[Pride and Prejudice] Mary's Pride and Prejudice

Got home

There was no room for so many people in one carriage, so Uncle Gardiner rented another temporarily, and Mary and her two younger sisters got into this taxi.

As soon as Lydia got into the car, she admired that this car was much better than the one at home, spacious and comfortable. This kind of car is for long distances, and of course it must be stronger than the one at home.

Lydia looked the carriage up and down, and said to Mary: "When I get married in the future, I will definitely ask my mother to order such a carriage for me. It is even more magnificent than Meridon's carriage."

Kitty laughed at her and said, "Then you have to make one for me first. You are the youngest, and you will be the last to get married according to the order."

"That's not necessarily!" Lydia retorted loudly: "If someone proposes to me, Dad will definitely not object. Get married early."

"Stop talking big!" Kitty looked down on her younger sister, "Let's find someone to propose to you first!"

Lydia opened and closed her mouth, and muttered, "Anyway, I'm sure to get married before you, and you might be the last one among us to get married!"

It's a curse!Kitty threw herself on Lydia and tore her apart, and the screams and curses of the two girls were heard far away.

Mary was going to stop them, but she suddenly saw a very familiar figure in front of her, and she asked her two sisters, "Is that Mr. Bingley?"

Lydia and Kitty immediately put their faces on the car window, and Lydia confirmed, "Yes, that's him!" She opened the car window and stared at the distant Mr. Bingley called out, waving his hand, "Hey—Mr. Bingley—Mr. Bingley—"

Kitty couldn't help complaining: "Keep your voice down, it's so rude, everyone is looking at us!"

"Mr. Bingley—" Lydia kept waving her hands and shouting. Fortunately, their car was also driving in that direction, and Mr. Bingley noticed them after a while.

Mary knocked on the carriage to signal the driver to stop.

Mr. Bingley approached along this road alone on a horse. He stopped in front of the cars of the ladies and greeted them friendly: "Ladies, what a coincidence, I met you again!"

Mary nodded and smiled: "It's really a coincidence, Mr. Bingley, we met you all the way when we came to London, and now we meet you again when we are leaving. Are you also returning to Meridon? Then we can be companions together again." ?”

Mr. Bingley's complexion was a little pale, and he smiled dryly: "No, I'm going to visit a friend in the suburbs of London." He pinched the hat in his hand, "I want to invite him to spend Christmas with us."

Mary thought to herself: Of course I know you are not going back to Meriton, and I just want to make you feel uncomfortable by asking this question.

Elizabeth wrote last time that Jane received a letter from Miss Bingley saying that they were not going back to Nethornfield Manor, which made Jane very sad.

Elizabeth said in the letter: If you don't want to embarrass Jane's sweetheart too much, then this gentleman's behavior is indeed inappropriate.Or he was just playing emotional games with a beauty like Jane. Of course, according to Elizabeth's observation, Mr. Bingley's feelings were indeed sincere.Or he was so soft-hearted that he was persuaded by his sister and good friend to give up his feelings.Although the second possibility is much greater, it still does not allow Elizabeth to forgive Mr. Bingley. If a young man cannot stick to his love and insist on his own opinions, how can this gentleman deserve to be admired by Jane?

But Jane was still willing to think of this gentleman in the best possible light. She comforted herself and her sisters by saying that it was possible that she was being sentimental. Mr. Bingley was an excellent young man who treated everyone with a pleasant face, which was easy for the girls to misunderstand. Thought he was interested in himself.Of course, everyone has seen Mr. Bingley getting along with her, and they don't agree with her statement.

Elizabeth's letter caused a long discussion in the Gardiner's house, and Lydia and Kitty were very fond of Mr. Bingley, whom they thought would soon become their eldest brother-in-law.

Lydia complained loudly to him: "You really don't keep your word, Mr. Bingley. I look forward to your visit every day at my uncle's house, but you always disappoint me."

