This baron is not too cold...... , he's not just cold, he's crying, okay!

Caroline stiffly maintained the curvature of the corners of her mouth, looking at the bright-eyed Mrs. Hall in front of her, the self-conscious Margaret, and the Baron Hall like a peacock, as if there were countless salted fish swimming in her heart.

Charles, you're not kind!

Two days earlier, they had returned to London from Nesserfield Manor, and the weather had been fine.

A day earlier, Caroline's friend Margaret Kent had come to their house, and the weather was fine.

And that night, Charles sold Caroline.

"Caroline, you can go with Margaret, anyway, your brother and I have to deal with some things in the past two days, and I don't have time to take care of you, I don't worry about you being home alone, why don't you go play with Margaret!"

Put X! Caroline grinded her back molars and her eyes widened in disbelief. Charles, you've grown up! Still dealing with things, don't think she doesn't remember your reluctant expression when she said she was going back to London! I haven't had time to take care of you yet, I'll take care of you most of the time! Isn't Mrs. Fafa human? Isn't Sissi human?

That being said, but she didn't make Charles lose face in front of Margaret, she just waited for him viciously.

Charles cried in his heart, sister, I'm all doing this for your good, there is a baron pursuing you! What about the blessings that others have cultivated in several lifetimes, and he is also a handsome nobleman with a fortune of more than 10,000 years! Although, it's true that it's a bit of a flower, cough! Isn't it okay if I change my mind?

"That's it!" Margaret hurriedly laughed, "Caroline, Blair said I haven't seen you for a long time, how about having dinner with us?" ”

Caroline was surprised, "Today?" ”

"Of course not, when you and I go to my cousin's house tomorrow, wow, aren't you going to entertain me today!" She grabbed Caroline's arm and shook it, "I've brought lamb with me!" ”

"Mrs. Fafa has taken care of it, and you have to trust her to prepare a good dinner for you."

Charles covered his face, Caroline, you were flattened by this guy's two sentences.

So, the next day she packed up and got into the carriage with Margaret.

Hall's house is in the north of London, not too far from the Bentley family, and the horse-drawn carriage is about half an hour away.

Caroline is in a good mood when Margaret is coaxed on the way, and she promises to give Margaret a new shawl from their factory as a gift.

"Caroline, you're now the 'mistress' of the Bentley family!" Margaret teased her with a smile, "Speaking of which, Sara has been complaining to me lately, saying that Charles has been gone for three months, and she wants to go to him!" ”

"That young lady......" Caroline pouted, she didn't understand why Margaret had such a good relationship with her, "anyway, now that Charles is back, and I'm not at home, Miss Sarah can do whatever she wants." ”

"Speaking of which, you actually have a good relationship with her. Do you socialize together a lot? ”

Margaery nodded, "Yes, Caroline, since you don't like to talk to the ladies and ladies, I can only barely make up for your vacancy." ”

"It's so high-sounding, obviously you are a noble lady, who cares about me." Caroline rolled her eyes unconcernedly.

"My brother will!"

Someone immediately silenced and gave Margaret a glare by the way.

The young lady on the opposite side smiled and enjoyed a good show.

Baddeley Hall was waiting at the door early, and received a letter from his cousin last night, what is called God assist! Look! My sister is amazing.

Seeing the carriage slowly coming, Baddeley's eyes lit up, and he took two steps forward, reaching out to pick up the ladies in the carriage.

"Oh, Miss Bingley!" Baddeley gently took Caroline's hand and led her out of the carriage.

The corners of her mouth froze, and Caroline quickly withdrew her hand after standing still, "Good afternoon, sir." ”

"Hey, didn't you even see me?" Margaret said angrily.

"Ah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Margaret your Blair will be out in a moment!"

"You know I'm not talking about this !!"

She got out of the carriage with the help of the servant on the side, and glanced at her cousin who was heavy and light on her friend with disgust, who didn't know that Baddeley Hall was famous?

