George was very pleased with Mr. Darcy's performance. Despite his unapproachability, Mr. Darcy's steadfastness pleased George. If Mr. Darcy had not rejected Mrs. Bennet in a clear manner, George would have to complain to Emma when he returned.

George pretended to be nonchalant and walked over: "Hey, Fitzwilliam, you're not personable enough today. ”

Mr. Darcy didn't want to pay attention to such boring questions before, but now the situation has changed, and the boring questions have become a test for Emma's brother. Mr. Darcy replied with great sincerity: "I cannot receive the kindness of my master, and it is better to refuse it than to give others unrealistic hopes." ”

George nodded reservedly on the surface and said nothing, but in his heart he already approved of Mr. Darcy. As a former gentleman, he had seen too many men who used brothels as a place to relax and entertain, or who did not refuse to have a relationship with any young lady that went beyond friendship. As an eighteenth-century man, he would not have done this, but he understood that it was a phenomenon that was difficult to avoid. But as an older brother, he must not tolerate his future brother-in-law being unfaithful to his sister. If Emma marries Mr. Darcy in the future, at least there will be no problem in this regard. George was much more pleasing to Mr. Darcy's eyes, and he felt the need to give him a piece of advice. "Fitzwilliam, honesty is a virtue, but the ladies are so weak that a not-so-pleasant truth may bring them to tears. Emma wouldn't be angry about such a trivial matter, but she would be happier to be affirmed. ”

To add to the persuasiveness, George gave an example. "I'm busy sometimes and Emma helps me pick out my clothes. To be honest, Emma's tastes are always different from mine. Of course, we can't expect a young lady to look at men's clothing in the same way as a man. At this point, can I say I don't like her taste? Of course not. She was so serious about helping me ask about the men's fashions this year, picking them one by one, and complimenting me in such a sincere tone after I put them on. I certainly want to thank her sincerely, and I went out wearing the clothes she chose. ”

George was very proud of his thoughtfulness. "When I do that, Emma spends the day with a smile on her face. George boasted in a somewhat annoyed tone, "Alas, Emma is always so innocent and cute. She has done so much for me, and she is so happy to get a word of thanks. George had completely forgotten what he was talking about, and he couldn't stop showing off.

For the first time in his life, Mr. Darcy felt a sincere sense of envy, but he did not lose sight of the point. "I didn't think today's review involved Miss Kentera. ”

Reluctantly, George stopped showing off and gestured to one of the flower arrangements. "That was made by Emma. ”

Mr. Darcy was surprised. Although Emma knows that she is not very good at art and will try to play to her strengths and avoid weaknesses, nothing can be hidden from someone who truly loves her. Mr. Darcy knew very well that Emma was not very interested in artistic entertainment. When Mrs. Bennet boasted about how ingenious the girl was in the flower arrangement, she was still a little subtle, and did not say which lady did it, but only said that it was the handiwork of the young ladies. Mr. Darcy thought that Emma was not involved, and he did not anticipate that Emma was being cheated by George.

George said earnestly, "Fitzwilliam, this can't be called a lie. ”

Emma walked over and heard the last sentence. She was very suspicious that George had said something strange to Mr. Darcy, after all, George had too many criminal records. Emma looked into George's eyes and let out a low cry. "Brother. ”

George's hair exploded, and he heard the warning in Emma's words, and hurriedly put on an innocent and hearty smile. "We're talking about flower arrangement, and flower arrangement is beautiful, right?"

If it weren't for the sake of maintaining the image, Emma would have liked to knock George's head like a watermelon to see if it was empty. Originally, Emma was very comfortable with herself, even if her skills were not as good as others, she could confidently say: I like myself like this. But now her mindset has changed somewhat. In the face of Mr. Darcy, Emma wants to put her best foot forward. Now George insisted on putting her black history in front of Mr. Darcy, and forced Mr. Darcy to say praise against his will. It's embarrassing.

Equally awkward are Georgiana and Elizabeth. Georgiana regretted her proposal a little. In order to create an opportunity for Mr. Darcy and Emma to get along, she proposes to play bridge. Emma, she, and Elizabeth came over to ask the two men if they wanted to participate, but George asked one such question. Georgiana no longer counts on her brother's emotional intelligence.

Elizabeth did not know Mr. Darcy, and in view of what she had just heard of Mr. Darcy, she could anticipate Mr. Darcy's answer.

However, it was not what everyone expected. Mr. Darcy gave an affirmative answer. "Yes. ”

Both George and Georgiana were full of relief. George felt that Mr. Darcy was teachable, and Georgiana was moved that her brother had finally come to his senses.

Elizabeth's shock was less positive. If you have to describe it in one sentence, it is: There is such a hypocritical person! Just now, he was obviously worthless behind his back, but now in front of the ladies, he can express his good looks very naturally and sincerely. No wonder Emma thinks this "Mr. Dissatisfied" is a good person.

Emma felt that she was having auditory hallucinations, and a strong curiosity ensued. From what she knew about Mr. Darcy, Mr. Darcy was not lying against his will. So what did George do to Mr. Darcy in just a quarter of an hour to make his aesthetic change qualitatively?

For the rest of her time at Bennet's house, Emma was plagued by curiosity. The same is probably true of Georgiana, struggling with curiosity and awe of her brother, absentmindedly playing bridge for a while, then saying that she is tired and wants to go to the couch for a rest. Mr. Darcy was not involved and was sitting on the couch. When Georgiana was gone, Emma knocked on the side next to Mrs. Bennet, and briefly talked about Mr. Darcy's selfless help to the Kentra family when her father and brother had an accident.

Emma was not distracted, and did not notice Elizabeth's thoughtful expression after listening to it, which was not Emma's reaction.

After all, it was hard to travel, and Georgiana soon became a little tired. This time they said goodbye and left well. On the way back, Georgiana had been a little wilted. Emma didn't think she had asked. This only strengthened Emma's curiosity. As she got out of the carriage, Emma gave Mr. Darcy a look and pointed behind her.

Mister Darcy understood what she meant, and struggled inwardly for a few seconds, but was still secretly a few steps behind. Emma walked over softly and walked side by side with him.

George and Georgiana were not far ahead, and the sound of George shouting tired, the sound of Georgiana asking the servant to help her bring hot water, and the sound of the servant walking intertwined and floated over. They were all in the light, and where Mr. Darcy and Emma were, unlit, a blurred shadow.

Mr. Darcy suddenly became a little nervous. This tension is different from the usual tension when she is alone with Emma, it is more secretive, with a little inexplicable stimulation and restless tension.

Emma didn't feel the ambiguity, she kept thinking about the problem. "Do you really like that vase of flower arrangement?"

For some reason, at this moment, Mr. Darcy blurted out something that he felt was difficult to say. "It's beautiful to think that you did it with all your heart. ”

It was the first time Emma had heard Mr. Darcy say such a blunt love statement.

Mr. Darcy pretended to be calm and took a few steps, feeling apprehensive. He quietly glanced at Emma with her head bowed in silence. Mr. Darcy panicked. Maybe Emma thinks he's talking too much?

Just as Mr. Darcy began to think crankily, Emma took two steps to him and looked up at him, her emerald eyes glinting. "It's the most liar-like truth I've ever heard. ”

Mr. Darcy was quick to explain. Emma continued to whisper, "Still, it's the loveliest truth I've ever heard. 166 Reading Network
