When Emperor Wu dressed as Darcy's sister

The United Kingdom is almost entirely wrapped by the ocean, and the entire country is soaked in the mild monsoon. Even in midsummer, the inland areas are not too hot, especially the rural town of Longbourn.

In the season of pleasant temperature in May, coupled with a few moderate rains that soaked the land, the small soil slope outside the village of Longborn was already covered with knee-high weeds.

Ever since Elizabeth came back from Hunsford and helped her mother share more housework, and the youngest sisters Lydia and Catherine were more honest and willing to learn something from her mother, the eldest daughter of the Bennett family Jane was much more relaxed, and often went to such a grassy slope outside the village alone, and sat for most of the day.

On the contrary, it was Mrs. Bennett. Mr. Bingley never came back, and there was no news from her. She looked at Netherfield with a lot of anger, and she always complained that she had a headache. From time to time, she wanted to find reasons to talk to Bennett. The husband quarreled, and even Elizabeth, the most resourceful in the family, was helpless.

Mrs. Bennet was finding fault again and quarreled with Mr. Bennet. Jane knew why her mother was so impatient, but Mrs. Bennet refused to tell her directly that this gentle and shy girl really I didn't quite get used to this kind of atmosphere, so I had to sneak out and go to the grassy slope I used to go to quietly.

Lydia and Catherine were careless and didn't notice the embarrassment of the elder sister. Only Elizabeth felt uncomfortable and followed Jane quietly.

"Dear Jane," Jane stood on the top of the grass slope and looked at the path in the distance. Elizabeth couldn't help but sighed secretly, hugged her from behind with a smile on her face, and joked, "Are you going to pick a bunch of flowers and give it to your mother?" Is it so that she won’t be so irritable because of the hot weather—to be honest, Mom has been a little bored recently, if this continues, Dad won’t be able to bear it anymore!”

Jane's body froze slightly, and she relaxed after hearing Elizabeth's voice.She lowered her head, fiddled with the weeds that occasionally blew into her palms due to the wind, and laughed at herself: "Lizzie, don't you know why my mother is so irritable? At this time, unless our sisters can find her immediately A son-in-law who earns five thousand pounds a year comes back, otherwise no amount of beautiful flowers can make her happy."

The smile on Elizabeth's face faltered. She hadn't told Mrs. Bennet that Darcy had proposed to herself. It was because she knew her mother's nature well and told her, could she still expect to keep a low profile? ?Elizabeth can assure you that within a day the whole of Longbourne, no, the whole of Meryton will know that the second lady of the Bennet family has been proposed by a gentleman with an annual income of ten thousand pounds!

Jane was sad enough, and Eliza didn't want to irritate her with her good news at this time.

What's more, she still had a small hope in her heart-she had written to Darcy about this matter, in case Mr. Bingley could change his mind under the persuasion of his friends?

Even though she was influenced by Wu Zhao, Elizabeth also disapproved of Jane marrying a volatile person, but looking at Jane's appearance and Wu Zhao's promise to Bentley, perhaps it was a matter of fact.

There may be a turning point in love.

Even though she was thinking this way, she couldn't tell Jane these words, and she didn't know how to comfort her at this time, so she could only comfort her dryly. Seeing Jane's frowning expression, Elizabeth could only carefully reveal a few words , "Gina assures me that Mr. Darcy's friends will never be so bad. I have written in my letter, and perhaps there will be news soon."

The fire in Jane's eyes suddenly lit up, and she hurriedly took Elizabeth's hand earnestly, and thanked her repeatedly, and then she was willing to confide a little bit of her own thoughts, "To be honest, Lizzie, I don't want to believe that Charles would be like this Man—was his love for me before all fake? Maybe you are right. Sister Bingley is not as kind and generous as I thought. I still can't believe what she said to me. "

Elizabeth heaved a sigh of relief when she heard this, but she thought about it. The Bingley sisters had no good intentions!She immediately wanted to agree with Jane's words, but before the words came out, she hesitated——

"If you want a person to really see who is sincere and who is fake, it is not useful to rely on your earnest persuasion-it is best to let her find out by herself, and you don't need to say anything. Are bad-hearted people afraid that they won’t see it a second time after seeing it once?”

Elizabeth's mind quickly flashed what Wu Zhao once said. She is now telling Jane bad things about the Bingley sisters, such as "I said that a long time ago", "I said it right?" and so on.Although Jane was deeply impressed at the moment, she listened to it, and vented her sullenness in her heart, but there is no guarantee that she will still think so after she really achieves good things with Bentley, so isn't she talking in vain?

"You can't get to know someone after a day or two of dating." In the end, Elizabeth just said this lightly, without further mentioning it.

But Jane took her words to heart-these words were of great use when Catherine tried to provoke her in the early stage after she married Bingley.

