[Pride and Prejudice] First impressions

The first ball held in Netherfield Gardens ended in an atmosphere of joy between the guests and the host. Everyone was beaming, and after bidding farewell to the humble and enthusiastic host one by one, they left contentedly.

It is obvious that Mr. Bingley attaches great importance to the Bennet family. He personally sent the mother and daughter to the carriage of Bei House. This behavior is eye-catching and makes Mrs. Bennet feel more honorable.After returning home, seeing that the eldest daughter seemed to be doing well, she was completely relieved, and vividly described the prom in front of Jane, and repeatedly emphasized Mr. Bingley's concern for her: "Dear daughter, I assure you, the whole prom, he It's just that the hostess invited several ladies to a dance separately! I counted them all. He also promised that when you are in good health next time, there will be another ball. Even Mrs. Reed They all say that this is all because of your glory..."

It can be seen that the more Mrs. Bennet is so self-satisfied, the more embarrassed Jane looks. Then Elizabeth interjected, saying that Jane needs to rest, and asked Mrs. Bennet to go back to her room early to rest. Mrs. Bennet immediately put Attention shifted to the head of the second daughter, and scolded: "Lizzie, there is already a good young man around Jane, but you are still so unprogressive! I expected you to take this opportunity to get along well with Mr. Bingley's sister, Maybe we can rely on them to meet more good young people in the future! Those who associate with them are naturally rich people. Of course, except for that annoying Mr. Darcy. You are better, you may not know where to hide all night Lazy, or standing in a corner with Charlotte and muttering, how many times I've given you the wink you haven't seen! Look at your two sisters! How lively they are! Even Mr. Bingley said they were cute Woolen cloth!"

Elizabeth sent her away with a smile on her face. After closing the door, she said to the uneasy Jane: "Forget about this afternoon, Jane, I have sincerely apologized to Mr. Darcy and obtained his understanding. He said Understood and assured me that he would never interfere with any of his friend's decisions."

Her words did not make Jane happy, and her expression was still a little sad.

"Lizzie, I'm fine. The embarrassment will pass after a few days. Mr. Bingley is very kind. Even if I don't have the afternoon, I don't really expect such good luck to happen to me. I'm just sorry for you. What will Mr. Darcy think of you in the future? Only I know, you never say those things. You just care too much about me and want to be good for me!"

Elizabeth laughed.

"Jane, it's really kind of you to think of me at a time like this. But you think too much. Mr. Darcy promised me that I would forget about the afternoon. In fact, even if he has a bad impression of me, it will affect me. It doesn't matter to me. We have nothing to do with Mr. Darcy. Bridges return to bridges, and roads lead to roads. I don't want any of his benefits, so what do you care about his opinion? Besides, do you really think what I said to you? Doesn't make any sense?"

Hearing what she said, Jane suddenly felt that it made sense.It's just that my heart is still a little confused.

"Lizzie, to be honest, why do I feel that you are a little different from before? Although you were originally lively, you always give me a different feeling now..."

"More annoying than ever, isn't it?"

Elizabeth answered jokingly.

Jane shook her head hastily.

"Jane, I'm serious, starting tomorrow, I may be even more annoying." Elizabeth said suddenly.

Jane looked at her blankly.

"I used to think that my mother's obedience to Lydia would make her more and more free-wheeling, not caring about anything, and doing things without thinking about the consequences. In fact, over the years, we have seen You must have seen the result of this kind of indulgence, right?"

Jane sighed, "But even Dad doesn't care, so what can we do?"

"Dad has to take care of it. He probably doesn't want to go to Gretna Green to arrest people!" (Note: Gretna Green is a small town on the Scottish border, accepting elopement men and women to go there to get married.)

"How could this happen to our family! It's terrible!"

Jane immediately denied it.

"So from now on, we must change, Jane, this is also for your own sake. We five sisters are one, regardless of you and me. No matter which one makes something bad, outsiders will only mention it. Daughter of the Bennet family, no one can think about it!" Elizabeth said, "I decided to talk to my father, but before I get his consent, I need your support very much-so that if my mother feels sorry for Lydia When you scold me, I can hide behind you to avoid her anger!" Elizabeth joked.

Jane looked at her in astonishment, and after a moment's silence, said: "Lizzie, we have discussed similar matters countless times before--the whole of Longborn, no, Meryton, behind their backs, is saying that our family has no family style. I don’t care about my dad—speaking of it, if I really want to discipline my younger sister, it should be me, the elder sister, who is the leader. Now that you are willing to be the leader, I know you are smarter and more capable than me. That’s great, I will definitely support you!"

"Then it's settled!" Elizabeth said cheerfully, "I'll go find my father right away."

----

Elizabeth found her father in the study. After a long talk, she came out and returned to her room, lying on the bed, feeling a little up and down.

After adapting to the new identity now, it's time to make a plan for the future.

The life of the second Miss Bennett family described by Ms. Austin has been very different.

If, in the first few days when she came here, she had fantasized about embracing Darcy, the big benefactor, according to the original routine, she has completely given up on this idea now—starting from the small river in the afternoon, the story It developed in a new direction, and when he threatened him with the secret he least wanted to be known at the ball tonight, he completely cut off the back road of clinging to the benefactor.

It's a pity.After all, this was originally the smoothest path of life that could be foreseen.

She remembered a document she had seen before about studying how rich Darcy was. Around 1800, which is now, the per capita income in the UK was 22 pounds. Now, before industrial capitalists have become the main gathering of social wealth, an annual income of [-] pounds is enough to rank among the top [-] richest people in the UK. up.

Goodbye, local tyrant——Elizabeth lay on the bed, and began to silently bite the horns of her quilt—after the bite, how to live, or how to live.Lost in the east, harvested in Sangyu, besides, here she has such a big family with unique relatives waiting for her to have a headache!
