Don't be cannon fodder one [Comprehensive]
Chapter 130
Balls are usually held in the evening, and when it comes to balls, gentlemen usually don't know how to ride horses.
The country road is so dusty, and you are riding a horse to a dance, can you still watch it?
If the road is muddy again, if it rains a little more, he will definitely lose his face.
So when Georgiana got into the carriage, Darcy and Bingley got into it too.
The carriage was very large, and Lin Lin and Georgiana sat on one side, and Darcy and Bingley on the other.After the two sides sat down, there was still a little distance between them, so that they would not touch each other's knees.
But if Mr. Darcy was still looking at Lin Lin at this time, it would be too obvious.So although Mr. Darcy was sitting face to face with Lin Lin, he turned his face out of the car window.
Following the inconspicuous light on the car wall, Darcy could see Lin Lin's shadow from the window.That's enough.
When can I just look at her?
When I was young, the carriage arrived at the manor where the ball was held.After being welcomed in by the host, and after another introduction, the ball officially began.
"The people here are very enthusiastic." Georgiana glanced at the girls who were laughing loudly around several officers, a little unaccustomed to this bold and unrestrained expression.
If there were only two girls there, Lin Lin would definitely think that they were the two youngest daughters of the Bennet family, but there were many little girls around, so Lin Lin didn't know.
Could it be that what seems so inappropriate in the eyes of readers or Darcy is actually something that all country girls here do?And the two little girls in the Bennet family did this, but because they were beautiful to attract more attention?
Thinking of this era, women's requirements for marriage, and thinking of the officers who can participate in the ball, the girls are more enthusiastic, which is actually understandable.
According to her understanding, they were all civil servants with serious jobs.
Even though she thought so, Lin Lin still wanted to take a look at the legendary Lydia.
She kept looking at the beautiful girls in the room, but because of the gap between Chinese and Western aesthetics, Lin Lin really didn't find which girl was the most beautiful in this ball.
But the girls of this era are well developed.Lin Lin lowered her head and glanced at herself, um, exquisiteness is also a kind of beauty.
When the first dance was about to start, Darcy stretched out his hand to Lin Lin who was beside him. Lin Lin looked at the hand and gently put it into her own.
On the other side, Bentley is also going to ask Georgiana to dance first.Then go ask the lady of the host's house who held the ball to dance.
As soon as Bingley entered here, he felt that although it was the English countryside, there were so many beautiful and lovely girls.
……
Stirring to the east, to the west, then walking forward and turning around, Lin Lin concealed her speechlessness about the ballroom dance at this time, and continued to wander here with Darcy.
"Miss Catherine, don't you like dancing?" Or someone who doesn't like dancing with you.
"If I remember correctly, Mr. Darcy doesn't seem to like dancing either."
"Actually, that's true. But it's a different matter if you have a beautiful woman as a company." After saying that, the two distanced a little further while listening to the music.
"That said, it's my honor."
Seeing Lin Lin's playful eyes and brows when she said this, Darcy replied involuntarily, "If you want, you can continue to be honored forever."
Lin Lin tilted her head and couldn't believe what she heard. Is this person more narcissistic than herself?
After being shocked by Darcy's words, Lin Lin was no longer interested in chatting.At the end of the song, Lin Lin saluted and left the dance floor.Just came together with Georgiana.
Darcy escorted the two ladies to rest by the window.Then he stood by the fireplace on the other side and looked at the situation of the dance casually.While looking at the two young ladies who spoke softly.
The ratio of male to female guests today is obviously out of balance, with more female guests.But that's fine, he was really afraid that his two rabbits would be targeted by wolves.
Lin Lin met Darcy's sight, and Darcy didn't avoid it.Instead, look straight over.
"Georgianna, is your brother okay recently?" Actually, Lin Lin wanted to ask Mr. Darcy if he hadn't committed any unknown problems recently.
Georgiana followed Lin Lin's gaze to look at her brother, and then looked back.The two looked at each other, and Georgiana said in a low voice, "Catherine, does my brother admire you?"
Lin Lin turned her head quickly, a little in disbelief. "Is that why your brother loves people so much?"
Uh, the eyes are a little fierce.If the elder brother always looks at his admirers with this kind of eyes, it is no wonder that the elder brother is still single at this age.
"Is that something you've been doing lately?"
Lin Lin shook her head.
"No." Except for teasing Mr. Darcy's hound and pulling the dog cart once, he really did nothing.And she was quite sure that when she played with the hounds, Darcy was visiting neighbors with Bentley.
That's really weird.
……
Elizabeth looked at Mr. Bingley dancing with her sister, and was also impressed by Jane's charm.
Jane is the prettiest girl they have here.
Temperament is so gentle.
The new Mr. Bingley was heard to be an unmarried bachelor.If Jane could marry such a character, the mother would be very happy.
There are no brothers in the family. After the father dies, all the property in the family will be inherited by distant relatives.Since Lydia grew up, her mother has been worrying about their sisters' marriage.
Looking at Mr. Bingley who invited Jane to dance for the second time, Elizabeth really hoped that the two could get together.
The five sisters of the Bennet family are well-known beauties in a hundred miles around.Ever since she was compared by others, her heart has been raised.
