Pride and Prejudice Becoming Jane
Chapter 29
?Through the lush woods in front of the gate, a white house came into view, which is the legendary Rosings Manor. Rosings Manor is indeed as magnificent as Corinth said, even an ordinary A fireplace is not something that an ordinary person can afford casually.
After they entered the reception room, they saw that several people were already sitting inside.After introducing each other, Jane began to look at them carefully. Sitting in the middle was Mrs. De Bourgh. Her face was somewhat similar to Darcy's, and she looked superior. Her daughter is gone, and her daughter is not as energetic as she is at all. She is thin and has a listless expression, as if she has no interest in their visit.
It was not long before Mrs. de Bower began to chat about the daily life of the Collins family. She seemed to want to know everything they did, and told Charlotte how to manage the housework, as if every little thing had to be taken care of. One tube, and Collins always looked for an opportunity to say a few compliments.At first, Jane didn't understand why Mrs. de Bourgh could endure Collins' endless compliments. Now she understood that Mrs. de Bourgh didn't need any advice from others. What she needed was someone who fully agreed with her words and carried them out A man of her command, and Collins was such a man.
After a while, Mrs. de Bower seemed to remember something, so she began to ask Jane about their family situation, how the sisters were, and even what kind of carriage they had.Jane answered one by one without showing any impatience.Later she added another sentence: "Your father's property will be inherited by Collins in the future. This is a good thing for him. By the way, he once said before going to your house that he would give you some compensation, but unfortunately It was he who met the gentle and virtuous Charlotte, and your family also rejected his kindness. But he said that it was because of you that he could marry Charlotte. I have to thank you for this, but I hope you can see him now No regrets after a good life."
Knowing that Collins must have talked nonsense in front of Mrs. de Bourgh after she came back, Jane replied politely: "Madam, I'm the kind of person who won't regret it once I make up my mind, so no matter what I see, I don't regret it. No more regrets, and of course my family won't regret anything." The only regret was not kicking Collins more, Jane thought to herself.
"Really? Missing Collins is a big loss for you. Don't think I'm blunt. In the future, it will be difficult to find someone with better conditions than Collins based on your family situation." Mrs. De Bourgh looked Looking at the daughter next to her, she continued, "Of course my daughter doesn't have to worry about this kind of problem. She has a very good cousin who will become her future husband-in-law. It's just a fact that no one can change." She spoke very bluntly. Bai, just looking straight at Jane.
At this time, Jane knew that Collins must have told about her and Mr. Darcy. Before Jane could say anything, Mrs. de Bourgh began to say again: "Although your family situation is not so good, if you are gentle If you are virtuous, maybe I can introduce you to some good gentlemen. By the way, can you play the piano, sing, or draw pictures?" She said in a haughty tone, as if she had expected that Jian Kong had something extravagant.
"I know all these things, ma'am, and I especially like playing the piano."
"And what about your sisters? How are they?"
"They are also good at everything, but they are proficient in different fields, because our family has hired tutors."
"It seems that your tutors are good." Mrs. de Bower held back the words she wanted to preach, and said with a smile on her face. She gave Collins a look. Collins had belittled several people before. Make her believe it.Now she couldn't find any faults in their sitting posture and manners, and felt uncomfortable.But Collins had said they were great at putting on a show, and she wanted to expose them for what they really were.
At this time their desserts arrived, and everyone stopped talking and ate their own food. Only Collins began to praise each dessert one by one. ?
