At the same time that Elizabeth felt that her health had improved, the officers' quarters were changed to Meryton.

That means that Wickham is also here. She doesn't want to see this man at all, and girls in the UK shouldn't see this scumbag.

According to Lydia's temperament, she should be pulling Kitty to have a heated fight with some young and handsome officers at this moment. She can't wait to start from Longbourne at dawn and return from Meryton after dark.Now Lydia didn't show any signs of running out. Although she still loved to play and make trouble, she didn't do anything too outrageous.

Even Mrs. Bennet wiped her tears and cried, "My Lydia has finally grown up."

It is reasonable to say that the troubles have stopped, and everyone should celebrate, but Elizabeth is not happy.

Lydia has not grown up to be sensible at all, and the youngest daughter in this room is not the original Lydia at all.Elizabeth gathered the shawl around her body, and couldn't help coughing lightly. Lydia immediately brought her tea. Sitting at the other end of the sofa, she unconsciously shook her legs twice because she had nothing to do, and immediately looked nervous again. stopped.

It has been raining non-stop for the past few days, and apart from reading and doing needlework, she can only be in a daze. Lydia feels that she is about to get moldy.

Then she pinched her own thigh and took a careful look at Jane, who didn't even lift her eyelids.

Elizabeth had heard that Darcy had danced with Jane at Lucas's house, and her heart ached.In this era of very conservative contact between men and women, the only fair communication is the dance party. Although dancing is done through gloves, men and women who are speculative with each other can still create different sparks in the rotation of many dance partners.

She has confidence in Darcy. After all, Darcy proposed to her after a lot of struggles. It is definitely true love, but it is useless if true love cannot be seen.

At this time, the servant came in with a letter, saying that it was from Netherfield Gardens, and Jane's eyes lit up immediately, knowing that the plot was coming.Not to mention that Bingley has completely succumbed to her charm, except that Miss Bingley, the doorman, has nothing to blame for her. Even Darcy has danced with her. It seems that the impression is not bad. She waits This episode has been waiting impatiently for a long time.

The letter was from Caroline, saying that she and her sister, Mrs. Hurst, were bored face to face all day long, and hoped Jane would do her honor to keep them company.The second half of the letter said that Mr. Bingley and his friends had gone to Meryton to meet the officers for dinner, so Jane could only meet the targets.

Not to mention that Jane herself would not be reconciled, and Mrs. Bennet would not agree to this assist.

Mrs. Bennet found a lot of reasons to show that the family carriage was useless. You must know that the Bennet family earns [-] pounds a year, and they have to count carefully to maintain a balance of income and expenditure. Almost [-] pounds are used to support the carriage, Maintenance of stables.As a result, my eldest daughter wanted to go out but didn't have a carriage. I don't know how the neighbors would make fun of the Bennet family to rush their daughter to spend the night at someone else's house.

But the hostess was complacent, thinking that she was the smartest, as if she was an ever-victorious general who wanted to command Longbourn's daughter's army to defeat all the prisoners of Meryton's sons' army.

Elizabeth is not only because anyone with a discerning eye can see the intentions of the Bennet family, and the whole family will lose face. Now she is still unwilling to let this Jane and Darcy get along day and night, but she can't convince Mrs. Bennet, her father has always been too lazy to talk to her His wife argued and just wanted to close the study door and ignore everything.So Jane's riding to Netherfield became a foregone conclusion, and Elizabeth couldn't open her mouth to be with her. She could only go through the story of Jane's illness tomorrow morning at the earliest.

The last time Jane did catch a cold because of the rain, she had to rest for several days before she could get out of bed and move around.

And because she went to take care of Jane, she had the last intersection with Darcy.

Will the plot go off the rails this time?

Elizabeth still took care of Jane in a very subtle way. If she got a cold from the rain, it would be no small matter.

However, in the eyes of modern people, a cold is really a trivial matter to take some medicine, not to mention that in the original book, Jane recovered quickly and took the opportunity to stay in Netherfield.

In turn, Jane comforted Elizabeth: "Miss Bingley's kind invitation, I really can't refuse. Netherfield is not far from here, even if you ride a horse, you can get there before it rains. If the carriage can be spared, my mother will definitely Will use it for me."

This is determined to rain, Elizabeth was speechless.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for it to rain outside, and it rained heavily, even bigger than Elizabeth remembered, and even a small branch was blown by the wind and rain and floated past the window. It was a storm.But this Jane didn't know, and suffered in vain.

It was not until dusk that the rain subsided, and even Mrs. Bennet muttered uncertainly: "Jane must have arrived at Netherfield Gardens, right? Should I send someone to see... in case there is any delay along the way , she can't meet Mr Bingley before he goes out."

The mother only cares about whether her daughter can meet with the rich young master, Elizabeth is too lazy to answer the question.

Lydia kept running back and forth, and when she saw that the rain had finally subsided, she immediately acted coquettishly on Mrs. Bennet: "Mom, I'm going to Meryton to play."

"It's dusk, my baby, I'll go out tomorrow, and tonight I have your favorite baked beef with potatoes." Mrs. Bennet coaxed Lydia.

Lydia offered a magic weapon: "Oh, Mom, I'm going to play with the officers with Kitty!"

