Countess of Pride and Prejudice

After lunch, Sir William and Earl Max walked together in the garden.Sir William once again solemnly expressed his joy to Earl Max.

This made Earl Max smile: "Sir, I am very glad that I can get your appreciation, but Sir, I still think that your teaching to Little William is inappropriate."

"Inappropriate places, such as?"

"For example, you know, I love Charlotte, so I also hope that Charlotte's son can become my family, instead of asking Little William to obey as you said. After all, Little William will still I want to inherit Longbourne and be the head of the family over there." As soon as Earl Max said, Sir William understood, opened his mouth a little, and then said: "I'm sorry, Earl, you know, for me, for people Modesty and prudence are the right thing to do.”

"Of course, sir, you are quite right to think so, but little William will be my family, and maybe for a long time, he will be my children's elder brother. A good parent, not only Just be humble and prudent."

"You are so right!" Sir William wiped the tears from his eyes with a handkerchief, and then he shook Earl Max's hand with a very eager look: "Count, if I told Charlotte before I said this, If there are any doubts about marrying you again, then now, my doubts about you have been completely dispelled, you are really a good person, a very good person. "

Sir William's enthusiasm was all Earl Max could think of, so he smiled and said: "Then, Sir, what I said to you, I hope you will remember that little William is first and foremost the son of my dear Charlotte, whom I love Charlotte, of course, will take care of him."

Sir William did not produce his handkerchief this time, but kept nodding his head to show that he understood.

The purpose of Earl Max was to persuade Sir William not to make Little William too humble. Now that the goal had been achieved, Earl Max chatted with Sir William again and assured him that he would treat Little William well.

These assurances made Sir William extremely happy again, so the conversation between the Weng and the son-in-law came to a very successful conclusion.

Sir William went back to his room to rest, and Earl Max also went back to his room. There will be a dance tonight. Although it is only three o'clock in the afternoon, it always takes time for ladies to dress up.

But when Earl Max walked into the room, Charlotte was not dressing up, but was holding little William and reading fairy tales to him.

Seeing Earl Max walking in, Little William stood up and saluted Earl Max in a proper manner. Earl Max patted his face: "Very good, good boy, but tonight, you need to go to bed early by yourself, because your mother and I , there will be a ball to attend."

"Mother has already told me, Earl! And she also told me that she may attend many balls in the future, if..." Little William blinked, and decided to say all Charlotte's words: " If you and your mother have a younger brother or younger sister in the future, then I will take on the responsibility of being an older brother."

"Oh, my God, Charlotte, did you tell him all this? I've never seen a kid as old as him be so sensible. He's only five years old this year." Earl Max was a little surprised, after all, he was five years old. The children are often very naughty, crying because of any dissatisfaction.

"No, Earl, I will be six years old in March next year, and now it is almost Christmas." Little William's words made Earl Max laugh again, and he stretched out his hands to hug Little William: "Very good, Good boy, maybe I can look forward to taking you hunting next year. Even, you can hunt a fox paw and give it to your mother."

"Really?" Little William didn't expect such a big surprise.Earl Max nodded: "Of course it is true, but before that, you still need to learn how to ride a horse."

"I can ride a horse, even though it's a pony." Boys always had a lot of fun talking about it, and little William was no exception.This made Earl Max even happier: "Then, you can practice horsemanship better."

Little William nodded solemnly, Earl Max patted his head again, Charlotte had already smiled and said: "Then dear, you need to be alone, the Earl and I are going to the ball tonight, so now, Ma'am Let's start dressing up."

"Does every lady spend more than two hours dressing up?" Little William asked curiously, and Earl Max laughed: "Yes, Little William, when you grow up, you will know, no Young ladies may spend more than two hours dressing up, but three or four hours."

"My God!" Little William exclaimed exaggeratedly, which made Earl Max and Charlotte laugh, and then little William left their room.

"Thank you, count, I think you are doing very well."

