Pride and Prejudice

This day, sunny. (I don’t need words such as sunny, cloudless, etc. I believe everyone is tired of reading them, hehe, right~)

Since Mary has relaxed a lot these days after leaving the housekeeper to her two sisters, with such free time, she thinks it is a good choice to go to town for a walk.

"Lily, are you going to town?" Catherine never called her sister in a soft voice since she thought she had grown up, and of course Lydia was the same.After all, the western environment is relatively open, so she accepted it helplessly.

"Yes, Kitty, is there anything I need to bring?" Mary smiled, "Of course, it can't exceed my budget~"

"Okay, I want a new carving knife. The original one is blunt and won't work."

"Lily, I want some new ribbons, bring them for me~" Lydia said eagerly, fearing that it would be too late.

"Okay honey, what color do you want?"

"Red, purple, pink purple, pink, rose red, the simplest style is fine."

"Okay, I get it, so my dears, I'm going out, you have to be good and don't make trouble."

"Lily!" Catherine + Lydia

Mary went out after exchanging cheek kisses.

Mary went shopping first, and after shopping for the things of the two little sisters, she went into a bookstore, where she planned to spend the rest of the time.

This bookstore is the largest and most complete bookstore in the town, and customers are allowed to browse through it. This is why Mary likes to buy books here.

"Wuthering Heights" Mary was stunned when she saw this book. It seemed that it was also a masterpiece in her previous life, so she planned to read it and buy it for collection. (Don’t ask me if the time is right, I don’t know if the book came out at that time! I just picked a book at random!)

When Mary's hand just touched the book, the other hand also reached out, but it was a step slower than her, and the fingertips of that big hand touched the back of Mary's hand slightly before retreating.

Mary turned to look at the owner of the hand, who happened to be looking at her too.

Eyes facing each other, quiet.

She caught his eye, he, handsome face, indifferent expression, deep eyes, high nose bridge, soft and neat short hair, and a black suit, made him look clean, energetic, and noble The feeling of bullying.

Perhaps it was the fusion of the oriental souls of the two generations. Her blue eyes turned into dark blue. Her beautiful eyes and long flowing hair, as beautiful as splashed ink, drew a beautiful arc as she turned around. The skin is so delicate that no pores can be seen, the small nose, the red lips, the eyebrows like willow leaves, everything is so moving, it hits his eyes deeply, rushes into his heart, it seems that at that moment , He heard the sound of flowers blooming, what changed, or nothing changed?He didn't know either, he just watched like that, breathing lightly.

For a moment, her red lips parted slightly: "Mr. Darcy?!"

The voice was like drizzle hitting green water chestnuts and green bamboos, which was pleasant to the ears, calling his name, Darcy was in a daze, wait a minute!Calling his name!Darcy came back to his senses instantly: "Yes, I am." He frowned, as if wondering where he had seen her before, "Excuse me, are you?"

"I'm Mary Bennet, the daughter of the Bennet family." Mary replied, seeing his slightly frowning brows, thinking that he was irritated by treating her as a nympho who pestered him, she then explained, "At the ball I have the honor of seeing you, of course, you may not have noticed me."

"Hmm." It was her, the girl who was often talked about at the ball, the versatile girl who met all his expectations of his wife, he couldn't help being a little nervous, the right hand that touched the back of her hand unconsciously clenched.Shall I continue the conversation with her?What should I say in conversation?He was a little annoyed by his inability to speak well, and kept thinking about topics that could attract her attention, but he denied them all, and then his brows frowned even tighter.

Seeing that his frown could kill a fly, Mary thinks he is probably impatient~ That's right, what can I say to a woman I don't know, he must hope that I will leave quickly and don't disturb him, but Looking at the book in her hand, it seemed that there was only one book, so she thought it was time to ask, "Mr. Darcy, do you really need this book?"

"Hmm." Darcy, who was still thinking, responded unconsciously, and was still thinking until...

He didn't react until Mary saw that he had answered and stuffed the book into his hand.

Unfortunately, when he came back to his senses, she had already turned around and went to another bookcase to pick books.

Should we go there?Darcy continues to struggle...

Walking over calmly, he caught a glimpse of her reading another love story, and pretended to say casually, "This kind of novel is the most boring. If you read these, you might as well read Shakespeare's sonnets." When he opened his mouth, he regretted it. Would she think that he was meddling in his own business and his tone was too cold?Will she have a bad image of him!

She was startled when she heard Darcy's voice?Looking at him, she blinked her slightly widened eyes due to surprise, as if to make sure if it was a real person, "Oh, yes, the sonnets do have more connotations than this, but this book is still good for killing time. Not bad." Mary replied with a polite smile, paused and said, "Also, I think Shakespeare's sonnets will be more meaningful when read by a man's voice." She smiled mischievously at him, "I plan to, My future husband will read this book to me, so I won't read it now, so that I will feel it more at that time."

Her blinking expression was really cute, her smile was so sweet, and that mischievous smile moved him even more, his heartbeat accelerated uncontrollably.

This time, he didn't miss her words. He will savor every word and every sentence of her carefully. No one knows. He plans to go back and taste Shakespeare's sonnets again and practice reciting them. He believes that No one can read aloud better than him.

"Yes, you are quite right." Darcy's voice rose slightly, as if something pleased him.

Mary didn't know what was going on in his heart, but felt that he was inexplicably in a good mood, but it was getting late, and it was time for her to go home.

"Ah, it's getting late, I should go back, goodbye, Mr. Darcy." Mary said politely.

After hearing this, Darcy looked at his watch and said, "Indeed, it's getting late, let's go~" After he took the lead, he paid the money and walked out, seemingly blocking the goodbye.

Mary froze for a moment, what did he mean? !

He turned his head and saw that Mary was still in a daze, and said, "Miss Mary, follow up."

"Ah? Oh." What's the situation?Mary was a little confused, and why did he call me Miss Mary?Shouldn't it be Miss Bennet?Or did he feel that there were too many Miss Bennets to figure it out?Well, it should be like this.Mary wanted to go back, but she started to follow.

Seeing Mary following, Darcy couldn't help feeling better, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly for a second.

"Mr. Darcy, is this?"

"It's not safe at night. I'll take you home." Mr. Darcy, who was in a good mood, rarely explained.

A gust of cold wind blew by, looking at the carriage in front of her, Mary thought for a while, but still accepted his kindness, "By the way, Mr. Darcy, my horse is still there, I have to get it back."

"Okay." Darcy replied lightly, and helped Mary get into the carriage.

When they arrived at Bennet's house, Mary thanked Darcy, "Thank you, Mr. Darcy. Would you like to sit in for a while?"

"No need, next time I will post a formal visit." Darcy hinted deeply.

"Okay, welcome to visit. Goodbye, Mr. Darcy." Mary didn't hear it, but still smiled politely.

"Goodbye." (Mary) Darcy said her name silently, and got into the carriage neatly...

The author has something to say: Well, school is about to start.

The next day will probably be interrupted again.

Wait for the summer vacation to update~
