85 Weddings
Although George stalked and threatened in every way, of course the former was for his lovely sister, and the latter was for Mr. Darcy, the wedding was not scheduled to be a few years later as he had hoped
Soon, it was the morning of the wedding day
Emma didn't sleep much that night. What if one day, my soul suddenly went back? As the first marriage in her life drew near, the question lingered in Emma's mind. She flipped through the entire Kentra family's collection and tried to run to the libraries of universities such as Cambridge. These books certainly don't give her an answer. In the process of communicating with the "fellow", Emma also asked this question, but the other party also suddenly crossed over without warning. If she came without warning, would she leave very suddenly? On this night, Emma had a nightmare. In the dream, she didn't open her eyes on the morning of the wedding. In the midst of the disbelief on the expressions of Mr. Darcy, George and Georgiana in the dream, Emma opened her eyes suddenly. She broke out in a cold sweat and never fell asleep again.
The bride's brother, George, also did not fall asleep one night. The butler, as a military officer who had been asked for advice several times in order to obstruct the wedding, the empathetic butler brought him a small glass of wine. But George didn't move. Although the amount of alcohol is very good (George's own evaluation), it is said that people can easily get drunk when they are sad. He is so sorrowful, what if he gets drunk and makes a mistake tomorrow. Can't drink, George simply got up early and squatted in front of his sister's door. Hatefully buckled the thick door panel. His smart and beautiful sister will take someone else's surname from tomorrow onwards and will never look back.
As soon as George tickled on the door, Emma heard it. When I went out, I saw that it was George, whose eyes were dark. In fact, she is also a little reluctant to George, although George is a little stupid, a little unreliable and has no correct self-understanding, but he gave her the best family affection. "Brother. ”
George, realizing that his style might be a little silly, stood up and wiped his hair casually. The crumbs on his hands touched his end. "I'm afraid you've slept, I'll take a look. ”
Emma sighed softly and gave George a very hard hug. "Brother, I'll come back to see you often, I swear. We are connected by blood, and you will always be my dear. ”
Surprisingly, George, who has always been a bit reliable (George's own evaluation), although often unreliable on the surface, explicitly refused. "Since you are married, you still have to look like you are married. "In this era, a woman is married and her husband's private property. If the Kentra family heirloom pocket watch went out every day, George would be upset. For the sake of his sister's happy marriage in the future, George felt that it would be better for her not to come back often. "If you feel unhappy, come back at any time, and as long as I live, this will always be your home. But if you're happy every day, come and see me on two festivals a year. Despite this chic statement, George was still sad. Not wanting Emma to see his red eyes, George gently pushed Emma's hand away and strode towards the room. "Alright, I'm going to change my clothes. ”
Mr. Darcy also did not sleep all night. Maybe people who are too happy will be afraid of losing. Mr. Darcy pondered the philosophical question calmly.
"Brother, where are you going?" "Brother, where are you going?" Georgiana, who couldn't sleep excitedly, planned to go to the living room to check the arrangement again, in case there was something Emma didn't like. However, when I got downstairs, I saw that my brother, who had always been calm, was going out.
Mr. Darcy realized that he had put on his boots and picked up his whip. Not wanting to admit that he had just wanted to go to Emma, Mr. Darcy said solemnly, "Why haven't you slept yet, Georgiana?"
If it was a normal day, Georgiana might apologize for her hanging out at night, which is not the proper behavior of a lady. Today, however, the excitement emboldened Georgiana a bit. "Brother, are you a little uneasy?"
The word uneasy is not at all an accurate description of the hundreds of episodes in Mr. Darcy's mind, like the kind of drama in which the first successful director made six consecutive series in one go, from marriage to the end of his life. To this day, all the worries that disturbed the snowflakes in her mind finally piled up a question in her mind: Did she feel happy?
"It doesn't matter. Georgiana tried to comfort her brother, "It's normal to feel uneasy before getting married, because you're going to be stepping into a strange life. My brother and Emma are not married without emotional foundation, and they will be happy after marriage. ”
Yes. Mr. Darcy said to himself that the marriage had been decided by Emma and him, of their own free will. Emma should be happy. Mr. Darcy, who was a little calmer, found the point: "Where did you see this?" Why did Georgiana, who was not married, talk about marriage? Mr. Darcy felt that he needed to check the range of Georgiana's recent readings.
“......”
Georgiana obediently handed over the book in the room - "On Marriage". If it weren't for the fact that the book at the time was not popular to use names as a gimmick, this book would actually be called "108 Cheats on How to Make a High Society Marriage Happy". Georgiana felt that her brother should not understand this, Emma was smart but it was the first time she was married, for the sake of her brother and Emma's future happiness, she might be able to help if she knew more.
