Mrs. Darcy's daily life

The dark night sky is full of stars, as if covered with a layer of black mist. Occasionally, the brilliance flickers, but it is not bright. Except for the lights in the mansion, and the slight voices in it, the garden outside is silent. At this time, all the guests have already left. Leaving Darcy's mansion.

Darcy just walked into the house from the outside at this time, and just after he sent Mr. Duran out, the two had a chat, so they came back a bit late.

"Cohen, where is Madam?" Darcy stood in the middle of the hall and asked the servant beside him.

Cohen was clearing the table when he heard the voice raised his head and quickly replied: "Sir, madam has gone back to the room—"

"Darcy," Charles interrupted the servant, and walked quickly towards Darcy: "Are you asking about Caroline, she has gone back to her room to rest, and we will rest at your place today, You won't mind."

"Are you resting here? Darcy's eyes quickly swept over Jane and Elizabeth behind Charles, then looked at Charles in front of him, and shook his head: "Since you are resting here, I'll ask someone to clean up your room. "

"Oh, no need, I told Caroline a long time ago, she has asked someone to prepare a room for us, and now we are going back to the room to rest, do you want to go back to rest?"

"Ok".

"Then let's go together." Without waiting for Darcy to speak, he dragged him to the stairs.

Elizabeth glanced at Darcy in front of her, turned her head and gave Jane a consoling smile, and followed behind the two men, holding Jane's hand.

"Will the Hurst family spend Christmas with you this year?" Charles asked Darcy next to him as he walked.

"Well," Darcy said calmly, looking straight ahead, and stopped talking after finishing speaking.Charles didn't care, and continued: "It's a pity that we can't spend it with you this year. We have made an appointment with Uncle Gardner and his family to spend Christmas together this year. There are several children in their family, and it will be very lively at that time." , it would be even more perfect if we could all spend Christmas together.”

As soon as Charles finished speaking, Darcy's voice sounded.

"My room is over there, let's go first." After speaking, Darcy nodded to the two ladies behind him and then walked to the right.He didn't look at Charles at all.

Looking at the back of Darcy going away, Charles turned his head and showed a gentle smile to Jane and Elizabeth behind him and said, "Let's go, since Darcy has arrived, let's go back to the room as soon as possible. Our room is on the left. side walk".

"Charles," Jane called, before Charles turned his head again, "Is it all right if I want to have a room with Lizzie tonight?"

"Oh, of course, you two sisters have something to whisper tonight. There are many excellent gentlemen who invited Elizabeth to dance at the ball today. You can discuss it," Charles said to Jane with a teasing smile.

While Jane and Charles were talking, Elizabeth turned her head to look to the right. At this time, Darcy just walked to the door of the bedroom, opened the door and walked in directly. There was no pause in the whole process.

Elizabeth lowered her eyes in disappointment, turned her head and followed Jane to the room.

next day

Elizabeth walked into the study room. Although the collection of books here is not as good as that of Pemberley Manor, there are still many books. There are stacks of books neatly arranged on the bookshelves on all sides. There are too many books of various types for anyone to use. number.

But Elizabeth was not in the mood to look at all these, her eyes were fixed on the tall and straight figure in front of the bookshelf.

Hearing the noise, Darcy turned around and looked at the door. Seeing Elizabeth, he was slightly startled, and then politely greeted: "Good morning, Miss Bennet."

"Good morning, Mr. Darcy," Elizabeth said with a smile, "Are you looking for books too?"

"Yes, Miss Bennett, although there are not many books here, there are all kinds of books. If you like to read any book, you can take it at will. Now that I have found the book I am looking for, I will not bother you. Miss Bennet." After saying that, Darcy walked away with the book in his hand.

"Mr Darcy".

"Is there anything else, Miss Bennett?" Darcy stopped to look at Elizabeth and said, his black eyes were calm, and he just stared at Elizabeth lightly.

Elizabeth bit her lower lip, looked at Darcy for a long time before saying, "Can you really bear this kind of life, living with Caroline?"

These words made Darcy frowned slightly, raised his eyes and said solemnly: "Miss Bennet, there is nothing to endure or not to bear. Caroline is my wife now and will be in the future." It was as if the Hong Zhong hit Elizabeth's heart, and she was hit hard.

"But you don't love her at all!"

Looking at Elizabeth who was screaming in pain, Darcy lowered his eyes, and his long black eyelashes cast a shadow under his eyelids. At this moment, Darcy knew that she hadn't let go. He didn't want her to go on like this, even if it was impossible between them, But Darcy hopes that Elizabeth can also have a happy life in the future, instead of living in the pain of the past forever.

