[Pride and Prejudice] A Gentleman's Love

"Are all the ladies in this small town like this? Take off their shoes and socks in public?"

This voice was full of arrogance and accusation. Although the tone was a bit charming, Elizabeth still felt uncomfortable with the stranger's haughty tone.

She looked up and saw a young man in a navy blue uniform riding a black horse, and Elizabeth recognized the face almost without recalling it.Isn't this Mr. Impatient who suddenly rode out on the street?

Elizabeth got up and put down her skirt to cover her calves. Although she was barefoot, she was not as embarrassed or ashamed as the girls of this era. Instead, she raised her chin and looked at the gentlemen.

"Sir, if you are a gentleman, you shouldn't disturb a lady with such impolite glances and inappropriate words. Besides, I don't think I took off my shoes and socks 'in public', but," Elizabeth paused, glanced at the ducks in the lake, and then smiled charmingly at the gentleman in front of her.

"If you're with them, it's really public."

"Quack - quack -" the ducks in the lake yelled happily while wandering.

The black-haired man narrowed his eyes slightly, and just when Elizabeth thought he would get angry, the man raised his eyebrows and asked himself in a voice that was close to mocking.

"Miss, do you think that bare calves in front of a man is what a lady should do?"

Elizabeth was choked, but she was not ashamed, but raised the corners of her mouth slightly. Those who are familiar with her will understand that she has started to be serious at this moment.

"In the country of silk, there is a saying that has been passed down for a long time, which is called 'Say no evil and do not see evil'. This is what a gentleman calls, that is, the behavior of a gentleman. On the contrary, it is the behavior of a villain. From this, I can completely conclude that you Not a gentleman."

Elizabeth spoke quickly, without giving the black-haired young man any chance to refute.

"As for me," she paused and smiled, "I never thought of myself as a lady, man, self-knowledge is a very important thing."

After Elizabeth finished speaking, she was generous and could even be said to perform a skirt ceremony gracefully, even though she was now barefoot.Then the little girl took the shoes and left without waiting for the Mr. Disgusting to say anything.It's just that when she walked halfway, she realized that her book had been forgotten by the lake.

When Elizabeth returned to the lake, the book had disappeared, only the ducks in the lake were screaming happily.

Elizabeth glanced at the lake, suspecting that the duck thieves had mutilated her book.The poor little girl could only go home resentfully, and scolded that annoying Mr. again in her heart, because that book did not belong to her.It gave her a headache to think that she might have to explain it to the standoffish gentleman.

As soon as Elizabeth returned home, she was overwhelmed by chattering discussions.

"Jane, did you see it just now? That Mr. Bingley is so handsome!" Lydia said cheerfully, crossing her small hands on her chest, with the expression of a girl in love.

"Although this is a bit cruel, but dear Lydia, we just took a look at the window from a distance, and didn't even see the gentleman's front." The third daughter of the Bennet family, who loves books, The research girl Mary Bennett poured cold water on Lydia with a serious tone, but the latter didn't care at all and was still immersed in dreams.

"Haven't you all seen it? That coat that is worth a lot of money at first glance, and that black horse, how energetic!"

"It's because he's rich!" Catherine said decisively.

"Oh dear, it's nice to be rich, just think about it. If we all married a rich man, we'd have endless beautiful clothes to wear every day! I could have several bedrooms by myself, and I No more cramming with you and Mary!"

Catherine was moved by Lydia's words, not only because of the beautiful clothes, but more importantly, her own room, which was so attractive to Catherine who had no independent space since she was a child, so the two sisters The two sat on the sofa and started talking excitedly.

After hearing Lydia's superficial words, Mary just curled her lips, adjusted her glasses and went back into the pile of books.

"Yes, it's really good to be rich." Elizabeth nodded in agreement.Jane looked at her sister in surprise.

"Jane, what's the matter?" Elizabeth asked.

Jane shook her head, then smiled, and said, "It's nothing, just, I thought you would say something else."

Elizabeth rolled her eyes, and then said happily: "Why not? Jane. Money is indeed a good thing, you can buy a lot of it, it's very convenient, but..." Elizabeth drew the tone again, blinking her green eyes , "If you have to give up something very valuable for money, the loss outweighs the gain."

"You're quite right, dear."

"Dad." Jane called out.Mr. Bennet, who came in from the door, was looking at his second daughter with some relief, and then rolled his eyes at his younger daughter.

"It would be a fool to give up everything for money. I really hope my two daughters don't become such silly girls."

Elizabeth giggled, and Mr. Bennet's remarks obviously angered Mrs. Bennet behind.

She put the fruit in her hand heavily on the coffee table, then put her hands on her hips, staring at her husband with a pair of eyes on her chubby face.

"Who is a silly girl? I said, Mr. Bennet, aren't you anxious about the marriage of your five daughters?"

"Dear wife, why worry about this? When girls grow up, God will arrange their own partners for them. They will meet and get married naturally. What are you anxious about?" Banai said. Mr. T spread his hands and shrugged his shoulders.

Mrs. Bennet snorted and moved forward, almost poking her pointed nose into her husband's chin.Of course, if she was taller, she might be able to do it.

"I said, Mr. Bennet, have you forgotten that we have five daughters, but no son, and our daughters will not be able to take any of your property, and they don't even have a dowry!"

"Oh! Dowry, if that's what you care about," Mr. Bennet paused for a moment, then leaned closer to his wife's ear, and said in a low voice with a smile.

"You can have another one."

"Oh! My God! You old bastard!" Mrs. Bennet was furious, blushing and began to fire at her husband like a machine gun, while their daughter was already used to this kind of scene, except Everyone other than Elizabeth was discussing topics of interest to them with great interest.

Rich people have the expensive way of life of rich people, and people without money have their own happy life.

live!Elizabeth sighed, and burst into a "puchi" laugh because she saw Mrs. Bennet grab the soft flesh on Mr. Bennet's waist.
