Dear Mr. Darcy [Pride and Prejudice]

Chapter 71. Misunderstanding

George was very pleased with Mr. Darcy's performance.Mr. Darcy's constancy, though inhumane, pleases George.If Mr. Darcy had not rejected Mrs. Bennet in a definite manner, George would have complained to Emma when he returned.

George walked over as if nothing had happened: "Hey, Fitzwilliam, you are not personable enough today."

Mr. Darcy didn't want to pay attention to such a boring question in the past, but now the situation has changed, the original boring question has become a test for Brother Emma.Mr. Darcy replied with a very sincere attitude: "I can't accept the master's kindness. Instead of giving others unrealistic hopes, it is better to refuse as soon as possible."

On the surface, George nodded reservedly and didn't say anything, but he already approved most of Mr. Darcy in his heart.As a former playboy, he has seen too many men use brothels as a good place for leisure and entertainment, or refuse to have a relationship with any lady beyond friendship.As an eighteenth-century man he would not have done it, but he understood that it was an inevitable phenomenon.But as an older brother, he must not tolerate his future brother-in-law being unfaithful to his sister.If Emma married Mr. Darcy in the future, at least there would be absolutely no problem in this respect.George found Mr. Darcy much more pleasing, and felt obliged to give him a piece of advice. "Honesty is a virtue, Fitzwilliam, but ladies are so delicate that an unkind truth might make them weep. Emma would not be offended by such trifles, but she would be much happier to be affirmed. "

In order to increase persuasiveness, George gave an example. "I am sometimes very busy, and Emma will help me choose clothes. To be honest, Emma's taste is always different from mine. Of course, we cannot expect a lady to see men's clothing in the same way as men. At this time, I Can you say that you don’t like her taste? Of course not. She carefully asked me about this year’s men’s fashion, selected one by one, and praised me in such a sincere tone after I put it on. Of course I want to thank her sincerely , and go out in the clothes she chooses."

George prided himself on his thoughtfulness. "Emma has a smile on her face all day when I do that," George boasted, in a slightly troubled tone. "Oh, Emma is always so innocent and lovely. She has done so much for me, and a thank you is a So happy." George had completely forgotten his original intention of speaking, and couldn't stop showing off.

For the first time in his life Mr. Darcy felt sincere envy, but he did not lose sight of the point. "I thought Miss Kentra was not involved in today's evaluation."

Reluctantly, George stopped showing off and pointed to one of the arrangements. "Emma made that one herself."

Mr. Darcy was surprised.Although Emma knows that she is not very good at art, she will try her best to avoid her weaknesses, but nothing can hide from a person who really loves her.Mr. Darcy was well aware that Emma had little interest in artistic entertainment.Just now, when Mrs. Bennet boasted of the ingenuity of the girls who arranged the flowers, she kept a little bit of reserve. She didn't say which lady did it, but said that it was the handiwork of the ladies.Mr. Darcy thought that Emma was not involved, and he did not expect that Emma would be tricked by George.

George said earnestly, "Fitzwilliam, this cannot be called a lie."

Emma came over just in time to hear the last sentence.She very much suspected that George had said something strange to Mr. Darcy, after all, George had too many criminal records.Emma looked into George's eyes and gave a low cry. "elder brother."

George's hairs exploded, he recognized the warning in Emma's words, and quickly put on an innocent and hearty smile. "We're talking flower arrangements, and flower arrangements are beautiful, aren't we, Fitzwilliam?"

If it wasn't for maintaining the image, Emma would have liked to knock on George's head like a watermelon to see if it was empty.Originally, Emma was very pleasing to herself, even if her skills were not as good as others, she could confidently express: I like myself like this.But now her mentality has changed a bit.Facing Mr. Darcy, Emma hopes to show her best side.Now George insists on putting her black history in front of Mr. Darcy, and even forces Mr. Darcy to say compliments against his will.That's embarrassing.

Equally awkward were Georgiana and Elizabeth.Georgiana regretted her proposal a little.In order to create opportunities for Mr. Darcy and Emma to get along, she proposes to play bridge.Emma, ​​she, and Elizabeth came together to ask the two men if they wanted to participate, but George asked such a question.Georgiana no longer counts on her brother's emotional intelligence.

Elizabeth did not know Mr. Darcy well, and in view of what she had just heard from Mr. Darcy, she could anticipate his answer.

