After Elizabeth returned to her room, she stayed by herself for a while. The scenes of going out with Mr. Darcy and the others appeared in front of her eyes one after another. Elizabeth didn't deliberately want to recall anything, but her mind couldn't calm down for a moment. There are many pictures of Mr. Darcy's smiling face and what he said. They walked together in the Derbyshire market. Of course, it's not just Mr. Darcy, but also Catherine, mother and daughter, and Miss Darcy. They just pass by, or appear in the background of Elizabeth's mind.

In fact, many times I didn't feel happy at that time, but now I think about it, I feel happy.

And the look Mr. Darcy looked at before going upstairs, Elizabeth also felt a feeling of blood flowing faster when she thought of it.

Elizabeth stayed quietly in the room for a while, but her mind was filled with everything of today, and she couldn't calm down at all. Elizabeth got up and brought a mirror. She looked at herself in the mirror carefully. The mirror Her eyes are shining, her cheeks are flushed, and her lips are also red, like strawberries just picked.

Elizabeth put the mirror aside and wailed in her heart, this is the rhythm of unrequited love.

She seemed to be in love with Mr. Darcy.

Elizabeth covered her face and lay powerlessly on the bed. Suddenly the door was knocked a few times. Jane said from outside, "Lizzie, are you in? May I come in?"

Elizabeth hurriedly sat up, she let Jane in, and after Jane came in, she sat down beside her on the bed, Elizabeth asked her: "Jane, what's the matter?"

Jane nodded, "I have something to discuss with you, it's about Christmas..." Jane stopped suddenly in the middle of speaking, she tilted her head slightly, her body moved a little closer, her gentle eyes carefully Looking carefully at Elizabeth's face, Elizabeth asked with some guilt: "Jane, what are you looking at?"

Jane frowned slightly, and she said, "Lizzie, are you freezing outside? Your face is so red."

Elizabeth faltered and said: "Well, it's okay, it seems to be a little bit cold, but it's okay, I don't feel uncomfortable, maybe it's because the wind is strong outside, and I was blown by the wind."

Although Elizabeth said that she didn't feel uncomfortable, Jane was worried, so she stretched out her hand to explore Elizabeth's face. She found that Elizabeth's face was indeed a little hot, and her face was very red, which looked like she had a fever. , Jane yelled "Oops", and she said hurriedly: "Lizzie, you seem to have a fever, try it and see that the temperature on your forehead has risen."

As Jane spoke, she stood up and walked out in a hurry, saying, "I have to tell Bingley to ask him to ask a doctor to come and have a look."

Elizabeth quickly grabbed Jane, "Jane, don't go to find someone, I need a doctor, I really don't feel uncomfortable."

Jane was held back by her sister and couldn't go out to find someone for a while, but she still insisted on finding a doctor. She said to Elizabeth: "Elizabeth, you haven't completely burned up yet, so you don't feel sick now. If you really start It's bad to have a fever, we must find a doctor."

No matter what, Elizabeth could not let Jane go to see a doctor. While holding Jane and not letting her go, she analyzed to her: "Dear Jane, I am really fine. We are guests at someone's house, so we can trouble him as little as possible. Come on, Jane, I know you are doing it for my own good, but I really don’t feel sick. How about it, don’t we bring the medicine for fever? I’ll take it as a precaution, take some medicine first, to be honest Jane, if you see me tomorrow morning you will not think that I need a doctor."

In order to coax Jane, Elizabeth thought of such a compromise. Although Jane still thought it best to ask a doctor to see Elizabeth, first Elizabeth insisted that she was not feeling sick, and second, they were guests in other people's homes. It's true that we shouldn't bother them too much. Jane thought about it, and felt that it was feasible for Elizabeth to take some medicine first, so she agreed.

Jane said: "Then I'll go and find out the medicine I need to take for fever, and you take some first."

The medicine was placed in Jane and Bingley's room, and Jane went back to her room, and quickly found the medicine and brought it over.

Elizabeth said that she wanted to take medicine, but in fact it was just to delay Jane from going to the doctor. She took it with a smile and put it on the bedside.

Jane urged her to take medicine quickly and pour water for her, Elizabeth hurriedly stopped her, Elizabeth said: "Oh, Jane, I'm a little hungry, and it happens to be dinner time, I'd better eat before taking medicine, Otherwise, it would be too disgusting."

As soon as Jane thought about it, she told Elizabeth to remember to take medicine after eating.

Elizabeth smiled to reassure Jane. She wanted to get rid of this topic, so she asked Jane: "Didn't you just say that you have something to discuss with me? About Christmas?"

Then Jane remembered the original intention of coming to find Elizabeth, and Jane quickly said: "That's right, Christmas is coming soon, I just thought about buying a gift for Bingley's sister and sister, Lydia and I agreed I'm going to the shop to-morrow, but I don't know what to get for Caroline and Louisa, Lizzie, give me some advice."

