Miss Elizabeth Goldfinger Bennet

Chapter 7

"Miss Elizabeth likes to read very much?" The low voice is Elizabeth's favorite but the one who spoke.

"Of course knowledge changes the world and lives! Doesn't it, Mr. Darcy?"

"It seems that Miss Elizabeth has read a lot of books."

"Of course, no, I am very satisfied with my current situation, you know that although my family has a lot of problems, but I still love her very much, I am very satisfied with my life now, so I don't need to change now. "

"..." Defeated Mr. Darcy.

"Miss Elizabeth is very fond of reading, and I wish I had a larger library, whether it is for your benefit or my own; but I am a slugger, and I have not many books, and I have read more." Less." Mr. Bingley looked at his speechless friend with some gloating for some reason, and Darcy usually had no words to answer what others said.

Elizabeth had a better image of Mr. Bingley than anyone else here, and so treated him much better. "In fact, I value a person's character more than a person's knowledge. I wonder if Mr. Darcy agrees with this point of view?"

"Yes, I agree with this point of view. Miss Elizabeth is right." Darcy felt that the worst thing he did that night was to satirize the Bennet family with Miss Bingley.This is really a very ungentlemanly behavior. Darcy obviously felt Elizabeth's disgust towards him, which made his heart feel like lead.

And Miss Bingley, equipped with the 'Mr. Darcy Sensor', immediately came out to save the siege: "I am very surprised, Charles, why Dad only left so few books. ──Mr. Darcy, your library in Pembbury The room is really nice!"

"That's nothing special, it's a generational thing," Darcy said.

"You have added a lot of books yourself, and I can see that you are always buying books."

"I have a life like this, so I'm naturally ashamed to neglect the library at home."

"Actually you have neglected nothing. Charles, when you build your own house, I only wish to be half as beautiful as Pemberley."

"I hope so too."

"All I can do is to urge you to buy near there, and use Pemberley as an example. There is no better county in England than Derbyshire."

"I'd be more than happy to do that. I'd love to just buy Pemberley, if only Darcy would sell."

"We're talking about the possible, Charles."

When Elizabeth heard them talking about Pemberley, it occurred to her that she had not yet had the opportunity to see her 'Rose Manor', the manor she had spent countless efforts on.

At this time Miss Bingley asked Darcy again: "Miss Darcy has grown a lot since spring, hasn't she? Will she grow to my height in the future?"

"I suppose so. She's about as tall as Miss Elizabeth Bennet now, and I'm afraid she's a little taller."

Elizabeth suddenly heard her name and looked at Darcy reflexively. The two looked at each other unexpectedly. Elizabeth had to admit that Mr. Darcy's eyes were very attractive, deep, rigorous, proud and tender?Must be dazzled Mr. Darcy would have such tender eyes?

On the other hand, Mr. Darcy's heart is beating rapidly as if being hit, those beautiful eyes...

"I should like to see her again! I never met anyone so fond of me. She was so good-looking, and so polite, and so accomplished at such a young age, and she played the piano very well. "

Mr. Bingley said: "It really amazes me how young girls can have so much ability and exercise themselves to be so versatile."

"Every young girl is very talented! What do you mean, my dear Charles?"

"Yes, I think all of them are like that. They can decorate tables, decorate screens, weave purses. I hardly ever see a single one who doesn't know everything, and whenever I hear about a young girl, There is never a time when you don't hear that she is versatile."

Darcy said: "If you say that a set of extremely ordinary so-called talents is a talented woman, then the view that everyone is a talented woman is absolutely true. How many women just know how to weave money bags and decorate screens, and enjoy the versatility. Good name; but I can't agree with your estimate of women in general. I dare not boast; I know many women, and there are only half a dozen who are really accomplished."

"I really don't dare to speak big words," Miss Bingley immediately agreed. "Then, in your imagination, a versatile woman should include many conditions."

"Yes, I think it should include many conditions. A woman cannot be considered versatile if she cannot surpass ordinary people. A woman must be proficient in music, singing, painting, dancing, and modern languages ​​to be worthy of this title; otherwise, she Her appearance and gait, her tone of voice, her speech and expression, must all be quite amusing, or she is not qualified."

Darcy went on to say: "In addition to these conditions, she should also read more books, gain knowledge, and have some real talents."

Elizabeth is not interested in their conversation. She knows most of what they say, but she doesn't like to put on the hat of a talented woman. It's more like the shackles that the times put on women. Tell them that you can only learn these things that will make you Marry a good husband stuff.

"Don't Miss Elizabeth think so?" Miss Bingley was displeased to see Elizabeth's indifference (in fact, Elizabeth's face was only expressionless).

