[Pride and Prejudice] Red and Black Queen

Joe came to Hertfordshire with Mr. Darcy and Mr. Bingley in a carriage engraved with the Darcy family crest.

Before the carriage arrived at the Sourfield Manor that Mr. Bingley had rented in advance, Mr. Darcy asked the driver to stop the carriage and asked Mr. Bingley to change seats with him in Mr. Bingley's carriage.

Mr. Bingley opened his blue eyes and looked at Miss Wickham reluctantly, "Why is this? Do you want Miss Wickham to stay alone in the carriage?"

Mr. Darcy glared at him. "Come down quickly."

He pressed his hands on the table, as if he would not move an inch until Mr. Darcy gave him an answer.

Mr. Darcy said helplessly: "Did you forget who you came to the country with for vacation?"

Mr. Bingley blinked his eyes and suddenly realized, "Ah, yes, yes, my sister is still waiting for me at Sourfield Manor."

"While they are with you, it is difficult to see Miss Wickham in the same carriage with us."

"especially……"

Mr. Darcy glanced at the surrounding countryside, and sighed: "This kind of place can't keep secrets at all. As soon as we appear on the front foot, the topic about us can be on the dining table of every household."

He glanced at Joe and said softly: "Just for a while, you just need to stay alone for a while, I don't want these boring people's gossip to bother you."

Mr. Bingley suddenly realized, "I am so stupid that I didn't think of this!"

He looked at Mr. Darcy, then at Jo, and couldn't help laughing: "I'm not as careful as you are with Miss Wickham."

Mr. Darcy looked at him reproachfully.

Mr. Bingley showed an expression of "I understand, I understand", turned his head to Joe and said, "Mr. Darcy is right, I thought too little, and almost put Miss Wickham into a crisis."

Joe shook his head, "I don't care about that."

Mr. Bingley smiled sheepishly.

"But I'm very happy." Qiao smiled at Darcy with melting eyes.

Mr. Darcy lowered his eyes slightly, and couldn't help but smile on his serious face.

"Don't worry, I won't be lonely, because even if I can't see the gentlemen, I know you are by my side."

Mr. Bingley couldn't help laughing, "Strong and brave Miss Wickham, wait a moment, and you will see my newly rented house. Although it is remote, the environment is indeed excellent."

Looking at the surrounding scenery and smelling the rainy air, Joe smiled and said, "It's really good."

"Well, it's getting late, let's start early." After Mr. Darcy said that, he closed the car door for Joe first, and pulled Mr. Bingley away.

Looking at Mr. Darcy's back, the system couldn't help but said: [It takes you more in mind to be able to be so considerate. 】

Joe smiled, propped his cheek with one hand and said, "Yeah, it still exudes delicious energy."

system:【……】

After changing carriages, the two carriages set off again.

As Mr. Darcy expected, as soon as the two luxurious carriages drove into this place, all kinds of rumors scattered like snowflakes.

Mr. Bingley's sisters had been waiting for some time when the carriage arrived at Thurfield Hall.

Through the window of the carriage, Joe could see the two ladies looking curiously into the carriage with the coat of arms of Darcy's family. When she saw a woman wearing a bishop's clothes sitting inside, she immediately showed a clear expression, and turned her head to Mr. Bingley. waiting before the carriage.

But Mr. Bingley's brother-in-law, Mr. Hurst, stood still.

As soon as Joe was about to get out of the carriage, he saw Mr. Darcy who was sitting in the carriage behind briefly saluted the two ladies, then strode to the carriage, opened the door for Joe, and blocked Mr. Hurst line of sight.

Mr. Hurst just woke up, coughed a little embarrassedly, and deliberately turned his eyes away.

Mr. Darcy bent down slightly, and stretched out his hand to Joe, "Miss Wickham, I will help you out of the car."

He is respectful and considerate to the extreme.

Joe smiled lowly and put his hand on his palm.

Xu Shi hadn't been so close to her for a long time. The moment his skin touched her, his hand trembled subconsciously.

Joe looked up at him.

He didn't dare to look back.

His fingertips slowly closed, he held her hand vaguely, and helped her get off the carriage.

In a short period of time, his palms were covered with sweat.

"This is Miss Wickham, right? I often hear Charles talk about you." Mrs. Bingley's sister, Mrs. Hurst, held her husband's arm and looked at Joe with a half-smile.

"It's the Bishop of Wickham," said Mr. Darcy.

"Bishop Wickham is the special bishop appointed by His Majesty the King and the church, and she also shoulders important responsibilities."

Mrs. Hurst's attitude suddenly became serious.

After stepping down the last step, Jo pressed Darcy's palm inadvertently, then withdrew her hand, looked at Mrs. Hurst and Miss Bingley with a smile.

When her face was fully exposed in the sky, it was hard to look directly at her.

Mrs. Hurst and Miss Bingley showed complicated expressions at the same time.

Mr. Bingley said cheerfully, "What are we doing standing outside? Come in quickly."

"Haha, you've been staring at Bishop Wickham, don't you think Bishop Wickham's beauty is an honor bestowed by God? When you see her, you want to confess your sins to her."

Mrs. Hurst and Miss Bingley looked at their brother inexplicably.

Mr. Bingley smiled more happily, "I knew it, you think the same as I do."

"..."

Who thinks the same as you!

After being interrupted by Mr. Bingley, the two ladies could not say anything more.

When they returned to the manor, Miss Bingley squeezed her lace gloves and endured it. She couldn't help but said, "Bishop Wickham, I heard that you are an ascetic monk. You once swore not to marry?"

Jo looked at her gently, "Well, I'm going to dedicate my life to God."

Miss Bingley breathed a sigh of relief, "You are indeed a pious bishop."

Mr. Bingley couldn't help but promote for Joe, "Bishop Wickham not only has a pious faith, but she also has a miracle."

Mr. Hurst, Mrs. Hurst, and Miss Bingley looked surprised at the same time.

Mr. Hurst asked with interest: "I don't know what is the miracle?"

Without waiting for Joe to speak, Mr. Bingley told the story of how Joe willed the patient to fight the devil for [-] rounds.

Although Mr. Bingley always makes people speechless and helpless most of the time, his eloquence in telling stories is not bad, and he immediately attracted the attention of the three of them.

Mr. Darcy sat silently, turned sideways, looked in Bingley's direction, and seemed to be listening to him carefully, but if you look carefully, you will find that his gaze is not on Mr. Bingley, but on Mr. Bingley on the wall behind him.

A mirror was hanging on that wall, and Joe's face was reflected in the mirror.

Qiao lowered his eyes and smiled, gentle and reserved.

Mr. Darcy looked at it like this, as if no matter how long he looked at it, he would never get tired of it.

When Mr. Bingley was telling what he had seen and heard along the way, a servant suddenly came and interrupted him.

Mr. Bingley asked with a smile: "What's the matter? Maybe someone will visit us as soon as we come back?"

The servant said respectfully, "Yes, Mr. Bennett is here to visit you."
