[Pride and Prejudice] Mrs Bennett

Chapter 29

After the dance at Lucas's house, Longborn, who was so lively because of the arrival of Bingley and his party, gradually fell silent, returning to the usual leisurely and peaceful countryside.Rich gentlemen are welcome, of course, but there is a difference between singles and non-singletons.

The decent country gentlemen at Langbourne wanted to be wives, not mistresses.

After Caroline had a detailed talk with Bingley that day, in getting along with Darcy, she no longer prioritized him to please him as before, but resumed her original attitude.Such Caroline made Darcy look at her differently.She is a decent lady, she has a lot of talents, and she has a good conversation and knowledge. As a friend, she is very good.

Bingley rides to Bennett's house every morning to accompany Jane for a walk, and Darcy also goes in and out with him, but with different goals.Elizabeth is not a little girl who doesn't know anything. It's not that she doesn't know what Darcy's being so attentive for so many years means, and now she continues to accept his gifts and his company like this, of course she acquiesces to something.

"Lumbourne in autumn is beautiful," said the tall and slender Darcy to Elizabeth, who held his arm.Even if he was facing the girl he liked, the expression on his face was not very rich, but there was warmth in those ice blue eyes.

"Langborn is beautiful all year round." Elizabeth's smile is beautiful, with elegance in her frankness, "The scenery is different in different seasons, but they are all refreshing. I like this place very much, Fitzwilliam, this is my hometown .”

"No matter how much you like, you have to pay attention to your feet." Darcy stretched out his hand to support Elizabeth who accidentally sprained.

Embarrassedly smiling, Elizabeth quickly stood up straight and left Darcy's embrace: "Skirts are not so convenient to wear sometimes. When mom and dad go for a walk, they often choose riding clothes, saying that they are convenient for activities."

"The Viscountess... is very special." Darcy said.

Although Grace is only from a middle-class family, she has a dignified manner and a dignified temperament. She also has knowledge and abilities that many women rarely have. She has also raised children that no one can find any major shortcomings.The more he got along with the Bennett family, the more he felt the magic of the Bennett family, from the viscount to the viscountess, to the children of the viscount's family.

Of course, the most amazing is Elizabeth.As a young boy at that time, he noticed the lively girl at a glance, and then he approached step by step because of curiosity, and then he fell deeply into the current situation step by step.Many people couldn't understand his feelings, including his good friend Bentley, why he fell in love with such a little girl.

In fact, at the beginning, he just thought that little girl was cute.She laughed a lot, unlike the newborn Georgiana who was always crying.It was because Georgiana needed her mother's wholehearted care that he was sent to Pemberley Manor alone.The manor was beautiful, and George was there to watch and play with him, but what he wanted more was the company of his parents.

Elizabeth was very lucky. She was born in an aristocratic family with a good financial situation, loving parents, and a harmonious relationship between siblings.When inquiring about these situations, Darcy was a little envious.It's not that his parents don't love him, but they behave differently from the Bennetts.

His father is very strict with his studies, because he will be the next helm of the Darcy family.The mother's health has not been very good, and she often fell ill after giving birth to him.Later, Georgiana was born again, and she had to take care of herself and her little daughter, so her concern for her son could only be limited.She would order the maids and servants to prepare what he needed, but she would not greet her children like Grace.

Darcy's parents also grew up in this environment, so they treated him the same way.If he hadn't met Elizabeth and didn't know how the Bennetts got along, maybe he would have thought that the family members got along just like their family.

I can't say how envious I am, just a little yearning.Therefore, Darcy expected to marry a woman from such a family as his wife.Darcy considers himself lucky that the girl he's interested in is such a match for him, whether it's from family background, hobbies, or his needs.And he will give his love and loyalty to this girl.

"Mom is the best!" Elizabeth said proudly.In her eyes, Grace is almost like an idol. "Speaking of which, if it wasn't for my mother, I wouldn't change my impression of you."

"...I gave you a bad impression?" Darcy frowned slightly.He knew that Elizabeth was not very close to him before, and he only accepted his gift because of etiquette.But later, her attitude towards him slowly changed, and he always thought it was because she grew up and understood his heart.Now it sounds like there is something else hidden in the middle.

