A letter arrived from Netherfield the next day.The letter was named and addressed to Circe, and I wondered whose hand it was from.

The letter is not very long, and most of the paper is over.In the letter, Mr. Darcy stated that he had no prejudice against Circe's magical identity, and hoped Circe would not misunderstand his intentions.What he said was diligent and earnest, which was more touching than his marriage proposal yesterday.

Circe's anger subsided a little, but that didn't mean she forgave him.Although I was the one who had the cheek to take the initiative to establish a friendship, but it is only natural that I would be unhappy when I was asked such a request.With a curl of her lips, Circe returned to her room holding the letter.

Mrs. Lucas looked at her youngest daughter's back, feeling relieved or worried for a moment.She is really not optimistic about Mr. Darcy marrying his own daughter, but seeing the little girl crying so badly yesterday, she is very soft-hearted.Sighing, Mrs. Lucas rubbed her forehead in distress.She never thought that such emotional problems would befall her dull young daughter.

Circe accepted the letter, but made no attempt to answer it.She is a very determined person, and once she makes a decision, she will fundamentally change it.Just like sister Charlotte's marriage, since she promised not to do anything, she will never do anything unnecessary.It is the same now.She put Mr. Darcy out of her friend list, so she simply stopped contacting him.To alienate is to cut off possibility at the root.

Lest she get along too much and become soft-hearted.After all, she was the first ordinary person friend who she voluntarily disclosed her identity.Just thinking about it is depressing.

Circe's depression was obvious to the whole family—her ability to conceal her emotions was really not very good, but no one took the initiative to point it out.At this point, the mood of the whole family is the same.Since Circe was willing to let it go, they didn't have to expose it and bother her for nothing.

Time passed quickly, and it was March in a blink of an eye.In the past two months, Circe ran back and forth between London and her family as usual, living a life as she used to, very comfortable.She confided a little to Williams, but said nothing about the proposal.It is only said that Mr. Darcy is unwilling to accept her identity as a witch, and the relationship between the two becomes deadlocked.

March was the proper day which Charlotte had previously fixed with Mr. Collins.The wedding was simpler than Circe had thought, and seemed to take little effort.In a blink of an eye, Charlotte got married.

Mr. Collins, being a clergyman, and esteeming his benefactor, Mrs. de Bourgh, above all else, was married at Hunsford, of course.They swore their vows in church, Charlotte wearing a floor-sweeping white wedding dress.Her smile looked cheerful, which reassured Circe a lot—her sister did seem to be as happy with her wedding as she said.

Since this era, the Circe Church has seen a lot.Although those archbishops who received the baptism of light can recognize Circe's identity as a witch, there are too few such archbishops, and it is already a great thing to see one in the cathedral.So let's not talk about these little churches.Especially in the county-owned churches where Mr. Collins is pastor.

After getting married, Charlotte will of course stay in Hansford. The family will go home after staying for a few days during the wedding, so as to give the new couple time to get along and take care of the new home. .

When Circe was able to visit her sister again at Hunsford, it was with Elizabeth.This was decided early in the morning. Of course, she would ask her sister and friends to come and see her new home.

Although Elizabeth still can't understand Charlotte's choice, and always feels that she is no longer as close as before, she still treats Circe as before.

Sir Lucas arranged for a more spacious carriage.They planned to stay one night in London before leaving for Hansford.This arrangement is very appropriate, so that people will not feel that the journey is too long and boring.

While in London they met Elizabeth's aunt and uncle, the Gardners.Mr. Gardner was in business in London, and the couple were shrewd men. Mr. Gardner was very different from his stupid sister.Elizabeth also made an appointment with them for future travel.

Elizabeth warmly invites Circe to go with her.Her mother, Mrs. Bennet, has been reluctant to forgive her since Mr. Collins actually married Charlotte.Moaning all day long, accusing her of not knowing how to grasp the opportunity, now it is cheaper to say goodbye to the old girl Charlotte, and she is still worrying all day long, always thinking that Charlotte will drive their Bennet family out of the house.Elizabeth was very bored, and this trip was all about going out and relaxing.

Their itinerary was very relaxed, and they even seemed to be taking one step at a time. In addition, Elizabeth was always good at persuading others. Circe was moved by what she said after a while, and nodded in agreement.

