[Pride and Prejudice] The right match

Salon is a kind of magical activity to better serve those superior people who have nothing to do. It is similar to banquet, but not the same.And Luisa was in such a salon.Although I really don't want to admit it, she is indeed one of those noble women who have nothing to do.However, unlike the tedious preparation of banquets, salons are obviously more leisurely and casual. Luisa visited several salons in this way, and gradually maintained contacts. At the same time, regarding the hidden news of the upper class, Also proficient.

The salon this time was hosted by Viscountess Mir.In the upper class, even if some people scoff at her style, there are still many men and women who follow her in the salon.This lady's style is worthy of her French origin, romantic, passionate and unrestrained, and many people are her guests.She has some unique tempers, which are not to my liking. No matter how rich and powerful you are, you will never get an invitation from her. This kind of temper makes her salon even more famous.To be invited to her salon by such a discerning beauty is something to be proud of in the eyes of the British.

Salons are usually held at night, and men and women chat in groups of twos and threes. I have to say that the salon feels more elegant than the dinner party. The artworks in the hazy atmosphere created by the dim lights seem to bring With a touch of soul, no matter whether it is a man or a woman, they can always speak clearly about these works of art.Of course, there are also some people who comment on some works that may be handed down forever, and then reduce it to dust. If it is a lovely lady, those gentlemen can always smile understandingly and forgive her lovely ignorance.If unfortunately it is a man, then, maybe in the next second, a joke belonging to him will be circulated in the entire social field.

Louisa's artistic taste was well cultivated by Mrs. Brooke, and, even on such occasions, she never showed timidity or ignorance.Art is really mysterious. You can appreciate it, but you don't necessarily like it. Louisa has been raised by Mrs. Brooke a lot, and she doesn't want to make ridiculous things just to show her talent like a peacock. look like.

"Miss Brooke? You like this painting very much?" Darcy walked towards Louisa as if casually, holding a wine glass in his hand.

Louisa glanced at Darcy in surprise, and then replied with a smile: "No, I just think it's a good work."

Viscount Bull, who was surrounded by Louisa before, hurriedly said, "Yes, it's beautiful."

Luisa gave him a strange look in her eyes. This is a good work, but its composition and color give people the impression that it is bitter and depressing rather than sweet.There is no reason why Viscount Bull could not see such an obvious fact, so there can only be one explanation, that is, Viscount Bull has not even seen the picture.Thinking of him standing quietly by her side for a long time, Luisa blushed.

Darcy glanced at Viscount Bull, and the two nodded slightly to each other as acquaintances, but the atmosphere was indescribably awkward.Luisa had no choice but to speak out to break the deadlock: "There is a word guessing game over there, do you want to join?"

"Happy to accompany you." Viscount Bull quickly responded.Compared with his slightly youthful behavior because of his sincerity, Darcy is much more mature and stable.He nodded slightly, turned sideways to make way for Luisa, then looked at Luisa with charming eyes and replied, "My pleasure."

Luisa sighed secretly, and walked to the other side of the living room.

The word guessing game requires two parties to participate, one party acts in pantomime, while the other party is responsible for guessing the word.Each party elects a leader, and the owner of the salon is responsible for preparing the curtain, stage, costumes and props.Their game has been going on for a while, and it can be seen that they are all very excited.

"Hey! Viscount Bull, come and join us, I need young people like you." The person in charge of the guessing party called out to Viscount Bull.

Viscountess Mill, who heard the voice, greeted quickly: "Miss Brooke, Mr. Darcy, you are just in time, we need you just in time."

Hearing this, Viscount Bull's face changed, and he wanted to go to the other side, but he was quickly dragged to the other side's seat.And Louisa and the two were pulled into the small living room on the other side of the living room.

After a while, the bell jingled and the curtain opened.The scene layout is very delicate and beautiful, petals, arches, bright red carpet.

The first thing that appeared in front of everyone was a somewhat fat man. In front of him was a small table with an open book, and he was standing under the arch, which made people easily think of the word church. .Then came the slightly thin figure of Louisa. She was wearing a white dress, and her delicate and three-dimensional facial features showed a bit of sanctity against the backdrop of the clothes.She wore a white veil on her head, a bright rose wreath on her forehead, and a bouquet of lilies in her hand. Obviously, she was playing a bride.Beside her was Mr. Darcy, with a smile on his always serious face. After they looked at each other, they walked towards the table and knelt down.Next, a ritual was quietly staged amidst the petals that the maid worked hard to scatter.

Several people on the guessing side discussed with each other in low voices for a few minutes before announcing loudly: "Wedding."

Mr. Darcy agreed, and after a slight bow the curtain fell on the play.

Louisa breathed a sigh of relief, and walked to the small living room behind the curtain. This was the first time she participated in such a game. Unexpectedly, the show was a wedding, or a wedding with that Mr. Darcy. She couldn't help but blushed, She thought of Mr. Darcy's charming eyes when he was performing, and she had to say that when Mr. Darcy looked at her so intently, she couldn't help but feel a little reverie in her heart.

"Oh, Miss Brooke, your acting skills are really good." Viscountess Mill praised sincerely.

Luisa knew that she didn't mean to make fun of her, but she had to think a lot about what the so-called good acting was talking about.

