According to Georgiana, the atmosphere in the Bingley family was not harmonious, and she did not disclose the specific situation, but according to Mrs. Sharron's source of gossip, the Bingley family was not optimistic about Miss Bennet except for Mr. Bingley. Given his family background and dowry, Mr. Bingley's pressure can be imagined.But he withstood the pressure and still admired Miss Bennet's beautiful appearance and gentle personality.The Bennet family is very satisfied with Mr. Bingley and obviously hopes that the two can enter into marriage.

Regarding the above gossip, it’s not that Serena has never thought of asking Georgiana, she will always know some more detailed things, but considering Georgiana’s concern for her brother, let’s forget it, if Serena asks Mr. Darcy if Pay attention to Miss Elizabeth, maybe Georgiana can keep staring at his brother, and maybe even ask his brother, and then the unlucky one is still herself, so Serena can only hold back the villain in her heart who wants to gossip, Shaking her shoulders, don't make trouble for yourself for gossip, okay?

Gossip about the Bennets and the Bingleys was swirling in Longborn.But gossip is all about freshness.The latest gossip at Longbourne was that Mr. Collins, the Bennet heir, had come to Longbourne, visited and stayed with the Bennets.Mr. Collins, who is also a bachelor, is a pastor and will inherit all the land and assets of Mr. Bennet, which makes him a qualified son-in-law candidate. Mrs. Bennet treats him very warmly.

Within a week, Mr. Collins, who had no chance to get in touch with other girls, quickly proposed to Miss Mary Bennet. Miss Mary agreed, and she would become the first married girl of the Bennet family, and she would also instantly become a member of the Bennet family. savior.

This development surprised Serena and surprised the people of Longbourne. Mr. Collins proposed marriage so quickly that the object of the proposal skipped the two beautiful elderly Miss Bennet and chose the Bennet family. The only plain-looking girl, what kind of aesthetic is this, or Mrs. Bennet has the magic to make Mr. Collins as she wishes.

It has to be said that everyone thinks that the Bennet family has had good luck recently. One daughter is engaged, and the other daughter is being pursued by Mr. Bingley. They are developing normally and are about to enter the rhythm of marriage.

There are no secrets in a small village like Longbourn. At some point, the news that the second Miss Bennet was favored by Mr. Darcy spread in Longbourne, which can explain why Mr. Collins proposed to The Bennet family is the third miss, because the eldest miss has Mr. Bingley, and the second miss has Mr. Darcy.The Mrs. Longbourn, who are good at making up stories, didn't think there was anything wrong with Mr. Darcy, who had neglected Miss Elizabeth at the first ball, and now he was in love with her. A beauty and a gentleman were perfect.A pair of good friends marrying a pair of sisters is a good story.

The Bennets were officially the most envied family of all Mrs. Longbourne.

Such explosive gossip swept Longborn like a typhoon, and soon the people living in Netherfield Gardens also heard the rumor. Mr. Bingley and Georgiana looked at Mr. Darcy for answers very curiously. Mr. Bingley The younger sister was very angry, thinking that this was a false rumor, and eagerly looked at Mr. Darcy begging to deny it.Mr. Darcy was very calm, and replied calmly: "I have no love for Miss Elizabeth for the time being."

This answer is really unsatisfactory to other people. It can be said that it is denied, temporarily, or admitted, but Mr. Darcy also clearly stated that he is not in love with her now.For a while, everyone digested Mr. Darcy's answer quietly.

Georgiana, who came to the Jin family this day, also complained to Serena about her brother's elusiveness. According to Georgiana's understanding, her brother did not admire Miss Elizabeth, but her brother has always been a rigorous person, so for the rigor of his language The word "temporary" was added.Serena and Charlotte did not refute Georgiana, who was secretly controlled by her brother, but Charlotte still asked Georgiana: "Don't you like Elizabeth?"

"No, but I don't really like them. The main reason is that people in their family are a bit rude. I don't care about their family background and dowry like my brother and Miss Bingley, but their family is really not very likable. .”

"But they are beautiful girls themselves, aren't they?"

"Yes, Miss Jane and Miss Elizabeth are beautiful and good girls."

"I don't know who reported that Mr. Darcy favored Elizabeth. It is said that Mr. Darcy pays close attention to her whenever Elizabeth is present." Charlotte asked what Serena had always wanted to ask. Serena I applaud Charlotte in my heart.

"Why, why didn't I find out?" Georgiana tried to recall.

"They said that Mr. Darcy liked Elizabeth's beautiful big eyes. I noticed that Mr. Darcy looked at Elizabeth several times at the last dance." Charlotte, who was talking about the key point again, asked Serena to continue to applaud her for her strength.

"But my brother said that he is not in love with Miss Elizabeth now."

"But Mr. Darcy really cares about Elizabeth. You know, anyone's every move at the ball may be seen by others, let alone Mr. Darcy, who is so eye-catching. We don't know the real situation. But under the current situation, it may be difficult to dispel this rumor." Charlotte said realistically.

Miss Elizabeth Bennet, as the central figure in the rumors, really doesn’t understand why this happened. As a girl who was dismissed by Mr. Darcy for not being beautiful enough and did not dance with Mr. Darcy at first sight, is it because she went to take care of the sick People think of Jane like this because she had a little relationship with Mr. Darcy, so isn't Miss Bingley, who has been under the same roof with Mr. The way to meet a person is to hold him and tell him that he has nothing to do with Mr. Darcy.The way to deal with the rumors can only be to let them go. After a while, there will be new rumors, and everyone should not hold on to them. Elizabeth, who is helpless and crazy, can only comfort herself in this way.

Mr. Darcy didn't care about gossip at first, he didn't care about other people's eyes and words, but his dear sister cared, so he was also a little troubled.
