Chapter 36: Drunkenness (I)

For a while, only two sentences echoed in Emma's mind: I never thought of it! How could a lady who received an orthodox education and grew up in this era grow up like Miss Emily? Although Emma herself came from time in time, she was born under the red flag and grew up in New China still adheres to the materialist world view, and has never thought about it, otherwise she would have guessed it a long time ago.

Miss Emily stared at George without blinking, hoping to see some reaction from George, who was clearly going to be disappointed. George didn't know what she meant, but he looked at her twice because she had a louder voice and a more strange pronunciation, and then turned to speak to Mr. Darcy. "Fitzwilliam, you must have a few drinks with me today. ”

Mr. Darcy rarely drinks alcohol, but George first experienced a stampede at the ball and the failure of the perpetual motion machine, and then Emma quit the marriage with allergies, and now he can't refuse to let him drink two glasses with him.

Emily tried to see the unnaturalness on George's face, but unfortunately she didn't see anything, and at that moment Emma felt that her tears had overflowed her eyes, but she still raised her head slightly and held back from crying.

Emma's heart was poked hard by her expression, and the two villains in their minds were arguing fiercely.

Reason said, "Are you stupid?" You don't know her, what if it's a trap?

Emotion said: I really haven't heard the words in Chinese for a long time, the king of heaven and the tiger sounds stupid, but when it is a full three hundred years away from his hometown half the world, this sentence is really kind and makes people want to cry.

Reason said: Even if it is not a trap, with Kate's IQ, what if your identity is exposed?

Emotion said: I want to complain about the traffic jam in the second ring road with people, talk about the food I grow in flowers, criticize the current bondage and suppression of women, what makes me mad the most is that I think things are not right Everyone takes it for granted, and when the whole world denies me, I hope there is a companion to prove that I am not a person.

Reason says: Even if you don't think about yourself, think about George, do you know what situation you are facing?

Emotions have nothing to say, and they are kicked away by reason.

When Emily turned around, Emma had already collected her mood and looked confused like Georgiana and Daisy. Emma's caution was a bit redundant, and Emily didn't look at her carefully at all, hanging her head to apologize that she was unwell and might have to go back early.

Daisy is worried about Emily's health, and apologetically asks her to take her leave now to take Emily home.

Emma looked at Emily's back and narrowed her eyes slightly. She certainly wouldn't reveal her identity in front of Emily, but that didn't mean she decided to never recognize her only compatriot right now. Let's check this person first.

Emily got into the carriage first, Daisy didn't follow, pulled Emma aside and whispered, "I'm sorry, Emma, I shouldn't have brought Emily"

Emma said sincerely, "It's okay. If Daisy hadn't brought Emily here, she didn't know when she knew there was a time-traveler in this world.

Daisy glanced at the carriage and lowered her voice. "I apologize for Emily's rudeness in her words, she wasn't like this before, and the year before last she suddenly began to think about the philosophical question of "why am I me", and "what is real and what is unreal", and then she started"

Emma knew that Daisy meant that Emily was going to be a nerd or a crazy person when she was reading books, and hoped that she wouldn't care about Emily's gaffe, but Emma got another message from it.

With Daisy and Emily gone, Emma and Georgiana are left in the living room, and they begin to plan their visit to Bloomberg. The two talked for a long time before George and Mr. Darcy came out, and Emma was a little worried. George was reliable most of the time, but there were times when he was unreliable, and it would be bad if he was in a bad mood and dragged Mr. Darcy to drink.

Emma's conjecture was partly true.

George patted Mr. Darcy on the shoulder, "What is the failure of a perpetual motion machine? I'm not afraid! I'm worried about Emma." Emma, she's so bitter. George took another sip of his glass. "She was only so old that she saw her mother killed. Later, my father was murdered, and I was framed. This qiē nightmare is finally over, and this kind of thing has happened again. I hate myself for not being able to protect her!"

Mr. Darcy stopped the servant who wanted to add wine to George. "He's drunk. ”

George raised his glass and motioned for the servant to pour it. "I'm not drunk! I'm just in a bad mood. Fitzwilliam, Jing can't do anything. ”

Mr. Darcy clinked glasses with him, swallowing the brownish, reddish liquor, the spicy liquid burning sensation that seemed to burn all the way from his mouth to his stomach. Although he had only drunk a little with George, he already felt that his whole body was heating up and his cheeks were a little red. Mr. Darcy wouldn't say anything about chicken soup for the soul, he could only talk to George about his experience. In addition to the unstoppable death, aging and disease, in the face of difficulties and obstacles, all we can do is to solve what can be solved, and turn what cannot be solved into something that can be solved. ”

Is this really a comfort, maybe it can be counted as a spur?" George didn't know how to answer, so he had to take another sip of wine. He drank a lot, he was only slightly drunk at this time, and he knew exactly what he was doing, and he deliberately pretended to be like this for a purpose. However, George felt that it was a mistake to use this as an excuse to ask Mr. Darcy for a drink, and that Mr. Darcy would not comfort anyone at all.