"Oh, that's the case," Elizabeth replied, but an idea came to her mind. Elizabeth thought why not give Miss Darcy a Christmas present too. Didn't Mr. Darcy pay her today? Elizabeth thought So she could take this opportunity to show something to Miss Darcy, which is considered polite. The more Elizabeth thought about it, the more she felt that this idea was very good. Elizabeth made up her mind, and she immediately gave Catherine the dress proposal. Jane said, Elizabeth went on to say: "Dear Jane, let's give Miss Darcy a gift, what do you think?"

"It should be done," said Jane. She thought for a while and added, "You can't leave Miss Anne behind. You must choose a gift for her."

Elizabeth felt that her sister was very thoughtful, and she wondered how she could only remember Miss Darcy just now. The reason was obvious. Elizabeth felt blushed and didn't answer her sister's words for a moment.

Jane said quickly again: "Lizzie, what do you think we're giving them?"

Like Jane, Elizabeth didn't know what they all liked, but the first gift should always be given safely. Elizabeth suggested giving them jewelry. She said: "I dare say that no one hates things like necklaces and pins. Too expensive, too expensive is not good, delicate and beautiful is fine, what do you think?"

Jane had no objection, and they decided to send jewelry to these young ladies. Jane said: "Then we will go to the store to buy tomorrow, Lizzie, you must remember to take your medicine, if you are sick, we will not be able to go out. La."

Elizabeth didn't expect that Jane was still thinking about letting her take the medicine. Elizabeth agreed with her mouth, thinking that she would throw away two pills when she came back later, so as not to be discovered by Jane.

The two sisters discussed for a while, and soon it was dinner time, and they went to the dining room. Almost everyone had arrived at the dining room. The well-trained servants brought plates of delicacies to the table, and Elizabeth and Jane sat at the table. After they got down, Miss Bingley also came as soon as they were seated. Miss Bingley came back later, and there were people on both sides of Miss Darcy, so Miss Bingley could not sit with Miss Darcy.

But that did not hinder Miss Bingley, who, as soon as she sat down opposite Miss Darcy, asked her across the table: "My dear Georgiana, have you had a good time going out? I dare say you must have had a good time." , forget about me, the poor man."

Miss Darcy couldn't bear such words the most. She blushed with anxiety, but she didn't know how to answer.

Miss Bingley said, laughing, "Why, I was teasing you, Georgiana dear, I am more than glad to know you are enjoying yourself, but you are very mean to leave me here so long."

Miss Darcy said something embarrassingly, but Elizabeth didn't hear it. She guessed that she was not the only one who couldn't hear what Miss Darcy said. Miss Darcy's voice was too low. Elizabeth found it better when there were few people, but Miss Darcy was afraid to speak to the crowd when there were many people.

When everything was ready, Mr. Darcy said it was time to start.

Elizabeth felt a little strange because Lady Catherine had not arrived yet.

Lydia also noticed, and she asked loudly without hesitation, "Why didn't Lady Catherine come? Miss Anne, why didn't you come with Lady Catherine?"

Miss Anne looked at Lydia coldly. She looked in a bad mood, worse than what Elizabeth saw in the carriage. Glancing at Lydia, she quickly looked away. Miss Anne stared at the tableware in her hand. Elizabeth thought she would not answer Lydia's question, but Miss Anne answered, her voice Small and cold, she said slowly: "My mother is not feeling well, so she won't come down to eat."

Elizabeth had long seen that Catherine's mother and daughter had conflicts, so she knew that Miss Anne's claim that Mrs. Catherine was not in good health was just an excuse, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that Miss Anne was in a bad mood and didn't want to talk to anyone, but Lydia didn't seem to care about anything. Yes, and said carelessly: "Could it be that I went out today and got cold? Oh, it's a good thing I didn't go with you. I hate being sick."

Jane was a little uneasy, so she whispered to Lydia: "You can eat quietly."

Elizabeth saw Miss Bingley and Mrs. Hurst look at each other contemptuously. Mr. Bingley felt ashamed and didn't dare to look up. He just ate in silence. Miss Anne didn't even bother to talk to this impolite wild girl. , without saying a word, Mr. Darcy glanced at Lydia, frowned slightly, but said nothing.

No one said anything, and in the silence, everything was expressed vividly and vividly.

Elizabeth suddenly lost her appetite.

But she couldn't stop eating. Elizabeth knew that if she didn't eat, Jane would be worried, so she ate some. After everyone finished eating, Elizabeth didn't go to the living room with them. Back to my room.

After going back, it may be because she didn't have a good dinner and she was in a bad mood. Elizabeth really felt a little uncomfortable.

Elizabeth didn't care either, she thought it would be good to sleep, but she suddenly had a fever in the middle of the night.
