[Pride and Prejudice] Becoming Katherine Bennett

In order to participate in the ball, Catherine wore a white cotton sleeveless Schumitz dress. This skirt has a simple and elegant style, without complicated decorations such as flowers. It has a high waistline, a V-shaped neckline, and the skirt hangs down to the ground. .

She chose this dress because she didn't need to wear tights, and the design of the skirt was comfortable and stylish. She didn't expect her face to be as pale as the dress.

Seeing Catherine's bloodless face, Elizabeth suppressed her smile and asked worriedly, "Kitty, you look very pale, what's wrong with you?"

Catherine smiled with difficulty, and said weakly, "I'm fine."

She really had nothing wrong with her, but she just found out that the world she traveled to after death was a book called "Pride and Prejudice".fine…!

Catherine has no impression of this famous Western novel. Her memories of the book are limited to the title, the names of the hero and heroine, and the most basic plot. Other characters and details are basically forgotten.

Before, people like Elizabeth, Jane, Bennett, and Bingley failed to remind her of any associations. After all, these names are very common, comparable to "tom" and "Li Qiang".

But "Mr. Darcy" and "Elizabeth" with "earning ten thousand pounds", the combination of these three labels, no matter how bad Catherine's memory was, she remembered who they were.

Catherine read this book when she was in elementary school, in a set of world famous books donated to the orphanage.At that time, she had no special concept of love, Elizabeth's marriage dilemma, and the preciousness of consciousness. She was poor and only impressed by 10,000 pounds. After all, that money was equal to [-]+ RMB. Mr. Darcy was so rich.

When the orphanage volunteer lady told her about this book and told her that [-] pounds in those days was equivalent to tens of millions of RMB today, and that there were few such high incomes in the whole of the UK, Catherine really envied Elizabeth.

The rich and responsible Mr. Darcy is the first male character in Catherine's life that makes her think "I want to marry". The reason is not that complicated.She simply thinks of Qian Xiang and wants to marry a Ma Yun father.

As she grew up, Catherine's teenage heart has been honed to the point where she has been hardened by the reality of constant set-ups, and the book "Pride and Prejudice" that once made her dream of a girl with pink bubbles was also swept into the depths of her memory to eat ashes.

Now, Darcy, Elizabeth and [-] pounds are like a switch, instantly lighting up the memory in Catherine's mind.

Catherine squeezed out a dull smile of "I'm fine" at Elizabeth.

She could not help looking at Mr. Darcy with a very ugly expression.

Bentley was a little embarrassed.

He originally wanted his friend to invite Miss Bennett who had just appeared, but he didn't expect that the other party's attitude of rejection was very obvious before he spoke.

Bingley only saw her sitting nearby after Elizabeth got up just now. She must have heard what he and Darcy said just now, and described it to another lady in the Bennet family.

Darcy's words were really unpleasant, and it was normal for Miss Bennet to have an ugly look on Darcy's face when she defended her sister.

"Darcy..." Bingley didn't know what to say.

Darcy didn't speak, and looked away from Catherine in silence, but his face was more serious than when he was the most serious tonight, and Ben's relaxed expression because of the cheerful music returned to his expressionless expression again.

Overall, it was a good night for most of the Bennett family.

Except Catherine.Since Elizabeth talked to her, her face has been pale and frightening. Elizabeth guarded her and refused the invitations of several men. Jane also left Mr. Bingley for a while, and surrounded her worriedly.

In order not to disturb other people's fun, Catherine decided to go back to Longbourne first. She declined Elizabeth's offer to accompany her back, and told them to have fun, then exited the hall and asked the groom to take her home.

Catherine felt a headache and a very depressed heart. She lowered her head and walked quickly, leaving the hall in a few moments.Naturally, he didn't see the proud Mr. Darcy's eyes following her all the time, watching her back gradually shrinking and disappearing with a vague expression.

"Catherine, are you asleep?"

There was a knock on the door, and Catherine recognized Jane's voice, and replied, "I haven't slept yet."

Jane and Elizabeth walked into the room together, and asked worriedly, "How are you, Catherine."

Catherine's face had returned to her usual ruddy face at this time, and she smiled at the two sisters: "It's much better, I didn't know what happened just now, and suddenly my head hurt, and the pain began to ease after a while, and now I'm completely fine .”

On the way home, sitting in the bumpy carriage, Catherine had gradually accepted this fact.Her life experience since she was a child told her that complaining or worrying is the most useless emotion, and the only thing to do when encountering a problem is to find a way to solve it.

And she thought for a long time, thinking that whether this world is real or from a book, it makes no difference to her.After thinking about this, Catherine regained her usual calm mood.

