Not to mention whether Sara stayed at Bentley's house or not, just to say that Caroline observed Charles for a long time and came to the conclusion that this guy definitely doesn't hate Miss Sara as much as he said!

Although this kind of thing can't be forced, Charles is indeed of marriageable age_(:зゝ∠)_ In order not to let others think that he has some hidden ♂ ♂ disease ♂, Caroline broke her heart.

Since Charles and Sara are in a state of being willing to fight and suffer, then in fact, Caroline is happy to see it, although the young lady is really a little strange, but if Charles can accept it, she doesn't care.

- She's getting married anyway, Koko.

It was Christmas a few days before Miss Sarah Hill was a guest.

As soon as Hanukkah in the Jewish diocese ended, Trafalgar Square was once again in the crowd because Christmas Eve was just around the corner.

Whether you are religious or not, no one in London will refuse a Christmas dinner, as well as a Christmas revelry.

Winter in London doesn't snow a lot, but there's still a strong Christmas spirit, with red and green ornaments hanging in street shops, mistletoe and garlands hanging from windows, and all kinds of cookies and orange gingerbread on sale.

The rotisserie is full of sweet meats and pies in front of the window early, and the wine is also placed in the most conspicuous place, just waiting for the owner of the house to be lazy and go out to buy the finished Christmas dinner.

Caroline hurried to go to the bank with Charles before this day came, and the cooperation between the Bentley family and the Hall family officially began, and it was planned to be carried out after Christmas, but Caroline suddenly remembered that after Christmas was Boxing Day, and it would be very busy at that time, after all, the Bentley family also had a lot of servants, and they still needed to go to church to distribute unused things to those children.

Hearing that Mr. Darcy and Georgiana were coming to the Bingley house to spend Christmas with them, Caroline personally supervised Mrs. Fafa's Christmas dinner, and Charles joked that she was becoming more and more like a hostess, and that she could get married.

Caroline also sent a letter to ask Louisa and Mr. Hearst if they wanted to spend Christmas together, and Mr. Hearst wanted to be with them, but Louisa thought about it and said that the weather was bad these days, and there was probably a light snow, so she didn't come to London, and when Christmas was over, she would spend the New Year together.

Early in the morning of Christmas, there was a knock on the door of Bingley's house, and Darcy came with Georgiana and Christmas presents.

"Caroline, this is my brother's personal choice, do you think you like it?"

Georgiana's eyes lit up, and she said a little shyly, she had heard from the servant that her brother had always been abnormal recently, and he had been in a daze many times.

Georgiana was wrapped in a thick scarf, obviously not too cold, but Darcy was always afraid that her sister would be sick, and Caroline was even more so, who made her born afraid of the cold.

Darcy avoided Caroline's gaze a little uncomfortably when he heard his sister say this, and he hadn't been in contact with Miss Caroline for a long time since that talk.

When Caroline heard this, she was slightly stunned, and this was the second time she had brought the gift from last time.

She took it and smiled, "Really? Then thank you, sir, I also prepared Christmas gifts, in the room, why don't you come in and have a look? ”

"Of course! - Brother, is that okay? With that, Georgiana glanced at her brother cautiously, wanting to follow Caroline, but Darcy nodded, as if she had been given some candy.

To be honest, Caroline likes Georgiana very much, and especially when she knows what kind of things she has encountered, she is even more distressed, in general, although Georgiana is still a little introverted now, she is already trying to become cheerful, and she is developing in a good direction, what is she not happy about?

Darcy followed into the room and saw Caroline walking into the room with Georgiana as if she had forgotten about him as a guest.

Charles teased, "Darcy, I've never seen you run to our house so often. ”

Darcy retracted his gaze and said lightly, "Charles, don't you welcome me?" ”

"How is that possible! Hey, man, no one, I'm looking forward to your arrival, and I'm sure Caroline is the same. ”

"Caroline?" Darcy pursed her lips, not sure how to proceed.

Charles's green eyes narrowed slightly, "Tell me, what else can't I say?" This time you came, I felt like something had happened between you and Caroline, what, did you quarrel? ”

Darcy paused, "Charles, when are you going to watch this kind of thing?" ”

"How smart I am!"

"So, have you taken care of your own business?"

The corners of Charles's mouth froze, "Hey, Darcy......"

The handsome man smiled lightly, "Merry Christmas, Charles." ”

“…… Merry Christmas. ”

"By the way, don't you really tell me what's going on?" Charles gossiped over and snatched a piece of gingerbread from Darcy's hand, which was baked by Caroline, not big or small, one for two.

