"This suit is good, but this jewelry is not good. Mom, can I invite my girlfriends? They are all officers' wives, and they all want to make friends with Brother-in-law Darcy." Although Lydia is naive and frivolous, she can't do anything when socializing with officers' wives. She is very famous in the circle. She is beautiful, charming, talented, and fashionable. She has given full play to her wife's diplomatic ability. Many of Wickham's superiors think highly of Wickham because of the pillow style at home. After all, he is also It is very pleasing to the ladies.And their family has powerful in-laws.Wickham's promotion path is entirely dependent on his wife or his wife's family, which is enviable. Those junior officers have long admired the Darcy family.

"Absolutely not. This is my wedding, not your social circle." Mary, who had been patient all this time, finally broke out. Her temper was exactly the same as that of Mr. Bennet. It was not particularly loud, but serious and terrifying, which immediately made Liddy Ya was silent. "Collins, I can bear it because we are relatives, but those officers' wives don't want to be successful, not to mention that if they get to know Mr. Darcy, then you, the advantage in their social circle will not exist, and, they When they didn’t know Mr. Darcy, they felt that he valued Wickham’s extra care, but if they got to know Mr. Darcy, what would the truth be?” She couldn’t listen to people like Lydia who reasoned with her Understood, she didn't think it would bring any trouble to brother-in-law Darcy at all.There was only one other way to persuade her to give up.

"Oh, yes, you're right, it's absolutely impossible..." Lydia really only thought about herself. If they made friends with Darcy's brother-in-law, they would find that he didn't treat Wickham like Lydia said. With trust, the lies she bragged about would be exposed, for the special privileges they had earned would no longer exist.

Since having this mother and daughter, Mary feels that she has begun to understand the art of conversation.They challenged her reason almost every day, and they could only complain to Mr. Bennet, but Mr. Bennet just sat back and watched without sympathy. If they intervened, he would be the one who suffered.In such a noisy and fulfilling day every day, the wedding still came.

Relatives and friends sat together.Of Mr. Benest's relatives, only his two brothers and sisters-in-law came.Mrs. Bennet wanted to chat with them, but they kept a straight face, pale and stiff faces without the slightest joy and blessing of her brother's marriage, as if they were just completing a task.However, Bennet's brothers have good looks. After all, they are a family. They are very similar in appearance. They all have red hair and their skin is extremely pale and bloodless. They are a typical noble family.This made Mrs. Bennet decide to forgive them for the time being.But Collins still attended. Although he wrote back that he was very busy, he still couldn't help being curious and wanted to see what kind of person his cousin Mary married. He probably was either a widower or an ugly person, or a low-level commoner.

Seeing the beautiful Elizabeth, he would still feel hurt to his self-esteem and uncomfortable. He thought that Elizabeth would regret it after rejecting him, but he didn't expect her to marry the handsome, rich and outstanding Mr. Darcy as his wife. He has always been brooding, and compared with Charlotte, who is not amazing and has no interest, he feels that Elizabeth is really perfect.Charlotte is as cold as ice. She has little love for Collins and only talks to Elizabeth. They have matured a lot, and there has been a huge difference in their speech.In order not to embarrass herself, Charlotte brought the topic to Elizabeth's daughter, Grace, and taught Elizabeth how to be a mother.

As for Collins, she really didn't want to look at him.The fat Collins ran around among the relatives of the Ban family to inquire about the groom, but the groom was very mysterious. The relatives of the Ban family had never seen him, and no one knew about his appearance and wealth.He went to the Bennett's house to inquire, but naturally got rejected like Mrs. Bennett. After all, Mrs. Bennett is the mother of the bride, and the rest of the Beneste's family can handle a few words, but With this guy in front of him, there is no need to be polite.Mr. and Mrs. Bennet sat in the first seat, and Mrs. Bennet was almost in tears. All the sisters, Jane, Elizabeth, Kitty, and Lydia were sitting there nervously. It was not their first time attending a wedding, but Feeling really excited at this moment, Mary finally got married, which restored the precarious reputation of the Bennet family, and also made their family regain the respect of the people in the circle. Now they no longer have an excuse to attack the Bennet family.The rest were whispering about who the groom was, or what he looked like.

