[Pride and Prejudice] Squire and Noble

While thinking about it, she tasted the wine little by little. When the wine was half full, Isa narrowed her eyes and looked lazily at the sky outside.There was only one skylight in this wine cellar, and it was open at the moment, through which she could see the dark sky outside, and even a corner of the moon.

Isa sighed softly, smiling with blurred eyes.

Holding the wine glass idly, she walked around lazily, looking up for all the traces of the moon.Going around, she felt a little dizzy and her feet were weak, so she simply lay sideways on the sofa next to her.This sofa is very spacious, and it was specially placed here by Yisha, and the whole person feels soft and comfortable when sleeping on it.She often tastes wine here, and then nests here to rest for a while in a daze.

Leaning on the back of the sofa, she narrowed her eyes.

The soft moonlight came in from the skylight and fell straight on her face.From this angle, from this position, she could clearly see the round and bright moon in the sky, as gentle as a mother's embrace.Satisfied with the corners of her lips, Isa put the wine glass next to the sofa and closed her eyes.

If she really decides to go to London for a while, she won't be able to see this lovely wine cellar for a long time, and Isa feels that she will definitely suffer from the legendary lovesickness.

After a while, Isa really fell asleep.

During the recent period, first the dance, then the salon, begging for harvest, and grape brewing, it has been a long time since she quietly enjoyed the atmosphere of fine wine in such a comfortable and quiet environment.Now the surroundings are quiet and the moonlight is gentle, it seems difficult for her not to fall asleep.

The night gradually deepened, and Bell Manor became quiet after dinner.

Isa is always too busy to be seen, which seems to be no surprise. Mrs. Bennet said a few words worriedly, and just told the cook to wait, and when Isa came back, he would cook a dinner for her immediately.

At this time, Darcy was idle and got out of the carriage with two bottles of good wine in his hand, skillfully walked through the jungle, pushed aside layers of weeds, and opened a small door Bundle.

There was a "creak", the volume was slight, but it was enough to wake Isa up.

She has always been a light sleeper, and she was startled at this moment. She suddenly woke up from the dream, took a deep breath, and immediately turned her head back.

I saw the small door open, and a tall figure was bending over and walking in slowly.Without looking any further, she was immediately sure that this was Mr. Darcy.Relaxed, she let out a deep breath. The feeling of being awakened suddenly was really uncomfortable. Isa squinted her eyes and couldn't help whispering, "You scared me, Mr. Darcy."

Her tone was extremely lazy, like a kitten just waking up, and this sentence seemed to carry an intimate complaint.

Darcy was stunned for a moment, and the hand that was about to reach out to turn on the light stopped suddenly.

To be honest, he really didn't expect that this young lady would still be wandering alone in the wine cellar at this time.

His heart moved uncontrollably, he hesitated for a moment and then strode towards her, "I'm sorry, I didn't know you were here."

Standing at an appropriate distance, Darcy looked at the slender and lazy figure in the sofa.

She still prefers to wear plain skirts, as if she is trying her best to make her beauty a little thinner. The moonlight shone on her body like a hazy layer of holy light.At this moment, she was nestled in the sofa, her little face seemed to have some lingering shock, but she had obviously relaxed again, as if his joining would not cause any ripples in her.

Is it because her influence is too small, or is she too little defense against herself?

Damn it, neither the first option nor the last option can make him happy.

Darcy pursed his lips tightly, trying to hide his cranky mood.He walked over as if nothing had happened, and put the two bottles of fine wine in his hand on the shelf by category. His familiar look seemed to be more familiar than the master Isa.

Isa tried her best to wake herself up, "Well, Mr. Darcy, those wines are all yours, they are really good wines."

"Yes, Miss Elizabeth, they are all looking for owners who understand them better, and I think you must be the best candidate." Darcy's voice was extremely low in the dark night, with the most gorgeous magnetism of men, like a bass Ministry of Cello.

"Ha, thanks for the compliment." She smiled.

Seeing that she was falling asleep again, Darcy chagrined at his own charm.Where can a lady be so relaxed when she is alone with a gentleman? He doesn't expect this lady who lacks the string of love to show enthusiasm to him, but at least she shouldn't be so careless.

"Miss Elizabeth, I think I have something to say to you."

Isa patted her cheeks and became more sober, "I also have something to discuss with you, Mr. Darcy."

Darcy's complexion immediately improved a lot. He nodded in a gentlemanly and reserved way, walked towards the small table over there, and sat down, "Ladies first."

"Mr. Darcy, have you ever thought about expanding the TAC wine business? The brand effect of Bell Manor is still too small. I think we need to open up the market faster. Obviously, this market cannot be sold in Meryton. It's opened." Isa didn't politely refuse, and started talking directly, and she honestly spread her hands, "I can't wait."

