[Pride and Prejudice] Sky Bookstore
Chapter 54
The crystal ball fell on the carpet, but luckily it didn't break.Instead, the shopkeeper standing at the counter said 'Ahhh' and broke out in a cold sweat out of thin air.
Everyone in the store turned their attention to the counter.Georgiana saw Anwen standing by the counter, staring at her.
Anwen's affectionate eyes were just strange sights in Georgiana's eyes.She frowned slightly, and hid behind Mr. Darcy.
Skye has seen some clues.
She was indeed a little surprised by the object of Anwen's love at first sight.Thinking about it carefully, I feel that this is a matter of course.
There were not many people in London who were kinder, gentler, and more beautiful than Georgiana.What's more, Georgiana still has a feeling of fragility after her feelings are broken.She hides it very well, and even makes this shortcoming very artistic.
Skye is a woman who would want to get closer to Georgiana, let alone talk about Anwen.
-Men are visual creatures.
Thinking of this, Skye looked up at Darcy.
Darcy's complexion was not very good-looking.It didn't take him much time to digest the whole thing.Skye's brother is what his sister calls a 'strange person'.He always thought that An Wen acted frivolously, and it was not surprising that he did such a thing.The so-called gift of perfume bottles probably doesn't have much real emotion, it should just be a temporary joke.
"This is my brother, Unwin Holt. This is Mr. Darcy's sister, Georgiana."
Skye stood in the middle and introduced the two of them.She emphasized the words 'brother' and 'sister'.I hope there will be less embarrassment between Anwen and Georgiana.
After hearing this introduction, Georgiana did relax her eyebrows.She didn't expect Skye's legendary brother to be such a strange person, but since she was an acquaintance, she relaxed her guard.
Instead, it was Anwen, who didn't listen to Skye's introduction at all.His eyes were still fixed on Georgiana, as if he was about to rush over.
"You guys! . . . My God!"
The shopkeeper came out from behind the counter with a pale face. He pushed Anwen who was standing in front of him in a daze, and bent down to carefully look for the crystal ball.
It is a relief that there are no large water stains and imaginary debris on the carpet.The shopkeeper didn't dare to relax completely, he bent down cautiously and looked around for traces of the crystal ball.He didn't even bother to pay attention to whether he was in a state of embarrassment, nor did he care to pay enough respect to the distinguished guests.
Skye watched his brother stand between the shopkeeper and the crystal ball like a big obstacle, and his attention was probably all on Georgiana, just like the shopkeeper's attention was on the crystal ball.
Skye shook his head helplessly.She stretched out her hand and waved it in front of Anwen, and said to him shamelessly, "You've recovered! You seem to have dropped something expensive just now!"
"Maybe this is the price that love needs to pay." Anwen accepted Skye's ridicule very casually.
The disgust of the words he said made Skye gasp in admiration.But Fan Daxi had talked to her like this before... probably not anymore.
"But you need to lose money now..."
"Ah! It's over! Everything is over!" The shopkeeper finally found the crystal ball on the ground during the conversation between Skye and Anwen.A scream from him interrupted Skye's words.The sadness in his voice is like that of someone who has lost a loved one.
"It's okay. I will ask Anwen to compensate you for all the losses."
Skye comforted the shopkeeper. She glanced at Anwen and motioned him to say something too.At least don't keep acting like an idiot in front of Georgiana.Then no one can help him.
Anwen just woke up like a dream.He nodded, apologetically expressing his willingness to compensate the corresponding arrears.They all know that the price of this crystal ball must be expensive.In fact, the ball was lucky enough not to break when it fell, but because it was round enough, it hit the corner of the wall after rolling around.
"You can't afford to pay for this thing! This is ordered by the Earl, and there are only two in London, and one of them is already in the court!"
The owner stumbled up from the ground.When a good Christmas is approaching, he will offend the Earl because he cannot present this formal gift.
Skye glanced at the debris not far away with a subtle expression.
"I really didn't expect that the Earl would still be interested in collecting these small objects."
Unlike Mr. Darcy's running the manor, the Holt family was born with a sensitive hobby close to the political center.There are three rich and powerful adults in London who live up to the title of duke. Skye knows each of them well, and was lucky enough to sign a contract with one of them a few weeks ago.
Knowing that an acquaintance ordered something, Skye was somewhat relieved.
"My lord earl is going to dedicate this to the prince!" the shopkeeper added panting.And the prince wanted to use this thing to please his mistress, which is why he was so sure after the crystal ball was broken that it would anger the powerful.
"Since it's so expensive, you shouldn't be leaving this thing on the counter."
"The businessman who transferred this to me said that this crystal ball should always be placed in a place where there is light!"
"Then you probably have to thank Anwen for smashing your crystal ball." Skye looked at the position of the counter, the sunlight outside was just right, and the carpet where the crystal ball reflected the sunlight had already turned black.
"Skye!" Georgiana tugged on Lasky's sleeve.She was less impressed with Skye.And began to think that Skye was trying to excuse his brother.
People in the upper class generally have the bad qualities of shirking responsibility and condescending.The son is pretentious, and the ladies only know how to dress up. If someone she knows shows this quality, Georgiana refuses to make friends with them.
"Georgianna." Darcy whispered his sister's name.He also saw scorched marks on the ground.Although the shopkeeper wipes the things frequently because of their precious things, once he makes a mistake, the clothing store he runs will be burned down.
