[Zhongying] Rebirth meets a wizard
Chapter 40 The 6th Prom 2
For Mrs. Bennet, what she cares most about is the marriage of her daughters, and what she is most proud of is her beautiful daughters.
At the ball, Mrs. Bennet always walks in front with Mr. Bennet. Of course, Mr. Bennet is not so necessary. The important thing is that she will be followed by her favorite daughters.
When the people at the ball look over, those shining eyes looking at her daughter, this is Mrs. Bennet's favorite moment.
And those who came first to the ball really admired this stream of beauties.
Elizabeth in the dark blue dress has fair skin, flowing eyes, and beautiful wisdom.
Mary in the goose-yellow dress, with slightly downcast eyes, is gentle and delicate.
Katie in the pink dress is cute and lively, looking around innocently.
Lydia, who was in a dark green dress, was unexpectedly able to hold down the dark dress, which made her look a bit less gorgeous and made her more stable.
Mrs. Bennet also looked at her daughters proudly, and didn't hold them back, and let them find their own dance partners.
"Lydia, you're in a daze again."
Mrs. Bennet saw Lydia, whose movements were slow because of distraction, and she walked over immediately, intending to find a partner for Lydia, who was always weak at the ball.
"Mom, am I reluctant to leave you?"
Turning his eyes away from Sherlock as if nothing had happened, he felt the bad Lydia coaxing his mother with sweet words.
"Your little mouth!"
Mrs. Bennet petted Lydia's little head.
"But you are not allowed to run, follow me this way."
Mrs. Bennet took Lydia to the Lucas family and greeted the Lucas family.
"Miss Lydia, it's rare to meet you at the ball, please give me the honor of dancing the second song with you."
It was also the young Mr. Lucas, who had just arrived at the ball and had not yet separated, invited Lydia to dance.
In her mother's sight, Lydia accepted with a smile.
"My pleasure."
Seeing that the adults started chatting, Lydia and the children of the Lucas family smiled at each other and walked away.
Elizabeth, who was not accompanied by Jane and Charlotte, suddenly appeared at this time.
"Lydia, you must have been caught by your mother."
"Tch, that's because you run fast, otherwise you, a role model of a big sister, wouldn't be able to run."
Lydia pursed her lips, annoyed at her daze just now.
"You're distracted yourself, who's to blame for that?"
Elizabeth smiled and glared at Lydia, her inadvertent charm flowing.
"By the way, does Lydia want to know who will be invited to Mr. Lucas's first dance?"
"I don't want to, and I don't care about my business."
Lydia deliberately didn't take the bait, watching Elizabeth shake her head.
"You're really hard to be funny now, no wonder Katie always complains about you."
Elizabeth pursed her lips, rolled her eyes, and directly grabbed Lydia, who was already taller than herself.
"Whether you're interested or not, let's go and have a look."
"And what about your dance partner?"
Lydia let Elizabeth pull her forward.
"If mom sees you not dancing, she will miss you when she gets home."
"Don't scare me, I'm concerned about my sister."
Elizabeth would not be intimidated by Lydia.
"Which sister?"
Following Elizabeth's footsteps, she also talked to her, but Lydia's eyes swept across the crowd involuntarily, and after vaguely seeing the figures of Mary and John, she looked at Sherlock not far away.
He was getting close to him, although he was kept chatting with people on the way here.
"What else, you're distracted again! You'll understand if you see for yourself..."
Elizabeth noticed Lydia's absent-mindedness, and followed Lydia's eyes to see that there were many people chatting there, so she didn't pay much attention, and turned her little sister's face to the direction she should see.
Lydia was turned away by Elizabeth, and looking in that direction, Mr. Lucas Jr. was inviting Katie.
"I remember little Mr. Lucas was my age, and he was younger than Katie."
"Yeah, but it's just over one year old. You know I'm caring about my sister."
Elizabeth raised an eyebrow at Lydia.
"Well, dear sister, you are always right."
Lydia shrugged. In fact, Miss Bennet's good looks made the gestures of inviting dancers seem normal, and it was not a marriage proposal. Lydia didn't take Mr. Lucas's gestures seriously.
"You don't believe me, do you? Charlotte told me that her younger brother has always liked Katie. She told me so to test our family's reaction."
