The first dance ended soon, and Maria happily walked towards her family. Wickham and Lydia came over, "Miss Maria, I never expected you to come to the dance too, no Do you know if I can invite you to the second dance? By the way, this is Lydia Bennet, and she is your age."

Lydia didn't say hello, she took Wickham's hand and looked at Maria unhappily. "George, didn't you say you were going to dance the second dance with me?"

"Lydia, it was because I didn't know that Miss Maria was here. Now that I met, I naturally wanted to dance. When I came to the ball, how could I not dance with my friends I know! Wickham pulled his hand away without a trace, and looked at Maria with a friendly smile.

Maria smiled, and she was extremely unwilling to get close to Wickham, so she shirked and said, "Sorry, Mr. Wickham, I have something to tell my sister that I can't dance with you."

"Oh, that's such a pity, maybe we can have a third dance?" Wickham still didn't give up. Lydia usually looks pretty good except for being a little stupid and simple. At least she is very happy. He is obedient, but it is a pity that he will immediately see the superiority when compared with Maria, so he will not give up pursuing Maria easily.

"Mr. Wickham, don't you have the most suitable dance partner by your side? Why do you want to go far away? I really have something to tell my sister." Maria said.

Wickham was about to say something, but Lydia pulled his arm and said, "George, let's not bother Miss Maria, let's go to Kitty, she seems to have found a good one." Partner." Lydia pointed to Kitty who was standing across the room, chatting with a young gentleman who seemed to be getting on well.

"Then I'll leave first." Maria nodded to the two and walked away quickly.

Wickham was dragged by Lydia to go to Kitty, he thought Maria was upset because he saw him with Lydia, so he looked back in the direction Maria left , thinking that after getting rid of Lydia later, he would go to Maria and explain that he and Lydia were just friends.

However, Wickham's face darkened immediately when he saw Maria sitting next to Andrea, because he saw Mr. Darcy sitting on the other side of Andrea, and the two were very close. It seems that the relationship is extraordinary.Wickham gritted his teeth with hatred. He felt that he and Darcy were natural enemies. He finally found an officer in Longbourn to do it. Darcy went to Longbourne to rob Elizabeth from him, and now he left It was abominable that Longbourn, who had come to London for a dance, could still see Darcy, sitting with the family he was about to approach.

Mr. Darcy was chatting with Andrea about the history of Pemberley Manor, when he suddenly felt that someone was looking at him with unfriendly eyes, he turned his head according to the feeling, and saw Wickham turned and left.Mr. Darcy scowled, for he too felt that Wickham was quite haunted, and wondered how he got into such a ball.

Mr. Darcy has a characteristic when he is very angry, that is, he will blush and have a thick neck. Andrea immediately noticed his strangeness, and immediately asked: "Fitzwilliam, what's wrong with you, are you feeling unwell?"

"It's nothing, it's just a little hot." Mr. Darcy said with his gaze back.

Andrea didn't feel hot, but Mr. Darcy looked really hot. She touched Mr. Darcy's hand casually, and sure enough, her palm was sweaty, and said, "You can't take off your coat, or else Go get some drinks to cool off."

"Well, what would you like to drink?" asked Mr. Darcy.

"Bring me a glass of cider."

After Mr. Darcy left, Andrea immediately grabbed Maria and asked, "What did Wickham want from you just now?"

"He wants to ask me to dance, but the lady next to him doesn't want to." Maria whispered. "That lady's surname is Bennet. I saw Elizabeth Bennet coming too. Are they a family?"

"Regardless of whether it is or not, we'd better not get close to the Bennet's house. Miss Elizabeth Bennet probably doesn't like me very much now. You know that she had some relationship with Fitzwilliam before." Andrea moved closer to Mary Leah whispered in her ear, "Just now I pulled Fitzwilliam away from her."

"I see." Maria nodded.

Mr. Darcy went to get a drink, and met Jane who was looking for oranges at the dining table, because Elizabeth and Jane had told about Mr. Darcy's rescue of her in Hansford, and said that he had fallen in love with Jane now, so Jane I have always felt that Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy are very hopeful to be together. After all, Mr. Darcy's feelings for Elizabeth before Jane still noticed some.So when he saw Mr. Darcy, Jian Jian greeted him happily, "Mr. Darcy, what a coincidence to meet you, and Lizzy is here too, have you seen her?"

"Yes, Miss Bennet, we just met."

"Lixi is very grateful to you for saving her last time, but she hasn't had time to thank you formally, so I don't know when Mr. Darcy will be free. Our family would like to invite you to a dinner party, so we can formally thank you." Jane made an invitation.

"Miss Bennet, anyone who encountered the situation at that time would help, so there is no need to invite me." Mr. Darcy said, then picked up two glasses of wine, turned around and left.

Jane was a little baffled. She thought she had found a good opportunity to match Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth, but Mr. Darcy did not accept it.

"Jane, what did you say to Mr. Darcy?" Elizabeth asked. She had been paying attention to Mr. Darcy, so when she saw that he had finished chatting with Jane, she immediately came over.

"I wanted to invite him to my uncle's house for dinner because he saved you last time, but Mr. Darcy refused. Lissie, I thought you two had friendship with each other." Jane frowned and looked at Elizabeth and said .

"I thought so too, but Mr. Darcy obviously thinks Miss Ferguson is better now." Elizabeth snorted.

