[Pride and Prejudice] Red and Black Queen

After the two of them finished their last sentence, the carriage returned to calm, although the superficial calm could not cover up the turbulent waves under the sea.

Allen and Claude lowered their heads to read the book again, their calm appearance was just to cover up the "swollen noses and swollen faces" of both sides.

Qiao looked at the two with a smile, as if he was observing some monks' practice worth learning.

The carriage gradually stopped.

The coachman said: "There is someone in front."

The three people in the carriage looked through the window at the same time and saw two carriages.

Although there were two carriages, two handsome gentlemen got out of the same carriage.

Mr. Bingley smiled when he saw Joe, and ran over in two or three steps.

He saluted and said with a smile: "Respected and beautiful Miss Wickham, we meet again."

"I heard that I am really lucky to be able to walk with you for a while this time."

Joe smiled back: "It should be said that I am lucky to be able to walk with two excellent and decent gentlemen all the way."

Mr. Bingley blushed and couldn't help scratching his face.

Mr. Darcy said with a dark face, "Okay, let's not waste any more time, try to start earlier, and we can travel a little longer."

Mr. Bingley nodded, "That's right, but, Mr. Darcy, would you like to watch it a little longer?"

Mr. Darcy suddenly had a bad feeling that, from what he knew of Mr. Bingley, he was about to say something that would choke him again.

Sure enough, Mr. Bingley said with a pure face: "You have been staring at Miss Wickham in the car just now, now you have the opportunity to take a closer look, don't you want to look at it for a while?"

Allen and Claude looked at Darcy with a bad look.

Mr. Darcy stared at Mr. Bingley speechlessly, "What am I...forget it, no need, let's leave quickly."

Mr. Bingley: "Oh, then if you don't read much, I will."

Mr. Bingley grabbed the window without hesitation in his image, smiled and said to Joe: "I have fruits, pastries and black tea over there. Would you like to share some with you? Otherwise, why don't you go directly to our carriage?"

He inspected the environment inside the car, "Well, this carriage doesn't look very comfortable, and it's not suitable for long-distance travel."

Allen couldn't help scolding: "How can Miss Wickham sit alone with you two gentlemen?"

Mr. Bingley wondered: "Is there any difference between us?"

His eyes swept over Alan and Claude, "Aren't you two men? So, Mr. Darcy and Miss Wickham and I will stay alone with you two and Miss Wickham Is there any difference between being together?"

Mr. Bingley looked innocent, as if he was really asking a simple question, rather than deliberately mocking or provoking anything.

Mr. Bingley tilted his head and said with a smile: "Even priests and bishops can marry and have children, so I don't understand why you would ask such a question?"

Allen and Claude had just finished discussing the issue of spirit and flesh, and when Mr. Bingley asked such a question, they naturally panicked subconsciously.

Mr. Darcy frowned, "Mr. Bingley, you are right."

He said solemnly and earnestly: "We should let Miss Wickham sit alone in a carriage."

Mr. Bingley: "..."

Allen: "..."

Claude: "..."

They really have no position to refute Mr. Darcy's proposal.

So, without saying a word, Joe took possession of the huge carriage belonging to Mr. Darcy.

She flipped through the books prepared in the car, with a cup of steaming black tea in her hand, and there were sweet pastries for refreshment beside the black tea.

System: [Good guy, is this the legendary "fisherman's profit"?Master, is this what you planned long ago? 】

Qiao laughed and said, "How is it possible? How could I have expected Mr. Darcy's words and deeds early? It can only be said that there is a tacit understanding."

system:【……】

Guess I believe it or not?

The remaining four men were all crammed into a carriage.

Allen endured and endured, but he couldn't hold back.

He raised his head, glared at the two gentlemen opposite him and said, "I have no objection to letting Miss Wickham ride in a carriage alone, but what I can't figure out is—why do you two noble gentlemen In a carriage with us?"

Although Joe's original carriage was relatively comfortable inside, it was still a carriage suitable for light and simple travel. The space in the carriage was not large, and it was immediately full when squeezed by four big men.

Allen gritted his teeth, and gestured to the empty carriage with his chin, "Why don't you sit in the empty carriage, and insist on crowding with us!"

Claude recovered from his distracted state, and looked at the opposite two suspiciously.

Mr. Darcy's face was serious, but his heart was stunned.

He didn't think too much about it at the time, Mr. Bingley directly pulled him up.

Mr. Darcy turned to Mr. Bingley.

Mr. Bingley smiled, "Ah, isn't the journey boring? Mr. Darcy is not a gossip, so I just want everyone to get together and have fun."

Allen and Claude: "..."

Do the two of us just have a gossiping face?

Claude looked gloomy and looked down at the book again.

Allen crossed his arms and said angrily: "If Mr. Bingley wants to win Miss Wickham's favor, it would be a wrong choice to start with us."

Mr. Bingley rubbed his nose embarrassingly, "I don't really want to do anything, but I can't help but want to get closer. If possible, I can help Miss Wickham."

