[Comprehensive classics] Darcy or Brandon

Elizabeth has never been as sensitive and sentimental as Jane, and she will not always be immersed in her feelings, so after crying in front of Mr. Bennet, she quickly recovered.But this relationship of being deceived and betrayed by her family and lover brought her great harm. From that day on, she quickly began to keep a distance from Wickham, and her attitude towards Lydia was also colder than before. many.

Elizabeth hoped that her behavior would make Wickham and Lydia understand that she already knew about them, so that they could restrain themselves earlier or separate altogether.But for the face of her own family, Elizabeth had to hide this matter from other people, and she couldn't show anything wrong when other people were around, so neither Wickham nor Lydia noticed Elizabeth. different.

A few days after this the Longbourn family gave another ball, to which the Bennets and the Militia were invited, and Wickham was naturally among them.He hasn't seen Elizabeth for several days. Every time he goes to Bennett's house to invite Elizabeth out to play, he is either blocked by Lydia or Elizabeth has no time. Wickham really likes Elizabeth, although he understands It is impossible for him to marry her in the end, but he can spend more time with Elizabeth to comfort his feelings before considering major matters of marriage.As for how Elizabeth will be hurt, this is not something Wickham will consider.

Wickham's luck was a bit bad, because he was stopped by Lydia and Kitty as soon as he entered the ballroom.Lydia is a goblin who doesn't know what reserve is. She has a stupid mind, but she treats men with great enthusiasm, which gives Wickham a lot of advantages, so he is also willing to tease her for a while.

After finally getting Lydia away perfunctorily, Wickham walked up to Elizabeth and invited her to dance the opening dance later.When Elizabeth saw him, she became angry, and her calmness disappeared, and she said, "I think Mr. Wickham's best to find other ladies to dance with, preferably someone other than me and Lydia." Miss."

Wickham didn't understand Elizabeth's words for a while, and asked in confusion: "Miss Elizabeth, what do you mean?"

"What I mean, Mr. Wickham probably knows very well in his heart. Although our Bennet family is just a small family, the girls in our family can not be bullied by everyone. Especially those shameless people, If you bully my family members, you will definitely get huge revenge!" Elizabeth pursed her lips and said with a smile, looking at Wickham with contempt and disgust in her eyes.

It was only at this moment that Wickham realized what Elizabeth meant. His expression froze, but he still took a little chance and said, "Miss Elizabeth, I think you may have misunderstood something."

Hearing what he said, Elizabeth despised Wickham even more in her heart. At the same time, she was also angry that she would fall in love with such a person, and said immediately: "If what I saw with my own eyes can be a misunderstanding, then probably in this world Nothing is real anymore. Perhaps I can remind Mr. Wickham, five days ago, in the woods in the afternoon, Mr. Wickham, you must not have forgotten what you did then?"

Wickham's face turned pale in an instant. He always thought that he was hiding it well, but Elizabeth saw the kiss between him and Lydia that day.Wickham couldn't help being a little scared. He knew that Elizabeth was the kind of person who hated everything. If he really angered Elizabeth, it would really be hard.So without waiting for Elizabeth to say anything else, Wickham turned around and walked out of the ballroom.

Elizabeth finally breathed a sigh of relief, and felt much better. She believed that after today's conversation, Wickham would not dare to approach her and Lydia again.

After the dance, Wickham did not appear in front of the Bennet family for several days, but one day after a week, the Bennet family woke up in the morning and found that Lydia was gone.At first everyone thought Lydia was just getting up early and going for a walk, because it was not uncommon for this to happen.But Lydia didn't come home until noon, and Kitty also found that some of Lydia's favorite clothes were missing from the closet, and the pocket money they put in the box also disappeared.

Only then did the Bennet family become anxious, and Elizabeth and Mr. Bennet even thought of a frightening possibility. Even Mr. Bennet, who has always been calm, had to pray in his heart that everything was just his own imagination, even if Li It was better for Dia to run away from home than to elope.

But this worst possibility will soon be confirmed. Mrs. Bennet found Lydia's letter in her sewing basket, saying that she knew that Wickham had hurt Elizabeth's feelings. Mr. Bennet She must not have been allowed to marry Wickham, but the two were so passionately in love that they decided to elope and marry, and to contact home when they had settled down outside.

After reading the letter, Mrs. Bennet fainted, and the other three ladies except Elizabeth burst into tears.Elopement, what a big mistake that is, once others find out, they will not be able to marry a good family, whether they can marry is a problem!

The Bennet family was in a mess, but Danny came to the door with a few militiamen.Elizabeth reluctantly entertained them with Mr. Bennet, and only then did they know that they had come to see Wickham.

