16. Chapter XVI
In the eyes of Charles Bingley, there are not so many bad people in this world, and whoever is good to him is a good person.
In Jane Bennett's eyes, even if there are bad people in this world, they will not appear around her, and the people around her are good people.
What should I say, Caroline touched her chin, in a way, these two people really matched.
But if such a person with a similar personality and off the line is together, he won't jump in his future life, right?
The more she thought about it, the more she thought it was possible, and Caroline twitched the corners of her mouth, and her heart became more and more admiring of Mr. Darcy's foresight, and besides, she really couldn't bear Mrs. Bennett's loud voice and weak and pitiful nerves.
Seeing Jane Bennett change her clothes and come out, her face was still slightly red from the bath, Caroline paused for a moment, and her eyes instantly reddened, ah, it's really a beauty_(:ะทใโ )_I really want to touch my chest, can I_(:ะทใโ )_
Jane was startled by Miss Bingley's eyes, and stood there with a wink, "Miss Bingley, I'm really embarrassed to let you see me like this......"
The more she spoke, the redder she became, and Jane couldn't help but blame herself in her heart, how could she lose face in front of Miss Bingley, so wolf bรจi was ridiculously seen by Charles's sister, this, this couldn't be more embarrassing.
Caroline looked at Miss Jane, who was caught in her inner world, and felt that she couldn't let it go any longer, so she coughed lightly and said, "Miss Bennett doesn't care, I didn't expect the weather, I thought you would come by carriage - although that might not be very good." She smiled gracefully, not overly courting the Bennett lady.
However, she could not see that people were really sick, and that the precautions that should be done had to be done, so she called Mrs. Fafa and told her to bring the freshly boiled hot milk.
"Actually, ginger tea can also ward off the cold, but we came in a hurry, and there is no preparation here, Miss Bennett should drink some hot milk." She pushed the milk towards Jane, and seeing that the other party was a little flattered, Caroline smiled and said, "The weather here is really changeable, and it's still sunny in the morning." โ
Jane Bennett took a sip of milk and nodded, "That's right, although this is a good place to spend summer, sometimes the weather is really uncertain." โ
"It's the same with London, and if it weren't for the rain and the heat, I guess Charles wouldn't be happy to come here."
Seeing Caroline take the initiative to talk about Charles, Jane's face turned red again, "Doesn't Mr. Bingley like it here?" โ
Caroline looked at her amusedly, "That's not it, as long as he's not in London, he likes everything." โ
"Miss Bingley, isn't it a little too ...... to say that" Jane was stunned, a little embarrassed, she actually knew, decent ladies and gentlemen were innumerable in London, and she had not been that far away.
Caroline changed the subject, "Looks like Miss Jane is going to stay overnight tonight." โ
"Huh?"
"There's no way, judging from this rain, it's hard to stop, and the carriage isn't there." Caroline pursed her lips, "Luisa should be back in a while, Charles, they'll be late, why don't we wait for Luisa to come back and have dinner?" โ
"Miss Bingley will arrange it." As soon as she heard that she could see Charles, Jane's face couldn't help but blush, she was too easily shy, although such a Miss Jane was very beautiful.
After a while, they chatted about the scenery and people of Longborn, and Caroline said that she had recently developed a good impression of the countryside, so Jane happily told her about the daily pastimes of the people here.
Speaking of late in the day, and not seeing the return of Charles and Mr. Darcy, Miss Jane Bennett felt a little heavy because of the rain, so she had to go upstairs to rest.
Caroline had a room packed for her, upstairs above herself and Charles.
When Charles rushed back in a hurry, Caroline innocently said that Miss Jane had gone to rest, and seeing that Charles still looked like a large dog with a drooping head, she patted her brother's shoulder with a smile, "Thank you so much, I helped you keep Miss Jane." โ
Darcy acted as a background and didn't say a word about it.
Early the next morning, Caroline was woken up, Louisa was arguing with Hearst in the living room, there was something to do over trivial things, Caroline rubbed her forehead with a headache, and when she went out, she happened to run into Mr. Darcy next door, and both of them were stunned.
"Good morning, sir."
"Good morning, miss."
The two of them spoke in unison, and after glancing at each other, Darcy couldn't help but relax, and Caroline laughed, and she shouted to Louisa, who was losing her temper downstairs, "Hey! Luisa, don't be angry, go see Mrs. Magic's breakfast? I don't think Mr. Hearst would have been so angry at breakfast. โ
With that, she nodded to Darcy and went upstairs, wanting to see Miss Jane, who had stayed overnight last night.
