[Pride and Prejudice] The leisurely life of Miss Bentley

Before Charles Bentley met Mademoiselle Isabelle Rochejuard, he had come out of a previous relationship.

What the last relationship brought him was not an unforgettable wound, on the contrary, it was like a beautiful dream with regrets.Occasionally when waking up from a dream, Bingley would even see the beautiful days spent in Meryton, the ball at Sir Lucas's house, the conversation between him and her in Netherfield...Of course, he did not deny that the reason From time to time, I would think of the days spent in the country, and Miss Jane Bennet's delicate face like flowers accounted for a lot of factors.

The eldest lady of the Bennet family is well-known in Meryton for her beauty. Even Bingley, who has seen many beauties, couldn't help being attracted to Miss Jane Bennet when he first saw her.But after getting along, Bingley seemed unable to find any adjectives other than kindness, generosity, and gentleness from this young lady.Maybe it's because of this lady's long-standing reputation, her specialness has also been worn away by this reputation, and it really makes people unable to think of other uniqueness.

If Bingley was the guy who muddled along, guarded the shade of his ancestors, and had fun all day long, then having a wife like Miss Jane Bennet was barely enough.At least Miss Jane does have something commendable in her appearance, so she can bring it out.Perhaps, according to the "fashion" of the upper class, gentlemen prefer to make this lady their mistress rather than their wife.

But the reality is that our Mr. Bingley is not the muddling young man in the original book.Bentley, who inherited the old Mr. Bentley's last wish, did not want to live only under the shadow left by his ancestors.Carry forward the business of the Bingley family, purchase land in the south, and restore the lost title of the Bingley family... At least, at least, Charles Bingley's plan is not to do worse than his father, old Mr. Bingley, and he also has his sister Hester Lady and sister Caroline Bingley awaited his support.

By such standards, Miss Jane Bennet was hardly the best candidate for Mrs. Bingley, either by birth or person.Even Bingley had the idea of ​​letting Miss Jane try it, but under the persuasion of his good friend Mr. Darcy and his sister Mrs. Hurst, he gave up in the process of growing disappointed with Miss Jane Bennet.Even when the youngest daughter of the Bennet family eloped with Wickham, and Misses Jane Bennet and Elizabeth Bennet begged to go to Pemberley Manor, Bingley moved to help with compassion, but Banner The Eldest Miss also has no chance of renewing her relationship with him.

In the days that followed, Bingley lingered in various dance parties, and never looked at any young lady differently.The elder sister, Mrs. Hurst, didn't say anything on the face, but she saw it in her eyes and was anxious in her heart.This situation slowly changed until my sister Caroline and her friend and brother-in-law Mr. Darcy sent a letter back to Bingley Manor from France, entrusting him to take care of Miss Isabelle Rochechouill who came from afar from France.Of course, Bentley never expected that this would be the beginning of another relationship.

Miss Isabelle Rocheshuall is a standard beauty, even if she is not much better than Miss Jane Bennet.After receiving Caroline's letter, Mr. Bingley rushed from Derbyshire to the port of Dover, where he received Miss Rocheshuall from across the sea.

Along the way, Miss Roshshuyar received amazing gazes from all directions, some purely appreciative, and some full of lust.No matter what kind of gaze, Miss Roshshuyar is calm, it seems that how people around her see her has nothing to do with her.

Mr. Bingley and Ms. Roshshuyar are both eye-catching presences in the crowded Dover Port, so it is not very difficult for the two parties to find their targets.Since the new academic year at Pierrefer Villa College is about to begin, Mr. Bingley and Miss Rocheshual boarded the carriage and headed to London after a short exchange of greetings. He planned to rest in London for a night before arriving reports.

After helping Miss Roshshuall to complete the various formalities required for admission, and explaining that Miss Roshshuart can send letters to Bingley Manor if something happens, Mr. Bingley said goodbye to her and went back to Grovener Street went.

Ms. Isabelle Rochechouillard, who came all the way from France, grew up with her grandmother in the south of France. She returned to Paris from the south to socialize not long before Caroline and Mr. Darcy came to France for their honeymoon.

If there is no accident, this lady should have lived a social life upside down day and night like other noble ladies in Paris.Sleep during the day, play in the afternoon, go to a dance, watch an opera or flirt with your lover at night.The foreseeable future is to marry a gentleman who is helpful to the family, live a life of respecting each other as husband and wife, and have lovers outside.

But Ms. Isabelle Rochechouill's luck was not very good. As soon as she returned to Paris, she encountered the most tense and confusing moment of the French political situation. The purpose of being threatened by the opponent decided to send Miss Roshshuya away from France.Only then did Caroline send a letter to Mr. Bingley entrusting him to take care of Miss Roshshuyar on his behalf.

