[Pride and Prejudice] Sky Bookstore

Miss Skye, who lived near Hyde Park, was a socially unsocial young woman.If a lady doesn't like society, there must be something out of the ordinary.And Skye's problems are known to almost everyone on the street - she has a minor brother who will inherit the title in the future.

For this younger brother, the young and beautiful Miss Skye rejected all affection and lived a life that was not appropriate for her age.

But this is always changed by the presence of a certain man, and the young girl ends up falling in love.This is the consensus reached by all.After all, that’s how it’s described in novels, isn’t it?

It's just a matter of time.

After attending Mrs. Rose's banquet, Skye was entangled by such a man in the eyes of outsiders.

The gentleman who brought flowers to the door is an acquaintance.

Of course it was not Darcy, but Wickham, the servant by his side.

The butler followed Skye's instructions and would not receive any guests easily.The only two members of the Holt family lived solitary lives.

Ordinary strangers can be dismissed with a few words.But this time this one seemed to be well-spoken and had a pleasant demeanor.He kept saying that he was Miss Skye's admirer, and he looked very familiar. After asking Skye for instructions, the housekeeper put him in the house suspiciously.

Skye allowed Wickham into her domain for the second time.She had been impressed by Wickham's late-night visit, a servant who was dissatisfied with his position and had ulterior motives.

Skye knew the man's ins and outs.But she shouldn't have known him before he introduced himself.

At the beginning, Skye put on a puzzled expression and asked hesitantly, "Excuse me... are you...?"

Wickham's eyes lit up when he saw Skye. His expression was completely from the expression of seeing a loved one. He excitedly walked to Skye's side, and the very aggressive smell of perfume invaded Skye. Kay's sense of smell.Skye took half a step back uncomfortably, but did not completely escape from his enveloping range.

"I'm just a trivial admirer." Wickham said to Skye abruptly.

—He is just out of money.

Skye rolled her eyes, and she completed the gentleman's remarks in her mind.She didn't know when Wickham targeted her, but what was confirmed was that the young lady who was targeted by Mr. Wickham could not escape the fate of being defrauded of money and sex in the end.

It can be said that Mr. Wickham, who was just playing around seven years ago, has really done a lot of outrageous things in these years.This can be seen from his increasingly proficient methods.

"Admirer...?" Skye put on a suspicious gesture.

She happily echoed Wickham's remarks.Zuo Zuo didn't have too many things to do recently, and it would be good to have some fun to vent his anger on Darcy.

"Yes..." Wickham saw Miss Skye from a distance in Mrs. Rose's banquet.

He has always speculated about what happened to Skye in the town, but Darcy's strict defense made him never have the opportunity to verify it.The only thing that is certain is that the man who reads "Symposium" late at night is definitely not a very decent guy.It was also very suspicious that Darcy liked to stay with this kind of person so much.

Another argument to support his point of view is that Darcy has not been rumored to have an affair with any girl in these years.

A rich young master is not the type who is as pure as a piece of paper, how could there be no romantic news at all!

Although outsiders say that Darcy is a clean and honest gentleman, Wickham has always hidden a terrible guess in his heart.If Darcy can't let go of the original Skye... This can also explain why he treats the new Skye so strangely.

The same name and surname is a wonderful coincidence.

First of all, Miss Skye's family is quite affluent, she has no relationship experience before, and her only younger brother is hardly a threat.

Secondly, if the lady fell in love, it would also make Darcy sad.If Darcy really had something wrong in his mind, he would be very sad to see a person with the same name and surname as that person strayed into....

With all kinds of bad thoughts in mind, Wickham stood in front of Skye and described his love at first sight for her at the banquet very attentively.

"What's your occupation?" Skye interrupted him impatiently.

In terms of rhetoric, his literary talent is definitely not as good as Shakespeare's. Those crude quotations... or the use of Shakespeare's sonnets are actually still within the tolerable range.What makes Skye unacceptable is that there is no central idea in the whole confession, especially the one about her description, which seems beautiful enough, but as long as you have a clear mind, you should understand that this dialogue can be used for all ladies.

Although she is so disgusted, Skye also knows very well that if she is really a simple young lady who only cares about taking care of her younger brother, she will be deceived.

Passive likes active, this is a truth in the world of love.

Wickham was taken aback by Skye's sudden interruption.

"I'm just an ordinary garrison, but my feelings for you are sincere enough...so that I can't help it..."

"But..." Skye paused with an ignorant expression, and frowned slightly.This reaction of hers calmed Wickham's mind a little.

He simply relied on the rumors that Skye was away and thought that this lady was a very easy character to deal with.Usually, if he wanted to pursue a young lady, he would at least find a referrer, but this time he was really hasty... Skye's reaction made him feel that he had the possibility of failure.

At least don't be too embarrassing - that way there's another chance next time.

