Wear it with the house, but I am a black household [Quick Transmigration]

Chapter 195 The World of Western Classics 9

A few days later

On a sunny morning, Bingley and his party came to Pemberley Manor. Apart from his sister Hurst and his sister Miss Bingley, there were several strangers.

After the introduction, Anxi got to know them one by one. Among them, the tall, upright, cheerful and smiling one was Colonel Fitzwilliam, Darcy's cousin.

The man with ordinary appearance but gentle and polite temperament is Mr. Edward, who was a classmate of Darcy and Bingley in college.The last man who was exceptionally handsome and personable was George Wickham.

When Anxi heard this name, she didn't react until they introduced that George was the godson of old Mr. Darcy, the child of the previous butler of the Darcy family.

Anxi immediately remembered, isn't this the bastard who abducted Miss Darcy in the book?The one who married the heroine's fifth sister in the end.

Anxi narrowed her eyes slightly, and looked at the cheerful Miss Darcy. She smiled shyly and happily at George Yorkham, obviously liking and relying on him very much.

Then look at Darcy, although he frowned at George's appearance, but he didn't react redundantly.

In contrast to the book, when Darcy saw George, his expression immediately became gloomy. In the current situation, it should be that something has not happened yet.

When exactly did that happen?

Anxi is thoughtful, Darcy treats him very well and spares no effort to help him, Darcy's sister is also a lovely little girl, no matter what, he doesn't want to see the brother and sister get hurt.

Looks like it's time to keep an eye on that George Wickham and stop him before he makes a move.

According to the book, it was George who colluded with Anna's tutor, Mrs. Younger, and wanted to abduct the little girl to elope.

However, according to Anxi's observation in Pemberley these days, Anna does not seem to have a tutor named Mrs. Young.

There are three tutors for Anna, one of them is Mrs. Carter, who is already in her fifties, her hair is gray, and she seems to be in poor health. She has been recuperating in her room.Anxi hadn't seen her much, and only had dinner together on the first night of her visit, and she hadn't seen her since then.

The housekeeper mentioned by chance that Mrs. Carter seems to be in charge of Anna's etiquette and rules, but now that Anna is so old, she has already learned the etiquette that she should learn, so she doesn't really need an etiquette teacher.

It's just that Mrs. Carter used to be Mrs. Darcy's tutor, and after Mrs. Darcy got married, she left to get married.

But she was unlucky, she married a bastard, she liked to drink and gamble, and she was violent at home.Mrs. Carter had two pregnancies, both of which were aborted because of his domestic violence. Since then, Mrs. Carter's health has not been good.

Later, that bad man died by accident, and Mrs. Carter had nowhere to go.Just Mrs. Darcy gave birth to a young daughter, so she hired her as a tutor.

Over the years, Mrs. Carter has been taking care of Anna with all her heart. Now that she is old and often sick, the Darcy family has not given up on her. Although they have hired another tutor, they have always supported her.

This one should not be, no matter before or after marriage, she has nothing to do with the surname Yang Ge.And with her love for Miss Darcy, she was not the type to do such a thing.

The other two were younger. Anxi only knew that one of them was named Green and the other was named Wood. Judging from their titles, they should be unmarried ladies.

That is to say, among the two tutors, one of them may marry Mr. Younger in the future, so he is called Mrs. Younger in the book.

As to who, it is unclear and more information is needed.

Anxi counted the time, Mr. Darcy was already 25 years old, and it should be only two or three years since he and Bingley appeared near the hostess' house.

In other words, within two to three years, there will definitely be abductions.

Darcy's father died four years ago. Before his death, he left a will and offered Wickham a priest's job, which Wickham exchanged for a large sum of money.

With this money, Wickham must have had a good life in the past few years.

Anxi looked at the clothes and decorations on Wickham's body. The clothes seemed to be made of good materials, but they were only about [-]% new. Compared with other men, they didn't look embarrassed with that handsome face. Instead, they looked radiant. .

Looking at the pocket watch he used to decorate it, although it was an expensive brand, but with Anxi's good eyesight, he still saw a crack on the surface glass.

If they are really rich, gentlemen will not take out such a pocket watch. Even if they like it, they will only keep it at home. After all, it is a matter of face.

Seeing how Wickham cleans himself up, we can tell that he is a person who cares about face.

So here comes the question, is Wickham really out of money? !

In other words, will the abduction incident occur within this year or two?

At dinner, the two tutors that Anxi paid attention to both appeared on the table, together with the tutor brought by Caroline Bentley.

Anxi observed their behavior and found nothing unusual.

Several women revolve around Anna's life in Pemberley, and they are all about topics between some girls.During this period, the two tutors did not pay special attention to George Wickham.