Isabel readily accepted her brother's hard work.She doesn't miss the luxury and the so-called fashion in Paris. On the contrary, growing up in the south, she has a natural liking for natural and pure things.Located in the small town of Lavenham, Pierrefer Villa Academy just happens to meet all Isabel's fantasies about the college. It is located in a small town, far away from the hustle and bustle, noble and elegant, and full of historical heritage.

Accompanied by Mr. Bingley, Isabel took a tour of Villa Pierrefert College and got a general understanding of the distribution of the college.Isabel has a good impression of Caroline, who is like-minded with her, and has a good impression of Caroline's brother, Mr. Bingley.Starting from Dover, this gentleman accompanied me all the way up and down, and was very thoughtful, which Isabel was really grateful for.After all the formalities were done and settled in the college, Mr. Bingley retired, and Isabel had to face the rest of her life by herself.

Isabelle has adapted well at the Academy of Villa Pierrefert.The rules here have been the same for decades, the same as when Caroline left the academy.The same is a single room, and except for the maid changing clothes and cleaning, the rest needs to be self-reliant.Naturally, Isabel couldn't be troubled by this. She has hands and feet, so why must she be served by others.

Gradually, Isabel discovered that the life at Villa Pierrefert College was not as beautiful as she imagined.Especially after all the ladies arrived and the academy began to start classes, Isabel began to gradually feel the isolation or hostility from the other ladies.

Maybe because she is a foreigner?But there are also ladies from outside England in the Academy.Maybe because she is too maverick?But she just declined an olive branch from a certain faction in the academy.Isabel just wants to live a good life in the college and learn more knowledge that interests her, and doesn't want to get involved in the factional struggles of the noble ladies in the college.If this is not the case, Isabel would rather be isolated and rejected. Anyway, her purpose is not to befriend these noble ladies in order to have a good marriage or something.

Moreover, in Isabel's view, it is precisely because of these ladies who want to isolate and repel her and watch her play, that she wants to live a relaxed and happy life, and even more so, to get excellent in the college's assessment, so that these The proud and independent ladies, who made trouble when they were in trouble, saw that their actions had no effect at all, and slapped them back hard.

The days at Villa Pierrefert Academy passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was the first assessment of the academy.The uniqueness of the assessment at Villa Pierrefert College is that the results of the assessment are not only determined by the instructor alone, but also with reference to the opinions of other ladies in the same academy, and the final assessment is based on the combination.Of course, the final decision is made by the teacher of the course.

Isabel had made careful preparations before the start of the assessment, just to get a good result in the assessment, and at the same time, she foresaw that she might be made things difficult by the rest of the ladies.If she is made things difficult, Isabel is also confident that she can handle it.

The assessments of the first few courses, such as appearance, etiquette, and dance, went smoothly, but it made Isabel a little uneasy.The last day is the music assessment. The ladies can choose to sing a song or play an instrument, but if the previous lady chooses to sing a certain song, the subsequent ladies cannot choose to sing the same song again.Similarly, if the previous lady played a certain instrument, the following ladies can no longer choose the same instrument.This kind of assessment method is very novel, and it also tests a lady's strength and luck.

When Isabel arrived at the music classroom and found that there was no one there, she knew that the rest of the girls had started to take action, and this was just the first step.After rushing to the changed classroom, Isabel found that the rest of the girls had already arrived, and they had all chosen the songs or instruments they wanted to perform.All that was left to her was a Scottish Highland bagpipe lying alone in a corner.

Bagpipes are not uncommon in European countries, but their traditional use is as an accompaniment instrument for dance, coupled with their complex playing techniques, which require a lot of lung capacity, few girls can play bagpipes.Moreover, the ladies of Villa Pierrefert College did even better, what remained was a Scottish Highland bagpipe, not to mention that Isabel came from France, even these ladies who grew up in England rarely learned this bagpipe in Scotland. Bagpipes popular in the region.Obviously, this is the masterpiece of these young ladies trying their best to make things difficult for Isabel.

Seeing Isabel walk into the classroom, the ladies all pretended not to see her, but looked at Isabel's actions from time to time from the corner of their eyes.When she picked up the Scottish Highland bagpipes, the rest of the ladies either covered their mouths and snickered, or turned their heads away, but their shoulders shrugged slightly.

Of course Isabel knew what these ladies were thinking, didn't they just want to see her lose face and face.But if these ladies want to watch a good show, does she have to obediently obey them?If you want to see a good show, you have to ask her if she agrees!
