Jane Ying of Pride and Prejudice
Chapter 10 February 1811, 11
Although Lydia and Kitty had reduced the number of visits to Meryton for some time before because of their fair skin, they have recovered from solid state recently, which is also related to their aunt who lives in Meryton.
Their uncle, Mr. Philip, had been clerk to Mrs. Bennet's father, old Mr. Gardiner, who had been a solicitor in Meryton; Meryton was a lawyer.
Mrs. Bennet has a younger sister and a younger brother. The younger sister is now Mrs. Philip. The younger brother is now doing business in London, and the business is doing very well!
The reason why the Bennet sisters have a dowry of a thousand pounds is inherited from their mother!Because Mrs. Bennet once inherited [-] pounds of property from her father, and now the annual interest is added up, which is enough to make [-] pounds for each of the five daughters as a dowry.
The reason why Mrs. Bennet is so anxious to marry her daughter is because although Mr. Bennet has an estate with an annual income of [-] pounds, since he has no son, the estate must be inherited by a distant relative. It is really a very unfortunate thing for the family!
But the two young ladies don't care about these things. The family matters are taken care of by their parents and sisters, so they just have to play.In their minds, the shop in Meryton that sold women's hats was more attractive to them than who would inherit the family property.
No, a regiment of militiamen arrived nearby recently, and Meryton is where the headquarters is located. Mrs. Philip is naturally very well-informed. This is really great for two ladies who are keen on gossip and have red uniforms. the gospel.
Sure enough, they quickly learned the names of several officers and their social relations, and quickly became acquainted with them.Mr. Philip also called on the officers one by one, and his nieces and aunts were wild with joy.
Lydia and Kitty were almost talking about the officers now, and they even liked the officers more than the rich Mr. Bingley, whose property was worth nothing compared to the beautiful uniform.
Innocent little girls, although Jian Ying likes to see them happy, but she still disagrees with their values.
If those red uniforms are like the respectable soldiers of her era, then there is no need to worry too much. Although Lydia loves to play and play, she still has a sense of responsibility for marriage. Although making her a military wife may suppress her love Playful nature, but maybe a good marriage, but these militiamen?
Jianying couldn't help scratching her head, listening to Lydia talking about how much she admired Captain Carter, how she hoped to see him that day, because he was going to London tomorrow morning, Jianying didn't know what to say.
She looked at Kitty who seemed to be the shadow of Lydia. To be honest, in this family, everyone has distinct personalities, but Kitty and Lydia are like twins. Jianying can't even figure out Kitty's identity. Is her true nature what she appears to be?
Kitty's body is not as healthy as Lydia's, and she is used to being ignored by her parents, so even though she is the older sister, she always follows Lydia, and the two of them are always inseparable from Meng.
After watching for so many days, Jianying has seen a clue. Kitty, this younger sister, is not as heartless as she appears. Compared with Lydia, she is really limited in how much she is spoiled. It was because her family ignored her. This girl was a bit rebellious. She envied Lydia's vigor and recklessness, so she followed Lydia and was willing to be her little tail.
No one had taught her what was good, what should be done, what might be done, she judged only by herself and Lydia's behavior, which was now welcome.Elizabeth used to have a few dances without a partner in the ballroom, but she and Lydia almost always filled the hall.
This is enough to show that it is right to follow Lydia. Kitty has grown into what she is now, but just like the reason why she followed Lydia, she just lacks a little knowledge and self, and she is still young. , if she can get in touch with more decent and outstanding people, she will gradually change.
Mr. Bennet always said that they were stupid, but their stupidity was only because their vision was too narrow. If they had the opportunity to see big scenes, they would not be satisfied with the so-called officers and balls they saw now.
Mr. Bennet and Mrs. Bennet had a discussion on whether their daughters were stupid. Mr. Bennet insisted that they were all stupid, regardless of what their daughters thought, except for Lizzy. Mrs. Bennet was completely stupid. No, she thinks her daughters are very smart, but they are just chasing the red uniform, she also chased it when she was young!
The daughters naturally did not interrupt their elegant mood, and the two youngest daughters, whom Mr. Bennet firmly believed to be stupid, also acted indifferently, especially Lydia.
But when she heard Mrs. Bennet talking about chasing red uniforms when she was young, she couldn't help it immediately, and she talked about the familiar Colonel Forster, Captain Cuttle and Miss Qin .
Mrs. Bennet's fondness for red uniforms has now spread to her daughters. She said: "If there is a handsome young colonel with an income of five or six thousand pounds a year, he will propose to any of my daughters. I will never refuse him."
It sounds like Mrs. Bennet loves both the red uniform and their property. Compared with Lydia and the others, who don't care whether the officers have property, their requirements are much higher!She is such a good mother who loves her daughter!As far as her knowledge is concerned, such a request is already considered a reality.
Just as Mrs. Bennet was about to answer Lydia, a servant brought a letter to Jianying.It was sent from Netherfield Gardens, and the servant who delivered the letter was still waiting for a reply, so Jianying did not delay, listening to Mrs. Bennet’s happy urging, she read out the letter, which reads as follows:
"My dear friends, Jane and Elizabeth . . . if you will not be merciful and come and dine with Louisa and me to-day, we shall be grudges for life. Talking together, there is no one who does not quarrel in the end. After receiving the letter, I wish to come as soon as possible. My brother and several of his friends are going to have dinner with the officers.
——————————your forever friend Caroline Bentley”
"Dinning with the officers?" The family expressed their indignation at this remark, especially Mrs. Bennet, who, like the others, did not know that Elizabeth had only seen Mr. Bingley in the morning. Their tacit way of walking has never been known to anyone except a few parties involved, so Mrs. Bennet always thought that the two young people only got along with each other at balls and when they met by chance. A few times, she felt they didn't have much time to develop a relationship, so much so that she figured out a way.
"My dears, ride to Netherfield, don't delay, it looks like it's going to rain, and if it rains you can stay there for the night!"
"That's a good idea," said Elizabeth. "They won't send us back if you're sure."
Jianying also finds it incredible. You must know that she has only fought against Fenghan once, and the original Miss Bennet even fell into this. How could her mother propose such a method?
"Mom, this is not appropriate, what if we catch the wind and cold again?"
Mr. Bennet seemed to remember Jane's pitiful appearance when she was suffering from the cold, and with the authority of the head of the family, he forcefully vacated a carriage for them.
Mrs. Bennet reluctantly sent them to the door, and when it rained heavily shortly after they set off, she was even more disappointed and said, "What's the use of rain now?"
The heavy rain didn't stop at dusk, and Mrs. Bennet was happy about the rain again: "It's raining so hard, even if they take a carriage, they can't call them back. It's too rude!"
It seems that this rain is the same as she made the old world to this day.
Here, Jane and Elizabeth, who were traveling in a carriage, finally arrived at Netherfield Gardens after a lot of twists and turns. The Bingley sisters warmly received them.
"I originally thought that you wouldn't come due to such a heavy rain, but I never expected to make me wait for you."
Caroline looked very enthusiastic, but Jianying and the others felt a little awkward.
"It hadn't rained when we went out, and we didn't know that it would rain like this on the way."
They drank afternoon tea together, played cards, and chatted together. At night, when the rain was still falling, Caroline held back her regrets and let the two sisters stay.
"Netherfield is huge, just stay and make sure you feel at home!"
The servant tidied up two adjacent rooms, these two rooms are thousands of miles away from the gentlemen’s residence, but fortunately they are clean and tidy without losing warmth, Jianying and Elizabeth stayed here with great kindness, and decided to stay in the second In the morning, I had breakfast and left.
