Catherine couldn't keep up with Ya talking in the room: "Lydia, tell me the truth, what do you think about Colonel Carter?"

Lydia, who was always flamboyant, actually blushed and muttered silently.The alarm sounded in Mary's heart, and she asked, "You don't really like him, do you?"

"Didn't I say, Colonel Carter is mine! Even if it's not now, it will be in the future!" Lydia was overly shy, and quickly resumed her little queen posture, and glanced at the shocked Mary with contempt.

"Oh my God, Lydia, you're only 15!"

"I'm 16!" Lydia retorted.

"That's still young, do you know what love is?" Mary couldn't help but worry about Lydia, the youngest, and she remembered how many girls in her previous life started with puppy love, and were deceived by men. thing.

"Mary, how many girls are getting married at this time. I'm not young, and I know what I want. As soon as I get close to Colonel Carter, I blush and my heart beats. I like this feeling. Don't tell your parents, I I am afraid that they will disagree and dislike Colonel Carter for being too old, you must know that I have not won Colonel Carter yet."

After hearing Lydia's words, Mary was stunned and terrified. Could it be that she was too old to keep up with the times?

Lydia patted Mary on the shoulder, her eyes seemed to say: "You are still far behind!"

Mary had no choice but to remind Lydia: "Then you have to protect yourself and don't do anything wrong."

"Got it, I'm so long-winded." Lydia waved her hand and walked out of the room without taking a cloud.

32 Chatter Collins

The conversation between Mary and Lydia was just a small episode, but it reminded Mary that she should pay more attention to Lydia, which is what a good sister should do.This led to Mary following wherever Lydia went, more diligent than Catherine.

But now, Mary is still excited about the cousin she has never met.Some time before lunch, Mary heard a knock at the door.Without waiting for the servant to open the door, Mary went to open the door happily, shouting: "Cousin Collins, hello, I'm Mary!" Man is not Collins at all, but the wind.

"Cousin Collins?" Feng, who knocked on the door, narrowed his eyes dangerously, and heard another man's name from Mary's mouth.With a gentle smile, the wolf in sheep's clothing held a small box of pastries and handed it to Mary.

"Miss Mary, this is a Chinese pastry. I hope you like it." This time, it was a good time. Mary hadn't eaten a Chinese pastry for a long time, and she missed it very much.

"Really? Thank you so much." Mary smiled and narrowed her eyes, like crescent moons.This joy made the wind gushes out a warm current from the bottom of his heart, this is the feeling, what he wanted.

Mary's surprise cry attracted other sisters, and Mr. Bennet also came to receive Mr. Feng.Mary is not a stingy person. After opening the box, she began to distribute pastries to others. Everyone ate the pastries brought by Feng and was full of praise.Catherine, who had a small appetite, ate a few more pieces, and was more satisfied with the arrival of the wind.But for some reason, they always feel chills down their backs when they eat it?

Mary only ate two or three yuan, and the box was empty, and she felt a little disappointed.

Feng, who had always put his mind on Mary, immediately understood, and whispered to Mary, "Next time you come to Netherfield as a guest, I will make it for you." That's right, only Feng is Chinese and can do this. When making cakes, he disregarded the ideas of Confucian gentlemen who stay away from the kitchen, and was willing to make cakes himself, just remembering that Mary said that she liked Chinese cakes.

As a result, Mary didn't eat a few dollars, and all of them went into the stomachs of other people. Of course, the wind who had worked hard all morning was not happy with those people.

Mary nodded, and sent another good card to Feng.

Taking advantage of this time, Feng has already found out the identity of Collins from the Bennet family. It turned out that Collins was only here as a guest, Mary's cousin.In the concept of wind, cousins ​​are the most common pairing of husband and wife.He thought to himself, Collins had better choose another cousin instead of pestering Mary.

It was almost lunch time, so Feng was naturally asked by Mr. Bennet to stay for dinner.He said that it is better to obey than to be respectful, but in fact this was planned by him long ago, and he chose such a time to come.

Mary didn't even think about the old-fashioned idea that cousins ​​are a couple, and she just thought that the cousin was here as a guest. You must know that marriages between close relatives will give birth to deformed babies. Mary still retains the idea of ​​​​the previous life.

