Pride and Prejudice accident
Chapter 7
Mr. William Collins woke up early this morning and sat in the room in a daze. He didn't even eat breakfast. He didn't understand why he was drinking in the bar last night. Why did he wake up in the morning and become an eighteenth-century priest? An atheist who has never read the Bible or been to church.
There were girls chatting and chatting outside the door. These were the voices of several girls in the Bennet family. The five young ladies in the Bennet family are all very good at talking, even the third young lady, Mary, who looks quiet, can speak well. , especially the last two young ladies cannot live without quarreling, so the Bennet family is full of noise and no peace almost every day.These sounds made Mr. Collins's head swell, but he was extremely unwilling to move, so he just sat on the bed and stared at the mirror opposite the bed.
In the mirror is a tall black-haired young man with a straight hairstyle and a lot of flesh on his face, which makes his whole head look round, but the young man has big eyes and a high nose bridge, so he doesn't look whole The face has only flesh, but according to the eyes of the oriental people, it is a face with blessings.The young man's skin is bronze, and it can be seen that he is often outside. Of course, as a dedicated pastor, he always needs to go out to preach, and he likes to visit others very much, so he is almost outside all day long. waiting.
There was a light knock on the door, and a very crisp girl's voice came from outside the door. Even though her voice was full of reluctance and even a hint of disgust, it couldn't cover up the crispness of her voice. "Mr. Collins, are you coming out to dinner? It's lunch time."
"I'll be right out, Cousin Elizabeth." Mr. Collins rubbed his stomach. He has always been a very optimistic person, so the whole morning is enough for him to remember the past and look forward to the future. In fact, there is nothing wrong with being a pastor Well, at least if you have a stable job, you don't have to be squeezed out by your colleagues because you are too good but have no background, and you don't have to be dumped by your girlfriend because your salary is too low.
Elizabeth outside the door had a stern face. She really didn't want to say a single word to this cousin. As long as she thought that her stupid cousin once wanted to marry her, she felt extremely disgusted. He would never have taken a fancy to a fat, vulgar, stalking priest.
Hearing the heavy footsteps outside the door, Mr. Collins curled his lips. Elizabeth Bennet didn't like him, and he also didn't like this rude and arrogant lady. The woman he wants to marry doesn't have to be beautiful, but must be beautiful. Be considerate and gentle, a lady who is opinionated all day long, rude and arrogant, and has almost nothing but a little wit and a pretty face is not his type.
When Mr. Collins came to the dining room, the Bennets were already sitting at the table, and Lydia was poking the cauliflower with a fork.Except for Mrs. Bennet who had a smile on her face, the Bennet family was either impatient or disgusted, and Miss Bennet was even more sad.Mr. Collins knew that she was sad because of Mr. Bingley's departure, so he looked at Miss Bennet as soon as he sat down and said: "Miss Bennet, I am sorry, but I heard yesterday that the owners of Netherfield Gardens have passed away. Gone, won't Mr. Bingley stay with you for Christmas?"
There was some pain in Jane's eyes immediately, and Mr. Collins squinted at Elizabeth sitting next to him. Sure enough, there was an expression of undisguised anger and disgust on the other side's face.Mr. Collins chuckled in his heart, the Bennet family is really top-notch, he clearly knows that he will inherit the property of the Bennet family in the future, but everyone except Mrs. Putting it on his face, to put it bluntly, didn't he see that Mr. Collins before was a good-tempered and stupid pastor?It's a pity that he is just a narrow-minded man who can't stand it. If the family put on a good face when he came out, he might give them some respect like the previous Mr. Collins, but they didn't have the slightest respect for him, and they didn't respect him at all. Don't expect his respect.
"No, he has business in London." Jane said with a difficult smile.
"Oh, cousin Jane, you have probably heard me talk about the relationship between Mrs. de Bourgh and Mr. Darcy, so I have heard something about Mr. Darcy's friend Mr. Bingley. I heard that Miss Bingley I have always hoped that Mr. Bingley and Miss Darcy would be together. To be honest, they are indeed a match, and Miss Darcy is indeed beautiful and versatile." Mr. Collins said with a smile, cutting the ham on the plate.
"Mr. Collins, you are too hearsay, Mr. Bingley has never said anything about Miss Darcy!" Elizabeth said, throwing down the napkin in her hand unbearably.
"Cousin Elizabeth, I'm just saying that Cousin Jane should be on guard. After all, Miss Darcy and Mr. Bingley are considered the right couple!" Mr. Collins pretended as if he couldn't see the glare from the Bennet family. Said kindly.
"Dad, I'm full, Jane, I have something to tell you, come with me."
Elizabeth stood up with a "swish", and the tableware on the knocking table made a clashing sound, but she didn't care if she embarrassed Mr. Collins, so she pulled Jane and left the restaurant.Mrs. Bennet yelled "My poor nerves", and ran after her crying.
Mr. Collins looked puzzled, and then continued to lower his head to eat, while Kitty and Lydia winked at each other and began to ask Mr. Collins about Miss Darcy.Mary also showed no concern.Mr. Bennet looked at Mr. Collins a few more times, but he didn't say much.
