[Pride and Prejudice] Liz's Little Vest

After passing the note, arrive at the side hall.

Just as Elizabeth stopped, she noticed a very attentive man walking in front of her.

He was wearing a Yuehua white tuxedo, and inside was a jacket with a rattan pattern. The fabric was of good quality, and he could be seen as aristocratic.It's just the mischievous look on his face and the constantly rolling eyes that exposed his temperament of being strong on the outside but dry on the inside.

He walked to the cake stand beside Elizabeth, held up a glass of champagne, and said to her, "Miss, did we meet at Miss Christine's birthday party?"

"Miss Christine?" Elizabeth was taken aback for a moment, and then realized that it was the young man in front of her who was accosting her.She thought it was a little funny, but she still said patiently, "Sorry, you misidentified the person."

The young man was not discouraged: "Since I didn't know each other before, it's not too late to get to know each other now. My name is Lawrence Bill, and the Viscount Bill of Oxford is my brother. As soon as I entered this room, I was fascinated by your beauty. I want to ask the lady for the first dance... Oh yes! I haven't asked the lady's name yet, it's really rude."

Immediately, he patted his forehead pretending to be regretful.

This young man named Lawrence was about the same age as her younger sisters. Among young people of the same age, Elizabeth had never seen such a bold and dissolute person.

But his elder brother, Viscount Bill, should be a friend of Mr. Jenner.Even without this relationship, Elizabeth would not be angry with a young man: "My name is Baskin, Mr. Bill."

"Baskin?" Lawrence Bill searched for the name in his memory as he read it, as if there was no such person in the aristocratic circle he was familiar with.But looking at the temperament and demeanor of this young lady, she doesn't seem to be from a commoner background.

He tentatively asked: "Miss Baskin, no one can divert their attention from your beauty. I think you must have a distinguished father?"

"On the contrary," said Elizabeth, "my father was just an ordinary country gentleman."

Lawrence Bill's complexion suddenly turned ugly.He didn't expect that the lady he tried so hard to find out turned out to be an ordinary person who couldn't be more ordinary.

There are countless beautiful people. If he wanted it, there would be many young and beautiful girls in Zhu Rui Lane who would love to throw themselves into his arms.Such a bitch could only let him enjoy the fish and water, and throw down a few pounds afterwards.But if the purpose is marriage, identity is the top priority.However, in the aristocratic circle, there are not many young and beautiful girls.

He was thinking about how Elizabeth could be invited to Buckingham Palace with a mediocre status, when several voices came from behind him.

"Mr. Lawrence!"

"Lawrence Beale!"

"Lawrence, so you're here!" The girl who was walking in the front ran over with small steps and grabbed Lawrence Bill's arm. She muttered, "I've been looking for you everywhere, but I didn't expect you to Meeting new ladies again."

It seemed to be complaining, and it seemed to be showing off her special relationship with Lawrence to her friends.

"Christine, please don't wrong me." Lawrence said, "I was looking for you too. It's just that Miss Baskin insisted on grabbing me and asking questions, so I had no choice but to stop."

Elizabeth: "..."

At first, she thought that this Mr. Lawrence was just young and playful, but she didn't expect that now it seems that his character is also very lacking.What he lacked in character he made up for in his thick skin.If you had to look for someone, only Mr. Collins could compare with him.

But although she is not a magnanimous person, she didn't want to talk nonsense with the "Empty Ear" gentleman in front of her, so she just sneered.

She was about to leave when a waiter came up with a rose and a letter.

"Miss Baskin, here is a rose for you."

Miss Christine and Mr. Lawrence were stunned, and Elizabeth was also at a loss.She thanked the waiter and opened the letter.

"Miss Elizabeth,"

"Forgive me for making a decision on my own - a decision that has been lingering in my mind for two weeks. I can't apologize, I just hope that this beautiful rose can apologize to you in my place. Of course, you will always be better than this rose Beautiful and moving."

"Edward Jenner."

The letter was scribbled and the ink was still wet. It was obvious that Mr. Jenner had written it hastily before going to meet the regent.

However, judging by his tone, this decision should have been made long ago.He hesitated, but whether he should tell her in advance.

So, what's the matter?Elizabeth was a little confused.

She seemed to be having some thoughts just now, but was interrupted by the communication between the two in front of her.

"Lawrence, do you want to ask me for my first dance?" Christine asked.

Lawrence Bill nodded without blushing: "Of course, Christine. I dreamed of dancing a few more dances with you last night."

"But there are still many people who invite me." Christine said proudly, pointing to the rose in Elizabeth's hand, "Well, if you send me a bouquet of roses like this, I will dance with you. But you must not There is only one flower, and I don't know which shabby gentleman it is, but he doesn't know how to please the young lady."

Christine spoke pointedly, but Lawrence only patted her on the head pretending to be doting.Stopped a waiter: "I want to order a bouquet of roses."

"Excuse me sir," said the waiter apologetically, "a gentleman has ordered all the roses today."

Christine pointed to the one in Elizabeth's hand and asked, "Where did this one come from?"

The waiter replied that he did not know.Just as Christine was about to ask a question, Lawrence quickly stopped her.This is the residence of His Royal Highness the Prince Regent, so naturally he can't be too domineering.

"Christine, there's nothing beautiful about roses. Roses are too red. Your dress today is fresh and pure, and it's more suitable for pale yellow lilies. What do you think, right?"

Just as he was talking, Lawrence glanced at the door of the side hall, and a man in a black dress came with a whole box of roses.

The waiter just said that there are no red roses, and now I see a man holding so many, isn't that a slap in the face?

But this is His Highness's mansion, not a gathering of ordinary nobles, and he dare not anger the waiter.I had no choice but to take a step sideways, seemingly inadvertently blocking Christine's sight.

This time, Christine didn't do what he wanted. She happened to see this man walking towards them—it turned out to be one of the protagonists of this knighthood awarding ceremony, Mr. Darcy.

Mr. Darcy was coming towards her, holding the red rose.

Could it be that he wants to invite her to dance?The more Christine thought about it, the more excited she became.

Her father was a down-and-out jazz, and it was because of Lawrence that she was invited to Buckingham Palace.Of course, Lawrence is only using his brother's name, and he has nothing to go to, and he is incomparable with Mr. Darcy.

Christine was excited and waved to Darcy: "Mr. Darcy, nice to meet you."

Lawrence's face darkened instantly, but Christine didn't notice it at all.

For Mr. Darcy, though not answering, came straight towards them without a pause.

She became even more excited, and was about to take the rose with trembling hands, but found that Mr. Darcy ignored her and walked to the back.

Christine and Lawrence looked back in surprise, and saw a scene they would never forget.

Mr. Darcy stared intently at the girl from the country gentleman's family who had been neglected by them just now.He had a nervous look on his face, as if he was meeting an ordinary friend just now, and the woman in front of him was His Royal Highness the Prince Regent.

"Miss Baskin." Darcy's voice trembled.

He paused and said, "Long time no see."

The author has something to say:

The plot of sending red roses in this chapter is inspired by the movie "Sissi"~
