[Pride and Prejudice] Rich Lady

"Brother, what are you looking at?" Georgiana asked.

Her handsome brother seemed to be a quiet gentleman, very stingy with words.He shook his head, motioning for his little sister to continue tasting delicious food.

Miss Darcy, who has just turned 12, has not been taught strictly by a private girls' school, and she always has some lively childishness in her body, but she is naturally shy and only shows this side in front of familiar people.

Georgiana followed her brother's gaze and looked around curiously, as cute as a plump robin.

Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy was 12 years older than his little sister, and he was respected and adored by the little girl as a father, and he didn't stop the little sister's actions at the moment, only letting her please.

Mrs. Younger wanted to say something in order to show her decency and prestige as the lady's housekeeper, but under the glance of the head of the family, she had no choice but to swallow back those preaching nagging words embarrassingly.

'I'm really a little afraid of this gentleman. Mrs. Young thought to herself, "Mr. Darcy has been so cold since he was a child. Although he is beautiful, he is far less lovable than the old housekeeper's son. '

Mrs. Younger thought of the pleasing young man, and walked away for a while: "If Mr. Darcy is willing to recommend him to replace the pastor, and get the good salary with a good salary, the gentle and charming Wickham is really an excellent son-in-law Candidates! '

——Mrs. Young was coaxed by others and did immoral things when she was young. She had an illegitimate daughter who was fostered by relatives in the country.This is a secret that Mrs. Young has carefully concealed until now, but that girl is her only flesh and blood. She will soon be 16 years old, blooming like a white rose, and Mrs. Young has no choice but to start planning for her daughter.

On the death of the old master of the Darcys, George Wickham received not only an inheritance of a thousand pounds, but also a further compensation of three thousand pounds from Mr. Darcy, on condition that he renounce the priesthood of Pemberley.Mrs. Young was attracted by the property of [-] pounds. The pastor who happened to take over the priest passed away some time ago. He recalled his old relationship with the Darcy family and asked Mr. Darcy to recommend him to fill the vacancy.

"It's a pity that Mr. Darcy refused poor Wickham's first request," sighed Mrs. Young, determined to write to Wickham again. The old gentleman was so fond of Wickham, so kind.Mr. Darcy will not be hard-hearted to the end, he will not forget his father's kindness, and if George asks a few more times, he will surely grant it. '

' After all, he has no one else to recommend. ' Mrs. Young was thinking.

Georgiana was delighted to see some acquaintances sitting in that direction, whom she had met at least once.

"Oh, it's them!" she murmured to herself.

Mrs. Younger was interrupted, and she was a little unhappy. She said caringly, "Dear miss, do you want to try the steak tartare?" But there was a hidden pickiness in her eyes, and she compared her daughter with this cowardly and ordinary lady in her heart. , became more and more unfair: my Gemma far surpasses Georgiana in appearance, manners and character, but lacks God's favor in status and property, how unfair it is...

Georgiana shook her head. She hurriedly told her brother, "Just now in Miss Phoebe's store, we met some girls over the window. They have very interesting talks, all of them are witty and elegant. I really want to get to know them."

The neglected Mrs. Young became more and more dissatisfied, and couldn't help saying: "Oh, my dear lady, you don't understand the complexity of people's hearts, how can you arbitrarily recognize them as well-educated and good girls? Let me say, good girls Don't mess around with the rules in shops and restaurants!"

Mr. Darcy glanced at Mrs. Younger's sincerity, and only encouraged the little sister to say: "If you want to, we can inquire about it. The society in London is both wide and narrow, and the ladies who go to the ball and dinner will soon find out. Get acquainted—I think Bingley's sorority would love to invite decent young ladies to their tea-parties." Georgiana was not yet of social age, and acquainted with a few young ladies at a friend's house was no hindrance.

Georgiana was very happy at first, and then flinched a little: "Forget it." Mr. Bingley's family has been having a lot of turmoil recently. First, Louisa and her husband, Mr. Hurst, had a quarrel, and the couple ignored each other. ; Then a decent and wealthy gentleman that Caroline met at the ball abandoned her and turned to the arms of a down-and-out aristocratic lady, who seemed to be about to propose marriage. Lost face, so depressed.

What made Georgiana even more displeased was that the two Bingley sisters, although very kind and considerate, always tried to tease her to talk more with Mr. Bingley.Georgiana only regards Mr. Bingley as her brother's friend, respectful and friendly, and has no other meaning.What's more, she herself is still too young to think about these things.

Seeing that the two brothers and sisters ignored her, Mrs. Young was very angry. She thought it was necessary to perform her duties as the lady's housekeeper to persuade the master. She immediately said to Mr. Darcy: "You dote on Miss too much, it's not good. My It means that the young lady should be taught to think and not to draw conclusions based on just a few words."

