[Pride and Prejudice] The right match

Louisa got into the carriage again.Because Mrs. Brook thinks that in her education, the importance of playmates has been neglected too much.And Mrs. Brook, who values ​​education, quickly took action.

This was the second time that Mrs. Brook took Louisa out to visit, but it was clear that she was still a lady welcomed by the upper class.Mrs. Cassidy, who is visiting this time, is a close friend of Mrs. Brooke. Although she is only a Viscountess now, she has a lovely daughter and a handsome son who are comparable to any wealth and status.Mrs. Cassidy's daughter, Ann Cassidy, was Mrs. Brooke's chosen playmate.

"Oh dear, long time no see. My God, you're still so charming." Mrs. Cassidy was a lovely creature, her round face made her seem very approachable, but her expensive hand-stitched The new clothes, as well as her proud chest, clearly showed her difference.She was unlike anyone Luisa had ever met, warm, happy, and nothing bad seemed to bring a smile off her face.

Mrs. Brooke's slender--to an Englishman's point of view--figure almost collapsed in Mrs. Cassidy's arms.Feeling helpless, Mrs. Brook had no choice but to shout softly: "God, my dear Mrs. Cassidy, you are so enthusiastic. I was almost broken at your door."

"Oh, forgive me for being hard on myself, beauty." Mrs. Cassidy let out an exaggerated and smug laugh after opening the fan to cover half of her face. It was obvious that Mrs. Brooke's words pleased her.

On the other hand, Ann Cassidy also inherited Mrs. Cassidy's cheerfulness, and soon Louisa and Ann played together.The friendship between girls is very strange. Among too many friends, it only takes the first glance to know whether the other party will become your closest friend.

"I like your clothes." The conversation between girls often starts with dressing up, and Ann did not escape this circle.

Louisa winked innocently: "I like my clothes too."

The two looked at each other and smiled. Obviously, the two little girls easily opened the door of friendship.

The topics among girls, no matter ancient or modern, Chinese and foreign, will never leave the word gossip.From Ann's mouth, Louisa learned a lot, for example, which family's lady will enter the social circle this year, which family's girl is pretending to be high-ranking, and which family's girl is worrying because of repeated gaffes. marry.It's hard to imagine that a girl who is about the same age as herself and has not yet entered the social circle can have so much news. Luisa couldn't help feeling the power of gossip.

Not long after the happy time, someone came to disturb.

When receiving the servant's report, Ann's expression turned ugly for a moment.Louisa didn't know why Ann was unhappy, but it was obvious that the behavior of "Mrs. Bingley" was very rude.Generally speaking, it is best to be invited by the host to be a guest at someone's home. Uninvited guests are easy to be despised by others, which is a manifestation of rudeness and lack of family education.When Mrs. Cassis invited her home, there was no reason to invite other people to her home on the same day, unless the other party was also an acquaintance of one of the families.It was obvious that Mrs. Bingley was not among the acquaintances, so it was no wonder that Ann's face turned pale.

"Oh, Ann, long time no see." The woman who came in was not a beauty, unlike Louisa's uniform thinness, her thinness was more aggressive, which made people feel sharp and unpleasant.She raised her chin high, as if she wanted to pierce the roof, her eyes were full of flattery, but it was more of pretended self-esteem.

Maybe she was waiting for Ann's response, but obviously, no one wanted to talk to her.Louisa has such capital, and Ann is the owner of this room.

The woman who was ignored was a little embarrassed, but she, who had a high self-esteem, certainly would not think that she was unpopular. You must know that her family was also considered a new rich.She didn't like Ann's rudeness, but the woman couldn't get angry at her. She, who had never seen Luisa before, thought about it in her heart, with a little familiarity, she let out a sharp smile: "Look who this is, I have never seen Luisa before." Yes. Miss Cassidy, is this your relative from the country?" The pretentious but mean attitude was vividly interpreted by her.

Louisa was a little taken aback, she had never seen such a faux pas.She couldn't help laughing, looked at Ann, and said helplessly, "I didn't know you had relatives from the country, dear Viscountess."

Ann was also pissed off. She only knew about Miss Bingley's power and ridiculous arrogance before. She never knew that a lady could be so disrespectful.She smiled coldly, without looking at Miss Bingley's ugly face, and replied: "My dear Louisa, who has few poor relatives? I don't hate the poor, because I feel pity for them. But I hate those who have lost their manners." Poor people of style and style. Poverty of spirit is often more repulsive than material poverty. Oh, of course, I think with the dignity and wealth of the Brooke family, perhaps there really are no poor relatives who will come to the house uninvited. people envy."

Brook family.Miss Bingley's already ugly face instantly turned livid, and even being humiliated couldn't make her face rosier.

