[Pride and Prejudice] Crossing into Elizabeth

Mrs. Bennet stopped, she blinked her eyes, thought for a moment in doubt, and suddenly said "Oh", Mrs. Bennet asked Jane: "What was I talking about just now? When you interrupted me just now, I would Forget what I was saying," murmured Mrs. Bennet, thinking back: "I remember I had a lot to say..."

Afraid that she would suddenly remember it, Jane would continue the topic just now, and hastily brought up another matter: "Mom, I asked someone to bring back some lace from London last time. You haven't seen it yet, or you and I Go up and have a look, see if you like it?"

Mrs. Bennet has no objection to this matter. Lace has been her favorite for 30 years since she started to dress herself up when she was a teenager. When it comes to lace, Mrs. Bennet can talk endlessly. One day, as soon as Jane asked Mrs. Bennet to go upstairs with her to look at the lace, Mrs. Bennet stood up and walked upstairs with Jane without saying a word.

Just when she was walking on the stairs, Mrs. Bennet seemed to suddenly remember something. Elizabeth heard her "Oh", and then said to Jane: "Lace! Lydia! I remembered what I was going to say just now , Lydia is exactly the same as me. She also likes lace, but she is too young to know how to choose. I have seen all the lace she bought from Derbyshire. The color is okay, but the material , it will be broken after washing, it is not durable at all..."

Mrs. Bennet's voice gradually died down. After Mrs. Bennet and Jane went upstairs, only Elizabeth, Mr. Darcy, Mr. Bingley and a maid were left in the drawing room.

Without Mrs. Bennet's voice, the living room became much quieter.

Mr. Bingley suddenly felt a little awkward, and felt that it was superfluous for him to stay here. These days Darcy lived in his house, and he went to Longbourn again and again. Darcy's thoughts on Elizabeth and Darcy's plans, No matter how dull he was, he understood.

It probably took a long time for Mrs. Bennet and Jane to choose lace upstairs. After thinking about it, Mr. Bingley said to the maid: "I don't need you here for the time being. Go and see if there is anything else that needs help."

The maid left quickly, and Mr. Bingley said as if he suddenly remembered something, "I still haven't finished reading the book," Mr. Bingley said, "it's a detective novel. I've read half of it. Don't read it." I can't fall asleep after reading it, I'll go to the study right now, you guys chat first."

As he spoke, he quickly walked outside.

In this way, Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy were left alone in the drawing-room.

Elizabeth found that the living room, where they were alone, was unusually quiet. Mr. Darcy was silent for a moment, and he looked at her quickly again, as if he had something to say.

Elizabeth tensed up for no reason.

Mr. Darcy opened his mouth slowly, "Miss Elizabeth," he said with a smile, "I have a request that should have been made a long time ago, and it has been delayed until now..."

Elizabeth waited nervously for him to speak.

"Miss Elizabeth, I fell in love with you when I was at Pemberley," said Mr. Darcy, slowly and smiling, "and I want to ask you to marry me and be my wife."

Elizabeth felt as if her heart missed a beat, and her face gradually became hot. Mr. Darcy's eyes fell directly on Elizabeth's face, her beautiful face was slowly dyed crimson, rouge Same.

Mr. Darcy said emotionally: "I have fallen in love with you a long time ago. I think about you every day in Rosings. I keep saying to myself that when the matter is over, I will come to you. That's how I am. Come here, I hope your mood is the same as mine, can you promise me?"

After Elizabeth's initial panic, it seemed that countless happy bubbles were popping up in her heart, but she was a little shy and didn't dare to look into Mr. Darcy's eyes. Elizabeth knew that Mr. Darcy was looking at her. But the more this happened, the more embarrassed she was to look over.

I just thought in my heart, should she agree or agree or agree?

An hour later, Mr. Bingley went downstairs with Mrs. Bennet and Jane. He saw Elizabeth and Darcy sitting in their original seats, having a heart-to-heart conversation. They talked very enthusiastically, and Darcy's eyes Staring straight at Elizabeth, Elizabeth's face was flushed, and her beautiful eyes were full of brilliance. All signs showed that the two had already discussed everything.

Jane did not think as far as Mr. Bingley, and did not guess that Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy were engaged, but she was really happy to see that her sister and Mr. Darcy were going well, and her face was flushed for a while.

