Caroline's originally calm face cracked at this moment, and she looked at the maid standing aside and finally gave a silent order: "You find someone to bring my luggage over and tidy up this room. I'm used to living in this room and don't want to live in other rooms."

"Oh, yes, Mrs. Darcy." Hearing Caroline's order, the maid instinctively replied. Caroline's cold and stern appearance just now scared her enough.The maid immediately walked towards the door, didn't realize until she reached the door, turned around and asked cautiously: "Mrs. Darcy, what about Mr. Darcy's luggage, shall we bring it here too?"

"No, he's used to living in that room."

"Oh", the maid nodded blankly, really not knowing what these gentlemen and ladies were thinking.

After the maid left, Caroline glanced at the entire empty room, only to feel a group of crows flying over her head.

Darcy walked into the room at this time, frowned slightly, and felt that the whole room seemed different. With a glance, there were women's toiletries and exquisite jewelry boxes on the dressing table, and a complete set of beds on the bed. By, double.

Darcy's breath was stagnant, and he walked quickly to the closet, opened the closet door, and saw clearly defined clothes, on the left were white and black shirts and suits in two monotonous colors, and on the right were sets of bright and delicate clothes. skirt.

Darcy's calm heart was completely confused.

Close the cupboard door and walk slowly to the window, Darcy paced back and forth, the slow pace sounded like drums, each step beat his heart, every sound made his heart beat faster, Even the palms are slightly sweaty.Clenching his palms tightly, Darcy tried hard to suppress the throbbing in his heart, but it was completely useless. The more nervous heart was reflected on his face, but his expression became more and more expressionless.

They are husband and wife, aren't they, should have shared the same room long ago, this time...

"Dong dong dong...".

Darcy stopped and looked towards the door with a blank expression. The maid who had just brought someone over to pack her luggage trembled in her heart. After reacting, she stepped forward to salute and said hello: "Mr. Darcy", even her voice was trembling .

The maid's heart is broken, why did this happen to her? Whether it is Mrs. Darcy just now or Mr. Darcy now, they are so scary.Fortunately, her owners are the Bentleys.

"What's the matter?" Darcy asked in a deep voice with a cold face.

The maid immediately had the urge to turn around and leave. Under the pressure of Darcy's eyes, she was trembling and timid, but thinking of Caroline's instructions and the few people who came behind her, the maid He could only bite the bullet and say, "Mr. Darcy is like this. Just now Mrs. Darcy asked me to come and take her luggage away."

"What did you say?" Darcy's face was as indifferent as ice for an instant, and he stared at the maid and asked word by word.

The maid was about to cry, she lowered her head, not daring to look at Darcy's expression, and looked at the carpet on the floor.This seems to have some effect, the maid simply lowered her head and said all the words: "It's like this, Mr. Darcy, at first we didn't know that Mrs. Darcy used to live in the original room, so considering the view from the window The reason is that the room was arranged in your original room, Mr. Darcy, but just now Darcy asked me to move the luggage back to her original room."

Who would have thought that these aristocrats would be so particular about being guests in other people's homes, and insisted on having a room alone. As a girl who grew up in this country, the maid really didn't understand their thoughts.

Darcy clenched his fists tightly, his arms trembling, this time he was not nervous, but angry, and his anger swept over like sea waves, filling his entire chest.Darcy's face was as black as ink, so gloomy that he could drip water.

The burning heart instantly cooled down.It was like being drenched from head to toe with a bucket of ice water.

Thoroughly

"Mr. Darcy, can we pack our luggage?" After a long time without a reply, the maid had to step forward to ask.

Darcy took a deep breath, lowered his dark and deep eyes, and finally said two words: "Move", and finally turned to look at the scenery outside the window.

At this point Darcy felt like a joke.

Longborn

As Elizabeth's carriage arrived, the place immediately became lively. Mr. Bennett, Mrs. Bennett, and two unmarried sisters all came out to welcome them.

"Oh, my dear daughter, you are finally back," Mrs. Bennet shouted happily after seeing Elizabeth, and then gave Elizabeth a big hug, and then her sisters stepped forward to hug her one by one Reminiscing about the past.