Jane and Elizabeth were relieved after hearing her explanation, and Elizabeth covered her heart: "You looked so bad just now."

"I'm really well now," Catherine apologized for scaring the two sisters just now, she wanted to make the atmosphere more lively, and changed the subject, "Jane, how is Mr. Bingley?"

"Oh, he's fine." Jane's cheeks were flushed.

Elizabeth said: "Mother said Mr. Bingley was fascinated by Jane. He did, however, ask Jane to dance twice, and Jane was the only woman to be treated this way."

"That's really great." Catherine felt genuine joy.According to the current custom, dance partners will be exchanged after every dance, except for young men and women who have already been engaged.Mr. Bingley's behavior is equivalent to giving Jane a large bouquet of roses as a symbol of love.

"He's really very good," said Jane, unable to help himself. "Sensible, humorous, lively, charming and personable."

"He's handsome, too," replied Elizabeth, "and rich, so he's the perfect man."

However, compared with the unanimous affirmation of Mr. Bingley, Jane and Elizabeth have very different evaluations of Mrs. Hurst and Miss Bingley.Jane still sees everyone as nice and kind, but Elizabeth thinks they are not flattering.

Seeing that Jane and Elizabeth were about to quarrel, Catherine hastily concluded: "No matter what the two ladies are, none of us can deny that Mr. Bingley is a perfect gentleman."

Elizabeth agreed with this statement, and then, as if thinking of something funny, she said: "That Mr. Darcy was the first rich bachelor that mother hated. Disliked by mother."

Catherine didn't know how to answer this question, so she could only smile weakly.

She can't say that the gentleman who is so arrogant that he dismisses you will call you "really fragrant" soon, right?

At the same time, Bingley, Miss Bingley, the Hursts, and Darcy were sitting in Nedfield's drawing room, discussing tonight's party.

The person who enjoyed the whole evening was Mr. Bingley, he was easy to get along with, cheerful and easy-going, and had a great time at the party: "Every resident here is very friendly, and the girls here are the most beautiful I have ever seen in my life, especially Miss Bennett , even more beautiful than a fairy when she smiles!" 2

Darcy said: "Miss Bennet is indeed pretty, but unfortunately she smiles too much, and she smiles like that to other people all the time. Others..."

This noble, arrogant, picky and introverted gentleman originally wanted to say that the people here are not good-looking, and the clothes are also very outdated, which makes people have no interest in talking.But when the words came to his lips, a figure and her serious eyes appeared in front of his eyes.

This realization surprised and annoyed Darcy.

Miss Bingley echoed Darcy's sentiments: "The whole party, except Miss Bennet, who is a sweet girl, is really not pleasant."

Mr. Bingley, being good-natured, only listened to the positive side of what was said: his sisters, and Mr. Darcy, thought Jane was the perfect girl.This conclusion stirred Mr. Bingley's mind.

Early the next morning, several daughters of the Lucas family came to Longbourn, and chatted with the ladies of the Bennet family about yesterday's public gathering.

This is a must-have item for every party they attend. Catherine has to admit that today, without mobile phones and WeChat, the prom is almost the only social way for young ladies to expand their social circle decently. Not going to the prom is not only a lack of Hours of exercise are as simple as that. 3

Charlotte, the eldest daughter of the Lucas family, is a smart girl who can talk, and under the guidance of Mrs. Mr. Bingley asked which girl Mr. Bingley thought came to the public meeting the prettiest. Mr. Bingley answered without hesitation, the eldest of the Bennets, of course, Jane." 4

The Bennett family was very satisfied with this remark, showing joyful expressions.

But Charlotte's next words were surprising: "Catherine, have you met Mr. Darcy?"

All eyes in the living room were on Catherine.She was a little dazed while she was doing needlework. She put down her embroidery needle and looked at Charlotte suspiciously: "I've never seen it before. Why do you ask?"

Charlotte said she heard Mr. Bingley and Mr. Darcy say they had met Catherine during the conversation, and Mr. Bingley persuaded Mr. Darcy to invite her to dance. The latter did not reject the proposal, but Catherine had a bad face at the time, and Darcy Mr. did not go.

Charlotte said: "Remember that he declined the invitation to Eliza, commenting that she was just 'okay'." 5

Mrs. Bennet yelled: "Please, don't mention his words again. It still sounds very annoying. That person is the most annoying person I have ever seen. You must have heard it wrong."

Catherine looked back at Charlotte coldly, until the other party looked away uncomfortably, then she got up and walked to Lizzie.

Fortunately, Elizabeth did not have any negative emotions. She even joked with a smile: "Kitty, if the other protagonist is not Mr. Darcy, I would think that our family is about to usher in two happy events."
