"Oh, Mom, I heard that the day the militia came, it was very impressive." Lydia said with a pity that she didn't meet her at home during this rare time.

"Ah, yes, I've heard that too. Those lads are very energetic. I met one today. What's his name? Ah, by the way, it's Mr. Wickham. He speaks softly and politely, which is really pleasing ” Mrs. Bennet said with admiration.It can be seen that she has a good impression of Mr. Wickham.

"Oh, Mom, I also know Mr. Wickham, many people like him very much." Lydia also agreed, he is indeed very handsome, "But Mom, you haven't gone out these few days, on their day off , You can see them everywhere in the street, wearing red clothes."

James has been paying attention to their content when they talked about the recent militia group. Sure enough, Mr. Wickham still appeared, but it was only because of their family's visit. It hasn't been long since they came back, so Mr. Wickham didn't treat the girls at home either. Be courteous.Seeing Lydia's current state, she doesn't have any special feelings for Mr. Wickham, and she is finally half relieved, and it is worthy of his strict requirements on her since she was a child.

"I only know that those militiamen are the best at flattering girls." Elizabeth couldn't understand those militiamen, and couldn't help but refute Mrs. Bennet and Lydia's optimism towards the militiamen.

"That's right, I've also heard that many of the militiamen stationed nearby are here to dawdle, and many of them are people without inheritance rights who are here to find a way out." Matt also quickly agreed with Elizabeth's words, He was afraid that if he was careless for a while, he would have a brother-in-law from the militia in the future, which would be really terrible.Although there should be no such thing in the family with a father in charge, but I am not afraid of ten thousand, just in case.

"Why, did they offend you? You just don't like it." Mrs. Bennet said in surprise, looking at Elizabeth and Matt as if they had a problem with the militia.

Lydia also looked curiously at Elizabeth, then at Matt.

"What I said is the truth, Mom." Matt said frankly, what he said was true, and he really didn't like the militia in his heart.

"Mother Ao, that group of people here will find a chance to chat and make fun of the girls whenever they have free time. I can't stand it." Elizabeth said with a frown.

"Jane, what's the matter with you? You have been absent-minded all night." James looked at Jane who had been silent all night, and was a little worried. Was it because of Mr. Bingley?It doesn't look like it, and there is no look of sadness and grievance.

"Dad, I was just thinking about something." Jane said with a smile.

James nodded and let go. As for Mary, since she got engaged and set a wedding date, Mary has been busy, and the rest of her time is also used to write letters. Now Mary is immersed in writing letters. Well, it looks like it’s already three thick sheets, and I don’t know what method Mr. Robert used to make Mary write so many words. In the past, Mary’s family letter could fill a sheet, which is considered a lot.Even though he was curious, he would not be ashamed to ask.

"Liz, shall we go and see some ribbons later? I want to change some more colorful ones, but I don't seem to have any at home. I don't know if there are any in the store in the town." Lydia lively held Elizabeth's arms, watching the lively crowd pass by with a soft voice.

"Aren't you satisfied with the ones at home? You should know that those are special ones. It is a complete set together with our clothes, and it would be better if you buy other ones." Elizabeth said noncommittally, letting Lydia Pulling around, if Lydia hadn't said that she hadn't been in the town for a long time, she wouldn't have come out, and now she could feel that some people were discussing them behind their backs.

"That's true, but let's go and have a look. It's so exciting to watch, and you might bump into something good. This is what Dad told us." Lydia was not persuaded by Elizabeth. Still walking forward enthusiastically.

"Who are those two ladies?"

"Ah, they are the daughters of the Bennet family here." The person who was asked looked at the person who asked the question first, saw that it was a militiaman, and was gentle and polite, and then quickly answered, as if they were used to it Someone else asked him this question.

"Bennet, is that the viscount here?" Mr. Wickham's eyes flashed, and then they were drowned.

"Yes, Lord Viscount."

"Thank you." Mr. Wickham thanked politely, and Shi Shi walked to the side to observe the two Miss Bennet carefully, squinting his eyes, wondering what he was thinking.

"Oh, I'm sorry I bumped into the two ladies, are you all right?" Mr. Wickham pretended to be in a hurry when Elizabeth and Lydia arrived at the corner, and bumped into them as expected.

"Oh, it's okay." Elizabeth and Lydia stood firm and said softly.In fact, he didn't hit it, it was just that after being frightened, he retreated inertially and didn't stand still for a while.

"Oh, I know, you are Mr. Wickham." Lydia looked up at the person who bumped into them, and immediately recognized Mr. Wickham.

"I am." Mr. Wickham immediately said humbly, but Elizabeth saw the flash of pride in his eyes. Elizabeth was even more disliked by Mr. Wickham. She already had prejudices against the entire militia group, but now Didn't like Mr. Wickham anymore, but didn't show it on his face.

"I'm sorry I was in a hurry." Mr. Wickham apologized again.