But beyond everyone's expectations.Mr. Darcy gave an affirmative answer. "Yes."

Both George and Georgiana were relieved.George thinks that Mr. Darcy can teach a child, and Georgiana is grateful that her brother has finally opened up.

Elizabeth's shock was less positive.If I had to describe it in one sentence, it would be: There are such hypocritical people!Just now, he clearly dismissed the flower arrangement as worthless behind his back, but now in front of the ladies, he can express his beauty in a very natural and sincere manner.No wonder Emma thought this "Mr. Dissatisfied" a good man.

Emma felt that she had auditory hallucinations, followed by strong curiosity.From what she knew of Mr. Darcy, Mr. Darcy did not lie against his will.So in just a quarter of an hour, what did George do to Mr. Darcy, which caused a qualitative change in his aesthetics?

During the remainder of her stay at the Bennett's, Emma was beset by curiosity.Georgiana probably did the same, struggling between curiosity and awe of her brother, played bridge absent-mindedly for a while, and then said she was tired and wanted to rest on the sofa.Mr. Darcy was not involved and was sitting on the sofa.Georgiana left, and when Mrs. Bennet slapped around, Emma briefly talked about Mr. Darcy's selfless help to the Kentra family when her father and brother had an accident.

Emma was distracted, and she didn't notice Elizabeth's thoughtful expression after listening to it. That was not the reaction Emma hoped for.

After all, the journey was hard, and Georgiana got a little tired soon.This time they said goodbye and left smoothly.On the way back, Georgiana was a little listless.Emma felt that she should have not asked the answer.This intensified Emma's curiosity.When getting off the carriage, Emma gave Mr. Darcy a look and pointed to the back.

Mr. Darcy understood what she meant, struggled for a few seconds, and still took a few steps behind secretly.Emma walked over gently, and walked side by side with him.

George and Georgiana were not far in front, the voice of George shouting tired, the voice of Georgiana asking the servant to bring her hot water, and the voice of the servant walking around intertwined and drifted over.They were all in the light, but the place where Mr. Darcy and Emma were was unlit, a vague shadow.

Mr. Darcy suddenly became nervous.This kind of tension was different from the usual tension when he was alone with Emma, ​​it was more secretive, with a little inexplicable excitement and restless tension.

Emma didn't feel the ambiguous atmosphere, she kept thinking about that question. "You really like that vase of flowers?"

I don't know why, at this moment, Mr. Darcy blurted out what he found difficult to say. "It's beautiful to think that you made it seriously."

This was the first time Emma had heard such frank love words from Mr. Darcy.

Mr. Darcy walked a few steps with affected composure, feeling uneasy after all.He glanced quietly from the corner of his eye and found Emma bowing her head silently.Mr. Darcy panicked for a moment.Maybe Emma thinks he's talking too wildly?

George slumped on the sofa, habitually wanting to flirt with Emma.Then he found that Emma had not come in.At this time, a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in George's mind.He looked round the drawing-room, but did not see Mr. Darcy either.George jumped up from the sofa, glanced at the door uneasily, and decided to go out to find them.The relationship should be cultivated step by step. If the progress is too fast, what if Mr. Darcy doesn't cherish his lovely sister?George made an excuse for himself.

Emma took Mr. Darcy's arm and drew him to the wall as George's eyes came.Mr. Darcy was leaning against the wall, but he could not care for the moment whether the wall behind him was clean or not.Emma's face was so close that he could almost hear her soft breathing.Mr. Darcy struggled subconsciously. "us......"

Emma withdrew her hand from Mr. Darcy's arms, pressed it against the wall beside Mr. Darcy's shoulder, forcibly suppressed his subconscious resistance, and said softly: "This is the most false truth I have ever heard. "

As if being poured with a basin of cold water, Mr. Darcy was a little surprised and aggrieved, and just wanted to explain.Emma continued in a low voice: "However, it's also the cutest truth I've ever heard." She raised her face, and Mr. Darcy finally saw it clearly. Wei Yang.It's a pity that the soft and joyful expression was only short-lived. Emma glanced at the door and saw that George was about to come out.She pursed her lips, walked in briskly, and waved to Mr. Darcy behind her back as a good night farewell.

Mr. Darcy froze in place for a few seconds. If he looked in the mirror now, he would find that his eyes were shining with the same brilliance as Emma's.He secretly retorted in his heart: "That's not true, what you said is the cutest truth I've ever heard."
