Countess of Pride and Prejudice

Earl Max frowned unconsciously, interrupting the conversation between Georgiana and Charlotte: "I think, Georgiana, long time no see, can you give me some music?"

Such an abrupt request made Georgiana blink her eyes, and then Georgiana got up and sat on the piano bench: "Of course." While speaking, Georgiana had already pressed the first key.

The music was flowing in this living room again, and Earl Max unconsciously looked at Charlotte again. She touched his heart so much, but so did she, keeping himself thousands of miles away.This recognition made Earl Max start to suffer again.

Perhaps, this is the punishment imposed on me by God, punishing myself for being too self-righteous when I was young, and for being able to easily win the hearts of too many women, so that when I meet someone who can really open my heart, my behavior is so frivolous, Make her look down on herself.

God, if you can hear my prayer, tell me, what should I do?Count Max took his eyes away from Charlotte again and forced himself to look at Georgiana.

Except for Caroline, there are probably not many people listening to music in the living room.Mr. Darcy was invariably engaged in his own affairs, and Elizabeth, apprehensive for her friend, had been watching Earl Max and Charlotte.Worried that Earl Max would do something again, making this mess unstoppable.

At the end of the song, Caroline began to applaud.Georgiana gets up, giving Caroline the chance to perform.Count Max felt that he could no longer stay here, so he got up and left.

"Where are you going, Count?" Count Max's actions made Elizabeth frowned, but she still asked Count Max out of her duties as a housewife.

"I want to go out to get some air, Mrs. Darcy, I think I will be back before dinner!" Earl Max raised his hand on his forehead to express his respect and left.

Earl Max is really the same as before, just as arbitrary, and Charlotte feels that no matter how many years it takes, she will never have a good impression of Earl Max, absolutely not.But now, let's listen to the sound of my sister's piano.Charlotte gave Caroline an encouraging smile, and Caroline smiled back and continued playing.

The view at Pemberley was as beautiful as ever, nay, even more so.This may be because there is a good housewife. Earl Max left the mansion and wandered into the woods. Before he knew it, he came to the place where he had just met Charlotte and her son.

At that time, this picture deeply moved Earl Max, such serenity and tranquility.Then, it was Earl Max who noticed Charlotte's frown.Why not believe it, believe that others will know that your heart is out of caring for you, not out of hurting you?Earl Max came under the tree and leaned against the tree in the same posture as Charlotte.Charlotte, or when will that unknown lady in your heart open your heart?

The dinner was more sumptuous than usual because there was one more guest. At this time, Charlotte also knew the purpose of Earl Max's visit to Pemberley. He was here to wait for Philip.Since the meeting place is not far away, let's just meet in Pemberley, which is much more comfortable than an inn.There are hospitable hosts, cheerful music, and hunting and fishing with Mr. Darcy.

Hearing that Philip was coming too, Georgiana's steak-cutting hands became a little slow.I hope that when he comes, I can forget him.However, is such a requirement too high?Georgiana couldn't help frowning slightly, and Elizabeth had already noticed it, and reached out and patted her hand gently.

Georgiana raised her head and smiled gratefully at her sister-in-law. Hospitality is a gentleman's virtue, and she can't use her emotions to influence her brother's hospitality.

"Georgianna has really grown into a big girl, and now she is less and less talkative. I remember when you were young, whether it was me or Fitzwilliam, I could play with you for half an hour. Now you are so taciturn, yes Don’t you have a sweetheart?” After wandering in the forest all afternoon, Earl Max felt that he could put away his fanatical love for Charlotte on the outside.Therefore, as a good guest, it is necessary to properly stir up the conversation at the table.

"If anyone can make Georgiana fall in love with him, I would like to know how outstanding this person is." Out of his trust in his wife and sister, Mr. Darcy didn't ask about their little secrets.

"With the best brother in Derbyshire, the person Georgiana fell in love with, it's hard to be as good as you." Elizabeth wanted to tell Mr. Darcy the secret after dinner, but Georgiana's begging eyes made Elizabeth turn around. Let's talk about another topic.

