My years as a menswear boss

Back home, Elizabeth told Jane about her conversation with Wickham.

"Mr. Hyde is definitely not that kind of person." Jane said seriously, "Have you forgotten how he helped us? You, me and Mary were all helped by him."

"Yes, and I can't believe that the Mr. Hyde that Mr. Wickham said is the same Mr. Hyde as we know."

Elizabeth said that although she doubted the authenticity of Wickham's words in her heart, her prejudice against Darcy gradually overshadowed her original reason. "Perhaps there is some misunderstanding between Mr. Wickham and Mr. Hyde."

"Yes, Liz. I believe that someone is obstructing and provoking the relationship between them. We can't judge a person's character too arbitrarily." Jane said softly.

"Could it be that Mr. Darcy was setting things up between them?"

Elizabeth thought about what Wickham said, and Darcy was already a very bad person in her heart.

"My dear, I don't think Mr. Darcy is so inhuman, Mr. Bingley can't be friends with that kind of person," said Jane.

"I prefer to believe that both of them were deceived by him." Elizabeth recalled what Wickham said, the names of the people in it could be matched, and his expression at that time was so natural, without a trace of falsehood.

"My God, what a jerk Wickham is!" cried Lydia.

"Lydia?! When did you eavesdrop here?" Elizabeth looked at Lydia who suddenly appeared from behind, and was startled by her.

"I was there from the beginning, and I wanted to ask you to borrow some money." Lydia said with a curled lip. She heard Wickham slandering Mr. Hyde in her heart, and she became angry.

Originally, she had a good impression of Wickham. If she hadn't met Mr. Hyde, maybe she would have fallen in love with such a man.It seemed she was really blind.

"I think he's pretending, like a hypocrite." Lydia ignored the astonished eyes of the two sisters, opened her mouth and continued, "If you want me to say, we shouldn't have invited him to the party at Philip's house. "

She could find a whole host of faults in Wickham's head now, with dry hair, not Mr. Head's noble light blond, but with Mr. Head's cut;

The eyes are cloudy, not as clear as Mr. Hyde's eyes, but he likes to pretend to be affectionate;

The speech is artificial, not as natural as Mr. Hyde's conversation, but imitating the tone of Mr. Hyde's speech...

"Just because you like Mr. Hyde, you can't imagine another person so dark." Elizabeth said disapprovingly.

"Liz, I really want to know if Wickham gave you the witch's potion? You have only known him for a day and you trust him so much." Lydia said disdainfully.

"Lydia, what you said is too hurtful." Jane looked at the two younger sisters who were fighting each other, and quickly reconciled.

Lydia ignored Jane, put down her words and hurriedly left the living room.

"Lydia, what's the matter with you?" Catherine looked at her younger sister who had just calmed down with excitement, but came back with an angry expression, "Aren't Jane and Liz willing to lend it to you?"

"It's not because of this." Lydia gulped down a glass of water. She quickly told what she had just heard, and then looked at Catherine expectantly.

"Uh...you trust Mr. Hyde too much." Catherine couldn't help but said after listening.

"What? You also believe in that Wickham who came out of nowhere?" Lydia exclaimed dissatisfied.

Catherine is not the good-tempered Jane, her face drooped, "You only danced with Mr. Hyde, why do you trust him so much?"

Lydia is no longer obsessed with red uniforms because she met Mr. Hyde, but Catherine is different. She has become the only girl in the family who likes red uniforms. Wickham's appearance fully meets her expectations for her future husband.

Lydia was so angry that she collapsed on the bed, pulled back the quilt and got in to cover her head, ignoring Catherine.For the first time, the sisters who have played together since childhood have a rift.

The next day, Lydia and Catherine ignored each other, which surprised Mr. Bennet who had been stocking them all the time.

Lydia couldn't borrow money, so she couldn't buy the hat in the window, and the new lace pattern.

But she did not give up. In order to show off at the ball, she tried to weave lace with wool, but unfortunately the wool was too soft, and the woven things were out of shape.

Mrs. Bennet was annoyed by her beloved little daughter. Jane couldn't bear it and wanted to lend her pocket money, but Elizabeth stopped her.

"Jane, this is Mr. Bingley's first ball. You have saved money for a long time. How can you borrow it from anyone?"

Elizabeth and Jane lived in the same room. She had heard Jane mention the dress she wanted to buy many times, and she tactfully hinted that she could lend Jane some of the money.

