[Pride and Prejudice] The right match

Balls are a necessity of country life.Even a proud lady like Mrs. Catherine is willing to appreciate the lives of those common people. The ordinary and noisy country dance has a special flavor, and, in such a place full of common people, Mrs. Catherine can show her differences. Come.

Mr. Darcy eventually uses Georgiana to get rid of Miss de Bourgh.The reason he said also made it impossible for Lady Catherine to refute, "You are the closest person to Cousin de Baoer."

However, even so, Mrs. Catherine is not ready to let Mr. Darcy go easily. Mr. Darcy is destined to marry his own daughter and must not be confused by other women.As the aunt of Mr. Darcy, Mrs. Catherine thinks she has the responsibility to let her nephew see clearly what kind of choice is the most correct.

The ball started, and the guests came one after another.Lady Catherine considered herself noble, so she arrived late in a carriage.Unlike Countess Wilde, who has long been obsessed with country life, she prefers to arrive early and chat with those people on the field. There is little difference.

Louisa and Ann followed Mrs. Wilde, and they naturally arrived at the dance venue early.Both ladies were popular, but unfortunately neither was interested in the attentions of the men.Luisa naturally knew why she was alienated from the politeness of men, but An was the same as herself, so it was worth pondering.

"Ann?" Louisa raised her eyebrows and squinted at her friend, trying to see if there was anything unusual, but An didn't give her a chance. She took Louisa's hand and said, "Look, Mr. Darcy. Who are those mother-daughter pair beside him?"

Louisa thought about the news in the town recently, and said, "It seems to be Mr. Darcy's aunt and her daughter, whose surname is De Baoer."

Ann exaggeratedly lowered her voice: "Mr. Darcy's aunt, I know her! She used to be the wife of a duke, very proud and not very popular. And..." Ann frowned, glanced at Louisa, a little hesitant Do you want to continue talking.

Luisa already had a certain awareness of information collection. Seeing An's expression like this, she smiled and encouraged: "What? Ann, tell me quickly, I'm really curious."

An Bian pursed her lips. Although the upper class sometimes expressed their dislike for a certain character in a subtle way, they would not ignore some things that happened to them because of that dislike.Life is already too boring, and it would be too boring without those gossips to adjust.Ann only knew a little bit about the rumors about Mrs. Catherine: "Well, I also heard from my mother that this Mrs. Catherine wanted to marry Mr. Darcy and that Miss de Bourgh, so that the two families would marry each other. It is a good idea. It is a pity that, although Miss de Bourgh has a good family background, she is weak, unkind, and unattractive. In my opinion, Mr. Darcy would not have met You wouldn't marry her either. This gentleman is spoiled by the ladies of high society. I don't think he would sacrifice his marriage for a huge fortune."

Although Louisa didn't say anything because of her love for Mr. Darcy, she agreed with Ann's words in her heart. This gentleman is spoiled, and he would never like an ordinary or even ugly woman.Louisa sighed, and she didn't know whether her appearance was a good thing or a bad thing when she provoked Mr. Darcy.

Mr. Darcy was always proud of his skill at spotting Louisa in a crowd.This time, he saw Ann talking to Louisa, and he could clearly feel that Ann was talking about his aunt.Mr. Darcy was a little anxious. Although he had thought that if he couldn't find a woman he liked, he could marry Cousin De Bowie so that he could take care of her by himself, but that was before he met Louisa. .Mr. Darcy didn't think that his aunt would hide her own intentions well. If Louisa knew about this and misunderstood it, it would be bad.

He stared at Louisa, trying to get a message across.But the younger sister beside her walked away uncooperatively. Compared with her old-fashioned brother, Georgiana preferred to play with Luisa.She walked happily to where Louisa was, but Mr. Darcy was in trouble.

Mrs. Catherine is very good at stitching things together. After Georgiana left, she quickly handed over her daughter to Mr. Darcy: "Darcy, take care of your cousin, okay?"

Can Mr. Darcy say no?What excuse would he have for refusing a poor sickly lady?He didn't, so he could only silently bow to Lady Catherine docilely, and then, Miss de Bourg took his arm shyly.The young lady's pale face, which had been somewhat yellowed due to her long illness, even began to turn a light pink.

"Hey! Georgiana!" Ann looked at this scene angrily, and asked Georgiana who had just arrived in front of them, "What's the matter with Mr. Darcy?"

Georgiana turned her head in confusion, seeing such an ambiguous scene.Mr. Darcy has always kept a straight face, making it impossible to see the difference between his mood and his anger. It is rare to see him being held by a petite lady, which makes people feel that this pair of men and women are very close.

