My years as a menswear boss

Even though Jiqiu lent Jane the umbrella, Jane developed a high fever that night.Dr. Jones of the Bingley family advised her not to move, but to rest in the villa.

Elizabeth, who was at the Bennet's house, was always worried when she received Jane's letter.

"I'm going to see Jane," Elizabeth said to her mother.

"Are you crazy, Liz. You don't know how to ride a horse, you can only go there in a carriage. Once you pass, it will be exposed, revealing that our family has a carriage, and Jane was deliberately exposed to the rain, just to stay in the muddy villa!" Mrs. Bennet cried.

"I don't care, then I'll go on foot, isn't it three miles away? I'll go there now, and I'll be back in the evening." Elizabeth said firmly.

Mrs. Bennet pulled her face down, "How can you be so stupid, the road is covered with mud now, don't you feel embarrassed when you get to the Swamp Villa?"

"Mom, I'm going too." Lydia said not to be outdone, she blurted out the words when she thought of Mr. Hyde of the Bingley family, and then Catherine, who was inseparable from her, also expressed that she would follow.

"Oh, please calm down for a while!" Mrs. Bennet covered her head. "Liz, go and see by yourself. Lydia and Katie, please stay at home."

With her mother's permission, Elizabeth ignored her younger sister Lydia's envious eyes, and walked on the road to Mr. Bingley's house. Along the way, she stepped on countless puddles of water on the ground, her shoes were muddy, and the corners of her skirt were splashed. There were a lot of mud ideas, she was sweating profusely, her legs and feet were sore, and she finally saw the shadow of the villa.

"Miss Bennet?" Darcy looked at the rosy-faced girl in front of him in surprise, his eyes were particularly clear and bright after exercising, he was a little absent-minded for a while, and it took a while to realize, "You are here to see your sister ?"

"Yes, Mr. Darcy." Elizabeth moved her eyes a little annoyed. The man had been staring at him just now, and the shocking expression on his face made her a little embarrassed. "Can you take me to see my sister?"

"Of course." Darcy walked ahead and slowed down quietly, "Did you come here on foot?"

Elizabeth shrugged, "As you can see, yes. Did my appearance just now scare you?"

"It's okay." Darcy replied indifferently.

The two of them were silent all the way until they reached the gate of the villa, and met Jiqiu who came back from a walk.

"Huh, Miss Bennet?" Jiqiu blinked and looked at the two people walking together. Among them, Elizabeth's body was wet, which was the condensation from the morning.

"Mr. Hyde." Elizabeth greeted Jiqiu with a smile.

Darcy looked at the smile on Elizabeth's face, which was completely different from the polite alienation when he first met, and felt a little depressed, "They really don't match, and her family background doesn't match Hyde at all. '

After telling myself over and over in my heart that they would not be together, my mood eased a lot.

Soon I thought, what if Hyde fell in love with Elizabeth Bennett? Would he be very sad? How should I comfort him?

"The servants will prepare hot tea for you. You must drink a cup. It will warm you up."

Jiqiu said gently, and she handed Jane a handkerchief, "Doctor Jones said Miss Jane will be fine, you can rest assured, take care of yourself first."

"I will. I'm just too worried about Jane." Elizabeth took the handkerchief and wiped the sweat off her face. She looked at the silk handkerchief in her hand, and it looked expensive at first glance, "If you don't mind, I'll clean it up and return it to you."

"You don't have to return it to me, it's for the ladies." Jiqiu said indifferently, she looked at the dust Daniel had just rubbed on her body, "It's time for me to change clothes, Darcy will take you there Jane's room."

The young man said excuse me, and his figure disappeared into the corridor. Elizabeth looked away, looked at Darcy beside her, and asked him, "Why don't you leave?" '

Darcy coughed twice to cover up, and on the way to the room, he said coldly, "Hyde treats every lady like this, his gentlemanly demeanor is widely spread in the upper class, Miss Bennet doesn't need to think too much. "

"I'd rather talk to a man who is a gentleman to every woman than a man who isn't."

Elizabeth frowned, "Mr. Darcy doesn't have to worry about me being sentimental. I know Mr. Hyde is a very kind person from the time he helped my sister out."

"It's good that you know." Darcy snorted coldly.

Elizabeth laughed angrily at his arrogance, and she was also annoyed when she came to Jane's bedroom.

"You seem to be in a bad mood, Liz." Jane said weakly on the bed.

Elizabeth fetched a glass of water for her, "I'm just worried about your body."

Jane shook her head slightly, "Don't lie to me, Liz. We grew up together, you can fool everyone, but you can't fool me."