When Mr. Darcy tidied up his clothes and came out, Louisa was disturbed for a moment.For a woman, there is nothing more touching than a wedding.Louisa has also imagined what it would be like to get married, whether there is a handsome groom, whether her mother will follow behind her with a smile on her face, but she still can't imagine that she is full of love and expectation. The scene of entering the church.The scene just now moved her a little.

Mr. Darcy looked at Louisa, and said with a half-truth: "My bride, you are so beautiful. If you can talk during the performance, when the melodious and melodious voice like an oriole sounds, it is matched with your moving beauty. Here All the gentlemen will be heartbroken."

This kind of joke is not too much, but it is still too easy to be disturbed for Luisa who has just recovered her calm mood.Louisa even had the illusion of hearing a different kind of pride and joy from his words, she pursed her lips slightly: "Mr. What to do with jealousy."

Darcy heard that Louisa didn't want his compliments, and he was stingy with leaving even a trace of ambiguity.There are very few such ladies. In the upper class, even if a lady has no sweet intentions to please her man, she will use ambiguous language and merciful eyes to make people feel her helplessness for the man's bitter love. Support and vague disapproval.This is their usual method. Those women who love vanity are always willing to enjoy one kind of attention or another under the premise of not damaging their reputation.Seeing Louisa's different performances, he darkened his eyes, recalled the gossip about the Brook Manor at that time, and didn't say anything, but stared at the entire living room with cold eyes, and then invited: "It's our turn. "

The identities of the party who guessed the riddle and the party who set the question were swapped. The people who originally set the question sat in the seats in front of the stage. The "newlyweds" Louisa and Mr. Darcy were tacitly set aside by everyone. seat.After everyone was seated, after a long time, the curtain opened again.

This time, it was Earl Bull who appeared. He was wearing red, green and green clothes with a unique flavor. He was wearing a white turban and many accessories on his body, but he looked very handsome. Coordination, as if it should be like this.After a while, a woman dressed as a civilian appeared. The gypsy played by Earl Bull greeted the woman in surprise, and then took out a jewelry box from the robe. The woman looked at the box in surprise, as if It looks like there are accessories that suit her heart.Then it was the two of them asking for advice and bargaining. Although they couldn't speak, the atmosphere between the two of them was easily reminiscent of the word transaction.

Louisa and the Viscountess Mir gathered together, and after discussing for a minute or two, they reached a consensus, and then the Viscountess Mir announced loudly: "Deal."

Earl Bull agreed, and after bowing, the curtain came to an end.Louisa seemed to see Earl Bull looking at herself in the crowd before the curtain fell. Her heart skipped a beat, and she whispered to herself, what kind of luck did she have today.

Mr. Darcy saw that Louisa's complexion was not good, and he was in a gloomy mood for a moment: "You don't like business, do you?" He thought weakly that if Louisa was in a slightly weaker noble family, he wouldn't have to be so cautious. The pride of being aristocrats, the two of them are no less than the other, which is sometimes an obstacle.

Louisa paused slightly, thinking of the situation at home, and then shook her head slightly. She knew that Mr. Darcy had no other intentions, not to mention that she had been in the social circle these days, which dispelled many people's doubts about the economic situation of Brook Manor. Mr. Darcy It's not that I'm being rude, I'm being sensitive. "No, doing business is not something to be despised. On the contrary, I admire those who dare to invest and do business."

The corners of Mr. Darcy's lips curled up in a mocking arc, and he looked straight at Louisa: "Well, you are such a strange lady."

Louisa misunderstood, maybe Mr. Darcy, like herself, was in the upper class, but had a faint distance from the upper class.Although there are some ridiculous insistences in my heart, I am unwilling to include Mr. Darcy in the scope of partner choice, but I have to say that Mr. Darcy is different, the same noble, and even the love and dislike of the upper class in his heart are so similar to each other.Louisa, who has received a systematic lady education, is no longer the Wuxia Amon of the past. In her opinion, in the current upper class society, it is not a noble status that has a character worthy of respect.Many of those people are superficial and ignorant, and some even rush to those vanity and hypocrisy.For business, they take advantage of it while holding a disdainful attitude. This is something that Luisa finds it difficult to understand. They are like a group of blindfolded children who have not learned the customs of the gentry in the Wei and Jin Dynasties of China. Intense integrity, but learned their arrogance and external "strength of character".

She thought Mr. Darcy was different, but he called himself a "queer lady" when he was outspoken and diametrically opposed to high society, which was not a good word to brag about.She was a little angry. Although Mr. Darcy also had a vast estate, his 1 annuity came more from his business, didn't he?Maybe she also misread, Mr. Darcy is no different from those hypocritical people, pretending to be his true thoughts, and despising his own foundation.He was nothing more than that.

Thinking of this, she glanced at Darcy and wanted to leave.Luisa couldn't tell whether the complexity in her heart was disappointment or regret.

The author has something to say: Hmm... misunderstood.

By the way, everyone should be able to clearly see... the eggs have used up all the British surnames, if there are any strange surnames below [Wangtian...

Well... the eggs are back in school...

By the way, let me explain, this game flow comes from "Jane Eyre", um...it makes a lot of sense.