"After all, Miss Wickham has been fighting alone all this time. I think she needs someone to go with her."

The remaining three present were stunned at the same time.

Each of them was thoughtful, and there was silence in the carriage.

……

The carriage moved forward all the way, because the four men restrained each other, Joe didn't have to say or do anything every day, and he was surrounded by a lot of emotional energy.

Qiao leaned on the seat and said with a smile: "Hey, after a few more days of automatic production of emotional energy, I will forget how to mine energy."

System: [You can take a break for a while. 】

Qiao tilted his head and said with a smile: "Then how can it work? The meaning of life is to struggle."

She lifted the hem of the robe with both hands and two fingers, stretched out her legs lazily, and put them on the seat opposite.

Her crooked movements are exactly the same as George's, and she deserves to be half of each other.

Now that the carriage of Darcy and others is in front, she can't see the inside of her carriage at all, and the driver behind the carriage is blocked, so she can't see the inside of the carriage, so she can completely relax herself.

The system thought and thought, and couldn't help but said: 【Master, is this really a coincidence? 】

[You only noticed the effect of the Shura field in arousing a large amount of emotional energy a few days ago. I don't think you will miss such a useful tool, right? 】

Joe picked up the teacup, pinching the small teacup ear with the other hand.

She held up the black tea like a void, "You have finally become smarter, I respect you."

system:【……】

It knows!

[Mr. North will not let you go on the road alone, he will definitely find Allen who has traveled with you; if the bishop wants to let Claude recognize you, he will promote him to go on the road with you; A letter summoned Mr. Darcy.Was it an accident that Mr. Bingley was the only one among the four? 】

Joe put the tea cup to his lips, took a sip of tea slowly, and said with a smile: "Strictly speaking, Mr. Bingley is not an accident."

"Mr. Darcy has already told me in his letter that Mr. Bingley intends to invite him to live in the countryside temporarily. Mr. Darcy also asked me if I would like to go with him. Of course, he very gentlemanly said that Mr. Bingley's sisters will also go there at that time. I don't feel alone."

System: [Just here?That's how you know Mr. Bingley is coming too? 】

Jo stroked her hair gently, "After all, for Mr. Darcy, he has to choose a reason that won't make me refuse; and Mr. Bingley, who has a lot of affection for me, will definitely not think too much. If you want to go to investigate, you will take the initiative to join in the fun."

System: [It turns out that everything is inseparable from your design, master. 】

Joe smiled softly, "Where is it, I just made some small efforts."

She put down her teacup and picked up a piece of pastry with her fork.

She looked at the snack in her hand and sighed: "It's a pity, taking too many men on the road will easily destroy my character design, and my carriage can only accommodate four men at most."

system:【……】

What's the matter?You want to pack and take away all the men who can generate energy for you?

Joe swallowed the snack, licked the fork, and said slowly: "Lydia and his brothers, I can only wait for George to pack and bring them over for me."

"I have not forgotten that the destination of our journey is Longbourne."

What else can the system say?All I can say is "good guy"!

Joe put down his fork and looked out the window. "Almost the first stop."

After several days of traveling, Joe finally approached Thornfield Manor.

Joe said with full expectation: "Let me see if the protagonist of another story can bring me more energy."

……

Carriage rides from dawn to sunset.

When the afterglow of the setting sun covered the road, the three carriages finally arrived at the gate of Thornfield Manor.

Because it was a temporary investigation without prior notice, Joe could only rely on his own efforts to open the gate of Thornfield Manor.

However, the four men who were traveling with him naturally wouldn't just look at it like that.

Mr. Darcy got out of the car first and had a conversation with the servants in the manor. After the servants entered the manor to make an announcement, they quickly welcomed them in.

Soon Mrs. Fairfax, the housekeeper of the manor, came to greet them.

She was dressed in black, and although her attitude was a little cold, she was respectful and decent.

She patiently asked everyone why they came.

After seeing how they were dressed, she responded more gently and politely.

Joe stepped forward.

Mrs. Fairfax glanced at Jo's bishop's attire.

After all, female bishops are rare.

"Master Bishop, this is..."

Qiao said softly: "I was sent by the king and appointed by the church to investigate the phenomenon of demons haunting all over the country, disturbing my wife and the owner of the manor."

Mrs. Fairfax started. "The Church? The Devil?"

She pressed her chest, looking like she was about to faint.

Joe hurriedly supported her.

Mrs. Fairfax hurriedly said: "I'm sorry, the master is not here, I can't just allow you to search everywhere, the manor is the master's residence..."

Allen frowned: "The owner of the manor is not here? The owner of this manor is..."

Mrs. Fairfax: "The owner of the manor is Mrs. Rochester. However, she likes to travel around and is often away from the manor."

"You mean, as long as she doesn't come back, we can't investigate?" Allen said aggressively.

Mrs. Fairfax was overwhelmed, "Yes..."

At this moment, a servant suddenly ran in and said, "Mrs. Fairfask, the master is back!"
