Jane Ying of Pride and Prejudice

As the neighbors and guests from Hansford left one after another, Longborn returned to calm.The ladies' routines also became regular, and Kitty and Lydia usually went to Philip's in Meryton every other day.As for Jianying, Mary and Elizabeth, they usually have to go there two or three times, and the three of them will go together once.

On this day, just as their sisters went to visit Aunt Philip's house in Meryton, they met the beautiful Mr. Wickham again.Kitty and Lydia surrounded him cheerfully, and even Elizabeth, under Wickham's humorous speech, temporarily forgot the reluctance of her fiancé to leave, and became happy again.

Lydia also made up her mind to have Mrs. Bennet invite Mr. Wickham to visit her on the morrow, which is his day off.

Of course she was satisfied, because Mrs. Bennet also liked this young man Wickham so much. He was not only a handsome young man, but he even had a red uniform and a sweet mouth.

Mr. Bennet joked that the daughters needed a taste of lovelornness to give their empty minds something to think about and a little gossip to gossip about, and Mr. Wickham would be the guy to dump them decently.

Of course, as Jian Ying, who was considered broken in love by her father, she can only shrug her shoulders helplessly.Mr. Bennet seemed to believe that she had developed a crush on Mr. Darcy, but was dumped.

Because Mr. Wickham spared no effort these days, always revealing what Mr. Darcy was sorry for him, and how much he suffered for it...

Everyone knew about his past and discussed it openly.What he said was so eloquent that most people believed it, including the Bennet family.

At this time, they began to rejoice that Mr. Darcy left early and did not deceive Jianying's sincerity.Only Mr. Bennet and Elizabeth don't think so, but they also feel that it is very pitiful that Jane Ying fell in love with a person of low character, so they very much hope that the beautiful Mr. Wickham can comfort her heart.

Naturally, Jianying was very happy being coaxed by Wickham, not thinking about the possible consequences of this person, he is indeed very likable.He always looks so polite, proper and meticulous when speaking and doing things.

She originally wanted to wait for this person to disappear from people's sight naturally, without doing any unnecessary things, but as Mr. Wickham became more and more popular, almost no one stopped saying good things about him. I don't want to let things go any further!Lest Mr. Wickham's true colors should be uncovered in time, and some members of the family would be outraged!

In the evening, Jianying and Mary were reading books in the room, and Elizabeth came over to chat with them.The topic naturally came up, Mr. Wickham they met during the day, and the question of whether he and Mr. Darcy are good or bad!

Elizabeth is clearly torn, since Darcy is a friend of Bingley's, and Bingley clearly thinks Darcy highly.If Darcy is really as bad as Wickham said, full of high-society vices, does Bentley know?Obviously, she believed her fiancé, then Bingley must have been deceived, how sad he would be if he knew Darcy's true face!

"Lizzy, why do you think Mr. Wickham's words are credible? Obviously Mr. Darcy is Mr. Bingley's friend, and he has been with us for a longer time, isn't he?" Jian Ying asked curiously. I don't like Darcy!

"It's true that he's arrogant, isn't it?" Elizabeth said, "and I thought he had a crush on you, and he showed it, didn't he? But he left Harford anyway, and you didn't see him leave Harford." That stiff face, as if there is something he doesn't want to see here. He is like Miss Bingley and the others, he looks down on our family! You are right, he is too powerful and rich!"

Elizabeth's tone was full of anger, and some felt aggrieved for Jianying.

Jian Ying was speechless. Darcy's performance these days was indeed not an amiable gentleman. Although Elizabeth misunderstood many things, some things were simply not clear.

"What Lizzy said is not entirely true. Mr. Darcy is sometimes very arrogant, but he is very gentle and considerate to Jane. But Mr. Wickham is indeed very nice. He is personable and gentlemanly." Mary also said on the side , which surprised Jianying very much. Mary usually doesn't pay attention to which gentleman has a good manners. She always thought that this younger sister hadn't enlightened yet.

It seems that Wickham did not let go of the beautiful Mary!What is his intention of displaying his charms all over the world now?People in the neighborhood are probably starting to speak well of him now, and Darcy's already arrogant and unkind image may cast a shadow of immorality again.

Letting Wickham continue to lie to her family like this, Jianying felt a little bad. She decided to tell Wickham's true colors. Since Elizabeth mentioned this person, she might as well have some snacks to help restrain the family. two little sisters.

"There is one thing I think I must say to you, Lizzy. What is your impression of Mr. Wickham, what kind of man do you think he is?"

"He is just as Mary said, a gentleman with excellent appearance and demeanor. Although he is not as good as Mr. Bingley, I don't think any woman will easily criticize him." Elizabeth said.

