Dear Mr. Darcy [Pride and Prejudice]

No matter what, money is always to be earned.Jack calmed down for a while, and pretended to be nonchalant, he came out with the blanket, and said loudly as he walked, "We found the blanket."

Emma and Mr. Darcy did not know that Jack's wife saw what had just happened.It was a complete accident, not as ambiguous as Jack's wife thought.After Jack went in, Emma winked at Mr. Darcy and turned her head to the room.She felt that it was risky to stay for a while, but there was no flaw in what Jack said, and she wanted to ask Mr. Darcy if he thought Jack was credible.

Mr. Darcy couldn't understand what Emma meant, and lowered his voice: "You can say..."

Then there was the scene just now, Emma covered Mr. Darcy's mouth, and Mr. Darcy grabbed her wrist subconsciously.

Emma made such an action out of desperation, and she was quite embarrassed when she realized it. She wanted to withdraw her hand, but Mr. Darcy held it too tightly.Emma struggled twice, and then Mr. Darcy realized what had happened, and let go of his hand as if electrocuted.Both were a little embarrassed.

Emma gestured twice with her hands, but it was completely impossible to communicate. She looked left and right, squatted down in the sand on the ground and wrote, "Sorry, it's a stopgap measure." She couldn't speak, and could only interrupt Da Mr. West.The embarrassing atmosphere at this time made her feel that she should have chosen to step on Mr. Darcy just now, which can also have the effect of interrupting, and it is not so embarrassing.

Mr. Darcy looked gravely at Emma in silence.It is not once or twice that such a thing happened to the two of them. To be honest, Mr. Darcy thought that he should marry Emma out of a gentleman's sense of responsibility, but Emma obviously would not agree.She didn't care at all, Mr. Darcy could feel her shyness, but she never took it as a very important thing, even what happened in the Cotswolds, she only defined it as a Embarrassing surprise.Due to various reasons such as his fiancé, Mr. Darcy did not express his views, but he was by no means indifferent to Emma.

Emma paid no attention to Mr. Darcy's extraordinarily serious expression.According to the usual practice, Mr. Darcy would feel a little awkward, try to minimize contact with her with a straight face, and then gradually return to normal.Emma, ​​who felt that the matter was over after the apology, continued to write on the ground: "The house here can't block the sound, you'd better be careful." She can't talk outside, but a dilapidated wooden house with ventilation on all sides has no sound insulation effect at all. Mr. Darcy keeps a distance from her to avoid suspicion. In this case, whispered conversations may also be heard.

The time and place are not suitable for continuing to talk about the matter just now, so Mr. Darcy had no choice but to temporarily put aside what he thought in his heart, and nodded to show that he understood.

Thanks to Jack who struggled in the room for a while, he gave them some time to communicate.It was agreed between Emma and Mr. Darcy that their stay should be limited to an hour, without breakfast.Hearing Jack shout that the blanket was found, Emma quickly destroyed the chat records on the ground with her feet.

When Jack came out, he was relieved to see the two standing in the yard, separated by some distance, without any undue behavior.

Mr. Darcy and Jack dragged the sacks of soybeans and oats from the cellar, dumped them in the yard, and set to work.The rest time is very precious, Emma wraps up the blanket and leans against the door, wanting to seize the time to take a nap.She hasn't had a good rest for the past two days. She is highly stressed and has exercised strenuously. In fact, she is physically exhausted, but she is mentally vigilant and unable to fall asleep.Emma opened her eyes just as Mr. Darcy looked up, and they exchanged glances.With Mr. Darcy on the side, Emma closed her eyes in peace, and soon fell asleep.

Emma's guess just now is correct. Mr. Darcy has indeed never done farm work. He has received a standard gentleman's education since he was a child, and he never tried these as recreational activities when he was playing in the countryside as a child.He showed the cautious and serious attitude of doing experiments when he was in school, and started to work after observing Jack's movements. Although he imitated very carefully and looked very similar, Jack could tell at a glance that something was wrong.The husk of oatmeal is also the raw material of black bread, which can be eaten, and the stalk can only be used to light a fire, but Mr. Darcy does not know that if the husk is rubbed off with a lot of force, it will be thrown away together with the stalk.This wasteful behavior made Jack very distressed.But he lied in order to drag the two of them into taking more money from their pockets. Now Mr. Darcy can’t be allowed to do it, so he can only comfort himself in his heart: the reward of two pounds is enough to buy dozens of times what he took out today. The oats and soybeans are gone, it doesn't matter if some are wasted.

