My years as a menswear boss

"Everything will be fine." Darcy gave the young man a comforting hug.

Jiqiu managed to squeeze out a smile, "Thank you." Her face was haggard, pale, and her eyes were full of bloodshot eyes. Everyone who arrived expressed sympathy for Jiqiu.

She exchanged glances with Angelica who was negotiating with the noble ladies, then turned her gaze away to receive the next guest.

Edward Hyde has been wandering outside the upper class all year round and has no good friends, which saves Jiqiu a lot of trouble.

"Today we gather here to attend the funeral of Earl Currenladen. For the earl, death is not the end. His soul is reunited with his father in heaven. Please do not mourn for him. This is only a temporary parting. One day, We will meet him in heaven, and his soul will be with her husband." The pastor finished his prayer.

Then the visitors walked around the coffin to pay their respects to Edward Hyde's remains.

The corpse had already been altered by Jiqiu and stuffed with some stuff, so no one with experience could see the real cause of Edward's death.

Jiqiu participated in the entire funeral with a deadpan expression, during which she lent her shoulders to Angelika many times, surrounded by people all the time.

"Oh, poor countess, she is so heartbroken that she almost faints," exclaimed a lady.

"Yes, but fortunately she has an excellent son, so she won't have to worry about being kicked out of the manor for the rest of her life." Another lady said.

"Hyde Manor is simply the best manor I have ever seen, there is no better place than this." The lady said enviously.

"Dear Sarah, you have a niece of seventeen, why don't you introduce her to your lord, who is of marriageable age."

"If there is a ball, I will definitely take her to it, even if it impresses the lord a little."

Jiqiu stood behind a pillar not far away, and she watched two noble ladies with rare bird feathers on their heads walking towards the gazebo in the garden.

The lord they were talking about should be herself, after all, she has not been canonized by the king and cannot be called an earl.

"Mr. Hyde?"

Jiqiu looked back and saw a familiar face, showing a rare smile, "Long time no see, Miss Mary."

Mary looked at the young man who had changed a lot in front of her, and felt a little strange for a while. If not long ago, Mr. Hyde seemed gentle and approachable, but now Mr. Hyde reveals a kind of alienation and indifference. She can only attribute all this to Ke The blow brought by the death of Earl Lunladen, "Please mourn, the Earl must be proud of you."

"Thank you." Jiqiu said softly. She looked at the somewhat at a loss in front of Mary, and took the initiative to bring up a topic, "Winston came with you, isn't he with you?"

"Mr. Winston met his younger brother and was chatting with him, so I left space for the two of them." Mary breathed a sigh of relief.

Jiqiu suddenly thought of Winston's proposal to Mary, "What do you think of Winston?"

"Mr. Winston is a very elegant and easy-going man, and it is a pleasure to get along with him."

Mary's face was a little hot. She felt that she had developed love with Mr. Winston during the day and night together, but she felt a little inferior when she thought of her family background, so she could only keep this feeling in her heart.

Jiqiu wanted to say something else, when she saw Winston trotting over not far away, "He's here."

Mary turned her head in a panic, her heart beating faster. She avoided Winston's sight and focused her eyes on the ground.

"Sorry, I just explained something to my family." Winston said apologetically, and he looked at Jiqiu warily.

When he was a student in Eton, his classmate could attract a lot of noble ladies to watch the horse race every week.

In the past, Winston would not take this matter to heart, but now he has a sense of crisis.

Jiqiu looked at Winston calmly. According to what Mary said just now, this classmate may not have expressed his intentions yet.

"Hyde, we all regret what happened to your father, and hope you will not be immersed in sorrow."

Winston politely said that he had just told his brother about his feelings for Miss Mary. Little Mr. Winston was a really gentle and gentle person. He always supported his elder brother and never married a squire just because his elder brother wanted to marry him. daughter feels ashamed.

With the backing of his younger brother, Winston does not want his affairs to be ruined by anyone. He has a clear understanding of the process of the two of them getting to know each other through chatting with Mary. He knows too well the attraction of this kind of savior to girls. This is the case in his novels.

Jiqiu didn't care what was going on in the minds of the two people in front of him, "The funeral is over, I'm going to see my mother."

No sooner had she returned to the Great Hall than she heard that Angelica was throwing a ball, to soften the grief the death had brought to her family.Only Jiqiu knew that she was overjoyed, and finally she didn't have to be restrained.

