Mrs. Darcy's daily life

When the two came downstairs, Charles and Jane had already sat in the living room. Seeing Charles' sluggish look, Darcy asked, "Charles, are you okay?"

Charles tried to pull a smile, but couldn't do it at all, he could only shake his head, and Jane held his hand tightly to comfort him.He turned his head and gave Jane a reassuring look, then held her hand firmly with his backhand, indicating that he was fine.

Looking up Charles looked at Caroline, and he suddenly remembered that as an older brother, he should cheer up, because there are people who need his comfort more.

Standing up, Charles came to Caroline, with blond hair drooping, looking at Caroline sadly, and asked in a low voice, "Caroline, are you okay?" Finally, he hugged Caroline into his arms, and kept patting her back with his left hand to comfort her: "If you feel uncomfortable, you can tell your brother, although my aunt is gone, you still have me", Charles said uncomfortablely, talking about his own eyes Instead, she turned red, her voice choked up, and she hugged Caroline tightly, seeking comfort.

Caroline was hugged by Charles with a blank expression, and listening to his choked up words, she was really full of bad things about this seemingly weird brother.In the end, Darcy pushed Charles away, blocked Caroline with a black face and said, "Charles, the pastor and neighbors will be arriving later, you'd better take care of yourself first, and don't be rude later."

Jane walked up to Charles, and handed the handkerchief worriedly. Charles' eyes were red, he took the handkerchief and said gratefully: "Thank you, dear." After speaking, he turned his head and looked at Darcy: "What did you say Yes, my aunt's funeral is about to start later, I can't be too rude in front of the guests."

At this moment, Louisa and Hester happened to be going downstairs. Seeing Louisa's pale face, Caroline said directly, "Let's go to dinner first. After the funeral is over, Hester, please take care of Louisa and have a good rest." Bar."

Charles also saw Luisa's pale face, and said with concern, "Louisa, are you okay?"

"It's okay, I'm just a little tired after watching my aunt all night." After walking downstairs, Louisa stepped forward to hug Caroline and Charles, and comforted her with a weak smile.

A group of people went to the restaurant to eat, but everyone was in a low mood and didn't use much.After the meal, the pastor also came to the mansion, and then the guests arrived one after another, and after greeting each other, the pastor went upstairs to pray beside the old man's bed.

After everything was done, the crowd set off for the church.

It was snowing heavily outside, and even the vision was a bit blurred. Walking on the road, it didn't take long for everyone's hats and shoulders to be covered with a thin layer of white snow. The cold wind whizzed by, causing everyone to fight fiercely , Even if you cover yourself tightly, you can still feel that kind of bone-chilling chill. The weather this winter is quite harsh.

But everyone didn't say a word, and walked towards the church step by step with serious expressions. No matter how bad the weather was, the funeral must go on as scheduled. This was a respect and mourning for a deceased person.

The funeral was all over at noon, and when everyone returned to the manor, the heating in the room made people feel better.

Darcy took Caroline to a corner, looked at her bloodless lips, felt the cold hands in her palms, and asked anxiously, "How are you, do you want to go back to your room?" Now everyone in the living room is surrounded Sitting on the sofa closest to the fireplace to keep warm, taking up all the warmest seats, Darcy wants Caroline to go back to the room, where the fireplace is always burning, and it is best to let her soak in a hot water Take a bath to get rid of the cold on your body.

"It's okay, it will warm up in a while, and I have to entertain guests later, so I won't go to the room, there is too little time", Caroline smiled comfortingly, seeing Darcy's still disapproving eyes, Caroline glanced to the far The servant who came with hot soup hurriedly stepped forward and took two bowls, handed Darcy a bowl and continued, "Drink a bowl of hot soup, and you will be warm", and Caroline poured out the bowl After drinking the hot soup, her lips instantly became more rosy, and her complexion also improved a lot.

"Look, I'm much better now, I don't need to go back to my room." Caroline said, then looked at the hot soup in Darcy's hand, and beckoned him to drink it quickly.

Darcy sighed helplessly, finally finished the hot soup, took her hand and walked towards the center of the living room.serve customer.

After having lunch together, the weather gradually improved in the afternoon, and the snow became lighter, so all the guests bid farewell and left the manor.

