Countess of Pride and Prejudice

"I'm not as healthy as Georgiana!" After thinking for a long time, Miss Anne found another reason.Earl Max smiled again, with a bit of playfulness in his smile: "Yeah, Anne is not in good health and cannot take long-distance travel, so everyone must take care of her. Anne is not in good health and cannot be angry, so everyone must take care of her." You have to accommodate her. Annie, you are so well protected by your aunt. If one day..."

"I will have a guardian." Anne interrupted Earl Max, and then stood up: "I think, I have been out long enough, I need to go back to my room to rest."

Charlotte did not take Anne back to her room herself, but called the maid to take Anne back.This action made Anne purse her lips and look at Charlotte.

But Charlotte didn't want to send her back in person as Anne thought, as gentle and obedient as before.Anne, after looking at Charlotte for a few minutes, returned to her room, still accompanied by her maid.

"Perhaps Aunt Catherine will be mad at you, or at Georgiana too."

"Count, do you still like to watch the excitement like this?" Charlotte raised her eyebrows and looked at Earl Max.

"No, I'm not watching the excitement, but to remind you." Earl Max looked at Charlotte motionlessly, and Charlotte smiled, "Then, should I ask you for help?"

"No, Mrs. Collins, you are not the kind of person who would ask me for help because of such a small matter." Earl Max's words made Charlotte look at him, and then Charlotte smiled: "Count, it's not like you words that can be said."

"Because Mrs. Collins, you are not a person who needs help to make a decision. You are very brave, Mrs. Collins." This time Charlotte was not angry, but lowered her head. When she looked up, there was already a smile on her face. Laughing: "Then, I accept your compliment, Count Max."

Earl Max took a deep look at Charlotte: "Then, don't sit here, I think, today is a garden party, so let's go out and play games together? Today's prizes are very generous."

"Count, you still haven't changed at all." Charlotte's words made Earl Max smile: "No, I just want you to understand me, lest you always say that I only try to understand you and refuse to let you understand me .”

This kind of conversation was a bit too intimate, and Charlotte's expression slightly restrained, Earl Max smiled again: "Mrs. Collins, friends can understand each other, just like you and Mrs. Darcy."

That being the case, let's be friends first, Charlotte nodded to Earl Max, got up and went with him to the crowd with rich prizes.

The games at the garden party are nothing more than fishing and archery.Among them, the archery side was the most lively. When Charlotte and Earl Max came here, they heard Georgiana's voice: "I'm sorry, Mr. Rochester, I shot sideways again."

"It doesn't matter, Miss Darcy, I'm not good at teaching, come on, go on."

Then there was the cheering and cheering of the crowd. Earl Max listened for a while, and asked the people around him with a smile: "How could it be that the lady is shooting arrows and the gentlemen are guiding?"

"Hello, Earl, it is like this. Since today's prizes are very rich, it is decided that the gentlemen will guide the lady to shoot arrows. Whichever lady shoots the best, then she and the gentleman who guides her will win. Just now Bin Miss Gray shot the best, and now it's Miss Darcy's turn."

After listening to the explanation, Earl Max looked at Charlotte: "Then, Mrs. Collins, can I guide you in archery?" Charlotte did not answer, but looked at the archery range.

While speaking, Georgiana's last arrow had been put on the arrow, and Philip was re-acquainting her.

Philip's tone was as gentle as ever, and Georgiana felt her face turn even redder. What if she misses the shot again this time?

"Miss Darcy, don't worry so much, stay calm, stay calm." Philip did not know Georgiana's thoughts, but reiterated again in a gentle tone.

Georgiana took a deep breath again and saw Charlotte talking to Earl Max. For some reason, Georgiana felt very relaxed this time. She clasped the bow and arrow tightly and aimed forward. When she let go, there was a swoosh, and the arrow hit the bull's-eye. .

The onlookers cheered, Charlotte and Earl Max also applauded, and the judges indicated that this arrow was much better than Miss Bingley's.

Georgiana let out a long breath and relaxed, and said to Philip with a smile: "Thank you, Mr. Rochester, it is your patience and guidance that allowed me to shoot such a good arrow."

"You don't need to be so polite, Miss Darcy, it's all thanks to your ingenuity." The girl smiled beautifully under the sun, and Philip lost his mind for a moment, but he soon recovered and said politely to Georgiana.

