Chapter 15

Although the departure of the owner of Netherfield hastily made the nearby people feel strange, all kinds of social activities in the countryside continued, but there were still rumors, especially the interaction between Jane and Mr. Bingley. Coupled with Mrs. Bennet's high-profile declarations from time to time, other people think that there is something between the two.Now that Mr. Bingley is leaving without saying goodbye, those wives and ladies who used to be envious and jealous will certainly not have any good things to say.Not to mention the client Jane, even Elizabeth looked at the sympathy of a group of women and comforted Jane, and her stomach hurts. The gloating in your eyes is too obvious, ladies and gentlemen.

Although Jane is kind, she is not stupid, after all, she is also the housekeeper of Bennett House.But Jane knew that if she didn't participate in these activities, the rumors outside would be even worse.What she can do is to let outsiders see that she is not sad because Bingley left.Not only that, but she also comforted Mrs. Bennet, who was particularly irritable because of hearing the rumors.Take care of the family more carefully, manage housework, and seem to be eager to grow into a qualified elder sister.

Elizabeth sees everything about Jane clearly, and has to lament that love is a bitter medicine that can make people grow up quickly.Elizabeth was very happy with Jane's behavior, because Jane did not give up on herself for the emotional injury, but stood up very strong.What Elizabeth dislikes the most is a person who has lost her love and made a fuss.

Although Elizabeth is very happy with the change of her eldest sister, it doesn't mean that she can forget Bingley's teasing.Elizabeth was thinking about how to vent her anger to Jane, well, stingy women are not easy to mess with!

It was a surprise that my uncle and aunt Gardner, who were far away in London, came to visit unexpectedly on a Monday afternoon and planned to spend Christmas with the Bennett family.The relationship between Elizabeth and Gardner is the best among sisters, because she goes to London several times a year, and each time she goes to her uncle's house as an excuse. Elizabeth met a "friend" Miss Wood in London, and everyone knows it matter.In London, Elizabeth is mostly taken care of by the Gardners.

For the Gardners, Elizabeth, the niece, is also their favorite. Unlike her sisters, Elizabeth is beautiful and independent.Mr. Gardner has always been amazed that his unreliable sister can give birth to a daughter like Elizabeth.In addition, Mr. Gardner saw that the youngest son of the Bennet family grew up very well under Elizabeth's teaching, which made him hope that Elizabeth could interact more with his children.

Elizabeth has always been very generous to those she loves. Mr. Gardner is a reasonable and gentlemanly person. He is much higher than his sister in terms of personality and education.Elizabeth felt more than once that Mrs. Bennet was a genetic mutant of the Gardner family.Mr. Gardner was originally a lawyer, but lawyers are not a respectable profession at this time, and there are many children in the Gardner family, and the consumption level in London is not low, so the family lives So-so.But in recent years, under Elizabeth's intentional or unintentional reminders and suggestions, he has made some good investments like Mr. Bennett, which has also improved the economic conditions of the Gardner family.Mr. Gardner is entirely under the economic savvy of his niece.

Mrs. Gardner is several years younger than Mrs. Bennet and Mrs. Phillips. She is also a kind, intelligent, and elegant woman. She is sincerely kind to her husband and children. I have to say that she and Gardner Mr. Bennett was much better off than Bennett and Philip.Elizabeth has always thought that her aunt is a wise woman. She does not have Mrs. Bennet's beauty, but her intelligence and personality fully make up for it.A woman who knows how to manage a marriage.

The first thing Mrs. Gardiner did when she arrived was to give everyone presents and tell them about the latest fashions in London.After this was done, she sat aside and listened to what Mrs. Bennet had to say to her.Mrs. Bennet had many complaints to make and complaints to make.The two daughters were about to get married, but in the end it was nothing.It made her feel like she was being bullied and that no one in the family was on her side.

"I don't blame Jane," said Mrs. Bennet, "for Jane could have married Mr. Bingley, and she would have done so long ago. But Lizzie—oh, sister-in-law! If she hadn't been so stubborn herself." Well, perhaps she's already Mrs. Collins. He proposed to her in this very room, and she rejected him sternly. Mrs. Lucas had a daughter who was older than mine. Married, you must know that Miss Lucas is definitely not as beautiful as any of my daughters. It hurts me that Lizzie gave up such a good marriage like this!!! And my poor Jane, her and Bingley Mr. Bingley is a perfect match, but not long ago, I don’t know why they left for London without saying goodbye. Someone must be sowing discord with Mr. Bingley, otherwise, how could Mr. Bingley leave Jane.” I have to say Bennett Ma'am the truth.

