beauty and money

Mary stood up from the mother and daughter. She curtseyed and said very generously, "I am Mary Bennet, Ma'am."

Mrs. De Bourgh raised the one-sided mirror with her right hand and looked at Mary. The scrutiny from top to bottom was really uncomfortable, and she said unnaturally: "Oh, so you are the famous Mary. Just like the rumors, you are better than I imagined, at least, huh..." Mrs. de Bower's tone was disdainful and offensive, as if Mary had some kind of feud with her, which made Mary feel very bad.

But Madame de Bourgh was in a good mood, seeing Mary so ugly and thin, as if at last she had found Elizabeth's fault, and she was sorry for having such a disagreeable sister.Mrs. de Bower was naturally disgusted with girls who were prettier than her own daughters, and they were inferior in status and wealth, but those gentlemen were deceived by beauty and married a low-level woman, which caused a lot of poor relatives and friends. Trouble, and as for those girls who are uglier than Anna, she despises and ridicules even more, she is colorless and humble and poor, her existence is a complete joke.

Mary didn't know what was going on with Mrs. de Bourgh's strange pleasure. The lady smiled kindly, but the sarcasm in her words just now could only be inaudible to a fool.But Mrs. Bennet interjected excitedly: "Oh, ma'am, Mary is very learned, firm and devout, don't you want to hear her read you moral books? I can't recite it." Mrs. Bennet has always been able to make people think that she is very stupid, and her expression of accepting praise makes Mary feel ashamed.

Mrs. De Bourgh showed a bigger smile. In fact, her ears are not very good, but Mrs. Bennet's voice and tone are too excited, so she can hear clearly. She once again pretended to feel sorry for Elizabeth, If they were not there, she could not help laughing, and she did laugh, and she smiled and said to Mary: "Well, read it to me." This blunt tone and imperative Mary's tone made Mary very angry, but she couldn't refuse, because Mrs. de Bourgh's status was much higher than those of them.

So Mary lifted her skirt and walked towards Mrs. de Bourgh, but as soon as she took a step, Mrs. de Bourgh said: "Stay where you are, I really can't stand the smell of strangers." He frowned as if he smelled something, covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief, and pretended to cough.This almost sexual humiliation made Mary's face flush. Even Mrs. Bennet felt Mrs. De Bourgh's dislike this time, and Lydia happily walked around a large number of people with a look of excitement on her face. I have never seen such a rich and powerful lady, if her Wickham can come, then he will definitely be able to win the lady's favor.

But what Lydia didn't know was that although the news about Wickham's abduction of Georgiana was blocked, there were some rumors among relatives. Mrs. De Bauer had long blacklisted speculators like Wickham , she likes people who have the same status and wealth as her, not those who seek flattery. Collins can be in her eyes because he will inherit the land and property of the Bennet family, although De Bauer The lady despised the riches of the family, but compared with the really poor priests, Collins was tolerable.

Of course, since Elizabeth cheated his nephew away, as long as she thinks that the wealth and land belonging to the Bennet family will be inherited by Collins, she has a kind of vengeance. Add blockage.

That's why she embarrassed Mary face to face, but Mary endured it. She recited the morality book aloud, and showed an attitude of indifference. Mrs. de Bower was not very interested in religion. It's just that she is pious and praised by others. Listening to those obscure moral classics is simply a headache for her, so after seeing that Mary doesn't seem to show any indignation, she stops Mary.

"Oh, that's fine, that's fine, I'm too sleepy, follow Charlotte to the lounge to have a rest, the dance tonight will last for a long time." After she finished speaking, she looked sleepy and impatient.

Seeing that the three of them were about to be driven away, Lydia felt unwilling. She didn't say a word, and she didn't introduce her husband.So she walked up to Mary and said, "Ma'am, your ball was so grand and beautiful, and the whole Rosings Manor also opened my eyes. Oh, it's so beautiful here, but it's a pity that my husband can't attend. He is a lady." Very sweet young man, you will love him."

Mrs. de Bower was reminded by Lydia that the husband of the youngest Bennet daughter was that loathsome Wickham, the Playboy Hollow Man. "Oh, isn't your husband Wickham? The son of the old butler at Pemberley? He's a real delight, though I'm afraid I wouldn't invite such a delight to my balls, I might." I don't want any accidents for Anna, okay, stop nagging, I'm too tired." After speaking, Mrs. de Bourgh turned her face away, how contemptuous she was.

