[Pride and Prejudice] My husband loves me again

It is by no means a bad impression if you have not had direct contact with the man William Collins.Although he is slightly fat, he is tall. Although his speech is boring, he has a confident expression. He is a well-off pastor. At first glance, he seems to meet Mrs. Bennet's standards for a son-in-law. Even because he wants to take over the family's property, It can be regarded as excellent.

Darcy involuntarily tiptoed by the window.

Aunt Catherine asked behind him: "Is this Collins?"

"It's him." Darcy concluded almost immediately that there was no reason for him to share a carriage with the Bennet mother and daughter except for the sake of his cousin, and he walked away from the window: "Miss Bennet's mother Came with my sister."

Aunt Catherine snorted. She had a good impression of Elizabeth. She hadn't seen Jane much. She had a good impression of this ignorant village woman who didn't hire a tutor for her daughter and sent all five daughters out to socialize. nothing.

Yesterday she received a letter from Collins, saying that she went to visit Bennet's house first, so as to see the personalities and appearances of several cousins.Aunt Catherine knew Collins' family background well. If it could prevent the family members of the Bennet family from being displaced, she also agreed to choose a pastor's wife from several cousins. This is a good deed.The premise is that she must be satisfied with the wife candidate, and the best standard of satisfaction is that the girl must be docile and quiet.

For this one, Elizabeth is not very consistent.

But Aunt Catherine didn't care too much, but any young girl deserves some attention from the old lady to teach her.

Bingley, on the other hand, was quite happy, and went out to greet the guests. Miss Bingley rolled her eyes silently. This brother of hers was devoted to everyone, and completely ignored Mrs. Bennet's rudeness. It's quite easy to talk to, and there is almost no good old man like him in the world.

In fact, Darcy also wanted to go out together, and met Elizabeth earlier. He didn't think there was anything wrong. It was understandable to pay more attention to the person he admired. After all, he had no intention of marrying her back home.But if he and Bingley came out together, it would be too much face for Collins, and it would make that Mrs. Bennet even more ignorant of the heights of heaven and earth.

Besides, his aunt was Collins' benefactor. Darcy thought about it and didn't go out with Bingley, but he moved quietly to the door of the drawing room, pretending to be admiring the paintings on the wall.

If he hadn't turned quickly when Elizabeth entered the door, it would almost have been thought that he was cultivating noble artistic sentiments.

Elizabeth didn't miss this scene. Darcy's eyes fell on her as soon as she entered the door. She didn't want anyone, especially Aunt Catherine, to find out about this eyebrow-eye lawsuit, so she stood on the other side of Collins very naturally, letting him The fat figure blocked Darcy's sight, and Darcy frowned, and Aunt Catherine thought that his fastidious nephew had a bad impression of her newly appointed priest.

She wanted to say something good for Collins. It was really not easy to find a pastor who was doing a good job and was also stupid.

"Collins, come here." The old lady waved her hand in a pleasant manner, which flattered Collins: "On the way to the country, thanks to you for telling us a lot of anecdotes to amuse our mother and daughter, I don't know anything about your next sermon. do not worry."

Can Collins' jokes still entertain people?Elizabeth could only say that the mother and daughter de Bourgh probably laughed too lightly.

Collins took a few steps forward and introduced the Bennet mother and daughter to Aunt Catherine: "Miss Elizabeth Bennet, you have already met. This is Mrs. Bennet, the mistress of this house."

Mrs. Bennet used to have no taboos. In a small place like Longbourne, no one who is higher than her is older than her, and someone who is older than her is not necessarily higher than her. Besides, she was considered beautiful when she was young. Duojin, marrying Mr. Bennet did not suffer much. The only dissatisfaction is that the daughters can't inherit the inheritance and have to marry quickly to be reliable for life. Such a smooth sailing person naturally develops such a character and temper.

The Duchess de Bauer was the first one she had ever seen who was old and noble. She laughed at Sir Lucas countless times for showing off that she had met the emperor in the palace. Now she finally experienced Lucas. Sir Si felt how he felt when he saw the nobleman.

The old lady had a thin and majestic face, and she put on a dignified manner in front of the guests. Mrs. Bennet couldn't remember where she had said, and stammered for the first time: "You... hello, Duchess, This is my daughter Elizabeth, and this is my nephew, Mr. Collins..." She remembered that it was completely unnecessary to introduce Collins, so she smiled awkwardly: "Yes, Mr. Collins, you know him."

What a poor country woman, thought Aunt Catherine.

Darcy looked over unexpectedly. It was the first time he found Mrs. Bennet still unable to speak, and the victory or defeat of his previous curiosity had been decided.

Elizabeth blushed silently.

She didn't know that Darcy was already considering a possibility, since Aunt Catherine could subdue this superb woman, whether he and Miss Elizabeth Bennet would have the possibility of forming a happy marriage, because Mrs. Bennet's rudeness will no longer be a problem.