Mr. Darcy was also well aware of Georgiana's intentions, and he thanked his sister, who was also worried about the day, and confiscated the books on the spot. After all, some of the parts in it that involve the privacy and children of the couple are still very unsuitable for Georgiana to read now. But this book suits him perfectly. Mr. Darcy, who couldn't sleep anyway, took the book back to the bedroom. He skipped the prelude to love and marriage proposals, and flipped to the wedding. However, without reading two pages, Mr. Darcy's expression became serious. On the page in front of me was the following line: Usually the young lady will feel anxious and nervous before the wedding until the first year of marriage. Because they will entrust their future to a man, come to a strange environment, start a new life, and take on different responsibilities. During this time, the companionship and comfort of men is very important.
Mr. Darcy felt a deep sense of remorse. The two hadn't seen each other for a long time before getting married. Three days before the wedding, Emma came to Derbyshire. However, both of them were busy, especially Mr. Darcy. Originally, the wedding should have been done by the elders, but the elders of the couple were gone, and most of the matter fell on Mr. Darcy's shoulders. The layout of the venue, the list of guests, the menu of the reception...... George certainly shares this important responsibility, but his opinions are always unique, and it's hard to say whether his joining makes it more difficult or less work. During this time when the bride-to-be needed company the most, Mr. Darcy felt that he had failed in his duties. Does Emma feel left out and lose faith in her marriage?
On the day of the wedding, Mr. Darcy was still weighed on his heart, and his already stiff face from nervousness looked even more serious. When the bride's carriage reached the church, the Emma radar above Mr. Darcy beeped. The way he strode towards Emma with a calm face could only be described as menacing, and the priest subconsciously stopped him. "My lord...... "Even if you are not satisfied with this situation, please do not do anything to intimidate the bride in public."
"Mr. and Mrs. Stoke have arrived. The butler lowered his voice and reminded his master to go to the party.
"I have a word for her. "If things are not explained before the wedding, Mr. Darcy really can't go to the guests with peace of mind.
This is probably the most willful thing Mr. Darcy has ever done when he has grown up. Mr. Butler hesitated.
At this moment, the bride hurriedly jumped out of the carriage with her complicated skirt.
It's not early, George, who specially put on makeup today before going out, cried two tears on his snow-white cheeks, and the snow-white tears dripped onto the black vest, and it took a while to clean up this matter. "Miss, you need to go to the next room to tidy up your wedding dress. The maid, who did not react, watched the bride jump out of the carriage, and leaned out half of her body anxiously to stop her.
What a coincidence, when I wanted to see you, you wanted to see me too. In the noisy background sound, the two glanced at each other, the corners of their mouths couldn't help but rise, the arc became larger and larger, and finally their snow-white teeth were exposed. Two people who don't conform to the aristocratic temperament, complete giggles.
Mr. Darcy would have liked to make assurances. "I will treat your future as my future and put your happiness above mine. Until the end of life. ”
Emma actually regretted it a little. Traveling back was a rare event, but she didn't want Mr. Darcy to take the slightest risk. One day I will suddenly go back, it is better not to start at first.
In the moment of smirking, both of them felt that what they wanted to say seemed to be unnecessary.
Yes, she was so strong and loved me that much. Mr. Darcy was sweetened by the second thought, and could not help repeating it again. Love me like that, how can you not know my guarantees. Those young ladies who are anxious before marriage probably haven't experienced such wholehearted love. Mr. Darcy gazed deeply at his bride, her emerald eyes shining with a gentle glow that shone brighter than the jewelry that strapped around her long neck. The layered skirt resembles an upside-down snow-white rose. Mr. Darcy felt his heart sink deep into the sweet wine. "Beautiful, very, very beautiful. ”
Emma thought of Mr. Darcy's abrupt confession a long time ago. A long, long time ago, this relationship has begun to take root, and until now, it is full of flowers in the hearts of two people. Instead of worrying about the future, cherish the present.
The others watched in amazement as the two brides and groom awkwardly complimented the bride, and the two smiled at each other and left. Mr. Darcy went to receive the visitors, and Emma went to arrange the clothes. Wait a minute, so you are like the Last Judgment is coming, and if you don't say it, you can't come back to it, is it "very beautiful, very beautiful"?
Although in a religious sense, after the church wedding, Mr. Darcy and Emma became one and entered into a marriage contract until the end of their lives, as secular weddings became more and more popular, the couple chose to have another secular wedding in Bloomberg.
