[Pride and Prejudice] Squire and Noble

The person who came was Mr. Houston. Recently, these guests from London lived in Bell Manor, so it was only natural for him to come to the salon with Isa.

Sitting in the carriage, Isa remembered Lydia's words.

It turned out that Mr. Houston's background was not small.

His father's generation had the title of duke. Although he will be demoted to an earl in his generation, he is still a nobleman who used to be extremely honorable.

Mr. Houston's family is a standard aristocratic ups and downs. They live an elegant and idle life, with extravagance and huge expenses on weekdays.As the title of nobility is passed on from generation to generation, it will intensify. In addition, these nobles think highly of themselves, are often headstrong, and do not like to expand new thinking. Therefore, the decline is almost an established trajectory.

So, this Mr. Houston is a very prominent old-fashioned aristocrat.

However, it is clear that in Mr. Houston's generation, he has begun to wake up a little bit.

Isa thinks this gentleman is not bad, they chat casually, and the atmosphere is harmonious.The gentleman had an aristocratic sense of humour, was very personable, and was always comfortable speaking and never uncomfortable in silence.In this way, they followed the carriage to the door of the TAC firm.

Because of the holding of the salon, this place has changed a lot.

Mr. Houston walked in with Isa.Because it was still early, there was no one inside.The environment here is very elegant, the lighting and the artwork complement each other, and the protagonist of this salon reflects the charming brilliance in the hazy lighting.

Isa looked at the beautiful wine bottles with the Darcy family logo and the Bell Manor badge on them.

She looked over one by one, and Mr. Houston followed her, showing the most elegant gentlemanly demeanor.

At the end, she saw Mr. Darcy.

He was standing in the corner, his figure was still so tall and slender, and he was dressed solemnly and luxuriously, making his figure even more majestic and extraordinary.At this moment, he seemed to be looking at something intently, leaving them with a handsome back, and letting the dim light obscure his figure.Yisha looked at the back and suddenly felt that it was a little lonely.

She shook her head, laughing at the thought in her heart.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Mr. Darcy turned his head and took a look. He met Isa's eyes, and he didn't move for a while.

Isa nodded lightly, showing a not warm smile, but her attitude was still natural and elegant.Seeing Miss Elizabeth like this, Darcy couldn't help but tighten his heart. His hands were gradually clenched on the side, but on the surface he still nodded slightly calmly, appearing calm and self-possessed, as everyone saw in peacetime. Same.

Isa continued to watch, and after a while, she stopped and looked at a painting in front of her.

This painting does not seem to be the work of a famous artist, because both the color and the paper seem to be quite new.This is an oil painting, which depicts a castle. The castle is in the center of the picture, facing the beautiful bright sunshine. The majestic building is magnificent and extremely noble.In front of the castle is a clear river surrounded by trees and birds flying lightly.Behind the castle, there is a stretch of mountains. In the whole picture, the castle is the theme, but the other scenery is not inferior.

The painter's brush strokes are decisive and grand, with a touch of delicacy in opening and closing, and a touch of lightness in the solemnity. The sky is a sea blue, and the vision is wide, showing a hint of enthusiasm and warmth that seems to be absent.

Yisha showed her appreciation, "Although this painting is not a famous work, it has a special flavor. It is full of artistic conception, pleasant scenery, solemn and dignified, with a trace of the painter's delicacy. This kind of painting makes me want to guess involuntarily. The author of this painting will be a person with a broad mind, a solemn and serious appearance, but a delicate heart and hidden enthusiasm."

Mr. Houston took a glass of wine produced by Bell Manor and tasted it with great enjoyment. Hearing this, he stood beside her in a very gentlemanly manner, "Oh, I happen to recognize this painting. This is a real place. What is depicted here is the beautiful scenery of Pemberley Manor, and the person who depicts this painting happens to be Mr. Darcy."

Isa was taken aback, and subconsciously turned around.

The guests have come one after another at this time, and Mr. Darcy is walking to the door to greet him. His appearance is serious and reserved, with an unapproachable taste, indifferent and arrogant.

She smiled slightly, but said nothing.

The people in Meryton were all amazed at the elegance and mystery of this salon, which they had never participated in before, and the salon was used to people in the upper class.Therefore, the most accustomed people in this salon are Mr. Houston, Mr. Fox, Mr. Smith and the two Miss Brown.

They tasted good wine, admired famous paintings, and talked with each other elegantly, and all the people named Meryton seemed to have entered another world.

All the members of the Bennett family also came. For them, shocking things happened one after another. At this time, they all got used to calming down.In the middle of the salon, Darcy suddenly walked up to Isha's side and raised his arms, "My partner, please follow me."

When Isa heard this strange sentence, she couldn't help laughing, and followed him to the center.

The music stopped, and a light shone on them. Mr. Darcy raised his hand and looked down lightly.After everyone's attention was drawn, Mr. Darcy's steady voice resounded throughout the space, "Today's salon is held by TAC Wine Company, that is, the Darcy family and Bell Estate. We have created this wine together. Brand, all the fine wines you drink here today come from Bell Manor."

There was a burst of exclamation from below, followed by a few scattered applause.

