Jane still wanted to talk to Andrea again, so as to find out about Mr. Bingley, but Andrea didn't want to deal with this lady at all now, and she was in a very disturbed mood now.Anyone who finds himself time-traveling into a book will not be in a good mood, especially this book is not Andrea's favorite, and she seems to be not mentioned in this book at all Role.

Andrea hastily ended the conversation with Jane, then poured herself a glass of wine and hid in the corner.Andrea thought, what is this, she is living in a book, what is this, what is she, what is her family?Are they all fake?Is she even a fake now?

No, it's all real, everyone around here is real, and she's all real, there's not even a hint of fakery in it.But no matter how she thought about it, Andrea was still in a terrible mood. She wished she had never discovered the truth, not at all.

After drinking a whole glass of wine, Andrea looked up at the crowd in the ballroom. Mr. Darcy was chatting with several gentlemen, Mr. Bingley and Miss Bingley were standing together talking and laughing with several ladies, and Jane followed her. My aunt and a lady were walking up and down the ballroom.These are just characters, Andrea thought, and she knew the future fate of these three people, whether it was funny or ridiculous.

Andrea read the book "Pride and Prejudice" when she was in junior high school. She never really believed in the love story of a sparrow turning into a phoenix. Definitely will not read this book.Andrea doesn't remember many things in the book, only some main characters and events. If Andrea remembers correctly, Mr. Bingley and Jane will get back together after this meeting in London up.But looking at Bentley's current state, it seems that he has no intention of reconciling at all.

After chatting with Georgiana for a long time, Maria saw that her sister was not by Mr. Bingley's side, so she looked around the ballroom, and finally saw Andrea sitting on the sofa in a corner.Maria ran over to sit next to Andrea and asked, "Annie, why are you hiding here alone? Why don't you go and talk to Mr. Bingley?"

"I'm just a little dizzy. There are too many people here, and the air is a bit stuffy." Andrea said with a smile.

"Do you want me to accompany you to the yard to get some fresh air? I heard that the back garden here is also very beautiful." Maria suggested.

"It's better not to go, it's snowing outside. I said I'm going to dance soon, but I promised Mr. Bingley to dance the first dance. And I'm much better now." Andrea rubbed her face , Suppressing the chaotic thoughts in my mind.

"Okay then, let me talk to you."

"No, I'll go to Mr. Bingley after sitting down for a while. You can go and play with Georgiana."

"Then I'll go, Annie, and tell me if you feel uncomfortable." Seeing that Andrea's face was fine, Maria thought that nothing would happen, so she went to find Georgiana. After all, she was still young, and it was her first time Come to this kind of high-society ball, you are curious about everything, and you can hardly sit still.

Andrea struggled with herself for a while, and finally decided not to take the story in her memory seriously. The Bennet family has nothing to do with her. As for Mr. Bingley, she does have some affection and will try her best to get close, but The result does not need to be taken too seriously, after all, her affection for Mr. Bingley has not reached the point where she likes it.

The ball was about to start, the Viscount walked to a wall next to the living room, and asked the servant to open a door on the wall, revealing the magnificent room inside, "Everyone, this is the ballroom tonight, please come in !"

Andrea walked in with everyone, and soon began to marvel at the luxury of this ballroom.This ballroom is very large, about a hundred square meters. The roof is painted with murals of angels flying among the clouds. There is a huge crystal chandelier hanging in the middle of the roof, and the crystal pendant on it has been falling into the midair of the room.The floor of the room was covered with blue marble, and the four corners of the three walls were carved with complicated patterns, the patterns were painted with gold lacquer, and a dozen or so dancing fairies were painted on each wall.

"It's so beautiful here, Miss Andrea, what do you think?" Mr. Darcy stood next to Andrea at some point, and said while looking at Andrea.

"Yes, this is simply beautiful. I think this crystal chandelier alone is worth a lot." Andrea said, it was a real crystal chandelier, and she could guarantee that if the chandelier fell, it would be enough Killed half of the people in the dance hall, it can be seen how many crystals it took to make it.

"It is said that it took fifty thousand pounds to make this lamp," said Mr. Darcy in a low voice.

"Really, [-] pounds, my God, this is really extravagant." Andrea covered her mouth and exclaimed in a low voice.Mr. Darcy is said to have an annual income of nearly ten thousand pounds, which should be considered a lot in the whole of Great Britain. To buy such a lamp, a rich man like Mr. Darcy would have to live without food or drink for five years. How extravagant it must be to hang this lamp in a dance hall in another village!

"It's really surprising enough." Mr. Bingley walked over with a smile. He glanced at Mr. Darcy and said, "Darcy, a lieutenant general just asked me about Georgiana. I miss you." Be careful."

Mr. Darcy frowned, and looked in the direction of Georgiana reflexively, and saw a gentleman who was about his age, maybe older than him, chatting with Georgiana. "It's him?"