After a while, Mr. Darcy looked up.Emma was still leaning against the door in that position, with her eyes closed, her long eyelashes drooping, her breathing was even, and she was clearly asleep.

The lines of Mr. Darcy's face softened a little.

Jack shivered when he saw Mr. Darcy's gentle eyes.

With Mr. Darcy involved the progress was much quicker and the horses were fed after an hour.Just now Jack asked his wife to prepare food, but there is no natural gas stove for cooking in this era, and it is necessary to burn wood to carry water, and it has not been done yet.Jack was so anxious that he couldn't think of any other means of delay, so he had to watch Mr. Darcy and Emma get on their horses and leave.

Emma took a short nap and felt much better. "Have you been here before?"

"My childhood tutor, Mr. Thomas, lived in the town of Drewth in this county, but I have never been here." Mr. Darcy and Mr. Thomas occasionally corresponded, so they knew the address of the teacher's house, but he had never been, no Know exactly where.I wanted to search for news about Wickham first, and then visit the teacher after finishing the business, but I didn't expect what happened last night.

Emma's eyes lit up.She doesn't think those people are powerful enough to collude with the officials of every surrounding town. Colluding with gangsters to try to kidnap her and Mr. Darcy is a very serious crime, and it can make several police officers in a town take such a big risk To accommodate them has been beyond Emma's expectations.If you really have all eyes and hands, why do you need to be sneaky?Still, be careful.It's such a great time to find a reliable local. "Can your teacher find a trusted police officer?"

Mr. Darcy recalled the contents of his last correspondence. "No problem. An old friend of the teacher is the sheriff. The teacher returned from London in the summer and was ill for a few days. The letter did not mention any plans to go out in the near future. It is more likely that he will be at home. If it is not far from Drews Town far, we can go to the teacher."

Emma nodded.This time, the actions of those people were very crazy, and many flaws were exposed. As long as a reliable police officer is found and they follow the clues, these people will be exposed soon.She really wanted to know what the identities of those people were and what enmity they had with the Kentra family.

Maybe the previous series of encounters used up all the bad luck. They soon met a person. Mr. Darcy stepped forward to ask the direction of Drews Town. Emma couldn't believe it after hearing the passerby's answer Own good luck.Going north from here is the town of Drews, and you can reach it in the afternoon if you go well.

The sky gradually revealed a white light, and the enemies behind hadn't caught up. Emma had a feeling that the fortunes of time and fortune will come to an end.

Now that he is relatively safe, Mr. Darcy thinks he can say the question: "What happened just now..."

Emma was stunned for a few seconds before realizing what Mr. Darcy was talking about. If Mr. Darcy didn't mention it, she would really forget it.Why did Mr. Darcy suddenly speak of this matter?Was it because her apology just now was too perfunctory?Emma said very sincerely: "Sorry, I couldn't speak just now, and I was worried that they would hear what you said. I'm sorry."

"You don't have to apologize to me." Mr. Darcy wondered why he didn't see that Emma was wrong.Although Emma took the initiative to cover his mouth, judging by the current normal value standard, he is not the victim, Emma is. "You think it's your responsibility?"

Isn't that sincere enough?Emma looked guilty and said firmly: "Yes, of course I realize this."

Emma didn't know, the firmer her attitude, the more puzzled Mr. Darcy was, and he could see that she felt from the bottom of her heart that he was the one who was taken advantage of. "It appears that you do not consider the matter to be of great importance."

It turned out that the problem was here, and Emma thought she had found the crux.Mr. Darcy was displeased by her nonchalance after the apology.But she did this to avoid embarrassment. Is there a better solution to this kind of thing than pretending it didn't happen?She can't marry Mr. Darcy because of such a trivial matter.Although she thought so in her heart, facing Mr. Darcy who was taken advantage of, Emma said sincerely: "I thought this would avoid embarrassment, and I am willing to make up for my mistakes."

In fact, Mr. Darcy is a person with very quick thinking and sharp words. He is usually reticent, but as long as he thinks, he can always give an appropriate answer.For the first time Mr. Darcy felt at a loss for what to say.After a pause of 1 minute, Mr. Darcy asked a question he had always wanted to ask.This question hovered in his mind countless times, but he always felt that it was inappropriate so he didn't ask it out, but at this time Mr. Darcy felt that the answer was very important. "This happened with others, and you have the same attitude?"

This question is a bit ambiguous.Emma did not want to deceive Mr. Darcy. "Yes. If there is an accident by accident, my attitude is the same, and I will not decide my marriage because of this accident."

