beauty and money

Mr. Darcy felt very humiliated. He was a little angry at Mary's self-assessment. If she told them that she wanted to invite the man she liked, would they still refuse?But then he felt that he was a little too radical in this matter, and at this kind of stall, it would be better to handle it in a low-key manner.Immediately, he became angry with the man who provoked the trouble. If he hadn't been so talkative, he wouldn't have made a fuss. Secretly decided to include that man in the Darcy family's permanent household.

The man who was listed as a refusal by Mr. Darcy also felt very humiliated, but he couldn't say anything more, so he could only secretly resent it.And the other one who is a little bit embarrassed is Mr. Cavendish. He felt humiliated by Darcy's wife and sister. If this ugly woman hadn't been related to Mr. Darcy, she would never have appeared here. Besides, This inferior person brought by her simply doesn't know what to say.

Because Mr. Yang is very reliable, everyone believed in his words, so they stopped dwelling on this and all sorts of dispersal, just as a misunderstanding and a small episode, but the evaluation of Mary will inevitably be lowered when they go back.But Mary didn't pay much attention to it, she just gave Mr. Yang a very thankful look.Just now she saw Mr. Cavendish's humiliated appearance, and he walked away sullenly, taking Georgiana on his arm, not caring that Georgiana couldn't keep up with him in a gorgeous dress, Mr. Darcy Nor did Mr. Cavendish feel offended, which seemed to him nothing more than a trivial matter.But he didn't know that there is a kind of people in the world, even if their words are questioned a little or found to be inconsistent with the facts, no one notices anything wrong, they think they have been greatly humiliated, and Cavendish Mr. is just such a person, and he has developed a dissatisfaction with the Darcy family.Resenting Mary for causing trouble, Mr. Darcy's mismatched wife, and Mrs. Bennet for not knowing how to teach her daughter, it finally comes down to the man who blamed first, and he is really talkative.

The man who has been secretly hated by Mr. Cavendish has no idea that his future has been ruined. As long as someone dares to offend the Cavendish family in the slightest, what awaits them is the glory of the Cavendish family. , the offender must be punished.

Leaving aside Elizabeth, who was worried about her sister being hurt, Mrs. Bennet was going crazy. She looked at Benest with the eyes of a prospective son-in-law. Even with her super high aesthetic level, Mr. Bennet It is also perfect in appearance, she likes such a handsome and elegant gentleman, and then she followed Mr. Benest to ask about his family background.

But Mr. Benest is so slippery. He may not be smart, but he is many times better at flattering others than Collins. He avoids property issues lightly and blindly pleases Mrs. Bennet. Not being exposed is flattering Mrs. Bennet with her life.It turned out that Mrs. Bennet knew only that he was the third son of a viscount of England, had lands in Antrim, and was a good match for Mary in appearance.In fact, she didn't know that Benest didn't have a manor at all on the cattle grazing land in Antrim. It was just a farmhouse, and the contribution of the herdsmen who leased his land was pitiful, especially since his land was still bordering the Atlantic Ocean. The barren land can be called an uninhabited land for hundreds of kilometers, and the lonely pasture is not called for nothing.

What's more terrible is that the viscount himself was impoverished, and he didn't even have the capital to return to England. The three brothers basically grew up naked in the empty wasteland of Ireland. The eldest son inherited his better land and titles. The second son inherited a small manor from his mother's dowry. When it came to the third son, there were only rocky land and all kinds of rotten land. If it weren't for Benest's grandfather, an Irish businessman, who had left some annuity for Benest , this man has long since starved to death in the wasteland of Ireland.

Mr. Benest felt that he had been drawn out of so many backgrounds without knowing it, and suddenly felt that Mrs. Bennet was difficult to deal with. He would not talk about the location of the piece of land he inherited unless it was absolutely necessary, because anyone with a little common sense They look down on the Irishmen, whether they are the nobles of England or not.But Mrs. Bennet never has such a view of the family. Her Mary can marry, and she will thank God for his kindness, especially if she is handsome. Mr. Bennet, who turned to the young man, what a fine young man's son.It can be said that Mrs. Bennet is a woman who only looks at her appearance, not her inner self.

