Jane Ying of Pride and Prejudice

Chapter 5 February 1811, 10

"Is Miss Bennet okay?" Bingley asked with concern.

At the ball, he not only heard Mr. Robinson mention the Bennet family's eldest lady, but also many people mentioned her.She was indeed very beautiful, much more beautiful than he had imagined.

Those eyes are particularly brilliant, girls with blue eyes usually look gentle and peaceful, but her blue eyes are so clear that people can see the vast blue sky.

"Thank you for your concern. I am already much better. The care of our loved ones always makes us want to get better sooner." Jianying's voice was gentle, and she looked at Elizabeth gently. Elizabeth took care of her the most when she was sick.

Bingley looked at Elizabeth following Jianying's line of sight, and he immediately said cheerfully: "Yes, it's great to have relatives to take care of you when you're sick!"

He looked at Elizabeth enthusiastically: "Are you guys taking a walk?" The blue sky was immediately forgotten by him. Compared with the beautiful but unreachable blue sky, he still prefers this lively elf that is within reach!

"Yes, the weather is fine today, and I have been ill for a while, so Lizzy accompanied me out for a walk."

As the eldest sister in the family, Jianying usually greets the guests first on such occasions. Jianying noticed that although Mr. Bingley was surprised when he first met her, his eyes suddenly lit up when he saw Elizabeth, full of sincerity. And happy, she couldn't help laughing secretly in her heart.

But she still opened her mouth on purpose before Elizabeth, wanting to see how Mr. Bingley would react?

"Oh, it's good to take a walk, and we went for a walk too! Isn't that right, Darcy? The scenery of Longborn is so beautiful!" Although she was answering Jianying's words, her eyes were more on Elizabeth!

This is a young man who can see the end at a glance. Although he has inherited the family business, he is only 22 years old and still retains his innocence and sincerity.

Jianying somewhat believed that he really fell in love with Elizabeth at first sight!Although they changed people, the result is not bad, isn't it?

"Longbourn's scenery is not bad!" This was Darcy's somewhat slow reaction. Of course, after hearing his words, the two ladies just smiled, and they coincidentally remembered his comment on Elizabeth. It seems that There are really not many people who can catch the eyes of this gentleman!

……

Jianying gradually fell behind, so that Elizabeth could take the initiative in the conversation, and let the two young people talk by themselves to deepen their understanding.

"Miss Bennet!"

"Huh?! Mr. Darcy!"

Jian Ying glanced at the taciturn Mr. Darcy walking beside her in a little surprise. She thought that facing Mr. Darcy who was like a silent iceberg, she would open the topic first, but she didn't expect Mr. Darcy to speak first. I just don't know what he wants to talk about with himself?

Although it is always necessary to say something when walking together to avoid embarrassment, but since neither of them intends to have a deep friendship with the other, it is naturally enough to listen to the conversation of the two in front and enjoy the beautiful scenery.So much so that Jianying just listened to Bingley and Elizabeth chatting with a smile at first, and didn't even remember to exchange greetings with Darcy.

"Has Miss Bennet been in poor health?" Jian Ying's stare seemed to make this taciturn gentleman a little helpless, his face became more tense, and he greeted stiffly.

Jianying was a little puzzled, and she replied decently: "Thank you for your concern, it's just that I was a little weak due to the wind and cold a few days ago, but now I'm all right. In fact, my body has always been good! The time I got the wind and cold was just an accident. It's raining!"

After thinking about it, in order not to neglect this young gentleman, Jian Ying talked with him about the most common topics - the weather and the beautiful scenery of Longbourne.

"The weather in Longbourn is always clearer this season, and there is something beautiful about Longbourn in the sunshine, isn't it Mr. Darcy?"

"Yes, there's something special about the beauty of the country! Does Miss Bennet come here for a walk every day?"

"It was only occasionally before, but I will probably come out often in the future, maybe in the morning. I need to go out more often, otherwise I will be easily knocked down by the disease."

"You're right! Ladies still need a healthy body to enjoy the dance." Darcy thought of Miss Bennet's miss of yesterday's dance due to illness, and a thought flashed in her mind, "If she was here yesterday , maybe he'll ask her to dance! '

Immediately, he was a little annoyed, when would he lower his standards because of the beautiful looks of the ladies?

"I heard that the natural scenery of Derbyshire is very beautiful, but unfortunately I don't like traveling in a carriage, otherwise I can increase my knowledge by traveling a lot."

"Yes, there is nothing wrong with the young lady going out more often, but you must pay attention to ensuring the safety of your trip." He paused, looked at Jianying, and then added: "And comfort!"

……

They walked together for nearly an hour. Elizabeth and Bingley seemed to have endless words to talk about. Jane Ying and Darcy also talked about the weather, the scenery, and finally how to increase their knowledge and whether the ladies need to grow their brains.

"Whether it's ladies or gentlemen, it's not wrong to have more knowledge in other aspects besides entertainment, especially ladies. This will help them distinguish the degree of sincerity in people and avoid being deceived!"

Although Darcy has a secular and common view that ladies need to know etiquette, playing the piano, painting, embroidery, dancing and other crafts, he also thinks that ladies need to read more books to increase their knowledge.

When he heard Jianying say that the ladies still need to have more brains in order to survive and not be cheated, he naturally agreed thoughtfully.

"Of course, the world tells us that ladies need to have a little bit of talent in order to win favor. My talent in this area is very common, and I prefer to listen and appreciate."

