Before the sun had fully come out, a slender figure crept along at the gate of Netherfield.

Since her objection was ineffective, or she had no face to object at all, Annie planned to recruit powerful foreign aid to deal with the strange decision of the two cousins ​​who wanted to fight.The only candidate she could think of was Elizabeth. Although they didn't intend to hide that Chen Cang was engaged, Anne could see Darcy's performance of worrying about gains and losses. Elizabeth was enough to have a huge influence on Darcy, making him change his mind and say indefinite.As long as Darcy changed his mind, Colonel Fitzwilliam naturally didn't have to take the risk of being a deputy.

Annie doesn't want the person she likes to be in danger, even if she is a sidekick, there is no danger.

Swords and guns have no eyes, this is not a joke.

She lifted the hem of her skirt and was about to rush out the door, when suddenly someone stopped her: "Annie, what are you going out for so early?"

It's Colonel Fitzwilliam, it's not good to be caught by anyone, but he was caught. Anne can lie and cover up naturally in front of other people, but she can't be sure to brag perfectly in front of the colonel. This is the disadvantage of having a crush on someone.

And in comparison, Mr. Darcy is a real honest boy, but Colonel Fitzwilliam is not. Anne subconsciously thinks that he is much smarter than Darcy.This is not surprising, the youngest son of an earl is looking for rich brides in the marriage market everywhere, and he must be shrewd.

"I'm going out for a walk, Cousin Fitzwilliam," Anne said seriously, "Since I came to this country, I like the good air in the country, so I always go early for my activities. Mom also knows, but she often I can't get up so early, otherwise she said she must be with me."

Pulling Aunt Catherine out, Colonel Fitzwilliam may not always seek evidence for such a trivial issue.

"In that case, I'll accompany you." Colonel Fitzwilliam picked up his coat casually.

Annie had the feeling that she couldn't get away with three tricks under his hands. It seemed like a normal situation. She naturally wished for being alone with the person she liked, but now she was going to sneak out to find Elizabeth. Colonel Fitzwilliam's move was tripped her hands and feet.

But she couldn't say "no".

I had no choice but to hold Colonel Fitzwilliam's arm resignedly, and the two of them walked farther and farther in the field, but the general direction was still towards Longbourn. That's right, Anne secretly rejoiced, wondering if it was possible to get rid of Colonel Fitzwilliam in a while act alone.

The foodie empire does not have this kind of etiquette of pulling and pulling. Anne has never been so intimate with the opposite sex. Thanks to her kinship, she can now hang on Colonel Fitzwilliam's arm.At the beginning, she was full of worries, but she thought about it as she walked, and felt that the arm holding the colonel was like being roasted over a fire. Although everyone was dressed in thick clothes, Anne seemed to be able to see through these things. Feel the colonel's body temperature.

Her face turned red, perhaps because this body was also weak, and even her forehead was dripping with sweat.

"Is the wind too strong in the morning, Anne?" Colonel Fitzwilliam asked with concern, "Your face has been blown red."

Anne smiled wryly: "Maybe it's one mile or it's too far for me. I've only been in Derbyshire for more than half a month, and I'm afraid it's hard to see results. When I return to Kent, I must convince my mother to let me go out for a walk more." , so maybe my body can gradually get stronger."

"But you must be accompanied, Anne," Colonel Fitzwilliam suddenly said surprisingly: "If you are going to visit Miss Elizabeth Bennet, you can take a carriage, why not just because I propose to walk with you?" Dare to tell your true thoughts? Although I have not known the Bennet family for a long time, I can see that Miss Elizabeth is worthy of friendship."

So he deliberately chose the same direction as Longbourn?

Anne felt a little warm in her heart, but even so, she couldn't admit what she wanted to find Elizabeth for. In terms of the dignity of men in this social class in this era, she would turn against you every minute.

So Anne dumped the blame on Elizabeth.

"Because Miss Elizabeth likes to walk very much, I want to learn more about her health and vigor, so I don't want to take a carriage." When Elizabeth was mentioned, Anne immediately thought of an excuse: "Cousin, after you are sent to Longbourn, you can go alone There are five sisters in the Bennet family, maybe I will go to Meryton with them to buy some flowers later."

If you are a man, don't hang out with six little girls.

"I see. You have made friends, Annie, but with my aunt's personality, I'm afraid she doesn't like this family very much. No wonder you want to hide it from others." Colonel Fitzwilliam looked at you with a smile, and Annie couldn't help but smile. Look at his eyes, because those eyes look so good when he smiles: "I think you've become a lot more cheerful since you came to Derbyshire."

Annie had no choice but to be perfunctory: "Probably because the air in the countryside is good."

"The air in Kent must have gotten better recently, which made you bold." Colonel Fitzwilliam immediately beat her back to normal.

Annie was at fault in this matter, so she had to shut up.

Colonel Fitzwilliam noticed that she was pouting a bit angrily, so he changed the subject: "You and Cousin Darcy seem to admire the second lady of the Bennet family, it seems that I also need to visit this family one day .”

