[Comprehensive classics] Darcy or Brandon
Chapter 42
At last the day of the Travers wedding came, and the Travers had invited a very large number of guests, friends and relatives from around Meryton, militiamen from the militia, and some respectable guests from Longbourne. .Everyone stood in the church full of people, watching the pastor hold a ceremony for Mr. Daniel and his beautiful wife Susan.
Lucy clasped her hands on her chest, and whispered to Annie with eyes full of envy: "I didn't expect Mr. Daniel's wife to be so beautiful, and her wedding dress is also so beautiful, all made of high-quality fabrics, and inlaid with so many pearls." , it would be great if I could wear such a beautiful wedding dress in the future."
"You will be able to wear such a beautiful wedding dress in the future." Annie said, also looking enviously at the beautiful wedding dress on the future Mrs. Travers. The wedding dress is worth a lot of money. If a woman gets married It must be very happy to be able to wear such a wedding dress.Annie never wore a wedding dress in her previous life. In this life, she really wanted to look forward to wearing a beautiful wedding dress, even if it was just the most ordinary wedding dress.
"Yes, I must wear such a beautiful wedding dress when I get married!" Lucy said, encouraging herself in her heart, even if she only wanted to wear such a beautiful wedding dress once in the church, she must find a rich husband!
Thinking of her future rich husband, Lucy couldn't help looking at all the single men in the audience. Many of the single gentlemen invited by the Travers family were very wealthy and had good looks and personalities. If they could find It must be good for a marriage partner.
Robert, who was standing on the other side, was in a daze of boredom. Realizing the look in Lucy's eyes, he raised his eyebrows and returned an ambiguous look.Seeing Lucy bow her head shyly because of his eyes, Robert smiled with some complacency in his heart.
Robert couldn't say whether he liked Lucy or not, but he was used to paying attention to Edward's affairs, and he was used to wanting to fight for Edward's things.Although he already knew that the person Edward liked was replaced by Eleanor, he couldn't help but approach Edward's former admirer, Robert, as if he would win a game if he got Lucy.
Lucy didn't know what Robert was thinking, but Robert's idea did come to her mind, and it hadn't been a day or two.Lucy thought that if Edward and Eleanor were together, then Robert would inherit the property of the Ferrars family, and she would become a rich Mrs. Ferrars.
The vows of the newlyweds were soon over, and they all went outside to take them back to Tinyadee in the carriage.Mr. Darcy squeezed into the crowd and walked to Anne's side, and asked in a low voice, "Miss Steele, do you have a confirmed partner for the dance later?"
"No, I haven't been asked to dance yet," said Anne.
"That's very good, I didn't ask Miss to dance. Miss Steele, I wonder if you can dance with me for the first time?" Mr. Darcy smiled. The Ruvers family will invite them to the wedding. They were really surprised when they received the invitation two days ago, but since they are here, at least they have to dance at the ball later, but Mr. Darcy also finds them for a while. Miss Bingley wouldn't consider Miss Bingley if he didn't have a partner, so he had to try to ask Annie, but fortunately Annie hadn't received the invitation yet.
When Mr. Darcy inquired, Anne had already guessed that this gentleman probably wanted to invite her to dance. Of course, she had no reason not to agree. You must know that it is very honorable to be invited to the opening dance by a gentleman of Mr. Darcy's status. one thing.No matter how much she has seen the world before, as a woman, it is impossible not to have a sense of vanity in her heart.
"Of course, I'd love to dance with you." Anne said, thinking that she would be envied by many ladies, especially that Miss Bingley, who would hate her so much.
"Then I'll go there first, and we'll meet in the ballroom later." Mr. Darcy nodded and said, and then separated from Anne and walked to Mr. Bingley and the others.
When Mr. Darcy came to him, Mr. Bingley looked back at Sister Steele, and he said to Mr. Darcy with a teasing smile: "Fitzwilliam, you seem to be with that Miss Steele recently. It's very close!"
"What are you thinking, Charles," said Mr. Darcy gravely.
"Am I delusional?" said Mr. Bingley, with a deeper mocking smile, "well, then I am delusional, then, my dear Fitzwilliam, can you tell me what you just said to that lady?" Did you say something, you seem to have a very pleasant chat!"
Mr. Darcy leaned on his cane, raised his head and glanced at his friend out of the corner of his eye, and said, "I just invited Miss Steele to the opening dance later."
"What?" Mr. Bingley was very surprised. He immediately looked back at Miss Bingley who was chatting seriously with Mrs. Hurst, and said, "Caroline has been waiting for your invitation. If she knows that you have invited Mrs. Miss Teal's going to be mad."
"That's not my business, Charles. It's your own responsibility to persuade your sister not to fall in love with a man who can't love her stubbornly." Mr. Darcy said, and then strode away with his head held high.
Mr. Bingley stood there for a moment, then heaved a loud sigh with his eyebrows raised.
The Bennet family walking not far away has been very enthusiastic about Mr. Bingley's affairs recently. Mrs. Bennet firmly believes that Mr. Bingley will propose to Jane during this time. For the wedding of the Raffles family, they may propose to Jane today or in the next few days because they are looking forward to their wedding.Although Jane herself disagrees with her idea, the Bennet family is indeed looking forward to Mr. Bingley's proposal, so they can be said to be paying attention to Mr. Bingley's movements anytime and anywhere.
