[Comprehensive classics] Darcy or Brandon

After the lively wedding, most of the guests left quickly, but Mrs. Jennings felt that it was rare to get together with her friends, so she planned to stay in Hertfordshire for a few more days, so Anne and Lucy followed stayed.

The two sisters Dasherwood and their elder brother, sister-in-law and their family also did not leave immediately. Annie didn't quite understand why these people stayed together even though they clearly hated each other.But in fact, whether these people go or not has nothing to do with Annie and the others. Anyway, to her, they just look annoying. After a few days, she and Lucy will return to Ramsgate, and there will probably be no chance to see each other in the future. .

But life was not as smooth as Annie thought, and they had a quarrel within two days.

The cause of the quarrel was Edward. Everyone knew that Edward and Eleanor were in love, but in order to get Annie to return the pocket watch to him as soon as possible, he still behaved more with her as Annie asked. Get up close, and it looks like Edward is stepping on two boats.

Mrs. Dasherwood was naturally very dissatisfied with this, and several times privately persuaded Edward not to be with Miss Anne and Eleanor who had no property, but Edward was perfunctory every time.Mrs. Dasherwood had no choice but to write to her mother, Mrs. Ferrars, about Edward.This time it was a hornet's nest. Mrs. Ferrars, who was far away in London, was very angry when she received the letter. She wrote back very quickly. In the letter, she said that if Edward didn't stop immediately and return to London to find a wife who was well-matched. , she immediately amended the will and gave all her property to Robert.

The letter was read by Mrs. Dasherwood at tea-time, when there were only Mrs. Dasherwood, the two sisters Anne, the two sisters Dasherwood, and the two brothers Fellers.The reason why Mrs. Dasherwood did this was to force Edward to stop being entangled with Anne and Eleanor, and to warn Anne and Eleanor not to wishful thinking, otherwise even if they were really together with Edward, they would not be able to live a good life.

Under normal circumstances, for a person like Edward who cares about face and has no backbone, this kind of threat is very useful, but unfortunately this time it did not meet Mrs. Dasherwood's wish.Before Edward was forced by Anne to pretend to be flirty with her, and was forced by Eleanor to express their feelings for each other, he had reached a limit, and Mrs. Dasherwood's shameless behavior suddenly became the last thing that broke the camel's back It was a straw, and the obedient Edward was forced into a rebellious youth. He stood up with a red face and said to Mrs. Dasherwood: "Fanny, I have known about my mother's decision for a long time, but her decision can't change my love at all." , I am loyal to my feelings, and it is absolutely impossible to change it casually because of the so-called inheritance!"

After Edward finished his oath, he left in a huff without looking back, shocking everyone at the table.Eleanor sat on the side and watched in panic as Mrs. Dasherwood whose expression slowly became distorted due to anger, completely at a loss.

Marianne reacted first, she pushed Eleanor hard and said, "Eleanor, hurry up and chase Edward, hurry up!"

Eleanor hesitated for a moment, and many thoughts flashed through her mind, but in the end, her emotions prevailed, she stood up and hurriedly chased in the direction Edward left.

Mrs. Dasherwood looked at Eleanor's back and said dissatisfiedly to Marianne: "Marianne, you should persuade your sister not to get close to Edward. It is impossible to realize your idea. You must know that even if Ellie Now that Nuo is really with Edward, it is impossible to get the rich life he wants."

After hearing these words, Marian stood up angrily, glared at Mrs. Dasherwood and said, "Don't you think that everyone has only money on their minds like you? You have heard what Edward said, haven't you? He doesn't care about your family's inheritance, he only cares about Eleanor!"

When her sister-in-law lost her temper in person, Mrs. Dasherwood's expression was not very good. She folded her arms and said, "That was just Edward's angry words. He has always listened to his mother since he was a child. It is impossible to disobey our mother this time." wishes."

Marianne didn't want to listen to Mrs. Dasherwood's words at all. She snorted forcefully, then turned around and ran upstairs angrily.

Mrs. Dasherwood looked at Marianne's back in disbelief, snorted coldly and left quickly, leaving only Robert, who had been silent all this time, sitting thoughtfully.

