Jane Ying of Pride and Prejudice

Chapter 32 February 1811, 11

Early the next morning, Cousin Collins set off to leave. He had already bid farewell yesterday, and the good news between him and Miss Lucas was conveyed to the Bennet family at the request of Miss Lucas.

So Charlotte called as soon as breakfast was over, and related privately to Elizabeth the events of the previous day.

Elizabeth was naturally shocked and refused to believe it.She got such a good relationship with Mr. Bingley, why did her best friend go into such a loveless marriage immediately after?

But Charlotte replied: "I understand your thoughts. You must be surprised, and very surprised, because not long ago, Mr. Collins was still thinking of marrying Jane. But as long as you have time to talk about this matter in detail If you think about it, you'll agree with me. You know I'm not a romantic, I'm by no means. I'm not like you, I just want a comfortable home. On the character of Mr. Collins , social relations and status, I feel that if I marry him, I will be able to obtain happiness, which is not inferior to the kind of happiness that most people boast about when they get married."

Elizabeth was speechless, and silently retreated in Charlotte's words, and finally had to awkwardly wish them a happy marriage and boundless happiness in the future.

Before leaving, Charlotte went to find Jian Ying and personally told her the news. Although her friendship with Jane was not comparable to that of Elizabeth, after Jane's warm afternoon tea reception, she felt that maybe Jane was I can understand myself.

Looking at Charlotte, who had a bright complexion and a gentle and calm expression, Jianying sighed: "I can understand your choice, although I don't agree with it, but..."

"I wish you happiness!" Jian Ying sincerely wished her well.

People in the Bennet family are still talking about Mr. Collins who has left. Neither Elizabeth nor Jane Ying told everyone in advance about the happy event between Mr. Collins and Charlotte. They all chose to wait for the parties to announce the news themselves. Avoided the typhoon.

Although Mrs. Bennet did not have much obsession with marrying Jane Ying to Mr. Collins, when the other person she had hoped for left here and went to London instead, she brought up this regret as often as possible. more up.

It was on this day, when she was talking to her daughters of her regret at Mr. Collins' leaving Longbourne so early, that Sir William Lucas came.

Entrusted by his daughter, he came to the Bennet House to announce her engagement.

The news naturally exploded in Bennet's house like a bomb. As insiders, Jianying and Elizabeth had to do the work of firefighters, but Jianying's warm words of comfort did not comfort Bennet at all. The madam is in a rage mood.

Mrs. Bennet's anger could not be dissipated at the thought of her position as matron of Longbourne being cede to Charlotte Lucas.

She couldn't help getting angry at Jianying again, and she became more and more brooding about her previous regrets. She kept nagging in Jianying's ear, and she was always upset when talking to Sir William or Mrs. Lucas, but The Lucas family was so proud of having such a satisfactory marriage that they did not mind Mrs. Bennet's sarcastic remarks.

Naturally, Elizabeth, who is already engaged, is now the number one favorite in front of Mrs. Bennet, and Jian Ying is the most disobedient and bad daughter.

She was sure that the marriage between Charlotte and Collins would break up and the couple would never be happy, so she talked about the bullying and abuse that Jianying caused her to suffer all day long, although Jianying had always been obedient and good Her performance softened her a bit, but it didn't change the fact that she had talked about Jian Ying for a whole week.

Of course it took her a month to recover from her rough voice with Mr. and Mrs. Lucas, and as for Charlotte it took several months before she forgave her.

The Bennet family reacted differently to Charlotte’s happy event. Mr. Bennet actually felt happy. When Mr. Collins proposed to Jianying before, he was a little worried that his silly daughter would agree. He also didn't want such a son-in-law. Fortunately, she had become smarter recently and rejected his cousin, otherwise he wouldn't be so happy at the moment.

It was a joy to have William Lucas's daughter stupider than his!He decided to go fishing in the creek to celebrate.Of course, when Mrs. Bennet began to attack indiscriminately, Jianying knew that his celebration was just an excuse to avoid his wife. They are indeed husband and wife who have lived for decades, Mr. Bennet Knows Mrs. Bennet really well.

Mary's mood was a little strange. Jianying didn't notice her for a while, but after dinner she noticed a little bit. Mary locked herself in the room alone. She would come to Jianying to read a book these few nights, or to go with her. Researching cosmetics, but Mary didn't come this time, so Jianying naturally took her heart.

