Pride and Prejudice Becoming Jane Bennet

After Jane said that she didn't know that Mr. Matt, Mr. Hunter looked at Jane with an inscrutable expression.

"Really?" he said.

Jane was a little uncomfortable. She always felt that Mr. Hunter was looking for something through her expression. At this moment, a request for a dance came to her rescue.

"Miss Bennet," said the voice.

As if relieved, Jane quickly turned her head to look, only to find that it was Mr. Darcy!

"Do I have the honor of asking you to dance?" he said.

"Of course!" Jane froze for a moment, said involuntarily, and handed him her hand in a daze.

When the dance music started and the two stood face to face, Jane still couldn't recover.On the one hand, she was still thinking about Mr. Hunter's meaningful "really?" On the other hand, she was surprised that Mr. Darcy invited herself to dance—since the accident in Lujiazhuang, she had already identified Darcy as Mr. See would never ask her to dance again, and it had been the case at previous balls.

"I noticed that you had a very pleasant conversation with Mr. Hunter?" asked Mr. Darcy suddenly.

"Yes," replied Jane, "Mr. Hunter is a genial gentleman, very interested in the customs and customs of Hertfordshire."

Mr. Darcy did not answer.

Jane looked up at him and asked, "Are you and Mr. Hunter an old acquaintance?"

"Yes, we are old friends," replied Mr. Darcy.

After a moment's silence, he asked again: "Do you and your sister often walk to Meryton?"

"Yes," said Jane, "we often go."

She suddenly remembered the day when she met Mr. Darcy and Mr. Wickham and Mr. Wickham's words and deeds afterwards. She hesitated for a moment, but said uncontrollably: "When we met that day, we were meeting a new friend."

The remark had an immediate effect, and a shadow fell over Mr. Darcy's face, and it was evident that Mr. Darcy knew who the "new friend" Jane was referring to.He didn't speak for a moment, his face was gloomy, and his aura of rejecting people thousands of miles away suddenly became stronger, making Jane start to blame herself for her recklessness.After a long silence, he finally said: "Mr. Wickham's pleasant disposition makes him easy to make friends, but it is hard to say whether he can keep them."

Jane looked at him, summoned up her courage and said, "According to him, you once had a friendship."

Mr. Darcy looked at her and said nothing, so Jane was obliged to go on herself: "The loss of this friendship seems to have pained him very much."

She glanced at Mr. Darcy again, and said: "I remember you said that it is very difficult for you to forgive others. Once you have a grudge against someone, you can't get rid of it. You must be very cautious when you make an enemy?"

"Exactly," replied Mr. Darcy.

"Even if such enmity can cause bad influence?"

Mr. Darcy frowned slightly. He glanced at Jane and asked, "May I ask what is the purpose of these questions?"

Jane looked at him, and said deliberately, "Mr. Wickham..." she said.

"He told me something about what happened between you...something...it's unbelievable."

She felt the gloomy atmosphere surrounding Mr. Darcy's body become a little stronger in an instant, and the cold eyes fell on Jane, which made her feel more pressured, but she still bite the bullet and said: "Mr. Wickham is so It may not have been a decent conduct, but aren't you going to explain what he said, sir?"

The dance music ended here, but the two stood in place without moving.

"What did he say to you?" asked Mr. Darcy coldly.

"As for why he joined the army," Jane said, "it's entirely your fault."

"I do have a grudge against him," said Mr. Darcy quickly, "but I have done what is right!"

He paused, and then said: "I hope you don't try to speculate on my behavior, it's not good for you or me."

He quickly finished these two sentences, bowed to Jane, turned around and walked away quickly.

Jane stood there feeling a little aggrieved and a little uncomfortable - her original intention was to remind Mr. Darcy to pay attention to Wickham's defamation of his reputation in private - now it has been known to many people, but Mr. Darcy seems to think that This is her questioning of his character.

She took a deep breath and walked towards the corner of the room where Mary and Miss Charlotte Lucas were standing together talking.

On the way, she heard Mrs. Bennet beaming to Mrs. Lucas and said, "Look! No one can resist Jane's cuteness! Not even that Mr. Darcy! Oh! And the newcomer Mr Hunter, I hear he is the youngest son of the Earl, and runs a newspaper of his own! Look at Mr Bingley again. I believe I can expect two good things to happen soon, my daughters will soon marry To the rich man's house!"

Hearing Mrs. Bennet's words made Jane feel even more uncomfortable, but she didn't have the heart to stop Mrs. Bennet from speaking rudely now. She came to Mary and Charlotte Lucas, laughed and talked to Charlotte He said hello, then took Mary's hand and told her that he had something to say to her.But suddenly Mr. Collins appeared beside them.

"Mr. Collins!" Jane looked at him and found that he had noticed Charlotte beside him, and said, "Charlotte, please allow me to introduce you to my cousin, Mr. Collins."

Then she introduced Miss Lucas to Mr. Collins, who at once said how honored he was to know the friend of his pretty cousin, and what a sweet lady Miss Lucas was, and invited Miss Lucas to dance with him dance, Miss Lucas politely agreed.

"Charlotte is going to suffer," said Mary to Jane after they had left. "Mr. Collins is not a very good partner."

To tell the truth, Mr. Collins is really a bad partner. He is dull and clumsy. He only knows how to apologize, but he doesn’t know how to be careful. The direction hit several people.

Jane sighed, pulled Mary aside, and said to her, "Mary, who else knows about your novel being serialized in newspapers except us sisters?"

Mary looked at Jane strangely, and said, "I don't think so. I never told anyone about it."

"Do the boss and the clerk at the post office know about it?"

"I don't think they know it. Every time I go, I say that I am sending a letter to a boudoir friend I met in London."

Several Miss Bennets often visited their uncles and aunts in London in turn, so it is not suspicious to know and become pen pals with some Misses in London.

"Really?" Jane murmured hesitantly.

"Oh!" Mary suddenly remembered something, and said, "Recently, because the newspaper office has sent some readers' feedback to me, there are a lot of mails. Does this make the post office suspicious?"

Jian Wu was thinking about something, but didn't answer for a while.

"Did you hear any rumors?" Mary said worriedly.

"No, it's not," said Jane quickly, "don't worry."

She squeezed her sister's hand and said, "There are no rumors, but have you seen the new Mr. Hunter?"

They looked towards where Mr. Hunt stood, talking to Mr. Darcy in the corner.

"The gentleman read your article. He mentioned Mr. Matt to me and asked me if I knew it. I told him I didn't know." Jane said, "But his reaction made me a little concerned..."

"Jane!" Mary interrupted her suddenly.

"What?" Jane looked at her in confusion, but she quickly realized what had happened, because Mr. Hunter was walking towards them and was now standing in front of them.

No matter how reluctant Jane was, she still introduced her sister and the gentleman in front of her. She was a little disturbed to find that when she said "Mary Bennet", Mr. Hunter's eyes flashed What.