In order to cut off the thoughts in Elizabeth's heart, Darcy looked up into Elizabeth's eyes and said lightly: "Then Miss Bennet can accept being my lover?"

"What!" Elizabeth stared at Darcy with wide-eyed eyes in disbelief, as if it was such a heinous statement, but in her heart, it was indeed a heinous crime.

"There is no possibility of a divorce between Caroline and me, so Miss Bennet and I can only be in another relationship—lover, is Miss Bennet willing to accept it?"

"No", Elizabeth shook her head with a pale face: "No, I can't accept it", Elizabeth's whole body was hit hard, her eyes were full of pain and shock, she turned around and staggered out of the study, as if drunk It's as if you want to fall over after drinking, and you are in a mess.

Looking at the back of Elizabeth leaving, Darcy just sighed faintly, put the book in his hand back on the shelf, and then flipped through other books.

Elizabeth was proud, and Darcy knew this all along, so he said these words this time, because these words were more useful than all comforts.

Elizabeth rushed back to the room in a daze, and threw herself on the bed to vent out all the suppressed pain in her heart. Tears gushed out like a flood that opened the gate.

'Lover, lover, lover...', these two words circulated endlessly in Elizabeth's mind, like a sharp knife piercing all the expectations in her heart, mercilessly, cruel and cold.

The reality is so bloody torn apart in front of her, how cruel!It turns out that there is no possibility between her and Darcy at all.

It is impossible for Darcy and Caroline to divorce, because divorce is difficult to accept in everyone's minds, just like her parents, even if they get along so indifferently, they never have the outrageous idea of ​​divorce.

She has always known this, she has been avoiding it all the time, she just doesn't want to think about it, like a terminally ill person, knowing that she can't be cured, but she always has a little luck in her heart, hoping that she can escape this Kalpa, until the last moment of death had to accept this sad reality.

What self-deception!

Elizabeth desperately thought about what she had been expecting all this time! ?When did she become so ridiculous.

To be a lover is as rebellious and shameless as Lydia's elopement in Elizabeth's heart. Even if she never gets married for the rest of her life, she is unwilling to be someone else's lover.She has her own pride and self-esteem, as well as her own self-confidence. She is smart and strong, and she also has a shrewdness and character that many people don't have. All these make her proud of herself. How can she tolerate herself becoming like that? What about shameless people?She also felt that she could not bear to embarrass her father and ruin the reputation of the Bennett family.

Caroline was totally unaware of what happened between Elizabeth and Darcy. At this time, she was standing in the servants' lounge on the first floor. There were many servants and servants standing in front of her. Mrs. Romero and Butler Karen were standing there. her side.

This servant's lounge is very large and can accommodate dozens of people. There are several small transparent windows on both sides, and the sunlight shines in from here. The clean interior is bright and refreshing.Surrounded by two soft couch beds, Cheng Brown, which can seat seven or eight people on one side, there is also a small table in the room, with a few wooden chairs neatly placed, and a wooden desk in the adjacent corner The piano, with black and white keys, is in good condition. Apart from that, there is nothing else. The layout is simple and not as gorgeous and exquisite as other places in the mansion, but it is also generous and decent.

Facing the orderly and cautious servants standing in front of her, Caroline showed a gentle smile; "I came to see you today about Christmas," Caroline paused at this point, holding her hand He took a few sheets of paper in the bag to the two male and female housekeepers next to him.

"What I want to do for Christmas this year...well, to be more festive, the drawings in the hands of Mrs. Romero and Butler Karen are what I need everyone to help me do.

There are some patterns on it, which are very simple. I need you to make them all, part of which is paper-cutting, embroidery, ribbons, part of which is hand-crafted carving, and of course there are corresponding colors. Everyone will follow what I wrote in detail. Do it, I will prepare the materials for you, you choose what you can do, and I will give you a penny for every small object you make." Looking around at the people in front of him: "However, you can't delay the usual work. Works fine, got it? "

"Yes, ma'am," everyone said in unison, causing Caroline to nod in satisfaction, and turned to Butler Karen: "At that time, you will order some people to chop off the tops of the evergreen trees outside. It’s already written on paper, you just need to click here.”

"Understood, ma'am, I'll have it sorted out."

"Then I'll go out first, you can do your own work." After speaking, Caroline left the lounge.

All she asks her servants to do is to hang some small objects on the tree. It is not difficult, such as snowflakes, ribbons, treetop stars, bells, etc., but it is precisely because the quantity required is so large that she will find it. They believe that these servants can make a lot for her before Christmas comes.
