My years as a menswear boss

"Bingley, do you think that is Miss Bennet?" Ji Qiu rode on the horse and gestured towards the door of a hat shop.

"Oh, yes. I'm going to say hello to them." Bingley's eyes lit up, he got off his horse, and came to Sister Bennet.

Darcy also noticed Elizabeth next to Jane. He originally wanted to get off the horse, but when he saw a familiar figure, his face became extremely ugly.

When Jiqiu saw Wickham standing next to a red uniform, he couldn't help squinting his eyes.

Wickham in the crowd turned around and saw Darcy on horseback, his face turned pale, and he touched his top hat lightly.

Darcy rode away without looking sideways, Jiqiu raised a smile, touched his hat with his hand, and sighed in his heart, the haunted spirit lingers.

Elizabeth on the side noticed this episode, and she silently observed the strange aura between the three.

"Mr. Hyde!" Lydia called out loudly when she saw the young man on horseback.

Jiqiu felt that the eyes of the people in the town were focused on her. She hesitated for a while on the horseback, and then waved at her.

"Lydia!" Elizabeth scolded in a low voice. Looking at her younger sister who had been honest for a few days and relapsed, she really had a headache.

"Hyde, we still have a lot of things to do." Darcy noticed his brother's predicament and immediately called out to rescue him.

Jiqiu breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly followed. She turned her head and met Mary's eyes. She had an impression of this quiet girl, so she raised her hat and smiled at her.

Mary subconsciously clenched the sheet of music that she always kept in her hand. It was for going to Aunt Philip's house in a while, and she wrote down the music that she played with the youth last time.

Jiqiu has already changed the plot of Wickham's coaxing Georgiana with the hints given by his brain. He revealed it to Darcy before he had time to make a move. .But Wickham still appeared in front of Miss Bennet.

'Then who is the lady who was tricked? '

Jiqiu thought silently. She first ruled out Jane, who was in love with Bingley, and then Elizabeth, the heroine, so only Mary, Catherine, and Lydia remained.

'Could it be Mary? '

'Quiet and well-behaved ladies are generally the first choice for scumbags. '

"What are you thinking?" Darcy interrupted Jiqiu's thinking.

"I'm wondering what bad things Wickham is going to do again." Jiqiu replied truthfully, "He has always been a scumbag who specializes in deceiving women, and his nature is already bad."

"You have a bad impression of him from the first time you met him. From what I've seen, he hasn't offended you."

Darcy looked at Jiqiu with an indifferent expression, and tightened the rein in his hand, "I hate him even more than I do."

"You've never liked him, either. Anyway, you've known each other for many years." Jiqiu looked at Darcy on the black horse, "Don't tell me that there is no reason to hate someone. As far as I know, you won't take it easy Hate someone."

"George Wickham is a very pretentious person, I don't like it, but looking at my father's face, I won't be too embarrassed." Darcy said, "But he just... I can't tolerate this, so From disliking to loathing, and you hated him from the beginning, just like you met Howard when you were in school, why?"

"Intuition." Jiqiu said slowly, seeing Darcy's smiling expression, she had to add, "My intuition is very accurate."

"However, can you bear it if he speaks ill of you to Miss Bennet?"

"His inferior and vulnerable means, if those ladies believe it, I think they are so stupid." Darcy looked forward and said.

Jiqiu steered Daniel to follow Darcy's horse, "Of course these rumors can't fool you gentlemen who are struggling among cunning businessmen, but they are enough to fool those naive ladies."

"I admit that Miss Elizabeth is a smart and careful person, not a vain vase, but she will believe those lies because of her prejudice against you. After all, you don't look like a good person." Jiqiu has always fired fiercely at her brother.

But as the elder brother, Darcy has already experienced many battles and put on the armor, "So what, there is no possibility between us anyway, why should we care about her opinion."

"If you really didn't care about her thoughts at all, you wouldn't talk to me so much."

Jiqiu sighed, "If you didn't care about external factors, I'm afraid you would have fallen in love with her already."

"Family is an inseparable factor. I can't stand her philistine mother, who is narrow-minded, short-sighted, and mercenary."

Darcy's words became very harsh, and he turned to look at the young man's expression of listening carefully. He felt that his words were inappropriate, and forcibly added, "But she still loves her daughter."

Jiqiu laughed softly, "Yeah, even though I knew you had property comparable to the entire Derbyshire, I didn't try to curry favor with you in order to marry my daughter to you.

In fact, you can just think of her as a mother, your wife's mother, you don't have to live together, you just get together once a year at most. "

"Forgive me for not being able to agree with your thoughts. In this way, I will have to face this witch-like woman for decades."

Darcy frowned and denied, "You imagined marriage too childishly, Hyde. It's not just about life, but also for the family. I don't want this marriage to bring benefits to my family, but I don't want my wife's The family is disgraceful."

"So, why not accept Miss Bingley?"

Jiqiu shrugged, "She meets the standards of high society, and she's not bad looking."