After everyone left and there were a few people left in the manor, everyone sat in the living room to discuss the next plan. At this time, Luisa had rested for a while before getting up to eat, and her complexion was much better. Today's funeral As soon as it was over, at Caroline's request, Hearst accompanied her back to the room to rest.

"Charles, next, what are your plans? Do you want to go back to Netherfield Garden first, or stay here for a while?" Caroline asked.

Charles turned his head and glanced at Jane before saying, "Jane and I are going back to Netherfield Gardens. We have to go back and finish dealing with Hertford, and then move here as soon as possible."

"It's such a cold weather, are you sure you want to hurry back at this time?" Luisa looked at the two worriedly and asked.

"Louisa, don't worry, there is a heater in the carriage, we won't be frozen, and the wind and snow will be too heavy, we can rest in the hotel and continue our journey when the weather is better." Jane said with a gentle smile .

"Oh! Yes, Jane is right, so you don't have to worry, Louisa."

Seeing that the two had already made a decision, Luisa didn't say anything more: "Alright then, be careful on the road."

Although Charles' personality has always been the same as before, easily influenced by the people around him, but fortunately, Jane has changed. After running the house for so long, she has gradually learned to take care of herself.

"What about you?" Caroline said, turning to Louisa and Hester.

"We are going to stay here for a while." Now that Erwin is over two years old, and his grandparents are taking care of him at home, Louisa is not in a hurry to go back now. She wants to spend more time in the manor where her aunt lives. a period of time.

Caroline nodded: "We will stay here for the time being."

This is the result of discussions between Caroline and Darcy. The planned trip to Italy this spring cannot be carried out. Charles and the others are leaving, and Caroline can only stay here for one more month. Many follow-up matters are still up to them. Don't worry about handling it.

--

The weather was fine the next day, so Charles and Jane left here, while Mr. Holt stayed on and dealt with the follow-up matters with Darcy.

"Louisa, why didn't I see Adrian?" At the dining table, Caroline looked around for a week, but she didn't see the old housekeeper who was supposed to be here. She couldn't help asking doubtfully. She hadn't had time for the past two days. Chatted with the old housekeeper alone.

"Adrian is sick. It may be because of attending the funeral yesterday and the weather was too cold," Louisa said with a frown.

"Are you sick? Is it serious?" Caroline frowned when she heard the words. The old butler is getting old, so you can't be careless about getting sick. What's more, their aunt just passed away this time, and the old butler has been with her for so many years. Luisa and the others may be even more serious. I'm really afraid that something will happen if I'm not careful.

"Don't worry, the doctor has already seen it, and there is nothing serious, just rest for a while." Darcy comforted Caroline while holding Caroline's hand.

Caroline nodded: "Then I'll go and see him after dinner."

After eating, Caroline walked through the corridor and came to the servant's quarters on the far left. The largest bedroom on the first floor was the bedroom of the old butler Adrian. Caroline knocked on the door with all her might. After a while, a voice came from inside: "Come in".

Caroline opened the door and said with a smile, "Adrian, how are you?" The old butler obviously cried just now, and after Caroline came in, he quickly wiped the tears off his face.

"Oh! It's Mrs. Darcy. Thank you for coming to visit me. I'm much better now." Sitting on the head of the bed, the old butler was wearing pajamas, with red eyes, and looked at Caroline while holding back his sadness.

Caroline sat on the stool by the bed and held his old wrinkled hand: "I'm sorry, Adrian, I just came to see you now."

"Don't feel sorry, Mrs. Darcy, I'm already very happy that you can come to see me." The old butler shook Caroline's hand and said with emotion: "I really hope you can still pester me like you did when you were a child." Hold it high, Miss Dommett told me last time that when you have a child, she will take me to live in Pemberley Manor for a while, but, but Miss Dommett will never see that moment again." , Said, the old butler couldn't help but shed tears again.

Among the three Bentley brothers and sisters, the youngest child, Yuanshen, was the one he loved the most. Thinking about the memory in his mind, Caroline couldn't help hugging the tearful old man, comforting him.

Being embraced by Caroline, the old housekeeper couldn't control the sadness in his heart, and he fell on Caroline's shoulder, crying like a child.It took a long time to sob and straighten up, wiping away tears with the handkerchief in his hand, while looking at Caroline apologetically.

