Jane Ying of Pride and Prejudice

Chapter 14 February 1811, 11

After a while, Mr. Darcy would occasionally join them for a walk these days. Of course, in order not to be a light bulb, Jianying had pulled Mary to join this morning walk that they had tacitly agreed with each other.

Mary is not a person who is keen on gossip. Jianying thinks that the girl's IQ concept can be saved when she is old, so she does not hesitate to be a good sister.

Mary's behavior is much more decent now, she is mainly not so confident, eager to use her knowledge to gain a sense of presence, but the result is self-defeating.

Since she became more and more beautiful and learned some knowledge about dressing from Jianying, some people praised her for being beautiful, and she naturally became more confident.

She has read so many books, but it is not for nothing. This in itself is her confidence, "there is a spirit of poetry and books in her belly", when she does not regard reading as a show off, but after showing her true love in her heart Well, her bookish look is enough to bluff people. The five golden flowers of the Bennet family are now really well-deserved in the whole of Longbourn.I don't know how many people, always with appreciative eyes, silently pursue the five seductive sisters.

……

There are many new things happening in Longborn these days, such as the militia stationed near Meryton, Colonel Forster, who Lydia likes very much, is about to get married, and Wickham, whom Jane Ying regards as a serious worry Sir, it should not be far away...

After breakfast that day, Mr. Bennet said to his wife: "My dear wife, I hope you have prepared a better lunch today, because I expect there will be guests today."

Jianying's heart skipped a beat. She vaguely remembered that before attending the ball at Netherfield Gardens, it seemed that there would indeed be a guest at home.

It is Mr. Collins, the cousin who will inherit Longbourn after their father dies. This gentleman is arrogant and humble in the original book, but eventually married Charlotte and successfully became Charlotte's locker. .

"Oh, my God!" Mrs. Bennet exclaimed immediately after hearing her husband's explanation.

"I can't bear to hear you mention this..."

Jianying and Elizabeth explained the limited inheritance, but they couldn't explain it to Mrs. Bennet, and Mr. Bennet added fuel to the fire again.

"If you listen to what he says in this letter, you will soften your heart, because he has shown that he is doing well." Then, in spite of Mrs. Bennet's rebuttal, he read the letter:

"Dear Elder:

There was some grievance between you and your late father before, which has always made me uneasy... But please rest assured, I am very willing to give them all possible compensations, and I will discuss this matter in detail later... I suggest that on November [-] On the [-]th, Monday, come to visit at four o'clock, or even bother at the house until next Saturday...

Your well-wishers and friends William Collins”

"It's coming at four o'clock!"

Jian Ying's heart was inexplicably full of bitterness.In the original book, Cousin Collins set his sights on Elizabeth because she already had Mr. Bingley, who looked like a wealthy son-in-law. Now that Elizabeth seems to be in charge, wouldn't he want to set his sights on himself?

Listening to the humble and arrogant tone in his letter, it can be seen that even if this person is lovable, he is definitely not within her mate selection criteria. If she is faced with his attentiveness and stickiness like the original one in the future, she may suffer. live?

Looking around, apart from herself, Elizabeth, and Mary may meet his requirements a little bit, but Jianying can't make her push the trouble to her pure and innocent sister.

She could only sigh, and expected to take a step forward.

Mr. Collins came on time, and the whole family received him very politely, but Mr. Bennet seemed a little silent, and Jane Ying also kept silent because of the guess in her heart, but Mrs. Bennet and the other ladies were very happy to meet with him. He had a good talk, but they obviously didn't have that chance.

Mr. Collins is tall, a 25-year-old young man with a slightly obese build. As soon as he sat down, he kept talking, starting from complimenting Mrs. Bennet to all the beautiful ladies.

His eyes obviously lingered on Jianying for a while, and he kept talking about the beauty of the ladies far beyond their reputation, and how he was lucky to be able to sit and talk with the ladies.

Immediately, he complimented Mrs. Bennet's favorite point. Seeing Mrs. Bennet's cheerful laughter, Jianying believed that he must have done his homework and knew where Mrs. Bennet's itches were.

