Seeing that the two of them had some signs of progress, Wickham still felt super good and talked non-stop, which attracted the praise of Philip and his wife. Kitty stepped forward and took Mrs. Philip's hand, and said coquettishly: "Auntie, come on!" You once said you left two bolts of good material for Lydia and me, why didn’t you mention it today?”

That was what the old lady had promised when Kitty followed Lydia to Meryton to pursue Darcy, when she visited Aunt Philip's.Although officers stationed in various places are very popular and flattered by girls, not many marriages go well.Most of the military officers are young sons who can’t inherit the family business, let’s not talk about chasing rich girls, and their wages are kept at a level where they can’t starve to death. Marrying a soldier has to endure traveling and wandering, so they are just superficial in the marriage market.

When Colonel Forster came to visit last time, he brought several young officers with him. It happened that Mrs. Philip had two young nieces and aunts at home. For that kind of benefit, I just hope they come to Meryton's own house more often.

Lydia's mind was not on this, and she turned a blind eye to the courteous behavior of those young officers, and her mind was on the incident of meeting Darcy by chance.And Kitty felt that the family that could raise a person like Mrs. Bennet was really extraordinary. This Mrs. Philip was almost as good as the pimp mother San.

Now she would take the matter away from Mrs. Philip, otherwise they would just sit and listen to Wickham BB if the time and place were right.

Mrs. Philip's face was not very pleased when Kitty brought it up.She just said it casually at the time, because the two youngest daughters of the Bennet family were not very smart, and she didn't expect Kitty to think about it today, so she wanted to find an excuse to dismiss Kitty, but she was embarrassed in front of everyone. Lied in front of him, so he took Kitty out for a trip, ready to find some material to prevaricate.

Mr. Philip said he would write to Colonel Forster, but I would like to excuse you for a while.

Collins wanted to talk to Elizabeth, but in order to create a chance for Mary, Elizabeth had no choice but to act first and flirt with Wickham: "Mr. Wickham, it's only been a few days since we met in Meryton last time. I didn’t expect to see you again.”

The fish took the bait, Wickham's eyes lit up, and he immediately complimented Elizabeth: "It's really a coincidence, I thought I wouldn't see you until the Netherfield Ball, I didn't expect to meet you so soon. See, but today I can't see how the lace is embellished on the skirt, I still feel a little regretful."

Elizabeth laughed.

In all fairness, if Wickham wants to make people happy, he will definitely make you feel like a spring breeze. It's a pity that his gold and jade are ruined, and his intentions are very sinister.But it's not that Elizabeth boasted. She once clearly felt Wickham's favor for her, but it's a pity that her dowry is limited, and Wickham's desires are hard to fill.Later, he gave himself up to pursue the rich Miss Jin, because his reason overwhelmed the little budding of goodwill.

If she took the initiative, Wickham had no reason to refuse, but he just didn't refuse, and he would never take the initiative to get close.

Selling love and marriage for money, this is Wickham's tragedy.

However, in the end, his marriage to Lydia had nothing to do with love, let alone money. If Darcy hadn't been taken advantage of by him, it would be extremely sad to be short of money and people.

The two stood by the window, and Elizabeth kept paying attention to the movements of Mary and Collins. Wickham noticed her gaze and whispered with a smile: "I received a letter from Mrs. Catherine de Bourgh the day before yesterday. She mentioned that Mr Collins, who met me once at Rosings Park, said that his coming to Longbourn this time may bring good things to come."

"I went to visit this lady. Although she is stern, she is very knowledgeable." So, using these so-called knowledge to teach people everywhere, Elizabeth perfunctory Wickham: "Since you are close to this elder, you must be going to I went to see you."

Wickham smiled: "It is said that the Duchess came here because my nephew, Mr. Darcy, bought property here. If it wasn't the day of the ball, it would not be good for me to bother you."

"Although Mr. Darcy is not as praised by everyone as Mr. Bingley, if he sincerely treats guests, he can think of various ways." Elizabeth thought of the various decorations and collections of Pemberley Manor, which made all the visitors open It doesn't matter whether the owner is there or not: "My sister is living there due to illness and is being taken care of by a good doctor. If you visit sincerely, Mr. Darcy has no reason to ignore it."

Wickham couldn't hear Elizabeth's thoughts on Darcy, so he smiled "hehe", and deliberately brought the topic to that old-fashioned grievance.Elizabeth had heard this story several times, and she had a misunderstanding because of it. Now that she heard it from Wickham, she felt like she couldn't laugh at her former self.

Darcy’s attitude towards his friends can be seen from his treatment of Bingley. Even if his friends complained, he still insisted on his stance of being good for his friends, even if he was questioned by Elizabeth why Jane’s happiness was ruined. He also has a set of firm standards for measuring feelings.

Even if it was arbitrary and rude, Elizabeth had to admit afterwards that Jane kept her feelings too deep.For creatures like men, their judgment is completely based on the orbit of Mars.She asked herself that she had nothing to say to Darcy at the beginning, but the other party thought that she had fallen in love to the point where she would not refuse his marriage proposal; and she was concise and tempted, but because of her reserve, he thought that there was no ripple in her heart.

