[Pride and Prejudice] Sky Bookstore

All of Anwen's actions made Skye feel very uneasy.He began intensive preparations for his engagement ceremony.The other participant in the engagement ceremony was a long-standing dignitary in London. The relationship between the other party and the Duke of Ante had always been at odds. This time, using his second daughter in his family to marry Anwen was also a way to give Ante a good look.

Skye carefully checked all the information she could find related to that family.She found a very interesting phenomenon, that is, the reason why the other party was able to fight against the Duke for such a long time without being defeated was not only the precise grasp of the timing, but also the determination of the other party to cut off the wrists of a strong man.

In the past 20 years, every time something happened and couldn't be solved, the family would not hesitate to use the direct descendants of the family as scapegoats.

It is also for this reason that although the family emblem is a cheetah running on the grassland, in private, everyone still likes to say that they are salamanders.

Anwen had previously helped the Duke attack his hostile forces.He and this family used to be enemies, but at this time they became friends.It was difficult for Skye to convince himself not to worry too much. If Anwen did this, if something went wrong, the other party would push him out without hesitation.

But there seems to be no other better way.

The venue for Anwen's wedding was chosen at one of his mansions in London.It is also the place where it is said that Biscay's family played a lot.

He handles all the furniture re-selection and matching by himself, and as his sister, Skye has no more choices.

Not only that, since yesterday morning, Anwen has made a big decoration for Skye's villa by the way.

Skye originally wanted to stop him, but thinking that this might be the last time, he couldn't say anything to stop him.

She watched Anwen spread red carpets in every corridor in the house, no matter how wide or narrow it was.The carpet even has a slightly pungent smell because the production cycle is too close.

"This is not your wedding venue, and winter is about to pass. Are you sure you want to decorate like this?" Skye asked the same question again and again.

But Anwen always has a way to appease her. The various reasons he fabricated can almost write an encyclopedia.In the end, there was no other way, Skye could only let Anwen operate by himself.

The only two untouched rooms in the room were the bedrooms of Skye and Anwen.

Although there was a lot of movement inside the house, if one looked from the outside, there was hardly any clue.All deliveries of goods and furniture are done in the dead of night.The outside world only knew that An Wen had proposed to the daughter of a noble family, and the rumors and rumors that had been swirling before even came to a brief pause because of his behavior.

Mr. Darcy naturally didn't know that Skye's home was being renovated.

He kept thinking about what Skye had said, that she wanted a man playing the violin under her window.

It sounded absurd, Darcy thought about the feasibility of doing so, and finally confirmed that Skye just wanted to test the suitor's courage.He believes that if this kind of behavior is used to pursue his future wife, and there is a certain amount of determination and confidence, it is not too absurd.

Although Darcy didn't say anything, he actually always cared about Anwen saying that he was much older than Skye.Since Skye gave a hint this time, he felt that he had to operate a charter.

And this time point must be properly handled.Mr. Darcy invited a violinist, and focused on tutoring his violin skills.

——As a gentleman, it is natural to master some musical instruments proficiently.Piano is a must. Darcy also learned how to play other instruments with his tutor when he was a child.Things that used to be used only to cultivate sentiment, now have the opportunity to be used.

Mr. Darcy specially chose a day when Anwen was away.He stood under Anwen's window sill, wearing a tuxedo with his butler's expression on his face, and began to play a piece of music.

When the music played, Joanna was dealing with some details of work.The matter of the Duke caused many of her partners to give up cooperation. They would rather renege on the contract than have any business exchanges with Skye.As if the duke's mood was an important yardstick for them.

The departure of these people allowed Skye to get a large amount of liquidated damages, but she had no physical goods on hand to pay, and the flow of funds was hindered, which made it necessary for her to find a new partner for a period of time.

"Who's playing music in the street?" Skye recognized some well-known Spanish piece that she had heard in Elsie's appreciation class.She couldn't call out her name for a while, which shows that she is not the omniscient type. "Playing at a decent level, ask him what he wants, give him that and let him go."

Skye's words made her maid's brow sweat.She has worked here for a long time at Skye, and she still knows this Mr. Darcy who often visits.

This is no street performer.It is impossible to get rid of serious suitors directly.

But it's hard for the maid to say such things, she hesitated for a long time and refused to move.When Skye is working, her temper is not very good. If an order is not handled satisfactorily, she will say very harsh words.When the maid thought of this, she wanted to cry without tears.

Fortunately, the butler came in in time at this time and explained to Skye what happened outside.

"You'd better go out and see. It's Mr. Darcy playing music downstairs."

"What!" Skye froze for a moment.She raised her head from the document, and her first reaction was: "Anwen isn't here?"

The sound of the violin downstairs is still coming up, and the tune has changed from classic to cheerful.Skye sat in a chair and listened for a while, and she found herself unable to stop thinking about what it was like for Darcy to play downstairs.

As long as she starts to imagine, her mind is full of pictures and scenes in the novel "Mr. Charles".

From the housekeeper's point of view, it was Skye who was restless for a while, and finally heeded the call of his heart and went downstairs.

"Skye, wait a minute." The butler stopped Skye in time.Young people are always a little foolish when they are in love, no matter how tight Skye is at work, and no matter how steady and reliable that Mr. Darcy is in front of people.At this time, each of them chose the worst way to show their favor, just like children, naive can be.

Someone has to take control of the situation.The butler regarded Skye as his own child, and pointed to Anwen's room helplessly, "You can talk to him upstairs first."

That way you won't be too passive.

Skye nodded knowingly.It was rare to look at the butler with a look of 'that makes sense', which made the latter feel helpless.

Darcy, who was singing downstairs, was playing the violin. When he heard the sound of the window on the second floor being pushed open, his hand shook and he played a short section by mistake.He almost thought that it was Anwen who was listening upstairs... If that was the case, it would be a disaster.

Fortunately, it was Skye who poked his head out.Darcy looked up at Skye, and found sadly that he couldn't remember what part he just played.

He stopped short, and shouted to Skye from downstairs, "Do you think I'm playing well?"

On the street where people come and go, curious people have even stopped to watch.Skye's previous vision did not include this warm and cheerful Mr. Darcy.She never thought that this gentleman would put himself in such an environment, and as the crowd started booing, the atmosphere almost reached its peak.

At least at this moment, Skye temporarily forgot all the troubles she encountered, and happily accepted everything Darcy did for her.

Anwen receives an invitation that shouldn't be there at the inopportune time.The invitation came from his adoptive father, the Duke of Ant.There was no extra politeness in the letter, just the simplest time and place, just saying that he hoped he could come over once.

He made all kinds of guesses, but found himself never able to communicate his opinions to anyone.The time Ante gave him to think was actually not long, it was just a double-choice question, to go or not to go.

Anwen quickly made a decision. Before he left, he wrote a letter explaining his whereabouts. He put the letter on the desk and ordered the driver to take him to the predetermined location.

Anwen, who was sitting in the carriage, was still torn between going or not.He knows that he still has the right to choose until he arrives at the appointed place.

But until the destination, Anwen didn't tell the driver to turn around.

Ante does not cultivate in his main house.Probably even he himself thought it was too impersonal, or there was some other reason.Anwen saw this old man he was familiar with but unfamiliar in a comfortable small living room.

The windows of the room were all shut, thick flannels blocking out the outside light.Anwen's adoptive father lay there, as if he had stepped into the grave early.The air is filled with the smell of this herbal medicine.

When seeing this scene, it was obvious that it was just a trick, but Anwen's heart was still full of melancholy.

He walked up to the curtains, pulled them aside, and opened the windows at the same time to circulate the stagnant air in the room.
