[Pride and Prejudice] Another Spring of "Scumbags"

Mrs. Bennett's sudden appearance and enthusiasm for the new son-in-law forced Mr. Bennett, who was not satisfied with the marriage at all, to smash his teeth and swallow his blood, and reluctantly agreed to the two-year contract proposed by Wickham. .

Of course, while nodding, he did not forget to add a note: If Lydia has another family, Mr. Wickham must forget this agreement and let her go unconditionally.

Wickham, who knows that his lover is stronger than himself, naturally agrees, but no matter how obedient he is to his future father-in-law, he cannot avoid the fate of being driven away.

"Men should fight as early as possible. Now that you have made up your mind, don't waste your time in Longbourne!" Mr. Bennett ignored his wife's reproachful eyes, and just missed driving away with a broom.

Apparently, Mr. Bennett did not sympathize with the hard work of the handsome military officer in successfully escorting his daughter home, and insisted on kicking this exhausted unexpected guest out of his own territory.

Knowing that he must not add fuel to the flames at this time, Wickham could only cast a reluctant glance at his future wife who rushed out joyfully after seeing his mother reunited after a long absence from the corner of his eye, and tactfully bowed and said goodbye——

Before leaving, he did not forget to ask Mrs. Bennet to send the housekeeper of his official family to the public post in the town in a few days, where there is a public stage coach to Brighton. Mrs. Bennett, who asked his son-in-law to do something, naturally agreed without any hesitation), it was getting late, and he had to rush to town as soon as possible to lodge.

As soon as the eye-obscurant was gone, Mr. Bennett was on the back.

He said in a very displeased tone: "My dear wife, is it because I didn't pay you enough for the decoration? You have never come back so early when you went shopping in the town before."

——How did it happen by such a coincidence?In the past, it was impossible for them to turn back within four or five hours after they went shopping.

While repeatedly ordering the housekeeper to send poor Mr. Wickham out, Mrs. Bennett, who complained bitterly about her husband's unreasonableness, snorted indifferently, turned around and held her little daughter's hand loudly. Praising the latter is simply her pride——

"Your sisters are inferior to you, oh, my dear Lydia, mother is so happy for you, Mr Wickham - oh, how many girls in our town want to marry him !" Mrs. Bennett, who only felt that the sky was falling, ignored her husband.

The veins on Mr. Bennet's brow popped with joy.

Lydia, who had dealt with Mr. Bennett a lot in the previous life and fully understood how awkward he was, rolled her eyes when she saw this, and quickly said, "Mom, why didn't Jane and Mary come back with you? I'm going to cloth this time." Wright brought them back good things—all Meryton didn't have."

"Oh, what a caring little darling of mother," Mrs. Bennett, whose mood was always a few percentage higher than normal, hugged her little daughter as much as she wanted and gave her a lot of enthusiasm. Kissing cheeks overflowing, "They are all at your aunt's house, and your aunt is determined to keep them here, saying that they should stop running back and forth these few days, just in time to recharge their batteries and make a big splash at the ball!"

"Then why are you back?" Lydia glanced cautiously in Mr. Bennett's direction and asked in a curious tone.

"I'm not worried about your dad—" Mrs. Bennett, who answered intuitively, stopped resentfully, took Lydia's hand and said, "I've changed my mind, let's go, mother's baby, go get ready Your change of clothes, we're going to town right away."

"Mom—" Lydia's voice was helpless.

"Hill, Hill, come and help me pack the luggage of the ladies. We are going to live in the town for a few days." Mrs. Bennett dragged her daughter upstairs while calling out to the housekeeper at home.

Mr. Bennett's face has turned black into the bottom of the pot.

Even if his face became the bottom of the pot, Mrs. Bennet didn't intend to be as nervous as usual and take the initiative to ask for peace——

You must know that this is a major event related to her daughter's life. She is not willing to indulge Mr. Bennett's bad habits. As long as she thinks that her husband will put on every handsome young man who comes to ask their daughter to marry him, Mrs. Bennett will have a moment An urge to scream and collapse.

oh my poor nerves...

Mrs. Bennet, full of resentment, waited until Mrs. Hill led the two maids to pack her and several daughters' luggage into the carriage, then dragged her daughter, who couldn't keep looking back because of anxiety, into the carriage, and then told the coachman to leave. People, simply and neatly left her husband behind.

The arrival of Mrs. Bennet and Lydia was warmly welcomed by everyone (at this time Philip's house was full of people, Jane and Kitty and their friends in the town came to visit), including because of Foster The colonel's wife had only invited Lydia but not Kitty, who had been sulking.

It is always a great joy to meet again after a long absence, and Mrs. Philip almost announced on the spot that she would prepare a grand welcome ceremony for her niece, "—we should let everyone in the town know that Longbourn's most popular Little Rose is back!"

Mrs. Philip is indeed Mrs. Bennet's sister, and her exaggerated character is exactly the same as her sister.

"I don't know how to thank you, my dear sister," Mrs. Bennet pressed her handkerchief to the corners of her eyes, with a proud and proud expression on her face, "although you don't know anything yet, what you did Even more thoughtful than Mr. Bennett—just in time, I also want to make an important announcement at the party, oh, of course, of course, we must first invite Mr. Wickham, he should be in town Stay at the hotel above."

