Jane smiled encouragingly at Bingley, but said completely irrelevant words: "Oh, Mr. The lady is so kind and kind, but I don't think I'm so ill that I need to go to London for treatment. It's not too late to make a decision when the doctor comes to see if I'm better."

She refused!Bingley was taken aback.

No!It's not a complete rejection, but there is still some room for it.

Bingley smiled wryly, and when he spoke again, there was no emotion in his eyes: "Then I won't bother you, Miss Bennet, please rest at ease."

He left decisively.

It might have been easier for Bingley if Jane had refused politely, but she left something in her words, which just confirmed that she might be the kind of woman he and Darcy could not bear to discuss.Seeing such a beautiful and gentle Jane, Bingley only felt heartache.

He still greeted Elizabeth in a gracious manner before going downstairs. Elizabeth knew from his expression that it was not a success, but she didn't look as shocked as she imagined.

She was wondering.

If the marriage proposal was successful, the prospective son-in-law would have a good visit to his mother-in-law, but Bingley didn't say anything, and Mrs. Bennet knew something was wrong.

After closing the door, Mrs. Bennet began to complain about her eldest daughter: "Why didn't you agree? Jane, are you a fool? Oh, my nerves, why do you have to torture my nerves?"

Jane actually didn't want to talk to this old woman at all, so she could only pretend to be shy and said: "Mom, ladies should be more reserved. With Mr. Bingley's sincerity, there will be another marriage proposal soon. I will promise him again at that time." , it not only shows that I am very cautious, but also tests his sincerity, isn't it the best of both worlds?"

Mrs. Bennet just remembered that there was such a routine, and then she was happy, and excitedly guessed aloud that since there was the first time, there would be a second time soon.The son-in-law-to-be is so sincere, it would be a pleasure to show off to the neighbors!

Jane rolled her eyes at Lydia triumphantly, implying that she was already a big step ahead.

Only Elizabeth is embarrassed: and next time?You dream!

Bingley's character is gentle and amiable, but that doesn't mean he's really stupid!

Darcy didn't even need to ask, just look at Bingley's expression.

But he himself was very curious about Miss Bennet's attitude, or rather about Miss Bennet's attitude towards Bingley or him: "What did she say?"

Bingley almost didn't want to think about that scene: "She said that it would not be too late to make a decision after the doctor's diagnosis. Now is not the time to go to London with me."

"Oh." Darcy was very satisfied with Bingley's speaking skills, and he responded meaningfully. At the same time, Miss Bennet's answer was also very clever, but not so clever that the interested person would not be suspicious.

Perhaps they all misunderstood Miss Bennet, but that was of no importance.

"The neighbors are looking forward to the ball at Netherfield, Darcy," Bingley said with a wry smile, "you must stop putting on a straight face when the time comes, and let's all have fun together."

When you're happy, it's all over.

Darcy glanced at him: "So you can go back to London without any problems?"

"No grudges? No, no, Darcy," Bingley said with a melancholy look on his face, which made him look lovable, but unfortunately no one really sympathized with his intentions: "I understand that the ladies want to find a good husband. Desire, as bachelors, why don’t we want to find a satisfactory partner? But Darcy, apart from matching status and property, a happy marriage is just a luxury after all, right?”

Darcy didn't answer, he was just an ordinary man groping in love.

Bingley's words can also be reversed. If the status and property do not match, even if the two are happy, such a marriage is just a luxury, right?

He laughed at himself, and, if nothing else, how could he have been in love with Miss Elizabeth Bennet?

However, on her own terms, once she asks for marriage, she will only agree with ecstasy. Darcy hopes that she can see more of the qualities that belong to Fitzwilliam Darcy himself. Her flexible and bright eyes, as long as If you are willing to look at yourself, you will be able to find it.

Darcy suddenly became uncertain about the idea of ​​leaving Netherfield. Bingley hadn't even decided on an exact date for his return to London, and Darcy had already begun to feel reluctant.

This has never been done before.

Not long after, Dr. Jones arrived at Netherfield, studied the bloody phlegm coughed up by Jane with a piece of glasses for a long time, and then looked very solemn: "I think this is a definite sign that the condition has turned into pneumonia."

Jane's face turned pale. She clearly felt that she was much more relaxed. Was it just self-righteous optimism?Once this kind of disease occurs, all previous efforts will be wasted.

She looked eagerly at the doctor.

"If an effective treatment is not found as soon as possible, pneumonia will turn into tuberculosis." Dr. Jones is very worried: "But Miss Jane's body cannot withstand continuous bloodletting."

After the leeches sucked blood, Jane had confirmed that Dr. Jones, a country doctor, was a quack doctor. However, even people without medical background could see the seriousness of the blood in the sputum. She finally realized that things were going off the rails, and grabbed Mrs. Bennet's Hand flustered: "Mom, I'm going to London to see a doctor."

