Mr. Collins did not release the tentacles all over his body to find Mr. Darcy as Circe imagined.He probably felt that he had successfully left a pretty good initial impression on the benefactor's nephew, so he decided to take a break for a while and turn his goal to a matter that now seemed more urgent.

Mrs. Bennet initially did not like the guy who suddenly appeared to rob their family's property.She even had the idea of ​​driving people out of the house at the very beginning.But the plan can't keep up with the changes, who would know that this is such a lovely gentleman?Not as good as Mr. Bingley, but much better than that annoying Mr. Darcy.thought Mrs. Bennet.

What's more, this sweet-talking gentleman also proposed to marry one of her daughters.Oh, that would be great.How could he be so thoughtful.

It was unexpected that she could successfully marry two daughters in such a short period of time.Especially her Jane, oh so well married.Her young daughters, especially the pretty Lydia, might also meet a handsome officer.

As for Elizabeth, her temper was not agreeable.Mrs. Bennet curled her lips.In Mr. Collins's status, she is more than enough.But this ignorant stinky girl put on a look of disdain.Oops, if such a good marriage is lost, how can she have good luck again.Some she regrets.In other words, Mr. Collins has a good temper and can always put up with her.Mrs. Bennet thought anxiously.

Sure enough, she was still her Jane, well-behaved, obedient, and sensible.Mr. Bingley has a good eye.If it weren't for Lydia who was still too young, at Jane's current age, I'm afraid she would have married better than her.Her little Lydia was born so pretty.Mrs. Bennet began planning her eldest daughter's marriage to her eldest son-in-law again, and became cheerful again.The only fly in the ointment is that Mr. Bingley is too calm, why didn't he propose marriage quickly?It was decided, however, that it was all a matter of course, and Mrs. Bennet diverted her attention after a brief whining.

With Mrs. Bennet's almost explicit support, Mr. Collins naturally felt that marrying his dear cousin Elizabeth was a certainty.He has imagined the details of many weddings and perfected them one by one.The first is his benefactor, and his wedding must be bathed in the glory of benefactor's kindness.If it can be arranged by this great lady personally, no, no, no, he only needs a blessing from this lady, and he will be satisfied.

Although his cousin is not as good as her elder sister, she is not bad in appearance.Now that I have more contact with it, it is more pleasing to the eye.It's just that this temper is too stubborn, but these are things that need to be considered after marriage.It will get better when you get married.But it's not incomprehensible, a young girl is always shy when it comes to marriage.

So Mr. Collins, who was so confident that he was about to rise to become complacent, spent all the time left over from the misunderstanding, staying by Elizabeth's side.He was so persevering in talking to him that even if Elizabeth didn't want to talk to him, he could still chatter alone and with great interest.He has demonstrated this skill enough.

And every time the dance music sounded, Mr. Collins always asked his dear cousin to dance with him.Elizabeth was so annoyed that her polite smile could hardly last.She offered to introduce a beautiful girl as a female companion for her cousin, in exchange for him not to pester her all the time.

However, Mr. Collins had already identified her, and rejected her proposal righteously, and even said that he was not that interested in the dancing grass, as if the clown who showed off his dancing skills on the dance floor before was not him.He didn't dance himself, and he didn't let Elizabeth dance, which made Elizabeth's second half of the evening miserable and exhausting.

------

Sir Lucas was not in the habit of lingering at balls for long.Although they were not the first group of guests to say goodbye, they were not considered bowls.This has always been a point of great satisfaction to Circe, after all, she is not used to being very interested in balls.If it weren't for Mr. Darcy chatting with her today, she wouldn't know how boring it would be.

Mrs. Bennet was quite different. No matter what ball it was, she always tried to be the last one to leave.What's more, today's dance is hosted by her eldest son-in-law, Mr. Bingley, so you should come down and chat with the host because of emotion and reason, right?

Saying goodbye to the haggard Elizabeth, Circe followed her family into the carriage.

On the way back, Circe wanted to speak a few times, but worried that Sir Lucas was in the car, so he forcibly endured it.When she got home, Circe immediately took Charlotte to the bedroom, she couldn't bear it anymore.

Charlotte more or less guessed what Circe was going to say, her little sister's mind was always so straightforward that it was easy for others to see.So she took the initiative to speak, without giving Circe a chance to speak: "Cercy, good girl, you promised me."