As if enlightened, he looked at Elizabeth excitedly.

Elizabeth didn't know what kind of whimsy came into his mind, and he felt like she was sitting on pins and needles. Fortunately, after Aunt Catherine asked Mrs. Bennet a few questions, she was no longer interested in this shy woman. There were many people cowering in front of her, and it was rare for Elizabeth to choke.Aunt Catherine thought that it would not be a bad thing for her daughter to have a temper like her father's, and it would be no problem to manage the daily chores of a parish, but she had to teach her more.

She cast her eyes on Collins and Elizabeth. Collins had been flattering this lady for several years, and immediately understood that Aunt Catherine did not dislike this second lady.But at this time there was a young lady upstairs, and Collins was a little bit reconciled that he didn't see anyone.

Darcy also noticed his aunt's thoughts, and impatiently changed his position on the sofa chair.Because Elizabeth lowered her head, he couldn't see the other person's expression and those talking eyes, and he was very anxious, lest she would agree to Collins' marriage proposal when he went out.

"The eldest lady of the family is recuperating in Netherfield Gardens," Collins asked for an excuse to visit: "As a relative of the Bennet family, since I am here, I have to express my condolences."

Mrs. Bennet said sleepily that it was time to visit her daughter, and she just wanted to escape from the Duchess' sharp eyes.

Aunt Catherine was enjoying the pleasure of oppressing this ignorant woman, so she suggested that she also had to go and see Miss Bennet, an amiable and poor person. The lady who paid attention to her must be running errands when the noble lady thought of it, but unfortunately Caroline couldn't show her face.

A group of ladies and gentlemen went upstairs to visit the sick. Jane is more energetic today, and she is putting on her home clothes and basking in the sun on the terrace.

"Oh, baby, are you better?" Mrs. Bennet immediately stepped forward with concern: "Look, so many noble people have come to visit you, you should try to get better soon, and it's good in Niger Appeared at the ball in the Fay Garden."

Nobody expects your daughter to appear, thought Miss Bingley.

Mrs. Bennet always wanted to take the opportunity to satirize Darcy: "Baby Jane, you see that not only the host family has come to see you, but also Mr. Darcy as a guest."

She didn't know why Darcy followed him to get in the way.

Darcy didn't bother to pay attention to her, and stood aside silently by himself.

Elizabeth had no choice but to explain to her mother: "Mom, because Mr. Bingley has a keen eye for Netherfield Gardens, Mr. Darcy must have had a very pleasant time as a friend, so he decided to buy Netherfield Garden not long ago. ’” She told Mrs. Bennet cryptically that the owner of the garden had changed: “That’s why the Duchess is here as a guest.”

Mrs. Bennet was startled, and looked towards the person she was afraid of. Aunt Catherine, a "relative of the master's friend", was looking at her coldly.

She didn't dare to speak anymore, and began to complain in her heart that Darcy had too much money to spend, and muttered: "Why don't the neighbors know the news? I'm afraid it's to save face for the Bingleys, who are the organizers of the ball!" "

Jane wished she could stuff the old woman's mouth with her needlework: "Mr. Darcy is kind!" After speaking, she gave Darcy a soft look, and in order not to be abrupt, she looked at Catherine softly. Aunt: "The duchess also came to visit me, she is really a kind elder."

On the first day of Aunt Catherine's arrival, she was lying in bed and couldn't get up, so she barely made a face-to-face meeting, neither of them knew the truth.Now this is the opportunity to look at each other, which further strengthens Jane's goal. Although Aunt Catherine's nostrils are up to the sky, her demeanor has to be convincing. Look, this is what a classy person should look like!

She was fascinated by it.

Little did she know that Aunt Catherine's gaze stayed on her for a second and then moved away. As a duchess who has accepted countless flattery in her life, she quickly discovered the flattering and envious look in this young girl's eyes. This eldest daughter may not be like a father but a mother, so she lost interest, but if Collins fell in love with her, he would not object. Her yearning for wealth and status is exactly the same as Collins, and she must be a very obedient couple.

Darcy felt uncomfortable because of Jane's eyes just now, and suddenly heard his aunt's next words sound like heavenly sounds: "Mr. Collins, this is the sick cousin you have been thinking about."

Elizabeth almost couldn't hold back her laughter. Lady Catherine was also a wonderful person. It sounded like Collins, the cousin, was worried about his cousin's illness, but what he actually said was that the cousin was worried about his cousin.

Jane's face collapsed immediately, and only then did she notice a stranger in the group, who she thought at first was just a servant of the Duchess.

It wasn't until the old lady opened her mouth that she remembered that this was the fat pig Collins who coveted the property and daughter of the Bennet family. What about Charlotte? Where did his wife Charlotte, the receiver, die? How did the Nat family meet this fat man in Netherfield? !
