[Pride and Prejudice] Mrs Bennett

Chapter 27

Sir Lucas was stunned for a moment because of this unexpected situation, and then quickly reacted and stepped forward to fulfill his responsibility as the master.

"Mr. Bingley, Mr. Darcy, and Miss Jane, welcome to come." He focused his puzzled eyes on another gentleman and two ladies beside Bingley and Darcy, "Who are these three?"

Bingley laughed, turned his head and looked tenderly at Jane who was wearing a lake blue dress: "Sir Lucas should know this lady, but I still have to introduce. This is Miss Jane Bennett, my fiancée."

Sir Lucas glanced at Charlotte not far away, and smiled a little shyly: "It turns out that Mr. Bingley and Miss Bennet...congratulations to you."

"Thank you." Bingley smiled happily when he heard Sir Lucas's sincere request, and introduced his sister and Mr. Hurst to him.

"It's a pleasure to meet two beautiful ladies," Sir Lucas kissed the hands of the two ladies, "Your presence makes this ball full of splendor."

Mrs. Hurst and Caroline nodded reservedly in return, exchanged a few casual greetings, and the group walked towards the Bennetts standing in the corner.

"My lords, Lord Viscount, Madam Viscount." Mrs. Hurst grabbed the hem of her skirt and bowed to the Bennetts. "Thank you for taking care of Charles and Caroline."

Mr. Bennett nodded slightly and took a step back. Grace smiled and said, "You're welcome, Mrs. Hurst. Our family's Jane will marry Charles soon, and it's right for the two families to help each other."

Charles and the unmarried Caroline are of course members of the Bingley family, but this Louisa is now Mrs. Hurst. She can take care of the Bingley family's affairs, but she can be regarded as a foreigner. What is the identity of the Nate couple's thanks?Charles and Caroline's sister, or... the Bingleys?Grace smiled playfully.

"Mom." Jane walked over and took Grace's hand.

"Very beautiful." After looking at Jane, Grace nodded, "Charles gave you this dress and jewelry? It suits you very well."

The lake green long dress made Jane's figure more slim, while the simple and generous diamond necklace on her neck showed dignity and luxury.I have to say that Bentley has a good vision in this regard.

"Caroline told me quietly that she was an advisor to Charles." Jane whispered into Grace's ear with a chuckle.

"It's good that he has this kind of heart. Look at your father. I have been taking care of his clothes for so many years. He didn't expect to give me any jewelry and clothes." Grace glanced at the eavesdropper from the corner of his eye Mr Bennett.

Touching his nose, Mr. Bennett whispered, "Aren't you in charge of the family's money? You can just buy whatever clothes and jewelry you want."

"It's different," Grace said.

"That's right, it's different, Dad." Jane let go of Grace's hand, took Mr. Bennett's hand and said seriously, "Mom bought it with her own money, and you bought it with your own money. , is a completely different concept. Even if the money spent is still yours, there is no difference."

"You two, mother and daughter, are united again?" Mr. Bennet said helplessly, "I really don't have much research on these, and it's not like you don't know. Grace, when I was young, I bought you a few You said the clothes were ugly, and you never wore them once."

"You buy it and I don't wear it. It's not the same as you don't buy it at all, dear Cecil." Grace said.

"Women are really troublesome." Sighing, Mr. Bennett turned his head to look at Bingley, "Listen, Charles. Jane and her mother have very similar personalities. When you get stubborn, it will make your brain hurt. You Can you tolerate her like this all the time?"

"Father, if you can do it, I believe I can do it too." Bentley said with a smile.He thinks that his personality is softer than that of Mr. Bennett, and Jane is not as strong as Mrs. Bennett. If the Bennett couple have been in love for 20 years and their relationship is still so good, then of course he and Jane are also OK.

"I hope you can do what you say." Mr. Bennet stared at him for a moment with his dark eyes, "Jane is Grace and I's precious daughter, and Dylan's cherished sister." Here, he smiled faintly, and the smile lines on the corners of his mouth added a bit of gentleness to him, "Okay, all you young people are going to dance, you don't have to stay here with us all the time."

Bingley bowed to the couple to salute, and then invited Jane to hold her hand and walked to the dance floor, and the two jumped up in harmony.The Hursts also went to the dance, leaving Darcy and Caroline to continue to stand beside the couple.

