Crossing into Elizabeth Bennet

What kind of contrast would it be if you put your hand in his palm.

Thinking, his hand slowly raised, and then slowly placed on Darcy's outstretched palm.

Compared with his, his hands are very slender and small, and his hands can completely contain hers.

Lizzy suddenly felt that as long as she was led by him, she could walk down with peace of mind, no matter where she was.

Darcy's hand held Lizzy's tenderly and firmly. She looked up to meet his gaze and smiled.

With his strength, he easily crossed the puddle.

Stand still, and gently withdraw your hand.

Then continue to hold his arm, don't start, worried that he will see the disappointment in her eyes.

So he also missed the disappointment that flashed in Darcy's eyes.

As usual, Darcy sent Lizzy to the outskirts of Bennet Manor.Watching her climb the steps of the villa, he didn't turn to leave until he saw her enter the house with his own eyes.

One day, at the dinner table, Lizzy lowered her head and ate her share of potatoes.

At this moment a servant came in and handed Mr. Bennet a letter.

"I think you'll be delighted to hear that."

Holding the letter in his left hand and the wine in his right, Mr. Bennet said in a very flat tone.

"What is it, my lord?"

Mrs. Bennet was the first to respond, with her usual irresistible curiosity.

"William Lucas treats guests, this is the invitation letter he sent us."

"Really? Dad, there's another dance?"

Lydia almost jumped up for joy, confirming aloud to her father.

"Yes, Lydia, you can run around the dance floor like a madman again."

"Daddy, can I go into town today and buy a new ribbon?"

"Jenny, can I wear that green dress of yours?"

"Oh, prom, nasty prom, I'd rather read a few more books."

"You don't have to embarrass yourself, Manli, you can stay at home by yourself."

"I think Sir Lucas needs me to play for the ball."

"Hehe, come on, you don't need to say that, just say it if you want, it's so frank."

"Mama, do you think there will be officers, at this ball?"

"If Lucas is stylish enough and well-informed enough, I think she will be."

"Great, officer, officer, I must have my first dance with a handsome officer."

The table was extremely noisy, but Lizzy didn't join in.

She drank the last sip of milk in the glass.

But the heart is far from being as peaceful as it appears on the outside.She was also looking forward to the ball very much, and she believed that Darcy would be invited, but this time she didn't want to hide on the balcony anymore, she wanted to stand and dance with him on the dance floor.

But would Darcy, who hated dancing so much, invite her?

After breakfast, Lizzy was dragged by Lydia and the others to the town for shopping.Instead of taking a carriage, they chose to walk.

Lizzy stepped on the dry grass, looking at the sheep in the distance.

"Lizzy, dear, what are you thinking?"

Ji Ying suddenly put her arms around Lizzy's arm, and approached her in a mysterious way.

"I was wondering how Mr. Bingley would be fascinated by you on the day of the ball."

Lizzy blinked her eyes and walked over in the same mysterious way.

"Lizzy!"

Jiying was a little ashamed, this second sister was always so elusive.When she thought she was able to tease her to her heart's content, she would often tease her back.

"I'm serious, do you have any worries recently, or do you have someone you like?"

Jiying tugged at Lizzy's earlobe, telling her to be serious.

"Why do you ask that, sister."

Lizzy was a little surprised. She didn't expect that Jane would be able to notice even though she tried her best to hide it.

She originally thought that the eldest sister who had a good relationship with her was a natural dumb, and would not be so sensitive to her surroundings.

"intuition."

Ji Ying raised her index finger and winked at Lizzy.In fact, she just saw more real smiles on Lizzy's face than before, and she seemed to be sympathetic to happiness.

She guessed that there should be nothing else that could make Lizzy smile so much, except having a lover.

"Sister, since when have you acted on your intuition?"

Lizzy laughed.

"Don't be sloppy. Seriously, Lizzy, tell me if you have someone in mind."

"I--"

Lizzy was about to speak.But they heard the sound of horseshoes coming from behind them.

The five sisters turned their heads at the same time and looked at the person coming.

Two gentlemen on tall horses quickly stopped in front of them.Well-dressed, it was Mr. Bingley and Mr. Darcy.

Not surprisingly, at the moment Mr. Bingley appeared on the stage, Jane's mind was not on Lizzy, so Lizzy could secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

She really did not know how to explain her feelings for Mr. Darcy.And the culprit who caused her so much hesitation was getting off his horse and walking in front of her.

