[Pride and Prejudice] Squire and Noble

"Mrs. Lange." Isa suddenly interjected with a smile, "I don't know what happened to the boy who was hurt by the naughty Lydia back then?"

"That's right!" Mrs. Bennet immediately remembered, but she always remembered that the young man who took Lydia to ride a horse and then broke his leg belonged to Mrs. Long's family. She was not only sympathetic to them at that time In such a situation, he still made things worse and asked for high medical expenses.

Mrs. Lange pushed her son out, "He is completely healed, look, his legs and feet are very agile now, but thanks to your generosity at that time!" She said again, "But it has been so long , I didn't expect you guys to remember..."

Miss Mary suddenly smiled "hehe", she pretended to be surprised, "Really, but we haven't seen Mrs. Lange since then, so it has been so long?"

"No, no, we met at the ball not long ago..." Mrs. Lange became weaker and weaker.

Mrs. Bennett made the final blow, "Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't know, maybe we were too low-key. After the whole dance, only Sir Lucas and Mr. Lucas came to talk. Well, definitely We were too low-key."

Mrs. Lange's face was livid, and she was low-key. Her four daughters were the most eye-catching at the ball...

At this moment, Isa suddenly spoke up and raised her glass with a smile, "Yes, maybe we were too low-key at the beginning, and missed a lot of dances and greetings from friends, but after all It's different from the past, Mrs. Lange, don't be too attached to the past, it's all in the past, isn't it." Her smile is light and beautiful, as elegant as an unattainable noble lady, which does not mean Seeing her arrogance makes people feel unapproachable. This sense of distance is the natural distance between real nobles and ordinary people.

This kind of momentum makes people feel extremely humble in front of her.

Moreover, the implication in her words, which anyone must have heard, was that she was saying that the old acquaintances had worn out in three years, and that there was no need to talk about old friendships with Mrs. Bennet.Moreover, she is also implying that the Bennett family is different now and should be treated with a different attitude.

Mrs. Lange finally couldn't hold back and retreated. Next to her, several other wives came up to talk to them. They all tried to talk to them with the most sincere smiles and reconnect with them.Isa's eyes were slightly cold. She really couldn't understand why these people were so naive. They really thought that the Bennetts were all idiots. On the other hand, when they want to come over and touch them kindly twice, will they go back happily?

During the three years, if Isa hadn't secretly used the little money earned by Bell Manor to help, what would the Bennett family have become in those three years?How depressed would Mrs. and Mr. Bennet be in the snub, and how sad would her sisters be?But no one reached out to help, no.Even only when someone fell into trouble.

Isa squeezed the wine glass slightly harder, and the edges of her slender fingers even turned a little pale because of too much force.

After a while, she let out a breath slowly, but fortunately, none of this happened, did it?

Hard times are over for the Bennetts, and every single one of them is better than ever.

At this moment, Mary came over suddenly, and she whispered into Isa's ear with a smile and said narrowly, "Isa, Mr. Darcy is not far away, he has been looking at you, oh, you said he was thinking what?"

Yisha was slightly startled, and subconsciously turned her head to look for the figure of the gentleman. Sure enough, he was looking at her not far away, with straight eyes, as if filled with countless turbulent emotions.The two pairs of eyes met in the air, but Darcy still didn't look away, but picked up the wine glass and walked towards her.

He heard their conversation almost clearly.It turns out that in those days when he was not around, she didn't live well.

Seeing Mr. Darcy approaching, Mary immediately pulled Kitty aside to make space.

Isa was a little embarrassed by their obvious behavior, and when she looked up again, she saw that Darcy was already standing in front of her.There were countless undercurrents in his brown eyes, his lips were tightly pressed, and he looked at her with a serious and serious expression.

"Mr. Darcy?" Isa was puzzled again.

This gentleman always uses the same expression to express his emotions, or to cover up his emotions. He always doesn't want people to guess his thoughts, and he is used to looking at others with a serious and rigid handsome face. When he is in a good mood, the people who are watching will find it weird. When he is in a bad mood, there will be a trace of coldness on his expression, which can drive people crazy.