"Are you praising your husband unreservedly, Mrs. Darcy?" Mr. Darcy looked at his wife with a smile, and Elizabeth nodded: "Yes, I have always believed that after marriage, complimenting each other can enhance the relationship between husband and wife. "

"Then, I also want to praise you, Mrs. Darcy, you are the best sister-in-law in Derbyshire." The conversation between Darcy and his wife made everyone at the table laugh happily.

A better mood can improve appetite, Charlotte smiled and cut another piece of salmon, let Earl Max and his love go to hell.I will never be affected by this incident.

After dinner, everyone sat in the living room to play cards. Unfortunately, Charlotte and Earl Max became opponents, so Charlotte decided to let Earl Max lose badly out of spite.

When he lost again, Earl Max pushed the cards on the table aside: "It seems that next time I come here, I will bring more money."

"Oh, Earl, what are you talking about?" The Earl lost, but Elizabeth won. Elizabeth counted the money in front of her, and couldn't help saying in surprise, "Indeed, Earl, I have enough money for lunch tomorrow."

"That's because I have a good opponent, Mrs. Collins, next time you play cards, can you sit at my opponent's house?" Charlotte was not surprised that her little trick was seen through by Earl Max, and smiled. "I haven't been very lucky at cards, you know, Count."

This was the first sentence Charlotte said to the earl after the reunion. Earl Max smiled: "Then, I hope that next time we play cards together, your luck will improve."

This man has always had a thick skin, Charlotte thought to herself, but with a sweet smile on her face: "Okay, Earl, I hope your good luck can turn around my bad luck."

Such a polite and cold conversation is suitable for the earl in front of him.Charlotte reaffirmed this, for the earl had smiled appropriately, and the game began again.

This time Charlotte didn't count carefully, and Earl Max finally got back some money.But it wasn't enough to offset those he had lost earlier.

The night passed quickly like this, and when everyone got up, said goodnight and went back to their rooms, Georgiana mustered up the courage to speak to Mr. Darcy: "Brother, I want to know, when will Mr. Rochester come?"

"Maybe tomorrow, maybe the day after tomorrow, it depends on how he handles things in London?" Mr. Darcy was a little surprised that his sister would take the initiative to ask when the guests would come?But this may be because Georgiana no longer treats her as a child, but as an adult.

Since it is an adult, it is normal to know when the guests at home come.Mr. Darcy persuaded himself thus, without seeing the glances exchanged between Elizabeth and Georgiana.

And this gaze has already fallen into Earl Max's eyes. Could it be that Georgiana fell in love with Philip?

But why is my cousin afraid to speak?After all, the two families are well matched, and Philip would have to be a little bit higher.

Earl Max had another worry in his mind, so he decided to ask Georgiana early the next morning.

It is not difficult to find an opportunity to ask Georgiana. When Georgiana heard that Earl Max’s words were not a question but an affirmative tone, Georgiana’s entire face turned white, and she put her hands on her skirt, not knowing what to do. how to answer.

"Georgianna, I don't think I'm as serious as your brother, why are you afraid?" Earl Max frowned, which was very strange for Earl Max.

"Because..." Georgiana refused to continue after saying a word, Earl Max nodded: "I understand, Georgiana, are you afraid that your brother will not allow it?"

"No, no, Earl, I know my brother loves me, and he won't allow it, but because, you know, Mr. Rochester loves Mrs. Collins. And I don't have the ability to make Mr. Rochester fall in love with you. "Georgianna said with some frustration, and Earl Max laughed loudly at this answer: "God, Georgiana, this is the funniest thing I've ever heard. You were born so beautiful, and your family background is so outstanding. Don't have the ability to make Mr. Rochester fall in love with?"

A tangled look appeared on Georgiana's face again, and then she spoke carefully: "But, Earl, these are not the necessary conditions for love to arise. If this is the case, then you have already married Mrs. Collins by now, instead of still divorced." She's so far away."

It seems that my little cousin has really grown up, and she can say poignant words.The gloomy look on Earl Max's face made Georgiana take a deep breath: "I know this hurts your heart, but Earl, love is a wonderful thing, and it doesn't mean that you will fall in love with it." .”