The little girl in front of her immediately looked like a cat whose fur had been wet by the rain, and she sank down, her aura just now was completely gone.She lowered her head and awkwardly tugged at the hem of her skirt, avoiding her sister's gaze.

Circe was silent for a long time, as if she wanted to regain her previous aura, but she still felt faintly guilty, her voice was weak and soft, and she sounded aggrieved: "...you also saw it today Yeah." She spoke briefly, her tone full of accusations and dissatisfaction.

"I know. I knew it a long time ago." Charlotte sighed, but forced herself to speak as hard as possible, otherwise her younger sister might continue to struggle with this matter.

"Listen to me, listen to me," she stopped Circe from making further accusations, and watched the little girl shut her mouth obediently and unwillingly, "I know you don't like Mr. Collins. I don't like it either."

"But liking is different from being suitable. He is suitable for me, I know that. I can handle everything else, but you have to remember this." Charlotte watched Circe seriously indoors Gray-blue eyes.

"He's right for me," she repeated. "Trust my judgment."

"Let's not discuss this subject any more, shall we?" said Charlotte softly.

Circe stubbornly raised her eyes and stared at her for a long time. For a moment, she even looked a little restless, but she took the lead to look away and nodded.She couldn't refuse Charlotte's request, it had always been like this, she was always the first to compromise.

So Charlotte smiled gently, and gently rubbed the top of her sister's hair.

The next day, Circe took Cassandra and ran and jumped around all day.Except for the two meals that she had to go home to eat, she finally managed to get all those unhappy emotions out of her mind.

This time, Charlotte completely blocked all Circe's objections, firmly grasped the little sister's death spot, and nailed the matter to an iron plate.

Don't look at Mr. Collins's appearance that he seems to recognize Elizabeth now, but in fact, he can't be a firm person just by his flattering appearance.This kind of person is best shaken.In particular, Charlotte's performance in front of him can really be called gentle and considerate, while Elizabeth is very arrogant and difficult to get close to.

This is also where Charlotte can slightly alleviate her guilt towards her friends. After all, Elizabeth has no affection for Mr. Collins, and she completely disdains to follow her mother, Mrs. Bennet's idea, to accept this marriage for the sake of the family's property.

Elizabeth is proud and self-respecting, smart and rational. Others will never believe that she is a girl who yearns for pure love.However, in fact, maybe it is because she understands the reality too clearly that she is a little naive when it comes to feelings.

Mr. Darcy came early.He'd always been a punctual guy, but it always made Circe wonder if he didn't need sleep at all.It was the same last time.

Fortunately, the hustle and bustle last time made Circe somewhat prepared. The night before, she specifically asked Cassandra to wake herself up earlier.Speaking of which, Circe always wondered if her Sandy's soul might have been a dog from the beginning.Of all the cats she'd ever seen, no cat got up as early as Sandy did.Don't cats always look lazy?

But apparently, Circe wasn't up early enough.At least it was much later than the excited guy who almost stayed up all night and got up early in the morning to dress up.

Mr. Darcy is now also a fashionable man who will take the initiative to pay attention to the new fashion in London, but it is still too low-key to change a plaid tie.He was going to be four or five years older than Circe, and if he didn't dress himself up younger, standing with Circe, he looked like he was going to be a generation older.

So Circe had to stuff the dry slices of bread into his mouth in two or three bites, his choked eyes widened, and he patted his chest to catch his breath for a while.

Wiping the bread crumbs from the corner of her mouth, Circe put on her small satchel and trotted out the door, not forgetting to greet Cassandra.The golden retriever walked unhurriedly and followed her hurried master.

Seeing the little girl gradually approaching briskly, Darcy only felt that his already happy mood was getting higher and higher.When the little girl came to the front, Darcy reached out to help her into the car, took off his hat and saluted the Lucas family, and then got into the car.

He was somewhat sorry that he had not left a more comfortable carriage at Netherfield, so that his little girl had to sit on the hard seat.In the past, this carriage was only used by him, so it was naturally convenient. As for the issue of comfort, he didn't care about these issues at all.

But now Darcy began to seriously think about whether to renovate the carriage at home.His little girl looks tender and raw, how can she suffer like this?

Before Darcy got into the car, An Jing cast a soft magic on the seat, facing Darcy's slightly apologetic eyes, showing a dazed look.
