[Pride and Prejudice] Crossing into Elizabeth

Mr. Darcy sat down beside his sister, so that he was face to face with Elizabeth.

Taking this opportunity, Mr. Darcy set his eyes on Elizabeth as if inadvertently.When he first met Elizabeth, Mr. Darcy did not pay much attention to her, but was impressed by her sister's rudeness.

Mr. Darcy carefully looked at Elizabeth, who was opposite, and he found that Elizabeth was a beautiful lady, especially her pair of black eyes, which were particularly charming.But the most charming thing is the expression in her eyes, clear and pleasant, very pleasing.

Elizabeth, noticing Mr. Darcy's gaze, gave him a polite smile.

Mr. Darcy seized this opportunity and said to Elizabeth: "Miss Elizabeth, it is a great honor to invite you to Pemberley as a guest. I very much hope that you will have a good time during your visit to Pemberley. If you feel any inconvenience, please do let me know. Or Georgiana, my sister and I will be at your service."

When Miss Darcy saw her brother talking about herself, although she was naturally shy and not used to talking to people she didn't know well, she nodded quickly and said, "That's right."

Elizabeth smiled. She remembered the conversation she had overheard between Mr. Darcy and Mrs. Catherine about their family. Like Mrs. Catherine, Mr. Darcy had a very low opinion of their family, but Elizabeth must now admit their cultivation It is Gao, although people look down on them very much in their hearts, but they will not let the guests be neglected because of this, and try their best to make people feel at home.

Elizabeth said: "I have a good time here, thank you for your concern, but I really don't have any inconvenience in Pemberley."

Mr. Darcy smiled and said, "If you need anything, please let me know immediately."

Elizabeth smiled and said: "Mr. Darcy, you are too kind."

Miss Anne looked at the two of them smiling and talking, her face became more and more gloomy.

Miss Darcy was sitting next to Miss Anne. Seeing that her cousin had been silent all this time, she leaned over and asked her in a low voice, "Annie, why are you silent? I don't think you are very happy today. Do you have any questions?" on your mind?"

Miss Anne glanced at Georgiana, and Georgiana looked at her with great concern. She was the only one in the car who cared so much about her, and she would not be disgusted with her. Miss Anne glanced at Mr. Darcy again, with a smile on his face. Slightly, looking at Miss Bennet opposite, Miss Anne felt very uncomfortable. Mr. Darcy had never looked at her with such a look, and never cared for her with such a tone. When she was a teenager, she felt Cousin was very kind to her. At that time, her mother secretly told her that the two of them would get married in the future. Since she was a teenager, she knew that she would be the future Mrs. Darcy, the wife of her cousin. , she also from

I don't feel disgusted at all. She always thought that marrying her cousin was a matter of course. Her mother and aunt had already settled this matter. Even her cousin Georgiana, who was seven or eight years younger than her, knew about it. In this matter, everyone thinks that they will get married sooner or later, but at some point, Mr. Darcy gradually became indifferent to her. When he was young, he still cared about her like an older brother, but since a long They had been estranged from the beginning before, he never talked to her much, and his eyes never stayed on her too much, she was no longer like his sister, but just his aunt's daughter.

Anne has never told her mother about these things, in fact she has never told anyone, her feelings and self-esteem do not allow her to say this to others, she has always kept her cousin's indifference in her heart, and Anne was vague She knew that her cousin probably didn't want her to be his wife. As time went by, it became more and more clear to her that Mr. Darcy would not marry her, and he would not propose to her. .But her mother never gave up, and her mother insisted that she be Mrs. Darcy.

Miss Darcy approached Miss Anne, and Miss Darcy asked, "What's the matter with you, Anne?"

Miss Anne pulled the corner of her mouth reluctantly, and whispered to Georgiana, "It's all right."

Mrs. Catherine was very happy to see her daughter and niece doing so well. She knew that Darcy always loved his sister the most, so she deliberately used Georgiana to draw Darcy and Anne closer. After thinking about it, Mrs. Catherine soon Said to Mr. Darcy: "Darcy, look how good Anne and Georgiana are. It's rare to see them as good as the two of them. Ah, I thought of an idea. When I arrive at the store in a while, I want to pull some materials. Wouldn't it be fun to make an identical dress for Anne and Georgiana, and let the tailor make it quickly, and let them both wear it on Christmas Day?" Lady Catherine looked at her daughter and niece, "You two

What do you think? "

Miss Darcy thought it was quite interesting, so she looked at her cousin with a smile and asked her, "Annie, what do you think?"

