[Pride and Prejudice] The right match

Darcy played with the cards in his hand in silence, occasionally turning his eyes to the center of the dance floor.

The old Earl Fox took the cards in his hand, shook them towards the dance floor, and said, "What? Can't even such a beauty impress you?"

Darcy withdrew his gaze and said coldly, "I'm not sure."

The old Earl of Fox turned over the cards in his hand indifferently: "King! Well, this is not the card that should appear."

Darcy looked at the cards Earl Fox turned out, not knowing what to write.

As for Louisa, of course she was enjoying her ball.But obviously, not everyone wants her to enjoy it as much as Mrs. Ann and Mrs. Wilde do.This lady in front of her is like this.

This lady is gorgeously dressed, with snow-white skin, full breasts, and a slender waist that seems to be cut off by the corset. Luisa can hardly imagine a woman, a plump woman, who can have such a slender and slender waist. Fantastic waist to come.

Louisa greeted the lady in front of her politely. She remembered that this was a baroness whose husband's family name was White. When Aunt Wilde introduced herself to her, she did not show any enthusiasm.However, it was obvious that Countess Wilde had no intention of explaining to Louisa, so Louisa kept her doubts in her heart.But seeing the menacing appearance of the Baroness White in front of her, Louisa couldn't help looking at the dance floor.Well, dear Aunt Wilde was having a good time dancing with the handsome boys, and Ann was dancing the third dance of the ball with her Mr. Davies.Sighing to herself, Luisa knew it was time to fight alone.

"Oh, Miss Brooke really has a unique aristocratic temperament, and she doesn't even bother to look into the other person's eyes when she is talking to someone. She is such a proud noble lady." With some sarcasm, obvious malice appeared on Mrs. White's round face , under the cover of the gorgeous feather fan, her plump lips were slightly opened, but what she uttered was words that were completely different from her beautiful appearance.

Louisa only felt that she was innocent and ruthless. Looking at Mrs. White, she fell silent.Just sneaking around, she still thought about how long and big Mrs. White's feathers are, and the colors are too messy. If her mother sees herself decorated with feathers like this, she will definitely use her lazy voice to make fun of her despicableness aesthetic.However, such a slender waist will definitely win the praise of my mother. My mother's pursuit of a slender waist has almost reached the point of paranoia. Fortunately, she can still take care of her health rationally, instead of being like the lady in front of her.

Louisa stared blankly at the feathers on Mrs. White's head that swayed from time to time, and suddenly felt that she was no different from those "colleagues" on the dance floor in her previous life.The same heavy makeup, the same beauty, the same love for tit for tat regardless of the occasion.Luisa was a little disappointed, the ball in this life was no different from the nightclub in the previous life.

"Heh, this feather was bought from China. There is an old saying in China that 'goose feathers are sent from thousands of miles'. However, I don't think I should be too demanding on a little girl's Chinese, right?" Baroness White thought Luisa was attracted by her gorgeous feathers, she shook the feathers on her head proudly, the ones from China are always more expensive, and things that are worth showing off, she has never been stingy about letting people see, for For her, the eyes of others who are jealous or envious are the most able to satisfy her heart full of vanity.

Louisa struggled, and looked at Mrs. White's face full of contempt and pride: "'Give a goose feather from a thousand miles, but the gift is light and the affection is heavy.' But, I don’t know who the affection is for you." After finishing speaking, Louisa ignored Mrs. White's suddenly ugly face and walked to the other side of the crowd.

Mrs. White's eyes turned vicious.A lady like her, who really does dirty things, is no cleaner than the women in those brothels.Before she got married, Mrs. White yearned for a luxurious life in wine pools and meat forests, but reality broke her hopes.She married a marquis who only owned a small territory. His ridiculously small appearance was obscene and obscene. If he stripped off his expensive and old-fashioned coat, he was not much nobler than those vagrants in Gypsy.Just because I don't have a noble background, I can only sell my marriage like this.

Mrs. White stroked the feather decoration on her head coldly. Yes, Baron White couldn't afford such an expensive item, but so what?You own it, don't you?She stared at Louisa who was not far away with jealous eyes, hum, a noble and beautiful noble girl, she was as annoying as her mother.

