After carefully going to bed, Darcy looked at Caroline's back and sighed.Slowly leaning over, his arms passed behind her, wrapped around her waist, put his big hands on Caroline's stomach, and hugged her from behind like this.

Darcy knew that Caroline was not asleep. When he went to bed just now, he watched Caroline move, but she never made any other movements, and she didn't want to drive him out, which made Darcy feel heavy relieved.

"I'm sorry, Caroline", the deep voice sounded in the silent room, and it reached Caroline's ears very clearly.

She didn't fall asleep until she stayed in bed just now, and she actually suffered from insomnia tonight.

Until Darcy went to bed, Caroline actually wanted to kick Darcy out, but for some reason, she didn't.

Kissing Caroline's hair, Darcy continued: "I was just so angry at the time, as soon as I heard you address Colonel Black, I...I couldn't control myself," Darcy said. Tighten your hands: "You have always admired him, what if he also has the same thoughts for you as that Boche Field?"

Caroline was really speechless. She and Colonel Blake had always abided by etiquette in their interactions without any overstepping behavior. I really don't know how Darcy would have such an idea.

Holding Caroline, Darcy frowned: "Caroline, I really don't like your association with Colonel Black. Every time I see you staying with him, I feel very uncomfortable. So I hope You stay away from him."

In the end, Darcy resisted the discomfort in his heart and continued with great difficulty: "Of course, I also know that this is impossible. You will not have no relationship with Colonel Black for no reason. I'm sorry about what happened tonight, Ka Lorraine, I will not interfere with your will in the future, after all, whoever you associate with is your freedom."

God knows how determined he was to say this.

At this time, Darcy's heart felt as if a piece had been hollowed out, and he was extremely uncomfortable. Only by holding Caroline tightly could he feel better.

Caroline rolled her eyes amusedly when she heard Darcy utter the last sentence in a very painful tone, but she did feel much better in her heart.

After closing her eyes, Caroline was going to sleep, and she was not going to talk to Darcy behind her.

Looking at Caroline who didn't respond at all, Darcy sighed, kissed her hair again, said "good night", and closed his eyes. In fact, he was not sure about Caroline. attitude, but now she still hasn't kicked him out, it's a good thing.

The Pemberley Manor at night was extraordinarily quiet, like a monster standing on the ground, extremely huge, baring its teeth and claws in the dark.

A cool breeze blew into the room, and the thin gauze curtain swayed slightly by the window. On the bed, Darcy hugged Caroline quietly, which was extraordinarily quiet in this dark night.

Before falling asleep, Caroline's thoughts were still vaguely thinking that she would also start to soften her heart one day because of a few words from a man.

dreamless night

Darcy woke up early the next morning, but instead of getting up, he continued to sleep on the bed with Caroline in his arms.

When Caroline woke up, the first sentence she heard was Darcy's, "I'll accompany you to Mr. Johnson's house later", this sentence.

Caroline's hair was disheveled, and a few strands of burgundy hair fell on her cheeks.Just like that, she turned her head and glanced at Darcy, with no emotion in her voice: "Didn't you say last night that you didn't want to go, then you can stay at Pemberley Manor, and I can go by myself."

Darcy looked down at Caroline, and after a long time, he pursed his lips and said, "You think it's beautiful." Then he took her into his arms and tied her hair behind her ears.

Although Darcy promised yesterday that he would not interfere with Caroline's communication in the future, it does not mean that he will let it go. Darcy has already decided that he will try to stay by Caroline's side in the future. If he has no time, he will So he was going to wait for Georgiana to come back, give her some good advice, and let her watch carefully, so as not to meet someone like Poche Field again in the future.

And now that Caroline is going to visit Mr. Johnson's house, where there is Colonel Black, Darcy wants to be with her even more.

