30. Chapter XXXIV

"Darcy?" Charles buttoned up and came out of the room, "You're here so early?" ”

Charles walked as he spoke, he deliberately changed into a dark brown coat with golden silk threads on it, which sparkled in the sun, the coat was very slim, and the bow tie was also changed to an off-white one, with a very complicated knot.

"How's that, what do you think of me?" As he spoke, he spun around in a circle and flashed his shiny leather shoes in front of Caroline, "What do you say, Caroline?" ”

Darcy's hand was still on the back of Caroline's hand, and as soon as Charles came out, Caroline shrank in fright, and her hand moved, and the two realized this at the same time, and looked at each other, reading the embarrassment in each other's eyes.

Caroline withdrew her hand and picked up the hot chocolate again, and Darcy coughed lightly and glanced up and down at her friend, "Charles, what are you doing here?" Dressed like this? Is it going to the prom? ”

Didn't he hear there was a ball in London today? Darcy was puzzled.

The corners of Caroline's eyes twitched, "Brother, you won't be because of ...... Mr. Hall, you're dressed like this, aren't you? ”

Baron Hall? Baddley Hall? Darcy was stunned, and his face immediately became strange, Charles dressed like this to see Baron Hall? How? Dig in the back of the wall?

Charles blushed, "Hey! Why do you always tear down my platform! I'm your brother, Caroline! ”

Really...... Darcy rubbed the bridge of his nose helplessly, rather speechless, so what happened to his friend and Baron Hall?

"Brother, why are you like this?!" Caroline chuckled, "It can't be because you want to compete with him, right?" OMG Charles! It's just in London's East End, and you have to go to such great lengths to clean yourself up? I bet you, Baron Hall looks better than you without dressing up! ”

Charles was immediately dissatisfied, "Caroline! You're my sister! How are you always looking at outsiders! Why! ”

Caroline grimaced, "Just because he's blonde!" ”

- Blonde and blue-eyed handsome guy Saigao! What is there to argue about such a thing! The appeal was also dismissed!

Charles: "......" He knew that his sister was a pit girl.

Darcy listened with no overt expression on his face, and he said, "Charles, are you going to see Baron Hall?" ”

"That's right!" Charles nodded, "He sent a letter and asked us to send someone to the factory." ”

Darcy's eyes vaguely crossed over Caroline, "Are you going alone?" ”

When Charles heard this, he was also stunned and went to the ...... by himself Seems a little lonely, right? "Ah, then Caroline and I'll be fine!"

Darcy:............

Pig teammates! This is Pig Mate! Darcy felt a heavy sense of powerlessness in his heart, and he swore that he would help him, but now he learns to tear down the stage in minutes!

He meant that Charles, you can go as long as you go, Caroline and I can be at home, why do you have to let her join you?!

Charles saw that Darcy's face was wrong, and immediately said "ah", and he laughed dryly, "Caroline......"

The girl nodded solemnly, "I think what you said makes sense, I should go with you, what do you think?" ”

Darcy:............

Brother, it's not that I don't help you.

Charles glanced at Darcy sadly and nodded with difficulty, "Caroline, it's good if you're happy." He watched Caroline go back to change her clothes, and her IQ suddenly went online, "Hey! Wait, Caroline! What if you say we're all gone? You can't leave Darcy at home, can you? How bad is that! ”

Mr. Darcy he ...... Aren't you leaving???

Caroline was surprised, "So, Mr. Darcy with us?" ”

Just wait for this sentence! Darcy immediately said, "Yes, I don't have any other arrangements for today, I can go with you and Miss Caroline." ”

With that, he got up and went outside Bentley's house, and asked the servants waiting at the door to prepare the carriage.

Caroline said that the environment in the East End of London is very poor, and if Charles you wear it too perfectly and get dirty, it will not be easy to clean up, Charles was skeptical, and finally chose to listen to his sister.

No way, he's always had soft ears.

The three of them got into the carriage together, and Darcy asked Charles about his property.

"I haven't thought about it yet." He shook his head, "Because we only went to Netherfield Manor, but I actually think it's a great place to spend a vacation, and it doesn't fit Caroline's intentions." ”

Darcy was stunned, he always thought that the purchase of real estate was Charles's meaning, and their family had land, so he was curious why he wanted to buy real estate, wouldn't it be good to take care of the land of the Bentley family?

