hello mr darcy

Mr. Lucas is the only gentleman here with a title. Although he is not an inheritable title, it is enough to make him the most prestigious gentleman in Longbourne.

Naturally, this ball was held at his residence.The latest residents of Longbourne are invited - the illustrious Mr. Bingley and his companions.

This is also an opportunity for all people to have a close look at this [-]-pound gentleman.

"I hope you will all do well at the ball, especially you, my dear Jane," said Mrs. Bennet, holding the eldest daughter's hand tightly. "Mr. Bingley is said to be an excellent Gentleman."

Jane felt a little embarrassed.

Ever since she was past twenty, Mrs. Bennet has always regarded her marriage as a matter of great urgency.

"Mom, don't say that." Lydia looked at Jane's discomfort and opened her mouth to help her.

Jane shot a grateful smile.

Mrs. Bennet didn't think so at all: "Don't look at it that way, this lovely Mr. Bingley will definitely be deeply infatuated with Jane. She is the most beautiful girl in this town."

"Mom!" Lydia interrupted, frowning.

Mrs. Bennet smiled, rubbed Lydia's hand, and said, "Oh, no. My dear Lydia, you are just young, and when you grow up, you will definitely become a girl more beautiful than Jane of."

Lydia took a few deep breaths, and rolled her eyes in an imperceptible position: "Mom, you know that's not what I meant."

Mrs. Bennet, however, had stopped listening, and her whole being was devoted to the coming ball.

"Every gentleman needs a wife, Jane. This Mr. Bingley needs you!" Mrs. Bennet was still encouraging Jane, "Liz has found her happiness, and here will be yours."

Jane lowered her head and didn't speak.

Fortunately, the residence of Viscount Lucas is not very far away.The conversation, which made Jane extremely uncomfortable, was quickly over.

"This is really a big battle!" Katie exclaimed to the front.

Lydia has participated in many dances, but most of them are in a very quiet place, even if she is waltzing gracefully, her mouth is constantly discussing the latest economic affairs.

Not to mention, a vibrant country dance party like this one.

To be honest, Lydia is still looking forward to such a dance.

"Mary, promise me. Only sing one song." Before entering, Mr. Bennet urged Mary.

Mary frowned: "But, Dad, I've been practicing for a whole week."

Mr. Bennet sighed: "Two songs at most, remember to give other girls a chance to sing."

Although Mary still looked dissatisfied, she didn't dare to refute Mr. Bennet's entrustment, so she nodded extremely aggrieved.

"Mary likes to sing?" Lydia asked Jane in a low voice.

Jane glanced at Mary who had gone away and replied: "Before you were at the ball, you were always next to the officer. You probably didn't notice that Mary usually sang for half the ball."

Lydia looked surprised: "No way!"

Elizabeth still held Mr. Paris's arm, and turned her head to join the discussion: "Yes, don't you feel something or two from her singing every morning?"

As soon as this was said, several people laughed.

Lydia nodded.Every morning at breakfast, Mary would sit by the piano and play for a long time.If Mrs. Bennet didn't stop her, she could even let the unskilled piano sound accompany them throughout the breakfast time.

"I hope she can enjoy herself early today." Lydia whispered.

Jane nodded aside.

When stepping into the ballroom, a very joyful piece of music was being played, and everyone lined up in two rows and danced with each other.Accompanied by brisk dance steps and joyful music, it is very pleasing to the eye.

Lydia was almost fascinated, she admired such a happy scene without blinking.

"It seems that this era is not so bad!" She said to herself in her heart.

Elizabeth had entered the dance-floor with her dear Paris, happily stepping to the music.

"Liz is really happy." Jane said in a low voice, holding her hand.There was a bit of indescribable envy in his eyes.

Lydia smiled and turned her head: "Trust me, your happiness is not far away."

Jane lowered her head with a smile.

"I'm serious." Lydia emphasized. "Although what mother said may not be appropriate, this Mr. Bingley is heard to be a very kind gentleman. He will definitely suit you very well."

"Lydia?" Jane was very surprised.

Lydia nodded: "I'm not saying that you must do something. It's just..."

She stroked the broken hair next to Jane's ear a few times, and put it away gently: "It's just that with your talent and appearance, there will always be a lovely gentleman who is deeply fascinated by you."

