[Pride and Prejudice] Another Spring of "Scumbags"

Since Wickham left, Lydia's life has completely calmed down.Now, the whole of Longbourne is busy preparing for the wedding of Darcy and Elizabeth, and even Mrs. Bennett, who is unwilling to give up and tries to change her husband's mind several times, is encouraged by Mrs. Gardner, and is full of passion. Into the preparation of my daughter's wedding.

No doubt, this made Lydia a big sigh of relief.

As Mrs. Bennett's favorite daughter, she is held in her arms like a baby by her mother almost every day, sobbing and complaining "how cruel and cruel Mr. Bennett is." "...Frankly speaking, such Mrs. Bennet really gave Lydia a headache.

Fortunately, Mrs. Gardner rescued poor Lydia, whose ears and heart were devastated!

This afternoon, Lydia was taking some female workers invited by the family to make some handicrafts necessary for the newlyweds.Lydia is flexible in her hands and feet, and she learned a lot of new tricks from Mrs. Tran and the others in her previous life. Jane, who was keenly aware of her sister's unique vision, quickly entrusted Lydia with the task of drawing patterns and matching colors—it happened that Lidia Dia is also very boring at home, so the two hit it off, and soon Lydia took care of this series of things.

After today's work was done, Lydia gave a copy of her newly drawn patterns to the newly hired female worker at home, and she sorted out a copy and went to Jane to ask her if there was anything she needed to improve.

The housemaid told Lydia Jane was now in the back grove.

Lydia naturally looked for it.

But he didn't expect that when she arrived, she saw Jane wiping her tears with a handkerchief in a disconsolate manner.

Seeing this scene, Lydia's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly realized what she had neglected these days. She couldn't help but feel a little anxious, but it was not good to rush in at this time to make Jane even more sad, so she walked lightly Backed out, went straight upstairs and knocked on Elizabeth's door.

Because Elizabeth is going to be a bride soon, both Mrs. Bennett and Mrs. Gardner are willing to let her stay in her room to take good care of herself—to become the most beautiful in Longbourn by then. bride.

Therefore, after getting Elizabeth's permission to enter the door, Lydia saw Elizabeth humming a Scottish tune happily picking up the jewelry in front of the dressing table and putting them on herself one by one.

"Oh, Lydia, you're just here, how about showing me? Does this necklace match my skin tone?" Elizabeth picked up an emerald necklace and hung her hands behind her deep and slender neck. In the middle of the collarbone.

"Very beautiful, and very suitable for you." Lydia, who knew that this necklace was given to Elizabeth by Mr. Darcy, said without hesitation, and then saw a happy smile on Elizabeth's face.

"I think it's good too. Mr. Darcy's vision is great, right?" Elizabeth said in a proud tone.

Lydia also agreed with a smile on her face.

Elizabeth happily tried a few necklaces specially sent by Mr. Darcy, and then asked Lydia, "What can you do for me?" As the smartest daughter of the Bennett family, how could Elizabeth not see it? Lydia hesitated to speak.

Lydia hesitated, "Just now I sent the pattern I drew to Jane, and wanted her to give me some advice, but I didn't want to see her crying in the grove outside, Lizzie...Jane It looks sad."

Hearing this, the smile on Elizabeth's face disappeared.

She unconsciously rubbed the ruby ​​necklace on her neck a few times, and said in silence for a moment: "My good sister, thank you for reminding me of this, otherwise... I'm afraid I've made a big mistake." She murmured Talking to himself, while talking, he took out the paper and quill pen, dipped it in ink and began to write.

"Lizzie?" Lydia looked at her behavior pretending to be puzzled.

"My dear Lydia, when I have finished writing this letter, please take it to Netherfield yourself. I have something urgent to see Mr. Darcy—this letter concerns Jane's life happiness, and I cannot send it to you. Give it to someone else." Elizabeth pursed her lips that were white at some point, and said with a bit of annoyance.

Lydia naturally agreed, but she didn't forget to pretend she didn't know anything and asked Elizabeth what was going on.

Elizabeth did not hide her sister about this, but said in a very frank tone: "All this is my negligence, I should not forget that my sister is still suffering when I fall into the honeypot. torment."

"... Lizzie?!" Lydia put on a frightened look.

"It's a long story," Elizabeth succinctly said that Mr. Darcy and Mr. Bingley's sister brought Mr. Bingley to London and deliberately prevented Mr. Bingley from meeting Jane. "I was very angry at the time. , but Mr. Darcy's words are not unreasonable, Jane is indeed too reserved, and cannot make Mr. Bingley have confidence in her—"

Lydia looked at Elizabeth in surprise, lamenting the magic of love. You must know that there was no sand in Elizabeth's eyes in the past, but now she took the initiative to excuse Mr. Darcy - which shows how much she loves him.

"However, this is not the reason for Mr. Darcy to break up Jane and Mr. Bingley. Lydia, I think Jane and Mr. Bingley are a match made in heaven. What do you think?" Elizabeth, who had written and folded the letter quickly, asked Lidia. Dia.

Lydia naturally nodded in agreement.

"Mr. Darcy will reply to my letter soon. By then, I want Jane to be as happy as me." Elizabeth said in a firm tone, and handed the letter to her sister.

And Lydia did not live up to her request, and rode to Netherfield in person that day.

That night, Mr. Darcy's letter, who was also busy with the wedding, was brought back to Longbourne by Lydia herself.