Although this may hurt Caroline, it is rare for her cousin to be so attentive to a person, Margaret comforted herself, maybe her cousin may change his ways, and besides, Caroline may not necessarily look down on him.

"Blair!!" Margaret's eyes lit up, swept to the man on the side, and immediately turned into a bird and flew into his arms.

Caroline turned her head and smiled politely at him, "Mr. Davis, so you're there too!" ”

"Miss Bingley." He greeted Caroline gently, and by the way, he picked up his little girlfriend with one hand, "Please say hello to Mr. Charles on my behalf, it's a pity that he didn't come this time!" ”

"My brother also said that we would have dinner with Mr. Davis in two days, and we brought some souvenirs from Meriton, which Mr. Davis will definitely like."

"Thank you in advance." Blair Davis nodded gentlemanly, pulled Margaret back to the room first, Caroline also followed when she saw this, Baddeley Hall was not angry, and looked at Miss Caroline's movements with interest with a smile, he knew that he would not be bored with this young lady.

###

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Hall was also there.

Baddeley saluted his mother, and then solemnly introduced Caroline, "Mother, this is Miss Caroline Bingley, Margaret invited her to be a guest. ”

"Oh? Is it Miss Bentley? Nice to meet you. ”

"Good afternoon, ma'am. I'm Caroline Bingley, and my wife is as young and beautiful as rumored. Caroline smiled slightly, "My brother didn't come today, and he specially instructed me to say hello to Mr. and Mrs. Hall!" ”

Mrs. Hall was immediately rejoiced, "Caroline is really good at talking, and the last time Mrs. White came, she mentioned you!" Margaret, her piano skills still need to be improved......"

"Auntie! Mine isn't bad! Margaret hurriedly shouted.

Blair stroked her hair with a smile, and the golden brown hair hung down, and the gentleman was in a mess.

Mrs. Hall glared at her affectionately, "Just your words!" Okay, you young people, let's talk, I'll go out first. "The afternoon socialization of these noble ladies has become almost unwritten law, and Mrs. Hall is not immune to clichés.

Baddeley curled the corners of his lips and sent his mother away, before turning his gaze to Caroline, "May I call you Caroline, Miss?" ”

Someone's meal, this routine is also deep......

Caroline suppressed the twitching corners of her mouth, and when she saw the elegant appearance of the person in front of her, she wanted to turn around and leave, but no. No matter how he is, he is also a baron. "Of course, Baron Hall."

"Just call me Baddeley." His sky-blue eyes still glowed with melancholy, as if he was blaming Caroline's hard-heartedness.

...... "She was suddenly speechless, sir, is it really good for you to be familiar like this?" Mr. Hall. ”

So the next second, she received a melancholy radio wave transmission.

Margaret, who had no conscience, said that she had to keep her agreement and invite Caroline to have a good meal in the evening, so she took Blair Davis away without saying a word, saying that she was going to the kitchen to have a look.

So only Caroline and Baddeley were left in the entire reception room.

It wasn't that she was on pins and needles, but Caroline had always felt a little stiff, she had met the baron twice in total, and it was a bit too much to say familiar, but it was a little unkind, after all, they had danced a dance.

"Caroline, relax, this isn't class." Baddeley said with a smile that it was the first time he had seen such a reserved and cold young lady in front of him, and he couldn't help but smile slightly when he thought about it.

Caroline nodded, "Sir, I heard Margaret say you came to me?" ”

Baddeley simply admitted, "Yes, I wanted to invite Caroline as a guest, actually, the idea has been around for a long time, since the last time I saw you at the docks, I've always wanted to invite you over." ”

"Ah......" Caroline was stunned, a little unsure of what to say, but fortunately the other party didn't have the desire to let her answer. Hope, straight to the end.

"Purpose, I apologize, Caroline accepts?" His eyes are beautiful and he can speak, and he can pick up the contents of his eyes very clearly when he stares at you. "I apologize for my reckless words last time, Caroline."