At last Elizabeth was able to go up to her father.

"My dear Lizzie, welcome home", Mr. Bennet smiled lovingly, hugged and kissed his daughter on the cheek.

Under the warm welcome of the family, Elizabeth's gloomy mood finally cleared up, showing a bright smile and saying hello to her family one by one.

"Oh! Lizzie, where are Jane and Charles? Are they in Netherfield Garden now?" Mrs. Bennet squeezed away everyone and asked eagerly, occupying the best seat beside Elizabeth.

"Yes, mother," Elizabeth said with a helpless glance at her mother, "Jane and Charles both asked me to say hello to you, and they will come to visit Longbourn tomorrow."

"Really? That's really great." Mrs. Bennet exclaimed excitedly: "I must immediately tell Mrs. Jims that she must prepare some delicious dishes tomorrow to entertain my daughter and son-in-law. "As she said that, she ran away in a hurry. For her, tomorrow is a big day.

Without the help of Mrs. Bennet, Mary and Catherine could not bypass their father and keep Elizabeth. In the end, they could only watch Mr. Bennet take Elizabeth to the study.

Catherine stomped her feet unwillingly, and ran quickly to where her mother had left.

"Oh, mother, you must help me, Lizzie has been taken away by papa, and I want to ask her about London."

Mrs. Bennet, who was explaining things to Mrs. Jims, turned around impatiently and said, "Honey, don't bother me now, Jane and Charles are coming tomorrow, you can ask them then, or It's the same if you ask again when Lizzie comes out later."

Without her mother's support, Catherine could only walk back to the living room in distress, and sat on the sofa sullenly.Mary on the opposite side pushed the glasses on the bridge of her nose and gave her a sideways glance, then lowered her head and continued to read the book.

In the study, Elizabeth was let out of the study after explaining her trip to London to her father. Her mother and sister greeted her warmly, and then she was surrounded by the sofa to answer various questions.

"Mrs. Bennet, this is a letter just arrived." The maid came in and interrupted several chattering topics, and handed the letter to Mrs. Bennet.

"Oh, the letter to Longbourne? Let me see it." Mrs. Bennet took the letter and tore open the envelope to read it.

"Mom, what are you writing, and who sent it?" Catherine moved to her mother curiously.

Mrs. Bennet put away the letter, her face was flushed, and her expression was uncontrollable ecstasy. After two seconds of silence, she suddenly laughed loudly: "It's a letter from Lydia, written by my precious Lydia. Come," at last, delighted to see her daughters announce:

"She'll be back in Longborn the day after tomorrow, God! I'm so happy that all my daughters are coming back this time",

"Really? Mom, Lydia is coming back too?"

"Oh! Yes, yes, Kitty, Lydia will be here the day after tomorrow." After confirming the news, the two mothers and daughters hugged, screamed and danced happily. Even Mary and Elizabeth couldn't help but I laughed happily.

The five sisters haven't been together for a long time.

After being happy for a while, Catherine immediately remembered what she had glimpsed in her heart just now, ran to sit down next to Elizabeth, stared at her closely and asked curiously and eagerly: "Lizzie, I almost forgot, tell me quickly Tell me about your time in London, especially those high-society balls you attended, were they particularly beautiful, luxurious, and a lot of wine and food? And, those ladies and ladies, what kind of clothes did they wear? Sophisticated, ornate, or trendy? How is it different from what we have here? What is their lace made of?"

Kitty asked a long series of questions in one breath, and even her mother looked over curiously, obviously being curious by these questions, even though she didn't think there was anything better in London than their country , but also curious about the various clothing collocations that are currently popular in London.

After glancing coldly at her impatient sister and mother, Mary straightened her body and looked at Elizabeth with serious eyes, like a deep old pedant analyzing a classic.

Elizabeth frowned and said, "Kitty, you ask me so many questions at once, how can I answer them?"

"Answer them one by one, then," interposed Mrs. Bennet.

"That's right, Lizzie, first of all, tell me about your feelings about participating in the high-class dance in London. Did it make you feel very happy and happy? How does it compare with our country?" Catherine said expectantly.

