don't touch my darcy

Chapter 5 Here Comes Mrs. Bennett

"Dear Lizzie, it's a pleasure to see you, you seem a little fatter than you were a month ago? Oh, my God—"

After getting out of the carriage and crossing the lawn, Mrs. Bennet excitedly ran up the granite steps holding her skirt. On the top platform stood her beloved Elizabeth, who accidentally stepped on her petticoat, screaming, Almost fell a big somersault.

"Be careful, Mom!" Luckily, Elizabeth came down to support her in time.

"It's okay, baby, don't worry." Mrs. Bennet shook the dust on her petticoat and comforted her daughter in turn. This little accident did not dampen her interest in the slightest.

Kitty, who was following behind her, covered her mouth and snickered, while Mary was still serious, looking at the magnificent spire of the building ahead, her eyes expressionless.

"Mrs. Bennett, the two Miss Bennetts, it's a pleasure to meet again." Mrs. Reynolds took the initiative to greet her.

"How do you do, Mrs. Reynolds, we are delighted too." Mrs. Bennet pointed to the carriage parked in the road. "I brought some good things from Longbourn. Big roast goose, can you let someone fetch it?"

"You are so generous, Mrs. Bennett." Mrs. Reynolds quickly thanked her, and turned to tell the maid, "Go and call Sean, take the gift from your wife to the kitchen, and wait for me to arrange it myself."

"Yes." The maid hurried away.

"I'm not bragging, Mrs. Reynolds, even if you travel all over England, you won't be able to find a better pumpkin than this one." The housekeeper's attention made Mrs. Bennett even more happy.

The mother kept talking happily, and Kitty was already impatient, "Mom, are you going to stand here and blow the air all the time, my cold is just getting better."

Elizabeth was also afraid that her mother would continue to boast about her roast goose if her mother got excited, so she hurriedly took Mrs. Bennet's hand and invited her and her sisters to the living room to rest.

Mrs. Reynolds avoided it on the pretext of preparing dinner.

Elizabeth took her family to the small living room where she and Darcy lived. Georgiana was already waiting there. When Mrs. Bennet and the ladies came in, she got up and curtseyed. Mary and Kitty also returned the salute.

"Miss Darcy, you seem to have grown taller again? That's great!" Mrs. Bennet clasped her hands on her chest and praised with a smile.

Fortunately for Elizabeth, she did not embrace Miss Darcy so enthusiastically and presumptuously as she did when she first came to Pemberley, which really frightened Georgiana.

"Please take a seat, Mrs. Bennett, Miss Bennett." Georgiana gracefully let the guests take their seats.

The maid brought coffee and snacks, and the small living room soon became the world of women.

Elizabeth first asked about her father's health and why he didn't come together. Mrs. Bennet complained that since her two daughters got married, Mr. Bennet had become more and more bored. If someone is angry, it will torture her nerves.

For example, last month, a new pastor came to the parish where the village is located. He was such a kind and decent young man. On the day of his appointment, he visited the Bennett's house and the Lucas' house the next day.

With a stable income of [-] pounds a year, a good vicarage, and the success of her eldest and second daughters, Mrs. Bennet knew from the bottom of her heart that the opportunity had come for Mary or Kitty. Mr. Bennett was urged to visit the young clergyman ahead of other gentlemen who had daughters to marry, but this time, Mr. Bennett refused to go because of the arthritis in his right foot!

"Lizzie, you don't know how disgusting Mr. Bennet is, he thinks arthritis is more important than his daughter's happiness!" Mrs. Bennet said angrily, holding Elizabeth's hand.

Georgiana listened politely, and finally couldn't hold it anymore, covered her lips, chuckled softly, and then realized that she had lost her composure, blushed, and lowered her head.

"Mom..." Elizabeth didn't know what to say, so she gave her mother a helpless look.

"Oh..." Mrs. Bennet finally understood in time, and looked around in a panic, a little incoherently, "Is Mr. Darcy coming back next week? What a pity. I have seen Mr. Bingley twice. times, but never met him..."

"Don't mind Mom, we've discussed it. After the rainy season, we'll visit you and Dad." Mother's fear made Elizabeth's embarrassment turn into emotion.

It can be seen that the mother is very glad that Darcy is not at home. It is true that it is not the son-in-law she is afraid of, but because she does not want her daughter to lose face by her inappropriate words and deeds.

Perhaps the narrow social circle and the busy work for the family have created her somewhat vulgar and vulgar character, but there is no doubt that she loves her daughters more deeply than anyone else, and her daughter's happiness is the whole of her life.

Moreover, she has realized this and is working hard to restrain and change.

During the conversation, Kitty, who was bored, turned her attention to the beautiful new tablecloth, but accidentally knocked over the vase on the table while pulling it, and Mrs. Bennett immediately reprimanded, "Oh, Kitty , can you calm down a little, don't trouble Lizzie!"

"I'm sorry, Lizzie, but I didn't break it later!" Kitty sat back on the sofa resentfully.

Since the three sisters got married one after another, especially without the best Lydia around her, she was really lonely, and Mary, who was also in her boudoir, besides making noise with the piano and voice, read some boring books that were unbearable. s things.

Mother was right, she was a perfect match for the pastor who had just arrived, and perhaps he would love to hear Mary read from the Bible!

Thinking of something interesting, Kitty couldn't help laughing out loud, and was gouged out twice by Mrs. Bennett.

"We'll be there in another five miles, Lancer, Ivy, I can assure you, you'll love it!" Mrs. Sulton said, pointing forward with joy.

Baron Salton's family is heading to their new home, the Rose Manor next to Pemberley.

The carriage was driving on a flat country road, looking out the window at the blue sky, green trees, colorful stones and clear stream, Miss Salton was in a great mood.

She didn't listen to her mother's words at all, she only knew that she was getting closer and closer to her male god.

The changing scenery quickly swept towards the rear of the carriage. Miss Sulton's feelings were swaying in the slight bumps, and her vision gradually blurred. The sun shines through the gaps in the branches and leaves, casting mottled and dreamy light and shadows, as if Mr. Darcy's deep and rich eyes .

She was really intoxicated, with a silly dimple rippling on the corners of her lips, and she didn't notice the worry hidden in the eyes of Mr. Lancer Sulton, who was also smiling long on the opposite side.

Has Ivy really moved on from the shadow of her previous relationship?Lancer was very suspicious.

With his rich experience in love, Lancer is sure that Ivy's expression at this moment is exactly that of a little woman who is immersed in love and lost her way.

Who did she fall in love with this time?
