Miss King in Pride and Prejudice

Chapter 20 The dance begins

The ball started, and the guests arrived one after another. When Serena and Charlotte arrived, many people had already arrived. There were so many people, it was very lively.

Soon, Mr. Bingley and his party also arrived. Georgiana found Serena in the crowd. She let go of her brother's hand, looked at her brother, and got a nod from her brother, then turned to Serena. When she came, Serena also saw Mr. Darcy nodding to greet her. Serena, who felt that she was treated so politely because of Georgiana's honor, immediately returned the salute in flattery.

Serena, Georgiana, and Charlotte didn't have any interest in dancing, so they found a corner where they could observe the dance party and chat to watch the excitement. The three of them chatted about the performance of each family very much, and of course lowered their voices. , whispering and communicating.Both Charlotte and Serena focused on observing Mr. Bingley and his sisters, and found that people's evaluation of Mr. Bingley was very correct. He was a handsome and polite gentleman, and he also had a small body that conformed to the trend, and he was very fair. Thin and thin, from Serena's point of view, after marrying such a person, she doesn't know who will protect whom.Mr. Bingley's older and younger sisters were proud and self-important persons, and their manners were courteous and gentle, but condescending self-satisfaction was evident, or too lazy to conceal.

The dance started, and the three of them were low-key people, sitting in the corner again. Of course, no one came to invite them to dance, and the three of them were having fun, watching the lively dance floor.After a few scenes, it can be seen that Mr. Bingley fell in love with Miss Jane Bennet at first sight. His admiration was almost written on his face. At the same time, he also danced politely with other girls. It can be seen that he is a man who enjoys social life.

Mr. Darcy still went his own way in the ball with boys and girls, and walked around the ball with wine.Both Serena and Charlotte thought Mr. Darcy was a great person, didn't he catch everyone's attention?

Mr. Darcy walked towards the corner where the three of them were, and the three of them immediately looked back at Mr. Darcy and looked at the crowd on the dance floor.

"Georgianna, why don't you dance at the ball?" Mr. Darcy frowned and looked at the three leisurely ladies.

"I'm busy watching the excitement." Georgiana said bluntly, Mr. Darcy's face turned dark, Serena smiled, and Charlotte explained seriously: "It just so happens that no one invited us to dance."

"Georgianna, come dance with me." Mr. Darcy stretched out his hand to invite the dance with a dark face.

It's a pity that Georgiana didn't appreciate it, "Brother, you don't look like you want to invite me to dance, but you want to teach me a lesson, so I won't go."

Mr. Darcy, who was rejected by his sister, had to withdraw his hand, and stood stiffly by the side. Georgiana glared at her brother rather resentfully, and signaled Mr. Darcy to invite Serena to dance with her eyes.Reluctantly, this wink was also caught by Serena. Serena didn't want to dance with Mr. Darcy, who was obviously a little unhappy now, so why did she have nothing to do to make trouble for herself? She said first: "I'll get a drink Yes, Georgiana, Charlotte, what do you drink? I'll bring it for you."

Mr. Darcy, who was already about to extend his hand to invite the dancer, had no choice but to extend his hand to Charlotte. Naturally, Charlotte could see that Mr. Darcy was in a bad mood, and she was reluctant to invite the dancer, but she was also reluctant, okay? Helpless, then It was she who said not to dance because no one invited her to dance, so she could only bite the bullet and agreed to Mr. Darcy's invitation to dance. Before stepping off the dance floor, Charlotte looked at Serena and Georgiana resentfully, The two looked at the helpless Charlotte with a smile.

Although Mr. Darcy doesn't like to dance, he has good dancing skills. While dancing, he noticed that Serena and Georgiana took their drinks and went back to the corner, chatting with smiles on their faces.This made the corners of Mr. Darcy's mouth tighter when he was already unhappy.

Looking at Mr. Darcy with a stiff face and no intention of talking, Charlotte sighed silently in her heart, she couldn't be embarrassed and silent for a dance.Charlotte had to speak first: "What does Mr. Darcy think of Longbourne?"

"The scenery is good." Mr. Darcy's stiff evaluation seemed to be forced to say praises.

"The people here are also very beautiful, aren't they?" Charlotte pretended not to see Mr. Darcy's reluctance to praise, and joked with a smile to show Mr. Darcy to look at Miss Bennet who was dancing and joking with Mr. Bingley.But this joke seemed to have the opposite effect. Mr. Darcy's mouth tightened. He glanced at the whole ball with some indifference, "Miss Bennet is indeed a beauty." Then there was no more, Charlotte also I was too lazy to start the topic, so I stamped Mr. Darcy and wrote: "Difficult to communicate."

After a dance, Mr. Darcy sent Charlotte back to Georgiana and Serena and went to find Mr. Bingley. Serena and Georgiana went up to ask Charlotte how she felt?

"During a dance, we each said a few words, I asked a few questions, and Mr. Darcy replied a few words. I think I must have offended this gentleman somewhere."

"What did you say?" Georgiana, who looked like an older brother, and Serena, who looked exactly like that, asked at the same time.

"What can I say, I asked Mr. Darcy about Longbourne, and he complimented stiffly: 'The scenery is nice.' I joked that Miss Bennet was also beautiful, and he completely stiffly agreed that she was a beauty."

"And then?" asked Georgiana, who felt absurd.

"There's no more, the four sentences are over." This was the answer from Charlotte who helplessly spread her hands.

In the background is Serena who is holding her stomach and laughing hard.Serena looked at Georgiana, who was frowning tightly, and added fuel to the fire: "It seems that your brother not only doesn't like me, but also doesn't like Longborn, and he doesn't like beautiful women? It's really special, hehe..."

Georgiana was completely furious, "I will talk to my brother, and tell my brother your evaluation by the way."

Serena didn't expect Georgiana to fight back like this, and her emerald green eyes widened in shock, "Don't, Georgiana, I'm joking, don't tell Mr. Darcy, or he will hate me even more, don't let me What are you going to do with me?"

Georgiana, who couldn't answer, just stared at Serena and said nothing.

Looking at the childish Serena and the speechless Georgiana, Charlotte had no choice but to act as a peacemaker, "Mr. Darcy is just not good at expressing himself, it would be nice to meet a woman he likes."

Serena also chimed in: "Yes, yes, Mr. Darcy probably hasn't met anyone he likes yet, I was joking earlier, please don't be angry with me."

"I'm not angry with you, I'm angry brother, do you think my brother won't be able to find a wife if he continues like this?"

"You think too much, Georgiana. You forget that there are many women lining up behind your brother waiting for his favor. As long as he is willing, you will have a sister-in-law immediately, so he is not in a hurry."

The three of them chatted quietly in the corner. By the dance floor, the show began.
