Dear Mr. Darcy [Pride and Prejudice]

Emma, ​​ignorant of Mr. Darcy's thoughts, soon waited for Georgiana, who was out of breath.Georgiana knew what a big mistake she had made when she saw Mr. Wickham. The hat on the other side of the bush belonged to Mr. Wickham, and she hurried away without bringing Mr. Darcy. Any chance, on the contrary, may bring Mr. Wickham and Emma, ​​who are very strange to each other, an awkward encounter.Georgiana didn't care to talk to Mr. Wickham, and hurried back after saying hello.Seeing Emma who was still waiting in the distance, Georgiana apologized guiltily: "Sorry for keeping you waiting."

Emma rubbed the little angel's soft hair. "You're quite fast. I met Mr. Wickham just now. Let's go to the living room first, and take a walk another day."

When Emma and Georgiana returned to the drawing-room, Mr. Darcy, George, and Mr. Wickham were talking, or more accurately described: Mr. Wickham was talking, George occasionally responded, and Mr. Darcy was sitting Not a word was said there.

Emma didn't seem to notice the somewhat stiff atmosphere over there, so she naturally pulled Georgiana to sit on the other side.Georgiana stole a glance at Mr. Wickham, and made no offer to join the gentlemen's discussion.Emma discussed with her to go shopping for clothes and accessories on the weekend, Georgiana readily agreed, and then made shopping plans without distraction.

Although Mr. Wickham was eloquent, the audience did not cooperate with him, and his mouth was dry and he did not receive much response.Mr. Wickham secretly hated the arrogance of the two men in front of him. At first he hesitated to abduct Emma and elope, but now he felt that George was so arrogant and rude to him, and he did such a thing as courtesy.

Thinking of this, Mr. Wickham sneaked a glance at Emma. Emma had been paying attention to his reaction, and immediately met his gaze, and then slightly lowered her head to avoid looking at him.Their movements are small and fast, and no one knows except the parties concerned.

Mr. Wickham was at once encouraged by the look.Smart and beautiful ladies always put on airs and pretend to be indifferent to enjoy the enthusiastic pursuit of gentlemen, as if this can show their difference.But Emma's reaction betrays her, she clearly already has some affection for him.Having seen the dawn, Mr. Wickham gritted his teeth and talked for more than an hour. Before leaving, he said that he had a pleasant chat with George and hoped to continue to visit in two days.

After Mr. Wickham left, Georgiana still felt guilty, and took Emma to see the bird that was said to be able to learn human speech.The parrot flapped its wings and cried, "God bless, God bless."

Emma had seen a parrot before, but in order to match Georgiana, she still showed a surprised and happy look. "It's really like it."

The parrot suddenly called out: "Emma."

Emma's eyes widened. "Is it calling my name?" Although I have seen a parrot before, I have never been called by a parrot before. This kind of novelty is not bad.Emma smiled and said to Georgiana: "Thank you, I like this gift very much."

Georgiana was a little puzzled, she hadn't told the butler the name of the parrot Emma, ​​maybe the butler knew that Emma was coming to Pemberley, so she prepared a welcome gift for her?It should be right. "Well, as long as you like it."

No one noticed that Mr. Darcy's expression was very stiff, and he relaxed a little after hearing Georgiana's words.The cage of the parrot is hanging in the study room. He didn’t teach the parrot on purpose, but when he reads and writes the letter, sometimes Emma’s face appears in his mind, mostly with a gentle smile and joy in the emerald green eyes. Occasionally, he is sad, aggrieved, and firm. He usually wakes up from the illusion quickly and continues to work, but sometimes he can't help saying the name softly and sighing: Emma.He didn't expect the parrot to learn it. It turned out that the parrot had never said anything other than "God bless".

Emma teased the parrot in a good mood: "What else can you say?"

"Emma, ​​Emma. Emma..." the parrot kept repeating Emma's name.

Mr. Darcy was about to stiffen into a stone.The parrot's cry made him feel ashamed that his thoughts were exposed in broad daylight.He thought of Emma's silent concern, the rejection in the hut down the Cotswolds... Mr. Darcy struggled from the memory and coughed: "It seems that it will only These two sentences. The steward will continue to teach it."

Emma nodded. "These two sentences probably cost the housekeeper a lot of time. Georgiana?"

Georgiana looked at the parrot reluctantly, and secretly decided to ask the housekeeper to teach the parrot her name. "Then we'll come back in a few days."

Emma went to George's room that night to find him.

After all, after getting along for so long, George knew from Emma's expression that she must have something for him to do. "What do you want me to do?"

Emma smiled approvingly. "Nothing. I just want you to find a good excuse to tell Mr. Darcy that neither you nor he will be able to go out with us that day when Mr. Wickham next calls."

George felt a little flattered by Emma's approval. "No problem. But what are you going to do?"

What Emma said was an understatement. "What can I do? There are some poor gentlemen who have been tricked by Mr. Wickham into lending him a good deal of money, which is said to be spent in business, and which was really used to pay gambling debts. I want Georgiana to see I saw the scene where these gentlemen went to confront Mr. Wickham." For gentlemen with huge debts, casinos generally take special measures, and Mr. Wickham can still stand here in good condition Of course, not because the casino believes that he can marry a rich wife with his charming charm, but because he used business as an excuse to defraud several gentlemen of their money and repay part of the gambling debts in batches. Ability.

