[Pride and Prejudice] My husband loves me again

Who didn't like a few scumbags when they were young, Elizabeth put down this paragraph long ago.

She also looked surprised: "Cousin Collins, are you an old acquaintance with Mr. Wickham?"

As a charming acquaintance, Collins seems to be proud: "No, Mr. Wickham is really a commendable friend. As an officer who defends his home and country, he is knowledgeable and far-sighted. It is wonderful to know him. How lucky I am!"

Elizabeth didn't expect Collins to discover Wickham's true face, after all, she was also deceived by this beautiful appearance, but Collins's compliments that gave people goosebumps still embarrassed Elizabeth on the street syndrome.

"You are really too flattering," Wickham obviously couldn't stand Collins' omnipotent flattery, but he suggested with a decent face, "Since we are on the same road, why don't I accompany you for a ride."

Elizabeth agreed: "It's an unprecedented peace of mind to be accompanied by a military officer."

Collins talked endlessly with Wickham about their encounter at Rosings Manor. It was a year ago, and Wickham's residence hadn't been changed to Derbyshire, but in Harbin, where Rosings Manor is located. Fordshire.Because his late father, Mr. Wickham old, was highly respected in Pemberley, although he did not accept the teaching post, which made all the old people regret, he still successfully went to Rosings Manor to meet the Duchess by virtue of his father's past reputation.

Old Mr. Darcy regarded him as his son, so Mrs. de Bourgh had always been very polite to him. If he took the way of serving God, it is not clear that Collins' present position would go to Wickham.And he is indeed a young man of eloquence and talent. Even the critical duchess can't always find him wrong. On the contrary, he is often very pleasantly teased by him.Seeing that the benefactor appreciated this young man of his nephew, Collins naturally wanted to curry favor with him. Besides, he was grateful that Mr. Wickham had no ambition to become a pastor, otherwise he would not have much room to compete with him. .

This explains Collins's unusual obsequiousness, Elizabeth thought.

Although Aunt Catherine is an old man with many experiences, she will inevitably be so flattered that she loses her judgment when faced with a consummate liar like Wickham.

Now that Aunt Catherine is in Netherfield, is it possible that Wickham wants to use her protection to enter the house?

Elizabeth was a little depressed, and it was not a bad idea to expose Wickham's true colors, but the only thing he exposed was that he almost lured Georgiana to elope, which was something that could not be brought to the table anyway.Not only for Darcy's sake, but to know how pitiful Georgiana was, Elizabeth was reluctant to part with it.

When passing by Dr. Jones's pharmacy, Elizabeth stopped by, because she would go to Netherfield Gardens to visit Jane every now and then, so she also took on the task of getting the medicine.

The apprentices in the pharmacy were on duty. When they saw Elizabeth coming, they filled the potion well, and the two gentlemen were waiting for her at the door.

Wickham's face was afraid of offending Elizabeth's appearance: "Is anyone in the house sick?"

"It's the eldest daughter of the Bennet family, that is, my cousin Jane," Collins said in a flash: "But she is not at the Bennet family. I just went to visit her the day before yesterday, because she was taken care of by the Bingley family, and her sincere gratitude really made people feel good."

"That's a really kind lady," Wickham agreed. "Since Aunt Catherine is also at the house, I have to find a time to pay a visit."

He even called Mrs. de Bourgh Aunt Catherine. This is really a serious junior. Seeing that he has a good relationship with the old lady, Elizabeth is not happy that he will use this to make trouble, so she pretends to talk about Mr. Darcy in the village. Comments: "The reason is that the Bingley family rented a villa in this place, but this villa came into the eyes of the family and friends. Not long ago, Mr. Darcy bought it with a lot of money. The rich owner is the Duchess. Aunt and nephew, I was invited to stay here for a while. It's just that the neighbors say that Mr. Darcy is cold and not easy to get along with."

Collins nodded: "Mr. Darcy is very grand."

Elizabeth deliberately mentioned this, hoping that Wickham would retreat when he heard that Darcy was also in Netherfield. She remembered that the two met unexpectedly in Meryton before, not only Darcy's face changed drastically, but Wickham also He was apprehensive, so he didn't attend the later dance at all.Darcy must have played a role in his absence, although rumors suggested he was busy wooing a wealthy heiress.

Unexpectedly, not only was Wickham not afraid, but he put on a lonely expression: "Since Mr. Darcy is at the house, it is still inconvenient for me to disturb you."

Collins felt that this was a pity: "Mrs. de Bourgh must want to see you. If she knew that you were in Meryton but avoided seeing you, she would be sad."

"That's not all," Wickham said with a gloomy look on his face. With his appearance, others couldn't stand his wronged appearance. He obviously knew his own advantage: "Mr. Darcy is her aunt and nephew by blood. How can the Duchess speak for me over Mr. Darcy?"

Collins immediately fell silent. Even if he felt wronged for Wickham in his heart, he dared not say anything wrong with Darcy.

Elizabeth said contemptuously: "Mr. Wickham's words are too reasonable. Even if we are siblings, my mother prefers my youngest sister, but as an older sister, what is there to care about?"

