Mrs. Darcy's daily life

"Mrs. Reynolds, are you ready?" Caroline was wearing a light milky white cotton dress with lace around the waist, and the skirt drooped with faint folds, perfectly showing Caroline's With a tall and slender figure, a pair of soft shoes under her feet, only occasionally revealing a corner with the sweep of the skirt, comfortable and light when stepping on the ground.

"It's ready. The food and tableware have been put on the carriage, young lady."

"Well, I'm sorry to trouble you, where is Fitzwilliam?" Caroline looked around the hall, and there was no one there, let alone Darcy. .She had written and sent out the invitation letter for this picnic yesterday, so this person wouldn't let her dove temporarily.

"Master Darcy is outside, just going out."

Caroline showed a faint smile and said, "Well, since I'm outside, I'll go out first."

Walking outside the door, Caroline saw Darcy standing in front of a tall and strong black thoroughbred horse, and the servant beside him was checking the horseshoe and saddle.If Caroline's guess is correct, this horse is the thoroughbred horse she saw at the racecourse last time. It is black and translucent, without a trace of stray hair. It turned out to be Darcy's mount.

Looking away, Caroline looked at the carriage in front of her, and sighed, don't even think about riding a horse, she doesn't want to become a disabled person, and the experience of falling from a horse last time still made her feel a little lingering.

Watching Caroline board the carriage, Darcy also got on the horse and rode in front of the carriage. This time, they had a picnic in a natural garden not far from Pemberley Manor, where there are four seasons There are flowers everywhere, and the scenery is so beautiful that there is a mountain forest and a meandering river next to it, where you can fish and hunt.So this time Caroline even got her fishing rod and Darcy's hunting gun ready.

The morning sun shines on the earth, shining brighter on the large fields of wheat in Pemberley Manor. There are sparse trees standing beside a wide road in the middle of the wheat field, separating the farmland from the road. At this time, Caroline’s carriage passed through a After the grove, he drove on this road.

I staggered all the way to the destination in a carriage, and the others had already arrived. They were sitting on the grass chatting and laughing. There was a sea of ​​flowers at the foot of the hill next to it. The rich fragrance of wild lilies lingered in the air, which made people feel refreshed. pleasure.

"Mr. and Mrs. Darcy are here," Miss Brown jumped up and shouted happily.

Seeing Miss Brown's excited expression, Caroline suspected that she was coveting the food she brought. Last time at Pemberley Manor, she knew how much this lady loved food.

"You guys arrived so early, I thought we were the first to arrive," Caroline approached with a smile while holding Darcy's hand.

"Oh! I want to have a picnic with Mrs. Darcy. Of course we have to come early. You know how much I look forward to this picnic when I received your invitation yesterday." Mr. Johnson stood up with his big belly and smiled. Said, the eyes on the face almost narrowed into a slit, and he saluted them in a gentlemanly way.

Everyone also stood up and saluted. After Caroline and Darcy politely returned the salute, they sat down on the lawn with a smile.

As soon as he sat down, Mr. Johnson said loudly: "Mr. Darcy, it's still early, and it's not time to eat. Why don't we go hunting in the forest behind? The prey in this season is very fat now, and I believe we can catch a lot of them." tasty."

"Hunting? I'm going too. Yesterday I asked the servant to prepare the gun for me." Mr. Brown said excitedly.

"In that case, then I have to stay and protect the ladies," Colonel Black shrugged and said with a smile.

There were four men and five women at the picnic today. In addition to Caroline and Darcy, they were Mrs. Brown and her two children, Mrs. Smith and her daughter, and Mr. Johnson and his nephew, Colonel Black.

After the three men rode steeds and took some servants to the forest to hunt, Caroline smiled and suggested: "Why don't we go fishing, today I prepared a few fishing rods that are suitable for the stream ahead fishing."

"Fishing, okay!" Miss Brown stood up eagerly and said.

Miss Smith glanced at her suspiciously and asked, "Lena, can you fish?"

Miss Brown immediately fell down and shook her head: "No."

"It's okay, I won't either. I'm going to trouble Colonel Black, the only man present at this time." Caroline turned to look at Colonel Black: "Is that right? Colonel Black."

"Yes, it is my honor to teach the ladies to fish," Colonel Black pursed his lips and smiled.

After Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Brown refused to go fishing, Caroline came to the stream with Colonel Black and the two ladies.After Colonel Black told them some basic fishing knowledge, Caroline sat on the smooth and clean boulder and waited for the fish to take the bait after putting the bait on the hook.

The most important thing about fishing is patience.

Ten minutes later, Caroline silently found a seat farther away and sat down. Two hours later, looking at the three fish in her bucket, Caroline praised her wit.

