[Pride and Prejudice] Mary's Pride and Prejudice

Jane still can't recover from the shock: "It's unbelievable that Mr. Darcy is in love with Lizzie. Lizzie is certainly worthy of his admiration, but I didn't realize it before, and I think his best friend must be too. I don't know anything about it, or Mr. Bingley couldn't have kept me from telling me."

Mary immediately analyzed it to Jane: "Mr. Darcy looks down on Li Qi's background and her indecent relatives, so falling in love with Li Qi is a very difficult thing for him to accept, which must make him ashamed, he His arrogance must not accept that he is so willing to degenerate, so it is only natural for him to hide this affection."

Jane still can't imagine: "As the saying goes, only love and coughing are hard to hide, I still can't accept this reality, it's too sudden."

Mary was really defeated by her: "Aren't you only surprised by this incident? Even if Mr. Darcy fell in love with Li Qi, he still looked down on her relatives and friends, including you and me, aren't you angry?"

Jane let out an "ah" and wrinkled her face: "Mr. Darcy has always been kind to me, and I have never felt any malice from him. I don't think he looks down on me, but he is indeed a little too arrogant. There is no one around him worthy of his respect. However, his method of proposing marriage is really inappropriate, but because of his original confidence, he must be extremely disappointed in the end. How much pain he must have now, how can I bear to criticize him? "

Mary is noncommittal, anyway, Jane is kind-hearted, generous, and never holds grudges. Since she is not angry with Mr. Darcy, Mary will not take the initiative to provoke. Moreover, she thought, Elizabeth will come to the second letter soon Believe it, the content inside will also surprise people.

With this in mind, Mary stretched her neck and waited the next day. As a result, she spent the entire day waiting for nothing from Elizabeth. It was not until the servant sent a letter in a hurry before dinner.Mary couldn't wait to take the letter into the study and read it carefully.

Dear Jane and Mary:

I have been out of my mind all day today, ashamed and uncomfortable, and finally I made up my mind to write this letter to you, hoping to correct some of the contents of my letter yesterday, so as to eliminate your misunderstanding of a certain gentleman, Especially Jane.Of course, I believe that with a simple and broad mind, she will never forget the harm others have done to her, but I still hope that she can know that even some arrogant people will never deny her humble and noble character.

Speaking of which, you must be baffled by the above words. Let me start from the beginning. I got up this morning and walked to the post office to post the letter I wrote last night. I believe you should have received my letter.I took a detour on my return, because I used to meet a certain gentleman in my walks, yes, yesterday's self-righteous Mr. Darcy, who brought me so much humiliation.I didn't think I should have met him by detouring the usual path, but I came across him in a grove of woods.I was about to turn around and leave, but he shouted my name and walked towards me quickly. I thought that this gentleman and I should never see each other again, so as not to hurt each other's self-esteem.But since he can come to see me without shame like this, of course I have to face him with confidence.He looked pale and serious, and he handed me a letter, solemnly begging me to read it.My motivation for opening this letter was definitely not any kind of fun. I believe you all had the same guess as I did at the time, probably thinking that this was a letter of courtship to express my heart.But I also thought that with that gentleman's haughty temperament, he probably wouldn't take such a vulgar way, so the content of this letter aroused my many speculations, and finally I opened this letter with strong curiosity .I walked while reading the letter. You must not know how contradictory and complicated my mood was at that time. I hardly remember how I went back to my room. I read it once—he wrote two full pages of the letter—but I still found that I couldn't understand it, so I read it again and again three or four times before I finally understood what it said.I won't repeat Mr. Darcy's words and sentences, but he actually apologized to me for breaking up Jane and Bingley!I now know that Mr. Darcy is also capable of apologizing.He said he had separated Jane and Bingley for many reasons, our mother's humbleness being part of it, but the upbringing she and our two younger sisters had shown him was intolerable.I saw there and wanted to tell him out loud that if he was referring to Lydia beating Mr Collins, then parenting wasn't such a big deal.Of course, he said that he broke up Jane's marriage and that's not all. The important thing is that he never saw that Jane fell in love with Mr. Bingley.What he said was really wrong, and his observation skills were really not worthy of his decent status.On the one hand, he is obsessed with my little sisters showing their temperament, and on the other hand, he dislikes Jane's reserved self-love, which is really ridiculous.He had concealed the news of Jane's coming to London in the first place, and it was really dishonorable to deceive his friends like this.But Mr. Darcy, out of prudence in his friend's marriage, resigned himself to this, and we may imagine his surprise when he met us at Richmond.It was then that Mr. Bingley learned that Jane had been in London a long time ago, and had visited them.Speaking of which, I am very surprised by Mr. Darcy's next change. He said that he had a brief dispute with Mr. Bingley on this matter, and then he finally realized that although he was wholeheartedly thinking about his friends, he could not help but lose his sense of propriety—— I said it was too lenient—he later took the initiative to apologize to Mr. Bingley. Mr. Bingley knew his kindness, and the two quickly reconciled. After a long talk with Mr. Bingley, Mr. Darcy finally encouraged Bingley The husband went to London to find Jane. If the two agree with each other, there is no need to focus too much on each other's status.I was astonished at what he said, for Mr. Darcy did not sound like he should have said it, and if he did say it he would have looked like a different man!But he still said that he believed that simple personality and disposition deserve to be respected. In terms of talent and character, she and Mr. Bingley were a good match, so in the end he even encouraged Mr. Bingley to go to London to pursue his own love. happiness.The first time I saw these, I thought he was lying, but after thinking about it for a long time, I finally began to believe that what he said might be the truth, because firstly, he didn’t need to lie, and secondly, we only need to find Mr. Bingley to prove the lie It is easy to be exposed.Therefore, we should believe that with regard to Jane and Mr. Bingley, even though he initially tried to break them up, he later actively promoted it.Although I don't think he can make up for his original mistakes and wash away his sins, but I don't hate him as much now as I used to.And I think Jane has long forgotten how he hurt you?But I still want to tell Jane that her fiancé's friends don't despise her so much as we think, and I think Jane will be very happy to know that.There is another incident concerning Mr. Wickham, whom Mr. Darcy inscribes in his letters with all the alarming accusations of ingratitude, luxury, and licentiousness.At first I didn't believe a word he said, but then he told me that Mr. Wickham, because of a large dowry, was trying to seduce a lady who was very kind to him, He did such a thing to ruin people's reputation.This matter is by no means Mr. Darcy's hearsay, but there are names and surnames with facts to check. Forgive me for not being able to say the name of this lady, and please keep this matter a secret. Mr. Darcy said the name of the witness who witnessed this matter , I can ask him for confirmation at any time, but I think it is completely unnecessary. Although Mr. Darcy is arrogant and rude, he will never lie about this matter, and I have confirmed Mr. Wickham's words and deeds. My husband's cognition is really wrong, and I feel extremely ashamed for it.Now thinking about Mr. Wickham's personality, no one can say any substantial merits about him except for being well-mannered and sociable.When he first met us, he criticized Mr. and Miss Darcy in front of strangers like us.On the one hand, he said that he would never expose the benefactor's son, but on the other hand, he spared no effort to slander them.At that time, Mary taunted him mercilessly, and I thought Mary was too rude, but now that I think about it, Mary has a unique vision, and I am so stupid, so I deserve to be so embarrassing now!Because of my vanity, if one person neglects me, I will hate him and get angry with him, and if the other compliments me, I will be extremely proud, value him and like him.I used to be smart and self-satisfied, only to remain prejudiced and ignorant, completely out of my wits.I wandered in the grove for a long time, so ashamed that I couldn't see anyone, I deeply reflected on the mistakes I made. Although Mr. Darcy is a disrespectful, arrogant and annoying person, I can't be better than him More or less, he despises his inferiors, and I despise people because I overestimate my own intelligence and intelligence.After I was extremely frustrated, I decided to correct my mistakes. My stubbornness and prejudice caused a miscalculation of the two people's personalities.I have to take a serious look at myself and re-evaluate the world from today, thank you Mr. Darcy, although he is still arrogant and rude, but his criticism of many things hits the nail on the head, I must admit our family Nathanfield It's really out of character at the ball.Last time you wrote about returning to Longbourn next week, I hope you can redouble your efforts to restrain the two younger sisters. Mr. Wickham had shown interest in me. Maybe later because Miss King had more money than me, he switched to hers. embrace.In fact, Miss Jin's money is not too much. I used to think it was because of Mr. Wickham's low desire, but now I think he has no other choice, and he is very greedy for money.After returning home this time, my mother will definitely preach about our dowry again, especially since Jane and Mr. Bingley have an engagement, and my mother will definitely tell everyone in Meridon about Jane's dowry over and over again.I was afraid Mr. Wickham would change his course again, and some of his misdeeds were kept from publicity because they concerned an innocent lady, but I now think that there is no need for our family to continue our friendship with him.

