Pride and Prejudice the Poor Princess

Jane's condition is slowly recovering, and there is no need for someone to keep watch all night.

Mary had a good night's sleep, and still woke up at six o'clock, and went downstairs to make breakfast for Jane.Patients need to eat light food, especially when they have a cold and fever, they should not eat egg products at all.An English breakfast of fried eggs, bread, bacon, etc. did nothing for Jane's recovery.

She skillfully washed the rice, filled the water, put the pot on the stove, and stirred it evenly with a wooden spoon.There was a sound of footsteps in the drawing room, and she knew it was Mr. Darcy.He also always gets up around six o'clock and lives a very self-disciplined life.

"Good morning, Miss Mary." Darcy stood at the door of the kitchen, watching the girl's busy back with a pair of brown eyes intently.This image brightened his mood for the whole day.

"Good morning, breakfast will be ready soon, you should read the newspaper first." Mary turned her head and smiled.

"Okay." Darcy's side face reflected the faint morning light, completely lost the usual seriousness.

At this moment, Mary could actually see a bit of handsomeness from his semi-dark face, which was undoubtedly a miracle for her who was face-blind.Suppressing the surprise in her heart, Mary turned around as if nothing had happened, and continued to stir the porridge.

Darcy pursed his lips slightly, and went back to the living room to read the newspaper.

When breakfast was about to be ready, Horst and Bentley, who had always been lazy, also woke up following the strong aroma. They didn't want to eat a breakfast that was cooled and reheated, which would lose 80.00% of the deliciousness.Elizabeth, Mrs. Horst, and Miss Bingley followed closely behind.

The sun had completely risen, and the golden light was spreading across the land. A carriage came bathed in the morning light. Mrs. Bennet got out of the carriage with her two little daughters and knocked on the gate of Netherfield.

"Good morning, ladies and gentlemen," she asked anxiously as she hurried into the living room, "where is my poor Jane?" She avoided Mary's eyes uncomfortably.

"Jane is upstairs, please follow me. The doctor has just arrived and is following her up." Bingley led a group of people upstairs.

Jane's situation is much better than Mrs. Bennett imagined. She finally dared to look Mary in the eyes. What made her even happier was that the doctor deliberately told Mr. Bingley not to move Jane at will, which means that her daughter can still Stay in Netherfield for a few days.Perhaps within a few days Mr. Bingley would propose to his daughter.

She became complacent, and kept asking Jane to recover from her illness, but when she walked out of the room and heard the doctor's condemnation of Mary's drug abuse, all her good mood was ruined once again.She argued fiercely with the doctor, forcing the doctor to admit that Jane's fever was entirely due to Mary.

The stalemate between the two gave Mrs. Horst and Miss Bingley a good show, which annoyed even the mild-tempered Bingley.Darcy's face remained rigid when Mrs. Bennet came to the door, unable to see what was going on in his mind.

In the end, it was Mary who pulled the two away, sincerely admitted her mistake, and promised not to risk the patient's body in the future, and then sent the doctor away.In the case of Jeon Lang Boun who has only one doctor, it is obviously unwise to offend him.

Mrs. Bennet is a short-tempered person, and her temper comes and goes faster. After sitting at the table and finally eating the delicious breakfast made by her daughter, she began to laugh again.

Elizabeth was still ashamed of her mother's reckless behavior. She was very uncomfortable during the meal, and she didn't even dare to look at or talk to the people around her. But after seeing Mary's calm and normal performance, she felt that she had made a big deal out of a molehill and gradually returned to her natural state.

"Mr. Bingley, thank you very much for taking care of Jane. The doctor said that she can't get out of bed yet, and I will trouble you in the next few days." Mrs. Bennet said politely.

"You don't need to thank Madam, Jane can stay until she is fully recovered before leaving. In the final analysis, it is our lack of care that caused her illness." Bingley took the responsibility completely on himself, and won the great favor of Mrs. Bennett.She has already regarded him as a prospective son-in-law, and the more she looks at him, the more she likes him.

Bingley was also secretly happy, wishing that Jane would stay in Netherfield for the rest of her life without going anywhere.

Mrs. Bennet had exactly the same idea as his, the difference was that Mrs. Bennet was more expressive.She said earnestly, "Mr. Bingley, I wish you would stay longer, and spend Christmas with us. Christmas at Longborn is very lively, and you will love it."

"Will it be livelier than London?" Miss Bingley smirked.

"Of course! There are 24 families participating in our party. Can you imagine the grand scene?" Mrs. Bennet raised her chin proudly.

Everyone except Darcy laughed at Mrs. Bennet's ignorance.

Seeing the contempt and sarcasm in everyone's eyes, Elizabeth's cheeks burned red, wishing she could find a crack in the ground and slip down.If she could, she really wanted to rush over and cover her mother's mouth.

