Mrs. Darcy's daily life

After the lunch break, everyone sat in the garden chatting and drinking coffee, or visited Pemberley Manor, or went for a walk outside.

The afternoon sun was bright and gentle, shining on people warmly.Looking up, the high sky is blue, dotted with dancing white clouds, clear and clean.The entire Pemberley Manor seems to be shrouded in another quiet and peaceful space, isolated from the world.

On the grass, the servants have already brought out a series of tools such as the barbecue grill, and are tidying up. The men hunting will be back soon. Treat enough prey to fit on the grill.

In addition, they have to prepare a series of other foods. Today's workload is undoubtedly much greater for them, but fortunately there are so many people in the village, and some villagers in the village come to help, so they won't be overwhelmed.

Caroline was drinking coffee and chatting with the wives at some small tables in the garden, when Butler Sorel walked over quickly, saluted, and said to Caroline: "Madam, sir, they are coming back soon gone."

Caroline nodded, looked at the ladies who were still chatting, and clapped her hands to attract their attention.After everyone's eyes fell on Caroline, she stood up and said, "Okay, let me tell you some good news, the men are coming back soon." After a pause, Caroline smiled and said, "Well~ , it should be said that the hunters who have returned with full rewards are back."

"Oh really, they're back!"

"Then we have to get out."

"Yes, yes, we're going to meet them."

……

As soon as Caroline finished speaking, everyone immediately fell into a strange calm, and then suddenly, as if the water was evaporating and boiling, they started screaming and shouting loudly, and they calmed down after Caroline spoke again. Follow Caroline and walk outside.

"You order the servant to inform the other guests staying at Pemberley Manor," Caroline did not forget to order Sorel when she walked outside.

"Okay, ma'am." After receiving the order, Sorel turned and left in the opposite direction.

After walking to the previous grassland, Caroline and the others saw men walking towards the mansion in the distance. This time, instead of galloping as before, they trotted back on horseback. The atmosphere was much more relaxed.

Behind them were servants carrying their master's prey, and a group of hounds were playing and running beside them.After seeing the ladies in the distance, some men immediately became excited, their legs clamped their horses, and they ran over at a faster speed.

Mr. Brown was one of the first to arrive. After jumping off the horse, he immediately saluted the ladies. As soon as he straightened up, he was caught by her mother and asked non-stop.

"Oh, my dear, hurry up and tell me what you have gained this time?"

"Yes, brother, tell me, is there any hare I like to eat?" Miss Brown stared closely at her brother with a pair of beautiful big eyes, and asked behind her mother.The other ladies also set their sights on the men who arrived first.

"Oh! Mom, Lena, my grades are not bad this time. I have a few pheasants and rabbits, so don't worry, Lena, there is enough for you to have a good meal today."

"Then you know who hunted the most prey this time."

Hearing what his mother said, Mr. Brown frowned: "I'm not very clear about it. It's hard to know without careful calculation, but I know that Mr. Darcy, Colonel Black and Dad's prey are all good, but if you want If you say who has the most prey, you will embarrass me, and you will only find out when you carefully count."

Little Brown is still talking here, and all the men over there have already arrived, and the servants have sent the prey to the registration. The person who came to register the prey for everyone today is Dr. Allen. He has always been respected in this area, and he is the judge. , it's best.

Many ladies gathered at Dr. Allen's side, waiting for the result of his registration, and the servants in the kitchen stood by and looked forward to it. As soon as the prey was recorded, it was time for them to appear on the stage. up.

Darcy handed the whip to the servant behind him, and walked towards Caroline, followed by his sturdy but ugly pet dog.As soon as the two walked and ran, they arrived in front of Caroline.

Caroline didn't go to Dr. Allen's to join in the fun, but she had already ordered Angel to help her see the results, so she was not in a hurry, and stood here waiting for Darcy.

"How is it?" Caroline looked at Darcy who was walking in front of her and raised her eyebrows, reaching out to help him remove the weeds from his shoulders.

Watching Caroline remove the tiny weeds from his shoulders, Darcy smiled, held her hand and kissed her, before saying, "It's okay."

"Then you are very confident." Seeing Darcy's relaxed and indifferent look, Caroline couldn't help but said, "Then guess which place you can get this time. I just heard Mr. Brown say You still have-" Caroline paused and didn't say anything, lest the man feel uncomfortable: "I said that your prey is very good, and this time the results are very good. Do you want me to accompany you to see it now? Although Angel Already, but if you want to know sooner." Caroline shrugged and looked at Darcy.

"No need", Darcy's expression didn't change at all, he stepped forward to kiss Caroline's forehead and continued indifferently: "Let's go sit and wait."

"Okay then," she put her hand on Darcy's arm, and the two walked towards the tent. Caroline picked some food for Darcy, put it on a dinner plate, and sat at the dining table.

Just before the men came back, I was afraid that they would consume too much energy and be hungry, so the kitchen had already prepared a new round of food, cakes and drinks and put them on the dining table, but after all, there will be dinner later, so compared to noon, now Not much food.

Putting the glass of wine in his hand in front of Caroline and the other in front of himself, Darcy bowed his head and began to eat.The tents were now mostly filled with men from hunting, who, like Darcy, were also eating.

Picking up the wine glass, Darcy took a sip, and his eyes fell on the busiest place - Dr. Allen's place. Darcy couldn't help frowning.