The building structures of this street are all made of wood. Once the fire burns, the damage caused is so great that no one wants to bear it.When the Sky Bookstore was on fire, there were small alleys on both sides, which served as a good partition.
Skye's original approach did not lead to any disastrous ending.But Darcy has kept enough vigilance over the years about things related to flames.The candlesticks in the manor have also been modified and processed one after another. The servants carefully paid attention to the details, causing a fire.This is all the sequelae Skye left him.
"The crystal ball will catch fire if it stays in the light for too long."
Darcy whispered something in Georgiana's ear.He didn't want any misunderstanding between Skye and his sister.Similarly, because he knew that Anwen was the adopted son of the Duke, Mr. Darcy didn't think it was necessary for Anwen to shirk his responsibility.
Skye looked at Mr. and Mrs. Darcy's family with a half-smile and exchanged a few 'whisper words'.She noticed that the shopkeeper was about to faint from nervousness, and continued to comfort him a little: "It's not your fault either. First pay for the clothes I bought, and the rest will be on Anwen's head. Don't worry about it."
Hearing that someone took the responsibility, the owner's expression became a little more relaxed.But he still looked at Skye with some hesitation, as if what he said after confirmation would scare Skye away: "But the earl and the prince are coming to pick up things soon!"
Almost following the shopkeeper's words, a carriage stopped at the door of the shop, and two well-dressed gentlemen walked in together.
Earl Morgan recognized Skye, and he showed a slightly startled expression.
Skye replied with a smile, but felt very helpless in his heart.She knew that the other party's surprise was partly because she had never shown her feminine side.The previous business dealings made the other party's impression of himself as a poor person who is ambitious but also trapped by his family and needs to raise a younger brother.
Skye has packaged himself as a person who neglects to take care of himself on every level, and further hints at this from the clothing and collocation.
Now catch Earl Morgan and let him see her shopping.Moreover, he immediately showed the posture of a shopaholic. Such a contrast would of course make people stunned.
How many people would think she is a shopaholic today! ——Skye really wanted to stomp his feet and left directly.
"Miss Skye?!"
"Good day, Earl Morgan." Skye saluted. She noticed that the Earl's clothes today, brand new clothes and the most popular designs, undoubtedly showed his financial strength.With the beginning of the cooperation between the two parties, Holt was not the only one who made a lot of money, and the earl also regained its former glory.
"I really didn't expect..." The earl glanced at Skye, he admired Skye's outfit very much, but he soon remembered to introduce the man who was traveling with him: "We met just right, this is His Royal Highness. There are not too many opportunities to see him on weekdays."
The prince absently accepted Skye's courtesy.His golden head is as bright as gold, but his arrogance is obviously more disgusting than the rumors say.
"Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy. Miss Georgiana Darcy." The prince called out the names of the two Darcys accurately.He seemed to only see the person he wanted to see, "We haven't seen each other since the last banquet. The memory of Miss Darcy's performance is unforgettable for me."
Skye watched the farce with cold eyes.While the prince showed her neglect, her expression also changed from sincere to indifferent.There is no need to fall into the flattery and humble routine because of the opponent's power, not to mention that there are at least a dozen heirs in front of the prince. Unless London falls from a natural disaster, there is nothing wrong with this prince.
The cold reception Skye received was as expected by the Earl.But he's still embarrassed that his introduction wasn't taken seriously enough.The prince's arrogance is unbearable... Really...
Everyone is slandering in their hearts, but no one has ever lost.
Anwen stood in the shadows and watched, his position was almost level with the clothes hanger, so that at the first glance, both the earl and the prince missed his existence.
At this time, he moved to Skye's side and whispered to Skye: "Ah! Our famous idiot prince. His actual status is not as touching as he shows. If you are not happy, we have a way to let him Embarrassment... The premise is that you are not a person loyal to the royal family, right?"
Skye heard the familiar Anwin taunt.She suppressed a smile, covered her mouth with her hand, and replied in a low voice: "Of course I am not, and I am very much looking forward to your killing all directions."
The two brothers and sisters finally remembered to lower their voices in front of the person involved.
With the Darcy brothers and sisters in front of them biting the bullet and being courteous to the prince, the two members of the Holt family laughed happily.
"Five dollars. If you get rid of this annoying idiot prince, Georgiana's opinion of you will change." Skye listened to the politeness of the prince and Darcy and became courteous.
It is not impossible for the prince to marry Georgiana.It's just that it's impossible for Darcy to entrust his sister to a man who secretly has countless mistresses.
If Anwen also joined the battle, it would be a good show.
Skye blinked, and gave Mr. Darcy a regretful look while Darcy was talking to the prince.
Skye had investigated Anwen's identity before, but the result of many inquiries was that he was only the Duke's adopted son, and his status was outstanding.It is said to have a good position in the government.But Skye has seen the paperwork that Anwen left behind, and Anwen left it on purpose, just to convey a message to his sister - there are many things he can solve, and Skye can live bolder.
"Are you serious?"
"Of course. Georgiana is getting impatient. You rescued the beauty and asked for kisses under the mistletoe!"
Skye said casually.
When Anwen heard this, he stopped to chat with Skye, and strode towards the prince.
Everyone in the store turned their attention to the counter.Georgiana saw Anwen standing by the counter, staring at her.
Anwen's affectionate eyes were just strange sights in Georgiana's eyes.She frowned slightly, and hid behind Mr. Darcy.