Charles glanced at Caroline, who was sleeping next to him, and lowered his voice, "Anyway, I'll think about it again." ”

Darcy noticed that Charles's eyes were much softer, and he looked at his sister who was asleep next to him, and there was some wistfulness in his tone, "Caroline has been more mature than me since I was a child, and until now, I always feel that she is the sister, and I am the one who needs to be taken care of." She did a lot for me, and I probably understood what I wanted to do for her. - She's working hard. ”

Darcy didn't speak, and the matter of Charles and Miss Bennett made him understand some things about the Bingley family, such as Charles was indeed very soft-eared, and Mrs. Hearst was not really that bad, at least she was sincere to her younger siblings.

Charles sighed, "Fitzwilliam, do you know why I helped you?" - My sister is very sought-after, and Baron Hall, who is also after Caroline! ”

"Really......" Darcy muttered.

"What are you talking about?" Charles said.

"Nothing. Charles, what do you want to say? ”

"I want to say......" Charles looked at the building outside the window and sped up his speech, "I help you because I think you can bring happiness to my sister, I have known you for a long time, and I believe in your personality and style." Caroline, she was a girl who didn't say anything, she and Sara were the opposite, we couldn't find out when she was sick when she was a child, or Mrs. Fafa, who helped her wash her hair every time, was the first to know, she was only seven years old at that time! ”

When he said this, Charles had some remorse on his face, "I always feel like I owe her a lot...... If I could, I wouldn't want her to meddle in those factories or anything like that, so that's why I rejected her from contacting David. ”

Darcy froze, it turned out that Charles had heard himself and Miss Caroline in the room, and he couldn't bear to speak until now.

Caroline slept soundly, and last night she had broken her head for that embroidery.

When she woke up, the two pairs of eyes in front of her were staring at her, she was startled, quickly touched the corner of her mouth, and then looked at Charles embarrassedly, "What's wrong?" Why don't you call me?! ”

"It's not there yet, let's get some more sleep."

Caroline turned her head to look out the window, ignoring her brother.

###

Caroline was right, Baron Hall was not deliberately dressed, but he stood there like an oil painting, his golden hair shining in the sun, his blue eyes deep and hazy, and when he turned to look at you, the right amount of melancholy could suffocate you.

It's no wonder that everyone says that Baron Hall and Mr. Darcy are the most popular men in social situations.

One is like the sun and the other is like the moon.

Charles sighed, although he thought he was not bad, but compared to these two, it was still a little worse, obviously he didn't care about his appearance, but he found that a good face was also an advantage.

Badley Hall turned his head and smiled when he saw the carriage stop, "Charles! Caroline, you're here! - Ah, Mr. Darcy, good afternoon. ”

Seeing Baron Hall's somewhat distorted smile for a moment, Caroline laughed unkindly, "Good afternoon, sir." ”

Charles walked over and patted Baddeley on the shoulder, "Good afternoon, Baddeley." Darcy also came with us, and he was standing in our house as a guest, and you won't mind! ”

Can I say I mind!? Baddeley Holjan chuckled, "I don't mind, Mr. Darcy, it's been a long time. ”

Darcy didn't sell his face, and reached out to shake him, "I just met it not long ago, Baron Hall, good afternoon." I came with Miss Caroline, the East End of London, after all, it is not very safe, one more person is one more insurance. ”

"Oh yes, yes. You're right. Hall nodded, then ignored him as he pulled Charles by, "George is ready to go, do you want to see him?" Even if he didn't want to, George said he wanted to meet Caroline. ”

"See what Caroline does!" Charles was surprised, frowning by the way, "Does my sister know him?" ”

"George Stephenson." Baddeley was helpless, "Your investee." ”

Caroline and Stephenson had already met, just as Charles and Baddeley Hall were arguing.

Darcy stood behind Caroline, watching her talk to a very energetic man, not knowing what to think.

"Miss, it may be a little abrupt for me to ask to see you alone." Stephenson smiled softly, "However, I understand Miss's difficulties, please believe me, I, George Stephenson, will definitely not disappoint your expectations, Miss Bingley." I know it's not easy for me to think, but it's not easy for you, Miss, eitherβ€”I appreciate you and respect you. ”

Caroline was stunned for a moment, then laughed, her eyes narrowed slightly, and she was a little moved.

"Thank you, Mr. Stephenson. Newcastle is cold, right? I haven't been there yet, and when your reality is successful, please be sure to inform me that I'm going to meet you there, and by the way, enjoy the cold that I haven't felt before. ”

"Oh! Absolutely! Miss. ”

When Darcy heard this, he only felt a shock in his chest, and he silently clenched his fists.

He had never seen Miss Caroline like this, just Miss Caroline who smiled with relief because of a word.

And he couldn't bring her such a smile.
