Elizabeth recalled Miss Bingley's acrimonious face in the living room. She twitched the corners of her mouth and looked at Jane, who was pale on the hospital bed. "Jane, do you think I have embarrassed you?"

"Never before, I have always been proud of having a sister like you." Jane said with a smile.

"I'm really glad to stay here and wait for you to recover. It's a pity that Mr. Bingley's sister can't stand it."

Elizabeth came to the chair by the bed, raised Jane's hot hand and put it next to her cheek, "Fortunately, Mr. Bingley tried his best to keep me, otherwise I can only leave you here alone. He really likes you. I am already in Looking forward to your entering the palace of marriage."

"Oh honey, you're thinking too far ahead, we haven't started yet."

Jane touched her younger sister's slightly cool face, "I am very happy to have you by my side."

Elizabeth thought that in the living room just now, the gentleman she thought was very arrogant defended them, which made her unable to continue to be angry with him.

On the second day, as a courtesy of a guest, Elizabeth came to the living room and sat down on the sofa.

Mr. Hurst tried to invite her to join the game, but she was not very good at poker and had to politely decline.

Everyone was in the living room except Mr. Hyde, but Elizabeth felt that there was no one she could talk to, so she picked up a book and sat on the sofa to read it.

Darcy did not participate in the game, he took the initiative to walk up to Elizabeth, "Miss Bennet, is your sister feeling better?"

Thinking of her maintenance yesterday, Elizabeth smiled more sincerely, "Thank you for your concern, she is much better."

"That's really great." Darcy said in a calm voice. At this moment, how much he wished that he could be like Hyde, sitting on the other end of the sofa and chatting with her about the book in his hand.In the end he just walked back to his desk and started writing letters to his sister Georgiana.

Miss Bingley at the poker table seemed to have won the cards, she let out a burst of cheers, and then said, "I don't think Miss Bennet can experience this kind of happiness, after all, she only likes reading and doesn't care about our activity. "

Elizabeth twitched her lips, "Miss Bingley is too admirable, I can't bear your praise, reading is just one of my hobbies."

"The ladies today are all so talented. If it were me, I wouldn't have the patience to read such a thick book."

Bingley said with a smile, he turned around and looked at Darcy who was buried in the letter, "They have beautiful voices, ingenuity, embroidery, weaving, painting and calligraphy, and some even speak multiple languages. Imagination is how to learn!"

"The talents you mentioned are essential life skills for women in life. In your eyes, embroidering a bee on a handkerchief can arouse your admiration.

I really can't agree with you.In my opinion, only a few women can be called talented women. "Darcy said without looking back.

"Of course, her appearance, self-cultivation, style of conversation, dress, and lack of social skills can't be called a talented woman." Miss Bingley looked at the cards in her hand.

"Under such circumstances, extensive reading is also essential." Darcy dipped the ink on the table with a quill in his hand. He thought that Miss Bennet also likes to read, and he didn't forget to add it.

When Elizabeth heard Darcy's words, she felt inexplicably agitated, "Mr. Darcy, I suspect that the talented women you mentioned will only appear in books. In reality, I'm afraid you don't know any of them."

"Miss Bennet didn't see it, it doesn't mean she didn't. After all, you grew up in Longbourne and haven't been to other places, so there will inevitably be some misunderstandings." Miss Bingley threw a card, and she looked at Elizabeth. He said with a smile, "I have seen many such young ladies."

In the end, she looked at the people at the poker table and continued, "Okay, let's focus on playing cards, and don't waste our minds on irrelevant things."

"It seems that you are still having fun without me." A magnetic voice sounded at the door, and Elizabeth looked subconsciously, and a smile appeared on her face when she saw someone coming.

Jiqiu handed over the whip in his hand to a servant beside him, and took off his leather gloves.

"Has Mr. Hyde gone for a walk again?" Elizabeth asked, closing the book in her hand.

"Yes, Daniel only thinks of me as the only one. If others walk it, they will be kicked away."

Jiqiu drank the water handed by the servant in one breath, "If Miss Bennet is not afraid, I can take you to see it when I have a chance. In my presence, it likes to be close to others."

"Of course not. I like horses very much. Although I can't ride a horse, I like to be close to them." Elizabeth said.

"That's really great." Jiqiu sat on the sofa, crossing one leg over the other.Rubbing his neck, "What were you talking about just now? It was so lively."

"We're talking about what kind of lady is called a talented lady," Bingley replied.

Jiqiu raised his eyebrows, "A talented woman means a perfect lady in my mind, so what is your standard?"

Mrs. Hurst aloud summarized the criteria they had just discussed.

"Mr. Hyde has attended countless high society balls, so you should have seen many such ladies?" Miss Bingley chimed in.

"I have seen many outstanding ladies at the ball." Jiqiu frowned, and she tapped her knee lightly with her fingers, "But as you said, a talented woman must be proficient in several musical instruments, painting, painting, and various dances. Multilingual, dignified appearance, elegant conversation, noble cultivation, fashionable dress, and extensive social interaction.

