Mrs. Darcy's daily life

"Oh! Oh!", Mrs. Bennet pointed to the majestic building on the hill in the carriage, her face was flushed with excitement, she couldn't even speak, she could only exclamate loudly to express her feelings Emotionally.

Mrs. Bennet's reaction immediately attracted the attention of several of her daughters. Their eyes followed her fingers and looked out. Catherine was immediately attracted to her, and leaned over to the carriage door. She pressed her face to the window and stared wide-eyed. The eyes, as if they want to imprint the distant picture on their eyeballs forever, stick close to each other.Even Mary was attracted by the buildings in the distance, staring intently at the mansion on the hill.

Along the way, they drove into the manor, passed through low river valleys, passed through dense forests, and passed through endless wilderness. The beautiful scenery made them dizzy. Since they entered, their eyes have not stopped, and they have been admiring the beauty with great interest. manor.

Now when they came to the foot of the hill and looked at the majestic building in the distance, it still gave them an unparalleled shock. It was a kind of visual impact, which made them unable to recover for a long time.

"My God! It's so beautiful!" Catherine sighed, covering her mouth.

Mary closed the book on her lap, and said solemnly: "This is the first time I agree with your words, Kitty, and I agree very much. This manor is really magnificent and beautiful beyond imagination."

Hearing the sighs of her sisters, Elizabeth looked at the mansion on the hill in the distance with a complicated expression. Originally, she had hoped to become the hostess here.

This is the second time Elizabeth has come here, but she is still impressed by the beauty and magnificence of this manor, but this time her mood is completely different from the last time.

The last time she came here, she was full of novelty, nervousness, apprehension and excitement, but this time, Elizabeth set her sights on her mother and sisters, who were engrossed in looking at the distant buildings with bright eyes Bright, with longing.Elizabeth knew that they would be even more humiliated when they came to Pemberley Manor this time.

Lowering her eyes tiredly, Elizabeth's body seemed to be drained of strength and fell limply on the backrest behind her, listening to her mother and sisters yelling, letting the carriage sway and carry them up the hill.

--

"You mean that Mrs. Bennet and the ladies of the Bennet family are going to visit Pemberley Manor?" Darcy looked at Charles who was sitting on the sofa opposite with no expression, his voice was flat, and he couldn't hear any joy. Angry, but inexplicably, Charles heard displeasure in his deep voice.

Holding the letter in his hand, Charles looked embarrassed, and after Darcy's words fell, he smiled and said: "Yes, my mother-in-law heard that Jane was pregnant, so she couldn't wait to take care of Jane and the baby in her belly. Child, she is also kind, as you know, she is the most enthusiastic."

Speaking of this, Charles exaggerated his expression and gestured with his hands: "And the mother-in-law successfully raised five children. Think about it, what an amazing mother she is. She is very experienced in this area, and she takes care of her." Jane, we can rest assured, can't we?"

Taking care of pregnant women?There are so many servants taking care of this manor, and Dr. Allen comes to check up regularly, so there is no need for Mrs. Bennet to take care of it.

Caroline glanced at Charles and thought.

"Then how soon are they going to arrive at Pemberley Manor?" Caroline didn't want the Bennett family to come to Pemberley Manor. Last time in Netherfield Gardens, she had fully seen their uproar, which was even worse than in the original book. And, so she wanted to find some way to keep them from coming.

When talking about this matter, Charles became even more embarrassed. He glanced at Caroline and Darcy cautiously, his face blushed, and finally said falteringly: "Mother-in-law wrote to me this morning, saying that she has When we arrive in Derbyshire, we are expected to arrive at Pemberley Manor by noon."

"What!" Caroline frowned and said in a deep voice, "I wrote to inform us when we were already in Derbyshire."

Darcy's face had completely turned cold. Anyone who met such uninvited guests would not be in a good mood, and besides, they were the ones Darcy avoided.

"I'm sorry, Caroline, Darcy." Just when Charles was at a loss and wanted to explain, Jane walked into the living room and said, she glanced at her embarrassing husband guiltily, then sat next to him, and looked at the opposite The two said apologetically: "I'm the one who caused trouble for you this time. I think that since my mother and the others are here, Charles and I will take them back to Norfolk tomorrow. The place has already been sorted out, and now I have to After recuperating at Pemberley Manor for a month, the child and I are fine and can go back."