"It's okay, nothing happened to us, we still have something to do, so let's go first." Elizabeth didn't want to get along with Mr. Wickham for too long, so she pulled Lydia and left. Lydia wanted to say something, but Elizabeth didn't give her Chance.

Mr. Wickham looked at the backgrounds of Elizabeth and Lydia with a complicated expression, and seemed to be thinking of a good way.

"Liz, I want to chat with Mr. Wickham for a while, and find out what life is like in the barracks." Lydia complained behind Elizabeth.

"I think that Mr. Wickham is uneasy and kind, so we should keep contact with him less in the future." Elizabeth left this sentence and ignored Lydia and continued to move forward.

Lydia followed quickly. "Liz, how can you tell that he is restless and kind? I think he is fine." Lydia asked curiously.

"You are still young, just remember what I said." Elizabeth said helplessly, how to explain, Lydia would not understand anyway.

"You all say I'm young, I'm too young, and I'm going too soon." Speaking of this age issue, Lydia was very reconciled. When she got home, she found out that her father still didn't allow her to attend the prom. It was really aggrieved.

"Really, I remember you are only 17 years old, you still have at least one year to study?" Elizabeth said with all her strength.

"Oh, Liz, can't you not mention this?" Lydia was also distressed. If her mother hadn't begged for mercy, she would still be in school now.

"No, I'm reminding you. And what does daddy not like about us and the militiamen? You know, even if we are friends, daddy doesn't like it. Besides, you should know..." Elizabeth didn't say anything And then, Lydia understood too.

"You know, I'm really not a child." Lydia said impatiently.

"We sisters haven't come here for a walk for a long time." Lydia said happily.

"Yeah, I haven't been here for a long time. It's just that Matt has been busy recently, so he should have brought Matt along." Jane looked around with nostalgia. This is where they played since they were young. After growing up, I seldom come here.

"How are you, Kitty? Don't you feel better when you're out?"

"Don't worry, Mary, I've been cured long ago." Kitty acted like a baby to Mary. God knows, because of her body, her mother didn't allow her to go out. It feels really bad to be bored at home.

"I see that you will not take good care of yourself in the future." Elizabeth said helplessly, nodding her head when she heard what Kitty said.

"I will definitely pay attention to it in the future." Others also looked over, and Kitty hurriedly assured her.

"Hey, look, is that Mr. Wickham?" Suddenly Lydia pointed loudly and said.

"Where? Oh, Mr. Wickham, I think."

"Why did he come here?" Elizabeth was deeply displeased.

"Oh, Liz, don't be like this, this is not our home, anyone will come." Lydia was very puzzled why Elizabeth disliked Mr. Wickham so much.

"Hello, five Miss Bennetts." Soon, Mr. Wickham walked up to them, pretending to be surprised to see them.

"Hello, Mr. Wickham."

"The scenery here is very nice." Mr. Wickham said in a good mood. After waiting for so long, he finally waited for them to come. Mr. Wickham felt that he was really lucky today.

"Ah, we grew up here since we were young." Lydia said happily.

"Then, I think this kind lady will introduce me to Longbourne?" Wickham said in a playful voice, obviously, this is very popular with the little girls, and at least Lydia is very happy to do it. Mr. Wickham introduced what she knew.

Jane and the other four helplessly looked at Lydia who had entered an overactive state again, but nothing would happen if they watched, so they let her go. As for Mr. Wickham, they all saw what was going on. I'm afraid that Lydia will be deceived in the future.

"Oh, Jane, who did you think it was? It was Mr. Bingley and Mr. Darcy, right? Am I right? I remember they were not in Longbourne?" Elizabeth tugged at Jane's sleeve, her eyes wide open. , not sure.

When Jane heard this, she squinted her eyes and looked in the direction Elizabeth was pointing at. She was sure that it was Mr. Bingley and Mr. Darcy, both of whom were riding horses.Mr. Bingley and Mr. Darcy got off their horses not far away and walked over slowly, but it can be seen that Mr. Bingley was restrained by Mr. Darcy so that he would not lose his composure and run over.

"Oh, dear Jane." Mr. Bingley had already rushed to Jane, and the sparkle in his eyes almost blinded their eyes.

"Mr. Bingley, I think I need an explanation." Jane stared at Mr. Bingley for a while, and found that his face was tired, his clothes were not as neat as usual, and his hair looked like it hadn't been washed for a long time. Finally, her heart softened. Didn't ignore him like originally planned.

"Oh, of course, I will explain." Mr. Bingley said hastily, relieved.

Elizabeth is not in the mood to watch Jane's good show, and Mr. Darcy is so deep that he can't see the bottom, but she just knows that Mr. Darcy is angry, because she hasn't given him an answer or replied to his letter until now.

"Kitty, look, Mr. Wickham helped me pick this flower." Lydia came out from the corner holding a beautiful bouquet, and Mr. Wickham followed behind.

Mr. Darcy stared at Mr. Wickham for a moment, with a storm brewing in his eyes, and he kept silent. Everyone felt the strangeness in it and kept silent.
