Grasp the farming script in the famous book
Chapter 41
Wickham stopped a luxurious-looking carriage outside the largest inn in Epsom.
His only suspicion was that, in broad daylight, when the carriage drove out, the curtains hanging on the windows were hanging down in all directions.
Wickham was in a very bad mood: the kick he suffered last night must have made him lose face in front of the audience.
And he hasn't been able to figure it out until now, how can the other party avoid the "must go plot", is it the producer's intention to accommodate?Or is it true that "farming players" have the privilege to avoid emotional scenes?
Now seeing such a four-wheeled carriage leaving the hotel, Wickham stepped forward decisively, stopped the coachman, and proposed to check the situation in the carriage: he guessed that his prey might be hiding in someone else's carriage and left secretly Epsom.
"If you pull up the curtains and let me see a corner of the carriage, I won't be suspicious."
Wickham muttered to himself, "Why, why are you trying to be smart..."
Unexpectedly, at this moment, the curtain of the carriage was pulled open with a sound, and a middle-aged woman was sitting in the carriage, her eyebrows were raised upright, and she asked, "Who is this, who dares to stop Rosings?" vehicle?"
"Rosings? Miss de Boer?"
Wickham was startled, and vaguely saw another figure in the carriage, with his head turned away, leaning on the shoulder of a middle-aged woman, his hair scattered, and he appeared to be in poor health and exhausted.
Wickham, who had experienced Lady Catherine de Boer's sharp mouth, thought: How could it be so unlucky to get into this one's head?
He has no choice but to let him go obediently.
As soon as the carriage left, Roland had already bounced off the tutor's shoulders, and looked at Miss Darcy, who was huddled behind the curtain on the opposite side of the carriage.
She looked at the other's pale face distressedly, and asked with concern: "Are you okay?"
Miss Darcy blushed slightly, and said in a murmur, "I... I'm so useless."
Roland shook his head: "Don't you know how tolerant, kind, and generous you were just now?"
If Miss Darcy hadn't acquiesced in taking Roland in, but had started a quarrel and was discovered by Wickham, not only Roland might be taken away by Wickham as a "little escaped wife", but Miss Darcy...may have suffered some humiliation.
"You know Rosings too?" asked the governess in surprise. "Rosings is the home of Lady Catherine, the lady's aunt."
Roland nodded and replied seriously: "I have the honor to visit Rosings and meet Lady Catherine and Miss De Boer."
"My name is Lydia Bennett. Miss Darcy, I have known you for a long time. It is a pleasure to meet you today."
Miss Darcy's beautiful big eyes suddenly straightened, and she stared blankly at Roland.
No one spoke in the carriage for a while, only the sound of the stage horse's hooves, rattling, rattling...
"Are you really Miss Bennet?" Miss Darcy's cheeks blushed slightly, "You have been mentioned many times in my brother's letter. I really didn't expect to meet you here today."
"It's true." Roland's smile was also very sincere. "It's a long story about the meeting today. I will tell you the whole experience when the time is right."
The expression on her face clearly told the little girl in front of her: Don't worry, Miss Darcy, I will wholeheartedly and bravely protect you for the rest of the journey——
Who let us go through a similar experience?
After leaving Epsom, Roland immediately began to think about how to deal with this matter.
According to Wickham, her "letters" to relatives and friends have been sent out-it is expected that Wickham will get her manuscript through Mrs. Young, and can imitate her handwriting.
Relatives and friends may not be able to distinguish the authenticity of the letter.
The rumor, therefore, that she had "eloped" with Wickham must have spread.
She can't act too hastily, but should find a suitable time to clarify this matter not only in front of relatives and friends, but also in front of the world, otherwise the sisters of the Bennett family will suffer reputation because of her.
In addition, although Wickham is stupid occasionally, he is also very smart when he is smart, but after she escapes, this "Long Aotian" may not be without backup.
The winners of this plane have a lot of bonuses, and Roland believes that the opponents will try their best to make a last-ditch effort.
After thinking for a long time, Roland finally decided to go north with Georgiana to Derbyshire, and not to disclose his news to relatives and friends for the time being, lest Wickham also hear the wind and take action.
But Mr. Darcy must be informed.No sooner had they arrived in London than an urgent letter was sent to Pemberley, Derbyshire.