But she was rejected by Jane's words. She didn't want Elizabeth to wear an old dress to the ball in order to save her pocket money.

"But." Jane frowned.

"Lydia has bought many hats this month, especially the black lace hat, which she only wears once and never wears again," Elizabeth said.

Lydia, who was not far away, heard their conversation, her eyes lit up, and she ran into the room regardless of her appearance.She quickly found the hat Elizabeth had mentioned, and she had an idea in mind.

Jiqiu looked at the drafted list, her heart sank, "George Wickham? Why is he on the list?"

Bingley took the list and glanced at it, "It seems to be someone mentioned by the Bennet family."

Although he knew Darcy a little earlier, he didn't go to Darcy's house as a guest. When he came for the first time, Wickham was still in boarding school, and the two met for the first time only at the funeral , but there were so many people at the funeral, he had no communication with Wickham at all.

Two people are almost like strangers.Bingley didn't understand the grievances between Darcy and Wickham at all, and Darcy was not a character who would make a big deal of it.

"Old Mr. Darcy is his godfather?" Bingley searched for a little bit of memory about him in his mind.

"Well, a very disgusting villain." Jiqiu said expressionlessly.

"Then I won't invite him." It was the first time that Bingli saw Jiqiu hate someone so much, he crossed out Wickham's name without hesitation, and thoughtfully refused to ask about the conflicts between them.

The ball arrived as scheduled, and the ladies of the Bennet family dressed up meticulously.

What surprised them most was Mary, who seemed to be a different person.

"Mary, you are really beautiful today." Elizabeth looked at her confident younger sister, feeling happy for her.

"I just made some changes based on the tips in the book. From this, it can be concluded that practice is the only criterion for testing truth."

Mary said slowly, she took off the glasses that she often wears, because of my short-sightedness, her eyes seemed to be misty, matching her elegant skirt, she looked gentle and beautiful.

Lydia pursed her lips quietly, looking down at her carefully altered dress, annoyed that the family wasn't paying attention to her.

"Lydia, your dress is so beautiful, did you change it yourself?"

Jane has been observing the status of the sisters, and immediately discovered Lydia's unhappiness. She gently arranged Lydia's crooked headdress.

"Of course! I took ten hats off to make the dress look so good!" Lydia replied proudly.

"What! You took off ten hats?!" Catherine complained loudly as if she caught Lydia's pigtails, "You're too much of a waste, Lydia."

In fact, she didn't care about Lydia destroying a few hats, but that she and Lydia had been arguing continuously for the past few days, and the two kept catching each other's little mistakes and talking endlessly.Who is better from Wickham or Hyde, when it comes to hats.

Lydia ignored her yelling completely, and the thought of winning every time Mr. Hyde was compared with Wickham gave her a great vanity satisfaction.

'Poor Katie, it's a shame to cry over such a man who doesn't stand up to the stage.For the sake of us growing up together, I don't care about her. '

In fact, Catherine didn't like Wickham that much at first, but she kept beautifying Wickham's image in the process of arguing with Lydia, successfully hypnotized herself, and fell in love with the fictional Wick in her mind m.

Elizabeth knew very well the reason for the quarrel between the two sisters. She kept silent and decided to ask Mr. Hyde herself in a while. She couldn't believe that the young man she liked could be such a person.

"Oh, Katie, Lydia, the dance is about to start, so stop arguing!" Mrs. Bennet held her forehead, and her head began to hurt again.

Jane went up to support Mrs. Bennet. She and Elizabeth looked at each other, both showing helpless smiles, and said the usual comforting words in their mouths, and finally coaxed Mrs. Bennet.

"The dance will start soon, and I believe you must expect Miss Bennet to look at you like a scumbag."

Jiqiu spoke unforgiving words, but obediently raised her head and asked Barton to tie her a bow tie.

"I think you are looking forward to it." Darcy said standing in front of the window, "don't you feel sad at all? Misunderstood by her."

"Why do you feel sad? I don't fall in love with her." Jiqiu looked at the tall and serious Patton, who bent slightly and was tying an extremely complicated bow tie for her. She tiptoed kindly.

"After all, you care so much about her." Darcy watched the young man open his arms obediently, and asked the deacon to put a suit on him.

"You are wrong, Darcy. I am very attentive to every lovely lady." Jiqiu blinked and let Button play with her, "I am not like you, I am very gentleman."
