Miss King in Pride and Prejudice

When dinner was approaching, Serena returned home and ended her unsatisfactory trip to the fan shop. She received two letters, one from Lilia, as expected, and one from Caroline Miss Bingley, totally unexpected.

Out of curiosity about Miss Bingley's letter, Serena opened her letter first. The letter was very simple. She hoped to visit after breakfast tomorrow. Serena was a little puzzled.But still replied a text message to welcome her visit.Then he opened Lilia's letter, and Lilia was still very righteous. In the letter, she explained in detail her mother's intention to match Serena and Lilia's brother. To put it simply, tomorrow's afternoon tea is actually At the blind date meeting, Lilia also explained in detail her brother's naughty and naughty personality, and the idea that he still has not settled down at the age of 25, so that Serena doesn't need to take it too seriously, but her mother seems to be very satisfied with Serena, so let Serena Rina prepares herself a little.

If Miss Bingley's letter made Serena's head full of question marks, then Lilia's letter made Seri's head full of exclamation points. She is only 17 years old, well, she will be 18 soon, but she is still very young.Isn't it too early for a blind date? Tomorrow is really an embarrassing day. In the morning, there is Miss Bingley, who is almost a complete stranger. In the afternoon, I have to go to a blind date. It's a good, "perfect" day.

The next day did not come again as Serena hoped. After a night of tossing and turning, the sleepy Serena had to get up on time, eat breakfast, and wait for Miss Bingley's visit.

For Miss Bingley, Serena has always stayed in the original book. If Mr. Wickham is the biggest villain in Pride and Prejudice, then Miss Caroline Bingley is the biggest villain. She loves Mr. Darcy, and it’s no problem for the female supporting role to love the male protagonist, but Miss Bingley has the courage to pursue Mr. Darcy and has been committed to smearing the heroine, Miss Elizabeth, and breaking up her own brother and the heroine’s sister. This is a "heinous crime". Compared with Mrs. Catherine, who even went to other people's homes to question and warn the plot, Miss Bingley sat firmly on the throne of the villain's female supporting role.

Serena sat on the sofa for a while, a little drowsy, and Mrs. Sharron pushed her and told her that Miss Bingley was coming.Serena quickly cheered herself up, and then got up to greet Miss Bingley. The two greeted Miss Bingley, exchanged a few words, sat down and served tea, and then fell silent.

As the host, Serena couldn't let the silence spread. She brought up the topic: "I didn't expect Miss Bingley to come to visit. I wonder what Miss Bingley wants from me?"

Miss Bingley is a straightforward girl, she said after a moment of pondering, "I am here on Mr. Darcy's business."

Serena couldn't hide her surprise, "Are you sure you didn't go to the wrong place?"

"I'm not in the wrong place, Miss King, do you know that Mr. Darcy favors you?"

"Sorry, I didn't see it at all." Her mouth was firm and her face was very calm, but Serena's heart was complicated. Georgiana said that Mr. Darcy liked her, but she didn't believe it because Georgiana was still young There are also some careless, her observations are always a little biased.But now that Miss Bingley said that Mr. Darcy favored her, she believed it a little bit, because Miss Bingley, who admired Mr. Darcy, must have paid close attention to Mr. Darcy, and her words were very credible.

"I can tell you with certainty that Mr. Darcy's attention to you has exceeded the limit."

"Mr. Darcy is also very concerned about Miss Elizabeth." Serena retorted with an example.

"That's because he also favors Miss Elizabeth."

"So you want to tell me that Mr. Darcy favors Miss Elizabeth and me at the same time?" Serena smiled mockingly, "Well, if that's the case, you can't just want to tell me, so what then?"

"If Mr. Darcy had to choose one of you, I would prefer you."

"I thought Miss Bingley admired Mr. Darcy. Shouldn't you want Mr. Darcy to choose you?" Serena asked politely.

"Yes, I have always regarded him as the most suitable gentleman for me, and he has never been attracted to other women, so I can't let him go. But he is still attracted to others."

Miss Bingley, who had only met a few times, had a sad look on her face, but how could they be comforted by their friendship and the current situation? Besides, Serena has no position to comfort her. The proud Miss Bingley would not want the sweetheart she identified as her sweetheart to comfort her. Serena thought for a while and asked: "Miss Bingley, I don't know It's not that I'm too dull, I still can't understand your purpose of coming today."

"I saw yesterday that you were not having a pleasant conversation with Mr. Darcy. I do not wish Mr. Darcy to be pushed over Miss Elizabeth's side, either for my own sake or for my brother's, so I am taking the liberty of calling. I hope Miss Jin can seize the opportunity."

"To be honest, my first reaction was to be happy when I heard you told me that Mr. Darcy favored me. After all, the favor of a good gentleman satisfies my vanity, but that's all. Mr. Darcy has only met a few times, and every conversation is not pleasant. I really don't like him. I really can't stand Miss Bingley entrusting him with such a heavy responsibility. Miss Bingley should know that if Darcy Mr. Xi really loves Miss Elizabeth, so no one can stop him, right?"

"Yes, but Mr. Darcy also favors you, and you are closer regardless of your status, and with Georgiana as a bridge, it is easier for you to be admired by Mr. Darcy, isn't it?"