Caroline showed a gentle smile, her blue eyes stared at the tearful sockets of the old butler, and said, "Adrian, although my aunt is gone, you can still come to Pemberley Manor when I have a child." , help me take care of you. You need to cheer up, Adrian, not only I need you, the manor needs you, but Charles and the others also need you. After Charles and the others move over, if Jane has a child in the future, you still need your help You have to take care of it, so you have a lot of responsibility, you know."

The old housekeeper wiped his tears and asked with a sob: "Can I still take care of the children for you?"

"Of course, you took care of the three of us in Norfolk when we were young, our children, of course you can continue to take care of us."

"Oh! Thank you for your generosity, Miss Caroline. This is the last time I will call you Miss Caroline. I will remember to call you Mrs. Darcy in the future." The old butler gave Caroline a grateful hug and said .Afterwards, Caroline chatted with the old butler for a while, seeing that his mood was almost stable, and then got up to leave.

A few days later, the old butler's body recovered. After he recovered, because he knew that Charles and the others were about to move in, the old butler took care of the whole manor in advance. There were many things waiting for him to do, so he didn't Time to think about it, and the whole person's spirit has improved a lot.

Caroline and the others stayed here for a month, before leaving before Charles and the others moved to Norfolk.

It has been a month since Louisa left Erwin, so she went back to London directly, while Caroline and Darcy went back to Pemberley Manor, because Georgiana had already gone back.

Originally, Mrs. Catherine wanted to take her back to Rosings Manor directly after leaving London. She was worried that Darcy and Caroline were not in Pemberley Manor, but the girl disagreed desperately and wrote a letter to beg her brother. And sister-in-law, in desperation, Darcy and Caroline could only persuade Lady Catherine to let Georgiana return to Pemberley Manor.

Pemberley Manor

Caroline looked at the polite Mr. Whedon in front of her, and couldn't help feeling his persistence. She and Darcy had just returned to Pemberley Manor, and this gentleman came to visit. I'm afraid it was when Georgiana returned to Pemberley Manor. , followed to Derbyshire.

After lunch, Mr. Whedon invited Georgiana to go for a walk. Caroline poked Darcy's waist with her elbow as they watched the two leave: "I think Georgiana is in danger of getting married soon."

Darcy glanced at Caroline, and when she turned her head, raised her eyebrows and said meaningfully: "Dangerous?" Darcy suddenly realized: "Madam is right, I know what to do."

"Do you know what to do?" Caroline looked at Darcy inexplicably, not knowing what messed up his brain: "What are you going to do?"

Darcy pulled Caroline into his arms amusedly, bowed his head and kissed her forehead lightly before saying, "Thank you for reminding me, Ma'am, I also think Georgiana should not marry so early, she is only 18 years old, she should marry again." After waiting for a while, Madam's words reached my heart."

The smile in Darcy's eyes was so dazzling to Caroline, she stretched out her hand and pinched his waist hard, making Darcy gasp in pain, Caroline stared at him and said: " You know I'm just talking and nothing else, Fitzwilliam."

Holding Caroline's hand on his waist, Darcy nodded and coaxed the angry Caroline, "Honey, I know you don't mean anything else, it's because I'm thinking too much." Lead her to the living room.

"Then is what you said first true?"

"Of course it's true."

Caroline: "...".

Caroline could only silently mourn for Mr. Whedon in her heart, although she caused this incident.But looking at Darcy's intentions, it can't be all her fault, can it?

At the end of spring and the beginning of summer, I thought that Charles and Jane would move to Norfolk in March, but they didn't know what was going on. It was only now that they started to move, and all the furniture and luggage in Netherfield were taken away. Loaded into a carriage and sent to Norfolk.

On the way, Charles thought that the manor in Norfolk would be rearranged, so he turned around and brought Jane directly to Pemberley Manor, leaving all the rest to the housekeeper.

Looking at the magnificent Pemberley Manor in front of him, Charles couldn't help but be proud of his wit. Summer was coming soon, and he just came here to escape the heat.

"The last time you left Norfolk, didn't you say you would move there as soon as possible? Why are you only starting now?" Caroline asked.

Hearing Caroline's words, Jane was ashamed and looked at everyone embarrassedly: "My mother—"

"Oh! Caroline, you know, my mother-in-law and the neighbors in Meryton Town are reluctant to let us move, so—" Charles snatched Jane's words, and at the end, he shrugged his shoulders, Make a helpless expression.