She knocked on the door, and after a noise came from inside the door, a small voice said, "Who?" โ
Caroline paused, sighed in her heart, it was time to come, "Miss Bennett, I'm Caroline, may I come in?" โ
"Yes, Miss Bingley."
Caroline pushed the door in, and saw the already slender girl leaning sickly on the bed, her face flushed, her eyes shining with water, and she spoke, her voice hoarse, "I'm sorry Miss Bingley, it seems that I'm causing you trouble again." โ
"You're a cold, aren't you?" Caroline frowned, the cold is a bit troublesome at this time, it can't become an inflammation.
Jane nodded with difficulty.
Caroline covered her head and stepped forward to lay her down, "Miss Bennett, lie down, I'll have some water poured out, you drink a little, and then Charles will call the doctor, you'll be fine, don't worry." โ
Jane nodded, looking at Caroline with wide eyes, as if she wanted to say something.
Caroline thought for a moment, "Are you afraid that your family will worry?" I'll help you write a letter to Mr. Bennett, Miss Bennett, and you have a good rest. โ
With that, she strode out the door, "Mr. Darcy, where is my brother?" โ
Seeing her anxious appearance, Darcy was also stunned, "Charles is in the room, he should have woken up." โ
"Then go and wake him up, I went to Miss Jane's room just now, and found that she seems to have been drenched in the rain yesterday and has a bit of a cold, are we going to call a doctor to take a look?!"
When Darcy heard this, he immediately understood the severity of the situation, "Miss Caroline, don't worry, I happen to know a doctor around here, and I'll go and ask him now." โ
The two of them were talking in a loud voice, and Charles immediately rushed out of the room when he heard it, "What?!" Miss Jane is fine, right!? I'll go get a doctor, but I'm going to see her first! Why is it a cold! โ
Caroline rolled her eyes, "Brother, go to the doctor after you finish reading, Miss Jane is having a fever, I'll write to the Bennett family, you go in and be light." โ
Darcy sent for a doctor, and when Louisa came out of the kitchen, she said dissatisfiedly, "Didn't you just ask Mrs. Fafa to prepare breakfast, Caroline?" Why did you start letting it get wine again? โ
"Miss Bennett has a cold and is feverish, and I'm going to cool her down first." Caroline didn't raise her head, and the angry Louisa stared.
"Why are you so delicate! I was also out in the rain yesterday, how come I'm okay?! Aren't the countrymen even as good as the ladies?! โ
Darcy frowned invisibly, and stepped aside to look out the window, he didn't care much about it, but if Miss Bennett was sick at Bingley, he wouldn't feel well.
"Okay Luisa, let's say a few words, this is not something we can control." Caroline was helpless, she gave the letter she had written, and asked her to hurry to deliver it, and she took the wine from Mrs. Fafa, and called Sissi over.
Seeing that she had taken a bottle of whiskey and was about to go upstairs with the maid, Darcy put down the newspaper in his hand, "Miss Caroline?" He frowned, "Miss, whiskey can't be used as a cold potion now, so let's wait for the doctor to come." โ
Caroline was stunned, "Huh? No, no, sir, you misunderstood, I just want to wipe Miss Jane's body first, so that it can cool down. โ
Whisky was used in the 15th century as a cold repellent, but over the centuries it has evolved and become more sophisticated, and now it can only be seen as a drink.
Darcy nodded, and his gaze continued to look out the window, waiting for the doctor to arrive.
Miss Jane, who was sick, was almost at the mercy of others, and Caroline asked Sissi to wipe her forehead and hands, and after a few repetitions, her body temperature dropped slightly.
Caroline, who was sitting next to her, asked, "Are you feeling better?" โ
Jane nodded, grateful to this Miss Bingley, she felt more and more that the young ladies she met were all good people, she didn't dislike herself but stayed here and looked at herself, Jane lowered her head in shame, embarrassed for the trouble she had caused.
Soon the doctor was invited, and after a little diagnosis, he said to the panicked Charles, "It's just an ordinary cold, it hasn't infected the lungs, just drink the medicine for two days and have a good rest, the temperature will slowly drop, be careful not to eat fishy and spicy things." โ
The doctor nodded at Caroline, he had done the right thing to cool the patient before he came, so that he wouldn't have a high fever again.
Darcy sent the doctor away, and Caroline and Charles sat on Jane's bedside, and Caroline looked out the window, "Miss Bennett, rest well, and when Mrs. Fafa's breakfast is ready, I'll let her bring some." โ
Jane nodded, her gaze darkened.
"If nothing else, someone from your family may come back to see you." Caroline smiled slightly in Jane's surprised eyes, "So don't worry, get some sleep." โ
Meanwhile, on the muddy road after the rain, a girl jumped over a puddle and hurried towards the manor.
