Pride and Prejudice Mr Bennett
Chapter 78
"Remember, I give you time to adjust, but I don't accept rejection."
Elizabeth stared blankly at herself in the mirror, thinking of what Mr. Darcy said to herself in her ear when Mr. Darcy left, the serious tone let people know that a simple person will become so tough when pushed ah.
"Liz, are you okay? It's time." Jane's voice came from outside. Elizabeth came back to her senses, put on a string of bracelets casually, and stepped out of the room, temporarily putting aside Mr. Darcy's words. Anyway, Darcy Mr. Xi should be very busy recently.
"Come on, let's go. Where's Mary?" Elizabeth raised her hair by her ear, looked around, but didn't find Mary.
"Where do you think Mary will be?" Jane looked at Elizabeth, who was out of shape recently, amusedly, even ignoring the fact that Mary was stuck with Mr. Robert recently.
"Oh, look at me, I'm confused." Elizabeth clapped her hands, complaining in her heart that Mr. Darcy had too much influence on her.
"Okay, mom and dad are waiting below." Jane took the lead to leave with graceful steps.
"Hey, is Dad going to the ball too?" Elizabeth asked curiously, "Is this ball any different?"
"You forget that this is the first ball Mr. Bingley gave at Longbourn." Jane shook her head.
"Ah, I forgot if you didn't tell me." Elizabeth finally remembered that because Mr. Darcy was injured that day, and Mr. Bingley focused on Jane, the dance that day was cancelled.
"By the way, Jane, is this ball hosted by Miss Bingley?" Elizabeth couldn't imagine that Mr. Bingley still had the time and energy to worry about the ball.
"Well, yes." Jane showed a sneer, "I heard that Mr. Bingley's sister and brother-in-law are also here."
"Oh, did you?" Elizabeth laughed too. They both knew Miss Bingley didn't like them, but so what.
"Welcome everyone." As soon as Mr. Bingley saw James and the others, he immediately greeted him. His eyes were fixed on Jane. He felt wronged in his heart. If it wasn't for the series of letters bombarded by his sisters at home, he really didn't want to go home and prepare. As for the dance, it doesn't matter if I'm there or not.
Too many people is troublesome. After asking everyone, including the new couple, James found a relatively quiet place to stay. Of course, it is impossible to stay quietly at the ball. Someone will bother you.Just as James stood up while pretending to hold a glass of wine, he heard such a conversation.
"Honey, is that the Miss Bennet you mentioned who made Charles faint?" The eldest lady of the Bingley family, now Mrs. Doffer pointed to Jane who was dancing with Mr. Bingley in the distance. ask.
"Yes, that's her, a country girl," said the words, but Miss Bingley did not hide her jealousy from her sister. "You don't know, ever since Charles saw her, his heart has been on her. If we hadn't been writing letters to urge him to come back today, he would not be willing to go home." Miss Bingley He said angrily that his brother had changed, and he didn't care about the sisters at all.
"What do you think? I think Charles really likes Miss Bennet." Mrs. Dove asked. In fact, she could see that the ladies in the Bennet family are too good for my sister.
"We can't let Charles go on like this, and he will be caught by her by then." Mr. Bingley said bitterly, "We must do something."
"Is this okay?" Mrs. Dove also faintly agreed. Although the lady of the Bennet family is very good, Charles is too close to her. He is not married yet, so he listens to her in everything. After marriage, Charles will still Remember their sisters?And if Miss Bennet becomes the hostess of the Bingley family in the future, the sisters cannot live with Charles casually, and the family's money cannot be spent casually.
"What's wrong, do you want Charles to marry her?" Miss Bingley sneered, "As long as Charles doesn't know, Charles will forget after a long time." Miss Bingley said confidently, she always She thinks that Mr. Bingley is infatuated with Jane for a while, and what she needs to guard against is that Mr. Bingley will marry Jane impulsively during the infatuation. She is very glad that Jane has not agreed to Mr. Bingley's marriage proposal until now, or else Things are hard to recover.
"This..." Mrs. Dove hesitated. In fact, she didn't want to be this villain. She thought it was the same thing. Anyway, people are like this. They think about many things in their hearts, but they don't actually implement them. That's it, let her do it, she will still feel guilty.
"If you don't do it, let me do it, as long as you keep it a secret." Miss Bingley rolled her eyes at Mrs. Dove angrily.
"...Okay." Mrs. Dove agreed in a low voice after being silent for a while.
After listening to it for a while, James felt bored. He happened to see Mr. Lucas, so he stopped listening.
"My buddy, are you okay?" Mr. Lucas patted James on the shoulder and said heartily.
"Well, it's still the same." James smiled.
"I heard that Mary is engaged, who is it with?" Mr. Lucas asked curiously. He had been away for a few days, and when he came back, he heard his wife say that Mary was engaged, and he began to complain about his child's marriage. I was not in the mood to listen to her complaints, so I didn't ask who the man was.
