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

Catherine ended her formal education at the age of 15.At the age of socializing, her limbs are more slender, her breasts are fuller, her figure is more rounded, and her beautiful eyes are as bright as stars.Perhaps it was because of those first loves that she was more moving than an ignorant girl.

After getting off the carriage, Catherine passionately kissed her three sisters, completely forgetting Lydia, the left-behind child at school.Although a few hours ago, when she left school, Lydia was extremely reluctant to give up on her, and she also shed two symbolic tears.But nothing can stop her from returning to London to meet the Viscount of Westminster!

"Tom, remember to handle the suitcase carefully." In Catherine's suitcase, there are layers of skirts made at school and lace woven with her girlfriends.Mrs. Cowley's favorite among the children coming and going in the Bennett family is Catherine. She thinks that only this young lady has fully obtained her true biography and has not wasted the school's efforts.

Mrs. Cowley's original intention of running the school was never to cultivate such a profound and talented woman. It was more to educate the girls to be competent as the hostess of the house. Maybe it is not a bridal school. Pass.

Catherine is such a healthy and gentle girl.It can be said that every mother with a son will like it. It is both ingenious and IKEA IKEA.

"Kitty's coming back just in time for Mary's engagement ceremony!" Mrs. Bennet looked at the flower-like daughters beside her and smiled brightly.Mary's red face was full of brilliance, with a slight smile on her lips, standing quietly beside her mother, very dignified and demure as a woman who was waiting to be married.

Elizabeth and Jane are still close to each other arm in arm. "Mother can't be partial. It's better to let Kitty make her debut in the social circle before Mary and Mr. Reed get engaged."

"No partiality, no partiality!" Mrs. Bennet was cheerful, but the girls all knew that the mother's favorite was the youngest daughter, Lydia. The mother and Mr. Bennet asked that when the youngest daughter reached the age to enter society, the family Gotta have a big dance.

Catherine smiled as usual, the only disappointment was that she didn't see the Viscount of Westminster.

"Don't look around, Ansair has gone to the textile factory, but he should come back with Dad in the evening." Elizabeth teased her sister in a low voice, not letting Mrs. Bennet hear these outrageous remarks.Although she couldn't get along with Ansair herself, wouldn't it make her happier to be called sister by Ansair?

"Since there is still such a distance before dinner, why don't you go back to your room and take care of it?"

Among the sisters, although Elizabeth and Jane, Catherine and Lydia are relatively close, they are blood relatives after all.Mary's marriage is about to be finalized, and the ladies of the Bennet family cherish their unity and friendship even more.

Catherine naturally accepted the affection of her sisters. Unlike Jane and the others, she had already liked the Viscount Westminster very much since she was a child before she had met so many young men, regardless of the cause of this feeling What is it, has experienced her growth and has not dissipated, and has become more and more persistent.Such courage and persistence are the envy of the Bennett sisters.

During dinner, the Viscount Westminster finally appeared in front of little girl Catherine. Although he behaved naturally and generously, he had no other thoughts about Catherine, and the little girl who was familiar with him as a joke had grown a lot taller.

With Catherine's blushing cheeks and warm eyes, what Jane and Elizabeth don't understand.But speaking of it, they couldn't figure out whether Catherine was more infatuated with this face, or really fell in love with Ansair.

———————————————————————————————————

At that time, Catherine was still a child, and she was the one who was most likely to be ignored. Jane was always the most proud beauty of her mother, Liz was the most satisfied daughter of her father, and Mary would always do some unexpected things to arouse her attention. The attention of parents, the little sister Lydia is the most beloved child of her mother.Catherine often thinks that if this is a book, then she must be a passer-by character who is taken with a few strokes.

It was not until the Bennett family bought the garden villa in Westminster that she came to Chelton Ham for the first time, which was different from the hustle and bustle of London and the tranquility of Longbourne.This fledgling holiday destination is alive and well, even without Bath's over-the-top, festive delights.

When the carriage stopped at the garden villa of the Westminster family, the noble boy stood there without any arrogance or prejudice, with a warm smile on his face, so pretty.It was only later that he gradually realized that he no longer had close relatives, but only lived with the housekeeper.During his stay as a guest, he occasionally found that his gorgeous but already worn-out clothes were damaged, and when his soft-hearted mother sewed them up for him, he would always show a moving and happy smile in the face of the unsophisticated repairs.