Knowing that Charles and Jane were determined to move out this time, Mrs. Bennet disagreed with life and death, and dragged them to cry and make trouble. Finally, under the dissuasion of Mr. Bennet and Elizabeth, the matter came to an end , but the two also agreed to Mrs. Bennet's condition that she take the remaining daughters to live with them for a period of time every year.

Caroline frowned. With the skills of the women in the Bennett family, she was really afraid that the old butler would not be able to bear it at such an age. Thinking about it, she could only let the old butler come to Pemberley Manor, or let him go to the Bingley's house in London, anyway. The butler of the Bingley family will go to Norfolk, and the affairs of the manor will gradually be handed over to him in the future.

--

As soon as Charles settled in Pemberley Manor, he was like a runaway wild horse. He took Darcy and Mr. Whedon who came to visit the manor to go fishing and hunting all day long, or he went around to visit the neighbors around him. stop.

There were often only three ladies left in the mansion, and Caroline took Georgiana and Jane to receive the visiting ladies, or went around the village with them, drinking tea and chatting.

Since the last time in Norfolk, Caroline and Jane are getting along pretty well. With their relationship, peaceful coexistence is the best result.In fact, for Caroline, Jane's personality is much better than Charles's convulsions from time to time.

--

"Go get a glass of water, and Dolly, let her take care of Jane." Caroline and Darcy were walking on the lawn when they heard Charles shouting loudly, and when they turned around, they saw Charles walking quickly Getting off the carriage and rushing into the mansion, the two quickly followed to the hall.

As soon as he got closer, he found that Charles was hugging the unconscious Jane, sweating profusely.

"What's the matter with Jane, didn't you go out this morning all right?" Caroline stepped forward and asked, looking at Charles' arms, Jane was sweating, her face was pale and her eyes were closed.

"Jane seems to be suffering from heat stroke." Charles only had time to answer, and hurried upstairs with Jane in his arms. Caroline could only grab Georgiana and Mr. Whedon who came in behind and asked, "Did you call the doctor?"

Georgiana had a look of fear now, obviously she was quite frightened, Mr. Whedon stood up and said softly: "Don't worry, Mrs. Darcy, I have already ordered the servant to call the doctor on the way back."

"Thank you," Darcy nodded, and then looked at Georgiana: "Georgianna, you are entertaining Mr. Whedon down below. Caroline and I will go up and have a look first."

"Well," Georgiana nodded with a pale face. When Caroline and Darcy went upstairs and walked in the corridor, they saw Mr. Whedon comforting Georgiana softly, which made Caroline couldn't help but I silently rejoiced, fortunately, Mr. Whedon followed me out today, otherwise, with Charles and Georgiana's bewildered appearance, I'm afraid things would be much more chaotic.

While Caroline was thinking, Dr. Allen had already walked into the hall, and quickly went upstairs to catch up with them.

Early this morning, Charles and Jane, as well as Georgiana and Mr. Whedon went to the town to play because of yesterday's agreement, but because there were some things in the village that needed to be dealt with by Caroline this morning, she did not go along, and Darcy also accompanied She stayed at Pemberley Park.As a result, I didn't expect that it was fine when I went out in the morning, but something like this happened in the afternoon.

After Dr. Allen's examination, Charles immediately stepped forward and grabbed his hand anxiously and asked, "Doctor Allen, how is Jane? Is there anything wrong?"

Dr. Allen did not reply immediately, but comforted everyone with his eyes, and looked at Charles with a smile: "Mrs. Bingley is fine, and congratulations, Mr. Bingley, you are going to be a father soon."

"Oh, as long as it's okay, if it's okay—" Charles kept muttering, and then he suddenly reacted and looked at Dr. Allen suddenly: "What did you just say? I, I...", Charles kept getting excited Trembling, unable to speak clearly.

"Hahaha, yes, you're going to be a father soon, Mr. Bingley." Dr. Allen laughed and patted Charles on the shoulder: "Mrs. Bingley is pregnant and stayed in such hot weather for too long. It's not a serious problem, but you should pay attention to rest and don't be too tired."

"Oh, of course, of course, don't worry Dr. Allen, Caroline, you don't mind if we stay at Pemberley Manor for a while."After Caroline shook her head, Charles looked happily at Dr. Allen and asked, "Doctor Allen, if we want to go back to Norfolk, how long will it take?"

