Pride and Prejudice accident

London in spring is completely different from that in winter. At this time, the trees and flower beds on both sides of the street are full of flowers, and people walk on the road in brightly colored light clothes, and everything is full of vitality.Andrea and Maria leaned in front of the carriage window, looking at the scenery on the side of the road, while observing the fashions on the ladies in London, guessing what fashionable skirt styles will be popular this year.

"Dear brother, it seems that you have to spend a small amount of money recently. You can see how enthusiastically your two little daughters are discussing the fashion styles of clothes this year. You must prepare at least one set for each of them this year. A skirt made of popular fabric." Mr. Richard looked at his two nieces and said to Mr. Ferguson with a smile.

Mr. Ferguson pretended to sigh, and said: "Oh, money can't help being spent. I only made a fortune, and I'm going to spend another fortune."

"Dad, you earn more than you spend." Andrea said.

"Yeah, so I have to buy you dresses, and you better remember your mother's and sister's measurements, because I have to buy them a dress or two, too."

"Of course, Dad." Andrea said happily, no one would refuse new clothes.

Mrs. Molly Ferguson was sitting by the window of the upstairs living room, with a satisfied smile on her face, sewing the little clothes worn by the baby in her hand. While chatting with her eldest daughter, she glanced out of the window from time to time , to see if Mr. Richard is back.

Diana Ferguson is the eldest daughter of Mr. Richard. She just turned 20 years old this year. She is a very beautiful lady. She is helping Mrs. Molly sew the baby's socks, and seeing her mother is a little anxious He said, "Mom, the doctor said that you should keep calm and not be anxious."

"How can I not be in a hurry. I finally got pregnant with this child. It is very likely that this is your younger brother. This is the most important thing in the whole family. I am anxious to make your father happy." Mrs. Molly said , touched his stomach with one hand.

Two days ago, Mrs. Molly suddenly felt nauseous while eating, and then the nausea began to get out of control. Except for some hot and sour food, once other foods were put in front of her, she would feel nauseous.Mrs. Molly thought she had a stomach problem, so she asked a doctor to check, and found that she was pregnant again after many years. Mrs. Molly firmly believed that she must be pregnant with a son, because their family now has three It's a daughter, and it would be too much to have another one, so this time it must be a son, otherwise why would she still be pregnant!

Diana shook her head. Although she knew that the family needed a younger brother, she also hoped that Mrs. Molly would be pregnant with a boy this time, but this kind of thing is uncertain after all, so she wouldn't hold out too much hope. To avoid the disappointment of being born a younger sister in the future.

"Mom, but no matter how anxious you are, Dad won't know. You might as well sit on the sofa and rest for a while. You can't be tired."

"Come on, sewing is not physical work, so I won't be tired, I'd better stay here and watch the passing carriages!" Mrs. Molly said, her eyes habitually looked out of the window, and then she saw their carriage It drove over, and then quickly stopped at the door of the house.

"Your father is back, let's go down to meet him." Mrs. Molly stood up and straightened her hair and said.

Diana leaned over and glanced at the window, and said, "Uncle, Andrea, and cousin Maria are also here."

"Really, that's great. There just happens to be a dance tonight, and your two cousins ​​can go with us." Mrs. Molly said with a smile, walking quickly and cautiously downstairs.

"Molly, Diana, come and meet us, this time we have made a big deal." Mr. Richard saw his wife and eldest daughter running downstairs in a hurry, laughing loudly Said.

"I also have some good news for you, Richard." Mrs. Molly and Mr. Ferguson greeted each other and said, holding Mr. Richard's arm.

"What good news do you have?" Mr. Richard looked at his wife puzzled and asked.

"I am pregnant, dear husband," announced Mrs. Molly, in a tone of surprise.

"Oh, really? Honey, really?" Mr. Richard looked at Mrs. Molly's stomach in surprise and asked repeatedly.

"Of course it's true. How can I lie to you," said Mrs. Molly.

"That's really good news. Louisa is also pregnant. Our Ferguson family will definitely be prosperous this year." Mr. Richard said with a big smile.

"Auntie, I really congratulate you, this time it will definitely be a little brother." Andrea said.

Yes, auntie, it must be my brother this time. "Maria also echoed and said that Mr. Richard's desire for a boy is known by the whole family. This time Mrs. Molly is pregnant, and everyone naturally hopes that she is pregnant with a boy.

Because of this series of good news, everyone had a happy lunch, and then began to prepare for the evening dance.The host of the ball was a Mr. Laurent. He was the biggest business partner that Mr. Richard could get in touch with. There are often some new nobles here.

This ball will be the biggest ball Maria has attended since entering the social circle, so everyone is very cautious. They dressed up early in the morning, and drove to Laurent's house in a carriage just after dark.

Mr. Darcy looked at the lively scene in the ballroom with his wine glass in his hand, but he was calculating in his heart how to finish the work at hand as soon as possible and then leave Mayfair, London, so as to pay a formal visit to Ferguson's house.The letter he wrote last time seemed to have annoyed Andrea a little, which made Andrea reprimand him a few words in the letter. Although Andrea still expressed her miss in the end, Mr. Darcy still I feel that I should give Andrea those few carefully selected gifts from the East to ask for her forgiveness and favor.