"Mr. Wickham?" Mrs. Philip, who was impressed by the handsome officer, screamed in surprise. "What? Has he returned to Meryton again? Didn't he go to cloth with his superior, Colonel Foster, and the others?" Wrighton?"

"Mother, is it true? Mr. Wickham is back? Oh! This is really wonderful-we must invite him as soon as possible!" Kitty also looked happy.

"Yes, of course he's back," said Mrs. Bennett in a voice that could have crushed the living room. "He must come back, and we've got his future half here!"

"What?! Oh, my dear dear sister, stop being a fool and tell us - I can't wait to know which charming and lovely girl has won his heart of gold." Mrs. Philip clasped her hands excitedly on her chest as she ordered the maid to find someone, urging her repeatedly.

Jian Wenyan, who frowned unconsciously when she heard the surname Wickham, also eagerly looked at her mother's face. Based on her understanding of her mother, the reason why her mother was so happy was because Mr. Wickham liked the person very much. It might be—

"Oh oh oh, mother's sweet baby, why are you still shy - all of you here are your relatives, baby, announce your good news to the people who care about you the most, tell them who proposed to you , whoever promises you a lifetime, who will work hard because of you just to marry you in."

Mrs. Bennett smiled radiantly and pulled the blushing Lydia out of her back, showing off as proudly as happy as she could be.

"...Mom, what are you kidding?" Kitty, who finally came to her senses, widened her eyes, "How could it be Lydia—how could Mr. Wickham have a crush on Lydia?!" Kitty's The voice clearly carried a bit of exasperation.

Mary pushed down the glasses on the bridge of her nose nonchalantly, and continued to bury her head in the heavy book.

"Oh, oh, of course I'm not joking," Mrs. Bennet cast a dissatisfied glance at her daughter, and said loudly, "I just went back today and saw Mr. Wickham showing his loyalty to your father, you I don’t know how beautiful and charming what he said—” Mrs. Bennet cleared her throat, leaned forward, and saluted with her right hand on her chest, and said in a deep voice: “Mr. Bennet, maybe you It will feel ridiculous, but I still have to say—Miss Lydia and I sincerely want to make a promise to each other for life. We love each other and promise to grow old together! Oh oh, love each other and promise to live forever How wonderful it is to grow old together..." Mrs. Bennett, who had regained her original tone, exaggeratedly wiped her tears with a lace handkerchief.

Mrs. Philip was also moved to tears, and other ladies and wives who were guests at Philip's house also gathered around to ask the details of the plot.

Only Jane's heart sank suddenly, and the eyes she looked at Lydia were also full of concern and anxiety.

"Lydia, is this true? You really and Mr. Wickham—" She had already known from Elizabeth what kind of virtue the handsome Mr. Wickham was, and she held it in a panic. Lydia's hand, wishing he could drag his little sister to a corner where there was no one, and thoroughly interrogate their relationship.

Lydia, who is familiar with the plot of the original book, naturally understands why Jane is so nervous. Her heart warms up, and she is about to say a few words of relief when the maid's excited communication voice comes from the door: "Everyone is waiting for you Come this way, Mr Wickham, please."

Followed by Mr. Wickham's deep and magnetic voice of thanks and unhurried footsteps.

The wives and ladies who have been taking care of each other since hearing the maid's reminder sat down quickly when the sound of footsteps was only a few steps away from the living room door, and tried to face the visitor with a graceful posture—even if they had already Knowing that the handsome man they asked them to tidy up already wanted it.

Mr. Wickham, who had changed into a red uniform and looked even more outstanding, walked in with a smile on his face. He took off his hat to the ladies in the living room, and handed the top hat he took off to the eye-catching Admiring the maid who followed behind him—in exchange for a flattered cheer from the maid.

Mr. Wickham was greeted by almost everyone in the room, except the Bennett sisters.

Jane is worried about her little sister, Mary is always out of the situation, Kitty is full of resentment, and Lydia is also unhappy.No matter how generous a woman is, she would never like her man to be flattered by other opposite sexes. Lydia, who has been thinking about how to change her lover's impression in the eyes of her family, coughed feigning dissatisfaction, and her big blue eyes were ruthless. She stared fiercely at her husband who had been married to her for decades.

Mrs. Bennett, who also felt that her territory had been violated, was very satisfied with her daughter's declaration of sovereignty, and enthusiastically waved to her future son-in-law—beckoning him to come over quickly.

Wickham, who cooperated with his wife tacitly, has been following her out of the corner of his eye since he entered the living room. Seeing Lydia humming in a feigned displeasure, he politely and resolutely bid farewell to those who gathered around him. Ladies and gentlemen, walk towards Lydia firmly.

And his attitude made Mrs. Bennet even more satisfied, she couldn't help but wink at her sister happily, look, look, this is my son-in-law.

Mrs. Bennet felt that she was losing her face, but Jane, who was sitting next to her and Lydia, was a little uneasy.She watched warily the handsome blond man striding towards them, his pair of big blue eyes that were exactly the same as Lydia's seemed to be watching a scourge.