"Okay, after all, it's hot outside, and if you continue like this, you'll be tanned." After explaining for a while, Elizabeth smiled and extended her hand to Jane, inviting her to go home, "Mom ordered the cook to make biscuits, don't you want to try them?" ?”

Jane's mood became much brighter, and she finally looked at the small road in the distance reluctantly, and saw that there was no carriage coming, she nodded with regret——

In addition to the reason why she came to this small grassy slope because it was really quiet and undisturbed, it was also one of the reasons why it was the closest place to the main road.Perhaps Bentley wanted to give herself a surprise, and Jane was still dreaming that one day she would be able to see Bentley's smiling face from this road.

Unfortunately, so far, it is still disappointing.

Elizabeth secretly looked at Jane's hopeful and disappointed face, and it was really difficult to speak.

She had received a letter from Darcy, saying that in two days at the latest he and Mrs. de Boere would be at Longborn to call on the Bennets and discuss their marriage.Elizabeth can no longer procrastinate, she must tell her parents about this matter, otherwise, when Darcy comes to the door, will they receive him without knowing it?

?

Elizabeth couldn't imagine that her mother would make a big joke!

But the close friendship with Jane was different from other sisters, which always made her worry. Elizabeth had to consider Jane's mood, so she followed her quietly today, trying to avoid others telling Jane first.In case mother knew the news, she would put all her thoughts on herself and neglect her already sad sister.

"Uh, Jane, actually I have one more thing to tell you..." Elizabeth hesitated for a while, but decided to speak directly.

"What?" Jane brushed her hair that was blown away by the wind, and looked at Elizabeth suspiciously.

Elizabeth turned her head to look to one side, and said carefully: "Well, in Hunsford, we ran into Gina and her brother who came to visit relatives. You know, Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy..."

Jane was a little confused, but she still nodded, saying that of course she remembered that outstanding gentleman, "He is a friend of Charles, although he is silent, but I remember that he was really nice to his sister, and he was also a very nice gentleman— —Oh, you and Miss Darcy are friends, and you must be having a good time!"

"Ha, and, when I was here, I still remember that Mr. Darcy seemed to be interested in you." Jane blinked playfully, as if she wanted to tease Elizabeth, but she soon remembered Bingley, and the brilliance on her face dimmed. Come down, smiled wryly, "But how could gentlemen like them..."

Seeing that the topic was going wrong, Elizabeth quickly intercepted it and said first, "Yes, it's him! He proposed to me!"

"I really fall in love with you..." Before Jane could react, the half-sentence left in her mouth gradually fell silent. It took a long time to react, and she repeated it almost inconceivably, "A proposal? He is with you Marriage proposed!"

Elizabeth nodded quickly, "In Hunsford, uh, the two of us just..."

She was embarrassed to continue in the middle of her sentence, after all, she was just a girl in Taoli Nianhua, no matter how lively she was usually, she was always a little embarrassed when it came to this matter.

Elizabeth peeked at Jane's face while talking, for fear that her affairs would cause secondary harm to Jane.

I don't think Jane was stunned for a while, but she soon became ecstatic. She shook Elizabeth's hand desperately, and her happy smile was about to fly out of her cheeks, "Is this true? Oh , my dear Lizzie! You're getting married! And such a gentleman! Tell me, I'm not dreaming, am I?"

"No, no, no, I also want to apologize to you—please forgive me for saying that Mr. Darcy is not easy to get along with. There is no one better to get along with than him! He is going to be my brother-in-law!"

Jane was so happy that she was incoherent, and Elizabeth was completely relieved.Every time Jane said a word of congratulations, her mood improved and her sweetness increased by one degree. In the end, she even forgot about the Bentley, and told Jane happily and a little shyly that she had received Mr. Darcy The shock and disbelief at the proposal and the overjoyed mood came.

"If I ask you, Mr. Darcy must have

Netherfield has his heart set on you, otherwise why would he propose so soon?Counting before Hunsford, you didn't even meet again! "

Jane kept nodding her head, and said to Elizabeth that she had long seen how affectionate Mr. Darcy was, "Lizzie, you haven't told your mother about this happy event, have you?"

Elizabeth shook her head, "I haven't, you know, I..."

Jane quickly interrupted her with a smile, "Let's go home now, I'll tell mom, you go tell dad. Make her happy, I bet, after hearing this good news, mom won't have a headache right away, And from now on, never again!"

Jane was so happy that even Elizabeth's mood was lifted, and she experienced the excitement again, but Jane's matter was still buried in her heart.She smiled a little happily and a little embarrassed: "I thought you would be uncomfortable, but I dare not say it all the time."

