Pride and Prejudice the Poor Princess

Not long after Mary and her party left, the Bingley siblings and Georgiana arrived in Pemberley.They were escorted into the door by the housekeeper.

"Where's Mary, brother?" Georgiana asked anxiously.

Miss Bingley paled.She courted Georgiana all the way, but she seemed more interested in Mary, and Darcy must have said something to her.Did he really intend to marry her?

Due to Darcy's cautious character, the Bingley siblings do not know that he has proposed to Mary.

"You're late, they've just left. But I've invited her to visit at nine tomorrow morning, and you'll see her then." Darcy poured himself a glass of water, and added plenty of ice cubes.Right now he was hot and dry.

"Really? Then I have to make preparations earlier!" Georgiana's tone was a little nervous.Others don't know, but she has learned from her brother that Mary will be her sister-in-law.

"Where's Jane? Did Jane come with you?" Bingley asked hurriedly.

"Unfortunately, she stayed in Longborn." Darcy drank the ice water in one gulp, and felt better.He secretly began to consider his second marriage proposal.

"Darcy, do you remember what you said to me last time?" Miss Bingley smirked.

"What?" asked Darcy, motioning to Mrs. Reynolds to prepare dinner for them.

"You said Miss Mary would be the safest to marry you. Are you going to propose to her by introducing Georgiana to her?" Miss Bingley's voice was trembling.

Darcy glanced at her meaningfully, and said very seriously, "Actually, I am going to propose to her for the second time. I forgot to tell you that my first proposal was rejected by her." He stretched out his hand, signaling They move to the restaurant.

Georgiana covered her mouth and chuckled, thinking that it was very funny that her always strong brother was rejected.

The black tea in Bentley's hand almost dropped.He stared wide-eyed, looking at his serious friend in astonishment.

"She rejected you?!" Miss Bingley's suddenly raised voice could pierce one's eardrums.It was hard for her to imagine that anyone could refuse such a young, handsome and wealthy gentleman as Darcy.

"She has no vision at all!" As soon as the words fell, she immediately scolded fiercely.

"No, that just shows that she has a unique vision. I didn't deserve her love at that time." Darcy glanced at her coldly, turned to Georgiana, and said in a pleading tone, "Tomorrow, please let her I like you and Peng Boli, okay?"

"I will try my best to be my brother. But I think the most important thing is to make her like you." Georgiana's pertinent suggestion.

Darcy raised his firm jaw and whispered, "Of course."

The brother and sister walked towards the dining room while talking; Bingley followed behind, full of thoughts; Miss Bingley's dim eyes were full of despair, and she looked like she was out of her mind.

There was half a can of catfish soup left in the kitchen, and Mrs. Reynolds had fried up some more toast and bacon to scrape together a supper.As a result, the catfish soup became very popular. Georgiana, who had always had a poor appetite, ate the toast and bacon with the soup, tore open the overnight dry bread and threw it into the soup. After eating two bowls in a row, she was still satisfied.Finally Mrs. Reynolds told her that the soup was gone, and she reluctantly put down the spoon.

"Brother, hurry up and marry Miss Mary home, I think she must be very popular!" She said cautiously while wiping her mouth with a napkin.

"You're right." Darcy nodded, as if remembering something, his face was dark.

"I think I'm going to be single before you, Darcy. I'm going to propose to Jane, and she will never refuse me, she will just marry me as soon as possible!" Bingley put down the knife and fork, and announced triumphantly own latest decision.

"Charles, what nonsense are you talking about?!" Miss Bingley screamed in disbelief.

Darcy grew darker.

Party next day.

Mary remained cautious at first, but finding Georgiana to be the same age as she was, and to have an extremely innocent, sweet, even shy personality, she immediately relaxed and took the lead in the conversation.

She loves music and painting as much as Georgiana, and her attainments are not low, so she quickly won Georgiana's favor.They only knew each other for half an hour, as if they had known each other for half a lifetime, and they quickly developed to the point where they talked about everything.

Elizabeth's straightforwardness also won Georgiana's favor, and her humorous speech from time to time made them laugh again and again.

Miss Bingley alone remained sullen and silent.

Darcy and Bingley stood under the eaves, watching the girls drinking tea leisurely on the lawn from afar.

"Aren't you going to talk to Miss Mary, Darcy? If you want her to like you, you have to create as many opportunities to be alone as possible." Bingley lowered his voice and shared his experience.

Darcy's eyes flickered slightly, but he still stood still.

"You can invite her to your library, pour her a glass of wine, sit next to her, and talk about a romance novel in the softest voice. Believe me, that ambiguous atmosphere will make her heart beat Accelerate." Bentley raised his eyebrows.

