[Pride and Prejudice] Red and Black Queen

Joe is busy with church affairs and going to seminary.

But George Darcy could receive letters from Joe every few days.

The letters grew more and more enthusiastic, and George Darcy's cheeks flushed and his heart beat.

He couldn't help but boldly reveal the thoughts of young people on the letter paper.

However, these letters from Joe are of course not written by Joe, but written by George Wickham to George Darcy deliberately, copying Joe's handwriting.

The letters between the two became more frequent and bolder, and they even agreed on a date to elope.

George Wickham communicates with Mrs. Young, who has become a housekeeper, and asks her to help facilitate the elopement of George Darcy and Jo.

Mrs. Younger couldn't help persuading: "Instead of letting Joe seduce young master Darcy, you might as well let her seduce Mr. Darcy. As far as I am concerned, Mr. Darcy has never forgotten Miss Wickham, and, Mr. Darcy has inherited all the properties of the Darcy family, so he is much richer than the young master Darcy."

George smiled and said: "You don't know that. If you seduce Mr. Darcy and marry Mr. Darcy, it's just a one-shot deal. Only when Mr. Darcy hangs the carrot of my sister in front of him can he be willing to take it out." More money to come."

Mrs. Young hissed, "I don't know what you are thinking. After you become Mr. Darcy's wife and brother, he will never leave you alone."

Of course George knew, but, in his opinion, the most valuable thing was not money, but emotional energy.

George: "Don't worry, I won't treat you badly, no matter if this thing goes through or not."

Mrs. Young: "Well, the young master also has Mrs. Darcy's dowry in his hand. If you want to cheat out of this money and then cheat Mr. Darcy's money, it's understandable."

System: [So, what bad things did the two Darcy brothers do in their last life to meet you. 】

George smiled: "Then it's settled."

During this period, George borrowed money countless times from the relatives who made irresponsible remarks to Joe when he attended the funeral of old Mr. Wickham. The day before he eloped, he also borrowed a larger sum of money.

Although some relatives suspected that he could not pay at all, but they were all red-eyed by the previous double repayment, so they boldly borrowed more, hoping to make a fortune.

How about you beautiful ones!

George sneered inwardly.

I have been mocking my sister and spreading gossip about my sister in private, can I make it easier for you?

Anyway, I'm an asshole, and no one will be surprised if I do such an asshole. Your mistake is that you are deluded by money, and you actually believe me, an asshole.

Heh, even a bastard has a way to protect the people he cares about.

George happily packed up the money, and went to fool George Darcy again.

George Darcy has made an appointment with Joe, and they will start tomorrow night. The two of them will go to the capital together. There is no Mr. Darcy there, and there are not many people they know. The two of them will live a happy life.

George Darcy paced restlessly up and down the room.

He pinched his fingers and calculated the property in his hands.

He has the dowry left by his mother. Although he cannot inherit the property of Darcy's family, his father gave him some money before he died, and his brother dotes on him and often gives him pocket money. He has nothing to spend, so he Save all this money.

This money is enough to buy a real estate in the capital, and can live comfortably for several years.

Afterwards, he can study law and earn money as a lawyer or a judge.

He can work hard to support his family, and he can also take care of the housework, from cooking to knitting, tailoring... He has learned all these things secretly by himself. Joe only needs to read books and drink afternoon tea every day.

Then their house must have a big garden, and a nice window looking into the garden.

After he tidied up the garden, Joe could sit by the window, drink tea and read a book leisurely while looking at the scenery outside the window.

George Darcy stopped, with an uncontrollable smile on his face.

Such a day is really beautiful!

"咚咚-"

The door was knocked.

George Darcy immediately restrained his expression and opened the door cautiously. Outside the door was Mr. Wickham.

George Darcy breathed a sigh of relief, "So it was you."

Mr. Wickham smiled and said, "Are you ready?"

George Darcy coughed a little embarrassedly, and pointed under the bed, "I only have a small box, and I hide it there."

Mr. Wickham: "Eh? Just a small box?"

George Darcy said embarrassingly: "There are too many boxes and too heavy to go on the road. I don't need to bring anything special. I just need to bring money. If I need anything, I can just buy it."

Mr. Wickham: "Oh, that's fine, but don't you even wear some jewelry? I think you need to bring some. At least it's a surprise for my sister. She doesn't dress up in church all the year round There is no money, and other noble girls laugh at her when they see her, she has beauty, but she doesn't have any jewelry."

George Darcy frowned. "How can they say that? Who said it?"

Mr. Wickham: "Who? It's hard to count."

