Chapter13 Attacks Lady Catherine!

... I don't know when it started, but every time I saw Mr. Darcy, some unexpected and strange things would happen.

Resisting the urge to touch her forehead, she elegantly, gracefully, and ladylike made a standard curtsy to Mr. Darcy who was hiding in the shadows and cosplaying the vampire.

Mr. Darcy, aren't you synonymous with repelling people thousands of miles away?Why are you always haunted!

Elizabeth said in a low voice, "Mr. Darcy has been here for several days. If Mr. Bingley hadn't been able to calm him down, you would only see one ice cave and one ice sculpture when you came."

Jane felt that every cell in her body shrank, and every cell was clamoring to stay away from the iceberg.

However, when a certain iceberg, which seemed to be an auspicious and lovely family with the word "unreasonable", proposed with a stern face to invite everyone to visit Pemberley Manor, Jane, who was thinking of staying away from him just now, could hardly bear it The jubilation of playing the crown is celebrated.

... You're just so rough that you even use the wrong idioms. ——BY travels through the great god.

What is an iceberg compared with mountains, lakes and rolling forests?

Everything on the next day's journey made Jane feel fresh and interesting.Xiao Biesheng's newly married (?) sisters were chatting intimately, and even the aggrieved Mr. Bingley couldn't separate them.

It's just this pleasure, after seeing the garden diagonally across the road, the house in the garden, the green fence, and the vicarage composed of the laurel hedge, it was broken into pieces gorgeously.

Mr. Collins and Charlotte came one after another. Amid the frequent nodding and smiling of the guests and hosts, the guests stopped their cars in front of a small gate, and from here they walked through a short cobblestone paved road to the main house.

The guests got out of the car, and the host and guest met each other with infinite joy (fog).

Mr. Collins expressed his welcome with dances and dances, and when he learned that Mr. Darcy was the beloved nephew of his benefactor, Lady Catherine, he became more formal. In the cold wind, he greeted his family with respect and sincerity (Darcy's family is only two people now, Mr. Darcy and Miss Darcy).

Mr. Darcy made some perfunctory remarks to him, and Mr. Collins was so satisfied that he did not delay his guests any longer, but showed them how neat and tastefully furnished the doorway was - far less so than Rosings, of course. and Pemberley—then welcomed the guests into the house; once in the living room, he welcomed them a second time, saying very politely that it was a great honor to have you all come to the humble house this time, and at the same time, he couldn't wait to look at Da Mr. Xi bowed again and again, as if he dared not let the angel's feet step into the mud of the mortal world.

In order to get rid of her cousin's troll smell all the time, in order not to pay attention to his tirade enough to fill the English Channel, in order not to praise every pantry and mantelpiece against her will, Jane had to seek refuge in Charlotte.

Mr. Collins sometimes said some very inappropriate things-this frequency is not low-and it would be embarrassing to his own wife, so Charlotte was very happy to show Jane and Elizabeth to the garden. The poor people in the living room are left to be destroyed by the husband.

The garden is very large, and the arrangement is exquisite and lovely, and everything is taken care of by Mr. Collins himself.

"It is indeed the noblest pastime my cousin can have." Elizabeth lowered her voice so as not to embarrass her friend.

"Tidying up the garden is a healthy activity, and I encourage him to stay in the garden as much as possible." Charlotte said calmly and cheerfully.

In fact, both sisters knew that Charlotte was just trying to reduce the contact with her husband, and thus reduce the frequency of enduring his stupidity.

Such a broad-minded and magnanimous mind... Jane gave a thumbs up in her heart: a real man, a real man!

This pastor's mansion is so practical and comfortable, it has to be said that if the existence of the male master is ignored, this is the most cost-effective small house that Jane has ever seen.

Apparently Mrs. Collins thought so too, and so she avoided her husband by all means, and usually gave him little thought.

At dinner time, after Jane and Elizabeth expressed their interest in the famous Lady Catherine, Mr. Collins couldn't wait to intervene: "Exactly, Miss Jane, Miss Elizabeth, you will have the honor to meet Duke Catherine de Bourgh on Sunday night Madam, you will like her. Madam is extremely modest (Mr. Collins's head is raised triumphantly), without airs at all (Mr. Collins can't help raising his airs), I believe that after the church that day, the two cousins would be honored to have her attention. I can say without hesitation that as long as you stay here, whenever she does the honor of treating us to dinner, it will be necessary to invite her cousins ​​and my sister-in-law Maria. She treats my dear Charlotte is wonderful (he puts emphasis on "mine"). We go to Rosings for dinner twice a week, and she never once asks us to walk home, and always kills herself The carriage sent us... It should be said that it was one of several carriages sent by her old man..."

