Annie actually felt something while eating lunch, but she never thought that her marriage proposal would come so soon.She is standing in the garden of the backyard at the moment, surrounded by all kinds of blooming flowers, the sky is blue and blue, with white clouds floating, and the fountain behind her sprinkles crystal clear spring water. The rainbow is looming, and everything is simply romantic.

Mr. Darcy knelt in front of Anne, holding up the ring he took out from the study this morning, "Miss Anne Steele, I can't suppress myself anymore, my feelings for you are sincere and warm , I respect you, I love you, I will give you the best life I can give, please agree to my marriage proposal."

Annie clutched her chest, trying to calm down her excitement, and said nervously, "But I thought it wasn't time yet."

Mr. Darcy held Anne's hand, kissed the back of her hand intimately, and then said: "Annie, we have known each other for long enough, we know each other, we love each other, we are ready to get married. I know You and Lucy will be going back to Barton in a few days, but I will probably need to stay in London all summer, maybe not until autumn. Anne, I don't want to be separated from you for so long, please stay in London , will you come with me?"

"Mr. Darcy, are you really going to stay in London for the whole summer?" Anne asked hesitantly.

"I don't know the specifics. Although the last strike was resolved, it still had a great impact on the factory. It will take a lot of money to fire the workers who caused the riots, rehire good workers, and at the same time ensure the normal production of the factory. A long time," said Mr Darcy.

Anne was really worried about leaving for a whole summer, that Miss Bingley was watching her like a tiger, and every time she attended a banquet, there were many women pestering Mr. Darcy. Anne believed in Mr. Darcy's character, but she didn't trust those women at all. Character, in the eyes of those women, as long as they are not married, everything is possible, right?

But as Mr. Darcy's lover, she can't live in Mr. Darcy's house with Lucy all the time, otherwise people will definitely say that she has behaved badly.At that time, not only will her reputation be repaid, but the reputations of both families will be damaged.

And Anne soon thought of Mr. Darcy's legendary aunt, Mrs. de Bourgh, who was determined to pay attention to Mr. Darcy's marriage to her sick daughter, if she knew that Mr. Darcy was in If you fall in love with her, maybe you will take your daughter to London while she is back in Barton.

Thinking of this, Annie became even more worried, and she looked at the ruby ​​ring held by Mr. Darcy again, stretched out her finger decisively, and said, "Mr. Darcy, I agree to your marriage proposal, for this reason I feel very honored."

Mr. Darcy's eyes lit up, and he immediately put on the ring for Annie, then he bent his head, and deeply imprinted a kiss on Annie's finger, this time not through his finger, but really kissed Annie's skin.

All the surrounding sounds seemed to have quieted down, Annie's heart was beating violently, she could clearly feel Mr. Darcy's warm and soft lips, and her face turned red in an instant, even if this There were only the two of them in the yard, but such an intimate gesture still made Annie feel very shy.

After kissing Anne's fingers, Mr. Darcy stood up quickly, with a bright and happy smile on his face, his usually quiet and deep eyes were shining brightly at this moment, he stared deeply at Anne eyes, and before Annie had time to react, he hugged her whole body in his arms, and kissed her lips excitedly.

Georgiana and Lucy, who were peeking at the corner of the garden, immediately covered their mouths with their hands, so as not to disturb the newly born unmarried couple in the garden with their excited exclamations. Georgiana blushed even more excitedly. up.

Lucy felt that her life was complete at this moment. Since her parents passed away, her lifelong wish was to hope that she and her sister could marry a rich gentleman and live a prosperous life. Now this wish can be regarded as fulfilled, after all, they are now Only one wedding away.

"Let's go in quickly, don't disturb them." Lucy whispered.

Georgiana nodded in agreement, and then the two ladies sneaked back to the house on their tiptoes, not holding back their smiles along the way.

It took nearly half an hour for Anne and Mr. Darcy to leave the garden. At this time, except for the extra ring on Anne's finger, they could not see the slightest difference.

Lucy and Georgiana pretended to be sitting together embroidering handkerchiefs. When they saw the two coming in, they looked at each other tacitly, and then they couldn't help snickering together.

Seeing the two little girls laughing furtively, Annie walked over and asked, "What little secrets are you guys talking about? It doesn't matter if you don't tell me, but it's too obvious."

Lucy couldn't help laughing, looked at Annie and said, "We don't have any little secrets, it's your sister who has little secrets, right?"

Annie sat on the sofa and asked as if she didn't know anything, "Huh? I don't have any little secrets."

"Really? Then there's nothing!" said Lucy, looking down and giggling again with Georgiana.

Seeing the two of them like this, Anne said to Mr. Darcy: "Look at these two young ladies in our family. I don't know when they started getting so close. They all have a little secret in common."

Mr. Darcy looked at the three young ladies with a smile, and was very satisfied with the friendly atmosphere among them. Now he finds everything pleasing to his eyes, and he finally understands why those gentlemen are so keen on getting married. It was such a beautiful thing, and the mood of the whole person improved.

"Brother, you seem to be in a very good mood." Georgiana looked up at Mr. Darcy after laughing and said.

Mr. Darcy clasped his hands in his lap, sat up straight and coughed, and then said to Georgiana and Lucy: "Georgiana, Lucy, I have something to tell you..."

"Is it good news?" Georgiana asked, looking at Mr. Darcy with round eyes.

Mr. Darcy nodded and said, "Lucy, I just successfully proposed to your sister, and I hope to get the blessings of both of you."

"Of course, of course we will bless you."

Lucy and Georgiana spoke one after another, and then they all looked sideways at Mr. Darcy, expecting him to continue to say some exciting words, but Mr. Darcy didn't continue after saying this, and sat there silently. Hooked lips smiled.

"Brother, have you finished?" Georgiana couldn't help asking, she was expecting Mr. Darcy to say something romantic, but it was over, Georgiana felt that this was a bit too perfunctory.

"It's over." Mr. Darcy glanced at Georgiana inexplicably, and felt that his sister's expression was a little strange. Georgiana's love had always hoped that Anne could become his sister-in-law. Logically speaking, it should be very pleasant to hear that his proposal was successful. You should be happy, but now you don't seem very happy.

Anne glanced at Mr. Darcy speechlessly. This man is not a romantic person in essence. Just now, he thought that proposing marriage in the garden is already very powerful. Under normal circumstances, it is the same as the day he confessed his love. It is not romantic at all. Not even romantic words.Men in this era don’t say that like Wickham and Willoughby, who put sweet words on their lips every day, memorize all kinds of love poems, and come up with a Shakespeare sonnet from time to time, they will generally be like Edward or Bentley Mr. said some ambiguous and provocative words like that.As for Mr. Darcy, even the proposal is serious, so don't expect him to be able to say something romantic in front of everyone.