George Darcy showed a shamed expression, "It's all my fault for not thinking carefully, but fortunately you reminded me."

He went to the table in his room and opened the drawer, which was full of all kinds of jeweled cuff buttons, jeweled bow ties, jeweled brooches, and various gold and silver pocket watches.

George Darcy paused, and showed the drawer to Mr. Wickham.

"Mr. Wickham, thank you for connecting Joe and me. I can't take these things with me. You can take them. You will like them."

George Darcy's eyes were bright and full of hope, and he seemed to have no regrets about giving up these things.

Mr. Wickham: "Then I won't be polite. Don't feel bad about it."

George Darcy smiled shyly, "I won't feel distressed, because I have already got the most precious treasure."

Mr. Wickham raised an eyebrow.

George Darcy lowered his head and said embarrassedly, "That's Miss Wickham."

Mr. Wickham nodded, "You have good eyesight."

Having said that, he unceremoniously took all these treasures away.

George Darcy took another exquisite wooden box from the lower drawer.

He touched the box and said softly, "Here are some jewelry belonging to my mother and my grandmother. I will not let Miss Wickham wrong her because she is with me."

He forwarded the box of jewels to Mr. Wickham.

"Please give these to Miss Wickham."

George Darcy: "Though in my mind Miss Wickham's beauty is unmatched by any jewelry."

Mr. Wickham nodded, "Yes, yes, my sister must like it very much, I really love you."

George Darcy shook his head, "She won't be like this. Miss Wickham is a gentle and reserved person. I think those letters are too bold, and they don't seem to be written by her."

Mr. Wickham: "How could it not be written by her, I took it from her myself."

George Darcy stared at him for a while, then said with a smile, "That's... that's really nice."

His smile was somewhat illusory, as if he was intoxicated in a dream that he didn't want to wake up from.

Mr. Wickham rubbed his hands, "George, as you know, I've been a little tight recently. It takes money to arrange other people for you and my sister, as well as hire a carriage. It's not easy to ask my sister for money, after all, she doesn't have much money..."

Before he finished speaking, George Darcy immediately said, "I will."

"Mr. Wickham, if you have anything to do in the future, especially money matters, just come to me directly, and don't let Miss Wickham bother you."

George Darcy took the box from under the bed, and when he opened it, it was full of money.

Mr. Wickham whistled. "Young Master Darcy is very rich."

George Darcy said embarrassedly: "It's still far behind my brother, but I'm willing to spend all my money on Miss Wickham."

Mr. Wickham unconscionably took the money from George Darcy. "My sister will be very happy to hear that."

George Darcy could not help laughing again.

When Wickham left, he took a handful of emotional energy from him.

George Darcy pushed the box back under the bed again.

At this time, a maid knocked on the door and told him that Mr. Darcy was looking for him.

George Darcy looked puzzled and turned pale for a moment.

He left in a hurry.

Soon, George Wickham pried open the door and took away the money box under George Darcy's bed.

System: [You are really not human, are you willing to treat such a milky puppy? 】

George Wickham said indifferently: "If you want a little wolf dog, don't I just want to be a little dog from outside."

"Anyway, before I leave, I will make the two young masters of the Darcy family hate me to death."

【Then, you want Joe to come over and say goodbye to them, and make them love her to death again? 】

George Wickham: "How many methods have been used by human beings to extract oil, and where am I?"

The system held back.

I always feel that what he said makes sense, but somehow feels that something is not quite right.

George Wickham took the money, and that night, he carried the railway station... oh, the money and jewels and ran away.

When George Darcy returned to his room and saw that there was nothing under the bed, he immediately had a bad premonition.

Although his money was stolen, he couldn't tell others about it.

George Darcy silently found out some of his clothes, cut off the jewel buttons on them, and hid these jewels close to his body, waiting to leave with Joe tomorrow and run towards his own happiness.

However, on the second day, he waited until midnight, and he did not wait for Mr. Wickham, let alone the so-called carriage and Joe who wanted to elope with him.

He wandered alone at the gate of the manor for an unknown how long.

It wasn't until he saw the dawn again that he vaguely realized that he seemed to be cheated.

He was dizzy for a while, and his body fell limply.

He heard someone chanting something.

Then, many people ran up to him, pushed him, patted him, and shook him.

George Darcy could hear nothing.

There was darkness in his mind, as if he had sunk into Joe's black robe, melted into the crow's feathers on her shoulders.

"Joe..."

He struggled to call out this name in a half-dream and half-awake state.

There was a heavy sigh in his ear.

"George, my brother, wake up quickly."

The dream will eventually be broken, and he finally wakes up from the dream.