"A wise decision." Elizabeth commented with satisfaction, and hugged Circe to her side.

When the carriage turned off the high road and came up a lane that led to Hunsford, every eye was in search of the vicarage; at every turn, it was expected to see the house.

Soon, the house was within sight.The garden diagonally across the main road is well-maintained, and the house hidden in the garden looks very nice.Some sort of parasitic plant crawled over the fence, a pleasant green color.The fence is made of laurel.

Mr. Collins and Charlotte came to meet them at the door.The carriage stopped at a small gate, and from here a short cobbled path led directly to the main house.

When Charlotte saw her sister and her friends, she was so happy that she took her sister's arm with a smile on her face.Mr. Collins is still the same, nothing has changed. He is still rigid about etiquette. He lingers at the door for several minutes. He is not satisfied until he has greeted all of Elizabeth's family and confirmed that everything is safe. Let people into the house.

He looked very proud, pointed to the door to show them how neat it was, and boasted of the beautiful structure, style, and furnishings of the house, in short, all the places he could find to boast about.He couldn't stop talking about welcome, and repeatedly offered the guests the snacks brought by his wife.

His air and all his words were ostentatious, and sometimes he exaggerated so much that he said something inappropriate.Charlotte will cleverly pretend not to hear.Since most of the things in this room were dressed up by Charlotte, Circe did not find him too annoying when she heard her brother-in-law spare no effort to praise him.

Then Mr. Collins invited them to take a walk in the garden, so that he could boast of the garden from the inside out.The way he introduced the garden was also different from ordinary people.He can count how many manors there are in each direction, how many kinds of flowers and plants are in the garden, how many rocks and rockeries are used, and he can even tell how many trees are in the farthest bush.

He spoke so fast and so densely that no one could get in a word and had to listen to him chattering alone.Then he concluded that although the scenery in his own garden was good, even the whole country, or the scenic spots and historical sites in the country, could not compare with the scenery of Rosings Manor.

Rosings Hall was almost directly opposite his house, which showed the delight of Mrs. de Bower whom he did coax.

At supper time, Elizabeth, having already found out that Mrs. de Bourgh was still in the country, began to speak of the matter.Mr. Collins immediately praised his benefactor from beginning to end, and said that if Mrs. de Bourgh would do her honor to invite them, it would always be necessary to invite Elizabeth and his sister-in-law Circe.Then you will be honored to be watched by the old lady.

I don't know if it was because of this meal that I was paralyzed. At noon the next day, a carriage from Rosings Manor actually stopped at the door.

There were two female guests, an old lady and a young lady.The old lady was the wife who lived with Mrs. de Bourgh, and the young lady was none other than Mademoiselle de Bourgh.This young lady was born really thin, she looked like she was in very bad health, as if a gust of wind could easily blow her down.

She did not come in, so Charlotte had to stand outside the door.This made Circe very unhappy, after all, the wind outside was not too small.Such an impolite lady would not have made much of Mrs. de Bourgh.Circe thought to herself, even her impression of the old lady was a little off.

These two ladies came here for no other purpose than to invite them all to dine at Rosings Manor tomorrow.

Mr. Collins was very proud of such a thing.He wanted all these guests to visit his benefactor and see for himself how polite and considerate this old lady was to them and his wife.And he could get his wish so quickly, I don't know how grateful he is.

Since he was so proud, he naturally wanted to say it: "I wouldn't be surprised that she invited us to have some tea on Sunday and spend the afternoon. But who would have thought that she would be so affectionate when you just arrived Here, invite you to eat over there?"

Circe never liked his tone, not to mention Elizabeth, and only Sir Lucas could say something at this time.

So throughout the whole day, and even the next morning, the only topic left was the matter of going to Rosings Manor.Mr. Collins explained everything in detail, as if he had transformed himself into some kind of Rosings steward.

He was afraid that when they arrived at Rosings, they would be surprised by the magnificent house, the many servants or the sumptuous dishes, and they would be in a hurry.They actually described all the things they were about to see in detail one by one.

He even had a hand in what kind of skirts the ladies wanted to wear.And before getting ready to set off, he went to each door to urge them two or three times, urging them to hurry up, because Mrs. de Bourgh hated being late when inviting people to dinner.

Circe wanted to shut him up so that she could have a moment of peace.