Elizabeth had no choice but to recount the conversation between Mr. Darcy and her on the way just now. She imitated Darcy's accent perfectly, which made Jane laugh.

"He really said that?" Jane took a sip of water.

"Yes, pompous and self-confident man, I do feel sorry for Mr. Hyde, having such a friend."

"Mr. Hyde is a very good man. He is more perfect than Mr. Bingley. Why don't you try to grasp him?"

Jane looked at her sister and thought of the umbrella in the rain. She told Elizabeth about it, "If Mr. Hyde hadn't given me his umbrella, I'm afraid my condition would have been worse."

"My God, really?" Elizabeth stood up and paced by the bed, "Then I should thank Mr. Hyde!"

"You can go now, they should all be having morning tea in the living room during this time period." Jane suggested.

Elizabeth looked at the clean skirt on her body, and she agreed with Jane's suggestion, "You are right, Jane, I should go to Mr. Hyde to express my gratitude."

She followed the instructions of the servants on the way to the drawing room, and heard Miss Bingley's eloquent talk inside before knocking on the door.

After changing clothes, Jiqiu came to the living room. As soon as she entered, she was called by Bingley. They were playing cards, kermes and blackjack.

"Oh, Mr. Hyde, you are a killer at the poker table." Mr. Hurst threw away the cards in his hand. He looked at the high pile of banknotes in the young man's hand, and his tone was extremely envious.

"Mr. Hyde's cards are as good as his men," said Mrs. Hurst.

Although Bentley lost, he was still cheerful, because the four players at the poker table all lost cleanly except for Jiqiu himself.

"It's just luck." Jiqiu still had that calm look on her face, she turned her head and saw Miss Bingley wandering around Mr. Darcy.

"I couldn't believe my eyes, she was so vulgar, no lady was covered in mud like her."

Miss Bingley looked contemptuous, "Mr. Darcy, you definitely don't want your sister to have that expression."

"Of course." Darcy turned a page in the book in his hand.

"Miss Elizabeth is completely worried about her sister. She is a person who cares about her family very much." Bingley said disapprovingly.

"So what, Mr. Darcy, do you still think she is pretty?" Miss Bingley looked at Darcy without blinking.

"Of course." Darcy raised his head from the book, "You're blocking my light."

Miss Bingley walked away from the window in embarrassment. She looked at the four people at the card table, "I feel really sad for Jane Bennet. Parents and relatives who come to Taiwan may not be able to find a good family."

"Yes." Mrs. Hurst shuffled the cards in her hands. "I heard from her at dinner last night that my uncle is a humble little lawyer in Longbourn."

Miss Bingley put her handkerchief over her sharp lips, and said in a low voice, "She also has a merchant uncle who lives in Gypsy Street."

"We may have a chance to visit." Mrs. Hurst laughed.

Bingley frowned, "So what, even if she has a hundred uncles who live on Gypsy Street, she is still very likable."

Darcy looked at Bingley with a passionate expression, and was about to say something, but when he saw Jiqiu frowned, he suddenly remembered that the young man once said that his mother was the daughter of a merchant.

Because of repaying the debt owed by his father, he was able to marry Count Collenladen and gave birth to him.

"The status of a merchant does not affect a person's character. If a person is full of crimes, no matter how good his family background is, he is nothing but mud wrapped in gorgeous silk." Darcy said.

Jiqiu looked at Darcy with a cold face, she leaned on the chair, "You really impress me, Darcy."

"I thought you would say that they are unable to marry single men with money and status in society."

Darcy pursed his lips, he really thought so in his heart, he only said these insincere words when he saw his brother's ugly face, but seeing Hyde's face softened, he felt that white lies were necessary .

The servant at the door interrupted their conversation, "Miss Bennet is waiting outside the door."

Jiqiu looked at Elizabeth who had changed into clean clothes and came in from the door, "How much did she listen to the conversation just now?" '

Elizabeth walked in, without looking at anyone else, she cast her eyes on Jiqiu, "I thank Mr. Hyde."

"Don't worry about it." Jiqiu tilted his head and looked at Elizabeth, who looked a little cold. "Do you need to ask Dr. Jones to look at your sister again?"

"I think so." Elizabeth said to Bingley who had just got up, "I'm really sorry to trouble you, Mr. Bingley."

"This is what I should do. You can stay here, Miss Bennet." Bingley said sincerely, "With you here, Jane's condition will get better faster."

"No, this is too much trouble for you."

Despite Bingley's repeated attempts to stay, Elizabeth still stayed. She couldn't relax for a day without seeing Jane's recovery.
