[Pride and Prejudice] A Gentleman's Love

The dance went on until the evening.When the Bennets came home, as soon as they reached the hall, Mrs. Bennet could not take her time to begin to say that she and the ladies had seen a number of nice fellows.

Lydia and Catherine were chatting aside, they were really happy.Those officers in red uniforms were young and handsome, especially Mr. Danny.Lydia always said that there would be no one more beautiful than him, but her somewhat blind subduing plot was easily overturned by herself soon after.Of course, that was still a week away, and Mrs. Bennet had more important things to do at the moment.

"Mom, what do you want me to do?" Elizabeth looked at her eager mother with some amusement.

Mrs. Bennet gently closed the bedroom door, then sat on the small stool, looking at her second daughter seriously.

"I say my dear, what do you think of that Mr. Darcy?"

"On the contrary?" Elizabeth smiled lowly, "Mom, what can I think?"

"Don't put me off, I see, that Mr. Darcy invited you to the first dance, and he invited no one else."

"Oh, Mom, why do you all insist on it so much? And the person didn't even say anything."

"My little baby, what can you say to me?" Mrs. Bennet lowered her face.

"Mom, it's not that I didn't say anything on purpose, but because I really have no idea." Elizabeth felt helpless.

Mrs. Bennet didn't know whether it was a sigh of relief or what, in short, she was a little rambling.

"Actually, I don't really approve of that Mr. Darcy. Although he is very rich, we can't just go for his money. He is a bit too arrogant, which is not good. You have to find a man." Like your father, and so is Mr Bingley. That's not the type to bully women."

Hearing Mrs. Bennet's conclusion, Elizabeth couldn't help defending the gentleman a little.

"Mr. Darcy didn't bully women either."

"Oh, dear, you have to fight me, don't you?" Mrs. Bennet glared at her.Elizabeth blinked.

"I've been listening to you all the time, Mom. You made me wear pink and I didn't say anything."

"Don't play tricks on me, dear."

"I won't, mother," Elizabeth said with a smile.

Mrs. Bennet rolled her eyes, deciding not to argue with her daughter on the subject.After a while, she was in high spirits again.

"I think Mr. Bingley's cousins ​​are good. Although they are not as rich as him, they are still good candidates. They are much better than that William Collins."

Mrs. Bennet snorted as she spoke of Mr. Collins, as if she hadn't been the one who paid off the compliment last time.And Elizabeth knew that it was purely because after Mr. Collins left, Mrs. Bennet would inevitably continue to be angry with Mr. Collins after thinking about the things in the house that might become that person's.Of course, this is also mixed with dissatisfaction with Collins, who actually looks down on his daughter.The fat and flattering bad guy.

"But Mom, it's not up to us to decide." Elizabeth pointed out that she hoped her mother would give up this idea, but obviously, Mrs. Bennet's determination to marry her daughter was so strong.

"As long as you can cooperate with me, my dear, this is not a problem. You must know that Mr. Bingley has a fancy for Jane, and those officers are also fascinated by my daughter. You will not be too bad."

Elizabeth smiled and listened.She doesn't really follow her mother's ideas, but it doesn't seem to make sense to directly refute her.

Mrs. Bennet talked for another half an hour before leaving, because Mr. Bennet said he could not find his pipe.

"How do I know where your pipe is? My lord!" Mrs. Bennet almost jumped up, looking a little angry, but still hurried to solve the problem for her husband.

Jane went into the room after her mother left, and saw her sister sitting on the bed.

"What did mother tell you?"

Elizabeth looked at each other the same way, and said with a smile, "What else can there be, Jane."

Jane smiled, "Did she fall in love with someone else?"

"Yes." Elizabeth took a pillow and hugged her in her arms, she blinked her eyes.

"Are you happy, Jane."

Jane froze for a moment, with a shy blush on her face, but she still nodded.

Elizabeth laughed. "As long as you're happy, Jane. You can always get things done."

Jane didn't quite understand what Elizabeth was talking about, but she knew that the other party loved her as much as she loved her.

"I want you to be happy too, Lizzy."

"I will, Jane."

Elizabeth promised.She has already promised someone.No matter what happens, I will live well and be happy.

