"Mrs. Darcy, may I ask you to be my partner for the next dance."

Caroline put down the wine glass she had just picked up from the dining table, looked at the thin and elegant Mr. Carter in front of her, evoked an elegant smile, and was about to speak, but was interrupted by a deep and calm voice.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Carter, but my wife already has a partner."

Mr. Carter withdrew his inviting hand, turned his head slightly to look at Darcy in front of him and smiled comprehensibly: "So it's Mr. Darcy, if that's the case, I won't bother you two, excuse me." After speaking, he turned and left politely.

After Mr. Carter left, Caroline picked up the champagne on the dining table again, took a sip and glanced at Darcy: "If I remember well, I should not have a partner for the next dance."

"But we didn't dance a single dance during the whole ball." Darcy's black eyes looked at Caroline seriously and said: "Now the ball is coming to an end, I think as a couple, we should dance at least once ,do you think so?"

Looking at Darcy in front of him extending his hand to invite, Caroline stared at his face for a while, retracted her gaze and put down the empty wine glass she had just finished drinking, put her hand into Darcy's hand, and walked to the dance floor with him, In the public, she still can't do something to make Darcy wait, after all, she still has to care about her face outside, so she won't let others see the joke.

At this time, Caroline held Darcy's arm and stared at the dance floor and said, "I don't think you are right, Fitzwilliam." Then she turned her eyes to Darcy and continued, "Because we rarely had dances before. dancing, and sometimes not even a dance, so what you just said doesn't hold up."

As soon as the words were finished, the two came to the dance floor to stand still. Darcy looked down at Caroline's eyes and said softly, "It won't happen in the future. I will invite you to dance at every dance in the future."

……

Obviously she didn't mean that.

Slow and comfortable music sounded slowly, the elegant music of the violin and the crisp and melodious voice of the piano were intertwined, weaving a romantic music, which echoed in the whole room.

Along with the music, the graceful figure rotated and danced gracefully. In the flickering orange candlelight, Caroline's blue eyes sparkled, and her beauty was suffocating.

For a moment, Darcy was in a daze. Such a beautiful atmosphere was too intoxicating. He didn't concentrate until Caroline's voice sounded again.

"I think it's better to forget it, it's too boring to dance with you." Seeing Darcy's puzzled look, Caroline smiled a little: "Because every time I say ten words, you don't necessarily answer one. , you say you are not boring?"

Darcy thought that every time she danced with Caroline before, her head was full of black lines when she stabbed him, what do you make him say.

Twitching the corner of his mouth slightly, Darcy compromised: "Well, I will find more topics in the future, so that you won't be bored. What do you like to talk about, can you tell me about it, food?"

Caroline was choked by Darcy's words, and she was speechless immediately. Now she doubted whether the person in front of her was Darcy, and the contrast between the front and the back was too great.

"What happened to Georgiana really affected you so much? Before you went to school, you said you would not let me go, but after you came back, you apologized and bought gifts, and now you are still swallowing your anger. I never knew about Fitzwilliam. Such a good temper."

"Caroline, I am not swallowing my anger. I admit that Georgiana's matter is part of it, but you are also my wife. We are a family. I hope we can get along well." Darcy's voice is sincere and sincere, black and white The streamer in the pupils of the eyes flickered, like an ancient pool, the surface was calm and without ripples, indifferent and deep, but in fact it was cool and nourishing, warm and soft.

At this time the dance music was over, Caroline stood in front of Darcy and was watched by him like this, she felt a little unnatural in her heart, glanced away, nodded dispensably: "You are right, we should get along well", Anyway, now Darcy is invulnerable to water and fire, with a very thick skin, she is like being hit on cotton every time, which is meaningless at all.

Seeing Caroline pretending to be careless despite being awkward, Darcy thought it was funny. Now he had the same idea as Louisa, thinking that Caroline was a bit childish, and reminded him of the afternoon tea scene the day before yesterday, Darcy I couldn't help but let out a deep and joyful laugh from my chest.

"What are you laughing at?" Caroline glanced at Darcy and asked blankly.

"It's nothing." Darcy shook his head, with a smile on his lips, took Caroline's hand and led her out of the dance floor: "Let's go, it's time for us to say goodbye to Earl Riley."

Sitting in the carriage, Caroline and the others drove out of the Earl's Mansion along the traffic flow. It was already late at night. After everyone set foot on different roads, the street suddenly fell into darkness and silence. "The sound of horseshoes resounded on the road.

