Pride and Prejudice accident

After sitting in the carriage, Mr. Bingley might feel that his attitude just now was a bit bad, so he started talking about funny things to erase the embarrassment just now.Andrea also felt that she had made a slip of the tongue just now, so she talked and laughed together, and the atmosphere quickly improved.

Mr. Bingley breathed a sigh of relief. Since he knew that Jane had also come to London and wanted to get close to him, his mood was a little fluctuating. On the one hand, Mr. Bingley had already figured out the gap between the two and knew their status. Not suitable.On the other hand, Mr. Bingley really liked Jane to some extent. Jane came to London and visited Bingley's house many times. The meaning was self-evident, and Mr. Bingley felt a little shaken in his heart.But when he thought of Jane throwing down the ring, Mr. Bingley felt some indescribable sadness in his heart.

Although Mr. Bingley is an ambitious young man, he is not a person with great ambitions, so he does not think that he must marry a wife who will benefit his future, but he must marry a wife with a strong mind. Simple Miss.Mr. Bingley knew very well what his own sisters were like. If his wife was too thoughtful, then his future life would not be peaceful.In the past, Jian Jian used his beautiful appearance, coupled with a simple-minded, gentle and kind-hearted appearance, to make Mr. Bingley fall in love with him at the first sight.It's just that Mr. Bingley doesn't know that no matter how simple a person is, once he encounters something related to his own interests, he will become no longer pure.

"Mr. Bingley?" Seeing that Mr. Bingley suddenly started looking out the window in a daze while talking, Andrea called out inexplicably.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I thought of some business matters." Mr. Bingley realized that he was rude for the second time tonight, and immediately smiled apologetically, and then said: "I will be at the Viscount's mansion in a while Yes, I heard that the Viscount specially redecorated the ballroom at home for this year's ball, making it very resplendent."

"Then I'm really honored to see it, thanks to Mr. Bingley, Mr. Darcy, and Georgiana!" Andrea looked at the scenery on the street. There are some large and beautiful houses nearby. I guess several of them will be here tonight.

A dance party was held, the yard was brightly lit and crowded, and dozens of torches were lit at the gate of the yard, illuminating the whole road.From time to time on the road, a carriage passed by their carriage, or turned a corner, or stopped. All the gentlemen, ladies, gentlemen and ladies got out of the carriages in their best attire, and walked towards the beautiful big houses.

"There seems to be a lot of dancing tonight."

"There will be a lot of balls before Christmas, otherwise the ladies won't have time to show off their new winter clothes and jewelry," said Mr. Bingley.

"Is this the only purpose for the ladies to attend the ball? There are still a lot of fun to discover, for example, you can meet some interesting people, talk to them, and hear interesting things from them. Let's say I You can see interesting things, there are always some embarrassing or funny things that happen at every dance party, and these things can be used to relieve boredom when you think about it after the dance party. Of course, another purpose is to develop a friendship or A relationship, or developing some allies, will not be simply wearing a beautiful dress and dancing, otherwise it would be too easy to attend a dance." Andrea said.

A few minutes later, they arrived in front of a rococo-style mansion, where many carriages had parked. The coachmen put torches on their carriages, and then gathered together in groups of twos and threes, laughing happily. with.

When Andrea got off the carriage, Maria ran up to her, took Andrea's hand and said to her ear: "Annie, you are so lucky, I am sitting next to Mr. Darcy. Stuffed to death, I don't know why he doesn't even have a smile on his face when he comes to the dance."

"I thought you should have been chatting with Georgiana all the way, how could you have time to observe Mr. Darcy!" Andrea said, nodding Maria's forehead.

"Georgianna didn't dare to speak too much, and of course I dared not."

"Maria, you should return Andrea to Mr. Bingley, otherwise Mr. Bingley will go into the ballroom alone." Georgiana ran over, took Maria's hand, and pointed to the girl who was talking to Darcy. said Mr. Bingley, who was chatting with Mr.

"I think you should lock up your own brother. He doesn't have a girlfriend tonight." Maria said, but she let go of Andrea, and she and Georgiana got together and followed the others. The lady who was about to enter the ballroom went in.

Andrea was left behind by them, so she had to go to Mr. Bingley, and embarrassedly interrupted the conversation between Mr. Bingley and Mr. Darcy.Mr. Darcy glanced at Andrea, and said to Mr. Bingley: "Charles, I hope you can manage your emotions." Then he turned and left quickly.

Andrea was a little puzzled by Mr. Darcy's look. She looked at Mr. Bingley, and Mr. Bingley shrugged at her, letting Andrea walk towards the gate holding his arm.

In fact, just before Mr. Darcy told Mr. Bingley that he got off the carriage, he seemed to have seen Jane Bennet walk in with her aunt and an unknown lady. Mr. Darcy knew that Mr. Bingley still had feelings for Jane. He has certain feelings, and he also knows that Mr. Bingley is not a person who is good at suppressing his emotions. He is worried that Mr. Bingley will do something rude because he sees Jane later, so he warns Mr. Bingley a few words.As for Mr. Darcy's look at Andrea when he left, it was because Mr. Darcy suddenly realized that there was another reason why he warned Mr. Bingley when he saw Andrea. Mr. was cold and lost face.

This is really an inexplicable worry, and although this kind of worry only accounts for a very small part, it does exist. Mr. Darcy doesn't know why he has this kind of worry, so he is a little angry with himself up.