"Aren't you going to dance, Mr. Darcy?" Although he knew the character of the hero of "Pride and Prejudice", Grace asked as a courtesy.

"If you are willing to dance, Mrs. Bennett." Darcy said with a slight smile on his lips, which made Grace deeply honored.If it was the Mrs. Bennett in the book, Mr. Darcy would probably avoid it. How could she say such a thing.

"If Grace wants to dance, I will accompany her." Mr. Bennet finished coldly, took Grace's hand and left the corner.After marrying off a daughter, he doesn't want to see other men who have plans for his daughter for the time being, especially this man is still courting his wife in front of him!

"Cecil, are you being too sensitive?" Grace turned his head and saw the man's tightly pursed lips, feeling a little amused.This man who loves his family is completely different from the man in the book who only knows how to lock himself in his study and occasionally say something to satirize his wife and daughter.This is her luck, to meet someone who understands her and tolerates her here.

"I'm not sensitive." Mr. Bennet paused and looked at her seriously, "Don't say you didn't see Darcy's attempt on our Liz, Grace."

This is exactly what Grace was amazed at. The plot has changed so much, but Mr. Darcy still fell in love with Elizabeth at first sight.This time, the obstacle between the two is no longer the Bennett family, but just the hero's arrogance. However, as Elizabeth grew older and received more education, the obstacle between the two gradually became more and more serious. disappeared.

What stands between the two of them now is the age gap.Elizabeth is only fourteen now, she will be eighteen in four years, and Mr. Darcy will be twenty-six by then.In fact, the eight-year difference between the two is not a big deal. It is normal for a husband and wife to have an age gap of about ten years in this era, and there is also a seven-year difference between the Bennetts.

It's just that Mr. Darcy needs to wait for a long time before the bride he wants to marry grows up.

"I don't know exactly what Mr. Darcy thinks, but I do know that Miss Caroline is very interested in him." Grace said with a bit of malice.Not far away, Miss Bingley was talking attentively to Mr. Darcy with a stern face.

"Hmph." With a cold snort, Mr. Bennett said equally maliciously, "If he can't even handle this trivial matter well, he has no right to marry our Liz."

Grace shook her head helplessly: "Cecil, Mr. Darcy's situation is different from yours. Miss Bingley is the sister of Mr. Darcy's best friend."

"As a man, he should have foreseen this kind of thing." Mr. Bennett said with a curled lip. "I had quite a few friends back then, and I also rejected several girls of noble origin."

"Is Mr. Bennett showing me what he's done?" said Grace, squinting at him.

"Of course not!" He smirked at Grace, "I just want to explain that as long as a man is firm in his heart, it doesn't matter how many women have a crush on him. I only have you Grace in my heart, so other Women have nothing to do with me."

Grace thought of the red-haired maid who had been fired by Mr. Bennett, and the various women Dylan had told her had been dealt with over the years before she knew it.She smiled tenderly at him: "Cecil, I am lucky. I believe that our daughter will be as lucky as me, and will meet a man as good as you."

"I'm not as optimistic as you, Grace." Mr. Bennet raised his left eyebrow. "You know, we have five daughters in total."

"You should think, we don't have to worry about the life-long events of our two daughters." Grace saw Mr. Darcy say a few words to Caroline, shook his head and walked away alone, "Mr. Darcy did it." Should be pretty good."

"He still needs to work hard." Mr. Bennet expressed dissatisfaction. "Dear Grace, our Liz is only fourteen this year. You don't have to be so anxious to get her out, do you?"

"Cecil, you also know that there are too few good men like you." Grace said with a smile, "Although Mr. Darcy is probably not as good as you, at least I am satisfied with him. It’s not young anymore, and I haven’t casually found a woman until now. It’s pretty good for a young man to be able to be so self-disciplined.”

"Father once said that self-discipline is the most basic criterion for a man." Mr. Bennett brows with nostalgia, "Many of his teachings to me are different from this era, but they have benefited me a lot. If not Father, I will never marry such a good wife as you." At first, he proposed to Grace only because of his appearance and other considerations, but she gave him a big surprise when he actually started married life.And this surprise has continued until now.

"Let's stop complimenting each other." Grace smiled slightly, took his arm and leaned on his shoulder intimately and said, "In short, we are very happy, so that's good."

"..." Mr. Bennett clenched his fist and coughed twice.In fact, he just didn't want to hear Grace praise other men, even if that man might be his future son-in-law.