Jian brain made up a servant of the Qing Dynasty, who ran amok on the road with a dog-like attitude, and when he returned to his master, he said, "The master is wise and powerful, and the slave is loyal"...

If it wasn't for Mrs. Catherine's nephew's dark and frightening face, so that the black air leaked out, Jane would have looked up to the sky and smiled unladylike.

Mr. Darcy said through gritted teeth: "Auntie is indeed a... obliging neighbour."

Mr. Collins immediately sat up straight, praised Mr. Darcy's understanding, and said: "You are so right, Mr. Darcy. A lady like her, no matter how much respect you have for her, will still respect you." Feeling wanting. Just as no matter how much you praise the beauty of Rosings and Pemberley, it's not enough."

In the corner of Jane's sympathy, Mr. Darcy was about to bite his lip.

On the second day, a mighty group of people walked towards Rosings Manor across the road.

They walked past two rows of magnificent pruned trees that looked like broken trees, stepped on magnificent steps, walked through the same magnificent hall under the guidance of servants, and then entered the even more magnificent living room... A richly dressed The majestic tall lady stood up to greet the guests.

The Duchess Catherine de Bour took pride in the fact that she could once again criticize, intervene, and improve upon all their inappropriateness--Lady Catherine considered it a biblical duty and benevolence--when she had Knowing that his beloved nephew wanted to live in the Collins house, which was "only suitable for couples", he categorically invited everyone to live in Rosings, which was "plenty of space".

Such a duchess has ruined many people's expectations and fantasies about nobles...

The famous Mrs. Catherine is sitting on her yellow high-back sofa chair, and the huge oil painting behind her just sets off her majestic beauty and noble status. A queen who rewards her subjects on the throne.

Perhaps it was because Mr. Collins refreshed his three views, Jane suddenly felt that Mrs. de Bourgh seemed cute and swollen too!

Such a conceited, arrogant, nosy, and obsessed with flattery, do you want to be gentle or to be disciplined?

Time-traveling God: You silently make up your mind, don't make a sound.I was silently terrified and did not speak.

A group of people are sincere and fearful, each has its own merits:

Mr. Collins was favored by his benefactor, and took his place by Lady Catherine's hand.With ecstasy and gratitude, he could not say anything without the praise of the aria, and whatever he said had to do with the beauty of Mademoiselle de Bourgh and the dignity of the Duchess.When his chatter was interrupted unceremoniously by the Duchess, Collins hastily covered his mouth with his fat hand, wishing he could lower himself into the soil, bloom a flower, and let Lady Catherine's noble feet trample on it.

Sir Lucas couldn't think of anything to say other than echoing his son-in-law's words.He had to straighten his back stiffly, checking himself at any time to see if he was not doing enough to be worthy of the Duchess's politeness.Afternoon tea, which was supposed to be relaxed and happy, suddenly became more fearful than entering the palace for an audience.

Sir Lucas's daughter, Maria, was even more frightened and distraught. She was at a loss as if she was incontinent, her buttocks were against the edge of the chair, and her eyes couldn't focus.

Although the Gardiners were a little nervous, fortunately they were businessmen with experience in the world, and their speech and behavior were very decent; Miss Bingley's little conceit and pride seemed so humble and polite; Mr. Bingley sat down aggrievedly. and disapproved of Lady Catherine's unceremonious reception, which made it impossible for the visitor to forget his identity; even if Mr. Darcy was with his aunt, who had said more to him than anyone else, the paralyzed face There is no change in facial muscles, it seems that his arrogance is in the same strain as his aunt.

Therefore, only Elizabeth is the only one who can be regarded as a normal person, and she is the only one who is calm and unhurried, and can do whatever she wants.

As for Jane... Her current expression may not be considered normal: watching the cool, handsome and domineering lady with the attitude of watching a movie, is it 200 years away from the word "normal"?