In fact, Darcy is more concerned about this result than anyone else. There is no other reason. It is because of Colonel Black. , but who made Caroline admire that Colonel Black so much.

Caroline held the wine glass in her right hand and supported her chin with her left hand, watching Darcy eat like this.

If this hunting competition is really as Mr. Brown said, then Darcy will definitely win the top three. Now she is really looking forward to Darcy standing on the awards ceremony and waiting for Dr. Allen to present him with a blank expression. The medal scene, must be fun.

"What are you laughing at?" Darcy put down the cutlery and asked Caroline, who was smiling at him.

"It's nothing." Caroline shook her head. At this moment, Angel came over with a smile on her face. No need to guess, Caroline also knew that Darcy's grades must be good.

"Ma'am, sir," Angel bowed first, and said, "Dr. Allen's count of prey just came out, and you seem to be in second place." Angel's tone was full of pride and joy. They Pemberley Manor won this time. No.2.

"Then who is number one?" Darcy asked after being silent for a while.

"Looks like Colonel Black".

Darcy suddenly squeezed the wine glass tightly, with an unhappy expression on his face.

Caroline smiled and said to the happy Angel: "We know, you go down first."

"Okay, ma'am, I'll go and tell Mrs. Reynolds the news. I'm sure they will be very happy to know." Angel saluted and walked away.

Right after Angel left, before Caroline and Darcy could say a word, a servant ran over panting to inform them that all the results had come out, and asked them to get up and go, and Dr. Allen was going to announce the final results.

Caroline and Darcy nodded and stood up, and many men in the tent also stood up and walked in one direction, as if going to a meeting, all gathered towards Dr. Allen in the center.

"Gentlemen and ladies, all the results of the hunting have been counted. I am very happy to have the honor to announce the final results to you," Dr. Allen said with a gentle smile.Although everyone already knows the result, it still needs to go through a formality.

The result was no surprise, Colonel Black was first, Darcy was second, and No.3 was not Mr. Brown, but another gentleman, a gentleman who was visiting Derbyshire from Yorkshire, and this time it happened to be at Pemberley Manor activities, they came to participate.

After the result was announced, the crowd burst into applause and cheers. Mr. Johnson even grabbed his nephew and shouted excitedly, pushing him onto the podium. Dr. Allen nodded with a smile and looked at the the remaining two winners.

Darcy's face was expressionless, without any expression of joy, but everyone took it for granted and made way for him to go to the stage.

Caroline clapped her hands along with the crowd, smiled and pushed Darcy with her head tilted: "Fitzwilliam, it's time for you to go up to receive the award." She really wanted to see Darcy standing on the high platform.

Darcy pursed his lips, and finally lifted his feet and walked to the stage.

Looking at Darcy's back, Caroline frowned slightly. She seemed to think that Darcy was not very happy. Could it be that he was ahead of Colonel Black because he didn't get No.1?

This is quite possible.Caroline thought silently.

After the awards were presented, Darcy walked off the stage silently, his expression was the same as usual, expressionless, and he came to Caroline and said lightly: "I want to go back and have a rest first."

Caroline took the medal in his hand and handed it to the servants, and told them to take these things back into the house and put them away before turning to look at Darcy: "Do you want to take a break? Well, I'll accompany you," she said. He held Darcy's hand and tilted his head and said, "Let's go."

Now there is more than an hour to wait before dinner, and it is not a problem to go back and rest for a while.

Darcy's lips parted slightly, nothing came out, and finally he just nodded and walked into the house with Caroline.

In fact, Darcy now prefers to be alone for a while now. After the ranking came out this time, his self-esteem was severely hit. He thought he was no worse than Colonel Black, and even thought he was much better than him, but the reality is , but he even lost to others in hunting.

In the room, Caroline turned around and hugged Darcy's waist, raised her head and frowned at him and said, "Is it because you didn't get the first place that you are unhappy?"

"No," Darcy denied, looking away.

Looking at the stubborn Darcy, Caroline rolled her eyes: "You must feel uncomfortable because Colonel Black's grades are better than yours."

Darcy glanced at Caroline, but said nothing.

Sure enough.

Showing a bright smile, Caroline stood on tiptoe, kissed Darcy on the lips, and said, "Actually, in the hearts of me and all the residents of Pemberley Manor, you are the number one. Blake is a veteran Soldier, it is normal for him to get the No.1 of this hunting. It's on par, and if you have the practice that Blake did as a soldier, you're better than him. So in my mind, you're the best, Fitzwilliam."

Caroline said in a very affirmative tone, without blushing at all, looking at Darcy's eyes with incomparable sincerity, as if they were real.

"Of course, if you care about what most of the guests are thinking today, rather than me and—"

"Of course I care about what you think in your heart." Before Caroline finished speaking, Darcy interrupted her decisively, then hugged her in his arms, and put her lips against her earlobe: "You just said It's all true, I'm number one in your heart?" Darcy asked softly as he stroked Caroline's forehead with his thumb.

"Ok".

A soft sound of "um", caressed into Darcy's heart like a spring breeze, instantly calming the irritability in his heart, with tenderness and warmth.

Darcy's dark eyes were as deep and charming as the night sky, shining with a gentle luster, his lips were pressed against Caroline's earlobe, and he whispered: "Thank you, dear, and—"

Darcy paused for a moment, and the warm breath instantly sprayed on Caroline's skin, and whispered affectionately:

"I love you"