Jane was really lucky to be able to attend the Viscount's ball. Mrs. Gardiner met a new neighbor Mrs. Lewis last year. The husband of this lady was once a knight bestowed by His Majesty the King. Status, but has been dead for several years.Because this lady was bored in the country, she would come to London every winter to rent a house to relax, and she has a weird personality, and she likes to live in a neighborhood where ordinary people live. She said that it would make her feel more lively, so she moved Arrived next door to Gardiner's house.

Mrs. Lewis is a very lively and hospitable person, so she visited almost all the houses in the entire block, and she was very happy for her neighbors to visit her, but Mrs. Lewis' temper was really not good, so she went to Only a few ladies with very good tempers and personalities visited her, and Mrs. Gardiner was the one who got along best with Mrs. Lewis.

Mrs. Lewis's husband had some relationship with Viscount Anthony, the organizer of the ball, so Mrs. Lewis received the invitation letter for the ball, and it happened that Mrs. Gardiner and Jane were visiting the lady at that time, so this The enthusiastic lady casually invites Mrs. Gardiner and Jane to the ball with her.

Jane is walking up and down behind Mrs. Lewis with Mrs. Gardiner. Jane should be happy to be able to attend a viscount's ball, but at the moment she is a little absent-minded, because once she sees the dress she is wearing, He would think that he was the Miss Darcy he met when he was buying this skirt during the day, and that lady was the most suitable wife for Mr. Bingley in the eyes of Miss Bingley and Mrs. Hurst.

"Jane, do you think that is the Mr. Darcy we saw this morning?" Mrs. Gardiner tugged Jane's arm and asked Mr. Darcy who had just come in from the door.

Jane heard that she looked over and saw Mr. Darcy walking in with a straight face, and happened to see Mr. Bingley and Andrea walking in behind. Andrea was holding Mr. Bingley's arm, and the two seemed to be talking. There is a smile.

"Oh, did we see the lady behind Mr. Darcy this morning? Her male companion is really a handsome man. I thought she and Mr. Darcy were a couple before, but she It is also very suitable for this gentleman." Mrs. Gardiner also saw Mr. Bingley, but she did not know Mr. Bingley, so she said casually.

Seeing Mr. Bingley and Andrea together, Jane already felt heartbroken, and when she heard Mrs. Gardiner say this, her eyes turned red.Jane quickly took out her handkerchief and wiped her eyes, pretending not to hear Mrs. Gardiner's words, she turned her head to look at the other people in the ballroom.

Mrs. Gardiner felt a little strange, but when she was about to ask, she was dragged by Mrs. Lewis to identify someone, so she had no choice but to let go of her doubts.

Mr. Bingley heard the news from Mr. Darcy that Jane might also come to the ball. After entering the ballroom, he searched involuntarily, and soon saw Jane. At this moment, Jane was still the same as before, with a faint smile on her face. Can't see her real emotions.

"Isn't that Miss Bennet? Mr. Bingley, do we need to go over and say hello?" Andrea asked.

"No, you don't need to go there." Mr. Bingley shook his head. He didn't think that he would see Jane so soon, so he was a little overwhelmed now. Of course, he saw Jane smiling like Mr. Bingley every time he saw him. When she looked like this, Mr. Bingley couldn't help feeling even more disappointed.

It was a little while before the ball started. Mr. Bingley and Andrea separated after agreeing to dance the first dance. Andrea looked around in the ballroom and saw Georgiana standing at the piano with Maria. While chatting with the pianist, I wanted to get a glass of wine and go over to chat with them.

But before Andrea had time to go over to get the wine, Jane came over, she looked at Andrea, forced a smile, and said to Andrea: "Miss Ferguson, we met this morning, I don't know if you still remember?"

"Of course I remember, I didn't expect us to meet so soon." Andrea smiled politely.

Jane nodded and said, "I was friends with Miss Bingley before, she never said anything about you, are you new friends?"

"Actually, my sister and I were invited by Miss Darcy. Miss Darcy and Miss Bingley have a good relationship."

"Is that so? I wonder if Miss Bingley has told you about me."

"Yes, a little bit. Miss Bingley told us that Mr. Bingley bought a beautiful manor in Longbourn, and you were their neighbor. And told us that the Bennet ladies were the most famous in the area. Miss Bennet is the prettiest of them all.” Of course, Miss Bingley’s original words were that all the ladies in the Bennet family were the ladies with the worst reputation in Longbourn, and Jane was not just these ladies. One of the most passable-looking ones.

"Really? Miss Bingley's beauty is unmatched by all the ladies in Longbourn. Miss Ferguson, are there only two sisters in your family?"

"No, I have another sister. Miss Bennet seems to have four sisters, doesn't she?"

"Yes, I have four younger sisters, but none of them is as quiet and lovely as your sister Maria. My second sister Elizabeth is very lively and very smart. The third sister, Mary, likes reading books very much. They are all immersed in their studies. The fourth sister, Kitty, and the fifth sister, Lydia, are still little girls, playing carefree and having fun all day long."

"Your second sister is Elizabeth, and your youngest sister is Lydia? Then, do you have a cousin who is a pastor?" Andrea suddenly remembered something when she heard Banner She felt a little familiar when she was talking about the Te family, and now she seemed to have caught something in her mind.

"Yes, Miss Ferguson, how do you know? Do you know my cousin? His name is William Collins, and he has some relationship with Mr. Darcy. He is the pastor of Mr. Darcy's aunt's parish."

"I just heard about this gentleman from my friends, and I don't know him." Andrea said immediately, but she had a certain idea in her heart, but it made her a little unacceptable right away. She always thought that she was just Simple time-traveling, now it seems that I have actually transmigrated into a book, or a character that has never been mentioned in the book.