"Miss Ferguson, Miss Andrea Ferguson?"

"Yes."

"How is this possible, Lixi, you are a hundred times more beautiful than her, and you are also a hundred times smarter and cuter than her. Any gentleman with eyes will think that you are better than her." Jane said in disbelief.

"Probably because both Mr. Darcy and Miss Darcy felt that Mr. Wickham had done some unforgivable things, and I defended Wickham before, which caused Miss Darcy to get wet and twist her feet." , so Mr. Darcy hates me now." Elizabeth shrugged.

"But you didn't do it on purpose, and you didn't know what happened. It was Mr. Wickham's fault. They shouldn't pass this mistake on to you. And didn't you help find Dar Is Miss West, and almost fell off the horse to die because of it. I thought Mr. Darcy saved you and proved that he likes you, how could he change his mind all of a sudden?"

"Who knows, maybe Miss Ferguson is better than me in some aspects." Elizabeth said.

"It's just that she went to a girls' school. She is better than you in other aspects. If we go to a girls' school without considering the family's income, I can guarantee that you are definitely better than those noble ladies. Li Si, you are the smartest girl I have ever met. I think Mr. Darcy has not recovered from Miss Darcy's injury for a while. When he thinks it over, he will know that you are better than that Miss Ferguson. All right." Jane said, holding Elizabeth's hand.

"Jane, don't be comforted. Good or bad in this world cannot be determined by one's will. I just need to know that I am good." Elizabeth said with her chest up and her chin up, but she believed in her heart that Mr. Darcy would be like See the good and the bad as Jane said.

The second dance started soon, and Mr. Darcy took Andrea onto the dance floor. Next to them were Diana and a gentleman they didn't know, and next to them were Elizabeth and what Andrea had seen before. The gentleman who paid her so much attention.Andrea felt that she was in a bad mood for a moment, because after that they would switch places and exchange partners, and it happened that Mr. Darcy would dance with Elizabeth.Andrea admits that she is too jealous, but she just can't stand Mr. Darcy dancing with Elizabeth. In her eyes, the scene of two people holding hands and dancing together is too intimate.

Soon everyone exchanged partners. When Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth were dancing, the way Elizabeth looked up at Mr. Darcy really shocked Andrea. That is her boyfriend, please keep your eyes on him. How is your own partner?Fortunately, Mr. Darcy's performance satisfied Andrea. He kept his eyes on the ceiling and didn't look at Elizabeth much.

Andrea knew that Mr. Darcy was attracted by Elizabeth's eyes at the beginning in the original book. To be honest, this lady's eyes are very beautiful, and they are really a pair of talking eyes. These eyes can always be perfect It can express the emotions that the master wants to express, just like now, even the normal blinking of those eyes full of emotion seems to be inadvertently winking.

When Mr. Darcy held Andrea's hand and danced again, Andrea asked while getting close to him: "Does Miss Bennet have beautiful eyes?"

Mr. Darcy paused, regretting that when he wrote to Andrea to explain his relationship with Elizabeth, he wrote too clearly the details of his liking for Elizabeth, so that now Andrea must feel that Elizabeth's eyes Still able to attract him.In fact, Mr. Darcy was just aroused some interest because he saw the agility in Elizabeth's eyes that was different from that of ordinary country girls. He has seen many girls with beautiful eyes. I fell in love with anyone with beautiful eyes.

"No matter how beautiful the eyes are, as long as they are full of anger and prejudice, they will not be easy to see." Mr. Darcy said.

"I don't see any anger, I only see love."

"I didn't see anything." Mr. Darcy said innocently.

On the other side, Mr. Bingley was dragged into the lounge by Miss Bingley. Miss Bingley angrily questioned him about the relationship between Mr. Darcy and Andrea. After getting the answer she didn't want, she collapsed and sat on the ground. , She has liked Mr. Darcy since she was a teenager, and she has liked him for more than ten years, but she still got nothing in the end.

Mr. Bingley was taken aback by Miss Bingley's gaffe, he quickly went up to help Miss Bingley, and persuaded: "Caroline, I was afraid to tell you because I was worried that you would be sad, please don't do this, you are not looking for Don't lose your happiness for Darcy, if you don't have the same conditions as Darcy."

Miss Bingley looked at Mr. Bingley with a pale face and asked: "Brother, how can I be inferior to those country girls, first Elizabeth Bennet, the unmannered wild woman, and now Andrea Ferguson, the ugly Ugly woman, why on earth does he like these unappreciated country folks, how can I be inferior to these two people?"

"Caroline, feelings are not determined by identity. Even Darcy didn't know that he would like the country lady. Caroline, you are fine, you will find someone who loves you, don't think about Darcy Are you ready?" said Mr Bingley.

"I've liked him for so many years, but he never gave me another look or said a word to me. I know he doesn't want me to misunderstand, but I'm not reconciled, Charles, I am not reconciled!" Miss Bingley Cried and said in a hoarse voice.

"Caroline, don't cry, don't cry, shall we go home first?" Mr. Bingley saw that the always strong Miss Bingley was crying, and immediately took out his handkerchief to wipe her tears.

Miss Bingley ignored Mr. Bingley's bewilderment. Anyway, there was no one in the lounge. She cried for a full ten minutes before grabbing the handkerchief from Mr. Bingley's hand, wiping her face a few times, and then Very unhappy, he pulled Mr. Bingley away from the ball.