And when Mr. Darcy received the letter, he had just left Elizabeth and rushed to London, preparing to try to rescue Roland.
Mr. Darcy breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the letters from Roland and Georgiana.
He agreed with Roland, thinking that Roland must not just go home so hastily, but should appear in a place with many people, and said that she had been with Georgiana during this time - in order to reduce the impact of gossip .
It was also after receiving this letter that Mr. Darcy immediately turned around to meet Elizabeth and Gardner, who were going south, and arranged a grand luncheon at Pemberley.
Seeing Roland, Elizabeth and the Gardners both heaved a sigh of relief and felt relieved.
"Little sister, have you sent a letter to Longborn? Everyone is in a hurry..."
Elizabeth finally found a chance to talk to Roland alone.
Roland reached out and patted the back of his sister's hand: "Don't worry, the letters to all relatives and friends will be delivered on time today."
That is to say, today, at the same point in time, all relatives and friends who know about this matter will receive clarification that the elopement with Mr. Wickham is completely non-existent.She had been with Miss Darcy from the moment she left the publisher.
Even the publisher Mr. Skrtel will receive an apology letter from her, expressing his apology for her leaving without saying goodbye that day, stating that she will absolutely abide by the publishing agreement, and gently reminding the publisher that Mrs. Younger is not a nice guy.
"Lizzie, come and meet my friend, Miss Georgiana Darcy."
Roland suddenly remembered the people around him, and hurriedly brought friends to meet his sister—they had traveled north side by side in the past few days, and Roland had already fully understood Georgiana's character, and became good friends with her.
"Thanks to her help this time!"
When Elizabeth heard this, she held Georgiana's hands gratefully, but found that Georgiana was actually a very shy little girl—it was rumored that she was arrogant, but most of it was caused by her shyness and reluctance to talk.
"Lizzie, Georgiana is amazing. She's a real talent."
Roland brags unreservedly around his friends.
Georgiana lowered her head shyly, red clouds flew up on her face.
Mr. Darcy consciously stood at a distance, watching his sister and the others talking on their own, very comforted in his heart.
Even in his opinion, Georgiana... seems to have become a lot braver and cheerful after just spending so many days with Roland.
It was imperative for Roland to hurry to see his aunt and uncle and tell him that he was fine.The Gardners were very relieved—but they were still very curious, and they really couldn't figure out how the youngest niece turned from a murdered and despised slutty girl into Pemberley's guest.
With the participation of Roland and Georgiana, the luncheon was held lively.
Most of the people were surprised by the appearance of the two girls, but they didn't think much about it.
Like any proud parent, Mr. Darcy had made it a point for his sister to show off: an elegant grand piano had long since been placed on the Pemberley terrace.
Miss Bingley went over and opened the piano cover, and said to Georgiana with a smile: "My dear Miss Darcy, it is up to you."
Georgiana's face was red, and she turned her face to look for Roland in the crowd.
Roland saw the piano approaching: "Georgianna, I have already heard that your performance is very good in Rosings, and now I am even more impatient to hear it with my own ears."
There seems to be a strange chemical reaction between Georgiana and Roland. Georgiana is willing to believe whatever Roland says——
Sure enough, Georgiana nodded when she heard Roland's words, went to sit on the piano bench, raised her hands, placed her ten fingers lightly on the keys, and at the same time raised her head and looked at Roland.
Roland smiled encouragingly at her.
In the next second, the beautiful and moving sound of the piano flowed out from under Georgiana's fingers.
Most of the people who gathered and chatted outdoors in twos and threes were attracted by the sound of the music, stopped talking and listened quietly to Georgiana's performance, applauding in unison.
After Georgiana withdrew her hand, she stroked her heart, looking flattered.
Roland looked at her with a smile, thinking that this little girl is really happy, she is a cute little girl who has been well protected by her brother.
But some wind and rain must be endured by Georgiana herself, otherwise it would be difficult for her to learn how to manage her own life.
Georgiana thanked everyone for their praise, and at the invitation of Miss Bingley, played a Scottish ditty for everyone.
The tune was melodious and cheerful, and on the big platform in front of Pemberley, some guests could not help but dance to the tune.
Roland stood by the piano and listened to Georgiana play, lost in thought.
