The feeling is coming again.

It was Miss Caroline Bingley's glowing gray-green eyes, which seemed to be filled with the starlight of the whole world, and when she looked at you, it was as if you were the only one in the world who had entered her world.

But she didn't damn him.

Darcy thought to chagrin.

“…… The cedar trees there are tall and straight, covering almost the whole sky, walking in the Black Forest, with the sound of the murmuring river in your ears, Miss Bingley, can you imagine the Danube at your side? Embracing you, bringing you into the dreams she weaves. Colonel Fitzwilliam spoke eloquently, his voice deep and fitting such a story-like narrative.

Miss Caroline Bingley was fascinated by the fact that she felt as if she were on a journey with the Colonel, in the Black Forest, where countless fairy tales and famous cakes had been produced.

"It's romantic...... she sighed, "if only I could go." ”

Darcy heard this and glanced at her.

"Yes." Colonel Fitzwilliam glanced meaningfully at Darcy before moving his gaze to Miss Caroline, "There's going to be a chance, Miss Bingley." ”

Suddenly reacted to what he meant, Caroline's back stiffened, she didn't feel it just now, but now who can tell her whose sight is behind her?!

"You don't have to worry about it." Darcy muttered.

Colonel Fitzwilliam smirked, "I'm helping you Darcy." Miss Bingley turned to get the apple pie from the basket, and he lowered his voice, "For God's sake." ”

The atmosphere was a little weird, Caroline gave them a strange look, and turned her eyes to her brother Charles, who laughed dryly and changed the subject.

"The colonel has been to so many places, all with the army?"

"Mostly, yes." Colonel Fitzwilliam replied, "You know, France has been in turmoil for the last few years, the war has been going on, and I have had to get involved in these things—but I have not been to the front, or I have been before. ”

He looked a little embarrassed, Caroline was thoughtful, soldiers always like to flaunt themselves with war and exploits, just as gentlemen always flaunt with their family and upbringing, a truth.

Darcy had to defend him a few words, lest Mrs. Darcy, whom he favored in the future, misunderstand his cousin, "The Colonel is a good army officer, and he has never pursued feats that are vain. ”

"Oh! Darcy Darcy, you're complimenting me so much! Colonel Fitzwilliam was stunned for a moment, and laughed, "But one thing you are right, I really don't care about that!" ”

Caroline smiled awkwardly, how could she continue.

Charles asked curiously, "So, where has the Colonel been?" ”

"Most of them were in Europe, France, Germany, Austria, all of them were anti-French allies -- but I went as far as the East." Colonel Fitzwilliam smiled, "That's a wonderful place. ”

"Oh? Orient? Is it the Great Qing Dynasty? Or Japan? Charles then asked, remembering that his partner, Mr. Baddeley, had been to Japan.

At the mention of Daqing, Caroline's movements paused, and then she pretended to be calm and looked at Colonel Fitzwilliam curiously with her brother, as if she was very interested in his words.

She thought no one was noticed.

But she forgot that someone was watching her every move.

Darcy was stunned, and glanced thoughtfully at the young lady beside her, she should have a different feeling about the East, every time she said this, she would be abnormal.

"No, no, no, it's neither." Fitzwilliam shook his head, "India, it's India." ”

The colony was garrisoned, and he had followed the navy to that faraway place.

"Tea plantations all over the mountains, the smell of earth in the air, I have tasted the most authentic food there......"

"Curry." Caroline spoke unconsciously.

"Miss Bingley, you know?"

Caroline blinked, what did she just say?

Colonel Fitzwilliam looked surprised, "Have you been there?" Oh no, but did you know the ladies of India? ”

Charles shook his head, "Impossible." ”

Caroline smiled dryly, "No, it's just a little bit of understanding." ”

"From the book." Darcy whispered, "Miss Caroline loves all kinds of travelogues. "And those things that are so sharp that a young lady like her would see them. Darcy added in mind.

“…… Yes. Caroline couldn't help but glance at the gentleman beside her, Mr. Darcy had such a good memory, he didn't say that she had forgotten all this.

There was a slight wave in his heart, indeed, there were some things she didn't remember, but he did.

A man like Darcy looks cold and self-controlled, but he hides all his enthusiasm and gentleness under that handsome face.

Magma under an iceberg.

Caroline took a bite of the apple pie in her hand, full of the flavor of the South East of England, sweet and greasy, hot, and the puff pastry was neither soft nor hard, just right.

What should she do if she goes on like this?

###

Miss Elizabeth Bennett smiled at the person in front of her, "Excuse me, sir, can I come over?" ”

"Oh, of course." Colonel Fitzwilliam blinked, and immediately moved out of his place.

