58. Gorgeous wedding dresses
"Wow! Brother is down—" Georgiana kept an eye on the study, and shouted as soon as Mr. Darcy came down.
Maria looked up just in time to meet Darcy's eyes, and the tenderness that flowed between the two of them caused the two single dogs, Georgiana and Yaros, to receive 10,000 critical hits.
Sir William came out after him, and said with a smile, "I agree to Mr. Darcy's proposal, Maria, my daughter, and I hope you will be happy in the future." ”
"I'll be my daddy." Maria stepped forward and hugged Sir William.
Compared to her father in her previous life, Sir William was not a good father, he had the pedantry inherent in this era, but he was full of tolerance for his children, and tolerated all kinds of shocking behavior of Maria. Now that she's finally leaving the house like Charlotte, Maria discovers that she can't bear them.
However, she believed that Mr. Darcy would not mind his hosting of his parents at Bloomburee Manor, and just as she thought about it, Darcy whispered it in her ear.
"Bloomburly Manor has a lot of rooms, and if you miss your family, write to them and ask them to stay for a while."
Darcy is not averse to normal relatives intermingling, provided that they know the etiquette, of course. It would be better if relatives like Bennett's family should not be associated with each other, and he is now sincerely glad that the girl he likes is from a good family, and the relatives in the family are all decent.
What Mr. Darcy doesn't know is that in the original book, he becomes a brother-in-law with his favorite hate, Mr. George Wycombe, and when the story ends, he will face a shameless couple teaming up to fight the autumn wind. In a sense, Maria's presence can be regarded as saving Mr. Darcy from fire and water.
Because of Elizabeth's relationship, Lucas and his wife did not choose to keep a low profile this time, and they announced the marriage of their youngest daughter Maria and Mr. Darcy in a very high-profile manner.
As soon as the news of this marriage spread, the whole of Hertfordshire was boiling, and they all said that Sir William and his wife were treacherous, and quietly took down Mr. Darcy, a large landowner from Derbyshire. A gentleman with an income of 10,000 pounds a year, they couldn't imagine that Maria Lucas would take people down without revealing any news, which is really amazing.
However, missing Mr. Darcy, the golden beetle's son-in-law, they set their sights on Mr. Bingley, the only bachelor in Netherfield Manor. Mr. Bingley, though not as wealthy as Mr. Darcy, was handsome and funny, and was quite popular with the ladies of Hertfordshire.
As a result, Hertfordshire's coat and hat shops ushered in a hot sale.
"Hahaha-" Caroline laughed all the time when she learned from Maria that the girls in Hertfordshire had nearly bought out the cloakshop for "Mr. Bingley".
Bentley's face flushed with laughter, "Oh, that's enough, Caroline." ”
Darcy, who was in a good mood, also teased: "Bingley, I don't know how you feel about this?" ”
Bingley said angrily, "Darcy, I dare say that in London all the proms you attend will be well-dressed. ”
"Bentley, please remember that I'm a fiancée, don't make this kind of joke in the future." Darcy admonished with a serious face.
Bingley was fed a large pot of dog food head-on, almost dying, thinking of the lovely Miss Jane, he said in a low tone: "Darcy, do you think I misunderstood, Miss Jane actually doesn't have a good impression of me at all, otherwise why would she leave as soon as she got better." ”
"This shows that she is still polite." Darcy felt that Miss Bennet was doing the right thing.
"Really?" Bentley said with some uncertainty.
Caroline's face darkened, and she said impatiently: "Charles, you are now in the eyes of Miss Bennett, and in the eyes of other Hertfordshire ladies, you are all the existence of a golden beetle. ”
"Please don't take my Miss Maria."
"Oh, Darcy, you're enough! Please get back to normal as soon as possible, you're horrible like this. Bingley could never have imagined that his always cold friend would have such a day, and he would be uncomfortable if he didn't show affection for a day, "Please consider your poor friend a little bit." ”
"Okay, I'll try." Darcy never knew that he was still a show-off, but the thought that he would soon marry the girl he loved made him full of energy.
Bingley watched Darcy start writing again, shook his head helplessly in his heart, and said: "You are too tossed, and you let the servants go to France and other local purchases, your wedding will cost a lot of money, right?" ”
"It's okay, it's only about 10,000 pounds, Maria deserves the best." If it weren't for the lack of time, Darcy would have wanted to make it bigger, and in his eyes, there was no more lovely lady in the world than Maria.
Obviously she had chosen to give up, Caroline watched Mr. Darcy work so hard for the wedding, and she still felt very uncomfortable, it turned out that Mr. Darcy would also please people, but that person was not her.
Mrs. Hearst's face was not very good, Mr. Hearst was a down-and-out aristocratic son, and did not inherit the family business, and their wedding was not grand, and the total cost was only two thousand pounds, including her wedding dress and jewelry.
Caroline couldn't help but ask, "Can Miss Maria's wedding dress be thrown out?" With such a short period of time, will it affect the quality of the wedding dress? As far as she knew, there were quite a few aristocratic ladies who planned to meet the woman who had fascinated Mr. Darcy on the day of the wedding, and if there was a problem with the wedding dress, it would be troublesome for Maria to integrate into high society in the future.
When Georgiana heard the wedding dress, she was immediately excited: "Caroline, you haven't seen Maria's wedding dress, it's so beautiful-"
"Is it really that good-looking? Oh, I almost forgot that Miss Maria was a good moneymaker. ”
"It's really beautiful, all hand-embroidered, reworked, inlaid with 9,999 diamonds, the most amazing is the 9 blue diamonds inlaid in the crown, it's so beautiful." Georgiana felt that no woman could refuse such a beautiful wedding dress, and if a gentleman offered such a wedding dress, she might immediately consider marrying.
Mrs. Hearst sighed, "It's worthy of the Darcy family—"
Georgiana laughed and said with a grin, "Mrs. Hearst, you guessed wrong this time. ”
Mrs. Hearst was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Isn't this wedding dress worn by the mothers of the Darcy family?" As far as she knew, the Darcy family had been headed up for several generations of young ladies from wealthy and powerful families, and such a luxurious wedding dress would never be freshly made, and it would be too late.
Georgiana smiled mysteriously: "This wedding dress was prepared by Maria......"