As it was with Jane, so it was with Elizabeth.
But their rural town has limited resources, and there are too few options for their sisters to choose from.Although she and Jane will go to London almost once a year, hoping to find a good marriage partner there.
But the uncle's family can only get in touch with some small businessmen.These merchants, or heirs of merchant families, either failed to choose the Bennet sisters who had a meager dowry, or the two sisters failed to choose them.
After coming and going, I got older.
Until this year, Lydia also entered the social circle.
Mother's worry, she is not ignorant.But she didn't want to find a husband whom she even despised.If there is no love in marriage, if the husband cannot be truly admired.Then she knew that her married life would not be happy.
But her friend Charlotte scoffs at this.But she couldn't change her mind.Just because of... age, and appearance.
As good friends, their ideas are so different.But they still became good friends.
Because each other needs each other.
She needs to find a sense of superiority and foil in Charlotte.
But Charlotte has the mentality of picking up the loopholes.
Just when Elizabeth was still thinking about the sudden addition of two bachelors, the dance music stopped.Jane went to Mrs. Bennet, while Bingley went to Mr. Darcy not far from them.
"Oh, my friend. It's a pity you haven't danced much all night. Come on, let's dance together."
"No, your sister doesn't like dancing, so I can only stay here." While rejecting Bentley's invitation, Darcy also handed Bentley a glass of champagne very friendly.
"What does this have to do with Catherine? Look at today's ball, there are so many lovely girls. Since you are here, you should enjoy the ball well. Look over there, how many beautiful girls are there?" .”
Darcy glanced over there from the corner of his eyes, and then most of his eyes were on Lin Lin who didn't know what Georgiana was talking about, and the rest of his eyes were given to the noisy man in front of him.
"It's not bad. But it's not as good as someone." Darcy raised his champagne glass forward, and said in his low voice with no expression on his face, "Congratulations on having such a beautiful and lovely sister."
The cute and cute Mr. Bingley took a sip of champagne habitually before realizing what his good friend was saying.
"Darcy, you're praising Catherine, aren't you?" Mr. Bingley confirmed looking at Darcy's cool expression.
Still the 'everyone else owes me money' expression, same deep voice, "No. You heard me wrong. I adore your sister, Miss Catherine Bingley, so in my eyes she is the only worthy Lovely, beautiful woman. It's not a compliment, it's a fact."
"Cough cough, cough cough. Darcy, how is this possible? What are you kidding?" He quickly looked back at his sister who was joking with her sister.
When Darcy's eyes turned from Lin Lin to Bingley's face, You Ran became sharp.
"Are you questioning my feelings? What makes you think so?"
Bingley: "...", you often look at my sister with critical eyes, and frown when you look at it.Oh, by the way, the way you looked at my sister recently made him wonder if you couldn't bear it and wanted to kill my sister.
I suddenly heard you say that again today, no one would believe it, okay?For God's sake, his sister probably thought so too.
Elizabeth heard the conversation between the two new bachelors in front of her, so she suppressed a smile and walked aside.She was afraid that if she listened any more, she would laugh.
She really didn't mean to eavesdrop.
But when he left, he still couldn't help looking at the girl in the topic of the gentlemen.
With an indifferent and haughty face, and sharp eyes talking about admiring so-and-so, this gentleman probably has such a personality.Then she forgives the harsh words and critical eyes that this gentleman used to them just now.
It was not easy for this gentleman, and of course it was even more difficult for the lady whom she admired.
……
Since Bingley finished dancing, Lin Lin's attention has been more than half given to him.Thinking of today's very famous incident, Lin Lin quietly cast a magnifying spell on her ears.
She really wanted to hear what Mr. Darcy had to say about that Elizabeth.And how did the Elizabeth chick treat this harsh remark as a joke to others.
You must know that in her heart, Jane will be her sister-in-law, and Jane's sister Elizabeth has the best relationship with Jane.Not only that, but she will marry Mr. Darcy in the future.
As Bingley's cheap sister and a good friend of Mr. Darcy's sister, she naturally wanted to see every move of this Miss Elizabeth.
She admitted that she was very curious.
Then after her cheap brother, she was also embarrassing there.
It's fun to be crushed on.I feel so happy to be admired by Mr. Darcy.
But this kind of "love you will kill you" look, she has lived for so many years, please don't blame her for being blind, she really didn't see it.
Then when she was extremely embarrassed, the hostess Elizabeth still looked at herself with strange and sympathetic eyes.
Knowing the plot in the original book, Lin Lin thought that Elizabeth had heard the conversation between the two brothers just now.
Lin Lin felt that the God they believed in must not know what it was like to be charred by lightning.
It's really shocking.
The author has something to say: Seeing a relative leave a message saying that they also had the same experience of being forced to marry, I felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction in my heart.
Hahaha, I'm having a hard time.And there are people like me.
This seat is going to become a fighting holy Buddha, who can do it.
If I don't get married, it's not that I can't support myself.Why go to someone else's house to be a little daughter-in-law.
……
It was so hot that I sweated every time I moved, and I couldn't bear the heat even if I didn't move.Dear friends who read the article, you must pay attention to heatstroke prevention, sun protection and pervert prevention.