Because Mr. Darcy and George had agreed to use different wedding dresses in the two locations, Emma finally didn't have to stuff her fluffy self into the carriage as she did in the morning. Emma, who changed into her regular clothes, finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although she may be a little sorry for George, Emma really doesn't want to stay with George today. In order to attend his sister's important wedding in the best condition, George wore fashionable leggings and high heels, and also pasted a thick layer of foundation, which made his healthy complexion pale of the nobility, and put on the popular fake curly hair, which combined with George's masculine handsome face, was simply the scene of a car accident. Emma was really afraid that she would accidentally laugh out loud and hurt her brother's fragile glass heart.
Pushing open the door, Mr. Darcy was waiting outside the room. Emma couldn't help but giggle again. "Waiting for me?"
"Yes. Mr. Darcy's eyes could not take a moment off her. "I still think it's a little unreal. ”
Emma smiled and hugged his arm. "Where is it not true. ”
At this sweet moment, Mr. Darcy couldn't help but ask his lover for a little sweet words. "What made you agree to marry me? I mean, I'm so unlikable, yet you're willing to spend your life with me in the witness of the Lord. ”
Emma thought it was a joke at first. "Probably the sun is just right, and the head is hot. ”
Mr. Darcy's expression darkened visibly, like a sunflower that had lost its sun and was dejected.
Emma's eyes widened in surprise. "Are you serious? Do you think you're unlikable?"
Mr. Darcy's eyes told her that yes.
Half an hour later, a man and a woman stopped a farmer on a mule cart on the road. "Excuse me, how should I get to Bloomberg?"
The farmer looked them up and down. Both of them wore hats and could not see their facial features clearly. But the soft fabrics they wear, their pale skin, and the horses they ride all indicate that they are not civilians. Although the two of them were polite, he cautiously asked a question before answering. "Are you going to a wedding?"
The young lady, or the lady, nodded. "Yes. ”
"You can take the left side of the road in front of you, although it is a little farther away, but the road is relatively clean and you don't get your clothes dirty. ”
"Thank you very much. It was still the lady who spoke. "The last time I came to Bloomberg was when I was five years old, and I haven't been here since my mother died. I didn't expect such a big change here. Without your help, we might not have found our way there. ”
It sounds like this lady is not closely related to Mr. Darcy's family. The farmer said proudly, "Although old Mr. Darcy is a respectable gentleman, he is now the master of Derbyshire. I dare say that none of the counties around here are richer than Derby. Although I am not qualified to attend the wedding, I wish him a happy marriage. ”
The lady nodded. "So the owner of Derbyshire is now a respectable gentleman, and as we entered Derbyshire, we heard that he was proud and narrow-minded, and that he had once been jealous and excluded the butler's son, a brilliant young man. ”
"Rumors! Shameful rumors!" said the farmer, blushing. "I really didn't expect that there are still people who maliciously slander the respected Mr. Darcy. This was a few years ago, and the butler's son insinuated on various occasions that he had been ostracized by Mr. Darcy. How ridiculous, he was inferior to Mr. Darcy in both birth and talent. Mr. Darcy is a gentleman of true character, and even if he suppressed this guy, it was not out of jealousy or personal grudge, he must have done something shameful. None of us believed him. He was ridiculed by everyone and ran away like a mouse. ”
Seeing that the lady groaned for a moment, she looked suspicious. The farmer immediately said that if they were not in a hurry, he could prove it to them on the way.
"Hey, Mrs. Smith. The farmer leaned out and called to the woman who was holding a little boy by the side of the road. "Today is the wedding day of the esteemed Mr. Darcy, and these two kind gentlemen and ladies would like to bring our blessings. ”
Mrs. Smith was very pleased. "Praise the kind gentleman and Mrs., praise Mr. Darcy. May he marry a lady who is the most beautiful and heartfelt lady in the world. Jack, you say that too. She said to her son. "If it weren't for the esteemed Mr. Darcy having his family doctor see you that night, you wouldn't be able to bounce around like this now. Jack blinked and said childishly, "Thank you, Mr. Darcy." ”
"Hey, old David. The farmer waved his hand at the man in the field from afar. "Today is the wedding day of the esteemed Mr. Darcy, and these two kind gentlemen and ladies would like to bring our blessings. ”
Old David was a little embarrassed. "Oh, I don't say nice things. ”
"So you don't want to send your blessings?"
"No, no. Alas, our rent was twenty percent lower than in other counties, and after I was lame, Mr. Darcy reduced it by twenty percent. Such kindness, my clumsy tongue, can not express a point of gratitude. May he and his wife have a good relationship. ”
Along the way, men, women and children, both men and women, warmly sent their wedding wishes and expressed their gratitude to Mr. Darcy.