Mr. Darcy's thinking is different from what Emma guessed. He didn't mean to be ambiguous when he asked this question. He just wanted to know whether Emma held such an attitude because of him, or just had such a thinking mode.Obviously the latter. "Our actions are governed by our thinking, and our thinking is influenced by both education and life. Sometimes you give me the feeling that you come from a completely different world. There is a set of thinking patterns that are different from this world. What we value, in It’s trivial in that world. What we consider deviant is perfectly normal in that world.”

Emma took a deep breath, and a line of big words crossed her mind: It's over, it's over and it's revealed whether there is a time-traveling theory now, shouldn't it be regarded as a possessed devil and burned to death.

Mr. Darcy continued: "Sometimes I wonder whether you, like Gulliver, have lived on a strange island overseas for many years. When you come back, you prefer stables instead of living in bedrooms. You love horses more than lovers."

Only then did Emma's intense heartbeat return to normal, and she was almost in a cold sweat from the fright just now.Mr. Darcy's judgment is completely accurate. Fortunately, the times have limited Mr. Darcy's imagination, otherwise he would have known that she was a time traveler.Emma laughed twice: "I never knew you were so humorous before." Mr. Darcy's words really hit her sore spot, and Emma couldn't help but say something more. "It would be too pitiful to be like Gulliver. In the eyes of others, he must be crazy."

"No." Unexpectedly, Mr. Darcy had a different opinion. "If Gulliver has no overseas experience, he is indeed crazy, because the horses in our world are not as noble and full of wisdom as the horses in Hui Yiguo. He thinks that horses are more worthy of respect than humans. It is an illusion of insanity. .But he has lived in Hui Yiguo for a long time, and his actions are well-founded."

Emma smiled wryly. "So what if I'm really Gulliver? I've lived overseas for 20 years. In that country, men and women are equal in all aspects. Everyone uses their work to realize their own value. Women don't enjoy extra privileges." .Since they received the same education from childhood, there is no difference in intelligence between men and women. Many women also become politicians or businessmen through hard work, and gain status and wealth. Men and women are combined because of love and practical considerations. A man Love his wife because she understands him, not because of her beauty and obedience."

Mr. Darcy tried to see Emma's expression, but Emma lowered her head, and her expression was lost in the dim light.

Just when Mr. Darcy was about to drive the horse closer, Emma looked up and smiled. "It's just a joke. Gulliver's experience is a fiction. How could it happen in reality? The reason why I have different interests and ideas is influenced by my family and my tutor at the time."

Mr. Darcy suddenly had a strange feeling that what Emma had just said was true.He knew it was impossible, Emma had never been to sea, and she was not yet twenty years old.But this strange feeling never went away.

Usually this village is very quiet, with few outsiders coming, but today it is extremely lively.After the two guests left in the middle of the night, when the sun was about to rise at dawn, a few more people from the village came, and after inquiring about a few houses, they knocked on the door of Jack's house.

Jack felt sleepy after Emma and Mr. Darcy had left and lay down and fell asleep.After not sleeping for a while, he was awakened by the knock on the door again, and he went out to check the door irritably. Several middle-aged men with strong physique were standing at the door of his house.Jack saw that they were all equipped with penis, and the impatient look on his face immediately disappeared. "Is there a problem?"

The leading man said in a deep voice, "Did two people come to your house last night?"

Too bad, it couldn't be the enemies of the strange pair of uncles and nephews last night.Jack quickly dismissed: "I don't know them. They wanted to buy beans and oats to feed the horses, and they left after less than an hour..."

The leading man interrupted him impatiently. "What did those two look like? How old? How tall? What did they do?"

Jack swallowed: "It's just a pair of uncles and nephews. The uncle is in his 30s and looks good-looking. The nephew is about fourteen or five years old. He is thin and very white. By the way, they have an abnormal relationship. That uncle is more handsome than me. high......"

The man interrupted him again: "Isn't it normal?"

Jack rubbed his hands, he was embarrassed to speak too bluntly. "That's right, that uncle liked that nephew and even kissed his hand."

The man showed disgust. He was a little skeptical before he got to the bottom of it. He didn't expect to hear such a thing, which completely dispelled his doubts.After Mr. Darcy stumbled into their trap by mistake that time, he checked Mr. Darcy specifically, and knew how upright and rigid he was, and there could never be Mr. Darcy among those two people.

The author has something to say: I'm sorry I'm late again_(:зゝ∠)_I thought I could write it in three hours, but it got stuck again. What I'm struggling with is that the male lead and the female lead can't hee according to the original idea, but After the turning point in this chapter, the two should be able to be together.
