[Comprehensive classics] Darcy or Brandon

The news of the engagement between Mr. Darcy and Anne spread quickly, and Anne immediately received many blessings. Of course, there were also some so-called malicious blessings. Among them, the most malicious one should be Miss Bingley. She almost It is cursing that Anne and Mr. Darcy will not have a happy life in the future, and it is full of malicious expectations that Mr. Darcy's aunt can come to prevent their marriage.

That Mrs. de Bourgh really lived up to Miss Bingley's expectations. After receiving Mr. Darcy's letter informing her of her engagement, she immediately wrote back, saying that she would bring her daughter to live in London for a while.The pretense is to spend the summer in London, but everyone knows that she is here to find fault.After all, London in summer is not very comfortable. The rich people in London can't wait to go to the countryside for vacation in summer. It is definitely something else for them to come to London to suffer.

After dinner that day, when everyone was sitting and chatting in the living room, Anne suddenly put down the embroidery frame in her hand, turned her head to look at Mr. Darcy, and said, "Your aunt and cousin are coming over tomorrow, Fitzwilliam, I want to use What attitude should I take towards them, I don't think they will like me?"

Mr. Darcy thought for a while, smiled comfortingly at Anne, and said: "Annie, you just need to treat them according to the usual etiquette. My aunt will not be happy to see anyone, she always Being able to nitpick and find a ton of flaws in someone else to judge them unfairly. As for my cousin, she's quieter than Georgiana, she probably won't initiate a conversation with you, you just have to treat Georgiana like Treat her like that."

In Mr. Darcy's view, no matter what Anne does, as far as Mrs. de Bourgh's character is concerned, unless Anne voluntarily gives up the matter of marrying him, she will never look at Anne pleasingly. It's better not to care about the close elders who go to please them but get treated coldly.

"Is it really okay? After all, she is your closest elder." And she seems to be the closest elder in blood. Disrespecting her seems to be disrespecting Mr. Darcy.

"It doesn't matter. Georgiana and I only went to Hansford once or twice a year at most, and our relationship is not very close. Besides, my aunt will not treat you as a junior who needs love and care, so you just You just need to give him respect in terms of etiquette. It's better for you to pay affection to your aunt after she accepts you," Mr. Darcy said, with a very natural expression on his face.

"Well then, since you said so, I will treat Mrs. de Bourgh as an ordinary elder. If anyone wants to play cards now, let us worry about tomorrow's affairs." Anne stood up and caressed He stroked his skirt and said.

After that, everyone played a bridge game for more than two hours, and they didn't return to their rooms until about nine o'clock.After Georgiana changed her pajamas, she came over to talk to Annie, and it was obvious that the little girl was a little uneasy about the coming of De Bourgh and her daughter.

Annie sat down inside, patted the empty space beside her and said to Georgiana, "Joanna, come and sit on the bed."

Georgiana lowered her head and walked to the edge of the bed to sit down, and asked with some embarrassment: "Annie, did I disturb your rest?"

"Don't bother me, I was going to read a book for a while before going to bed. Do you have something to say to me?"

"En." Georgiana nodded, holding the skirt on the side of her legs with both hands, and said, "Auntie is coming tomorrow. Her temper is not very good, and she speaks a little harshly. Annie, please don't mind."

Annie pursed her lower lips and said, "Madam de Bourgh's attitude towards you brother and sister is also not good?"

"That's not true. To be honest, she treated us well as a relative and aunt. It's just that she has a very strong personality, and she always wants my brother and I to do what she wants. A few years ago, my father just passed away, and my brother was busy Manage the family property, basically not at home, I am the only one in the family, my aunt worried that my younger servants would not take good care of me, so she took her cousin to live in Pemberley Manor for a while, she has to intervene in everything in the manor, yes I was disciplined as strictly as my cousin, and everything was required to be done according to her preferences. Even the home decoration at home had to be arranged according to my aunt’s preferences. I...I dare not resist my aunt. At that time, Pemberley Manor would become Luo Sings Manor, I have become like my cousin completely obeying my aunt.

Later, when my brother came home and saw this situation, he was very annoyed, so he asked my aunt not to interfere in our family affairs, but my aunt felt that everything she did was for our own good, and she was very angry.They had a big fight, and my aunt said a lot of bad things and then returned to Hansford angrily. Our relationship was very bad in the next few years, and my brother always regretted letting my aunt take care of me. He felt that I was so cowardly now. In fact, a big reason for my personality was caused at that time, so I have some knots with my aunt. "

"That's the way it is. Sometimes it's really not flattering to be too strong. However, Mrs. de Bourgh's husband died young. She manages such a large family business with her sick daughter alone. It is understandable that she has a strong personality. Yes." Annie nodded and said, Mrs. de Bourgh is actually a strong woman, and Anne, who has been a strong woman for a while before, can also understand, but as a woman, it is enough to be strong in her career, and she is still a small woman in life. Niaoyi people are better.