Mrs. Gardner also knows Mrs. Bennet very well. Besides, she communicates frequently with Jane and Elizabeth. She also knows what happened in their family recently. Mrs. Gardner knows Mrs. Bennet very well. What do you want to hear, in order to appease Mrs. Bennet, Mrs. Gardner is very "same enemy" echoing Mrs. Bennet.Soon Mrs. Bennet was reassured by Mrs. Gardner.Elizabeth cast a grateful look to her aunt.Ever since Mrs. Bennet knew that her two daughters' marriages were in jeopardy, the lives of Elizabeth and Jane were surrounded by Mrs. Bennet's soprano.Elizabeth is fine, but Mr. Bennet has been very supportive of her behavior anyway.Mrs. Bennet just reprimanded her.But Jane herself was very sad about Mr. Bingley's leaving without saying goodbye, and normal people in the family deliberately did not mention Bingley.But Mrs. Bennet ignored her daughter's inner thoughts at all, and still expressed her indignation at the loss of Mr. Bingley, the "golden tortoise son-in-law" every day.Jane's scars were exposed again and again, which made Elizabeth very worried about Jane's emotions.Every time she sees Jane's face uncontrollably stiff when Mrs. Bennet is downgraded to Mr. Bingley, Elizabeth knows that she still hasn't completely let go. Although Jane is a sweet girl with a weak appearance, she also has a lot of stubbornness in her heart. .

"You are a very sensible child, Lizzie. You don't like anyone just because others think they are good. You know what you want, right? I rejected that Mr. Collins to you through your letter and inquiry these days. You are very good, Lizzie, so you have to be very cautious about your marriage. As for your mother, she actually hopes that her daughter can be happy, but for her, a qualified husband Conditions and your thoughts have a big way out. But your father and we are on your side. Lizzy with your character, if you marry someone you don't like, not only you will suffer, but your husband It will definitely be very painful, and maybe the next generation will also be like this. You are very smart, and we all hope that you will not disappoint your smartness. I know that your father trusts you to be good character and decisive, and you must not let him down."

"Dear aunt, you really know me very well. If someone makes me suffer, I will definitely repay you ten times. I also know my character, and my requirement for marriage is to prefer lack to excess. Even if I can't get married, I won't have any difficulties in life Don't worry, I've already figured out my way out. I can live proudly without love."

"Li Qi, although I fully believe that you can live well by yourself, I still hope that you have your own family and your own children."

"Well, you don't need to worry. I know what to do, but no one can say anything about love and marriage. Let it take its course."

The Gardners stayed in Longborn for more than a week and planned to go back on Wednesday, and invited Elizabeth to London to play. Elizabeth hoped that Jane would also go to relax together. I wonder if Jane still can't forget Mr. Bingley. When Elizabeth Jane agreed.Elizabeth didn't know much about Jane's real thoughts, but Elizabeth wanted to take her eldest sister to London for a walk anyway.I have always wanted to teach Bingley a lesson, and starting from London this time may be a good opportunity.But the day before Elizabeth thought they should set off, Mr. Collins returned to Hertfordshire.He lived at Lucas's house, and Mrs. Bennet finally gave up, thinking that the marriage was inevitable, but said maliciously several times: "I hope they will be happy." Thursday was Collins and Charlotte. Miss Lucas came to the Bennet House on Wednesday to say good-bye to her wedding.When Charlotte rises to say goodbye, Elizabeth sends her out.

"I'm sure you'll write to me often, Lizzie."

"You can rest assured. Charlotte, if you have any difficulties in the future, you can write to me, and I will do my best to help you."

"Thank you, Lizzie, I love your gift! I want you to do me a favor. Would you like to come and see me?"

"I hope we can see each other often in Hertfordshire."

"I may not leave Kent for a while. Promise me to come to Hunsford."

"If given the chance!"

Charlotte added: "My parents are coming to me in March, and I want you to come with them. Really, Lizzie, I shall welcome you as much as I welcome them."

"If it's convenient at that time, I will go to Charlotte!"

Because of Charlotte's wedding, Elizabeth and the others decided to leave one day later.On Thursday, the wedding was completed, and the bride and groom set off for Kent directly from the church door.Elizabeth and Jane also went to London with their uncle and aunt.
