After dinner, Andrea and Maria promised Mrs. Ferguson and Edward that they would come to Grosvenor Street on Christmas, and reluctantly left in the carriage.At this time, it was already dark, and there was warm orange light from the windows of the houses on both sides of the road. There was laughter in the house, and Maria couldn't help but her eyes turned red, "Sister, I miss my parents, and Louis. Sha and Xiao Qiao are gone!"

"Why are you crying? Didn't it take you a long time before you went to school to see your parents?" Andrea looked at Maria who started to wipe her tears in a funny way. In fact, she was also a little homesick. After all, this Or is it the first time she has left home so far since she traveled here!

"That's different, I always have something to do at school and a lot of people have left home like me. It's almost Christmas and I'm starting to feel bad about not being able to spend it with my parents." Maria pouted and said that Christmas should be a day for family reunion, but this year she couldn't spend it with her family because she wanted to see Georgiana. Maria felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.

"There's nothing wrong with staying at my uncle's house. Isn't Edward and I still here? Edward is younger than you, and he won't even cry about it." Andrea took out a handkerchief and wiped it for Maria. Wipe away tears.

"But he is a boy, and he is also the heir, so of course he needs to be stronger."

"Then you think about Georgiana, she only spends every year with Mr Darcy, but can you imagine Mr Darcy smiling when he sees the Christmas tree and the Christmas presents? I think the possibility of that is too small. So How lucky you are, even if you don't celebrate Christmas at your own home, you can still have a happy holiday, and Georgiana may only hope that she will marry a husband who likes to laugh in the future." Andrea With a straight face and raised chin, he acted out Mr. Darcy's usual expression and said to Maria.

Maria couldn't help laughing, with obvious tears on her face.She immediately noticed that she had lost her composure, and felt that crying and laughing was really stupid, so she turned her eyes around and looked at Andrea and said, "Andrea, what my aunt said to you just now is really wrong. heard them all."

"What?"

"Mr. Darcy would be a good husband."

"Maria, you have learned badly, how can you say such a thing!" Andrea patted the cushion vigorously, looking angrily.

"But sister, if it weren't for Mr. Darcy having a lady he likes, I also think that Mr. Darcy is a good candidate. Although he has a straight face all day long and is a little arrogant, just like you said, Darcy Underneath his stern face is a gentleman." Maria said seriously with one elbow resting on the car window and her chin resting on her wrist.

"Mr. Darcy is too rich. Even if he doesn't have a lady he likes, I don't want to go up to him. Compared to Mr. Bingley, I like Mr. Bingley better. Although this gentleman always has his eyes on the beautiful lady, he treats the ordinary The young lady is still polite. The most important thing is that this gentleman is really a good-tempered person, such a person will always make his wife feel more relaxed as a husband." Andrea thought of Mr. Bingley who smiled brightly, The mood is better, Mr. Bingley's personality is very pleasing, although relatively speaking as a man, his personality is too gentle.

"But his two sisters are really disliked. Speaking of which, Mr. Bingley is also a businessman, but those two always put on a dignified aristocratic posture, although they are indeed very polite when they are happy. Good. And I heard Joanna tell me that Mrs. Hursto and her husband are almost like living in Mr. Bingley's house. Although Mr. Hursto has a relatively noble status, it is a pity that the whole person is doing nothing. In addition to drinking and sleeping all day long, the family should have no property at all. Joanna said that she once eavesdropped on the chatting of the servants at home, and said that it seemed that Mr. and Mrs. Hurst depended on Mr. Bingley for support. But Haosto Mrs. Stowe seems to be superior to others every day, as if Mr. Bingley should take care of her married sister and brother-in-law who have little to do with her life. I think that if Miss Bingley does not marry well in the future, she will probably have to rely on Mr. Bingley to live like her sister. "

Thinking of this, Andrea also felt a little troublesome. With two sisters-in-law like this and her husband being soft-hearted, Mrs. Bingley's life might be difficult in the future.But it also depends on the character of Mrs. Bingley in the future. If she has the same personality as Georgiana or Maria, she will be suppressed by Mrs. Hostow and Miss Bingley, but if she is like Andrea If you have different personalities, there will definitely be a few scuffles. Of course, whether you win or not depends on which one Mr. Bingley loves more.

Seeing Maria staring at her, Andrea immediately shook her head and shook off the redundant thoughts in her mind, and said, "Mr. Horstow is a small nobleman, he should have inherited land, so he should They have a certain amount of income. However, seeing that the Hostess wear silk, satin and gold and silver jewelry every day, it is estimated that Mr. Bingley did not give less help to his sister. As for Miss Bingley, her personality is indeed not very pleasing, but She has a good dowry and is also pretty, I think as long as she doesn't just focus on Mr. Darcy, she can find a husband she likes, and naturally she doesn't have to worry too much about money in the future."