After the not-so-lady gave him a blank look, Elizabeth slowly said: "The first time I saw you, you had an arrogant look with your nostrils upturned, and people didn't like you at first sight, plus some rumors from the servants at home... ..." She wrinkled her nose, "So the first image was not very good. Later, when you went home with Dylan, you still had the same serious expression. I was still young at that time, so of course I would be more fond of people who like to smile. Prefer it."

"And then?" asked Darcy.

"Later, my mother found out about my attitude towards you, and she had a good talk with me." She squinted at him, and then continued, "Mom said that there is nothing you can do about your personality. We are very close, and you are the heir to the family... so, it is normal to be a little serious and paralyzed. Mom thinks very highly of you, so you are serious and responsible, caring for your family, loyal to your friends... and actually a very gentle people.” Elizabeth laughed, “Mom said that your gentleness is different from those who are gentle on the surface. Your gentleness is hidden in your actions. You will send gifts on my birthday, and you will find me to see When I go to work in other places, I will not forget to bring me some small gifts... Mom said that you put me in your heart, so you are so careful."

Darcy was a little moved. He didn't expect Mrs. Bennet to think so highly of him.Of course, it is impossible for him to know that Grace thinks highly of him not only because he has been with and observed for a long time, but also because he is the hero in a book, and this hero is a model of a good man.

Elizabeth smiled softly: "Mom said, if such a good man runs away, it will definitely be my loss. Think about it carefully, in fact, many of my opinions about you are due to the prejudice of the first impression. If you don't If you continue to be by my side, I should... be very sad."

"Fitzwilliam, you are very important to me." Seeing Darcy's surprised expression, Elizabeth once again cheered for Grace in her heart.What mother said was indeed right. Appropriate confession and sweet talk to a man would deepen his liking and love for her.

"Liz...can I call you that?" Darcy held her hand, and her beautiful appearance was clearly visible in his icy blue eyes.After she nodded in approval of his request, he continued, "I'm very happy, really. I've been waiting for you to grow up. Although I think you have feelings for me, I still worry about it. Now ,very nice."

Elizabeth smiled shyly.She felt that she would probably never find a man who would treat her so well again.

As the couple succumbs to Longborn, London's Dylan receives an unexpected friend.Dylan was shocked when he looked at the handsome young man in a blue uniform sitting on the opposite sofa, looking extremely energetic.

The friend who used to be a little naughty is now full of aura, and even brings him a full sense of threat.The smile on your friend's face looks the same, but feels completely different.The army is indeed a place to hone people.

"How was life on the other side of the European continent?" Dylan filled the tea with his own hands and handed it to George Wickham.

"What can I do?" Wickham shrugged. "You also know that Napoleon's army is invincible. If you can disrupt their actions once in a while, it's considered meritorious service." He pointed to his shoulder, " See, I just happened to meet once by chance, and I became a major directly. This time I went back to London to see His Majesty the King in the palace, and then I will go to the Royal Army Academy for further studies. The superior thinks that I am not bad in command, I was recommended to go."

"You've made it through." Dylan sighed, "We were all worried when you joined the army without saying a word. There has been no news about you in the past few years, about old Mr. Wickham. ,you……"

"I know." Wickham smiled, his eyes slightly bitter, "I also have to thank Fitzwilliam for helping my father hold the funeral. On the battlefield, communication is not so convenient, and I... don't want you to worry , so I never thought about writing a letter, I always thought about waiting for myself to come back safely... But I didn't expect that my father left earlier than me. I also want to say that I can finally let him live a better life, major Although the military rank is not too high, at least he is a senior officer. The status of the father of a senior officer is more respectable than his status as the butler of the Pemberley Manor."

"George, old Mr. Wickham will be proud of you." Dylan could only comfort him in this way.

"It's not a coincidence this time. I only have a few days of vacation, and I will go to school next time. The school is fully militarized, and it is not so easy to come out. Fitzwilliam and Charles, please help me bring a Believe it." Wickham said, "I will study for three years, and I don't know the next arrangement yet."

"Won't you go to Europe again?" Dylan asked.

"Probably not." Wickham shook his head, "The army of the British Empire on the European battlefield is not the main force, and the talents that the army needs to train will not be sent to that kind of place." He laughed, "How do you say that? I am also a talent now, and I will not be sent to such a dangerous place."