Annie felt a little gloating in her heart, but facing the embarrassing scene at this moment, she had no choice but to pretend she didn't see anything and continue drinking her milk tea quietly, while not forgetting to say to Lucy: "This milk tea tastes really good, what do you think? Woolen cloth?"

Lucy took a sip of the milk tea in her cup, nodded and said happily, "It's really good."

The calm attitude of the two sisters made Robert less embarrassed. He picked up the letter that Mrs. Dasherwood had forgotten on the table, read it once, and laughed happily.

Annie and Lucy saw him smiling strangely, and stood up tacitly to leave, but Robert stopped them. He folded the letter and put it away, clasped his hands under his chin and said to them: " Miss Steele, I wonder if you would like to cooperate with me on something?"

"Cooperate with what?" Lucy asked.

"Cooperation against my dear brother, of course!" said Robert; "do you cooperate?"

Annie squinted at Robert, and after confirming that what the gentleman said was serious, she asked, "Mr. Robert, what kind of cooperation do you want?"

"If I'm not wrong, the two ladies seem to hate my dear brother very much. I hate him too. If he doesn't get my mother's inheritance, I think I will be very happy. So I hope You two can help me get that legacy."

While talking, Robert stood up and walked behind Anne and Lucy, then supported the backs of their chairs, kept his eyes on the door of the room, and whispered: "Actually, I have been observing the two since I came to this manor. Miss and my brother, I found that you two have a lot of influence on my brother, it seems that every time he has a good conversation with the two ladies, he will turn his head and get tired of Miss Dasherwood because of guilt Together. So I feel that if the two ladies can go further, maybe my dear brother will love Miss Dasherwood because of guilt!"

Annie twirled her fingers around the edge of the cup and asked slowly: "So, if we help you get the inheritance, what good will we do?"

"If the two ladies are willing to help, I will certainly not treat you badly." Robert said, his eyes wandered back and forth between Anne and Lucy, and finally stayed on Lucy's face, "I know the two The lady's inheritance has been inherited by relatives, I have a small manor in Derbyshire, although the house is not big, it should be enough if there are only two ladies living there."

"Deal!" Annie stood up and said, extending her hand first.

Robert immediately held Anne's hand, kissed and said, "It's a pleasure working with you, Miss Steele."

"I am also very happy to cooperate with you, Mr. Robert." Annie said, then withdrew her hand and exited the room.In fact, what she cares about is not the so-called benefits of cooperation. Anyway, their houses will not be confiscated until she and Lucy are all married. Annie just noticed Lucy's thoughts and wanted to match her and Robert. As for whether it will be successful or not, it depends on the fate of the two of them.

After Anne left, there were only Robert and Lucy left in the room, and the atmosphere seemed to become ambiguous all of a sudden, even the air seemed a little hot.Lucy was a little embarrassed, but she didn't avoid Robert's gaze. She raised her chest and raised her head, showing her most beautiful posture, and said to Robert: "Mr. Robert, don't you thank me?"

Robert immediately laughed. He approached Lucy and held out his hand to her, saying, "Of course, of course, how could I not thank you, dear Miss Lucy."

Although it was just a very common sentence, Robert's words were full of provocation. Lucy couldn't help but blushed. She stretched out her hand with a little hesitation, and then gently placed it on Robert's hand , like delivering a promise.

The smile on Robert's face gradually became smug, he grasped Lucy's hand tightly, bent down and kissed deeply on the back of Lucy's hand.

"Pleasant cooperation, dear Miss Lucy!" said Robert.

"Pleasant cooperation, my dear Mr. Robert." Lucy responded.

Annie didn't know that Lucy had reached a private partnership with Robert when she didn't notice it. When she found out about it later, she couldn't laugh or cry, and she didn't know that she should be happy that the two of them hit it off. You should still worry about the two being too reckless.

