[Pride and Prejudice] The right match
Chapter 9
Although he didn't understand the old Earl Fox's intentions, he had to admit that dancing with Darcy was a pleasure.In other words, it is a pleasure to dance with a handsome man, especially when the man is serious and serious, he will have a strange smile that makes people have to try hard to hold back the smile.
"I'm glad to have entertained you, beautiful lady." Darcy looked forward with a calm expression and tightly pursed mouth as the British mocking words sounded.
Hand to hand, Louisa followed Darcy's footsteps in a circle, and couldn't help grinning after hearing this: "Oh, no, Mr. Darcy, I am very happy to dance with you."
Darcy glanced at Louisa quietly and stopped talking.
As for Luisa, she was secretly admiring.Mr. Darcy has a pair of deep and charming black eyes. When he restrains his sharpness and looks at you quietly, you even feel willing to drown in it.Luisa sighed lightly, she thought she knew how such a slow-spoken gentleman attracted so many admirers, not to mention his superb dancing skills, even his gentle manner full of gentlemanly demeanor It's enough to make those little girls who don't know the world intoxicated, not to mention he has such a pair of charming eyes.
"Mr. Darcy, you dance really well." Louisa exclaimed in surprise after a circle.It has to be said that Mr. Darcy has a very high talent in dancing, and dancing with him has the illusion of being cared for.If I hadn't experienced more in my previous life, I would have been fascinated by such a man.
Darcy raised the corners of his lips slightly: "It's an honor to receive your appreciation."
It was just a song, and there was no smile on Darcy's face, as if even the joy of dancing could not relax him at all.After escorting Luisa back to the direction of the female relatives, he nodded slightly to Luisa's smiling face, and walked away with his back straightened.
"Hey, Darcy, you laughed. Then Miss Brooke must be a beauty. You are a picky fellow." Mr. Bingley is a beautiful man, gentle and honest, frank and straightforward.He has great interest in all social activities, dancing and talking with beauties is almost the most wonderful thing in his life.Always simple and warm, he is sure to please people wherever he goes.
Darcy looked slightly at Louisa. Even a picky gentleman like him had to admit that this Miss Brooke was indeed a beauty, but he still made full use of his "picky" talent and found this charming lady It seems a little too lively.Immediately after this defect, he found a few more imperfections in her, but he still had to admit that those defects only made her more attractive to Miss Brooke.He tried hard to become more picky, but he found that this lady made him unable to be picky.But he seemed to be struggling, trying to find out something wrong with this beauty, his paranoia almost made him laugh.
Looking back, Darcy looked at his friend, smiled, and then walked to the lounge beside him.
Bentley screamed strangely: "Oh, Darcy, are you going back to your little lounge again? You know these ladies are waiting for your invitation, your dance is so good! Oh, yes Well, good-bye Darcy, I enjoyed the ball very much. Even if you are my good friend, I must say that at certain times, you are quite a nuisance."
Mr. Bingley is an ambitious man. He has already prepared the manor, and even wants to buy some land. The pound is already prepared, and he is only waiting for those prodigal sons who have lost the blessing of their ancestors to sell their properties.Under the management of the old man, the Bingley family did not give in to some inferior nobles.Although this kind of family background is not enough to make people feel important, it will not make people look down upon it. Mr. Bingley is obviously able to get along in the social circle like a duck to water by virtue of his rise in family background.
"Hey, Darcy! Where are you going? Are you going to hide in the lounge like an old man like me?" The old Earl Fox always liked to appear suddenly at certain times, such as now.
Darcy had to stop his steps: "I think so, Earl Fox."
The old earl stopped Darcy with some dissatisfaction: "Oh, let me take a look. Miss Brooke is really a charming stunner, isn't she? Why don't you invite her anymore? You all have superb dancing skills."
Thinking of Louisa, Darcy looked past the old earl and secretly looked over there. Louisa was having a joyful conversation with her close friend Miss Cassis.He withdrew his gaze: "I think Miss Brooke doesn't want to be disturbed now."
Ann patrolled the whole dinner party with a smile on her face, but the words she said were not as sweet as her smile: "My respected Miss Brooke, could it be that you are fascinated by that indifferent and arrogant Mr. Darcy?"
