Countess of Pride and Prejudice
Chapter 53
Charlotte hesitated for a moment before saying the following words: "You, all, anything about you, I need to accept."
"I didn't ask you to accept it now." There were reservations in Earl Max's words, and Charlotte could hear the reservations, and then Charlotte shook her head: "No, Earl, as I said, I can live without you."
"But I don't want to be without you in my life." Maybe it's because the night is very thick, the light coming out is very dim, and the lights are flickering, which makes Earl Max urgently say this sentence again.This made Charlotte frowned again, and then Charlotte smiled: "I'm sorry, Earl, I think, but you have never been rejected by a person like me, so you just feel competitive."
"No, Charlotte, it's not embarrassment. Believe it or not, I can tell you that I don't treat you out of embarrassment."
Charlotte listened carefully, and there was no deception in these words, Charlotte smiled again: "Then, thank you, thank you Earl, thank you for letting me know that there are still people in this world who don't care about appearance My family and property have expressed their love to me. However, I still have to say sorry to you, count, I have no intention of falling in love."
"Then we can be friends first." Earl Max took advantage of the victory, Charlotte shook her head again: "No, Earl, we'd better not even be friends, it's late, I should go to rest, good night, Earl .”
"Even if it is of great benefit to little William, you are not willing?" Earl Max did not give up his efforts, Charlotte turned to look at the earl, and then smiled: "Yes, earl, maybe you can say that I am not a Good mother, but I think it will prevent the child from becoming vain. Good-bye, Count."
Charlotte's figure had disappeared before Earl Max's eyes. Earl Max was not depressed, but smiled happily. Tonight, such a conversation is not a bad start.
The game ended late, and as Lady Catherine went upstairs with the customary loud noise, Charlotte turned over in bed, and pressed her pillow to her ears.This Mrs. Catherine is really a person who can go her own way to the extreme.
The Darcys returned to Pemberley only in the evening, when Lady Catherine was criticizing the placement of some pictures, and emphasizing once again that a matron who lacks taste in art is a source of ridicule.
"Hi, Aunt Catherine, nice to meet you." Mr. Darcy frowned unconsciously when he heard Mrs. Catherine's words as soon as he entered the building, but out of politeness, Mr. Darcy went forward to greet Mrs. Catherine .
"Oh, Darcy, you came just in time. Come on, didn't I tell you last time? This painting should not be hung here, it needs to be hung in the study, and this potted flower needs to be placed in a different place."
Mr. Darcy looked at Georgiana, and it was not surprising to see embarrassment on Georgiana's face.Mr. Darcy smiled consolingly at his sister, and then said to Lady Catherine: "Auntie, your appreciation is very good, but I think the whole corridor is more lively when this painting is placed here."
Lively?Mrs. Catherine wanted to continue persuading Mr. Darcy, but she saw little Henry running over, shouting childishly, "Auntie, I miss you so much."
Such a lively and lovely child expressed that he missed him very much. Even if he was as picky as Mrs. Catherine, he couldn't help but smile, and stretched out his hand to hold little Henry in his arms: "Why didn't my aunt see you when she came?"
"Because we went to see the little sister at Aunt Jane's house. The little sister is very beautiful." Little Henry said solemnly. Mrs. Catherine first smiled, then frowned, and looked at Elizabeth who had already walked over: "Although I know , you and your sister, including Mr. Bingley, have a very good relationship, but I have to say something unpleasant. Little Henry's future wife will be the mistress of Pemberley, and it must not be settled easily."
Elizabeth is now familiar with Madam Catherine, and replied with a smile: "Of course, little Henry is still very young, and Elizabeth has just been born. When it comes to this matter, it is still very early."
Elizabeth?Mrs. Catherine frowned again, and Mr. Darcy had already explained: "The Bingleys wished to name their daughter after Elizabeth, and wished Elizabeth and I to be little Elizabeth's godparents, and we happily agreed. "
They are all young people who like to take matters into their own hands. Lady Catherine continues to patrol the Pemberley Building. This time Georgiana can replace her with Elizabeth.
Georgiana breathed a sigh of relief, and Mr. Darcy smiled at his sister knowingly: "Georgianna, you did a good job. Where is Mr. Rochester?"