"Oh!" Mrs. Bennet thought of those officers in red uniforms, all of them were majestic. When she was young, she had imagined being an officer's wife. Lydia, who was most like her, was enough to match the most handsome one among them, although The military position is not considered rich, but it will not starve Lydia, she is already imagining Lydia wearing a wedding dress: "Have someone harness you a horse, take a carriage, the road is full of mud. Let's go. I still want to wear that purple plaid skirt, this color suits my baby the most beautiful!"

Elizabeth: "..."

She was 100% sure that Lydia was going for Darcy or Bingley. This Lydia was not interested in the officer at all, otherwise she wouldn't have waited until today to go to Meryton.Because Mrs. Bennet's younger sister's family lives in Meryton, Lydia can ask Uncle Philip to take her and Kitty to the officers' house. Mrs. Bennet never thought of stopping it, but until today Lydia made the request.

Because of Jane's brilliance, Lydia has never had a chance, until today, even Mrs. Bennet is foolishly cooperating with her. If she doesn't have a chance encounter with Darcy, she will be struck by lightning.

She and Kitty rode away happily in the carriage.

That night Jane really didn't come back, Mrs. Bennet prayed to God joyfully countless times, which made Mr. Bennet pull off his nightcap to cover his face, and didn't sleep well all night.Lydia and Kitty came back in the Bingleys' carriage, saying that the Bennets' carriage had broken down, and Uncle Philip had gone to the blacksmith in Meryton to fix it.

This incident is too coincidental, it must be that Lydia secretly broke her own carriage, and she wanted to use the Bingley family's carriage as an excuse to let them send her back to Longbourn. Even if the two places are only one mile apart, it is enough Talking and laughing for a while.But when Elizabeth heard Mrs. Bennet thankfully say that there was only the lovely Mr. Bingley in the carriage, but not the annoying Mr. Darcy, Elizabeth was so happy that she laughed for a long time under the quilt.

Mrs. Bennet added that Jane went to Netherfield as a guest at Miss Bingley's invitation, but she didn't come back for some reason, and asked Mr. Bingley to see what happened when he went back.Thinking of the heavy rain in the afternoon, Bingley subconsciously guessed that the beauty in his heart had caught a cold, and immediately returned to his heart, wishing to fly back to Netherfield immediately to take care of Jane in every possible way.

As for why Darcy didn't go with him, it was because there were three people in Bingley's carriage to Meryton. He, Bingley and Mr. Hurst also had to carry Lydia and Kitty on the return trip. , it becomes too crowded.He had no relatives at Netherfield, unlike Bingley and Hester, who had a sister and a wife.Besides, he was too lazy to take care of the two young children of the Bennet family, so he decided to stay at the hotel in Meryton and ride back early the next morning.

Elizabeth had a tacit understanding with him, and had already guessed this verse.

She hadn't been keen on going to Netherfield to see Jane, who was not her sister, but now she seemed compelled to go.Even though the encounter this time was different from the previous ones, Elizabeth still felt happy and regarded it as a memory worth cherishing.Especially these girls want to pursue Darcy in all kinds of tricks, and Elizabeth, who is on pins and needles, is even more nervous about Darcy.

Her husband, Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy, can only be her future partner, Elizabeth Bennet.

At daybreak the next day, someone sent a letter from Netherfield, but this time Jane's letter was not addressed to Elizabeth. She and Elizabeth only had a superficial intimacy. Darcy.Her letter was addressed to Mrs. Bennet, in which she said that she felt a little uncomfortable after being exposed to the rain yesterday, but emphasized that it was just a cough and nothing serious. She may need to disturb the Bingley family for a few days, but let the family not worry.

In fact, she did not reach Netherfield at all, but fell off her horse to hide from the rain half a mile away, and was escorted into Netherfield by servants who came out to find someone.In order to prevent Elizabeth from coming, she even downplayed her serious condition.

Mrs. Bennet saw that the trick had been accomplished, and began to fantasize happily about Bingley's proposal to Jane.

Elizabeth didn't care how sick Jane was, she was going out now to meet her husband.Because of the obstruction of these unknown women, she has never had the opportunity to meet Darcy since the first meeting at the Meryton Ball where she didn't even say a word.

Darcy is obsessed with her eyes, she can just stare at him even if she doesn't speak.As long as she looked at him, he couldn't sit still.

Elizabeth had prepared a light dress early in the morning, and she could go out as long as she wore a cloak over it. Mrs. Bennet had just finished reading the letter, and she said that she was going to Netherfield to visit Jane, and she would go out with a pair of walking boots. out.

Lydia originally wanted to jump out and say that she was going to see Jane, but she didn't expect Elizabeth to move so fast, but that's what was written in the original book, and she didn't have anything to stop her. She just regretted her bad luck. Although she went to Meryton yesterday When I met Darcy, I didn't expect that he didn't come back with the carriage. Instead, it was Mr. Hurst, a lazy fat man who slept drunk all day long, chattering abnormally all the way, and Lydia wanted to jump out of the carriage because of the smell of alcohol.

Soon Lydia became happy again, curious that Elizabeth would just go there, and Jane would definitely fight this official partner for [-] rounds in Netherfield Gardens.

Maybe in the end, no one will be able to please her, and instead, she will be cheaper than her sister-in-law.

She shook her legs excitedly.
