[Comprehensive classics] Darcy or Brandon

Since Anne and Edward were relatively close, Mrs. Dasherwood thought that Edward had broken up with Eleanor, and the lady she admired now was Anne.She inquired about the situation of the Steele sisters from the people around her, and she became very angry when she knew that they had no money or status.Mrs. Dasherwood, like her mother, Mrs. Ferrars, was as intent upon Edward's marriage as a noble and wealthy lady, and she immediately set her sights on dispelling Anne's pursuit of Edward.

This morning we were chatting in the living room, and Mrs. Dasherwood took Sisters Steele to sit together affectionately. She showed that she liked Anne and Lucy very much, and she kept talking with them.

"...Miss Steele, are you 25 years old this year?" Mrs. Dasherwood asked, holding Anne's hand.

Anne withdrew her hand calmly, glanced at Mrs. Dasherwood's hypocritical smiling face, and replied with a similar smile: "I am only 22 years old this year, Mrs. Dasherwood."

"It turns out that Miss Steele is only 22 years old. You can afford a family at such a young age. It's amazing! But as a young lady, it will be very hard to take care of a family and your own sister, Si Miss Teal, you'd better find a gentleman to help with the burden," said Mrs. Dasherwood.

"Hehe." Annie laughed dryly twice, and she suddenly had a bad premonition.

Sure enough, Mrs. Jennings, who was sitting next to her, heard Mrs. Dasherwood's words, she leaned over to Mrs. Dasherwood leaning on the arm of the sofa and said, "Mrs. Dasherwood, you are right, I think so too. , so I said this to her before, and Miss Steele has followed my advice."

"Miss Steele followed your advice?" Mrs. Dasherwood raised her eyebrows and asked.

"Yes, Miss Steele is a very smart lady, and the gentleman she found is very good!" Mrs. Jennings said happily, as if she had made a couple.

The gentleman Mrs. Jennings mentioned was of course Colonel Brandon, but Mrs. Dasherwood misunderstood the identity of the gentleman. She thought Mrs. Jennings was referring to the gentleman Edward, and hated her teeth. .Mrs. Dasherwood gritted her teeth and said with a smile: "I also think that Miss Steele is very smart. A smart lady is always worthy of a good gentleman. Speaking of which, my two younger brothers have also arrived and should look for one." I'm not worried about Robert because he's a lady, he's playing all day long, and he's the most sweet talker, and he's not worried about finding a good lady. But I'm worried about Edward, his character is not good for gentlemen. He is a little too shy, and he will definitely encounter some problems in terms of relationships. Moreover, my mother and I have high expectations for him, hoping that he can find a rich lady who is of the right family. If the lady he finds is not noble enough and has no If there is enough property, my mother will never allow them to marry. But Edward has always been very filial, and he will definitely not violate our mother's will for some young ladies whom he has not known."

"Your younger brother should indeed find a lady of the right family. There are not many such young and handsome gentlemen now. He must find a beautiful and rich lady." Mrs. Jennings agreed.

Mrs. Palmer also came up, put her arm around Mrs. Jennings, and said to Mrs. Dasherwood: "Yes, Mrs. Dasherwood, your brother, Mr. It is said that it is better than gray to sway the side, huh, huh, huh!

After hearing what Mrs. Jennings and Mrs. Palmer said, Mrs. Dasherwood smiled triumphantly. She glanced at Anne with disdain, and then looked at Edward who was chatting with the gentlemen with satisfaction.

Anne sighed in her heart speechlessly. It was really embarrassing for Mrs. Dasherwood to say such a lot of things. Unfortunately, she said these things to the wrong people. These words should not be said to her, but to Sister Dasherwood. But the effect is not bad.Annie raised her head and glanced at the Dasherwood sisters who were sitting next to her. Sure enough, both sisters looked a little unhappy.

Marianne was gasping for breath after listening to everyone's conversation, she saw Eleanor's hand holding her skirt tightly by her side, and couldn't bear it and said to Mrs. Dasherwood: "Don't you care about Edward's feelings? If the lady he falls in love with is not rich, will you break them up?"

As the sister-in-law of the Dasherwood sisters, it is not the first time that Mrs. Dasherwood has been treated rudely by Marian. She raised her eyelids and said, "Marian, why do you think Edward is not would fall in love with a pretty rich lady, as any gentleman would fall in love with."

"A beautiful lady?" Marianne said with her eyes widened in disbelief: "Don't you judge whether a lady is beautiful by the amount of the other party's property? If a lady doesn't have any dowry on her Wouldn’t other advantages of others be overlooked by others? Isn’t this too unfair!”

"Marian!" Eleanor pulled Marian's hand to tell her not to continue talking, but she was very grateful to Marian for saying what she wanted to say.

"Miss Dasherwood, it's okay. Young ladies will always have such doubts, but the fact is that, rich wealth can outweigh all the advantages of everything." Mrs. Jennings said with a smile .

"That's something that only a gentleman who can see money will take for granted. I believe Edward is not that kind of person. He must care more about whether the person he likes has qualities that he values, rather than how much dowry the other person has! "Marianne raised her chin and vowed.

"If he has enough wealth, it doesn't matter if he marries a poor poor lady, but if he loses everything by marrying a poor lady, I don't think he cares about the so-called love. "Mrs. Dasherwood picked up her teacup and said slowly.

"What do you mean?" Marianne asked suspiciously.

"My mother told Edward a long time ago that if he doesn't marry a lady who suits her wishes, she will inherit all the property to Robert, and Edward will have nothing." Mrs. Dasherwood said.

