[Comprehensive] Mother's Responsibility
Chapter 128 The meeting between Catherine and Elizabeth
"Collins Bennett?" Darcy thought for a long time but couldn't remember who he was. When he wanted to refuse directly, one of Georgiana's maids suddenly told Darcy that this name seemed to have been heard by Lady Catherine. It is said that it was originally A church worker in the fiefdom under the name of Rosings Manor.
Darcy frowned. This maid was given to Georgiana by Aunt Catherine. He would not doubt the loyalty of this maid. Although he didn't know the relationship between this Mr. Collins Bennett and Mr. Bennett here, Thinking that he had been received by Aunt Catherine, he was invited in.
Soon Darcy regretted his previous actions. Darcy is a very serious person. Although he has become more comfortable dealing with all kinds of people after becoming the head of the family these years, but facing this one. Darcy suddenly felt a little headache after boasting and flattering someone who didn't bring any repetition and enthusiasm for an hour.
By virtue of having something to deal with, Darcy politely prevented Mr. Collins from continuing to speak.
"Of course, honorable sir, it is my honor for you to receive me in your busy schedule, thank you very much! May I see Mr. Bingley? We are going to be relatives after all." Hearing Darcy's words, Collins hurried road.He has already inquired that Jane's fiancé, Mr. Bingley, is a close friend of Mr. Darcy. Collins is very excited when he thinks that he can have such a relationship with such an honorable gentleman as Mr. Darcy. Now he feels that choosing the daughter of the Bennet family Being my own wife is simply the best decision I have ever made in my life!
"A relative?" Darcy felt that if it was true, he could mourn for Bingley, but when he thought of the gentleman's surname, he felt a little clear in his heart.
"Yes, Mr. Darcy." Collins spoke with a little excitement about his relationship with the Bennetts.
Hearing that he would inherit the property of the Bennett family and would also marry Miss Elizabeth Bennett, Darcy hesitated for a moment, but didn't say anything, but he felt a little pity in his heart, such a lively and individual girl It's a pity to marry such a man... Shaking his head lightly, Darcy felt that he had no position to say anything. Georgiana was right. Everyone has their own choices and opinions. This is someone else's life. He has no right to interfere.
Bingley had a good impression of Elizabeth. Jane, the younger sister, was very smart and intelligent, but...Looking at Mr. Collins who talked so much, Bingley still couldn't help feeling sorry.After finally dismissing Mr. Collins, Bingley felt a headache again when he saw his sister who was still not talking to him.
Caroline doesn't like Jane, not at all, she is more beautiful and attractive than herself... Caroline has always had a secret in her heart, that is, she secretly admires Mr. Darcy, but she has nothing Dare to say, Lady Catherine didn't even look down on Prince Ferdinand who was the Grand Duke. She once said in front of herself that she wanted to find a stunning beauty for her nephew Darcy. Caroline knew that she was far from reaching Lady Catherine. The so-called stunning.So every time she faced a woman who was more beautiful than herself, she couldn't help feeling jealous.
If Darcy is a dream in Caroline's heart, Bingley is her reality. She knows that she can live a decent life now only because her surname is Bingley. The dream is far away, but the reality is close at hand. So although she is a bit arrogant and unruly on weekdays, Caroline has always been very kind and protective of her brother Bentley.She knew that Bingley would get married one day, and there would always be a mistress in the Bingley family. Caroline cared about her brother, so she didn't want a woman she hated to be the mistress of the Bingley family, especially Miss Jane Bennett and Such a group of uneducated sisters.
Marquis Christian didn't know why Catherine insisted on living in this small place like Lumborn?She also has several manors in other villages, and the environment is still very good... But Marquis Christian is a very considerate lover. Basically, as long as Catherine proposes, no matter whether it is reasonable or not, he has almost no objection. He loves this manor. A woman like a fairy, willing to do anything for her.
Compared with the Bingley family who only had a few carriages, Darcy and Georgiana came with ten carriages, which was already eye-opening for them. There were nearly twenty carriages, which made the whole of Longbourne boil. Even the mayor rushed over early to welcome Catherine and Marquis Christian and his party. Although Anne had married abroad, and the title of Duke of Bird had come to an end, However, Catherine, the Duke's widow, still enjoys the power she should have. In addition, she herself pays great attention to enjoyment. After all, if she earns so much money, it is a waste not to spend it.
"Oh! My dear Anna, I'm so glad to see you, you know I miss you all the time!" Darcy, Georgiana, and Bentley received from the preceding knights After the news, Catherine was waiting in the Rose Manor early, wearing an elegant purple dress, got out of the carriage, saw Georgiana at a glance, walked over to hug her, and printed a kiss on her face.
"I miss you all the time too!" Georgiana kissed back and embraced Catherine excitedly.
Darcy stood aside silently, but the excited expression in his eyes showed his thoughts. Although the separation was not long, he also wanted to see his aunt very much.
"My handsome boy, you seem to be handsome again. I guarantee you are the most handsome boy I have ever seen, bar none." After greeting Georgiana, Catherine hugged Darcy again, and then said mischievously.
Darcy raised his eyebrows and said softly: "My dear aunt is the top three of the most beautiful women I have ever seen... You are all so beautiful, the rankings are evenly matched!" Well, I have been forced by these three women since I was a child Who is the most beautiful, Darcy has now developed the habit of speaking cautiously!
"Brother, are those three?" Georgiana smiled triumphantly, and then asked curiously.
Darcy put his fist to his mouth and coughed lightly, then said somewhat unnaturally: "Anne, aunt and you, you three are the most beautiful ladies I have ever seen."
Catherine smiled when she heard the words, then turned her head to greet the Bingley family, and entered the house.
