[Pride and Prejudice] My husband loves me again

The sound was like the sound of heaven, and Mr. Darcy's brows stretched out all of a sudden.

He didn't even bother to watch the rare and embarrassing Mrs. Bennet's jokes. When he stood on tiptoe, he turned around gracefully and bowed slightly to Elizabeth: "Miss Elizabeth Bennet, you are really here."

He said it as if he was really pleasantly surprised, thanks to Mrs. Bennet's big mouth, half of the female guests at the ball knew that the second lady of the Bennet family had slipped away, and was about to leave Mr. Darcy alone. There are five daughters in the Bennet family, and there is always one who can top them.

Lydia, who was waiting to pick the fruit, was so red and white that it was frighteningly ugly.

Elizabeth calmly glanced at the little sister. She didn't even dare to look at her. With such a psychological quality, it's no wonder that she resorted to low-level means of damaging people's shoes.

Mrs. Bennet waved her fan in her hand, and justified her behavior with a dry smile: "Young girls are always playful, but Elizabeth is back after all, there is no one who runs away before dancing, Darcy Please don't mind, sir. I am also kind. You must know that among all my daughters, Lydia is the best at dancing. I let her give up the opportunity to dance with the officer to smooth things over for her sister. The sacrifice is really Boss!"

As soon as the conversation changed, it seemed that it was all Elizabeth's fault.

Elizabeth knew that there was no room for excuses on this occasion, and she would arouse others' curiosity if she said a few more words, and her mother was not a person who could make sense, so this matter had to be resolved by her father when she got home.

The most important thing is that she came back in time, which is enough, of course, thanks to the great hero Mr. Darcy.

Mr. Darcy is not used to swallowing his anger, he said with a little sarcasm: "Mrs. Bennet, I promise that I don't have the slightest mind whether you keep your daughter or not, because she is the dance partner I chose."

It wasn't forced on me by a heartless and eccentric mother.

Mrs. Bennet didn't hear Darcy's implication. It was strange for her to hear it. She clapped her hands and thanked: "It's fine if you don't mind! Although I often say that noble gentlemen are always arrogant, Mr. Darcy is also very reasonable occasionally. Yes!"

This is really chicken and duck talking, Lydia can't wait to find a crack in the ground, and Darcy chooses to give up communicating with this lady, because there is no communication at all.

But Elizabeth understood what he meant to defend in what he just said. He was accusing her mother of not fulfilling the most basic duty of searching. Anyway, there were so many daughters. With an annual income of [-] pounds, Mr. Darcy will give the opportunity to dance to his favorite little daughter.

She smiled at him gratefully, and then immediately said: "Oh mother, Mr. Darcy's reasonableness is obvious." Elizabeth tried to lead the topic on the right track, so as to make the atmosphere relaxed and happy: "It's because he knows that we They all love dancing, so they cooperated with Mr. Bingley in preparing this ball. From the beginning to now, the guests and the host have enjoyed themselves for a minute. Even if Mr. Darcy doesn't say anything, we still have to see his intentions."

Darcy couldn't help but think about the meaning of "the guest and the host have a good time", which means that Elizabeth (the guest) and herself (the host) are very happy. She must be very happy to be with herself and talk so much just now.

Mrs. Bennet agreed repeatedly, and Lydia followed suit: "My sister is only good at talking, and you haven't said where you just went!"

She was sure that Elizabeth was stuck somewhere and found a pair of shoes by some kind of shit luck. If so, Elizabeth would never have the face to say it, and Mr. Darcy would doubt whether she hooked up with Wickham after dancing. together.

"I talked to Miss Anne for a while. Mother, you know that Miss Anne takes good care of Jane. I have met her several times. When I talk about happy things, I inevitably lose track of time." She softly retorted: "Pretty words are naturally beautiful People say, I dare not say that I am the most beautiful in the family."

Lydia was praised and hurt, so she had to choose to keep her mouth shut.

"It's pretty enough for me who came to invite me to dance, so Mrs. Bennet, can you allow me to bring Lingmei into the dance floor now?" Of course he wasn't really asking for Mrs. Bennet's opinion, before she could answer, Darcy took Elizabeth's hand and gracefully blended into the dance floor.

Mrs. Bennet had no choice but to nod embarrassingly behind them: "Okay, okay, you go."

Lydia didn't want to see the official partner in a good mood at all, so she found a corner and poured herself several glasses of iced alcoholic drinks.

Even through the gloves, the fiery temperature in Darcy's palm was still transmitted to Elizabeth's palm, and the intimacy seemed scorching.

But he quickly let go, followed the rhythm of other dancers, faced his female partner face to face, both bowed, and then held hands and began to dance.

Soon Elizabeth discovered that Darcy did not know if she made a wrong move on purpose. Not only did her eyes always stay on her face like hot people, causing her to almost dance the wrong steps, but also when the woman raised her skirt and touched the man's back several times During the wrong dance steps, Mr. Darcy pulled his hand by mistake, so she could only complete the movement with one hand holding the skirt.

