7. Chapter VII
"Hats, gloves, riding boots...... Anything else Charles? โ
Caroline looked at her hands and prepared for the next day's race.
"Don't worry too much, Darcy and I will help you then!" Charles didn't answer the question, and smiled very proudly, which made Caroline's hands itch for a while.
She was riding a horse for the first time, and she was not very proficient in it, and she used to have no theory in school, but there was no practical operation, so she only got a passing grade in her equestrian class, which was worthy of passing the line.
If you want to ask why she, a lady with a high status, has not been exposed to horse racing, it can only be said that because of Caroline herself, she is afraid of heights.
"That's right, it's scary on horseback!" Miss Caroline Bingley, who used to discuss this topic with the teacher in a serious manner, forced the teacher to the point of no choice, and Charles was used to her, turning a blind eye to the teacher's bitter words, so the matter was over.
It's not that Caroline doesn't want to ride a horse, she has always felt that galloping on horseback is a very handsome thing, thinking that in the past, riding a horse had to go to a special racecourse, but now she has the conditions to get in touch with running horses anytime and anywhere.
In line with the concept that having resources and not using them equals waste, Caroline has long been ready to move, but she is timid.
But this time, she said she was going to give it a try!
Besides, with Mr. Darcy and Charles here, he must not die! Caroline clenched her fist inwardly.
"Oh, yes! Have you found your riding outfit? Charles walked over and rummaged through what Caroline had prepared.
"It's been ready for a long time, David made it for me!" Caroline smiled and shook off the pair in her hand, a white and red riding suit, breeches with a high waist, looking very heroic, very flattering to her complexion.
Charles "tsk" twice, and his tone was a little weird, "Did that kid David take a fancy to you?" Why didn't he be so diligent when I asked him to run errands for me! โ
"This is personality charm, brother, you don't understand."
โโฆโฆ That's when you'll call me brother. Charles rolled his eyes, "Anyway, I'll teach that guy a good lesson!" โ
His Charles Bentley sister is not something that everyone can covet!
Caroline shrugged her shoulders amusedly, and as if she remembered something, she went to the kitchen, "I'll see if Mrs. Fafa has something ready for tomorrow's picnic." โ
"I want to eat Caroline, can you make afternoon tea?" Charles asked greedily.
"But won't it break if you bring it over?" Caroline frowned, "The little dessert should be baked and eaten freshly......"
"Then let's make something that can be stored for a long time!"
Caroline: ...... It's really my brother, and he's not afraid to trouble me at all, hehe.
At Charles's request, Caroline finally baked cookies and scones for their dessert.
Sandwiches and salads were prepared for lunch, as well as Charles's preferred fish and chips.
Early the next morning, Charles scooped Caroline out of the bed, and he excitedly talked about his previous experience of running horses, as if he had infinite enthusiasm for this activity.
"Charles, let me go......" Caroline was weak, "I'm so sleepy, QAQ, you can wake me up when you get there, please." โ
"You have to be a little energetic! It's hard to come out and play! โ
In response to him, there was a heavy breathing sound, Charles helplessly supported his forehead, there were a lot of things in the factory in the past two days, and he couldn't finish it by himself, so he grabbed Caroline to help.
He didn't expect that his sister was a workaholic, and she had to do everything in an orderly manner before she was willing to give up, so she robbed almost all her work and arranged everything before she was willing to sleep and rest.
Thinking of this, Charles was proud and sad.
His sister is good, sometimes she is too stubborn and doesn't listen to persuasion.
Charles hopes that getting rid of these annoying things can give her a little more flavor in life, such as doing interesting activities, socializing, etc., but none of these seem to be very interesting to Caroline.
For this reason, he, a twenty-four filial brother, also broke his heart.
The weather in the suburbs of London is hundreds of times better than in the city.
Although it is an exaggeration, the industrial revolution has been carried out for half a century, and the elements of industry have gradually penetrated into all strata of Britain, especially after the merger of England and Ireland, the industrial sense of the whole society has become stronger and stronger, and the urban environment has gradually begun to change.
Although people are not very environmentally conscious, they all understand that the air in the suburbs is much cleaner than in the cities.
Rare good weather, no clouds and no rain.
Charles got out of the carriage and stretched hard, breathing in the different air of the London suburbs and smelling the scent of wildflowers.
Seeing a carriage parked in the vast meadow from a distance, Charles excitedly raised his arms and shouted, "Darcy!!" Hey! Darcy look here! โ
The man beside the carriage heard the sound, looked at it from a distance, and then said something to the carriage, turned over and jumped on the grazing horses beside him, and galloped towards him with a whip.
