Pride and Prejudice accident

There is nothing to say about the horse race. The gentlemen and ladies who did not participate in field activities in winter were very excited. The entire racecourse was full of seats, and the race was very lively from the beginning.The usually reserved and quiet ladies were discussing the horses they were looking at enthusiastically, while the gentlemen were arguing about which horse was the best without any scruples.Andrea didn't know how to judge the quality of the horses used in the competition. Even if Mr. Bingley explained the two sides to her, it was of no use. Fortunately, Mr. Darcy guided Andrea with insight. Betting on the horses finally made Andrea a small profit of more than 100 pounds, which was regarded as a small windfall for Andrea.

After the horse racing competition in the morning, everyone dispersed and went to the racetrack in small groups to find a place suitable for picnic and rest.When Andrea and the others went out, they gathered with the two friends of Mr. Darcy and Mr. Bingley, and together they found a meadow by the creek as a resting place.

This picnic consisted of five men and seven women. The five men were Mr. Darcy, Mr. Bingley, Mr. Horstow, Mr. Anthony Robert and Mr. George Watson.Andrea had never met these two gentlemen before. They were about the same age as Darcy and Bingley, and they were both quite handsome men.The seven ladies are sisters Andrea, Georgiana, Miss Bingley, Mrs. Hurst, Miss Emma Robert and Mrs. Audrey Watson.

Miss Emma Robert is Mr. Robert's younger sister. She is 20 years old this year. She has beautiful red hair.Mrs. Watson is Mr. Watson's new wife who just married last year. She is a French beauty with a tall nose. She always speaks with a French accent, which sounds very interesting.

The ladies helped lay out the picnic cloth, arranged the food they brought out, and greeted the men who were walking and chatting next to them, and then sat down and officially started the picnic.Andrea, Maria, and Georgiana were sitting in a corner. The two of them had no idea what the upper-class dinners were going to talk about, while Georgiana was always quiet.Only the other four ladies were talking. Among them, Miss Bingley and Miss Robert were the most active, as if they had endless topics to talk about.

Georgiana approached Andrea and Maria and said: "You wait and see the good show, that Miss Robert and Miss Bingley are old enemies, they both like my brother, but my brother ignores them, So they always bicker among themselves."

"Joanna, there are so many misses who love Mr. Darcy." Maria glanced at Andrea and said to Georgiana.

"Well, my brother has many young ladies who admire him, but he has always looked down on those young ladies." Georgiana sighed helplessly.

"Why don't you like those ladies?" Andrea asked, looking at the two ladies who wanted to be courteous to Mr. Darcy.

"The characters of those ladies are mostly very arrogant. You also know that my brother's character is a bit too arrogant. If you really marry a lady who is as arrogant as him and live together, wouldn't you have to quarrel all day long? So my brother Said he wanted a lady of good character, not like Miss Bingley."

Andrea curled her lips. In the original book, Mr. Darcy really didn't marry a lady like Miss Bingley, but Elizabeth's personality was not much better. In fact, a too paranoid personality is similar to arrogance. It all comes from an excess of ego.Andrea really doesn't know how these two overly egotistical people will spend their lives together. After all, tolerance is essential in a marriage. One must tolerate the other, otherwise the quarrel caused by differences of opinion will not be resolved. And it is impossible for a couple to live their entire lives without quarreling.

"But among so many young ladies, there are always a few with good personalities, right? Why doesn't Mr. Darcy look down on any of them?" Maria asked with her head tilted.

"I don't know about this, maybe I just haven't found what I like. However, I think he will find it soon." Georgiana looked at Andrea sideways and said with a smile. Delia sat on the swing and fell asleep. At that time, my brother looked at Andrea with a very gentle expression.

Andrea didn't notice the way Georgiana looked at her, but only glanced at Mr. Darcy holding the glass.Andrea thought that according to the original book, Mr. Darcy would indeed find someone she likes soon, and she felt a pity for Miss Bingley when she thought about it.Although Miss Bingley's personality is not good, she is a rare straight-tempered lady who shows both happiness and displeasure on her face, and never hides her liking for Mr. Darcy.In order for her love to blossom and bear fruit, Miss Bingley has been working silently. According to Georgiana, Miss Bingley has been working hard for many years, but it is a pity that emotional matters cannot be measured by how much you pay. Mr. Xi fell in love with Elizabeth inexplicably. They didn’t even communicate with each other, and they met only a few times, and most of them were unpleasant meetings. However, Elizabeth’s charm still fascinated Mr. Darcy. Even in the face of being laughed at by relatives and friends in the future, I still want to marry this lady.

