Chapter 48 Miss De Bauer
After meeting with his wife, Mary was in a very depressed state. She didn't want to show it in front of her mother's hospital bed, but she really felt very tired.As she got older, she became more and more unwilling to face the future, to be nosy, and to stop paying attention to many things, as if the interpersonal relationships around her made her feel tired.
Mrs. Bennet was lying on the hospital bed and asked ramblingly whether the handsome young man could come. She wished she could write a letter in person. Unfortunately, Mary wisely did not disclose the correspondence address of the gentleman. In fact, Mary did not know the address of the gentleman. where is sir now.
When the afternoon tea time came, Charlotte came to inform the mother and daughter that Miss De Bourgh had recovered a little and she would come to their afternoon tea. Rosings had a few other guests besides Mary, the mother and the daughter. A relative and family member from Mrs. de Bauer's side stayed as a guest. They all had young talents they recommended. It's very boring, and because of the hopeless love mood, she doesn't talk to them, but Lydia has a good chat with them. As for Mrs. Bennet, she is still sick and did not attend, but if she knows that this afternoon tea is If it was held for what, then she would regret being so 'sick'.
Among the few present, the one dressed in gold and vulgar was Mrs. Lane, Mrs. de Bower's sister-in-law, who had always coveted Rosings. She introduced Anna to a nephew of her own, who seemed to be quite A good-looking person but his mind is all on property.The same as her is Mrs. Victor, she is Mrs. de Bower's cousin, she introduced her second son, the man is honest and honest, but he is too stupid and often makes surprising and self-righteous behaviors.These two were the main competitors, and the young people introduced by other people were either born in poverty, which Mrs. de Bourgh looked down on, or they were ugly or had some kind of defect, or they were simply widowers who had lost their wives.
"Good afternoon, Mrs. Victor." Mrs. Lane greeted her in a bad tone after she sat down. Mrs. Victor sneered and did not reply, but the atmosphere between the two made everyone present uncomfortable. The weather, bridge, jewelry and so on to change the subject.
Miss De Bauer came out from the door very quickly. The servants came in orderly and offered exquisite refreshments before leaving silently. After sitting down, Miss De Bourgh coughed a few times, Although the summer is hot and dry, she still has a low-grade fever. This seasonal cough is not at its worst now, and her complexion is much better than in spring and autumn.Charlotte on the side thoughtfully took some cushions for her back to make her feel more comfortable.Lydia rolled her eyes at this and snorted softly. This servant's job is getting smoother and smoother. In the past, my mother always compared the Lucas family with her own family. There used to be a Sir in the Lucas family. Now, hehe , is not getting more and more useless.
Although Lydia is not as frivolous and innocent as she was when she was a girl after she got married, her temperament has not changed much, and she is still somewhat arrogant. Miss Anna de Bourgh looked down on her faintly.
Regardless of the state of mind of the ladies present, Anna De Bourgh was still very polite and kind. Her voice was very low, her strength was not very strong, and her delicate voice was trembling a little.After the greetings, Mrs. Lane began to inquire about Miss De Bourger's attitude in a different way.
"Anna, there were so many young talents at the banquet last time. I'm afraid only the De Bauer family has such ability. I wonder which one do you favor?" Mrs. Lane has always been quick-spoken. Asked, Miss de Bauer couldn't help but blush, she is sensitive and shy, and she doesn't want to mention her marriage too much, and she didn't like the gentlemen at the banquet that day, not because she was too picky, but because she compared secretly Cousin Darcy, it’s always not as good as it is, and their attention is even more frightening to Miss de Bourgh. She is really a little afraid of those men’s approaching, which makes her feel embarrassed and oppressed. She had a rebellious mentality, and although she did not reject it, she did not accept it either, which made Mrs. de Bourgh angry.
Miss De Bower obviously did not expect Aunt Lane to be so direct, and she immediately felt a little embarrassed.She lowered her head as if she didn't want to talk, and Mrs. Lane didn't think that Miss De Bauer didn't have the basic politeness to communicate with others. She chose to ignore the questions she didn't want to answer instead of saying perfunctory words. It's annoying to be submissive again.
"Some people just don't have self-knowledge. Who doesn't know what you're up to. If you ask me to say that marriage is a matter of marriage, it's better to be of the same family." Mrs. Victor's second son came from a noble family, but as the second son, he cannot inherit the title. His character and appearance are not very good, coupled with his stupid personality, many women from the same background as her look down on him, and Mrs. Victor, who is not from a good background, is quite disgusted. It is Miss de Bourger's weak personality and Being born very much to her liking, she felt that Mrs. Lane's nephew was pompous, and spared no effort to belittle
.
