37. Chapter 41

It may be that Miss Caroline Bingley's face is too stiff, Charles can't look past it and wants to break the siege, and because of the customer's face, he can't say too strict words, and his handsome face is red.

Colonel Fitzwilliam glanced at Darcy with a smirk, "Madam, you don't have to ask that, I think if Darcy is ready to introduce that young lady to you, he will definitely take the initiative to tell you." ”

Madame Catherine de Baul was blocked by him, and her sharp eyes swept over Caroline, who froze and did not know what to do, and she said, "Initiative? I haven't seen that word in Darcy! - Okay, Fitzwilliam, you don't have to defend yourself, I'll judge for myself. ”

She looked at Caroline again with scrutiny, the property of the Bentley family she knew, and the relatives were also within the acceptable range, as far as talent, taste, and morality were concerned......

"Darcy, how's Georgia doing? Are you still practicing? Lady Catherine shifted the subject and pointed the finger at Mr. Darcy's sister.

Miss Caroline didn't seem to let Miss Caroline go anyway, and Darcy paused and replied, "She's still practising her skills seriously, and she'll have a teacher to teach her something on weekdays." ”

"Oh yes yes, Georgiana is fine. If I have the opportunity, I really want Anne to have a good exchange with her, after all, they are relatives, and the things in the blood are nothing that outsiders can compare, they will be very close, am I right? ”

Madame de Baul's eyes swept over Caroline, and the maiden felt only an arrow in her knee.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Mademoiselle de Baul is not in good health, so she should not be able to move much, right? Somehow, Darcy said something like this.

When Anne de Baul heard this, her face turned even paler, and she looked at her cousin miserably as if she had a pool of spring water in her eyes.

Caroline: ...... I seem to see another Lin Daiyu? It's my delusion???

Lady Catherine was angry with her own daughter, but she couldn't feel angry with her or any of her relatives present, and Caroline almost in a second decided that she was the poor one to blame.

"And Miss Bingley, what do you think of music? Do you play on weekdays? Speaking of this, I thought of Miss Bennett, who lived in Collins' house, and they were not even good at the piano, and I always told them to practice more, and if the Collins family did not have the conditions, they could come to Rosings, and the piano would satisfy her here. ”

Lady Catherine sighed, as if to show off and as if she was really sorry, "It's a pity that they always take my words as polite, and don't come to see me, an old man." ”

Caroline opened her mouth, she felt as if she should answer Madame's question, but what had she just asked? Miss Bennett? Or a piano? Oh yes, it's music!

"Well, ma'am, I only know a little bit about music, and I can't compare with Mademoiselle Anne de Ball, who is so good." Caroline had no intention of drawing the poor girl into their subject, knowing that these words were like knives, and if they were not careful, they would poke into Miss Anne's weakness, and then the pain would be magnified a hundredfold.

So she paused and said, "It's just that I'm good at the violin, and I don't have much resemblance to the piano." He shook his head regretfully, as if he were sorry that he could not play Lady Catherine's piano.

God knows what the hell was going on in her mind! I must have patted my chest in my heart and shouted for rejoicing.

A smile crossed Darcy's eyes at the thought of that look, Miss Caroline was always so lovely, so inconsistent, but so fickle that she couldn't be annoyed.

Fitzwilliam was so intrigued that he was now eager to talk to Miss Caroline Bingley and his brother, the other side of Darcy whom he had not yet seen, but who he believed he had.

Madame Catherine's breath was stunned, and she wanted to find another topic to see the young lady, but because Darcy did not say who his sweetheart was, Aunt Catherine Darcy, the bully, Madame de Baul, was depressed and fiddled with the tassels on the sofa, and then she heard her uncompetitive daughter say, "Mother, I don't feel well, can I go back to the room first?" ”

"Annie! How do you feel?! Madame de Baul was startled, and covered her forehead with hatred, and called for Mademoiselle to be sent back to her room.

Seeing this, Charles gave Darcy a look, and the latter got up and said goodbye to Lady Catherine, who could not care to keep anyone because of Miss Anne's problem, so she nodded and said yes, and would invite them again when the time came.

###

Caroline hadn't been to Kent before, so Charles wanted to show her around this time.

"Will you go to Portsmouth?"

