Dear Mr. Darcy [Pride and Prejudice]

Mr. Darcy had been sitting on the sofa with the newspaper for a long time, and Georgiana still had not come downstairs.This was very unusual, but Mr. Darcy did not send his servants upstairs to look.

The sunlight deflected another angle, and Georgiana finally stepped down lightly.It was obvious that she had dressed up specially today, her pale cheeks were painted with light red, her thick golden-brown hair was rolled up high, and her eyes sparkled with happiness. "Good day, brother."

"Well, good day. You can have breakfast." Mr. Darcy closed the newspaper and walked to the breakfast table first.

In the past, Georgiana might have been nervous because she was late, but today she just apologized in a brisk tone and started eating breakfast.Today she had an extra appetite and ate three slices of fried toast with butter, a whole roasted tomato, and even two slices of bacon, which she rarely touched at the breakfast table because it felt greasy.Mr. Darcy put down his knife and fork when she had finished eating.

After breakfast, Georgiana sat down in the drawing room with a book in her hand, and took a peek at Mr. Darcy. Usually, she should go to practice the piano at this time.But Mr. Darcy took up the paper he had read before breakfast, and made no comment on her indolence.

After Georgiana looked at the door four or five times, a servant finally came in and announced: "The Earl of Kentra and Miss Kentra have arrived."

Georgiana put down her book and greeted her happily. "Emma, ​​you are finally here."

Before Emma walked in, she saw the little angel's bright smiling face, and her uneasy mood suddenly improved: "Georgianna, you have become beautiful again, and you have grown a lot taller."

Georgiana lowered her head and pinched the corner of her skirt, her ears glowing red: "Emma." She really did the right thing when she got up in the morning.

George, who was ignored, shrugged helplessly, and this happened more than once.He deftly bypassed the two who were intimate at the door, and walked towards Mr. Darcy who had stood up: "Fitzwilliam, long time no see." Since Mr. Kentra's accident, he got rid of his bohemian habits. There is cooperation in border trade, and Mr. Darcy is gradually getting acquainted.

Mr. Darcy stretched out his hand to realize that the newspaper had not been put down, and coughed in embarrassment.Fortunately, George didn't care too much. "Georgiana is going to enter the social world this year, how many days will you stay in London?"

Mr. Darcy shook his head. "Georgiana is not in good health, and all the balls and invitations are doing her no good. We'll be back in a month."

Two gentlemen sit down on a couch to discuss their concerns.

Georgiana also led Emma to sit down: "Dear Emma, ​​I practice the movements you taught me every day, and now I am in much better health, and I won't be tired after walking around Pemberley's garden."

Emma laughed at her hyperbole.The area of ​​Pemberley is calculated in acres, otherwise why she knocked on the gate and dragged the gatekeeper to the horse when she couldn't wait to walk in with the gatekeeper?Because it is too late to walk. "Keep practicing. If one day Mr. Darcy bullies you, you will come to Yorkshire."

Georgiana was a little embarrassed by Emma's teasing. "My brother won't bully me."

Because he was sitting close, George heard Georgiana's words and teased Mr. Darcy: "The relationship between your brothers and sisters is really harmonious. Georgiana protects you all the time. Unlike Emma..."

Mr. Darcy pursed his lips, and said in a cold voice, "Miss Kentra has done more for you."

George seemed to hear the meaning of accusation from these words, and quickly argued: "Of course Emma is the best sister in the world, but she is too smart. Sometimes I miss how she relied on me when she was a child."

Mr. Darcy seemed about to say something, but held back.Instead, I asked: "Did you not visit the Duke of Crawley first when you came to London?"

Talking about this, George smiled wryly: "I just messed up something, and His Excellency the Duke won't want to see me in a short time. I sent someone to deliver the gift." Speaking of this, he laughed at himself: "You You know, I don’t understand the content of the meeting of the House of Lords, Yorkshire is also in a mess, but it has made a lot of money, and the Earl of Kentra, who is not doing business, deserves his name.”

Mr. Darcy said seriously: "I don't think there's anything wrong with that."

There was nothing wrong with it, and Emma was quite satisfied with the status quo.Although George had been out of business for a while, he was not so stupid that he couldn't do anything. It was impossible for him to understand the meetings of the House of Lords after he had been obsessed with it since he was a child.But their brothers and sisters tacitly maintained the status quo.

Georgiana didn't care about this topic, and continued to talk to Emma: "I wrote out the score for that favorite song you sang last time, and put it in the piano room. I'll come back and talk to you later."

favorite song?Emma felt a little guilty. "Did you write the score for Scarborough Fair? I only sang it for you once." Emma basically didn't know much about art before time travel, but after time travel, the original owner, as the lady of the Earl's family, cultivated an outstanding manner. , but in terms of talent, he is only good at piano.In order to avoid embarrassing situations in social situations, Emma hired tutors to train singing, drawing, and dancing two years ago, but she did not expect to practice basic skills for a whole year.A year ago, she was asked to sing at a country dance. Emma thought that only Scarborough Fair could be used for emergencies, and said it was her favorite song.

Georgiana was a little smug, and raised the corners of her mouth slightly: "One time is enough, it is not difficult to repeat the tune."

Emma's heart is about to be cut off. "Georgianna, you are amazing."

Being praised so bluntly, Georgiana became shy again. "Actually, it's not difficult. You can do it too, Emma. Well, shall we go out now?"

When they were going out, George took his leave.There were guests visiting in the morning, but he just escorted his sister over.Mr. Darcy, who had promised Georgiana in a moment of resignation yesterday, was in charge of shopping with the two ladies.