"Why?" Jane glanced at Elizabeth in surprise, and then said seriously, "Although I'm sad about Charles, it doesn't mean that I can't see my sister find a good home! You are my dearest and dearest Dear sister!"

"Dear Jane!"

Elizabeth suddenly stepped forward and gave Jane a big hug. There were even tears of joy on her face. She didn't know what to say anymore, but kept repeating "Dear Jane"...

The little sense of distance that the two sisters originally had due to their gradual growth dissipated at this time. Like the two most carefree children, Jane and Elizabeth held hands and happily looked at Benedict. Go to the Te family's hut.

-------------------------------------

Just as Jane was telling the truth, Mrs. Bennett was lying on the sofa at home at this time and while instructing the maid to tidy up the housework, she yelled at Mr. Bennett who was opening the letter on the armchair and had a headache, "Are you here?" What are you doing? Don’t bother me, I’m having a headache! Headache!”

She repeated it loudly several times, which startled Lydia, who wanted to come and lean on her intimately, and she didn't dare to act like a baby anymore, so she quickly dragged Catherine to sit on the sofa on the other side obediently.

Mr. Bennett glanced at the mother and the three of them over the glasses, and replied indifferently: "Don't you see that I am opening the letter, ma'am?"

Without waiting for Mrs. Bennet to take the opportunity to complain, he said to Lydia and the two: "It's hard for you to stop yelling at home, and now you have changed your mother-I don't know how Miss Darcy taught you. , Mrs. Bennett should follow her for a few months."

Lydia shivered involuntarily when she thought of those days. When she heard what Mr. Bennet said, she only dared to smile embarrassingly and did not answer.

Mom and Dad still think that she just lived with Miss Darcy for a few months. After seeing the noble lady, she gradually changed herself. They don’t know how she endured hunger in the cold wind, washed, cooked, and took care of the baby in those few months. , beware of hooligans who may come at any time to ask for debts.

Fortunately, Mr. Bennett didn't intend to hear his daughter's reply. He just used it to satirize Mrs. Bennett.

Forget it, he shook the envelope in his hand, snorted and said with a laugh: "Ha, Mr. Collins' letter—maybe I should wait for Lizzie to come back and read it, otherwise there will be no one who can enjoy the happiness with me!"

It’s okay not to mention Elizabeth, but when I mentioned it, Mrs. Bennet was so angry that her head burst open. She pushed the armrest of the sofa vigorously and shouted: "Your good daughter! 'Enjoy happiness' with you--I See if you can keep her happy for a few more years! After you die, we will be kicked out by Collins and reduced to the streets, that will be happiness!"

This touched Mrs. Bennett's pain point, and she quickly chattered, "Your good daughter rejected Collins' marriage proposal and gave up our big family fortune to that stupid girl Lucas-now I have no face See Mrs. Lucas, they must be laughing at me behind my back!"

"A good pastor's son-in-law just flew away like this! She is your good daughter! I want to see, who else will marry her in the future? Who else has such good conditions!"

Mrs. Bennet was frothing, but Mr. Bennet was used to doing his own thing in such an environment. "It seems that I can't wait for Lizzie to come back and read the letter with me." He sighed somewhat regrettably—sorry that no one in reading Collins's bullshit letter could understand his biting, veiled sarcasm.

Although the letter is long, it would be boring to read for those who did not join in. Mr. Bennett quickly finished reading this long, confusing, and incomprehensible letter. At this moment, Bennett The wife just blushed and gave an impassioned tirade that Elizabeth would never meet such a good man again to marry her.

"She'll be an old girl—or marry a wretch with an annuity of one or two hundred pounds, and there can't be such a fine man any more—a clergyman! A clergyman who will inherit our estate!"

Mr. Bennet replied calmly: "No, ma'am, perhaps you are wrong."

"What? What did you say?" It's not that Mrs. Bennet didn't hear what he said, but she was a little abrupt and surprised. After all, Mr. Bennet was only silent at this time and had never spoken.

"Look here—" Mr. Bennett rarely satirized her words, but pointed to the upper part of the letter with a calm face, and read, "'After I and my wife have greeted the health of the two elders, I will respect my sincerity. A few words about a happy event in the mansion. The second lady of the mansion, Elizabeth, is about to leave the court, and the chosen Yulang is a man of great wealth and honor in the world.'”

"This man is young, Fu Hong, and he has all the things that mortals hope for in the world: rich family wealth, noble family status, generosity and support, and boundless power..." 1

It was the first time that Mrs. Bennet listened to Mr. Bennet so seriously. She opened her mouth and stared at the letter for a long time, and stammered, "Who? Who is this talking about?"

"Why don't you come and explain to us yourself, little Lizzie?" Mr. Bennett ignored her, but looked back with a serious face—the two sisters, Bennett and Sisters, were standing there with happy faces.
