[Pride and Prejudice] Second Marriage

"It's much warmer here than my brother's study." Mrs. Griffey sat down on Juliet's left.

"Thank you for your hospitality." Juliet said sincerely, remembering the burning fireplace.

"Oh, I don't say this to ask for your thanks, Miss Stocker," Mrs. Griffey joked with a smile. "Maybe I'm just to get a better reception when I go to Bradley next time." .”

Juliet didn't expect that the shy and cute girl Georgiana in the original book was actually so talkative, she was obviously a little taken aback, but she still responded gracefully, "It's really an honor for Bradley's rose to be liked by Mrs. Griffey, Flowers match beauty, only in this way will it not be useless."

"Stop complimenting me!" Mrs. Griffey smiled. "Call me Georgiana."

Her hazel eyes were beautiful, very pure.

"Juliet." Juliet put the book in her hand aside, opened her eyes slightly to Mrs. Griffey, and smiled.

Juliet knew that her smile was very pleasing, because she used this trick to change Earl Wendell's favoritism countless times.

Sure enough, when Mrs. Griffey spoke again, her tone was a little gentle, "Oh, Juliet, you are still a child. It's so nice to see you," she sighed sadly, "It's so carefree to be a girl." consider."

Juliet found it very interesting, and felt that it was her duty to remind her that she would be there soon, "Georgianna," she paused, as if she felt a little embarrassed for calling out Mrs. Griffey's name so confidently, "You also You may not be much older than me, but you are a lucky girl who got married before!"

"But when you're married, you have a lot more things to worry about!"

"Oh?" Juliet looked at her serious and competitive appearance, and dragged out her tone, "I thought that after getting married, I only need to worry about how to eat so that the other party doesn't like it, but I like it very much. thing……"

"Oh! That's one of the things that need to be considered." She suddenly lowered her voice and asked seriously, "Honey, tell me, what kind of man do you want to marry in the future? The right family? Or because of sincere love? "

"My God, that sounds like a hard choice at first glance," laughed Juliet. "Are you frightening a poor unmarried girl? Look at yourself, Georgiana, and I know it's not such a difficult problem." question."

"Oh?"

"It's not two opposing choices," Juliet explained.

"You look like a child, but you don't think so. You are much more stable than I imagined." Mrs. Griffey sighed, "But what if the reality is the opposite? Nothing is perfect in the world."

Juliet smiled, "It seems that you have to let me make a choice before you let it go! I may give you an answer that will disappoint you. I always believe that equality is the guarantee of marriage. Must match, habits and hobbies must be very harmonious, identity, property and status equal, no one looks down on the other. Oh, as a priest said: 'For a happy marriage, the family must be equal'. At least I will not Looking for trouble, the most important thing is that I will not let poor Earl Wendell feel sad because I chose a person with a disparity in status!" After she finished speaking, she blinked her eyes and quickly curled the corners of her mouth, giving a sly smile, " Will it annoy you?"

Mrs. Griffey just remembered that the amazingly beautiful girl in front of her was also a countess with a prominent family background, but it was strange. Such realistic words did not make her feel disgusted, but instead made Mrs. Griffey think that she With a childlike "innocence".It was a strange experience.

"Nobody's going to hate you, my dear," Mrs. Griffey smiled.Although the thoughts in her mind were a little confused at the moment, Lizzie's words, Darcy's words, and Juliet's words made the heart of this happy and ignorant woman confused, but she was determined to listen to other people's opinions.

Perhaps dear Nick?Mrs. Reynolds?Or Lizzie?

Darcy quietly moved away from the door. He didn't do such a disgraceful act on purpose. He felt that his attitude hurt his caring sister more or less. In addition, he was a little reluctant at the moment that Georgiana was indoctrinated by Elizabeth again. Some immature thoughts, so he followed her downstairs, and after watching her step into the reading room, he was about to turn around and go back to the study room, but after hearing his dear sister ask that question, his steps slowed down a bit shoot.

"It seems that I really asked for it..." Darcy murmured twice, with a mocking smile on his face.

A marriage held together by true love.Darcy was once so proud of his courage to take this step, breaking the conventional system, this marriage that was formed because of emotion rather than interest, made him feel how noble he is, yes, he has done emotion In the struggle against reason, emotions severely overwhelmed reason and gained the upper hand, but reality slapped him hard, and at this moment he felt that he was really crazy at that time.

