beauty and money

Mary endured the pain and ran to Rosings' garden. Before that, she just had a premonition, and felt uneasy and anxious after Mr. Yang interrupted the communication.But now, she has clearly warned herself not to make the same mistakes as Cousin Collins did, not to pay for love, not to hope for any love and marriage, but at this moment, no amount of warnings or prohibitions can stop her pain. She left without face again, she felt so shameless, so ridiculous.

She wanted to take it lightly, as if Mr. Yang's pointed words were pointless at all, but she knew it was self-deception, had expectations for others, met again and again and developed a good impression, and gradually sank into correspondence, even Corresponding with him as an unmarried woman is a kind of transgression.

Compared with losing love, Mary cares more about losing her self and dignity. She is ashamed to shed tears, but she opens her eyes pale and feebly, as if there would be no tears if she opened her eyes wide.Big teardrops rolled down, and the emotions mixed with humiliation and even more shame broke her down. Standing in the gorgeous manor, which was also brightly lit in the night, she looked at the bright light from the ten thousand pound glass, Suddenly wanting to abandon all this prosperity and live in a place far away from the hustle and bustle, it is better to be alone than to be ashamed like this.

"Mary, come to me." A lady stepped out of the night garden, and she stretched out her arms to embrace Mary.She saw everything just now, Mary collapsed and buried herself in her shoulders, all the pain turned into soft cries, she couldn't cry loudly, she couldn't even lose her dignity, at this moment, the relationship between her and Mrs. The contradictions seemed to disappear, and Mary succumbed, she succumbed to her emotions, let reason and logic, her proud reservedness and calmness all knelt down in front of her emotions, and she finally admitted her stupidity.

After crying, Mary looked at Mrs. Graillis, and the lady said, "Mary, I want to apologize to you. I should have concealed you, and I shouldn't have taken advantage of you. After you left, I regretted so much, but out of ego, I fought back my regrets, but I couldn't stop thinking about apologizing to you, and I'm ashamed of what I said and what I did that day."

"No, don't say that. I have benefited from you, but I have never thanked you. I am worried about this good fortune and enjoy it. Out of anger and arrogance, I have severed contact with you, and I am sorry for that. "

"I have looked for you, but found nothing. I have come to Rosings Manor to find you. Mary, will you help me? I beg you, help me, because I have no other choice but you." Mrs. Graillis was in tears, the corners of her eyes were wrinkled, and her skin began to sag, as if the mask and disguise had been removed, and she was no longer a noble and elegant lady, but a grieving woman, an aging woman.

But at this time, Mary was really not in the mood to agree, she just kept silent, and Mrs. Gralice obviously sensed her emotions, so she didn't say anything, but apologized to Mary repeatedly and confirmed Mary's next itinerary.And I hope to have the opportunity to explain the whole story. The breakup between the two was originally caused by a moment of anger, and because the two refused to give in for the sake of face, it led to a complete severance. Now Mrs. Grace sincerely pleads To loosen Mary, she promises to accept her visit, to explain the misunderstanding.

Mrs. Graillis left early, hesitating to speak. The purpose of her trip was to find Mary.And Mary herself didn't want to stay at Rosings Manor for a minute, but she was no longer the girl who would cry and run back to the hotel. She had to maintain the dignity and honor of her family, so when she returned to the ball again, she was already Clean up your mess and stay with your mother as if nothing happened.

At night, the Bennet mother and daughter are arranged to live in the guest room. Charlotte always strives to take care of the Bennet mother and daughter as best she can. Although her relationship with Elizabeth has faded, as Bennet's heir and relative , and so should she.

The mother and daughter did not live in Rosings as relatives of Mrs. De Bourgh, but as relatives of Mrs. Charlotte Collins. This made Lydia feel that she and the servants were in the same class, which made her very uncomfortable She despises Charlotte's self-defeating behavior as the eldest daughter of the jazz, but they are so comfortable thanks to the care of the half-powerful Rosings.After all, Mrs. de Bourgh's distant relatives were very different from Mrs. Collins's cousins.