"Not only that, but in fact... when my mother was alive, I once told my aunt that the two families were in-laws. It was not a formal mention, it was just a joke, but my aunt took it seriously and always hoped that my brother would marry his cousin. Every time my brother and I go to Rosings Manor, she will bring up this matter, but my brother never agreed, he always only treats his cousin as his own sister. Anne, it must be very nice for my aunt to come to see you this time Angry, so you must not mind." Georgiana finally said the purpose of coming here tonight.

Anne looked at Georgiana teasingly, and said in a drawn-out voice: "Oh—so that's the case. I said, if Mrs. de Bourgh hates me, she should write a letter asking your brother to take me to Han Sifu should take a look, why did he come over by himself, so that's how it is."

"Annie!" Georgiana stood up and shyly called Anne's name.

"Okay, Joanna, don't worry, I won't mind." Annie moved to the side of the bed, took Georgiana's hand and said, "Your brother is the most popular gentleman everywhere, I've been here since You know this when you first get to know him. Not to mention a Miss de Bourgh, as long as Fitzwilliam goes around the ballroom, he will be followed by a bunch of beautiful ladies of all colors."

"But aren't you worried, Anne?" asked Georgiana; "my brother has been admired by other ladies."

"Of course I'm worried, but Joanna, you have to remember that men like women who are jealous and angry for them, but they don't like women who are always jealous. So we just need to be clear in our hearts, and then silently stop those women in action It’s fine, on the surface it just needs to show up occasionally.”

When Georgiana heard these words, her entire face flushed with embarrassment. She broke free from Annie's hand, covered her face with her hands and said, "Oh, Annie, what are you talking about to me?!"

"You are about to officially enter the social circle, and there will definitely be gentlemen chasing you at that time. After you find a husband you like, you will know these things. Don't treat those gentlemen the same as you treat your brother. , That’s not good.” Annie said that she was very worried about Georgiana’s character, she felt that Georgiana had some of Jane Bennet’s character, and she would probably hesitate to deal with relationship problems in the future, and she would also encounter It would be a tragedy to think that an indecisive man like Mr. Bingley would be a tragedy. Jane Bennett is a typical example. Anne heard that Mr. Bingley was going to get married after this summer.

"I don't want to get close to those men." Georgiana lowered her head and said, with a trace of imperceptible fear in her voice.

Annie sighed when she thought of what happened to Georgiana. In fact, in her opinion, those things were really nothing, but Georgiana was too worried.Annie thought for a while, pulled Georgiana back to the bed and asked, "Joanna, do you think men are very scary?"

"Yeah." Georgiana nodded. Ever since she saw Wickham's sinister intentions, she would feel scared when she saw a strange man.

"Actually, let me say that your brother is the most frightening type of man. You didn't see his expression at the country dance. It seemed that everyone in the dance owed him tens of thousands of pounds. The whole picture His face is pitch-black. When someone asks him to dance, his eyes are as big as a bull's eye, and he ruthlessly knocks others down, just like a black-faced god. If you have seen him, You will find that the other men in the ballroom are cute and amiable. You have lived with such a horrible man for 16 years. What are the other men afraid of? Even if you happen to meet bad guys , as long as your brother stands up and puts on a straight face, he will scare away all the demons and heretics!" Anne said, thinking of Mr. Darcy's black face at the Longbourne ball, she couldn't help laughing up.

Georgiana was very helpless to Anne's exaggerated statement, but what Anne said was also true. If Mr. Darcy deliberately put on a straight face, he would indeed become a stranger.And being said by Anne, Georgiana also felt that the men with smiling faces at the ball would be cuter.

"Don't worry, Joanna, you will feel afraid now because you have too few men. After you really start to socialize and be pursued by men, you can slowly observe them, and then get to know them, and you will find everything It's completely different from what you look like now." Annie said, getting to know men slowly is the only way for a woman to grow up, and she has walked this way before.

"Is this true?" Georgiana asked. She never knew or thought about what Anne said, and she always felt so far away from her.

"It's true, so you don't have to worry about it. It's very late now, go back to bed quickly, there will be a difficult lady waiting for us to entertain tomorrow, we must have a good experience!" Anne said.

"Well! Then I'll go back to rest first. Good night, Annie." Georgiana nodded, and returned to her room after saying good night.

Annie closed the door, lay back on the bed, gave herself a morale-boosting gesture, and shouted: "Come on Annie, you must not be defeated by that old woman tomorrow! Come on!" [Comprehensive Classics] Darcy or Bran board
