He froze for a moment, just looked at Oliver, this was the first time he met a boy who said such words to him, Oliver smiled meaningfully: "In my eyes, my five older sisters are all And a fine lady, my words will inevitably carry my own appreciation. But, Mr. Bingley, I don't understand what your opinion is. There will always be gaps, for For the sake of safety, I will give you this gap, and when you really see my sisters, you will have a judgment in your heart."

Bingley smiled, but quite agreed, "Maybe you are right, I should go and see for myself. I will stay here for a long time, there is always a chance."

"Of course." Oliver said bluntly, "From the eyes of the people here in Longborn, you are a rich man. No matter which family has a daughter, they will pay close attention to your movements. Before your life is decided, their eyes will be on you. It has always gathered on you, and this is the same no matter where you are.”

Oliver looked at the sky and reminded: "Mr. Bingley, it's really a pleasure talking to you, but the weather is not very good now, maybe there will be thunderstorms in a while, I need to go home, and you should go early On the way back, if you happen to meet him halfway, it will be really troublesome."

When Oliver returned home, he was also greeted grandly like Mr. Bennett, and all his sisters looked at him expectantly.Oliver didn't mean to hide it, but said frankly: "Sisters, do you want to ask the man in the blue coat I met not long ago? It's really a pity. We just passed by. Before I could see his face clearly, I nodded and passed."

Their eyes immediately brightened, and Oliver said helplessly: "I dare not say anything else, but in terms of handsomeness, that Mr. Bingley is only a little worse than me. He looks very gentle, like A very pleasant gentleman. Nothing else, and I only met once."

This is of course a heated discussion, a handsome and rich gentleman can drive almost all the ladies crazy, even Jane couldn't help but say a few more words, she seemed to have a little bit of hope.

Invitations were soon sent to the Bennets to dine; Mrs. Bennet had planned several courses, each of which would add to her dignity, and show that she was a good housewife, but as it happened, Binger Mr. Lay was obliged to go to town the next day, and he could not appreciate their kindness, so he wrote back to them, saying that it would be delayed.This really disappointed the ladies, they had made great preparations for today.

Mrs. Bennet was greatly disturbed.She thought, this man has just arrived in Hertfordshire, why is he going to the city for something, so she began to worry; logically he should settle down in Netherfield Gardens, judging by the current situation, he often has to Drifting here and there like this, whereabouts are uncertain?Mrs. Lucas reassured her a little by telling her that he might have gone to London to invite the large company to the ball.

It was immediately reported that Mr. Bingley did not bring twelve ladies with him, but only six, of whom five were his own sisters and one a cousin, and it was the news that the ladies were relieved. Heart.Later, when the group of distinguished guests entered the ballroom, there were only five of them... Mr. Bingley, his two sisters, his brother-in-law, and another young man.

For today's ball, under the enthusiastic expectation of Mrs. Bennet, Mr. Bennet had to give each daughter ten pounds to buy brand-new dresses. You know, a week before the ball was confirmed, the whole family There has been a lot of noise, and even Oliver is dressed in a new look.

They stood on the edge of the dance floor very tactfully, and found a place to rest for a while. Mr. Bennet was still standing at first, and Oliver kindly reminded, "Dad, while the girls are having fun, Let's take a good rest for a while, otherwise, when the time comes, we'll be wandering around with glasses again."

Mr. Bennet brought himself a glass of champagne and a glass of fruit juice for Oliver, and sat next to him, just sitting. Give him a headache.Oliver just sat beside him bored, and Mr. Bennet was a little strange, "Oliver, you don't have to accompany me, go out and play, it's okay for me to be alone."

Oliver rolled his eyes in his heart, and said sincerely: "Dad, are you kidding me, even though I can dance, but look at the field, there is a lady who can let me dance without any obstacles So, at the beginning, I made it clear that I would rather stay at home alone. Dad, but you insisted on dragging me out, isn't it just to make yourself look worthless and lonely? "

In the blink of an eye, the five sisters and Mrs. Bennett were separated and walked to the dance floor without knowing where they were going.The two of them sitting here are indeed a bit bleak, the cold wind is blowing, and the absolute cold bench area.Mr. Bennet smiled wryly, "But, I'm not a person who favors others. It's too unkind to leave you alone at home. How could this kind of family activity leave you, my heir, behind."

Just trying to drag someone into the water, don't think I forgot who reminded them that I still lack decent clothes for the ball, this sinister and cunning middle-aged man.Oliver said helplessly: "Dad, I'm really happy. Don't be so considerate and leave me alone at home. To be honest, I would rather hold Xiao Ke's ears at home. Their voices are often the same This kind of torture, I feel that my heart has been traumatized. Can I leave early?"

Oliver held his chest insincerely, and Mr. Bennett refused very ruthlessly, "I still remember that when we came over, we only rode one horse. You go back first, and I will take care of them while they are chattering." After that, of course not, Oliver, we have to share weal and woe."

The old fox and the little fox cheated each other, but in the end, only two of them continued to pass the time here together.Mr. Bingley was very handsome and gentlemanly, and had a pleasant countenance without any affectation.His sisters, too, were fine women, with great manners.His brother-in-law Hester was just like an ordinary gentleman, not very conspicuous, but his friend Darcy immediately attracted the attention of the audience, because of his tall figure, fine features and noble manners, so he entered the arena less than 5 In a few minutes, everyone was talking about his annual income of ten thousand pounds.

The gentlemen praised his good looks, and the ladies said he was much handsomer than Mr. Bingley.People watched him with admiration almost half the night.It was only at last that people found him proud, despised, and fawning on him, and so resented him, and his much-anticipated ecstasy was eclipsed.No amount of his Derbyshire fortune could save him, since he had put on such a repulsive face, and he was of little importance compared with his friends.

Mr. Bennet came back after wandering around, chatting with all the people he thought he should talk to for a while, seeing his youngest son still sitting beside him resting, he couldn't help but come over and say, "Oliver, you should go dancing Yes, look, your sisters are still available, you are one of the missing male guests, oh, Lizzy is sitting there alone, I have invited her to a dance, now it is your turn , hurry up."

If it was comfortable dancing with Elizabeth, she would dance with his strength very well, and with her, it seemed that her own steps were perfected.Just in time, he heard Mr. Bingley and his friend Darcy talking about the beauty of the Miss Bennets.Especially Bingley spared no effort to praise Jane, and Darcy's indifference to Elizabeth.

"She's okay, but she's not beautiful enough to impress my heart. I'm not interested in flattering girls who are looked down upon by others. You'd better go back to your dance partner to appreciate her smiling face. There's no need to waste time Waste it on me." It has to be said that this Mr. Darcy is quite accomplished in poisonous tongue, no wonder Elizabeth completely ignored him at the beginning.She is a very proud lady.

Oliver just went over and asked Elizabeth to dance together, "My dear Elizabeth, I don't know if I have the opportunity to invite a beautiful lady like you to a dance. Please don't refuse, otherwise, my heart , because of your indifference, my dear..."

His extremely exaggerated movements made Elizabeth feel better all of a sudden, she smiled and took Oliver's hand, and went to the dance floor with him, jokingly said: "Oliver, if you want to win my heart, you are still far away gone."

Oliver naturally insinuated Elizabeth's views on Mr. Darcy, "Sister, I know you have heard the views of those two gentlemen, tell me, what do you think of them? I just stand on an extremely objective Seek your opinion."

The two were at a considerable distance from them, and Elizabeth did not hide, "Mr. Bingley is a gentle gentleman, and his eyes are almost glued to Jane. However, Mr. Darcy, he has some Too proud, but it has nothing to do with me."
