In the eyes of Aunt Catherine, aunt and nephew always listen to themselves, how can they listen to others?If this precedent is set, will he refuse to listen to her asking Darcy to marry her Ann in the future?The more the old lady thought about it, the more frightened she became. First, she wrote an urgent letter to Darcy to express her dissatisfaction with him for spending money blindly. Finally, she rushed over in person, trying to stop the deal.

"Oh, Fitzwilliam," Aunt Catherine felt that her nephew's aesthetics were unbelievable: "You grew up in Pemberley, and you can see such a rural place?"

"There is something simple and lovely here." There is also a simple and lovely girl, Darcy added silently in his heart. Thinking of Aunt Catherine in front of him, he immediately pulled back his flying thoughts and began to recall Bingley very painfully. What had been said, about how lovely the country place was, I remember the looks of satisfaction on the faces of the neighbors at the Meryton ball when he made such a compliment.

Aunt Catherine couldn't believe it, they were very fastidious at heart, and she didn't see anything admirable in the country, and it didn't make sense that Darcy could see anything good in the lackluster.

The old lady didn't know the truth about herself.

When she was about to come to Netherfield and deliberately asked Collins about his hometown, Collins tried his best to come up with a series of compliments, and finally went back to how to praise Rosings Manor in various ways. The concept is that no matter how beautiful the countryside is, it is not as beautiful as Rosings Manor.But he was used to flattery, and Aunt Catherine didn't take his words seriously, she just wanted him to be honest and obedient, and she would tolerate being stupid or something.

She told Collins it was time to find a wife, and took the opportunity to come to Netherfield herself.

At this moment, the saliva was dry, just to dissuade Darcy from spending money to buy unnecessary real estate. The ancestors of the Bingley family started a business, and this house was in line with their status.But not Darcy, not even a corner of Pemberley or Rosings.

Darcy listened to his aunt's nagging silently, as if he was seriously considering her opinion, and finally expressed helplessly that the contract had been signed.

Aunt Catherine was speechless all of a sudden, she still understands the law, a contract cannot be broken once it is signed.

In her heart she cursed the Bingleys for their lack of appreciation.

After all, as the only elder, Darcy couldn't bear it, so he patiently persuaded her to understand the benefits of Netherfield Garden: "The scenery here is beautiful, the air is fresh, and the neighbors are very kind and friendly. It is not very far from London or Pemberley. If you want to , you can take Cousin Anne to relax, let her make friends with a few girls of the same age, and often go for walks or sketch outdoors, which is also very good for the body."

This made Aunt Catherine's heart a little moved. If Darcy really wanted to rest in this country place and entrusted Anne here, wouldn't Anne and Darcy be alone together?It is her long-cherished wish to kiss and get closer, but it is a pity that Darcy has been pretending not to understand her explicit hints. Anne and Darcy are not much different in age, and it will not be delayed in a few years.

Darcy knew what she was thinking at a glance, and quickly dismissed her aunt's grand ambitions: "I also plan to bring Georgiana. When I'm not at home, she can only stay with the tutor and paint and play the piano all day long. , you should also relax."

Georgiana has always only listened to her brother, and Aunt Catherine thought of such a little girl who had always treated Anne as her own sister in her association with Anne, and had no other thoughts at all.Her attitude also mirrors Darcy's. Aunt Catherine is a little discouraged and unable to force Darcy bluntly.The child's parents were not around, and he raised his younger sister alone. He was a very thoughtful person.What's more, let her go against Darcy's wish and force Darcy to do what he doesn't want, Aunt Catherine is really hard-hearted.

She herself is getting old, and if the matter between Anne and Darcy fails in the end, Anne will always rely on this relative in the future, and cannot tear herself apart.So it had to be resigned for the present, for Aunt Catherine was not at all convinced of Darcy's theory that a country house was worth investing in, and would increase in value in a few years.

If Elizabeth heard these words, she might have to refute. If she was born 200 years later, the value of the property would not only increase, but also increase exponentially, and it would be too late to count the money!

Not to mention 200 years, Aunt Catherine has no chance of living another 20 years, so naturally she won't understand.

She said with a stern face: "You are right, let Georgiana and Anne be companions." She commented without concealing her disgust: "That Miss Elizabeth Bennet has cleverness written on her face, She doesn't know how to be polite at all, she doesn't have any connotation and upbringing. As for her elder sister, she just lies in other people's home to recuperate with peace of mind, and is not afraid of obstructing the eyes of the master. It seems that the tutoring in the country is really bad, so don't let them approach Anne or Georgiana, Miss Bingley has a reluctance to hide her words, and although you have bought this garden, don't stay long, lest the Bennet country girls always fall in love with you. "

She glanced at Darcy meaningfully.

