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

When Elizabeth saw the sick Mary, her condition was very serious. Not only was she in poor health, but Mary's mental state was also very bad.It turned out that the love story she wrote was rejected for publication, and she was walking back to school in the heavy rain in a trance when she received the rejection letter from the newspaper that day.Mary's self-confidence was almost gone, and she was depressed by illness and low self-esteem.

Catherine also contracted typhoid fever because she shared a room with her, but fortunately she was not serious, thanks to her care for Mary along the way.

"Mary, you're only 14 years old, and you can't write romance novels. Isn't it normal? Everyone has his or her strengths and weaknesses. You're just not good at writing male and female jjj now." Elizabeth has read I have read Mary's novels, which are too raw and immature. It can be said that such novels are not a big deal in women's magazines.If it is published in the bulletin, the audience is too large, and it is indeed impossible to accept such a childish work.How can I write about this feeling if I have not experienced the anticipation, anxiety, joy and sadness in love?

"Liz, I'm just sad, I really tried to write."

Jane came out of Catherine's room and went to Mary's room.Elizabeth is changing Mary's wet towel. "Dear Mary, now is the time for you to take a good rest. You really don't have to think too much about it. Although I don't like reading novels very much, I think that as long as you get better as soon as possible, you will definitely feel better after going to a few dances. "

"Jane is right. You can only feel this kind of emotional interaction if you participate in a formal dance instead of school dance learning. After all, aren't you already able to participate in social activities? What else is there to worry about? "

"Jane, Liz, I'm afraid I won't have the courage to write anymore."

"Then you are really not like you. You have always worked hard to learn all kinds of talents, including your crappy singing, and you have always been full of confidence. I have never seen you so depressed. You are still like this in singing and painting Self-confidence, not to mention writing that you love very much?"

Miss Mary immediately lost her composure, and the blush caused by the high fever showed her anger even more!She sat up from the bed, tore off the towel on her forehead, and screamed loudly. "Crap! You say my singing is crappy! Elizabeth, have you ever thought of me like that?"

"Oh! If you want to rap and sing, isn't it you who are the worst? You basically didn't hit a pitch right?" Elizabeth said seriously, but it seemed that the previous focus didn't seem to be this.

Mary was about to burst into tears. She held Jane's hand with an angry expression on her face. "Jane! Look, Liz has been bullying me all the time, even when I'm sick! Oh! God, she actually said I'm tone deaf!"

Seeing the sick Mary look so lively, Jane also didn't know what to say, should she go along with Elizabeth's words? "Oh! Liz, you shouldn't be saying this at this hour! Mary's still sick!"

"Honey, Mary should always know what she is good at and what she is not good at. I don't want her to compete for the limelight when she goes to the ball!"

Seeing the sincerity on Elizabeth's face, Mary cried out angrily! "Oh! God, how can I have a sister like you?"

"Mary, you should be lucky to have a sister like me, so don't give up writing, your writing is the best among us, even in the ladies' salon. Your work is still published in the bulletin! How amazing! How can you give up on yourself because you can't write a romance novel because of your inexperience!"

"Liz, no matter what good things you say, I'm still very angry!" Mary's voice was no longer so high-pitched, and she pulled the quilt back angrily, and put the wet towel back on her forehead. "When I get better, I will torture you with your most annoying singing voice!"

"Honey, you'd better not do that! I'm not the only one suffering!" Elizabeth was very happy to see Mary recovering, so she happily continued to bully her.

Mary was very angry. She cried a bit just now, screamed and sweated all over.She was still staring at Liz angrily, she never knew that her singing was so unbearable. "Liz, you are so bad! You are so bad!"

No one knows what her own voice sounds like to others unless she records it with a tape recorder, which is completely impossible in this early age of steam.Mary, a self-respecting child, was not a little stimulated this time.Of course, she still secretly thought that this must not be true, Liz just wanted to annoy her, and it was good for her to listen to her own singing.

Seeing Mary falling asleep in exhaustion, Jane and Elizabeth came out of her room.Jane held Elizabeth's hand, and didn't know what to say for a moment, but murmured. "Why are you talking about this at this hour! Look at Mary."

"Yeah, now she won't look so sad and hurt herself, what a big deal! Look at her spirits now! Haha, I really hope Mary can get better soon!" Elizabeth was in a good mood , It feels so good to bully people!

"Mary will surely miss you for a long time."

"Jane, you have to testify that I am full of love for her!"

"There is no such a powerful mouth like yours, and the friendship of bullying people."

"hey-hey."