She went to Mary's room and had a detailed talk with her. It turned out that Mary felt inferior again. She thought that Mr. Collins would rather choose Charlotte than consider her because he looked down on her.

Jian Ying naturally enlightened her in detail, she thought that Mary had a good impression of Mr. Collins, because Mary appreciated Mr. Collins' firmness of thought very much.However, it is obvious that Mary just has the same idea as Charlotte. She thinks that Mr. Collins is a more suitable person. If she can be with him and have someone like her as an example, Mr. Collins will be a satisfactory person no matter how hard he studies and progresses. Wishful partner.

After all, Mary is only 19 years old, and Mr. Collins naturally would not consider several younger sisters, and the reason why Mr. Collins chose Charlotte is also the result of Charlotte's hard work.

Because of this, Mary felt that she was very bad, not as good as Charlotte, who everyone thought would never marry again. Maybe she would become an old girl in the future, unable to marry, and felt very inferior and sad for a while.

But Jian Ying didn't comfort her a few words, and she immediately felt relieved, and said, "I'm just talking, but it's really nothing. It's good that Charlotte can get what she wants."

Because Jian Ying only said: "You know, Elizabeth is engaged to Mr. Bingley now, you are only 19 years old, and Mr. Bingley is here, as long as Mr. Bingley holds more dances and invites more good friends, you will return to me in the future." Are you worried that you won't meet a good young man of your age?"

After persuading Mary, Jianying felt powerless for a while, which was something she hadn't expected at all, or she had expected it but didn't expect it to be so cruel.

This world is really harsh on women.Apart from marriage, they don't have many chances to change their destiny. Jian Ying, who has always been thinking about retirement, can only smile wryly. It really isn't that simple!

……

Perhaps because of the happy relationship she has obtained, although Elizabeth still can't understand Charlotte's choice, as her best friend, Elizabeth later found Charlotte again and gave her blessings from the bottom of her heart.

Facing Mrs. Bennet's anger, Jianying always had a gentle expression and seemed to listen to her, but she traveled thousands of miles away. Fortunately, Mrs. Bennet was also used to talking to herself, so after she got over her mouth addiction, Jianying is her eldest daughter who is almost 23 years old and has not been married yet, which she is worried about. She can't help but mention Elizabeth, who is struggling. Since then, Jianying has learned to avoid typhoons.Especially when Mrs. Lucas liked to come to the house more and more, her skill became more and more perfect.

Elizabeth had written to Mr. Bingley on the first day of his absence, and had been expecting a reply from him with all her eyes.

Of course, she would not suspect that her sweetheart would get lost in London's fancy world, but worried about whether her letter would reach him smoothly, and whether his reply letter would be lost on the way, she had one way or another every day. sweet worry.

Naturally, Mrs. Bennet will never forget that she always praises this young man who is the most proud in her eyes at present. He has such vision that he proposed to Elizabeth of their family.

As a result, Elizabeth heard her mother mention her sweetheart's name almost every hour, which made her tormented in missing her even more.

Mr. Bingley's reply arrived very quickly. Although he had to stay in London for a few more days because he had other matters to deal with, he replied to Elizabeth very frequently as he promised, which greatly comforted Elizabeth because her fiancé was proposing marriage. The unease of leaving on the day of success.

Jian Ying is also waiting for news, she knows that even if she rejects Darcy's marriage proposal, he will definitely help him with the things she entrusts to him, not only because of his affirmation of his character, but also because this person is also related to both of them.

Refusing Darcy's marriage proposal, although it was sincere, but Jianying's heart was still quite painful. If she hadn't been tempted by Darcy, then everything would be easy to say, and she could scold him for his self-righteousness and arrogance. She exhaled, but who made her fall in love with Darcy?

In addition to those inherent shortcomings and the arrogance and extraordinary aristocratic habits due to the influence of the education and social environment, this person's character has so many shining points, precisely because of those shining points, such as integrity, Decisive, considerate and other advantages, she will fall in love with him unconsciously.

So much so that even if he rejected him, she still believed in his character, and couldn't bear to brutally obscure his glorious image in her heart!

Sometimes seeing Elizabeth writing a letter to Mr. Bingley with pink bubbles all over her body, Jane would feel that she had been hit by 100 points when she was broken in love. She was even a little relieved that Mr. Bingley had gone to London, otherwise the two If they stick together, she is afraid that she will be hit by [-] million critical points.