Louisa also knew that Ann, like her own mother, disliked new rich people, probably because they were too proud to tolerate other people's pride.In fact, Darcy is not bad. He is rich, has a century-old manor, and has a certain influence in the church.It's just that, just like their contempt for businessmen, the prejudice already exists and it is difficult to subside.
For Louisa, marrying a man of the right family, and living a life of respect as a guest will be her future portrayal. As for who this man is, what does it matter?She just needs to find someone who is pleasing to the eye, and who is approved by her mother, that's enough.Although she used to look forward to love, but now she has lost her courage.
"Ann, don't worry, I know what kind of man I want to choose." Luisa lowered her eyes, remembering her aunt's marriage and her mother's anger. Although the combination of old and new nobles is already a trend in high society, But my family background determines that I am qualified to choose the status of future husband-in-law.
Covered by a fan, Ann curled her lips: "Although he is excellent, he is not even a low-class nobleman after all. If old Mr. Darcy had not had a good marriage, the Darcy family would be nothing more than an outburst that can't stand on the stage now." That's all."
As if sighing softly, Louisa said: "I understand." This society is so cruel, family background can be erased, not just marriage... She raised her head, but saw Darcy staring at her, Slightly nodded to signal, but felt a little regretful.A man like Darcy must be said to be very charming, arrogant but not rude, with decent manners, even those noble nobles may not have his unique temperament.
"I don't know if I have the honor to invite Miss Brooke to dance with you?"
The man in front of him was tall and tall, and he did not give in to Darcy. Whether it was the clothes, the leather boots on his feet, or even the bow tie as an accessory, it could be seen that it was custom-made by those expensive handmade shops, exquisite and expensive.It was recommended by my aunt, Viscount Bull, a kind and gentle man.Different from Darcy's silence, he obviously knows how to please girls better.
Luisa saluted back: "Of course, I'd love to."
Viscount Bull brought Louisa into the dance floor, and the two dancers looked very right.
The old Earl Fox sighed regretfully: "Beauties are always easy to be chased, Darcy, don't miss them."
Darcy looked at Louisa who was dancing in the middle of the dance floor with some confusion, but didn't answer.Earl Fox took a glass of wine indifferently, walked to the other side, squinting his eyes, he thought a little comfortably, it was not his fault that he became more popular as he got older.
Miss Bingley looked at Louisa who was dancing with Earl Bull with envy, and approached Mr. Darcy: "Mr. Darcy, let me guess what you are thinking?"
"You can't guess right." Mr. Darcy replied mercilessly with no expression on his face.
Miss Bingley has long been used to Darcy's arrogance, and she said to herself indifferently: "I think you must be tired of those hypocritical smiles, those snobbish ladies, those so-called gentlemen chasing girls. .This dance music makes me depressed and boring. I really want to hear you satirize them with your sharp language."
Darcy frowned: "No, on the contrary. I was thinking, I was dancing with the most beautiful beauty at the ball just now, maybe I should invite her again."
"Oh?" Miss Bingley's face changed, and she stared at Darcy, "So it's Miss Brooke. I don't know when I can congratulate you."
"Women's imagination is really amazing, and they have jumped from invitation to marriage so easily. Isn't it a glorious thing to be favored by the most beautiful girls at the ball? I think any gentleman in our In such a situation, they will seriously consider the question of re-invitation." Darcy replied calmly.
He knew that Luisa's mother, the Countess Brooke, was once the most beautiful flower in the social field, but that flower has been stingy in showing her beauty to the world since the death of Countess Brooke.As well-known as her loyalty is her dislike of emerging nobles, probably because of the failed marriage of Countess Wilde, the countess' sister, or perhaps the impetuosity of those upstarts, Mrs. Brooke will never have an impression of emerging nobles. Where to go.
And his own father, old Mr. Darcy, did not receive an honor from the Queen as rumored, he only received a nominal title and could not even inherit it.This marriage is obviously difficult, but he is not so fascinated by the beautiful Miss Brooke that he willingly surrenders his whole heart.
Miss Bingley breathed a sigh of relief, and turned to look at Louisa. Although the jealousy in her eyes did not disappear, she was much calmer.She shook her gorgeous lupine fan, and the feathers on her head were about to fly, and a few words were mixed in her sharp laughter: "Mr. Darcy, they are really compatible, aren't they?"
Darcy half listened and didn't answer.
The author has something to say: Well, Miss Bingley did the same thing in the original text...
