[Pride and Prejudice] A Gentleman's Love

After Mr. Bingley paid a return visit to Mr. Bennett’s home, Mrs. Bennett planned to send a post to invite him to dinner at home. Unfortunately, Mr. Bingley had to go to London to invite some of his relatives for the ball, so he didn’t have time.

Both Mrs. Bennet and Lydia were dismayed by the result, only Mr. Bennet and Elizabeth were happier.The former is purely a mischievous heart that likes to see his wife deflated, while Elizabeth feels a great appetite because the dinner of "selling her daughter" cannot be held.

It's just that this small setback obviously can't break Mrs. Bennet's ambition to marry her daughters to rich people. Her goal is to be held at the ball a week later, because Mr. Bingley will bring his Some relatives and friends attended.Yes, Mr. Bingley was also a rich bachelor, and bachelors always need a wife.

So, on the day of the prom, early in the morning, while Elizabeth and Jane were still asleep, they were dug out.

The girls all complained that it was too early, but they sat down on their stools and began to dress themselves, except for Mr. Bennett.

"I said ma'am, it's fine if the girls have to get up early to dress up. Why do I get up so early by a man!" muttered Mr. Bennet wearing a cotton nightcap with a The ball, made by Elizabeth herself.

"Good morning, Daddy, you look so cute," Elizabeth said with a smile, kissing her father on the cheek.

"Well, honey, I'm in a better mood now."

Mrs. Bennet glared at the father and daughter and told them to clean themselves up quickly.

"Yes, ma'am," drawled Mr. Bennet, and went to the stables to examine the carriage which they had for the day.Although Mr. Bennet looks a little unreliable and too careless on weekdays, he is actually a careful father.

Elisabeth looked away, and started working on her hair with a comb.

"Jane's hair is so beautiful!" Lydia exclaimed in an envious tone.

Elizabeth looked up too.Indeed, Jane's appearance was the most beautiful among the five, and her bright blond hair added a bit of extravagance to her.

Elizabeth felt a little sad when she saw her frizzy and tangled hair that always woke up overnight due to excess hair volume.What girl doesn't want to have beautiful hair?It's a pity that although her hair is also golden, compared with Jane's, it looks a lot rustic inexplicably.

God's heart is indeed biased.No, maybe just like the joke circulating on the Internet, God always poured out materials not so rigorously when creating man.Some have more, some have less, and some have none at all.

God is also an old man who likes to fool people. Maybe when the beaker fell on the ground when he was making himself, he just picked it up and put it in. Anyway, no one saw it, right?

Elizabeth amused herself at the guess, and continued to struggle with her hair.

"Mom, I want your pearl necklace." Lydia said coquettishly, holding her mother's arm. With big eyes, a small mouth, and a sweet voice, Mrs. Bennet could never refuse this little girl. Daughter, but this time she did not agree, everyone was a little surprised.

"Why? Mom." Lydia pouted a little unhappy.

"Because it's going to stay on Lizzy's neck today."

Mrs. Bennet took the pearl necklace from her jewel-box.

"But Mom, Lizzy doesn't want it." Lydia was still struggling.

"Be good, dear."

"Mom, I'm fine, I don't need to."

"You need it." Mrs. Bennet walked towards Elizabeth holding the necklace, and she said in a rambling manner.

"I asked you to choose the pink one, but you prefer the blue one. Mr. Bingley is a rich man. I have already asked, and his cousins ​​from London will also come. You are not beautiful enough, and if you don't Dress up well, no man will really look at you at this ball!"

Elizabeth listened to Mrs. Bennet's rambling words, and her eyes were already a little moist in the back.

ah!This is mother.she said in her heart.Then with a blink of an eye, Mother Ren hung the pearl necklace around her neck.

This is not the same as her original plan to avoid the limelight.But who can refuse it?

Elizabeth touched the necklace in front of the mirror, then looked back at her mother, and asked with a smile, "Does it look good? Mom."

"It's pretty, after all, it's my daughter!" Mrs. Bennet put her hands on her daughter's shoulders, always looking so proud and beaming.

A group of them arrived at the ball in a carriage.In the countryside, there will be a dance every once in a while, and the people here are proud of it. After all, not every village can hold such a successful dance.

The Bennets soon found Mr. Bingley at the ball.Of course, this kind of rich bachelor is in high demand, and it is always right to squeeze where there are crowds.

When Mrs. Bennet broke through with her daughters, Elizabeth was squeezed out.No way, her stature is really too small for a Caucasian.

Elizabeth looked at the crowd in front of her, thought about the possibility of breaking through with her weak body, and then simply gave up.Anyway, there is still a long time before the dance, and she can always meet the mysterious Mr. Bingley.

Now that she has been "lost" from her mother, Elizabeth decided to treat her stomach well.To her delight, the refreshments in the lounge were naturally neglected due to the popularity of Mr. Bingley.

Elizabeth was holding a small plate and a clip on the long white table.

one two three...

With the saucer already crowded, Elizabeth was ready to set down the tongs and take the tea to the corner table to enjoy.The lazy lady Elizabeth had planned to do so, but before she put down the clip, an annoying voice sounded again.

"Have you always eaten so much?"

Elizabeth turned to look at the owner of the voice.

Black curly hair, red long tail dress, those blue eyes are looking at her with a look that is definitely not admiration.

Elizabeth put down the folder in her hand, held her plate in her two small hands, and said with a smile: "What does that have to do with you, sir?"

"It's nothing to do with it." The man said slowly, and Elizabeth saw a small arc in the corner of the other's mouth, and the alarm bells rang in her heart. Sure enough, don't expect any good words from this guy's mouth.

"But eating so much didn't help you grow taller."

"I'm so sorry. I think you're so tall because your neighbor is probably called Mr. Giraffe."

"What's that?" the annoying gentleman asked subconsciously with a twitch of his eyebrows. Elizabeth blinked on purpose and moved closer to him. The latter blinked uncomfortably, but remained calm and did not back away. .

"Guess."

After leaving these words, Elizabeth took her plate and left, unaware that the latter was staring at her big braid that flicked and flicked.
