Jane Ying of Pride and Prejudice

第37章 1811年12月16日-12月21日

Time always flies, and a longtime visitor from Longbourn called again.It happened to be Monday, and Mr. Collins came to Longbourne on time two weeks after he left. He was naturally visiting his fiancée and discussing marriage matters by the way.

Because his benefactor, Mrs. Catherine, hoped that his wedding date would be as soon as possible, so he spent most of his time at Lou's Manor every day after he came, until the time when the Bennet family was about to go to bed, Only then slowly came back to Longborn.At this time, he always has to take the trouble to apologize to everyone so that everyone can forgive him for not returning all day.

To be honest, it's a good thing that he is out of the sight of the Bennet family, at least he won't always remind Mrs. Bennet.

But Mrs. Bennet did not suffer any less because of this. She almost wanted to exhaust her whole life's pain in these few days.Naturally, as she believed, Jian Ying, the culprit of all this, failed to escape her countless bombardments.The poor Jianying has a good temper, always letting her talk, and she can still find fun and enjoy herself.

Whenever she slipped away in a fair manner when Mrs. Bennet was crying, her younger sisters would always look at her with sympathy and admiration, and Jianying was proud of them all.She would also find various reasons to avoid such bombardment, so she stayed in the garden longer these days instead.

Even though winter is here in the garden, one or two flowers still bloom from time to time, and then they are moved to the warm room.Of course, this is all due to Jianying, she is like an old lady, playing with these flowers and plants all day long.

According to what she revealed to Elizabeth, she once thought of opening a small flower shop in a place where spring flowers bloom, where there is always sunshine, blue sky, clear streams, and clean streets... A shop owner holding a book and drinking tea has lived a fairy-tale life.

This idea is quite romantic, but it is too unrealistic.There are no nice places like this in the country, at least not with guests.And London, that is a city with a particularly arbitrary weather!

But one must always be good at dreaming, so as to appear happier.Sometimes, it makes more sense to be romantic, and for the young ladies of Longbourn, such romantic ideas are practical!

There should be no shortage of flowers in Longborn this winter!

There is another episode about flowers.One night, Mr. Collins approached Jianying very coyly. You must know that since he failed to propose marriage to Jianying, he has not taken the initiative to talk to Jianying alone!

guess what?It turned out that Mr. Collins knew that the reason why Longbourn's flowers still exist in winter was entirely the result of Jianying's meticulous care.But he really wanted to please his fiancée, so he summoned up great courage and came to ask Jianying for permission, so that he could bring a bouquet of beautiful flowers to his fiancée early the next morning.

Jian Ying would naturally not reject the beauty of an adult for his little romance and tricks, on the contrary, she was happy to see it succeed.She also said that as long as they don't pick off all the flowers, the flowers at home can be used by her cousin these days.

Mr. Collins gratefully accepted the kindness, although he could not help but compare it with the indoor greenhouse of Rosings.

……

After some time passed like this, Mr. Collins left again on Saturday. He left his beloved Charlotte with great regret, but he was a pastor and had his own work, so he always did.He made sure he was able to lead a service every weekend.

However, he also said that he was not too reluctant, because when he comes to Hertfordshire next time, it will be time for him to marry his bride, and then he will become the happiest man in the world, and this day It will be coming soon.

Before that, Bingley's letter came again before the others, and this time brought news that was not very good news.He said that he still needs to stay in London for a few more days, there is an unexpected incident that needs to be dealt with, and he asks Elizabeth for her understanding, and he will definitely come back within half a month.

Although his tone was extremely sincere, his apology was also very sincere, and he even expressed his thoughts that could not be expressed in words, but Elizabeth still couldn't help feeling disappointed.

Naturally, Christmas was to be spent with the family, and the Bingley sisters had already made up their minds not to come back to Longbourne, so Mr. Bingley was naturally stuck.

She distressedly told Jianying about her thoughts and speculation about why her fiancé continued to stay in London, but Jianying subconsciously felt that maybe there was something wrong?

For the business which she had asked Mr. Darcy to do had not yet come to fruition, and Wickham had been in close contact with the Bennet family these days.

Except for Jianying and Elizabeth, everyone praised Mr. Wickham, but because there was no evidence, Jianying and the others expressed doubts about Mr. Wickham's character, but no one cared.

The set that Jian Ying once heard... What Wickham said, how much Mr. Darcy has wronged him, how much he has suffered for Mr. Darcy, etc... Everyone now recognizes it, and it is open to the public. to talk about.

All could not help but be very pleased with the thought that they had disliked Mr. Darcy so long ago, long before they knew it at all.

But a few days ago, Wickham suddenly disappeared from Longbourn. It is said that a friend of his in London introduced him to a promising job, and he went to deal with it.

After Jianying heard the news, she immediately had a feeling that Darcy should have started to act.At this moment, she suddenly had a feeling of regret. It was easy to deal with Wickham's matter, but it was also difficult to say. Their trap is far away from England.

At the beginning, because of impulsiveness, she felt that Darcy should solve Wickham's matter even for Miss Darcy's sake. This kind of thinking was too taken for granted. It was obvious that she wanted to prevent her family from being abducted by Wickham, but let others spend time, money and energy , the attitude that was taken for granted as a bystander at the beginning is really too careless now.

But the matter has come to this point, and Jian Ying can only wait for the development of the incident. Although she may not be able to get first-hand information from Darcy, she should be able to learn the details from Mr. Bingley afterwards.

Because of worrying about this matter, Jianying subconsciously thinks about Darcy more time!I don't know what kind of mood the person she was thinking of was in London not far away?

Has she already begun to forget her as she wished?