"However, Mr. and Mrs. Hostow are still pestering Mr. Bingley, and Miss Bingley will not relax the slightest pursuit unless Mr. Darcy gets married. This is enough to make me worry about you, Andrea." Mary. Ya made a very worried look, and said while frowning while covering her chest.

Andrea flicked Maria on the forehead unceremoniously. Although she liked Mr. Bingley better, the two were well matched, but Mr. Bingley was obviously looking broken in love now, and he probably wasn't in the mood to start a new relationship right away. love affair.And Andrea also heard from the few words between Miss Bingley and Mrs. Hostow that Mr. Bingley seemed to have pursued a beautiful lady of the wrong family for half a year, but the lady agreed to Mr. Bingley's family background. Bingley's pursuit, but never showed any obvious enthusiasm for Mr. Bingley, so Mr. Bingley planned to come to London to heal his emotional injuries.Of course, Miss Bingley and Mrs. Costa said these things not at all to let Andrea know Mr. Bingley better, but to show that they both intended Georgiana and Mr. Bingley to start a relationship at once, so that their brother would be married immediately Forget the lady who made him sad.

When Andrea and Maria returned to Darcy's house, Georgiana was sitting alone in the living room, dragging her chin and sighing continuously with a frowning look, looking very troubled and sad.

"Joanna, what's wrong with you?" Andrea took off her hat and cloak, walked to Georgiana and sat down, looking at her and asked with concern.

"Miss Bingley came over this afternoon. She showed me a letter. She said that the letter was written by a lady surnamed Bennet, saying that she was coming to London and hoped to visit the Bingley family." Georgiana turned He looked at Andrea and said.

"What does that have to do with you? Why are you unhappy?" Maria sat on the other side of Georgiana and asked strangely.

"Maria, didn't I tell you before that my brother might fall in love with a lady, and that lady's surname is Bennett."

"You mean that it was Mr. Darcy's favorite lady who wrote to Miss Bingley?"

"No, this letter is from the lady's sister. Miss Bingley said that Miss Bennet came to London to help her sister find out whether my brother still likes her sister, and if he finds out that my brother still likes her Her sister, then she will call her sister to London to pester my brother." Georgiana frowned even tighter as she said.

"But since Mr. Darcy likes that lady, and that lady is interested in Mr. Darcy, then this is a good marriage, isn't it?" Andrea asked in confusion. Wouldn't it be better if the two were happy? But is it?

"But Miss Bingley told me that Miss Bennet treated my brother very badly. The reason why she had been pestering my brother when she was in Longbourne was purely because of his wealth. Miss Bingley also said The lady was pestering my brother at the same time as she was messing with a local militia soldier, who was a glib but perfectly good-looking philanderer. And Miss Bingley told me Let's talk about Miss Bennet's family. They all sound embarrassing. The important thing is that I asked about Miss Bennet's family before my brother went out. My brother's evaluation of them is even worse than Miss Bingley's. It's bad. Andrea, Maria, you know how much I hope my brother can find someone he likes as soon as possible, but if that lady is really what Miss Bingley said, I can't agree no matter what. But seeing how my brother mentioned that lady, I know he still likes that Miss Bennet." Georgiana said her eyes were red, although the little girl was a little afraid of her brother , but since she lost her parents when she was very young, she is actually very dependent on Mr. Darcy, so she naturally hopes that Mr. Darcy will have a good wife in the future.

Andrea touched Georgiana's head. Miss Bingley came to say these words. It is estimated that the behavior of Miss Bennet who Mr. Darcy likes is true. Otherwise, a person as proud as Miss Bingley might be It is disdainful to accuse a lady of being dissolute, and at most scold the other party for being rude and rude.But Andrea believed that there must be a lot of water in Miss Bingley's words. After all, the other party was her rival in love. How could Georgiana stop the relationship between Mr. Darcy and Miss Bennet?

"Joanna, to me, you don't have to worry so much. Don't you believe your brother? I think if Miss Bennet and her family really shame the Darcy family, I believe Your brother will definitely not act irrationally because of so-called love."

Georgiana felt that what Andrea said was very reasonable. What Mr. Darcy cared about most was his own home, but she was still a little worried, "but Miss Bingley said that love can make people blind and make people do some crazy things. Behavior."

Andrea thought of Mr. Darcy's stern face, and rolled her eyes towards the roof very indecently, "Joanna, can you imagine your brother with a stern face like a statue doing those crazy things about love?" The behavior of a man? For example, like Romeo, he climbed over the wall and hid under Julia's window sill to recite some sweet love poems!"

Georgiana's worried expression froze, imagining her brother reciting love poems with a straight face, and shook her head vigorously.

Mr. Darcy, who was standing at the door openly and eavesdropping, turned dark when he heard this, and he couldn't help imagining himself acting like Romeo with a stern face. He only felt itching at the root of his teeth and twitching of the veins on his forehead of.In the living room, Georgiana had already laughed because of what she imagined. Mr. Darcy, who was standing at the door, put on his cape again, turned around with a dark face and strode into the night.