"Hey, Philip, you are so polite. Come on, Georgiana, give the arrow to Mrs. Collins. I really want to guide Mrs. Collins in archery, so that you, the master, will not get the prize." Earl Max has put his arms around Philip's shoulders and said with a smile Speak to Georgiana.

Does Georgiana feel that she and Philip are a little too close?Hearing Earl Max's words, he hurriedly handed the bow to Charlotte, and said to Earl Max: "Then, Earl, I wish you good luck."

Earl Max glanced at Felice again. Philip's expression was as calm as usual, but he always felt that Earl Max's glance was a little different from usual. Could it be because of Georgiana?Thinking of this, Philip looked at Georgiana and saw her standing there talking to someone.

Her profile was so tender and touching, Philip felt that something rippled in his heart.But soon Philip suppressed these ripples, no longer thinking about what caused the ripples, but looked at the field.

"Very well, Mrs. Collins, that's it..." Before Earl Max finished speaking, Charlotte's fingers had already loosened, and with a whoosh, they hit the bull's-eye.

Earl Max was a little shocked, and then he saw that Charlotte had already clasped the second arrow in her hand, so Earl Max put away his shock and continued to teach Charlotte seriously.But Earl Max whispered, "Mrs. Collins, is this considered cheating?"

A smile appeared on Charlotte's lips, and then she shook her head: "It doesn't count." As the words fell, the second arrow flew out again. Although it missed the target this time, it was not far from the target.

Then came the third arrow, and this time, it hit the bull's-eye again.

Charlotte put the bow aside and looked at Earl Max: "Count, your teaching is very useful." Earl Max recovered and bowed to Charlotte: "No, Mrs. Collins, it's all because of your steady hand. "

Charlotte bowed her knees to return the salute, and smiled at Georgiana: "It seems that the Earl has made great efforts to prevent Miss Darcy, your master, from getting the prize."

Georgiana smiled and clapped: "I am very happy to be able to get Mrs. Collins the prize."

When Georgiana applauded, the surrounding audience began to applaud.If losing to Georgiana, Miss Bingley still thinks it is a normal thing, but now Charlotte is better than Georgiana, which makes Miss Bingley feel even more embarrassing. She glared at Mr. Wilson and turned around. go the other side.

Mr. Wilson bowed deeply to the place where they were standing, and followed Miss Bingley's footsteps.

Georgiana had already brought the prize to Charlotte, and Charlotte thanked Georgiana and went to the other side to grab the lottery ticket.

The place where the lottery tickets were grabbed was the busiest. Charlotte stopped to watch for a while and was about to leave when she saw Earl Max standing beside her.Charlotte looked at Count Max: "Count, there are quite a few gentlemen here today, I think you should go and chat with those gentlemen instead of..."

"No, Mrs. Collins, I just happened to be here." When Earl Max said this, his face didn't even change.Well, knowing that this man had a thick skin, Charlotte decided to ignore him, but walked to the brook.

"Why don't we talk about Mr. Wilson? I always feel that he has spent so much energy just to get a mere [-] pounds of property, which is not worth the candle."

Earl Max's words made Charlotte stop: "Then, Earl, in your opinion, what is Mr. Wilson's purpose? He is not going to flee England, is he? Did he do something like murder and arson? For fear of being pursued Kill him before heading to Europe, and then kidnap a girl to pay for his expenses on the way before leaving England?"

Earl Max lightly clapped his hands: "Yes, Mrs. Collins, you are really a smart person."

Charlotte's face sank: "Count, you are joking, if Mr. Wilson really committed such a crime, how could he appear in public?"

"No, I'm not joking, Mrs. Collins, you must know that many hidden crimes will not be known to the public." Earl Max's words did not sound like a joke, and Charlotte looked at him again: "Then , what have you done, count?"

"I wrote a letter to the Mr. Wilson I know, and I will receive a reply in about two days. You must know that being able to save the future of a lady is also doing a good deed." Earl Max's tone was relaxed , Charlotte looked at him suspiciously: "Count, why are you doing this?"

"Because I don't want someone I love, talking to me, talking to me, and she gets cold."

I have to admit that Earl Max's words made Charlotte feel very happy, but Charlotte still tried to turn her head to the other side: "Then, Earl, continue to do good deeds every day, I'm going to find little William gone."