Suddenly, she heard Georgiana play two notes wrong, and then the whole tune was thrown out of order.Something suddenly disturbed the performer's mood, making her playing full of mistakes and omissions.
Roland raised his head and saw Georgiana's face was flushed red, her fingers were messy, and the tune she was fingering was out of tune.
There was shame and fear in her eyes, and she was looking in a certain direction in front of the Pemberley mansion.
Roland also saw an open carriage parked there, and another man was getting off his horse.It was needless to say that this was George Wickham—who had been tracked down to Pemberley.
Roland stood behind Georgiana, stretched out his hand, and put it lightly on her shoulder.
"Dear friend, don't be afraid—"
"You're in Pemberley, it's your home, you have your brother, and you're surrounded by your friends."
"We will spare no effort to support you, but you also have to face it bravely."
"..."
Listening to this, Georgiana's fingers gradually stabilized, and the tune became smooth again.
"What happened in the past can no longer hurt you, let alone that man with bad conduct."
On the way to Pemberley, Roland had a heart-to-heart talk with Georgiana, and thus learned something about the little girl's past.
The summer before last, Georgiana was coaxed by Wickham and promised him to elope with him.
This matter was discovered and stopped by Mr. Darcy in time, and Georgiana avoided a rash and unfortunate marriage.
Mr. Darcy gave Wickham a sum of money for this, and sent him to America—on condition that Wickham would never return to Pemberley, and never see Georgiana again.
But today, Wickham broke his oath and returned to Pemberley again.
"As a friend, and as a female compatriot who has had a similar experience, I am willing to stand by your side forever."
Roland was still standing behind Georgiana, with his right hand lightly resting on Georgiana's shoulder——
"But this time, the opponent is coming for me... Dear friend, at this moment, I also need your courage, your strength—"
Indeed, Roland was taking a deep breath: she had been ruminating before, guessing what Wickham would do to her.She thought of many possibilities, but not all the tricks she could deal with.
At this moment, she is encouraging her friends as well as herself.
At the same time, Georgiana's piano sound became more and more stable and powerful, and even vague anger could be heard from the piano sound, as if she was accusing Wickham.
Her subordinates changed the tune, and it was no longer a melodious Scottish tune, but a majestic and passionate style.Georgiana seemed to be expressing her support for Roland in her own way.
"Yes, we will stand together."
Roland patted Georgiana's shoulder gratefully, turned around, and faced Wickham's direction.
With him was a middle-aged man in a dark coat who looked like he was either a lawyer or a notary.
"Dear Georgiana, I haven't seen you for so long, I didn't expect you to welcome me in this way—"
Wickham said loudly in Roland's direction.
Georgiana's piano sounded again.
But she immediately regained her courage and continued to play the original tune.
The anger and excitement from the sound of the piano reminded all the guests in Pemberley.
All the guests stopped talking and gathered towards the piano.
Mr. Darcy, having long since ceased talking to Elizabeth, caught up quickly and stopped Wickham.
"Unexpectedly, you still have the face to come back here?"
"George Wickham, if you stay here for a minute, you are tarnishing the mind and reputation of your late father. You are not welcome here, please leave Pemberley immediately."
But Wickham smiled at Mr. Darcy: "You have the nerve to mention old Mr. Darcy?"
This provocation only angered Mr. Darcy thoroughly. He immediately took out a glove from his coat pocket, and was about to throw it at Wickham's handsome face.
The guests exclaimed, Mr. Darcy challenged Wickham to a duel with him?
However, the rights and wrongs between Darcy and Wickham, few people know the inside story - no one is willing to stand up who is right.
Only Mr. Bingley took a big step and stood beside Mr. Darcy.
"stop!"
At the critical moment, Wickham yelled to stop: "I'm not here today to quarrel with you, my dear godbrother—"
"Even if you want to drive me away out of old grievances, I won't care about it. But, I want to take her away!"
Wickham pointed in the direction of the piano, and at the same time pointed to two people, Roland and Georgiana.
Georgiana's piano sound stopped abruptly, and the girl's pretty face was as pale as paper.
Roland took a big step forward and said to Mr. Wickham: "Here are all free citizens of this country. You have no right to take anyone away."
Wickham was actually blocked by her words, he paused for a while before he realized, and quickly changed his tone, and said to Roland: "Dear Mrs. Wickham, don't be arrogant, come home with me!"
