[Pride and Prejudice] The right match

When she reached the living room, Louisa looked up and saw the familiar man.She had marveled at this gentleman's noble demeanor and outstanding appearance more than once, but at this moment, she had to feel the love of God for him again.This is really a very good man, and his posture standing quietly waiting in the hall is also extraordinarily graceful.

"Oh, Mr. Darcy!" Mrs. Wilde was very happy to meet familiar people in the country, and even addressed her with a bit of lightness and casualness.

Darcy returned a respectful salute without being rude: "Countess, Miss Brooke."

Louisa was a little confused. The arrival of Mr. Darcy seemed to break something that had been shrouded between the two of them. When she saw Mr. Darcy's piercing eyes, she almost wanted to dodge for a moment. "What a coincidence, Mr. Darcy."

"Yes! Mr. Darcy! It's been a long time since we've seen each other! It's unbelievable that the last time we saw each other was at a ball in London, and now we're in the country! Oh, it's a lovely place, isn't it, Mr. Darcy?" Mrs. Wilde was as happy as if she had been released, and English with a London accent popped out of her mouth one by one, very playful.

Darcy glanced at Louisa and nodded: "Yes, this is a good place. I am visiting this time to inform you that Mr. Bingley and I have rented Netherfield Gardens."

Louisa opened her eyes slightly: "Is it Netherfield? That's a good place."

Darcy's stern face suddenly softened a lot: "Yes, I think you will like to come to Netherfield Garden as a guest." Darcy couldn't contain the excitement in his heart. He knew that London had many things waiting for him to deal with, but So what?When a gentleman is immersed in love, you can't expect him to have a shrewd mind. A rational gentleman like him will sometimes be unreasonable.

Thinking of the decision he made immediately when he learned about Louisa's itinerary, Darcy thought with some embarrassment that this lady would never know how much influence she had on him.But he thought proudly, even if every move of this proud Miss Brook touched his heart, so what?As the host of Darcy's family, it is already a remarkable thing for him to be able to soberly restrain himself and make an indifferent gesture in the midst of his fascination with this young lady.

Of course, he didn't realize at all how reckless it was to rashly follow Miss Brooke to settle in Hertfordshire. He only felt that he was extraordinarily shrewd, and he restrained his inner emotions so easily, without missing a single bit of it. trace.

Louisa found that Darcy had returned to his inscrutable expression, and found that this man was really incomprehensible. He was not like those playboys who simply reflected his emotions on his face, but he was not like those secretive ones. Like an unpredictable politician, he is duplicity. If he wants to understand this gentleman, he needs to invest about [-]% of his energy, which is really difficult.Not every lady has the opportunity to start again after choosing the wrong man she wants to understand, and more people may not have the opportunity to come back, even the daughter of the Brooke family.Louisa admits that she is a coward. After taking up the responsibility of the Brook Manor, she has no chance to gamble on her marriage. She would rather choose to bet on business. After all, business can't lie, but people's hearts always is volatile.

Darcy saw his beloved girl start to wander again, half distressed and half funny, this decent lady always let go of her heavy defense in front of her, showing a different face than usual, but this kind of treatment seems to be the closest In the same way as the person she was with, she didn't bring herself the same intimacy. She was still just the trusted partner she was familiar with, and there was nothing more.

Darcy was a little helpless, but said to Mrs. Wilde calmly: "I should leave, Mr. Bingley is still waiting for me in Netherfield Garden. Countess, Netherfield Garden welcomes you and Miss Brooke at any time." visit."

In a short period of time, two waves of rich nobles have come to Hertfordshire. Such news is an excellent after-dinner pastime for those idle housewives.Especially when wealthy bachelors like Mr. Bingley and Mr. Darcy appeared in the second batch of nobles, the housewives headed by Mrs. Bennett in the town boiled.

It has become a universally acknowledged truth that all rich bachelors always want to marry a wife.For Mrs. Bennet, those rich bachelors must be the private property of one of her daughters, so she is full of hostility towards the noble Miss Brooke.Anyone or anything that hinders the daughter's marriage is the enemy of the "mother-in-law".

"Hey, eight servants! These two gentlemen are rich." Mrs. Bennet repeated the news she got to the people around her with relish, as if she was enumerating the wealth of her son-in-law to them, "Mr. Bingley He has an income of four or five thousand pounds a year, and his sister also has a dowry of five thousand pounds. He is really a kind gentleman. I heard that he also added to her sister's dowry. Beautiful, handsome, rich, I have never seen Such a lovely young man."