Although Lydia didn't like Charlotte's self-indulgence, she still accepted the spacious and luxurious guest room with peace of mind. After the mother and daughter went to bed, Charlotte was busy until the early morning to tidy up the guest room after the guests left. In a mess, she returned to sleep in her exclusive room in Rosings wearily.She and Collins had two sons, and Mrs. de Bower completely entrusted the management of Rosings' affairs to her, so she had her own exclusive room in Rosings and seldom went home.For the wife's neglect of the family to serve the De Bauer family.Collins was very happy. He always felt that his decision to marry Charlotte was very wise. Charlotte was diligent and practical, and she was very reliable and appropriate in her affairs. Her position in Rosings became more stable and popular.And he himself has the favor of Mrs. De Bourgh, and he can become a master when Mr. Bennet dies and he inherits his fields, houses and tenants.As for the care of the children, the servants will naturally do it for them, which is completely out of his consideration.

In the early morning of the next day, Mary, who had complicated thoughts, almost stayed up all night. She barely closed her eyes because of exhaustion until dawn, until her mother and Lydia urged her to visit their nasty cousin today, the one who made Mary Collins felt uncomfortable.

The mention of Collins Mary reminded her of her embarrassment and remorse for repeating the same mistakes yesterday, so that she was so upset that she wished she could die at once to get rid of this annoying torment.However, it is impossible to visit Rosings Manor without visiting Collins. Perhaps everyone in the Bennet family hates Collins, but they have to be polite and polite to him.

They walked to Collins' house led by Charlotte. The house was not too big, but it was well-furnished, warm and delicate, and the aesthetic level was very elegant.After seeing the house, Mary's displeasure subsided a little. The house was just like its own. The seemingly mediocre and honest Charlotte was indeed a woman who was good at living and very talented in housekeeping. If she had good looks, Then someone like Collins is totally unworthy of her.

Because of Bennet's visit, Collins specially returned home from the church to greet him. Today is not Sunday and there is no need to preach. The priest has already checked some documents that need to be checked, and Collins only needs to sign.He was wearing silk homely clothes, and he looked fatter, which made him even more ridiculous in the eyes of the mother and daughter of the Ban family.

I haven't seen her for a few years, but this cousin is still complimenting her all the time, making Mrs. Bennet smile all over her face, but her words are less flattering and more tactful, so that she looks completely different from her former self-proclaimed appearance.

"I haven't seen you for a few years, but Cousin Mary is as handsome as ever." Collins, who led the mother and daughter to sit down, suddenly threw the topic at Mary, which made Mary stunned. After a few seconds, she smiled reluctantly and said: " You are really overrated." Mary's slow response obviously made both parties a little embarrassed, but fortunately Lydia was noisy enough to attract everyone's attention.

Mary really didn't know Collins' intention to talk to her. Although she didn't make it clear, Collins must have sensed her favor at the time, but he ignored it and deliberately avoided it. There was really nothing to say between the two, and it was in front of Charlotte. Since The whole Bennet family knew about it, so it is hard to guarantee that the Lucas family and Mrs. Long's family did not hear about it. Thinking of this, Mary was so ashamed that she wanted to get into the cracks in the ground.

Anyway, from the moment Collins appeared, Mary felt uncomfortable. She was secretly saddened by Mr. Yang's clear attitude yesterday, and blamed herself for being too frivolous and shameless. Compliments and small talk.

"So, is there any good news about Mary's cousin's marriage?" For some unknown reason, Collins brought the topic to Mary again, and directly hit Mrs. Bennet's pain point. Mary's marriage problem has always been Banner's The most troublesome question for the Te family, I thought that Mrs. Bennet, who was contemptuous and picky and secretly satirized him just now, would be speechless when asked.But obviously Collins underestimated Mrs. Bennet's sophistication and frivolity towards men and women, and Mrs. Bennet proudly puffed up her chest and said, "A son of a well-born viscount is pursuing Mary, and they will be engaged soon. "As soon as Mrs. Bennet said this, Mary immediately felt her head dizzy and dizzy. She didn't know whether she was too angry or ashamed. She obviously didn't expect her mother to speak out again, regardless of her reputation. and decent.

