Mrs. Darcy's daily life

Darcy looked away from Georgiana, scanned the dance floor, and landed on Caroline. At this time, she was being invited by other gentlemen to dance. Darcy pursed his lips silently.Over the past few months, he has fully seen how popular Caroline is in the entire social circle, so he has rarely danced with Caroline at the ball, because she is either chatting with ladies or accepting gentlemen. Invited to dance, never stopped for a moment.He didn't pay much attention to it before, but now, Darcy only feels a headache. The lady is so popular that he can't even invite him to a dance.

"Mrs. Darcy, how do you feel about today's ball arrangement?" Caroline ran into Earl Riley just as she walked out of the dance floor after a dance.

After receiving a glass of wine from Earl Riley, Caroline pursed her lips and smiled: "I think no matter how I feel about the ball arrangement, Earl, you must be very satisfied with today's ball arrangement?"

"Hahaha~, I know you can't hide it from Mrs. Darcy. How do you know that today's dance was prepared by little Pez?"

"Hmm~", Caroline frowned and thought hard, and when Earl Riley's curiosity reached its peak, she evoked an elegant smile, but her eyes were full of teasing: "That's because Pez You told me, so I will know."

Faced with this answer, Earl Riley couldn't laugh or cry, his face covered with fine lines was full of smiles, and there was a hint of love. Caroline is only 22 years old this year, only two years older than his Pez.At this time, Caroline was like a junior in his eyes. I really don’t know how she and Darcy became husband and wife. The two people’s personalities are too different. He feels like a junior.

"Dad, you can't occupy Caroline anymore, she belongs to our lady now," Pez came over and took Caroline's arm and stared at him righteously, like a proud little girl. tiger.

"Well, it's all dad's fault, little Pez." Earl Riley compromised with a smile on his face, with indescribable love and indulgence in his tone.

"Oh! Don't call me little Pez anymore. I'm 20 years old now, not 10." After saying this angrily, Pez turned around and left with Caroline on his arm.

"Little Pez? That's a good name," Caroline joked with a smile after the two walked away.

"Don't mention it again. I have told my father many times, but he never changes. Do you know how troubled I am? Just call me at home, and now I'm still calling me like that in front of you." Frowning, Pez looked troubled, but her emerald eyes were rippling, as gentle as a river of spring water.

"I think you are enjoying it, and you are not worried at all."

"No way, my father likes me to get along with him like this. He hopes that I will be like a willful little princess in front of him, not a gentle and generous model lady."

"It can be seen that Earl Riley loves you very much."

"Of course!" There was a gentle smile on the corner of Pez's mouth, and pride flashed in her eyes, with a strong but not sharp pride, which added a touch of invisible charm to her whole person.

Earl Riley looked at the backs of the two people away, shook his head amusedly, glanced at him, but saw Darcy who had just walked over.

Darcy stood there, watching Caroline being dragged away by Miss Riley. The back view of the two talking and laughing made his expression a little condensed, and a trace of irritability flashed in his deep-lined eyebrows and eyes.

How many times is this already?Darcy looked at the backs of the two and thought.

"Mr. Darcy."

"Earl Riley", Darcy nodded lightly.

Earl Riley followed Darcy's line of sight and saw Caroline and Pez at a glance. He silently wiped off his precious daughter. His little Pez might have offended Mr. Darcy.

"How was Mr. Darcy's conversation with Mr. Duran today?"

"Fortunately, thanks to your recommendation, we made an appointment to meet at the Hyde Racecourse tomorrow and discuss this matter in detail," Darcy said politely, looking back at Earl Riley.

"Really, I hope the business between Mr. Darcy and Mr. Duran can be completed smoothly. Oh, I think the dance is halfway through now, and it's time to take a break. Why don't we go to the lounge together, Mr. Darcy, believe there It's a lot of fun right now."

"Extremely happy"

Music was still playing leisurely in the ballroom, and the gentle light reflected moving arcs on the smooth porcelain placed in the ball.

"Caroline, where is my brother? No matter how hard I looked around, I didn't see him." Georgiana and the other ladies sat next to Caroline and asked after greeting.At this time, Georgiana had just danced several dances in a row, with thin sweat on her forehead and nose, and flushed cheeks, she looked extraordinarily radiant.

"Just now I saw that your brother seemed to have gone to the lounge with Earl Riley, so he is not here now."

"Must have been dragged by my dad to talk about politics and current events. Guys always like to talk about it, just like we like to talk about clothes and jewellery. Why don't Miss Darcy join us for a chat and a few dances I suppose Tired too."

"Well, thank you Miss Riley for your kindness. Since my brother has his own business, I won't bother him."

