Jane Ying of Pride and Prejudice

Chapter 7 February 1811, 11

Because of the new neighbors nearby, the neighbors near Longbourne, including the old and new neighbors at Lujiazhuang in Meryton, have been walking around very frequently. Sir Lucas had a big treat this day. He invited many friends. Bennett People from the family and Netherfield were no exception, and almost all the nearby families gathered together this time.

Jianying's body has finally recovered completely, so as soon as she arrived at Lucas's house, she made an amazing appearance for everyone. Although there were many noble girls who were fashionable and well-mannered at the party, people's eyes still drifted involuntarily to Jane Ying.

She has disappeared from the ball for a long time, so her friends have not noticed that she has become more beautiful at some point, so beautiful that people can't help but praise her with the most beautiful language, and invite her to dance one after another , After dancing four dances in a row, including the dance invited by Mr. Bingley out of friendship, Jianying finally couldn't take it anymore.

Thanks to this body's complete memory of the dance steps, as long as she follows the feeling and practice a little, she can cope well with other people's dance invitations, but it is really tiring!

With a slightly tired face on her face, she told an attentive young man that since she had just recovered from a serious illness and felt weak and wished for a glass of milk, no one invited her to dance again.

After taking the milk that this kind and attentive young man brought her, Jian Ying took a sip to express her gratitude, and then bid farewell to this dull young man who was tormented by her smile and her guilt for not being considerate enough.

Got up and walked to a place where there were few people, Charlotte, the eldest daughter of the Lucas family, was sitting here, smiling at the men and women on the dance floor, Darcy was standing not far away, holding a glass of red wine, also silently thinking What!

Darcy, who noticed her coming, looked over her dark eyes, Jianying smiled and saluted him, and then sat beside Charlotte.

"It's hilarious, isn't it?"

Sipping the warm milk in her hand, Jianying said with a smile, and Charlotte nodded in agreement.

"You have always been the most popular girl at the ball, how did you get to be with me, who was sitting on the bench tonight?"

"I'm a little tired, probably because I haven't danced for a long time, and I feel that my whole leg is going to be stiff. Besides, there is nothing wrong with sitting on a cold bench, at least it is clean and comfortable!"

"You're wrong, passively sitting on the bench is completely different from actively sitting on the bench. I thought you would dance all over the audience."

"That's unnecessary, just take pity on my two legs, please let me sit next to you." Jianying made a coquettish expression.

Charlotte immediately wrapped her arms around her shoulders cooperatively: "Beauty, don't make such an expression again, I really can't control it, I feel so sorry!"

Jianying and Charlotte laughed together: "I'm not the queen of the dance floor tonight." Jianying raised her eyebrows and signaled to Elizabeth who was dancing with Bingley: "She looks so happy recently!"

Charlotte followed her gaze and immediately nodded in agreement: "Lizzy is very happy recently, I am so happy for her!"

"Yes! She is very happy, no matter what the result is, she is very happy now, isn't she?" Jianying stared at Elizabeth and said softly: "Even if the happy event we like to see doesn't happen in the end, the happiness at this time is worth it, Li Cui is not someone who can't hold on and let go!"

"Yes, I like Lizzy the most. Although she is stubborn at times, she has always insisted on her own. If she still can't do anything in the end, she can adjust herself and let go as soon as possible. She will work harder to obtain greater happiness. I Not as good as her!"

"I'm not as good as her. I always have higher requirements for happiness!" Jianying and Charlotte sighed slightly at the same time.

Jianying drank the remaining milk in the glass, got up and put it on the table, and then sat back down.

"It's still comfortable to sit here with you, and I'm not tired at all!"

Charlotte laughed, "I'm not tired, I'm afraid of dozing off!"

Jian Ying also cheered: "If you want to doze off, it's probably not good to be in front of everyone, but I remember that there is a balcony behind the curtain by the wall, which is very suitable for deserting."

"Have you tried it?" Charlotte asked suspiciously.

"I'm planning to go! What about you?" Jianying rarely looked so gentle and playful, and her vivid facial features were extraordinary. Charlotte said without any other emotion: "You are really a person Cute!"

Jian Ying simply held her hand forcefully, pulling Charlotte behind the curtain as if "revenging".

