I am aging gracefully in the world of famous books

With Fitzwilliam Darcy's wealth and status today, there was never a shortage of women who courted him.

At a party he attended before leaving London, an exquisite and charming Mrs. Flor sent him a veiled invitation, euphemistically expressing her willingness to be his lover.

After Darcy refused, other rich children soon came over and became the wife's new love.

The black-haired Mrs. Flor seemed to be trying to win back face, or to make Darcy feel regretful. She suddenly became active at the banquet.

Of course, Darcy knew that after the party, the rich children who had benefited from resources would not be stingy with money, and would definitely send some rare gifts to their new lovers.

Darcy has always been indifferent to this kind of delicate transactional relationship on social occasions. He turned away with his glass of wine in his hand, indifferent to the flirting and provocation behind him.

A few older men on the side watched the silent "competition" and showed joking expressions.

Baron Alan shook his head helplessly: "Ms. Flor is still so stupid, she hasn't figured it out yet, our Mr. Darcy is not a young man looking for a way to be promoted like a young man who cares about her connections. "

Councilor Wilkinson stroked his well-groomed mustache and said with a smile:

"As long as Mrs. Flor maintains her beauty and figure, no one will care about her stupidity and ignorance. You see, although those gentlemen looked helpless, didn't they still agree to her 'little' request? "

Darcy shook his wine glass, with a cold expression, and refused to comment on the conversation.

"Darcy, Darcy, don't be so boring, come and talk to us, what kind of woman can catch your eyes?"

Baron Alan shook his head and elongated his voice. While looking at the tall and handsome young Patriarch, he asked curiously:

"I heard that you have never expressed favor to any lady."

Darcy replied succinctly: "I need to choose carefully."

"Of course marriage needs to be chosen carefully, but Darcy, outside of marriage, we can do whatever we want."

Darcy raised his eyebrows: "I pay more attention to commitment, and so far I haven't found any woman worthy of my fascination and thought."

"Promise? Well, the young man's thoughts." Baron Alan sighed in a low voice, with a meaningful tone.

The middle-aged gentleman beside him answered humorously: "Because he has never experienced the torture of an unhappy marriage."

This witty remark aroused the laughter and approval of several married men. The marriages of most of the people present were well-matched marriages, which were the matching results calculated and measured by asset status and blood titles, and few were married because of love.

Speaking out, they are both model couples. In private, they know how well they are.

Drunk MP Marlborough held his wine glass in high spirits, and motioned Darcy to look at a corner not far away.

"Look there, Mr. Darcy, see that fair-haired beauty? That's a very understanding woman, and I like to be with her now.

As for Mrs. Marlborough, well, she's probably in some young artist's cabin in the Lake District right now, feeling romantic. "

Mr. Congressman put on the attitude of someone who has experienced it, and talked about his life experience with eloquence:

"I chose Jennifer and brought her to our party, not only because of her beauty, but also because of her ability to read words.

Recently, I am preparing a bill, and I really want to know some gentlemen's suggestions and opinions in advance, as well as the real tendency, haha, but it is inconvenient to ask in a big way.

My lover immediately noticed my distress, and the next day, she organized a small art salon for me, hahaha, after one night, my troubles were resolved.

You see, Mr. Darcy, beautiful and intelligent lovers are not just for pleasure, they are knowledgeable, courteous, and terrific. "

Mr. Marlborough must have drunk too much, and when he was happy, he confided some truths to Darcy, even revealed his wife's secret love affair and his recent preparation of the bill.

The middle-aged gentleman on the side caught the drunken words of the congressman, he laughed, and immediately continued the routine calmly:

"Mr. Marlborough, are you showing off your Miss Jennifer Gray again? It's really enviable that such a beautiful and charming stunner belongs to you."

The complimented Mr. Congressman smiled even more proudly. He patted Darcy's arm with pride, and asserted that he would understand the beauty of this sooner or later.

Darcy moved two steps to the side, giving space to the gentleman who wanted to inquire about the news, and took advantage of the opportunity to avoid the drunkard's noise in his ears.