As if sensing his sincerity, Caroline's stiff figure slowly relaxed, and she tried to smile softly, "It's okay sir, I don't care." ”

Baddeley nodded, "In order to compensate Caroline, I made special preparations!" ”

"Huh?"

"I felt it last time I was at the docks, Caroline, you really want to go to sea, right?" Seeing the young lady on the other side with round eyes, Baddeley unconsciously laughed, "It can be seen that Caroline is very yearning for overseas Yiqiē, and when she talks about the East, the look in her eyes is much brighter than the stars!" ”

He said love words and compliments very well, which Caroline had already felt, but she was still a little embarrassed by what he said, so she looked away and bowed her head slightly, "I have to say, sir, your observation is very sharp, I really hope to go to sea one day to see." ”

There is nothing unadmitted, at least in Caroline's opinion, the ladies and ladies of high society actually have a dream of going to sea, of course, the purpose, preferences and orientations are different.

For example, she now has no modern pressure, no need for a job or a degree, and naturally, she will think of achieving things that she only dared to think about before.

Go to different countries and see what the world was like in the 19th century.

Baddeley Hall laughed happily when he heard this, "It's Caroline, I really appreciate your decisiveness and attitude!" He stood up, walked to the room, took out a small leather suitcase, and opened it in front of Caroline, "I said compensate Caroline, this is it." ”

"Yamato's clogs, I want to give them to you."

——*——*——*——*——*——*——*——*——

Baddeley Hall has been out to sea a few times.

But most of the time it's for business and beautiful women.

He has been to Yamato and India in the East, to France and Germany, to the jungles of the Americas, and in general, the experience has been rich.

Old Hall didn't like to control him, saying that his son should work his own, if he didn't have this ability, he wouldn't be a member of the Hall family, so Badellia has been in a state of free-range since he was a child.

Although he was not restrained, he was well educated, and apart from the fact that he liked beautiful women, which gave Mrs. Hall some headaches, Baddeley had always been a standard aristocratic heir.

But the elder Hall said that it is okay for young people to be romantic, and when they reach middle age, they will know that they will converge, and Mrs. Hall is skeptical, and finally chooses to let it go.

Baddley Hall, by and large, is a strange person. This kind of person looks like a mouthful, but in fact, he thinks more than anyone else and sees farther than anyone else. It's just that because he hasn't met true love, he feels that if he looks for it more time, he can find it.

Isn't the more choices there are, the better the odds? That's why he got the name of Playboy, and in Caroline's opinion, he made sense, but the method was not welcome.

There are several boxes in the suitcase with the crest of the Hall family on them, and they look very beautiful.

He opened one of them, and there was a pair of clogs in it, small and delicate, "The last time I saw that you were so interested in oriental silk, I wanted to give this to you, but I have no choice but I haven't been to Daqing, so I can only give you something from Yamato, Caroline, do you like it?" ”

Caroline was a little surprised, "Mr. Hall! It's too precious! I think I can't take it! ”

"Caroline, this is for you, just for you to bring back." Baddeley was helpless, "It's not the only pair, so it's not a valuable thing, it's my mind, don't you look down on my mind?" ”

Caroline: ............

Hehe, it's all a routine!

You've said so, can I not take it?! Yes?!

She silently pricked the villain in her heart, and accepted Baron Hall's small box with integrity, "No, thank you, sir, I'm very happy." "If she's happy, she's going to have a ghost! …… Well, the geta is still very good_(:зゝ∠)_ After all, although it was brought back from Japan, it was originally, and it was also her big day. In the past, you should put on a proud face at this time!

Baddeley smiled with satisfaction, and opened another small box, which contained a very beautiful hat, "Look, this is the hat I brought back from France, and the tailor of the Louis royal family made it himself." ”

Caroline took it in amazement, and carefully looked through it, and it was indeed beautifully made, and the red hat was decorated with gold and black silk threads.