Wickham didn't seem to notice it at all, and kept saying that it was the truth Elizabeth said, so he decided not to go to Netherfield to be annoying.

It was a pity that Collins complained repeatedly.

Walking west of Meryton, Wickham parted with both of them.

"Mr. Wickham is such a fine young man, what a coincidence." Collins was heartbroken.

Elizabeth smiled and said, "Who says it's not?"

"With such a good appearance and character, he will inevitably be admired by all the ladies, and his attitude towards marriage may not be so prudent." Collins thought for a while, thinking that everyone is still relatives, and reminded Elizabeth, because in his eyes Wickham's charm was almost universal, and he did know one not-so-secret secret: "Probably because I'm a clergyman myself, the standards are a little stricter."

"So you became a pastor, but Mr. Wickham did not." Elizabeth was surprised that Collins still had such insight, and he could remind herself with words, and immediately felt a lot better about this cousin.

Collins was very happy to hear this, and felt that Miss Elizabeth Bennet was really a wonderful person, and if she was a backup for her fiancée, she would also be a good choice.

He was only smart for a moment, and then continued to be stupid.

Elizabeth didn't know that she was ranked in Collins's heart again, but she managed to push Jane to the first place in the order, and it was not fruitless to make a special trip today.

But the most important achievement is that he met Wickham, a scumbag.

Elizabeth had a relationship with him in the past, and because of her girlish affection, she really fell in love with his impeccable appearance.It’s not that Elizabeth is being sentimental. Wickham may not have been tempted by her, at least he has some good feelings. If he was an heiress with a dowry of more than [-] pounds, Wickham would definitely propose to him. At that time, he might still be happy Agree wildly.

Fortunately, she is the daughter of a squire with little dowry, Elizabeth is glad.

Wickham must have realized that he was not completely ideal, even if he had a good impression, he did not make any gesture of pursuit.Even when fleeing, he did not hesitate to take Lydia as a boring plaything during the journey, which almost brought the entire Bennet family into disaster.Therefore, even the ambiguous affection he had for Elizabeth was the most terrifying in Elizabeth's eyes.

But for some reason, Elizabeth did not see in Wickham's eyes this time that he was deliberately hiding those feelings, but was more determined to win.

She had a bad feeling in her heart.

The next day Collins pulled out his best suit, and a rare dab of perfume, and headed confidently to Netherfield for the work of his life.Mrs. Bennet didn't know about this at all, otherwise she would have pestered Elizabeth to go to Netherfield to stop it.

When Collins appeared in front of Bingley's house and guests, "I propose marriage" was almost blatantly written on his shiny golden forehead.

Although he was a bit reluctant to leave Elizabeth, Darcy stood up and asked Bingley, "Would you like to go out for a ride while it's not raining?"

Bingley was a little gloomy, but he replied immediately: "That's a good proposal, Darcy, let the groom prepare quickly."

The two horses flashed across Jane's sight like arrows off the string, and Jane could clearly see that Bingley's riding skills were superb, and Darcy's back was even more upright, and she was fascinated by it. There was a knock on the door.

Caroline said to her with a malicious face: "Your sister, Miss Elizabeth, and your cousin, Mr. Collins, are here to see you."

It's normal for Elizabeth to come here, what is this dead fat pig doing here?

She was very impatient, but Jane couldn't show it. She was about to invite people to sit down with a smile, when suddenly a maid came up and announced: "The Duchess asked Miss Bingley and the second lady of the Bennet family to come down, saying that she wanted to give advice. Show off your piano skills."

It was a horrible thing to be taught piano by Aunt Catherine, but there was nothing better at this time.

Elizabeth pretended not to see Jane's eyes calling for help, and went downstairs with Caroline in great panic.

And Collins straightened his clothes, and circled around the only sofa chair in the room until Jane broke out in a cold sweat. Finally, he cleared his throat and planned to speak. What he wanted to say would not be stingy with long-winded notices, and the sooner he spoke, the better. Otherwise, someone may come up to disturb.

"Cousin Jane, you must know that I became the head pastor of a place at the beginning of the year, and now I have my own land and house in Hertfordshire, and my income and savings are quite satisfactory." Collins said seriously: "I want to Do a very important thing, please listen to me to explain the detailed reasons. One..."

Before Collins could say the first reason, Jane interrupted him violently: "No! I don't agree to marry you!"

This left Collins a little dumbfounded, thankful he hadn't said anything of substance yet.

His hurt self-esteem made him eager to take revenge. He pretended to be surprised and said, "What are you talking about, Cousin Jane, I don't have any plans to propose marriage."

Jane was hung up and down by Bingley, knowing that she had lost her composure, and everything she said now was wrong, so she just kept her mouth shut.

"Take this as advice from a relative," Collins commented coldly, "It's fine if you misunderstand me, but don't misunderstand others. At least Mr. Bingley didn't stop me from going upstairs! You are still in the same class Make it clear, Mrs. Nut, before she goes around telling people you're going to Netherfield!"

Jane never imagined that one day she would be humiliated by the most despised character in the story, and immediately after Collins left, she burst into tears.