Everyone present suppressed the joy in their eyes. They knew that the lord didn't like to hold balls, except for the time when he adopted a girl, only his coming-of-age ceremony was held.

Everyone didn't want to let go of this high-quality marriage. Even though some people had speculated that the lord might like men, there were still many people who were willing to let their daughters contact Elvis Hyde.

Edward Hyde's funeral, no one really felt sorry for him, and everyone began to look forward to the upcoming ball.

Jiqiu politely finished the finishing touches of the funeral, greeted all the ordinary guests, and sent them away.

As for Darcy and his party, she asked the servant to vacate the guest room and invited them to stay for a while.

Elizabeth saw her long-lost sister, and she almost didn't recognize her for a while, "Mary, you have really changed a lot."

"People don't stay the same forever, and you have changed a lot too, Liz." Mary said looking at her formerly bright second sister.

Elizabeth smiled, "What changed?"

"You look a little lost, are you bothered by something?" Mary asked.

Elizabeth thought of her time with Mr. Darcy, her face was a little unnatural, "It's not a big deal, it will pass soon."

"Won't you introduce your new friend to me?" She saw a tall man standing not far from Mary.

"Mr. Winston." Mary turned her head and called, and the man strode quickly to her side. "This is my second sister, Elizabeth Bennet."

"Liz, this is Mr. Winston, the famous novelist."

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Winston." Elizabeth looked at the man Mrs. Gardiner had mentioned, and there was no flaw on her face.

"Me too, Miss Elizabeth, I often hear Miss Mary mentioning you." Mr. Winston raised his hat, and when he was serious, he would give people a reliable feeling, "She praised you for your beautiful singing and good piano skills. inferior to her."

"Mary has always been too humble. My piano skills are just not playing the wrong keys."

Elizabeth is happy to see that her sister can find a good marriage. She will not talk around like Mrs. Bennet, but will only speak well for her sister in front of the parties involved.

"Yes, she has many beautiful qualities." Winston said bluntly.

Mary's cheeks began to turn red, and she tried to suppress the heat on her face, "You are exaggerating."

Elizabeth saw Mary's lack of self-confidence, and she thought that her family's family background was quite different from Mr. Winston's.

However, Mr. Winston gave up his title to become a novelist, and Mary likes to read books. The chances of these two people entering the palace of marriage are still very high.

"My sister is sometimes too clear-headed, and it is easy to miss something that belongs to her."

Elizabeth took advantage of Mary's conversation with another lady to express her thoughts.

Winston immediately understood what she was trying to express, and he nodded silently.

Elizabeth's mood finally relaxed a little. Jane and Mr. Bingley had settled down, and Mary and Mr. Winston had also made signs. She was really happy that her sisters could have a suitable marriage.

Georgiana finally left from the crowd of ladies and ladies. She immediately found Elizabeth, "Mr. Hyde will hold a ball on this day next month, and he invited everyone at the funeral to attend."

Elizabeth looked at Georgiana with bright eyes and showed a gentle smile, "Don't worry, your brother will definitely prepare a new dress for you."

"No, I'm not worried about this." Georgiana looked at Elizabeth and said slowly, "No one wants to be my brother's dance partner, can you help him?"

"Oh, how is it possible? Don't underestimate the charm of Mr. Darcy." Elizabeth couldn't help laughing. She thought of Miss Bingley who was swaying in front of Darcy every day. Georgiana's excuse was too lame.

"Georgianna is right, I really haven't found a suitable dance partner yet." Darcy didn't know when he would appear next to them, his face was a little nervous, "I don't know if Miss Bennet is willing, if I can get your favor , I would be honored."

Elizabeth looked at Darcy's serious expression, and she couldn't say anything about the refusal. Maybe she didn't want to refuse subconsciously. In the end, she agreed to the matter under Georgiana's expectant eyes.

Jiqiu stood in front of the bedroom window, seeing the episode in the garden, she wrinkled her face, 'Heh, stinky couple. '

"Sir, you have worked hard all day, and it's time to rest." Barton appeared in time and saved Jiqiu from the sourness of love.

"Where's my mother?" Jiqiu thought that Angelika, who had also worked hard with her all day, seemed to be more tired than her, after all, she didn't need to deal with a bunch of chattering from noble ladies and ladies.

"Mr. Boval has served her to rest." Barton replied.

"It turns out that I was the only one who got hurt." Jiqiu sighed.

Barton's expression became anxious, "Where are you injured?!"

"My heart is hurt."
