[Pride and Prejudice] The leisurely life of Miss Bentley

The two little foxes went around, and in the end it was Miss Cavendish who spoke uncontrollably: "Miss Bingley, we are also considered alumni. I really miss the bricks and tiles, every plant and tree there!"

Caroline thought about it when she heard the words, so she said seriously: "Miss Cavendish, you are right. Although I have been away from the academy for a while, various fragments of the academy life often appear in front of my eyes. Whether it is joy, It’s still sad, but thinking about it now always makes me feel bad!”

"Miss Bingley, I don't want to say anything else." Miss Cavendish brushed the hair next to her ear and paused, "When I was in the academy, I did have many inappropriate behaviors... Fortunately, it did not lead to irreversible results... Now that I know that this trip is very presumptuous, it is too late to say sorry at this moment, but I have to come to your door to ask for your understanding..."

While listening to Miss Cavendish's words, Cavendish slandered her in his heart. The words of this lady were really artistic, and she seemed to be sincere and sincere while avoiding important things. I don't know how she was moved by Melanie. that's it.

"Miss Cavendish, to be honest, we must not be obsessed with our past experience and forget our present and future journey. People are not sages, who can do nothing? Even if we are walking on the road, we will inevitably trample to death on the road. No matter when and where we are, instead of crawling with our burdens on our backs, it is better to let go of the stone in our hearts and look forward..."

Since you can avoid the important things, I can also secretly change the concept...

Miss Cavendish smiled slightly, showing gratitude for Caroline's answer, then changed the subject and said, "Does Miss Bingley also like opera? I met Mr. Bingley and Mr. Darcy at the Royal Opera House by chance before. After we talked, I found out that you, Miss Bingley, were also on the play "Dido and Aeneas" that day!"

"Yes, Dido and Aeneas is indeed a rare opera. It is said that it was already very popular when it was staged in other academies!" Caroline took a sip of milk tea and put it away The teacup said again, "Miss Cavendish, we must not be the only ones who like this opera. Even Miss Kester can't put it down. Hearing that it was released, she specially reserved a box, and I invite you to go with me!"

"Really? That's really great! If there is a new play coming out in the future, Miss Bingley, you and Miss Kester are not allowed to refuse my invitation!" Caroline's move was regarded as a hit on cotton. Miss Wendy Xu was unmoved, and instead continued the conversation on the topic.

……

The two ladies came and went back and forth, trying to test each other.

Miss Cavendish was already prepared to be treated coldly, but Caroline's words were very good in comparison.In such a back and forth, Miss Cavendish's "ice-breaking" trip can be regarded as achieving a part of her goal.As for the matter of Colonel Fitzwilliam, Miss Cavendish did not dare to blatantly talk about this gentleman, nor did she get any substantive information from Caroline.But it doesn't matter, Miss Cavendish saw that Caroline didn't look like a girl who was fascinated by love, so she let go of half of her heart, anyway, this is not the most important thing for her now.

Miss Cavendish doesn't have many friends on Caroline's side, and Miss Cavendish doesn't have many friends.The crux of the whole thing lies in Miss Melanie Kester, the sufferer. Since Miss Kester can let go of the past, if she can make one more friend, why would she make one more enemy?And this time it was Miss Cavendish who came to offer the olive branch, why bother to put on airs so pretentiously? !

When Caroline had a "happy talk" with Miss Cavendish on Grovener Street, Mr. Darcy had already arrived at Rosings Manor where Mrs. Catherine de Bourgh lived, where she met her aunt whom she had not seen for a long time. With my cousin, Miss Anne de Bauer, and my cousin, Colonel Fitzwilliam, whom I just met.

After receiving the letter that day, Mr. Darcy made a hasty speech with the Bingley brothers and sisters and the Hurst couple, saying that he would go to Rosings first, but he still made some investigations on Mrs. de Bower's consultation in the letter.After investigation, Mr. Darcy learned that Mrs. de Bower knew the whole story and the ins and outs of Colonel Fitzwilliam's move.

Mrs. Catherine de Bourgh is a tall lady with three-dimensional facial features. It can be seen that she was also a beauty when she was young.It's a pity that this lady always has a serious look, and she doesn't seem to be close to her.

At this time, Mr. Darcy and Colonel Fitzwilliam straightened their bodies, and stood aside to listen to Mrs. Catherine's question, oh no, it can be regarded as an angry question.

Speaking of which, Mrs. Catherine de Bauer was very angry at Colonel Fitzwilliam's pursuit of Miss Cavendish, not only because Colonel Fitzwilliam failed to inform in advance, but also because Colonel Fitzwilliam's move disrupted She turned out to be the perfect plan.