The sisters in the family may get married at any time, and the appearance is not enough, they also need a real dowry.

"Of course, I also have the same intention. TAC has already established several branches in London, and it has entered the formal stage. As for the expansion of the Bell wine brand market, I don't think it will take too long." Darcy finished, She looked over meaningfully, with complicated eyes, "Miss Elizabeth, you dare to show your ambition so frankly, which I admire very much."

Isa was taken aback for a moment, this gentleman was indeed forward-looking and capable.

As for the second half of the sentence, Yisha raised the corners of her lips, her eyes twinkled brightly, "If you want to hide your ambitions from your partners, then you are too cautious. A person who is too cautious will only drive himself crazy , and will not bring more benefits. What's more, you have never hidden your request from me, have you?"

Darcy's heart shrank suddenly, and a dark light flickered in his eyes, and he asked in a low voice, "So, what do you think I want?"

She raised a finger, but did not say bluntly, "You have untold wealth, a lot of influence in the church, a vast land, rich resources and insight, but you didn't stop, instead I am working harder and harder, but what I want is of course a title." She said bluntly, "People always want to enter the circle of nobles, that is your father's wish, now you must want to go for yourself and for your father. achieve it."

"Am I right, Mr. Darcy?" she said flatly.

Darcy was silent for a moment, feeling a little glad that she didn't really see through herself, and feeling a little regretful that she could always see most things clearly, but couldn't see clearly a gentleman's obsession with her. "You're right." His voice was steady, without any emotion from being seen through, "However, I didn't know you knew me so well, Miss Elizabeth."

"Part of this is my understanding, and the other part is known to everyone in Meryton. These are not secrets." Isa smiled, sat there, and leaned comfortably on the back of the sofa.

Seeing her languid look like a kitten, Darcy's heart seemed to be fluffed by feathers, and he was very sad.She must not know that at this moment, she made a gentleman suffer repeatedly in such a silent air, but she trusted him so much, as if she couldn't understand the danger of a man when he was alone with the lady he loved!

Darcy's heart skipped two beats, and his tone suddenly became harsh, "Then, Miss Elizabeth, where will your ambition go? As far as I know, Bell Manor, regardless of the number of servants or the well-trained guards, It should not be owned by an ordinary squire family!"

Isa was stunned for a moment, and her mind, which had just been confused, regained consciousness in an instant. After pondering for two seconds, she said, "Then my ambition is enough to match the identity of the Bennett family."

"Oh? Then our goal is the same." Mr. Darcy's eyes flashed.

"Really?" Isa was a little hesitant. As a princess in her previous life, she had seen most of the corruption in the aristocratic circle, and there were some hidden places that people could not show in front of the princess. So, this The aristocratic circle is actually not as glamorous as it appears on the surface.

Although he has a luxurious life and power, he wears luxurious and elegant clothes and walks in the social arena.

But the erosion underneath is also very serious.Isa doesn't think that her goal will be the title of nobility. She thinks that the best situation is to be the daughter of a great squire...with wealth, land, and glorious marriages of sisters. After the days calm down, she Find another opportunity to go out for a walk.

She was a little lazy and didn't want to think about it so much, she shrank her body and stopped talking.

Seeing that she had finished what she had to say, Darcy resolved to speak what he had prepared.That nasty cousin stopped him last time and let him watch such a performance. Although it was a bit regretful and aggrieved, it was not a catalyst.If he had doubts about his heart before, then at this moment, he no longer hesitated.

There are so many lovely ladies in the world, but after nearly 28 years, he just loves this one!

Her sharpness, her inviolable pride and dignity, her means, and even her toughness that is a little scary in the eyes of others when dealing with hated people, she is sometimes lively and playful, sometimes calm and wise, sometimes ambitious, sometimes Lazy and idle, every side of her was slowly dug out by him. He thought that there would always be one side that he would abandon, but he found that he was getting deeper and deeper instead.

He couldn't stop it, so he had no choice but to let it go.

"Miss Elizabeth, can I continue what I didn't finish last time?" He whispered, with a lingering taste in the ending.At this moment, he didn't even want to think about whether this elegant and wise lady had any interest in him. He just wanted to clear up the misunderstanding between them and bring their hearts closer.

Yisha's heart skipped a beat, and she subconsciously pursed her lips.

Was it the topic last time?Isa was a little scared when he asked her if she heard those words. As for why she was scared, she didn't know why. Maybe it was just because she was afraid of embarrassment, or maybe she thought of what Charlotte told her for no reason. talk.

"Of course, Mr. Darcy." She restrained herself and responded calmly.

Darcy nodded slightly, "I want to explain what I did last time."

