Jane Ying of Pride and Prejudice

"It's still cold, put on a thick cloak!"

"It will be hot again at noon, but it is still so cold in the morning and evening. I don't know how the weather in Kent is?"

"It's a beautiful place. The gardens, houses, and roads are all beautiful! Jane, Eliza, my sister must have written to you and introduced her home?"

In the moving carriage, several young ladies were talking. Maria Lucas had the honor to visit the vicarage in Kent with her father, Sir William Lucas.

They were also accompanied by the Bennet sisters of Longbourn. After hearing Maria's words, the two sisters smiled at each other and talked to her about Kent, who had been guessing for a long time.

They were going to Charlotte's house as guests, and the itinerary had been scheduled long before Charlotte got married.

For this reason, Elizabeth's fiancé, Mr. Bingley, was very sad that he couldn't accompany him because he had something to do!

They set off early in the morning, and left slowly from Harford in Lucas's four-wheeled carriage that could accommodate four people.

Maria seemed very excited along the way, obviously full of curiosity and longing for Charlotte's new life.Now that Charlotte is married, she began to worry about her younger sisters. She asked Maria to go to Kent to see if she could find a wealthy husband there.

On Elizabeth's side, the wedding date has almost been set. On a certain day in May, Elizabeth will put on her wedding dress and become a beautiful bride.

However, the invitation from her closest friend was an agreement that had been made long ago, and even Elizabeth could not refuse.But she made up her mind to pay only a short visit, and soon to return with Sir William, and then to prepare for her wedding in peace.

The high-spirited Maria and the eloquent Sir William, although not much fun along the way, did not make people feel uncomfortable.

But Jianying's attention still inevitably drifts out of the car, and so does Elizabeth.

Jianying has a good ability to focus on two things, so there are basically no cold spots along the way.Fortunately, the road from Harford to Kent was not very far, only fifty miles, but it took almost half a day, so they arrived in the afternoon.

In March, the climate has begun to warm up. Although it is still cold, the scenery along the way is also unique.Walking along the beautiful road, even Jianying, who is not used to carriages, feels relaxed and happy.

Sir William couldn't stop praising his daughter's place, as if he had already seen it.

When he arrived at the place, the ladies who had been in the carriage for a long time were exhausted, but he was the only one who was still in high spirits. He hit it off with his son-in-law, and as soon as he entered the house, he began to admire the various decorations and arrangements of the Collins house.

They also went to the garden to enjoy the scenery. In the garden where hoarfrost still remained, the Weng and his son-in-law had a very happy chat.

Charlotte couldn't help being a little embarrassed, she took the opportunity to bring the female guest back to the house, and left her husband in the garden to give advice.

She is smart and encourages her husband to take care of the garden himself, so that he can spend more time in the garden!After she told her friends about her plan, although they felt sorry for her situation, they had to praise her sweet care in life.

"If I were to be with Mr. Collins every day, I would not be able to bear it in a week."

"Lizzy..."

The days in the pastor's house passed quickly. At noon on the second day after they arrived, a delicate guest ushered in outside this not-so-big house. , and saw Miss de Bourgh and Mrs. Gingerson from Rosings standing at the garden gate, and Mrs. and Mrs. Collins were talking attentively to them.

Mr. Collins's demeanor was overly attentive, but apparently everyone except the newcomer was used to it.

When the beautiful carriage left, they got a piece of news.

Rosings invites them all to dinner tomorrow!

This is really good news that makes everyone happy!Mr. Collins is even more satisfied, allowing these guests to see the grandeur of his benefactor and the importance he receives, but what he has planned a long time ago has been paid off so early. Wish, isn't it a performance that he is more valued?

He glanced at Jian Ying with some complacency, uh, Jian Ying seems to be a little absent-minded at the moment!When will my dear Mr. Darcy say he will be at Rosings some day?Is his injury healed?

Jianying spent the whole afternoon in all kinds of wild thoughts, and naturally she didn't listen so carefully to Mr. Collins' detailed instructions, such as Rosings' house, servants, etiquette after seeing the master, etc.

On the second day, when he came to remind him tirelessly again, Jian Ying came to her senses in a daze. It didn't seem to matter when Mr. Darcy came!

Rosings, Lady Catherine?Isn't this one of dear Mr. Darcy's relatives, one of his few elders?Is it her future elders?

"Don't worry about your dress, my dear cousin. Lady Catherine would not want us to be richly dressed, but only for herself and her daughter. I advise you to choose only one of your own. You don't have to be too particular about what you wear, but Lady Catherine will never look down on you because your clothes are plain. She likes everyone to stick to their own roles, and there is a difference between high and low."

His words did not comfort Jianying, who was a bit embarrassed. She picked out carefully, and always felt that all her skirts were either not dignified enough or too old-fashioned. At this time, even Jianying, who usually does not pay much attention to dressing up Can not help but hesitate.

While the ladies were getting dressed, Mr. Collins went to the door of each person's room two or three times. Fortunately, his wife arranged the Bennet sisters in the same room, which greatly facilitated his tireless exhortation to the cousins. .

When the cousins ​​finished dressing up, the cousin who had been chattering before suddenly lost his voice as if his throat had been choked.

But he is a strict and well-behaved person. After clearing his throat, he immediately reminded him again in a dignified manner: "Everyone, you'd better hurry up. Madam Catherine hates late guests when she invites people to dinner."

Maria was extremely nervous, and she was even more apprehensive about visiting Rosings than Jian Ying.

"Jane, you are so beautiful today! I don't think even the most demanding person can say that there is something wrong with you." After comforting her sister, Charlotte immediately praised Jianying's outfit today.

"Of course, but maybe being too beautiful is also a fault?" Elizabeth smiled, very relaxed, but she could see that Jianying was a little nervous.

"Just for the sake of Mr. Darcy, this old lady will be kinder to you." Elizabeth said in Jianying's ear as they walked through the beautiful gardens.

But it was only half a mile away, but Jianying, who was wearing makeup, could be said to be dressed up, became more and more nervous.

The nervousness of the ugly daughter-in-law going to see her in-laws almost made Jian Ying, who is used to putting on a show, fail.No matter how beautiful the scenery is, it can't save her from the uneasy mood at the moment.

Only Elizabeth was the calmest. Seeing how calm she was, Jianying was finally able to pretend.No matter whether the lady has already guessed the matter between her and Darcy, as an aunt, she has no ability to make decisions for Darcy, and she only hopes that she can get her first or second attention, so that Darcy will not be difficult to do in the future!

If you can't get what you want, at least you have made careful efforts, elders, as long as it is not completely unreasonable, you will be coaxed one day, right?

At this moment, Mr. Collins' exaggerated tone and all kinds of proud introductions diverted the attention of everyone who was a little nervous except Elizabeth.

They came all the way to the sitting room where Mrs. Catherine's mother and daughter and Mrs. Jiang Jinsheng were, and finally saw this noble lady. At this moment, she stood up very modestly to greet them, and then Mrs. Collins introduced the guests to the host. .