Mrs. Catherine de Bourgh's original calculation was very good: Miss Anne de Bourgh is the heiress of Rosings Manor, but she is weak and not suitable for managing Rosings's property. Considering Colonel Fitzwilliam and Darwin in terms of in-laws Mr. Xi is undoubtedly the two most suitable candidates.Although Colonel Fitzwilliam is the youngest son of the earl, he has no inheritance rights, but Anne does, so he doesn't need to worry about property.Conversely, it is precisely because he has no right of inheritance that Colonel Fitzwilliam may be more able to concentrate on managing Rosings' property.Mr. Darcy, it goes without saying, was more favored by Lady Catherine de Bourgh than Colonel Fitzwilliam.But as a mother, there are always more things to worry about. I can't help but worry that if Mr. Darcy treats Anne badly, it will not be helpful to have more property, although Mr. Darcy always looks honest and decent at present.

When Mrs. Catherine hesitated and planned to wait and see for a while before getting engaged to Anne, she found that the prey that was supposed to win was suddenly taken away by a wild wolf.How can this make her not anxious?

At the same time that Colonel Fitzwilliam was hastily recalled, Lady Catherine wrote to Mr. Darcy to return to Rosings.If Colonel Fitzwilliam is really irretrievable, let it be. Mr. Darcy, who is almost a good son-in-law in her eyes, cannot be let go.

Catherine thought that Colonel Fitzwilliam was so caught off guard that she couldn't get angry, so she asked Colonel Fitzwilliam to clarify the relationship with Miss Cavendish immediately, but Colonel Fitzwilliam looked at her Nose, nose looking at the heart, showing great patience, but at the same time, he was just pretending to be stupid to Mrs. Catherine's request.Mr. Darcy on the side is also quite absent-minded, and Mrs. Catherine has nothing to do with them. After all, Anne will still rely on one of them in the future, so it's not good to be too tough.

During the conversation, a servant came to inform the Collinses and their two cousins ​​that they had arrived at Rosings' reception room.

Lady Catherine then stopped, and got up, leading Miss Anne de Bourgh into the drawing-room, and Colonel Fitzwilliam, together with Mr. Darcy, intended to see the aunt's guests.

The Bennet sisters had been invited by Mrs. Collins to stay in Hansford for a while, originally for the purpose of relaxing.After leaving this suffocating place in London, the mood of the Bennet sisters gradually brightened.Although Elizabeth still felt resentful, seeing that her sister seemed to be thinking about it, she gradually got rid of depression, and she was very happy.

The vicarage in Hansford is indeed nice, tidy and comfortable, but Mr. Collins has to show off to Sister Bennet in everything, which makes them feel uncomfortable.Fortunately, Mrs. Collins Charlotte was able to deal with it and rounded up some of Mr. Collins' rude remarks, which made the Bennet sisters feel better.

After staying in this way for a few days, the Collinses were invited by Rosings Manor several times, and Jane and Elizabeth also went to Rosings several times with the Collinses.Rosings Manor is indeed as magnificent as Mr. Collins boasted, and the furnishings are exquisite and lovely. The surroundings of the house are picturesque, and it is a good place to live.After several contacts, Jane and Elizabeth were deeply impressed by Lady Catherine's superiority and Miss Anne de Bourgh's sickness and quietness.

The arrival of Mr. Darcy and Colonel Fitzwilliam coincided with another visit by Mr. and Mrs. Collins and Sister Bennet to Rosings.The two parties reacted differently when they met: Mr. Collins was overjoyed when he heard that Mrs. Catherine's two aunts and nephews were coming, so he specially asked for a door-to-door visit.Regardless of how Mrs. Collins behaved at home, she always obeyed Mr. Collins' orders externally, and gave her husband enough face.The Bennet sisters are a little more subtle: Miss Jane Bennet has already recognized the helplessness of reality with the passage of time, but Mr. Bingley is her first love after all, and she always has a little bit of nostalgia.Therefore, when I saw Mr. Darcy, I was always a little conflicted. I wanted to know Mr. Bingley's recent situation, but I felt that it would be of no use to know.Elizabeth still maintained an appearance of being unfamiliar with Mr. Darcy, and anyway, she didn't want to have anything to do with these raccoons.

Madam Catherine was only thinking about Miss Anne, and she didn't pay much attention to the weird atmosphere between them.After sitting for a few minutes, Mrs. Catherine really didn't have the heart to put her mind on the reception, so the guests were all sent to the garden to enjoy the scenery outside.

It was a clear day, and Rosings's garden was well kept, and it was a pleasure to walk in such a delightful garden.

The two Miss Bennets and Colonel Fitzwilliam walked in front, and Mr. Darcy walked slowly behind. Unexpectedly, Mr. Collins always praised Rosings beside Mr. Darcy, which made him very impatient.Fortunately, Mrs. Catherine sent someone to look for Mr. and Mrs. Collins soon, and finally Mr. Darcy could stay alone for a while.