She was slightly surprised, but quickly calmed down.

At this time, he should stand here with Mr. Bennett!

Next, he said a few more words, announcing the official production of Bell Wine Estate's red wine and finalizing the brand.After finishing speaking, Isa walked gracefully to the back with him.As soon as she stopped, Isa frowned slightly, and couldn't help asking in a low voice, "Mr. Darcy, you should have asked your father to go up with you just now."

"Why?" Mr. Darcy also frowned a pair of beautiful eyebrows, and his brown eyes were deep and boundless, "You are the partner I recognize, and I naturally want to open this new page with you." He paused , adding, "What's more, this proves our equal relationship."

Isa suddenly lost her voice.

That's right, if she really wants to be equal, then she should also stand up as his legitimate partner instead of leaving these matters to Mr. Bennett.Moreover, he is right, since she is cooperating with him, then he has reason to only recognize her as a partner.

The two looked at each other, their eyes filled with their own turbulent thoughts.

"Miss Elizabeth!" At this moment, an abrupt and artificial voice suddenly interrupted the two people's gaze.Isa turned around suddenly, and saw that it was Mr. Collins who came.He walked up to them and tried his best to suppress his excitement, "Oh, is this also the property of the Bennett family? It's really good, good, very good!"

He said three good things in a row, which made Isa almost turn black. She pursed her lips, "Mr. Collins, this is not the place of the Bennett family. It belongs to this gentleman." She put Darcy's The figure gave way.

"Ah, isn't it so? Oh, that's a pity..." He expressed his regret deeply, and then he looked at Mr. Darcy. This gentleman looked extremely noble, and he looked like a wealthy upper-class gentleman. His eyes lit up immediately, and he bent down flatteringly, wanting to say hello.

Darcy's face was completely dark. He looked at Collins coldly and stood with his hands behind his back.

Isa naturally didn't want Collins to ruin this elegant salon, she frowned slightly, "Cousin, please follow me."

"Oh, yes, my dear cousin." Collins seemed to have completely forgotten the confrontation that day, and became extremely submissive.He lived in the bleak manor of the Bennett family for two days, and after these two days, he had completely inquired about the situation of the Bennett family.They not only own a Bell Manor, but also have a wine production line. It is said that their annual income is a full seven thousand pounds!

Of course, this is just a rumor from the neighbors, and no one knows the specifics yet.

Watching the two of them leave side by side, Darcy's calm and self-possessed handsome face finally showed a trace of distress and pain.His hands were tightly clenched into fists, complex emotions intertwined on his face.

Before coming here, he wanted to take this opportunity to shake hands with Miss Elizabeth and clear up the previous misunderstanding, but when he actually came here, seeing her elegant and distant attitude with perfect etiquette, he suddenly found that there was nowhere to start!She was so calm, much calmer than him, as if nothing happened that day at all.

Darcy leaned against the wall, his eyes darkened.

No, maybe he should also be calm and calm. It's good to be distant like this. After a while, maybe he will find that he is not so... uncomfortable?

Also, is that greedy but posing man just now her cousin?Oh, he finally saw a relative of hers who hadn't been reformed. Perhaps, she had countless relatives like this who lined up to covet her property, so her life would definitely not be peaceful, and the person who was close to her , will not be at peace.

Yes, so, they don't fit!

Darcy tried hard to restrain his emotions, and tried his best to push Miss Elizabeth away in his heart.

On the other side, Isa finally lost her patience after all kinds of hints and nagging from Mr. Collins.She stopped coldly by the quiet terrace and looked at the chattering Collins.At this moment, he was talking about the Bennet family's estate in Longbourn, "Miss Elizabeth, Uncle Bennett, I must tell him how badly the land in Longbourne is managed, oh, if I come If it is managed, it will definitely glow with charming brilliance.”

"Well, what is worth admiring is the vastness of the Bell Manor. Oh, it is so beautiful, and it also has such strong funds... But Mrs. Catherine once said that money is temporary, but wealth and status are eternal."

He puffed out his chest proudly, awaiting the praise of his cousin Elizabeth.

But Isa stared at him intently, with a sarcastic smile on her lips, as if she was watching a clown acting.She looked at him for half a minute, with this magical half-smile expression, and then she said coolly, "Cousin Collins, why do you care so much about the Bennett family's property? Is it because you think they are Will it be yours after a hundred years from Dad?"

"Oh, that's not the case. That's why I came here this time. I feel very guilty about this treaty. This time I want to make up for you!" Mr. Collins replied nervously, fearing that his vanity and greed would be destroyed. People found out.

"No, Mr. Collins, you don't need to make any compensation to us." She said softly, just at that moment Mr. Bennett noticed something was wrong and came over from the other side, so Isa took this opportunity to spread out Said, "Cousin, you must have never studied the inheritance rights of Bell Manor."

Collins' heart tightened, and Isa said coldly, "You won't get a penny of everything here."

"Therefore, please stop dictating our property." She raised her chin slightly, with a proud and noble posture, "You can toss about the land in Langbourne as you please, but please put away your endless greedy face, and that A nasty compliment, because there's nothing you're entitled to covet but there!"