As soon as she received a letter from her mother today, Jane told Charles what she thought, but he disagreed, let her rest well, don't worry, he will solve this matter.But after thinking about it in the room, Jane was still uneasy. She knew what kind of personality her mother had. As a result, Pemberley Manor would definitely not be safe.

In addition, she is also the person who understands the most entanglements, whether it is the matter of Darcy and Elizabeth, or the matter of Wickham, or the matter of Lydia in Netherfield Garden last time. Both made the relationship between the two families extremely complicated.It was precisely because of this that she understood how embarrassing everyone would be when Mrs. Bennet and the others came.

"No!" When Charles was in a hurry to persuade Jane, Caroline had decisively rejected Jane's proposal: "You are not suitable for traveling for a long time now, for the sake of the child in your belly and your own body, You have to stay at Pemberley Manor for a while, and you can't leave until Dr. Allen nods and agrees that you go back to Norfolk."

"This—" Jane suddenly became embarrassed.

"Yes, my dear, you are not in good health yet, we will follow Caroline's advice and stay at Pemberley Manor. After a while, we will return to Norfolk immediately after your health permits." Charles hurriedly followed to comfort him, he was the last thing to let Jane take risks.

Unconsciously, she lowered her head and gently stroked her stomach with her hands. It was her child inside. Caroline was right, she couldn't let the child have any risks.

Jane immediately made up her mind, raised her head and showed a comforting smile to Charles, then nodded to Caroline: "Well, you are right, I can't mess around, I will stay at Pemberley Manor for a while longer, until Ellen The doctor nodded and returned to Norfolk with Charles. As for my mother and the others," Jane paused for a moment before continuing, "I will arrange a good hotel for them and let them live there."

This was already the best way she could think of.

"No need." Caroline rang the bell as she said that, and after the butler Sorel walked in quickly, she gave him instructions: "You send someone to prepare four guest rooms, and there will be guests at noon later. When you arrive at Pemberley Hall, remember to have lunch ready in the kitchen."

"Okay, ma'am", the butler Sorel retreated with some doubts. After all, he was coming to visit, so how could he write a letter when it was almost here? It would be noon soon, and he didn't know if there was still time to make lunch preparations.

Caroline calmly ordered Sorel butler, and took a sip of tea.Mrs. Bennet and the others came to visit. If they were really allowed to stay in a hotel, it would not be a joke to spread the word. Such a big mansion can't accommodate a few people?

"Oh! Caroline, you are so kind, I knew you would not make it difficult for my brother." After Sorel left, Charles immediately shouted with relief and joy, and the matter was successfully resolved. The happiest thing is him.

"My dear, you don't have to worry now! Darcy and Caroline are not the kind of stingy people."

Darcy glanced at Charles coldly, he wanted to tell him that he was the kind of stingy person.

Regarding what her husband said, Jane just forced a smile and looked at him. Although Caroline agreed with her mother and the others to visit, she was not relieved because the more difficult thing should be the next one. get along.Still, she was immensely grateful to Caroline for her generosity.

"Thank you, Caroline, and I'm terribly sorry about this."

Caroline just shook her head lightly. In fact, Jane should be more grateful to Louisa. If Louisa hadn't written a letter to ask her to take good care of Jane and the child in her belly, Caroline would definitely Because he didn't want to bring Mrs. Bennet into trouble, he decisively agreed to the proposal to return to Norfolk briefly.

As the first child of the Bingley family, Louisa valued and was very surprised. As soon as she heard the news, she immediately wrote several letters to ask Caroline to take good care of Jane. She will come to Pemberley Manor after a while.If something happened to it, even if Louisa would not blame Caroline, Caroline would not be able to face her.

The door of the living room was suddenly opened, and the servant came in and said respectfully, "Madam, the guest has arrived."

"Are you here?" Charles jumped up from the sofa, his blond hair swayed twice, his eyes sparkled, and he had already forgotten how embarrassing Mrs. Bennet's arrival was for him at the time. Excited, he must share the joy of Jane's pregnancy with them later.

