Dear Mr. Darcy [Pride and Prejudice]

Chapter 81. Some follow-up

Life is not a novel, a marriage proposal is not an ending, but another beginning.

Emma gently lifted Mr. Darcy to his feet.Those nervousness, surprise and ecstasy were all left in the garden just now, and now both of them are filled with a peaceful happiness in their hearts.

Compared to Mr. Darcy, Charlie is more likely to be the one who successfully proposes.His eyes were extraordinarily bright with joy, and the excitement made him forget that something was wrong, and he sent his heartfelt blessings again. "That's great, Fitzwilliam. I always thought you were going to be single for the rest of your life. You will be happy, you lucky fellow." At the end, Charlie showed a little envy.He always thought that he would find his lover before his friends (in a sense, he was right, but the fate of the world turned a corner the moment Emma opened her eyes).Now my friend has successfully proposed marriage, but he has not yet touched Miss Jane's heart. Miss Jane treats him no differently than anyone else, and Catherine still does not support him as always. If you want to go hand in hand with the girl you love , he will redouble his efforts.

Compared with Emma, ​​Georgiana is more like the one who was successfully proposed.She gently took Emma's hand, and smiled at her blushing. "We will be a family in the future." Georgiana's joy is double. On the one hand, she is happy for her brother. Emma is so good, and her brother likes her so much. Her brother must be very happy to live together in the future.On the other hand, she is also happy for herself.Although her brother is very kind to her, but his personality is a bit colder, and she will inevitably feel a little boring when she stays alone in Bloomberg.From now on, she can be with Emma every day.Go for a walk together in the morning, read a book together in the morning, in the afternoon she chooses beautiful clothes for Emma, ​​and then invites Emma to be a model to practice painting, and listens to Emma telling stories in the evening, or she reads to Emma.Yes, in the imagination of the little angel Georgiana, if her elder brother married Emma back, it would be considered as a fulfillment of his wish, and he could earn money to support the family. She was the one who was with Emma every day.Emma touched two handfuls of the little angel's soft curly hair with a smile.

George acted as if Mr. Darcy had proposed to him, his expression changing from disbelief to clouded.But he immediately thought that as Emma's most important brother, his blessing was very important to Emma.Emma must be very sad not to have the blessing of her dear brother.George tried to pull the corners of his mouth up a few degrees. "Okay, Mr. Darcy, Fitzwilliam, my future family." He wanted to say brother-in-law, but he tried hard and still didn't say it. "I have something to say to you."

Mr. Darcy had been prepared for this.As a friend of George's, he knew that George didn't like any man who might take his sister away from him.In order to get George to nod smoothly, Mr. Darcy also specially prepared how to deal with questions from his future wife's parents.No one could tell from Mr. Darcy's expressionless face that he was nervous, but Mr. Darcy was indeed a little nervous.George is Emma's most important family member, and he hopes to be recognized by George.

Emma made no comment, but gave each of her two most important men of the eighteenth century a smile.

George and Mr. Darcy have different understandings of Emma's behavior.In George's view, Emma didn't speak, indicating that she had no objection to her brother's questioning session, giving him a smile that he could ask questions casually, and giving Mr. Darcy a sign that Mr. Darcy should explain the question honestly.In Mr. Darcy's view, Emma's silence is a respect for her brother, but Emma did not stand idly by.The smile for him was encouraging, the smile for George was a plea to his brother not to make things difficult.

So what is Emma's real thinking?In fact, both men were only half right.Emma knew that if she made a request, George would definitely restrain himself, but George wanted to talk to Mr. Darcy because of her consideration. It would hurt George's heart to favor Mr. Darcy in front of everyone, so let George be happy once. .And the innocent Mr. Darcy also needs encouragement in the face of the coming storm.That's where the two smiles came from.I have to say that Emma is really the essence of dealing with the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law deeply.

The atmosphere between the two contented men eased a lot.George made a gesture of invitation to Mr. Darcy with a sense of the superiority of a winner. Mr. Darcy changed his usual style, took a step behind meekly, and followed behind George.

Charlie stepped aside and asked the maid to ask a few words, and then said that he would also excuse me.Georgiana and Emma thought at the same time of a question, of which Miss Catherine was not yet aware.Emma caught Georgiana's expression becoming a little unnatural from the corner of her eye, and quickly said that she wanted to go back to the bedroom with Georgiana to have some private conversations between ladies, and asked Charlie to go his own way.It was an open secret that Miss Catherine liked Mr. Darcy.Everyone knows it well, but it's not very good to show it.

Charlie noticed anyway, and sighed inwardly.He had some regrets, knowing that Mr. Darcy had no affection for his sister, and he did not stop her.After Emma and Georgiana went back to the bedroom holding hands, Charlie was about to go upstairs when a servant came over with a letter and handed it to him respectfully.Charlie tore it open and glanced at it, his casual expression became serious.He read it twice, and went straight to Miss Catherine's bedroom.

Miss Catherine was frowning and writing a letter when there was a knock at the door. "Who's outside?" She told the maid not to disturb her if she had nothing to do.Then the one who will knock on her door is probably

"It's me." Sure enough, her stupid brother's voice came from outside the door.

Catherine opened the door with a straight face. "Dear Charlie, 20 years ago when you knocked on the door I would have warmly invited you in, had the maid bring you dessert, and told you stories. Now, all I can say is, I can't invite you in. If anything happens, I will Let's talk at the door."

Of course, Charlie couldn't say it at the door, it would be too embarrassing for others to hear what he said next. "How about we go for a walk in the garden?"

Miss Catherine was keenly aware of her brother's expression. "Well, let's hope it doesn't take too long."

Charlie racked his brains along the way, sweating on his brow, and still didn't know how to say the least harm to his sister.

Instead it was Miss Catherine who spoke first. "Mr. Darcy succeeded in his proposal?"

"Ah." Charlie was taken aback and uttered a dry syllable that he didn't know whether it was affirmative or negative.

That was a definite enough answer for Miss Catherine.Her heart sank suddenly.Although she had been prepared for so long, Miss Catherine still found it difficult to maintain her peace of mind that her ideal partner would spend her whole life with someone else.The only thing she can do is keep a straight face and maintain her dignity. "Oh, well. This is expected. I mean, their eyes are almost glued together every day. Who wouldn't know their feelings." Miss Catherine found this sentence after she finished speaking Not very appropriate, hastily added a sentence. "bless them."

"Sister." Mr. Charlie carefully hugged Miss Catherine.He wanted to tell Miss Catherine that she didn't have to say those things against her will in front of him, but Miss Catherine was always proud and refused to show weakness even in front of him.The result of saying such words is probably not that the siblings complained to each other, but hurt Miss Catherine who was already struggling.He swore to Miss Catherine with a solemnity never before seen. "I will surely find you a gentleman who will treat you wholeheartedly."

Miss Catherine pushed Charlie away with an unnatural expression. "Say something stupid."