Lydia was stunned by the words, and she was a little at a loss, but fortunately she was not smart enough to hear the meaning of the words from Mrs. De Bourgh's mouth.But Mary noticed something was wrong. This sentence sounded too ambiguous. She never understood the reason for the reconciliation between Li Qi and her brother-in-law. In her impression, her sister had always favored Wickham. Plus, she had a lot of complaints about Mr. Darcy, but as Wickham turned to abduct the little girl, Lizzie completely abandoned Wickham, and even a little disgusted. It is true that what he did was really shameful.

She had never felt that there was any hidden secret in it before, but today she heard Mrs. de Bower's words, she seemed to know something, and she had no affection for Wickham. Anna was the lady's guess.So, how many people still know about this matter, will it affect the marriage of Miss Georgiana and Mr. Cavendish?

Mary left Mrs. De Bourgh's reception room with Mrs. Bennet and Lydia full of doubts. They were taken by Charlotte to a spacious and elegant lounge to rest there. Charlotte was still afraid of them Bored, ready to play cards.

"Mrs. Bennet, please don't mind. Mrs. De Bourgh has not been very cheerful because of Miss Anna's health. She is always sad. Please forgive her temper. She is a very kind and generous lady." Charlotte After marriage, due to the relationship between having children, Di's figure is a bit blessed. Her face is round and plump, and her temperament looks very different. The gentle and kind temperament makes people feel comfortable.

When Charlotte left and was busy with other things, Lydia complained: "Oh, my God, Mrs. de Bourgh is definitely the most annoying person, if anyone can endure by her side for a minute, then She must be a ****."

"Lydia, don't swear." Mrs. Bennet yelled, and she was also very annoyed at Mrs. de Bourgh's attitude.

But because of the host-guest rule, they couldn't complain about their hosts, and Lydia felt resentful, and she didn't think well of anyone who belittled her husband-in-law.Mrs. de Bourgh must still be bitter about Elizabeth.

Mary doesn't care much about Mrs. De Bourgh's contempt. She doesn't care about this kind of person at all. Apart from status and wealth, this lady never cares about anything else. If she is Miss Anna, she should have What a pity, at least Mrs. Bennet took her family very seriously.

Soon other guests will arrive one after another, and the evening will come, the whole Rosings becomes extremely lively, and some ladies and ladies are also arranged in the lounge where the Bennet mother and daughter are. Although Rosings has many rooms, but Most of them are locked, and there are not many entertainment rooms and lounges that can be used.Male and female guests have to be separated, and families with conflicts cannot be together. At this time, Charlotte showed her talent, arranging everything in an orderly manner, busy but not chaotic, which made Mary feel very admired. She herself is very bad at communication , I am simply bored with this aspect of things, so I have admiration for those who are good at dancing. It is really amazing that such an annoying thing can bite the bullet and do it.

However, things were not as bad as Mary thought. Charlotte was very happy to be able to use her talents. Elizabeth, other people can't see her talent, but now, the whole Rosings is in her own arrangement, and the compliments of all the guests are the best thing for her.

As the carriages drove into the Rosings Manor, those richly dressed men and women appeared one after another. The Bennet mother and daughter who stood at the window watching the visitors were whispering to each other with several other ladies and ladies.Since Mrs. Bennet had Bingley and Darcy as sons-in-law, she often saw distinguished people visiting. Mrs. Long, who used to always compete secretly, no longer showed off in front of her. Instead, Mrs. Bennet was in Merry There is a hint of a leader in the social circle of the noble lady in Tun.

It’s just that none of the Ben family members care about rights. According to Mrs. Bennet, all her efforts are to make her children happy, and the happiness of her children is her greatest satisfaction and wish. Other things are not practical and very annoying.But for those wives who want to be strong, Mrs. Bennet can be attacked because she can't give birth to an heir and a third daughter who is about to become an old maid.

"Oh! God, whose carriage is that? It's really wide." "Mary, come and see, is this carriage the one that visited Longbourn?" Mrs. Bennet suddenly called up Mary.

Mary put down the little book in her hand and walked to the window. She immediately recognized that this luxurious carriage belonged to Mrs. Graris.