"Oh! My dear, did you hear, mother-in-law and the others are here, I didn't expect them to come so soon, she will be very happy to see you later." Charles shouted happily: "Let's go, let's go now Go out and meet them."

Jane glanced at Caroline and Darcy in embarrassment. Under her husband's bright eyes, she could only stand up and walk out holding his arm.

"Let's go, let's go out and have a look too," Caroline said blankly looking at Charles' cheerful back.

"Caroline—" Holding his wife's hand, Darcy stood up and called out hesitantly, a trace of tension flashed across his meticulous face, but the emotion disappeared in a flash, and Caroline turned her head When I looked at him, I didn't see it.

"what happened?"

Under the high bridge of the nose, Darcy pursed his slightly thin lips, but in the end he just shook his head and said nothing.

Caroline glanced at him suspiciously, then withdrew her gaze: "Since it's all right, let's go out."

When the two first came out, Mrs. Bennet's bloated body jumped out of the carriage like a rubber ball, and the flesh on her body trembled.With a red face, she rushed to her daughter and son-in-law, and shouted: "Oh! My dear Jane, let mother see quickly", then rushed to them, hugged her daughter, and gave her a kiss close kiss.

"Oh! Charles, Jane, you're going to be father and mother, and I'm going to be grandmother, my God! It's such a happy event."

"Mother-in-law, you are right. This is really a happy event. When the child is born, you should come and see him and let him recognize you as a grandmother." Charles said happily from the side. The joy of being a father made him overwhelmed with excitement.

"Of course! When the child is born, I must take care of him for a while."

While several people were greeting each other, Catherine, Mary, and Elizabeth also got out of the carriage one by one.Looking at the past, what caught the eye was not the loud chattering people, but Caroline and Darcy who were waiting indifferently. They stood calmly aside, and the servants were orderly Standing on both sides, greet their arrival guests.On the contrary, Charles is the dazzling existence. In front of such a magnificent and majestic building, they are so out of place.Like the wives I met by chance at the village market, they were so noisy.

Caroline calmly exchanged salutes with the few people who came down from the carriage. From the corner of her eyes, she glanced at the few people who were chatting happily. Oh no, it should be Charles and Mrs. Bennet who were chatting happily. The two forgot everything around them, and were excitedly sharing the mood of being a father and grandmother.

Caroline's face turned cold, she really wanted to slap Charles on the face, and just exchange a few words at the gate, if there is anything she can't talk about in the house, she has to chat in front of so many people at the gate up? !What are these people standing aside, a display?

Caroline was really annoyed by Charles' unclear character.

Here, Elizabeth set her sights on Darcy and Caroline as soon as she got off the carriage.

Today Darcy is wearing a black formal suit, tall and straight, with a handsome face. Caroline next to her is wearing a long lavender dress and simple and generous jewelry. She is noble and elegant. The expressions of the two are the same, calm and indifferent.

The two of them are a perfect match. Elizabeth suddenly remembered what her mother said, and then she immediately denied it in her heart. She couldn't accept this fact at all.Even though Elizabeth knew that she and Darcy were completely impossible, she would never accept that Darcy would match Caroline, because Caroline was despicable and selfish in heart, while Darcy was kind and upright in heart. How can people match? !

Looking at the figure of the two standing together, Elizabeth felt extra glaring and uncomfortable, and moved her eyes slightly to feel better.Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Jane walking towards her. Elizabeth immediately picked up her mood and stepped forward to hug and kiss her. Then her two younger sisters also stepped forward to hug and kiss Jane one by one.

After saluting each other with Elizabeth and the sisters, Darcy lowered his eyes slightly, and carefully glanced at Caroline. He felt that she seemed to be in a bad mood now.Not knowing why, Darcy squeezed his hands nervously.

After seeing Elizabeth, Darcy was not only a little nervous, but also a little guilty, especially when Caroline was standing beside him.

This emotion is really inexplicable. Darcy frowned imperceptibly on his expressionless face. He hadn't done anything wrong. Why did he feel this way?

In order to relieve this awkward feeling in his heart, Darcy felt that it was necessary to say something to Caroline. Just as he was about to hold Caroline's hand, Darcy twitched his palm gently, only to find that his palm was completely It's Khan, so I can only give up this way of drawing Caroline's attention.