Seeing that Lydia still didn't care, Elizabeth finally revealed her source.
"Even if this is the case, it's Katie's own business. Whether she accepts it or not, and what the future holds, we'll just have to wait and see."
Lydia finally corrected her attitude, and she took a deep look at the little Mr. Lucas in front of Katie.
"Who says no, it's just...you and Katie are the best, do you know what she thinks?"
Elizabeth seems to still be tasked with finding out information, and now she is asking Lydia.
"It's easy to see Katie's mind, isn't it? She just likes fancy dresses and balls now. As for these gentlemen, she has no one she admires yet."
Lydia looked back at Katie and Mr. Lucas Jr., and looked at Elizabeth beside her.
"Charlotte asked you to find out what Katie was thinking?"
"Where did you think you were? She just mentioned something. Now that she's married, she's too busy with her family's affairs."
Elizabeth expressed helplessness to Lydia's overthinking. Although Charlotte did mention it cryptically, she did not respond.
"But why didn't she come to the dance, otherwise, Liz, you wouldn't be so bored as to drag me here to peek at others."
Lydia just asked casually, and she still believed in Elizabeth's feelings for her sisters now.
"How can this be peeking? To put it so harshly, we are concerned about it openly."
Elizabeth twitched the corner of her mouth, feeling a little overwhelmed by her sister's venomous tongue. When did Lydia's mouth become so powerful.
"Dear sister, please take care of where your dancing partner is first. I'm going to find Mary. She disappeared so quickly today."
Lydia was very happy to see Elizabeth deflated, and planned to find Mary. It seemed that John was looking for her, and she didn't know what would happen to them.
"And tell me, you're not going to take a peek."
Elizabeth immediately grasped Lydia's strictness towards others and her generosity towards herself.
"I won't watch from a distance like you, and I can't even hear what they are saying. I'll go first. I wish you a good time. See you later, Liz."
Lydia blinked at Elizabeth, and then went in the direction where she saw Mary.
As for Sherlock approaching this way, Lydia did not admit that she avoided it on purpose.
When Lydia saw where Mary was, she was just about to walk over when the first dance began.
John led Mary, and Mr. Lucas Jr. led Katie, and they entered the dance floor two by two.
On the dance floor, Lydia and Elizabeth, who was still not far away, smiled, and then went to hide from Mrs. Bennet.
But they didn't dance this song, if Mrs. Bennet caught them, they must have been filled with dancing partners.
Lydia retracted her gaze, turned around, and saw Sherlock standing in front of her while the skirt was twirling.
The smile on Lydia's face froze, and finally forced herself to smile stubbornly.
"Great detective, you're here to solve a big case again? Congratulations, the commission will be completed soon..."
"Lydia, I'm here for you!"
Sherlock's eyes fixed on Lydia.
"Did John come for Mary, and you... did you come for me? Heh... You obviously came for the case of the militia."
The corners of Lydia's mouth curved with sarcasm.
"Lydia... did I do something wrong?"
There was real doubt in Sherlock's expression. He didn't understand Lydia's change. Even though he could understand the expressions and thoughts of many people, he couldn't understand those emotions.
"Sherlock, we're friends... aren't we?"
Seeing Sherlock's confusion clearly, Lydia's ironic smile turned bitter.
"Yes! We are friends."
For questions that he knew the answer to, Sherlock suddenly felt that answering such obvious questions was much better than answering emotional ones. He no longer disliked the simplicity of these questions, and felt at ease when things were back to normal.
"Welcome to Meryton, my friend, and I hope . . . you enjoy your time here."
Taking a deep breath, Lydia gave a sincere smile, but there was always a sense of reluctance.
"You are sincere! That's great. I am also very happy to come to the countryside once in a while. The scenery and environment are still very good."
Sherlock was a little pleased that Lydia was sincere.
Lydia felt her heart lighten up, and she squinted her eyes a little amusingly. She felt that while Sherlock could see through her, she could also see his obvious emotions.
……
"The dance is coming to an end..."
Looking at Mary and John not far away, Lydia murmured.
"Yeah, Lydia, how about dancing with me?"
Sherlock stretched out his hand, with a rare soft face and expectant eyes.
Lydia was originally looking at the two people on the dance floor, but when she heard this, she turned her head to look at Sherlock's light-colored eyes staring directly at her, and then at the hand stretched out to her.