He put down the wine glass in his hand, and casually looked at the direction where Miss Jennifer Gray was standing. At first, he just glanced over it, but the familiar golden color caught Darcy's attention.

——This kind of delicate and charming golden hair is very rare, and it is almost exactly the same color as Mrs. Lucy's.

Darcy's expression changed slightly, and he turned his head to look carefully for a while.

The light was a little dazzling, and the distance was a little far away, making it difficult for him to see Jennifer Gray's real facial features.

However, judging from the outline of her face, she was still very similar to Mrs. Lucy, except that the mistress of Mr. Marlborough was a little plump, and her standing posture was not as elegant and natural as Mrs. Lucy.

With a comparison in his heart, the man withdrew his deep gaze, his expression was still cold and calm, his brows were deep and proud, but a new huge doubt rose in his heart.

——Similar beautiful blond hair, similar facial features, it can be seen that two people are related by blood, but, how can Mrs. Lucy have a relative who is a mistress?

—Jennifer Gray?

Darcy recited the other party's name silently in his mind, and suddenly remembered that he had heard of this name outside of London recently.

—By the way, isn't Jennifer Gray the sister of that Doris Gray?So in this way, doesn't it mean that Mrs. Lucy and Doris Gray also have some kind of kinship relationship?

Fitzwilliam Darcy walked away from the crowd, found a dark green velvet sofa and sat down slowly, with a solemn face and brows, concentrating on recalling the past intersections between him and Mrs. Lucy.

He found that the lady had never indicated that she knew Doris Gray.Does she know that there is such a relative?Or to avoid the shadow of Lord Essex's death?

Darcy always felt that he had overlooked something, but the fog was so heavy that he couldn't find a specific direction.

Probably because Pei Xiang's previous lies were too successful, and she was too familiar with the relationship between Wickham and the Darcy family. Therefore, the fact that "Mrs. Lucy" was Wickham's elopement lover was not easy for Darcy. left a deep-rooted impression.

Coupled with the fact that she pretended to be pregnant, Fitzwilliam Darcy subconsciously separated the soon-to-be mother Mrs. Lucy from the girl Doris Gray, and did not associate them at all. into the same person.

Therefore, even after Darcy noticed Jennifer Gray at a party and found that she was very similar to Pei Xiang, he did not guide his thinking to the right place, but turned a corner outside the gate of the truth Son, headed in another wrong direction.

——I remember, they said that the Gray sisters were all born as illegitimate daughters, and their father was from a noble family. Of course, "Gray" is not the man's surname, but from the woman's side.

——In other words, it is entirely possible that Mrs. Lucy has a relationship with the Gray sisters. Of course, as a legitimate daughter, Mrs. Lucy really does not need to know about the romantic debts of the male elders of the family outside.

——She may never know that she has such relatives in her whole life.

At this time, Fitzwilliam Darcy subconsciously ignored another possibility, that is, the Gray sisters did not inherit their looks from their father's family, but inherited the appearance advantages of their beautiful mother.

If he thinks deeply about this possibility, he will find that there are many flaws in Mrs. Lucy's identity, which cannot stand serious scrutiny.

However, perhaps due to subconscious self-evasion and self-protection, Darcy, who has always been prudent and rational, has completely failed his thinking brain and judgment that he has always been proud of. After that, he was no longer willing to overthrow the guess in his heart.

As the party drew to a close, Darcy went to say goodbye to the initiator of the party, and Jennifer Gray happened to be standing beside the organizer. This time, Darcy finally saw the facial features of the mistress of Councilor Marlborough.

When Jennifer Gray's charming and delicate face was fully presented under the light, Darcy let out a deep breath slowly in his heart.

He didn't realize that his back had become wet at some point, as if he had been greatly frightened at a certain moment.

The current relief is like a false alarm.

——Sure enough, I was thinking too much. Looking closely under the light, Jennifer Gray and Mrs. Lucy are not so similar. The distance before was a bit far, so I had the illusion. Also, how can there be so many in the world? coincide.

Darcy sneered inwardly, laughing at his restlessness and inexplicable suspicion.

Probably because Fitzwilliam Darcy's gaze was really strange, Jennifer Gray turned her face uncomfortably, and then looked over suspiciously.

