[Pride and Prejudice] Stupid life in the 18th century

The outstanding appearance of the Bennett daughter is considered excellent even among young ladies in London society.What's more, in such a day, the two beauties naturally attracted the attention of many gentlemen when they stepped out of the dance hall.From time to time, people were talking about whose lady it was. When they found out that it was the lady of the Bennett family, a big entrepreneur in Manchester, those middle-class young men and speculators were all excited. This is really a perfect fusion of beauty and wealth.

But they didn't have the chance to be introduced to the two young ladies. How could Mr. Jin, as the chief ceremonial officer, allow these messy people a chance to abduct the daughter of a good family?Mr. King was a gentleman who couldn't care less about position, and he was himself a member of the Bath Council.

It was a young gentleman named Darcy who Mr. King introduced to the two ladies for the second time, along with his sister Georgiana Darcy.Their father, Mr. Darcy old, looked very friendly, but he was not in good health.Old Mr. Darcy looked at the two ladies with admiration. Among the young ladies in the room, they had the best posture and etiquette. It is conceivable that they must have received a good education.

"Miss Bennets, let me introduce these gentlemen and this lady who are masters of Pemberley Park. Mr. Darcy."

Elizabeth's eyes widened in surprise. Old Darcy obviously had a crush on this interesting girl, and made a perfect gentleman's salute.Darcy naturally kissed the young Miss Jane and invited Jane to dance with him out of politeness.

Georgiana is smiling and standing beside her father. She is just 14 years old and has not been in the social circle for a long time.But because she is petite and cute, she still has a childlike look on her body.

Although Elizabeth was surprised that her official spouse, Mr. Darcy, invited Jane to dance, after the initial surprise passed, good breeding still showed in her, and she talked with Georgiana naturally and gently.

"Miss Darcy, how long have you been in Bath? Blaize Castle on the outskirts of here is the most famous, and I haven't had a chance to go there yet."

"We have been here for more than a week. It is much more fun than London. My father and brother can accompany me, and I won't be too busy to see people. Is Blaize Castle so famous? Then I want to see it too , maybe we can go together."

"That's really great. After Dad came to Bath, he often chatted with those gentlemen during the day. We are afraid to go out of the city."

"Who says it's not!" Georgiana showed a sympathetic look, and walked towards the tea room with Elizabeth on her arm.

As an elder, old Mr. Darcy had always been with the two young ladies, and now seeing them go to the refreshment room, he felt relieved to chat with old friends.

"Originally, my brother had just graduated from university, so I thought he could accompany me well, but now he comes in and out with my father. Fortunately, this time we came to Bath for vacation. Speaking of your surname, it reminds me of London. There is a lady surnamed Bennett there too. Although I don’t live in London often, I’ve been there too, but unfortunately I’ve never met them. The embroidery patterns and clothing patterns they draw are really beautiful. Compared with these The aesthetics of only putting feathers on the head is much more advanced, Mr. Jin said that you live in Manchester, what is it like there?"

Elizabeth was a little stunned by Georgiana's liveliness and topic change, but fortunately she didn't show it on her face. "Father's factory is in Manchester City, and we will occasionally be in Stratford Town, Manchester City..."

"Strafford! I know it's Shakespeare's hometown! What's the view there? Oh, I should like to see it, and the house where Shakespeare lived."

"Do you like Shakespeare, too?"

"Hey, who else doesn't like this great literati? I really wish I could write such beautiful words myself."

"It's a pity that Mary of our family is not here, otherwise you can definitely become good friends. But after all, novels are novels, and the difference between reality and fiction is very big. At least those loves that are deeply unrepentant and dependent on life and death do not exist. Yes." Looking at this romantic Miss Darcy, Elizabeth thought that the child might be almost abducted and eloped by Mrs. Wickham soon.What a damage to reputation that is.

"Why wouldn't it exist? Maybe it happened somewhere and we don't know? Otherwise, how would such a novel survive."

"..." Elizabeth was speechless at this young lady's girlish feelings. Perhaps it was because she started this life with a vague memory that she was destined to not be able to live as simple as these girls. "Miss Darcy, the weight of love and family affection is equal. I even think that if you really love someone, you must love the family she loves."

"Oh! Miss Elizabeth, please allow me to call you Elizabeth, I didn't expect you to be like me! No, you are more romantic than me!" Georgiana smiled happily.

Who, is the same as you, a silly girl who was almost kidnapped and eloped?Elizabeth complained silently in her heart.

On the other side, Jane also felt uncomfortable dancing with this little Mr. Darcy with a stiff facial expression, but she still maintained her usual ladylike style and perfect posture.

"Miss Bennet, how long have you been in Bath?"

Isn't this really nothing to say?Jane smiled gracefully, showing no sign of her confusion. "Just arrived, not long ago. I really didn't expect it to be so lively here."

"Bath is a bit noisy as a tourist resort. Have you ever been to the theater?"

"I've been to the theater in London twice, but I haven't been to the theater here yet."

"Have you ever been to a concert?"

"I've never been to a concert."

"Miss Bennet, there is a concert in Bath the day after tomorrow. May I have the honor to invite you?"

Looking at the indifferent face of little Mr. Darcy, is this really an invitation?Jane felt really weird. "If my sister Elizabeth wants to go, maybe our family will go."

"The orchestra this time is very good. It is good at German romantic works. It would be great if I could have the honor to meet Miss Bennett."

"hehe"

At the end of a dance, Jane looked for the side of the dance floor but did not see Elizabeth, but Mr. Darcy was still standing beside her with that flat face.

"Georgiana's gone too, maybe they're together."

Does this mean that he wants to follow her?Jane pulled out a smile, but felt annoyed at the helplessness in her heart. "Then let's find them together."

"Okay, on such an occasion, the two girls don't have elders or gentlemen around them, so it's not safe."

"..."

Jane had to walk around the party hall on the arm of the little Mr. Darcy. First, she walked around the dance floor, and then went to the chess and card room. There were many gentlemen and wives there. To be with Mr and Mrs Allen and old Mr Darcy was to play cards.

Hearing that the two were looking for their sister, old Mr. Darcy took a sip of his cigar with a smile, and attracted them a lot. "I saw that the two of them had a good conversation before. They should have gone to the refreshment room. Why don't you go and look for it, and have some snacks to replenish your strength? Don't let this wonderful dance down."

"Then let's go and have a look." "Dad, are you playing cards here? I'll find Georgiana and bring her over later."

"Go, don't worry, you two play slowly! Miss Bennett can't neglect our silly boy, and I haven't seen a few outstanding ladies like the Bennett family during the long dance." The Allen couple looked at The little Mr. Darcy in front of him estimated that his son must have been cut off by him.

"Mrs. Allen, you praise the two of them too much. The two boys in your family are truly outstanding." Mrs. Bennet smiled.

Seeing that these elders were going to talk far away, Jane hurriedly bowed and walked towards the refreshment room with little Darcy.Sure enough, they found the two ladies, as well as Andy, the eldest son of the Allen family.This guy wandered around the dance hall and invited several ladies who had been introduced, and finally found him, and now he is trying to persuade Elizabeth to dance with him.

Apparently Andy Allen, like little Darcy, noticed that in this flashy, relaxed, and even somewhat indulgent ball, only the two ladies of the Bennett family maintained the perfect manners and restraint of the upper class. Rare virtue.As for the petite Georgiana, she can only be regarded as a child!Whether it's her own brother Darcy Jr. or the 24-year-old Andy Allen.