In the end, the two went to Mr. Johnson's house together, and were warmly welcomed by their family. After eating a delicious venison feast, they did not leave immediately, but they chatted together for a while. Usually participate in the conversation of several people throughout the whole process, especially when Caroline and Colonel Black occasionally communicate.

Sitting in the carriage, Caroline glanced at Darcy and said lightly: "Are you satisfied now?"

"what?"

"Usually, Colonel Black and I are just chatting normally, and there is nothing beyond it. Today you also participated in it. You should be clear, and what you should see is that Colonel Black has nothing more than friendship for me. other emotions."

Darcy nodded with a smile, hugged Caroline on his lap, put his chin on her shoulder and hugged her and said, "That's true, but I still don't like you being alone with him."

Caroline rolled her eyes silently in Darcy's arms, ignoring him.

On the day when the hunting meeting was held, the autumn air was crisp and the temperature was comfortable and pleasant. Several tall tents were set up on a large circle of grass outside the Pemberley Manor Mansion. It was a round oak table and chairs.

The table is covered with white tablecloths, decorated with flowers, and placed on the grass that is about to fade in greenery. The breeze blows through, and it is a leisurely and comfortable place.

The servants shuttled back and forth, holding the silver dinner plate in their right hand and walking towards the dining shelf. At this time, various foods were already placed on it, including sandwiches, salads, seafood, pasta, cheese, etc., and even several Indian dishes.

Caroline was sitting on a chair chatting with other ladies and ladies. Most of the men over there were wearing neat riding clothes.Some stood on the grass chatting with wine glasses, while others sat on the table to eat. Hunting later was the most exhausting. In order not to starve, they had to eat quickly.

In the distance many servants were staying with horses and hounds.They were checking their master's horses to make sure they were safe. They were leading a pair of ferocious hounds beside them, jumping and barking eagerly, looking like they couldn't wait to go to the hunting ground with their masters.

The hunt was about to start, and the ladies and ladies surrounding Caroline dispersed one after another to cheer on their father, husband, and son. A shameful thing to do.

But not everyone thinks that way.

For example, Mr. Johnson, he didn't care about his own hunting results, but kept encouraging his nephew, and said that this time the honor of the Johnson family depends entirely on him, and he can just join in the fun.

Colonel Black put down the tableware, wiped his mouth, and nodded calmly: "Don't worry, uncle, I will try my best, but don't have too much confidence, there are many gentlemen competing for this ranking this time, there are Maybe I won't have very good grades."

As soon as Colonel Black finished speaking, his uncle immediately roared angrily: "Oh! How can that be done? You are a soldier. You must not lose your honor as a soldier. Shooting is your strong point. In short, you You must come back with a good grade.”

Colonel Black looked at his excited uncle and shrugged his shoulders to express his helplessness.

"Oh! Mrs. Darcy, I have to see our master. Lena and I will go first," Mrs. Brown said to Caroline, pulling her daughter.

Caroline nodded with a faint smile, and sent the last two away.Turning her head, Caroline saw Darcy walking towards her through the crowd.

Today Darcy was wearing a light riding suit, and he was neat and handsome.

When Caroline lamented Darcy's beauty in the age of prosperity.

Darcy had already approached Caroline, leaned over and kissed the corner of her mouth, and said, "Wait for me to come back."

"Well," when he bent down, Caroline straightened his neckline, nodded, and said, "Be careful."

Darcy evoked a gentle smile and couldn't help but kissed her forehead again: "Don't worry."

Looking at the back of Darcy leaving the tent, Caroline put on the white gloves in her hand, which Darcy had just handed to her to keep her warm.Although it was still autumn and the weather was very comfortable, it was still cool. Every time he touched Caroline's hand, Darcy felt extra cold.

Over there, on the grass and in the tent, all the men also left one after another. For a moment, this area lost a third of the people in an instant, and it was much quieter.

After receiving the whip from the servant, Darcy got on the horse directly. After sitting on the horse, he looked towards the tent, met Caroline in mid-air, and smiled. With his gloved hand, his smile deepened.