I don't know if the future 'Mrs. Younger' is trying to avoid suspicion, or if she really doesn't hook up with Wickham now.

"If the weather is fine, I will go to paint. Miss Green will accompany me. Her painting art is very superb." It may be that after spending an afternoon together, Anna let go of Caroline a little, and would take the initiative to introduce.

Miss Green sat on the side, smiling modestly, "Anna complimented me, I'm not as good as she said, but it was Anna who really amazed me, with superb painting skills and full of aura."

Miss Button also echoed, "That's right, although I'm a French teacher and don't have a deep understanding of the art of painting, I can tell that Miss Anna's painting skills are very good, especially the beautiful view of the manor. , is simply lifelike.”

Hearing what the two said, Caroline, who was eager to please, quickly praised, "Although I have never seen Miss Darcy's masterpieces, the paintings of a lady with a noble character like Miss Darcy must exceed the paintings of ordinary people. level. Just don't know if I'm lucky enough to appreciate it."

Anna blushed when she was told, "If you want, you can go to paint with me tomorrow morning. The landscape I drew is not yet finished, and I will show it to you when it is finished."

"That's great. I also like painting very much. I am worried that no one will be with me. Anna, my dear friend, you must call me tomorrow. I really can't wait." Caroline enthusiastically agreed, and I made an appointment with Anna to leave after breakfast.

The two chatted enthusiastically without ignoring the men.

Caroline turned to Darcy who was seated at the top, "Dear Mr. Darcy, I have made an appointment with your sister, Miss Anna, for tomorrow's trip. I wonder if it is convenient?"

Upon hearing this, Bentley immediately asked curiously, "Oh, Caroline, we just arrived today, don't you need to rest tomorrow? Are you going to have some elegant activities?"

"Charles, you think highly of us. Where is there any elegant event? We are just going to find a beautiful place to paint. By the way, I would like to ask if gentlemen are interested in this event." Miss Bingley interrupted her brother I was a little dissatisfied with the communication with Mr. Darcy, but since everyone was present, it was difficult to show it, so I replied patiently.

"You're being too modest, Caroline. If painting isn't high art, then what is? But you know me. I've never been interested in these things. I won't take part in them tomorrow." Mr. Bingley said nothing. Feeling his sister's unhappiness, she immediately refused after hearing it, and even brought her friend Darcy along.

"By the way, Darcy doesn't have time either. We have agreed to discuss about the textile factory in the West District tomorrow. Darcy has invested in this, so I have to learn from him."

Caroline resisted not to roll her eyes, but her expression was already very bad. Fortunately, Mrs. Hurst stopped her in time, so that she did not lose her temper.

In order to help her sister, Mrs. Hesto turned her eyes to a group of people, and finally threw the topic to Anxi, who was smiling and gentle, "Mr. Wilson, we all know that you have lived in the East for many years, and we have also seen Eastern landscape paintings, like The patterns on the porcelain sold in Mr. Darcy's shop are very beautiful. I don't know if you have mastered this elegant skill?"

Anxi raised his eyebrows, and replied casually, "I don't know if you are talking about freehand brushwork of landscapes or portraits of humanistic ladies. There are also many kinds of oriental painting arts. I really don't have the ability to master them all."

"Oh, of course, we definitely won't ask Mr. Wilson like that," Mrs. Hurst obviously choked on Anxi's words, but she immediately made up for it, "I just want to see this magical painting method. I don't know you Are you free tomorrow so that we can feast our eyes?"

"It doesn't have to be tomorrow. If you really want to watch it, you can do it after dinner." Anxi said lazily.

When Caroline heard this, she immediately seized the opportunity and extended an invitation to Darcy, "Dear Mr. Darcy, I heard that you have superb painting skills. Would it be an honor to see you painting with Mr. Wilson tonight?"

Colonel Fitzwilliam saw this scene, guessed something, and smiled narrowly at Darcy.

Mr. Darcy remained expressionless, as if nothing had happened, "I have some business to deal with tonight, you can appreciate Mr. Wilson's painting skills first, Miss Bingley. By the way, Anna, take care of the distinguished guests tomorrow."

Anna was entrusted with a heavy responsibility by her brother, she nodded seriously, and confirmed with Caroline one by one about the arrangements for tomorrow morning.

With such a serious attitude, Caroline couldn't find room to change the topic for a while, and couldn't talk to Darcy.

George Wickham glanced at Caroline, appraised the arrogance and philistinism in her eyes, and dropped the target.Return your attention to Anna.

He lowered his eyelids slightly, so that people could not see clearly the scrutiny and calculation in his eyes.
