Miss King in Pride and Prejudice

Chapter 44 Encounter with the heroine

This afternoon, Georgiana and Lilia were still drawing, and Serena was sitting on the swing under the tree next to them with a book, reading a book, and chatting with two friends.

While chatting and talking about the news that someone came to visit earlier, Lilia expressed that she couldn't understand: "Why would Mr. Darcy agree to have a stranger visit his home? It's not an art gallery or a museum, it's a home, especially Isn't it strange when the master is here? Don't you feel inconvenient, Georgiana?"

"It seems that people come to visit our house occasionally, but they are all gentlemen and ladies, and when my brother and I are away, I don't feel anything, but this time everyone is here, and I don't think it's too good. But we Knowing Miss Elizabeth, it would not be good not to let them come..." Georgiana actually didn't agree with it, but felt that her brother also had his own concerns, and it would be too impolite to directly refuse.

"Do you know the people who are going to visit tomorrow?" Lilia said that this was news, but she didn't even know it.

"Except for you and Mr. Black, we all know Miss Elizabeth, but we don't know Mr. and Mrs. Gardiner. They must be relatives of Miss Elizabeth." Georgiana replied casually while drawing.

"How did you know each other? As far as my brother and I don't know each other, they shouldn't be socializing in London." Lilia didn't stop painting, but it didn't hinder her gossip.

"Didn't I go to the manor rented by Mr. Bingley with my brother and the Bingley family after graduation? Serena also lives nearby. Miss Elizabeth is a famous beauty there, and the five ladies in their family are all beauties , especially Missy, Miss Jane Bennet." Georgiana answered truthfully.

"Beauties always revolve around love stories, and then, who falls in love with whom? It can't be Mr. Darcy, it's Mr. Bingley, isn't it?" Lilia has always been clever and clever, and she grasped the key point at once.

"It was Miss Jane and Mr. Bingley, but Mr. Bingley left Longbourn for some unknown reason." Georgiana didn't know much either.

"Georgianna, why don't you have any curiosity, you don't know the love-hate entanglement that happened before you!" Lilia expressed her disappointment at Georgiana's ignorance, and she didn't have the heart to gossip at all.

"I'm not familiar with these two people, of course I don't know, you can ask Serena, maybe she knows." Georgiana reluctantly pushed the matter to Serena, really, how could she have everything I know, not to mention it's a private matter.

"Serina, you must know more than Georgiana, right?" Lilia looked expectantly at Serena who was sitting on the bookshelf and concentrating on reading.

But Serena didn't respond, and Lilia called out twice: "Serina! Serena..."

But Serena still didn't respond, Lilia and Georgiana looked at each other, put down their brushes and walked to Serina, only to find that Serena was staring at the book in a daze.Serena, who is almost a bookworm, is actually in a daze while reading a book, which is simply an anecdote.

Lilia waved her hand in front of Serena's eyes, and Serena blinked, then looked up at the two friends who surrounded her with raised eyebrows in doubt.

"I wanted to ask you if you knew about the sexual intercourse between Miss Jane and Mr. Bingley, but Miss Jin didn't respond at all, so we had to come and take a look." Lilia said angrily.Georgiana also nodded in agreement and supported Lilia.

"Mr. Bingley's sisters are not optimistic about the Bennet family. Mr. Bingley does not have the support of relatives and friends. Miss Jane is a very reserved person, so naturally she will not encourage Mr. Bingley. Then something happens in London. Mr. Bingley left." Normally, Serena would not want to talk about other people's private affairs, but in this situation, if she doesn't talk about other people's gossip, the fire might burn herself, so Serena Reina briefly explained the cause and effect, closed the book, got up, and decided to go back to the house to avoid it.

"Wow, it's the same as the story, Georgiana, you live in Bingley's house without Serena knowing clearly." Lilia complained about the ignorant Georgiana.

"I don't care. Even if they live together, they won't put such a private matter on the table. By the way, how did Serena know so much." Georgiana felt that it was normal for her not to know, yes It's not normal for Serena to know that much, okay?

"That's right, Serena, huh? Where's Serena?" Lilia just wanted to ask how Serena knew, but she couldn't find Serena when she turned around.

"Isn't it still there just now? Why did it disappear all of a sudden?" Georgiana also looked at the empty swing in doubt.

"Serina must be afraid that we would ask her why she was in a daze. No wonder she told us the gossip about Mr. Bingley so straightforwardly." Lilia, who understood Serena's intentions, gritted her teeth.

"It diverted our attention, and it succeeded. Serena is so cunning." Georgiana, who also understood, frowned and sighed.

"I can't run away, and I will not let Serina go if I catch her later." Lilia felt that the monk could not escape the temple if he could run away.

"That's right, let's ask her together." Georgiana nodded vigorously.

What is our crafty Serena doing?She took a few books she was interested in, and decided not to leave the room today. If someone came to visit tomorrow, her friends might forget to pay attention to her.

