Pride and Prejudice accident

Because she lived in someone else's house, Andrea didn't dare to sleep in, so she pulled Maria up early in the morning. When the two of them went downstairs, they saw that three guests had already arrived in the living room, and they were talking with Mr. Darcy. And Georgiana was talking affectionately.

"Andrea, Maria, you are up, I just want the maid to call you!" Georgiana saw Andrea and Maria standing at the door, and immediately ran over happily to hold them He walked to the sofa with his hand and introduced them: "This is the friend I invited to play this time, Andrea Ferguson, Maria Ferguson. This is Mr. Charles Bingley, this is Mr. Bingley Mrs. Louisa Hostow's sister, and this is Mrs. Bingley's sister, Miss Caroline Bingley."

Several people saluted and greeted each other. Mr. Bingley was a handsome gentleman with blond hair, blue eyes and well-behaved manners. He looked at Andrea with a smile and said, "I just heard from Georgiana that the two ladies are from Mansfield. A lot of coal mines?"

"Yes, but those coal mines are still far away from our home. We have never seen them before. Of course, ordinary people can't just go there except workers." Andrea sat next to Georgiana and replied.

"Then the economic development over there must be good!"

"Yes, it's very good. The town is very lively, with several hotels and restaurants."

"I've wanted to go there before, but unfortunately I haven't had the time. Maybe I can find some time after Christmas." Mr. Bingley thought for a while and said.

"Mr. Bingley is interested in coal mines?"

"Of course, but I'm mainly going there to see if I can get some business."

"I don't know if there is a beautiful manor vacant in Miss Ferguson's village. My brother may want to buy one. After all, we can't go back to the manor in Longbourn." Miss Bingley smiled with her lips curled up. Said, with some risky sarcasm in the words.

Andrea didn't understand what the lady said, so she saw Mr. Bingley's expression changed, and there seemed to be a trace of pain in his eyes, so she didn't answer Miss Bingley's words, and said to Mr. Bingley: "I think Mr. Bingley will be able to Mansfield negotiated your business, after all you seem to be a successful businessman."

"Miss Ferguson, your praise really makes me feel very embarrassed, but with your kind words, I believe I will be able to negotiate that business."

Andrea did not answer his sister's words in a considerate manner, which made Mr. Bingley feel better. Mr. Bingley no longer wanted to mention the love affair with Miss Bennet.He let go of his identity to love a lady who was not from the right family and whose family members were not very popular, but during the half a year in Longbourn, that lady never showed enthusiasm for him.She is always so reserved, and will always only smile at him with a constant smile.Although she was always willing to talk to him, and never missed any of his invitations to dance, Mr. Bingley still could not feel the lady's admiration for him.So under the persuasion of his friends and sisters, he came to London, hoping to forget the lady.

In the following time, everyone began to chat casually. Mr. Bingley is a very funny person, and because he has contacts with many people, he has heard a lot of things. Andrea loves to hear these things the most, so she pulls Mr. Bingley to say better words.

Miss Bingley has been very nervous since hearing that two young ladies came to Mr. Darcy's home yesterday. Except for Georgiana and her sister Louisa, she is very wary of any lady who approaches Mr. Darcy within 50 meters. , so I brought Mr. Bingley and Mrs. Hostow to visit early this morning.

After seeing Andrea and Maria, Miss Bingley was relieved, because she thought she knew Mr. Darcy very well, and thought that Mr. Darcy would look down on young ladies who were not beautiful enough.But now she was upset again, because Andrea and Mr. Bingley really got along so well. Since they left Longbourn, Mr. Bingley has never smiled so happily as today!

Mrs. Hostow saw her sister staring at Mr. Bingley and Andrea with her lips tightly pursed, so she pulled her sleeves, mouthed at Georgiana, and blinked in the direction of the music room.Miss Bingley immediately smiled knowingly, she stood up and walked to Georgiana, and said: "Georgiana, I haven't heard you talk about the piano for a long time, I really miss you, I wonder if you can play for us What about the first song?"

Georgiana was sitting in the corner of the sofa with Maria and whispering, after hearing Miss Bingley's words, she looked at Mr. Darcy. To be honest, she was more willing to talk with Maria now.

Mr. Darcy saw that his sister didn't seem to want to play the piano very much, but he also saw the scene where Miss Bingley stared at Andrea for a long time, which was really embarrassing. He didn't want Andrea to realize Miss Bingley's impoliteness , so he nodded to Georgiana and said, "Joanna, go play a piece. I haven't heard you play the piano for a long time. I don't know if your piano skills have improved."

"Okay brother, but I want to play with Maria, and she plays very well." Georgiana said, holding Maria's hand.

So everyone entered the music room, and Georgiana took Maria to sit at the piano, found a tune at random, and started playing.Miss Bingley smiled and took the opportunity to quickly sit beside Mr. Darcy, then raised her chin to Mrs. Hurst who was walking behind.

Andrea and Mr. Bingley walked at the back. She was listening to Mr. Bingley tell a ghost story in the countryside. Mr. Bingley's eloquence was very good, and she listened with great interest.The two chose a sofa and were about to continue, but Mrs. Hostow suddenly and confidently j**jed in front of the two, and then sat down on the sofa, separating Mr. Bingley and Andrea.

