[Pride and Prejudice] Squire and Noble

The dance was in full swing, and after greeting everyone, Isa took an excuse to sit aside.As soon as Jane entered, she became the center of the whole ball, and all the boys in Longbourn surrounded her, desperately hoping to invite her to dance with them.Isa sat on the sofa beside her, took a glass of wine, shook it casually, and looked into the field from time to time.

Seeing that Isa was not dancing, Mrs. Bennet rushed over in a hurry, "My dear little Isa, why don't you go down to dance? Look at the boys from Longbourne over there secretly watching What about you." Although her second daughter is not as good as her eldest daughter, she thinks her daughter is definitely the best in Longbourne, no matter which one it is.

Isa shook her wine glass and smiled gracefully, "Mom, I would rather talk to my wine here than dance."

Mrs. Bennet was stunned for a moment, she didn't understand what was talking to Meijiu, so she immediately yelled, "How could Meijiu talk to you, dear, you must be out of your mind, right? "

Shaking her head, Isa laughed in her heart. There are not many people who can understand her obsession with alcohol, even before, let alone Mrs. Bennett.She glanced around and saw Sir Lucas, and said to Mrs. Bennet, "Mom, look, Sir Lucas is standing there alone, why don't you talk to him? "

"Oh! It's so rude, I just found out now." She hurriedly walked over with a smile.

The surroundings became quiet again, and Isa seemed even less interested. Looking at the dance steps of the people around her, she really couldn't imagine that she would be able to dance with them.But fortunately, today she is wearing a plain and low-key dress, with a light-colored skirt, and the pattern on it is also light and small flowers. The style is not the latest trend, and it doesn't show much of her figure.

Isa was content with the ease, the princess's time was not spent flirting with country boys.

"Sir Lucas, you are such a good neighbor. You even specially held a birthday party for my family Isa. This makes us so happy." Isa heard Mrs. Bennet's conversation not far away, and the corners of her lips curled up. The smile became stronger and stronger. I have to say that she really understood Mr. Bennett's fun of always sneering at Mrs. Bennett, although such a mother can't bring her glory, let alone give her Sisters bring no benefit, but fun, yes.

After she finished laughing, she heard a commotion at the ball.

Charlotte Lucas suddenly dropped her partner from one side and came to Isa's side, and pointed towards the door secretly, "Look, Isa, there are two guests, and Dad said they were passing through Meryton I was a traveler, the carriage broke down, and I saw my house after walking for a long time in the fields, so I came to bother you." Charlotte's eyes brightened, "The two of them are definitely not ordinary people, judging by their clothes and feet. The leather boots are so noble."

"Mr. Lucas is always hospitable." Isa smiled, then raised her eyes and looked over casually.

After seeing the rural men and women dancing around, there were indeed two out of place figures standing there. Both of them had similar expressions of arrogance, but the blond man was a little restrained and alienated, with a superficial reserve , who reveals the elegant demeanor of aristocrats, but looks noble and inviolable.The other brown-haired man had a cold face, exuding an air of arrogance that no strangers should enter.

"Isa, it's your birthday today, don't you want to dance with such a handsome gentleman?" Charlotte looked at Isa and blinked, "Maybe I can ask Dad to set you up."

Yisha raised the corners of her lips, "Forget it, I really don't want to dance."

She withdrew her gaze, shook the wine glass gently, like a habitual and elegant gesture, and said indifferently, "The blond man looks like a descendant of a nobleman, and the other looks indifferent and arrogant. Although they are both very handsome , but they look down on the girls in the country in the same way in their hearts, and their eyes are higher than the top. I think it is better to ignore them than to run into a wall, after all, they are asking you now."

"Of course, Charlotte, you can also go up and verify whether my statement is correct." Isabella blinked.

Charlotte was a little unconvinced, "But they look so good. If they become our neighbors, the girls in Meryton will be crazy."

At this time, Charlotte was only 22 years old, and she still had many dreams about love in her heart, but again, she was not confident in her appearance, "However, even if they are not arrogant, they may not want to dance with me , but you are different, Isa, your beauty is second only to Jane in Meryton."

Isa put down her glass and stood up suddenly, "Why don't we go to them and listen to what they are talking about? I believe they must be talking about how boring this country is now."

Charlotte raised her lips and smiled, "Okay."

So the two walked along the crowd to the resting place on the other side and sat down. Isa still took a glass of wine bored, but she didn't drink it all the time, but just shook it lightly, watching The beautiful liquor rippled slightly in the glass.

After a while, they really heard the conversation of the two gentlemen.

"Perhaps we should go outside." Mr. Darcy frowned slightly, impatiently.

"No, Darcy, you should try to dance with country girls." Mr. Houston next to him said, "I think if Bentley is here, he will definitely linger. He has always liked the country and the city, and his personality is so Cheerful, the girls here are sure to keep him up all night."

"I don't think it's a good idea, you know, I don't like dancing with strangers." Darcy said coldly, without even looking at the girls in the field, "But you're right, Charles will definitely Love it here."

Mr. Houston seemed to want to get rid of his habit, so he said, "Standing here is too boring. That lady is good-looking and has a slim figure. She is the most beautiful lady here. You should go and find her." She dances, after all, dancing is a pastime."

"No." Darcy was firm, and added after a pause, "she laughs too much."

"Indeed, there are too many people around that lady, so maybe you should take a look at the one sitting over there. She is the second most beautiful lady here, and she holds the wine glass very elegantly." Houston The husband was also very firm, and looked at Isa with a hint of teasing on his face.This made Isa feel that not only dancing with others is a boring pastime for him, but even Mr. Darcy has become his pastime at the moment.

"She's not so beautiful, she's just okay, not enough to touch my heart." Darcy frowned, and subconsciously glanced at Isa, but didn't stay, and said lightly, "I never want to retreat Secondly, I am even more unwilling to comfort the lady who has been neglected by the men."

Isa's hand holding the wine glass paused slightly, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and then the smile on her lips deepened.