Mr. Darcy exclaimed, "That's right!"

"Then Mrs. Young, how did you decide that those well-behaved ladies are bad people?"

"Is it written on their faces?" Mr. Darcy said lightly.

He felt it was time to send Georgiana to a girls' school, where Mrs. Young, the housekeeper, was caring but narrow-minded and ignorant.She also had trouble with several governesses, causing Georgiana to change governess frequently.

Mrs. Young's face turned pale, but she dared not refute because of Mr. Darcy's majesty, so she had to shut up unhappy.

Mr. Darcy had already recognized one of the girls, the one who led her companions out of danger at Christmas with a petticoat.

When I saw her last time, this young lady still had the audacity of a free-range family. In less than two months, her demeanor and demeanor seemed to have been specially taken care of by God, and she became elegant and calm.No one knows that Mr. Darcy has a serious face on the surface, but in his heart he secretly observes Miss Pindu's rules.

Perhaps Taurus College could also be listed as an option.Perhaps, Mr. Darcy thought, Georgiana liked it better than any other private girls' school.

Elizabeth had already noticed the frequent glances from the same direction, not only her, but also Laura.

The seats of the two of them were diagonally opposite to that side, but Lily and Daisy were unaware of this because their backs were facing each other.

Elizabeth looked straight over, glanced at Mrs. Younger, took a closer look at Georgiana, and stopped on the gentleman: she always felt that half of the profile was familiar.

Even the shy lady she met earlier gave her a feeling of deja vu, obviously she had never seen her before.

"Oh, look what I found, a tall and beautiful gentleman?" Laura approached her friend and teased.

"He charmed you?" Lola asked with a small chuckle. "Be brave, Lizzie! We could run into them on our way out! What a romantic encounter, maybe I can witness the beginning of love?"

Elizabeth glanced at her friend angrily, "I just think it looks familiar."

"Dear Lizzie, eyes are often the bridge of love!" Laura became more interested and joked with her friend, "I just felt a bunch of hot and hot eyes, it must be that gentleman also likes you, I Beautiful friend!"

"'The flame of love, the more you contain it, the more it burns!'" Laura had an elegant posture, but she pretended to chant Shakespeare's verses in her mouth.

Before attracting the attention of the other young ladies, Elizabeth hurriedly put her hands together and begged her for mercy, so as not to attract everyone to make fun of her.

At this moment, the two young ladies looked over from the corner of their eyes when they noticed the other side, and they turned their heads to look back at the same time, and they were looking at Mrs. Young's hateful and vicious eyes...

"Is this the fiery, burning gaze you mentioned?" Elizabeth looked at her friend slowly.

Her friend was baffled. "We didn't offend her, did we? I don't think there was an encounter at Miss Phoebe's before?"

"That's right! If we don't have any memory, that's the case." Elizabeth said, looking straight at that gaze without avoiding it.

One was full of anger, jealousy and malice, and the other was calm and calm. Mrs. Young was finally defeated and looked away in embarrassment.

She was terribly embarrassed that a woman who had thought herself majestic all her life should be frightened by the eyes of a young girl who might be her daughter.It was hard for Mrs. Young to accept that her usual tricks with governesses and maids were of no use at all.

"Well, don't worry about it," Elizabeth said to her friend.

Laura was a little annoyed. In fact, anyone would be annoyed if they were treated maliciously for no reason. Her words were harsh: "It was probably because the look from her master earlier made the housekeeper's wife dissatisfied. I'm afraid this is a 'Lady Macbeth' type." character, delusion to control everything—is she treating the master as her own?"

Laura has seen such people. Some housekeepers have served the young master since childhood, especially in families without the old master's control. is a private property.They issue orders in the house, and in the name of persuasion, make the master obey them.Although such people are rare, they are not rare in England, where housekeepers are extremely common and highly relied on.It's just that this kind of person's fate is probably like Lady Macbeth's, blindfolded by ambition and power, and ultimately blamed herself.

This unpleasant little episode was quickly forgotten by the girls, and even Elizabeth put aside the doubts on the half handsome side face.The ladies began to discuss the afternoon's itinerary.

They need to allow enough time to return to Taurice and change into appropriate clothing and accessories before the dinner to show Mrs. Judith and other new students the harvest.This is a major event related to whether he can get permission to leave school on the following Sunday.

On this day, Elizabeth benefited a lot. She felt the strong commercial atmosphere in London, faintly noticed the flow of money, and heard the sound of the pound.This is extremely beautiful, she needs to think carefully, find paths and breakthroughs, and start to make plans for the future.