Her two actions just gave Darcy another chance to observe and compare carefully.

He found that the faces and hair colors of the two were very similar, with full foreheads and straight noses. However, Mrs. Lucy had a small mole on the side of the bridge of her nose, which made her clearly different from Miss Gray in front of her. .

What's more, Mrs. Lucy's eyebrows are a little thick and straight, and the curvature is not so obvious. The twists and turns at the peak of the eyebrows give people a very soft feeling, hiding a kind of silent gentleness and oriental elegance, and Miss Jennifer Gray. The delicate and thin eyebrows are completely different.

In addition, Mrs. Lucy's eyes are narrower and longer, and the corners of the eyes are slightly drooping. When looking at people, she looks very innocent, a bit like a newborn puppy, wet, pitiful and innocent. This is another person different from Jennifer Gray. place.

Because Jennifer Gray's eyes are big and enchanting, there is always a seductive coquettish attitude when looking at Liuhui.

It is said that eyebrows and eyes are the most eye-catching places on a person's face. The comparison of these two pairs of eyes with obviously different shapes and expressions completely dispelled Darcy's doubts. The thrilling familiarity just now was gone.

Finally, Darcy's eyes swept over Jennifer Gray's full red lips, and he frowned subconsciously, thinking that another soft and fresh light pink would look better, preferably with a little bit on the bead of the lips. The slightly deeper marks give people the urge to touch lightly.

With the answer in his heart, Darcy turned his face away without any trace, thinking that no wonder some prodigal son said that beauties are all alike. Jennifer Gray and Mrs. Lucy obviously look different, but when people look at them coldly, Gives people the same feeling.

——Probably, they all have the perfect gift from God...

——It's just that the soul under the mortal body is the most precious, and Mrs. Lucy's temperament and appearance are far better than this Miss Gray.

When Jennifer Gray looked at Darcy, she happened to meet Darcy's cold and disgusted eyes. She was a little dazed for a moment, thinking when did she offend this arrogant nobleman?

However, this indifferent and proud gentleman did not give Jennifer Gray a chance to inquire. After a slight farewell ceremony, he turned and left the brightly lit hall, and disappeared at the end of the road in a four-horse carriage.

Jennifer Gray twitched the corner of her mouth cryptically, and immediately forgot about this little episode.What she is most concerned about now is when she can sleep and fly with her sweetheart. As for other people, other things are not important anymore.

Fitzwilliam Darcy left London on the second day after attending the party. About a month later, Pei Xiang also moved out of Darcy's private house and began to live alone in a small rented apartment.

After getting her own room, the first thing she did was to remove the burden wrapped around her stomach, and the second thing she did was to wash her face and remove makeup.

After knowing that there is another Jennifer Gray in London, Pei Xiang never showed her real beauty in front of outsiders.

The messy heavy makeup she puts on every day when she goes out is explained to Mrs. Miller and others because she is afraid that acquaintances will recognize her identity after elopement.In fact, even after removing that layer of heavy makeup, Pei Xiang didn't show her true colors to others, so she had to keep some cards for herself.

After some careful rubbing, Pei Xiang finally felt refreshed.

——Wow, the feeling of pores breathing freely is really comfortable. If I don’t move out, the skin on my face will be ruined. Sometimes, I even feel that the mole painted on the bridge of my nose is going to come true. , It's scary to get used to it naturally!

——It takes a long time to paint eyebrows and eyes, and I dare not remove makeup easily. At this time, the makeup tools and types of makeup are too simple, and they are not comparable to the world before I traveled. Well, I miss the magical face-changing very much surgery.

——Sincere thanks to the beauty bloggers in another world for their technology sharing~

The blond girl raised her head slightly, and crystal clear drops of water slid down her cheeks, revealing the original appearance of Doris Gray.

Delicate and slender eyebrows, slightly raised peach eyes, delicate and flawless skin, full lips, this unadorned and charming face is not much different from Jennifer Gray!

If Darcy appeared opposite Pei Xiang at this time, he would probably not be able to find any excuses to escape. Apart from sisters with the same father and mother, where else is there such a similar young girl in this world?