"Recognize your position, Baroness!" Mrs. Wilde's cold voice sounded in her ears.

She withdrew her gaze in a panic, then nodded slightly and said, "I just came here to see these beautiful little girls. This reminds me of my teenage years." After finishing speaking, she quickly walked towards the married couple. Walking to where the woman was standing, the hand holding the fan almost burst out with ugly veins.

After the dance, Louisa was so exhausted that she even started to regret not spending more time in the lounge.Even if there is an unfathomable cold-faced Darcy there, it is better than being spinning like a spinning top all night.

Louisa was the last to leave. She walked towards Mrs. Wilde who was already free, and hugged her: "I am very happy tonight. I think I have to say goodbye to you."

"Oh, my dear, you are exhausted. Go back quickly, my sister must have arranged hot water to relieve your fatigue." Mrs. Wilde returned her a farewell kiss, and looked at the background of Louisa's departure, smiling extraordinarily sincere.She couldn't help thinking of when she was young, and said to herself: "What a beautiful lady."

********

Waking up early in the morning, Luisa looked around at the familiar arrangement and took a deep breath.Well, this is home.

She walked downstairs slowly, preparing to use a wonderful breakfast to soothe her feet that had been tortured all night. She almost felt the malice from "Snow White", and she was the one who was forced to live in her bed. Stepmother dancing on flaming iron shoes.Thinking of Baroness White, Louisa was perfectly satisfied with her witticisms.

However, Mrs. Brooke was not happy to see her so happy.She asked lightly: "The dance is very interesting, isn't it?"

"No." Louisa frowned. "It's a disaster."

She has never been so tired, even as a dancer, she has never experienced such a high-intensity dance. Obviously, Luisa has not learned how to politely and reservedly refuse a man who invites him to dance without embarrassing him. .

Mrs. Brooke was noncommittal about Louisa's statement: "So, are there any men at the ball who are good enough to make you fall in love?

Luisa thought about it, except for the few gentlemen who danced with her, no one could impress her anymore.But among those people, none of them could make her fall in love. She thought about it and replied, "Well... I don't think so."

Mrs. Brook obviously didn't care, and continued to ask: "So, have you made any friends? Or, did you know any news?"

Luisa's face turned ugly, obviously she also realized her mistake: "I'm sorry, Mom."

Mrs. Brook glanced at Louisa tenderly: "Okay, Louisa, you should open your heart and go to the prom, instead of being like those innocent girls who only know how to dance with those handsome men. Prom, yes The best social occasion, you have already wasted an opportunity. No one can stay with you all the time, you need to grow up as soon as possible."

As she spoke, Mrs. Brooke took the napkin from the maid and tidied up her appearance. She stood up and looked at Louisa: "After all, you are already 16 years old, so you should do something for your future. The next banquet , I will arrange a guide for you, the contacts of the Brook family, your aunt and my social circle, all of these will be your capital. I hope you can make good use of them."

Louisa knew that the future Mrs. Brook was referring to was her own marriage.Although there are many single men and women now, and they have the will to stay forever, there will never be Luisa among them.Let's not talk about whether I can keep the huge property of Brook Manor after being single for a long time, but just a widowed mother with an unmarried daughter, those ladies and ladies in the upper class will never be stingy with their rich imagination Force, compile all kinds of peachy information.Networks, relationships, and intricate interests constitute a bizarre upper-class circle. I am already in it, so I should make good use of those capitals, instead of being like a fool, guarding gold and silver, but starving to death beside the wooden door.

However, Luisa smiled wryly, she doesn't expect love, does she?If it weren't for Mrs. Brook's sincere love, I wouldn't even dare to ask for family affection.But last night, why did I still make a superior attitude, judge the pros and cons of everyone, and weigh love and money.That appearance is really ugly and embarrassing.Perhaps, I still have unrealistic expectations. I hope that someone can give me sincere love, just like a lost and regained family relationship.Sure enough, even the old and desperate heart has a pink sprout.

Louisa walked to the other side and looked through the account books left by Mrs. Brooke.