The farmer raised his eyebrows, as if he had been praised. When they reached the fork in the road, he told the mule to stop. "You can get there by taking the road on the left. Mr. Darcy had done justice when I had an argument with a squire. His noble personality is beyond money. Although he sometimes seems serious and impersonal, please don't take that kind of slander seriously. ”
Until his figure disappeared down the other road, the lady, that is, Emma, laughed and teased, "I didn't know you had so many admirers." ”
Mr. Darcy was a little dazed, a little delighted, and a little embarrassed. At that time, he wanted to get rid of the guy who was trying to mistreat his sister, but he knew that Wakeham would not leave obediently. After being maliciously slandered, he very calmly found Wakeham according to the source of information and drove him away completely. He had never thought about how the people of the county would react to it, nor did he bother to explain it. Unexpectedly, they were all defending him unconditionally. Some of them remembered this thing Mr. Darcy remembered, and some of them had faded away. In his opinion, these are not such great things, and they should not be used to show off or blackmail favors. "It's because I've done something and they're grateful to me. Mr. Darcy felt that there was an essential difference between this and love.
Nor did that change Mr. Darcy's opinion, and Emma sighed. "Then let's move on. ”
Secular weddings invite more guests than church weddings, and Bloombury can accommodate more guests than churches.
Mr. Darcy takes Emma to the lounge first, where she is going to tuck herself into another wedding dress. The lounge has a small balcony. From here, the voices of the downstairs can be clearly heard.
"I didn't expect you all to come, long time no see. ”
Mr. Darcy paused slightly and introduced to Emma. "This is my former classmate. "It should be said that I don't know much about my classmates. Mr. Darcy thinks he knew Charlie best during his school days, and he has several other friends. As for most of the people in the class, he didn't have a close relationship with them. Out of politeness, he sent invitations to many of his former classmates, but he didn't expect that except for a few people with special circumstances, everyone else came.
"Darcy is married, of course he is coming. Ah, I didn't expect him, I thought he would be celibate for the rest of his life. I still remember his 'why are you so boring' look when we tricked him into going to Ji.yuan, and then he turned around and left. ”
"You're embarrassed to say it. You came up with this bad idea. ”
"I just wanted to play a joke with him. ”
"Thanks for your sense of humor, you messed things up. Remember, we wanted to invite him to join us in the Autumn Hunt. Thanks to you, I didn't even dare to approach him after that. ”
There was silence for a moment, and the classmate who had made an over-the-top joke sighed. "Though he has no sense of humor, Darcy is truly the most upright gentleman I have ever met. Even if it weren't for this, a guy like you, who had to do it all day, wouldn't have come to Darcy's side. Will he sit idly by and watch his friends make mistakes? Only someone like Charlie and others who have no big problems with his character can get along with him without any humility. ”
The other sighed. "Is Duke Wilson back?"
"From what I've got, it will. ”
"It's surprising that he's already a duke. ”
"Because it's Darcy's wedding. He is a man who deserves to be admired. ”
If the people in the county were grateful to Mr. Darcy for their kindness, then the classmates were truly appreciative. This subverted Mr. Darcy's long-standing belief that these classmates did not like his rigid personality and did not want to associate with him.
Probably because the place under the platform is more remote, after a few classmates left, a young lady came here with her maid.
"Don't shed tears. The maid anxiously raised her handkerchief and pressed it to the corner of the young lady's eye. "If you shed tears at your distant cousin's wedding, you don't have to wait until the next day for a rumor to spread. ”
The young lady also knew the seriousness of the matter, and she pressed her eyes and did not let the tears flow down her makeup. "I'm just a little sad for a while. ”
"What are you sad about? "The maid felt unworthy for the young lady. "Mr. Darcy is indeed rich, but he has rejected you so mercilessly, without the slightest gentlemanly manner. ”
"Nope. He is the most gentlemanly person. If he wants, he can give gentle hints to everyone who falls in love with him, and play with them in the palm of his hand. And he will never leave a glimmer of hope for a young lady other than his sweetheart. At this point, the young lady wanted to cry again.
Mr. Darcy could no longer make a shocked expression. He knew that because of his excellent conditions in all aspects, many young ladies would show favor to him. But I never thought that he would be rejected like this, and there were still people who appreciated his approach. Things were moving so fast that he didn't have time to avoid it, and it would be inappropriate to listen to it any longer. "I'll call the maid with the clothes. ”
Emma grabbed him. "Wait a minute. She looked at him tenderly. "We all feel that you are the best. You are a true gentleman, my sense of security, my ideal, and my dream. I love you, dear Mr. Darcy. ”
Due to various problems, the address has been changed to a new address to avoid getting lost
