Pride and Prejudice the Poor Princess

Darcy was born in a family of merchants, and in his grandfather's generation, his family had accumulated quite astonishing wealth.However, no amount of wealth can buy people's respect for businessmen, who are rejected by the so-called upper class.

In his father's generation, he finally married a noble lady, but he still failed to get the title he dreamed of.Darcy knew from a young age that he wanted to fulfill his father's unfulfilled wish, although he sneered at the gradually declining nobles.

He received the most rigorous education, which formed his cautious and rational, serious and rigid character.To be honest, this character is very unlikable, so he has very few friends.However, you don’t need many friends, just two or three sincere ones are enough.

Among them, the one with whom he got along the most was Charles Bentley.His cheerfulness and easy-going just make up for Darcy's rigorous and rigid.

When Bentley invited him to play in the country for a while, he agreed without hesitation.As Bentley said, getting rid of his heavy workload for a while has done a lot for his health.

The journey was not pleasant because of Miss Bingley's endless pestering.But out of respect for Bentley, Darcy did not show his impatience.

The countryside is indeed a quiet place. The carriage drove for a long time without seeing a single person. The goal was the endless fields and the vast blue sky.The scenery is beautiful, but it is a bit monotonous after a long time.

Because of Horst's exclamation, Darcy quickly discovered a bright color in this monotonous scene.It was a slender figure walking calmly on the narrow field ridge.

His mother had told him that every move of a real noble lady is as graceful as poetry, because they have received the strictest etiquette training since childhood.It will take them three or four years just to practice walking, and they have to carry a thick parchment book on their heads every day, keeping calm and demure but at the same time elegant and agile.

Calmness and agility are completely opposite concepts, and Darcy can't imagine that anyone can do it.At least, in the 26 years he's been alive, he's never seen one.

However, in the deserted countryside, he met such a figure from the back that caught all his eyes.

She walked steadily step by step, and the distance of each step seemed to be measured, neither more nor less.She stepped on the grass but seemed to be walking on the clouds, and could float up to the sky like a feather in the breeze.

At this moment, she fulfilled all his imagination.

He couldn't help but cast his gaze on her face, it was not a beautiful face, but it made people feel extremely comfortable.The first glance is plain, but the second glance has a special taste.He couldn't help but look a few more times.

She felt his sizing up, the vanity and curiosity of not being noticed, she turned her body slightly, expressing her rejection and displeasure wordlessly.

This action fully demonstrated the elegance and nobility that is naturally revealed in her body, but in fact, she is just an ordinary country girl.

Darcy found it very strange that he remembered her unconsciously.

The residents of Langborn are very welcoming, and the number of people who come to visit has not stopped from the first day.This is undoubtedly a kind of torture for Darcy who is not sociable.However, he has long learned to hide his true emotions in his heart, using a mask of indifference to isolate others from prying on him.

Of all the people who visited, Mrs. Bennet made the deepest impression on him.He had never seen someone who enjoyed herself as much as she did, even if no one answered her, she could still talk on and on.Even the good-tempered Bentley couldn't stand the other party's talkativeness.

But he had to admit that the more than an hour of exhaustion was worth it, because Mrs. Bennett had brought a unique gift.Darcy's displeasure was immediately appeased by those weird-looking but wonderful-tasting snacks.

The snacks were finished quickly, and he was extremely disappointed looking at the empty box, which also made him pay attention to a name—Mary.Later, he heard the name from other people many times, all of which were full of praise.

He originally thought that the other party must be a simple and capable girl, even with the roughness unique to rural women.But he was wrong, and it was a huge mistake!The moment he saw her, he felt the wonder of fate for the first time.

Not only is she not rough, but she is as gentle and delicate as an oil painting.She is the girl in the field!Looking at the exquisite dishes on the table, he felt that this was indeed her style.

However, Darcy once again found that he was wrong.She countered Sister Bingley's rudeness calmly, and her kind and easy-going attitude made it impossible to find any faults.He realizes that she is not as harmless as she appears.The contrast was so wonderful that he couldn't forget her face for days to come.

When Horst proposed to visit the Bennetts again, Darcy felt a surge of anticipation.But unfortunately, she was not there, and almost instantly, he had the idea of ​​going back home.

