[Pride and Prejudice] Liz's Little Vest

Chapter 17 Strange Dream

It was true that Darcy was writing letters in his study, but the scene of about half a minute a week ago was constantly replayed like a drama in Zhu Rui Lane, and it was vividly imprinted in his consciousness.

—"Poor Mr. Darcy, you are obviously a step late, the lady has already started dancing with others."

—— "Please pay attention to your words, Miss Bennet's matter has nothing to do with me."

……

He kept thinking back on what he had said at that time, carefully considering every word, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that he was really overwhelmed by arrogance at that time, and he was eager to separate himself from Miss Elizabeth.

It's a good thing now, it's your own fault.

Seeing that Elton and even little Jenner are getting closer to Elizabeth, he can only sulk while worrying that the other party will blame him.However, even with the pain, the pride in his bones still does not allow him to go to the class mansion to extend an olive branch to Miss Elizabeth.

Darcy, however, had not been infrequent in his walks in Longbourne these days.It's a beautiful name: to relax, but actually thinking that if he has the opportunity to meet Miss Elizabeth by chance, he can take this opportunity to apologize to her for his impolite words the day before yesterday.

It's just that there are 24 families in Longbourn. Unfortunately, he has never met the Bennet family. In the morning, Elton invited him to visit the Bennet Ranch, but he arrogantly refused.

……

In the endless stream of thoughts, Darcy struggled to complete the letter to Georgiana, but he was never in the mood to open the next one.

He felt that the study room was a bit stuffy, and it felt better to open the window to blow in the cold wind, but it was still not enough, so he decided to pick up the book he had been reading for the past two days and go for a walk in the garden.

Maybe it was because he had too many things on his mind these days and didn't have a good rest, so he quickly fell asleep leaning against the pavilion pillar.

--

When the rainstorm came, Darcy happened to be having a series of strange dreams[1].

He dreamed that "he" was in an old church in Rosings, and that a tall, stout priest was preaching a drowsy sermon that was luscious and drowsy.

Miss Elizabeth was actually sitting with his cousin Fitzwilliam. They didn't know what they were talking about. Elizabeth's complexion was very bad. She glanced at "herself", and then fled as quickly as if she saw a disgusting monster. .

It was raining heavily outside, Miss Elizabeth didn't care about it at all, and "herself" actually chased after her.

How is this going?Why did Miss Elizabeth know his cousin?

Darcy was very puzzled, but unfortunately in such a strange dream, he seemed to have become a point of origin, standing in God's vision, able to clearly see what happened, but unable to intervene.

He saw "myself" running across a long bridge outside the church, and then found Miss Elizabeth outside a round tower building.

"Miss Elizabeth." Darcy heard "myself" say, Elizabeth seemed to be taken aback, and looked at "him" defensively.

"I really can't hold on anymore. The past few months have been a kind of torture for me. I came to Rosings just to see you."

"I am fighting against worldly views, my family's expectations, your background, and my class. I will put them all aside and let you end my pain[1]."

The past few days were indeed torture for him.At the beginning of listening, Darcy was able to understand the mood of "myself", but after the end, his eyes suddenly widened.

"I don't understand what you're talking about," said Elizabeth.

"I love you."

……

what happened? "He" actually...

"The sincerest love."

"Give me the honor and accept my hand."

……

Darcy is messed up.

"I" is proposing marriage?

Darcy does not deny that he has a good impression of Miss Elizabeth in reality, but this seems to be far from the level of love and marriage, right?

Or did he actually fall in love with Miss Elizabeth long ago, but was too slow to realize it?

How can it be? !Darcy immediately dismissed such notions.Obviously up to now, he has only seen her twice!

Elizabeth in the dream was as confused as Darcy who was watching, and he could even see the anger on her face.

"Sir," she said calmly, "I am very grateful for your struggle. But I am very sorry that it caused you nothing but pain. It was a subconscious decision of mine[1]."

"This is your answer?"

"Yes, sir."

"Are you laughing at me?"

"Do not."

"Are you rejecting me?"

"I believe that the class threshold in your heart will help you overcome the pain."

……

reject?

If it is said that Darcy was only surprised by "his own" marriage proposal earlier, then all his reactions to Miss Elizabeth's refusal were shock.

Whether it is a dream or reality, combining with herself is undoubtedly Miss Elizabeth's best choice, and even the entire Bennett family will be grateful.However, she actually refused.

Why did Elizabeth refuse the marriage proposal?

Why did she run out of the church on a rainy day?

Where did she look at "myself" angrily and disgustedly?

Darcy had countless questions, but the dream was interrupted just here, and he fell into a darkness, but he couldn't wake up.

When his vision returned to light again, he found that he had returned to the beginning of the previous dream—the ancient church in Rosings.

Repeated dream?

wrong.

Darcy looked around, only to find that the sun was shining brightly outside the window, and there was no sign of heavy rain, and the decoration of the church was also quite different from before.The aisle in the middle of the main hall is covered with a thick red carpet, and the outside of the benches on both sides are dotted with colorful hyacinths.

Obviously, this is a medium-sized wedding.

There were not many guests, but there were many familiar faces--Aunt Catherine, Miss de Paul, Miss Jane Bennet, Charles and his sister Georgiana.

Darcy "himself" was not there.

He had some impression of the bridegroom. It was the tall and fat pastor who preached in the church in the last dream. It is said that his name was William Collins. He was promoted by Aunt Catherine to be in charge of this parish.

As for the bride—when the wedding music started and the church door opened, he saw a beautiful lady enter among the flower girls.

Miss Elizabeth?

Darcy felt his brain was blank, although he knew it was a dream, but the pain from the tip of his heart was very real.

How could Miss Elizabeth marry such an ordinary man?There was no smile on her face, as if such a wedding was just a mission for her, not about lifelong happiness.

What secrets does Miss Elizabeth have?

Could this be the reason why she rejected "his" marriage proposal before?

He waited and watched, why is there such a strange pain?

Countless questions sprung up in Darcy's mind like mushrooms after a spring rain. Just at this time, the dream was interrupted again.

--

The sky was overcast and the rain was pouring.

Darcy opened his eyes, looked around blankly, and found that he had finally returned to Netherfield Manor.

wake up.

Originally, I just wanted to take a nap, but I didn't expect to have such strange dreams one after another.

He closed his eyes, sat there for about half a minute, waited until he was fully awake before standing up, looked at the sky, and calculated when the rain would stop.

It shouldn't be too long, and after another half a minute, Darcy came to a conclusion.

He flicked the rain-soaked cover of the book in his hand, thinking about the dream just now, and looked into the distance with some complicated mood.

However, this look immediately revealed a problem.

In another pavilion tens of meters away, he saw that very familiar figure, which appeared twice in his dream, and he couldn't get rid of it.

Miss Elizabeth Bennet?

Why was she at Netherfield?

Is this a hallucination he made in a dream, or is this another dream?

The author has something to say:

The main text will not be updated tomorrow, there will be a side story about Darcy, which has nothing to do with the plot of the main text.