As for Miss Mary, she was naturally glad that someone flattered her mother, otherwise she would have been the one to be questioned.Then she went to thank Mr. Yang, but she didn't save people at all to save Mr. Benest who was being harassed by Mrs. Bennet.

On one side, Mr. Yang blamed himself for his lies. What if Mr. Cavendish hated him? The uncle of Mr. Cavendish is an important figure in the Royal Society of Science, and his future might be ruined .Although he blamed himself, he still chose to help Mary. He had many conflicts with Miss Mary, but at the critical moment he agreed with Miss Mary's sense of justice.

This unattractive lady has a braver heart than a man, and she is Mrs. Darcy's sister. This relationship will definitely make many people look up to her.Because of Mr. Yang's help at the critical moment, Mary changed her opinion of him a little bit, but the two of them were tit for tat in words. She seemed to have gained a lot of knowledge from Mr. Yang's conversation without knowing it. Sciences such as chemistry and astronomy that are out of reach, Mary, who has a strong desire to acquire knowledge, has never seen these books in bookstores and other places.Those bookstores are full of artificial love novels, horror and bizarre anecdotes, but never a book about science, and those books seem to be limited.

Following the conversation with Mr. Yang, Mary made a bold request: "I am very interested in hearing the science you described. I wonder if I can borrow books on this subject?"

Mr. Yang is very embarrassed. He doesn't like to discuss this topic with ladies. They don't understand what science is at all. However, Mary, as Mrs. Darcy's sister, has changed a little because he has just helped her. If she refuses now It would be difficult to offend the Darcy family, and he didn't think Mary was the same as those ignorant women and children. She had a little spirituality, but science is really not what women should know.

With such doubts, Mr. Yang tried to persuade Mary to give up this idea. He said: "Miss Bennet, with all due respect, these books are difficult to understand, and it is difficult to understand without practice. As far as the iris theory I am studying now, It is too scary to actually observe the anatomy of the human body. Most astronomy also requires very professional equipment to assist in the observation. At least your current conditions do not have the prerequisites for conducting experiments. Reading those scientific magazines is probably like a book .”

"Mr. Yang, you really worry too much. I don't just love poetry, poetry, or novels. I also like to read some other books. Knowledge is common. If you want, please send your school books to me. Lend it to me, I believe that even if I really can't understand, it will be of some benefit to me." Mary has been with Mr. Yang, and Mr. Yang noticed other people's comments, and he felt that their conversation could not go on, so It would be hot to criticize, especially since Mary had just publicly admitted that she had invited a gentleman to the ball.

"Okay, I'll mail it to you, but if you can't read or cherish them, then please forgive me, and I may not lend them to you again." Mr. Yang hurriedly wrote down Mary's address, pondering He lent her very basic books. On the one hand, he did not believe that a lady would have the patience to read these books, and on the other hand, he tried to find some introductory books to lend her.

Mary was very happy to get the answer. What she loves is knowledge itself, not limited to a certain kind.Most people don't understand why people who like to read and study think about such tedious things and take pleasure in it, but Mary feels that it must be possible to use the brain to operate the most complicated things in the world and gain knowledge to re-examine everything around her. It is the happiest thing in the world.

Of course, beautiful people cherish the beauty of grooming themselves more, and of course kind people are more happy to help others. Rich people naturally want to manage their own wealth, and smart people naturally love learning knowledge more, hoping that these qualities can make themselves Stand out from the crowd.

The books that Mr. Yang promised to lend her were definitely not accessible to those ladies. Even when she looked at Elizabeth, who was considered very smart by her father, she did not have the opportunity to read it. She seemed to feel a sense of superiority over the older The joy and excitement of knowledge that some British girls are exposed to.

On the other side, Mr. Bennett, who was being questioned by Mrs. Bennet, was not happy at all. He flattered Mrs. Bennet carefully, and Mrs. Bennet seemed not to notice his occasional omissions. She looked rosy and excited. Smiling all the time, her little Mary finally ushered in spring, which made her happier than anything else. The marriage of her children was definitely the most important thing in her life, even surpassing her own husband.

