In the end, Charles agreed to Caroline's proposal.

She didn't really want to become an aristocracy, knowing that a hundred years later, England was a world of bourgeoisie and merchants, and the aristocracy had been gradually declining since the late nineteenth century.

If she had the opportunity, she would certainly choose to go to sea.

"Actually, in addition to this Tiyì, Caroline, can't you just marry a nobleman!" Charles's eyes lit up, and he was impressed by his ingenuity.

Caroline was stunned, gritted her teeth, and said, "Brother Charles, why don't you marry a noble lady?" ”

"Oh my God, Miss Noble......" Charles gasped, "I'm afraid to see a young lady like Sarah!" Caroline, just let my brother and me live a few more years! ”

Sara Hill.

The fourth lady of the Hill family fell in love with Charles Bentley at a glance at the dance more than half a year ago, and then launched a "fierce" pursuit, blocking people at two ends in three days, scaring Charles almost not returning home for a few days.

Caroline has a playful attitude, well, it was, although Miss Sarah Hill is a little fierce in pursuing men, but how to say that she is also a noble lady, on the surface she has done enough, as for what is behind the scenes, only the people of the Bentley family know.

In order to please Caroline, the only sister of Charles, Sarah Hill would bring a lot of greeting gifts every time she came to the door, and Caroline accepted it with a smile.

Sugar-coated cannonballs, she likes to eat sweet, how?

Besides, no matter how delicate Sarah's temper is, she treats Caroline with a reserved and humble appearance, so how can she stop a young lady's courtship

"Then brother can't push me out......" Caroline pouted.

"How could it be! I think Darcy is very good! Charles nodded earnestly, "Look, we're visiting this week, and Darcy has been in the manor for us all week!" Oh my God, what a great deal this has to be! I've never enjoyed it before! ”

"So what? What does this mean? ”

"It shows that Darcy treats you differently, sister!" Charles hated that iron could not be made of steel, and he wanted to grab his sister's shoulder and shake it vigorously.

"Oh, it's coming!" Caroline was helpless, and rolled her eyes countless times in her heart, "Brother, don't daydream, Mr. Darcy is an indifferent and reserved gentleman, how can he look down on me!" ”

- He wants to see Elizabeth too, okay! Your sister is cannon fodder, cannon fodder, do you understand??

Caroline was extremely embarrassed at the thought of her identity, and when she knew that she was "that" Miss Bingley, she had already made the perfect psychological achievement, that is, absolutely, absolutely not to be a stumbling block between Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy!

That's right, isn't it a passerby! She did it, as long as it didn't hinder the two from falling in love, then she wouldn't become cannon fodder! Although she has knelt and licked Mr. Darcy's beauty, it doesn't mean that she wants to marry him, okay?!

Rather than being Mrs. Darcy, what she wanted more than Caroline Bentley was a life of her own.

At the very least, it is to compensate for the early death of his life in the 21st century, right?

Seeing that his sister was not interested in this matter, Charles patted her comfortingly on the shoulder, "Okay, okay, I won't talk about it." It's the day after tomorrow, are you ready for the dress? Didn't Darcy say that he wanted to see your stunning appearance? ”

"......" Caroline's head was full of black lines, it was okay not to mention this, but when she mentioned this, she thought that Mr. Darcy must have had a convulsion, okay!

"I'm ready, but I'm not sure if I'm going to make a show."

"Oh! How could my Charles Bentley's sister be worse! Are you kidding, Caroline? Charles's green eyes widened and he said nonchalantly, "Speaking of which, haven't you been socializing in a long time?" I remember you hadn't been out of the house for almost two months - except for Darcy's invitation. ”

"It's Mr. Darcy who opens and closes, and I thought you were in love with him." Caroline squinted, "Although socialization is very important, brother, don't forget about it, who caused me not to go out for the past two months!" ”

"Hahahaha......" Charles smiled dryly and touched his head, "I-I'm going to see my dress......"

Caroline crossed her arms and smiled lazily as she looked at the back of a man fleeing from the desert. Although she has been helping with the factory for the past two months, to be honest, she is not really that interested in socializing in these upper circles......

Although she has been in this world for more than ten years, she is still the same house in her bones, and becoming a lady is not voluntary, and in this era of low status of women, Caroline feels that it is already remarkable that she can endure it.

"Social circles...... The old lady is not Ma Huateng......" muttered a few words, and Caroline stepped aside and began to sort out her custom-made dress.

Some people say that life is like a strong X, and since you can't resist it, then enjoy it.

Besides, who can get a taste of the nineteenth century like her?

###

Upper suburbs of London.

The palatial palace is carpeted with golden-red threads, and the gilded staircase leads long to the top, spiraling upwards in circles. Georgian patterns still bear the remnants of the Stuart dynasty, decorating every inch of the interior, with peacock carvings and symmetrical vines, and several portraits of the owner hanging in the hall.