After waiting for a while, as Mr. Bennet said, Collins came to Longbourne when it was almost time for lunch.In order to express his welcome, Mr. Bennet came out of the study rarely, and led his family, big and small, against the cold wind, and stood at the door to welcome Collins.Collins, who had never seen such a battle before, was flattered and kept bowing his thanks.

As soon as Feng saw Collins, he was relieved.Although Collins was tall, he was a little fat, well-proportioned, and a little reserved in his speech and demeanor.

But who is Mary, she always does something unexpected.

It was very kind of Mr. Collins to ask whose cousin it was, when they were all at table.

Mrs. Bennet said unhappily: "Our family has no money, but we can still afford a cook. We don't need our daughter to be a servant."

After hearing these words, Collins quickly apologized, but was interrupted by Mary: "I, I cook, oriental dishes, specially here to welcome my cousin." Feng realized that he had relaxed too early.However, Feng was very pleasantly surprised to be able to eat the dishes cooked by Mary himself, and when he was about to go back, he would show off to Darcy.

Mary showed great curiosity about this cousin and asked various questions at the dinner table.Collins waited for Mary to ask, and immediately opened up the chatter box, and first praised Mrs. Catherine de Bourgh, who had chosen him as pastor.

"Kitty, she has the same name as you," said Mary in surprise.

Catherine curled her lips in disdain, only her third sister would be surprised by such a thing after living for so many years.

"Mary, you can't say that. Lady Catherine is unique. Although many people say that she is arrogant, I think that is the embodiment of her elegance and nobility. She is so kind and kind. She treats me well and takes care of me. life..." Collins resumed his praise of Lady Catherine.

Mary didn't want to hear any more, and asked again: "Does Lady Catherine have no children?"

"She has a lady who is the heir of our area." After hearing what Collins said, Mrs. Bennet lamented that the lady's luck was not like her own poor daughter.Collins promised that he would make it up, and then went on: "It's a pity that the lady is weak and sick, otherwise she will be versatile..." Another flattery, as if the de Boer mother and daughter were standing in front of him.

Mary had heard enough of this topic, so she asked some other questions. Collins was really carried away by Mary's thoughts and started talking about his

Property and house furnishing.I couldn't finish talking at the dinner table, and moved to the living room.

Mary's thinking jumps quickly, one topic at a time, without repetition, politics, history, literature, painting, etc., all aspects are involved.People like Collins who know everything and don't know much are the most suitable people to talk about.Moreover, Collins was completely led by Mary, but he hadn't noticed it yet.

Mr. Bennet looked at the two people who were chatting enthusiastically, and finally he was able to interject a sentence: "Then Mr. Collins, your compliments were thought of in advance by you, or made up on the spur of the moment."

"Oh, this is not an easy job. Sometimes I will express my thoughts and write them down, and when I say them, I have to show that I think them on the spur of the moment. But sometimes, I can make up a lot on the spur of the moment. Of course I also I feel it." Collins was a little smug when he said these words.

When Mr. Bennet asked clearly, he was satisfied.If it was as he had guessed, Collins was not a stupid person, and Bennet didn't need others to share his happiness. He just glanced at Elizabeth secretly, expecting to be praised by his daughter.

Regardless of what other people think, Lydia couldn't bear it anymore, stood up and said: "I heard that Uncle Philip dismissed a clerk, this is really annoying..." Feng secretly told Lidi Ya applaud, well done.

"Lydia, how can you interrupt Mr. Collins? Sit down for me!" Mrs. Bennet yelled loudly, and promised that she would not interrupt Mr. Collins again, asking Collins to continue.

Lydia, who is used to doing her own thing, how could she be afraid of a scolding from Mrs. Bennet, who loves her the most on weekdays, and said, "I want to visit my aunt in Meryton." This was a pleasure Mrs. Bennet didn't know what to say about the matter, but she was afraid that Collins would be angry. After all, the property of the Bennet family would belong to Collins in the future.

Mr. Bennet immediately invited Collins to accompany the cousins, but Collins refused, and had to follow Mr. Bennet into the study.You must know that Mr. Bennet's study room is a forbidden area in the Bennet family. No one else can enter it without Elizabeth.

In such a sacred place, what Mr. Bennet thought Collins was interesting at first turned into noise. Mr. Bennet tried his best to persuade: "Cousin Collins, you must know that you haven't been to Meryton, and you can go back for a long time." Learn more, go with your cousins, Mr. Kofeng