He never treated them perfunctorily, even when she and Lydia were children.Whenever she talked to him, his expression was always gentle and focused; although she later learned that this was just a basic aristocratic cultivation.Slowly, the concern for him accumulated more and more, from caring to caring.God knows how reluctant she was to go to school, and if the Viscount of Westminster hadn't gone back to continue his studies, she really wanted to stay at home and be able to see him whenever he came to visit.

Now that she has finally graduated from school and has reached the age where she can enter society, she can finally appear in his sight as a woman.

Catherine sat quietly in front of the dressing table, suppressing her excitement, watching her sisters jumping for joy and gearing up for her adult appearance.

As a relative and friend of the Bennett family, the Viscount of Westminster inevitably had to dance with Catherine on this day.Time flies. In his impression, when he first met Miss Catherine, she was still a little guy who was smiling shyly because of the change of teeth. Now she has grown into a fair lady, watching her chatting and laughing with her sisters and friends from a distance.It's just that her blue eyes are always aimed at him intentionally or unconsciously?Look, even when he invited Elizabeth, her eyes seemed to glance over inadvertently!

"Elizabeth, is there something on my face?"

"No, everything is as usual, still so glamorous!~" Elizabeth raised her folding fan to lightly cover her lips and nose, revealing only her crooked smiling eyes.

"But Catherine has been looking at me. Is there really nothing wrong with taking a closer look at me?"

Of course Elizabeth knew what her sister was thinking, "Speaking of which, Catherine is the protagonist today, shouldn't you invite her to dance first? Catherine has been looking forward to it for a long time!"

Ansair always felt that Elizabeth's ordinary words with a bit of ridicule had a different meaning, which was faintly weird.However, he still went up to invite Catherine to dance with him, and he was greeted by Catherine's bright smiling face.

"Catherine, you look beautiful today! Allow me to invite you to this dance."

"Thank you, it's a great honor." Different from the dancing in the living room at home, this is a formal and public occasion for socializing. Catherine couldn't help but her heart beat faster and faster. She has liked this person for a long time.

"Time flies, Catherine has grown up."

"Oh, Ansair, you are not much older than me, please don't use such an exclamation tone."

"Yes, my lady."

"It's the first time to dance with you, Ansair, on such an occasion. Are you really excited?"

"Why do you say that? I used to be your dance partner teacher, right?"

"Ah, do you count as a teacher? I was still a child at that time! You see, I have become a lady now." Catherine blinked playfully, no matter how nervous she was, she couldn't let it out.

"Yes, you are a beautiful and lovely little lady."

"Ansair, I'm not young! Dad is 10 years older than mom, how old are you older than me?"

Ansair has some inexplicable topics, and the girl from the Bennett family is really weird today.After the whole dance, his feeling didn't fade away. It wasn't a day or two for the girls in the Bennett family to have new ideas, but they were all excellent ladies.

Ever since Catherine Bennett stepped into the social circle, this lady has been very active in welcoming the adult world.Watching operas, reading newspapers, riding horses, tea parties, and dancing parties, you really won’t miss any of them.Of course, as long as Ansair is free, he will never escape the fate of accompanying him.

He really didn't know why it was like this, but it was always difficult for him to refuse the requests of the girls in the Bennett family.This kind of tolerance and patience is completely lacking for others.

Just like now, he obviously came to find Mr. Bennett, but he had to attend the afternoon tea party of the ladies.

Even Tom Reed, Mr. Gardinal, Wendell Weir, and Kant, the governess, were there; the gentlemen talked in good spirits.The ladies are beautiful and gentle, and they also express their opinions from time to time, and they are all taken seriously by the men.The afternoon tea at Bennett's house is really delicious, but for Westminster now, he doesn't know whether it is more delicious and enjoyable, or more torture.

Catherine has been looking at him, whether it is inadvertently or casually, although he always has such a perfect smile when he looks over.Like a frog being targeted by a snake, this made Ansair nervous for no reason!But although Catherine's focused eyes were too scary, her demeanor was so gentle and caring.She pays close attention to refilling his glass with drinks and serving him his favorite treats.Every move made him feel the care and love from her, which was a good feeling.
