[Pride and Prejudice] Crossing into Elizabeth

Mr. Bingley said emphatically, "Licky, come with us."

Jane also said, "Licky, you must come with me."

At this time, Elizabeth felt like she had won the lottery!

Elizabeth looked excitedly at Bingley and then at Jane, and was so excited that she couldn't speak.

On the contrary, Mrs. Bennet asked Bingley very interestedly: "Dear Bingley, where is that gentleman's manor? Is the whole family spending Christmas at the manor? Is that gentleman married? May I ask his annual income?" How many? How many sons is he in the family?" Mrs. Bennet turned her head and asked Jane, "Dear Jane, what did you say that gentleman's last name just now?"

Elizabeth's pretty face twisted slightly after hearing Mrs. Bennet's thoughtless words.

No wonder Elizabeth in the book is always ashamed because of Mrs. Bennet, she realizes it now.

Fortunately, Bingley has long been used to this kind of Mrs. Bennet. No matter what he thinks of Mrs. Bennet in his heart, he doesn't show it on his face. He quickly replied with a pleasant face: "My friend His Christian name is Fitzwilliam Darcy. He has a large manor in Derbyshire. The Darcy family is a well-known local family. He is the only son in the family. Unfortunately, his parents died of illness many years ago. Well, the manor has been inherited by my friend, and there is only one sister in Darcy's family, and he is not married yet."

Mrs. Bennet gave a loud "Oh" and repeated with twinkling eyes: "Not married! The only son in the family! He has inherited the manor! That's a good thing, nothing could be better, and Lizzie would like to be with you Go, she must go with you, she has nothing to do at home anyway."

Elizabeth was really embarrassed.

Xin said that her mother was too straightforward, okay, how could she have the nerve to go with her sister and brother-in-law like this.

But after going, you can see the male god.

Elizabeth was caught in a battle between heaven and man.

Seeing that her sister hadn't spoken, Jane thought she was reluctant to leave her father, so she took her hand and said earnestly, "Lizzie, you must go with me. Bingley's sister, brother-in-law and younger sister will all go. I have to see his relatives and friends all at once, I can't handle it alone, I can't do it without you."

Elizabeth thought that her elder sister would be considerate, so she agreed smoothly, but before she could speak, she was choked back by Lydia who just came downstairs. Lydia had a loud voice, and she asked carelessly. : "Jane, where do you want Lizzie to go with you?"

Lydia was not downstairs just now, so she didn't hear the conversation just now.

Lydia has been loved by her mother since she was a child, but she has always been negligent in discipline, so her behavior is very impolite. She has always been like this, and everyone is used to it. Jane also said to Lydia very patiently: "It's Bentley. A friend of mine invited me and Bentley to his estate for Christmas, and I wanted Lizzie to come with me."

Lydia asked aloud: "Where is his estate? Are there many dances there? Are there troops stationed there?"

Seeing Lydia asking this question, Jane knew that she wanted to go too, but firstly, Bingley's friends only invited her and Bingley, so it was hard for her to bring her two younger sisters there, and secondly, Lydia's behavior was always rough, after all, she It was the first time seeing her husband's family and friends, and of course they wanted to make a good impression, so it was even more inconvenient to bring Lydia there.

Jane said euphemistically: "Bingley's friend is in Derbyshire. We just came back for Christmas. I haven't heard that there are troops stationed there."

Elizabeth probably understood what Jane was thinking, but Lydia didn't care about that. She said enthusiastically, "Then I'll go too. I'm almost bored to death at home. I'd be happy to change places."

Mrs. Bennet, who was always the most fond of her youngest daughter, said at once: "Yes, dear Jane, take Lydia with you."

Now Jane can't help it. Jane has always been thin-skinned and kind-hearted. Seeing her sister thinking so much, she secretly blamed herself for being too inhuman.

So I decided to take Lydia with me.

Elizabeth thinks this is the best way, mainly because she wants to see Lydia up close, not because she doesn't want to be considerate of Jane's mood, but Lydia's lifelong happiness is always more important than Jane's temporary unsatisfactory.Although in the book Lydia and Wycombe elope next year, and no one knows where Wycombe is now, but everything seems to have changed now, and Elizabeth feels that she cannot take it lightly.

