Chapter 73 The Princess Who Was Cannon Fodder in the Danmei Novel 23
Margaret, who was dancing to the music, turned around and found that the two young people were no longer on the dance floor. She smiled slightly, thinking that good things were about to happen to their family.
During the break in the dance, Georgiana took Gerbert and quietly slipped away along the path on the left side of the banquet.
Leaving behind the loud music, the dazzling lights and the noisy crowd, the two smiled at each other while panting slightly.
Pushing the scattered hair on her forehead back, Georgiana felt the focused gaze of the young man beside her and smiled: "Look, Gerbert, I don't meet the strict requirements of the upper class for a lady."
"I just act like a proper lady when necessary."
Gerbert felt a sweetness in his heart as he helped the girl he liked to block the branches that might catch her skirt. He looked at Georgeanna beside him with soft eyes.
"Georgina, you are unique. I have never seen a lady go to a strange place alone to discuss business without the company of a male elder."
"Not even a scornful hand was offered to me and my friends."
"It is your independence, tenacity and kindness that have caught my eye. Your beautiful appearance is only one of your insignificant advantages. What really attracts me is your unique soul."
George Anna listened quietly to his confession in the cold moonlight.
"Before I met you, I even thought about devoting my entire life to the study of history. Because," he smiled bitterly, "the more knowledge I learn, the more I feel that my partner should not be an empty-headed person who only knows about balls and jewelry but has no independent thinking."
"But isn't it because you men treat women as subordinates and don't allow us to get involved in so-called 'men's affairs' that most women today lack independent thinking and sound personalities?" George Anna retorted with a frown.
"Yes, you are right. It is the long-term oppression of women by men that has led to the current situation." Gerbert nodded in agreement. He had felt that he was out of place since he was a child. He always felt that his mother and sister should not be the way they are now. They should...should be more...more like this. Gerbert also didn't know what kind of qualities a woman in his mind should have.
Until he met Georgeanna!
Yes, that’s what his ideal woman should be like: independent and self-reliant, not completely dependent on men, strong and calm, and not one who screams and faints over the slightest thing…
He seemed to see the silhouette of a new woman in the strange girl he met in Kenning Village.
That's why he was tormented and worried day and night, and why he tried every possible means to find out about the girl.
Because he didn't know if he could find a future partner who was so compatible with his soul if he really missed this girl.
Hearing him readily admit the fact, George Anna finally looked at him with some respect. Well, this man is not hypocritical.
Stopping the topic at the right time, George Anna talked with him about everything from poetry to the philosophy of life under the beautiful moonlight.
After the dance, Theodore looked at his younger brother's lustful look with a sour look on his face. Tsk tsk, it was really unbearable to watch.
Gerbert was awakened by the vibration of the carriage as it ran over stones on the road. Looking at his second brother who was resting with his eyes closed, he carefully pushed Theodore.
"What's the matter?" Theodore looked at his younger brother coldly.
"Brother!" Gerbert looked distressed, "Do you know how to ask a girl you like out? What should you do after you meet her?"
Overwhelmed by the boy's eyes full of expectation, Theodore continued to maintain his dignity as an elder brother. He stretched his legs in front of him and raised his eyebrows to signal, "Boy, give it a press."
Taking a deep breath, Gerbert pressed his legs in front of him with frustration, thinking that he still had to rely on his second brother's tricks to please the beauty.
Hmm~ Theodore leaned comfortably on the carriage. His younger brother was still as funny as ever.
"You wish to ask Miss Darcy out?"
Gerbert nodded repeatedly.
"Do you know that there is a romantic comedy coming up at the Grimm Theatre? You can invite Miss Darcy to watch a play or listen to a musical, and be a little more considerate of a gentleman during the process. Wouldn't that make the relationship closer?"
Yes, why didn't I think of that? Gerbert's eyes lit up when he got the answer, and he looked at his battle-hardened second brother with admiration.
On the other side, in the gorgeous carriage, Margaret drove her gloomy husband to the carriage at the back, and the conversation that was only for little girls was not masculine.
"How is it?" Margaret looked at her sister-in-law curiously, her face full of embarrassment.
"Sister-in-law, you know?" George Anna asked in surprise.
"Of course, you have to know the social connections of the person you choose for you." Margaret came up to the little girl, not shy at all.
"How is it, are you surprised?"
George Anna lowered her head and quickly blinked away the tears in her eyes, then raised her head and smiled happily: "So far, it's not bad. We still agree on some things."
Her brother and sister-in-law have been very concerned about her marriage. Gerbert is indeed a good person. If nothing unexpected happens, it should be nice to spend the rest of her life with him.
So, when they met on the third day, Gerbert was surprised to find that Georgiana, who seemed to be very far away from him, began to respond to his feelings.
Although it was only a little, it gave him great encouragement. It was a good start, wasn't it?
The days passed slowly as Margaret watched the two young people's youthful date.
In Longbourn, Viscountess House (Caroline Benley), who was trying her best to dissuade her silly brother from being so impulsive about marriage, suddenly received an invitation letter from her best friend's upcoming engagement. She was shocked and hurriedly packed up her brother who was blinded by love and took him back to London.
Benley pulled his head back and forced a smile to wish George and Anna a happy engagement.
Georgeanna politely thanked this familiar brother for the blessing and looked at Caroline who was following behind him with confusion.
The Viscountess shook her head gently. Based on her understanding of her brother, this droopy-headed and depressed big dog would return to normal in no more than half a month.
So Caroline smiled and walked up to her friend, hugged her, pulled her aside and curiously asked about her love life.
Benley, who was abandoned by his sister, felt even more lost, so when he saw his good friend coming down from the stairs, his eyes lit up and he excitedly gave Darcy a warm hug.
He is confused and in urgent need of help from his friends!
Margaret, who was left aside by the two, said: …
If Darcy hadn't been so loving to her at night, she would really have suspected that there was something going on between the two of them.
Holding Tini's hand, Margaret gracefully joined the girls' tea party.