"Oh, Kitty, I daresay those London balls are no match for our country ones, and there's no joy in that," cried Mrs. Bennet displeased.

"Mom, you haven't been to it, how do you know, and can you ask Lizzie to speak?"

"Mom is right. There is really nothing to be happy about in high society dances. I am not happy at all. I am not as happy as our country dances." Elizabeth said coldly.

As soon as Elizabeth finished speaking, Catherine shouted impatiently: "Oh! Come on, Lizzie, I don't believe your words, you don't want to tell me."

The relationship between Elizabeth and Jane has always been the best, and now she is being perfunctory because she is afraid that she will go to London to embarrass Jane in the future. Catherine thought angrily, she knew that in the hearts of her father and Elizabeth, she and Lydia still had a relationship. Moms are brainless, stupid, and just embarrassing for them.

Seeing Catherine's angry look, Elizabeth said: "All I said is the truth, and you can't help it if you don't believe me." After a pause, Elizabeth said: "I really didn't feel happy at those balls at all, I don't like Those nobles, they are either arrogant, unreasonable, or their polite attitude is only on the surface. In their eyes, the first thing to measure is whether you have value to them. If not, they will not interact with you. Then I will try my best to flatter you and please you, snobbery, flattery and hypocrisy." When it comes to this, Elizabeth's eyes show disgust, as is the case with Sister Bingley.

After finishing speaking, Elizabeth frowned and looked at Catherine: "So for a country girl like you, they won't talk to you at all."

Mrs. Bennet also understood Elizabeth's character, and immediately yelled: "Lizzie, I hope you can restrain your character in the future, and don't embarrass Jane and Charles outside."

"Mom, why do you think I will embarrass Jane and others outside? I have done nothing wrong. What you said is completely slander!"

Seeing Elizabeth's angry look, Mrs. Bennet said seriously: "Oh, no, that's the best, Lizzie, I believe no one in this world understands your character better than me. You are stubborn, what's wrong with you?" Whatever you say, you don’t consider other people’s feelings at all, just like when you rejected Collins’ marriage proposal, you didn’t understand my hard work as a mother at all, but you can do this at home. I hope you don’t talk nonsense outside in the future. It’s better to restrain yourself, otherwise you will embarrass Charles and others sooner or later.”

Elizabeth sat on the sofa with a cold face. It was obvious that they were the ones who embarrassed the family, but they didn't realize it at all, and pushed the responsibility on her.

Mrs. Bennet didn't care about Elizabeth's face. She took a look at her daughter Catherine and said, "But what Lizzie said is right. The people in London's upper class are no better than us country people. We are both hospitable and friendly. Lively and cheerful, everyone who comes to Meriton Town as a guest is full of praise and joy. So those arrogant and unreasonable people Lizzie mentioned, I can imagine, just like Sister Bingley and Mr. Darcy It's the same."

As soon as Darcy was mentioned, Mrs. Bennet immediately remembered Darcy's annoying attitude at the beginning, and suddenly became furious, and shouted loudly: "Oh, I can completely imagine your situation, Lizzie, if those people agree with you I really can't stand this insolent Mr. Darcy and Miss Bingley. To be honest, I have already guessed that the two of them will end up as husband and wife. , The two of them are a perfect match."

Mrs. Bennet's words touched Elizabeth's back, and she stood up and interrupted angrily: "Enough, Mom, Mr. Darcy is not such a person at all, and...", and he and Ka Lorraine was not made for each other at all, and Caroline was just a scumbag and totally unsuitable for Mr. Darcy.

Elizabeth couldn't say the rest, she could only stare at her mother with red eyes, and finally left angrily and went back to the room.

Facing Elizabeth's sudden anger, the three people present jumped, and after reacting, Mrs. Bennet immediately yelled angrily: "Oh, my God, my weak nerves, how could I have such a rebellious daughter? How dare you lose your temper at your own mother, it's really outrageous." This was the first time Mrs. Bennet was treated like this by Elizabeth.

Seeing the chattering Mrs. Bennett, Catherine and Mary immediately stood up and left quickly, for fear that their mother would point the finger at them later.