"Sorry... I already have an appointment with someone else."
After Lydia finished speaking, the song just ended.
People on the dance floor stopped dancing and saluted each other to end the song.
People around stopped talking, and everyone clapped happily, joining the people on the dance floor.
Lydia and Sherlock also applauded in unison.
John and Mary left hand in hand and did not go this way.
It was Mr. Lucas Jr. and Katie who came to Lydia.
"Lydia, I've brought your next dance partner."
Katie's breath was not so uniform, but her tone was joyful, and she looked very happy.
"Katie, you dance really well, and of course Mr. Lucas, you cooperate very well."
Lydia smiled and praised the couple.
As soon as Katie finished the song, her cheeks turned red, and now she heard Lydia's praise, she jumped over and grabbed Lydia's arms.
"Lydia, it's so kind of you."
Little Mr. Lucas went off to get a glass of juice for Katie, and one for Lydia in the way, but he had nothing to hold his own.
"Thank you."
Katie took the juice for herself and gave Mr. Lucas Jr. a big smile.
"Thank you. Little Mr. Lucas."
Lydia wasn't really thirsty, she didn't dance the first song, and she didn't say much, but she took it anyway.
"It's my pleasure. And, Miss Lydia, you can call me Kevin. That's what Katie calls me."
Little Mr. Lucas smiled politely at Lydia.
"Okay, Kevin, just call me Lydia."
Lydia looked at Mr. Lucas Jr., and nodded.
"Okay, Lydia, this gentleman is a bit unfamiliar, could you please introduce me."
Little Mr. Lucas had already discovered Sherlock with a strong sense of presence, and when he handed him juice, he always felt that this strange gentleman gave him a stare.
"Kevin, this is Sherlock Holmes."
Lydia switched to holding the juice in one hand, and after a subtle pause, she briefly introduced Sherlock to Mr. Lucas.
"Sherlock, this is Kevin Lucas."
Lydia's introductions were all too simple.
Katie held Lydia's arm in front of her, leaning on her to rest, drink juice, look at this person and that person, she was very busy.
The two gentlemen who had just been introduced exchanged a few pleasantries, and ended the process of getting to know each other in a neutral manner.
Resting soon, Katie is sharing her dance list with Lydia, and it looks like Katie is really popular.
"Lydia, what about you, what about you?"
"I don't want to break my leg, Miss Kitty, you should go find your partner."
Lydia sighed for Katie's unrelenting posture, and she was really old.
"Well...Miss Lydia, enjoy your dance."
Katie and Lydia chatted a few words, then smiled at the two gentlemen, and left gracefully.
"Lydia, please."
Little Mr. Lucas held out his hand to Lydia.
"Mr. Holmes, please excuse me."
Sherlock watched Lydia put her hand on the one in front of her, and squinted his eyes uncontrollably, feeling that the hand holding Lydia was so intrusive.
……
Although Lydia always refuses other people's invitations to dance because of her poor dancing skills, in fact, her slender figure different from her age makes her dance beautiful, and she is a beauty that cannot be ignored on the dance floor.
As she grew up, not only did Lydia's height change, her face became more and more beautiful and charming.
If one year ago, she was still a beautiful girl.
Now, a year later, she has grown into an attractive beauty, like a rose waiting to bloom, nothing can conceal her charm, and the visible, more gorgeous future.
If the youngest Lydia was a showy rose.
Katie is the lovely white lily of the valley.
Mary is the shy Molly.
Elizabeth is a somewhat proud iris.
Jane is the lily that everyone loves.
Of course they are more complicated and unique than flowers, but the picturesque faces can only be compared with flowers.
Each of the five Bennet sisters is so different, but they are the closest sisters.
In this song, the four sisters at the ball are all on the dance floor.
And Jane, who is far away in London, is also dancing, with her prince.
On the dance floor are the prince's coveted sisters and friends.
No matter what the future holds, they danced beautifully in this song.
At the ball, Mrs. Bennet always walks in front with Mr. Bennet. Of course, Mr. Bennet is not so necessary. The important thing is that she will be followed by her favorite daughters.
When the people at the ball look over, those shining eyes looking at her daughter, this is Mrs. Bennet's favorite moment.