"Oh, Mr. Darcy is richer. He has a 1-year pension." Compared with Mrs. Bennet's preference for Bingley, the one who spoke obviously liked Mr. Darcy more.

Mrs. Bennet thought of Mr. Darcy's posture, although he was tall and noble, but she couldn't stop Mrs. Bennet from seeing his arrogance in his eyes: "He is a beautiful rich man , even better-looking than a Bentley. It's strange that I don't like him." Maybe I'll like him more when he's an admirer of one of my daughters.

However, Mrs. Bennet had some reluctance to think that Jane and Elizabeth were the only ones who could dance now. Lizzy went to London. No matter how attractive a beautiful girl like Jane was, she could only capture a gentleman.It's a pity that although Lizzy is not as pretty as Jane, and her temper is not as lively as her sister Lydia, she is still a pretty little girl.

Mrs. Bennet remembered the invitation she had received from the countess, who wanted to hold a ball.Thinking of the ball, Mrs. Bennet thought of her little daughters. It was a pity that they were not old enough to enter the ball, and dear Lydia would be very sad to miss such a ball.Thinking that the lively and pleasant Lydia could not attend the ball, Mrs. Bennet's yearning for the ball also dropped a bit.

Mrs. Long suddenly yelled loudly: "My God, I remember that the countess brought four maids and eight servants! Mr. Darcy and Mr. Bingley don't have so many servants. I'm starting to look forward to the open air tomorrow." Prom! It's gonna be the noblest ball I've ever seen! Well, no, I've got to go back and get ready, my two beautiful nieces need to make me look good. Oh, Mrs. Bennett, what a pity, you It is a pity that only Jane, a daughter of the family, can participate."

Mrs. Bennet didn't want Mrs. Long to see through her annoyance, so she could only say loudly: "Then you guessed wrong! I don't want to bring so many children to the ball, they are too popular, when the time comes It will definitely make me very busy. My poor nerves, I must not be able to bear such busyness."

Mrs. Lange thought of the daughters of the Bennett family. Jane and Elizabeth were both quite beautiful. She thought of her two nieces angrily: "Ha, that's really a beautiful thing! But my niece is not bad, Fortunately, I didn't suffer from such a terrible disease as neurasthenia like you."

The Xikeli Garden is well-arranged, expensive drinks, delicious food, arranged in an orderly manner.Each room has its own function, the lounge, the chess and card room, and the dancing hall, all have servants coming and going to provide drinks.The hostess of the ball wore fashionable clothes from London, with exquisite patterns and well-fitting tailoring, showing a different style. This noble lady came and went everywhere, and was very proud of her arrangement.

All those who entered the Xikeli Garden felt the atmosphere of London, luxurious, expensive, and at the forefront of fashion.Those patterns and decorations were things they had heard of but never seen.When everyone saw it, they couldn't help admiring the ingenious thought of the hostess.

As for Miss Brook next to the hostess, they observe her beautiful face and decent manners, even picky people can't help but say that this lady is really a rare lady, with an approachable smile, but will not let People are casual and contemptuous, such a contradictory temperament has added a lot of points to her.

When Mr. Bingley showed up with his unmarried sister, Miss Bingley, and his good friend Darcy, it still inevitably caused a sensation.

These two men are really excellent "son-in-laws". If your daughter can capture their hearts, it will be a very proud thing.

Unfortunately, it didn't take long for everyone to see Mr. Darcy's true colors.Even though he was much better-looking than Mr. Bingley, and had an annuity of ten thousand pounds, [he was proud of others, looked down on others, and could not fawn on him, so he felt disgusted with him. 】

Especially when someone introduced the lady to the man, hoping that he could dance off stage but was rejected, Mrs. Bennett expressed her dissatisfaction with the gentleman even more bluntly.Jane is the most beautiful lady at the ball, but he actually refuses to dance, even with Mr. Bingley's hospitality, that can't stop Mrs. Bennet from being dissatisfied with Darcy.

Mrs. Bennet boasted more than once how accurate she was in seeing people. When she saw Mr. Darcy for the first time, she knew that he was an unpleasant gentleman.