"Miss Bennet doesn't seem to like the talents that such ladies must have?" Darcy's eyes showed suspicion.

Jianying raised her eyebrows and smiled: "It's not that I don't like it, it's just that I don't like using it as a means of survival and gaining future capital. I prefer pure appreciation and love from the bottom of my heart. Unfortunately, I am rather vulgar and can't do it." To devote oneself to art, so I am used to being a simple appreciator!"

She maintained the smile on her lips. In her previous life, she was not an artist. In this life, she has been helpless, so how could she be an artist?

"It can be seen that Mr. Darcy appreciates talented young ladies."

"That's not all. It's rare to find ladies who are good at appreciating these talents."

"I thought you would say, 'Naturally, if the ladies don't practice their talents, why don't they eat and die every day?'" Jian Ying joked with a smile.

"..." Darcy was silent and aggrieved.

"Of course, maybe you would say 'If you are ugly, you need to study more'?" Jianying continued to exert her strength, and Mr. Darcy's slightly aggrieved demo was really interesting.

"Miss Bennet seems to have misunderstood me..." Darcy frowned slightly, feeling that Miss Bennet's beautiful smiling face in front of her was a bit disgusting.

"not at all……"

"Pfft~" At some point, the two people who were walking in front had already turned their heads and began to listen to their conversation.

"That's right, Mr. Darcy who only danced twice at the ball!" Elizabeth frantically added.

Hahahahahahahahahahahaha...

Bentley has gone crazy laughing!

"Well, I'm joking, Mr. Darcy, it's been a pleasure talking to you!"

……

When bidding farewell, Bingley was still reluctant to part with Elizabeth, so much so that he insisted on sending them to the door of his house, and then reluctantly left!

When they rode back to Netherfield Gardens, Bingley said to Darcy excitedly: "Miss Elizabeth is really a rare and lovely person. I really hope to see her again as soon as possible. Her sister, Miss Bennet, is indeed so beautiful." She is as gentle and beautiful as others say, and very funny, like an angel. But Miss Elizabeth is cuter, her big lively and charming eyes seem to speak, don't you, Darcy!"

Mr. Darcy didn't speak immediately. He recalled the extremely beautiful Miss Bennet he saw and her always pleasant conversations, so he replied lightly: "Miss Elizabeth is indeed a Beautiful and lovely, Miss Bennet is also a beauty in a million, but she seems to smile too much! It's no different from other high-society ladies."

But he thought of what she said teasingly after he got acquainted with Miss Bennet, pursed his lips and said in his heart: "It's quite courageous, but I'm too familiar with it." '

"Well, Darcy, you are really picky. Although Longbourne is a country, I dare say that Miss Elizabeth and Miss Bennet are just as good in London."

The sound of horseshoes "da da" sounded, and gradually disappeared.

At dinner, Jian Ying sat at the dining table and looked at the tasteless dinner in front of her eyes. She could only rely on dipping sauce and salt and pepper for dinner. Her appetite was hit again. Some dark dishes in the UK really deserved their reputation. Although it was good to eat at the beginning because it was fresh, but it has been like this for the past few days and it really drives people crazy.

She is an authentic partial vegetarian, and her eating habits tend to be salty, light, fresh, spicy, etc. Although she eats sweets, she only tastes them occasionally. She does not like eggs and meat with high protein content because of her body and taste. She likes it very much, she likes tea more than coffee, she likes porridge side dishes more than sweet porridge, and she likes small rice and pasta dishes more than various chocolate desserts.

This is a rhythm that drives people crazy. I can finally understand the bitterness of those foreign students, and her bitterness is even worse, because this body is used to eating this before, and it is true for the British taste. They are all delicious, and the dietary differences caused by regional cultures are difficult to reconcile in the short term.

Simply put, Jane Bennet's body is already used to these foods. Putting aside her panicked heart, she can't live with her usual diet.

but! !Jianying misses the Chinese food she used to eat, the porridge she drank every night, and all kinds of big dishes such as hot pot and boiled fish that she can only taste occasionally due to physical limitations!

Even without these, it's okay to eat home-cooked dishes that were boring in the previous life. Although she has the stomach of a British person now, she still has the heart of a big foodie country.

Jianying had to make a secret decision, either she would try to find a Chinese cook to satisfy her five internal organs temple in the future, or she would do it by herself. Join the cook at home, how much will her cooking skills improve?

You must know that although some cuisines in the UK are called dark cuisines, they cannot be killed at once. There are always a lot of delicacies, especially the delicacies of the upper class and some special snacks.

But in this small village of my own, the taste of the food is really common, let alone something that can satisfy Jian Ying, a big foodie girl who has eaten all the cuisines in the north and south of the foodie country, and there are many delicacies in the world. !

Inviting a Chinese chef seems to be a no-brainer, Jianying can only bite the bullet and see if she can try the cook at home, maybe one day she can eat boiled buns, soup dumplings, and steamed buns at home How about buns, pancakes, burritos, and small biscuits?

At least beat the flour and water into the eggs, add chopped scallions, etc., and then spread a thin layer of fried pancakes on the pan, right?

Then stir-fry vinegared potato shreds, or raw cucumbers, and roll them inside...

"Sucking~" It must be delicious to eat, right?

With such a beautiful hope in mind, while Mrs. Bennet still regretted that Mr. Bingley could not come to Bennet's house for dinner, Jianying filled her stomach without taste, and then fell asleep in extreme miss .