"Sorry. I don't know how to define a talented woman, and I don't care much about it. In my opinion, if I don't like painting, then I will never force myself to learn painting in order to become a talented woman. Music, singing Painting, painting, and dancing are all art, and art needs talent and aura. Otherwise, it’s just grandstanding and affectation. I don’t think I have such a talent, I just learn these things because I like them, and I can get happiness from them.” Elizabeth has the "art of art" Heart' She is very talented in these areas, coupled with system bonuses, Elizabeth learns quickly and can quickly grasp the essence. This kind of learning makes people happy physically and mentally, even if it sometimes makes her a little tired To make money for system upgrades, but these years she really likes these things and gradually become a part of her life.But she didn't feel like it needed to be told to anyone here.

"Then what does Miss Elizabeth like?" Darcy agreed with Elizabeth's answer.

"I like everything I like. Mr. Darcy, you have such high standards for talented women, I don't know if your standards for real gentlemen are clear, integrity? Serious? Tolerant or consistent? I think Mr. Darcy must be 'strict with self-discipline and lenient' A real gentleman who treats people with respect." Elizabeth admits that she is a little girl who holds grudges, and reminds Mr. Darcy to know that he also has a lot of shortcomings when he evaluates other people's faults, at least his arrogance is annoying.

"..." Mr. Darcy who was defeated again.

The next day, Jane's illness was almost healed. In the morning, Jane went downstairs to have dinner with everyone. Everyone congratulated Jane on her recovery, especially Mr. Bingley, whose friendship for Jane could be seen by any fool. Elizabeth watched Mr. Bingley's eyes never left Jane since she came down the stairs. He inquired about Jane's health and cared about her appetite.Such a loyal dog not only makes Jane feel shy but also sweet, and the care of her sweetheart will make any girl addicted.

Mrs. Horst and Miss Bingley attended the patient for several hours in the morning, and though Jane recovered quickly, Elizabeth and the others sent her back to her room to rest after two hours of activity.Elizabeth stayed with them in the drawing-room at night.Mr. Darcy was writing a letter, and Miss Bingley sat beside him to watch him write, and kept pestering him to post her regards to his sister.Mr. Horst and Mr. Bingley were playing "Picker," with Mrs. Horst watching them.

Elizabeth, still reading, listened attentively to Darcy's conversation with Miss Bingley.I could only hear Miss Bingley complimenting him non-stop, either saying that his handwriting was good, or that his handwriting was very neat, or that the letters praising him were carefully written, but the other party was completely indifferent ignore.These two people you ask and I answer, forming a wonderful dialogue.Elizabeth felt that the two were a perfect match.

"How delighted Miss Darcy will be to receive such a letter!"

He didn't answer.

"It's rare for you to write letters so quickly."

"You're not right. I write rather slowly."

"How many letters do you have to write in a year. Business letters, too, I think it's tiresome enough!"

"Then it's a good thing that these letters got to me and not to you."

"Please tell Lingmei that I really want to meet her."

"I've told her as I was told."

"I'm afraid your pen isn't working very well. Let me fix it for you. Pen repairing is my specialty."

"Thank you for your kindness, I always fix it myself."

"Why do you write so neatly?"

He didn't make a sound.

"Tell your sister, just that I hear her improving on the harp. I am so glad, and tell her how much I like that pretty little picture she sent me to decorate the table with, I think it's much better than Miss Grant's."

"Can you please be accommodating and let me delay telling her your liking until the next time I write a letter? I can't write so much this time."

"Oh, never mind. I shall see her in the first month. But do you write her long, moving letters, Mr. Darcy?"

"My letters are generally very long; but whether each one is attractive is not for me to say."

"But I always feel that anyone who writes a long letter in a flash can never do it badly anyway."

Her brother exclaimed, "That kind of compliment can't be applied to Darcy, because he can't write it with a stroke of a pen, he has to work on words with four syllables." - Darcy, you Isn't that so?"

"My style of writing letters is very different from yours."

"Oh," exclaimed Miss Bingley, "Charles writes letters with such a careless manner as to be unimaginable. He will miss half the words, and half cross them."

"My thoughts run so fast that I hardly have time to write, so sometimes the recipients read my letters without meaning. Does Miss Elizabeth often write?"

Why is it that I, Elizabeth, secretly rolled my eyes, "Of course, letters are a must for communication between the two places. Of course I often write letters. Words convey feelings, orders and everything."

The author has something to say: I think the dialogue between Darcy and Miss Bingley is so funny!

Miss Bingley's bubble darcy is poor