"Sir, this is so pretty!" If you modify it, you can use it for noble wives [indifference.]

"Is it pretty?" Darcy was stunned, he didn't expect to meet the young ladies of the Bennett family in town.

When Jane and Elizabeth came out for a walk around town, they saw a familiar figure, and the two of them struggled for a moment, but decided to say hello, even if the gentleman was not the amiable Bingley, but the cold and arrogant Darcy.

"Yes sir, if it were for Miss, I think she would like it." Elizabeth nodded solemnly, and the gossip soul in her heart began to burn.

"Is it for my husband's sister, Miss Darcy?"

Georgiana? Darcy pursed his lips, yes, he should have brought a gift for Georgiana instead of the one for Miss Caroline here.

Elizabeth snickered in her heart, and she understood by her expression, "Ah, it seems to be for Miss Caroline." ”

As soon as the words fell, she was glared at by Darcy, but Elizabeth was not afraid, she patted Jane who was hiding behind her, and very generously pointed to the ribbon that Darcy had just picked and said, "This pattern is very chic, I heard that Miss Jenny's things are all hand-sewn, and she designed it herself, which is the only one in the world!" ”

"Really?" Darcy frowned, and he repeatedly looked at the thing he had just picked up, then picked up another one and doubled it in his hand.

"Sir, if it's a ribbon for Miss Darcy, the one on the left is more suitable!" Elizabeth smiled, "Light blue is more suitable for young ladies who are not adults!" Moonlight white is very much Miss Caroline's complexion, sir, what do you say? ”

A hint of surprise crossed Darcy's face, he was not disgusted by this unique Miss Bennett, so he nodded reservedly, and asked the boss to wrap up all the ornaments made by Miss Jenny.

"Thank you, Miss Bennett." Darcy thanked him earnestly, and when his eyes swept to Jane Bennett, he paused slightly, but in the end he didn't say anything, said hello to the two and left.

Jane and Elizabeth watched his back leave, then breathed a sigh of relief.

Jane whispered to Elizabeth, "Lizzy, why hasn't this Mr. Darcy left yet?" Charles Bingley also deliberately brought a letter to them when he left, although Jane was reluctant, but still obeyed Charles's wishes, she didn't know what she and that Mr. Bingley were like, he was really interested in himself at the beginning, Jane was not stupid, she could feel it, trust a woman's intuition.

But then things got a little strange, to be precise, after she fell ill, and she felt that Mr. Bingley hadn't been so concerned about herself since.

Maybe it's because Mr. Bingley doesn't like sick and infirm people? Does he hate himself?

Jane, who was already a little timid and shy, was almost driven crazy by the thoughts in her heart, she was worried that the other party hated her, and Mrs. Bennett would say in her ear every day that her eldest daughter was going to be married by the son of the Bingley family or something, Mr. Bennett would read the newspaper indifferently at this time, no, she was wrong, her father was reading the newspaper indifferently almost all the time.

She was unhappy, and her heart could only be told to her sister Elizabeth, who understood her.

"All I can say is that Mr. Bentley is so irresponsible! Is he playing with you?! Elizabeth frowned, knowing her sister's heart clearly, "But Jiying, don't forget Jì, our is just a country lady, even if Dad is a squire, but compared to Mr. Bentley's family, it is still much worse." ”

Elizabeth is a clear-headed person, and she is clearly prepared to make it clear to Ji Ying, "London is so big, what kind of lady Mr. Bingley hasn't seen?" Jiying, don't get dizzy. ”

"But ......"

"But do you really like him?"

