Miss King in Pride and Prejudice

This busy ball at Baron Jones's house was just the beginning of Serena's social life in London. Almost every song is danced, and every time I go home, I need to recuperate for a few days. Mr. Jin is also distressed, but he still arranges many dances as usual. What makes Serena speechless is that there are more and more dance invitations Sent, it's been a busy social season as you can imagine, at least for Serena it's been damn busy.

Fortunately, after a few dances, Serena also got used to such a high-intensity social life, and the dancing sessions were no longer so full. Serena felt that she was alive again, even though she still had to spend most of the dance on the dance floor Time, but she can finally take a break from time to time and chat with friends.Serena felt that life was still good, the air was still fresh, and even the gloomy weather in London seemed brighter.

In Serena's view, the dance parties in London are all similar, gorgeous and spacious venues, exquisite and delicious meals, drinks of different colors, gorgeously dressed ladies, serious and straight gentlemen, dance floors with people coming and going, There are also people spinning in the dance music.

Whether the prom is similar or not depends on where you are. Lilia thinks that the prom is the most annoying.Lilia, the eldest lady of the Black family, who is about to hold a ball, has been miserable recently. She was brought by Mrs. Black and helped with all the preparations for the dance. She thought of Mrs. Black who was unique, her own mother who kept telling her everything in her ears, and all kinds of commanding and teaching to her mother, the adults, which annoyed Lilia enough.

To put it simply, she was very busy, and Mrs. Black, who was busy directing her own daughter, annoyed Lilia and hid in Jin's house. The Jin family eats, drinks, and lives. Anyway, it will be clean for two more days.It made the grandparents of the Jin family laugh bitterly, Mr. Jin smiled and let the little girls play by themselves before going back to the study.Serena was having a headache, keeping Lilia was naturally a trivial matter for her, the key was what the Black family thought.

"Does your mother know that you are coming to my house?" Serena asked helplessly Lilia who was holding her arms and said "You will never abandon me, right?" This dumb method represents the black line.

"Of course I don't know, but she will know if she asks. I don't want to go back and accompany my mother to review the details of the prom for the 101st time. You will take me in, right." Lilia, who was completely frightened by her mother, replied.

"It's not up to me. Of course I would like you to stay with me, but if your mother asks for someone, can I hold you back?" Serena asked more helplessly, almost sticking to her body. Lilia.

"Mom won't come, all her energy is now on the dance the day after tomorrow, you just need to take me in for two days." Lilia saw every trick and would not give up until she achieved her goal.

Serena was speechless, so she could only promise her friend conditionally: "As long as no one comes to pick you up, I'll let you stay at my house and serve you, Miss, with food, drink and accommodation. That's fine. "

Lilia, who wanted to answer, ignored Serena's conditions: "I know Serena is a kind-hearted friend, haha."

"You came early in the morning, have you had breakfast?"

"I ate it, but I only ate a little bit. You can order some snacks or something. I want pea yellow." Lilia didn't know what being polite was, and ordered food.

"Okay, I'll let someone prepare it. You're obviously older than me, so why are you acting like a child?" Serena said Lilia naively.

Lilia immediately sat up straight, with a ladylike posture, and said with a gentle smile: "Miss Jin is wrong to say that, how can a woman's age be discussed at will."

Serena was amused by her face-changing in a second, and collapsed on the sofa laughing.

"Is it that funny?" Lilia couldn't hold back the lady's smile, and laughed too.

"Do you want to ask Georgiana to come with you? Recently, we often meet at dances but we don't have a chance to have a good chat." Serena finally smiled and suggested.

"Okay, but you're the only one who doesn't get a chance to chat at the ball, and we're both stuck together."

Serena, who was trampled on her sore foot, glared at Lilia, and decided to ignore the second part of her sentence, "I'm going to write to invite Georgiana to have lunch, and Mrs. Sharron will sit with you for a while, and I'll come back soon." .”

"Go ahead and get someone to clean up a guest room for me. I'm going to live in it today."

"Okay, don't worry, Miss Black." Serena walked away first.

Mrs. Sharron entertained Lilia skillfully, and the two chatted harmoniously about a common topic among women—maintenance. Before chatting a few words, Serena came back, and Mrs. Sharron sat down for a while before she was busy. opened.

"What about Charlotte, I haven't seen her recently." Lilia asked Serena.

"She's been very busy recently. She's been so busy with holding the auction. I don't see her very much, but she's been in high spirits recently, and she seems to be very busy." Serena smiled knowingly.

"What kind of expression is that on your face? Could it be that Charlotte has something to gossip about?"

"Whether there is any gossip will wait for her to finish her work. If it is a happy event, I will share it with you."

"It seems that Charlotte's good news is coming soon. You must tell me when the time comes. I like hearing gossip about happy endings the most."