Now Elizabeth could take Lydia with her to Pemberley. On the one hand, Elizabeth felt very happy, but on the other hand, she was really unhappy.

Life is tangled.

Now it is only half a month before Christmas. After discussing it, they decided to start five days later, because it would take two or three days to go from Longbourn to Pemberley, so they could arrive in Pemberley a week earlier, neither early nor late. Night.

As the Bingleys were leaving after supper, Elizabeth saw Mrs. Bennet take Jane aside, and whispered a few words to her.

Elizabeth felt very comforted that at last Mrs. Bennet knew that there were some things to avoid.

After the Bingleys got into the carriage and left, Mrs. Bennet asked Elizabeth in front of everyone: "Lizzie, do you know what I just said to Jane?" Her face and tone of voice were very smug.

The family listened curiously to Mrs. Bennet.

Elizabeth suddenly had a bad premonition, and Mrs. Bennet soon said triumphantly: "I asked Jane to ask Mr. Bingley about Mr. Darcy after I went back. I did all this for the sake of Mr. You, Lizzie, or else I don't bother with this kind of thing, don't bother with this kind of worry, you'll know when you get to my age, and a woman my age better not worry about it or worry about it. I don't know Did you see Mrs. Long's hair, my goodness, her hair was gray on the sides, and she dyed her hair blonde later, she thought I didn't know her hair was dyed, but I was looking for it Someone asked. All right, Li

Qi, you will follow Jane to Derbyshire this time, so you should seize the opportunity well.Not everyone can meet that kind of rich bachelor.Jane married so well, I knew early on that it would bring a lot of benefits to our family, "

Satisfied, Mrs. Bennet turned her head to the other daughters and said, "You will meet other rich people, good boy."

Lydia said aloud: "I don't care about rich people, mother, you don't know that I went to my aunt's with Kitty yesterday, and there happened to be a young boy at my aunt's house. His name is Smith, although it is a very common name. But he is really handsome, and he still asks me about things, I think he likes me, it's a pity you didn't go to my aunt's house with us, otherwise you would have seen him."

Mrs. Bennet said happily: "Good boy, I guessed it even if I didn't see it. That person must like you. You are the most temperamental at home. You don't know how many people like you."

Elizabeth was speechless as she listened to the conversation between the mother and daughter.

This is a typical loving mother who loses her daughter!

Instead, Mr. Bennet satirized Mrs. Bennet: "Honey, I am not worried at all when you are so enthusiastic about finding a husband for your daughters. With such a mother around, I dare say our daughters are very happy." You can rest easy, even Lydia will not worry about marrying."

Mrs. Bennet didn't understand the meaning of her husband's words at all, she thought Mr. Bennet was praising her in a daze, and said proudly, "That's true."

Elizabeth couldn't stand it anymore, and went back to her room awkwardly.

Two days later, Jane came again. As soon as Jane entered the door, Mrs. Bennet asked her loudly: "Dear Jane, you are here. How is the matter I asked you to inquire about? Tell me quickly, I will wait for you." It's too late."

Elizabeth was embarrassed, how could her mother remember this?

But Jane definitely doesn't have any good news to tell. Miss Bingley, Miss Anne, who are crazy, no matter it's true or not, Elizabeth just thinks that her mother will be more sober after she finds out.

Elizabeth wondered embarrassingly, why did Mrs. Bennet follow her.

It's all at the wrong time to wear it. Why did she get married as soon as she wore Jane?

Jane, why did you get married so early?

Elizabeth cried out silently in her heart, and stared at Jane silently. Jane thought that her sister was depressed by Mrs. Bennet, and she said to Mrs. Bennet very tactfully: "I asked Bingley, and he said that Mr. Darcy There is a cousin, Miss Anne, who is the only child in the family, and who will inherit a large fortune, and it is said that Mr. Darcy will marry his cousin."

Of course, Elizabeth is very clear about these situations, but Mrs. Bennet's face was long when she heard it, and she didn't speak for a long time. Later, Elizabeth chatted with Jane, and both of them forgot about it. Mrs. Te suddenly said, "It's unlucky to marry my cousin!"
