Chapter 8

"The letter that Miss Elizabeth mentioned is not like a letter from the girl's family, but an official letter."

"...Although the Bennett family is not as good as the Darcy family, my father also has a lot of official documents to manage the assets of the Bennett family. As a daughter, I have also come into contact with it. I don’t know this Is Mr. Darcy satisfied with the explanation?"

"...Miss Elizabeth, I think you have misunderstood......"

"Oh, I didn't expect that Miss Bennet was also involved in business. Didn't your father stop it?" Miss Bingley was very sensitive about the conversation between Elizabeth and Darcy, even if it seemed that the two were arguing, but Darcy When did the husband raise a dispute with someone who has nothing to do with him, and he didn't look angry when Elizabeth teased Darcy again and again, and even looked like he was secretly flattering Elizabeth.Darcy, who has always been proud, will please Miss Bennet for no reason.This realization alarmed Miss Bingley.So it was very rude to interrupt the conversation between the two.

"Miss Bingley is worrying too much. My younger brother is still young. As an older sister, it is the filial piety of a child to share his father's worries. I heard that many properties of the Bingley family are also managed by Miss Bingley. It must be Bingley. Miss Lai also wants to share Mr. Bingley's worries, doesn't she! It seems that Miss Bingley is very talented in business, after all, Mr. Bingley has been an adult for a long time, but still trusts Miss Bingley's management ability so much." Of course Elizabeth knew The reason why Miss Bingley said this is that it was unseemly to be in business in England in the 18th century.Elizabeth felt that these people were full and supported, saying that the businessman was low and at the same time paying great attention to the pound.The amount of a person's assets directly affects the status of this person in the hearts of others, which is really hypocritical.

Miss Bingley wants to say that Elizabeth is engaged in business and has contact with the family business is very disgraceful, Elizabeth uses herself to refute.And satirized Miss Bingley's involvement in the adult brother's property, with ill intentions.

Looking at Miss Bingley with an extremely ugly face, Elizabeth said that she was the one who came together to make fun of her, and her fighting power was too low.

Looking at his sister's troubled face, Bingley finally gained experience, and he must not go against Miss Elizabeth, otherwise he will be the one who suffers.Every time she could bring down the provocateur, whether it was Caroline or Darcy.And fortunately, Miss Elizabeth seems to be relatively friendly to herself?

In order to ease the atmosphere, Mr. Bingley asked Miss Bingley and Miss Elizabeth to reward him with a little music. Miss Bingley walked quickly to the piano, first politely, and asked Elizabeth to take the lead, but Elizabeth was more polite and sincere. resigned, and Miss Bingley sat down at the piano.

Mrs. Horst sang for her sister.When the two sisters played, Elizabeth herself was still immersed in the book, but found that Mr. Darcy's eyes were always looking at her.For this incomprehensible, too advanced, Mr. Darcy, Elizabeth has been adhering to the rhythm of "you can't see me, and I ignore you".But in the past few days, I don't know if Mr. Darcy took the wrong medicine (or forgot to take it!).From time to time, he pays attention to her.Could it be that you don't like yourself, if you don't like it, don't look at it!

After Miss Bingley played some Italian songs, she changed the mood by some lively Scottish pieces.Presently Mr. Darcy came up to Elizabeth and said to her:

"Miss Bennet, don't you really want to take this opportunity to dance a Scotch dance?"

Elizabeth did not answer him, but smiled.Seeing her silence, he felt a little strange, so he asked her again.

"Oh," she said, "I've heard it before, but I'm not sure how to answer you. Of course, I know you want me to say 'yes' and you will be contemptuous of my low taste, okay Make yourself proud, it's a pity that I always like to expose people's tricks and play tricks on those who want to despise people. So I decided to tell you that I don't like Scotch dancing at all (actually she doesn't like it. Jump!); now you dare not despise me." Naturally, Elizabeth saw that Mr. Darcy's invitation was serious.But narrow-minded, you will get revenge, if you make me unhappy, I will pay you back a hundred times. The little lady Elizabeth still decided to embarrass him.

"Miss Elizabeth, you have misunderstood." Darcy felt that Miss Elizabeth's kindness towards him was always thinking of the worst.Darcy once again regrets that he and Miss Bingley have talked about the Bennet family.

In the end, Mr. Darcy still did not invite the beautiful woman to dance with. Miss Bingley suddenly stopped playing the piano and entangled Mr. Darcy again.Elizabeth saw clearly Miss Bingley's admiration for Mr. Darcy, but she also saw the gentleman's impatience for Miss Bingley.Luo Hua is intentional and ruthless, and Miss Bingley's persistence is admirable, but such entanglement with no regard for face and behavior of belittling others in order to elevate herself is disgusting.In particular, it was Elizabeth's family that she belittled.If it were not for Mr. Bingley's face, Elizabeth would have turned her face.A Miss Bingley was not to her.