"What?" Charles was slightly stunned, and also attracted the two gentlemen who were discussing the journey in front of him, they turned their heads, and Darcy asked, "Miss Caroline wants to go to Portsmouth?" ”

Caroline waved her hand, "No, I'm just casually talking, you can arrange it, I haven't been anywhere anyway." ”

As she spoke, she made a pitiful appearance and laughed at Colonel Fitzwilliam, "Miss Bingley is unexpectedly upright, there is nothing to entertain in Portsmouth, and the scenery is similar to here, so Darcy and I have no arrangements to go here, right, Mr. Bingley?" ”

"That's right. Caroline: Why should you visit the city of Portsmouth? Charles was puzzled.

"No, I'm just asking, please don't care." Caroline smiled dryly and shook her head, indicating that she was just saying it casually.

You know, Mr. Charles Dickens was just born! Can she say that she is simply going to bow down to her idol? A little north nose? Oh come on, they're just going to say Caroline, don't you burn out your brain.

She just wanted to roll her eyes, the anger she had received from Madame de Catherine de Baul had vanished without a trace the moment she saw the incomparably beautiful scenery here, so why do anything superfluous to make herself unhappy?

Darcy slowed his shoulders and came to Caroline's side, and although he didn't speak, his eyes were full of concern, and he knew that he had just upset Miss Caroline at his aunt's house.

"It's fine." With a look at her, she understood what Mr. Darcy was trying to say, and even she couldn't believe it, Caroline paused after blurting it out, and then pursed her lips and shook her head to indicate that it was really fine.

"I apologize for my aunt's words. I meanβ€”Miss Caroline, though she is an elder, I find some things rude to me, and I'm sorry that I didn't explain them to her, but made my aunt misunderstand you. ”

"Stop, sir." Caroline was helpless, "I'm not the scheming lady you think I am, oh, well, although sometimes I'm calculating, but that's because the Bentley family is in business - and said something you don't like to hear, sorry." ”

This apology was insincere, but Darcy thought it was funny, "Come on, miss, I said, I will change my stubborn concept, obviously you don't believe this, I don't think there is anything wrong with doing business." ”

Seeing Caroline's narrowed eyes, Darcy paused.

"There is a little, but there is only a little. I respect you, my dear Miss Caroline. ”

"Uh-huh, I barely believe it."

"That's not the point!" Darcy raised his voice.

Caroline choked her lips and nodded, "Righteous Mr. Darcy - you are right, the point is that I will not say anything to Madame de Baul's words...... What you think is a bad love, how childish! ”

Darcy breathed a sigh of relief, "That's fine. ”

"Sir, you will only make me think that Madame de Baul is telling the truth." Caroline crossed her arms and smiled, and she stopped, for Colonel Fitzwilliam and Charles had already found a good place to have a picnic.

"What?" Darcy didn't know why.

"Madame de Baur said that you and Mademoiselle de Baul are a couple! She didn't say it, but that's what she meant. Do you still want to explain it to her? Sir, if I'm not mistaken, you seem to have expressed your sincerity to me? ”

"No!" Darcy subconsciously denied it, but then he didn't know what to say, and the logic he was proud of always seemed to die when he came to Miss Caroline.

Seeing that Darcy's stammering but speechless appearance was too cute, Caroline sneered and laughed, "Lie to you, sir, I know what you mean." ”

It is impossible to introduce her to her aunt without a marriage proposal, she is only a young lady in his courtship, and Darcy must have wanted to introduce Caroline to Madame de Baul in a dignified manner, rather than let her question Caroline in this way.

Such a gentleman Darcy is gentle, considerate and gentlemanly, Caroline chuckled in her heart, it is really difficult to have such a man pursue himself, and to be unmoved.

Therefore, she really admires Elizabeth in the original book and admires her current self [Hey!

"Miss Caroline......"

Mr. Darcy's tone was so helpless that Caroline grinned at him and ran towards Charles, who was waving at her.

Seeing this, Darcy followed closely, and he found that Miss Caroline had slowly put down the ladylike shelf in front of him, and became more and more casual.

This is both a good thing and a bad thing.

Miss Caroline was very active and lovely, and became familiar with herself day by day, and the truth of love over time was universal, but he was worried that he would be like this in front of all familiar men, and what about Baron Hall?

Not being able to take Miss Caroline like this into his wings, Darcy said it was a sweet annoyance.

And voila! The troubled young lady sat down next to his cousin.

Hear about those topics! Darcy suddenly felt that the migraines he had not had for years were starting to ache again.

"Really? Colonel, you have been in Germany for so long! Have you ever been to the Black Forest in the south? ”
