[Pride and Prejudice] Professional female supporting role

On the fourth day after Caroline sprained her ankle, Netherfield received an invitation letter from Lucas's family. Sir Lucas was going to hold a private ball in his own home, hoping that they could come to attend.Although the wording was very euphemistic, they all understood that this ball was mostly held to invite them.

Charles replied to the letter and mentioned in the letter that he would take the liberty of bringing a new friend there, so Elizabeth's good friend Charlotte sent the news to the Bennett family immediately.

"Another unmarried gentleman? Oh, what a surprise! I thought Mr. Bingley's time at Netherfield was wasted."

Mrs. Bennet was slumped on the sofa exaggeratedly holding her bloated chest. Elizabeth and Jane looked at each other amusedly. It seemed that they had unintentionally analyzed the fact that Mr. She cared very much, although the superficially stubborn Mrs. Bennet absolutely refused to agree.

"It's just that I don't know how much property this Mr. Fox owns...but it must not be more than Mr. Darcy!" Speaking of this, she looked at her second daughter with some dissatisfaction: "Why do you think Mr. Darcy can't see What about the girl who came to our house? Isn’t Jane the prettiest girl in a radius of tens of miles? Although you guys can’t compare to her, you are not bad born!”

As if trying to find an ally, she turned to Charlotte: "He invited Jane and Lizzie to dance that day, didn't he?"

Mrs. Bennet can always choose to see only what she wants to see. Charlotte is a little embarrassed. This lady has a proud and ostentatious tone, which makes her not know how to answer, because Mr. Darcy also invited Mrs. Do yourself a dance.

"Mom, a dance doesn't mean anything! Besides, Mr. Darcy owns half of Derbyshire, and his mother's family is even an aristocrat. Why do you think we can marry him? Of course, I also think that love is the most important thing." It's important, but we also need to be more practical." Elizabeth interjected.

"It's because you have nothing, so after marrying him, you can promote other poor sisters!" Mrs. Bennet was a little angry: "Licky, don't you sympathize with my fragile nerves? I am doing it for you My sister's marriage has broken my heart! Well, well, even if you don't think you are worthy of Mr. Darcy, at least we have Jane in our family! I can't believe he has seen a prettier girl than Jane!"

Elizabeth really felt helpless with her mother's thinking, not to mention that she never felt inferior to think that she was not worthy of a gentleman with good conditions. Mrs. Bennet's words made her a little embarrassed. Charlotte and Jane quickly changed the topic and brought up her baby girl Lydia.

Although Mrs. Bennet is a stubborn person, she has the advantage of being forgetful. When preparing for the prom dress, she has already forgotten the verbal disputes with her second daughter during the day and reminded her to dress up.

"Although I don't have any hope for you, Lizzie, you are not as beautiful as Jane or as obedient as my Lydia, but there are at least three unmarried upper-class gentlemen tonight! Even if Mr. Bingley has a sweetheart, if he is not engaged, he is a man. The heart is still very fickle, you work hard, and you also have some hope..."

Elizabeth once again reminded herself to be patient, never to be angry with her mother... This is really stupid!

Fortunately, after Mrs. Bennet unknowingly said something unpleasant, she went out of the room again to 'exhort' the other daughters, so that Elizabeth could have a chance to calm down.

In any case, it was time for the dance.

Mrs. Bennet kept paying attention to the direction of the door until she finally saw those well-dressed ladies and gentlemen coming in. There were more people than she thought, there were four men in total, so two of the ladies It looks like the stars are holding the moon.

"Miss Bingley is too thin and conservatively dressed. Is this kind of clothing popular in London? That's really bad!" She picked on Caroline's outfit, and then set her sights on a velvet red dress. On Louisa: "The other lady is very beautiful, but her vision of choosing a male partner is really unflattering."

The kind Mr. Bennett reminded: "That is Mrs. Hurst and her husband. She is Mr. Bingley's eldest sister."

Mrs. Bennett's eyes lit up when she heard these words, she didn't have the consciousness to control the volume at all, and said a little excitedly: "It seems that the Bingley family's standard for choosing a mate is not very strict, which is really good news."

Elizabeth and Jane, who were beside her, were embarrassed and wished they could disappear at once.

Fortunately, the parties under discussion didn’t seem to notice their mother’s eloquent remarks. When Mr. Bingley came to greet the Bennett family, his attitude was still refreshing, and Mr. Darcy’s trip to Hertfordshire this time was not cold. The face is so reluctant that it leaves the impression of being arrogant and rude, and Richard is even better at socializing. Standing together, three men with different styles can blind the eyes of these small town girls.

And they are both unmarried!

