Jane Ying of Pride and Prejudice

Chapter 8 February 1811, 11

Jianying doesn't know what Charlotte is thinking at the moment, but she knows that Charlotte is an independent person, she is sober and realistic, which is rare in this era, so in the end she always gets what she needs most at the moment I got it, if she decides something, it must be after careful consideration.

"I've been here with Lizzy before. Speaking of which, Lizzy discovered this balcony! Did you tell her that your house still has such a good place?"

"Of course not. As the host, I will only entertain her more attentively, and I won't drag her to be lazy like you are now!" Charlotte's expression became much more open-minded, but she was still unwilling to let Jian Ying go. With a natural expression, he counterattacked back forcefully.

"Lizzy is really busy today!" Charlotte complained again.

"Who said it wasn't! She forgot her sister and her friend!"

When Elizabeth was mentioned, Charlotte wanted to ask Jane what she thought of Elizabeth and Bingley. It seemed that her opinion was not that optimistic.

"It seems that Lizzy and Mr. Bingley are getting better and better. Mr. Bingley is really a warm gentleman, and Lizzy doesn't hesitate to express her affection. Do you think the two of them will marry smoothly?"

"Lizzy's personality has always been generous and frank, and Mr. Bingley is also a sincere and enthusiastic gentleman. If you only consider the relationship between them, I believe their combination will definitely bring happiness to each other."

Seeing that she was uncertain, Charlotte asked, "Then what about other considerations?"

"The daughters of our family only have a dowry of [-] pounds, and the land in the family is limited to heirs. Although the relatives are lovely and lovely, they are not so worthy of the stage for many families..."

What Jianying said was the truth, but she felt that she was thinking a little pessimistically, as if to comfort herself, and because she knew Mr. Bingley in the story, she immediately added:

"Perhaps Mr. Bingley doesn't mind these things? After all, he already has the ability of autonomy, and should be able to decide his own wishes and future."

Jian Ying's opinion is naturally based on some judgments in the original book. She feels that although Bingley and Elizabeth have a high possibility of a happy ending, judging from some situations in the book and Bingley's character, Bingley was influenced by others to give up Elizabeth's. Probably not for nothing.

Although in the original book, the reason why Bentley left Netherfield Gardens for London was that both he and Darcy felt that the original Jane treated him no differently from others, and thought that Jane didn't like him.But Jian Ying felt that the family situation of the Bennet family was more or less one of the straws that broke the camel's back, right?

If Bentley still left without leaving a word this time, then even if Elizabeth would chase after them to London, it would be difficult for them to have a good ending like the original book for their cold treatment.

Although Elizabeth's love for Bentley is obvious now, there is no guarantee that Bentley will propose to Elizabeth smoothly. The situation is different after all, and there are still great variables.

But it seems that the situation between them is much better than the situation between Yuan Shen and Bentley in the original book!You could be a little more optimistic about them.

Charlotte was reminded of Jane's previous sentence, and she retorted:

"Love is a matter of two people, but marriage is a matter of two families. Maybe Mr. Bingley can ignore the prejudices of the world, but what about his sisters? What about his friends? I think Mr. Bingley is a good young man, but Not necessarily unaffected by others."

As she spoke, she couldn't help becoming worried: "I'm really worried about Lizzy, maybe she will get hurt, but fortunately Lizzy is an open-minded girl, and the damage can always be minimized..."

Jianying was a little silent, and there was a possibility that Elizabeth would be hurt, so she said firmly: "If you can't even overcome such secular prejudice, then Mr. Bingley is not worthy of our dear Lizzy, and I will resolutely stop it." They, try to minimize my sister's pain!"

Charlotte also looked at Jane with a smile, "You're right!"

Together, they set the goal of protecting Elizabeth.

But he didn't know how good Darcy's eyes and ears were outside the curtain. He naturally heard a few words of the conversation between the two ladies, and he felt uncomfortable.Although he felt that he knew Miss Bennet better, but as if he had been reminded, he went through Miss Bennet's unseemly relatives in his heart, and then he strengthened his heart and left this area. She didn't hear Jianying's last firm words.

And when Jian Ying and the others came out from behind the curtain, they found that Mr. Darcy was really not here, and secretly praised him for being a decent gentleman, even if he seemed a little proud.

