33. Hertfordshire
A horse-drawn carriage sped out of Hertfordshire, and Mr. Bentley, who was sitting in the car, sighed silently in his heart, he had signed a contract with Mr. Morris to move into his new house before Michael's Day.
Originally, he just thought that Darcy's attitude towards Hertfordshire was unusual, and suspected that Darcy's sweetheart was from Hertfordshire, but now he had already confirmed it. Bingley went to test Darcy for his sister, and wanted to change the vacation place to another country town, but Darcy was unsurprisingly vetoed, and the other party made no secret of his purpose in Hertfordshire.
Bingley thought back to the scene and sighed again, looking at Darcy's appearance, he knew that Caroline would never have a chance again: "Hey! It's a real headache, how do I tell Caroline about thisβ"
The thought of Caroline's obsession with Darcy made Bentley feel more and more headaches, and he always felt that this vacation would not be very pleasant. God, he's got the most trouble dealing with these things, and I hope Caroline can get out of the way and get out soon......
Caroline, who knew nothing about it, was shopping with joy, and when she saw the clothes she liked, she had to make comparisons.
Seeing this, Mrs. Hearst said mockingly, "Caroline, you must be able to charm Mr. Darcy in this dress." She was a strong supporter of her sister's pursuit of Mr. Darcy, and made a lot of suggestions for this, but unfortunately it has not had much success, but fortunately, there have never been other women around Mr. Darcy, and Caroline has the advantage of being close to the water.
Caroline was overjoyed at first, and then the joy on her face faded again, she always felt that Bingley had something to hide from her, and that it was most likely related to Mr. Darcy: "Sister, I always have a not-so-wonderful feeling. β
"Don't overthink it." Mrs. Hearst patted her sister's hand comfortingly.
When Bingley saw the two sisters come back with a large bag, his heart was full of helplessness: "I have rented the Netherfield Manor in Hertfordshire, and I have paid three months' rent at once, so you can have a good time." β
Mrs. Hearst pursed her lips disdainfully, and said, "If it weren't for the country air, which is more suitable for vacation, I really don't want to go to that kind of place, where people tend to be inflamed and shallow......"
Bentley felt his head start to hurt again, and hurriedly reached out to stop the ladies from continuing to discuss the topic.
On the other side, Mr. Darcy is also preparing his luggage, and of course, unlike in the original book, he brought Georgiana with him this time.
Just a year ago, a terrible thing had happened to Georgiana, and fortunately she had not been harmed, but Mr. Darcy still felt guilty that he had not done his job as a supervisor.
Giorgiana was delighted at the thought of seeing her friend soon: "I'm going to take my new work with me, and Maria will definitely give me the most appropriate advice." β
"Yes, and your favourite sketchpad, I think you might be able to bring it with you, Hertfordshire has a unique sense of tranquility that will give you new inspiration." Mr. Darcy was on hand to help with advice.
"That's right." Then Georgiana thought of the increasingly noisy rumors, her face turned cold, and she said: "It's ridiculous that those people think that Maria Jianglang is so talented that she can't write a good work anymore!" When Maria's new work comes out, it will definitely blind their dog's eyes. β
Ever since my sister had befriended Miss Maria, she had been spitting fragrant from time to time, and Mr. Darcy could only helplessly support her forehead, and Miss Maria was too inattentive in this regard.
"I'm going to write a letter to Maria, and she's not going anywhere else." With that, Georgiana ran back to her study.
Mr. Darcy was pleased with the change in his sister, who had been very shy and introverted since the loss of her mother at an early age, which was not a good thing in a family like theirs, but she had become lively under the influence of Miss Maria.
I have to say that Georgiana's letter came very timely, originally Maria planned to accompany her grandfather to France for a vacation, but now it seems that it is not possible, but she has not been to France, hundreds of years later, she has lived in France for three years, it is not so rare to go to France.
As soon as he heard that Mr. Darcy had come to Hertfordshire with his sister, Mr. Foxy Sr. decided not to go for the time being, and he always felt that Mr. Darcy had come for a great purpose, and that it would be a pity if he had not been in a hurry to attend Maria's wedding.
Maria was blushed by her grandfather's words, and slapped her cheek with her hand, in fact, she and Mr. Darcy have not seen much in recent years, mainly because they are too busy, especially Mr. Darcy, since Maria gave him some books on business management, he has been completely immersed in it, and in order to implement new forms of operation, he has been inspecting all industries all year round.
Unexpectedly, the tenant of Netherfield Manor this time turned out to be Mr. Bingley, Jane Bennet's official partner in the original book, Maria pinched her fingers and calculated, and found that the time was much earlier, which may be related to her butterfly wings.
At the same time, a classic scene was taking place in Lamborne.
"Dear Mr. Bennett, have you heard that Netherfield Manor has finally been rented out?" Then Mrs. Bennet spoke of the neighbour's actions: "I swear the tenant is a gentleman of honorable stature. β
Mr. Bennet put down the newspaper in his hand and said, "Oh, dear Mrs. Bennet, where did you deduce it again?" β
"Sir William actually planned to visit him personally, you must know that Sir William has always maintained his own identity, and rarely takes the initiative to visit foreign guests." Then Mrs. Bennet said resentfully, "He must be for Maria!" I really don't know what their family is not satisfied with, and now they are eyeing this Mr. Bentley again, they are really insatiable! β
Elizabeth really couldn't stand her mother's dislike of Charlotte: "Mom, Charlotte has now given birth to her eldest son, so you can let go of the past." β
"You know, that Maria used to be young, I didn't notice that she was a beautiful woman now, what if she also had a crush on Mr. Bingley? I think Maria is a lot tougher than Charlotte. β
Jian Wenyan suddenly opened his eyes in embarrassment.
Elizabeth also felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, she had to admit that Maria's appearance was far better than Jane's, and even she would be set off as long as she sat beside her: "Jane, don't listen to your mother's nonsense." β
Jane shook her head and said, "Maria's appearance is indeed very outstanding, and she is younger, in comparison, Mr. Bingley will naturally like Maria more." β
"Don't always say such frustrating things, Jane, you know that you are much more popular in Hertfordshire than Maria."
"That's because Maria rarely attends prom."