What? ——All the guests present, who knew Mr. Wickham, were all stunned on the spot at the moment.
Mrs. Wickham?
Mr. Wickham When was this married?
In other words, an income of six or seven thousand pounds a year-this marriage...is not bad.
Many of the guests here have also considered Wickham as a marriage partner—unexpectedly, they were preempted?
"Ladies and gentlemen, Miss Lydia Bennet and I were married at Gretna Green a few days ago. We had a slight quarrel yesterday, and she left alone."
"Ladies and gentlemen, we are newlyweds, and it is not uncommon for us to quarrel. Please help me persuade Mrs. Wickham, and come with me to return to Longbourne to visit my father-in-law and mother-in-law."
"We won't disturb everyone's pleasure."
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Wickham glared at Roland: "Why don't you come with me?"
Married at Gretna Green?
The guests at Pemberley showed suddenly enlightened expressions.
People gave way one after another, as if Roland should follow Wickham to leave, and it was only natural for husbands and wives to follow each other.
Whatever Miss Bennet's true intentions may be, now that she's married to Wickham... let's not bother with family matters.
Fortunately, Roland still had relatives and friends present.
The Gardners stepped forward immediately.
Uncle Gardner had seen Mr. Wickham before, and said at once: "Mr. Wickham, I think your honor must be mistaken."
"The niece went to London a few days ago to discuss publishing matters with the publisher. After everything was negotiated, she met Miss Darcy."
"The niece originally planned to come to Derbyshire to join us. After meeting Miss Darcy, the two decided to come together."
"These days, my niece has been with Miss Darcy. What you said about Gretna Green is probably your imagination?"
"A few days ago, my niece did get a little property. Your Excellency was so eager to propose marriage to my niece but was rejected. Now you are spreading rumors in the public, Mr. Wickham, you really think that our relatives and friends don't exist. ?"
Uncle Gardner was thoughtful and quick to respond.
He had only had a few conversations with Roland before, and he had guessed all the motives of Roland and Wickham on his own. At this time, he said everything with reason and evidence, and all the guests in Pemberley nodded repeatedly.
If so, it would be a crime to stand by and let Wickham take Miss Bennet away.
But Wickham seemed to be ready. He turned around and pointed to the person who came with him:
"This is the notary of Gretna Green. After we got married, a notarization was done with him."
"This guy just happened to go south for something, so I invited him over."
"Gentlemen, here are all the legal papers of our marriage. Miss Lydia Bennet and I are indeed married."
With that, Wickham turned to Miss Darcy: "Dear Georgiana, I have always regarded you as my sister. I know you have heard my wife's rhetoric and tried to cover up for her."
"Georgianna, lying is not a good habit!"
"Come on, let's be honest, you and my wife didn't meet in London at all, did you?"
His only suspicion was that, in broad daylight, when the carriage drove out, the curtains hanging on the windows were hanging down in all directions.
Wickham was in a very bad mood: the kick he suffered last night must have made him lose face in front of the audience.
And he hasn't been able to figure it out until now, how can the other party avoid the "must go plot", is it the producer's intention to accommodate?Or is it true that "farming players" have the privilege to avoid emotional scenes?

Unexpectedly, at this moment, the curtain of the carriage was pulled open with a sound, and a middle-aged woman was sitting in the carriage, her eyebrows were raised upright, and she asked, "Who is this, who dares to stop Rosings?" vehicle?"
"Rosings? Miss de Boer?"
Wickham was startled, and vaguely saw another figure in the carriage, with his head turned away, leaning on the shoulder of a middle-aged woman, his hair scattered, and he appeared to be in poor health and exhausted.
Wickham, who had experienced Lady Catherine de Boer's sharp mouth, thought: How could it be so unlucky to get into this one's head?

"This is the notary of Gretna Green. After we got married, a notarization was done with him."
"This guy just happened to go south for something, so I invited him over."
"Gentlemen, here are all the legal papers of our marriage. Miss Lydia Bennet and I are indeed married."
With that, Wickham turned to Miss Darcy: "Dear Georgiana, I have always regarded you as my sister. I know you have heard my wife's rhetoric and tried to cover up for her."
"Georgianna, lying is not a good habit!"
"Come on, let's be honest, you and my wife didn't meet in London at all, did you?"
