Dear Mr. Darcy [Pride and Prejudice]

Mr. Bingley was taken aback.The impression Emma left on him at the last ball was: a beautiful and gentle lady with a pitiful background and a noble status who has any connection with Darcy.I didn't expect her words to be so sharp.

The gentlemen and ladies who were talking about this matter behind their backs just showed embarrassing expressions.

Mr. Bingley felt aggrieved for his friend just now, but it was inconvenient for him to step forward to refute because he was talking to a few strange ladies.Seeing Emma's refutation, they were speechless. Although they were a bit ungentlemanly, they secretly felt happy in their hearts.Because I was in such a good mood, I remembered to see my friend's reaction after a while.

Mr. Darcy was still expressionless, but Mr. Bingley and his long-time friends could see that his brows and eyes had softened a lot.

Miss Kate was left speechless by the question, and when she saw Mr. Darcy again, she was as embarrassed as Miss Daisy and fainted. "You, whose family are you from? It would be impolite to eavesdrop on our conversation."

Emma gave her a condescending look, disdainful to refute, and she lashed out angrily: "I am Emma Kentra, and my elder brother is the new Earl of Kentra. Mr. Darcy is the benefactor of my Kentra family, who saved my brother and me. my life. I certainly cannot ignore the vilification of Mr. Darcy."

It would have been very easy for a lady who was engaged to defend a single man who was not related to her by blood to attract gossip.But Emma's expression was frank, and she said clearly that Mr. Darcy was the benefactor of the Kentra family, which made it difficult for people to gossip.

Mr. Bingley was very impressed with Emma. Seeing that she only brought a servant, he invited, "Miss Kentra, it's a coincidence to meet you here. How about having a cup of coffee with us?"

Emma had a good impression of this soft-tempered gentleman, she restrained her sharpness just now and nodded and smiled at him.

After the three of them sat down at the table, Emma explained: "Although I wanted to say it was a coincidence, I actually came to see Mr. Darcy. I just visited and heard that the two of you came to the bank to withdraw money. I came too. Just in time, the servant saw the two of you standing at the door, otherwise I would have missed it."

Mr. Darcy guessed that Emma came to visit because she had heard about him, but he couldn't understand why Emma didn't go to the door with her brother, but came after her.

Emma knew without seeing Mr. Darcy's expression that he disapproved. "A few days ago, my brother was invited by the Duke. I went up to visit today. I really couldn't miss the appointment. I was worried that you would pay the fine first, so I came here in a hurry."

Mr. Bingley was very surprised: "How do you know that Fitzwilliam will pay part of the fine first?"

Emma was entirely reasonable. "I know that Mr. Darcy's agent is old Mr. Carter's son. As long as he didn't intend to commit a crime, Mr. Darcy would never put the blame on him at this time. But it is very simple for Mr. Darcy to get out of his own way. It will be very difficult to save him. The best way to ensure his safety now is to pay part of the fine first."

The reasoning is not complicated, but it is very fresh from the mouth of a young lady.Mr. Bingley felt that he needed to get to know Emma anew.

Mr. Darcy was not as surprised as Mr. Bingley, who was well acquainted with the intelligence of the lady before him. "You don't seem to agree with this approach?"

Emma's expression was very serious: "The coffee shop is really not a suitable place to talk about. If you agree, my brother and I live in a very safe place."

Safety.Mr. Darcy was slightly puzzled when he caught the word.Although the matter seemed tricky, it could have been easily resolved if he hadn't wanted to keep Philip.Emma was acting too cautiously.But he also knew that Emma would not do so without reason. "Then Charles and I will interrupt."

Emma did not lead the two gentlemen back to the property left by the old Earl of Kentra, but turned into a secluded alley.Although the residence is small, it is very warmly furnished.

After closing the door of the study, Emma said in a low voice: "The war in North America has been going on for a long time, and the high military expenditure has made the parliament unable to afford it. The military detained your agent in order to find an excuse to ask for fines as military expenses. You understand a little bit. But you don’t know that the French army is very powerful in land combat, and our army has failed several times in succession, hoping to pass..." She drew a line on the table with her hand and cut it down the middle.

Mr. Darcy's countenance changed suddenly.He understood what Emma meant, and the British army hoped to win by cutting off the supply line. "This news..." It's not that he doesn't believe Emma, ​​but where can Emma get the secret order that hasn't been issued yet?

Emma pursed her lips. She couldn't say that she saw it from a history book, could she? "Sorry, I can only say that this news is absolutely true. You must not bear this charge at this time. The news that you are providing weapons to the French army is just to put pressure on you to pay the money as soon as possible. Wait for action At first, if the military wants to kill a few typical smugglers, this news may kill you."

Mr. Bingley did not understand Emma's metaphor, but knew that the situation was now more serious. "Then Fitzwilliam must not bear this charge at this time."

Mr. Darcy frowned.If Philip was executed because of this, it was the reckless young man's own fault, but with the help of old Carter, he still hoped to save Philip's life.

Emma did not long trouble him. "First of all, you have to make sure you are not involved. You don't have to worry about this with your uncle. My brother has written to my father's old friend. If it goes well, maybe you can replace your agent, Mr. Carter Jr. Anyway, just execute him A collaborating smuggler, no one will care too much about what he looks like or his identity."

What Emma said was understatement, but Mr. Darcy was not perfunctory: "Switch a death row prisoner who committed treason, and is the main criminal?"

Mr. Darcy's questioning hit the nail on the head.Emma had to explain in detail: "If it is fast enough, it will be easier before the military operation begins. A few months ago, several medical scientists asked my brother for funding, and my brother gave them a little money. Last week they came to the door and said that they had researched Some results are immature, but they can reduce the most fatal fever in trauma treatment by [-]%. The funding has been exhausted, and they want their brother to continue funding. Provide their current research results to the military, and want to exchange for a People should still be able to.”

Mr. Darcy is well-read. Although his major is not medicine, he also knows how difficult it is to reduce the fever in trauma treatment by [-]%. "It's someone else's work."

"Medicine is a career that benefits mankind. Those doctors didn't plan to make a profit from it. When the technology matures, they will find a suitable time to make it public. My brother has already given the funds for the next installment to those doctors. I wrote a letter this morning to solicit them. opinions, and will never use funding as a threat to usurp this achievement."

This way of handling Mr. Darcy is completely acceptable. "Then please thank the Earl of Kentra for his help, and I will formally come to thank you someday."

"So there is such a thing." Georgiana was surprised, and this might be the starting point of the relationship. "Neither my brother nor Emma mentioned it to me. Then what happened after that?"

"The doctors quickly wrote back and agreed. On the third day, Fitzwilliam took me to the door to thank Earl Kentra, but Miss Kentra was not at home. Then Fitzwilliam left London to settle the matter. I never saw you again To Miss Kentra."

"Leaving?" This is different from what I imagined.Georgiana thought that Emma was a hero to save the beauty at the critical moment (not), and Mr. Darcy secretly agreed to it (nor did).But it seems that things are not so simple.

The author has something to say: Emma was not telling the truth to Mr. Darcy
