25. Identify problems
Maria jumped back to the room and happily fell on the bed: "System, I found that what you said is simply right, knowledge is wealth, I want to study hard and make progress every day!" β
"It's good if you're happy. The system didn't expect the host to be so clumsy and lied, Mr. Darcy actually believed it, and said that he would buy it for 30,000 pounds, it is also a dog, and the IQ of men in love is zero! γ
In fact, Mr. Darcy is not as "simple" as the system thinks, Maria has a secret, in fact, he noticed it early on, after all, the "Mountain and River Dancing Girl" is still on the Bloomberly Manor, and even he has made a lot of efforts to cover up Maria's abnormality. Now that he thinks about it, he may have been planted in it a long time ago, but he didn't realize it.
"Is this Miss Maria's token of love?" Dasimo held the ring on his middle finger, the corners of his mouth slightly curved, "Dear Miss Maria, do you know that you have exposed a lot of things?" Space mustard seeds are really amazing......"
Darcy wasn't going to inquire into the origin of these things, he just needed to know that it was Miss Maria's trust in him.
That night, Mr. Darcy had insomnia for the first time in a long time......
That night, Miss Maria lay asleep on a large bed covered with gold coins......
Old Mr. Fox always felt that a lot seemed to have happened overnight, and Mr. Darcy's eyes on Maria changed again, and the way Maria looked at Mr. Darcy was obviously not normal, but he felt that it was not a look of affection. Oh, these young people's things always make him confused.
Since both sides planned to go to the Qing Dynasty, Mr. Fox Sr. and the others decided to wait for Mr. Darcy to finish dealing with the affairs of India and go to the Qing Dynasty together.
Lord Bentinck's invitation was soon sent to Waterley Manor, and Mr. Darcy simply invited Miss Maria to be his dance partner.
When it came to the banquet given by Lord Bentinck, Maria found that Mr. Darcy was not an ordinary person, and it was no wonder that he would bring her to the banquet, and the ladies and ladies looked at him as if they were going to eat him.
"Oh, dear Mr. Darcy, allow me to introduce you to my daughters, Mary Bentinck, Elizabeth Bentinck, and Elizaar Bentinck. Don't you think it's a good night, Mr. Darcy, and I think you'd be willing to invite the beautiful ladies to dance......"
It was Lord Bentinck's wife, who spoke, and her words reminded Maria of the sales pitch of her father, Sir William, to Mr. Darcy in Pride and Prejudice, but Mr. Darcy had a crush on Elizabeth Bennett and was more than happy to invite her to dance.
In her previous life, she was also a celebrity, and she had seen a lot of men and women, in fact, she always felt that Miss Elizabeth's decision to marry Mr. Darcy in the original book was more because of the other party's "money" ability, Bloombury Manor showed Miss Elizabeth Mr. Darcy's financial resources, and Mr. Darcy gave her the feeling of being somewhat in love.
In short, she felt that Mr. Darcy was carried away by love, and if nothing else, the Wickhams alone would cause him endless troubles, not to mention that Georgiana was involved. As a good friend of Miss Georgiana, Maria had to feel aggrieved for Georgiana.
Darcy noticed Maria's distraction and asked with some curiosity, "Miss Maria, did you think of something?" β
Maria nodded matter-of-fact and said, "I had something in mind. Mr. Darcy, what kind of wife will you marry in the future? β
Darcy almost stepped on Maria's foot when he heard this, and the roots of his ears were red: "Miss Maria, why do you ask that?" β
"I'm sorry, I may have been a little abrupt, but I just saw many noble ladies treat you as a golden beetle's son-in-law, and I felt it for a while. However, I hope that when choosing a wife in the future, I can take Georgiana's feelings into account. β
Darcy gave Maria a soft look in his eyes and said, "Georgiana will definitely like the wife I chose." β
Maria rolled her eyes inwardly, and this Mr. Darcy was as confident as ever: "I hope so." β
Darcy smiled inwardly, Miss Maria probably didn't know that Georgiana had tried to match the two of them.
After the ball, Mr. Darcy quickly disposed of the shares in his hand, but Mr. Darcy, who had received a large sum of money, did not take the opportunity to buy the land in Darjeeling.
Maria was full of doubts and asked why, if it was her, she would definitely take the opportunity to buy an extra piece of land.
Darcy looked at Maria amusedly: "You said that the English people will like Darjeeling black tea very much, and the Rirun is naturally not small, and the Darcy family can't swallow it all, otherwise it will be suppressed by other families." β
Maria realized that she was naΓ―ve, the monopoly industry does make money, but all the monopoly industries will be suppressed by other competitors, it is better to get the big head and share the rest of the benefits with others. Maria sighed to herself: Mr. Darcy is indeed a shrewd businessman.
It was astonishing that after a ball, Miss Maria Lucas became the fiancΓ©e of Mr. Fitzwilliam D'Arcy!
When Mr. Fox Sr. heard the rumors, his eyes narrowed, and he secretly sighed that Mr. Darcy had made a decisive move, and that his granddaughter, who had not yet opened her mind, had fallen into the trap of the other party, and was now unaware. Sometimes, he didn't know what to say about her, and he was very shrewd on weekdays, but when he met Mr. Darcy, he was very confused.
Looking at Mr. Darcy's meticulous care of Maria, old Mr. Fox is really a thing.
When Maria approached Mr. Darcy, Mr. Darcy replied bluntly, "I put the rumors out." β
Maria's head buzzed: "......" Why did Mr. Darcy do this?
"Miss Maria, allow me to pursue you." Then Mr. Darcy said with guilt in his eyes, "I am very sorry that I once chose to alienate you because of my father's last wish. β
"The ancestors of the Darcy family had always sought a title of nobility for the family, and for this reason my father married the daughter of the Earl's family, which was my mother. And in order to fulfill the last wishes of my ancestors as soon as possible, it is better for me to marry a wife of noble birth as well...... However, I found that it was all in vain, and I simply could not forget you. So when I learned that you might come to India, I got up and chased after India. β
Maria looked confused, she thought she might be wearing a fake copy of Pride and Prejudice, how did Mr. Darcy confess to her?