Elizabeth passed by him, and she hurried to the feast, yes, the dinner of Madame de Rosins Catherine de Baul.

"Didn't notice last time, Miss Bennett has beautiful eyes." After a long pause, Colonel Fitzwilliam said in admiration, and turned to ask Darcy who didn't know when he came to his side.

Pretty eyes? Darcy was stunned for a moment, thinking that he had felt palpitations in those eyes a long time ago, and then he realized that the throbbing he thought was coming from those eyes that resembled Miss Caroline.

"Colonel, she's not the right person." Darcy opened his mouth in a serious manner.

"Oh, Darcy Darcy! You're always so strict and serious, I'm going to have a headache! "I just said that Miss Bennett is special." ”

There's no Miss Caroline any more special. Darcy denied it in his heart, but he still said, "She and her sister are good young ladies, but her family, I mean the Bennett family, is not as decent as you think, five daughters, no heirs, they are not as good as Mr. William Collins, you see. ”

Property, and property again!

If Caroline was here, she would have to refute it—in her heart.

There is no way to detach from the concept of family in this world, including wealth and wealth.

Darcy and Fitzwilliam, who were "native" men of England, would inevitably have such an entrenched view, so even when they were so single-minded, Colonel Fitzwilliam did not say anything.

"You're always right, Darcy." He smiled, just thinking that this was a somewhat special affair, "Madame is still waiting for us, why didn't your little friend come with you today?" ”

Darcy frowned, "Fitzwilliam! ”

"Okay, good, I won't say! Miss Bentley, is Miss Bentley good? ”

"And Charles." Darcy glanced at him lightly, and the latter was inexplicably cold, "Charles Bentley is my friend. ”

Colonel Fitzwilliam smiled, "Obviously, Mr. Bingley is your friend, but Darcy, your focus is on Miss Bingley, I know she is very nice, but don't you think you should say something to me?" ”

"What?" Darcy remained silent, standing still in the face of Fitzwilliam's gaze.

"I'm your cousin, Darcy." Colonel Fitzwilliam sighed, "I know there's no harm in that, and, don't you think I can't see it?" I just want you to say goodbye to me. ”

Darcy's grim expression was a little cracked, he looked at this man with outstanding temperament, and opened his mouth, "Colonel, you're right. ”

"You proposed?" Colonel Fitzwilliam's eyes widened.

"Not really." Darcy lowered his eyelashes, the place where they stood was not suitable for conversation, so he quickened his pace, "I professed my affection to Miss Caroline, and she didn't turn me down. ”

Keen to grasp the meaning of the Darcy dialect, Colonel Fitzwilliam was shocked, "But she didn't promise you either?" ”

"A chance." Darcy was succinct.

Colonel Fitzwilliam understood, "You mean, she agreed to give you a chance, and maybe you'll be together." He laughed, "Oh, Darcy! The first time I've seen you like this, I mean, Miss Bingley and you are a good fit, aren't they? ”

Hearing this, the corners of Darcy's lips lifted slightly.

"Although the wealth of the Bingley family is not as good as yours, it is good, Miss Bingley is a very good person, although I have not seen her talents--we have only known each other for a short time--but Darcy, you can not be wrong, have you made up your mind?" Colonel Fitzwilliam also raised the corners of his lips, and his not outstanding face was particularly attractive at this moment.

"Colonel, none of Darcy will take back his promise."

He knew that his cousin was not a fuel-efficient lamp!

While Colonel Fitzwilliam was pleased, he also expressed concern for his future, when he would find a suitable hostess! And she is a lady with property, good looks, talent and very decent.

Well, while Miss Elizabeth Bennett fits the bill for one of the two, the other two is the point, isn't it?

Caroline was not invited to Lady Catherine's dinner because she said it was a family dinner and apologized to the Bentley siblings, saying that she would treat them to a good feast for the rest of the day.

Charles said again and again that there was no need to worry about them, that he and Caroline would enjoy the scenery.

William Collins, as a close associate of Lady Catherine, also came to the dinner, and Charlotte brought Elizabeth, but Lady Catherine was stunned, but said nothing.

In normal times, she would have to reason with the guests, but today she unexpectedly died down.

For no other reason, she received a reply from Darcy, who made it clear that he would not marry Miss Anne, his cousin, but that he would introduce Anne to as many gentlemen as he could.

Lady Catherine seemed to be greatly insulted, and she said that it was not necessary, and was even more aggressive in asking who the young lady Darcy had taken a fancy to.

"If my proposal is successful, I'll bring her to you, aunt."
