Miss Elizabeth Goldfinger Bennet

Chapter 31

After dinner, everyone moved to the living room, drinking tea and chatting.

Darcy naturally guided Elizabeth to a seat near the window. Darcy knew that Elizabeth liked the sun, and it was a beautiful spring season, so there was nothing wrong with getting more sun.And he himself chose to sit diagonally opposite to Elizabeth, where, no matter how he moved his eyes, he could see her face for the first time.

Darcy found that Elizabeth looked very stable and cold, but he found that the girl was very simple in her feelings. If he paid too much attention to her, she would be embarrassed.Although he stubbornly did not show any shy expression, the helpless shyness in those bright eyes still made him want to stop.

He likes to look at her, meets her eyes inadvertently, and is willing to discover every bit of her difference.

"Darcy, I think you need to restrain yourself. Although I'm honored to see Miss Elizabeth look at a loss, but in this situation, I think she will get angry if you watch it again." Fitzwilliam touched Darcy's arm , Reminding in a low voice.

Darcy immediately withdrew his gaze. He knew how terrible it was for the lady on the opposite side to be angry, but he still couldn't help looking at Elizabeth again, just in time to see Elizabeth sending her away because he no longer looked at her. He took a breath.Darcy was suddenly very happy, and it seemed that Miss Elizabeth was not insensible to his feelings.

On the other side, Collins began to praise Miss Anna Bauer after praising the dinner, claiming that she was the most perfect lady he had ever seen, because she was not able to attend the palace dinner because she was not aristocratic, and Buckingham Palace lost the brightest pearl.

Elizabeth had learned about Collins's stupidity long ago, and Buckingham Palace was also the brightest pearl that he could talk about without authorization. Didn't he know that the brightest pearl of the palace dinner was always the queen or the royal princess.

Mrs. Bauer giggled, Miss Anna Bauer also blushed, but her eyes were full of joy.

Sir Lucas and Charlotte became Collins' answerers, and they echoed what he said.

Elizabeth really didn't want to listen to their ignorant remarks, so our Miss Elizabeth went away without any pressure.Speaking of the palace dinner, I thought of the letter sent by my close friend a few days ago. It seems that the eldest prince George is not in good health, and Elizabeth is quite worried. It is very normal for a child to die in this era, even in the royal family.Secondly, although Elizabeth is not very familiar with the current history of Europe, she still knows that because the royal families of European countries are too close in blood due to frequent marriages, many royal children died of hemophilia.Although the situation of Queen Victoria's children is not known, this makes Elizabeth even more worried.

And Elizabeth likes the child George very much. Although she is the crown prince and has a heavy daily study task, she has never heard him complain about suffering. As the only child of the current queen, she has collected thousands of pets and is proud of herself.The relationship with Elizabeth is also very good. I always call her sister. Who wouldn't like such a child? It's really a ghost.

"Education is the key to cultivating a lady!" After Collins finished speaking, Mrs. Bauer's proud opening also scared Elizabeth back to her senses.Elizabeth suddenly became a little annoyed, mother, don't you know that people are scary and scary.

Mrs. Bauer looked around the living room, trying to find a foil for her daughter, and then she spotted Elizabeth who had humiliated her in front of her.

"Miss Elizabeth, can you play the piano?" She asked slowly.

"I'm not proficient, ma'am." Of course Elizabeth knew what Mrs. Bauer's intention was, but she really didn't have any mood to entangle with her now. She thought maybe she should write a letter to Victoria immediately to greet her little nephew.

Mrs. Bauer is obviously not someone who can read other people's faces, and she pretended to be modest, "Anna's piano skills are not superb. If it is not because of her weak body and lack of practice, her teacher said that she can definitely improve."

"Miss Elizabeth, can you draw?" she asked after a pause.

"Not proficient, ma'am." It's annoying.

"Painting is a sacred art. Different colors can show the soul of the painter. This kind of art practice has an important impact on the cultivation of ladies. I suggest you practice more, which is good for improving your temperament. Anna every day You must insist on painting for two hours, never interrupted by anything." Mrs. Bauer's tone became more proud.She likes to find superiority in others.

Elizabeth smiled. She finally knew that some people are shameless and like to abuse others for pleasure, right?Elizabeth slightly adjusted her sitting posture, which made her look more lazy, but the aura she exuded shocked everyone present.

Everyone like Collins is already sweating, and the skills given to her by Elizabeth's practice system, coupled with years of management company and the queen's contact with such a high-ranking person, are even more powerful than before.

In fact, Darcy knew that something was wrong from Elizabeth's smile. How could he not know about Elizabeth's pride? Darcy didn't like her aunt's way of suppressing others to elevate herself, but no matter what Mrs. Bauer said, It is his elder, but obviously he forgot that Mrs. Bauer is his elder, yes, but it has nothing to do with Elizabeth.

"I agree with Mrs. Bauer's requirements for a lady. Piano skills, painting, etc. are all necessary skills for a lady. However, these things combined cannot compare with one thing." Everyone present heard what Elizabeth said. Looking at her unconsciously, everyone wanted to know what was so important.