Darcy was silent for a long time before speaking, "I don't know."

"Look at your heart, dear Mr. Darcy, your arrogance prevents you from accepting Miss Bennet as your wife, but your prejudice does not allow you to fall in love with any woman other than Miss Bennet .” Jiqiu said.

"You're running from yourself."

"Darcy, Hyde! Why didn't you wait for me!" Bingley came riding from behind.

"Oh, I thought you'd follow them to the house party, after all you couldn't wait to join them," Darcy said.

Bingley scratched his head, "Miss Bennet invited me, but I don't think it would be good to leave you behind."

"You really surprised me, Bentley. I thought you were a slutty person." Jiqiu said in surprise.

"You really wronged me, you are equally important to me." Bingley said sincerely.

Meanwhile, Elizabeth and the others arrived at Mr. Philip's door.

She took a good liking to the well-mannered man before her, and, save for a lingering sense of strangeness, Elizabeth would rather speak to him than stay with her cousin, Mr. Collins.

The conversation between the two was very engaged, and Elizabeth gradually relaxed her vigilance towards him, and couldn't help but speak out from her heart, "You seem to know Mr. Darcy?"

"Yes, he grew up with me." Wickham nodded and admitted, "What kind of person do you think he is?"

"Very proud. I spent four days with him in the Mireland Villa. This is simply unbearable for me. I hate him very much." Elizabeth frowned.

"Oh, really?" Wickham raised his eyebrows. "I've known him for a long time, so I can't make an objective evaluation. As a gentleman, talking about others behind his back is a very annoying thing."

"I couldn't be more disgusted than Mr. Darcy. I can't find anything good in him."

"Calm down, Miss Bennet." Wickham calmed down softly. He watched Elizabeth's mood ease and continued, "In my opinion, his temper is really unbearable."

His expression became a little sad, which made Elizabeth feel sympathetic to him. Wickham said softly, "The reason why I had to leave Derbyshire is also because of his part, otherwise, who would want to betray the people they grew up with?" place."

"Why do you say that?" Elizabeth asked curiously.

"Mr Darcy's father was my godfather, he loved me very much during his lifetime, and left a will after his death, promising me a priesthood.

He treated me as a second son, and poor words cannot describe his kindness to me, but after the death of the godfather, Mr. Darcy gave to another man the priesthood that should have been given to me. "

"How could this be? Last words have legal effect." Elizabeth covered her mouth in surprise.

"Because this will has not gone through formal procedures, it is not eligible for a legal lawsuit. Mr. Darcy accused me of being extravagant, and I have no right to get this job. I can only watch him ignore the last words of the godfather."

"My God, he's so hideous," thought Elizabeth, "but why would he do that?"

"Because the godfather's love for me has surpassed that of his own son, out of jealousy, he can't stand the godfather still taking care of me after his death."

Wickham sighed, "It's really sad. I can't imagine that such a noble godfather has a son with an ugly mind."

Elizabeth was fascinated for a while listening to his talk.

He looked at Elizabeth, who was full of trust, and felt very proud, "Of course there is also his friend, Mr. Hyde, who is just like him."

"Squeak—" The piercing sound of a nearby piano interrupted Wickham's speech.

"Sorry, my hands are slippery." Mary on the piano bench lowered her head and pushed the glasses on the bridge of her nose, and people soon let go of this episode.

At this time, Elizabeth was like a basin of cold water pouring down from her head, "What do you mean, Mr. Hyde?"

"Yes, he has always been proud of his noble blood and looked down on common people. Mr. Hyde's father is the Earl of Curranladen, a highly respected nobleman, but he has always looked down on his father, and usually belittles him in words.

Relying on his father's connections, he entered the House of Lords, where he was reused, turned around many fans of noble ladies, and after winning the hearts of those girls, he declared that he was not interested in them. "

Wickham's handsome face was distorted for a moment, and soon he returned to his gentle appearance.

"But...Mr. Hyde seems to be a very nice person." Elizabeth felt her brain buzzing.

"He has always disguised himself very well. Mr. Hyde's appearance is very deceptive, but it does not prevent his personality from being even worse than Mr. Darcy. This person is very vengeful and always jealous of people who are better than him.

If you don't believe me, you can ask the noble ladies in the upper class, and there are many girls who were deceived by Mr. Hyde. "

Wickham looked at Elizabeth, who looked a little bit broken, and silently released the final trump card. He was betting that the daughter of the little squire would not know the lady of high society, and he would not be able to truly understand the truth of the facts.

Sometimes the mixture of truth and lies will deepen the credibility of the words, and find someone who can't verify it as a guarantee. This kind of move can sometimes confuse men who are in a puzzle, and it can even deceive innocent people. Miss.

Elizabeth couldn't help but doubt in her heart. Wickham's determined attitude cast a veil on the young man who was like a spring in his memory, and the balance in his heart fluctuated.

Mary took their conversation into her eyes, and Wickham's words stirred no waves in her.
