Mary and Mr. Hunt had accomplished a good deed, which naturally made the Miss Bennets very happy, and Mr. and Mrs. Gardiner and Mr. and Mrs. Weston were also very happy to hear the news.They urged several Miss Bennets to write back to Longbourne, asking whether a date had been fixed, what preparations were to be made, and whether they were going back.

Jane also quickly wrote back to them, telling them that there is no need to rush to leave, because Mr. Hunter has a backlog of business affairs in London that have not been dealt with. Now that he has won the favor of his sweetheart, he will naturally deal with the leftover matters , married Mary so easily, and had a happy and long honeymoon with Mary.

Considering that several Miss Bennet are out of town, Jane accepted the invitation of Miss Charlotte Lucas, now Mrs. Collins, to go to Kent in March, and Mr. Hunter himself has a lot of backlogs. He has to deal with official business, depending on the situation, he may have to go to the north, and also arrange various matters such as the wedding. After discussing with Mr. Bennet, he set the wedding date in September.Although Mrs. Bennet felt that the delay was a bit long, but seeing that Mr. Hunter and Mary were very affectionate, there should be no changes, so she reluctantly agreed.And it was only now that I found out that the newspaper run by Mr. Hunter turned out to be the newspaper that published Mary's novels, and he used his position to include in the feedback to Mary's readers long before he met Mary. The two had actually become pen pals before they met each other. After Mr. Hunter came to Meryton and asked for a while, he immediately confirmed that Mary was the Mr. Matt.

The happy event of the Longbourne family could not be long concealed.Mrs. Bennet first obtained a dispensation to secretly tell the story to Mrs. Philip, who, without anyone's permission, boldly circulated it throughout the neighborhood of Meryton.Everyone talked a lot, saying that the Bennet family had been unlucky one after another, but now they suddenly became the most blessed family.Anyone with a discerning eye can see how superior Mr. Hunter is to Mr. Collins who held the wedding ceremony before. Since Mr. Hunter is about to become a member of the Bennet family, Mr. Bingley, as his good friend, is also very likely.

Mr. Hunter insisted on staying for a few days after the wedding date was preliminarily drawn up, but the interim person in charge of the newspaper sent letters to urge him to go back after knowing that the good thing had happened, saying that if he didn't care about his newspaper again, he would It was about to quit the business, so Mr. Hunter had to say goodbye to the Bennet family reluctantly and go to the city.Before he left, he repeatedly asked Mary to write him more letters, and Mary naturally agreed.

Not long after Mr. Hunt returned to London, Jane received a letter from Elizabeth, saying that Mr. Hunt had visited the Gardiners at their residence and said that he lived very comfortably in the quiet and comfortable Tennessee Street. Happy, Uncle Gardiner and Aunt Gardiner greet her with care and care, she just misses her parents and sisters, especially Mary, she really wants to congratulate her personally, but now she can only express her joy by writing letters .

Jane smiled and read Elizabeth's letter to express her blessings, but she couldn't help frowning as she read it, because in the second half of the letter, Elizabeth mentioned news about the Bingley family.

"Remember what I told you in my last letter about not hearing from Miss Bingley for a week after I entered town?" wrote Elizabeth, "about three weeks ago, my aunt and I went to When I was in that part of the city, I took the opportunity to call on Miss Bingley in Grosvenor Street, who looked sullen and reproached me for not giving her advance notice of my coming to London, which I was very surprised at, For I wrote to her both at Longbourn and London, and it is hard to imagine what a coincidence could have caused both letters to be lost! I am not afraid, you know, Jane, that I understood almost at once that It was Miss Bingley's excuse that she did not wish to see me. My visit was not long, for Miss Bingley said she and Mrs. Hurst were going out, and at parting they promised a couple of I will come to Tian'en Temple Street to visit me within a few days..."

"Dear Jane, though you have told me that I should keep my friendship with Sister Bingley on account of the great bond of brother and sister Bingley, I must now confess that even though I tried my best to like Bingley Miss Lai, let her like me, and tried my best to maintain our friendship. I still can't violate my character. I'm afraid I have to give up on this matter now. Mr. Hunter came to visit our first Miss Bingley did not call until the next day, and it was evident that she did not wish to see me again. When I asked about her brother, she made it clear that he knew I was in London, but he Had a hot fight with Mr Darcy and his sister..."

