Because of such an accident as a robber, the surprise that Mrs. Weston wanted to prepare for Mr. Weston was discovered in this way—everyone saw the act of the jewelry store clerk handing the ring back to Mrs. Weston. And Mrs. Weston chased it out in such a hurry, obviously she didn't want to lose this ring, and because this ring is a male ring, and Mrs. Weston has no male relatives, who is this ring for? It's crystal clear.

After the robbers were turned over to the police station, and the jewelry store returned to its original orderly state, Jane and Mrs. Weston walked back to the front of the showcase where they had stopped, and prepared to let the staff pack the jewelry they had just selected. Get up, only this time, there are three more gentlemen beside them.

Both Jane and Mrs. Weston were very surprised that these gentlemen would get together and appear in the jewelry store at this time, so they naturally asked them why they came.

"I went back to where we stayed after finishing my business today," Mr. Weston explained, "John told me that you came to this jewelry store today, so I wanted to come to you, and I met Henry on the way. Mr Turt and Mr Darcy."

While talking, he introduced Mr. Darcy to Mrs. Weston and Jane, and said: "Jane, you and Mr. Darcy are old acquaintances, so I don't think I need to introduce you again. Vichy, this gentleman is Henry Good friend of Mr Turt, owner of Pemberley Hall in Derbyshire."

Mrs. Weston had never met Mr. Darcy before, but had heard him said of him in Hertfordshire as a very haughty fellow, who had disregarded his father's wishes and treated Wayne badly. Mr. John and so on.But when she saw him and talked to him a few more times, she found that although the heir of the Pemberley Manor did have the feeling of being in a high position in demeanor, he was not annoying, and his manner was elegant. Polite and thoughtful, and not putting on airs at all, far from the rumored person.She also thought of Jane's evaluation of this gentleman that she had asked after hearing the rumors, and thought that she might also be deceived by that Mr. Wickham. Evaluation, I'm afraid it's just the opposite of their actual quality.

"Miss Bennet!" Mr. Hunter said to Jane when Mr. Darcy and Mrs. Weston were greeting each other. "It's great to see you here! I was walking on the road with Darcy when we met Mr. Weston. He told me you were at Birmingham, which made me very happy! How are you?"

"I'm fine, thank you." Jane replied with a smile.

"I've just finished my business in the North, and I should have gone back to Longbourne at once," said Mr. Hunter, "but knowing you are so near, I thought I must come and see you first. , tell me, is Mary all right?"

He paused, realized that he had missed something, and said, "How is your family?"

Jane couldn’t help laughing, and replied: “They are all very well, sir.”

Mr. Hunter nodded happily, looked at the pieces of jewelry in front of Jane, was stunned, and asked again: "Are you shopping for jewelry for your sister, Miss Bennet?"

Jane heard that she looked at Mr. Hunter in surprise, and she didn't understand where Mr. Hunter could tell that the jewelry she bought was not for herself or her mother.

Mr. Hunter also noticed Jane's surprised expression, smiled a little cautiously, and said, "Do you mind if I ask, did you buy this for Miss Mary?"

"Indeed." Jane looked at Mr. Hunter in surprise.

"This set suits her so well," Mr. Hunter said involuntarily, "I've been walking around the whole street for several days, but I haven't seen such a set called her...Miss Bennet, what are you planning to buy? Which one is it?"

Jane watched his eyes turn back and forth between the hairpin and the set of jewelry, and finally landed on the jewelry and did not move. The whole person seemed eager to try and couldn't wait to ask the buddy to wrap up the jewelry. She couldn't help it. Laughed.

"I think this hairpin is very suitable for Mary, what do you think, Mr. Hunter?" Jane said, picking up the sapphire hairpin.

"Yes, of course!" said Mr. Hunter, looking at the hairpin.

After a pause, he looked at the way Jane looked at him with a smile on his face, smiled a little embarrassedly, and said, "Excuse me, Miss Bennet, I think this set of jewelry is what you originally planned to buy ?Would you part, Miss Bennet? Or . . . may I have the honor of buying her for you?"