Caroline watched the well-trained shop quickly serve tea and snacks, and the furnishings in the room were all exquisite. She knew that it was definitely not left by the original owner. She watched Catherine sitting lazily on the chair and following the Everyone was chatting, Caroline's heart was extremely complicated, holding the jewelry that Catherine gave her "self" design, Caroline didn't have the arrogance and rudeness when getting along with others, she just sat there quietly, in fact, Darcy, Georgiana, and the nervous Bingley were roughed up, and the others hardly spoke much.
"So the outsiders are going to hold a dance?" Catherine got this information during the conversation with Bingley, which can be regarded as an opportunity to get to know the people around her in a new place! ... Catherine wanted to see Elizabeth very much. Thinking of this, she nodded, and then said to Darcy: "In this case, you can prepare for the ball and inform the guests. I will dance at the ball when the time comes."
Darcy looked at his aunt lazily leaning on the soft chair and left everything to him. Although he felt helpless, he obediently obeyed.
Rose Manor is about to hold a grand ball, which makes all the townspeople in Longborn excited. This is different from the ball at Netherfield Manor a few months ago. This is the ball held by the most famous Duchess Catherine in England!Although Duke Anne's title of Duke of Bird has not been continued because of Duke Anne's distant marriage, and the status of Duchess Catherine is no longer worthy of the name, but in people's hearts, the magnificent and talented Lady Catherine who has brought countless honors and praises is still in everyone's hearts. Duchess.
Even Mr. Bennett couldn't help being a little excited when he heard the news. Although he once doubted whether everything Catherine did was due to the help of others and could not be done by one person, he never doubted Catherine's Talented, this is a wonderful woman.
Darcy, as the owner of Pemberley Manor, held several dances in Pemberley every year, and he was familiar with it. Under his arrangement, the time of the dance was quickly determined.
"Look, they're so happy!" Marquis Christian, Darcy and Georgiana next door to Catherine walked on the country road, smelling the fragrance of the soil after the rain, and seeing the girls running aside, they couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
Georgiana was holding Darcy's other arm, smiling and nodding her head, but she couldn't help but feel a little proud in her heart, because of her rich childhood life, the popular entertainment activities now are almost all thought of by her aunt for herself and sister Anne. What's the fun in just running?
"Fitz, my dear baby, do you know that girl over there?" Because Catherine is a party of enjoyment, when she travels, there are servants and guards around her, so the villagers on one side salute them from a distance, everyone's He couldn't keep looking directly at himself, but there was a girl wearing a long maroon dress, watching Catherine and her party from a distance. Although she was far away, it could be seen that she was a girl with a good face.
Darcy recognized at a glance that the lady mentioned by Catherine was Miss Elizabeth Bennett. Thinking that this girl was going to marry a man like Collins, Darcy felt a little pity in his heart.But these are all trivial matters, Darcy suddenly felt that he seemed to pay too much attention to this young lady, so he turned his head and told Catherine her identity lightly.
Catherine let out an 'oh' and nodded knowingly, is this Elizabeth?The heroine in Pride and Prejudice?But it seems that there is no prejudice against Darcy like in the legend?What happened?Catherine had Elizabeth called over.
As Elizabeth got closer, Catherine frowned slightly. This girl was wearing a maroon dress. Fair skin was a good choice, but the skirt was too long, and because it was a muddy road after the rain, hers did not. Pulling up the corner of the skirt a little, caused the hem of the skirt to be covered with thick mud, and she seemed to come out very early, and the dew had already wetted her skirt, plus some messy hair, the skin of the beautiful face looked The clothes are also extraordinarily rough... Catherine felt that she couldn't bear to look directly at it.Such a good girl, how can she make herself so... messy?
"Ma'am!" Elizabeth came over and bowed to Catherine.She was a little surprised. She didn't expect that Mrs. Catherine, who was two years younger than her father, would be so young. Her face was extremely fair, with almost no wrinkles except the corners of her eyes. Her skin was smooth and fair. She looked about the same age as Jane, even younger than her. Jane is more beautiful and has a lot more charm.Like a bright pearl, everyone couldn't help but fix their eyes on her.
Catherine nodded and didn't mention the reason for calling her here. When she saw that her nephew was no different from this lady's arrival, she just asked: "The morning air in Pemberley is very fresh, but Miss Bennett, do you know what's wrong?" Is it a good view?"
"Everywhere in Bloomberg is so exquisite. As long as the wife looks carefully, you will find that everything here is really beautiful." When Elizabeth asked the question, she felt a little disappointed. The eye that finds beauty' is exactly what this lady once said!
Catherine paused after hearing the words, nodded and said, "It's really beautiful, but I can find this kind of beauty in other places, so I want to ask Miss, is there anything special about your place?" It's almost the same, whether it's Rosings or the countryside in Bloomberg, it's the same scene, nothing new, isn't it?Looking directly at Catherine, I didn't expect Elizabeth to speak so bluntly.She really is a girl with personality.
The author has something to say: As soon as she wrote about Elizabeth, she suddenly couldn’t stop. In Catherine’s opinion, she was not suitable for Darcy, and she was not suitable for being the hostess of a large manor, because she disdains hypocrisy by nature, and she is not suitable for nobles. Dissatisfied with extravagant life, but she is a very real lady with personality.
Now Darcy's attention to Elizabeth is just because she is different, not love, so don't worry, I will find him a good wife.
Of course Elizabeth would have a decent marriage too, but it wouldn't be Collins...
Darcy frowned. This maid was given to Georgiana by Aunt Catherine. He would not doubt the loyalty of this maid. Although he didn't know the relationship between this Mr. Collins Bennett and Mr. Bennett here, Thinking that he had been received by Aunt Catherine, he was invited in.