"I'm very happy to get your affirmation!" Earl Max's eyes were as bright as the stars in the sky, Charlotte couldn't help but kissed his lips, and then Charlotte's face couldn't help but blush, it was too much to do so Be bold.Charlotte quickly walked to the dressing table: "I think it's time to start dressing up, otherwise, it will be too late."

Earl Max's face became brighter. This was the first time Charlotte kissed himself actively, so Earl Max walked up to Charlotte: "Honey, I'm very happy, very, very happy."

"Oh, Earl, you deserve it." Charlotte's words made Earl Max laugh again: "So, dear Charlotte, is this your reward?"

"If you think so, then, so be it." Charlotte felt a little sad for some reason, but she concealed it well.

Earl Max's expression became a little serious, and then he curled up Charlotte's hair on his fingers: "Honey, these are very common things, don't be shy, really."

Charlotte's face turned even redder, but she still tried to raise her head and smiled at Earl Max: "I'm not shy, Earl, I just, I just don't know what kind of feeling it is."

"This means that you have fallen in love with me deeply." Earl Max's words were always so confident, which made Charlotte laugh again, but soon the smile on Charlotte's face began to disappear, yes, deep love Like him, maybe unconsciously.Charlotte, it is really impossible for you to turn back this time.

But what if you can't turn back?The look in Charlotte's eyes began to become gentle, and she couldn't turn her head back, just live well in this time and space, maybe one day, she could see her grandmother going to London, and the love story between her and her grandfather has been heard many times .

Charlotte's thoughts did not affect her popularity at the ball. After all, a woman of status and wealth, if combined with intelligence and good looks, would easily get along with others.

After only three or four dances, Charlotte gained several friends. Although this kind of friendship is not strong, it does not make Charlotte depressed. All friendships start like this. I remember my grandma once said this .

"Yes, Marchioness, you know that Pemberley is indeed beautiful. In fact, Mrs. de Bourgh has been living there these days." Charlotte talked to people with a smile on her face, and provoked new people from time to time. topic, which made her even more popular.

"I heard that Miss Anne's illness has improved a lot after living in Pemberley for so long." When Miss Anne was mentioned, someone immediately began to mention her health. After all, the daughter of a famous noble family was in poor health, so I seldom go to London, and I have never been to the palace to have an audience. It is inevitable that people will feel that the morals of the world are a bit unfair.

"Indeed, my cousin's condition has improved a lot, which makes Aunt Catherine very relieved." Before Charlotte could finish her sentence, she heard Madam Helen's arrogant voice not far away: "Sure enough, where did you go alone?" It can't be changed, you can say it like this now, Aunt Catherine, but nothing can change it, you are just a priest's widow."

Charlotte really didn't know why she offended Lady Helen, maybe it was because of Earl Max?Thinking about it this way, Charlotte would not be nice to Madam Helen, after all, she would never remember being nice to her.

And the people around stopped talking, and all looked at Mrs. Helen and Charlotte.After all, everyone knows that, as a well-known woman in high society, Madam Helen has quite a few servants under her skirt.What could be more striking to Lady Helene than a widow from the country with her own charms?

"Yes, Mrs. Helen, your memory is very good. I was indeed the widow of a pastor in the country. Even when Earl Max proposed to me, my identity was still Mrs. Collins. But everything has changed now, In particular, I walked in here not as Mrs. Collins, but as," Charlotte curled her lips into a smile, and her voice was more provocative: "The identity of Countess Max."

Unexpectedly, this country woman was quite eloquent. Madam Helen began to grind her teeth, wishing to slap Charlotte away, but listening to the discussions of the people around her, Madam Helen knew that she could not do this.So Mrs. Helen made a smirk on her face: "So, you are Countess Max, but you have to know, it's not..."

"I think my qualifications are not inferior to yours. Madam Helen, no matter how dissatisfied you are with my husband, if you want to vent your anger, please go find my husband, instead of being afraid to go like a cowardly mouse." Just like facing a cat, you can only provoke others."