Danny told the class that Elizabeth Wickham borrowed some money from them for gambling, and agreed to pay back the money at the end of this month, but this morning they found that Wickham and all his things were gone, and they realized immediately When something was wrong, I immediately searched Longburn and nearby places, but I couldn't find any trace of Wickham, so I came to Bennet's house to try my luck, hoping to find out from Elizabeth or Lydia Click on Wickham.

Elizabeth tried her best to keep a calm look, and said: "Sorry, I haven't seen Mr. Wickham since the ball that day, and I don't know where he will go."

"Does Lydia know, can you ask her to come over and ask?" Danny said anxiously. He was the one who borrowed the most money from Wickham, and now he regretted it very much.

"Sorry Mr. Danny, my little daughter Lydia left for a relative's house yesterday, and I don't think she will know." Mr. Bennet said, he was in a terrible mood at the moment, and his daughter eloped Forget it, Wickham's treatment of feelings is absurd, but at least he acted like a rich young man before, and Lydia at least doesn't have to worry about living with him. Now I know that Wickham is a liar, Bennett Sir, I really need to worry. Lydia is an idiot. Even if Wickham sells her, she probably won't know.

"Then it looks like we can't find him. It's really disgusting. Wickham has always shown a different gentleman's demeanor in front of everyone. Everyone thought he was born so noble, but he was just a liar. What a pity. I really regard him as a friend!" Danny said angrily, and left the Bennet family with a few militiamen in disappointment.

As soon as the person left, Elizabeth slumped on the sofa. God knows how much endurance she had to hold back the trembling without anger.

"Lissie, are you okay?" Mr. Bennet said worriedly. In fact, his own situation was not much better than Elizabeth's.

"Dad, I can hold on. If I can't hold on, no one in this family can help you with this matter." Elizabeth said, trying to look very tenacious.

Mr. Bennet smiled gratifiedly when he saw Elizabeth's appearance, but he said firmly: "No, don't stay at home, Lizzy, you are going to London with Jane tomorrow, your uncle knows a lot of people, maybe He was able to help us find Lydia."

"Father, if that's the case, you just need to write a letter. Our family should unite and overcome difficulties together. How could Jane and I leave you and go to London?" Elizabeth said in surprise, she didn't seem to agree at all. Mr. Bennet's decision.

Mr. Bennet seemed to be ten years old in this short half day. He leaned weakly on the armrest of the sofa, looked at Elizabeth and said, "Lissie, paper can't keep fire, no matter how we hide it now , the matter of Lydia and Wickham's elopement will be known sooner or later, and how will you get married at that time. So now you and Jane will go to London immediately and ask your aunt to help introduce some reliable and well-off people Mr. Fengfeng, you should find two suitable couples to get married before everyone knows about Lydia, and then..."

"Dad, what are you talking about? Why do Jane and I do this? Even though Lydia's incident may affect our reputation, we have done nothing wrong. Could it be that because of this, we have to marry ourselves off rashly? Besides, Jane Eyre’s is Mr. Bingley, maybe Mr. Bingley is planning to go back to Longbourne to propose to her! And I have been heartbroken by that bastard Wickham, and I will not believe that anyone but you How can any man get married!" Elizabeth jumped up anxiously before Mr. Bennet finished speaking.

"Lixi, I know you have always had your own opinions, but now is not the time for you to be willful. If I could, how could I be willing to let my daughter marry anyone casually. You are still young, and you don't know the fear of people's words. I I experienced such a thing when I was young. One daughter of the family eloped with a small businessman. The other daughters of the family were sought after by men before. The eldest daughter was even about to marry the son of a viscount, but Because of this incident, she was abandoned, and in the end she couldn't stand the rumors and committed suicide, and none of the remaining daughters in their family were married, and they have lived a miserable life so far."

"I will live strong, even if I can't get married, it doesn't matter!" Elizabeth said with her head raised.

"I know you will, but you will never be happy. And what will happen to Jane, have you thought about it? I beg you, Elizabeth, take Jane to London and try it. Even if It will be a great comfort to our family if only one of you is happy, at least after my death, your mother and sisters can have a place to settle down." Mr. Bennet brought some Looking at Elizabeth beggingly, she said.

Elizabeth was shocked, and then remembered that once Mr. Bennet died, the house they lived in would be renamed Collins, and if none of the sisters were married, they would not even have a place to live.This awareness made Elizabeth feel depressed. She had never felt as desperate as she was at this moment, and the source of this despair came from her youngest sister, a person she couldn't even hate completely.