Darcy glanced at him and took another piece from his plate, he didn't really like this sweet and greasy thing, but it was not impossible to taste it once in a while.

"I really want to know?"

"Of course." Charles slapped his thigh and couldn't wait to speak.

"Charles, what do you think of me being your brother-in-law?"

"Brother-in-law?" Charles was stunned, where did he come from brother-in-law?

Suddenly, the Bentley's brother stared wide, and turned his head to look at the man with a calm face, "Darcy, are you joking with me?" ”

"Like?"

Charles laughed and patted him on the shoulder, "Come on!" I don't know about you yet! Sooner or later, I've been asking you if you have a crush on our Caroline, do you remember what you said yourself? - Ah, Charles, that's your sister, and I respect Miss Caroline. - Listen, that's what you said at the time, right? ”

He still remembered that Fitzwilliam at that time still had some disdain for Caroline, jokes, although his Charles's sister was not the best, but in the eyes of his brother, Caroline's advantages outweighed the disadvantages.

He knew that Darcy had a high vision, and he had to be high, and he didn't like his sister, and he Charles didn't force it, but what was going on now? Going to eat back grass again?

- Hey, why is this so strange?

"Fitzwilliam, I don't believe it, it's Christmas, don't lie to me." Charles glanced at the person in front of him suspiciously, and the man still calmly entered.

"Charles, I never lie."

"I'm not lying!" Charles stood up excitedly, walked around in place, and glanced at his friend from time to time, he struggled for a long time, and said, "Fitzwilliam, are you serious?" ”

Darcy didn't speak, and took another piece of gingerbread from his plate.

"God! Merry Christmas! Charles couldn't help but say, "Then how can I not help you!" ”

The fickle Charles. Darcy smiled in his heart and nodded quietly on his face, "Thank you Charles." ”

"Does my sister know about this?"

Darcy let out an "um," said Darcy, "I have a message to Miss Caroline, Charles, that this is a gentleman's obligation." But she didn't give me an answer. ”

"That's for sure, you must have scared her!" Charles was serious, "All of a sudden, even I was scared by you, when did you do this?" ”

Darcy was slightly stunned, "Not long ago......"

He met Elizabeth Bennett in Meliton that day, and when he looked into his eyes, he felt a palpitation in his heart, and he was inexplicably in a strange mood.

When he reacted, he realized that it was not because he saw Elizabeth Bennett, but because he saw her eyes and thought of those gray-green eyes.

It's Caroline.

Georgiana opened the packaged gift box, which contained several sheet music.

"I've compiled some piano scores, and I've heard that Georgiana has been very interested in piano recently." Caroline smiled and opened her mouth, and when she saw that the little girl suddenly blushed, she said in a hesitant voice, "Did my brother say that to you?" Actually, I just listened to Caroline's tune last time, and it was very good, so I want to learn more......"

Caroline smiled and stroked the girl's hair, "I think you're already great." "Her piano is a half-ass, not very good, but she can handle the past.

I prepared such things for Georgiana, on the one hand, because she liked them, and on the other hand, I actually felt that the little girl had no friends, and Mr. Darcy was not there on weekdays, and the only thing that could accompany her was probably the music she liked.

"Really?" Georgiana's eyes widened, "Well, Caroline tell me something!" ”

Caroline: ...... I was caught off guard by the fact that the topic changed so quickly.

"What...... Affair? ”

Georgiana smiled, "Caroline, tell me what happened to you and your brother?" ”

“…… What can happen, don't guess. ”

"I don't believe it!" Georgiana pouted, she couldn't figure out anything, so she might as well ask her brother herself, "Then Caroline, shall we go down?" ”

Christmas lunch has never been very important, and they see Christmas Eve dinner as a must-have.

After lunch, Georgiana curiously followed Caroline to the kitchen to see what she was doing, but what she didn't expect was to see her brother staring at Miss Caroline at the kitchen door.

"Brother??"

The person whose name was called froze and slowly turned his head, "Georgiana, what's the matter?" ”

Georgiana blinked, "I want to ask my brother too, do you have anything to do here?" ”

Darcy: "...... I'll help Charles return the plates, and the gingerbread is finished. ”

Georgiana: You don't know if you leave me a little bit, do you?!

And at this moment, the lady in the kitchen wiped her hands and came out when she heard the movement, "Georgiana, Mr. Darcy?" Did something happen? It's all standing here......"

Both spoke at the same time.
