Jane Ying of Pride and Prejudice

Chapter 16 February 1811, 11

The next day, the ladies of the Bennet family went to their aunt's house again, and Mr. Collins accompanied him as a matter of course.

Wickham was already there when they arrived, but they did not see him immediately.

After everyone sat down, Mr. Collins maintained his usual style, looked around leisurely, and then complimented the living room, in which he inevitably mentioned his benefactor Lady Catherine and his own humble house, Philip The wife was overjoyed by his compliment until the gentlemen came in.

Mrs. Philip was really happy to be complimented by Mr. Collins. She was determined not to let Mr. Collins' painstaking efforts go to waste. Naturally, she wanted to be a good topic spreader, and was ready to talk about everything Mr. Collins said.

Jian Ying was quite curious about the £[-] mantelpiece he described in a drawing room in Rosings, to be honest.Some of the manors of this era are really spectacular and beautiful.

But she has seen very few, because of physical reasons, and of course social status, alas, thinking about it, she is still quite a bitch!Jian Ying laughed.

She could still concentrate on listening to Cousin Collins, but after he boasted about his poor house, Jianying couldn't help but look down. She can't be blamed for ruining this good face like this, Cousin Collins Praising his family so brightly, and looking at her brightly, is it obvious that he is talking to her, okay?

Please, cousin, I listen to you more flatteringly, but it's really not what you think it means, don't be so complacent, okay?

Jianying knelt down to Cousin Collins's bright personality when given some sunshine, she hurriedly imitated the other sisters, and casually drew some small things to pass the time, just like the porcelain on the mantelpiece.

The ladies were bored waiting on the sidelines, so as soon as Wickham walked in, he easily won the favor of most of the ladies.

Wickham's outstanding appearance and demeanor made him easily the most proud man of the day. Almost all the ladies circled around him, even the most outstanding beauty of Longbourne, Miss Jane Bennet, was always gentle. watching him.

Satisfied, he sat beside Jian Ying, and immediately started talking to her.

To be honest, Jian Ying felt that the reason why Wickham could show such a charming demeanor had something to do with the reference object beside him. Wickham was very beautiful, but their uncle with big ears, big ears, and potbellied Greatly added points to Wickham.

They obviously drank outside, so even Wickham smelled of wine all over his body. Jianying really didn't like the smell of tobacco and alcohol on men. This was related to her body in her previous life. When she smelled the smell of smoke and alcohol Just want to cough and vomit, which puts pressure on the heart.

Even if she didn't have a heart attack in her life, she still didn't like the smell, but she still held back her dislike and patiently talked with Wickham about the weather.

Probably because she still had some preconceived ideas about this gentleman. Even though she was not sure about Wickham's character at the beginning, Jianying didn't like him very much, but after talking with Wickham for a while, Jianying had to admit that , this guy is such a likable person.

Although it was just talking about the rain that night and the possibility of the rainy season, Wickham could also speak very nicely. When it comes to flattery, Cousin Collins should really learn from Wickham.Otherwise, he could only be like this now, only Mrs. Philip would occasionally listen to him talk about the Almighty Lord, and greet him carefully.

The ladies liked Mr. Wickham very much. They didn't like him talking to Jian Ying all the time, so they invited him to another table to play cards. Jian Ying hadn't achieved her goal, so she naturally sat with them.

Lydia quickly sat on the other side of Wickham, and was very chatty and dominated Wickham, but she also liked to win prizes and couldn't do two things at once, so Wickham found an opportunity to calmly talk to Jane. English speaking.

Jianying naturally listened to him very gently, which greatly satisfied Wickham's self-esteem and made him behave more vigorously in front of Jianying. He even couldn't wait to talk about Darcy with Jianying.

"Mr. Darcy? I know he is a very rich man in Derbyshire."

"Yes," Wickham replied. "His property is considerable... a net income of ten thousand pounds a year. Speaking of this, no one knows for sure, because I have had a special relationship with his family since I was a child."