"Miss Elizabeth, you don't know how arrogant Mr. Darcy is in the world because of his money and power." Wickham laughed at himself: "The dead old Mr. Darcy regarded me as his nephew and promised me a teaching job." Mr. Darcy gave me the post, but Mr. Darcy was unwilling to abide by the last wishes of his ancestors, which made me have to fall into the army. All this is because old Mr. Darcy loved me too much, which caused his displeasure."

Elizabeth exclaimed: "That's no wonder. I remember that the Duchess mentioned you again and again, saying that you had an affair with old Mr. Darcy, and that you were a considerate young man. She thinks highly of you like that." Her nephew, Mr. Darcy, must be upset about it again."

"Isn't it?" Wickham frowned sadly.

"It's true that you didn't go to Netherfield to visit the Duchess," Elizabeth comforted Wickham, "If the Duchess talks about it next time, I'll just say that you are busy with work, but you are really thinking about her elder. She has Miss Anne and Mr. Darcy to accompany her, so she won't be very lonely, if she really cares for you, it won't disturb your progress, right?"

I don't want to see you at Netherfield, I think you're disgusting to see you any more!

Elizabeth nodded sympathetically to Wickham: "I will try my best to dispel the idea that the Duchess wants to see you, otherwise you will be embarrassed by Mr. Darcy!"

"This..." Wickham's face twitched: "Miss Elizabeth, wait..."

"Liz Liz, look," Kitty ran in with a piece of cloth in her hand, "Aunt Philip ripped a piece of cloth for me, I can use it to make a skirt, and Lydia can also make a skirt out of it." shawl."

It's just an ordinary piece of Indian cotton, the kind Mrs. Philips uses to get rid of little girls.

"The texture is soft." Elizabeth took it over and looked at it: "It's just right for a home-made skirt. If you want to wear it out, you need to match it with a lot of lace. If you starch it a few times, it will turn yellow. Kitty, you have a lot of skirts for going out." .”

Mrs. Philip smiled awkwardly.

Elizabeth took advantage of the opportunity to sit down next to Mary, lest Mrs. Philip see the signs of the relationship between Collins and Mary. The two were so absorbed that they didn't even notice what Elizabeth and Wickham said during this period, and the topic jumped to Rosings Manor again. Collins also said that he must show Mary to see this mantelpiece for himself if he has the opportunity.

As for Mary's intoxicated expression, Elizabeth only wanted to say what it was like for a man and a woman to fall in love in front of the mantelpiece, which she could not imagine at all.But Aunt Catherine would be glad to marry Collins if she saw how much Mary admired her mantelpiece.

Next time, would you like to take Mary to meet Aunt Catherine?

Aunt Philip did not leave a few girls for dinner, and the gentlemen also left together. Wickham was rare to accompany him in silence. It was not until the time of parting that he said goodbye to everyone meaningfully: "The next time I see you, it will be Ni Rifei Garden is here," he bowed to the girls gracefully, and even the passing wives couldn't help but look at him a few more times, and he looked at Elizabeth with his lips curled up: "please Elizabeth Ben Miss Nut will be honored then."

Mary looked at Elizabeth and Wickham, and her face was a little red.

As for Elizabeth herself, and Collins and Kitty, they were not in a good mood.

"This scumbag really has capital," Kitty rested her chin and played with the straps of her pajamas with her fingers: "It can be retracted freely, and the charm is infinite. Hehe, if I didn't time travel, I will tell you that Wickham is not a good person, otherwise this person is cheating." The sex is strong. Now I have a little understanding of your psychology in the book. When I saw the real Wickham, if I didn’t know that he is a scumbag, I wouldn’t be able to stand him trying to please you.”

In 20 years of her real life, she has never met such a superb person. This kind of person lives in TV dramas and romance novels.

"Then I would like to thank you for telling me that I am actually a character in this book." Elizabeth glanced sideways at Kitty, and she hadn't decided whether to confess her experience to Kitty: "I'm worried about his attitude, Originally, he was indifferent. From the perspective of practical interests, he and Darcy had the same concerns. Darcy struggled for a while, but he didn't try to get close to me at all. But before he left today, he made it clear that he would attend Netherfield Garden Ball, and he still wants to invite me to dance, I don't believe he would take the initiative, and he probably has no good intentions."

"Maybe it's because of your amazing charm," Kitty said with a smile, "If Wickham really uses all means to pursue you, Mr. Darcy will die in a hurry."

Kitty had made up her mind to watch the show, and since she didn't think the show was too big, Elizabeth had a lot of worries.

With Wickham's unscrupulous means, if he really has an attempt on himself, although he may not succeed, it will take a lot of effort to get rid of it.What's more, Georgiana is still involved now. What if he threatens Darcy with this matter?

Elizabeth didn't want to put herself and Georgiana on the same balance for Darcy to choose, it was too cruel, and even Elizabeth would choose to defend Georgiana.

The core of the problem is why Wickham just showed his desire to pursue Elizabeth this time.

The last time he flirted and ran away, this time he seemed to want to flirt.

Kitty said indifferently: "If he doesn't come up, you are passers-by this time. If he comes up hard, you don't have to be polite, dig a hole for him to jump in, Elizabeth, teach you the truth of our time, Wickham called it' The first to flirt is cheap', don't show mercy to him."

Whatever purpose Wickham might have, Elizabeth would never speak to him, nor allow him to succeed.