After a long time, Darcy looked away. At this time, all the men had mounted their horses and got ready. Darcy turned his head and said a few words, then raised his whip, and together with the others, drove the horses galloping towards the west woodland.

The woodland on the west side of the Pemberley Manor is extremely vast, extending to the valley of the surrounding mountains, connecting with the woods around the Pemberley Manor, enclosing the entire Pemberley Manor, forming a natural protective cover.

The woodland is well protected, the trees are lush and lush all year round, the environment inside is quiet, and there are many animals and plants growing. It can be said to be a very good hunting environment.

The horse galloped past, dust was flying, and mud and grass were splashing between the horses' hooves.

After all the men had left, all the ladies and some men who hadn't participated in the hunt withdrew their attention. In an instant, the entire meadow became lively again. They all guessed the result of the hunt, and several wives stood up on the spot. Make a bet on who will come out on top.It's hard to hide the excitement between the expressions.

"Oh, Mrs. Darcy, I don't know which gentlemen you think can win the top three in this hunting competition?" Mrs. Brown asked, sitting in front of Caroline immediately after her son and husband left.And her daughter, the petite Miss Brown, had already run to the buffet counter, coveting the Indian delicacies prepared by Pemberley Manor this time.

Looking back, Caroline looked at Brown and smiled lightly: "Then what do you think, Mrs. Brown? You know, I have only been the mistress of Pemberley Manor for more than a year, and I haven't had a complete hunting ability for all gentlemen. cognition."

"Oh, you're right, Mrs. Darcy, it takes a long time to make a clear assessment of all the gentlemen around me. Even I've lived here for decades, and I can't be [-]% sure that I'm right. All gentlemen know the art of hunting."

Speaking of this, Mrs. Brown paused and continued: "But I'm sure that Mr. Darcy is very good at hunting. He has been hunting with the old Mr. Darcy since he was a child. When Mr. Darcy was 18 years old, Our master came to Pemberley Manor to hunt, and he lost to Mr. Darcy at that time. You must know that our master has always been an expert in hunting in this area, but at that time he lost to the young Mr. Darcy. Now so many years have passed , Mr. Darcy's hunting ability is probably even stronger. So Mrs. Darcy, don't worry, Mr. Darcy will definitely win the top three."

"I hope so," Caroline smiled, but she became interested when she heard Mrs. Brown talk about Darcy's youth. She was never interested in it before, so she didn't ask Mrs. Reynolds who knew better. Now Mrs. Brown's curiosity was aroused, so I talked with her a few more words about Darcy's past.

Although Mrs. Brown may not know much about Darcy's past, some neighbors over the years do.

Hearing that Caroline was interested in Darcy's previous affairs at Pemberley Manor, Mrs. Brown also happily said that after searching her guts, she finally even told about the first time she met Darcy when she was only seven years old at the time. Caroline.

Darcy had been placed high hopes by his father since he was a child, so he learned various etiquette and knowledge under the supervision of the old Mr. Darcy at a young age.When Mrs. Brown met the seven-year-old Darcy for the first time, he no longer wanted to play around like ordinary children, but behaved calmly and behaved politely like his father.

"My God, Mrs. Darcy, you really can't imagine a seven-year-old child standing upright in front of you and being polite and thoughtful to anyone. It can be said that Mr. Darcy is the best of all the children I have ever met. The most polite, like a little gentleman."

"Really?" Caroline asked after taking a sip from her glass with interest.

"Of course! Although more than 20 years have passed, I still clearly remember the first time I saw Mr. Darcy," Mrs. Brown assured.

Caroline smiled and nodded, proving to Mrs. Brown that she believed her words. After that, several wives joined their conversation. It was not until the time for lunch break that Caroline got up and ordered the servants to take the ladies to the room rest.

As for the men's hunting competition, it may not end until the afternoon.
