[Pride and Prejudice] The right match

Elizabeth turned her head and saw Louisa, a little surprised.Countess, such an honorable person would make even a noble and proud lady like Miss Bingley jealous.Elizabeth knew this very well, so she looked at Louisa with a little evasion and restraint. Elizabeth was not so confident, especially when her mother was still making a fool of herself.

Louisa didn't care either, she just nodded slightly to Elizabeth and stood still.Dimly, Louisa heard Elizabeth complain softly to her sister, "Oh, she's just standing there listening to our conversation, this is so rude," her sister Jane Bennett softly comforted Elizabeth. , but the words can no longer be heard clearly.

Louisa understood why Charlotte had described her friend, Elizabeth, as a strange girl.Elizabeth has a maverick personality, but she may not be liked by everyone. She longs to be different from others and wants to be free and unfettered, but the result of her insistence on individuality makes her not so likable in social situations .Louisa dared to say that if Elizabeth didn't have such a pretty face, her popularity might not be much better than Charlotte's before. On the contrary, if Charlotte had the same pretty face as Elizabeth, then she might be It is a character with all aspects, this is the gap between the two people.As she grew older, Louisa admired Charlotte more.

Sometimes it is easy to want individuality, but not everyone has the wisdom to get along with each other.

"Louisa?" Mrs. Wilde came over and was worried when she saw Louisa standing there blankly, "Don't you like this kind of occasion?"

"No, I like it very much. It's just that I remember that Mrs. Bennett should have five children, and her other three children can already enter the social circle. But I didn't see them today." Louisa explained.She was very impressed with the Bennetts.

Mrs. Wilde put down the wine glass in her hand and shook her fan hastily. The scent of sandalwood calmed her down a bit: "My God, that was a disaster. Please don't mention the Bennett family. Mrs. Bennett's third daughter is a Nerds, bad treble and stuffy music playing can easily ruin my prom. As for her fourth and youngest daughters, I really don't understand why the older sister is messing around with the younger sister, they are there all day like An uneducated wild girl, who even played with men. I must say that refusing Mrs. Bennet's three daughters to be present was the most correct decision I have ever made. If it weren't for her excellent eldest and second daughters, I would even I want to refuse their family to attend."

It was the first time Louisa saw her aunt expressing her disgust so emotionally, so those Miss Bennetts should be really hard to like.Louisa sighed, thinking of their mother, she felt that the marriage of this family would become a problem.

After having a good night, Mrs. Bennet still stayed in the Seackley Garden until the morning before reluctantly leaving.If it wasn't for the ugly countenance of Countess Wilde, she almost wanted to go forward and invite the rich lady of London to hold another banquet.The lady only cared about the ball, and she had never cared so much about what other people thought.

Charlotte has already left early, she is the eldest daughter in the family, and she needs to take care of family affairs when no one is pursuing her.She is a very capable woman. No matter who she is, if she is lucky enough to marry her, this man must be a very happy man.

Soon, this man appeared.

On the carriage to Hertfordshire the next day, Mr. Madden appeared.You may remember Mr. Marden, the shrewd client who came to this town to give himself a holiday.The business of the factory was already on the right track, and Mr. Madden didn't need to keep an eye on it every day.After hearing the news that Mr. Darcy wanted to come to Hertfordshire, he also sent out an invitation to accompany him.Mr. Darcy was a good associate, and Mr. Madden had known him for many years, and there was nothing unseemly in the company of the two.

In this way, more people are traveling together.Mr. Darcy, Colonel Fitzwilliam, Mr. Darcy's cousin, Mr. Bingley, Mr. Madden, and the only lady of them all, Miss Bingley.It's just that Miss Bingley's complexion has not been very good-looking, and the intimate communication she expected with Mr. Darcy just fell through.

What annoyed Miss Bingley the most was that after Mr. Darcy got out of the car, he went to visit Countess Wilde in Seackley Garden first.Don't think she doesn't know who this gentleman really wants to see!But she can only be so angry, and she has no power to stop such a phenomenon.

Mrs. Wilde knows about Louisa and Mr. Darcy. If Mrs. Brook plays the dual roles of father and mother, then Mrs. Wilde is more like a pure mother.Louisa was happy to tell Mrs. Wilde something and ask her opinion.Regarding the matter between Louisa and Mr. Darcy, Mrs. Wilde said she was happy to see it come to fruition.

"Oh, dear Mr. Darcy. Have you come to this country town too?" Mrs. Wilde gave Mr. Darcy a warm hug, pretending not to see his eyes looking around.

Mr. Darcy straightened his back and saluted Mrs. Wilde: "Yes, my cousin Colonel Fitzwilliam, my friend Brother Bingley and his sister Miss Bingley, and a Mr Madden arrived at the same time."