Mrs. Bennet didn't notice anything, her mind was still on the lace upstairs, and she was chatting with Jane about the lace as she went downstairs: "...that light green one is pretty, I dare say Lydia's sure to like it, because I do, and if I hadn't gotten to my age, I'd have sewed it on to my dress myself, but the dark green one is pretty good, too, for my age, and I Right away, it's a pity that Lydia and Kitty aren't here, or I'll let the two of them choose by themselves, but Lizzie, "

Mrs. Bennet suddenly called out to Elizabeth: "Why don't you come up? I asked the maid to come down to you and tell you to go up and choose lace, but you are so lucky to ask the maid to come up and tell me you don't want to come up. Please, Lizzie." Miss, what are you busy with? Why are you so awkward as a girl, you don’t do what you are asked to do, and you do what you are not asked to do!”

After Mrs. Bennet spoke, she couldn't help but think of Elizabeth's recent good deeds, and she couldn't help but feel resentment in her words.

Elizabeth was dumbfounded. When did Mrs. Bennet send her maid over to let her choose some lace?She had been with Mr. Darcy just now, and had never been away, and no maid had come to her for word.

In fact, this matter was done by Mr. Bingley. He didn't want the maid to disturb the two downstairs, so he stopped the maid in private. When Mr. Bingley heard Mrs. Bennet ask Elizabeth, he quickly said: "Lizzie Probably no shortage of lace, because I do like to remember she bought a lot in Derbyshire, isn't that right, Lizzie?"

The last sentence was addressed to Elizabeth. Elizabeth quickly realized what was going on, and Elizabeth quickly echoed: "...Yes, Mom, I bought a lot when I was in Derbyshire. .”

Mrs. Bennet felt resentment in her heart when she thought that Elizabeth had been against her recently, so she refused to let her go so easily, and kept chattering, "You are so strange, girl! You still think there are too many laces?" I've never heard of such a thing, it's really weird!"

Elizabeth did not respond to Mrs. Bennet. She glanced at Mr. Darcy sitting beside her. They were still discussing the matter of Pemberley just now, but once everyone came over, it was not convenient for them to talk unscrupulously like before.

Mr. Darcy was looking at her with a slight smile on his face, but he also knew that the current situation was not suitable for continuing the topic just now, so he simply stopped talking and looked at Elizabeth's beautiful face quietly, Also a treat.

Elizabeth felt that the current situation was very awkward. She had just agreed to Mr. Darcy's marriage proposal, but her family didn't know anything about it. She even wanted to talk casually with Mr. Darcy, just like she did before today. Difficult to do.

After a while, the housekeeper's wife came to tell them that lunch was ready, and asked if it would be served now.

Jane asked what Mrs. Bennet meant, and Mrs. Bennet quickly said: "Then let's eat, and you don't have to wait for anyone. Lydia and Kitty have already said that you don't have to wait for them, but they want me to wait." , I won't wait, because God knows when the two of them will come back after going out. I guarantee you that it would be nice to see them both before dark. You can trust me on this matter, they It's about going out to inquire about the officers, and I know this kind of thing better than anyone else."

Jane didn't want Mrs. Bennet to continue talking, so she hurriedly told the housekeeper to let her continue to order, and the food can be served now.

Everyone went to the dining room together, and Elizabeth did not sit adjacent to Mr. Darcy due to a special psychology when they were seated.

During dinner Mr. Bingley said something in which Mr. Collins's name was mentioned.

Mrs. Bennet can't stand hearing this name now. Thinking of where this gentleman is a guest at this moment, which lady is with him, and the possible development of the two of them, Mrs. Bennet's nerves can't stand it. .

As soon as Mr. Bingley finished speaking, Mrs. Bennet said at once: "I beg you not to mention this man's name, Mr. Bingley. The mention of him makes my nerves ache."

"... Oh," Mr. Bingley had just seen Mrs. Bennet's nerve pain, and he was very impressed. He didn't want to make Mrs. Bennet suffer again, and he didn't ask why, why Mr. Collins let Bennet Mrs. Te felt her nerves hurt, so she said kindly, "Don't worry, Mrs. Bennet, I will not mention this gentleman's name again."

"You have such a good heart," Mrs. Bennet had just finished saying to Mr. Bingley, and she herself said of the gentleman whose mention gave her nerves a dull ache. "Unlike that gentleman, our family was so kind to him." , entertain the gentleman with good tea and water, he has lived in our house for so many days, but we have never given him a light meal! We treat him so kindly, and the gentleman repays us like this, alas , I really don't want to say that, but he is really sorry for us, it is simply ungrateful!"

Several other people at the dining table sat there and ate attentively. In order not to arouse Mrs. Bennet's nerve pain, no one wanted to mention that gentleman's name in front of this lady. Mr Collins, only Mrs Bennet herself can speak freely.