Of course, these things are not what Anne needs to worry about now. At this moment, she has changed her clothes and is rushing to the lake to meet Mr. Darcy.These days, she has communicated four or five letters with Miss Darcy. Through the communication in the letters, she found that the lady is actually much easier to get along with than Lucy. From the lines, it can be seen that she is a very gentle and lovely person, It seems to be completely different from Mr. Darcy, but it is really very reserved.

When Anne walked to the lake, she saw Mr. Darcy and a lady standing with their backs to her from a distance. They seemed to be arguing about something, and they seemed quite excited.Annie stopped, thought for a while, went around to the nearby woods, and walked to a place near the lake.

"...Mr. Darcy, I have heard you say that you are a person who will take revenge on every occasion, but I think you are too much. Even if Mr. Wickham has done some wrong things, he has changed his mind Now, you have taken away his priesthood, why can't you tolerate him staying in Longbourn. Mr. Darcy, although you are indeed a noble person, I don't think you may have the ability to influence the militia. I am You will not be allowed to drive Mr. Wickham away for no reason!" Elizabeth said sternly to Mr. Darcy.

A few days ago Jane told Elizabeth the news about Wickham she had heard from Mr. Bingley. Elizabeth couldn't believe what she heard. She didn't believe that Wickham would deceive her. She felt that Mr. Bingley I just saw a few debt notes from a few years ago, and other things are just hearsay, which may be different from the facts. Besides, Mr. Bingley is a friend of Mr. Darcy, so he will naturally favor Mr. Darcy, so Elizabeth ran to ask Wickham the truth.

Of course, it was impossible for Wickham to tell Elizabeth that he became enmity with Mr. Darcy because he cheated Miss Darcy into running away, so he lied to Elizabeth that he was addicted to gambling because of his father's sudden death and he was overly sad. It has now been completely changed.He also said that it was not his initiative to use the priesthood to exchange money to pay off his gambling debts, but he had no choice but to make such a choice because Mr. Darcy would not save him.But now he has changed his appearance and is ready to be a high-quality young man, but Mr. Darcy still dislikes him because of what happened back then, and he can't see him staying in the militia.

Elizabeth is a stubborn person. When she likes someone, she can ignore the shortcomings of others and like them without any scruples. When she hates someone, she can ignore all the advantages of the other person and hate them completely.Regarding the treatment of Wickham, Elizabeth thought that Wickham was a gentleman at first, so after listening to his explanation, she ignored his bad past. Not only did she still treat Wickham as before, but because of The story of the return of Wickham's prodigal son made him admire him all the more.

So when Elizabeth met Mr. Darcy unexpectedly today, she planned to vent her anger for Wickham.

Mr. Darcy, who was scolded inexplicably, was very angry at the moment. He waited here for Anne to come, but he met Elizabeth who came here for a walk. He greeted her out of politeness, but Elizabeth scolded her The most important thing is that Mr. Darcy didn't understand what Elizabeth was talking about at all. After he came to Longbourne, he had no intersection with Wickham at all.

"Miss Elizabeth, I don't know what you're talking about. Even if you recognize Wickham's character, please don't impose your own on others, and the matter between me and Wickham is our two. Personal private matter, may I ask Miss Elizabeth, in what capacity do you intervene in this matter?" Mr. Darcy asked.

After hearing Mr. Darcy's words, Elizabeth felt that Mr. Darcy was extremely hateful. She said angrily: "Mr. Wickham and I are still good friends. He has been treated unfairly. As a friend, I naturally have some Seek justice for him."

"Then please don't say this until you have found out what really happened!" said Mr. Darcy, and turned to leave, for he did not want to stay here any longer to talk to Elizabeth, the most impertinent lady.

Elizabeth misunderstood Mr. Darcy's actions. She thought that Mr. Darcy left because she felt guilty. She pursed her lips triumphantly, and said behind Mr. Darcy: "Mr. Darcy, you have nothing to say. Let’s talk about it, you have to know that being rich doesn’t mean everything, and everyone has a sense of justice in their hearts.”

"You can't communicate at all, Miss Elizabeth, please don't follow me anymore, okay, I won't talk to people who don't know right from wrong and who are good at turning black and white, because that's just playing the piano against the cow."