The rise of Miss Bingley's family is the same as those of the new nobles. They all started from trading. They have no land, no manor that has been passed down for hundreds of years, and only one lord.Perhaps witnessing the rise of the family, her confidence swelled infinitely, and she even forgot her mother's warning.Of course, it was difficult for a teenage girl to remember such profound things, and the only thing she could do was treat Miss Cassidy politely.

She remembered that her mother once said to herself that it was most embarrassing for a family like hers to be up and down.Although he started out as a businessman, he can be regarded as a new rich man, but his family background is not rich enough to make people look at him differently. If he really wants to enter the upper class, for Miss Bingley, the only way is to make friends with a noble lady and marry a Aristocratic man, this can be regarded as half a foot into the upper class circle.

My mother once told me some of the most famous surnames in London's high circles, and being able to climb to the Cassidy family with that distant and almost extinct blood relationship also made my mother proud at home for many days.But you know, if it weren't for the fact that the Cassidy family was a viscount, Bingley felt that he could hardly bear Miss Cassidy's neglect and rudeness to him.But today, everything was ruined, and he humiliated Miss Brook's family so impolitely.

Her complexion changed from blue to white, Miss Bingley wanted to do something to save her.She is not a fool, she knows what it means to offend the Brooke family.

Ann doesn't like Bentley. For those who are not recognized by the upper class, ladies in the upper class are always entitled to express their dislike with various casual words and actions.Ann is a simple and direct lady. Even though she is lively and lovely, she can't hide her coolness belonging to the upper class: "Louisa, I think we can go to the garden to enjoy the flowers. But I think our Miss Bingley would be more willing to stay." Here, the pure gold jewelry brought from China is more in line with her taste, isn't it? After all, she is an expert."

Miss Bingley looked at the back of Ann pulling Louisa away easily, and didn't even have the strength to return a curtsy.She leaned against the wall, her eyes were red, and she began to tremble feebly. Finally, there was a trace of flush on her shriveled face that did not belong to a young girl, but it made people feel weird and ugly.

Ann and Luisa in the garden were in a much happier mood.

Ann is a cute girl with a straightforward temper. Thinking of Miss Bingley's trembling body before going out, she almost couldn't breathe from laughing, but when she recovered, she quickly recovered her dignified appearance and looked around. After a while, I breathed a sigh of relief: "Oh my God, no one saw my appearance just now. You don't know how scary my tutor is!"

Sitting down on the floor, Louisa smoothed her skirt, and greeted An with a smile: "No one will see, don't worry, my dear." Thinking of the former Miss Wood, Louisa felt the same way, and quickly put An An at ease.

An happily sat beside Luisa, folded off the blooming flowers beside her, and fiddled with the petals one after another: "Oh, it's really relieved, what do you think, Luisa, my dear? I'm really fed up with her arrogant appearance, do you know why she is so angry? Because her family is most famous for gold jewelry, huh, businessman."

"Businessman?" Luisa was a little puzzled. Brooke's family also ran some businesses, and her mother had already taught her how to manage the manor. Although she still didn't know much about it, she knew whether her family was in business or not.

Ann also noticed Louisa's confusion. In her opinion, Louisa was still too naive, so she patiently explained: "Doing business is different from managing a manor. We nobles don't need to engage in Such a humble industry, for those things, we choose more reliable clients, even stewards. But the Bentley family started as a trader, this is their mark, and it is also the reason why the upper class rejects them." Said, Not knowing what came to mind, Ann wrinkled her nose in distress: "No, not all of them, it can only be said that the Bingley family is not rich enough, after all, some upstarts are very popular. My dear, you must know that the upstarts and the old There are many noble marriages. Well, I don’t even know what I’m going to say, obviously at first I just wanted to express my dislike for that ‘beautiful Miss Bingley’.”

"I received it, Ann." Looking at Ann with sympathy, Louisa could almost imagine the scene where the outspoken Ann tried hard to hide her dislike but failed at Miss Bingley. The child must have been overwhelmed.

Ann rolled her eyes indecently, and pouted her lips: "That's really great. But she won't give up, it's really annoying. Oh, don't look at me so surprised, I hate those damn etiquettes the most, of course Now, in front of outsiders, I will still be the elegant and lively Miss Cassidy, Louisa, I thought you could understand me!"

Helplessly looking at Ann's dissatisfied expression, Louisa sighed, and had to say, even if she rolled her eyes, Ann carried her unique charm: "Honey, I understand you. But we just threw Miss Bingley in Your room is too disrespectful, even if you say no matter how much you don’t want to, I have to say, dear, we should go back, we shouldn’t let ourselves make mistakes because of other people’s mistakes.”

"Oh, God, you are torturing me!" Muttering and complaining, Ann got up obediently, and said full of fighting spirit, "Look, Louisa, I won't be terrified by Miss Bingley. The face is defeated!"
