Jane Ying of Pride and Prejudice

Darcy didn't expect that he would get such a response when he honestly said what was in his heart. He replied with a pale face: "However, I can't go against my conscience and say that I am really sorry for your family and your humble relatives. No ill will, I really like them, and their manners are often inappropriate, and they even make you lose face..."

Jian Ying looked back at him, "This is the difference between the two of us. Our family backgrounds are so different, how can we live in harmony?"

"Are you angry with me?" Darcy's voice was dry.

Jian Ying closed her eyes, and continued to say the rejection she had thought about.

"They are all my dear family members. Looking down on them is no different from looking down on me. They don't steal or rob, treat people sincerely, and do things sincerely. They are no worse than other decent gentlemen and nobles. At least in terms of personality, they are Equal. I can't accept that someone who looks down on my family from the bottom of my heart becomes my lifelong partner. Love may be a matter of two people, but marriage is not just a combination of two people who love each other. It is also two families. combination."

Jianying's voice became much more stable, and she stared at Darcy who was still half kneeling on the ground so as to keep her eye level.

"You make me feel like I'm being humiliated, you know that?"

After saying this, she tried to smile, but her eyes were wet again.

"No, I didn't mean that, I just admire you but..." Darcy explained eagerly, Jianying looked at the pale and crumbling gentleman in front of him, and stopped his incoherent explanation.

She smiled a bit, but still couldn't bear it, and couldn't help but confide in her heart.

"I guess I—have to admit," the smile bloomed extraordinarily beautifully on her glistening, tear-dropped cheeks, as she then admitted, "I'm not unimpressed with you."

Darcy's eyes lit up at that moment, but soon...they went out again.

"You are indeed a respectable gentleman, decent, sincere, considerate, and like-minded with me." The corners of her mouth slightly curled up with her praise.

"But, as you said, our family backgrounds don't match, and I'm just a squire's daughter." She tried to say another part of her reasons for rejecting him, so that her rejection seemed more justified.

"I guess it's hard for me to fit in with the rules of the real upper class in this world, you and I both know, it can't be just flowers and balls. I can't socialize, I'm not talented, just a normal country girl, I'm having a hard time keeping up with you footsteps. Even..."

She paused again, "I also believe that you must also have relatives who are as arrogant as you. They look at me just like you looked at me before. Your love for me can't overcome the arrogance in your heart. What about them? ?”

"And because of our different backgrounds, the social classes we come into contact with will inevitably lead to very different social classes. Naturally, our feelings will not be understood by most people. If we are reluctant to be together, we will only kill each other's love in gossip. Exhausted."

Darcy muttered to himself: "My love for you will never be so fragile, as long as you love me, none of this will..." It's a problem!

Jianying smiled, "Of course I believe that your love for me is sincere, but in this world, it is not kind, and love does not lead to union, and love does not lead to happiness."

Her tears seemed to have stopped, and her face regained her calmness, and her voice even carried indifference:

"Sorry, I rejected you just because I don't love you that much!"

"I once said that if I get married in the future, it must be because of love, because if you love each other deeply, there will be no betrayal of love. I reject you now, also because of love, because we don't love deeply enough..."

"Sir, get up, I don't deserve your sincere love, leave, you will find the other half that really belongs to you, and she won't be me anymore!"

Her last voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible, Darcy covered his eyes with his left hand, he turned his head, calmed down for a while, and then turned back.

When he stood up, his steps were a little staggered, he had knelt for too long, and his face was too pale.

He walked slowly to the door, but he still couldn't help turning around. He suppressed his grief and said softly:

"You're right, miss, there shouldn't be so much struggle and hesitation in love. I'm sorry I hurt your heart. Please rest. Allow me to sincerely wish you a speedy recovery and happiness!"

Then he left, and even thoughtfully closed the door, Jian Ying's face was cold, but she didn't make a sound.

She hid her face in her arms, curled up and bathed in the sun, the whole person was silent...

*************

After Bingley and Elizabeth went out for a walk in the small garden for a while, they returned with happy faces.

Mr. Bingley went directly to Mr. Bennet's study and asked him to marry his daughter to him.

And Elizabeth was waiting anxiously outside the door, and Mrs. Bennet asked loudly and anxiously whether the content of her conversation with Mr. Bingley was what they had guessed. They all gathered in the corridor outside Mr. Bennet's study.

Elizabeth just stared at Mr. Bennet's study door absent-mindedly. When asked about Mr. Bingley, she nodded happily, and then looked anxiously at the closed door of the study.

Just 5 minutes later, Bentley came out, his expression was extremely happy, and he happily called out the name he had called countless times in his heart: "Elizabeth!"

Elizabeth hugged him happily, and then went into Mr. Bennet's study. This time she stayed in for a quarter of an hour. When she came out, she had tears in her eyes, but she was also extremely happy.

At this time Elizabeth came to tell her mother face to face about her happiness, and Mrs. Bennet was very happy.

Mrs. Bennet cheered, "I'm so happy, this is a very suitable couple, they are so happy, aren't they?" She happily shared the joy with her daughter and guests.

It is extremely lively here, but the second floor is very quiet.

Darcy calmed down a little in the corridor. Fortunately, Mrs. Bennet and the others were still downstairs sharing the good news of Elizabeth's engagement, so he was able to return to his usual appearance, but the expression on his face became more rigid. In the eyes of Mrs. Bennet and the other ladies, it was even more arrogant.

But this was temporarily ignored by Mrs. Bennet. She said to Mr. Darcy with special enthusiasm: "Mr. Darcy, have you seen our poor Jane? How is she now, can she come down? We There is still a great news to tell her!"

"I don't think her injury is enough for her to come downstairs by herself. I'm sorry. My visit just now seems to have exhausted her. She may need to take a break now." Darcy said with a blank expression.Mrs. Bennet's enthusiasm was quenched a lot at once.

"Elizabeth is engaged. Jane doesn't know yet. She should share the good news with us. Poor Jane, the last illness still hurt her body, and she always gets tired so easily." She muttered, but also No more mention of asking Jane to come downstairs to celebrate together.

Although Elizabeth was a little worried when she heard the words, when she saw Mr. Collins sitting beside him talking to Charlotte, she immediately felt that she understood why Jane didn't want to come downstairs. She couldn't help but glanced at her friend gratefully, thanking her Friends greet Mr. Collins for their family members, otherwise everyone is afraid that everyone will be uncomfortable.

"I'm very sorry. I still have some things to deal with. I'm afraid I have to go first. I sincerely wish Miss Bennet a speedy recovery, and your wishes come true!" Darcy said suddenly, and Bingley was taken aback by his behavior. , he couldn't help but glanced at Elizabeth, and shouted: "Darcy, is there anything we can't wait for?"

Darcy glanced at him: "I'll go first, you can stay and celebrate with Miss Elizabeth." After speaking, he saluted Elizabeth and Mrs. Bennet again: "I'm very sorry!"

After striding away, Bingley watched him get on his horse and gallop away in a daze. He couldn't figure it out for a while, thinking that Darcy's behavior of saying goodbye when he came out of the room where Miss Bennet stayed, inexplicably felt that Darcy The reason for the haste was inseparable from Miss Bennet. He glanced up at the room where Miss Bennet was upstairs, and the light curtains that had been drawn seemed to be moved by the wind.

Bingley and Elizabeth looked at each other, and Elizabeth immediately turned and went upstairs.