Jianying showed a surprised and questioning look at the right time.

Wickham was encouraged, so he spoke vigorously. His words showed dissatisfaction and slander against Darcy. Jianying smiled and frowned at the right time. As a gentle and kind lady, she would not believe others' bad things, but for herself People who have good feelings will definitely be affected.

"Mr. Darcy does seem a little arrogant. He seems to want to live here for a long time. I hope you can resolve the misunderstanding between each other, so as not to be wronged when you meet in the future."

Hearing that Jian Ying seemed to be Wickham on his side, he immediately wanted to expand this advantage, so that the lady's affection for Darcy would be minimized, and it would be best to publicize Darcy's badness and let him Discredited.

What he said was even more aggrieved: ["Miss Bennet, his dead father, that old Mr. Darcy, was the kindest person in the world and the most sincere friend in my life. Whenever I This Mr. Darcy is now together with a thousand tender memories and a deep pain. He has behaved very badly to me, but I truly believe that I can forgive everything. He just can't tolerate him living up to the high hopes of his ancestors and humiliating the reputation of his ancestors."]

Jianying asked further: "My God, what happened?"

Wickham then talked about how Darcy violated the last wish of his godfather, Mr. Darcy, and took away his priesthood for no reason, and how he felt jealous because of Mr. Darcy's kindness to him.

Although he said later that he did not want to embarrass Darcy, and would not expose him to oppose him.

In the end, Miss Darcy was pulled out again, saying that she was very, very arrogant. You must know that this is a poor girl who is only 15 years old, her parents have died and she has only one brother.

Jianying didn't want to hear him talk about this girl, and she didn't want to make use of it, so they talked about Mr. Darcy again.

Since Mr. Collins mentioned Mrs. Catherine de Bourgh, Wickham simply pointed out the relationship between Darcy and this lady. Madame is a sister.

It seems that he really dislikes the Darcy family, because he not only talks a lot about Darcy and Miss Darcy's arrogance and hypocrisy, but also disapproves of Mr. Collins' praise of his benefactor, and thinks that Lady Catherine She is an arrogant and arrogant woman.

It almost wiped out the whole family.

Jian Ying knew that he had exaggerated many things, and what he said was also mixed with truth and falsehood, but what he said was really sincere, which sounded very credible.

This has to make people sweat, if it is not for knowing Darcy's character, if he has known Darcy for nearly a month and confirmed his character, Jianying may be suspicious at this moment, and then combine For Darcy's arrogant performance, he must be kept at a respectful distance.

But who let it be Mr. Wickham who said that?Jianying really felt sorry for him, with such an appearance and demeanor, such superb acting skills, and a moving performance, he might become a popular superstar in later generations, won an Oscar or something, wouldn't it be a matter of minutes?

Although she heard all the bad things Wickham said, Jianying strangely didn't hate him that much.This face-seeking world is really intoxicating.

But her idea of ​​cutting the mess with a sharp knife did not change at all, so the cards were played in the end, and Jianying also listened to Wickham's bad words about Darcy, and they were satisfied with each other!

Jian Ying laughed, acting as if she agreed with Wickham. Fortunately, the dinner finally arrived, and Wickham's attention was on the other ladies again, and he was willing to show courteousness to every lady.

On the way home, Lydia went on and on about the prizes she had won in their poker game, about when she had lost and when she had won, without even saying a word about Wickham.

Now Jianying knows that her so-called loves are all childish words. It seems that the time she eloped with Wickham in the original book is mostly due to her going to Baileytun with the militia. There are more than There is a battalion of officers and soldiers, there is a bathing place, and there is nothing else to distract attention. Naturally, those ignorant likings are magnified, and thus they do wrong things that they will not repent of.

Lydia's character, speaking of it, is just to solve Mr. Wickham, and it probably won't be of much use, but avoid the mistakes that can be avoided as much as possible!

After all, Lydia is still young, and she might be able to grow up if she grows longer.