Mr. Darcy put down his glass, he was already a little dizzy, those words were what he asked of himself, he should not have said to George, he had always been more lenient with others than with himself, but for some reason he had blurted out very naturally just now. The feeling alerted him. "I'm drunk. ”

George didn't believe it. Although Mr. Darcy's face was a little red, his expression was still so stern, he spoke in a clear manner, without laughing, chattering, or babbling, and just so dryly announcing that he was drunk, who would believe it. "Fitzwilliam, look at yourself where you look drunk, and want me to believe that at least a few words of nonsense. ”

Mr. Darcy really didn't know if he was drunk or not. He actually drank a good amount of alcohol, and since he didn't usually smile, and no one had ever tried to make him drink like George, and occasionally he could control himself with a little more self-control, so he didn't know what it was like to be drunk. Mr. Darcy said that he was only a little wary of being drunk because he had just lost control of himself, and now that George said this, he was not very sure, but he was not prepared to continue drinking. "Excessive drinking is not good for the body or spirit, and if you are still in a bad mood, we can go horseback riding in the countryside. ”

George didn't want to ride a horse, could riding a horse make Darcy tell the truth? "Pour the wine. Fitzwilliam, I'm really sad, let me forget about these unpleasantness for a while. He clutched his chest and his face was full of grief.

This acting is a bit pompous, if Mr. Darcy is not drunk, he might be able to see it, but now he looks at George's face a little shaky, what else can he observe?" "Don't be sad. ”

George made all sorts of excuses to have a few more drinks with Mr. Darcy. "Damn allergy medicine. "It seems that a perpetual motion machine will not succeed. "To London's endless balls. George's excuses were getting worse and worse, but Mr. Darcy did not raise any objections, and clinked glasses with George again and again.

Finally, George felt that it was almost done, and he shook his head, which was also a little dizzy, and motioned for the servant behind him to pour the wine to go down. "Fitzwilliam, I have an important matter to discuss with you. ”

Mr. Darcy nodded.

Emma decided to come over and have a look, she was just about to come in, and when she heard this, she thought it was better to wait a little and not disturb them to talk about something important.

"Emma and Alwin broke off their engagement, and I, as an older brother, couldn't help but think about her. George thought about it for a while, felt that it was a bit explicit to say it directly, and decided to do some foreshadowing first. "Well, you know, a lady always needs a gentleman who can protect her, and I would have thought that Alvin would be the one, who would have thought of such a thing. ”

Mr. Darcy nodded anyway.

George was really drunk, should he have said these words to Mr. Darcy?Emma took a few steps back, ready to step over with a heavier step, as if she had just come.

George sighed, and he was also infinitely emotional when he said this. "The old man didn't give me a good example, I don't have much hope for love, Emma is different from me. I don't have the right person here, do you know a gentleman who is good in every way?"

Emma's heart jumped, and the foot that was about to fall heavily was gently placed on the ground. The only thing George called that was the old Earl of Kentera. She originally thought that George's concept of love was formed by frustration outside, and after checking for a long time, she didn't find any clues, but now it seems that it is in the wrong direction.

Mr. Darcy frowned slightly. "A good gentleman in every way?"

George drank the wine from his glass, pretending to be slurred, and with a smile he leaned over and put his hand on Mr. Darcy's other shoulder: "That's right, just like Fitzwilliam." ”

Emma couldn't help it, George was talking nonsense to Mr. Darcy!, she trotted a few steps backwards, and stepped heavily on the floor.

Mr. Darcy thought it was the most beautiful thing he had ever heard George say. His deep eyes were lit up by love and joy, and his usually cold face melted into the ice, and he blushed slightly and wanted to confess his heart: "I" I am willing to be the gentleman who protects Emma. But the more nervous he became, the more he couldn't speak.

What is the answer?, George subconsciously tightened his arms and leaned forward, staring at Mr. Darcy's expression.

"Brother. Emma called George as she walked in. She thought she would see George who had drunk too much and Mr. Darcy who was pale, but she never expected that such a scene would be presented in front of her: George threatenedly strangled poor Mr. Darcy's neck, squinted his eyes and forced him to look at him, Mr. Darcy's face was red, and he still did not say a word.

"Brother!" Emma was almost angry with George, how bad she was in George's mind, to threaten a man to marry her!no, maybe she was really bad, and Mr. Darcy would rather die when he was threatened like this......