Jane nodded with a smile.

As the dance music died down, everyone on the dance floor sat aside one after another.Only a few couples remained inside, waiting for the next dance to begin.

In the dance parties here, it is very rare to dance two dances with the same person in a row.Unless, it is an unmarried couple like Elizabeth and Paris, or a man and woman who have already committed love.

"Excuse me, do I have the honor to spend the next dance with the beautiful lady." A decent-looking man came over and gently invited Jane.

Jane nodded with a smile and looked back at Lydia.

The latter just smiled: "Go, I will rest here for a while."

Lydia blinked secretly: go, Jane!All the boys here are going to have a crush on you!

Jane's face was reddish, she glanced at Lydia reproachfully, and then followed the man who invited the dancer into the dance floor.

"Lydia, this ball is so wonderful." Katie ran over from nowhere, took Lydia's hand, and kept talking excitedly, "It's just that there are no cute officers, otherwise it would be perfect Already!"

Lydia nodded with a smile, and lightly tapped Katie's nose: "You are always fascinated by the officers."

Katie smiled, and looked straight at Paris and Elizabeth on the dance floor: "I really envy Liz, when will I meet such a lovely officer..."

Lydia lowered her head and sighed softly: "Katie, you will always meet a lovely gentleman, but it doesn't matter if he is an officer or not."

The dance went very smoothly, and everyone danced to their heart's content.

Even Lydia, was invited to dance twice.Fortunately, I practiced for a long time in the past few days, and I only became familiar with the new dance in the dance steps, so I didn't lose face.

It is probably due to her hard work in the past few days. Usually, the people who gather around at the ball are younger men, most of whom are the ones that the original body prefers.

This time, even if the people who came to invite were not of social status, they were all decent people.This alone is enough to satisfy Lydia.

The dance was going on happily, but the sound of the music suddenly stopped at some point.

Lydia looked up and saw the five people who were described many times in the book standing at the door.

"I suppose they are the famous Mr. Bingley and his friends?" asked Lydia.

Charlotte, who had met Mr. Bingley before, stood beside her to introduce her.

Mr. Bingley is like his warm and friendly temper, very clear blue eyes are very bright, and the whole person is smiling.It looks like a sunny man.

Darcy standing beside him was in a completely different state.He frowned, as if he was extremely dissatisfied with the dance, or the whole room.The eyes are deep, but with a bit of indescribable coldness.As if, all this vitality that Lydia admired so much was an unpleasant interruption.

Lydia complained secretly in her heart: If she hadn't been familiar with Mr. Darcy's temper, she would have lost all expectations for this impolite man just like Elizabeth in the book.

"This Mr. Darcy seems really proud," said Jane in a low voice.

Charlotte interrupted her: "However, Mr. Darcy, who owns half of Derbyshire, can earn £[-] a year. Such arrogance is understandable."

Lydia raised her eyebrows, and it was justified.

In this era when a few hundred pounds can make a family live a very decent life, an income of [-] pounds is indeed unexpectedly rich.

A few people finally entered the dance floor, and the music gradually started playing again.

"Hello, beautiful lady!" Lydia was still in a daze when a voice slowly sounded from behind.

She turned around immediately: "Hello."

The visitor saluted very gentlemanly: "May I have the next dance with you?"

Lydia blinked and smiled playfully: "Of course. However, if you can stop making a sudden noise like this and startle me, my dance steps will definitely be lighter."

The man smiled: "I'm Richard Bernal, and I will definitely accept your suggestion the next time I invite you to dance."

After speaking, he kissed Lydia's fingertips and left first.

"My God, I've never seen such a gentleman," Lydia whispered to Charlotte.

Charlotte pursed her lips, looking extremely gossipy: "This is Mr. Bingley's friend, that Mr. Bernal."

The author has something to say: Little Theater

Bernal: I heard my part is not bad?

Darcy rubbed his displeasure secretly, and turned away

Bernal (smiling): I heard that my identity is not bad?

Darcy scowled, the pressure dropped even lower

Pudding: It doesn't matter, Mr. Darcy, if everyone supports you, Pudding may give you an early stage!

Bernal: Then everyone, don't forget to support me! ! !I want to add some drama! ! !

Darcy: ...!

Unable to bear it any longer, he threw Bernal into the air with his palm.