Darcy on the other side has mixed feelings. He is happy that he has no more contact with Miss Elizabeth, which will not cause any misunderstanding.The worry is that if you don't get along with Miss Elizabeth, you won't have the opportunity to apologize to her.This made Darcy very at a loss because Darcy could clearly feel that Miss Elizabeth had misunderstood him and was always on guard against himself.This made Darcy very distressed.

Miss Bingley saw that Elizabeth was reading all the time, and Mr. Darcy looked at Elizabeth from time to time even though he was also reading. Miss Bingley looked at the beautiful side face of Elizabeth who was reading seriously, her long eyelashes fluttered from time to time, her eyes Concentration and wisdom are revealed in the book, and Miss Bingley has to admit that Miss Elizabeth is very charming.Unconvinced, Miss Bingley also picks up a book to read. She deliberately sits beside Darcy while watching Darcy read, and at the same time reading by herself.She kept saying something to him, or seeing what page he was reading.Miss Bingley, however, was always incapable of making Darcy talk; he answered every question she asked, and went on to read him after that.Miss Bingley chose that book only because it was the second volume Darcy had read, and she was exhausted by reading it with great interest.She yawned and said, "What a pleasure it is to spend an evening like this! I say, no entertainment can beat reading. No matter what you do, you get bored as soon as you start it, but reading doesn't." That’s it! One day I will have my own home, if I don’t have a good study, what a pity it will be.”

No one paid any attention to her, Elizabeth couldn't even suppress the twitching of the corner of her mouth, Miss Bingley was so bad at talking nonsense, Miss Bingley yawned again, put aside the book, and looked at the whole room. Turning around, she was looking for something to amuse herself, when she heard her brother say that there was going to be a ball, she turned her head abruptly and said to him:

"So, Charles, are you really going to have a ball at Netherfield? I advise you to consult with your friends there before making a decision. There will be some who feel that dancing is a pain, and It's not entertainment, if there is no such person, you can blame me."

"If you mean Darcy," cried Mr. Bingley, "then he can go to bed before the dance begins, and do as he likes. The ball is fixed, and it will only wait for Nicole." Erles has everything ready, so I'll post an invitation."

Miss Bingley said: "I'd be much happier if there were some variety in the ball, for the usual routine at the ball is a horrific thing. If you could change the order of the day, talk instead of dancing." , that must be much more interesting."

"It might be much more interesting, Caroline, but is it like a dance?"

Miss Bingley made no answer.In a short time, she got up, and walked up and down the room, showing off her graceful figure and quick steps to Darcy, but it was a pity that Darcy was only there absorbed in reading, so she was wasted. scheming.Desperate, she resolved to make another effort, and turning to Elizabeth, said:

"Miss Elizabeth Bennet, I advise you to learn from me and walk around the room. Tell you, after sitting for so long, walking around can refresh you." Elizabeth -_-|||Idiots can see The motives for coming out to Miss Bingley.But that doesn't mean Elizabeth is willing to be silly with her.If the IQ of women in love is zero, then Miss Bingley tells us that women in unrequited love have no such thing as IQ.

"Thank you, Miss Bingley. Actually, I am very energetic now. The world in the book has completely attracted me, but I think Mr. Darcy will be happy to accompany Miss Bingley for a walk. Since Mr. Darcy doesn't like to be with strange ladies Since Miss Bingley is not in the category of strangers, Mr. Darcy should be extremely willing to accompany Miss Bingley for a walk and refresh himself. After all, if he does not even get in touch with familiar ladies, others will think that Mr. Darcy does not love It’s really troublesome to touch a woman. Isn’t it, Mr. Darcy!” Elizabeth pushed Miss Bingley, who was in a silly state, to Darcy, and implied that if Darcy disagreed, then she would suspect that Darcy didn’t love women. …

"......" Darcy who was defeated again. (Actually, I think Darcy was shot innocently!)

So Mr. Dead Face Mr. Darcy and Mrs. Two Silly Mrs. Bingley walked around the room foolishly...

"......" ⊙﹏⊙b Khan asked Mr. Bingley dumbfounded.

