Pride and Prejudice: The Embarrassing Life of Miss Jane Bennett

"Darcy said he would rush back to Netherfield tomorrow." Bingley said, looking at the letter.

"It's strange that Mr. Darcy came back so soon!" said Miss Bingley in surprise.

"Perhaps there is something attractive here~" Mrs. Hurst looked at her sister meaningfully and said.

Miss Bingley looked at Mrs. Hurst shyly, but did not speak.

Bingley glanced at his sister and opened his mouth, but didn't say anything.

In fact, he wanted to tell Caroline a long time ago that it would be better to give up Darcy as soon as possible.Although this man was a rare generous and kind master to his tenants, workers, and servants, he was definitely not a good object of love.Otherwise, on Darcy's terms, the girls around him should be able to line up from Meryton to London.

But every time he saw Caroline's admiring eyes towards Darcy, Bingley couldn't bear to say it.Or, even if he said Miss Bingley, he didn't intend to give up.Because of Bingley's own friendship with Darcy, Caroline always felt that she had more opportunities.

To be honest, it was really hard for Bentley to imagine who Darcy might fall in love with in the future.

The lady must have good looks, manners, and manners; she is proficient in music, painting, and sewing; she can reach Darcy's level of thought, have her own unique insights, and be mellow and gentle in dealing with things.

But, does such a lady exist?Mr. Bingley thought for a while, and then came to a conclusion that perhaps it was impossible for Darcy to fall in love with anyone in his life.

Poor Darcy.The Embarrassing Life of Miss Bennett in Pride and Prejudice

In the morning, the mist gradually dissipates as the sun rises.Elizabeth, who was walking in the woods, saw the familiar figure riding a black horse beside Bentley. .

"Why didn't Miss Bennet come for a walk today? Did she stay up late to study again?" Mr. Bingley asked when he saw that Elizabeth was alone. .

Mr. Bingley, you really never forget to wear small shoes for Jian Lan...

Elizabeth shook her head, looked up at Mr. Darcy, didn't say anything, but looked very bad, as if some disgusting fly had landed on her body. .

Darcy suddenly wanted to ask Bingley if he had told the two Miss Bennetts that he was coming back. .

As Mr. Bingley was going to Longbourn this time to deliver the official invitations to the ball for a few days, it was decided that after the walk he would follow Elizabeth directly to Longbourne. .

Mr. Bingley, of course, would never admit that it was to spend some time with Elizabeth. .

When Darcy, Bingley, and Elizabeth reached Longbourne, Lydia and Kitty came out facing each other.Elizabeth looked at the two with baskets on their arms, obviously going to cut flowers in the garden.This job is usually done by Jian Lan and Elizabeth.Apparently, these two people came to fight for the living in order to hide. .

"How is it?" Elizabeth asked hastily, with an eager look on her face, forgetting the two gentlemen beside her.Darcy and Mr. Bingley looked very strange. .

"Of course Jane refused!" Lydia said quickly, "Mr. Collins just took a carriage to Meryton, and said he was going to send a letter to Mrs. Catherine, reporting his recent situation and asking for her guidance. !” Saying this, Lydia rolled her eyes unbearably.

"But mother told Mr. Collins that Jane was too shy to refuse the marriage proposal." Kitty said, "And Mr. Collins believed it."The Embarrassing Life of Miss Bennett in Pride and Prejudice

"I didn't expect mom to be so smart this time!" Lydia laughed and said, "Eliza, go in quickly, dad has gone to several farms below, but now only Jane and Mary are facing mom old friend!"

A few words between the sisters made Mr. Darcy instantly understand the situation. .

Mr. Darcy could hardly help laughing when Kitty said 'Mr Collins believed it'.Soon, however, he stopped laughing.

As soon as he walked through the door, and before Hill had time to inform Mrs. Bennet of their visit, he heard a hysterical voice from the living room:

"Jane! You have to pity my fragile nerves! Missed Mr. Collins, where are you going to find such a good marriage partner! You are already 22 years old, do you want to be an old aunt?!".

No voice paid attention to Mrs. Bennet.

"Jane, you have to agree to Mr. Collins' marriage proposal no matter what! You can't do it! I will never allow it! Absolutely not!"

Elizabeth, who was almost fainted, hurriedly asked Hill to open the door to report, while she took the two gentlemen and walked hurriedly, trying to interrupt her mother's yelling.The Embarrassing Life of Miss Bennett in Pride and Prejudice

So, when Hill pushed open the door, Elizabeth and the two gentlemen just walked to the door, and what they saw was this:

Mrs. Bennet put one hand on her waist and touched Jane's forehead with the other, saying this frothyly.Mary sat in an armchair beside her and never left her sister.The protagonist stood in front of Mrs. Bennet, biting his lip, tilting his head, eyelashes flickering, eyes full of water, as if trying to control, but his shoulders were still trembling slightly, looking weak. stubborn.