Mary read the letter back and forth twice. Although she did not go to Hunsford to experience this incident in person, the transformation she has experienced can be seen from Elizabeth's words. She is the most valued daughter in the family by her father. People around her respected her, loved her, and praised her for her intelligence, which made her quite conceited of her own mind. Now it is not so much Mr. Darcy who stumbled, but Mr. Wickham's cunning Shameless gave her a blow in the head, letting her know that the intelligence she relies on will be unreliable one day, even Elizabeth has a time when she thinks she is smart and is deceived by vanity.From now on, Elizabeth will be as smart, playful, and sarcastic as ever, but at the same time, she will be more mature, more thoughtful, and more considerate of others.

Mary had hardly finished reading the letter when Jane returned from Mr. Bingley.The social season was coming to an end these days, and the Bennets were returning to Longbourn, and perhaps a few months before the social season returned to London again.Jane and Mr. Bingley were like glue, and could not wait to be together all the time. It was a pity that Mr. Bingley had some business here, but almost everyone concluded that he would go to Meryton to visit his fiancée's family as soon as he finished his business.

Mary shook the letter in her hand to Jane: "Honey, maybe you want to read this letter."

The author has something to say:

So I have always insisted that Elizabeth follow Mr. Darcy from CP. Without Elizabeth's merciless face-to-face criticism of Mr. Darcy, Mr. Darcy is just an arrogant and arrogant son of a famous family. Education, he will never do anything harmful to nature, and he will even abide by the moral code of a gentleman to benefit the village and help the poor, but his arrogance and never being considerate of other people's shortcomings will never make his image so glorious and would never bring happiness to any lowly intelligent wife, unless he marries such fools as Lydia and Kitty.

Although Elizabeth's transformation is not as obvious as that of Darcy, the impact and education she received from this incident will definitely make her reflect and let her re-examine herself.

Speaking of which, I think that Mr. Darcy and Mr. Bingley have the right views on love. Bingley once said that even if Jane's unseemly relatives live in Tianen Temple Street, they will never lose the slightest charm of her. attitude towards love.Up to now, the sentient beings are full of water, but they also have that condition.

And Mr. Darcy's view of choosing a spouse is very similar to that of many girls nowadays. Those who have the best family will never jump into the pit, but if the sweet happiness given by love exceeds the troubles brought by the best relatives, you still have to choose love resolutely. !But before the energy of love has accumulated so much, you still have to keep calm and keep calm!