The next day Miss Bingley and Darcy were walking in the undergrowth, and Miss Bingley said: "I hope that one day when you get what you want, you will have to gently advise your mother-in-law to be careful in what she says. Some, and your sisters-in-law, if you can, you'd better cure them of their obsession with officers. There's one more thing I'm ashamed to say; Your Madam has a little Small temper, seems to be conceited, and seems not to be polite, you have to try your best to help her restrain it. And be sure to hang the portrait of your uncle and uncle in the Pemberley Gallery, just hang it in your Next to the portrait of my great-uncle who was a judge. You know they are all colleagues, but in different departments. As for the lady Elizabeth, please don't let others paint her. What painter in the world can paint her beautiful eyes Is the painting lifelike?"

"The expression of those eyes is indeed not easy to describe; but the shape and color of the eyes, and her eyelashes, are so wonderful that they may be described." Mr. Darcy never wanted to talk to Miss Bingley about the Bennets again. shameful.And he was very disgusted by Miss Bingley's satire on Miss Elizabeth, but his heart beat obviously faster when he heard her say 'My Lady'.I don't know if it was because it made him forget to refute Miss Bingley's words.After all, he could feel Elizabeth's dislike for him or for them.Miss Elizabeth, except Bingley, would not even look at them.

"Mr. Darcy, I think Miss Elizabeth's beautiful eyes should not be able to cover your eyes at all. The Bennet family and the Darcy family are not on the same level." Miss Bingley heard that Darcy did not agree with her words but praised Elizabeth. eyes, which made her angry.So Miss Bingley reminded Darcy of the consequences of marrying Elizabeth from the perspective of the family.

"Yes, Miss Elizabeth is indeed excellent, but her family still prevents her from marrying into a high-class family, including the Darcy family of course." Darcy said to Miss Bingley as if to himself.

But what Mr. Darcy and Miss Bingley didn't know was that not far from them, the protagonist they were talking about was leaning against a big tree with a pair of beautiful eyes and a slender hand holding a book.I don't know if she heard what Miss Bingley and the others said.It can only be said that Mr. Darcy's ups and downs in the future are completely self-inflicted.

Because it has been some days in Netherfield Garden, and Elizabeth's sense of the hosts here is not good, so after Jane's health improved a lot, Elizabeth proposed to say goodbye.Almost everyone in the host family is happy.Miss Bingley became at once polite to Elizabeth, and at once affectionate to Jane.When they parted, she first told Jane how much she looked forward to seeing her again at Longbourne, or at Netherfield, and embraced her very affectionately, and even shook Elizabeth's hand.Elizabeth felt slightly amused when she saw her look of 'finally leaving'.Miss Bingley's behavior seems a bit neurotic to her. Of course Elizabeth knows that this lady has a strong "possessive desire" for Mr. Darcy, but Elizabeth asks herself that she has no unreasonable thoughts about Mr. Darcy, and Darcy Mr. West looked the same way.Miss Bingley was extremely hostile to herself, such behavior not only made Elizabeth speechless, but also definitely made Darcy feel that she was petty.

And what made Elizabeth laugh was that Miss Bingley repeatedly emphasized the gap between the Darcy family and the Bennett family, but didn't she see the gap between Bingley and the Darcy family?Elizabeth didn't believe the rumor that Darcy only had an annual income of [-] pounds. The head of a family that owned half of Derbyshire, countless factories, and large overseas plantations and even mining made [-] pounds a year. The income in pounds is a joke to the world.Moreover, although the Darcy family is not noble, but the family has a long history, and the families of the past dynasties often marry noble women as wives.The purpose of doing this is very clear, the Darcy family hopes to get a title.According to the wealth of the Darcy family, there is every chance to obtain the title, but whether the title is high or not, whether it is recognized by the upper class, requires the Darcy family to work hard. The best way is of course marriage.

Miss Bingley seems to have completely ignored this issue. She would not think that a family like the Bingleys, which is out of touch with the upper class, would be the most desirable marriage partner for the Darcys.There are only two kinds of people that Mr. Darcy will marry, one is the person he loves, because Mr. Darcy is the head of the Darcy family, so he can marry whoever he likes without anyone intervening.The second type is the mistress that the Darcy family needs, that is, to marry a noble noblewoman like old Mr. Darcy.So far our poor Miss Bingley appears to be neither.

When they got home, their mother welcomed them with less enthusiasm.Mrs. Bennet blamed them both for their return so early, and complained very much of their absence from Netherfield for a few more days, and said that Jane was sure to have another cold.On the contrary, their father was very happy to see his two daughters coming home, although he didn't say anything joyful.He has long realized how important the two daughters are in the family.When Jane and Elizabeth are not present at night when the family gathers to talk, there is no energy, or even meaning.And he's alone against an 'uncommunicable' trio headed by Mrs Bennet.Plus a Mary who loves to read more than her father, and a younger son who is too young to complain.Such an experience made Mr. Bennet very happy for the return of his two eldest daughters, especially Elizabeth.