At this moment, Mr. Bingley's dejected look was immediately noticed by Jane and Elizabeth. Jane held Elizabeth's arm and said worriedly: "Lissie, do you think Mr. Bingley has encountered some problems? Look at him. What an ugly face!"
"Can't you see it?" Elizabeth curled her lips. She had been looking in Mr. Bingley's direction, so she noticed that Mr. Bingley's face turned bad after talking with Mr. Darcy. And she also saw that the way Mr. Darcy spoke just now was a little too arrogant, which didn't seem like the attitude a friend should have.Elizabeth believed what she saw, so she immediately decided that Mr. Bingley's ugly face must be because Mr. Darcy had said something unpleasant to him, so she said: "Jane, I think Mr. Darcy must be bullying Mr. Bingley." Well, I thought you could go over and comfort Mr Bingley."
Jane knew from Mr. Bingley that Mr. Bingley and Mr. Darcy were very good friends, so she didn't believe that Mr. Darcy would bully Mr. Bingley, although she also saw Mr. Darcy's appearance when he spoke just now.She said to Elizabeth: "Lissie, they are good friends, just like you wouldn't bully Charlotte, Mr Darcy can't bully Mr Bingley either, I believe Mr Bingley must have other reasons for being like this. I think if he invites me to dance later, I can ask and tell you when I come back."
Elizabeth didn't bother about whether Mr. Darcy bullied Mr. Bingley, anyway, she had already confirmed this point in her heart. After hearing Jane's words, she said, "Jane, why don't you go there now, I know Mr. Bingley will be sure later." You will be invited to the opening dance, but there is still some time before the ball, and you should not waste your time with Mr Bingley."
Jane pursed her lips and hesitated in her heart. She really wanted to go over and talk to Mr. Bingley, but with her character, she couldn't do anything so proactive, so she could only say: "Lixi, girls should be more reserved. There's a lot of talkative women out there waiting to catch us and talk nonsense."
Elizabeth stared speechlessly, and said, "Jane, the whole of Longbourn knows that you and Mr. Bingley are in love. It's only natural for you to walk together, and no one will blame you."
That being said, Jane still didn't go there after all. Elizabeth couldn't stand it and walked away. She needed another object who agreed with her to chat with, so she walked to Charlotte, who had become Mrs. Collins.
Charlotte and Mr. Collins had been married a few days before, and Mr. Collins had expected them to return to Hunsford, Kent, which was Mr. Collins' parish, as soon as they were married.However, Charlotte had received an invitation from Traverse Manor a few days ago. Mr. Collins would never refuse an invitation from a respectable family, so they postponed their trip.
Elizabeth ran to Charlotte's side. She looked left and right to see her annoying cousin, and asked, "Charlotte, where is Mr. Collins?"
"He went to get to know the decent guests of the Travers family." Charlotte said with a little helplessness.
"That's better than staying with you," said Elizabeth, shrugging her shoulders, and taking Charlotte aside, she told her what she had just seen. "...Mr. Bingley is such a good-tempered person. I really don't understand why he should be friends with such an arrogant and conceited person as Mr. Darcy. If I were to see that face every day, it would be very uncomfortable."
"No one of us can tell why two completely different people have friendship, so we shouldn't judge who and who should be friends. After all, it's someone else's business. Whether we get along comfortably or not These outsiders don't know. And Lissie, you didn't hear what they said, maybe Mr. Bingley was not in a good mood at first?" Charlotte said, her eyes couldn't help looking at Mr. Bingley, the sun was shining The gentleman's golden hair made his whole body look shiny, and his already handsome face looked even more attractive.Charlotte sighed slightly in her heart, Mr. Bingley is a person who is as warm as sunshine, but she is a person who is like a weed in the corner, the two of them are destined not to be together.However, Charlotte felt a little relieved. The gentleman once invited her to dance an opening dance, and the scene of just 10 minutes would be one of the most wonderful memories in her life.
After calming down her emotions, Charlotte heard Elizabeth complaining about her dissatisfaction with Mr. Darcy, and suddenly said: "Lissie, Mr. Darcy and Miss Steele seem to be getting very close recently."
"So what?" Elizabeth asked unhappily. It is his own business that Mr. Darcy likes to get close to any lady, and it has nothing to do with her at all, and the ladies Mr. Darcy contacts are probably all It was Miss Bingley's character, and she didn't want to know about such things.
"Do you think Mr. Darcy will invite you to the ball to-day?" said Charlotte.
"I won't dance with him, because Mr. Wickham can't come to today's ball because of his relationship. I won't be happy dancing with anyone." Elizabeth said, thinking of Wickham saying that he didn't want to see Mr. Darcy He looked even more unhappy.
Lucy clasped her hands on her chest, and whispered to Annie with eyes full of envy: "I didn't expect Mr. Daniel's wife to be so beautiful, and her wedding dress is also so beautiful, all made of high-quality fabrics, and inlaid with so many pearls." , it would be great if I could wear such a beautiful wedding dress in the future."