Andrea sighed helplessly, feeling extremely disappointed. It wasn't that she didn't notice the displeasure in the eyes of Miss Bingley and Mrs. Hurst when they saw her chatting with Mr. Bingley, but Andrea didn't care about it. She was happy to chat with Mr. Bingley and hear interesting things she hadn't heard, but now she felt extremely disappointed.So she smiled at Mr. Bingley and said, "Mr. Bingley, let's talk about the story later, let's listen to the music seriously at this moment." Then she turned around and walked to the piano, flipping through the several sheet music.

Mr. Bingley glanced at his sister displeased. He knew that his sister must look down on Andrea and didn't want him to have more contact with Andrea, but Mr. Bingley just wanted to relieve his gloomy mood. , he has just said goodbye to a relationship, and now he has no leisure to start another relationship with another lady right away.

Mrs. Hostow gave Mr. Bingley a dissatisfied look, then turned her head and smiled triumphantly at Miss Bingley.After Miss Bingley saw it, she nodded in satisfaction, and began to praise Georgiana's talent and beauty to Mr. Bingley.

Mr. Darcy felt a little headache watching it. He knew that Miss Bingley wanted Mr. Bingley and his sister to form a pair. If Georgiana could be older, Mr. Darcy would not object. Unfortunately, Georgiana is now He is only 16 years old, and Mr. Bingley will be 30 years old in a few years. The two are really not suitable.Besides, the relationship between the two is just brother and sister. Miss Bingley's blind attempt to deal with the two really made Mr. Darcy at a loss as to what to do. After all, Miss Bingley didn't say it directly, so he couldn't go to Miss Bingley Speak your mind clearly.

The Bennet family in Longbourne has not been very happy these days. Ever since the eldest daughter of the Bennet family, Jane, received a letter from Miss Bingley, telling her that their family will spend Christmas in London, and the whole After the news that she will stay there in winter, Jane's mood has not been very happy.Although Jane's routine is the same as usual, and she still smiles all day long, but there is always some confusion and pain in her eyes.This made the entire Bennet family a little uneasy, even though only Elizabeth knew the truth.

In the afternoon, Mr. Bennet stayed in his study as usual, and Mrs. Bennet went out to visit the ladies with whom she usually chatted. Mary, the third daughter of the Bennet family, was sitting in the garden holding a book of philosophy. Sunbathing, while the other two youngest daughters ran to the town to play, and only the eldest daughter Jane and the second daughter Elizabeth of the Bennet family sat in the living room.

Elizabeth put down the book in her hand and read for a long time. She looked sideways at Jane who was doing embroidery seriously, and asked with a rather worried expression: "Jane, you have been unhappy these days because you are worried that Mr. Bingley will not are you back?"

"Lissie, is there anything else you don't understand? Miss Bingley's letter clearly stated that their family will spend the whole winter in London. How could he come back?"

"Jane, he loves you, and you love each other. He will miss you no less than you miss him. Since you hope so much for him to return to Longbourne, then he must also be so strongly hoping to come back to see you as soon as possible." As for the content of that letter, I told you before that you should be suspicious of Miss Bingley's friendship, but you never believed it. I told you that you were sick before, and I went to visit Nigerfield. You heard Miss Bingley laughing at us when you were there. So I think the content of that letter is pure nonsense. It must be Miss Bingley herself. She doesn't want you to be her sister-in-law, so she wants to be with you Bingley." Elizabeth stood up and sat next to Jane, grabbing her arm and said.

"Lissie, you are always too assertive. At that time, we were not familiar with Miss Bingley. I believe it was definitely not her intention. She is my friend now. You would never say that she invited me to Netherfield is a guest because she doesn't like me! And she doesn't have to lie, Mr. Bingley is the head of the family, and their itinerary is naturally according to Mr. Bingley, and I really want to know if it is what she said, and we will know in the end, It's pointless to lie to me." Jane stopped her needlework and sighed, she always believed that her friendship with Miss Bingley was sincere, not for any purpose.

"But you are so in love, anyone who sees you together can see that you are so well matched, and Mr. Bingley's love for you is so clear, it can't be fake. Since your love It is true, then what reason could Mr Bingley leave Longbourne suddenly without writing you a letter, the only reason is that Mr Bingley has some difficult business to do in London, and I believe that when it For those things, he will come back, and maybe he will invite you to Netherfield Garden to spend Christmas together." Elizabeth said very confidently, she is the person who the whole family hopes that Jane can be with her beloved Of course, her previous contact with Mr. Bingley also made her believe in Mr. Bingley's character.

Elizabeth always believed in her point of view very firmly, and she was so eloquent, and what she said was so convincing, so Jane was a little bit shaken in her mind that Mr. Bingley would not return to Longbourn. From the bottom of my heart, I believed that Mr. Bingley would definitely come back. After all, the two of them had been dating for more than half a year. Jane was a smart girl, and it was impossible for her not to understand Mr. Bingley's sincerity.

"Lixi, you are always so convincing." Jane said with a smile.

"That's because what I said is the truth." Elizabeth also said with a smile.
