Maria received Charlotte's letter and smiled happily: "Charlotte is coming back, I'm afraid I'm going home." ”

Darcy's face turned cold when he heard this, he hadn't had a chance to talk to Maria for the past two days because of Elizabeth's interjection, but fortunately he had put the ring on Maria's finger.

Georgiana wailed, "Oh, time always flies so fast. Maria, please help me say hello to Mrs. Ferguson. Also, please come to the dance party in three days. ”

"I'll definitely come over." Maria smiled at Georgiana, "By the way, do you want to come with me to see my lovely little nephews, one is three years old and the other is a year old, both of which are fun ages." ”

The Darcy family has never been a large population, and when the side branch members come to Boron Glass for the Darcy family party at Christmas, they rarely bring children over, and Georgiana really has never been in close contact with a few children, and she is really a little moved by Maria's proposal, and she can't help but look at her brother.

Maria had already put on the ring, and Darcy was about to go to Lucas's Cottage to pay a formal visit to Sir William and propose to Maria, for which he had been preparing his vows for the past two days. The thought that he was about to propose to him made Darcy so nervous and stiff that he didn't even notice his sister's eyes.

Georgiana puffed out her cheeks in anger, simply ignored the unreliable brother, and said to Maria: "Maria, I am with you, I have been in contact with such a young child. ”

At the mention of her two little nephews, Maria immediately smiled, as long as she was not allowed to look at the children, she felt that the children were lovely angels. In this regard, Charlotte condemned her a lot, how can anyone take care of the child, and send the child out when he cries.

By the time Darcy came to his senses, Georgiana was already following Maria's ass to get into the carriage.

Darcy tried to reach out to stop him, but he thought that he would pass over later, so he simply ignored it, turned to Maria and said, "Tell Sir William on my behalf, that I will visit him before lunch." ”

Maria thought of what Darcy had said in her ear last night, and her ears were bloodshot, Mr. Darcy is this going to be a formal proposal? Suddenly, her heart beat faster, and Maria thought that she should not have laughed at Charlotte in the first place, that no girl could remain indifferent to the proposal of her favorite gentleman.

Sir William looked at the ring on Maria's hand and smiled heartily: "Dear Maria, are you going to announce your good news?" ”

"Yes, Dad. Mr. Darcy is going to come over to visit, and if nothing else, he will officially ask you to hand over your Maria to him, I wonder if you are ready, Dad? ”

"Of course. Ever since Mr. Darcy came to Hertfordshire, Dad was ready to receive Mr. Darcy for a visit. In fact, I think it's a bit late. Sir William raised his eyebrows, and it was a joy that his youngest daughter was about to be married.

Charlotte, who has become Mrs. Ferguson, looked at her sister with a smile on her face: "Congratulations, I'm sure Mr. Darcy will take care of you." In fact, she also felt that the time of this proposal was a little late.

Georgiana said happily: "In fact, my brother has long wanted to marry Maria home. Yesterday my brother received a large package from London, and I was reprimanded for checking it, and I guess it was a gift for the Lucas family. ”

Being teased by everyone in turn, Maria was a little embarrassed, and simply took over her eldest nephew to play: "Charlotte, how are you doing?" ”

"Very nice. Thanks to you, I'm now a popular guest at the literary salon. Charlotte was very grateful to Maria, and thinking of what her mother had told her before, she felt very necessary to remind her: "I have heard that Elizabeth has also taken a fancy to Mr. Darcy. ”

"Hmm." Speaking of this, Maria's mood was inevitably a little uncomfortable, after all, a woman would not like a man who was worried about her.

"Since you have agreed to Mr. Darcy's proposal, then you should marry as soon as possible." Although for some ladies with low moral bottom lines, whether a gentleman gets married or not does not affect their pursuit of each other, in general, it can still reduce some suitors.

Maria did not shirk this time: "As long as Mr. Darcy is ready for the wedding, I can be a bride at any time." ”

"Wow! My brother would be thrilled if he found out about this, and I dare say that he would prepare for the wedding immediately, but a big wedding should be prepared for at least a month, which means that in another month, Maria will live in Bloomburly Manor, and I can finally go back to Bloombury Manor for a long time. ”

Because of custom, even if Georgiana and Darcy were siblings, she could not live at Bloombury Manor permanently, but after Mr. Darcy got married, she could live there in the name of accompanying her sister-in-law.

Maria expressed her incomprehension of this custom, and that it was inhumane that a good family could not live together. However, Maria is very happy at the thought of being able to spend time with Georgiana in the future, and every time the two of them talk, they will encounter different sparks of inspiration, which is really important for Maria, who is pursuing the goal of "great writer".

Charlotte looked at the two little girls there with a smile and imagined the future, and interrupted a little unbearably: "Georgiana, you are not too young, at most you will stay at home for two more years, and you will get married." ”

Georgiana was struck like a thunderbolt: "......"

Maria suddenly showed a look of sudden realization: "I almost forgot about it, speaking of which, Georgiana is only two years younger than me, and she has indeed reached the marriageable age." But, Georgiana, you've been to so many balls and you haven't met the right gentleman? ”

"It's so easy there, I look at those gentlemen and feel the same, nothing special." When it comes to this, Georgiana herself is depressed.

Regarding marriage, if she hadn't met Mr. Darcy in this life, and Darcy had persistently pursued her for so many years, Maria felt that she might not get married, so she really had no position to urge marriage.

But Mrs. Lucas was obviously in a hurry, and perhaps said that mothers like to urge marriage: "Then why do you have to come up with a charter yourself, let me tell you, don't make a mistake, there is not a ready-made example around here." Miss Jane of Bennet's family is so beautiful, she was picky in the early years, and she has not married until now, and it is not easy to find her at this age. ”

Maria did not think Jane was too old, and she was now in her thirties and unmarried, but in eighteenth-century England it was a shame for the ladies of eighteenth-century England to not marry after the age of twenty-five.