But Mr. Darcy found that Miss Elizabeth and himself were in perfect harmony, and the harmony was so wonderful that even if he deliberately held the other's hand when he shouldn't hold hands, Elizabeth also flexibly covered it up.

In his heart, he was proud of such a dancing partner, and he spent so much effort to find a new pair of dancing shoes for Elizabeth, and the reward was far greater than he imagined.In the future, there is no need for Pemberley Manor to hire any dance teacher, just refer to Elizabeth's dancing posture.

Mr. Darcy is thinking too far, not to mention that Elizabeth is talented and hard-working, she has danced hundreds of dances with you for five years, and she knows what you are going to do as soon as you raise your hand or foot.

"Your steps are not right, Mr. Darcy, did you remember wrongly?" Elizabeth chose to remind: "It's not like this for others."

Darcy was enjoying the intimacy, though he lied solemnly through the glove: "Is it? But that's the most fashionable way to dance in London."

"Dancing in London may not be more fashionable than in the countryside. For at most three days, there will be no difference in dancing styles on dance floors everywhere." Elizabeth looked at her future husband with a smile and took her hand back as if nothing had happened: "Could it be that this is Pemberley Manor? new fashion?"

Darcy took the step along the way: "As the owner of the manor, I want to say yes, I even have the right to decide whether to hold hands or not." When he hooked his arms and twirled with his partner, he squinted at Elizabeth's arm The lace-covered folding fan: "You should change your fan. Miss Elizabeth, there are many fashionable styles in London. If you really don't like it, Pemberley also has a large collection. I remember that I invited you to meet my sister Georgiana, and wait for it." You come."

Elizabeth blushed, knowing that Darcy meant something. This fan was a tacit cheat sheet among the ladies. There were eight pieces of music for a top-level ball. Unless you spent ten hours a day on the dance floor, no one would listen to it. I'm sure I remember correctly, so this kind of fan with dance step cheat sheet is almost everyone at the ball.

Darcy was teasing himself kindly, covering up his intentional attempt to pretend to be close to him by pretending to dance wrongly, and then invited himself to Pemberley as a guest again. Elizabeth felt that he made his pursuit so obvious that it almost made her flustered.

This progress is much faster than before, which is inseparable from her own attitude of being happy to see what happens.

She was so excited that she didn't talk to Darcy for a long time, lest she lose her composure and reveal her years of affection.

Darcy also thought of himself as an abrupt beauty, which made the other party unhappy. Fortunately, the dance music was coming to an end, and he only needed to palm the other party's waist and take the dance partner around for half a circle, and it was a perfect end.

The high-waisted Regency-era dance skirt was able to conceal a flawed figure, and if the lady's waist was a little thicker, she would not be able to see it at all.However, what Darcy came into contact with was really a small waist that could be supported by a single palm. He recalled the effort when he helped Miss Elizabeth mount the horse last time, and thought that this waist was not only slender, but also powerful.

He still didn't let go of his hand until the people around him began to bow to say goodbye to each other. Elizabeth became anxious: "Mr. Darcy, the music has stopped."

"Your shoes don't fit, I'm just afraid you'll fall." But his eyes were insincere, brighter than the candles burning on the chandelier.

Elizabeth had just finished a dance, and her face was flushed because her partner was her husband, and her eyes sparkled even more. In the eyes of a lover, she was too beautiful. Mr. Darcy was also young, even if his family was very strict, he went to college together There are always some little secrets about the opposite sex among the male students.

For example, the passages in the books that are passed around, the fragrant lips and soft necks, or the illustrations of others blushing and heartbeating, all make people toss and turn in the dead of night.

Elizabeth almost thought he was going to kiss herself, but it would not be in this crowded ball anyway, Darcy quickly approached her ear and whispered: "Wait for me at the old place, Miss Elizabeth, I have something very important to tell you."

Then he turned around and left, otherwise he would no longer be able to hide his feelings.

Elizabeth took the cool breeze from the terrace for a while before she calmed down. She realized that Darcy was probably asking for marriage, but she ushered in an unexpected guest.

"You are here, Cousin Elizabeth." It was Collins who came: "The Duchess is so kind, she pulled me and Mary and told me a lot, which made me feel infected and wanted to do something good to help others from the bottom of my heart. .”

Elizabeth was puzzled.

Collins lowered his voice: "It is said at the ball that you and Mr. Wickham disappeared after dancing. As future relatives, oh, we are relatives, but the connection is closer than before." Collins licked his lips nervously: "I think I have I must remind you that Mr. Wickham is not a decent man, and I have absolute proof, for I accidentally saw him with Miss Anne at Rosings Park."

On Darcy's side, she was stopped by Jane. She cut off her way to London and lost Bingley. She didn't want to make it easier for Elizabeth. She saw that no one asked to talk to Darcy, and she would not allow Darcy to refuse. : "Mr. Darcy, my sister Elizabeth has heard a gossip from Mr. Wickham concerning your sister, Miss Georgiana Darcy."
