[Pride and Prejudice] Squire and Noble
Chapter 32
"Oh, it's not that long, just nearly four years." Mr. Darcy spit out these words lightly.
"Four years?!" Miss Bingley almost lost her voice again. She shook her head vigorously, her expression changing several times.She didn't want to admit this fact at all, she shook her head so that the hair accessories on her head were shaking, "No! How is it possible, I never heard you and Charles mention it!"
"I will never lie to you." Darcy put down his glass coldly, and sat on the sofa beside him.
This time Miss Bingley didn't come forward to please her again, and her heart was in a mess at this moment.You know, she always thinks Mr. Darcy is the best marriage partner, he is so rich and handsome, not to mention that her brother and Darcy have such a good relationship, she has such good facilities, Thinking that they can always get together.
Moreover, at the balls in the past, he would always ask her to dance, no matter how much he didn't like dancing.
It always gave her hope.
But four years, four years is enough for a man and a woman to understand each other's preferences, understand each other's personality, and develop a strong love...
Absently, she walked over to Mr. Bingley who had finally stopped, and she happened to hear the conversation between Bingley and Mr. Robinson. He asked Mr. Bingley if he thought the dance was happy, and asked him which of these beauties he liked the most, and which one did he think? Which one is the most beautiful? The honest and honest Mr. Bingley replied without hesitation, "There is no doubt that the eldest lady of the Bennett family is the most beautiful! Whether it is dancing, etiquette or appearance, she is so outstanding."
Bennett, Bennett, Bennett again...
Miss Bingley grabbed the corner of her skirt a little frantically, trying to calm herself down. After a while, a hint of indifference surfaced in her heart. Well, it's just a small rural family. You know, they But a few poor girls without any dowry, their family conditions are worse than ordinary small landlords!
Yes, Darcy is sensible, how could he forget the wish of the Darcy family just because of his admiration for a while?
Old Mr. Darcy devoted his whole life to bringing the Darcy family into the high society and possessing titles. The former one had been done before the old Mr. Darcy's death, and the latter one was waiting for Darcy to do it.Thinking of this, Miss Bingley immediately felt relieved, but Miss Bingley forgot, if Mr. Darcy really needed a noble lady with a title, how could he choose himself?
Miss Bingley comforted herself, and confidently joined the Hursts' game.
And Mr. Bingley, who always liked to share everything with Darcy, sat beside Darcy and said with bright eyes, "Darcy, have you seen that Miss Bennett is really beautiful, I will I have never experienced so much joy from the dances and conversations of any young lady!"
"Yes, she is excellent." Darcy replied, but another pretty face emerged from a pair of brown eyes.
Mr. Bingley was happier when he got the response, "I really want to invite her to dance the third dance, but unfortunately it would be too abrupt, so I have to bear it and wait for the next time!" After a while, he said bluntly said, "Oh, I guess I should call on them right after the ball, you know, it's the first time I've ever seen a family with such an apt mix of country-girl liveliness and aristocratic elegance! They must be very interesting."
"Hmm." A monosyllable came out, and it was obvious that Darcy was distracted again.
After talking about his lovely Miss Jane Bennet for a while, Bingley couldn't help asking again, "Darcy, can you tell me the truth, is that Miss Elizabeth quite in your heart? Oh, Darcy , I have never seen you approach a young lady so actively!"
Darcy suddenly came back to his senses, the wine glass in his hand shook slightly, reflecting a gleam of light with the light.
"After you danced with her, you hid in the lounge, so you don't know, she only accepted invitations from a few old gentlemen after dancing with you, and then chatted with Miss Lucas. Oh, she's so cute, I think she must be special to you too, isn't she, Darcy!" In Bingley's eyes, everything is cute, seeing this friend who has never been ordinary for thousands of years has a different look. For the action, he immediately received 120 million support.
"No, it's definitely because you think too much." Darcy was stunned for a moment, then lowered his eyes, and vetoed in a serious tone, but if you look closely at him, you will find that there is a lightness in his stern expression, and his deep brown eyes There was a flash of light.
Bingley cheerfully didn't care, got up and joined in various conversations.
He was the most popular gentleman at the ball, and he was always able to join in and talk to him in any circle, and all the girls in Meryton had already been introduced to such a good, pleasant and unaffected person at one ball. Such a gentleman, many girls secretly agree.
But unfortunately, everyone knows that this simple young man is not good at hiding his affection at all. He completely showed his great love for Miss Jane Bennet, so that many young ladies who are ready to move can't change it. further.
Mrs. Bennett, who discovered this phenomenon, became more and more proud. She and Mrs. Lucas talked about the dance party on this day after dinner, and they could always say a lot, such as how Bingley fell in love with Jane, such as Dave How special Mr. Xi is to Elizabeth, for example, the way a certain officer looks at Mary with fascination, for example, the gentle care of a certain gentleman for Kitty.
The only thing that makes them regret is that the talents of the four ladies have not been fully displayed.
Although their dance was so popular, Mrs. Bennet felt that it was not enough. She thought that those who despise them should really see that her daughter can also play the piano smoothly, and has such a Good singing voice!