After Jianying returned to the crowd, she went to look for her sisters. Mary's outfit this time was a reference made by Jianying and Elizabeth, and she looked like an eye-catching beauty, so many men invited her to dance.

She also kept in mind Jian Ying's advice that a lady's talent will only be properly displayed to people, because things are rare and expensive, if the whole audience is full of her piano and singing, then everyone will only feel that it is commonplace and unremarkable. cherish.

Mary felt that it made sense, so she was not so eager to express herself. Instead, she only played one of her best pieces reservedly, and then gave the opportunity to other ladies. The abdication, as well as her proficient and superb skills, still won her the applause of the people around her.

Mary believed Jian Ying even more. Even when she heard people's applause after leaving the piano bench, she desperately wanted to sit back and play again to arouse more applause from people, but she still held back.

So when Mary saw Jian Ying, she showed a small expression of "I've never been very good, please praise me", Jian Ying couldn't help but praised her.

But when she left Mary and tried to find the rest of the family, she was accidentally seen by Sir William Lucas who was talking to Darcy. When Jianying came over, she immediately had an idea, and said to Jianying:

"Dear Miss Bennet, why don't you dance? Young people should show your beautiful figure on the dance floor, Mr. Darcy, let me introduce you to this beautiful lady, this is our Lambeau Well, the most outstanding beauty, such a partner, I don't think you will not dance, right?"

He held Jianying's hand and prevented her from leaving him. Although Darcy was very surprised and still entangled with this young lady in his heart, he was very happy to take that hand in his heart.

Jianying tried to decline, but she was unwilling to embarrass Sir William, and she also had a good impression of Darcy, thinking that although he had shortcomings, he was still a friend worthy of deep friendship, so she obediently put her hand in Darcy West hands, and then walked onto the dance floor.

Darcy's heart was extremely complicated at the moment. On the one hand, he asked himself to stay away from this lady, and on the other hand, he couldn't resist his inner desire, so the tone of his words was a bit awkward: "Miss Bennet, I heard that you actually I think sitting on the bench is better than dancing."

Jian Ying was immediately choked by his words, and her gentle eyes immediately brought condemnation, and she had to answer his question out of courtesy, so she could only say vaguely, "Sometimes it is like this."

But she is not willing to talk to him anymore. Her personality has always been gentle and kind, but sometimes she always unconsciously breaks her skills in front of Darcy, revealing her other side without pretense.

On the one hand, her nature is indeed gentle and kind, but because of the experience in her previous life, her gentleness and kindness have a bottom line. Maybe Darcy always steps on this bottom line on purpose, so it seems that she is not so gentle and considerate occasionally. This must be Darcy Xi's fault, at this point, Jianying is absolutely unwilling to speculate on this gentleman with the greatest goodwill.

As soon as the dance was over, Jian Ying slipped to Mary's side immediately without waiting for the others to come back to invite them to watch the performances of those talented ladies.

Unexpectedly, Miss Bingley, who saw Jian Ying and Darcy dancing, came over instead of teasing Mr. Darcy.Seemingly looking at Jian Ying sincerely, he sincerely praised her outstanding manners and light dancing posture, and said that he had never heard the performance of her dear friend Jane, and asked her to show her hand in public, otherwise she would sleep at night I can't sleep anymore.

Unable to resist Caroline's repeated demands, Jianying sat down in embarrassment. She really didn't know much about music and painting.

The original piece that Miss Jane Bennet knew, Jianying hadn’t practiced it recently, fearing that she would make a mistake, she simply played the only piece of English pop music she knew in her previous life. Fortunately, her voice was in good condition. Although the performance was not exquisite, she was appreciated for her abundant emotions and novel tunes.

Firmly rejecting the request for another song, Jianying secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

"Did you compose the song Miss Bennet sang by yourself?" Caroline seemed to want to find some loopholes for Jianying because she didn't embarrass her, but Jianying was really annoyed at this time. I don't know what happened to this friend?

Could it be that no matter how sincere a friendship is, once it meets her sweetheart, it will be completely destroyed?

"No, it's just a country tune I heard by accident. I didn't compose it myself. I'm really not good at music."

Caroline seemed to be trying to say something, but she saw Darcy looking at Jian Ying's deep eyes, swallowed the words on her lips, stopped paying more attention to Jian Ying, and turned to Darcy , whispering ill things about the Longbourne country and the Bennets.