Young girls have a strong ability to recover, especially the ladies of the Bennett family who are keen on horseback riding.It is reasonable to say that the one who rides the worst horse is Elizabeth. The more ignorant you are, the more daring you are.The two girls, who were in good health, fully recovered after a month. Catherine was sent back to school, and Mary decided to end her regular studies early and stay at home.

After being stimulated by Elizabeth, Mary has been entangled all the time. After she recovers, she still chases after Jane and asks: "Jane, do you think I'm tone deaf too?"

The kind Jane is naturally the most entangled at this time, and hesitates every time. "Hey, it's fine if you like it, happiness is the most important thing, music, painting and writing are all for our pleasure."

"..." For a person who is good at and loves to write, her observation skills are naturally good, but Mary kept asking Jane again and again, but she didn't know what she wanted to prove in her heart. Woolen cloth.

"Oh! Jane and Mary are going to the ball on Friday, you better tell the truth, otherwise our lovely Miss Mary will scare away the suitors!" Elizabeth stood beside her like a villain. Speaking sarcastic remarks, he waved his folding fan with a cheerful expression, covering half of his face.Although the grinning mouth was covered, the arrogant laughter couldn't be covered.

"Liz! You're the worst! I didn't ask you!"

"Dear Mary, my sister loves you so much!"

"Okay, Liz, don't tease her. Mary, your manners, speech and dance in school are good. You really don't need to do more publicity. It's better for a lady to keep a low profile as much as possible."

After Jane finished speaking softly, Mary turned around angrily, and she went upstairs angrily again.Mrs. Bennett, who was in another room on the floor, opened the door and scolded loudly: "My dear girls, where are the etiquette you learned in school! The footsteps going upstairs are as heavy as a cow! Can't you be a little lighter!"

Elizabeth was even more overjoyed, "Oh! Mom, Mary's body is just right, she should be a little heavy!" Jane stood beside her with a helpless expression on her face.

The reward for Elizabeth's words was Miss Mary's high-pitched singing from the next morning.This frightened the whole family, including Andrew's big dog in the yard, and the big guy barked even more in the yard.On this day, everyone woke up immediately, without any confusion like in the morning.

At the dinner table, Mr. Bennet frowned. He looked at his daughters. "Girls, I'm glad to see Mary coming back from school and you're more attached, but there's no need for the morning singing."

Although Mary was a little angry with Elizabeth, she had no choice but to swallow it after her father spoke like this.But when she saw Elizabeth in her pajamas and nightcap angrily coming to her.Mary felt a little relieved in her heart. "Okay, Dad!"

Although Mary is still annoyed by the truth of the two sisters, it turns out that her singing is not appreciated by everyone.But on Thursday night, when she received the beautiful gauze dresses prepared by her sisters, she was still moved.Mary decided to put this little conflict aside for the time being, and she would have another attack in the future. She just discovered that her voice is a big killer to her family!

This polka-dot gauze skirt is very suitable for Mary's age, and it looks a little playful.This was the first time for Mary Bennett to attend a formal ball. Jane and Elizabeth prepared dinner early, and then drove Mary upstairs.

One helped her curl her hair, and the other helped her match the headgear.Elizabeth trimmed Mary's thick eyebrows into a delicate shape, and applied a nectar-like light pink rose ointment on her slightly dull lips. Others did not require much modification. Mary's fair skin did not need powder, and her double The cheeks are healthy and rosy.

Mary looked at herself in the mirror almost unrecognizably, and Elizabeth smiled and lifted her chin slightly. "Baby Mary, you just need to smile slightly and speak softly at the ball, and you can charm a lot of people!"

Jane was also smiling happily beside her. "Mary, you have to learn how to dress yourself. The noble ladies in the salon are talking about getting a copy. Then you have to try to get a few more copies. You and the people from the women's magazine are the best friends."

"Yes, yes, there are no ugly women, only lazy ones!"

Mary immediately tensed up. "Liz, you are talking sarcastic again, how ugly am I!"

"Not ugly, Mary, look at your mother, look at your sisters, and you will know that no matter how ugly you are, you will not be ugly!" Elizabeth smiled and put her arms around Mary's shoulders.

Mary became arrogant now, pouted and pushed Elizabeth's arm. "Okay, Liz, you and Mary, hurry up and get dressed and change your dresses."

"Mary, you don't have to worry about us. This is your first dance, and you are the only pearl in the Bennett family today." Jane smiled softly and leaned over to kiss Mary's cheek.

After the two sisters left, Mary sat in front of the vanity mirror, looking at herself in the mirror, excited and nervous.She suddenly felt that if she was like this, she would no longer be Miss Wallflower if she was with the girls at school.