At dinner, the maid brought Serena's words. She was eating in the room, reluctant to put down the book, and didn't want anyone to disturb her. Lilia and Georgiana, who were looking for Serena, were speechless, but they could only say She was really cunning.

Not long after breakfast the next day, Mr. and Mrs. Gardiner and Miss Elizabeth arrived at Pemberley. After Grandma Renault showed them around, she invited them to the living room where everyone was sitting. Both parties greeted them politely and sat down.

The Gardiners, who were quite different from the Bennets, were polite and well-informed people, thanked Mr. Darcy for granting their request to visit, and admired the beauty of Pemberley.Mr. Darcy also thanked them very politely for their compliments, and the atmosphere in the living room was very harmonious for a while.

"Miss Elizabeth, how is your family? I heard that your younger sister is married. Congratulations." Mr. Jin asked the silent Miss Elizabeth.

"Everyone is doing well. Mary's marriage has made the family busy for a while, but everyone is very happy. How is Mr. Jin?" Elizabeth has already learned about her sister's visit to the Jin family from her sister, and she thinks the Jin family is still a good family. .

"I'm also in good health. Miss Bennet came to visit when she was in London. I wonder if she has returned to Longbourn." When Mr. Jin mentioned Miss Bennet, Serena felt everyone's attention All concentrated, especially the eyes of Mr. Bingley and Miss Elizabeth.

"She has already returned to Longbourn. I wonder if Mr. Bingley will return to Longbourn? Everyone misses you very much." Miss Elizabeth asked Mr. Bingley with a smile, her eyes were very serious and focused.

"Yes, we rented Netherfield Gardens, so we will go back." Miss Bingley replied instead of Mr. Bingley who was hesitant.

"Is that so, Mr. Bingley?" Miss Elizabeth asked Mr. Bingley directly without looking at Caroline.

"Yes, Netherfield is very beautiful. Caroline and I will go back." Mr. Bingley looked at his calm younger sister and Miss Elizabeth who was staring at him with some sparkle.

"Miss Elizabeth doesn't believe what I said..." Caroline waved her fan, said arrogantly and nonchalantly, her hatred skill was full.

"Miss Bingley said that you left Longbourne for London to attend the London social season. Did Mr. Bingley and Miss Bingley have a good time?" Obviously, he already knew from his sister that Mr. Bingley did not participate in the social season. Miss Bingley was the only one who participated in the second season. Miss Bingley could imagine that it would not be very pleasant, but Miss Elizabeth still smiled and stared at Caroline with some aggressive eyes.

"It's very pleasant, but my brother is busy. You know, although the Bingley family's property is not as good as that of the Darcy family, it is also very busy. My brother can't participate, so I have to participate in social activities alone. There must always be someone in the Bingley family." You only need to attend the social season, otherwise everyone will forget about the Bingleys." Caroline glanced at Miss Elizabeth twice, waved her fan, and answered slowly, implying that you know what.

"In this case, it is a pity that Mr. Bingley is not free to attend." Miss Elizabeth sighed completely insincerely.

"What a pity. We still got to know Mr. and Ms. Black, and we got along very happily. Isn't the fun of socializing just to meet new friends?" Much more arrogant.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit tense due to the tit-for-tat confrontation between the two ladies, Mr. Darcy and Georgiana, as the hosts, could not sit on the sidelines like Mr. King's grandson and Mr. Black's brother and sister, but Georgiana didn't know what to say, only Mr. Darcy "I wonder if Mr. Gardiner likes fishing?"

"How could you not like it? It's an interesting activity." Mr. Gardiner answered with a smile.

"Would Mr. Gardiner, Mrs. and Miss Elizabeth stay for lunch and then go fishing together?" Mr. Darcy found that it was almost noon and it was not suitable to go fishing now, so he proposed an invitation to have dinner and go fishing.

For Mr. Darcy's invitation, the Gardiners looked at Miss Elizabeth, and all three of them hesitated.The corners of the mouths of the others twitched, not understanding Mr. Darcy's intentions. Even Mr. Bingley couldn't believe how his always wise friend would invite Miss Elizabeth, who was obviously at odds with Caroline, to stay.

"Thank you for Mr. Darcy's invitation. We will stay in Pemberley for a meal. I really trouble Mr. Darcy." Finally, Mr. Gardiner agreed to Mr. Darcy's invitation.

"No trouble, let's go to the dining room first. Lunch should be ready." Mr. Darcy completely ignored the crowd in the kitchen who knew that there were suddenly three more people dining in a hurry, and led everyone to the dining room.

After a lunch with a dark tide, everyone went out for a walk, the gentlemen were ready to fish, and the ladies walked and chatted under the shade of the trees.

Mrs. Gardiner and Miss Elizabeth were holding hands and whispering, while Caroline and Serena were together. There was no chance for Miss Elizabeth and Caroline to collide, and they finally got along peacefully this afternoon.