"Charles." Mr. Darcy nodded at Charles and looked at the carriage.
"Caroline just woke up in the car!" Charles smiled and patted the carriage car, "Hey! Darcy is here, Caroline, come out quickly! โ
The young lady in the car twitched the corners of her mouth with a dark face, she obviously asked Charles to call her when he was about to arrive, but what happened? It was only after I got there that I heard Charles's loud voice, she was a mess now! How can you see people!
He quickly gathered himself up and stepped out of the carriage with the prepared hat, "Mr. Darcy, it's a pleasure to meet you. โ
As she spoke, she performed a lady's courtesy, although she looked a little awkward in her riding costume.
The tall and handsome gentleman on the side also returned the salute, his brown-black eyes glowing with rare tenderness in the sun, "Me too, Miss Bingley." โ
Caroline boldly looked at him, the sun was not big but there was a burning sensation for no reason, and the rural feeling of the suburbs of London suddenly became rich.
Charles: I seem to smell hormones.
###
Georgiana is not very good at traveling, and this horse race is also an event she has been looking forward to for a long time, so she must participate in it, and Caroline, who she has in mind, will also go with her.
Charles and Mr. Darcy whipped up their horses and ran away from Caroline's sight for a few minutes, the original plan was that they would run first, and it was almost noon, Caroline and Georgiana would prepare lunch, and then teach them to ride in the afternoon.
Caroline beckoned to Georgiana, who immediately ran over like a happy bird, the freckles on her face naughty in the sun, looking lively and beautiful.
"Caroline!" Georgiana gasped and said shyly, "Long time no see." โ
Caroline blinked, smiled and touched Lori in front of her, who was about the same height as herself, "Georgiana, I haven't seen you for a long time and I'm so much more beautiful!" Do you miss me? โ
Georgiana blushed, "Yes, what about Caroline?" โ
"Of course I do!" As he spoke, his hand made a very exaggerated movement, "I think so much about Georgiana!" โ
"Hmm...... I, I'm ......."
Sure enough, the cute girl is the highest of something!!
A strange aunt clenched her fist in her heart, and her soul of Lolita Control for many years began to burn.
Speaking of which, she is almost thirty years old when you count her fingers...... No, no, no, a woman is forever eighteen! Caroline swears that she would never want to be compared to Mr. Darcy, although, if she really wants to say it, Mr. Darcy is quite old
"What does Georgiana like? I mean lunch. Caroline asked, tilting her head.
"Huh? My words are fine, but my brother is more demanding. Georgiana replied with a serious attitude, and the amused Caroline pursed her lips and smiled.
"What requirements? I'm afraid what I've prepared today won't suit Mr. Darcy's liking......"
"How could it be! Brother, he's not a picky person, he's, he's just a little strict about this......" The little girl waved her hand anxiously, and Georgiana was very worried that she had left a strange image of her brother in Caroline's heart, and the sad sweat remained.
"Poof." Caroline squinted and laughed, "I see, you're trying to say that Mr. Darcy is a strict gentleman who is meticulous in everything he treats, whether it's life or food. Right? โ
"Hmm!"
I don't know when it came to the two of them The men behind them paused, Charles smiled and patted Darcy on the shoulder and gave him a look, meaning I didn't expect my sister to have a good opinion of you.
But Darcy didn't react, and Charles shrugged his shoulders boredly, walked over to Caroline and Georgiana, sat down beside them, and beckoned Darcy to eat.
As a gentleman, how could Mr. Darcy let you guess what was going on in his heart!? Stupidity! Naive!
The handsome Mr. Darcy did not have much turmoil in his heart, but was a little surprised by Miss Bingley's thoughts, he had never met a young lady, and the focus was on his own character and qualities.
For all the young ladies probably pay attention to how many mansions he has, or even how many pounds of property he has a year, or how striking his looks are. There are only a handful of people who know him, let alone a young lady who knows him.
Because there's no Miss at all to get close to Darcy, is there?
"Hey, Mr. Darcy!" Caroline's bright voice caught his attention, and Darcy turned to look at the young lady who raised the basket in her hand and waved, "I heard Georgiana say you don't like cinnamon, but I specially prepared apple pie and scones without cinnamon!" โ
Compliment me Mr. Darcy! Caroline flattered in her heart, you know, but she will come to ride a horse, a horse, that's it! Hold your critical thighs!
There's no way, she's such a forceโฎ(โฏโฝโฐ)โญ
Who made Mr. Darcy Mr. Perfect! Whatever he will! This is the script setting, and it can't be changed!