Eleanor and Marianne were taken aback at the same time, neither of them thought that there was such a thing, and they sat there feeling a little helpless.There was only one solution to the present predicament of their family, and that was for one of the two sisters to marry a wealthy gentleman.Wellerby can't rely on this. Although he has some property, he can barely manage to live a decent life. He needs to rely on his cousin for everything else, so if he and Marianne can get married smoothly, it will be great for Dashe Nor would it be of any apparent help to the Woods.Therefore, the whole family hopes that Eleanor can have a result with Edward as soon as possible. As long as Eleanor marries Edward, Mrs. Dasherwood and Margaret can be taken care of by Edward, and Marianne can love each other with confidence. up.

Now Mrs. Dasherwood's words instantly shattered all their calculations. Sister Dasherwood is familiar with Mrs. Ferrars. She knows that this lady likes to control her children's thoughts and behaviors. Since she said that If it is said, it means that if Edward violates her will, she will really do it.But if Edward is really deprived of inheritance rights and has nothing, how will Eleanor marry him, and how will they live with a big family if they get married?

Annie looked at the unpredictable expressions of Eleanor and Marianne with a smirk, and sighed without sympathy in her heart, what a pity!Then she smiled and said to everyone: "It seems that we'd better pray that Mr. Edward can fall in love with a rich lady, otherwise he will face the biggest challenge in his life, which is to choose wealth or love. A big problem!"

Lucy smiled and said, "What's so difficult about it? Wealth and love, most people know which one to choose! Miss Dasherwood, do you think so?"

Eleanor suddenly came back to her senses. She glanced at the smiles on Sisters Steele's face and knew that they were probably laughing at her in their hearts. She felt her heart throbbing painfully, but in front of everyone But he could only give a forced smile as a reply.

After that conversation, the two sisters, Dasherwood, were not in high spirits. It didn't take long for them to presume that they were tired and went upstairs. They didn't go downstairs until lunch, and went upstairs again after eating.

Not long after Annie finished her lunch, she went out for a walk. The weather today was not very good, and there was a strong wind. Annie was only wearing a cotton jacket, and felt cold when the wind blew.Annie trembled while holding her arms, watching the old mill not far away quicken her pace.

Since Anne promised Mr. Darcy and Miss Darcy to be pen pals, she began to write to Miss Darcy, and now it is the second letter.Because Anne was staying at Titney Heights, she suddenly started writing letters to Pemberley Manor, which would inevitably cause others to misunderstand the relationship between her and Mr. Darcy, so she discussed with Mr. Darcy to meet at the old mill here. After the letter was handed over to Mr. Darcy, he would post the letter. Today is the day they meet.

Walking across a small stone bridge, Anne saw Mr. Darcy's big white horse standing beside a cherry tree, gnawing the first ripe cherries leisurely. When she saw her, she stomped her feet and snorted.

This big white horse has a nice name called Hermes, which is the name of the messenger in Greek mythology. Annie ran over and patted the big white horse's neck, pinched its ears, and said, "Hermes , are the cherries delicious?"

Hermes lazily stretched out his long tongue and rolled a few cherries into his mouth, and rubbed Annie's face affectionately as a greeting, which made Annie smile and pinch its big ears.

"Hermo buys but does not gamble! Shells are open, red, red, red, red, red, red, red, red, red, red, red, red, red, red, red, red, red, red, red, red, red, red, red, red, red, red, red, red, red, red, red, red, red, red, red, red, red, red, red, red, red, red, red, red, red, red, red, red, red, red, red, red, red, red, red, red, yellow, yellow, hard, hard, dark, hard, dark, hard, and weak.

"Mr. Darcy, you have been waiting for a long time. I got stuck on some things." Anne apologized.

"It was not a long wait, and it is a great honor as a gentleman to wait for a lady," said Mr. Darcy, the smile on his face never fading.

When I first saw Mr. Darcy, this gentleman always had a straight face, and it was easy for people to think that others owed him thousands of pounds, but after Anne and Mr. Darcy got acquainted, she found that Mr. Darcy was not as serious as he seemed , for people he is familiar with, he has never been stingy with his smile.

"It's my honor to keep a gentleman waiting." Annie said with a smile, she took out the letter from her handbag and handed it over, "This is today's letter."

"Thank you very much, Miss Steele. Georgiana will be very happy to receive your letter so soon." Mr. Darcy said. To be honest, Mr. Darcy was also a little worried that Georgiana would be disgusted at the beginning. He introduced Anne to her, but contrary to Mr. Darcy's expectations, Georgiana, instead of being disgusted, wrote a letter saying that she was very happy that Mr. Darcy could introduce an older friend for her, and asked Darcy in the letter When will Mr. himself be able to see Anne.

Mr. Darcy was very surprised and puzzled by his shy sister's initiative, and he could only attribute the reason to Georgiana's need for someone to talk to.In fact, the fact is that Georgiana misunderstood the meaning of Mr. Darcy's introduction of Anne to her. In the past, Mr. Darcy had always protected Georgiana very well, which inevitably limited Georgiana to the scope of making friends. There are hardly many female friends, let alone those specially introduced by Mr. Darcy.

Therefore, it is particularly strange that Mr. Darcy wrote to Georgiana to introduce a lady whom Georgiana had never heard of or met, and Mr. Darcy also emphasized in the letter that this unknown It is even more strange that the young lady is someone Georgiana can talk to with complete confidence.In Georgiana's heart, no one but her family can make her completely at ease, and she also believes that Mr. Darcy thinks so, so Georgiana immediately identified Anne as her future brother-in-law.Georgiana would of course treat her future sister-in-law warmly.

"I'm looking forward to receiving Miss Darcy's letter!" Anne said, because they didn't know each other, the only thing they could talk about was Mr. Darcy, whom they both knew. As a result, Georgiana wrote several things about Darcy in the letter. Mr. Xi's interesting story is really very interesting.