"Has Mr. Bingley really succumbed to worldliness? I don't know. But I've done all I can, and now it's all over. I think I'll soon forget the relationship , treat him as a passer-by in my life, and happily welcome Mary’s happy event.”

Jane was a little sad when she saw Elizabeth's last few words, and the joy brought to her by Mary's good deeds was also diluted a lot. She could see that Elizabeth's words still showed disappointment, which made her feel sorry for her sister. feel disappointed.She was very sure that Miss Bingley should have received Elizabeth's letter, and she also believed that Elizabeth's heart was open, but was what Miss Bingley said in the end the truth?Was it true that Mr. Bingley no longer cared about Elizabeth?Mr. Bingley in the original book is indeed devoted to the end, but if the heroine is replaced by Elizabeth, will the result be the same?

In any case, Elizabeth has indeed done everything she can. According to Miss Bingley's attitude in her letter, Elizabeth must make sure that the family's attitude towards her is not welcome before visiting her, just to meet her. It would be too hurtful to try your luck to meet Mr. Bingley and confirm what Miss Bingley said, and this is definitely not something that a lady from the Bennet family is willing to do.And now that Elizabeth has made her own decision, Jane no longer thinks too much about it. Since then, Mr. Bingley has rarely been mentioned in the correspondence between the two sisters, and as March approaches, Jane's mind gradually occupied by travel.

One of the particular pleasures of this trip was the opportunity of seeing Elizabeth, and spending the night in London.Because Mr. Hunter was not in London—he went to the north again shortly after returning to London, and she was doing a new round of creation, and because the carriage would be more crowded after adding her, she refused to go, and stayed at home Accompany the Bennets, and reassure Jane on her journey with Sir William Lucas and Maria.

Mr. Bennet and Mrs. Bennet were naturally very sad about the departure of their eldest daughter, because after she left, Mary was the only daughter left in the family, but since the matter had been decided, they had to ask Jane to write back often.

The distance from Hertfordshire to London was only twenty-seven miles, and the party set off early in order to reach Tennessee Street at noon.Elizabeth was watching them from the drawing-room window when they entered the door of Mr. Gardiner's house.Elizabeth was there waiting for them when they entered the passage.The boys and girls were eager to see their cousin, and they couldn't wait in the living room, and because they hadn't seen each other for a year, they were a little shy and embarrassed to go downstairs, so they all crowded at the stairs.Jane hugged Elizabeth enthusiastically, and carefully looked at her face, and was very happy to see that she was healthy, beautiful, lively and lovely as usual.She let go of Elizabeth, and hugged her little cousin and little cousin again, and kissed them affectionately.There is an atmosphere of joy and kindness everywhere.

Jane had a very happy day. Although she was busy making a mess during the day and had to go out to buy things needed for the rest of the journey, she could see her sister and the Gardiners. The little cousin and cousin she met, and they can go to the theater to watch a play together at night, what is there for her to be dissatisfied with?

During the after-dinner nap, Jane sat down beside Lady Gardiner to talk to her, and Elizabeth was the first thing they talked about.Jane asked a lot of questions carefully, and Mrs. Gardiner answered her, saying that although Elizabeth seemed to have laughed off Mr. Bingley and her affairs, she seemed no different from before, but she occasionally saw her lost in thought, He was also a little depressed, as if he hadn't fully recovered from his emotional trauma.Jane was not very surprised by this, for it appeared from the lines of Elizabeth's letters that her affection for Mr. Bingley was deeper than she had imagined.Mrs. Gardiner reminded Jane of all the circumstances of Miss Bingley's visit to Temple Street, and recounted to Jane several conversations between Elizabeth and her. The lady came and went, and she also made up her mind to let go of this relationship, but it still takes time to dilute everything.

The two chatted about Mary again, and about her and Mr. Hunter's good things. When Mr. Hunter came back from the north this time, he would start to arrange various matters for the wedding. At that time, Mr. and Mrs. Gardiner would also help

Jane and Elizabeth slept together at night, and early the next morning, they said goodbye to the family in Tianen Temple Street and set off for Kent.
