Transmigrating into various wonderful roles

Chapter 7 Pride and Prejudice 4

The familiar environment of the study did not increase Cao Xiaoying's inner sense of security. On the contrary, because of the narrowness of the space and the two of them being alone, there was a subtle sense of oppression, which made Cao Xiaoying feel a little depressed for a while.

"My dear lady, stop admiring your fingers, I think they are beautiful enough, as beautiful as when they were young, so may we talk now?" Mr. Bennet always said, sarcastically Basically, it has become his instinct, maybe it is to fight against his wife who is always suffering from neurasthenia. Cao Xiaoying thinks that is probably the case. In fact, it is hard for him to endure such a wonderful Mrs. Bennet and her crazy little daughters. him.

"Oh, sir, you startled me, well, now let's talk about the heir, I've already given birth to five daughters, I'm desperate, and I don't plan to have another one, I guess I won't be able to, I think instead of letting my distant cousin drive me and my daughters out in the future, why don't we adopt a boy, what do you think?" Cao Xiaoying tried to make her own suggestion, she really hoped things would go well, she sincerely prayed in her heart with.

"Adopt a boy, my good wife, why do you have such an idea, what stimulated you today, why are you always so whimsical." Mr. Bennet obviously didn't think it was a good idea, and he lacked interest replied.Of course, he didn't expect any constructive suggestions from his nervous wife.

"Why not? Master, haven't you already fallen out with the father of our heir, Collins? The two families have long since ceased contact. Isn't it closer to adopting a son than Collins, who has a bad relationship? Doesn't the law recognize it? , I don’t understand.” Cao Xiaoying knew that it might not be so easy, but she was hit by reality, and she still couldn’t help expressing her thoughts, struggling to die.

"Ma'am, should I praise your often fragile nerves, or that not-so-beautiful flash of inspiration, this is not a matter of law, it is a stipulation when I inherited the family property, we signed the agreement, when we were young , I didn’t expect that I would have five lively and beautiful daughters, of course, this is all due to my good wife.” Mr. Bennet explained impatiently, obviously this conversation is meaningless and has already taken up It was time for him to read at night, and he was extremely unhappy now. He thought he was wrong and shouldn't continue this conversation.

"Well, I don't know about this, but, master, I can pretend to be pregnant, stay at home without going anywhere, and then you prepare the baby, so that no one can catch us." Cao Xiaoying I had the idea of ​​a fake pregnancy. In ancient times, civet cats were used to exchange princes. Now it’s not difficult to pretend to be pregnant. Just be careful. After all, no one will come to verify. Cao Xiaoying began to feel complacent, thinking that this The idea is very feasible.

"My dear wife, how did you have such a dangerous idea? I don't have any babies. If you have such an idea, I advise you to get rid of it as soon as possible. Instead of giving it to a wild child on the roadside, you might as well give it to me. Unreliable cousin, at least he has the blood of the Bennet family, God knows what that wild child will do to my lovely little Lizzy." Mr. Bennet patted the table angrily, without hesitation He refuted Cao Xiaoying's suggestion. In his opinion, blood is always the last guarantee.

"Well, sir, although I don't think you are right, but I respect your opinion, it's getting late, I think I need to rest, today is really a magnificent day, I hope you have a good night. "Speaking without waiting for Mr. Bennet's reply, Cao Xiaoying stormed out of the room. Cao Xiaoying didn't know what to say now, this damned lineage theory, this damned family rule, and that damned cousin Collins .Of course, Cao Xiaoying doesn't expect everyone to surround her, and her opinions can be recognized, but at least she should give a reason for her to accept, well, Mr. Bennet has already given his own answer , this damn patriarchy.

Cao Xiaoying fell asleep on the bed with a feeling of resentment. Now she seems to have chosen to forget that she is a married woman and needs to lie on the same bed with Mr. Bennet. Visited her sometime, and now all she wanted was to sleep until dawn.Cao Xiaoying didn't care about when Mr. Bennet went to bed. When she woke up, it was obvious that Mr. Bennet didn't want to see her and had already gone out.

"Mom, you're up. I'm going to call you. Mrs. Hill has already prepared breakfast. Dad has already gone out. I'm waiting for you now." Jane gently pursed her lips and smiled and stood up, taking the With a shawl, Cao Xiaoying led her to the table where the food was placed, and carefully poured her a glass of juice.

"Okay, Jane, thank you, I'm sorry, I don't want to talk now, let's enjoy this breakfast in peace!" Cao Xiaoying is not very energetic now, and probably hasn't recovered from last night's conversation.Forget it, go to sleep later, cheer up Cao Xiaoying, although the plan failed, life is still moving forward, Cao Xiaoying made an agreement with herself like this.

Jane caringly didn't bother Cao Xiaoying anymore, and restrained her younger sisters from playing around. Even Mary gave up her favorite piano playing.Cao Xiaoying ate breakfast with a lack of interest. The delicious food yesterday was tasteless now. After eating hastily, she went back to the room and had a good sleep. After waking up, she felt refreshed. This is Cao Xiaoying If there is anything unhappy, as long as she can get a good night's sleep, it will no longer be a problem for her.

Within a few days, Mr. Bingley, the new neighbor of the Bennet family, paid a return visit and lingered in Mr. Bennet's study for about ten minutes.He admired the young beauty of the young ladies of the Bennet family for a long time, and hoped to see them, but unfortunately, he could only face their father's old face that was no longer handsome.But the ladies were far luckier than him. They used the upstairs windows and hid behind the curtains to see clearly that he was wearing a blue coat and riding a black horse.

Cao Xiaoying was worried that Mr. Bingley would need to go to the city, so it was obviously not advisable to write to invite him now, and it would be more appropriate to invite him after the dance was over.Mrs. Lucas next door thought she knew her very well, so she came to comfort her and told her that Mr. Bingley might go to London and invited a large group of guests to the ball, for which Cao Xiaoying could only express her gratitude.The turbulent rumors outside have no effect on Cao Xiaoying, and only the youngest Lydia spends her days idly picking up dance skirts and caring about these gossips.

Later, when Mr. Bingley led the group of distinguished guests into the dance hall, everyone in Hertfordshire was disappointed to find that there were only five people in total.Including Mr. Bingley, his two sisters and brother-in-law, and another young man. Cao Xiaoying guessed that he must be the arrogant Mr. Darcy.

Now everyone has finally met Mr. Bingley himself. It is no longer just hearsay. He is a gentlemanly young British man. , and this is even more commendable compared to his income.

Mr. Bingley's brother-in-law, Mr. Hurst, is just an ordinary gentleman, and does not attract much attention from everyone. Besides, he is married, but Mr. Bingley's friend, Darcy, immediately attracts the attention of the audience. Also including Cao Xiaoying.This Mr. Darcy has good features, delicate features, burly figure and noble demeanor. In less than 5 minutes since he entered the arena, he has already sworn that he has an annual income of [-] pounds.In Mrs. Bennet's eyes, she didn't pay much attention to his sisters. They were generally beautiful women with a decent attitude.

Now, now that the dance has officially started, will the story continue?Cao Xiaoying was still not sure.