"Miss Bingley, I'm sorry, I have no intention of winning Mr. Darcy's love. Would you like to have lunch at King's House? I'll have someone prepare it?" Serena found it difficult to communicate between the two, and she didn't want to force it.

"Oh..." Miss Bingley sighed, "No, I'm going to leave now, and I won't bother Miss King."

After Miss Bingley left, Serena was very thankful that no third person should have heard their awkward conversation.Miss Bingley's visit had complicated Serena's feelings, more precisely, with Mr. Darcy.If you can't figure it out, just let it go for a while, this is Serena's philosophy of life.

At lunch, Serena had regained her mood. She ate her lunch as usual, and then set off for Blake's house with the snacks prepared as gifts.

The Blake family is worthy of being a newly-rising wealthy capitalist. The decoration in the house is very magnificent. Look at the big crystal lamp, the spacious living room, and the rows of bowing maids. It feels like stepping into a different world in an instant. It turns out that Lilia is so talented. The child of Qian's family, Serena just wants to grab Lilia's hand: "Lord, let's be friends!"

Of course, this is just a small theater in Serena's heart. In fact, Serena's performance is very on the table, and she is completely generous. Mrs. Black is still enthusiastic, knowing that Serena has brought them home. For dessert, Mrs. Black immediately asked the maid to bring it up, and everyone sat down on the sofa.

Lilia first picked a lighter topic: "Mom, Serena's dim sum is very special. It was made by a chef from the Qing Dynasty."

Mrs. Black was very supportive. She tasted the dim sum brought by Serena and was full of praise, "The taste is very good, and it is also different from the British taste. Miss Jin's family seems to be more interested in the East, and even hired a chef from the Qing Dynasty. "

"Yes, the East is very mysterious. Their food, embroidery, and medical skills are all different from those in the UK. At the beginning, they also took care of their grandfather's body. We recruited doctors from the Qing Dynasty. Later, they paid more attention to all aspects of the East."

"How is Mr. Jin now?"

"The body is very strong now, and the doctors in the East are very good at treating and recuperating. Now that my grandfather is taking care of them, I am very relieved."

"It's reassuring that the family is in good health. Serena is really a good child with filial piety, and our children are worrying." Mrs. Black praised Serena and stomped on her children by the way.

Of course Serena knew that this was modesty, and she couldn't take it seriously. She smiled and said, "You praised me. When I was at school, Lilia often mentioned you and Mr. Black. I missed my loved ones. Everyone is the same. I really don't like it." It's a pleasure to receive such a compliment from you."

In this way, you came and I chatted about some things, and had some tea and snacks.

Mrs. Black seemed to see that she was a bit restrained in Serena: "Serina, talk to Lilia, I still have some things to do, but you must stay for dinner, so I can meet Lilia's brother and Father, is this okay?"

After Mrs. Black said so, Serena naturally agreed to stay for dinner and sent someone home to tell her grandfather.After achieving the goal, Mrs. Black walked away, leaving only Lilia and Serena in the hall, and the maids stood in the distance.Seeing her mother leave, Lilia immediately asked the maid to leave, and she sat next to Serena and whispered to her: "Are you curious that my brother is not here?"

"Didn't you say that, your mother would introduce your brother to me, did you lie about the military situation?"

"It's not that I lied, it's my brother who slipped away. My brother is so clever. As soon as he heard that his mother asked him to stay for afternoon tea, he knew something was wrong. He sneaked away after lunch, which made my mother angry, but Brother will always come back for dinner, so Mom must keep you."

"That's good too. It's better to get to know each other during dinner than to be embarrassed all afternoon."

"It's too early for you to rest assured. My mother won't give up so easily."

"Let's not talk about this. After Christmas, I want to play in London. The good news is that Georgiana is also joining. The bad news is that her brother Bingshan will take us to play. Do you want to come together?"

"You all go, I'm going too, just tell my parents. As for Georgiana's brother, it's a bit more serious, but it can't affect my desire to play with you."

"Then it's settled. I'll make an appointment at the exact time. Tomorrow, Georgiana invites me to her house for afternoon tea. She will also write to you."

"Who said no? She still complained to me a lot, blaming me for not calling her."

"Did you write her back?"

"Go back, I also told her the real reason why you came today."

"Did you tell her?!" Serena couldn't help raising her voice.

"Why did you react so strongly? Does Georgiana know what's wrong?" Lilia asked, who was taken aback.

"No, I'm just a little surprised." Serena herself felt that her reaction was a bit big, so she changed the subject, "Has your mother met Georgiana?"

"I've seen it. Are you wondering why my mother didn't introduce Georgiana to my brother?"

"Smart, why?"

"Because my mother didn't think of it at the time, and Georgiana was too young."

"Just to remind you, I'm only a year older than Georgiana."

"You're more mature, it's different. The most important thing is that my mom thought of it."

Regarding Lilia's answer, Serena was speechless.When it was time for dinner, Lilia's father and brother appeared. The older Mr. Black was a dignified gentleman, while the younger Mr. Black was a handsome young man who looked very steady. Not the hippie smile and naughtiness that Lilia said.Serena greeted them, sat down, and ended the dinner harmoniously. After the meal, Mr. Black quickly walked away, which made Serena see something about her brother and her pair of brothers that Lilia described. Completely helpless mother.

Serena stayed for a while and then left, ending this troubled day's itinerary.