Mrs. Wilde raised her eyebrows, motioned for Mr. Darcy to sit down, and then ordered the servants to prepare tea for Mr. Darcy, and then said slowly: "Oh, I know all about it. You can never imagine how much news is passed on in the countryside. Come on, I even know what one of your cousins ​​and that Mr. Madden are worth. I think that Mr. Madden might be more popular than your cousin, don't you think?"

Darcy was silent for a few seconds, and said, "I think so." His cousin, Colonel Fitzwilliam, was the youngest son in the family and did not receive any family property. In the eyes of those wives, he had a fixed income instead. Mr. Madden was more suitable to be their son-in-law.

Seeing Mr. Darcy patiently and anxiously coping with herself, Mrs. Wilde sighed: "Okay, I have sent the maid to call Louisa. Do I not understand the things about you young people? Mr. Darcy, You have to hurry up. I'm not like my sister, she doesn't like you new nobles, especially you who don't even have a noble title. But I know how much energy you have in the church, You have to work harder. Otherwise, Luisa may not be able to wait forever. The entire Brooke family is on her shoulders."

"Darcy?" Louisa was a little surprised when she saw Mr. Darcy. She didn't know that Mr. Darcy rushed to Hertfordshire soon after her.

Mr. Darcy originally wanted to say something to Mrs. Wilde, but when he saw Louisa, he easily forgot everything.He looked at Louisa with a smile: "Miss Brooke, I just arrived in Hertfordshire today."

Luisa raised her eyebrows knowingly: "It's a pity, we just held a dance last night. Otherwise, I could have invited you and your friends." Luisa suddenly realized,

Mr. Darcy thought of his introverted and shy sister, and was a little worried: "Is Georgiana okay?"

Louisa nodded: "She didn't know that you would arrive in Hertfordshire, and now she is visiting Miss Charlotte with Miss Cassidy. She is much stronger than you imagined."

Darcy obviously relaxed a lot. He loves his only sister very much: "When we settle down in Netherfield Garden, there will be a ball. I hope you and the Countess Wilde can enjoy it."

"Of course." Luisa nodded.I am even more puzzled by the choice made by Darcy. He is not like a weak gentleman, and he also has a caring heart for his sisters, but it is such a man who chooses to let that hateful Wickham go.Louisa lowered her eyes and stopped thinking about it. After thinking about it, she was not sure that she would still treat Mr. Darcy calmly.

As for Miss Darcy, who was so concerned by Mr. Darcy, she was playing with Miss Charlotte.Or it can't be said to be a game, they are trying to embroider patterns on the clothes, Charlotte's family does not allow them to spend more pounds on clothes, they will choose to do it by themselves, and the clothes made in this way Although it is not as good-looking as the tailors in the tailor shop, it is not bad to wear on weekdays.

And Miss Darcy and Ann are embroidering patterns with their new friend Charlotte. They have never experienced such a life. Sewing clothes by themselves is like a fantasy for the two rich ladies. strange novelty.But Charlotte doesn't think there is anything to be ashamed of such a poor life. This is her family background, not something she can choose. She frankly shows everything to her friends and runs her own family. It is her pride and pride.Fortunately, although these two ladies are noble and high-class people, they are not as arrogant as Miss Bingley. They embroider with Charlotte--embroidery is one of the compulsory subjects in the lady's course, which is not a big deal. Difficult things - pointing out Charlotte how to embroider more beautiful patterns, telling her the popular colors in London, and even helping her together.The two ladies enjoyed it very much, and they felt that they had helped their dear friends, and it was not so useless.

"Miss Darcy, Miss Cassidy, Miss Lucas." It was Louisa's maid, "Mr Darcy, Mr Bingley, Miss Bingley and their friends, Colonel Fitzwilliam, Mr Marden has arrived Netherfield. Miss Brooke has sent me to inform you."

Georgiana called out happily, "My brother is here, as well as Mr. Bingley and the others! Colonel Fitzwilliam is my cousin, the youngest son of the family. He is very handsome. But I don't know Mr. Madden. "

After hearing this, Charlotte looked at the maid. If Louisa had only come to tell Georgiana on purpose, then she only needed to tell her that Mr. Darcy had arrived, and there was no need to instruct the maid so carefully to reveal the identity of the visitor.

Sure enough, the maid answered, "Mr. Marden used to be a partner of Mr. Darcy, and I heard that he earned a thousand pounds a year. Even more."

Georgiana and Ann didn't care about this. They cared more about whether there would be a grand ball.Charlotte, however, thinks more.

There are not enough decent people in the town, and their good feelings for themselves are not enough to support them to pursue themselves.The current self, although not so ugly, is still an "old girl" who cannot be married.I don't have much time to waste, and the outsiders who arrived in this small town are my best choice.Colonel Fitzwilliam is the youngest son, so it is impossible for him to inherit a huge amount of property. If he wants to return to the upper class, he will never marry a woman like himself. What he needs is greater help.As for Mr. Madden, a businessman, his decent background and shrewd mind might be able to win him a good marriage if he could.

The author has something to say: Charlotte is a smart girl...