Turning slightly sideways, Darcy coughed and was about to speak, but Caroline turned her head and looked at Charles: "Charles, we can go in and talk later", Caroline's patience has been reached At the peak, there was a hint of warning in the cold voice, she really couldn't stand the two of them.

However, Charles did not hear this warning at all. He was chatting happily with Mrs. Bennet, so he might have noticed it, but fortunately he turned his head with a smile on his face and said, "Yes, you are right. , Caroline, we should go into the house and have a good chat, oh, then let's go in first." Then he led Mrs. Bennet to the mansion first.

Darcy could only swallow the words, and then turned back to the room, but before he took Caroline's hand, a person suddenly popped up beside him and completely separated him from Caroline.

After realizing that his mother-in-law had abandoned him and ran to Darcy's side instead, Charles touched his nose in embarrassment. Jane was staying with the sisters behind him, so it was impossible for him to get in.

"Oh! Caroline, since my mother-in-law has something to do with Darcy, why don't we go together", she grabbed Caroline's hand and put it on her arm, and walked towards the hall, saying something non-stop.

"Oh! Mr. Darcy, long time no see." Mrs. Bennet approached Darcy exaggeratedly and exclaimed with a smile on her face. Caroline's words just now drew her attention back and made her immediately remember the manor. The owner of the house resolutely abandoned the old times with Charles, and turned to Darcy's side.

"What's the matter, Mrs. Bennet?" Darcy glanced at her impatiently, then walked forward without any intention of waiting for her.

Mrs. Bennet trotted a few steps immediately, her body trembling constantly, but fortunately, she still kept up with Darcy's pace.

She didn't care about his attitude at all, and still said with a smile on her face: "Your manor is so beautiful, I have to say a word of admiration, from the moment I entered this manor, I was attracted by the scenery here, it is so magnificent , the vast fields, the lovely woods, the winding valleys, oh, the scenery here is so rich!"

Darcy walked forward without saying a word, with a blank expression on his face. Mrs. Bennet's nagging in his ears really annoyed him, but Mrs. Bennet was obviously not the kind of person who was very good at winking. Absolutely speaking.

"I never knew your manor was so beautiful. If I had known earlier, I would have come to visit you a long time ago. I am here now for being so rude," she turned her head and asked what she was most interested in. Question: "I wonder if you plan to hold a dance in this beautiful manor?"

However, Darcy still ignored her, his lips were tightly closed, and his eyes were looking straight ahead, leaving her with a deep and beautiful side face.

Regarding Darcy's attitude of ignoring her, Mrs. Bennet straightened her face and said: "To tell you the truth, Mr. Darcy, I always thought you were too arrogant before. If you know that arrogance is a bad character, you should This has led most people to misunderstand you as not very agreeable, and I even had the feeling at one point that you were not very agreeable at Longbourne."

Speaking of this, Mrs. Bennet's voice suddenly raised: "But now I want to tell you that I have completely eliminated the prejudice against you before, because you are such a distinguished manor owner and you have a lot of money. , and such a majestic manor, you have every right to be arrogant. If you are an easy-going and kind person, I am afraid I will be the first to stand up and disagree, because you will definitely cause countless troubles like this, and the world will because of you It's too bad that you are easy to get along with and keep coming to you.

oh!Mr. Darcy, now I have to give you a compliment. You are too smart to resist those who have bad intentions for you with your arrogance. You are amazing. If I can see that arrogance is just your appearance to deceive the world , you are indeed a very clever gentleman, I will definitely invite you to visit Longbourne more often, I hope it is not too late, "

While talking, Mrs. Bennet suddenly thought of something funny, and said cheerfully: "If I had the ability to see through the essence of the facts, I would be very happy to let you spend more time with all my daughters when you were in Longbourn. Get along with each other and choose one of them to be your wife. They all have extraordinary beauty and lovely character, especially our Lizzie, who is not much younger than you. If she can marry you, it will be a A good relationship, unfortunately—”

Having said that, she sighed regretfully, and was about to praise Caroline instead.But Darcy stopped abruptly, his dark eyes pierced Mrs. Bennet like a sharp sword, as if trying to pierce her whole body.
