[Pride and Prejudice] Crossing into Elizabeth

Miss Anne was surrounded by people, and there was no room for Mr. Darcy at all.

Lady Catherine was inside the carriage, so she was the last one to get off the carriage. When she got out of the carriage, Miss Anne had already held the arms of Elizabeth and Georgiana. Therefore, although Lady Catherine was not happy that her daughter did not obey her arrangement, she also No choice but to follow her.

But Mrs. Catherine wanted to go back and have a good talk with Anne. She had to let Anne know that she had a way to make her Darcy's wife, and after Anne became Darcy's wife, she would be happy.

After Mr. Darcy helped Mrs. Catherine out of the carriage, he turned around and saw his cousin Anne holding the arms of the other two ladies. Mrs. Catherine suggested that Anne and Georgiana should have the same dress when they were in the carriage. , but Anne involved Elizabeth. At that time, Mr. Darcy understood the meaning of his cousin a little bit. Now that Anne quietly destroyed Mrs. Catherine's plan, Mr. Darcy knew better. If Anne did this, Darcy On the one hand, the husband breathed a sigh of relief, but on the other hand, he felt a little guilty towards her.

Mrs. Catherine couldn't create opportunities for her daughter for the time being, so she took Mr. Darcy's arm herself, and they let the ladies walk in front, and they followed behind.

Elizabeth knew from the moment Miss Anne quietly took her arm that Miss Anne must be at odds with her mother, Lady Catherine, and Elizabeth, for her own part, did not wish to be led by Miss Anne. , Miss Anne has been sullen, making people around her very uncomfortable, Elizabeth would rather be alone, so that on the one hand, she doesn't have to feel Miss Anne's bad mood, and on the other hand, she can go to any stall she thinks of.

But now, Miss Anne just walked forward without saying a word, and Elizabeth could only follow her. Elizabeth saw that there were many exquisite things she couldn't name, which were simple and interesting, and Elizabeth really wanted to stop. Look, Miss Darcy later said that she wanted to go to a nearby shop to see the painting paper and paints inside, so everyone went to the shop Miss Darcy said, and Elizabeth took the opportunity to say: "I won't go in, I'm sorry I don’t know anything about painting, I’d better go to another place to have a look, I won’t go far, just look nearby, I’ll come to you later.”

After breaking up, Elizabeth happily walked around the nearby small stalls. There were many selling dolls and toy cars. Of course, Elizabeth would not be interested in these things, but some small things, like made of wood Dolls, carved lifelike, and very classical beading, Elizabeth liked it very much. What surprised Elizabeth the most was that she saw a puzzle. She never knew that there were puzzles in Britain in the early [-]th century.

When Elizabeth was looking at these things, she suddenly saw Mr. Darcy walking towards her. Mr. Darcy quickly walked up to her and said, "Miss Elizabeth, I'm worried that you are not familiar with this place. Besides, you are alone, everyone Don't worry, just let me come and have a look."

Mr. Darcy was only half-truthful in this, for Lady Catherine said a few words about leaving Miss Elizabeth alone, and then Darcy took the opportunity to say that she was out with Elizabeth.

Elizabeth wanted to go around again, but she couldn't make the owner wait for her, so she said to Mr. Darcy: "Then wait a moment." Then she turned to the stall owner and said: "Please put the Wrap up this wooden doll, this string of beads, and these jigsaw puzzles."

The stall owner quickly packed up the things. Elizabeth took the things and paid the bill, and planned to go back with Mr. Darcy. Unexpectedly, Mr. Darcy did not move. Mr. Darcy asked her: "Miss Elizabeth, Do you still want to walk around here? Georgiana is very picky about drawing paper and paints. It always takes a long time to buy these things. If you want to continue to look, just go, it will not delay Everyone's time, you can rest assured."

When Elizabeth heard it, it was the rhythm of Mr. Darcy inviting him to go shopping.

What are you waiting for, let's go.

Elizabeth was walking and chatting with Mr. Darcy, and Mr. Darcy asked her: "You seem to like these gadgets very much, Miss Elizabeth?"

Elizabeth said: "Oh, I have liked these things since I was a child. Every time I see them, I can't help but buy some back. In fact, I don't just like these gadgets. I also like the feeling of shopping, but you must not understand, Darcy. Sir? I think you belong to the kind of people who just go straight to the destination when they want to buy something, and never waste time."

Mr. Darcy smiled, and he nodded to show that Elizabeth had guessed right, and he said: "You girls like shopping, and Georgiana likes it too, but she has no sisters, and she has never been accompanied by anyone, Miss Elizabeth. , while you are visiting at Pemberley, you will be able to keep Georgiana company, and I can see that Georgiana likes you very much."

Elizabeth didn't know if Mr. Darcy was speaking politely, but Elizabeth was flattered that Mr. Darcy said that his sister liked her. Elizabeth felt a little crazy, but she heard Mr. Darcy say that Miss Darcy liked her , There is a feeling similar to ecstasy in my heart.

