Chapter 35: Bad Jokes

Georgiana thought that Emma's two days were an approximation, so on the third day she told Mr. Darcy that she wanted to buy some hair accessories, and Mr. Darcy naturally accompanied her. One of the crystal headbands Emma once complimented her on how good it looks, and Georgiana offered to see Emma on the way home, giving her the headband by the way. Georgiana knew that Mr. Darcy was still worried about Emma, but Mr. Darcy did not think it was appropriate for him to visit, so she only gave Emma a jar of ointment that was said to be very effective in treating allergies in the name of Georgiana, and did not go to see Emma. Georgiana has a good plan, and she can take the opportunity to reassure Mr. Darcy today, and by the way, let Emma and Mr. Darcy have more contact. I didn't expect the timing to be unlucky.

Today, Alwin and Emma officially dissolved their engagement, he had no reason to stay in London, and after the dissolution of the engagement, he proposed goodbye to Emma.

Alvin stood in front of Emma. There were no imaginary hand-in-hand teary-eyed eyes, and given the reason for their dissolution of the engagement, Alvin and Emma now had to stand a few steps away when they spoke.

Emma thought she wouldn't be upset, as the two had officially decided to break off the engagement on the day Alwin returned to her, and the rest of the story was performed for others to see. But I didn't expect to feel sad in my heart, after all, she was a person who had a good feeling, and she had already considered spending this life with him, but she still couldn't get together. Say goodbye today, and it will be difficult to meet in the future.

A few days ago, Alvin had been thinking about what to say to Emma at the end, and he was leaving today without an answer, his apologies and gratitude had been exhausted, and finally he only said, "I'm going alone, I hope you'll be okay in the future." ”

George stood aside with an unhappy expression. According to him, it was good for both of them to leave quietly, so why did he insist on saying goodbye to Emma? What kind of strange farewell word was this?

Emma understood what Alvin was trying to say. Although she had no obligation from the time she decided to dissolve the marriage, Emma still asked a question about adopting Alice: "What do you think is better for Alice?" Alvin did not answer at the time, and now it seems that he has decided to put Alice in a normal family to raise. Emma felt that Alvin had made a wise decision, but she did not comment on it, but said from the bottom of her heart: "I hope you are well in the future." ”

Afraid that Emma would forget it, Alvin repeated it again. "My promise will always be valid, anytime, anywhere. ”

Emma nodded. "I'll remember. ”

Alwyn gave Emma a deep look and turned to leave.

After Alvin walked out of the living room, George asked, "Emma, what did he promise you?"

Emma withdrew her gaze. "You can ask him to help with anything in the future. ”

George elongated his face. "Emma, it's enough for you to have a brother. ”

Emma smiled lightly. "Of course, I'm not going to contact Alvin anymore, he should have a life of his own. It's just that I won't leave with peace of mind if I don't promise him, that's why I say that. ”

Mr. Darcy had just dismounted from his horse when Alwin walked out the door, and the two of them saw each other at the same time, and their faces sank very tacitly.

Mr. Darcy's brows furrowed slightly, although someone at the police station admitted that he found a woman and a little girl to blackmail Elwin, but according to his investigation, Alvin later found a good pair of adoptive parents for the little girl, if the little girl and Alvin had nothing to do with Elwin, Elwin would be so dedicated?

Alwin's gray-blue eyes grew colder. Before the dissolution of the marriage contract is announced, someone can't wait to come and pay their respects?

Georgiana waited for a while and didn't see her brother come to help her, so she poked her head out a little strangely and called, "Brother?" The two men looked at her together, and Georgiana shivered for some reason, feeling as if she was disturbing something. "Uh, sorry. ”

Even if Georgiana said sorry, after such an episode, the two gentlemen would definitely not continue to fight silently with their eyes. Mr. Darcy walked over and helped Georgiana down.

Georgiana was a kind little girl, although Alwin was her brother's rival, seeing that Alwin's face was not very good, she still asked with concern, "Are you okay?"

Alvin was much better with Georgiana, and his voice was softer. "It's okay, I'm here to say goodbye. After saying this, he should have left directly, even if Mr. Darcy was with Emma in the future, it had nothing to do with him, and he also hoped that Emma would have a good home in the future. But Mr. Darcy liked Emma when he and Emma were still engaged, which made him a little displeased. So Alvin didn't get on the horse at once, and said more: "Emma doesn't like me not smiling, maybe it's better to do that." Emma had said a long time ago that he was too boring, and Mr. Darcy was like him, and even if he did, he would not necessarily get his turn Fitzwilliam Darcy.

Georgiana didn't understand what Alwyn meant, thinking that he was very sad and trying to explain himself, and hurriedly comforted: "Such an unfortunate coincidence cannot be changed by man, and you will definitely be able to find your own happiness." ”

This comfort didn't make Alwyn feel better, but he was grateful for Georgiana's kindness. "Thank you for your comfort and goodbye. ”

Erwin got on his horse and left, and Georgiana sighed at his back: "May the Lord bless him, unfortunate man." ”

If Emma, Georgiana, Mr. Darcy, and George were present, it was customary for Georgiana and Emma to sit on one side and whisper, and Mr. Darcy and George to the study or to the other side of the living room to talk about business. Today, Georgiana's intention was to let Mr. Darcy and Emma have more contact, so she pulled Emma to sit with the men.