Mr. Bingley said awkwardly: "I'm really sorry, Miss Lydia, I didn't mean to do this, please forgive me..."

Lydia interrupted his apology with a wave: "I heard you're not going back to Nessanfield, are you?"

Mr. Bingley was a little at a loss: "Because...the London affairs cannot be resolved for the time being..."

"Then you're never going back, are you?"

"I'm afraid it's... but it's not necessarily..."

Lydia said disappointedly: "What about Jane?"

"What... what?" Mr. Bingley was stunned. "What's wrong with Miss Bennet?"

"I mean what if you leave Jane?" Lydia's eyes widened. "I thought you would propose to her!"

Mr. Bingley blushed, but at the same time his heart was full of surprise.

"Lydia, we should go." Mary reminded her sister, and she nodded to Mr. Bingley who was sitting on the horse, who was unsure. "Mr. Bingley, next time I have a chance to welcome you to Tianen Temple Street."

Mr. Bingley said in a daze, "Yes, Miss Mary, have a good trip."

Lydia watched Mr. Bingley go away in a daze from the car window, and then retracted her protruding head. She complained to Mary: "If Bingley doesn't go back to Meriton, how great it is for the people there. loss?"

Mary drooped her eyes and said, "For our mother, the loss is even greater!"

Kitty expressed her own opinion: "Such people may be excellent, but there are more excellent young people in London. I think we should come to London from time to time, so that the chances of marrying outstanding young people will be greater!"

She literally spoke Lydia's heart, and Lydia said to Mary immediately: "We'll go back to London after Christmas, Meryton isn't much fun anyway!"

Mary sarcastically said: "Who used to go to Meriton every day, and now you say there is nothing interesting there, you are so fickle!"

"It's a woman's nature to be fickle!" Lydia said with confidence.

Mary wanted to keep Lydia in Meridon and separate Lydia from Colonel Edwards, but she was afraid that Lydia would be hooked up by Wickham.In the current situation, there are playboys in London and super scumbags in Meryton. It is really against each other. It is not safe for Lydia to stay anywhere, and Mary hesitates and struggles.

Kitty is also contradictory: "I haven't seen Danny and Mr. Wickham for a long time. If I live in London, I can't always see those officers in red uniforms, but there are many interesting places in London, and I have seen a lot more than officers. And a handsome gentleman..."

"Oh, Colonel Edwards is more handsome than the officers, he is even more handsome than Mr. Wickham!" Lydia said with a nympho.

Kitty laughed at her: "Colonel Edwards is an officer!"

Lydia's aesthetic view is very simple: ordinary youth VS young military officer, in her eyes Colonel Edwards has surpassed either of these two.

Mary is really going to be defeated by these two stupid sisters: "I have to remind you, it's best to let me stop you from chasing handsome men. If you fall in love with someone one day, you must tell me. Don't love Unworthy of love! For example: Mr. Wickham and Colonel Edwards!"

Lydia was furious: "Andrew is a good man. Didn't you say that he was willing to help Mrs. Frye last time, which means that he is not bad?"

"He is willing to help Mrs. Frye, it can only show that he has done a good deed, but doing a good deed does not mean that he is a good person! And, don't forget, he has so many lovers and illegitimate children!"

"That can only show that he is attractive!" Lydia exclaimed, "And, I think he is very attractive!"

What kind of logic is this, is my sister an idiot?Mary's hair was full of black lines and she said incredulously: "What are you talking about? When did moral corruption become a charismatic expression?"

Lydia said nonchalantly: "There must be something worthy of liking in him, that's why so many people like him. Not only mistresses, but also many friends, everyone likes him!"

Mary sneered, "Did he tell you? He bragged to you about how popular he was?"

Lydia was not convinced: "It's not what he said, I saw it with my own eyes!"

"How much have you seen? You've only met him a few times before you think you know him?"

Lydia opened her mouth, lowered her head and did not speak.