"How does Miss Darcy feel about today's dance? Did you have a good time?" At this time, Countess Riley put down her glass and looked at Georgiana who was opposite her and asked gently.

"Very well, Countess Riley, I think today's dance will make me very happy," Georgiana pursed her lips and said with a smile, her bright eyes were filled with sincerity and a hint of shyness.

"Miss Darcy, what can you say makes me very happy. This ball was prepared by Pez, but I'm afraid your words will make her complacent again, don't you think, Mrs. Darcy?"

Caroline shrugged her shoulders in agreement, and looked at Pez helplessly, causing Pez to yell in protest: "Oh! Mom, you and Caroline are too bad, always making fun of me, and what's wrong with this? Complacent, don't you think I can't make me happy for myself by preparing for this successful dance?" As soon as he finished speaking, several people around him smiled kindly, and even Georgiana couldn't help but cover her mouth with a fan in her hand and snicker .

"What are you looking at, Lizzie?" Jane sat next to Elizabeth and followed her gaze. She saw Caroline and the others talking and laughing, and turned her head to look at Elizabeth who was depressed. Jane was worried Said: "Lizzie, I thought you would let it go after talking with Darcy last time, don't you—"

At this moment, the two of them were sitting in a corner under a window, where few people passed by in a remote place, so Elizabeth no longer forced a smile on her face, and lowered her smart eyes with a wry smile: "I know I should put Mr. Darcy down, but When I thought of how he had worked so hard for me and even spent a lot of money just to restore the reputation of the Bennet family, I couldn't let it go. You must know that Wickham is the last person Mr. Darcy wants to see in this life. But because of me..." Elizabeth bowed her head and remained silent for a long time before she murmured, "I don't know if I can meet a gentleman like Mr. Darcy who has paid for me again in this life."

Jane held Elizabeth's hand to comfort her, yes, Lizzie, you are so good, you will definitely meet a gentleman like Darcy again.But when the words came to her lips, she couldn’t open her mouth anyway, because it was too difficult to do this. Jane was really not a person who would talk big, because the reality was often too cruel. Back then, Lydia’s elopement was an extremely serious matter. It is a big scandal, and I believe that any decent gentleman would not be willing to marry such a family. If Darcy's help hadn't saved everything, Jane couldn't guarantee whether Charles would propose to her.

"Today I saw Mr. Darcy's cold expression towards me. I am really sad. Jane, I can't control myself." At this point, tears accumulated in Elizabeth's eyes. She really regretted it. She lowered her head and cried Drop by drop onto the back of the hand.

"Oh! Lizzie", Jane felt a deep distress in her heart. She rarely saw Elizabeth so vulnerable, and took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears.

Elizabeth took the handkerchief in Jane's hand and wiped her tears. She secretly warned herself not to be so disrespectful. This is a ball, and she didn't want her fragility to be discovered by the people at the ball, especially when most of the people here still She made friends with Caroline. During the dance, several men had already mentioned Caroline to her. Just because they were related to Charles and Jane, she instinctively rejected and disliked her.

After 1 minute, Elizabeth raised her head, and the first thing she saw was Jane's worry and distress. Elizabeth tried her best to smile: "Jane, you don't have to worry about me, just cry. I'm just a little out of control. much better."

Seeing Elizabeth's smile, although Jane was slightly relieved, she was still full of worries, and Jane tried her best to show a smile and gently comforted her: "Lizzie, you have always been the smartest one in our family, you are both humorous and cunning. , naughty and gentle, even when you satirize and judge someone you don't like, your language is so lively and interesting, so that the other party will like you because of your cleverness and playfulness. You are so good, and you will definitely meet someone who loves you again Gentleman, and sooner or later you'll let go of Mr Darcy, too, because the beginning of another love affair will get you over the past, Lizzie."

Jane's gentle persuasion made Elizabeth feel guilty. She couldn't bear to let her down, and she didn't want to watch her worry any more. Swallowing the pain in her heart, Elizabeth showed a bright smile, her smart eyes glowed with confidence, nodded and said: "Jane , you are right, I will meet a gentleman who loves me, although I don't know where he is now, maybe he is looking for me profusely, but as you said, as long as I start Another love, and sooner or later I'll forget Mr Darcy."

"Forget Mr. Darcy", Elizabeth felt a pain in her heart when she said these words. She didn't want to forget, and she didn't want to forget, because she couldn't bear it.

Elizabeth's radiant look made Jane completely relieved. Maybe Elizabeth still has Darcy in her heart, but her current attitude also shows that it will be a matter of time before she lets go of her relationship with Darcy. Jane has great feelings for Elizabeth. With confidence, she believed that Elizabeth would definitely come out.

The two looked at each other and smiled, temporarily suppressing this in their hearts.