Jian Ying smiled, but said neatly: "His etiquette and appearance are indeed impeccable, but his heart is extremely suspicious."

"The day I was visiting at Aunt Philip's we talked a lot because he was sitting next to me and he was talking about Mr Darcy. He said Mr Darcy did a terrible thing to him and disrespected his The godfather, that is, the will of the old Mr. Darcy, gave the priesthood that should belong to him to others, because Mr. Darcy is jealous that the old Mr. Darcy treats him better than his own son!"

"That's it. Mr. Wickham seems to have mentioned a few words today, but he didn't say anything specific because of his manner!" Elizabeth whispered.

"But later I checked with Mr. Darcy, and what Mr. Darcy said was completely different from what Mr. Wickham said." Jian Ying said, she looked at Elizabeth's completely disapproving expression, and continued:

"You must know that Mr. Wickham is the godson of old Mr. Darcy, right? His father has managed the property in Pemberley for several years, and he is a respectable person." Jianying looked at Elizabeth inquiringly, and Elizabeth nodded. Said she had indeed heard.

"Then you also know that old Mr. Darcy is very important to Mr. Wickham? You know that when he passed away, he specifically mentioned that Mr. Darcy would value him, and he left him a legacy of a thousand pounds and A priesthood?" Jian Ying continued to ask.

Elizabeth was a little confused, and she nodded, "Mr. Wickham also mentioned these things a little. Could it be that Mr. Darcy admitted to you that he didn't feel that he had done something wrong to Mr. Wickham? He actually Can you still be so shameless?"

Jian Ying shook her head: "Don't worry, I think you must not know that the reason why Mr. Wickham was not ecclesiastical is not that Mr. Darcy robbed his inheritance, but that he offered it himself. And, do you want to exchange that priesthood for direct economic benefits that can be spent?"

"It's impossible!" Elizabeth said excitedly.

"Nothing is impossible. This priesthood bought him three thousand pounds of property, but the money was obviously not enough for him, so a priest died in the parish that Mr. Darcy could influence, and he wrote again To Mr. Darcy, hoping to get the priesthood again, I think you must know by now, Mr. Darcy must have firmly refused."

"This... This is completely different from what Mr. Wickham said..." Elizabeth was confused.

"Mr. Darcy is indeed arrogant, all of us can see this, but his character is trustworthy, an arrogant person doesn't bother to do such things, in this case it is just a small A lot of money." Jianying looked at Elizabeth, and she saw her wavering.

"I believe that his resolute refusal of Mr. Wickham to accept the priesthood did stem from his arrogance, and he looked down on him. But I don't believe the accusations about his morality. Mr. Darcy made it clear to me , and many reputable people can be found to testify.”

Jian Ying sighed and said: "Mr. Wickham is indeed personable. In fact, I also feel good about him when I see him. I don't want to believe that he will be the villainous and dissolute person that Mr. Darcy said. But when this matter When there is only one person who is right, I am willing to believe Mr. Darcy."

"So, because Mr. Wickham couldn't get more benefits from Mr. Darcy, he was resentful towards him, so that he made up such a nonsense?"

"I think that's true. Just the way Mr. Wickham speaks ill of the Darcys and sweeps up all his relatives shows that Mr. Wickham is not telling the truth. He is not a decent enough man." Gentleman."

Jianying added: "Compared to Mr. Wickham who said bad things about Mr. Darcy to me after meeting us once, I believe more in Mr. Darcy who has been with us for a long time and is a good friend of Mr. Bingley. Mr. Bingley's character Needless to say, his friends were not, I suppose, dark-minded, for there is little natural secrecy among intimate friends, and Mr. Bingley, as a confidant, would not have been deceived to such an extent by him. "

Elizabeth said thoughtfully: "Perhaps what you said is right, Mr. Wickham is really terrible. He said every name and every fact is very well-founded, without any evidence. There is no hypocrisy, and his expression is still so sincere. How can he do such disgraceful things while trying to please the lady? Even if it is out of resentment, he should not do such immoral things. "

When they were talking, Mary listened quietly. After they finished speaking, Mary began to express her own opinions. She expressed a lot of insights on the two gentlemen, and even quoted classics to fully explain her thoughts.

In general, she thinks that Mr. Wickham and Mr. Darcy are right and wrong should be investigated again, and then go to people who know them to verify, because the current views of the two parties are all one-sided opinions of the two parties. And it's the opposite.

Elizabeth still wanted to say something to Jian Ying, but seeing Mary talking about her thoughts like this, she swallowed the words that came to her lips.

She felt that Jane had become a little less like her. This was the first time she had firmly said that a person was not a good person, but the person who made her think so had already left here in a hurry.