Suddenly the line moved slightly, and Caroline held her breath and waited for the fish to take the bait.

"Judy, it's been two hours. Why haven't we caught any fish? I've seen Mrs. Darcy catch three." At this point, Miss Brown suddenly turned her head and looked at Caroline in the distance and said loudly: "Mrs. Darcy, how did you catch any fish, and why can't we catch any?"

Caroline stared at the fishing line with black lines all over her head, she was about to take the bait, but Miss Brown's loud howl made her lose everything.

This brat, she came to harm her even though she was so far away, Caroline said with a headache: "Miss Brown, you need to calm down to fish."

"Yes, Miss Brown, Mrs. Darcy is right, you should calm down to catch fish," Colonel Black also reminded.

"Oh", Miss Brown nodded understandingly, but suddenly asked when she saw the little friend beside her: "What about Judy? Obviously Judy has been fishing quietly, why didn't she catch anything?"

Because she is too close to you, Caroline rolled her eyes and complained silently.The two girls have very different personalities, and I don't know how they became close friends. Could it be that their personalities complement each other?

"Maybe I don't have the talent for fishing," Miss Smith said with a sigh of disappointment.

Caroline and Colonel Brown couldn't say anything about it. It's impossible to really say that it's because Miss Brown is too noisy, so you can't catch fish.

Caroline looked at the fishing rod in her hand, and she couldn't catch any fish for a while, and it was about the same time now.Taking back the fishing rod, Caroline stood up and said, "I think it's time for the hunting men to come back. Let's go too."

"Okay, okay, let's go back, it's time to eat now", as soon as Caroline finished speaking, Miss Brown jumped up and shouted happily, and at the same time pulled her good partner: "Judy, don't Fished, Mrs. Darcy said you can go back to dinner."

When did she say this? You obviously said it yourself. Caroline was speechless. This girl's thoughts jumped really fast. She said that she could go back, and she jumped straight to the point where she could go back to eat.Caroline shook her head, ordered the servants to pack up the fishing rod and the fish she had caught, then chatted with Colonel Black and walked slowly behind the two girls to the picnic spot.

As soon as he came back, Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Brown greeted him.

"Oh, you're finally back. It's been so long, you must have lost a lot of fish." Mrs. Brown shouted, "Why don't we both guess? What do you say, Mrs. Smith?"

Mrs. Smith nodded, obviously very interested in this game: "Then let me guess Mrs. Darcy's harvest."

"If the two wives are interested, you can guess," Caroline said, sitting on the laid cushion and nodding lightly.

After they all sat down, Mrs. Smith looked at Caroline and said, "I guess Mrs. Darcy caught five, right?"

Caroline smiled and shook her head: "Not so many, Mrs. Smith, you guessed wrong. Unfortunately, I only caught three."

"Three? That's pretty good too. You have achieved such an achievement for the first time, which is enough to show your fishing talent."

"Okay, now it's time for me to guess. I won't guess the man. I must have caught a lot. I'd better guess Judy and Tina." Mrs. Brown said excitedly: "Mrs. Darcy alone If you can catch three, then the two of you should add up to at least three, right?"

Miss Brown was embarrassed to tell her mother that neither of them had any fish, so she lowered her head and silently pulled the grass in her hands to avoid it.

Miss Smith shook her head.

"No? That's four?"

Miss Smith blushed. They didn't catch any of them. Where did they get four.

Colonel Black wanted to ease the embarrassment of the two ladies: "Mrs. Brown, in fact, the two ladies—"

"Don't say it, let me guess again, Colonel Black, I will guess right this time," Mrs. Brown yelled happily, interrupting Colonel Black: "It's not three or four, I didn't expect you two to be very powerful If you can get a good result in fishing for the first time, it must be the same as Mrs. Darcy with three fish for one person, a total of six fish."

Miss Brown blushed and raised her head and stared at her eyes and said, "Mom! Don't guess, we didn't catch any." Then she lowered her head and stopped looking at her mother.What a shame.

Didn't catch any?Mrs. Brown smiled awkwardly: "Ah, so I didn't catch any of them, so I just said, how can you two be so good, haha." After finishing speaking, Mrs. Brown secretly glared at her daughter and muttered: " Why didn't you say it earlier, it made me excited in vain."

Caroline almost burst out laughing, this is really a mother-daughter pair.

"Everyone take a break, and when the hunting men come back, we can enjoy today's lunch. Miss Brown, I brought your favorite chocolate and cake today," Caroline eased the embarrassment.

"Really!"

"Well," Caroline nodded: "I don't know what you have brought, why don't we talk about the food we prepared today."

While everyone was talking about today's food, the hunting men finally came back, and Caroline ordered the servants to take out the food and tableware from the carriage.