The curtain was just behind Darcy, when Jane Ying and the others passed by, she heard Darcy's suppressed cough, she couldn't help but looked at him with concern, but seeing that he was only coughing slightly, it was not a serious problem, so she went Pulling Charlotte straight away, he disappeared behind the curtain and slipped away under the nose of Mr. Darcy.

Darcy looked at Jian Ying's tacit eyes, turned a blind eye and continued to drink his own wine, and continued to be his quiet and handsome man!

Because of the unusual concern for Jianying in his heart, Darcy always pays attention to this lady unconsciously, so he often appears not far from her, hoping to have the opportunity to chat with her more.

However, such opportunities always seem so rare. Fortunately, his hearing is very good, so even though the voices of the two ladies' conversation just now have been lowered, he still listened fully.Darcy was always so pleased with this opportunity of getting to know Miss Bennet that he did not leave when the ladies went out to the balcony behind him behind the curtain.

The air at night was cool and fresh. Jian Ying took Charlotte's hand and felt very happy chatting with her. You must know that she usually can chat with Elizabeth at home, but she doesn't have much common language with other people. .

Mr. Bennet is always immersed in his own world. Mrs. Bennet’s brain circuit is usually not on the same channel as her. The other sisters, Mary prefers the world in the book, Kitty and Lydia, Jane Ying felt that the generation gap with them was like a whole Mariana Trench.

Since she became Miss Bennet, Jianying has not chatted with people in such a relaxed manner. After all, she will be with Elizabeth, maybe Darcy and Bingley?Now add another Charlotte.

She had met Elizabeth's close friend several times before. Although she was also her good friend, Charlotte always got along with Elizabeth more.

It was also tonight that Jian Ying was sure that Charlotte is indeed a good girl with a heart of gold. She is not jealous, does not compare, is thoughtful, and knows how to enjoy herself. She is really a rare good friend.

Internally, Charlotte's life at home seems to be a free maid, but she doesn't complain, she just looks for a way out as much as possible.Externally, she is sincere to her friends and does not lie to her friends. She has no jealousy or hatred for her friend's excellence. Instead, she faces it with a peaceful attitude. She really shouldn't be so desperate for life, but should hold her own hope and wait for the happiness she is looking forward to. .

Before that, Jianying was happy to help her friends, at least to make her healthy and not so haggard and old.She should really be a peaceful woman with her own little elegance, not a hopeless woman who has been tortured by life.

"The world inside is so different from the world outside!" Jianying sighed!

"Yes! There is so much noise behind us, but there is such a vast expanse in front of us. It is really an extremely sharp contrast!" Charlotte also sighed.

"Well, the inside is the prosperity of the world, but the outside is the splendor of nature. After every experience, it is a love for life. I suddenly feel that it is good to be alive!" Jianying looked up at the starry sky and said sincerely.No matter whether you have stolen other people's lives or not, you must learn to cherish them, cherish others' lives, and cherish your own too!

"How brave you are!" murmured Charlotte, "so loving life!"

"Anyone who has met the god of death will do this!" Jian Ying stretched out her hand and hugged the starry sky, "Miss Jane Bennet, since I can't give you my life back, how about I live a wonderful life for you?" '

"Who says no? The evening wind is so cool, put on the shawl!" Charlotte put the cashmere shawl on her arm on Jian Ying's shoulders.

Jianying accepted her kindness with a smile, "Thank you!" She held Charlotte's hand, "I think, no matter what kind of life it is, there will always be something worth looking forward to."

"Because our hearts are rich!"

Charlotte was infected by her expression, and suddenly felt that life was really not as bad as she thought!She is indeed 27 years old, and she is not beautiful, and she has no dowry.

She thought that her life was almost at the end, that she would not be able to get married, and would stay at home as an old maid for the rest of her life.Then I will be a free babysitter for my younger brother for life, so as not to be evicted and homeless.Even because of her father's face, she can't go out to be a tutor!

But she is only 27 years old. Although she has no beautiful appearance and no dowry, her father is a knight, and she is the daughter of a gentleman. As the eldest daughter, she also studied grammar and foreign languages ​​for a while. Talent, her embroidery and knitting skills are good, she has seen so many men, and she also has a good understanding of them, assuming that she gave up the illusory love and concentrates on finding a storage cabinet that can bring her a comfortable life, maybe it is not the case. So difficult?

The definition of happiness does not necessarily have to have love, she hopes to have it to decorate her life, but if she can only pursue life, then love is not so important!