"It's not me who has no self-knowledge. Your son is as stupid as those country folks who are only worthy of pig food. Why don't you let him go back into your skirt." Mrs. Lane immediately retorted and insulted without aristocratic etiquette. For a moment, the wives all exclaimed, her words were too vulgar, while Mrs. Victor's face flushed with anger, she stood up abruptly and shouted, "How dare you say that..." Seeing the two wives A big fight was about to take place, and Miss De Bourgh flushed and coughed angrily.
"Ladies, for God's sake, you must exercise restraint." Charlotte rushed to mediate between the two, and the ladies were amazed at the vulgarity of the de Bourghes' relatives.It's not that they are usually vulgar, but that they are jealous of Rosings' property, and Miss De Bourgh is obviously weak and sick. After marriage, she will definitely be strictly controlled by her husband's family. Rosings manor and its property are not easy to get, so Only then did they fight regardless of their status.
Faced with these people's temptations, Miss De Bourgh really didn't want to stay here any longer, and the wives talked about young people, and she liked her too.She whispered to Charlotte, and was about to get up and leave. Charlotte did not expect that these ladies' greed for Rosings could be so disregarding of face, that she could only let the unhappy Miss de Bourgh leave.
Mary felt sorry for Miss de Bourgh when she saw the wives who were talking and sarcasm each other. She had so many bad relatives, but she was not qualified to sympathize with others, and she had a troublesome mother in her own family.
Miss De Bourner's departure did not affect the afternoon tea at all. Everyone came here to inquire about each other's situation. Since Miss De Bourner did not make a clear statement, all of them had a chance.Lydia didn't get too involved in these matters. She always looked down on those people who flattered the De Bourgh family, and everyone talked about their nephews, or belittled others for not being married.
Mary was absent-minded, and she didn't interrupt. Finally, she and Lydia asked to leave the banquet under the pretext of taking care of their mother. They didn't know that the wives who had no restraint had been trying to avoid each other all afternoon, fighting like black-eyed chickens.It was Charlotte who came to pass the word, saying that Miss de Bourgh had heard that Miss Mary loved reading, and she very much hoped that she could come and read to her.
Mary knew that Miss De Bourgh had something to say to herself, and her suspicion of her behavior that day made her see the clues. In fact, as long as people around her pay attention, her actions that night really cannot be concealed from others, but everyone's attention In the case of that rich girl, there are much fewer people who give her an ugly girl.Feeling apprehensive, Mary came to Miss De Bourgh's reception room. Different from the magnificent reception room just now, this reception room only has simple furniture, and everything is very rough, without curly lines and gold-red decorations. The decoration is very solemn. It seems that Ms. De Bourger does not like luxury things. She prefers light and elegant decoration. There are blooming camellias on the coffee table. The camellias are not in this period, so it can be seen that they are cultivated in a greenhouse, and the color is pink and tender. Make this hot summer a bit cooler.
It was not until here that Mary calmed down. The room was not hot, the windows were open, and a summer fragrance wafted in from outside. From here, one could see the mysterious garden of Rosings, where the colorful flowers and reds were very gentle.Sitting in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, Miss De Bourg changed into a duck-egg blue gauze dress. Her back looked very beautiful, but her body was thin and desolate, and she looked a little lonely sitting among these flowers.
When Miss de Bourgh heard the door knock, she knew that the guests she had invited had arrived, so she turned around and looked at Mary from the singing of flowers and birds. She was still as indifferent and alienated as before. I've seen her once, so I'm still not familiar with her. I don't know what the other party's attitude is, and why I invited her over.
"Please sit down, Miss Mary, you're welcome." Miss De Bourgh is very bad at socializing. She gets nervous when she talks to strangers, especially men, and she is also relatively distant from girls of the same age. Some melancholy, rarely have big emotional ups and downs, but she was really angry just now, because of those wives' unrestrained speech, and also for others to mention her marriage, I don't know why, anyone who mentions marriage and love makes her baffled of irritability.
"You all step back." Miss de Bourgh's gentle and thin voice sounded, and the servants all bowed and bowed before retreating, and then Miss de Bourg said to Mary with a sad face: "Miss Mary, you seem to be interested in Yang Mister has some special emotions." This is not a question but an affirmation.
Mrs. Bennet was lying on the hospital bed and asked ramblingly whether the handsome young man could come. She wished she could write a letter in person. Unfortunately, Mary wisely did not disclose the correspondence address of the gentleman. In fact, Mary did not know the address of the gentleman. where is sir now.