Elizabeth was almost distressed to go up and hug her poor Jane.

Bingley felt that Miss Bennet looked too weak and needed too much care, and Elizabeth was cuter.

Darcy's heart twitched suddenly, and a sense of powerlessness flooded his whole body instantly.

As for Jian Lan who was watched by everyone, Jian Lan who still did not raise her eyes, still tried her best to maintain this kind of trembling that seemed to be enduring but couldn't help it. When she heard the sound of the door opening, she thought to herself:

Beat the ground, Elizabeth, you are finally back, if you don't come back, your poor eldest sister will soon have Parkinson's disease...

Then, Jian Lan used her weakest posture to slowly lift her sky blue eyes filled with tears after pinching herself for countless times...

Then Jian Lan saw not only Elizabeth, but also Bingley and Darcy behind her...

So Jian Lan made up her mind that the tears she was going to shed in front of Elizabeth were instantly shocked back.

As a result, Elizabeth felt even more distressed. In order not to worry herself, Jane even held back her tears from falling out (fog...)

The sound of the door opening certainly attracted Mrs. Bennett's attention. There was a pause for a second, and then Mrs. Bennett, who had scolded Jian Lan like a teapot a second ago, immediately returned to her usual appearance, and cheerfully (?) greeted Mr. Bingley.

Jian Lan silently looked at Mrs. Bennett, and really felt that she should wave another small handkerchief, and shouted: "Girls~ come out to pick up guests~"

So Jian Lan, a prodigal loser, was forgotten by Mrs. Bennett.After all... Ten Mr. Collinses were not worth one Mr. Bingley in her heart.

Elizabeth winked at Jian Lan, so Jian Lan raised her hand and pretended to wipe her eyes, preparing to leave in silence.Even if Jian Lan didn't want to admit it, she still had to say that Mr. Bingley was definitely a better savior than Elizabeth. Didn't you see that, once he came, Jian Lan didn't have to cry anymore!

At this time, the little girl Mary came over and took Jian Lan's hand, and shook it vigorously, with a look of support and comfort, and then covered Jian Lan to leave the living room.

Miss Bennet was so sad and hopeless that she forgot to salute Bingley and Mr. Darcy.

However, given this special and sensitive time, no one would blame such a beautiful young lady, would they?

So Jane Lanthappy's curtain call with Mary Chick

Jian Lan was happy here, but Mr. Darcy who stayed in the living room was not so happy.Mrs. Bennet, who was chatting with Mr. Bingley, wondered why that annoying Mr. Darcy looked so much uglier than usual?

Mr. Darcy's powerful aura made it very uncomfortable for Mrs. Bennet to exchange greetings with Mr. Bingley.Therefore, when Mr. Darcy expressed his desire to go for a walk alone in the garden, Mrs. Bennet, Elizabeth and even Mr. Bingley readily agreed.

In fact, Darcy's expression was not for anyone to see, until he stood in the somewhat wild wood behind Longbourn, Darcy's face was still very gloomy.

In fact, Darcy himself didn't know what it was like at the moment.

Shaking his head, Darcy walked deeper into the woods

"Jane, listen to your mother, she will not give up the idea of ​​letting you marry Mr. Collins." Mary's slightly worried and angry voice reached Darcy's ears

Darcy faltered. .

Suddenly, those eyes with tears appeared in his mind.

"If you want to marry Mr. Collins so much, let her do it." It was someone's soft voice.But this is not so soft.Moreover, listening to the tone, how can there be a little bit of weakness and bullying in the living room just now? !You let down that good voice, Jian Lan!

"Believe me, Mary, if Mother were twenty years younger, she would be more to our dear cousin's taste than I am."

Mary obviously couldn't hold back her laughter, but she still kept a serious expression and said to Jane: "Jane, this is too outrageous! It's too rude!"

"Why? Don't you believe it? Mother was a beauty when she was young! If she is really 20 years younger, let alone Mr. Collins, it is Mr. Bingley, no, even Mr. Darcy, she may be confident to win." Jian Lan didn't care about Mary's accusation at all, and continued to vent her resentment towards Aunt Ximen.

Not intending to listen to the corner any more, Darcy, who was about to walk back, suddenly felt a little unsteady on his feet.

