The ball at Netherfield Gardens has been such a joy in the streets and alleys of Meryton these days, that in the past two weeks, whenever acquaintances meet in the street and greet them, the opening line must be: "Have you received an invitation from the Bingleys?"

Since the standard of the dance in a community like Meryton is far different, the invitation must be a matter of joy for some families and sorrow for others, and everyone who is invited is honored.

People who can’t go will proudly come up with a few gossips to share. For example, the Smith Blacksmith’s family will reveal that Miss Bingley asked them for a few brand new candelabra, or the Perk’s family will gossip about Niri Fei Garden had just bought a few carts of beef, mutton, and chicken. At this time, a head stuck in. It was a clerk from Dr. Jones's pharmacy in the town. The tightness of the clothes has reached a whole new level.

Among them, the eldest daughter temporarily lives in Netherfield Gardens, and the Bennet family, whose third daughter has just betrothed to Mrs. de Bourgh's Rosings Manor precinct, is the focus.

This was just as Lydia wanted. She was most afraid that her family would not get enough attention, and no one would see Elizabeth make a fool of herself.

The weather is rainy and the road is slippery. The gentlemen and ladies go to the meeting in a carriage wearing boots, but they cannot enter the door to dance in the boots. The gentlemen and ladies who have just entered the door are arranged by the housekeeper to change into their own indoor dancing shoes in different hall areas and take off their outer robes Baptized by the rain and muddy high-top boots, the room was full of people, and their clothes and temples seemed to have nothing to do with the rain outside.

Elizabeth sat on a soft velvet stool, asked the maid to take away her cowhide boots, took out her dancing shoes from her carry-on bag and put them on, then spread out the exquisite silk fan, and looked around while fanning away the sweltering heat.On her left, Mrs. Bennet was urging Kitty and Lydia to hurry up and get into the hall to occupy the best seats. On her right were a few familiar friends, and Charlotte was there. Among the ladies.Her dress is quite fashionable, and the dark green satin skirt matches her mature temperament very well. The details of the skirt are as luxurious as the one Caroline wore at the Meryton Ball. The latest fashion, if she looks as good-looking as Caroline, it will do well.

Sir Lucas probably paid a good deal of money for Charlotte's dress.

But Charlotte's face is wearing this dress, and you can only see the dress, not her person.

Not to mention that she was terribly thin, like a scarecrow wrapped in beautiful silk.

Elizabeth smiled at her. She seemed to have just remembered that she was set as the hostess' best friend. She came over to say hello a little stiffly, but her eyes quickly glanced at Lydia, who had been paying attention to her. As for the movement, she almost rolled over laughing when she saw Charlotte Lucas dressed up like a peacock.Lydia returned a sarcastic look, put on her dancing shoes, stood up in her goose-yellow skirt, and puffed up her chest towards Charlotte, young capital needless to say.

Lydia Bennet, 15, is a DCUP, but does Charlotte Lucas, 27, have a BCUP?

The tights are really a good thing. The girls are all squeezed out, as if they will break free from the shackles of the skirts and bounce out at any time, but everyone knows if there is any expectation.

Charlotte's face turned blue all of a sudden. She prided herself on her brains, how could she be willing to compare herself to others with big breasts and no brains? With a wink, a group of officers in red uniforms was particularly conspicuous there. Charlotte received this barely a gesture of goodwill, and knew that Wickham might be coming. According to Elizabeth’s affection for Wickham at this time in the book, Darcy Basically, it can be said that there is no drama to sing.It is said that Elizabeth has met Wickham in Meryton more than once. Thanks to the big-mouthed Aunt Philip, everyone knows that there is a charming officer who will appear at the ball. We can chat.

In addition to the confusing love affair between the missing eldest lady and Mr. Bingley, it is said that Mrs. Bennet is expected to marry two daughters in one go.

No matter why Wickham didn't pursue the rich Miss Kim this time but came to the ball, the time-traveling women who aimed at Darcy didn't care at all, as long as Wickham hooked the heroine Elizabeth away, then they will use their own skills Charlotte held back Lydia's contempt for her breasts.

But how could she expect Lydia to accept it as soon as she saw it? Sure enough, the little girl took Elizabeth's hand and teased her: "Charlotte, you are so beautifully dressed, and you have to sit in front of the piano all the time, that's too violent." gone."

Charlotte answered her stiffly: "I am going to dance today."

"Oh..." Lydia stretched her tone: "Then I will count for you."

