Pride and Prejudice accident

Mr. Collins moved to Lucas's house. Of course, Mrs. Bennet was the most angry. Originally, Mr. Collins was rejected by Elizabeth. Mrs. Bennet wanted to get Mary or Kitty to approach Mr. Collins, but now it is obvious her plan It fell through, and it looked like there would never be that chance.

And the happiest ones are naturally Elizabeth and Miss Lucas.Elizabeth is happy because she doesn't have to see people she hates anymore. Because of her overly paranoid personality, as long as a person dislikes her, staying in the same place with that person will make her feel unbearable Yes, now that Mr. Collins was gone, Elizabeth felt that she breathed much fresher air.Miss Lucas feels that she still has a chance to get close to Mr. Collins. She is really anxious. Mr. Collins is the best husband she can find now. Even if Mr. Collins has been very cold recently, she still needs to work hard. Now, Mr. Collins moved to her house this time, which happened to be a good opportunity for her.

Mr. Collins is not ignorant of the rumors from the outside world. He very much wants to make it clear to everyone that he has no unreasonable thoughts about Miss Lucas. Unfortunately, Miss Lucas has never explicitly expressed any love for him. Therefore, he couldn't stand up with the cheek to explain his feelings to Miss Lucas, so he could only hope to use time to prove that he and Miss Lucas would not have any relationship.

Now that Mr. Collins is living in Lucas's house, those talkative ladies and ladies will undoubtedly find evidence of their previous guesses.Therefore, Mr. Collins moved to Lucas's house in the morning, and in the afternoon, several wives who were on good terms with Mrs. Lucas came over. Most of the conversation with Mrs. Lucas was to ask whether Mr. Collins had already met Miss Lucas. A marriage proposal, or when Mr. Collins intends to marry Miss Lucas, etc.

Mrs. Lucas was quite embarrassed. She naturally hoped that her eldest daughter could marry Mr. Collins, but she also learned from her husband that Mr. Collins was not interested in Miss Lucas. Easy to answer, a wrong word could damage Miss Lucas's reputation.

Mr. Collins did not plan to live in Lucas's house, so he would leave Longbourne after talking with Mr. Lucas for three days. After that, he left Mr. Lucas's study and heard the sound inside when he walked through the living room. Several ladies were chattering and discussing.He stood at the door of the living room listening for a while, and then went upstairs without saying anything, since Miss Lucas deserved better men to pursue her.It's just that most of the rich gentlemen nowadays only value appearance, while most of the poor only value dowry. Few gentlemen will care how much wisdom a lady has.

Mr. Collins is planning to go back to Hertfordshire to get in touch with Mrs. De Bourgh, while Andrea is wondering whether to go home.Edward went home after Christmas, and within a few days, Mayfair sent a letter from Mrs. Ferguson. In the letter, she wrote that all her family members missed the two of them very much. Seeing that Andrea had been crying several times, Mrs. Ferguson hoped that Andrea and Maria could go home early.

Andrea also wants to go home, but every time she thinks that when the spring social season comes, the gentlemen and ladies in London will have a lot of entertainment that is not available in the country. Mr. Bingley and Mr. Darcy promised to take her and Maria to see After a while, Andrea left with some reluctance.Unless she or Maria marries a rich gentleman in the future, they will probably never have the opportunity to see the entertainment of real rich people in their entire lives.So Andrea felt that if she rejected such an opportunity now, she would regret it in the future.

"Annie, let's stay in London for a few more days. I want to see those fun parties that Georgiana mentioned." Maria begged, shaking Andrea's hand after reading the letter.

"I really want to stay, but last time I wrote a letter to my mother, you should write a reply this time." Andrea said as she stuffed the quill pen on the table into Maria's hand.

"But I don't know what to say." Maria took the quill pen hesitantly and said.

"Say what you want to say. I already said it last time. You have to say it this time. You can write here carefully. I will go downstairs to find Georgiana." Andrea put the letter paper on Maria In front of him, he bent his fingers and knocked on the table a few times, then turned around and went downstairs.

After a continuous heavy snowfall in the days of Christmas, the weather has begun to warm up. These days have been sunny, so some of the flowers planted in the back garden of the Darcy family have opened, Georgiana So I moved the easel and stayed in the yard every afternoon to draw.

When Andrea went to the yard, she found that Mr. Darcy, who had been very busy all along, had returned home for the first time, sitting on the swing frame in the yard, with his back straight, holding a cup of coffee in his hand, and looking at him with a gentle expression. Staring forward in a daze.

"Mr. Darcy, good afternoon, didn't you go out to work today?" Andrea walked over and sat on the swing next to Mr. Darcy, holding the swing rope with one hand, leaning her chin on her hand and looking at Mr. Darcy and asked.