After Mr. Darcy finished speaking, he waited for Elizabeth to speak, and Elizabeth quickly responded, "Miss Darcy is very cute, and I like her very much."

Mr. Darcy smiled and said: "Miss Elizabeth, do you have anything else you want to buy? Actually, I wanted to say it when you paid the money just now, but I didn't say it because I was afraid it would be too presumptuous. It's like this. Mrs. Reynolds will come here to pay the bill, so if you like something and you don’t have to pay for it, I’ll tell Mrs. Reynolds and let her pay the bill.”

Elizabeth blushed. Why did Mrs. Reynolds pay the bill?Hadn't Mrs. Reynolds paid for Mr. Darcy?Doesn't that mean that she buys something and asks Mr. Darcy to pay for it?

The more Elizabeth thought about it, the more she blushed. She didn't know how to answer Mr. Darcy, and even if she really wanted to buy something, she didn't dare to buy it now.

Mr. Darcy thought Elizabeth's blushing was lovely, and that she was at ease and pleasant with her, as he had never felt before with other people.

Elizabeth felt that her face was hot, and she couldn't walk alone with Mr. Darcy in such a state, so she blushed and said, "Mr. Darcy, let's go back quickly. I think Miss Darcy should have finished the election. Don't let me go." They're waiting for us."

Mr. Darcy still asked Elizabeth to go around more, and promised that Georgiana would not finish choosing things so quickly, but Elizabeth refused to stay any longer, so Mr. Darcy had to go to the store where Georgiana and the others went together with Elizabeth. .

As soon as they entered the store, Mrs. Catherine said, "Where have you been? I looked out just now, but I couldn't find you. I just wanted the coachman to look for you. Fortunately, you are back. Let me tell you You shouldn't go away separately, if you can't find someone, it will be very troublesome."

Then, Lady Catherine turned her head to Miss Darcy and said, "My dear, have you finished the selection? We have been waiting for a long time."

Miss Darcy was used to picking things for painting slowly, but she couldn't stand her aunt's urging her, so Miss Darcy chose some at random, and bought some of almost every kind of painting paper and paint. You can choose well after you go back.

Of course, the Darcy family was not short of this little money. Lady Catherine didn't know anything about painting, and she didn't care what Georgiana bought and how much she bought. The things were packed for Miss Darcy, and they were sent to the door with great enthusiasm, and they were asked to come again when they arrived.

After they came out of the store, they continued to walk forward, and there were many shops selling fabrics not far ahead.The shops here are well decorated and the fabrics look trendy.

Elizabeth looked at every house very well. If she had come with Jane, Elizabeth would definitely have a good time shopping.

Miss Anne wanted to go back quickly, thinking of buying and leaving early, so she went straight into one of the stores. The merchants here all knew Mr. Darcy's family. When they saw them coming, they knew that they were big customers, smiling He greeted them with all faces.

This store not only has fabrics, but also ready-made clothes. It is dedicated to showing customers what the fabrics look like after they are made into clothes. However, most of the ready-made clothes are made of very good fabrics, in order to sell expensive fabrics. , the price is high and the profit is naturally large.

Madam Catherine naturally only looked at the best fabrics. She looked carefully and finally settled on two pieces of cloth. One was light yellow and the other was rose red with different patterns. They were both beautiful. Of course, all the materials were made into clothes. Mrs. Catherine asked the shopkeeper to take out two pieces of clothing for several young ladies to have a look at. Mrs. Catherine said: "You young people should wear some bright colors. I think these two The color is very nice," she said, and looking at her daughter and niece, she said to Georgiana, "Georgiana, try on these two dresses in a moment, and let us see which is the prettier."

In fact, Mrs. Catherine wanted her daughter to try one, but Anne is not happy now, and she doesn't know if she will listen to her. Mrs. Catherine didn't want to get angry with her daughter because of such a trivial matter, so she simply asked her niece to try it all. up.

Miss Anne was already a little tired, but she was even more tired when she was unhappy, so she sat down on the sofa.

Miss Darcy said to Lady Catherine: "Aunt, Miss Bennet and I should try on one." She knew that Anne was not happy, so she didn't mention the matter of letting Anne try on clothes.

Mr. Darcy also felt that Lady Catherine's arrangement was too impolite to Miss Elizabeth, and said: "Georgiana is right, let her and Miss Elizabeth try one, and Anne can choose whichever she thinks is more beautiful."

When Elizabeth heard Mr. Darcy's voice now, her mind was dizzy and her face was hot. Then she heard Mrs. Catherine say something, and she was invited into the dressing room by the shopkeeper.

This shop is very spacious, and the dressing room is also large. Elizabeth calmed down for a while after entering, and the heat on her face faded away, but she still murmured in her heart, why is she acting like a nympho now.Elizabeth told herself strongly in her heart that Mr. Darcy was just doing his master's favor, and had no idea about her personally.

Elizabeth tapped her head, ordering herself to be sober and not to think about it.