Wickham had the idea of ​​retreating as soon as he met him.But Skye said to him in a leisurely manner: "I think you must be very handsome when you are wearing a red uniform. It is really a pity."

"It's really easy. If this is your wish, I will definitely dress properly when I come next time." Seeing that things had turned around, Wickham regarded Skye as the kind of restrained Some slow lady.

He hastily agreed to Skye's small proposal.And reserved for myself the next opportunity to come to the door.

During the conversation, Elsie came back from school.Accompanying him was his governess.

Elsie was nothing like his older sister in terms of studies, and Skye was good at everything to do with literature from an early age.But getting Elsie to write a sonnet is really hard work.The young man has been struggling with a thesis for a long time recently. He was dejected and thinking about it day and night, but he didn't gain much.

Skye watched him type one line and delete two lines in front of the typewriter, so he just looked at it and didn't want to help him.

"Hey!" In Elsie's impression, there were no male guests at home.Even if Skye's agent would sit for a while sometimes, Skye's attitude would not be so kind.

I always feel... that my sister is planning something.

Elsie glanced at Wickham timidly. This man was quite handsome, and he was not the same type as the Mr. Darcy he saw at the banquet that day.Probably not the type of sister, so Skye is just perfunctory?

"Hi, I'm Wickham, your sister's...friend. You're Elsie, Skye's younger brother." Wickham spoke first.

Elsie's appearance is really not very vigilant.What's more, before he was an adult, Skye was the main thing in everything, and whether his life was good or not depended on Skye's happiness.

Although Skye loves Elsie very much now, things may not be visible in the future.

The money was in her hands, and there was plenty of leeway to do whatever Elsie wanted to do until she came of age.

"Ah!" Elsie just uttered some simple syllables in a very useless manner.He pouted and nodded to the guest unwillingly.

Fortunately, Wickham left soon after.

Skye saw him to the door himself, and watched him ride off the street in front of his own.Elsie stood next to Skye, who was devastated to see the very gossiping neighbor across the way watching all this from the window.That said, word that Skye has a suitor should be circulating the streets pretty soon.

Elsie pulled the corner of Laskai's clothes pitifully, pretending to be wronged and said, "You don't really want to find me a brother-in-law, do you?"

Skye just took him by the hand and walked back into the living room.

She made Elsie sit on the sofa and sat across from him.Ask Elsie with a serious face: "You should look at the problem more deeply, obviously I am just teasing that guy. But if you have been so unobservant, I will consider sending you to a boarding school Already!"

"But···"

"Don't be with me. It may not be the right thing for me to keep you by my side. If I had made up my mind to let you live in school, your grammar wouldn't be so bad. The gentleman who came to the door is not a noble person My guy, then you can also observe his way of life, instead of thinking that everyone looks good!" Skye is used to arranging everything well, and she doesn't like to leave anything unsatisfactory. Obvious hidden danger.

There were many omissions when the bookstore caught fire. After all, I was still young at that time... chaotic.After Skye has the ability, he will gradually erase all the hidden dangers.

And this time—accepting Wickham's pursuit along the way, it can be regarded as avenging Darcy's sister.

There really wasn't much she could do for Darcy, and if that was one thing, why not?

Wickham was not seen for some time after this farewell.

Elsie waited patiently every day for this Mr. Skye called "wrongdoing".Desperately wanted to see him again, to see what was wrong with him, to get so many derogatory adjectives from Skye.

But the gentleman disappeared for five or six days.It really made him take this matter to heart.

Skye just watched his younger brother run to open the mailbox every day, or stand at the door whenever there was any trouble.

I believe it would be very interesting if Wickham knew that his skill of flirting with girls would finally be applied to a teenage boy.

"When is he coming! Skye, aren't you worried?"

Elsie turned her head and saw her sister sitting comfortably on the sofa in front of the campfire, with a blanket on her knees.She turned over a thin page and clicked on it with her fingers, as if she came across a passage she liked.

Skye raised his eyebrows and glanced at Elsie: "Don't worry. He will come within seven or eight days. Since today's weather is bad, it should be today."

Elsie looked disbelieving.He couldn't think of anyone who would come to the door when the weather was bad.

"Do not believe?"

"Of course. You have known him for such a short time, how can you be sure about this kind of thing?" Elsie shook her head like a rattle.

While the siblings were talking, the butler came in and reported, "Miss Skye, that gentleman is here again."

Elsie's eyes widened from Skye to the butler.He realized that the gentleman was Wickham.

When Wickham entered the living room with flowers and a smile, wearing a bright red uniform that stings people's eyes, Skye put down his book and greeted him with a smile, blushing.Our poor Elsie has only one idea...

——Did Wickham not know that he had been designed by Skye when he was chatting with Skye... This... Wickham is really worthy of sympathy.What an enmity between Skye and him!