Mr. Darcy was chatting with his friends, and when he turned around, he saw Andrea looking at Miss Bingley with regret in her eyes, and then turned to disapproval when she looked at him.Mr. Darcy was a little confused, so he couldn't figure out why Andrea looked at him like that, but he suddenly smelled a scent that was close at hand. He touched his nose, only to realize that he and Miss Robert seemed to be sitting too close. The arms of the two were almost stuck together.

Mr. Darcy remembered that it was Mr. Robert sitting next to him, but in a blink of an eye it became Miss Robert.Mr. Darcy naturally knew that Miss Robert was interested in him, but unfortunately he didn't like the lady who was too enthusiastic and unrestrained, so he pretended to take the beef pudding from the other corner of the tablecloth, stood up naturally and walked over.

However, after taking the pudding, Mr. Darcy did not return to his original seat, but sat next to Georgiana while Miss Bingley and Miss Robert gritted their teeth.Mr. Darcy cut a little pudding with a knife and put it on the empty plate Georgiana handed him in front of him. Then he picked up a fork and poked a little of the pudding. It's delicious, would you like to try it, Miss Ferguson, it is said that special seasoning is used."

Mr. Darcy came over suddenly and sat between Georgiana and Andrea, which made Andrea feel very uncomfortable for a moment, she moved to Maria's side calmly, raised her head But when he came, he saw Mr. Darcy looking at her with a smile in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth, which had always been pursed, were slightly raised at this time, making his smile look a little joking.Andrea felt that her face was hot for a moment, as if she had done something wrong and was caught by Mr. Darcy on the spot, she immediately straightened her back and stopped moving away from Mr. Darcy.

The expression on Mr. Darcy's face remained the same, but he smiled in his heart. He found that Andrea would often suddenly feel shy because of some trivial things, and then would make some small movements that made people laugh, just like how she moved carefully now, This looks really cute.

"Miss Ferguson, do you want to try this pudding?" Mr. Darcy picked up the knife again, cut off a small piece of pudding, and put it on the plate in front of Andrea himself.

This really flattered Andrea, but thinking of Mr. Darcy's playful smile just now, Andrea felt that Mr. Darcy was deliberately making fun of her behavior just now, so she poured it into her cup He took a big glass of fruit juice, took a sip and said, "Thank you Mr. Darcy for your kindness, but I'm a little thirsty, I'll eat later."

Mr. Darcy didn't care about Andrea's refusal. Originally, he didn't know why he cut the pudding for Andrea on a whim. He just thought it was a bit baffling, but thinking about it, it was in line with the purpose of gentlemen serving ladies. Yes, I didn't take it to heart.

However, Miss Bingley and Miss Robert, who were sitting across from Andrea and the others, were very angry and kept scolding Andrea for not knowing what to do.Mr. Darcy's personality is very arrogant. Normally, Miss Bingley and Miss Robert tried their best to curry favor and cater to them, but they may not be able to get a little response from Mr. Darcy. Now, seeing Andrea ignoring Mr. Darcy's hospitality , the mood of these two ladies is really complicated.On the one hand, he hoped that Andrea would always be like this so that Mr. Darcy would hate her, on the other hand, he felt that Andrea's behavior was too much, and he should eat that piece of pudding immediately.

Probably because the eyes of the two ladies staring at the pudding were too straightforward and enthusiastic, which made everyone feel a little embarrassed. Mrs. Watson received her husband's gaze and went to Andrea to take the beef pudding. Put it in front of Miss Bingley and Miss Robert, and said: "If I know that everyone likes our pudding, I will definitely ask the maid to make more. Now I have to divide this one equally."

Miss Bingley and Miss Robert then withdrew their eyes from staring at the pudding on Andrea's plate, but the two of them didn't feel embarrassed at all, instead they started to grab the knife on the plate after looking at each other Come.In the end, Miss Robert was a little better, grabbed the knife quickly, and then cut a large piece for herself on the side where Mr. Darcy was cutting the pudding, and put it on the plate.

Both Mr. Robert and Mr. Bingley felt very helpless about the childish behavior of these two ladies, but they were used to it. As long as Miss Bingley and Miss Robert got together, they would always have endless quarrels over Mr. Darcy. shelf.

Mr. Robert looked at his sister eating pudding while looking at Miss Bingley triumphantly, shook his head helplessly, and said to Mr. Bingley, "I don't know when this situation will end, what do you think?"

Mr. Bingley looked at Andrea, frowned and said, "I don't know, I just want it to end as soon as possible, but..."

But what, Mr. Bingley didn't say anything, he just looked back at Andrea.