Just when Benest was exhausted, he found that the conversation between Mary and the gentleman had ended. He knew very well that the gentleman knew the inside story, so he didn't dare to go forward, but at this moment their conversation was over, and Bennes Mr. Te immediately apologized, and he wanted to go to Mary's side. Mrs. Bennet told them to chat together, and she would not disturb the young couple unwisely.

After Mr. Benest came to Mary, he thanked her in embarrassment, but received Mary's eyes. danced.

In the eyes of Mrs. Bennet at the side, it is simply a sign that she will be proposed tomorrow, and her beloved daughter is finally getting married. She must go back and discuss the dowry with the old man, and try not to leave property for that Collins. We must find a way to convert everything that can be converted into pounds into pounds. Except for the land and houses that are limited to inheritance, she will not leave him a single son.

Mrs. Bennet, who had made up her mind, held a glass of wine and began to show off everywhere, saying that she had found a good son-in-law. After Mrs. Bennet praised her everywhere, after Mr. Bennett became a viscount, the honorable A gentleman of considerable wealth, he is handsome and personable, and he falls in love with Mary even more.

Elizabeth was very disturbed by her mother's lies. She had a premonition that this incident would be the same as the Collins incident, and it would become more difficult to deal with in the end.What worries her the most is her sister. She is very clear about Mary's appearance and dowry, and this son-in-law, whom Mrs. Bennet touts, looks very good. If his conditions are true, then why should he be interested in appearance? What about Mary, who is short of money and wealth?This unequal love is really worrying. She is very afraid that her sister will be hurt, but there is no evidence to refute her mother's remarks.

The more in-depth conversations with Mr. Benest, the more Mary realized that this man is really empty, but fortunately, he is more easy-going, maybe it is okay to say stupid, there is no sense of sarcasm at all, and a pun is also useless. And it seems that she automatically filters what she wants to hear. Shouldn't she help such a shameless person just because of a moment of anger?No, she wasn't here to help this guy, but to keep Cavendish from coming to power, that's all, Mary thought firmly.

After the dance, the tired crowd gradually dispersed. Mary was also a little tired, because she hadn't eaten anything at night, and now she was hungry. It's a pity that she didn't want to trouble her sister, and the servants were already very tired. .In the middle of the night, she was a little hungry and uncomfortable, so she tiptoed to the entertainment room in her pajamas. She remembered that there were still a few biscuits there, and her bad habit of fondling night tours would never change.She felt like the whole world was hers while everyone else was asleep.

Because the entertainment room is just downstairs from the guest room, the candles were extinguished in the corridor, and the footsteps of the servants watching the night were far away, so Mary boldly ran out in her pajamas. When she passed by her mother's room, Mrs. Bennet There was a snoring sound coming from the door, and she walked over cautiously without making a sound. When she gently pushed the door and entered, under the faint moonlight, she saw a figure in white sitting on a chair with her arms resting on her forehead.

"Who?" The voice was Georgiana, who was obviously frightened.

"Shh, it's me." Mary lowered her voice, for fear of alarming others. She still remembered the trouble she caused during her last night outing.

With her words, Georgiana seemed relieved, she looked very unruly with her bare feet.Mary saw the water on her cheek by the faint moonlight, and guessed that she was hiding here and crying.She said nothing, but groped for cookies and ate some.

"Why don't you go back to your room? Go back quickly." Seeing that Georgiana was still sitting there motionless, pale like a ghost, Mary reminded her worriedly.

"I'll be back later. I dropped the pin here during the day, and I have to look for it." Georgiana still didn't move, and Mary sighed to herself.She lost her pin, she can find it during the day or send a servant, this is obviously an excuse, I'm afraid she doesn't want to go back to the room, Mary noticed before leaving that the chair she was sitting on was Mr Lefroy's during the day Yes, she may care about this young man more than she imagined, but since she chose the repulsive Cavendish, she must give up her emotions.

After Mary left, Georgiana stood up. In fact, Mary didn't notice that there was a copy of "The Sorrows of Young Werther" on the table in front of her. This book was given to Georgiana by Lefroy before he left. After that, he set off to leave immediately. When he parted, he didn't talk about his pain and infatuation, and he didn't express any blame to her. He just blessed her very calmly and gave her a book expressing his love.