Jane smiled, she understood the meaning of Mr. Hunter's words.Obviously, Mr. Hunter wanted to bring some jewelry back to please the lady, but unfortunately he turned around and found the gift he was satisfied with until now, but he bumped into himself.

"Please go ahead, sir." Jane said after a short thought, "The price of this set of jewelry is beyond my budget, and the money I brought today is not enough to buy her, and I am worrying about how to buy her." Don't miss her!"

Mr. Hunter was cut off from Jane, and he was extremely happy to be able to buy the set of jewelry that he thought was suitable for his fiancée at the first sight.He couldn't wait to order the clerk of the jewelry store to pack up the jewelry, and then went to take out the money bag, as if he was afraid that someone else would rob him of this set of jewelry, so he didn't want to wait for a minute, and only wanted to get the jewelry as soon as possible. Well dedicated to Mary.

Jane hadn't seen him for a long time, and her impression of him was still in February. At that time, this gentleman had just got engaged to Mary, and he was immersed in joy, but he was still in his daily life. Keeping his usual calm style, he has never been so eager as he is now, which surprised Jane a little bit, but also a little funny.

Seeing that Mr. Hunter was chatting enthusiastically with the clerk about jewelry packaging, and on the other hand, Mr. Darcy was still communicating with the Weston couple, she went to the side and called another clerk to help him pack the jewelry she had chosen. A hairpin wraps it up.

She was picking out the gift box for hairpins when she felt a person come up behind her and stopped still.

"Miss Bennet," said the man, "I hope you are well?"

Jane turned and looked, and saw that it was Mr. Darcy.

"I'm all right," she replied, "thank you."

"How is your family, too?" Mr. Darcy asked again.

"They're all very well," Jane replied.

Mr. Darcy nodded and fell silent.

Jane looked at his silent look, thought for a while, and said, "I want to thank you again, sir. If it weren't for your generous help, I'm afraid Mrs. Weston would not be able to get that ring back."

"Any man would see something like that and ignore it," Mr Darcy said. "It would be an honor to be able to help."

Jane smiled. She is only thankful that she spoke to Mr. Hunter first, and she has adjusted the surprise of seeing Mr. Darcy in this place and the subsequent ups and downs of emotions during the conversation. Otherwise, she would definitely not be able to talk to him as calmly as she is now.

"I didn't expect to see you here," said Jane, looking at him. "I thought you were in London."

"No," said Mr. Darcy, looking at her, "I'm not there--"

When he said this, there was a smile on his lips, which made Jane startled.

"I have some business here," said he. "I just came here yesterday. . . I heard from Mr. Weston that you have been here five days?"

"Yes." Jane replied.

"I intended to call on you at your hotel," continued Mr. Darcy, "but Mr. Weston told me that you were leaving for Derbyshire to-morrow?"

Jane looked at him and said, "I suppose so."

Mr. Darcy looked at her silently for a while, and then said again: "Would you like to visit Pemberley Manor during your stay in Derbyshire?"

Seeing Jane's puzzled expression, he explained: "I just proposed to Mr. Weston, but he asked for your permission. Would you like to come, Miss Bennet? There is a beautiful forest in Pemberley Manor, I thought you'd like to see it? Some of your acquaintances are going too."

"Someone I know?" Jane asked.

"Mr. Bingley and his sister," said Mr. Darcy.

Jane nodded clearly, but hesitated in her heart whether she should agree to Mr. Darcy's invitation, because her feelings for these two gentlemen are very delicate now.As for Mr. Darcy, she wanted to approach, but she was timid, her feelings for this gentleman urged her to approach this gentleman, talk to him, and find out if he still had the same feelings for her. , but reason warned her not to do this, because as soon as she got close to him, she could hardly maintain her superficial calmness—although she could talk to him politely now, only she knew that her heart was beating Gotta be how fast.As for Mr. Bingley, she was so disappointed in him that she could not be sure that, when she saw him again, she would be able to speak to him as innocently as she had in Hertfordshire.

At this time, Mr. Darcy saw that she was still silent, and said, "There is another person who wishes to know you very much."

