[Comprehensive classics] Darcy or Brandon

At this time, the police had notified the Gardiner family. Jane and Elizabeth were heartbroken when they knew that their little sister was almost sold by Wickham. Jane almost fainted from crying, and Elizabeth, who had always been strong, also cried helplessly up.Undoubtedly, the two are full of anger towards their little sister, but at the same time, what happened to Lydia makes them sad and frightened. As long as they think that their little sister, who was spoiled and spoiled since childhood, is now locked in a dark prison, the feelings of the two young ladies Tears can't stop.

Mr. Gardiner and Mrs. Gardiner are running around in a hurry. This is really news that the sky is falling. It is so acceptable for ordinary people like them!

This kind of atmosphere has been surrounding the family, and it took a long time for everyone to relax. The two Miss Bennet asked their uncle to help Lydia and rescue her from prison, at least let them go to the prison to see poor Lydia .But Mr. Gardiner, who has always been easy to talk, put on a straight face this time and directly rejected the request of the two nieces.

Mr. Gardiner's face was a bit embarrassed. Looking for Lydia aimlessly before made him feel bored. Who knew that such a thing would happen again. It is too long for an innocent girl to follow a man for so long , Now he is still in prison, he really doesn't want to care about this matter.

Mrs. Gardiner saw her husband's embarrassment, walked up to Jane and Elizabeth, took their hands and sat on the sofa, and said in a good voice: "Jane, Lissie, it's not that I don't want to help you, It's just that this matter is really difficult. We are just ordinary people, and people like us have never been in contact with places like prisons. And if we are seen casually, it will have a great impact on our family's reputation. If the reputation is not good, our family's business will also be affected."

When she first heard that Lydia and Wickham, who had always been close to Elizabeth, had eloped, Mrs. Gardiner was very disturbed. If it wasn't for her own daughter, she would not be willing to help such an easy-going Trouble busy.Now that I heard that Lydia is in prison, I am even more reluctant to interfere in this matter. Once this kind of matter gets involved, it is very difficult to get rid of it. Their family is in London and they are businessmen, unlike Jane and Elizabeth. After finding Lydia and going back to Longbourn directly, there is no need to worry about anything. Their family will be affected by this incident and they will not be able to live a good life.

"Then let Jane and I go there, as long as uncle borrows our carriage!" Elizabeth stood up excitedly and said loudly.

"The two of you can't go there. Before this matter is known, you should visit Mr. Hardy's house immediately!" Mr. Gardiner said, looking at the two of them.

"To visit Mr. Hardy, why?" Elizabeth asked in confusion. She didn't understand why her uncle would suddenly mention this matter. Isn't it important to find a way to rescue Lydia from prison?

"Because Mr. Hardy has made it clear that he wants to marry Jane, it is best for Jane and Mr. Hardy to settle the marriage before Lydia elopes and goes to prison." Mrs. Gardiner said .

Jane had been crying, and she gasped when she heard Mrs. Gardiner say that, "Mr. Hardy?"

"No! That gentleman is ten years older than Jane, and he was married before, how could Jane marry him!" Elizabeth immediately objected.

"Although he is ten years older, Mr. Hardy is also handsome. Although he has been married but has no children, his annual income is three thousand pounds. What's wrong with such conditions." Jiading Mr. Na said with some distaste that Mrs. Gardiner has found several well-worth gentlemen for Jane and Elizabeth these days, but the vision of his two nieces is really a bit high.Jane has always selected a partner based on Mr. Bingley's standards, while Elizabeth has always asked the other party to be handsome, knowledgeable, and humorous to talk to her. These conditions are too much for their own identities. You must know that the two of them are just a little bit more beautiful country gentry ladies, and the ladies in London may not be able to find a gentleman with these conditions!

"These conditions are indeed good, but wouldn't uncle feel a pity if Jane married him?" Elizabeth retorted.

"Lixi, if there is no matter of Lydia, we naturally feel that it would be a pity for Jane to marry Mr. Hardy, but you have to consider the current situation. It is too late for us to choose a better partner for Jane. Mr. Hardy is a loyal character, he If he proposes to Jane, he will not go back on his word when things happen to Lydia in the future. As long as Jane marries Mr. Hardy, the marriages of your sisters are also reliable to him. If you miss this time, you will go back to Lambert Well, I can't find a better husband, Jane and Lissie, you two should think it through." Mrs. Gardiner said in a good voice.

Elizabeth opened her mouth, wanting to say something more, but seeing Mr. Gardiner and Mrs. Gardiner's tired looks, and Jane's face full of tears, she didn't say anything after all.What else could she say? What Mrs. Gardiner said was true. If she missed Mr. Hardy, Jane would really not be able to find a better partner in the future.

Jane felt very sad, but Mr. Hardy was her best choice.And this time she has no chance to be willful, because this matter is closely related to the future happiness of her three younger sisters. Except for such things, Lydia will never have a decent gentleman willing to marry their class if they know about it. The daughter of the Nat family, but if she married Mr. Hardy, then Elizabeth's three younger sisters could also ask Mr. Hardy to help in their marriages.

Jane choked for a while, wiped away her tears with a handkerchief, lowered her head and said, "Auntie, you don't need to say any more, I will visit Mr. Hardy in the afternoon."

"Jane..." Elizabeth couldn't help shouting, but didn't know what to say.

"Lixi, stop talking. Mr. Hardy is a good man and loves me very much. It is also a good thing for me to find such a husband." Jian Qiang said pretending to be happy.

When Mr. Darcy came, Jane and Elizabeth were already upstairs, and Mr. Gardiner was writing to Mr. Bennet in his study, asking him to come to London himself, and he was entertained only by the sad-looking Mrs. Gardiner.

"Mr. Darcy, it's a pleasure to meet you, but I'm sorry, I don't know your purpose." Mrs. Gardiner said.

"I am here on account of your youngest niece," said Mr. Darcy.

"About Lydia!" Mrs. Gardiner was taken aback, and quickly asked, "Excuse me, what is it...?"

"You should know about your youngest niece and Mr. Wickham. I came here just for this matter. I hope we can solve this matter together and minimize the scope of this matter. ' said Mr Darcy.

"You want to deal with this matter with us, but why?" Mrs. Gardiner asked in surprise.

"That Mr. Wickham was originally the child of my housekeeper. He grew up with me. My father has always taken care of him as his own child. I don't want my father to feel sorry for him." Mr. Darcy looked a little Said complicatedly. .