Mary really wanted to ask her if she fell in love with Colonel Edwards, but the girl's mind was really hard to guess. Mary was afraid that she just had a crush on some man now, but if she acted like an enemy, maybe It just happened to stir up the girl's mind, causing Lydia to act out the fake show and have real feelings, so the gain outweighed the loss.Anyway, the number of times the two people met was limited, and they didn't communicate much. If they were isolated in the future, this hazy relationship would naturally fade away.

With a lot of worries, they returned to Longbourn. Mr. Bennet, his wife and two eldest daughters stood at the door to welcome them early.

Uncle Gardiner's car was ahead, and as soon as it stopped, Mrs. Bennet stepped up and shouted: "My God, my God, my Edward, I haven't seen you for a long time!"

"Are you all right, Fanny?" Uncle Gardiner kissed his sister on the cheek.

Mrs. Bennet immediately complained loudly: "I am not at all well, Edward, Jane's marriage is not good! I thought she would get married at Christmas, but it all came to naught. The annoying heir of my family is getting married soon. But when I think that he will come to my house to inspect his property under the pretext of visiting the Yue family, I will not be happy at all!"

Mr. Bennet supported his wife on the shoulder and said: "Women love the new and dislike the old so fast. Your love for Mr. Collins is like inferior cotton, which fades after one wash."

Mr. Bennet shook hands with Uncle Gardiner, and said humorously: "I welcome you sincerely, my dear Edward, but when I think that you will take my annoying daughters home, I don't want to see you again." is you."

Uncle Gardiner laughed loudly: "Oh, dear Mr. Bennet, the purpose of children is to make parents regret having them, but if you really don't want to see them, you can marry them off quickly, That way I guarantee you will regret it again!"

"Oh," Mr. Bennet looked in his wife's direction, and said softly to his brother-in-law: "If you want to have a happy Christmas, don't mention your daughters' marriage in front of Fanny, it's like It is the machine switch of the northern factory, once it is turned on, it has to wait until the owner stops it, and the workers cannot decide when they leave work."

Uncle Gardiner wondered: "The nieces are both talented and beautiful, and they will have a large dowry in the future. In my opinion, Fanny doesn't have to worry about their marriage at all."

"You don't understand," Mr. Bennet blinked. "It's like letting her watch a good young man slip from her hand, just like letting you watch a fish unhook from your fishing rod."

Uncle Gardiner understands—the next one may not be smaller, but who knows when he will bite the bait again?

On the other side, Mrs. Bennet was almost overwhelmed. She warmly hugged several nephews and nieces, and kissed them back and forth, especially the elder nephew, Little Edward. Mrs. Bennet kissed his forehead and He kept talking, "My little Edward, you are so tall, and you will soon become a handsome young man."

She praised her eldest niece again: "Look at our Daphne, she is already a big girl, how elegant and beautiful she is."

She didn't even bother to care more about the daughters who just got off the car, so she kept saying to Aunt Gardiner who got off the car last, "My love, brother and sister, I've been looking forward to your coming, I There are so many things I want to tell you, I have been depressed for too long, no one in my family is willing to listen to me, my head hurts to death all day..."

……

Kitty saw that her mother, who hadn't seen her for three weeks, simply hugged them and then went to talk to her aunt, felt left out: "At least ask us if we are doing well in London?"

Jane walked up to a gentle smile and asked: “So how are you doing in London?”

Kitty nodded and said excitedly: "It's great. On the third day we arrived, Mrs. Nash invited us to dinner. Mr. Nash is not at home. It is said that he has been very busy. I think our house may be very busy." It will be built soon, and then we will be the ones who own London property, and it will still be in a luxurious location. Oh, and we also visited the Greenhouse Garden of Duke Edwards, which is really beautiful..."

Seeing her chattering like Mrs. Bennet, Elizabeth and Mary looked at each other and smiled.