Elizabeth couldn't wait to open the letter and read it, and the contents inside were obviously very satisfactory to her—Mr. Darcy apologized to Jane, and said that he had sent the letter to Mr. Bingley, and Mr. Bingley still loved her unchanged. Miss Bennet, who had been trying to persuade her sisters to come back to Longbourne, pressed the paper to her heart, murmured a few words to God bless, and hurried off to the next bedroom.

Lydia, who was sure that the matter had been resolved, was silently relieved when she saw Jane, who seemed to be glowing the next day.

In a week or so Mr. Bingley returned to Longbourne from London.

He was warmly welcomed by Mrs. Bennett—as long as anyone was willing to marry her daughter, Mrs. Bennett had a mind big enough to cover the sea.She tolerantly forgave Mr. Bingley for leaving without saying goodbye, and happily accepted his sincere apology, and thoughtfully left the living room space for the two of them.

Lydia, who went out with Mrs. Bennet, turned her head to close the door, and heard Mr. Bingley inside almost impatiently asking the eldest daughter of the Bennet family whose cheeks were shy and flushed: "Dear Bennet Miss Te, I heard that your mother has always wanted to spread a story of double happiness, I think we can do this, may I ask...will you marry me and become my wife?"

Lydia, who heard this sentence, let out a long breath, with a bright smile on her face.

At this moment, Mrs. Bennett and Mrs. Gardner, who also walked not much faster than the tortoise, hugged each other tightly. Their faces were as bright as the sun.

On the second day when the news of Bingley and Jane's marriage was confirmed, Mr. Gardner, who had finally settled everything, rushed to Longbourne with the dowry he gave to his two nieces.

Two grand weddings are also about to enter the countdown.

Half a month later, the eldest daughter and the second daughter of the Bennett family were both married. They rode in an open four-wheeled carriage, and with the blessings of their relatives and friends, they went on their honeymoon with their husband who was about to spend a lifetime together along two completely different roads. .At the same time, the Gardners, who stayed at the Bennett's house for several months, also bid farewell and returned to London amidst the divorce of the Bennett family.

The end of the two weddings and the departure of relatives and friends made the entire Bennett Mansion quite empty, but time is the best medicine to dissolve people's longing. Soon, the Bennett Mansion regained its old life. .

Mrs. Bennett, who has married two daughters and is married very well, walks like a breeze. No one in the neighborhood of Meryton does not know her. Everyone admires her and compliments her——Benet Mrs. Nate was very pleased with herself.

However, these envy and compliments did not mean that she gave up her ambition to marry all her daughters!The figures of Jane and Elizabeth seem to flash in the Bennet's house from time to time, and Mrs. Bennet is already planning to drive the remaining three daughters out of the house.

Regrettably, Jane and Elizabeth's marriage seemed to have exhausted all her luck—until the eldest daughter and second daughter gave birth to their sons one after another, her three daughters still stayed at home like unsalable goods.By this time Mrs. Bennet would be beating her chest over the two-year engagement her husband had made with Wickham—worried that the boiled duck would really be gone forever.

In this way, Lydia, another party involved, suffered a great crime. She seemed to have returned to the time when Elizabeth and Jane were about to get married. Mrs. Bennet would moan and sigh almost every day, and put the "hard-hearted" Bennet Mr. Te scolded a bloody head.

Until Mr. Bennett and Lydia, the troubled father and daughter, had cocoons in their ears-the whole person became numb.

Maybe God can't bear to watch Mrs. Bennett go on tormenting herself like this—of course, there is no lack of Mrs. Bennett's sincere prayers every time she goes to church to let my daughters get married as soon as possible—go Miss Catherine Bennett, a guest at Pemberley Manor, met her future partner at a ball.

Lydia was not surprised to learn that the gentleman who was said to be in love with Kitty was named Churchill!

At the same time, Mrs. Bennett's replaying of old tunes finally had a new meaning. She began to be busy with her fourth daughter and compiled "Churchill Churchill Churchill..." into a catchy ditty, as long as she thought that she was about to marry The fourth daughter of the family will happily dance with a passionate dance while hugging a pillow or holding an embroidery shed.Nay, she became pleasant again to Mr. Bennet.

Mr. Bennett, who has been tormented by his wife's menopause for more than a year, almost ran to the village church to thank God!

Of course, Lydia felt the same way as him.

Two months later, the Bennett family, who were already familiar with everything about the wedding, married Kitty in a graceful manner.

When Kitty was about to board the four-wheeled carriage specially borrowed from Netherfield, Kitty, who had been with Lydia for more than a year, took the initiative to hold Lydia's hand , "If you have the right person, marry them as soon as possible—don't wait any longer."

Although her tone was somewhat unpleasant, the concern inside was still evident.

Kitty became pregnant shortly after she got married, and she wrote to ask for Mrs. Bennet's help. Mr. Churchill's family background is really beyond praise, and the servants in the family are just enough, in order to be able to give birth safely. Children, the new Mrs. Churchill can only seek help from her own mother with the cheek.

And Mrs. Bennet was also willing to help her. After packing up her luggage and handing over all the household chores to Lydia and Mary, she took her luggage and got in the car to take care of her daughter in a hurry.

On the evening of Mrs. Bennet's departure, Mr. Bennet sent a message through Mrs. Hill asking Lydia to come upstairs to his study.

Lydia walked in with some confusion and bewilderment.

As soon as she entered, Mr. Bennet cut straight to the point, "Mr. Wickham has never stopped writing to you for more than a year." He took out a thick stack of stationery from a drawer, "However, these letters It ended without warning in the first ten days of this month—in order to prevent your mother from worrying too much, I can only keep silent. Now, I can no longer hide this matter, Lydia, my daughter, tell Me, what are your plans for the future?"
