Countess of Pride and Prejudice

"It seems, Earl, you have caused quite a lot of trouble." Charlotte smiled and looked at Earl Max, who shook his head solemnly: "No, my dear, it's not my fault. It's you know, anyone Outsiders, who want to enter it, will go through this once, especially when you..."

Earl Max didn't go on talking, because Charlotte's eyes were still shining like that.Then Charlotte smiled: "No, Earl, I don't want to enter their so-called circle. Of course I know what kind of place it is and how to enter it, but now, I want to please myself, not please they."

Earl Max was a little shocked by Charlotte's words, such confidence was rarely seen.

"Then, dear, I am willing to help you." After being shocked, Earl Max took Charlotte's hand and kissed it lightly on his lips.Charlotte smiled brightly like a flower, and when she looked at the Viscountess, there was provocation in her eyes.

Such provocation made the Viscountess very displeased. A woman who doesn't know the heights of heaven and earth really thinks that marrying Earl Max can enter the circle of high society?And is it popular with everyone?

"There are quite a few women like this, Madam Jane, you know that." Another lady whispered in the ear of the Viscountess.

The Viscountess nodded, and when she turned around, her smile was as calm as usual: "Of course I know, but it's a pity that Earl Max was fascinated by her, thinking that such a woman is enough to be Countess Max. I think, in a few days, we can look forward to seeing you." play."

What the Viscountess said made the lady laugh too. The two held up their wine glasses and touched each other lightly. Seeing the blurred expression flashing in the wine under the light, the Viscountess smiled. Many people are easily confused by London's sensuality. But what they don't know is that there is a price to pay.

"Oh, Mrs. Alyssa, your daughter-in-law, frankly speaking, has a much harder road than many people." Of course Mrs. Alyssa also has friends. When she heard the old friend's advice, Mrs. Alyssa He frowned slightly, and then said: "Yes, of course I understand. But Matilda, you should know what a stubborn person Henry is, and it has been so many years since poor Anne passed away. Can he agree to marry another , is also a comfort to me."

Yes, yes, Madam Matilda nodded: "I understand too, but my dear, you have to know that there are always people who are not convinced, and you also know that Madam Helen is very dissatisfied because of this matter. She has been living in London all these years There was a lot of wind.”

Lady Helen?This name made Mrs. Alyssa's frown tighten, but soon Mrs. Alyssa smiled: "Honey, I know why your concerns are, but if you want to be the Countess of Max, if you blindly need Human protection, how can this be possible?"

"Mrs. Eliza is quite right," the Marchioness of Lancaster interrupted after hearing these words as she happened to pass by them.

This made Mrs. Alisa very happy: "Yes, the Marchioness of Lancaster, I think many people will agree with me. How can you face the wind and waves if you have not experienced the wind and rain?" The Marchioness of Lancaster deeply agreed , and then looked at the dance crowd: "Think about it, in a few years, I should worry about this matter, and time is really not forgiving."

"Oh, Marchioness, you are too modest, you are so young. But for a young and beautiful lady like you, if any lady wants to be your daughter-in-law in the future, she must be ashamed first." Madam Matilda's words made her feel ashamed. The Marchioness of Lancaster smiled, after all, everyone likes to hear compliments.

Despite all these noises, the ball at Earl Max's Mansion was generally very satisfying to everyone.It was already three o'clock in the morning when Earl Max saw off the last guest, and his servants would arrange to clean up the rest. Earl Max and Mrs. Alyssa said good night and went back to rest.

Mrs. Alisa looked at her son and decided not to remind Earl Max about Charlotte's worries. Of course, Mrs. Alisa did not know Charlotte's plan.

"My God, I feel like I'm going to float in the air." It should be very tiring, but Mrs. Lucas is still very excited. Charlotte will marry so well, better than all the girls in Meryton. To marry well, and her mother-in-law treats her so kindly, is simply the happiest thing in the world.

Caroline leaned in the carriage and did not hear Mrs. Lucas' joy.Mrs. Lucas was a little dissatisfied that she didn't get a response, but she still patted Charlotte on the shoulder: "Honey, I think I won't be able to sleep with joy these days."