Miss Anne didn't like the idea at all, she knew what her mother was up to, and Anne felt embarrassed, as if she insisted on clinging to Mr Darcy. Miss Anne opened her mouth to refuse, but her mother, Lady Catherine, didn't tell her. Opportunity, and immediately said loudly: "Georgiana likes this idea, that's great, we'll do it like this, and when we get to the store in a while, I'll choose carefully for you two to see which material looks good on both of you, The last time Anne saw two Miss Pogues wearing exactly the same dress, she regretted that she had no sisters and could not dress like this, but Georgiana, you know that Anne has always regarded you as her own sister, you Anne is very happy to be willing to do this, by the way, Miss Elizabeth, you can pick whatever you like in a while, and it will be my account, you are Darcy's guest, and you are my guest, so don't be polite."

Elizabeth just wanted to decline, how could she let Lady Catherine pay the bill.

But Miss Anne suddenly said: "Mom, let Miss Elizabeth join us and make skirts from the same material, otherwise Georgiana and I will be boring." Miss Anne knew that her mother would definitely object to her proposal. , immediately said to Georgiana: "Georgiana, surely you will not object?"

Miss Darcy is by nature the last person to refuse others, and she can't refuse, otherwise Miss Bennet would be too embarrassed, and she had a good impression of Miss Bennet, so Georgiana said: "Okay, Bennet It would be better if Miss Nate would."

Madam Catherine originally wanted to object, but she changed her mind, Anne would definitely not be willing if it wasn't what Anne wanted, so she might as well do as she wanted. Madam Catherine made up her mind, and soon Said: "In that case, Miss Elizabeth, I don't think you would mind?"

Elizabeth didn't expect that the topic would suddenly turn to her, and she couldn't help but froze for a moment.

Lady Catherine thought she had no objection, and besides, she could not imagine that Elizabeth would have any objection, so Lady Catherine said in a decided tone: "I will choose the cloth for you three in a moment, Darcy, and when the time comes The opinions of the three young ladies must be different, and when the time comes, you can give them advice, sometimes when women have differences of opinion, only a man can settle the dispute."

Mr. Darcy took his eyes away from Elizabeth, and said to his aunt: "Aunt, when they disagree, I think it is best to let the young ladies make up their own minds. In any case, I can't interfere, no matter what I agree with." The opinion of this young lady will always offend the other two."

Elizabeth wanted to wear exactly the same dress as the other two ladies. This matter was decided inexplicably. Elizabeth missed the best time to express her disapproval, and it was not easy to object to this matter.

Afterwards, few people in the carriage spoke. Miss Anne's face was still gloomy, and Lady Catherine fell silent. Georgiana always felt that the atmosphere was weird. Although she didn't know what was going on, she didn't dare to speak, Elizabeth. After calming down and pondering for a while, it is easy to see through Mrs. Catherine's mind, but it is difficult to guess Miss Anne's mind.

The carriage continued to drive in silence for a while, and then the outside gradually became lively, with the "da da" sound of other carriages and human voices.

The coachman slowed down the carriage, and he asked outside: "Mr. Darcy, we have reached Grangechurch Street, do you want to go on?"

Mr. Darcy asked Mrs. Catherine: "Auntie, shall we get off now, or go directly to the shop in the carriage?"

Mrs. Catherine opened the curtain on the window and took a look. This is a small trade center. There are many small vendors outside who have set up their stalls to do business. There are toys that children like, and there are small and exquisite ones that girls like. Through the window opened by Mrs. Catherine, Elizabeth also saw the outside.Since Elizabeth traveled to this world, she has been to many stores. Among other things, when Jane got married, Elizabeth followed her to the store, helping Jane pull fabrics to make clothes, wedding dresses, and choose jewelry.But she has never been to a lively market like this before, Elizabeth saw the

There are many exquisite gadgets, all belonging to the early nineteenth century, full of classical and literary atmosphere, Elizabeth really wanted to go down and have a look.

But this was nothing unusual to Lady Catherine, she put the curtain aside, and Elizabeth heard Lady Catherine say to Mr Darcy: "Darcy, let the coachman pull the carriage into the shop, there is nothing to see here."

Elizabeth's face showed disappointment unconsciously, but as a guest, she could only listen to other people's arrangements.

Mr. Darcy kept paying attention to Elizabeth. He knew that Elizabeth wanted to go down and have a look, so he said, "Auntie, there is a shop not far ahead. There are a lot of people here, and the carriage can't go fast. Why don't we get off here."

Mrs. Catherine thought for a while, and then said, "Okay then, after getting off the car, you and Anne will walk next to each other. She is not in good health, so you should pay more attention to her so that she doesn't get caught in the wind." He took a look at the thick cloak she was wearing.

Mr. Darcy would have liked to talk to Elizabeth more, but Lady Catherine asked him to do so, and he had to agree.

But Miss Anne is really tired of her mother's scheming. Since she realized that Mr. Darcy has no idea about her, she wishes to leave here immediately to avoid embarrassment, but the mother just refuses to give up. Miss Anne's face is very gloomy. After she finished, she said nothing, but when she got out of the carriage, she put her cousin Georgiana on one arm and Elizabeth on the other. There were people on Miss Anne's left and right, and there was no room for Mr. Darcy at all.