Annie's heart skipped a beat, and she pretended to be calm and said, "Miss Elizabeth also has an elder sister who is gentle and considerate, and is a well-known beauty in Derbyshire. The remaining three younger sisters are also lively and lovely, good at piano, reading and dancing, You should pay a visit to this family."

She spoke quickly and urgently, and Colonel Fitzwilliam raised his eyebrows in surprise, but Anne didn't see it.

She doesn't have any intention of hiding Elizabeth's good qualities, but in the original book Colonel Fitzwilliam and Elizabeth get along very well. If it is not for economic reasons, it is difficult to say what he will have in mind for this bright and bright heroine. .Although Annie understands that the official match is a perfect pair, even if Colonel Fitzwilliam puts aside his principles, Elizabeth may not accept his intentions, but when you realize that the person you like has a good impression of others, depression cannot be controlled by reason .

"It's better to hit the sun than choose the day," Colonel Fitzwilliam seemed to have made up his mind: "I can chat with Mr. Bennet, he seems to be a reasonable country gentleman. If you want to go out with the ladies, I will I'll wait for you at Longbourn, and then we'll go back to Netherfield together."

Colonel Fitzwilliam could not be dismissed, so Anne had no choice but to accept her fate. From her point of view, maybe Colonel Fitzwilliam wanted to meet Elizabeth with an excuse.

Because of this, she was in a bad mood, and she hardly spoke in the second half of the journey. As the journey got farther and farther away, her face not only did not continue to flush, but gradually turned pale. Colonel Fitzwilliam naturally noticed it, and he became thoughtful. .

The two arrived at Longbourne not long after.

If it weren't for Anne's presence, Mrs. Bennet would have put on a "not welcome" expression on her face.

A mother of five daughters would certainly not welcome a man without a dime of property.

Annie saw Lydia and Elizabeth together at a glance, like a small animal that just broke its shell, clinging to the first person she saw when she opened her eyes, and also the person she trusted the most.

Jane smiled and said that she was almost jealous.

Mary is playing the piano slowly. Since she was appreciated by the Duchess, she has spent several times more energy on this talent. Although her talent is limited, she is hardworking and studious. Mrs. Bennet often said that Mr. Collins will go out on business in the future At that time, the Duchess could call Mary to talk often because of her piano skills.

Even Kitty seldom found a book and sat reading quietly, occasionally secretly looking up at Colonel Fitzwilliam.

But Colonel Fitzwilliam had more eyes on Elizabeth, and Kitty didn't take it seriously. Her two older sisters were always more popular.

Although Mrs. Bennet called the colonel a "poor guy" in private, it couldn't stop him from being tall and handsome with a good-looking face.

Elizabeth was surprised when she saw Annie, but soon she realized that Annie must have come to her to ask her for help, and she couldn't tell others about it.Otherwise, Colonel Fitzwilliam was with her, so she didn't mean why she was happy at all.

When Colonel Fitzwilliam went to Mr. Bennet's study, Elizabeth immediately took Anne to hide in the conservatory and whispered.

Annie told herself to be fair and not to blame others. Even if Colonel Fitzwilliam kept staring at Elizabeth after entering the door, it was not Elizabeth's fault, as it was in the original book.Moreover, the original book did not explain Miss de Bourgh's whereabouts at the end. When Aunt Catherine dies in old age, don't think she must become a lonely old lady.

As for Colonel Fitzwilliam, it's not that Anne never thought of using her property status to persuade him to accept the marriage, but maybe because he is the person she likes, and as a cousin, she can be called caring and considerate to her, these cold words instead Can't say it.And with such means to force people, the result of her strategy can only end in failure.

Anne cheered up, now was not the time to think about these romantic events, and the two cousins ​​were about to risk their lives, especially Cousin Darcy.If something happened to him, he would be the big sinner who killed the official spouse.Although they are just characters in the book, Anne's conscience cannot allow herself to stay out of the matter, not to mention that the fuse is herself.

"After your family left yesterday, Cousin Darcy asked Wickham for a duel," Anne eagerly grabbed Elizabeth's hand: "Colonel Fitzwilliam is the deputy, Mr. Bingley is the referee, and Mr. Brown and Mr. Collins are the judges." accompanying."

Elizabeth was taken aback: "Why?"

"Because of me." Although Anne was embarrassed, she still chose to tell the truth. Elizabeth had already learned the general idea from Collins, and Anne herself made the cause and effect more clear. Elizabeth did not expect Anne to be so narrow and cruel. .There are some things that a man does to a man, that is the weak prey on the strong, and a woman does to a man, that is an insult to dignity. Wickham became so extreme, maybe it has something to do with Miss Anne's sap.

Elizabeth was worried, but at the same time a little thankful.

She knew Mr. Darcy's little secret.

He went to college with Wickham, whose only interest was said to be bringing women back to school.

But when Mr. Darcy was in the second year of middle school, he liked to go to the street to find someone to punch him.