"Romance novels? Miss Mary doesn't have such vulgar hobbies." Darcy satirized in a deep voice, and then walked towards the girls with both legs.His eyes were all focused on Mary, and she looked at him with a tacit understanding, and the heartbeats of both of them stopped at the same time.

"Would you like to visit my library, Miss Mary?" he asked softly.

"Of course!" Mary replied enthusiastically.

"I'd be more than happy to take a look." Miss Bingley smiled gracefully.

Darcy glanced at her indifferently, then stooped and held out his hand to Mary.

Mary didn't hesitate this time, and took his arm very naturally.The two walked towards the library while talking in low voices.

Completely neglected, Miss Bingley felt that she had no room for her face.She gritted her teeth and chased after the two of them.She didn't intend to give up until Darcy was formally engaged.

"You should wake up, Caroline! He's in love with her, very much! You won't have another chance!" Bingley took her arm in time to advise in a low voice, and then forced her to sit back.

Miss Bingley slumped on the chair, her expression changed wonderfully from humiliation to jealousy to despair.

Georgiana and Elizabeth looked at each other and shrugged in unison.

"Have a cup of black tea and another dessert, it will greatly improve your mood, Miss Bingley. You look terrible now!" Elizabeth pushed the black tea and cake in front of her, and tried her best not to show her A look of gloating.

The library of the Darcy family is very large, and the four walls are filled with towering bookshelves. There is a round table and a set of sofas in the middle. It must be a great idea to nestle in and read a book, and have a cup of coffee or black tea by the way. enjoyment.

Mary couldn't help closing her eyes, smelling the scent of books coming to her face.This smell is more refreshing than any floral scent.

"Do you like it, Miss Mary?" Darcy lowered his head and asked her, and quickly averted his eyes with just one glance.With her eyes closed, the way her red lips were slightly parted deeply tempted him to kiss her.He found that as long as he was with Mary, his self-control was facing a severe test every moment.

"I like it very much. If I can, I'd like to have a library too." Mary went to the bookshelf and looked at the labels on it.

"You will have it sooner or later." Darcy said meaningfully.

He took out a wooden box from the leftmost bookcase and handed it to her, "Take a look, Miss Mary."

Mary opened the box and saw the familiar thread-bound Chinese book inside, and a flash of nostalgia flashed across her eyes.The printing technique used in this book is so rough that many of the blocks are blurred together.But after two years away, she saw the characters of her motherland again, and she already felt very satisfied.

"In order to get it, you must have spent a lot of energy." She carefully rubbed the spine of the book with her hand.

Darcy stared at her pale fingertips, and his Adam's apple twitched slightly.Her gentle movements aroused many associations in him.

"It didn't take much effort. If you like it, please take it home. I found that the square blocks on it are somewhat similar to the English font you write." Darcy said hoarsely.

Mary smiled. The reason why she chose Gothic is because its sharp edges and corners are similar to the characters of her native country.Darcy's observation ability is very keen.

"Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Darcy. But you put it in such an exquisite box, which shows how much you value it. I'd better not take it away." Mary put the book back in the wooden box and handed it to Darcy before.

In fact, Darcy didn't pay much attention to this book. Before Mary came, it had been kept in a humble corner, but it was about to be a gift for Mary, so it was changed into a luxurious package.

Darcy did not insist, anyway, Mary will be his wife sooner or later, and everything he has will belong to her, including himself.He took the box and put it back to its original place, and took out some oriental calligraphy and paintings for Mary to appreciate.

Mary spread the calligraphy and painting on the round table, leaned over to examine it carefully.Darcy stood behind her, as if there was not enough light, and he moved closer to her until her golden hair lightly touched his shoulder.He took a deep breath without any trace, absorbed the charming fragrance from her body, listened attentively to her opinions on painting skills, and occasionally responded in a low voice.Her soft and mellow voice swirled in his mind, making his heart flutter. In the end, he hardly knew what she said. He only hoped that time would pass a little slower, a little slower.

"Generally speaking, these are two excellent works, but they are not high-quality works." Mary's tone was slightly regretful.She carefully rolled up the painting and put it back on the scroll.

"I see you have some good history books, can I read them, Mr. Darcy?" she said, pointing to a wall of books.

Reading means not being interrupted.After hesitating for a moment, Darcy sincerely proposed, "Don't you want to visit my wine cellar? I have collected many famous wines, but unfortunately I have never been able to find anyone to taste them with me."

Mary's eyes lit up, and she said briskly, "That's my honor."

From an angle she couldn't see, Darcy raised the corners of her lips in satisfaction.
