Countess of Pride and Prejudice

I?Charlotte pointed herself, and Mr. Bennet nodded to Charlotte: "Yes, Charlotte, I never thought that you would be so brave after losing Mr. Collins."

Charlotte smiled at Mr. Bennet knowingly, Elizabeth took a deep breath and said to Mr. Bennet: "Okay, Dad, I understand what you mean."

No matter at any time, it is Elizabeth who should face everything that will happen without fear.Darcy, instead of waiting for others to solve the trouble for himself.Mr. Bennet looked at his daughter's smile and nodded with relief: "Then go, son, and do what you should do."

I will, father!Elizabeth hugged and kissed Mr. Bennet, and walked out with Mary, who had already changed.

"My Lizzy is indeed worthy of my pride. This pride is not because she married Darcy, but because she is a very brave girl." Mr. Bennet looked at Elizabeth's back, feeling a little emotional say.

Then Mr. Bennet said to Charlotte: "Charlotte, Sir William, I am also very proud of you." Charlotte smiled. Mr. Bennet never smiled on Charlotte's face. Seeing it, Mr. Bennet couldn't help frowning slightly, watching Charlotte walk out briskly, Mr. Bennet also smiled, children, really have grown up, and are no longer children.

The garden party was almost over when the Bennets arrived, so their arrival did not cause much response. As for Mary, who was pushed out to participate in the entertainment, such entertainment was far worse than reading a book quietly in the study. make her happy.

Therefore, at dinner, Mrs. Bennet couldn't help complaining: "Mary, you are not young this year, you should think carefully about getting married like this, otherwise when your father and I go to heaven, you will just have to go to heaven." To be able to live alone."

Mary had already heard a lot of such words, and she turned a deaf ear as usual.Mrs. Catherine, who was sitting above, frowned very tightly, she put down her knife and fork and said coldly: "Yes, a girl with little property can only marry early. Of course, for Mrs. Bennet, marrying a daughter It's a handy thing, otherwise, you wouldn't be sitting here now."

"Yes, Lady Catherine, you are right. It is God's blessing that my Elizabeth married Mr. Darcy, but I believe that you, Lady Catherine, will have the same luck."

"Miss de Bourgh, you don't need to marry off so quickly." Mrs. Bennet's words undoubtedly hit Mrs. Catherine's back.

Elizabeth and Darcy looked at each other helplessly. Mrs. Bennet and Mrs. Catherine could do crazy things in the presence of either of them, but now that these two people are present at the same time, it is really extraordinary. The dog jumps.

Seeing that Mrs. Catherine was about to talk about de.How is the Baoer family different? Mr. Darcy said: "Auntie, can you guide Georgiana to play the piano after dinner?"

And Elizabeth also smiled and said to Mrs. Bennet: "Mom, you came from Jane, do you think little Elizabeth is cute?"

"Of course she is lovely. She is the most beautiful child I have ever seen." Mrs. Bennet turned to Miss Bingley: "I think she looks very similar to Jane. What do you think?"

Miss Bingley really didn't want to socialize with Mrs. Bennet, but now that she mentioned her niece, Miss Bingley had to try her best to say: "Yes, little Elizabeth is very beautiful."

"Of course, it's all because I made Jane look so good." Mrs. Bennet was never short of topics.Elizabeth looked at Lady Catherine, who was discussing music with Georgiana, and could not help but smile at Darcy, who were really sympathetic to their ill-bred relatives.

The rest of the meal was spent listening to Mrs. Bennet mentioning the beauty of little Elizabeth and Mrs. Catherine tirelessly instructing Georgiana how to practice playing the piano.

After dinner, everyone's ears were not idle, and Mrs. Catherine, who was talking, asked everyone to go to the living room to listen to Georgiana playing the piano, to prove that Mrs. Catherine's guidance was very good.

Even Mr. Wilson couldn't help showing a trace of impatience when he met a man who was in a hurry.However, if you object to Mrs. Catherine's proposal, it will hurt your ears even more, so everyone still went to the living room, waiting for Georgiana's performance.

"It seems that I have messed things up again, my dear." After sitting down, Mr. Darcy spoke softly to Elizabeth.Elizabeth shook her head: "No, that's because Lady Catherine is different from others."

