Pride and Prejudice: The Embarrassing Life of Miss Jane Bennett

Mr. Darcy's balls hurt.That's right, although he didn't know the words 'egg pain' to describe the feeling, but he really was in pain.For himself, for Mr. Collins, whom he despised.

Logically speaking, as a Christian, seeing the pastor in his aunt's jurisdiction being treated like this, he should seriously stop it and blame the perpetrator.but……

"Ah……"

Mr. Darcy endured it for a long time, and even laughed softly.

He claimed to know a lot about this duplicity Miss Jane Bennett, and probably guessed that she pulled Mr. Collins out to say something, but he didn't expect... Darcy's eyes lingered on Jian Lan didn't go away for a long time.

There was indulgence and tenderness in that gaze that he hadn't realized by himself. . c74d

After the cousin screamed, he fell to the ground and rolled over.The posture everyone can imagine, covering there, yes, it is there, rolling around, rolling around.

Jian Lan stood by the side leisurely, looking at her cousin Collins with a shy smile on her face.After a while, Jian Lan seemed to feel a little hot, so she opened her fan and fanned it gracefully.

After another long time, Cousin Collins was finally able to speak. It seems that Jian Lan's kick was really hard.

"You witch!" cried Mr. Collins, emphatically. .

This is a very serious accusation in this era, and it seems that Mr. Collins is really mad.

But having said that, who wouldn't be mad at this kind of thing?So Jian Lan was very generous and didn't blame her lovely cousin.

"Do you want to set me up and burn me?" Jian Lan put away her fan, tilted her head, and pressed the fan to her cheek, asking innocently and curiously. .

"You evil, shameless witch, I want everyone to know your evil face!" At this moment, Mr. Collins looked like a pious believer about to be martyred, shouting the last words of his life.

Hearing what Mr. Collins said, the innocence and loveliness on Jian Lan's face immediately disappeared, and she changed into an innocent and frightened look. She looked at Mr. Collins pitifully, and said with a choked voice, "Cousin, what are you doing?" What are you talking about? Why can't I understand?"

Mr. Darcy leaned against the tree, his laughing chest couldn't stop shaking.As smart as he is, of course he immediately understood what Jian Lan meant, but poor cousin Collins was fooled, thinking that his cousin was really possessed by an evil spirit just a moment ago.

Seeing her cousin's stupid look, Jian Lan put away her disgusting innocent look, put on the expression of an evil witch again, and said slowly: "Then cousin, go quickly, and tell everyone in Meryton that I have How evil. Then, let's see if I was burned to death as a witch, or you were beaten to death by the boys who love the gentle and gentle Miss Jane Bennett." After speaking, Jian Lan opened the fan to cover Shut up and laugh.

It was just that smile, which seemed so evil to Collins, like a corrupting Lilith.

"Let me think about it, how do you prove your words to others?" Jian Lan tilted her head in thought, and said, "Say I behaved improperly? No, who doesn't know Jane? Miss Bennett is the most educated Good lady! Say I study witchcraft? It's even more impossible. Miss Bennet only embroiders and reads at home every day. You know how much the ladies like my embroidery. Ah! I thought of it!" Jane Lan clapped his hands and said, "Isn't there evidence here! You can show others the harm you have suffered! This is good evidence!"

Cousin Collins almost lost his temper.

"Speaking of which, Cousin Collins, don't you pursue me so persistently because you know too much about the good reputation of Miss Bennett in Meryton? Don't tell me that you really don't know that I don't want to marry you."

Jian Lan put away her joking smile, looked at Collins who was lying on the ground calmly, and asked.

"Aren't I the best choice for you? I am now a pastor with an annual income of [-] pounds, and I will have an annual income of [-] pounds when I inherit your father's inheritance in the future! You are not as lucky as Cousin Elizabeth, who is so rich And the young suitor!"

The crazy Mr. Collins, stimulated by Jian Lan's slightly sarcastic expression, also spoke harshly.