"it is good……"

The two sat on the sofa and chatted intimately, and the time passed quickly. During this period, Georgiana wrote back and said that she would be invited to come.

Sure enough, Georgiana arrived before lunch, and the three of them had lunch with Mr. King, Charlotte and Mr. Brown. After the meal, Mr. King, Charlotte and Mr. Brown went to their own business, leaving the three idlers to take a walk in the garden .

There is no beautiful scenery in the King's Garden in London in winter. The three of them just take a walk after dinner and chat.

"Isn't that Mr. Brown a good thing for Charlotte?" Lilia, who was smart, discovered the clue after lunch, and had to say that she had good observation skills.

"You mean that Charlotte and this Mr. Brown may be engaged?" Georgiana, who became more and more clever, also quickly grasped the point of the gossip.

"The hero sees the same thing, but they are too busy now, I can't disturb them to do business just to ask gossip." Serena said that the guess of the two is reliable.

Because of the limited gossip information, this chapter of Charlotte will be turned over first. Georgiana and Lilia have been very interested in Serena's oriental jewelry since the last ball at the baron's house. Now they finally have time. The man naturally pulled Serena to ask non-stop, and Serena was also generous, directly taking the two of them to her room to let them see the real thing.

Seeing a series of filigree hairpins in the form of various flowers, both of them envied the owner of the hairpins very much.

"Serina, where did you get these hairpins?" Lilia looked at the hairpins without blinking.

"Yeah, I haven't seen it before." Georgiana who was also reluctant to blink.

Serena looked at the two with a smile, "I, Mr. Tuo Brown, brought it from the Qing Dynasty. There are not many in total. Except for this set, I have two or three sets that will be auctioned. I will give it to you at that time." Just look at the auction catalogue.”

"Is there such a hairpin in the auction?" The two asked in unison.

"Yes, they are all made of filigree, but in different shapes, do you all want them?" Serena thought that British girls would not like such completely oriental things too much, and they must be changed according to the British aesthetics to attract them. Eyeballs, she obviously underestimated women's pursuit of beautiful things.

"Of course." The two still spoke in unison again.

"I knew it earlier, so I left it for you. Now that the preparations are almost finished, I can't ask Mr. Brown to keep it for you, so I have to let you do the filming yourself."

"It's okay, let's shoot it ourselves, right, Lilia." Georgiana thought it was nothing.

"Well, as long as there are more." This is Lilia who is also rich and powerful.

For the two friends who regard money as dung, Serena expressed her shame.She found other oriental ornaments she had left behind, and gave Lilia and Georgiana a red coral bracelet each.The bright red coral and the fair skin of the two girls are very beautiful, and they both like it very much.

Soon, the three of them returned to the living room, having refreshments, chatting topics flying around.

Lilia complained to Georgiana about her mother's oppression of her, and said she would hide at Serena's house.Georgiana was also envious of Lilia being able to stay overnight, but unfortunately she knew her brother well, and it was not impossible for her to stay overnight, but at least the roads would be blocked by heavy snow, but judging by the current weather, there was no hope.

Before Lilia was proud, Georgiana was envious, and the maid said to the three of them, "Mr. Landis Black is visiting."

"Why is brother here!" Lilia, who reacted the most, stood up from the sofa.

Serena also stood up, and said to the maid: "Mr. Black, please come in. Send someone to tell grandfather to see if he is free. Clean up and serve tea again."

"Mr. Black has come to tell Lilia to go back?" asked Georgiana.

"I don't know." Serena looked at Lilia who was also surprised.

Soon, Mr. Black followed the maid into the living room. Mr. Jin was already there. After greeting each other, they sat down.Mr. Black didn't repeat his politeness, and went straight to the point: "I'm here to pick up my sister. I'm preparing for the dance at home. My mother really doesn't have time, so she entrusts me to bring my sister home."

Lilia was obviously very depressed. She didn't expect her mother to ask her brother to arrest her and go home. At first, she thought that with her brother's cunning, as long as he didn't want to, her mother would not be able to succeed. She didn't expect her brother to be unreasonable It's strange to play cards.

Mr. Black solemnly thanked the grandparents of the Jin family for taking care of his younger sister, and said goodbye to Georgiana politely, and then took his sullen younger sister home, leaving everyone with a calm and steady impression.

On the Black family's carriage, Lilia was complaining to Mr. Black: "Brother, haven't you always been reluctant to visit people with unmarried women? How did Mom let you agree to come to Jin's house that you don't want to come to?"

"Because I didn't want to come to Jin's house." Seeing his sister's eyes widened in surprise, he continued to say slowly, "I came here voluntarily." Then he closed his eyes and smiled, leaving Lily behind. Ya digested her brother's meaning in surprise.