A week after the dance.On this day, Lydia suggested that they could go to their aunt's house for a walk.All five sisters thought it was a good proposal, and even Mary, who was not always willing to participate in these social activities, agreed.

"It's good to go out for a walk, so that more people can see you." Mrs. Bennet said naggingly, and Mr. Bennet beside him rolled his eyes, and then read his books and newspapers again.

The girls put on their hats, and with some cookies Mrs. Bennet had prepared, they set off for their aunt's.

Along the way, Lydia and Catherine couldn't help but keep their eyes on those high-end fashions, and Jane took care of everyone so that no one would be left behind.Elizabeth and Mary are exchanging ideas about a book.They're not always speculative, but today's topic is not bad.

"Look, who is that?" Catherine cried out in a low voice, and everyone looked over, only to see that one of them was wearing a military uniform, Mr. Danny they were familiar with, and beside him stood an extremely beautiful man Woolen cloth.He is tall and slender, and his eyes always seem to have a kind smile!

"Oh, he's so pretty." Lydia whispered, her face flushed.

"Indeed, I agree with you, but maybe he's good for nothing but his face." Mary commented, and Lydia spat at her.

"Okay, stop it, girls, they're coming!" Catherine smiled like her mother, and Lydia and Mary pinched the soft flesh on her arm at the same time.

"Hi, ladies!" Mr. Danny said in a loud voice, and the girls all responded reservedly.

"Forgive me for being curious, Mr. Danny, who is this gentleman next to you? We have never met before." Lydia asked with a smile.

"Oh, this is my good friend, Mr. Wickham, who is serving in the regiment now."

The eyes of Lydia and Catherine were a little sparkling, and they were almost completely glued to the young Mr. Wickham.Jane coughed lowly, then patted the little hands of the two younger sisters.

"Where are you going now?" Jane asked.

"Just looking for a place to have a good chat. How about you?" Mr. Danny replied.

"We're going to my aunt's."

"Then we won't bother you." Mr. Danny and Mr. Wickham said goodbye, Lydia's neck was almost sticking out, her eyes were as blurred as the kind of girl who fell in love, but everyone We all know that her sweet girlish love always explodes every few months, so no one cares.

When they arrived at their aunt's house, Mrs. Philip warmly welcomed her nieces, especially Jane.She really loves her.So pretty and gentle, and she's about to marry a rich man.

"Listen, girls, we've got a handsome gentleman here lately!" said Mrs Philips, while the girls were enjoying their tea.

Catherine picked up a scone and asked, "Is it Mr. Danny's friend, Mr. Wickham?"

"Oh! dear, have you met them yet?"

"I just saw it at the door." Catherine replied.

"He's handsome, isn't he?" Mrs Philip blinked, and the girls giggled.

"If I were younger than a teenager, I wouldn't let such a good man go."

"Yes, you are right, aunt." Lydia seemed to have found someone who agreed, and Mrs. Philip was joking with her niece like a girl.

They had a very pleasant day with their aunt, until in the evening Jane asked Elizabeth.

"What do you think of that Mr. Wickham?"

Elizabeth raised her eyes from the book, thought for a while and said, "Young and handsome, what's rare is that he doesn't show off, and he talks very generously. He is a nice person."

"It sounds like you have a good impression of him." Jane said with a smile.

Elizabeth laughed, "Have you decided to be the same as your mother?"

The other party gave her a coquettish look. "I'm thinking of you."

"I've only seen it once. To tell you the truth, perhaps it would be better for you to tell Lydia and Kitty. They're both madly admiring young officers, and Mr. Wickham fits the bill. But there's only one Mr. Wickham." , and they are two people." Elizabeth said casually.

"I really don't understand you sometimes, dear Lizzy."

Upon hearing this, Elizabeth raised her head and looked at the other party.Jane put down her hands and sat on the edge of the bed.

"You are obviously younger than me, but you are not interested in these things at all. You used to be not very interested, but you always looked at them carefully, but now, you don't care at all."

"It can only be said that I have something I like to do more." Elizabeth patted the book and smiled.

Jane shook her head, "Don't lie to me, dear. Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't say it, just don't forget that we all love you."

Elizabeth was stunned, then smiled without any falsehood.

"I know, Jane, and I love you too, every one of you."