George's expression became very gentle. He liked Emma's soft heart. This originally soft and shy sister had a sudden change in personality after undergoing a great change. Only at this time could he find the shadow of his original sister.He didn't feel that the younger sister after the change was bad, in fact he liked the younger sister better now, but he was also confused occasionally, would that incident really cause such a big change in the younger sister?The overlap between the current Emma and the original sister can give him a sense of familiarity and security. "Is this enough?"

Emma had some idea of ​​George's mood.She can't play another person forever, and instead of playing the original Miss Kentra until she can't bear it or shows her flaws, it's better to use the misfortune as an excuse to justify the change of character, and occasionally show the characteristics of the original Miss Kentra.Emma blinked in confusion: "Isn't it enough? I hope Georgiana can see Mr. Wickham's true colors. Mr. Wickham's attitude towards Georgiana is a little too attentive, and his rhetoric is very deceptive." , but he is definitely not a suitable marriage partner." In fact, Emma certainly wanted to teach Mr. Wickham some extra lessons, but strictly speaking, Mr. Wickham did not touch Emma's bottom line. He didn't really launch an offensive against Georgiana, but his words and attitude were a bit ambiguous, which was enough by Emma's standards.

George said with relief that there was no problem with Emma's choice, but he still didn't understand one thing. "Why don't you let us go together? What if those people get emotional and hurt you?"

Emma had her considerations.Mr. Wickham is a villain, if you make enemies with him, you will inevitably worry about being murdered.There are only two ways to solve this problem: make him completely afraid of revenge or let him know who the enemy is.Mr. Wickham's target at this stage is her, so George must be his primary suspect.But George is famous for doting on his younger sister, and will not let his younger sister face possible dangerous situations alone.But this reason is not suitable to tell George.Emma said naturally: "There is no reason for you to go to Mr. Wickham. There are accompanying servants to protect us from being affected."

George felt it was reasonable to be told by Emma. "Then you can be sure that he will offer to accompany you?"

Emma gave George a curious look. "It would be best if Mr. Wickham did not offer an escort to prove that he had no intentions of Georgiana."

George also felt that his question was a bit stupid, so he smiled and stopped talking.

Things went as Emma expected. Two days later, when Mr. Wickham came to the door again, George came in from the outside and told Mr. Darcy that there was a problem with their merchant ship in North America and they needed to leave immediately.Emma looked disappointed, and Mr. Wickham at once expressed his willingness to serve the two beautiful ladies.

Emma hesitated a little: "It doesn't seem appropriate, in our place..."

Mr. Wickham looked very calm: "I grew up in Bloomberg, and Georgiana is just like my family. Please don't worry."

Emma glanced at Georgiana, who nodded shyly.Emma quickly glanced at Mr. Wickham, lowered her head and said softly, "Then I will trouble you."

Because of Emma's vagueness, Mr. Wickham misunderstood as she expected, thinking that it is a relatively intimate behavior for a man to accompany a lady to go out in Yorkshire, so he seemed to be inadvertently going shopping with the two ladies after returning. The story was revealed to a famous gossip woman.

On the other hand, the people arranged by Emma also pretended to have no intention of bringing Mr. Wickham's two creditors together, and revealed the news of Mr. Wickham's gambling debts.After checking, the creditors felt that it was hopeless to get back the debt. They wanted to teach Mr. Wickham a lesson, and they heard that Mr. Wickham was going to go out with the two ladies, so they chose to block him in the street that day.

The author has something to say: First of all, I would like to apologize to the little angels. I agreed to turn on the V yesterday, but when I returned home from my hometown at night, I couldn’t log into the backstage. I asked a technician to fix it until after twelve o’clock.So I got up early today and found an Internet cafe to upload.This is the first time I see someone who is late to enter V and that person is myself_(:зゝ∠)_

In other words, I think the technician sister will never want to see me again.

Sister technician: You go to XX to find XX to open XX.

Me (I couldn’t find it even though I was dazzled): After all, the system is different and I can’t find it. Forget it, click on each of them and try it. If you click this or that, it’s too bad that you click something strange and the network is disconnected.

Technician sister (waited for me for 10 minutes and didn’t respond □□ and dropped the line): Dear?

Me (with difficulty reconnecting to the Internet): I'm sorry I had such and such a problem just now.

Technician sister (already noticed that I don’t know how to use computers very much): It’s okay dear, I’ll take a look at it remotely for you.

Me: ok ok.

3 minutes later.

Sister Technician: Please confirm.

Me: It’s all over so quickly, and it’s really responsible for asking me to confirm that it’s all right.Why is it still not working?

Sister Technician: (￢_￢) Because I haven’t started remote operation yet, please confirm.

Me: Do you want to formally confirm it?OK, I confirm that you can take a look remotely for me.Do you want voice? (It is not easy for technicians in this era, and the remote operation needs to be confirmed repeatedly to avoid any follow-up problems)

Sister Technician: -_-|||I mean let you click the confirmation button......

It must be true love that the technician sister is willing to repair it until after twelve o'clock.This is the first time I know that I am a real computer junkie [Manual goodbye