"Good morning, Elizabeth."

"Good morning, Darcy."

After a simple greeting, Darcy led the horse and followed Lizzy's footsteps on foot on this uneven country road.

Naturally, Jane and Bingley walked in the front, and the other sisters laughed and laughed in the middle, while Darcy and Lizzy slowly fell behind.

"Meeting you here - is also going to the town, right?"

"Yes."

"For the invitation from Lucas's house?"

"Yes, Mr. Darcy, I can't help being excited about this rare ball."

"It seems that you don't plan to hide in the balcony this time."

"Mr. Darcy."

"So, may I have the honor of inviting you to my first dance?"

Lizzy's footsteps stopped, and she looked up at Darcy beside her in surprise.

His face was full of smiles, his eyes were clear, and he could even clearly see her shadow reflected in them.

"My pleasure."

Seemingly lost in his beautiful eyes, Lizzy bent her knees and agreed to his invitation instinctively.As soon as the words fell, she realized what she had promised.

It was indeed a great honor to dance the first dance at the ball with Darcy, a man who was known not to like to dance, and she could even imagine the astonishment of people gaping.

Perhaps, she needs to start building her own psychological defense now, and after the dance, the overwhelming gossip will immediately overwhelm her.

However, Lizzy didn't care about these, and she really began to look forward to the arrival of the ball.And now that she is about to arrive in the small town, she also sincerely hopes to be able to choose the ribbon she desires.

In the downtown area of ​​the town, Bingley and Darcy rode away as if they had other things to do.After Lizzy and Darcy said goodbye, she devoted herself to the selection of decorations.

"I think Darcy would like the creamy ribbon."

Ji Ying's voice suddenly broke into Lizzy's brain.

Lizzy turned her head in shock, and found Jiying standing close to her, with a wicked smile on her face.

"I see, Darcy smiled at you."

Jiying had a mischievous expression of "I see you still want to hide it, but I have already discovered it".

"Jiying, it's not what you think."

Lizzy explained in a panic.

"Haha, it turns out that there is really something tricky. Lizzy, this is not your usual you. It is rare that there are things that embarrass you."

"I'm leaving you alone, Jane."

"I thought you wouldn't like Mr. Darcy. After all, he not only offended you, but was also such an arrogant person. Who would have thought that it was this man who could capture the heart of my dearest Lizzy."

"Jeyoung, please don't say any more,"

Lizzy interrupted Jiying suddenly, she lowered her head uneasy

"I am different from you, and Darcy is different from Mr. Bingley. Perhaps this is just an episode in my life."

"Lizzy, don't think so,"

Jiying hugged her sister pitifully

"I think Mr. Darcy also has a good impression of you, otherwise—"

"That doesn't mean anything, Jane"

Lizzy looked seriously into Jane's eyes

"That means nothing."

At this moment, Jiying realized that Lizzy was really moved, so she stopped joking about it, but looked at her sister worriedly.

"I'm all right, Jane, I'm all right."

Lizzy lowered her head and continued to pick up the ribbon, and she held the milky white one firmly in her hand.

"Lizzy, I hope you will be happy."

"Jiying, my sister, I sincerely hope you are equally happy."

However, in this involuntary world, no one can predict in advance where our future will eventually lead.Even though I know you'll marry the one you love, even though I know I'm in love with Darcy.

Angry

Sir Lucas was very modest, so his guests included all the decent gentlemen in the area.

It was precisely because of this that Lizzy became even more nervous.

She is not a girl who cares about the eyes of people around her, but she also knows that sometimes public opinion can be terrifying.

Besides, Lizzy is not ugly, it can be said that she is beautiful and beautiful in a different style from Ji Ying, and it is impossible to say that there is no suitor.

Therefore, when the ball was about to begin and Darcy came to greet Lizzy, many young gentlemen showed disappointment.

Of course, Lizzy did not see it, and Darcy would not pay attention to them.

And his unusual behavior immediately attracted the attention of everyone on the spot.

No matter how unpopular he is, he is still a rich and powerful person that they cannot offend.

"Good evening, Eliza."

Darcy looked at Lizzy's dress with imperceptible admiration on his face.

"Good evening, Darcy."

Lizzy looked at Darcy, who was also well-dressed, with a brilliant smile.

"Hopefully it will be a good night."

"