"Mom, you have been repeating it seven or eight times every day these days." Caroline couldn't help but speak. After all, this carriage belongs to Earl Max's residence, and their conversation in the carriage might be overheard by the coachman.You know, the coachman and the cook like to spread all kinds of trivia about the master the most.

It would only do bad things to Charlotte if Mrs. Lucas's joy were known.

"Caroline, thank you, but mother can say what she wants. After all, such opportunities may be rare in the future." Charlotte's words made Mrs. Lucas happy again, but Caroline could hear Xia Lu He shrugged his shoulders and didn't say anything else.

The preparations before the wedding were also very cumbersome, but when Charlotte objected to the tailor's suggestion again, the face of the seamstress, who was called Mrs. Burt, became even worse: "I know, Mrs. Collins, You will be the Countess of Max, but the dress I have made for you is the most fashionable in London."

"It may be the most fashionable in London, but you know very well, Mrs. Burt, this style does not suit me." The sensitivity to clothing and jewelry cultivated since childhood, let Charlotte know that the people behind Mrs. Burt, Maybe the idea is good, but it is bound to be the wrong idea.

Charlotte's words made Mrs. Burt's face change, and then Mrs. Burt continued: "Of course, Mrs. Collins, we should respect the opinions of our customers, but you are so difficult to serve, and there is no tailor in London who is willing to pick you up." live."

Yeah?The smile on Charlotte's lips did not change, but she looked at Mrs. Burt: "What if I tell the tailors all over London the color matching of your clothes? Do you think you can continue to make such a profit in London? Feng's job?"

I have to admit that Mrs. Burt was still frightened by Charlotte, but she quickly said: "No, Mrs. Collins, I think..."

"Do you think you can get your companions to refuse? Mrs. Burt, tell me straight up, who do you usually make clothes for? Do you think it is insignificant to offend me?" Charlotte's Her complexion sank, which made Mrs. Burt's heart skip a beat. Is this still the very lucky widow who came from the countryside and knew nothing in the legend?What she showed at this moment was clearly the aura of an aristocratic girl who grew up in London.

"Mrs. Collins, I didn't—"

"If you continue to quibble, Mrs. Burt, then I will show the next tailor what kind of stuff you make. Mrs. Burt, what kind of benefit is it that allows you to disregard your own livelihood? And decided to frame the customer?"

This is a threat. Mrs. Burt knew that she should not be afraid and could not accept such a threat, but there was a voice in her heart that she had to accept such a threat, so Mrs. Burt gave in: "Then, do as you say." , Mrs. Collins. I think we can continue to discuss the color of the next travel suit."

Charlotte did not answer immediately, but looked directly at Mrs. Burt before continuing to speak.

It seems that this Mrs. Collins has indeed been misunderstood. Mrs. Burt looked at the color scheme explained by Charlotte, and had to admit that Charlotte's proposal was indeed better.Although the fashion of this era is completely different from that of Margaret's, it is a woman's natural ability to master fashion, especially various color schemes. Seeing the expression on Mrs. Burt's face, Charlotte couldn't help but smile slightly. .Thinking that in this way, they can give themselves a good reputation and show the ability of their circle, they really underestimate themselves.

Clothes, jewelry, handbags, even shoes and umbrellas were remade, and the wedding day finally arrived.

The wedding day was no different than any other wedding, except that Mrs Lucas was more excited than usual, and Sir William was almost crying.The whole wedding was considered smooth, and when the wedding was over, the newlyweds were sent to the carriage for a short two-week trip.

"It turns out that you are really sad, but because of little William, not for me. I am very, very sad." As soon as the carriage door was closed, Earl Max couldn't wait to say to the new countess.

"Of course, you know, little William is a very sweet boy, and it's not uncommon for me to be a little sad at the thought of not seeing him for two weeks."

"These two weeks may be the only time I can monopolize you, the longest time." Earl Max held Charlotte's hand, but Charlotte heard something different from his words Come.

Although this body has already given birth to a child, it is still a young girl inside. This kind of thing is really embarrassing.

Earl Max looked at the embarrassment on Charlotte's face, and a smile appeared on his lips, but let's not break the point, let these two weeks of travel be full of joy.