He looked at the way Jane looked at himself suspiciously, and continued: "Would you like...or think I'm too presumptuous to introduce my sister to you during your stay in Derbyshire?"

"Miss Darcy?" asked Jane in surprise.

Mr. Darcy nodded.

Jane was about to speak, but at this time, the clerk of the jewelry store had already packed the hairpin and put it in front of her.She quickly opened her handbag and handed the jewelry money to the man.During this period, she quickly made a decision.

"It will be my honor," Jane turned to Mr. Darcy after handing over the money to the clerk, "but my itinerary is all under the arrangement of Mr. Weston."

Mr. Darcy smiled and said: "You are really considerate traveling companions, Miss Bennet. Please don't worry, Mr. Weston did not refuse my invitation. Since you agreed, I will discuss this matter again. Consulted with Mr. Weston."

At this time, Mr. and Mrs. Weston had bought the ring and came over.Mr. Weston held his wife by the arm and said to Jane, "Jane, look at this ring. Does it suit me very well? I dare say, this is the one I have received for more than forty years. The best gift ever!"

Mrs. Weston couldn't help laughing at his statement, and said: "Unfortunately, I originally wanted to take this as a surprise."

Mr. Weston laughed and said, "My dear Vichy, this is enough surprise!"

He looked at Jane and found that she was standing with Mr. Darcy, and said again: "Jane, Mr. Darcy just invited us to visit Pemberley Manor, what do you think?"

Jane laughed, and told Mr. Weston that as long as it didn't interfere with the itinerary he had already planned, or that he was happy to change it, she was quite all right.Mr. Weston was very happy to hear her answer, because he had heard about the beauty of Pemberley Manor for a long time, but he had never had the opportunity to visit there before. This time, he was invited by the owner of the manor to be a guest on the manor, but it was a success. His wish for many years, he immediately told Mr. Darcy that his party would be happy to accept his invitation.

"It's a very wise decision." Mr. Hunter said, who had already packed the jewelry, "Pemberley Manor is a very beautiful place. I dare say that it has the most beautiful woods and the best gardens in the country. It would be a pity if you couldn't go to the fishing pond."

"Fortunately, we can avoid this regret now." Mr. Darcy said with a smile.

"It's a pity I can't see the beauty of Pemberley any more!" said Mr. Hunt. "I must hurry back to London."

Everyone knew why he was in such a hurry to go back, and they all smiled knowingly.

Now that the mission of Jane and Mrs. Weston to come to the jewelry store has been completed, even Mr. Hunter has had an unexpected harvest, so he walked back happily at this time.

Mr. Darcy was obliged to remain here for two more days, as he had unfinished business at Birmingham.He originally wanted to ask Mr. Weston to wait two days in Birmingham, set off with them the day after tomorrow, play while driving, and then live directly at Pemberley Manor, but Mr. Weston thought that his wife and Jane were the first The first time I came to Derbyshire, I needed a good sightseeing, and Mr. Darcy and his friends were already regular visitors to Pemberley Manor. Naturally, they had visited Derbyshire all over, so it was inconvenient to go on the road together, and because they thought that although Mr. Darcy and Jane still Mr. Hunter is an old acquaintance, but he just met himself, so he firmly declined Mr. Darcy's proposal.Mr. Darcy made the next best thing, and begged to visit Mr. Weston and his party when he returned to Pemberley Park the day after tomorrow.

There is nothing inappropriate about this, and it is really embarrassing for Mr. Weston and his party to bring it up by someone of Mr. Darcy's status.Mr. Weston, of course, agreed to this proposal, and said that it happened to be on that day that he had planned to stay at the Langton Hotel, which was less than five miles from Pemberley Park, and the day of the visit was fixed.

Mr. Darcy and Mr. Hunter did not leave until they saw Mrs. Weston and Jane where they were lodging.At the time of farewell, Mr. Hunt said to the crowd: "I have just invited Darcy and Bingley to my wedding. Darcy has already agreed! I am leaving you and going to London, but I believe we will soon See you again in Longborn. Have a nice trip tomorrow!"