As a businessman, it is definitely not accidental that Darcy can develop his family to such a great extent. He knows the truth that hot tofu cannot be eaten in a hurry.For some ladies, maybe gentle care and enthusiasm are enough to touch their hearts, but for the lady in front of him, he can only overcome it bit by bit.

A strong pursuit will only scare her away, because this lady can talk about everything, and even has her own opinions on marriage, but she seems completely unable to hint at love and her own thoughts. understand.What an exasperating and lovely point it was, and it tormented him, who was in love.

Fortunately, Darcy was able to restrain himself a little.

Yes, he can. Time will prove that even if a wise gentleman has no experience in courting ladies, they must have an innate understanding of chasing ladies.

Mr. Darcy was proud of his sensible judgment three years ago.

Now, it is precisely because of the original piece of paper that bound their relationship that he can be so relieved that he wants to melt her slowly.This cooperative relationship is long-term, and it will not end suddenly.The families of the two of them, Bennett and Darcy in the two surnames, Bell Manor and TAC Firm, will always be linked together, like Siamese twins, linked by flesh and blood, inseparable.

No matter how she evades, she can't escape the entanglement in this cooperative relationship, and he wants to figure it out slowly.

Seeing that he hadn't spoken for a long time, Isa blinked in confusion.

But Darcy took a long leg, stood up suddenly, took two steps forward, and stopped at a relatively close position. He took off his hat, and stared at her quietly with a pair of deep eyes, a little serious, " Miss Elizabeth, please listen to me carefully."

She couldn't help giving him a hard look, looking serious.

She found that this gentleman is always very interesting, no matter what small things, he can always express a sense of caution, making people around him involuntarily follow him to be cautious.

"That time at the ball, what I said didn't mean that. You must have misunderstood me." Darcy said bluntly, "I didn't look down on you, let alone question you. I just hope you can make yourself easier Some, you are a lady, and a lady has a natural right to be protected by a man."

Hearing this, Isa could not help but smile, she shook her head faintly, "Mr. Darcy, you are really an excellent gentleman." She paused for a moment, but expressed her disapproval, "But if I am a requesting A protected lady who hides behind men in everything, so what right does she have to demand equality with you in this cooperative relationship?

The status of women is already low enough. If you don't work harder, what qualifications do you have? She doesn't think there is anything wrong with this. The rewards are always based on giving.

Isa didn't want to hide behind others, and kept talking about an equal cooperative relationship. If that was the case, then it was not equality at all, but a self-righteous treaty, which was too hypocritical.Since she dared to come out and compete with the man for the cake in this business, she was already prepared not to be protected by anyone.

"Yes." Darcy said firmly.

——Because you have conquered the gentleman in front of you, and he is willing to become the most loyal knight for you.

Of course, Darcy would not analyze his heart so easily, he turned to say, "The wisdom you have gives you the right to ask for more, and you are completely free from the issue of identity, you know I won't The partner who discriminated against me is an excellent lady." Darcy's expression was slightly soft, "I believe you are willing to understand my thoughts."

Darcy is not a person who is good at long speeches. Since that time, these words have been hovering in his mind for countless times.

Isa was a little dazed, always feeling as if something obscure had a sharp corner indistinctly.

The two looked at each other in silence. After a long time, Isa showed a slight smile, "Mr. Darcy, thank you, I understand your kindness, and I sincerely admire your demeanor. But there is still a long way to go. , no one is sure that they can protect each other for the rest of their lives, right?"

Darcy's heart shrank tightly, and he was extremely depressed to suppress the phrase "I can" that blurted out.

He looked at her deeply, sometimes, he really hoped that she could appear more despicable in front of him, use her methods to cruelly play with his hidden heart, he even hoped that she could make many demands on him, In this way, he can at least know what he can give her, instead of trying to put the best in front of her.

This must be her trick, right?

Darcy stood there, his handsome back straight and tense, like a tall mountain.

After another moment of silence, he suddenly bent his noble waist gently.Then, in front of her, in the most sacred posture of a knight, he bent his knees and knelt down on one knee.Those long slender hands stretched out, touching her slender hand with a gentleman's touch, and then he held it up carefully and cherished it very much.

Isa was taken aback, her fingers trembled slightly, and she wanted to take them back, but the big warm hand had a strong posture and did not allow her to escape.

"I won't make promises lightly." His voice was slightly hoarse, like hot magma bursting out of the ground after being extremely depressed, "But once a promise is made, it will never be broken in my life. God will help me to witness its truth .”

He will not easily make a lifelong promise to her, before he is sure of it.Of course, he is willing to be her best backer for the rest of his life, and to be a harbor for this strong girl when she occasionally gets tired. He also believes that they will be able to go up together hand in hand, to a very high and far place, to see very Beautiful and warm scenery.

However, he knew that this was not a one-sided matter.