“……”

She sighed, "Well, if possible, why don't you go to London and ask him about it!" ”

It was Jane's silence that answered Elizabeth, and after standing there for a moment, Jane forced a smile and changed the subject, "You see that Mr. Darcy is not so cold and arrogant. ”

"That's just because we're not that noisy!" Elizabeth rolled her eyes quietly, "The whole world knows how happy Miss Caroline will be, that gentleman adores her, and I have never seen Mr. Darcy put his arrogance on Miss Caroline anyway." ”

Jane blinked, "Speaking of which, it seems to be true. ”

"So, I'm still obediently thinking about how to talk to my cousin about the divorce!" Elizabeth sighed with a headache, "Charlotte also said she was coming, what do you say she has a heart?" ”

"How do you talk, Licui!"

"Originally! I'm not stupid, come to see me at this time, and what do you miss me...... You say you can not make people think about it! ”

"What ......?"

"Tsk, anyway, I'll know when the time comes, and she won't hurt me."

"That's what I said......"

###

Why is there no FFF regiment at this time?

Caroline says she's going blind!

Can't you just have a good meal?! Does she have to watch Miss Margaret's impromptu performance? And Blair, you still cooperate with her?! What about the gentle and elegant gentleman who said yes?! What's the difference between you and the idiot now!

At Baddeley's invitation, she sat down at the Hall family's dinner table and then enjoyed a feeding show for more than half an hour (...... Is it really good that you guys are so ahead of your time?

Caroline looked at the two of them in shock, and the people on the side seemed to be surprised by this, and Mr. Baddeley Hall took the sausage from the plate in front of them and ate it in a serious way.

Wait, are you sure you're a nobleman?

Finally retracting her surprise, Caroline silently stuffed the salad into her mouth, and heard Margaret's chuckle, and she looked up for no reason to see that everyone around her was looking at her.

Caroline: "......? ”

"Caroline, I really think you're a good fit for our family!" Margaret suddenly spoke, "Why don't you marry my cousin!" ”

Caroline: "???? ”

Blair was still smiling on the side, "Although Margaret is usually fine, but living at home is more casual, which is what I like more." ”

Caroline: "............"

The groove was shown off......

Baddeley Hall sneered, "Caroline, we've shown you the truest side, but what about your manifestation?" ”

Caroline: ...... Oh, it's a routine again, hehe.

Today, the girl who has been tricked N times in a row said that she has seen it clearly, and there are really no kind people in this world.

"Then I'll ask first, I'm the first person to come to Hall's house as a guest."

"Ahem." Margaret smiled awkwardly, "You're the first!" The old ones were all door-to-door! I dare say my brother didn't stay with them for ten minutes before they were sent home! ”

Baddeley: ...... Sister, what are you talking about?!

Caroline nodded, unable to see anything on her face, and put down the dishes lightly, "So, am I staying here tonight?" ”

"Of course! I'm inviting you to be a guest......"

"Hmm." She fiddled with the cup in her hand twice, "What are you going to do tomorrow?" ”

Baddeley put away the embarrassment, "What does Caroline want to do?" ”

"Sir, I'd like to visit your factory, is that okay?"

"Oh! Of course! Baddeley blinked, "I didn't forget that I came to ask the young lady to 'cooperate' together!" ”

——*——*——*——*——*——*——*——*——*——*——*——*——

To the east of London, there is a large industrial area.

In fact, according to the class, it should be better to call the slum there.

In the east of London, on the other side of the harbour, the streets are very crowded and the houses are densely built, because most of the factories are there, so many workers live near the factories, working during the day and studying or resting at night.

The people here are more or less extreme, the ordinary workers are fine, but there are some people who are cynical about the world and hate the rich, so there are hardly any upper-class people here.

When Caroline heard that the Hall family's metallurgical plant was in the central area of the east, she hesitated for a moment, it stands to reason that the place in the central area of the east is the best place for the construction of the factory, with many workers, little pollution, and the streets extend in all directions, which is easy to transport.

Baddeley Hale saw Caroline's hesitation, he smiled gently, his blonde hair glistening in the sun, "Don't worry about Caroline, I'll protect you." ”

Caroline: "......"

