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

Half a month later, the Bennett family received the college student in London.

Immanuel Kant had a handsome, marked face, which was common in Prussia.When we met him for the first time, he was wearing half-worn clean clothes. His eyes were deep and full of wisdom. Because of his young age, he still looked like a young man.Although it is not a smiling face to welcome people, the facial lines are still soft.

The ladies of the Bennet family could not talk to this gentleman at all, they just came to see it as a surprise.What I look forward to most is Mary who loves literature and philosophy. However, this gentleman's eyes really didn't linger on any of the opposite sex, and he didn't even make eye contact with them during the initial ceremony.

In addition to the Bennett family, Mr. Gardinal and his eldest son Allen (Allen) are also there. Qihua of Mr. Chen's family has entered public school.During this period of time, Alan and Andrew often went to Chinese restaurants to bother them, not to mention stealing food, and Mr. Chen's knowledge is also good.

These two people naturally came for Alan's study, and expressed no objection to the addition of one more student, Kant.Kant had more objections on whether he could only live in the town of Stratford in Manchester. The Prussian language has never changed, which is why so many thinkers and philosophers were born.What's more, this Kant still has a scholarly temper, and it is naturally Mr. Bennett who compromises.

The two brothers of the Alan family didn't come to visit the Bennett family's residence in London until they had spent the winter in Bath after they learned of Kant's arrival, but they missed it.But it was the Bennetts' house that they really wanted to take the opportunity to visit, and in any case the end goal was achieved.They met three pretty Miss Bennetts.

Mary and Jane prepared afternoon tea for them, and Mrs. Bennet sat beside them.Even so, the two gentlemen were also very excited. After asking Kant at the beginning and knowing that the college student was not in London, they naturally changed the topic and had a very pleasant conversation without any regrets.

"Are the Miss Bennetts also at the London ball?"

"If we happen to be in London when the Duke of Chandos and the Earl of Portsmouth are giving a ball, we shall go."

"In this way, we should have known each other in London!" Andy said happily, looking at Elizabeth with a pair of green eyes. "However, although we did not meet in London, we met in Bath."

Elizabeth smiled slightly and didn't answer, but Henry did. "If we hadn't gone on a study tour, we would have danced in London long ago! Will you go to the dance at the Earl of Portsmouth's house next Friday night?" Henry clearly knew the interaction between Beauty Jane and the eldest son of the Earl of Portsmouth, The marriage of the eldest son of a nobleman has always been relatively strict, but now he doesn't need to get involved.What's more, there is this lovely Miss Mary in the Bennett family. Although Miss Jane is as delicate and beautiful as a rose, the lovely and delicate Miss Mary like a daisy is also very attractive to him.

Mary's eyes moved when she heard that there was another ball, a grand ball in London. "simple."

Jane patted the back of Mary's hand lightly, with a natural smile on her face. "We will definitely not miss this ball. You have also seen our sister. She has not shown her face in London's social circle."

Henry listened, and paid more attention to Mary, since no one came to snatch her before she showed up.

Elizabeth looked at the expressions of these two gentlemen, but was a little surprised. Is it necessary to stare at the girls in their family?Are there no other ladies? "The Earl of Portsmouth's family just came back from Bath not long ago? It seems that they are really keen on the ball."

"Who doesn't like the excitement of a ball? Ladies love to dance, and gentlemen naturally adore ladies."

Andy's words were too straightforward, and even Elizabeth could see Mrs. Bennet's excitement.

Mrs. Bennett was not happy and excited. After Caesar left, Alan came. Sure enough, Mr. Bennett has some wisdom and insights, and there will always be another gentleman to make up for the regret.

In fact, it was the status and wealth of the Allen family and the Bennett family that made these two gentlemen make up their minds.This is especially important for Henry who has no inheritance rights. It's not that he is too sophisticated, but there are not many such suitable women.

Although he is not an aristocrat, the wealth he can get in the future is completely incomparable to Andy, not to mention that he has rarely received the same emphasis on education as the eldest son.To put it more realistically, the idea of ​​marriage at this time is that love comes first, but people living in the mundane world know that love without bread and milk cannot be maintained.As a result, their love was limited by various reasons, and a large number of nobles postponed their plans to get married, just to find the person who coexisted with love and wealth.

Henry followed Andy's words and immediately confessed. "I should very much like to have the honor of being Miss Mary's partner."

Being so noticed by the young and handsome man, the relatively tender little girl Mary immediately blushed, and shyly averted her gaze from the speaker.