May is the busiest time in London, and luxurious carriages drive slowly on Luther Gantt Street.The battle ahead did not stop the fashion from Paris.The wide skirts of the ladies are embellished with gorgeous gold and silver embroidery, and a few strands of mischievous curly hair are exposed under the wide brim of the hat, and the complicated lace feathers on the hat tremble slightly with the delicate laughter.The modern girl will also tie a lace decoration on the swan-like slender and graceful neck. The wide U-shaped neckline reveals the plump and white breasts, and the fragrance is refreshing when walking.There are endless shops on both sides, beautiful silks and satins, soft lace, shiny jewelry, gorgeous feathers... The clever little guy bowed his waist to welcome the noble lady into the shop, handsome and Sweet mouth can also get windfall.

Georgiana stared intently.Emma smiled understandingly. It wasn't the first time she came to London, and she was quite shocked by the bustling scene at first.Emma also took a closer look at the ladies' attire, but unlike Georgiana's mood of "Oh, so beautiful, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy" Georgiana, she is here as a staff officer, and today's protagonist is Georgiana.As a young lady entering London society for the first time, Georgiana had to pay special attention to her dress, which was both decent and fashionable.

Mr. Darcy jumped off his horse, went to the carriage and held out his hand.Georgiana stepped out of the carriage first, and then a soft white hand fell into Mr. Darcy's.Time seemed to stand still for a moment.Suddenly there was a commotion nearby.

"Stealing brat!"

Several servants came running after a boy, and the ladies ducked aside in horror. "My God." "How can there be thieves here." "These people are so rude, how can they catch thieves here."

As soon as Emma stepped down, she was bumped and staggered, and almost fell into Mr. Darcy's arms.Mr. Darcy grabbed her slender waist subconsciously, and immediately realized that something was wrong.Feeling soft and warm in his arms, Mr. Darcy took a step back and almost pushed Emma out.

"Brother!" Georgiana supported Emma and gave Mr. Darcy a dissatisfied look for the first time.She had always understood Mr. Darcy's way of keeping the ladies from misunderstanding, but she should not have treated Emma so rudely.

Emma took Georgiana's hand and shook her head.She knew why Mr. Darcy reacted so strongly, and it was her problem.

Georgiana's excitement was poured cold water.If she had known that her brother was like this, she and Emma would not have accompanied her when they came out.Emma was not affected, and she understood very well Mr. Darcy's keeping his distance from her.She was engaged, after all, and it would be inappropriate to be too intimate with an unmarried man.

Emma smiled at Mr. Darcy, showing that she did not care, and led Georgiana into a shop.Mr. Darcy froze on the spot for a while, then silently followed.

Emma did her homework before she came.The sea-like blue is popular in London this year, and Georgiana's fair skin complements this color.She is still young, her breasts are not yet fully developed, and her neckline is too big and empty, which is not good-looking.It would be much better to embellish some overlapping lace on the chest.She enthusiastically asked people to draw cloth on Georgiana's body, secretly reliving the fun of dressing up dolls when she was a child.

Georgiana lost interest in shopping, afraid that her brother would do something disrespectful, so she chose three pieces of fabric and some lace at random and said she was tired.

Emma knew that the little angel was a little sensitive, and it was difficult for Mr. Darcy to explain to her at this time.

Back at her residence in London, Emma hugged Georgiana affectionately: "You see, I am engaged, and Mr. Darcy is still a single man. If we are too close, others will gossip, and so will my fiancé." would be displeased. Mr. Darcy is for my happiness too, don't blame your brother."

Georgiana nodded. "I'm afraid you will be angry, brother is not very good at expressing kindness..."

"Mr. Darcy saved my brother and me, and I know his precious heart. Anyway, I have a thick skin and I'm not afraid."

Georgiana couldn't help laughing. "Where is the lady saying that she is cheeky, thick-skinned, don't talk nonsense."

The depressed little angel laughed, and Emma was about to leave.She had a lot of business to do when she first came to London, and a big cotton weaver came to visit George in the afternoon, and she had to go back.

After sending Emma away, Georgiana remembered that she forgot to show Emma the music score, and did not play the piano for her.

Georgiana intended to speak to her brother, but Mr. Darcy, having sent the two ladies back in the morning, went out, and did not return till dinner.

Georgiana went to bed early but couldn't sleep.She did not tell Emma in the morning that, though Mr. Darcy always kept his distance from the ladies, he had never been so violent.In the morning he realized that holding Emma was like being punched.Georgiana was angry and confused.In her opinion, although her elder brother is arrogant, she is upright, while Emma is gentle, humorous and brave.My brother had saved Emma's family, and Emma had saved her. Even if their relationship was not very harmonious, there was absolutely no reason for them to be so stiff.She turned around angrily, recalling carefully that she often received letters or news from Emma, ​​and sometimes happily told her brother that he always just listened with a blank face.

After thinking for a long time and still unable to fall asleep, Georgiana sat up and wanted to go to the piano room to play a song to calm down.Unexpectedly, the door of the piano room was closed, and a familiar melody came vaguely.Now there are no guests at home, so is the elder brother playing the piano inside?Georgiana pushed the door open a crack curiously, and the melody of Scarborough Fair flowed out.At the end of the song, an extremely familiar voice from Georgiana came from inside, as soft as a sigh: "So this is her favorite song."

Georgiana froze for a few minutes because of the extreme shock, and her first reaction when she came back to her senses was to lift her skirt and run back to the bedroom without a sound.It wasn't until she buried her head in the quilt that she spit out the words she had been holding in her mouth just now: "Oh my God."

The author has something to say: why Georgiana's painting style suddenly changed to a lily, why Mr. Darcy fell into a bitter love, and why Emma was so disturbed before she came.Please watch the next episode: Memories: Last Year in London