And it was very different. Mr. Darcy looked at the piano, and Mrs. Catherine had already opened the piano score and asked Georgiana to play the piano according to her wishes.

Georgiana likes to play the piano and sing very much, but only if she is not under the compulsion of others.Even though Georgiana had a gentle personality, she was a little disturbed by her aunt's words, and she lost the tone when she pressed the first key.

"Look, Georgiana, this is the result of your lack of practice." Lady Catherine will not let Georgiana go out of tune.

Georgiana said sorry, and began to play again.This time there was no out of tune, Madam Catherine nodded her head and said to the crowd: "You must know that playing the piano requires more practice."

"Mom, I've heard enough, I think, let's start playing cards." After the song ended, Miss Anne frowned and proposed to play cards.

So soon the card-table was set up, and Lady Catherine at last went to sit at it.Now that there was no Lady Catherine pointing around, Georgiana breathed a sigh of relief, and began to play her usual favorite tune.

At the end of the song, Georgiana heard applause and saw that it was Philip who was applauding. Georgiana asked in surprise, "Mr. Rochester, why don't you go play cards with them?"

"Such a beautiful piano sound should be appreciated by someone." Philip's words were a very ordinary compliment, but Georgiana's face suddenly turned red, and she turned over the score with her hand: "Compared to many famous players, I didn't play well."

"There is no need to underestimate yourself, Miss Darcy. There is emotion in your music." This remark made Georgiana more joyful, and she said with a smile: "Then, in order to thank you for this remark, I will play a tune for you." , which one do you prefer?"

"This one." Philip quickly found a piece of music on the score, and Georgiana smiled: "I like this one too." Saying so, Georgiana pressed the keys and played happily.

Mrs. Bennet never forgets to talk while playing cards. She looked in the direction of Georgiana and Philip, and said to Elizabeth mysteriously: "Lizzy, when will Miss Darcy get married?"

"Mom, even though we are already relatives, it's still too rude to say that." Elizabeth's dissatisfaction did not stop Mrs. Bennet, she curled her lips: "But I see Miss Darcy and that gentleman, Rochester Sir, it was a pleasant conversation. If a gentleman has no affection for a lady, how can he talk to her about music there?"

Elizabeth put down the cards in her hand and looked at the direction of the sound of the piano. Georgiana was immersed in playing. As for Philip, his eyes did not fall on Georgiana, but seemed to look into the distance.So Elizabeth said very firmly: "Mom, don't talk nonsense. If such words are spread, Mr. Darcy will be unhappy."

Well, Mrs. Bennet was still afraid of her son-in-law, so she kept her mouth shut.But their conversation has been heard by Lady Catherine at the next table, and she looked at Darcy with some dissatisfaction: "Darcy, I remember you said that Georgiana is not too old to marry so eagerly, but now ,totally different."

"Auntie, you know that Mrs. Bennet is used to thinking about things." Mr. Darcy's words did not make Mrs. Catherine dissatisfied, but even more dissatisfied. Look, Georgiana smiled at Mr. Rochester, a little You are not reserved, how can a lady laugh like that?Also, Mr. Rochester too, why is he so gentle on his face?Doesn't he know that this will cause misunderstanding?

"Mom, you need to play your cards." Miss Anne didn't care what Madam Catherine was thinking, and after waiting for a long time before Madam Catherine played her cards, Miss Anne called her mother.

Mrs. Catherine closed her eyes on Georgiana, and said to Mr. Darcy after playing the cards: "People are becoming more and more double-faced these days. At Rosings, someone told me that, I never thought about getting married, but now, when I see a beautiful girl, I surround myself with it."

Lady Catherine's voice was loud enough for everyone in the room to hear. Even Mary, who was sitting on the sofa reading a book, looked up in surprise, wondering who had offended Lady Catherine again.

Philip frowned and said to Georgiana soothingly: "I'm sorry, Miss Darcy, I just thought that your piano sound is very beautiful. I didn't expect to offend Lady Catherine."

Georgiana's hand slid across the keys unconsciously, and when she heard the jingling sound of the keys, Georgiana seemed to be startled by the sound, and hurriedly withdrew her fingers and said, "No, Mr. Rochester, you don't need to apologize. "

After saying this, Georgiana didn't know what to say, so she stood up and said sorry to everyone present, and then went out.

"Look, Elizabeth, I'm right, Miss Darcy is shy."