"Cousin~" Jian Lan suddenly made Mr. Collins's scalp tingle with a sweet smile, and then -

"Aw~" There was another scream.

"Cousin, look, what you said made my regretful feet tremble again!" Jian Lan took a few steps back, watched Mr. Collins rolling around on the ground again, and said, "Look, all you can show off But it’s just my father’s inheritance that you are about to inherit. What about your character? Wisdom? Are you too embarrassed to talk about it yourself?” Jian Lan still kept smiling and said, “Don’t talk about an annual income of two thousand pounds Even if you have an annual income of ten thousand pounds, like the Mr. Darcy you admire, I will not be stingy with giving you these two feet."

Jian Lan felt that this was the end of the story, so she bowed her knees and planned to go back to the ballroom.

"With Cousin Jane's personality, I'll see who you can marry."

Cousin Collins forced another sentence through his teeth.

Jian Lan's steps stopped slightly, and she was stunned when she heard Collins' words.After a while, Jian Lan smiled wryly in a low voice, and said, "Perhaps no one here can bear my character..." But the next moment, the wry smile disappeared from Jian Lan's face. Mr. Collins, said: "Even if there is no one, what can I do? I would rather live alone and free for the rest of my life than willingly stay in a golden cage." After saying this, Jian Lan felt that she was a bit too She pretended to be 13, so she put on a beautiful smile and said, "And Cousin Collins, let's not be too pessimistic. Maybe there is someone who admires me so much that even after seeing this scene today, he still feels that I am cute and amiable." what~"

Mr. Darcy, who still had a slight smile on his face, froze instantly when he heard this, and then his expression began to twist abnormally.

"Cousin, do you know? I don't like Helen and Paris very much. Although the war in Troy was not really caused by the ridiculous reason that the two eloped, but the two of them are too ignorant. But when Prince Paris finally After all the accusations, the beautiful Helen was still able to hold his hand and say to him: "Even though everyone regards you as the left, I still regard you as the right." To be honest, even I was very envious at that time Prince Paris."

After finishing speaking, looking at Mr. Collins with a blank expression, Jian Lan's beautiful and delicate face changed instantly, she rolled her eyes in a very unladylike way, and said to herself: "I'm so stupid to say these things to Mr. Collins " As she spoke, Jian Lan stretched her waist and said lazily, "Who can understand my bright sadness? Life is really lonely like snow~!"

After finishing speaking, she straightened the corners of her skirt, and with a solemn expression, Jian Lan lifted the corners of her skirt and walked away gracefully.

"Oh, yes, in the days to come, you can flatter Mr. Darcy or pursue any lady. But remember, don't appear in front of me again, my dear cousin Collins."

London.

"Mr. Duran, this is a letter from the newspaper office." Henry knocked on the door, walked into Nicholas' study, and handed over a letter.

"Newspaper?" Henry put down the quill, rubbed his forehead, took the letter in confusion, and saw the familiar font on the envelope.

To the trainee editor, Mr. Nicholas Duran.

It's that Miss Jane Bennett!Duran raised his eyebrows, with a playful look on his face, and opened the letter.

half an hour.

"Hmph!" Nicholas slammed the thin sheets of paper on the table, which attracted Henry's puzzled eyes.

"Look!" Nicholas threw the letter on Henry.Henry quickly picked it up, and read the letter that made him so angry that he changed his face. No, it should not be said to be read, it should be worshiped.

"It's normal to be grateful, sir." Henry was even more puzzled.

"Grateful? Normal?!" Nicholas took the letter, pointed to the words on it, and said, "Look here, trainee editor, trainee editor. The 【Apprentice Editor】 must be furious!"

Are you not arrogant enough?Henry looked at his husband and said silently in his heart.

"Aha! I remembered, what was the family name of the vampire in that story?" Nicholas didn't know what he thought of, so he stood up suddenly, looked at Henry and asked.

"Edit, sir," Henry replied.