Isa and Jane, on the other hand, started designing the invitations.
This time, they designed the invitation card very elegantly, with beautiful patterns on it, made of the most high-grade paper, and tied with a beautiful bowknot.What pleased Isa and Jane the most was the words on the invitation.
— from Bell Wine Estates.
"Isa, mom will be so surprised that she will faint!" With a smile all over her face, Jane carefully picked up the invitation card, and gently kissed it with her plump lips, expressing her cherished feelings for it at the moment.
After counting the number of invitations one by one, Isa finally sat down.
"Jane, maybe you should tell me about your feelings about the prom?" Isa showed an intimate smile, and put her arm around her, "For example, Mr. Bingley, the golden bachelor whom everyone is staring at, danced twice with you. News about the dance?"
The two sisters walked out facing the afternoon sun, and while walking slowly among the trails outside Longbourn, they chatted intimately.
There was a blush on Jane's face, but her smile was so calm, "He is really an excellent young man, I am very happy to dance with him."
"Did you fall in love with him at first sight, Jane?"
"No, absolutely not." Jane stopped and looked at Isa, "Although he is so cute and excellent, I will never give up my heart so easily." Jane nodded her head firmly, since After attending that high-society ball, after her family's downfall and numerous ostracisms, and seeing the brilliant future that Isa worked so hard to find for the Bennetts, she can no longer remain calm and mature.
Love suddenly became dispensable, the most important thing is that she, the eldest sister, must make it easier for the younger sisters.
But Yisha shook her head resolutely in her remarks, "Honey, I never ask you to give up the right to love, I just tell you that for love and marriage, more understanding and tolerance are needed, and more Understanding and trust, not casual cuteness at the ball." She showed a mature and quiet smile, "I took you to manage Bell Manor together, just to give you more strength after marriage."
"Jane, you have to relax. It is enough for the Bennett family to be supported by me and Mr. Bennett."
As Isa said, she patted the back of her hand lightly.The Bennetts don't need any more hard-working girls. All this is about to go on the right track. It will be a glorious tomorrow for the Bennetts, but it doesn't need the sacrifice of any of the sisters to achieve it.
Moreover, the exhortation that time was all because it was an upper-class ball, and the distance between them was too far from the small village of Longbourn. For the noble disciples, love was nothing at all.But Mr. Bingley is different, he has such a gentle personality, he is a good old man, and his family background is not complicated, not particularly rich, but he can definitely make his wife live a good life.In addition, Jane can also manage the home now, and she has learned to manage the servants with her.
Well, of course, this is just her consideration, it mainly depends on the development of Jane and Bingley.
Just as Jane was in a daze, after a lot of thoughts roiled in her heart, two men with horses came suddenly in front of her.
"Hey, aren't these two lovely ladies from the Bennett family?" Bingley's eyes lit up, and he immediately walked over regardless of Darcy, "Are you also out for a walk? Oh, the air in this country is really fresh , the surrounding scenery is really wonderful, no matter how you walk, you will never get tired of walking.”
The simple and kind Mr. Bingley didn't want to hide his eyes at all. They looked straight at Jane, as if even Miss Elizabeth next to him would be ignored by him.
Isa smiled and said intentionally, "Oh, Mr. Bingley. What a coincidence that you came here. I have some business to go to town, and I am about to part ways with Jane."
"Really, that's really great!" Mr. Bingley's eyes lit up, and his gentle smile was brighter than the sun for an instant, "Then, let me be the knight escorting the princess!"
Jane glanced at Isa reproachfully, then turned her head and showed a calm smile again.
Isa blinked, raised the corners of her lips and cast an encouraging look, and stood there watching the pair of handsome men and women with the same beautiful smiles go forward.This pair of backs walking side by side is indeed wonderful and suitable, and she can see that Jane also likes this Mr. Bingley a little bit.
Darcy, who had been standing behind and leading a black horse, had a slightly pensive look in his eyes. He looked at the girl with a calm smile and perfect interests, and turned his head a little disapprovingly, and looked at Miss Elizabeth.
"I didn't know that I haven't seen you for three years, but one of your hobbies has been added." Darcy stood beside her indifferently.
Only then did Isa realize that after sending Bingley and Jane away, only Mr. Darcy and herself were left here, but this did not make her feel uncomfortable. Three years later, her psychological quality has become stronger .She pretended not to understand that his hobby was "matchmaker".I adjusted the smile on my lips and looked at him sideways, "I have many interests and hobbies, and, Mr. Darcy, I really want to go to town."
Darcy raised his eyebrows coldly, imitating Bingley's words, and said lightly, "Is that so, then I can only escort you, my princess."
The author has something to say: By the way, what do you all think of Mr. Bentley?Retain the official horse, or demolish and rebuild?I actually feel that he is not bad, what do you think?Come out and discuss it~(^o^)/~
"Four years?!" Miss Bingley almost lost her voice again. She shook her head vigorously, her expression changing several times.She didn't want to admit this fact at all, she shook her head so that the hair accessories on her head were shaking, "No! How is it possible, I never heard you and Charles mention it!"