He did not deny that he loved that country girl, Elizabeth Bennett. He still missed the lively eyes of the second lady of the Bennett family, her witty ironic self-deprecation, and her clever face.

But it was unbelievable that the charm that once drove him crazy, fascinated him, and fascinated him suddenly dissipated in less than a year, on a certain morning when he woke up.

His brain cleared up.

As a decent person with a calm appearance and full of feelings in his heart, Darcy feels ashamed and ashamed of his actions and thoughts.He forced himself to weigh as little as possible the in-laws he had married impulsively with a sane eye, and tried to ignore all the troubles and dislikes caused by a hateful brother-in-law-now he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.George Wickham has paid the price for his adulterous crimes. For the rest of his life, he will live in bed covered in sores, painful and confused, unable to make trouble anymore, as long as his wife can be safe with him To live on—and meanwhile, though his enthusiasm had subsided, he still allowed himself to respect his wife's character and character objectively.Although he found that their hobbies and ideas are so different, although he is willing to appreciate the lively tunes of the country, it does not mean that he can only show praise to it forever. Minor tunes are so unpopular.But it doesn't matter, he can still maintain a decent husband and wife relationship with Mrs. Darcy.

But the problem is that Mrs. Darcy's character is so delicate and sensitive that she can see a little something wrong, and her lovely ironic self-mockery before marriage becomes a little less cute, or a little bit bitter day by day. mean.Darcy could even notice that she was no longer the confident Elizabeth who was wearing simple muslin clothes. She had unknowingly become a little inferior, a little demanding, demanding of herself and others.

All because this marriage changed a lovely girl.

Darcy felt very sad and sorry for the way things turned out, but this feeling of regret could not make him fall in love with such and such Mrs. Darcy, so all kinds of complicated emotions were mixed together, tortured him.

His married life has become so difficult, and on top of that, he still lacks an heir.He decided that although he could not be a husband who loved his wife, he was determined to be a responsible husband.When both of them have calmed down and figured it out, they can be a marriage ally, fulfill the obligations between husband and wife, and give birth to an heir who is capable of taking responsibility.

He was right to think so, but he couldn't get his wife to agree with him on the subject.

This is an urgent problem to be solved at present.

Lady Elizabeth Darcy excused her headache from attending breakfast.Thinking of all the current situations that made her unhappy, she had a thought of escaping, as if hiding in the warm and soft big bed in the bedroom, she was happy.

At the moment she is leaning on the fluffy pillow to read her latest favorite book.It is about a son of a duke with a great future, but because of the increasingly heavy family burden, he has no choice but to choose an improper marriage, marrying the daughter of a merchant with a rich family but a low status.From tit-for-tat due to various prejudices, they understand each other and love each other.

This lengthy novel continues until the rich merchant's daughter dies of illness, and the duke's son refuses to remarry, "I have only one heart, which belongs to my venerable wife, whose youthful vigor has been lost by her passing. The only thing I regret is that I married her because of profit. This is probably God’s punishment for my impure intentions, and let me live alone for the rest of my life without her, like a sculpture without emotion. Go down. Gods in the sky! If you will hear my prayer, I will give away this ten thousand wealth, so that she will open those bright eyes and let me be happy in her gaze. Oh, I would rather be poor And happy life, do not want to live rich and worry."

When Mrs. Griffey knocked on the door, Mrs. Darcy happened to see the inner confession of the hero at the end.She hastily pulled the handkerchief at her hand to wipe away the tears she was moved, and hummed, "Please come in."

"Hey, Lizzie, maybe you need a glass of milk? How is your headache?" Mrs. Griffey carefully looked at her face, and carefully placed the glass in her hand on the bedside.

"Oh, thank you. Much better. Probably because I haven't slept well recently." Elizabeth was still stuck in the storyline just now.

Therefore, her eye sockets are red, and her thick eyelashes are black and bright because of the wetness of tears. In addition, her unmodified face and unkempt curly hair are a little haggard, which makes her look amorous and sad at the moment.

Mrs. Griffey immediately misunderstood, thinking of what Darcy said in the study, she comforted softly with some guilt, "Honey, a man often ignores his wife because of busy affairs, don't be sad, they gradually Then you will realize how boring life is without a gentle and agreeable wife.”

Elizabeth felt a stab in her heart, because all kinds of self-pity produced by the happiness of the novel compared with her grievance in reality made her straighten up immediately, and she replied sharply, "Is it because I lack a dowry of [-] pounds? Does that complicate matters at Pemberley?"