"It's better to wait two more months, it will be safer then."

"Okay, thank you, Dr. Allen."

"Oh! My God, I'm going to be a father!" Charles shouted excitedly, running over and grabbing Caroline and Darcy, with uncontrollable joy in his voice.

"Do you want to wake Jane up, Charles?" Caroline glanced at Charles, who was like an idiot, and said coldly. Charles' voice immediately stopped as if he had pressed the pause button, and whispered: " Yes, yes, I have to keep my voice down, I'm too excited." Then he rushed back to the bed, holding Jane's hand like an idiot, and silently stood aside.

Charles' behavior made Caroline roll her eyes, and complained to Darcy next to her, "Charles is getting more and more idiotic", and called Dr. Allen out of the room, and went to the living room to talk about some precautions for pregnant women.What she didn't see was that Darcy looked at Charles with envy in his eyes.

After Dr. Allen left, Mrs. Reynolds, who was on the sidelines, kept her eyes glued to Caroline's body. The eyes made her creepy, until she couldn't stand it anymore, and she went back to the room directly under the pretext of writing a letter to Louisa.

After Caroline left, Mrs. Reynolds was still regretting. If she had known that Dr. Allen would have checked the young lady, maybe the young lady was pregnant too.

Shaking her head, Mrs. Renault went to the kitchen regretfully. This matter can only wait until Dr. Allen comes next time.

"Oh! I heard from my siblings that the Pemberley Manor in Derbyshire is very beautiful and majestic. I've wanted to come here for a long time." Mrs. Bennet looked fascinated, and then suddenly cried out regretfully: "Oh! It's a pity that my Lydia can't come, it's all your fault, Lizzie, if you and your father didn't prevent me from notifying her, how could she not come?! You know, she has wanted to come here for a long time. I heard that Wickham has been here since he was a child. I grew up, why can’t I let her come, let her see where my husband lived when he was a child? You are so cruel. Oh, why are you always against me, and you don’t know how to be considerate of my hard-working mother .”

Mrs. Bennet complained endlessly, Mary and Catherine immediately turned their heads to the scenery outside the carriage in tacit understanding, and turned a deaf ear to it.

"Jane and Charles just wrote to tell us the good news that they had a baby, but they didn't let us come to Pemberley Manor. Mr. Darcy and the others didn't invite us either. You wanted to come here privately, mother."

Elizabeth's cold words immediately lowered Mrs. Bennet's arrogance, but she felt that she was overwhelmed by her own daughter and was embarrassed, so she immediately yelled: "Jane is my own daughter. She is pregnant. How can I do this?" Can't mother's visit her? And I've almost written my greetings at Pemberley Manor, and I'm not being rude."

Elizabeth stared at her mother expressionlessly: "You just sent a letter to Pemberley Manor this morning, and now you are almost here." As long as Elizabeth thought that her father could not stand her mother's fuss, she agreed to come to Pemberley Manor. I feel disheartened.Dad even asked her to follow her mother and sister to avoid embarrassing them. Since she was afraid of losing face, why couldn't her father be more forceful to stop her mother, insisting on forcing her into such an embarrassing and embarrassing situation.Elizabeth thought desperately.

This time, Mrs. Bennet was very determined to come to Pemberley Manor. The fact that her daughter was pregnant gave her great encouragement. For the first time in her life, she did not compromise on her husband's tough attitude. Instead, he fought to the end and made a fuss at home for two whole weeks. In the end, Mr. Bennet couldn't take it anymore and compromised.

After her husband agreed, Mrs. Bennet immediately packed her luggage and rushed to Derbyshire, for fear that her husband would regret it.As for why she didn't write to Jane in advance to tell Jane that she was coming to Pemberley Manor, it was because she was afraid that she would disagree.Lydia had already complained to her about the Netherfield Garden last time, and no matter how much she made a fuss, Jane was not soft-hearted, so this time she wanted to come to Pemberley Manor, she must definitely not agree, so she decided to Let's cut first and then play, and specifically ordered Catherine to watch Elizabeth and not allow her to tip off.

Because of her cleverness along the way, Mrs. Bennet was proud of herself for a long time. It was only when she was about to arrive that she remembered that her precious daughter Lydia missed the beautiful scenery here because Elizabeth tried her best to prevent her from coming. And suddenly went crazy.