A son doesn't think his mother is ugly, and a dog doesn't think his family is poor.No matter what, Mrs. Bennett was her own mother, and it was her responsibility to protect her.Mary didn't feel ashamed at all, put down the spoon in her hand, and said lightly, "In the countryside, a gathering of 24 families is a big event, and in London, a gathering of 240 families is a big event. In Buckingham Palace, you can imagine the grand occasion Is it a grand gathering of clouds?"

Bentley shook his head regretfully.They are not yet eligible for court dinners.

"So, in the eyes of the nobles, you are also ridiculous. We walk fifty steps, and you walk a hundred steps. In the eyes of those who have traveled thousands of miles, there is no difference between the two, and no one is superior to the other. " Mary wiped her mouth with a napkin gracefully, looked at Darcy who was the only one who maintained a gentleman's demeanor, raised her eyebrows and asked, "Am I right, Mr. Darcy?"

"You're right." Darcy nodded with a gentle tone.Now Miss Mary is a lion, who will scratch her paws hard if anyone touches her pride.Tough, but also cute.

The Bingley family blushed with embarrassment, especially Miss Bingley who laughed the loudest.She finally got the experience, don't go against Mary, otherwise she will be the one who suffers.

Mrs. Bennet hugged her daughter passionately and kissed her on the cheek.Baby Mary is so sweet!

Elizabeth felt extremely happy, took a fork of bacon and took a bite.At the same time, she had a better impression of Mr. Darcy, who was indeed very personable compared with the Bingleys.

Everyone fell into silence, and the atmosphere became awkward.

After all, she was a guest, so she couldn't do too much. Mary sincerely apologized to Bingley, then chatted casually with Mrs. Bennett, and asked about the situation of the racecourse by the way.

Seeing her calm and breezy appearance as if nothing had happened, and Mrs. Bennett's high-spirited conversation was full of enthusiasm and was extremely contagious, Bingley and the others returned to their naturalness and began to talk and laugh.

Finding that Darcy couldn't help but look at Mary, Elizabeth raised the corners of her lips.

"Mary, you are always thinking about the work on the horse farm. You don't want to go back with your mother today, do you?" When she said this, she peeked at Darcy, and found that he paused for a moment while eating, and the line of his jaw was tense. , the already expressionless face became even colder.

"Yes, I'll leave after breakfast, and Jane will take care of you." Mary nodded affirmatively.

Darcy tried his best to maintain a state of innocence, but the sound of spoons colliding in the dishes was silent, although it was very slight, but for Darcy, who had perfect dining etiquette, it was already considered a gaffe.He paused and remained silent for a few seconds before continuing to eat.

Elizabeth discovered this interesting phenomenon almost immediately.She smiled silently for a while before she said reluctantly, "Mary don't leave, Jane is still too sick to get out of bed, the doctor said her condition is not completely stable, I will panic if you leave!"

Seeing that Mary was silent, she clasped her hands together, pleading in her eyes, "My dear, please!"

Mrs. Bennet also joined the ranks of persuasion. She knew that the first thing her daughter did after returning home was to teach herself a lesson. It would be better to let her daughter stay in Netherfield for a few more days to calm down.

Unable to bear the entanglement of the two, Mary finally agreed.

Elizabeth was relieved to find that Mr. Darcy's ice face showed signs of melting, and he even raised his eyes and smiled politely at Mrs. Bennett.This surprised Mrs. Bennet.

After breakfast, she visited Jane again and found that she had a good appetite, so Mrs. Bennet left in peace.

Before getting into the carriage, Catherine and Lydia strongly urged Mr. Bingley to hold a dance in Netherfield, and they went home satisfied after getting a positive answer from Bingley.

Not long after they left, Sir Lucas sent a letter, inviting the men to hunt in the mountains, which received a warm response from the men.

Mary baked some snacks, made a pot of black tea, and sat in a corner of the living room reading a book, looking at Darcy opposite from time to time.Darcy's face was so clear in her eyes, and she was gradually distinguished from a group of high-nosed and broad-browed Englishmen.This is the first face she remembers, regardless of height, hair color, eye color and voice.This discovery is very novel.

Darcy felt that his ears were getting hot, and his movements of wiping the barrel of the gun became more and more stiff, and finally he couldn't help but look up at the girl, "Do you have any questions, Miss Mary?"

Mary froze for a moment, then smiled naturally, "Is this the new type of shotgun you mentioned, Mr. Darcy?"

"Yes." Darcy continued to wipe the barrel, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.This was the first time Miss Mary tried to strike up a conversation with him.

"I don't see any difference between it and a flintlock." Mary walked over and looked at it suspiciously.She used to be a tiger girl, and she received riding and archery training since she was a child. Of course, she has a different enthusiasm for guns that have replaced bows and arrows.

"Look here, this is the flash cap, and this is the firing pin. With them, the rate of fire of this gun will be faster and the stability will be higher." Darcy pointed to the inside of the butt of the gun, and found that there was something in Mary's blue eyes. Full of curiosity, he handed over the gun directly.

His generous manner attracted the attention of Miss Bingley.You know, even Bentley couldn't touch Darcy's gun, but now it was safely in Mary's hands, and her jealous eyes were red.
