When Emperor Wu dressed as Darcy's sister

The layout of the Bennett house is obviously not as elaborate as that of Netherfield. Once you enter the door, you will see two semi-separated open areas, which are used as the dining room and the reception room respectively, and you can see it from the door.

Collins, who had arrived in the morning, was sitting on the sofa talking loudly and eloquently. He talked about his new house in Hunsford, his new teaching position, and most importantly, his benefactor Mrs. De Boer. I praised it all over again.

Judging from the frequency with which Mrs. Bennett, who was sitting across from him, rolled her eyes, it was clear that Collins had been talking about this topic non-stop since the morning.

"That's very nice. The house, the vicar, and a generous lady." Mrs. Bennet said stiffly, with a serious look on her face, and she was always outspoken, "but frankly, I don't see that it has anything to do with us." It doesn't matter too much. If you just want to hear congratulations, then I think I said it two hours ago."

Mr. Bingley, who was sitting on the same sofa as Collins, sat on the left and right sides of Jane, and was in a two-cornered position, heard Mrs. Bennett's blunt words, and couldn't help laughing twice.

He is well educated and a nice guy. This time, he really couldn't bear Collins's rhetoric.

Jane quietly turned her head to look at Mr. Bingley, and the two exchanged a helpless smile.

Collins was not in such a good mood. Ever since Mr. Bingley came, Jane had almost put all her attention on him, but she was stingy with even an occasional smile.

He coughed lightly, and with that half-haughty, half-flattering smirk that he often has with people in the parish, he raised his voice and said to Mrs. Bennett: What do you think about the compensation?"

Mrs. Bennet curled her lips angrily, the anger on her face remained undiminished, and her tone was blunt, "The opinion? The opinion is probably that unless Her Majesty orders it, I don't see any way for you to give up so easily. A great property to acquire."

A trace of embarrassment flashed across Collins' face. This is indeed the truth. Let him give up the property that is at his fingertips?That is, Her Majesty the Queen really ordered this, and he would go to the Parliament to protest angrily before he would give up.

"There's no way around it." Collins quickly recovered, as if he hadn't noticed Mrs. Bennett's anger, and said hypocritically, "But I'm willing to minimize the damage to your property."

He intentionally paused for a while, seeing that Mrs. Bennet and Jane were really attracted and focused their eyes on him, and then he adjusted the morning clothes he specially put on pretending to be elegant.

"If you don't mind, I would like to talk to a cousin about our major events in life." Collins glanced at Jane's beautiful face from the corner of his eyes, and his smile deepened. It couldn't be better."

"This will not only prevent you from suffering losses, but also make my heart less condemned-oh, God knows, when I know, my cousins ​​may face a situation where they have nowhere to go

How sad is my heart when I’m in a difficult situation——” Collins elongated his voice to make his voice sound more sad and self-reproaching, “but if my cousin has a lifelong support in the future, this situation can be completely avoided. . "

"You know, my house in Hunsford has been recently renovated, and every piece of furniture in it was carefully ordered after consulting Mrs. de Boer..."

Collins began to boast about his house again, but this time Mrs. Bennet's complexion was obviously much better, and she even began to listen seriously, and said at the right time that it would be really exciting to be a pastor's wife. happy thing.

Collins was extremely satisfied with Mrs. Bennet's performance, he kept nodding in agreement with her words, and looked at Jane with a little complacency from time to time.

But it was clear that things hadn't quite gone his way, and even after hearing his description of the bright prospects of becoming a clergyman's wife, Jane didn't seem to take her attention away from Mr. Bingley.

The two laughed and whispered from time to time, looking very harmonious.

Collins coughed forcefully, and asked Mr. Bingley abruptly, "I would like to ask you, do you have any position?"

Then he puffed up his chest and hinted: "A gentleman like you should also have a regional teaching position, so that he is worthy of you—you know, Hunsford is a rather large parish. "

Bentley is honest, and his mind is all on Jane. He didn't see Collins' offense at all, and even thought it was probably just an ordinary question. He replied truthfully: "I am not a teacher."

He ignored Collins's taller chest for a moment, and then said: "I live on the inheritance of my ancestors, but recently I will cooperate with a friend to build a factory, probably in Liverpool. The place has been found, and the summer will pass. Field trips."

"Oh, Jane, do you want to go together!" Bingley suddenly seemed to remember something, turned to look at Jane excitedly, and invited her to go to Liverpool with a smile, "Liverpool in summer is very suitable for vacation, we can go there together Stay two months—Darcy will go too, and perhaps Miss Darcy can go with her, and you won't have to worry about not having Miss with you!"

Jane smiled shyly, and replied in a low voice: "Let's see again, but I also like the scenery by the sea."

Ladies are always a little shy, this is almost equivalent to a promise.

Bentley laughed foolishly.

Mrs. Bennet looked at the two with pride and relief. Although Bingley and Jane were tender and affectionate and hadn't noticed the changes around them, she could see what Collins meant, but it was impossible for Jane to leave Mr. Bingley went to marry Collins, and the two were far from each other.Mrs. Bennett can make this decision without thinking.

She proudly introduced to Collins, "Mr. Bingley is renting Netherfield Manor. If there is no accident, he will even buy the manor—isn't it, Mr. Bingley?"