The last rays of the sun sink in the North Sea, and London has a different kind of charm at night.

Numerous candles were lit in the palace of the Marquis of Field, and the flames shone brighter and brighter in the light of the silverware, illuminating the hall with light.

The door opened early, and gentlemen and ladies dressed in all kinds of fancy clothes rushed in, gathering in groups and whispering about the recent events in London.

"Oh! Look who this is?! The Marquis of Field clapped his hands and laughed, and walked towards the door.

The man in the black carriage took off his felt hat, owed to the Marquis of Field, and saluted slightly, "Marquis, long time no see." ”

"Aha, Mr. Darcy from Derbyshire!" Field's loud voice attracted everyone's attention, "I'm glad to see you, Mr. Darcy, your presence will make countless young ladies scream!" ”

Darcy nodded with a stiff face, avoiding everyone's gaze and standing coldly in place.

"Is he the same Mr. Darcy from Derbyshire?"

"Yes, I've heard it's hard to get along with!"

"It looks very handsome......"

"But, it is said that up to now, no young lady has been able to enter his eyes!"

"Ah, what a pity......"

Listening to the whispers in his ear, Darcy stared motionlessly at the door, as if to stare for a hole.

"Mr. Darcy, who are you waiting for?" The young baron Baddeley Hall on the side asked curiously, he was also an aristocratic gentleman who attracted much attention at the ball, and his brilliant blonde hair and invincible smile were widely praised among the young ladies. But Darcy knew that this man was different from what he looked like, he was scheming, and he was a good businessman.

"Friends." The tense face spat out such a sentence, which made Baddeley Hall even more curious.

So I saw the two most handsome and wealthy gentlemen at the ball standing side by side, looking at the door incessantly, and all of them looked at each other as if they did not understand what they were doing.

It wasn't until the sound of a carriage came from the door that Mr. Darcy finally moved.

A gentleman in a tight blue coat appeared at the entrance to the hall of the Marquis of Field's house, his deep green eyes scanning the people in the hall, and when he saw his target, he smiled, and he was a handsome and sunny man.

The man was followed by a beautiful young lady, and her white lace brimmed hat covered half of her face, but where she was exposed, she could see the curvature of her beautiful fair cheeks and the shape of her small red lips.

She wore an off-white skirt embroidered with intricate and gorgeous patterns, simple and elegant, which set off the elegant figure of the young lady, and she took off her hat under the care of the waiter, revealing a beautiful face.

Her long brown hair was languidly coiled behind her head, revealing a smooth forehead, her bright gray-green eyes shimmered with water, and her pale pink cheeks were like a delicate rose.

Baddeley Hall let out a strange long voice, "Mr. Darcy, is this the person you're waiting for?" It turned out to be Mr. Bentley! Who's next there? Mr. Bingley's wife? ”

Darcy's tense face grew even colder, and he squinted at Baron Hall, "Please don't talk casually, Baron Hall, that's Mr. Bingley's sister." ”

"Oh—it's my sister." Baddeley smiled wickedly, "What a young lady who can't help but be impressed!" Is it just an adult? I haven't seen much of it in social circles! ”

When he turned around, he saw that Darcy had already walked towards the two men, and Baddeley made a strange expression and followed with a smile.

It was the first time he had seen Darcy like this, and he said he wasn't curious, it was fake.

Charles Bingley's eyes lit up when he saw Darcy, and in Caroline's words, it was like a long-hungry pug seeing a bone.

"Hey! Darcy! Charles smiled and waved.

Mr. Darcy nodded very respectfully, "Charles, here you are." Miss Bentley, long time no see. ”

We just met, Mr. Darcy.

Caroline twitched the corners of her mouth, still smiling beautifully, "Yes, Mr. Darcy, it's a pleasure to meet you." ”

"This is the Marquis of Field, and this is the ball he throws. - Sir, this is my friend, Mr. Charles Bentley from London, and his sister, Miss Caroline Bentley. ”

The Marquis of Field couldn't stop nodding, "Is it the Bentley brothers and sisters?" I've heard for a long time, Mr. Charles, that your wool products are famous in the upper class circles of London! I'm going to discuss it with you and order a dozen in one go! He patted Charles Bentley on the shoulder, pulled him over and walked inside, "If you don't mind, can you have a good talk with me?" ”

"Oh, oh, okay! - Caroline? ”

"Ha, don't worry! Miss is just going to enjoy our ball! ”

Caroline: ...... She was sold by her brother???

Before she could recover her senses, a young and somewhat flirtatious voice came to her ears, "This—Miss Bingley, you are as beautiful as a rose under the morning dew, may I have this honor to ask you to dance?" ”

Caroline looked back in surprise, but met Mr. Darcy's dark eyes.

- Ma Ma QAQ, someone here scares me!