Mrs. Bennet next to her was very happy at this moment, and immediately became active. Of course, she was not out of line. She just took advantage of the two gentlemen's interest and suggested. "The prom is just for you young people, but you and Mr. Kant should be more familiar, why don't you go to Manchester with us to meet friends after the prom?"

"Mrs. Bennett, thank you for your invitation. Although we are indeed going to do some business after returning from the study tour, we still have to pay a visit out of courtesy because it is Mr. Kant." Andy immediately agreed happily After all, the intentions of the two sons and Mrs. Bennett hit it off.

"Speaking of which, I have to thank you two. Mr. Bennett is too busy every day, and we really lack escorts when we go to Manchester."

"It was an honor to escort Mrs and Miss Bennett."

Although the Earl of Portsmouth's family invited the Bennetts, Portsmouth Jr. did not come to visit, because he already knew from Brother Allen that Kant had gone to Manchester City, so he naturally had no excuses.After all, the two women's family members are very familiar with each other in the lady's salon, but the difference in family status lies there, and the contacts are not considered close.

While picking up his sister, he met Jane Bennett twice, but he couldn't even say a word. It's a pity that he couldn't help it.

On the day of the dance, the nobleman had been looking for his ideal among the female guests early on, and the young man's love was clearly shown on his face and in his expectant eyes.This made the Countess of Portsmouth frown very much. The wealth of the Bennett family is very prominent, but what help is it to marry the daughter of a Member of Parliament?She would prefer that the eldest son would look at the upstart ladies in the cabinet who, although not rich, have a great say in England.

Therefore, before the Bennetts were present, the Countess of Portsmouth had already introduced a lady from the lord's family and a lady from the viscount's family to Steve Portsmouth.

But when Miss Jane Bennett of the Bennett family appeared on the stage, the Countess of Portsmouth could only sigh, and her son immediately stepped forward and arched his arms to beg for hook-up.

For Steve Portsmouth, he and she have been parted for too long and waited too long.After seeing her today, Miss Jian is even more beautiful and charming again. She walks lightly and gracefully, her waist is tightly held by a delicate lace belt, her eyes are shining with a smile, and her round shoulders, With a full bust and slender limbs, there is no such stunning beauty.

Why didn't Jane wait too long?Although she still maintains a lady's reserve, her smile is decent but not too warm, the hand she stretched out to him has already shown her thoughts.

After some ambiguous hot sex, Jane even said. "Mr. Conder has already gone to Manchester City. Unfortunately, it was just before you returned to London, but if you want to visit him, you can go to Stratford Town."

"Speaking of visiting Mr. Kant, I really want to envy Brother Allen. I heard that they will escort you all the way."

"Ah, yes, it just so happens that they are also going to visit Mr. Kant."

"I think it shouldn't be a big problem to have one more escort?" Steve said, also a little nervous.

Jane was almost delighted. "Of course, I mean of course it's not a big deal." Then she smiled even wider, which naturally fascinated Steve even more.

Elizabeth looked at this pair and looked at the handsome men and women looking at each other. It was completely impossible not to envy her, but if she wanted to deal with Andy Allen who was smiling foolishly in front of her, it would be a big deal. No need.Even now she promised to dance with this silly boy.

As expected, Henry turned around and bowed his arms towards Mary enthusiastically. "Beautiful Miss Mary, I have been looking forward to this day for so long, and it is a pleasure to ask you to dance."

The little girl Mary raised her skirt slightly and saluted.Her current appearance is so different from when she was a child that even the Stoke twins and Mrs. Miller (former Miss Sterling) who are familiar with her are a little surprised.This is not only due to her physical development, elongated limbs, beautiful gauze skirts and exquisite makeup, but also the grooming training she received at school.

She was very comfortable with making small troubles, after all, girls' schools were not for nothing; but she couldn't expect such a person who made such a flattering compliment and kept talking about it.So the little girl stretched out her hand with a sweet heart.

Henry Allen took the opportunity to kiss her lightly on the palm, which was completely incompatible with hand kissing etiquette.If Elizabeth sees it and adds what this guy said before, he will definitely be classified as a smooth-tongued *** master. Perhaps it is this guy who passed through France and learned from it.But how could the little girl Mary speak out about this slightly outrageous act of love?she can be in

The author has something to say: it was my fault for not discovering the two Alans!As for Ellen in the front, I prefer the kid in Attack on Titan; for Alan in the back, I copied Northanger Abbey~!How can it be both a first name and a surname?