In addition, you need to read a lot of books, have real talents and practical learning, and finally you need a little unpredictable quality? "

"With all due respect, I'm afraid the Virgin Mary couldn't have given birth to such a talented woman."

"Pfft——" Elizabeth couldn't help laughing, she quickly covered her mouth, "Sorry, I lost my composure."

"It seems that we, Hyde, have never met such a lady." Bingley would rush to the first place every time he broke the stage, and he didn't care about his sisters and friends being slapped in the face.

Darcy's face was extremely dark. He had put down the quill in his hand since the young man had just entered the door, and watched him sit next to Elizabeth step by step.

"Oh, dear Darcy, don't you say you met several?"

Jiqiu glanced at the faces of several people present, and Miss Bingley's face was about to turn into a pig's liver, but Jiqiu just ignored her, she saw her friend's icy face, "No way, no way , How many did you say, five or six?"

"Oh my god, you are really too mean, why don't you introduce me to each other?" Jiqiu continued to bombard.

Elizabeth held back her laughter until her stomach ached. Seeing Mr. Darcy's ugly face, the depression just now was swept away.

"The premise is that you have to get rid of your eloquent habit, and don't scare the ladies away when you get close." Darcy said through gritted teeth.

"Hey, I've always been gentle with beauties, unlike someone who would only push the girl I like further and further away." Jiqiu grinned, showing her big white teeth.

Darcy subconsciously glanced at the flushed Elizabeth, and he shut his mouth honestly.

After Darcy "showed weakness", Jiqiu always gave up pursuing the investigation. She looked at Darcy's predicament and asked Elizabeth, who was blushing from laughing beside her, to open up her heart.

When only Darcy and Jiqiu were left in the living room.

"Elvis? Hyde, stop!" Darcy looked fierce.

Jiqiu hurriedly jumped up from the sofa, "Don't do this, Darcy."

The two started chasing around the card table, and soon Darcy grabbed the back of Jiqiu's neck and rubbed the young man's thick curly hair vigorously.

"Mr. Darcy, you are taking revenge." Jiqiu felt that her well-combed hair was messed up, and she protested loudly, "You awkward and childish man will never win her heart."

After kneading enough, Darcy finally let go of the man. He tidied up the folds of his clothes, "Take care of yourself, Hyde."

He watched his younger brother's usually cherished hair turn into a bird's nest, and he felt a lot more relieved, and strode away from the living room.

"Heh, man." Jiqiu combed her messy hair with her hands.

With Jiqiu's presence, Elizabeth felt that she was not so difficult in the swamp villa, and Jane's condition improved.

When Jane was about to recover, Bingley invited Mrs. Bennet, thinking that his mother must be very worried about her daughter's condition.

The day after posting the letter, Mrs. Bennet took her two daughters to the Mireland Villa.

"Mrs. Bennet, you are very welcome. I hope Miss Bennet's condition is not as serious as you expected." Bingley stepped forward and said.

"But my daughter is still very sick. She is still hot. The doctor said she should not walk around. I'm afraid Jane will be here for a while." Mrs. Bennet said.

"As long as Miss Bennet doesn't mind, she can bother me as long as she wants." Bingley was polite, gentle and kind.

"You are really kind, Mr. Bingley." Mrs. Bennet looked around the hall, "What a wonderful decoration, will you stay here forever?"

"Of course, the scenery here is wonderful."

"The rural scenery is probably more comfortable than the city, it will bring you a different feeling."

"Yes, there are beautiful places in both the countryside and the city." Bingley looked at his friend standing by the window, "You think so too, Darcy."

Darcy turned his head slowly, "I think it will be monotonous and boring after staying for a long time, quite boring."

Looking at her mother's angry face, Elizabeth couldn't help but say something in her heart, it's terrible.

Soon her worst fears were realized, Mrs. Bennet began to reprimand Mr. Darcy for his lack of breeding, and she began to tell of all the advantages of the country.

Elizabeth caught a glimpse of Sister Bingley's secretly delighted expression, and tried to interrupt, but it was of no avail.

"Mr. Bingley, you said that there will be a grand ball, right!" Lydia leaned forward and said.

"Yes, I won't break my promise. You can choose the date for the ball after Miss Bennet has fully recovered," said Mr. Bingley.

Lydia smiled happily. She glanced at the young man sitting not far from Darcy. He was holding a book and reading. Except for the moment he came in and got up to say hello, he was there like a transparent person all the time. Looking at the book in hand.

The first time she saw Mr. Hyde with a serious expression, when there was no expression on his face, he changed from the breeze in the mountains to the white snow on the snowy mountains.

To her dismay, Mr. Head did not take his eyes off his book until they left.Lydia looked at the carefully decorated new dress on her body in disappointment.