Because flush toilets have only been around for 40 years, they have not yet become widespread in places like the east, where there are many poor people, and people do not have the property to buy such things, so they still use the old way, filling excrement in jars and dumping it on the road or in the ditch.

Even though the royal family ordered to keep the streets clean, it still didn't do much in the ghetto, and the smell was a little disgusting.

Baddeley Hall's carriage stopped at the factory gate, and Caroline carefully disembarked from the carriage with her skirt in her hand, finally understanding the other purpose of high heels.

There are not many metallurgical factories in London, such as Bentley's metallurgical plant is not in London, but is established in Birmingham along with the coal mining plant, so this is the first time Caroline has visited the metallurgical plant.

The temperature in the factories was somewhat high, and although it was already winter, the weather in London was still tepid, so the coal mining and metallurgical industry could continue.

With the first industrial revolution, most factories were equipped with steam engines, which greatly reduced the difficulty of people's work.

As soon as they came down from the entrance, a man with thick eyebrows and big eyes came up, his hair waxed and combed back to reveal his shiny head, and his gray-blue eyes were deep and intense, tall and very muscular.

Caroline thought that this was a gentleman of some family, maybe a friend of Baron Hall, but she didn't expect Baddeley to introduce him like this, "Caroline, this is the head of my factory, Mr. George Stephenson, he will take us here for a tour." ”

"Hello, Mr. Stephenson, I'm Caroline Bentley, and it's a pleasure to meet you." Caroline blinked, feeling that Mr. Stephenson seemed to have blown up their family's David, and thinking of David's thin figure, Caroline "......" for a moment.

Baddley said to her: "George came from Newcastle in the North East of England, for a very good gentleman, he studied a lot about engines and pumps there, and I came to London and I was impressed by it!" ”

Seeing the expression of "begging for praise and compliment" on a certain baron's face, Caroline twitched the corner of her mouth and said perfunctorily, "Mmmmmmmm ”

Baddeley: "......"

Stephenson laughed out loud, and he nodded kindly to Caroline, "Miss, it's not as good as Mr. Hall said, I just happened to meet a kind person like Mr. Hall." ”

"That can't be said of that, I'd love to say George, you're right, but—Caroline, George is working on something new!" If such a thing came out, then George had an immeasurable future......

This was the first time Caroline had seen a childlike look on Baron Hall's face, and she couldn't help but be a little curious, "What is it?" ”

"Want to know?" Baddeley smiled and betrayed his heart with a fox-like twinkle in his eyes, "Work with me, Miss?" ”

"Is it an order?"

"Of course — no, it's a request." Baddeley tilted his head, bowing down to make him full of grace, "Caroline, I'm sincere in cooperating with you." ”

"Why don't you tell us?" Caroline didn't react, unmoved by the beauty in front of her, hmph, she'd seen Mr. Darcy's fruit (?). You're nothing!

- I don't care, what I watch on TV counts!

When Stephenson saw the two of them, he said with some joy, "Mr. Hall, this young lady and you are really a good match!" Ignoring Caroline's momentary twitching face, he continued with great interest, "Well, let me introduce my work, even though he's still a half-finished product. ”

Mr. Stephenson's invention may seem ordinary to later generations, but if those who are familiar with history probably know that something that crossed the ages and changed the way people traveled, it was the train.

According to Stephenson, such a thing is called a "steam locomotive", and he wanted to use Mr. Watt's modified steam engine as a power engine to build something that could replace a horse-drawn carriage.

"After all, I'm a northerner from Newcastle!" He shrugged helplessly, "It's been a long journey, you won't want to know how many swamps I've traversed, I didn't meet the kind Mr. Hall at that time." ”

As soon as the words fell, Caroline, who was still in shock, suddenly said in her heart that she would shoot the boss's ass in any era......

While that's not the point, Caroline is pretty ready now.

The father of railway locomotives! The father of the railway locomotive appeared alive in front of him!