Mr. Darcy squinted at Andrea, then nodded slightly, and sat there with his back straight.Andrea felt that he was a little strange, and when she turned her head, she saw Georgiana standing aside and watching Mr. Darcy draw a picture.

"Joanna, are you drawing Mr. Darcy?" Andrea asked.

"Yes, Andrea, you can sit there and don't move, or my brother will definitely salute you." Andrea said while holding the paintbrush and gesturing a few times.

"Okay, I promise I will never disturb Mr. Darcy." Andrea said, while moving and sitting on the other side of the swing, then leaned back on the back of the swing chair, closed her eyes and basked in the sun with peace of mind.

Mr. Darcy kept his arms raised flat, holding a coffee cup in one hand and a spoon in the other. He had maintained this posture for at least an hour. Even though he often exercised his arm strength when practicing swords, Mr. Darcy felt that it was too much for him. , but in order to allow Georgiana to paint with peace of mind, Mr. Darcy kept his posture unchanged.

Mr. Darcy glanced at Andrea out of the corner of his eye, and saw that she was leaning on the swing with her eyes closed and her face peacefully, as if she had fallen asleep. He couldn't help feeling a little amused.Mr. Darcy's hands became more and more sore. He felt that he should divert his attention, so he observed Andrea openly from the corner of his eye.

Andrea is wearing a water-blue skirt today. The skirt is cut to fit perfectly, highlighting her figure.Andrea's sleeping position was very natural. Her two hands were casually placed on her legs, her head was slightly tilted, and only half of her face was exposed.The sun shone on Andrea's profile, above her long, curly eyelashes, and cast a small shadow on her face.

Andrea was not a beauty in the popular sense, but Mr. Darcy had to admit that Andrea, who was asleep now, seemed to have an attractive and quiet beauty, which was far beyond the beauty of simple appearance.Mr. Darcy's eyes stayed on the small shadow cast by Andrea's eyelashes for a few seconds, thinking that this was the first time he saw a lady sleeping in front of outsiders so unguardedly, and then Some wondered whether other ladies would be so quiet and natural when they fell asleep?

Mr. Darcy couldn't help thinking of Elizabeth, thinking of her straight back all the time, and her slightly stubborn pursed mouth, he couldn't help shaking his head, Elizabeth was always full of vitality, she was always lively, even if she When she was sitting quietly reading a book, her eyes and expression were also lively. I am afraid that when she fell asleep, she also had an expression of joy or anger on her face. She should never be as quiet as Andrea.

"Brother, don't move, I'm going to finish the painting soon!" Georgiana shouted slightly dissatisfied.

Mr. Darcy hurriedly put the spoon into the coffee cup, raised his finger to his mouth and made a silent gesture, then pointed to Andrea.Georgiana immediately imitated the zipper movement that Andrea had taught her to zip around her mouth, and then asked Mr. Darcy to return to the original position.Mr. Darcy shook his arms, looked at Georgiana and smiled, then turned to pose,

When chatting after dinner at night, Georgiana said that she had painted a picture for everyone to appreciate, so she dragged everyone into the music room, where Mr. Darcy gave Georgiana a large There is a piano, and most of the paintings on the walls are paintings painted by Georgiana herself.

Georgiana walked to a painting covered with a cloth, smiled and blinked at Andrea before pulling away the cloth covering it, revealing the painting inside.There are two protagonists in this painting, Mr. Darcy, who is drinking coffee in an elegant posture, and Andrea, who is sleeping with his head sideways.Mr. Darcy in the painting is stirring the coffee while looking sideways at Andrea, the corners of his mouth are slightly hooked, and there seems to be a hint of a joking smile.

Andrea's face turned red immediately. She accidentally fell asleep in front of Mr. Darcy in the sun today. When she woke up, she was covered with a blanket, and Mr. Darcy and Georgiana were gone.Andrea didn't feel embarrassed at that time, but now she feels embarrassed immediately after seeing the painting. Why did she fall asleep in front of an unfamiliar man? Fortunately, Mr. Darcy has a very strict mouth and will definitely not take this Say something embarrassing.

"Joanna, how could you draw me in!" Andrea blushed and looked at Georgiana angrily, not daring to look at Mr. Darcy's expression.

"But I was going to draw that swing, and of course I'll draw you as well when you sit there." Georgiana said with a mischievous smile. In fact, she had already basically finished drawing the picture at that time, just It was almost time to modify Mr. Darcy's movements and expressions, but when she saw Andrea and Mr. Darcy sitting together, the picture was very beautiful, so she was tempted to draw it in.