Not counting Darcy, Charlotte can only perform two dances, but her arrogance makes her unwilling to succumb. With her deliberate attire today, there is no reason why she can't be favored by gentlemen.She was sure that when a gentleman approached her, she would impress her with her knowledge of books and current affairs.Today's King George III of England is becoming increasingly decadent due to mental problems, the regent loves a life of comfort and luxury, Napoleon of France is always threatening the southeastern coast of England, and the British Whig Party will make a comeback after experiencing a short-term trough.

Not to mention that gentlemen will be amazed by a woman's foresight, not to mention that she is confident that none of the traversers can match her own historical skills.

Charlotte held her breath, and did not share Lydia's sense.

Elizabeth is holding Lydia in her left hand, and she is holding Charlotte with her right hand. This old antique is hugging two time-traveling women on the left and right. She has a strong psychological quality. Worry about not having a dance partner?"

These words were passed down the steps to Charlotte, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

Surrounded by a group of young officers, Wickham passed the corridor. He saw Elizabeth in the crowd from a distance, and immediately nodded and smiled at her.

Because of being flanked by Lydia and Charlotte, Elizabeth had no choice but to act to the end, nodding helplessly to Wickham.After such a response, it is not difficult for Elizabeth to guess that since Wickham has no intention of pursuing the heiress now, it is almost certain that he will invite him to dance in a while. After all, thanks to Aunt Philip, more than half of them will Knowing that he and Wickham not only knew each other but also talked and laughed happily in the few two meetings.

It was only ten minutes since the dance started, and many ladies had already come to make side comments on Elizabeth, and some of them even showed envy.

Elizabeth didn't know what Wickham wanted to do, but obviously what he wanted didn't affect his charm indiscriminately.

Elizabeth danced the first dance with Mr. Bingley.

"Mrs. de Bourgh said she had a headache and was unwilling to deal with such a lively scene." Bingley explained, in fact, the Duchess's original words were almost the slightest reluctance to attend this rustic squire's party, which naturally cannot be said. "But she's been telling Miss de Bourgh to come out and do a few dances, if only with me or Darcy."

Elizabeth also thinks that Cousin Anne should take part in more social activities: "Although the dances in London are more expensive, the dances in the country are more brisk and casual. Miss de Bourgh will not have too many worries about her activities. The Duchess The advice was extremely thoughtful."

"That's not it," said Bingley, who only wanted everyone to be happy: "Caroline is lobbying her, but Caroline always speaks too bluntly, Miss Elizabeth, you might as well talk to De Bauer in your spare time." Miss Er said."

At this time Caroline and Darcy are dancing together at a distance of two people.

When Elizabeth looked over, Darcy seemed to have sensed something, and looked towards her.

However, with a rotation of dance steps, Elizabeth and Caroline looked at each other.

Caroline smiled triumphantly at Elizabeth. For Mr. Darcy, who has always had high standards, it was an honor for him to dance one or two pieces of music in the audience, and he was the dance partner.Caroline was almost sure that even if it was the ball at Netherfield and Mr. Darcy was already the real owner of the place, he would not dance two more dances to give the visiting guests more face.

In London, Mr. Darcy was a popular partner, courteous and charming.

The amount of dancing he has done shows whether he likes the local girls.

Thinking of this, Caroline felt that the dance steps were windy as she danced.

If it hadn't been for Darcy saying goodbye to her as soon as the dance music stopped, and walking in the direction of Elizabeth, everything would have been wonderful from beginning to end.

At the same time, Jane, Lydia, and Charlotte present a half-surrounded offensive from all over the ball scene, staring at Darcy.

Jane was forced to stay on a soft silk couch, and for physical reasons, the doctor ordered her not to dance.Well, it doesn't matter, she is sitting or lying down, or talking and laughing, or holding a fan gently. The dress on her body is shining with gold, and the long streamer is winding on the ground. On the headdress is a huge and gorgeous feather. is a striking presence.When the ball started, Caroline and Mrs. Hurst accompanied her downstairs. She saw the amazement in Bingley's eyes, but she didn't wait for his constant concern. Even Darcy turned to her. After watching for a moment, he walked away with a heavy heart.

She felt that she was the weighty concern.

How did Jane know that Jane's appearance looked as elegant and noble as a Greek sculpture to others, and she wore such an oriental gift, which seemed beautiful at first glance, but it was against harmony upon closer inspection.

At this moment, all three of them were watching where Darcy was going.

Elizabeth found that he was coming to her, and Bingley looked at the two with a smile.

The moment Darcy stepped over, a voice behind Elizabeth suddenly made her hair stand on end: "Miss Elizabeth Bennet, may I ask you to dance?"