"Edit, Edit! I didn't think of it before, what a Nicholas? Edit (Editor)!" Nicholas laughed back angrily, and Henry panicked when he saw it.

"Okay, it's really wonderful, she did it on purpose. She's such an old aunt who always pays for everything." Your damn story made me sleepless for three days, and now I'm writing a letter to protest!

Do you really think I'm that useless and cynical trainee editor?

Nicholas went back to the table and sat down, spread the letter aside, took out a quill and another piece of paper, and started to write the letter.

Henry looked at Nicholas, wondering if he should remind him that he is writing in red ink now...

Netherfield

When Jian Lan walked into the ballroom, she was almost knocked down by Lydia who was pulling Daniel running wildly.

"Be careful, Miss Bennett." The arm was gently supported, preventing the eldest lady of the Bennett family from falling.

"Thank you so much, uh, Mr. Darcy?" Jian Lan turned her head, then widened her eyes in surprise, and asked involuntarily, "Why are you here?"

This is a dance hall, the center of the dance hall where people come and go, shouldn't you find a corner where there are not many people, have a drink and watch other people's jokes like just now?How did you come here?

Then Jian Lan was surprised to find that Mr. Darcy's expression was a little unnatural. When she looked up, she saw Elizabeth dancing with Mr. Bingley not far away. Jian Lan instantly understood.

So Jian Lan kindly did not show her understanding on her face, but said with a teasing smile: "So Mr. Darcy has also started to enjoy the dance?"

"Miss Bennett, you..."

"Haha, Daniel, how can you be so cute?! Hudson is so stupid!" Lydia's laughter came from not far away, interrupting Mr. Darcy's words.

Ignoring Mr. Darcy's reluctance to speak, Jian Lan looked at Lydia with a headache. Sure enough, Lydia was pulling Daniel to laugh, and Kitty stood with Hudson.

"It's just some militiamen..." Jian Lan frowned slightly and said in a low voice.

It's just the militia, not the official royal army yet.If you see the handsome and perfect Prussian Junker officer, don't you have to throw yourself into his arms?

At this moment, Darcy also looked at Jian Lan's two little sisters, his face was even uglier than Jian Lan's.

At this time, an overwhelming voice rushed into the ears of the two people.

"We are all waiting for Mr. Bingley's marriage proposal now! I think Elizabeth will be able to marry into this beautiful manor next spring at the latest! You see, how much the lovely Mr. Bingley is infatuated with my little Lizzie!" Bennett The wife proudly said to the other wives.

"Licky is really lucky. Although she is not as beautiful as Jane, she is luckier than Jane!" Mrs. Philip echoed with a smile.

"It's very nice to be married to Mr. Collins! I hear Mr. Collins knows a very distinguished lady!" said Mrs. Lucas.

"However, it's really sad that Jian Jian married so far away! In comparison, Li Qi lives much closer!"

I assure you, my dear Mrs. Bennet, that if Elizabeth were to marry Mr. Bingley, she would stay away from you as soon as possible.

Jian Lan directly ignored the words about herself, and silently slandered in her heart.

On the other hand, Darcy looked at Elizabeth and Bingley with his stern gaze, and then at Jian Lan, who was thinking about something. There was an imperceptible struggle in Darcy's eyes.

After closing his eyes and opening them again, Mr. Darcy regained the indifference and superiority he had when he first came to Hertfordshire.He took a deep look at Jian Lan who didn't seem to take herself seriously at all, bent slightly to salute, and then whispered: "Goodbye, I...Miss Bennett."

After finishing speaking, he walked towards Miss Bingley and Mrs. Hurst who were also frowning at Bingley and Elizabeth without looking back.

Jian Lan, who just came back to her senses, looked at Mr. Darcy's unreasonably desperate back, inexplicably.

goodbye?

Is this what you should say at this time?

But in the face of Mr. Darcy, he got used to being inexplicable and inexplicable.Jian Lan wandered around, saw Charlotte standing alone by the dance floor, smiled slyly, and walked towards her. .