"It's health, ma'am. Only a healthy mistress can give birth to a healthy heir for her husband's family. Ma'am, if you don't believe me, you can ask your nephews and nephews. The weak and talented women in the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting city can give birth to healthy heirs for them." Which one will they choose among the heir ladies?" Seeing Mrs. Bauer with a dark face and Miss Anna with a paler face, Elizabeth smiled even lighter.

Don't think she doesn't know, the 'simple' Miss Anna just gloated and smiled, Elizabeth is very sensitive to people's senses, this weak lady is not a simple master.Rescuing her mother just now made her feel grand, but now Elizabeth can feel her mother's complacency in suppressing Elizabeth and raising herself.

"Madam, thank you for your lunch, it's delicious!" Elizabeth specially emphasized the word "delicious", and then looked at Mr. Collins and the others with a half-smile.

Elizabeth stood up gracefully, and bid farewell to everyone in a noble and elegant manner. Darcy and Colonel Fitzwilliam immediately stood up and returned the salute.And what Elizabeth left for them is a beautiful back.Elizabeth who walked to the door suddenly turned around and said to Mrs. Bauer: "Ma'am, I don't think you practiced piano or painting much after you married Mr. Bauer. After all, as the head of the house, you have to manage Nuo Da It's not an easy job, Rosings."

Elizabeth just waved her sleeves and left without taking away a cloud, while the people left behind were silent for a while.

The two men were thinking about the same question. Elizabeth asked them the question, which one would they choose between the weak and talented woman who can play music, chess, calligraphy and painting and the woman who can give birth to a strong heir for them? As two responsible men, which one would they choose? It is very obvious.

The inheritance of the heir family is the most important thing. This is why Mr. Darcy did not want to marry the Bauer family at the beginning. The Bauer family is rich and the title is about to be obtained, but their daughter is really not in good health. Well, the Darcy family has always had a few heirs, and he and his wife only had one son and one daughter in middle age.Of course, he would not order a wife with such a body for his only son.It is good to bear the risk of extinction.

Mrs. Bauer and Miss Anna obviously knew the answer. Miss Anna actually didn't have much affection for Darcy. Of course, the ones who like girls at her age are Mr. Bingley, a handsome gentleman who knows how to please girls.Although Darcy looks good, but his personality is too dull.But since she was a child, she knew that she was not in good health, and her cousin Darcy was the best choice if she wanted to hug the Baoer family, and under her mother's years of teaching, she had already regarded Darcy as her own private property.

Mrs. Bauer's heart is more complicated. No one understands the importance of health better than Mrs. Bauer.When her husband died of illness and her daughter was weak, what she hoped most was that Anna's health would get better.She also knew the reason why old Darcy refused her daughter to marry into the Darcy family. Although she resented, she couldn't do anything about it, because she knew that unhealthy parents were likely to give birth to unhealthy children.Anna did this because of her father's unhealthy condition, and the doctor also told her that the disease inherited from the previous generation is difficult to cure, and it is very likely to be passed on to the next generation.

So even if she really wants to marry the Darcy family, she can't force Darcy to agree, but people are always selfish. The daughter belongs to Mrs. Bauer. She stubbornly believes that her nephew should marry Anna.Mrs. Darcy's seat belongs to her own daughter.Every time Darcy came to Rosings over the years she used to mention the matter to her nephew.

Only Mrs. Bauer knows that the Bauer family has nothing left in these years. Except for the [-] dowry her husband left for Anna in the early years, she doesn't even know whether this Rosings Manor can be left behind after her death. to Anna.After all, Anna no longer has the surname Baoer after she got married, and this manor is the ancestral home of the Baoer family.

Therefore, it is currently the best choice for Anna to marry Darcy, who is an outstanding character and property.Not to mention the entanglement of everyone on Rosings' side.After Elizabeth returned to her room in the Collins Mansion, she wrote a greeting letter to her close friends in London and sent a bottle of health pills, which can warm and nourish the body.Hope it's not good for George.Then he sent a letter to his family saying he was safe.

In fact, Elizabeth didn't want to stay here anymore, but leaving in such a hasty way would only make people say that she was rude, and Elizabeth would not give them such a handle.And Elizabeth believed that as long as Mrs. Power dared to pretend to be noble and abuse her in front of her, she would have a way to make her lose face.

It's Mr. Darcy's side that makes Elizabeth a little tangled. Mrs. Bowle is Darcy's elder. If she is very close, then if she has anything to do with Darcy in the future, she will be held hostage by Mrs. Bowle.Our Elizabeth obviously didn't realize that she had initially approved Mr. Darcy in her heart.

Elizabeth waited until Collins and the others came back at three o'clock in the afternoon, and she didn't dare to be too presumptuous when facing Elizabeth Collins.With his small brain capacity, he finally realized that his cousin was not someone to be trifled with, and even Mrs. Bauer would not be able to get much benefit from her.He had never seen such an aura in Mrs. Bauer.

So the frequency of Elizabeth seeing Collins has dropped significantly recently, which made Elizabeth feel that the air around her is much better.Elizabeth fully understood Collins' bullying character.It seems that for the sake of his future mood, he can't show any kindness to Collins.
