Countess of Pride and Prejudice

Seeing Charlotte's brisk figure, Earl Max didn't catch up. In time, she will know that she is not what she sees, of course, she is also like this.

Earl Max bent down and picked a small wild flower, smelling the fragrance of the flower and going to the other side.

Charlotte returned to the building and found Little William in the place where the children were playing. Little William and the children had a good time and didn't pay attention to Charlotte's arrival.Seeing Charlotte approaching, the maid next to her hurriedly said: "Mrs. Collins, Mrs. told me that no matter where the children go, we will watch them. Today's guests must have a good time."

Charlotte thanked the maid and left the children's play area without disturbing little William.

Most of the guests were playing outside, and the building was very quiet. Charlotte walked through the corridor with the portrait of Mr. Darcy's ancestors hanging, and when she was about to go upstairs, she saw Mrs. Catherine coming out of a room.

This was the last person Charlotte wanted to meet, but it was too late to pretend to be out of sight, and Charlotte stopped to ask Lady Catherine.

Lady Catherine looked at Charlotte with indescribable eyes before asking, "Where did you see Georgiana go? I asked her to take care of Anne, but Anne is resting in the room now."

"Mrs. Catherine, Georgiana is still a young girl. She can accompany Miss Anne, but she can't be with her all day." Charlotte's words made Lady Catherine very dissatisfied: "Are you teaching me? Mrs. Collins, so you are so ungrateful people."

Charlotte let out a long breath. It was a crime for the old lady to disobey her, especially in these years.Charlotte shook her head: "I'm not teaching you, Lady Catherine, but you know, Miss Georgiana..."

"Don't say any more, Mrs. Collins, anyway, you have changed, you have become less gentle and considerate, and you don't understand my feelings so well. I am really glad that Mr. Collins passed away so early, otherwise, he would know that you have become like this now , I don’t know how sad it is.”

If Lady Catherine's idea was to convey Mr. Collins' grief to Charlotte, it was the wrong idea.Charlotte was silent for a while before saying: "I'm sorry, Madam Catherine, I just want to say that Georgiana also has her own things to do. There are so many servants here, and it is not necessary for Georgiana to accompany Miss Anne to make Miss Anne look special. respected.”

"Sure enough, you have a new benefactor, and you start to forget the benefits of the old benefactor. Mrs. Collins, I didn't expect you to be like this." Mrs. Catherine was already furious, and Charlotte lowered her eyes: "Sorry, Mrs. Catherine, whatever you want What do you think, but my words are not because of Mr. Darcy's wealth, but because Elizabeth is my good friend."

"Good friends?" Madam Catherine sneered again: "No wonder Elizabeth is so ignorant. You are all the same. I really regret that I treated you so kindly when Mr. Collins was here. It's really..."

"I'm sorry, Madam Catherine, so you are here. Sir Bess is leaving, and I want to see you before leaving." Elizabeth's voice sounded, Madam Catherine did not immediately turn to talk to Elizabeth, but looked at Xia Lu proudly Dee: "Then, I will tell Darcy about your performance and let him know that you are such an ungrateful person. By the way, there is also Earl Max."

After finishing speaking, Madam Catherine left arrogantly.Elizabeth looked at Madam Catherine's back and shook her head, and then said to Charlotte: "Honey, in fact, you can just do what you want."

"Lizzy, of course I know that would be better, but now I don't want to be the same." Charlotte's words made Elizabeth silent for a while, and then Elizabeth hugged Charlotte with open arms: "I understand, Charlotte Lotte, but you must believe that my husband will not listen to his aunt."

"How can someone who can marry Lizzy be someone who can't tell right from wrong?" Elizabeth laughed again at Charlotte's words, and then Elizabeth was called away again. Charlotte looked at Elizabeth's back and passed. After a long time, I went upstairs and sat down on a rocking chair on the balcony.

At this moment, the courtyard is full of laughter and joy, and the sun shines on people, which should have felt very warm.Charlotte leaned her head against the railing of the balcony.Can't go back without going back, completely accept this identity, then, is a widow's life all there is?

No, Miss Margaret has never been in love, and she has a lot of time to spend in her youth.Charlotte looked at the familiar faces in the courtyard, Caroline, Georgiana, and Miss Bingley, all with bright smiles on their faces.