He said that he believes that the ladies will have a happy marriage!

Just this one sentence earned enough of Mrs. Bennet's favorability. If he hadn't shown such obvious ambitions for the property of the Bennet House later, I'm afraid he would be even more lovable in Mrs. Bennet's heart. Go up a floor.

At lunchtime, Mrs. Bennet was again offended by a remark of his, for he asked, "Which cousin cooks that?"

Mrs. Bennet said, rather bluntly, that the family could still afford a decent cook.Then of course they were tortured for a quarter of an hour by Cousin Collins' apology.

After lunch, everyone had to listen to Mrs. Catherine, the benefactor of Cousin Collins, full of good words. Jianying knew that this lady was Mr. Darcy's aunt, and she looked down on her family very much. She only had one She has a single daughter, but she is in poor health. She hopes that her daughter can marry her cousin Darcy, so as to take care of her daughter and combine the two industries.

In fact, Cousin Collins is a little cute in some performances. When Jianying communicated with Mary, the girl pointed out sharply, "It's actually silly and cute."

Jianying laughed with a "poof", and she thought of the phrase "maliciously acting cute". I have to say that Cousin Collins was suspected of maliciously acting cute at some point, but he didn't know it himself.

If you put aside the possible option of a future husband and only treat him as a relative, he is actually not as unlikable as you imagined.

Although he is always boastful, when he gets along with others, he is always full of beauty, he praises others in a different way, and at the same time he does not forget to boast, but compared to a person who thinks of tricks and criticizes others, such a person is even worse. It's too cute!

You ignore his superficial arrogance and humility, as well as his lack of self-confidence in his bones.You will find that this person is actually very enthusiastic, and he is not stingy with helping others, and he has a special principle in doing things. For example, he is a pastor, and he requires himself to be in the parish every Sunday, so he comes to visit Longborn came every Monday and left on Saturday, never procrastinating, so as to miss a Sunday, even if his business was not finished.

From this point of view, Mr. Collins is actually quite responsible, and when he becomes a husband and father, he may not be the best, but he will never be the worst.

It's just that such a person can only be seen by certain people. Jianying can't do it anymore. She can see the advantages of Mr. Collins, just like she can see the advantages of many other people, but it doesn't mean that she has advantages Someone who is suitable to be her partner.

For people close to them, especially lovers, people like Jian Ying are usually very demanding, maybe because in their eyes, there are always many good people in the world, so people who can touch their hearts are naturally more. Better, otherwise, wouldn't you be tempted by different people all the time?

The more such a person is, the more they would rather lack someone who can enter their hearts. Only when they meet someone who is truly suitable can they make her feel that 'you are the part that I am missing, we can fit each other, and we can become one person'. When this person appears, they will be willing to enter into marriage, and the rest will be settled!

However, when Mr. Collins seemed to be targeting her, Jianying knew that they could not be lovely relatives, and she would not marry him anyway, but he seemed to have 'she must marry him' 'I don't know where his confidence comes from?

Jianying doesn't want to admit that part of his confidence comes from Mrs. Bennet!

In the eyes of Mr. Collins, on the one hand, as the eldest of the Bennet family, Jian Ying is the closest in age to him. On the other hand, he really covets Jian Ying's charming beauty. The candidate for his future wife—Jane, seems to have no one at present, and he immediately and happily decided to pursue Jianying.

After talking with him, Mrs. Bennet's particularly troubled face is really hard to describe.

On the one hand, she felt that the compensation plan proposed by Collins was no better, and she also thought that he was indeed a good son-in-law; Willingly.

In her heart, she actually felt that Jane should be matched with a better husband, but she was afraid that she would miss Mr. Collins, a potential stock, so that she would not be able to fulfill her wish to marry her daughter.

In particular, she really didn't want the mistress of the Bennet family at Longbourn to be replaced by another inexplicable woman in the future, and her original master would be driven out of the house.

He could only look at his nephew Collins happily pursuing his most outstanding daughter Jane, feeling like a cat's paws were scratching in his heart.
