[Pride and Prejudice] Liz's Little Vest

That night, Elizabeth had a beautiful and warm dream.

In the dream, "she" and Darcy drove through a deep and vast wood in a four-wheeled carriage, and then arrived at Pemberley.

When the carriage stopped on the top of the hill, the Pemberley building immediately came into view.The house was on the other side of the valley, and there was a rather steep road winding into the valley.It was a very handsome stone building, standing on a high ridge.In front of the house is an interesting stream, and behind the house are dense hills[1].

"My dearest Elizabeth, will you go a part of the way with me?" said Darcy.

It was only then that Elizabeth noticed that "her" who stepped out of the carriage had a slightly swollen belly.

This is……

Already married to Mr. Darcy?

"Yes, Fitzwilliam," she heard "myself" say.

Darcy took "Elizabeth" by the hand and walked down the hill slowly.They walked along the creek, listening to the chirping of birds in the mountains and forests, and talking about their journey with the Bingleys in the Lake District two weeks ago, and they walked to the foot of Pemberley Manor in a blink of an eye.

"Mom, Dad!" A two-year-old girl ran towards them happily.

Elizabeth was stunned for a moment, but Darcy had already stepped forward, bent down and picked up the little girl.

"Angelina, have you listened to your Aunt Georgiana obediently during the two weeks when Mom and Dad were away?"

Darcy was as young and handsome as Elizabeth remembered, but he was less arrogant and more gentle, especially when facing the little girl in front of him, he was shrouded in the kindness of his father.

"Of course!" Angelina pinched Darcy's face.She made a face, then ran into the garden, grinning, and played hide-and-seek with Grandma Reynolds.

Darcy smiled and watched her run away, and said, "Angelina is simply an angel."

"She" said: "That's because she has an angelic mother, and she will have a little angel brother in the future."

"I wish I was still a younger sister." Darcy touched the stomach of "Elizabeth" and said honestly.

"Elizabeth" smiled: "Fitzwilliam, it seems that you were not satisfied with taking care of Georgiana when you were young."

Darcy smiled, did not speak, and led "Elizabeth" into the house.

The pleasant day began here, and they had lunch with the Bingleys at noon.Then, in the afternoon, I took Angelina and Jane's youngest son, Donald, to go hiking and fishing together.In the evening, Mrs. and Mrs. Bennett came to visit, and the whole family had a happy dinner.

After taking a bath and coaxing Angelina to sleep, "Elizabeth" also fell asleep in Darcy's arms.

……

When he woke up again, he returned to the familiar Banfu.

Elizabeth sighed.

How beautiful and desirable the dream is, how helpless the reality is.

Although it is much better than being alone in London alone in her previous life, but thinking that there are Mr. Collins and Miss Augusta downstairs who need her to deal with it, Elizabeth felt that it would be better to continue to sleep and dream again. pleasure.

Thinking of this, she felt a little regret for a moment: If she hadn't been proud at that time and agreed to Mr. Darcy's marriage proposal, then maybe it wouldn't be long before the story in this dream would become a reality.

Of course, she soon gave up this unrealistic fantasy.She always believes that only by realizing her own independence and then combining with Darcy can she live a truly happy life.

As for Mr. Darcy, however, she had not seen him for only a few days before she began to miss him.

Elizabeth stretched her waist, closed her eyes and recalled the beauty of the dream for a minute, then dressed neatly, and went downstairs to the restaurant.

Mr. Collins and Miss Augusta had been sitting upright in the dining-room early on.The rest of the Miss Bennets, Mr. Bennett and Mrs. Bennett also went downstairs one after another.

Seeing that Mr. Bennet was seated, the housekeeper ordered the cook to serve potato soup, buttered bread, milk and bacon with English muffins.

Mr. Collins and Miss Augusta were so hungry that they didn't even pay attention to etiquette. They grabbed the buttered bread and stuffed it directly into their mouths.Then, he could only watch dryly as the rest drank the warm potato soup and swallowed cold milk himself.

"I'm very sorry." Mrs. Bennet had prepared her speech a long time ago, and Elizabeth handed it to her. "We didn't know that you were coming, so we didn't let the farmers pick enough big potatoes." Without any apology, he said, "I'm really sorry. Did you sleep well last night?"

"My Mr. Ke is very satisfied." Miss Augusta paused, and then pretended to cough, trying to attract the attention of people at the dinner table, "However, I want to say that a few things about this room are really too Surprised me—”

"A good house does not have two living rooms. If there are more guests in the future, it will be very crowded. This Maple Garden house is very good[2]."

"And the muffins for breakfast are poorly made, and no ice is served. The cooks here don't know much about the development of the world. But don't worry, I will teach them how to arrange various things[2]."

"I heard from Mr. Ke that there are twenty-four families in Longbourn. I think it is very necessary to have a grand banquet, which is held every spring. Every table in the banquet must be lit with candles - don't be afraid of waste - in return for their kindness[24].”

"Ah, and the Whistle card room must not be shabby. Every poker table must be filled with brand new cards. It must be genuine cards that have not been opened. In addition, more people must be hired than expected. This is to deal with possible mistakes. They must arrive early and wear standard[2].”

If Mr. Collins once claimed to be a good vicar and a good doctor of Longbourn, he was a good neighbor, guarded against the dangers of the past, and spread rumors about Wickham's truth and falsehood.

Well, the present-to-be Mrs. Collins is about to think of herself as a Longbourne architect, and she is thinking about how to transform the scenery here, the habits here, so that everyone will accept her standards and obey her wishes--just short of It was built here as the second Maple Garden house.

Both Mr. Collins and the soon-to-be Mrs. Collins are equally arrogant, equally selfish, equally sensational, and equally infuriating and disgusting.

Fortunately, the Bennett family didn't have to listen to her construction declaration, because someone knocked on the door of the Bennett Mansion.

They were wondering who would be visiting at this time, and the housekeeper's wife came to report.

She said Mr Bingley, Miss Bingley and Mr Darcy were visiting and were already waiting in the hall.