Although there was no sadness on Emma's face, Alvin came to say goodbye and George was very clear about it, and it was better to talk to Emma about some happy things at this time. "Emma, my cousin has come back from India, and he gave me two parrots that can learn to speak, and now I keep them in Bloomberg and let the housekeeper teach them, and when you come back from London, will you come to Bloomberg to play?"

Emma still has information about Wickham to reveal to Georgiana, who had planned to go to Bloomberg, and she naturally would not refuse the invitation that Georgiana offered. "I also miss the sights and the study at Bloomberg. My brother and I went back to Yorkshire to take care of some things, and then we went to visit Bloomberg. "There was nothing going on in Yorkshire, but George wanted to go back to his sphere of influence and rest for a few days. Emma knew how hard George had worked, and if it hadn't been for the dissolution of the engagement, the two would have returned to Yorkshire.

"No need. "George went back to Yorkshire just because he was too tired to take a two-day break to avoid these troubles, and he could have done it when he went to Bloomberg. "I'll just ask the housekeeper to send me something important, and we can go from London to Bloomberg together. ”

Emma half-jokingly said, "Brother, you shouldn't be a horse who feels sorry for us, right?"

George laughed: "You can see it." ”

Mr. Darcy suddenly said, "If you want to make it easier for the horse, George can hold his luggage." ”

A cold wind blew, silent, silent, silent.

Finally, Emma reacted and laughed as naturally as possible with her superb acting skills: "Hahaha is really funny." At the same time, he patted Georgiana's hand lightly and winked at George.

It dawned on George. "Ahaha, yes, yes, hahaha. ”

Georgiana also covered her mouth and laughed dryly.

Emma was embarrassed by George's flamboyant acting skills and glared at him cryptically. "If I'm not mistaken, it's a fable. ”

Mr. Darcy struggled to mobilize the muscles on his face in an attempt to give a gentle smile. "Yes. ”

Emma shuddered. She must have remembered wrong, Mr. Darcy was too embarrassed to say that he would remind her with such a strange expression, right?

In order to cover up his mistake just now, George said loudly: "I didn't expect Fitzwilliam to still be a humorous person. ”

As if encouraged by George's words, Mr. Darcy told three jokes in the ensuing conversation, the kind that were so cold that one couldn't laugh at all, and the kind that didn't fit the context so much that it would make people feel embarrassed and phobic. Emma's whole person is going to be bad, while laughing hard, she glared at George, can't you just say that you don't know if you praise her!

George also regretted that he had said something he should not have said, but he could not take it back after the words had been spoken, so he had to take Mr. Darcy to the study to get down to business in order to make up for his mistake.

Georgiana was also not well, and her hands were in favor of George taking Mr. Darcy away. She was confused and hated that iron could not be made of steel, Mr. Darcy usually had no hobby of telling jokes, why was it so abnormal today? I had wanted him to get in touch with Emma more to get Emma's favor, but now it seemed that the atmosphere would freeze if he didn't leave.

The cold air shifted to the study, and both Emma and Georgiana felt a lot more relaxed. But today seems destined not to have a harmonious and pleasant conversation, and Miss Daisy, who had been visiting in the afternoon, has arrived, and has been followed by a guest whom no one expected, Miss Emily.

Emma and Miss Emily didn't have much to do with each other, she used to go to the men's side with George, and this year there have been a lot of problems, she didn't show up at the ball much, although she followed Georgiana to the ladies to chat, but she didn't meet Miss Emily very often. Emma felt that this young lady had a bit of a feminist tendency, many of her views hit the nail on the head, and she also had a rough understanding of politics and economics, which was very rare among ladies in this era. It's just that the rhetoric is a bit too sharp, which often makes the atmosphere drop to a freezing point. Emma doesn't like to show her differences outside, so she always has reservations about Miss Emily's opinions, and after a few times the young lady doesn't like to talk to her. Why did Miss Emily come to visit out of the blue? Is it for George?

Daisy also found it strange to bring Miss Emily over, and she tried to stammer, but Miss Kate was very stubborn, and she had to agree. Fortunately, Miss Kate was a little absent-minded today and was not prepared to express her point-to-point opinions. This made Daisy breathe a sigh of relief, and although Kate was kind to her, her words were a little too sharp, and she really didn't know what to do if the atmosphere froze.

With Miss Emily almost invisible, Emma, Georgiana, and Daisy discuss some costume art and gossip as usual. Although Emma is not very concerned about these topics, she will also understand some things for the sake of socializing, at least she can not be cold.

The hands of the clock turned silently in the midst of the conversation, and soon it was time for dinner.

Two men who were talking in the study came down the stairs. Miss Emily's eyes, whose eyes had been wandering and her mind wandering, lit up instantly. Emma thought Miss Emily had a strange attitude, saying that she liked George, and that she did not look at him with such shyness and affection, and that she did not like George, and that she always liked to stare at George, and tried to talk to George.

The dinner was very rich, there was Emma's favorite fish soup and asparagus, after eating dinner, Emma was a little lazy, and was about to stand up and walk out, when suddenly there was a sentence in his ear that was full of words, "Heavenly King Covers the Tiger!" Emma froze.
