Miss Elizabeth Goldfinger Bennet

Chapter 14

When Jane received the letter from Netherfield the next day, and her face turned pale after reading it, Elizabeth intuitively knew that something big must have happened.Elizabeth pulled Jane aside to inquire, and Jane handed the letter to her. Elizabeth opened the letter, and inside it was a small, delicate, ironed and smooth letter paper, written in the graceful and fluent handwriting of a young lady.

The point of the whole letter is that they decided to leave for Hertfordshire and return to London, and they had no plan to come back, and Miss Bingley also mentioned Miss Darcy on purpose, revealing the intimacy between Mr. Bingley and her intentionally or unintentionally.

Elizabeth was almost pissed off after reading this letter. Bingley is such a Bingley. You must know that Jane had clearly expressed her affection for Mr. Bingley under Elizabeth's reminder, but they were in front of everyone. When they thought that the two of them would be good things, they left without saying goodbye. Where did they put Jane and where did they put themselves? Are they playing with the Bennett family? Elizabeth has written down this account. It must be repaid tenfold.

Seeing Jane's smiling face, Elizabeth hated the Bingleys even more.But now the most important thing is Jane.

"Jane, your feelings for Mr. Bingley..."

"Lizzie, you don't need to say anything, I know you and Dad have always thought that I was too kind and worried about me, but I am the eldest daughter of this family and I know my responsibility, Lizzie, I am very grateful to you for helping me all these years I fulfill my elder sister's duties. But I see now that perhaps Mr. Bingley is not for me."

"Jane, although I didn't like Mr. Bingley at the beginning, but after getting along with him, I found that his admiration for you was very obvious, so I think you can return the same feelings, but now their behavior is simply the same as that of us. Have fun, Jane, and you will find a gentleman a hundred times better than Bingley."

"Lizzie, you can't force your relationship. Although Mr. Bingley is very nice, we may not be destined for each other, and there is a big difference between me and him."

"Jane, what are you talking about, how beautiful and gentle you are, Mr. Bingley is not good enough for you, and Jane, I haven't told you about our family's situation these years, you know I have liked business since I was a child, I don’t know if it’s because God gave me this talent. My father and I have been investing very smoothly these years. You know that our family’s income is not far behind that of the Bingley’s, and the dowry my father gave us can also It's about £5000, so you don't have to feel inferior to the Bingleys, Jane. You'll always be our beautiful eldest daughter of the Bennets."

"Lizzie, is what you said true?" Although Jane was confident in her appearance, her meager dowry always made her unable to hold her head up in front of the Bingley sisters.Although there is still a gap between £5000 and Miss Bingley's £10000, at least it gave Jane some confidence.

Looking at Jane like this, Elizabeth knew that she hadn't completely given up on Bingley, but Elizabeth didn't say anything, how could she speak clearly about her feelings all at once.But the lesson of the Bingley family must be taught, otherwise they will think that we are easy to bully.

Elizabeth thought of this and planned to go to London in the near future. The candy company that had just started did not know what happened. Although the company often sent messages, Elizabeth still had to go there in person.

Elizabeth was sitting with her mother and sisters when Sir William Lucas arrived.He was entrusted by his daughter to come to Ban's house to announce her engagement.As he narrated the incident, he complimented the ladies for a while, saying that he was really honored that the two families could get married.Elizabeth and Jane congratulated on this politely. When they learned that their wedding would be held in Hansford, Kent, Elizabeth gave Sir Lucas the wedding gift she had prepared for Charlotte. Elizabeth knew Charlotte I probably won't visit the Bennet House again in the future, because my mother didn't hide her dissatisfaction with Charlotte's 'robbing' Collins. If Elizabeth hadn't asked Mr. Bennet to threaten her not to talk nonsense, I'm afraid Lu Sir Cass would be pissed off.

Elizabeth's gift to her friend was a pair of gold bracelets.It was shipped from the east, and although it cannot be said to be priceless, it is worth thousands of pounds.

Mrs. Bennet's discontent was unleashed as soon as Sir Lucas returned.First, she firmly disbelieved it; second, she concluded that Mr. Collins had been deceived; third, she believed that the couple would never be happy; and fourth, that the marriage might be broken.But she also drew two conclusions from it-one is that the joke was all caused by Elizabeth; the other is that she herself has been bullied and abused by everyone; Mostly these two points.No one can comfort her fragile nerves, but she is the only one in the entire Bennet family who expresses dissatisfaction with Elizabeth not marrying Collins, while the others express their anticipation. For Mr. Bennet, this matter On the contrary, it made him feel more free and easy. According to him, everything he experienced this time made him extremely comfortable mentally.He thought Charlotte Lucas was quite sensible, but he didn't know that she was as stupid as his wife. Elizabeth didn't agree, which only proved that she was smarter than Charlotte.Jane gave her sincere blessings on the marriage, knowing very well that Collins was not a good match for Elizabeth.Anyone can see Elizabeth's dislike for Collins.Catherine and Lydia don't envy Miss Lucas at all, because Mr. Collins is just a missionary; they have always been in awe of their second sister, and for some reason, Elizabeth has become more strict with them recently, making Catherine Neither Li nor Lydia dared to be as unscrupulous as before, after all, their pocket money was still in Elizabeth's hands.My second sister has always said one thing at home, even her father would not refute her face.Andrew's attitude towards his sister is the clearest, and Collins is just a cloud.

Speaking of both sides, Sir Lucas took Elizabeth's gift home and gave it to his eldest daughter.

"My dear, although I have not received much welcome at Bennet Hall, it amazes me that Mrs. Bennet, despite her face, does not say some embarrassing things like she used to. You know what I mean. "

"Father, did you know that Elizabeth has always been the master of the Bennet family. Her attitude towards this marriage is the attitude of the Bennet family towards this marriage."

"Won't Miss Elizabeth be unhappy, you know after all Collins..."

"Oh, don't talk about it, Dad. You don't know Elizabeth's personality. Mr. Collins is nothing in her eyes. Don't talk about it. Let me see what she gave me." Charlotte said happily Unwrapping the gift and going, "Oh my god, this is so pretty!"

"What's the matter? Oh, this is the Charlotte that Elizabeth gave you?" Mrs. Lucas immediately stepped forward when she heard her daughter's voice.

"Yes, Mom! This is unbelievable, this is so precious."

"Honey, this kind of jewelry should come from the East. The workmanship is so delicate and beautiful. It's hard to buy such jewelry in London!" Mrs. Lucas gently touched a gold-studded ruby ​​double dragon play bead Bracelet sighed.No woman can not love jewelry, especially such beautiful jewelry.

Sir Lucas was also very surprised. This gift is really too expensive. You must know that the Bennett family has always been not so rich.In fact, what he didn't know was that Elizabeth also wanted to take these things out, but once it came to the situation of the Bennett family, everyone in Longborn knew that taking out too many good things at once would cause a lot of unnecessary trouble .Secondly, the rest of the family didn't know about Elizabeth's situation, coupled with the personalities of Mrs. Bennet and others, needless to say Elizabeth knew that it was good for everyone to conceal.

"Honey, do you know how Elizabeth herself is capable of giving such expensive gifts?"

"Dad, I don't know, but what I'm going to say is that I've always known that Lizzie is not a simple person, you know I've been friends with her for a long time but I still can't say I know her perfectly. But anyway , she is my friend, if she gave me this gift, it means that she cares about me, so we just need to get along with her as before, maybe we will ask her in the future." I have to say that Xia Lotte is such a clever girl.