"My aunt said that Anne needs to take a walk in the woods every day, which is good for her health. The Earl and Mr. Rochester have been arranged to go for a walk with Anne." It seems that Lady Catherine did not give up her efforts to make Philip her son-in-law. The husband did not intend to tell his sister about this, but nodded: "Then I will go to the woods to find them. Georgiana, you have indeed done a good job, just like what Elizabeth said, you are no longer a child."
Getting her brother's praise was Georgiana's happiest thing. Watching her brother leave, Georgiana felt the weight on her shoulders disappear.
Just when Georgiana was about to go back to her room, Georgiana saw Elizabeth approaching, and asked a little strangely: "Why, Auntie finished talking so quickly this time?"
"I asked her to pick out some beautiful tablecloths for the upcoming garden party. So she happily took Grandma Reynolds to pick out." Elizabeth's answer made Georgiana smile, and then Georgiana shook her head: "Sorry, I never thought of such an ingenious solution."
"It's not that you didn't expect it, but that you haven't met much." Elizabeth smiled and said to the sister-in-law. Georgiana nodded and asked, "Why have I never heard of a garden party?"
"It was suggested by Miss Bingley at Mr. Bingley's house this time. She said that she missed Pemberley Manor very much, so she wanted to visit Pemberley again before leaving England."
Miss Bingley used to be good friends with Georgiana, but this friendship gradually began to estrange after Elizabeth married Mr. Darcy.
At this moment, Georgiana couldn't help frowning when she heard the news: "Miss Bingley is going to Europe, I have never heard of it before."
"She..." Elizabeth had a fierce battle in her heart, whether to tell Georgiana, but Elizabeth was soon convinced by herself: "Miss Bingley is engaged to a Mr. Wilson, and Mr. Wilson hopes that after they get married, Being able to travel to Europe for a few years, it may take a long time for them to return. Therefore, Miss Bingley wants to say goodbye to her friends."
What Elizabeth didn't say was that Mr. Wilson, although he looked rich, always had a feeling of unreality.After Mr. Wickham's incident, Elizabeth was always a little wary of any man who was handsome, articulate, gentle and considerate.
Miss Bingley's temper is not very good, and if Mr. Wilson is as he appears, then Elizabeth would like to congratulate her on finding a suitable husband.
If not, then Elizabeth should remind the Bingleys to take precautions.As for Miss Bingley, she would not listen to anyone, so Elizabeth could only look on.
Georgiana felt that Elizabeth still had something to say to herself, but Georgiana didn't care, and said a few words to Georgiana before going back to her room to rest.
At supper time the news of another garden-party was given by Mr. Darcy.At the same time, Mr. Darcy also suggested to Philip: "Since a friend of ours is leaving England for Europe, the time for this garden party is also a bit tight, and it will be held next Wednesday. Mr. Rochester, you and the Earl can stay here for a few more days , and leave after the garden party is over."
Philip intends to refuse, but Earl Max has already nodded: "Philip, then stay a few more days, take advantage of these few days, you can take a good look around Pemberley, I tell you, after visiting here, you will miss Pemberley forever beautiful scenery."
Since Earl Max said the same, Philip nodded in agreement.This made Georgiana not know whether it was joy or sorrow, and she could only look down at the soup on the plate, as if she could see the patterns on the bottom of the plate clearly.
"It's a good idea to hold a garden party, dear Anne, I think you can join that day." Mrs. Catherine would only show her kindness when she met her daughter. Miss Anne didn't say anything when she heard this, she was still eating quietly .So for this matter, everyone present expressed their willingness to participate.
Elizabeth smiled slightly, as if she could foresee the excitement that day.
Two days before the garden-party Miss Bingley arrived at Pemberley with her betrothed.Mr. Wilson was indeed a very handsome and handsome man, and as for Miss Bingley, he treated her as if she were a queen.
This made Miss Bingley more and more pompous, like a peacock just opening her tail.
After the civil congratulations of Miss Bingley, Miss Bingley conveyed to Charlotte her condolences on the death of Mr. Collins.This Mr. Wilson glanced at Charlotte, and immediately judged that Charlotte was just a person who was neither beautiful nor rich.So Mr. Wilson said affectionately to Miss Bingley: "My dear, you must take care of yourself, and I will accompany you until you grow old."
"I didn't ask you to accept it now." There were reservations in Earl Max's words, and Charlotte could hear the reservations, and then Charlotte shook her head: "No, Earl, as I said, I can live without you."
"But I don't want to be without you in my life."
