Pride and Prejudice Becoming Jane Bennet

Considering that winter is coming, Jane and Mr. Darcy's wedding date is set in March next year. Before that, they have enough time to prepare the wedding arrangements and write letters to their friends. On the latter matter, What worries Jane the most is the reaction of Mr. Darcy's relatives.

Mr. Darcy wrote to his sister Georgiana after the relationship was established - Georgiana had gone back to the girls' school and did not attend the wedding.Under the influence of her brother, she had been close to Jane long before she met Jane, and forged a deep friendship with Jane when she was at Pemberley Manor, but because Jane left suddenly at that time, she was forced to break off Now that she has received a letter from her brother, knowing that her brother has finally got his wish, and that the friendship between herself and Jane can continue, and even become closer, she is naturally overjoyed. He expressed his joy and blessing for knowing the news with enthusiasm, and asked Jane to establish a letter contact with her immediately, and Jane naturally agreed.

Georgiana's reply was followed by Colonel Fitzwilliam's.He was astonished at the sudden engagement of his cousin to Jane, for he had not seen the slightest hint of it between the two when he was at Rosings.And since he met Jane in Rosings, he has had a strong affection for her, but because of his and Jane's identities, he has been hesitant to reveal his feelings.After he left Rosings, he returned home and inquired about his parents' opinion on his desire to marry a lady who was lower than himself and did not have much dowry. The answer he got was not satisfactory, so he was quite sad. After a period of time, he didn't dare to go any further with the relationship between the two.At this moment, he heard that his cousin put aside his worldly views and wanted to spend his whole life with the lady he admired. On the one hand, he admired and envied Mr. Darcy for being able to do whatever he wanted, on the other hand, he was also deeply concerned about the fate he was destined to be with. Jane regretted missing it, but he did not show his complicated psychology in the letter back to Mr. Darcy, but sincerely blessed the newly engaged lovers.

As for Lady Catherine, Mr. Darcy and Jane wrote letters to Mrs. and Miss respectively, and received their replies almost at the same time.The replies from the mother and daughter were almost entirely worlds apart.Miss Anne de Bauer's reply was not long, even very brief, but every word and every sentence expressed her joy after receiving the news. At the end of the letter, she also asked Jane if she came again. If you are in London, you must inform her that she just arrived in the city a few days ago, and the two of them can go to the art exhibition together.

Compared with Mademoiselle de Bourgh's letter, her mother's reply gave the opposite impression.Her reply was very lengthy, listing the unfavorable factors of Mr. Darcy and Jane's marriage, saying that Mr. Darcy was so dazzled by Jane's beauty that he wanted to marry such a lowly family regardless of his status. Although her behavior is quite decent, her identity is destined not to be accepted by his original social circle, saying that the offspring of the two will also be doomed to be excluded by the upper class, and that Mr. Darcy wants to marry Jane to shame his family ...There is not a trace of blessing expressed in the whole letter, it is all questioning and not optimistic about the relationship between the two.

Although Mr. Darcy had expected that his aunt would not easily accept his decision, he was still disappointed when he saw her reply. On the other hand, he couldn't help being surprised by the deep friendship between his cousin and Jane. Especially after Jane shared the letter she wrote with herself.

"I've thought about it all these years, and I've never found out what Anne thinks," Mr. Darcy said to Jane, holding the letter, as they were walking in the garden near Longbourn. The relationship between Georgiana and me and Fitzwilliam was very good, but as we got older, Lady Catherine proposed a marriage contract between her and me, and the relationship between her and Georgiana and me became weaker. gone."

"Miss Anne's inner feelings are sensitive and delicate," Jane said, "Once you get close, you shouldn't stay away."

"I think you are right," said Mr. Darcy, "that she has a stronger friendship with you than she has with me."

"You sound like you're jealous?" Jane pursed her lips, and looked at Mr. Darcy walking beside her with some amusement.

"Indeed," said Mr. Darcy, "you are always easy to like."

He thought of his cousin, although the letter he wrote back to him now was full of blessings, but he knew that if it wasn't for his intervention, he would be asked to consider his parents' concern for the relationship between him and Jane. In my opinion, I am afraid that my cousin had already proposed to Jane driven by emotion when he was in Rosings.

"Your words don't work on Lady Catherine." Jane didn't know what happened between Mr. Darcy and Colonel Fitzwilliam in private, so she smiled and said.

After a pause, she continued, "But I think it's reasonable for Mrs. Catherine not to like me. What she wrote in her letter may happen to us in the future."

Mr. Darcy smiled. Although he was disappointed by the attitude expressed by Mrs. Catherine in the letter, he was not angry, because what she listed in the letter was also the earliest time he used to persuade himself to suppress his opposition to The reason for Jane's affection.

"Then we will face it together." Mr. Darcy said, "I love you beyond family status and status. Under the guidance of my reason, I still admire you."

Jane stared at Mr. Darcy for a few seconds, and smiled. She knew what Mr. Darcy meant. She used to worry that Mr. Darcy's feelings for her were just a whim, and she proposed to her because emotions overwhelmed her reason. Now, this The husband standing in front of him assured himself once again that he had thought clearly about the relationship between the two of them and what might happen in the future. Under such circumstances, he still did not regret his decision and decided to continue to love her.