I have to say, old lady, you are telling the truth again!

Darcy changed his sitting position uncomfortably, thinking that although he had developed some inappropriate feelings, he still had no determination to make the Bennet family and Aunt Catherine relatives, although he was quite curious about the two old ladies The victory and defeat of the fight.

Miss Elizabeth Bennet would have been a perfect match if she hadn't had such a ridiculous family.

Aunt Catherine is an old man who has been through things. She caught the momentary expression on Darcy's face. But familiar.She missed her family's dead ghost who died young, and made her a widow for so many years, and she suddenly exploded in anger!

She was sure that her aunt and nephew had been seduced by some shameless country girl.

The suspicion of the Bennet sisters is quite high. The older one is sick and can't hide her beauty, the second one is very clever and lovable, and the three younger ones have never been seen before, so they are not far behind. .

How did Aunt Catherine know that Mrs. Bennet would not be able to use her brain when she was alive, and her five daughters were worse than one, just like a printer running out of ink.

She thought of the good things Collins was going to do when she returned to Longbourn, and she was going to sound the alarm to her excellent aunt and nephew, letting him know how untimely a marriage with the wrong family is. By selling a daughter to win over the fool Collins, he will not be kicked out after the death of the head of the family.How could such a family be worthy of his aunt and nephew? !

Whether it's the aunt and nephew Darcy or the Bennet sisters, they are still young to fight with themselves!

"You can buy Netherfield if you buy it," Aunt Catherine put on a magnanimous tone. Darcy knew that she must have a back trick, but how could she know that this back trick is so powerful, Aunt Catherine suddenly started to talk about Collins: "You You know, I have just appointed a new rector, Mr Collins, who unfortunately was also born in Longbourn."

Darcy gave an "um", indicating that he was listening. Although he had never met Collins, he knew that his aunt would not say meaningless words.

"What's more unfortunate is that he is a relative of the Bennet family." Aunt Catherine was quite malicious: "Since he took office, he has expressed the idea that a good wife can help him concentrate on parish affairs. This time he accompanied me to the countryside with the purpose of properly resolving lifelong affairs."

Darcy said sarcastically: "Mrs. Bennet will definitely be willing to help this relative connect. After all, the head of a diocese still lives quite well."

Maybe it was because he showed his displeasure towards the hostess, Aunt Catherine was a little relieved, marriage is not a matter of two people, who wants to deal with a mother-in-law who looks down on him: "It is certain to lead, but the one who leads must be Her own daughter, Mr. Collins, is the heir to the property of the Bennet family, as long as one daughter is married to Collins, the future life of their female relatives will be guaranteed."

Darcy obviously didn't expect this to happen, he was taken aback for a moment, saying that restricting inheritance rights is not new, but he didn't expect that this was exactly the case in the Bennet family.Because he didn't want to show any clues in front of Aunt Catherine, he coughed and pretended to cover up, but he knew that with Mrs. Bennet's virtue, maybe five daughters would be lined up for Collins to choose from. He couldn't bear Elizabeth at all. Miss Bennet has come to be so judged.

His heart ached.

Fortunately, his cover-up deceived his aunt, and the other party didn't catch the trick, so he had to drag Darcy and talk about it for a while before letting the aunt and nephew go.

As soon as Darcy stepped out of the room, he wanted to find Elizabeth, but he didn't know what to say to her.He said that he couldn't restrain his feelings for her, but her relatives were too unbearable. The Bennet family was completely unworthy of Pemberley's family status, so he couldn't propose to her, but he had to persuade her not to accept that. Collins' proposal?

It was impossible for Darcy to say such words.

When he finally plucked up the courage to begin by greeting the whole family, the servant told him that Miss Elizabeth Bennet had already left.

He wanted to play pool for a while, but met Caroline, who couldn't keep her mouth shut for a moment. Caroline seemed to have glimpsed the truth, and deliberately teased Darcy: "I can't see that Miss Elizabeth Bennet is so Darcy, Mrs. de Bourgh has more insight than I imagined, and I am quite surprised that Miss Bennet can reply like this."

She held on to Elizabeth's lack of education and refused to let go.

Darcy ignored her at all, he concentrated on aiming on the table, and scored a hole in one.