Caroline looked out the window, the dark night engulfed the whole of London like an abyss, without any light, the clouds blocked the moon and all the stars like a dark curtain, if it wasn't for the light of the candles in the carriage, Caroline would have even Snowflakes dancing in the sky cannot be seen.

"Is it snowing?" Georgiana leaned closer to Caroline and looked out together.

"Well, it's still very big, you can go to make a snowman tomorrow."

"Okay, we'll go together when Caroline arrives."

"No!" Darcy's and Louisa's voices came at the same time, unresolved.

"Okay." Facing such a tough attitude from the two of them, Georgiana could only flatten her mouth and compromise.

Caroline, who hadn't spoken yet, glanced at the equally serious faces of Darcy and Louisa, shrugged her shoulders, and then poked Georgiana's steamed bun face: "Tomorrow, I will ask Karen to find someone to pile it under the window of your room." One will do."

"Well," Georgiana smiled, and put her head on Caroline's shoulders and rubbed her sleepy eyes. It's really late today, and she usually has a rest at this time.

Darcy looked at the two snuggling together, his eyes gradually softened.

The carriage drove quietly all the way back to the mansion, Georgiana had already fallen asleep, Darcy gently carried her back to the room, Caroline and Louisa looked at Erwin who was already asleep before returning to the room to rest .

On the second day, the sky and the earth were covered with snow, and the whole mansion was covered with heavy snow. It was deserted and silent.

When Georgiana woke up, she was surprised to find a white snowman piled under her window, which made her very excited. She opened the door with a "touch" and rushed out of the room, running towards Caroline's bedroom.

"Caroline, did you order someone to build the snowman under my window?" Georgiana threw herself on Caroline's bed excitedly and shouted, startling Caroline who was sleeping soundly.

this brat

Rubbing her messy hair and sitting up, Caroline nodded listlessly: "Well, what I ordered Karen last night has already been piled up? It's so early."

"Yes, I saw it when I got up just now," Georgiana said happily, but then she didn't know what to think, her eyes slowly turned red, and she hugged Caroline's arm and said muffledly: "Thank you, Carlo Lin."

At this time, Caroline was dozing off again and again, not paying attention to Georgiana's expression at all, and lazily hummed: "You're welcome, I'm going to sleep for a while." After finishing speaking, she had already fallen back to sleep with her eyes closed.The laziness developed during this period made Caroline get used to sleeping for nine hours every night before getting up. It was already one o'clock in the morning when she came back yesterday, so she won't get up until ten o'clock today.

"Then I'll sleep with you," said Georgiana, and got into Caroline's bed. In such a cold weather, although there was a fireplace in the room, the two of them were extraordinarily warm and comfortable next to each other. Closing her eyes, Georgiana had a smile on the corner of her mouth, and her breathing became even after a while.

The snow outside the window is still falling, the wind blows the snowflakes dancing, and they are scattered all over the ground. There is a thick layer of snow on the roof and on the trees. The whole world is filled with ice and snow, like a holy place. Clean and pure.Only in the room, the crackling fire was burning, and the two people were sleeping peacefully on the warm big bed next to them.

"What's going on?" Darcy frowned, and asked in a low voice. Just when he heard a loud "slamming" sound of Georgiana's room door, he walked towards this side, only to see the maid alone. Tidying up the house in the room without the Georgianas around.

"Sir, Miss came together and saw the snowman outside the window and ran to the lady's room."The maid put down the quilt she was making, turned to look at Darcy at the door and said.

Darcy nodded, then turned and walked towards Caroline's room. When he opened the door, he saw the sweet scene of the two lying on the bed, with only two heads exposed on the two of them under the soft and thick quilt. And Georgiana's head was almost tilted to Caroline's face, Darcy unconsciously showed an extremely gentle smile, shook his head helplessly, walked out of the bedroom after watching for a while, and closed the door gently.The snowman under Georgiana's window, Darcy naturally knew that the servant went to build it this morning, but he didn't expect Georgiana to be so happy.

Going downstairs, the carriage that Darcy ordered was ready. He was wearing a suit and a black overcoat. He was going out. He made an appointment with Mr. Duran at the racecourse today.

Now the Darcy family has become a One of the UK's major steel suppliers.In addition, the Darcy family also has commercial trade with many surrounding countries.

In the 19th century, Britain's steel industry was always leading the world. It was not until the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century that it was overtaken by Germany and the United States.Therefore, in the past 100 years, the British steel industry has experienced the fastest development. It is not difficult to believe that Darcy's ability can make the family industry go further.