The countryside is not the same as London. Even though it is the [-]th century, famous doctors in London can treat pneumonia. Jane subconsciously ignores that even in modern countries, there are not a few people who die of pneumonia every year.

Mrs. Bennet hesitated and looked expectantly at Bingley.

Standing far away by the door, Bingley replied: "My sister has already written to London to ask for a doctor. If Miss Bennet's condition is not too serious to walk around, then we will accompany her to London." As if to avoid suspicion, he emphasized coldly: "The Bingley family has several apartments in London. We will arrange treatment for Miss Bennet nearby, and we will make her live as comfortably as at home."

The "prospective son-in-law" in Mrs. Bennet's eyes was a little awkwardly indifferent at this moment, even the nerdy Mary could see it.

She looked at Jane suspiciously, Lydia and Kitty had already started whispering.

But Jane didn't take it seriously, the marriage proposal was shelved tactfully, which man could save face?Bingley was just making a little awkwardness, and he had to beg himself afterwards. Even if he was seriously ill now, he still wanted to take himself to London, which meant never leaving him.

Her composure reassured Mrs. Bennet a little too.

As long as the person concerned knows the reason, Mrs. Bennet almost killed her eldest daughter with an assist.

Elizabeth lamented that these people regarded Bingley as a fool, a gentleman who always made everyone around him happy, but now he can be so indifferent, it shows that the development of the situation is not what Jane and Mrs. Bennet thought.If Jane does not return to her original body for a day, Elizabeth will not want to see Bingley fascinated by her.

"Jane should recuperate at ease now. The doctors in London are said to be highly skilled and will definitely bring us good news." Elizabeth subconsciously wanted to help Bingley end the meeting: "Even if Jane can't make it to Netherfield's dance, as long as she is ill With improvement, there will be no shortage of such opportunities in the future.”

Bingley nodded: "I also hope to continue to see Miss Bennet's beautiful figure on the dance floor."

He took his leave and left, and Lydia clapped her hands and said, "If Jane doesn't attend the ball, I will have a wider range of partners. I can dance with Mr. Bingley and another with Mr. Darcy, oh , maybe I can dance with him twice!"

If it weren't for the damn heavy rain, the protagonist of the ball was obviously herself, Jane lay unwillingly on the bed, her hands were tightly squeezed under the quilt, and there was this damn old woman who encouraged her, Jane completely forgot that it was she who couldn't wait To go to the plot.

Darcy can't even dance with you, Lydia, and he can't bear to ride in a carriage with you.

Elizabeth picked up the half-embroidered tea towel that Kitty brought, and asked as she threaded the needle: "Didn't you go to Meryton that night, Lydia? There were tens of hundreds of officers stationed there. I thought you The dance partner line is full."

Is this pinched?

Jane was on the verge of jumping up with joy, while watching Elizabeth suspiciously.

Mrs. Bennet remembered this: "Oh, dear Lydia, Bingley is rich, but what good things can be found in the country, and the candles at the Meryton Ball can be lit for four hours, and that day The candles in Faye Gardens can be lit for six hours, and you can dance for eight hours unless you go to the Regent's Palace. In this case, there are not many dances at all. You and Mr. Bingley have one dance, and Da If Mr. Xi dances twice, the officers won't be able to share it!"

This old lady treats her daughter like a hundred people beheading her!Jane squinted at Lydia, thinking disdainfully.

Lydia could only "giggle" and giggle, God knows she didn't know any officers, she didn't even remember the name of the person introduced by Uncle Philip, and Kitty didn't care about anything, she obviously used her own light to go to Meryton He hooked up with the officer, but now he doesn't give in.It's hard for her to say that her eyes fell on Darcy, and she didn't pay attention to other people at all. In the end, Darcy didn't come back with her in a carriage.

She faltered, saying that she would try to dance with the officers as much as possible.

Mrs. Bennet was satisfied now, and all her unfulfilled dreams in her youth were invested in Lydia.

Elizabeth quickly hooked a feverfew on the tea towel, then raised her head and said with a smile: "Lydia gave three dances to Bingley and Mr. Darcy, and three dances with the officers. The officers in the team can just jump."

"Yes!" Mrs. Bennet's eyes lit up: "Don't give them a second chance!"

The sisters all laughed, and Jane was also relieved, because Elizabeth's joking appearance that didn't care at all was in line with the fact that she didn't have any thoughts or affections for Darcy at this time in the book.

When she is married to Pemberley, introduce the poor penniless mistress to a well-to-do young man, or a widowed middle-aged rich gentleman.

She is really kind to the heroine, who doesn't step on the heroine a few times in time-traveling girls!