Oh, he just can express so many emotions with such a flat expression...

Isa wanted to laugh a little, but forced herself to hold back.

After being silent for a while, Mr. Darcy suddenly said, "Miss Elizabeth, did I forget to ask you a question?"

"What?" Isa couldn't help but put on a serious expression, thinking that he was going to ask some important question, so she fixedly looked at him and waited.

"I forgot to ask you, how have you been in the past three years?" Darcy said in a deep voice.

Isa was stunned again. Does this question need such a serious expression to set it off?She cleared her throat with a little shame, "It's busy, but it's still good." She looked up at him suspiciously, "What's the matter, what's the problem, Mr. Darcy?" Seriously, she couldn't figure it out. The idea of ​​a gentleman, although they are a pair of partners who cooperate very happily.

Darcy felt an inexplicable unhappiness in his heart, "You are lying, Miss Elizabeth."

His eyes darkened, his tone seemed a little aggressive, and he stared into her face, locking her eyes.

He also couldn't figure out why this lady could tell lies so calmly with her eyes open.He's obviously having a bad time, he's heard it all, but she still wants to deceive him!

"No, Mr. Darcy, I don't know where you got your conclusion from?" Isa narrowed her eyes. In her opinion, Mr. Darcy's anger came out of nowhere.

Darcy put the wine glass aside with a "snap", his eyes were as heavy as the stormy night sky.

The gorgeous lights shone between them, reflecting the facial contours of the two people very beautifully, but Mr. Darcy's chest rose and fell slightly, and he said in a cold voice, "I heard it all, Miss Elizabeth, the three You didn't have a good life in [-]. In your letters, you always only reported the good news but not the bad news, but in fact, because of that incident, the Bennett family didn't receive courtesy here, did they? You even lived a worse life than ordinary families Why not!"

She squeezed the wine glass tightly, feeling depressed for a while, and responded softly, "Why should I report everything in my life to you in detail? I don't think it is necessary."

Hearing her question, Darcy's words were suddenly blocked.

After a while, he suddenly said in a deep voice, "We are partners! When you encounter difficulties, I should lend a helping hand!"

Isa also put the wine glass gently on the table, she looked at him calmly, her momentum was no weaker than his, "Yes, we are partners, but you are so far apart, you I was busy expanding my industry and exploring business opportunities, but I was just neglected in this small village. , I believe you know." Emperor Shenwu said, "Our life has not been greatly affected. Although it looks very pitiful and closed to the outside world, the meager income from Bell Manor in the past few years is enough to make us live comfortably. Nothing, nothing to worry about."

Darcy looked at her deeply, and Isa's tone was very gentle and very pleasant, even better than the music played by the excellent band.

"Mr. Darcy, you have definitely done enough as a partner." She paused.

"Without you, there would be no Bennett family today. At the beginning, it was your trust that gave me room to develop. Thank you can no longer express my feelings. But, Mr. Darcy, our cooperative relationship is equal Yes, you know, I am not a partner who needs your full protection." She was in a bad mood, "If you think that way, then I can only express my regret, it turns out that you don't understand me either."

After finishing speaking, Isa looked at Darcy for two seconds, then twirled her skirt, turned and left quickly.

Standing in an empty corridor, she stopped, only to realize that her hands were trembling.

She clenched her hand into a fist, and after she calmed down, she pressed it to her heart.

It's very uncomfortable here.Isa lowered her eyelids and took two deep breaths.

Although Mary stepped aside, she kept observing the conversation between Isa and Darcy. The two of them were calm at first, then looked at each other seriously, and then something went wrong between the two of them.But this pair of men and women are so elegant that even an unpleasant conversation will definitely not turn into a quarrel. They finished speaking in the most elegant voice and then parted ways.

Finally, she saw Isa go away, and Darcy stayed where he was, looking dark and slightly chagrined.

So she quickly chased after her, "Honey, why did you come here." Mary asked worriedly, "What happened to you and Mr. Darcy?"