I saw God_(:зゝ∠)_

Caroline swallowed, suppressing the expression on her face, she didn't expect to meet Stephenson, the gentleman who invented the steam locomotive and the first train.

Hall is really a blessing in what life, there is such a person in his own factory, this is the rhythm of making a fortune!

Instinctively began to calculate the problem of income and cost, the elementary school scholar from the accounting background couldn't help but hammer the wall strongly in his heart, how could their Bentley family not meet such a worker! It seems that he will be kind to David in the future, in case he becomes David Copperfield one day, she Caroline can climb a relative anyway, hehe, is it possible?

No matter how excited you are in your heart, as a qualified lady, and still a lady of a merchant family, you have to learn not to understand the voice, especially in the face of cunning businessmen and nobles, you can't show the joy of catching a big fish.

Otherwise, if the contract is not negotiated, you will have to lose money.

So, Caroline nodded slightly, "Well, Mr. Stephenson's idea is very powerful, I never thought that the original steam engine could have such an effect, I am a little curious, can I go and see it?" It was a pleasure to see Stephenson, but Badley Hale showed a somewhat hesitant expression, and Caroline took another dose of fierce medicine, "After all, Mr. Hall must have heard this sentence, what he sees does not deceive, and our cooperation needs to show sincerity." ”

Baddeley Hall approached Miss Bentley for three reasons. First, he really fell in love with the talent of Miss Bentley's family, whether it was from the mouth of the dock owner that day, or Margaret's statement, it showed that she really had a talent for business, but at this time, women were not in business after all, and he was still a little worried, but after secretly going to Bentley's wool products factory in London, he completely felt that this young lady's method was too good, and how could he not think of such a thing as division of labor? So he used it in his own factory.

Second, the brothers and sisters of the Bentley family and Darcy are very true, if they can cooperate with Bentley first, how can they establish a good relationship with Darcy in the future, although the Hall family does not covet the property of the Darcy family, but who doesn't want to have the opportunity to make money through win-win cooperation? Baddeley also thought, but Darcy is a stone, he can't gnaw it down, he can see that Darcy is very different from Miss Caroline, don't doubt the eyes of a man who spends his days in the wind and snow, otherwise you must have done something stupid.

Third, it's very simple. The Hall family can't live without a hostess, right? Caroline Bingley is a good fit for Hall in every way, maybe not aristocratic, but they don't mind.

Even the Hale family was just a title handed down from his great-grandfather, and Baddeley felt that a hostess who was in his favor was more profitable than other aristocratic ladies who had been shoehorned into him.

As for Margaret, she once asked him if he really had a crush on her friend. How did you answer at the time? Baddeley remembers telling Margaret that he wasn't really a playboy either, after all, sometimes it was a social need, and that he admired and liked the low-key Miss Bingley, and really hoped that she could be the mistress of the Hall family.

Margaret naturally thought that her cousin meant that he wanted to take care of it, and that he would love Caroline well and live a good life with her.

The innocent young lady was immediately happy, discussed with her Blair relatives, happily agreed to her cousin's request, went to visit Bentley's house, and brought Caroline back by the way, and waited with joy for her to become her sister-in-law.

But that's not what Baddeley meant.

Although he did not lie, he did appreciate and liked this young lady, and wanted her to be Mrs. Hall, but, when it came to love, he probably didn't really think of such a thing.

He Baddeley Hall has never been bothered by love. Naturally, I didn't really say it.

But he didn't mind pretending to be in love with Miss Caroline, for she was indeed very good, and that was his goal.

- Therefore, no business is not "traitor".

These Carolines didn't know, even if they vaguely guessed the reason why Mr. Hall was looking for her cooperation, but that was not confirmed after all, so she just saw the treacherous Baddeley Hall bow her head and think about it, and immediately agreed to her proposal.

"Absolutely, I'm looking forward to working with Miss Caroline."

Baddeley: Speaking of which, I really want to see the look on Darcy's face when the time comes┑( ̄Д ̄)┍