Perhaps, falling in love is a good choice, but who should I find in love?

Looking at the places where the gentlemen gathered, they could see Philip talking to Earl Max and Mr. Wilson.Mr. Wilson looked very personable among these crowds. Thinking of what Earl Max said just now, Charlotte couldn't help raising her eyebrows. I don't know why this Mr. Wilson left England so eagerly.

A carriage came not far away, and soon arrived in front of the building, which made everyone playing in the courtyard look at the carriage.The carriages had been opened, and the Bennets and Mary got out.

This time, it became even more lively. Charlotte looked at Mrs. Bennet, and Mrs. Bennet still greeted everyone around with the same enthusiasm as before, no matter whether she knew her or not.

Miss Bingley had seen Mrs. Bennet, and a very obvious distaste flashed across her face, a relative whom Miss Bingley wished never to see, though now a relation.

Charlotte withdrew her eyes, peeping for a while was all right, but too long was bad.At this moment, Charlotte saw Earl Max looking in her direction and smiled.Did he see himself?Charlotte felt her heart start beating wildly a couple of times, and then immediately collected herself, and when she saw it, she saw it, and who cares?

"Mom and Dad, why didn't you say hello to me in advance when you came to Pemberley? Also, Mom, aren't you here with Jane?" Elizabeth saw her parents and sister coming, although she was very happy, happy and surprised I really don't know how to distinguish which point is more emotional.

"Lizzy, I originally said that I would stay with Jane there. But your mother said that Mary is not young anymore and it's time to find a suitable husband for her, so she brought me along." Ban Mr. Nut knew that his wife would not be at ease without marrying off this last daughter, and it was better for her nerves to submit.

"Hello, Miss Bingley, nice to see you." Regardless of whether Miss Bingley would like to greet herself, Mrs. Bennet greeted Miss Bingley enthusiastically, and then said to Elizabeth: "Your father has been reluctant to come, but I think you have a garden party here today, and there must be a lot of young people here, so it would be good to let Mary out for a walk."

Speaking of which, Mrs. Bennet went to push Mary: "Now, dear, you hurry up and change your clothes, and then go down to play with the young people." Elizabeth patted her forehead with her hand, and looked at the unwilling expression on Mary's face. , winking at her desperately, Mary thought about it, and went upstairs under the leadership of the maid.

"Mom, I know you are very anxious, but..." Elizabeth asked Mr. Bennet to rest first, then took Mrs. Bennet to another cabin, and decided to tell her mother that such an approach was really So rude.

But Mrs. Bennet would not give her daughter this chance: "My dear, Mary is 26 years old. Catherine of the Lucas family has already been proposed to, but Mary has been immersed in the pile of books. Lizzy, I know that this will make her happy." It makes Mr. Darcy a little unhappy, but you have obtained happiness, how can you prevent your sister from obtaining happiness?"

Catherine from the Lucas family proposed marriage?This was great news, and no wonder Mrs. Bennet was so anxious.Elizabeth took a deep breath before saying, "Mom, I understand how you feel, but Mary is different now. She already has a generous dowry. It will be very, very good. Mother, why do you want her to marry?"

"You are the same as your father." Mrs. Bennet was very dissatisfied, and Elizabeth was about to continue persuading her mother.Mr. Bennet's voice sounded just outside the door: "Lizzy, may I come in?"

sure.Elizabeth stepped forward to open the door, and Mr. Bennet looked at his wife and said to Elizabeth: "Lizzy, I advise you to save your energy, your mother won't listen to this. But I can assure you, I will let you Mom doesn't make a fool of herself in front of everyone."

"Mr. Bennet, how can you say that about your wife?" Mrs. Bennet was of course dissatisfied, but Mr. Bennet ignored her and just said to Elizabeth: "Let your mother go to rest, she can't go on the road." Tired, and as for Mary, I think she'll be better than she was."

If so, Elizabeth called the maid and asked her to take Mrs. Bennet down to rest.Mr. Bennet looked at his daughter like this, and reached out to pat her on the shoulder: "My Lizzy has never been a person who is afraid of difficulties, has she?"

Elizabeth smiled at her father, and Mr. Bennet looked at Charlotte who was going downstairs and said, "Charlotte is so brave, Lizzy, what do you have to worry about?"
