[Pride and Prejudice] Mary's Pride and Prejudice

Regardless of what Colonel Edwards wrote in his letter, the obvious fact is that Colonel Edwards is now going to atone for his past mistakes, which many men in the upper class have committed, even more than he. He has committed more and more serious crimes, but because of his stubbornness and rebellion, this time he was in bad luck. These days, Colonel Edwards is looking around, hoping to find the whereabouts of Miss Sissy and the child, and Lydia because of her sweetheart Running to find other women and illegitimate children and heartbroken.

Mary couldn't bear her appearance that everyone in the world was sorry for me, so she ran to Lydia's bedroom and said to her before going to bed at night: "Don't you know what kind of person Colonel Edwards is? You always praise him He is brave, strong, and responsible, so now is the time for him to take responsibility, and you should support him, why are you angry and sad here instead? You can't expect him to love you alone, it is impossible for a person like him to do that You know about his former mistress and illegitimate child. If you make up your mind to love him, it is impossible to keep your ears from hearing about them for the rest of your life, so you are the one who is sad now. You still have two You are only 16 months old, your dowry will increase, your people will become more and more beautiful, correspondingly, there will be more and more suitors, what do you think about Colonel Edwards, there are plenty of young and handsome handsome guys. Last time at Mrs. Nash's ball, there was a good-looking pastor, and at Mrs. Fry's banquet, there seemed to be an intern who liked to ask you to talk to Kitty."

What greeted her was the pillow on Lydia's bed, and she was hit on the head by the pillow with the shout of "Get out--". Mary fled from the room in a panic, and Jane stood outside the corridor. Looking at her disapprovingly, he reprimanded helplessly and gently: "Don't sprinkle salt on her wounds at this time, we are leaving anyway, why bother to make her angry."

"It wasn't me who made her angry." Mary shrugged.

At this time, Mrs. Bennet was passing by holding a candlestick. She heard what the two daughters were talking about, so she stopped immediately and said to Mary angrily: "Come on, please, don't provoke poor Lydia. Tell me, Colonel Edwards is really responsible for this matter. Originally, if a colonel with an annual income of five or six thousand pounds wants to like my daughter, I am sure I will not stop him in the slightest, but now he has left Lydia to find her. Other women, this hurts my daughter too much, I hope I will never see him again, and he is not welcome in my home, because his behavior is really ridiculous and irresponsible."

Jane is willing to intercede for Colonel Edwards: "I think his behavior has to be considered responsible. Isn't it his duty to find Miss Sissy and the child?"

"That's someone else's wife and children. Why would he bother with that? I dare say that no one would appreciate him doing that." Mrs. Bennet said angrily.

"The father's blood is flowing on the child, which can't be cut. I don't think innocent children should be treated so ruthlessly, mother. Aren't you the kindest person? Be considerate of a father's heart. If we If my sister is hurt, you will definitely be desperate."

"Oh, of course, you know me, Jane," sighed Mrs. Bennet. "If anyone in the world loves children the most, it must be me. I love not only my own children, but other people's children too." , so back then I absolutely could not tolerate Alice being abused by her father in public..."

At this time, there was a sound of "哗啦——" in the room, and the pot seemed to be thrown on the door, and Lydia's angry voice came from the door: "Don't stand in front of my door and talk loudly, you all go away -"

Mrs. Bennet said distressedly: "Poor child, let's leave quickly, don't let her continue to be angry."

Although Lydia gave birth twice, her character never made it difficult for herself. Mary encouraged Mrs. Bennet to do a big shopping before going home. With the end of the social season, many seasonal things in the store began to reduce prices Well, these things haven't been popular in the countryside yet, so it's a good time for big purchases by rural rich people like the Bennet family.Even though Lydia has some girlish feelings and wants to resent rubbing, but she can't stand the temptation of a woman's nature, so she joins the purchasing army while gnashing her teeth and full of enthusiasm.

On the first day he left home, Mr. Alfred visited again. Since the two broke up last time, he wrote two letters to Mary. Mary didn't deliberately make things difficult for him, and she replied seriously. .When he came to the door this time, Mr. Alfred was holding a bouquet of beautiful white roses in his hand. The bowl-sized flowers were dotted together, against the bright green leaves, which reminded people of a word, delicate and charming.

Mary took the flowers happily. The petals of this kind of rose are very white, as if carved from jade.Mrs. Bennet next to her asked the flower giver very distressed: "Oh, I'm not familiar with flower language, should I check the flower language book?"