"Jane, don't listen to his nonsense, you have heard a useful word from him, it was all a bunch of disgusting flattery, probably what he said just now was to flatter Mr Bingley and that Miss Darcy, Do you think Miss Darcy could be a pleasant lady with a brother like Mr. Darcy, I reckon she must have her chin up all day, with a face as if everyone owed her hundreds of pounds. Where is she? Comparable to you, Jane, you are so beautiful and gentle, as sweet and lovely as an angel, everyone will be fascinated by you, let alone Mr. Bingley who has fallen in love with you." Elizabeth pulled her red eyes but still endured Jane said, trying not to let the tears flow.
Jane lowered her head and said: "But Miss Bingley's letter really said that she wanted Miss Darcy to be her sister-in-law. Is there anything you don't understand? The whole family hopes to marry Darcy's family. Mr. Bingley is so kind." Easy to talk, he will always listen to his family. And he won't come back all winter, how many things will happen in six months!"
"Jane, my dear, Miss Bingley hopes to marry the Darcy family, but she just thinks it will be easier to get married in the future. It's not like you can't see her feelings for Mr. Darcy, it's all her own wishful thinking .And if you are worried that Mr. Bingley will not come back in London, then you can go to London to find him yourself. I believe that as long as he sees you, Miss Darcy, Miss Cedar will not take another look." Elizabeth said.
"Lixi, what do you mean?" Jane looked at Elizabeth in surprise.
"What I mean is that my uncle and aunt will be more than happy to take you back to London to live for a while after spending Christmas with us. Then you can visit Bingley's house." Elizabeth said with a smile.
"But this is not very good. It doesn't seem very good for me to take the initiative to visit."
"What's wrong, Jane, you are always too reserved, but you have to handle the emotional matters by yourself. You must go to London and show that you care about Mr. Bingley. I think Mr. Bingley will be very happy of."
"Okay, Lizzie, you are always so thoughtful." Jane nodded with a blushing face.
If Jane had acted more proactively and expressed her feelings more clearly before, Mr. Bingley would have been very happy.But now Mr. Bingley still has feelings for Jane in his heart, but after coming to London and seeing more good girls, he feels that Jane is not irreplaceable.Just like Andrea who stands beside him and listens happily to the gentlemen talking about all kinds of interesting things. Although she is not as beautiful as Jane, Mr. Bingley feels very relaxed when he is with her. They have Lots of common hobbies, funny talk, and Andrea never hides her pleasure, or her enjoyment of chatting with Mr. Bingley.
Andrea was talking about horse racing with a gentleman at this time. Although she didn't understand horse racing, she knew a lot about horses because of the horses at home, so they had a very happy chat.Mr. Bingley heard that Andrea was very curious about the horse race, so he said: "Miss Ferguson, if you stay in London for a while, I will invite you to watch the horse race in spring when the horse race begins."
"It depends on whether Mr. Darcy wants me to interrupt until the spring. If he doesn't want to, I have to live at my uncle's house. But my uncle's house is busy with business. I think I will go home before the spring." " Andrea said that the relationship between their family and their uncle's family is pretty good, but they may not see each other once or twice a year, and there are occasional letters.It is already very troublesome for Edward to take care of his uncle and aunt, and Andrea doesn't want to disturb his uncle's house any more.
"No, of course I don't mind the two Miss Ferguson staying here. Joanna will have to wait until the beginning of February until the start of school. I'm very happy that Miss Ferguson and her younger sister can stay in London to accompany Joanna." Mr. Darcy said from Andrea's He came out from behind and said.
Andrea was very happy to hear that, she didn't need to spend any money to live in Darcy's house, she only had to eat and drink with Joanna all day long, and staying for a few more days was considered a pleasure, and she really liked Joanna very much.Andrea smiled and said to Darcy first: "Thank you so much, Maria and I like to drink with Joanna very much."
Mr. Darcy looked at Andrea's smiling eyes and flashed his eyes. He had always thought that Elizabeth was unique, but now he found that there were actually ladies similar to her in the world, but he himself paid too much attention to appearance before. Discover the cute smarts of other seemingly ordinary ladies.But Andrea is indeed a lady who is very charming and unique than Elizabeth. Even though she is not as beautiful as Elizabeth, her smile is very contagious, even if it is because of her informal personality. On the one hand, she will make some actions that are not very ladylike, but people she knows can't hate her.
Seeing Andrea turn her head and start chatting happily with other people again, Mr. Darcy glanced at Maria who was sitting by the piano chatting with Joanna in the distance.According to what Georgiana told him, the Ferguson family is a big country gentleman family. The three daughters in the family have all attended girls' schools. The eldest daughter is married to a priest in Mayfair. Liya's appearance and their family's behavior and character should also be good, so it's not bad to think about Andrea's family background.
Thinking of Mr. Darcy, I thought of Elizabeth again. Although Elizabeth has a bit of a temper, she is indeed a lady with good character. Unfortunately, except for the eldest lady, Jane Bennet, none of her family can be on the stage, if it is not because of this Mr. Darcy never suppressed his feelings, nor persuaded Mr. Bingley to leave Longbourn.
There were girls chatting and chatting outside the door. These were the voices of several girls in the Bennet family. The five young ladies in the Bennet family are all very good at talking, even the third young lady, Mary, who looks quiet, can speak well. , especially the last two young ladies cannot live without quarreling, so the Bennet family is full of noise and no peace almost every day.These sounds made Mr. Collins's head swell, but he was extremely unwilling to move, so he just sat on the bed and stared at the mirror opposite the bed.