"Of course, Mr. Darcy's arrogance doesn't please my mother." Jian Lan said with a lot of smiles in her voice, "Speaking of which, my mother appreciates those red uniforms more."

"Like the new Mr. Wycombe in Meryton?" Mary pushed her glasses and said narrowly, "at Aunt Phyllis's place, Lydia was almost jealous of the beautiful Miss Bennet, because she Mr Wycombe has been talking to Miss Bennet."

"Ah, is that so? Should I be shy? My lovely little Mary? For the admiration of the handsome and charming Wycombe?" Jian Lan asked with a smile covering her mouth.

Darcy's heart sank, and he shot sharp eyes in the direction of Jian Lan's voice, although Jian Lan couldn't see it.

"If you'd like..." Mary said.

"Mary..." Jian Lan's voice elongated, and she said, "Let me tell you, if a person like Cousin Collins gets close, at most he will make you two more jokes, but for a person like Mr. Wycombe, Maybe it's time for you to cry."

Hearing Jian Lan's words, Mary and Darcy in the dark raised their eyebrows in surprise.

"How do you say that?" Mary knew that the eldest sister probably had some theory that sounded shocking at first but made sense after careful consideration.

"Mary, you haven't been in contact with Wycombe yet. So I don't know. When you talk to Wycombe, being watched by him, you will feel like you are a treasure on the tip of his heart." Jian Lan The voice is faint.

"Isn't that good?" Mary asked puzzled, "Is it better to make the ladies feel that they are nothing in his eyes like Mr. Darcy?"

"Mr. Darcy's arrogance will be discussed later." After speaking, Jian Lan stood up from under the tree, pretentiously combed her hair, then cleared her throat, and said, "Today Eldest Sister will tell you well."

To be honest, although Mary liked Jane like this very much, she still couldn't help but want to roll her eyes.

"You said that Wycombe is very good like this, so Mary, what if he treats all the ladies like this?" Jian Lan asked, "To all the ladies, Wycombe will act like I treat you like the whole world." How do you feel about the expression of treating the most precious thing?"

Mary seemed to understand Jian Lan's meaning and did not speak. .

"People like Mr. Wycombe, obviously he didn't do anything himself, but the young lady who provoked him was moved. If the lady in the end made a joke because he was infatuated with Wycombe, everyone would just say that the young lady was too disgusting. Reserved, instead of blaming Wycombe, he would praise him for his handsomeness. But in fact, he was the first to give people this terrible illusion." Jian Lan spread her hands and continued: "This kind of person hurts Sex is great, especially for married ladies. So Mary, when she meets such a person in the future, if she is not sure that she can avoid temptation, she should hide as far away as possible.”

Jian Lan's serious expression almost took out a small pointer and tapped on the desk to emphasize it. .

"In comparison, although Mr. Darcy is handsome and rich, he doesn't make ambiguous words and give others undue expectations. On the contrary, he is more virtuous, right?" Mary said by inference.

"It can only be said that the danger is not as great as that of Wycombe." Jian Lan shook her head and said, "How do you know that Mr. Darcy behaved like this to prevent the girls from misunderstood or he just doesn't take anyone seriously?" What? I always think the latter is more likely."

The corner of Darcy's mouth moved involuntarily.

"However, Mr. Darcy did not play with the feelings of the girls."

"Maybe." Jian Lan said dispensable: "We don't know Mr. Darcy's past, so we can't judge. But, Mary, a person like Mr. Darcy who can be called 'unique' in every aspect, Let’s just watch the excitement from a distance.”

"Look at it from afar?"

"Of course!" Jian Lan raised her voice exaggeratedly, and said, "Staying within ten feet of that face that seems to say 'I lent you ten thousand pounds but you didn't write me an IOU' is definitely a kind of Torment. Believe me, my dear Mary, I would rather speak to Mr. Wycombe than Mr. Darcy, who you say is a more virtuous Mr. Darcy, at least he has some viewing value."

Jian Lan is no less mean than Mr. Darcy.If Mr. Bingley heard Jian Lan's words, he would definitely shout for God to forgive her. .

Mary was overjoyed. .

"Of course, seeing Mr. Darcy today, I feel joy from the bottom of my heart. God has not abandoned me at last." Jian Lan said suddenly. .

Mary looked at Jian Lan in surprise. .

"That's because only with Mr. Darcy can I be happy." Jian Lan said as if reciting a poem, her voice was melodious.

Immediately afterwards, I heard Jian Lan say: .

"Mary, how about we persuade Cousin Collins to visit Mr. Darcy at Netherfield tomorrow?"
