The moment their eyes met, Elizabeth really looked at Miss Sulton one more time.

When a young and beautiful woman meets another young and beautiful woman, it is inevitable to compare secretly in her heart.

And Elizabeth has always been good at observing people, just looking at this one more time, I can feel that deep in those dark blue eyes, there seems to be a trace of unfriendly eyes hidden, just like the smile on her lips, which is also reserved and almost proud.

Elizabeth didn't have time to ponder carefully, and it would be impolite to over-examine others. What she had to do now was to entertain the guests warmly and appropriately as the hostess of Pemberley, especially when Darcy was not at home.

"May I take the liberty to invite my wife's family to sit in the humble house?" Elizabeth sent an invitation to Mrs. Salton.

"Of course, thanks to your kindness, Mrs. Darcy, I haven't set foot in the beautiful meadow of Pemberley for almost ten years." Mrs. Sulton promised repeatedly.

In addition to the nostalgia for Mrs. Anne, she has more important calculations in her heart, and she needs to get closer to the Darcy family.

Elizabeth and Mrs. Reynolds led the Salton family towards the big house of Pemberley Manor.

When Mrs. Bennet saw a group of people approaching, she was both apprehensive and excited.

The visitor can tell at a glance that he has an identity, so why not make her nervous?But there was also a nice-looking young man in there, and perhaps Mary and Kitty's chance had come!

She urged her daughters to cheer up and prepare to greet the guests. Kitty was fine, got rid of the children, and stood beside her obediently, her eyes rolling around, wondering who she was looking at curiously.

But when the children saw Mary reading a book, they hulaped and surrounded her, and asked in one go:

"Miss Mary, what are you reading, the Bible?"

"I think it should be a more interesting book!"

"By the way, have you read the poem "The Farmer and the Sparrow", I think it's very interesting!"

In Mary's view, although she has never been beautiful, she is full of knowledge that her sisters cannot match. In front of everyone, she will not answer "I haven't read it".

She bit the bullet and asked, "Is it about a kind-hearted farmer who sowed grains at the door of his house every day to feed the sparrows, and later the sparrows came from a distant place to repay him with precious seeds?"

This is of course her nonsense, but how could the children care about it, but they were aroused even more interest, "Yes, please read this poem, Miss Mary?"

"Ah? This, this poem..." Mary hesitated, her poor talent really couldn't support her to make up a beautiful and interesting poem in such a short time.

""The Farmer and the Sparrow" is a poem written by the famous pastor Eric, right?" When Mary was sweating, a voice sounded above her head, "It does not talk about precious seeds, but a warning The people of the world should be in awe of life and gods, understand, children?"

The voice is crisp and sweet, but it has a cool and proud taste.

Mary looked up in astonishment, and found that the young lady was standing elegantly, looking down at the children, and finally her eyes fell on herself.

Really wrong?And she pointed it out in front of so many people?

Mary's face was flushed red, and she wished she could get into a crack in the ground under her feet.

Mrs. Bennet is the most defensive. Although she repeatedly reminded herself to behave properly and not to embarrass dear Lizzie, seeing Mary being humiliated by Miss Sulton, how could she bear it? He retorted loudly, "Of course Mary has read this poem, but miss, she would rather tell an interesting story to the children!"

When Elizabeth saw her mother's eyebrows raised, she knew something was wrong, and it was too late to stop it. Mrs. Bennet had her hips akimbo, staring at Miss Sulton in disbelief.

She was having a headache on how to ease the atmosphere, when she heard a person behind her interject in a relaxed tone, "There is such a story, I remember when I was a child, Miss Woodhouse, the tutor, also told it, isn't it, Ivy?"

It's him?Master Lancer Sulton?

Elizabeth saw a pair of deep blue eyes like the gentle sea.

Although it was quite unexpected, she understood that he was kind enough to save her, and of course she would not expose it. She only responded with a slight smile, showing that she understood and was grateful.

Miss Sulton knew that in the original world, the Bennett family was the dullest, the stupidest, and the most pedantic. Very cooperative, enough for Mrs. Darcy to feel ashamed of her family members. Didn't expect Lancer to stand up and help?

However, Miss Salton did not dare to answer right or wrong rashly. God knows that Miss Woodhouse said she never told this story.

It is not important about poetry, but Mrs. Sulton was dissatisfied with the fat woman talking so loudly to her baby. She lowered her head and asked Mrs. Reynolds: "Who is this lady?"

Mrs. Reynolds smiled awkwardly, "It's Mrs. Darcy's mother, Mrs. Bennett, these two are Mrs. Darcy's sisters, Miss Mary and Miss Kitty."

"Oh, nice to meet you, Mrs. Bennett." When she heard that it was Mrs. Darcy's mother, Mrs. Sulton felt embarrassed and reluctantly greeted her.

Miss Sulton's smile was more cordial, she gracefully bowed slightly to Mrs. Bennett and the two young ladies, and the sarcasm in her eyes was also more obvious.

Elizabeth could see all this. She admitted that her mother and sisters were impolite, but she absolutely did not allow others to provoke and laugh at them wantonly.

Well, she doesn't like the Saltons at all, except for this gentle and polite young man, Elizabeth politely invites Pemberley and Darcy into her home in order to maintain their decency.

Georgiana was suffering from a slight cold, so she didn't go outdoors to have a shower. When the maid said that there was a visitor, she quickly packed up and hurried down to the hall to welcome the guests.

There were quite a few visitors, and they were all strangers. She became more and more shy. After bowing her knees and saluting, she lowered her chin slightly and stood quietly and shyly by the sofa.

"Come here, Georgiana." Elizabeth held out her hand considerately to her, "This is Baron Sulton, this is Mrs Sulton, by the way, she is your mother, a good friend of Mrs Anne, and Sulton Mr. Sulton and Miss Sulton."

Mother's best friend?Georgiana looked up in surprise.

Mrs. Sulton's excited face was close to her eyebrows, and she said emotionally: "Ah, dear Georgiana, you have grown up and look so beautiful. When I saw you for the first time, you were so beautiful. It's still the milk doll that Annie is holding in her arms, and it is now taller than my Ivy. By the way, Lancer, come here, you also met Georgiana when you were young."

The long-winded nostalgia confused Georgiana's words. Before she could recover, Mrs. Sulton had pulled a tall and handsome young man to her.

Others didn't understand his mother's intentions, but Lancer did. Although he was embarrassed, he could only pretend to say hello nonchalantly, "Hello, Miss Darcy."

"Hello, Mr. Sulton..."

There was another person present who saw through Mrs. Sulton's mind completely, and that was Mrs. Bennett. Who could be more eager to sell her children than her?

Mrs. Sulton obviously wanted to match her son with Miss Darcy. She also paid attention to Mr. Sulton. Well, why did she also like Georgiana?

Besides, even for the sake of Mary and Kitty, she was unwilling to please Mrs. Sulton and Miss Sulton!