The trembling of Mary's body obviously made Collins aware that something was wrong, and he asked again: "Congratulations, I'm so surprised! Then, may I have the honor to know the other party's name and background?" Collins' sinister intentions are obvious Jie, he would not be surprised if Mary could get married. After all, there are countless poor country bumpkins, hooligans, speculators, and small traders who would want a country squire as a wife, but the marriages of the Bennet family are very beautiful. , which greatly raised the status of the Bennet family among the local squires. If Mr. Bennet hadn't been a fool, he wouldn't have let his daughter marry a commoner, thus making the married daughter lose face and lowering his own style.But he heard it right, a nobleman, of course the son of a viscount is nothing, but he is also a nobleman, if he is not disabled, looks ugly, or is extremely degraded, that's why he married Mary Bennet. It can be said that Collins has become more sophisticated over the years.

"He owns a large piece of land and a manor in Antrim, although he is only the third son of the viscount..." Mrs. Bennet talked endlessly about the son-in-law in her heart, and out of vanity, he was even stronger than Mr. Benest. The ambiguous boast is even more exaggerated and untrue, thinking that even marrying the earl's daughter is a perfect match, and she has a firm affection with Mary.

"Mother, don't talk anymore. We should leave. Mr. Collins certainly doesn't want us to disturb him any longer. After all, we are not qualified to ask him to attend." Mary was ashamed and angry, and wanted to stop her mother from speaking out, but she was afraid of embarrassment and being noticed Mrs. Bennet's boast.Therefore, she brought up matters such as attendance, and Mrs. Bennet suddenly understood the little misunderstandings between Mary and Collins. She felt that although the Bennet family did not attend Collins' wedding, it was just a whim and she should be invited. Collins came to Mary's engagement to ease the relationship between the two families.

In the eyes of Collins, Mary's restraint has another meaning. This poor cousin still loves herself, but has to enter into a marriage due to social pressure. She doesn't want to mention this unhappy marriage in front of her. Still in love with myself.

Seeing Mrs. Bennet's convincing words, Collins guessed that this should be bragging, but he also suspected that if it was true, he would never be able to attend the engagement. This made him feel uncomfortable, so he might as well promise it now. If you are really invited, just shirk it.

On the one hand, he wondered if the obtrusive Mrs. Bennet was boasting, but on the other hand, he couldn't stand Mary's real engagement.In fact, he is both disdainful and complacent about Mary's admiration for himself. Being loved by a woman can always satisfy a man's vanity. The embrace of a man made him uncomfortable again.It would be better if Mary never married, then he can proudly say that there is a lady who loves him to the point of madness, and he is loyal to marriage and family, and refuses her love so that she will never marry.For such sinister intentions out of vanity and pride, Mary would never think of it. She just felt that her mother's words really made her lose face, and she didn't want to stay here anymore.

Mrs. Bennet also saw that her daughter's complexion was not good, so she didn't stay any longer, but was pulled back into the car by Mary. As for Lydia, she thought that Charlotte had become Mrs. De Bourgh's servant. For no reason, they were a head shorter than Mrs. de Bourgh. Her visit to Charlotte and Collins' house was like visiting a servant's house. She really degraded her status and was thinking of leaving early.

After the mother and daughter returned to Rosings Manor, Mary's face sank, and she immediately sent her servants to prepare the carriage and return to Longbourne. They planned to stay for a few more days, and Mr. Darcy would come to pick them up when Elizabeth's day was more serious. They went to London to visit Elizabeth, but Mary's apparent anger made Mrs. Bennet baffled.

"My God, my God, I don't know why you are always angry. I really have a headache. Don't you like Collins that much? Although I am tired of him, we are relatives after all, and he will inherit you Father’s field house, if we fight against him, he will drive us away at that time!!” Mrs. Bennet hated Collins very much, but Collins promised that Mrs. Bennet would still have Lambert after Mr. Bennet’s death. The right to live in En Manor until she also leaves, so that she has nowhere to go.For this promise, Mrs. Bennet could only endure her nausea and try to ease the relationship with the Collins family. She thought it was all wrong for doing all this, including intentionally inviting Collins to the engagement, but Mary always cared about what she had received. Ignore and humiliate.

Mary couldn't help sneering when she heard Mrs. Bennet's words. She knew that Mrs. Bennet didn't realize what annoyed her at all. Mrs. Bennet's character has always been chasing rumors. She was ashamed to death when there was no news, and she also misled Collins to entangle Elizabeth, which made her self-conscious and shameless. Now, she still does not change her frivolous and frivolous nature, which makes her helpless and distraught.
