[Pride and Prejudice] Plain water

Lydia is finally married, and Elizabeth can finally breathe a sigh of relief.A letter was received that day from Mr. Gardiner saying that he had seen them both.They were not married, and he could see no intention of them marrying.Here he boldly made a condition to Mr. Bennet, which, if he would obey, would soon be married.Mr. Bennet had already arranged for his daughters an inheritance of five thousand pounds, to be given to them at their death, and it would only be necessary for him to give Lydia her share at once.He had to make a contract with her to give her another hundred pounds a year while he was alive.He considered these conditions again and again, thinking that he had the right to make decisions on his behalf, so he agreed without hesitation.He has sent you this letter so that he can hear back from Bennet right away.

After reading the letter, Mr. Bennet did not speak for a long time.

After hearing this, Elizabeth still asked with some uncertainty: "Is this possible? He will marry her?"

Jane said optimistically: "Then, Wickham is not as useless as we imagined. My dear father, congratulations."

Elizabeth asked cautiously and worriedly: "Can I ask you a word? I think you will agree to all the conditions he put forward, right?"

"I agree! I feel embarrassed that he wants so little." Mr. Bennet was a little surprised that he was so satisfied with Wickham's request.

"The two of them must get married! But he is such a person." Elizabeth was also a little worried.

"Yes! Why not, they must marry. There is no other way. But there are two things I want to know--the first, how much your uncle gave to make this happen." The first thing, the second thing, how can I repay him the money in the future?" Mr. Bennet guessed.

Jane was surprised: "Money! Uncle! What do you mean, Dad?"

"I mean that no one in the clearest mind would marry Lydia, because she has nothing to attract attention. I gave her a hundred pounds a year while I was alive, and five A thousand pounds."

Elizabeth also thought: "That's true, but I never thought of it before. After his debts are paid, he will pay more money! Oh, it must have been collected on his behalf by my uncle! What a generous and kind man!" Man! I'm afraid he'll hurt himself. It'll cost him a lot of money."

"Wickham would be a fool if he would agree to marry Lydia for less than ten thousand pounds. He and I have just become related, and I ought not to speak ill of him."

"Ten thousand pounds! God forbid! Even half of it, how can I pay it back?"

Mr. Bennet made no reply and was silent.Elizabeth was also silent, and she didn't believe that Wickham agreed so easily, it must be something uncle did.

In the silence of Mr. Bennet, the worry of Elizabeth and Jane, and the joy of Mrs. Bennet, Lydia and the others returned.

Once inside, Lydia ran into the house.Mrs. Bennet, overwhelmed with joy, stepped forward to welcome her, embraced her, and, with a genial smile, extended her hand to Wickham, wishing them both happiness.Mrs. Ben's words were so loud that she believed they would be happy together.

The new couple then turned to Mr. Bennet, who was less devoted to them than his wife.I saw that his face was extremely serious, and he didn't even open his mouth.The self-sufficiency of the young couple really irritated him.Elizabeth was disgusted, and even Jane could not help being horrified.Lydia was Lydia... restless, not shy, rowdy, fearless.She walked from one sister to the other, asking them to congratulate her one by one.Finally, when everyone sat down, she quickly scanned the room and saw that there had been some changes inside, so she smiled and said that she hadn't been here for a long time.

Wickham didn't even look uncomfortable.His appearance has always been kind and moving. If he is more decent and his marriage is more in line with the rules, then when he comes to visit Yue's family this time, his smiling face and peaceful conversation will naturally please them.Elizabeth could never believe that he could be so impudent, she thought, and there is no end to one's shame.She couldn't help blushing, and Jane blushed too, but the two parties were embarrassed by others, but they didn't change their faces.

Lydia narrated her wedding aloud to her family, "I must tell you what happened. We were married at St. Clement's, you know, because Wickham lived in that parish. Everybody Arranged to be there at eleven o'clock. My aunt and aunt came with me, and the others had agreed to meet at church. Well, I was in a terrible panic by Monday morning. You know, I was terrified that something might happen. If you delay the wedding, then I will really go crazy. I am dressing up, and my aunt keeps talking, talking, as if she is preaching. I can only listen to one of her ten sentences. You can As you can imagine, my thoughts were all about my dear Wickham. I wanted to know. Was he going to marry in his blue dress?" Whatever she said, Elizabeth and the others were ashamed.

"Well, as usual, we had breakfast at ten o'clock that day. I just don't think I can finish a meal, and I must tell you by the way that during my stay with my aunt and aunt, they I've been very unhappy. You won't believe me, I've been there for two weeks, but I haven't left the house. Not a single party, not a single distraction. It's been a boring day. Honestly, London It wasn't too busy, but the little theater was still open. And to get down to business, the carriage came that day, but my uncle had that nasty guy named Mr. Ston call him off. You know, when they meet, they don't want to part. I I was so freaked out and didn't know what to do because it required my uncle to give us a wedding and if we were late we wouldn't be married that day. Luckily he came back in less than 10 minutes so we set off together. But I later Thinking about it again, if he is really entangled and unable to separate himself, the wedding date will not be delayed, because there is Mr. Fitzwilliam who can do it for him."

Elizabeth was startled when she heard something, and repeated the words: "Mr. Fitzwilliam!"

"Oh, yes! He's going to church with Wickham too. Good God, I'm so confused! I should never have said a word about it. I've promised them not." Yes! I don’t know how Wickham will blame me? This should have been strictly kept a secret!” Lydia still said happily without realizing what was wrong with her.

"If it's a secret," Jane asked tentatively, knowing about Elizabeth and Fitzwilliam, "then please don't talk about it anymore. Don't worry, I will never ask you again."

"Oh, I'm sure I won't ask you," Elizabeth said, but she was very curious in her heart. "We will never question you."

"Thank you," said Lydia; "if you ask any further, I shall, of course, tell you the whole story, and it will make Wickham angry."

Her words clearly encouraged Elizabeth to continue asking, so Elizabeth had no choice but to run away, making it impossible for herself to ask.

However, it is impossible to ignore this matter, or at least to inquire about it.Mr. Fitzwilliam should have attended her sister's wedding.She thought about it, and thought of all kinds of weird ideas, but she still couldn't think of a reason.She could not understand it anyway, and was so distressed that she hastily took a piece of paper and wrote a short letter to her aunt, begging her to explain what Lydia had just slipped by accident, so long as it was consistent with the original As long as the plan to keep the secret can go hand in hand.

Her aunt's reply also confirmed what Lydia said, it was Fitzwilliam who helped, he found Lydia and the others, he made Wickham marry Lydia, and he paid for it... .Elizabeth was flustered. She knew Fitzwilliam's feelings for her, and how much he hated Wickham, but for her...
