Miss King in Pride and Prejudice

Chapter 22 Something Is Not Right

Because of last night's dance, Serena got up a little late the next day, and Mrs. Sharon's gossip did not cheer her up when she was dressing up. It was rare for the lazy Serena to listen to Mrs. The gossip at the ball, but there is nothing new, Mr. Bingley, who is already the perfect son-in-law in the eyes of the wives, favors Longborn's number one beauty, Jane Bennet.Mr. Darcy was a little arrogant and ignored Elizabeth Bennet, who was also a famous beauty.What is more surprising is people's evaluation of Mr. Darcy. Except for the Bennet family, everyone says he is a somewhat proud but rich gentleman. I have to say that the people of Longbourn seem to be surprisingly tolerant of rich bachelors. The last few dances between Mr. Darcy and the Longbourn girl had quite saved Mr. Darcy's image with the people of Longbourne.

Serena, who had no appetite, drank a small bowl of vegetable porridge for breakfast. Georgiana was probably resting today, so she didn't come to visit anyway.

At tea time, Charlotte and Serena talked about yesterday's dance, seeing that Serena was still not interested, Charlotte asked: "What did Mr. Darcy tell you yesterday? It made you unhappy until now. "

"Actually, I didn't say anything. You know I went to watch the excitement yesterday, but I saw the excitement. It also provoked questions from Mr. Darcy. You know I hate trouble."

"What did he ask you?"

"He seemed to think that I overheard his conversation with Mr. Bingley and then spoke ill of him to Georgiana. God, how could my hearing be so good? I said I didn't hear it, and he asked me how I knew. Yes, I can't say that it was Miss Elizabeth who heard it and told you and we knew it. I satirized him when he said in public that he should be prepared to be heard and then spread. Mr. Darcy stared at people with a straight face. It's scary and annoying, no amount of money can change his annoying nature, and having a lovely sister like Georgiana can't change his arrogant facial paralysis." Serena complained, rolling her eyes , the cute appearance made Charlotte laugh non-stop.

"Mr. Darcy is so rude to me, and you are threatening me with a straight face and staring eyes, and you are still laughing, Charlotte, you have no sympathy!"

Charlotte couldn't stop laughing, "Hehe, anyway, you also laughed at him, and you also caused him to be taught a lesson by Georgiana, and finally satirized him, so you didn't suffer."

"I didn't mean it, but he did it on purpose. How could it be the same?"

"He's Georgiana's brother. What can you do to him?"

"I'm going to complain to Georgiana. I shouldn't have told Georgiana yesterday that her brother made things difficult for me. I regret it now, Charlotte. You said I should write to Georgiana and tell her now, okay?"

Looking at Serena who was obviously begging for agreement, Charlotte nodded stiffly.

"Okay, I'm going to write a letter now." Serena said as she put down the half-eaten afternoon tea and walked back to her study to write a letter. Charlotte, who was left behind, shook her head and continued her work. afternoon tea time.

Driven by anger, Serena quickly finished writing the letter to Georgiana. In the letter, she explained her pitiful experience yesterday and how she didn't want to trouble Georgiana. After thinking about it, I still think that I should tell Georgiana, expressing sadness and fear for Mr. Darcy's misunderstanding and questioning of myself, and also worrying that Mr. Darcy will prevent Georgiana from interacting with her.The whole letter did not say anything bad about Mr. Darcy, and there was self-blame and worry between the lines.She checked the letter again and found that there was no problem. Serena gritted her teeth with a smile. Poor Mr. Darcy, if you dared to scare me yesterday, you would be prepared to be sued.Happily thinking about Mr. Darcy, who was most likely to be taught by Georgiana, Serena asked for a letter to be delivered to Miss Georgiana Darcy at Netherfield Gardens.

The next day, Georgiana came to visit. Unexpectedly, Mr. Darcy also came. The atmosphere froze for a while. The two sides said hello, and Mr. Darcy left to greet Mr. Jin.Serena and Charlotte breathed a sigh of relief, and pulled Georgiana to sit down, "Why is your brother here too?" Serena asked.

"Let my brother come and apologize to you."

"You don't jest, I can't stand it. I didn't write yesterday for the precious apology of the honorable Mr. Darcy."

"Serina, don't hate my brother, okay?"

"I don't hate him, but I don't like him very much. Don't worry, I will try my best not to quarrel with him face to face."

"Serina!" Georgiana couldn't laugh or cry.

This matter came to an end very quickly, Mr. Darcy did not apologize, and Serena did not mention it again. What exactly everyone thinks, this is only known to everyone.

The next ball was held at Sir Lucas's house. Charlotte went to the ball, but Serena didn't. She stayed at home with Mr. King. Anyway, the balls in Longbourne are similar. Gossip at the ball can go to Sharon. Mrs. or Charlotte, Serena chatted with her grandfather at home with peace of mind.

On the second day of the ball, Mrs. Sharron told Serena that yesterday's ball was still very lively. Mr. Bingley and Miss Jane Bennet had a good talk throughout the ball. Mr. Darcy was still proud, but he was still polite. Some girls were invited to dance a few times, and Miss Darcy was a lovely, well-mannered girl too, but not much of a dancer.

While chatting with Charlotte, Serena asked about last night's gossip, "How was yesterday? Did you have a good time?"

"It was very lively yesterday. Mr. Darcy pursed his lips and invited the ladies to dance very funny."

"Did Mr. Darcy invite Miss Elizabeth to dance?"

"Mr. Darcy did not dance with Elizabeth."

"I was asking if there was any invitation. I think Miss Elizabeth would refuse if she was invited."

"I remember well that Mr. Darcy did not invite Elizabeth."

After getting the answer, Serena only thought it was unscientific. Could it be that Mr. Darcy's rejection by Elizabeth wasn't the ball?Serena continued to ask: "Has Mr. Darcy been paying attention to Miss Elizabeth?"

"Let me think about it. Mr. Darcy has been paying attention to Georgiana and Mr. Bingley, but not to Elizabeth. Why do you pay so much attention to Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth?"

"Don't you think there is something between them?" Serena looked forward to the ambiguity.

"I didn't notice it at all, but Elizabeth really hates Mr. Darcy, and thinks he is too arrogant and rude." Charlotte threw Serena's cold water.

Serena always felt that something was wrong, but she didn't remember the specific plot of Pride and Prejudice anymore, she only knew the general idea, so she couldn't be sure whether the plot was off the rails.