Then he heard that she was actually at the stables caring for a mare that was about to give birth.The filthy stable and the slender girl, he couldn't connect the two at all.Moreover, the two ladies of the Bennett family are staying safely in the house, wearing neat and clean skirts, eating sweet and delicious snacks, and chatting about meaningless topics, why let her bear this burden work?Where is Mr. Bennett?

A trace of dissatisfaction emerged from the bottom of his heart, and he couldn't help questioning Mrs. Bennett.

Mrs. Bennet was very upset and contradicted him loudly.The best horseman?Apart from perfect manners, superb painting skills and amazing cooking skills, is there anything more amazing about that girl?He became more and more curious about her.

The door was pushed open, and Darcy suddenly met Mary's blue eyes.She was very embarrassed at this moment, but the simplicity and calmness on her face weakened all negative impressions and made her look so special.Seeing the visiting guests, she didn't feel the slightest bit of embarrassment, instead she greeted them very calmly.This kind of her makes people unable to feel the slightest contempt.

Seeing her leave in a hurry, Darcy couldn't help but want to keep up.

Miss Bingley's proposal caught his fancy.

The horse farm was really messy, and the neighing of the mares when they gave birth was disturbing.Darcy saw Mary in the crowd at a glance, and she actually delivered the mare herself.What a bold girl.

A side profile couldn't satisfy Darcy's curiosity. He walked around the fence and finally stood where he could look directly at Mary's face.

The gushing blood splashed all over her, and the Bingley sisters behind her screamed piercingly, and Darcy couldn't help frowning.

Then, she quickly treated the mare's wound, stood up and looked in their direction, the blood stained on her face and skirt did not damage her appearance, but gave her a thrilling charm.Her gesture of raising the hem of her skirt was like a real princess, elegant and noble.

Meeting her sight, Darcy suddenly felt a burst of tension, his heart beating out of control, chaotic and powerful.Looking further, his strangeness will be discovered by others, so he quickly looked away, this action consumed his huge self-control.

For the next few days, he often saw her frightening face in his dreams, she stood in a large sea of ​​blood-red flowers, showing a gentle smile to him.

Darcy felt that the bloody scene must have stimulated him, and he began to take over the official duties again, letting busyness help him get rid of these weird and unexplained dreams.

Sir Lucas was going to hold a ball, and when he heard the news, the first thought that popped into Darcy's mind was—that he could see Mary again.

At Bingley's suggestion, he chose an expensive silk neckerchief, which would not make him stand out, but would attract some attention.

Mary is more popular than he imagined, and there are always people around her.He wanted to get closer, but he didn't like to join in the excitement, as if someone was constantly pulling in his heart, which felt very annoying.When the music sounded, he finally made up his mind and asked her to dance, but was stopped by Miss Bingley halfway.

How much he wanted to shake off her hand, but the gentleman education he had received since he was a child made him unable to refuse a lady's invitation.He walked off the dance floor, but his eyes always looked at Mary involuntarily.

None of the young gentlemen at Langborn had invited her, not a single one!Darcy felt extremely surprised, but felt a strange sense of relief in his heart.That's good, after this dance, he will invite her.

At the end of the song, he slowly approached Mary, thinking about how to talk to her and how to politely invite her to dance in his mind, but soon, he began to blame himself for thinking so much.Mary was surrounded by a group of people again, airtight!He could only go back to the corner at the beginning and look at her from afar.

He never felt bad about being alone, but for the first time, he felt empty and restless.

Bingley approached, trying to persuade him to invite someone to the dance.He first proposes Mary's sister, which Darcy immediately rejects.If it wasn't for Mary, he wouldn't even remember her name or face.

Then Bingley pointed to Mary again, and Darcy's heart was moved by his proposal, but he refused again insincerely out of some kind of psychology.While Darcy hesitates, Miss Bingley speaks ironically of Mary's eccentricity of never dancing with anyone.

Darcy's mood suddenly became very happy. As Bingley said, Mary's temper was very similar to his, and they must have a lot of common topics.

It is undeniable that he wants to talk to her and get to know her deeply, and this desire cannot be suppressed.He finally made up his mind to walk towards her, with a mood of anticipation, but he deliberately ignored the trace of tension and excitement mixed in the anticipation.

At this time, he did not expect that what an embarrassing misunderstanding would be waiting for him.