Bingley replied, "I do have such a plan now."

An estate?Collins was taken aback immediately, the money it costs to buy a manor is no small matter

The number is not something anyone can get. He immediately asked Mrs. Bennet tentatively, "Is Mr. Bingley also a gentleman from Longbourne?"

"Oh, no. Mr. Bingley came here from London for vacation, but maybe he will live here in the future." Mrs. Bennet introduced it familiarly, as if Mr. Bingley had become her son-in-law, "He was a generous and generous gentleman and probably felt that the rented flats in Chelsea were not the right place for him."

Apartments in Chelsea, London!

Collins was immediately in awe. Chelsea is a well-known wealthy district in London, where many wealthy and famous people live. Although it is not as close to Kensington as the gathering of political figures, it is far from what a young priest like him can do. affordable price.

He changed the subject, swept away the flamboyance and arrogance just now, and began to flatter, praising Mr. Bingley's good eyesight, "Longbourne is indeed a very suitable place to live, and the air here is much better than London—— You are a gentleman who really knows how to live!"

To be honest, although Jane was obviously the prettiest of the young ladies from the Bennett family, it was obvious that she was not so beautiful as to make him abandon his money and status.

Having a rich brother-in-law is more attractive than a beautiful wife!

Collins is even imagining how much benefit he will get from becoming a relative with Mr. Bingley in the future—not to mention anything else, at least changing to a more affluent area as a pastor, he can completely rely on this rich brother-in-law!

Although reason told him that this was the best choice, it did not prevent Collins from looking a little regretful, and involuntarily began to use his peripheral vision to look where the other ladies in the room had gone—in his opinion, although Elizabeth was not as good as Jane is beautiful, but also a good candidate.

Mrs. Bennet was always very sensitive in such matters, and immediately replied enthusiastically: "Lizzie will be back in a while. She is going to receive her friend, who is also a noble lady."

"Mary, where's Lizzie? She should come and be with her cousin!"

Mary, who was sitting in a corner reading a thick book, was caught off guard by Mrs. Bennett, and she reacted for a while before she said slowly, "I was here, but the worker came to find Dad, Eliza Go get him."

Collins took a special look at Mary, saw that she was wearing a messy skirt, and the color was not bright, and she looked wooden, so she shook her head without any trace—such a young lady is a bit shabby, and she really can't be a A worthy pastor's wife.

He just turned his head and took a sip of tea as if nothing had happened, when he heard Elizabeth's voice from the door, "Oh, my God, Mom! The horse in the backyard went crazy, and the workmen managed to hold it back. Dad said he would I won't be back until a while—Georgiana, I'm sorry I've been absent so long."

Although Elizabeth came earlier, after such a toss, Wu Zhao and others happened to meet her in front of the door. Elizabeth quickly reached out and asked Wu Zhao to come in first.

Collins straightened himself up with restraint, trying to catch up with Ellie.

Sabeth left a good impression in front of her, and in order not to make the ladies too proud, she deliberately made a nonchalant tone, "Ah, is Cousin Elizabeth coming?"

As soon as the words were finished, a tall figure at the door slowly walked in against the light from outside the room.

The figure of the visitor was slim and well-fitting, with well-proportioned bumps, and she was wearing a blue satin skirt. The skirt was the most popular cake pleated skirt at the moment. The waist was made into a bundle of silk ribbons in bright yellow, pink, and light green. The flowers, the most conspicuous, are the small diamonds that reflect the dazzling brilliance from all angles on the flowers, which are made into water droplets and dotted on the petals.

Of course, none of these accessories can conceal the beauty of the visitor himself. Looking up from the sofa, following the delicate chin, followed by delicate rose-like lips, a tall and small nose, and a pair of blue eyes like a lake. The eyebrows are long, and the forehead is smooth.

Collins almost gasped, opened his mouth for a long while, and finally managed to say, "Is this a cousin of the Bennett family?"

As soon as he spoke, he woke up with a start, followed by ecstasy. He stood up impatiently and leaned forward eagerly, "May I ask which lady from the Bennett family are you?"

"You must be Catherine!" Collins walked out excitedly, guessing confidently. After all, among the ladies of the Bennett family, there is only one Catherine that he has never seen.

He hurried up to the person who came, that is, Wu Zhao who had just entered the door, straightened his body and bent down, Wu Zhao could see that he was trying his best to make his movements look more elegant.

"I'm your cousin, Collins, you can call me—" he said while trying to reach out and take Wu Zhao's hand for a kiss!

At this moment, a person appeared from Wu Zhao's side, and suddenly slapped down with a vertical palm, and there was a crisp sound, and Collins' whole body was suddenly punched forward!

Wu Zhao turned sideways, and said coldly, "You're mistaken, I'm Miss Darcy, not Catherine Bennett."

The author has something to say: To tell you the truth, I prepared three hand-embroidered wishful locks and a hand-embroidered pouch with sea blue cloud patterns.

I want to give it to everyone as a New Year's gift, but after something like this happens, I really can't send it by express

How long has it been since I saw the courier brother?Haha, I can’t even remember!

I'll take it for everyone first!