No matter what other people discuss, they are still very curious about the groom. They all want to see what kind of husband Mary, who is not amazing and has no wealth, can find a husband. Most of them are in the mood of watching a joke. here.With the priest in place, the organ began to play.Mr. Benest and Mary walked into the church slowly, arm in arm. Flower petals rained down from the sky, and sunlight passed through the stained glass of the church.Mr. Benest's blond hair is like a flaming rose. His straight figure looks like an ancient Greek sculpture no matter what he wears. The smile on his lips makes people blush and heartbeat. His charming face is due to today's Joy is getting more and more moving.Mary beside him was covered with white gauze, rose petals sprinkled on the snow-white skirt, she was taller than ordinary women, her tall and straight waist was graceful and graceful, and her thin waist was strangled. The man was so tall that he matched Mr. Benest very well, and his features were blurred under the hazy veil, but he had an astonishing sense of beauty.

Mr. Benest's footsteps slowed down deliberately. He looked at Mary from time to time and smiled at her. Mary also frequently looked at Mr. Benest. Only they knew each other that their bodies were trembling with tension.They had been up almost all night last night, and Mr. Benest was so excited that he kept making mistakes in reciting his speech.At this moment, he calmed down, because he saw the woman who could make him feel at ease. Standing there, she could give him strength and make him face everything he was afraid of before, including his brothers.

Looking at such a handsome and tall groom, Collins who was standing aside felt his face was burning hot, and his self-esteem was extremely hurt. Mary, a mediocre woman, a woman who had a crush on and pursued him, a woman of a rather old age A woman with no wealth, why, why can she marry such a talented man.Collins thought viciously and meanly, he must have nothing or have his own defects. With such a beautiful appearance, he might be gay!Amid the blessings and smiles of others, his face was particularly ugly, and his jealous look distorted him. The Ban family members who knew the inside story felt proud, and at the same time looked down on people like Collins very much.

Standing in front of the Holy Father, Mr. Benest took Mary's hand and said the marriage words: "Under the witness of the Holy Father, I promise you a lifetime promise... Please let me do it for you Put on your wedding dress, and bring you under my protection." After finishing the lengthy wedding speech in one breath, he let out a long sigh of relief, and looked at Mary affectionately.Mary's heart was beating like a drum, and she never thought that she would get married one day. She replied: "I will be faithful to my marriage..." After they exchanged marriage words, they raised their hands, and the priest First put a ring on Benest's left hand, and said: "In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit..." Then he also took Mary's right hand and put the ring on her ring finger. "I declare that you have concluded a holy marriage." Following the priest's announcement, a large number of petal ribbons flew down, and accompanied by the music of the organ, they faced the crowd. Mr. Benest lifted the bride's veil and gently kiss on her cheek.

He whispered in her ear, "From today onwards, you are Mrs. Benest." Mary felt her ears itch and couldn't help giggling.Others looked at their sweet tastes as insignificant, but Collins was furious.He led Charlotte with an ugly face, and left without waiting for the evening dance. Seeing his frantic look, Mrs. Bennet wanted to laugh and express her grievances.

At the beginning of the evening dance, Mr. Benest led the freshly baked Mrs. Benest to dance an opening dance. During this period, Mary was very uncomfortable. She was trying to slip away. Although they were the protagonists of the banquet, they were also affected. There were no greetings, and Mary especially hated this kind of entertainment.Mr. Benest made an excuse that they had something to say, so the two came to the terrace on the second floor of the public ballroom. The moonlight outside was dim, but the whole ballroom was brightly lit. They didn't have much time to talk to each other, after all, there were so many people outside Many people were waiting to congratulate them.In the bright lights, Mr. Benest took Mary's hand and wanted to kiss her lips, but Mary avoided it in panic. She was so shy and out of adjustment. To outsiders, they were lovers, but only if they knew each other and unfamiliar.Seeing this, Mr. Benest said to Mary: "I know, you are not ready to be Mrs. Benest. So I will not ask you to be Mrs. Benest. I am willing to wait until you are ready. After finishing speaking, he just looked at Mary like that, waiting for her answer.Mary was extremely shy and hot all over. She had never had such close contact with a man before, so she replied, "Thank you for your respect." Mr. Benest laughed and said, "You don't need to be so polite." After that, he took Mary's hand and re-entered the ballroom.