No matter how uneasy Caroline was, seeing the three gentlemen standing among the wolves like fleshy bones at this moment, she couldn't help laughing, and she rolled her eyes gloatingly.She immediately lowered her head to cover it up, but unfortunately, a gentleman who was silently watching her almost all the time found out quickly, and then Caroline felt a big hand on the middle of her waist.

She is so familiar with Mr. Darcy's breath... Caroline's face is a little hot, and there are so many people here, and Louisa is right next to them, so his behavior is too obvious!

Caroline glared at him vaguely, and quickly stepped forward to talk to Jane.Darcy put down his hand freely behind him, and then exchanged a glance with Louisa beside him.

—What is the matter, Mr. Darcy?

—As you can see, Miss Louisa.

Darcy nodded and smiled at her, and continued to follow Caroline with his eyes.

"I sprained my ankle accidentally these few days, so it's not easy to invite you to my house."

Hearing that Caroline was injured, Jane naturally asked about her injury in a gentle voice. Caroline was about to say that she had almost recovered when she heard Mrs. Bennett next to her say loudly: "As soon as the injury is cured, Jane will be invited Netherfield? You are very kind, Miss Bingley, and believe me, Jane must be the best companion, and all the ladies in Meryton are fond of her!"

Caroline was speechless for a while, but seeing Jane's blushing face, she felt sympathetic again, after all, it was her mother.Caroline had no choice but to follow the trend: "Yes Ma'am, I like her too."

Maybe it's because he didn't have feelings for Jane. Even Charles couldn't resist Mrs. Bennet's "talkativeness". Only Richard still looked normal, with a decent smile like listening, which made Caroline very admired.Fortunately, the music played soon, and the first dance had already begun.

Charles still didn't really want to be the little prince at the ball, he turned his head and glanced at his friend, the meaning was self-evident.

Darcy will not care about him anymore, especially because of him, he was forced to accept the 'underground love'.

Darcy turned his gaze and saw Richard who was about to ask Caroline to introduce Jane to him, and he walked over without hesitation.

"Richard, don't you have something to ask Charles?" He 'reminded' solemnly.

Richard was stunned for a moment, and then he woke up under the gaze of Mr. Darcy's deep eyes... Sure enough, there is no such thing as a free lunch, and he wanted to see the excitement of Mr. Darcy and Mr. , this kind of thinking is simply too stupid and naive!

Richard, who wanted Mr. Darcy, was pushed out, and his plan to 'encounter' a beautiful country girl died. He only hoped that he didn't have to rack his brains all night to 'chat happily' with Mr. Bingley.

"Caroline, the dance has just begun. Although you can't dance, you shouldn't occupy Miss Bennett. This will disappoint many men." The deep voice has a sense of presence, and Caroline can hardly ignore it , and I don't know if it was a good agreement, but as soon as he finished speaking, a gentleman came to invite Jane to dance.

Caroline could only smirk and let go of Jane's hand, and then Mr. Darcy put her hand in his own. The movement was as natural as if he had done it countless times, and she blushed for him!

"Who says I can't dance? Mr. Darcy, look at so many ladies without a partner, you should dance too!" She complained dissatisfiedly with a puffy face.

Then she was pretty sure she heard a chuckle, so good it made her heart skip a beat.

"I don't dare to like others, so how dare I ask the girl next to me to dance?"

"..." This is definitely mocking her!absolute!

"However, if you want to dance, I can allow you to accept the dance invitation from the most stable man present, so that if you suddenly hurt your feet and cannot stand still, I will be the one to help you."

Caroline always knew that he should be very confident in herself, but what about being reserved and deep?Is this style right?

She stared at him dumbfounded, and Darcy looked back innocently, as if asking 'Is there something wrong? '

"Oh, I thought you were talking about Sir Lucas! He is the most 'steady' of the people present." Caroline pouted at the fat Sir who was chatting with someone a few steps away, thinking that she could get something from him. She made a small comeback, but when she raised her eyes, she found that he was staring at her blankly, his eyes were like a magnetic field, like a net, which made her want to escape but couldn't move.

"terribly sorry……"

Caroline was confused by such inexplicable words.

"But I've always been curious." He suddenly raised his hand to cover her face, stroking her lips with his thumb: "Why is it so small?"

A gentleman passing by looked at this scene with some surprise, and then quickly smiled understandingly, and nodded to them 'lovingly', which made Caroline's ears burn.Suddenly, I thought of that day, under the flower vine, he leaned forward, his backlit face was so handsome that she couldn't breathe, and then he asked, "Can I kiss you?"

Do you want to do such innocent things with such taboo actions, language and expressions every time!

If you want to say that she has a small mouth, just say it!Kiss the forehead and don't act like an idol drama!Caroline was really annoyed, she raised her hand to hug his thumb, and bit it directly.