"Yes, Lieutenant General Green. He is 32 years old this year. He is the second son of the Green family. He joined the army at the age of 16. He used to have a lover, but the other party married the opponent of the Green family the second year after he joined the army. Family. I heard that Lieutenant General Green had a scene when he became a major, and he never had contact with any young lady until he became a lieutenant general." Mr. Bingley turned his head and whispered to Darcy that he had just been short-lived. What I inquired about in the ten or so minutes.

Although Mr. Bingley's voice was low, Andrea, who was standing very close to the two of them, heard it. She looked in the direction of Mr. Darcy's line of sight just now, and saw Georgiana lowering her head slightly and talking to a tall man. Handsome gentleman chatting.

"Excuse me." Mr. Darcy said, nodded to Andrea and walked towards Georgiana. Looking at his back, he didn't seem very happy.

"Oh, Darcy is a bit overprotective. Georgiana is already 16 years old, enough to deal with suitors by herself." Mr. Bingley said with a sigh.

"Mr. Bingley, don't you think there is a big age gap between that gentleman and Georgiana? He's even older than Mr. Darcy. I'm afraid it's inappropriate." Andrea said, that Mr. Green is older than George Anna has been older for 16 years. If he had married earlier, the child would probably be about the same age as Georgiana, and the other party is a soldier, who looks very mature, and Georgiana is a very shy little girl. The two seem to have no relationship. what common language.

"It's indeed a bit bigger, but we must give the other party the opportunity to pursue Georgiana. Well, Miss Ferguson, this is not something you should worry about, just leave it to Darcy, let's go dancing. "Mr. Bingley said that in his opinion, age is not a problem at all. Mr. Hursto is almost 20 years older than Mrs. Hursto. Although he is a mediocre man and likes to drink and gamble, he is still very good to Mrs. Hursto. of.

The music started and the first dance started. Andrea danced and turned her head to see Jane who was staring at the motionless. She immediately looked back at Mr. Bingley. Mr. Bingley didn't seem to notice anyone After seeing, perhaps noticing, but not wanting to respond to Miss Bennet's eyes, she just stepped on the dance steps seriously.

While chatting casually with Mr. Bingley, Andrea didn't forget to observe Jane's expression. Sure enough, the smile on Jane's face became more forced later on. If it wasn't in the ballroom, this lady would probably cry sadly. stand up.But Mr. Bingley's complexion is getting worse and worse when Jane sees it, and he looks very unhappy.

After the first dance, Mr. Bingley said that he wanted to go to the lounge for a rest, so he walked out. Andrea saw Jane following him, and the two entered the lounge together.Andrea was curious about what they would say at the ball, but instead of walking over, she walked up to Maria.

Since Georgiana was taken away by Lieutenant General Green to speak, Maria had to sit alone, but she didn't look bored, but looked at everyone at the ball with great interest.

"Maria, what are you doing, no sir invited you to dance?"

"Yes, but I think it's good to sit here, Anne, look at how beautifully these ladies are dressed, I want to take a good look now, remember the appearance of these skirts and jewelry, and I can wait until I get home Tell mom and Luisa." Maria said with a smile.

"You are always good at observation, but since you are going to the ball, you should still dance. Come on, let's go to Mr. Darcy and ask him to introduce you to a gentleman to dance with you." Andrea pulled Maria's hand said and walked in the direction of Mr. Darcy.

Mr. Darcy is chatting with Mr. Green. This gentleman does seem to have some interest in Georgiana, so he treats Mr. Darcy with special enthusiasm, but Mr. Darcy can be sure that Mr. Green's real character is definitely not as enthusiastic as he is showing now network.

Georgiana stood beside Mr. Darcy. She was actually a little afraid of Mr. Green, because he was taller than Mr. Darcy. Standing beside Georgiana gave her a sense of oppression, and Mr. Green's enthusiastic attitude also made Georgiana A little scared, after being cheated by Wickham a few years ago, she had an instinctive feeling of distrust towards the man who wanted to pursue her.The arrival of Andrea and Maria made Georgiana breathe a sigh of relief, and she immediately took Maria's hand and stayed away from some Mr. Green.

"Miss Ferguson, what's the matter?" Mr. Darcy looked at Andrea and asked.

Andrea smiled and took La Maria's hand, and said, "Maria is a little bored sitting alone, so I will pull her over to chat with Georgiana."

Mr. Darcy understood what Andrea meant at a glance. He hoped that he could help Maria find a dance partner. After all, most of the gentlemen here are people of status, and they would not just choose a lady they don't know to dance. .

"I think there are still many gentlemen who are free in the ballroom and hope to find a lady to dance with. My friend is worried that there are too many dances recently, so he has not found a female partner. If the lady is willing, I can introduce my friend to come over. ’” Mr. Green interjected immediately.

"Thank you very much, sir. I think my sister would be happy to dance with your friend." Andrea said, looking at Mr. Green.