"Ah, I remember there is one in Liqi's bedroom." Jane remembered and was going to get it.

Alfred smiled and stopped her: "I just saw that the roses in the garden bloomed very beautifully, so I wanted to use them to decorate your house. There is no special meaning."

"Oh—" Mrs. Bennet was very disappointed.It doesn't matter to Mary, as long as the flowers are beautiful, even if she receives chrysanthemums, she will not dislike them.

Alfred was a little embarrassed. He looked at Mary for a few seconds, then suddenly turned to Mrs. Bennet and said, "I beg your permission. I want to talk to Miss Mary alone."

"Oh, of course." Mrs. Bennet's favorite thing is to let her daughters get along with such outstanding young people. She happily led the daughters out of the room and winked at Mary for a while. Even if Mary couldn't see If you understand what she means, you can probably guess it. Zuo Zuo just seized the opportunity to get him to propose marriage quickly or something like that.

The room suddenly fell silent, and Mr. Alfred began to look at her affectionately. Mary's face was flushed, and she suddenly turned her eyes away and walked to the window.

Mr. Alfred quickly walked to her side and stood with her. After a moment of silence, Mr. Alfred began to recall the acquaintance of the two of them. His language skills are very good. An eloquent lawyer, through his mouth, every little thing between two people becomes interesting, and every scene becomes romantic and warm.

After rambling on for more than ten minutes, Alfred finally brainwashed Mary, thinking that the meeting between the two of them was God's will, that their acquaintance was a choice of fate, and their union was destined by God.

At the end, he said affectionately to Mary: "Miss Mary, please believe in my sincerity. I love you and love you from the bottom of my heart. I am willing to give you the greatest respect and sincerity. Are you willing to..."

When he said those words earlier, Mary had a premonition, and sure enough he paused here, and then said: "I think my feelings have been shown so clearly, so please uphold sincere friendship and be sure to treat me I am blunt, would you like to have someone accompany you on the road of life below you, he will support each other, understand each other, respect each other, and love you forever. That person is me! Any words you say are fine He dominates my happiness, so I ask you to carefully consider... Would you like to marry me?"

Mary said quickly, "Please give me time to think about it."

Alfred looked at her in surprise, and asked hesitantly: "I don't think... this doesn't mean to refuse, right, dear Mary?"

Mary stammered and said, "I... I didn't reject you, Alfred, and I didn't want my lover to propose to me again and again out of vanity..."

Alfred's eyes gradually filled with a gentle smile, but Mary's mind became more and more confused, and she began to speak incoherently: "...I'm just not ready yet, I'm used to Mary; Bennet's life took ten years. A few years, if I suddenly become Mary; Edwards... I don't want to refuse your marriage proposal, if there is anyone in this world who can give me a happy marriage, then that person must be you... But I still have to do it Be mentally prepared, you know, the world is like this, as a gentleman's daughter, I can enjoy human rights, but once I become a gentleman's wife, I will be deprived of many rights, Miss Edwards complained about this, in fact I also I have a lot of complaints about this... I know you will never be a wife abuser, but if I choose to marry you, I will need to rely on your love and mercy for the rest of my life..." Speaking of this, Mary didn't know Why do tears fall down when my nose is sour.

"I'm a rational person, I have to let my emotions convince my reason, convince me to believe in love, rely on love..."

Before she finished speaking, she suddenly burst into tears. Alfred hugged her pitifully, and then the two began an extremely chaotic exchange. Thinking of this afterwards, both Mary and Alfred I forgot what I said at that time, anyway, it was nothing more than how two fools swore to the sky and said some nasty words that would last forever.

After Mary calmed down a little, she had been curled up in Alfred's arms for a long time, she was lazy and didn't want to move, but when she thought of her performance just now, Mary was so ashamed that she blushed, shamed and angry, and she sat up in his arms all at once. , changed a lot of expressions, and finally still didn't know how to face the suitor just now.

On the contrary, Mr. Alfred has always been calm and calm. He seems to have forgotten the gaffe of the two of them just now. He just found something else to chat with Mary. Finally, when he left, he asked her: "I don't think you are Will it make me wait too long?"

Mary blushed and said in a hoarse voice: "Just give me one day. After one day, no, two days, forget it, just one day. If you come to propose to me at this time tomorrow, I will do it well." get ready."

Mr. Alfred was surprised again. He took a deep look at Mary and said, "Okay, I will definitely be here at this time tomorrow."