Georgiana frowned. She didn't have much contact with Miss de Baoer, but after these days of contact, she didn't want her brother to have such a wife.Luisa is the good sister-in-law in her mind, gentle but strong, beautiful and able to chat with herself, such a woman will definitely make her very happy to be her sister-in-law.Of course, the brother likes Luisa is the most important thing.

She thought of her strong aunt Catherine, and explained: "Louisa, you must not be angry! That is my aunt's daughter, Miss de Bowie, although...but you are the only one my brother admires!"

Louisa had always trusted Mr. Darcy, and when Georgiana said this, her face blushed.He just gave Georgiana a hard look and stopped talking.

Although Louisa believed in Mr. Darcy, Aunt Wilde, who had been injured in her marriage, did not believe it.

Aunt Wilde is a hedonist, she likes to feel the so-called love, and believes that there is a long-lasting true love in the world.But at the same time, she also believes that feelings are fragile and are the easiest to die young.She understands and accepts the first love of those boys and girls, and she believes that this kind of love will be more lasting and moving, so she encourages Louisa to accept Mr. Darcy's admiration.

In the eyes of Aunt Wilde, Mr. Darcy is a gentleman with a good family education. Although his family background is not prominent enough, old Mr. Darcy is a man of great vision. He knows how to marry a noble wife, know how to buy land, and more Know how to let your children receive gentleman education and lady education.In this way, even if Mr. Darcy does not have a title, his status in the upper class of London will not be too embarrassing.

And Mr. Darcy, who has received a gentleman's education, seems to have become more rigid and serious under the guidance of his rigid mother.But I have to admit that such a man is more attractive.He will not squander his limited emotions indiscriminately, watch the chaotic love history in the upper class with a cold eye, and never deceive the feelings of young girls frivolously. Countess Wilde believes that such a man is very responsible and can entrust Louisa.

However, if a person with a sense of responsibility is faced with the demands of his elders, will he also easily compromise?Countess Wilde wasn't sure.When she saw the intimacy between Mr. Darcy and Miss de Bourgh, she frowned fiercely.

Lady Catherine's reputation in the upper class is not very good, she is arrogant, arrogant, and rude, but she is Mr. Darcy's elder.Mrs. Catherine's plan is unknown to many people in the upper circles, but she doesn't seem to care about her daughter's reputation, and the news gradually fades away. If Mr. Darcy and their mother and daughter were not seen today, Wilde The countess probably couldn't remember the incident.

She had to ask clearly, Luisa couldn't be deceived by a man like herself.

Mr. Darcy knows very well what kind of disturbances will be caused by the arrival of his aunt. He knows his aunt very well. She always loves high-profile, but it is always out of time.He frowned and looked around, only to find that his sister was chatting happily with Louisa and the others, and no one noticed him.

He was a little frustrated.

"Cousin Darcy, aren't we going to dance?" Miss de Bowle lowered her eyes and raised her eyelids to peek at Mr. Darcy from time to time. Her slightly tightened arms could also show her nervousness.She didn't like dancing very much, especially the dances of these low people, but if it was dancing with Cousin Darcy, she would like to.

Darcy raised his left hand, which was not held, slightly covered his lips, and then returned to normal, replied: "No, you are not in good health."

Although Miss de Bowie was very happy that Mr. Darcy cared about her body, she hoped to have the first dance with Mr. Darcy. She pursed her lips with some dissatisfaction, and felt a little a little bit about those damn family doctors in her heart. very angry.If it weren't for their incompetence, their bodies would have recovered long ago.She jerked her feet a little, and followed Mr. Darcy to the men and women on the dance floor with a stern face.From a distance, it looks like two angry men and women have been forcibly joined together, the previous harmony has long since disappeared.

Couples of men and women began to enter the dance floor one after another. After seeing Georgiana and Ann being invited to leave one after another, Mr. Darcy became a little anxious.He didn't want the all-important first dance, Louisa, to be dancing with someone else.He let go of Mademoiselle de Bourgh's hand, apologized, and started towards Louisa.

"Cousin! I want to dance too!" Miss de Baoer held Mr. Darcy back. Because of her nervousness, her voice was not disguised as before in front of Mr. Darcy, but rather shrill.And the command tone she always carried in her speech was unconsciously revealed.

Mr. Darcy frowned.

Miss de Baoer has never been a nice lady with a good temper. She was spoiled by her mother and grew up, so how could she give in to others again and again?She held her head high, like her mother: "Cousin Darcy, I want to dance."