"Fitzwilliam, since you are here at the ball, don't put on such an uninterested face. You can find many buyers here for your goods from the East. You should go and chat with those merchants instead of sitting This corner." Mr. Bingley came over and patted Mr. Darcy on the shoulder and said.

"The ball hasn't officially started yet, and I have the freedom not to chat until then." Mr. Darcy said, leaning on the back of the sofa, resting his chin on one hand.

"Fitzwilliam, please don't use this kind of pensive posture. Look how many ladies here are attracted to you. Now that you have Miss Ferguson, leave the other good girls to me. "Mr. Bingley pouted and said, because he had just lost a relationship, he didn't seize the opportunity to pursue Andrea in time, but he didn't expect that Darcy would take advantage of the loophole in the end. This really made Mr. Bingley dissatisfied.However, he still understood the truth that a friend's wife should not be bullied. Since Darcy told Mr. Bingley about his relationship with Andrea a few days ago, Mr. Bingley began to find a good lady and planned to start a new relationship.

"I thought you had a good relationship with that Miss Simpson recently, so she is not your target?" Mr. Darcy said.

"No, what I'm looking for is a lover, not a business partner. Obviously, Miss Simpson..."

Mr. Bingley's words were suddenly interrupted. Mr. Darcy looked up at Mr. Bingley inexplicably, and saw that he was looking at the entrance of the ballroom with a grim expression. Mr. Darcy followed Mr. Bingley's eyes and saw Jane walking with Mr. Campbell on his arm. He came in, and behind him was Elizabeth, and behind him was Wickham who was leading Lydia. Mr. Darcy's face also turned dark.

Elizabeth was a little unhappy, because Wickham started to ignore her intentionally or unintentionally. This should have made Elizabeth happy, because she now likes Mr. Darcy, so naturally she doesn't want to have a relationship with Wickham. Contact more to avoid any misunderstanding.However, Elizabeth had always disliked those men who pursued her. This was the first time she encountered someone who gave up on her before she explicitly refused to pursue her. This made Elizabeth feel a little embarrassed.

What made Elizabeth even more angry was that after Wickham was indifferent to her, he turned around and was with Lydia. Elizabeth saw them going in and out of Gardiner's house intimately every day, and Lydia often stayed with her. Looking at Wickham in a proud and protesting manner, Elizabeth felt a tightness in her chest.If Lydia wasn't her sister, she would have ridiculed her, but the other party was her sister. As a sister, Elizabeth didn't want to quarrel with her again, so she had to face Lidia with a mean face every day. ya.

Elizabeth looked around the ballroom boredly, she didn't seem to know anyone here except her family, but she didn't want to go back to her family now, so she wanted to find a corner to stay, and then she saw sitting in the corner Mr. Darcy.A sweet smile appeared on Elizabeth's face. Holding her skirt, she walked through most of the ballroom through the crowd, and finally came to Mr. Darcy's side.

"Mr. Darcy, long time no see. I'm so glad to see you here." Elizabeth said with a smile.

Mr. Darcy turned his head and saw Elizabeth. He frowned and said alienatedly, "Good evening, Miss Bennet."

Elizabeth raised her eyebrows, feeling a little angry at Mr. Darcy's arrogance, but she was already used to his arrogance, so she sat on the sofa beside Mr. Darcy and said, "When I left Hansford Didn't have time to see Miss Darcy, is she all right?"

"Yes." Mr. Darcy turned his head helplessly and replied.

"I have to apologize for some of my views on Mr. Wickham before. Obviously, I was blinded by some things." Elizabeth said after considering the topic.

"What made Miss Bennet discover her mistake? You firmly believed that he was a respectable person at the beginning." Mr. Darcy snorted and said.

Elizabeth pursed her lower lip, and finally restrained her anger, and said a little bluntly: "Some recent events have made me see clearly what he is like."

Mr. Darcy squinted at Wickham, who was talking and laughing with Lydia in the distance, and said, "Does this mean that this gentleman started to be with your sister?"

"Mr. Darcy, Colonel Fitzwilliam said there are some things he would not say without your consent, so I hope you will tell me about Mr. Wickham," said Elizabeth.

Mr. Darcy looked at Elizabeth in disbelief. He didn't understand why the lady asked why she knew that she couldn't speak out casually. He looked at Elizabeth displeased, and was about to stand up and leave the place.

"Fitzwilliam, what a coincidence that you are here." The first thing Andrea saw after entering the ballroom was Mr. Bingley. When Mr. Bingley helped her point out the location of Mr. Darcy, she saw Darcy The husband seemed to have a good chat with Elizabeth, which made her instantly angry. After all, no one wanted his boyfriend to be with his former crush, and this crush was his future wife in another time and space.So Andrea immediately walked over and greeted Mr. Darcy very intimately.

"Annie, why have you come to London?" Mr. Darcy asked happily. He was thinking about going to Mayfair to find Andrea quickly, and Andrea appeared in front of him the next moment. There is nothing more gratifying than this.

"I'm here to play. My father is there. Are you going to meet him?" Andrea said, pointing to Mr. Ferguson who was already chatting with others on the other side.

"Of course." Mr. Darcy stood up immediately, and without looking at Elizabeth, he apologized and left Andrea on his arm.

Elizabeth sat on the sofa in a daze. She didn't understand why Andrea and Mr. Darcy suddenly became so close. Mr. Darcy liked her before, didn't he?He also saved her from the mad horse, why didn't he want to look at her just now?
