[Pride and Prejudice] Plain water

On the other hand, Elizabeth was invited by her friend Charlotte to go to Rosings. Although there was a gap between them because of that incident, they were friends after all.This time they invited Charlotte's father, sister and friends to visit their house after they got married.

After Fitzwilliam and the others left, Elizabeth regretted it. She was too impulsive at the time, and now looking back at Wickham's words, she felt vaguely wrong.What really made him feel wrong was that Wickham agreed to be engaged to Miss King. You must know that Wickham didn't pay attention to her at all, why when her grandfather passed away and she became the master of the property, he Will you fall in love with her?This can't help but make people think too much.Could it be that she really misunderstood, and suddenly felt very irritable in her heart, so she agreed to Charlotte's invitation to take advantage of this to relax.

On the second day of departure, during the journey, Elizabeth felt that Sir William could hardly speak a pleasant word, and his daughter Maria, although she had a good temper, was as empty-headed as her father, and could not speak a pleasant word.Listening to their father and daughter talking is as boring as hearing the rumble of vehicles.Elizabeth was fond of nonsense, but she was tired of hearing Sir William's.He talked about audiences to the emperor and knighthoods and other anecdotes, and he couldn't find anything new; his manners, like his speech, were as old as he was.

At last I saw the vicarage.The garden diagonally across the road, the house in the garden, the green fence, and the laurel hedge...everything seemed to announce their arrival.Mr. Collins and Charlotte came to the door.Amid the frequent nodding and smiling of the guests and hosts, the guests stopped their cars in front of a small gate, from which they could go directly to the main house through a short cobblestone paved road.In a blink of an eye, they all got out of the car, and the host and guest met each other with infinite joy.

Collins greeted his friend with almost dancing, and Elizabeth was all the more satisfied with her visit, being so cordially received.She saw at once that her cousin's marriage had not changed his attitude. He was still exactly as formal as ever, and he held her at the door for several minutes to inquire about the well-being of her family.After hearing her answer one by one, he was satisfied.He therefore did not delay them any longer, but showed them how neat the door was, and led the guests into the house; He said that it was a great honor to have you all come to the humble house this time, and he did not hesitate to re-dedicate the snacks brought by his wife.

Elizabeth had long expected his elation to be so great, that when he boasted of the beauty of the house, its shape, and all its furnishings, she could not help thinking that he was speaking to her specially, as if to make her understand that she had What a loss it was to reject him.Though everything was indeed neat and comfortable, she must not show him the slightest trace of remorse to flatter him; she even looked at Charlotte with wonder, she could not understand that Charlotte and such Why are you so happy when you get along with a partner of yours?Mr. Collins's occasional remarks, which his own wife would have been ashamed to hear, and which were not rare, made Elizabeth involuntarily ask Charlotte Take a look.Charlotte once or twice blushed a little at the sight, but generally pretended not to hear, wisely.

In private, Elizabeth asked Charlotte suspiciously, "Are you happy?"

"I like my current life very much." She paused for a while and smiled, and then said earnestly, "Elizabeth, not everyone is so lucky. I am already 27 years old. I am not as smart as you, nor as beautiful as Jane." I am not a romantic person either, I just want to have a comfortable home. In terms of Mr. Collins's character, social relations and status, I think that if I marry him, I can get happiness, which is not inferior to Mr. The kind of happiness that most people boast about when they get married. Anyway, I like this kind of life very much.”

Elizabeth was shocked to hear what Charlotte said. She couldn't enjoy the material life like her, and she yearned for the spiritual world more.Thinking about it, I couldn't help but think of Fitzwilliam, and my heart still hurts, she really likes him!