"Yes, just a few days ago." James waved to Mary and Mr. Robert, signaling them to come over.
"This is Mr. Lucas," said James to Mr. Robert.
"Hello, I'm William Robert. Nice to meet you." Mr. Robert said hello to Mr. Lucas with a smile. Since the proposal was successful, he has always been smiling to everyone.
"Nice to meet you. You must be Mary's fiancé. You and Mary are really a couple." Mr. Lucas looked at him and said.
"Thank you." Now Mr. Robert smiled more happily, and Mary stood aside with a blushing face. Even though many people had said this, she still felt shy.
"Dad, let's talk to Mary." Charlotte walked over and pointed to the girls over there, and said to Lucas.
After both Mr. Lucas and James nodded in agreement, Charlotte dragged Mary through the crowd, leaving Mr. Robert to continue chatting with James and Mr. Lucas.
"Mary, you're finally here. If Charlotte hadn't intercepted her, I think Mr. Robert would have been reluctant to let him go." As soon as he arrived, someone made fun of Mary.The girls here usually play better with Mary. Although Mary is a nerd, because of Mary's quiet temperament, she just happens to get along well with these cheerful girls. It probably complements each other. .
"Huh? Is there?" Mary lowered her head and pretended to be stupid.
"Mary forgot about us after she went to study." One of the girls who liked to tease Mary the most pretended to be aggrieved and about to cry, accusing Mary of being ruthless.
Mary was speechless. If she had to say that she was most afraid of this person, she often played tricks on her. It's better to follow along, otherwise she would have a headache.
"How could it be? One letter in those three days was not fake." Mary said cowardly.
"But why we didn't know about your engagement until today." Another girl said fiercely, as if she was about to come and tickle Mary.
"Don't be impulsive, this is a prom." Mary hurriedly reminded, lest she forget where it is.
The girl paused, and within two seconds, she looked like a lady again. What just appeared was definitely a hallucination, and only her eyes could tell that it was just letting Mary off temporarily.
"Didn't you all go out recently?" Mary finally remembered, it wasn't her intention, it's just that they were both away from home because of their own business, even though only she knew, she really forgot, shrinking her neck, this Never let them know.
"Ah, it seems to be." Everyone finally came to their senses. Mary breathed a sigh of relief, and finally got through, patiently answering their endless questions, until Mr. Robert came over before she could get away.
As soon as Mary got away, she sat aside with Mr. Robert, and happened to see Matt surrounded by a group of ladies and wives. She could see that Matt was smiling on the surface, and patiently dealt with them, but in his heart he definitely didn't like it. When he got impatient, he could tell by watching his hands unconsciously playing with the buttons on his clothes.
"Do you want to go and rescue him?" Mr. Robert also looked at Matt, secretly smiling gloatingly in his heart, but he still asked.
"No, Jane and Liz are also watching." Mary shook her head. The sisters like to see Matt like this. You know, there are not many such opportunities. Matt followed his father's habit, That's not cool at all for prom.
As soon as Mr. Robert turned his eyes, he saw that Jane and Elizabeth were also looking at Matt. The smirk on the corner of his mouth was obvious, but only those who knew it knew what it meant, and others only thought it was a lady's. Smile, the sisters on Matt's stall who like to watch his jokes must be very helpless, remember not to mess with these sister-in-laws, he believes that the remaining two should have similar temperaments.
"Honey, when do you think it would be better for Mary and William to hold their wedding?" At the ball, everyone envied her a lot, especially Mary's engagement. Everyone in Longbourn envied her, Ben Mrs. Nate was extremely happy about this, and Mary's marriage was also put on the agenda.
"It depends on the opinion of Robert's family, at least after meeting with the Robert family." James is not in a hurry.
"Well, yes, I have also met William's mother, she is easy to get along with, and she does not have the arrogance of other nobles." Mrs. Bennet was not worried that the Robert family would object. "Then hurry up and write to make an appointment to meet. The wedding is best held in autumn, and the time is a bit tight now." Mrs. Bennet urged.
"En." After James agreed, he closed his eyes and meditated.
"Sir, an urgent letter from London." As soon as James got off the carriage, the butler, Mr. Carter, walked past seriously and handed the urgent letter to James.
Everyone looked at James, urgent letter, or from London, is something serious?Everyone has a bad feeling.
Elizabeth stared blankly at herself in the mirror, thinking of what Mr. Darcy said to herself in her ear when Mr. Darcy left, the serious tone let people know that a simple person will become so tough when pushed ah.
"Liz, are you okay? It's time." Jane's voice came from outside. Elizabeth came back to her senses, put on a string of bracelets casually, and stepped out of the room, temporarily putting aside Mr. Darcy's words. Anyway, Darcy Mr. Xi should be very busy recently.