Isa shook her head and resumed her usual smile, "It's nothing, it's just that we have some different ideas."

Next, the dance was still going on smoothly, but Mr. Darcy and Mr. Bingley left first.Looking at the figure that was missing at the dance, and thinking about the previous conversation, Isa felt a little lost. The joy of this dance could not affect her anymore.

The night after the dance, the Bennett sisters hardly slept at all.

They all squeezed into Isa's room, lying on her big bed one by one, surrounded by light veils and gorgeous lights, this is simply their dream life!

Lydia screamed and lay down on Isa's bed, and sighed comfortably, "It's so comfortable, the bed in Ladies Academy is far worse than here! Oh, sister Isa, this is like a dream, I don't know if it will be a time-limited magic, if it is, I would rather not wake up for the rest of my life!"

Isa smiled, and Lydia immediately turned over and sat up again, and opened the closet beside her.

The skirts inside are full of beautiful lace, beautiful ribbons, delicate gloves, and hats with feathers.Everything is available, and there are all kinds of oaths on the table, it's like a princess' mansion!

A flash of nostalgia flashed in Isa's eyes. Didn't she arrange it according to the original bedroom in Buckingham Palace when she arranged it?It's a pity that they can't be that similar after all. After all, the luxury in the palace is unmatched outside.

"Oh, sister, I want to try this dress!" Lydia excitedly grabbed it and tried it.

Although the education of a lady made her calm on the surface, she became less ignorant and frivolous, but after all, young girls still love beauty, and they can't help the joy in their hearts when they see beautiful skirts and clothes.They changed clothes one by one in turn, tossing until very late.When the rogue man was in love, Jane sat on the bed with Isa, and she asked with a gentle smile, "Isha, there is something wrong with you today, is it because of the unpleasant conversation with Mr. Darcy?"

Isa smiled helplessly, "Honey, I can't escape your eyes."

"This gentleman's character is indeed too elusive, but I can't deny that he is really an excellent gentleman. I am looking forward to him becoming my brother-in-law, Isha." Jane looked at Isha with a full smile .

Isa was taken aback, "We are partners, you know." In order to prevent Jane from thinking about those pink incidents, she smiled helplessly, "Jane, you know, I don't want to marry yet , not to mention, I will not be a good match for Mr. Darcy. May I ask which man would like his wife to show his face outside and handle the property? But I definitely don’t want to live under the wings of others.”

"My dear Jane, that would suffocate me."

Meanwhile, in Netherfield Gardens, Bingley and Darcy sat in their study, both absent-minded.

"Darcy, tell me, Miss Jane will never forgive me again? Oh, now that she has so much land and so much dowry, maybe her family is richer than mine, I There is no advantage at all, right? Mr. Fox, who invited her to dance several times at the ball just now, is more handsome, more elegant, and more..."

Bingley fell into distress. He felt that he was nothing like the lovely gentleman.

Darcy was silent for a moment, then suddenly whispered, "You are not suitable."

"Not suitable? Where is it not suitable?" Bingley became more distressed when he heard Darcy's response.

Darcy paused slightly, he didn't know whether he was speaking to Bingley or himself.

Looking at Bingley, he hid his troubles and persuaded, "You always find everyone cute when you look at them. Maybe this is just your temporary enthusiasm."

"No, no, Darcy, this time is different from before, I know it." Bingley lowered his head seriously, "The feeling Jane gave me came so quickly and so strongly, but the passion has not faded, I I always think about her day and night, wishing I could lock her in my sight, but I hesitated to approach her, I knew I needed courage, but it was so difficult at that time, because I was always afraid of my Arriving would cause trouble for him."

"Oh, I want to love and protect her so much, but I find that she doesn't need protection. She is stronger than me. This feeling is really painful, isn't it? My heart is about to burst. "He clutched his chest in a daze.

"Yes." Darcy agreed rarely.

"What?" Bingley didn't hear clearly, and raised his head to ask.But Daxi remained silent again, he looked at the dark sky outside the window, his eyes were darker than that night.
