[Pride and Prejudice] Crossing into Elizabeth

Mrs. Catherine couldn't imagine that this girl was so uneducated, she looked at her in shock, and then she looked at Jane, then at Elizabeth, as if she didn't even look down on them. Mrs. Catherine perfunctory Lydia, I stopped talking to the three of their sisters.

Mr. Bingley felt very embarrassed. Although he knew how rude Lydia was before, and Lydia had made a fool of himself in front of his own sisters before, but the situation is different now. His good friend and relative of his friend They were all there, and Mr. Bingley was not very comfortable with Lydia embarrassing him in front of so many people.

Mr. Bingley did not speak much after that.

Miss Bingley, on the other hand, talked to Miss Darcy all the time and intimately.

Mr. Darcy gave orders, and the various cakes were promptly brought up.They had traveled a long distance, and after eating their snacks, they were drowsy from the warmth of the room.Mr. Darcy had the room ready early in the morning, and asked the butler to take the guests into the bedroom to rest.

The window of the room tidied up for Elizabeth faces the woods. The branches of the world tree are all withered, but it has a bleak beauty.

The fireplace in the room had been lit a long time ago, and it was very warm. The room was large, beautiful, and comfortable. Elizabeth was indeed a little tired, and she regained her energy after sleeping on the bed for two hours.It gets dark early in December, and it was dark outside when Elizabeth awoke.

After Elizabeth woke up, she wanted to go out, but she was new here, so she didn't want to run around. She wanted to find Jane first. The room between Jane and Mr. Bingley was next to her. Elizabeth knew it, so she walked over When I was there, I found that the door of the Bingley couple's bedroom hadn't been closed properly, it was just ajar.

When Elizabeth was about to knock on the door, she suddenly heard Jane's voice coming through the crack of the door. Jane's voice sounded a little aggrieved, and Elizabeth heard her say: "Lydia didn't mean it, she was spoiled by her mother since she was a child." , it's always been like this, so don't be as knowledgeable as her."

When Elizabeth heard what Jane said, she knew that there must be some unhappiness between the couple.

But Mr. Bingley didn't go too far, and Elizabeth heard him compromise through the door and said: "Okay, let's forget it this time, but when we go to other people's homes in the future, we can't bring Lydia with us. "

Elizabeth walked away silently when she heard this. After all, this is a matter between the husband and wife, and it is inconvenient for her to get involved.

Elizabeth thought for a while, and followed her memory to the place where Mr. Darcy entertained them before. However, her sense of direction had always been bad, and there were many corridors in Pemberley. After walking for a while, Elizabeth gradually felt something was wrong, which was obviously not the case. She wanted to ask a servant about the road the steward led them to, but she didn't meet anyone along the way. When Elizabeth was hesitating to go back, she suddenly heard a voice From far and near came the voice of Lady Catherine, and Elizabeth heard her say:

"...such a rude, uneducated girl! How could you invite such a person as a guest?"

Hearing what she said, Elizabeth knew that Mr. Darcy was also there, and she immediately heard Mr. Darcy answer: "I only invited Bingley and his wife, and later Bingley wrote to ask me if I could bring his wife's two sisters." Bring them together, and I agreed, who knew his sister-in-law would be like this?"

Lady Catherine said disdainfully: "I used to think that Mr. Bingley was a very clever young man. I really didn't expect him to be so stupid, marry such a person, have such lowly relatives, and be so uneducated!"

Mr. Darcy said: "I never imagined that Bingley would be married to such a family. It was a very hasty marriage, but what can you do now that you are married?"

Their voices were indistinct at first, but then became more and more distinct, and Elizabeth, fearful that they would cause embarrassment to her, turned hastily into another corridor.She walked for a while, and the voices of Lady Catherine and Mr. Darcy soon disappeared. Elizabeth took a few more steps. She was already lost, and now they came here in random to avoid Lady Catherine, and now they are completely lost. up.

When Elizabeth was growing her head, she suddenly saw Mrs. Reynolds, the housekeeper, walking towards her.

Elizabeth had now found her savior, and she told Mrs. Reynolds about her loss.

Mrs. Reynolds was very kind, and she politely took Elizabeth back to her room. After Elizabeth entered the room, Mrs. Reynolds said: "Supper will be ready soon, and I will send the servant to call you." .”

After Mrs. Reynolds left, Elizabeth pondered over today's affairs alone in the room, and thought about the attitudes of Mrs. Catherine, Mr. Darcy and Mr. Bingley, and gradually became a little depressed.Each of them looked down on them so much, as if they were a head shorter than them. Elizabeth thought about these unlucky things today, and gradually lost her energy.

After a while, Mrs. Reynolds sent a maid to invite Elizabeth to dinner.

After Elizabeth went out, she found that Jane had just left the room.

Elizabeth knew that Jane had had trouble with Mr. Bingley just now, so she looked at her cautiously.

Jane's complexion didn't look very good, not as rosy as in the morning. Jane probably didn't want her to see anything, so she smiled at her nonchalantly, but she couldn't hide her unhappiness no matter what.Moreover, Mr. Bingley was not by her side. Elizabeth wanted to ask Mr. Bingley, but after thinking about it, forget it. Since Jane didn't want her to know, she had the right to pretend that she didn't know.

Elizabeth went up to hold Jane's arm, and the maid led the way, and the two sisters went downstairs together.

The maid took them to the restaurant. The restaurant was located on the first floor. It was a very spacious and bright room. The restaurant looked comfortable and elegant, very commensurate with the status of the host's family, but it was not very luxurious.Lydia was already waiting in the dining room, and Catherine and her daughter, Mr. Darcy, Mr. Bingley, and Mr. and Mrs. Hurst had also arrived.

As soon as Elizabeth and Jane arrived, Mrs. Reynolds, the housekeeper, politely invited them to their seats.After they sat down, Miss Bingley and Miss Darcy came in, arm in arm, talking and laughing.

After they came in, they naturally sat together.

Everyone was present, and supper was quickly brought up by the servants.

The dinner was very sumptuous, but the atmosphere on the table was really dull.Elizabeth and Jane didn't talk very much, and Catherine and her daughter were even more silent. Miss Bingley was the most active person at the table. She often whispered to Miss Darcy, but Miss Darcy could hear it and seldom talked. up.

Mr. Darcy, as the host, in order not to be rude, occasionally said a few words in the scene. No matter what he said, Miss Bingley always had a way to talk to him. When Mr. Darcy didn't speak, she talked to Miss Darcy again. .

Later, seeing that the situation was wrong, Mrs. Catherine's face sank, and Mrs. Catherine immediately said to Miss Bingley without hesitation or politeness: "Miss Bingley, don't you know that it's better to talk less when eating, don't you?" Talking to Georgiana all the time, you're keeping her from eating properly."

Miss Bingley blushed immediately when she received such unceremonious accusations. Miss Bingley was an eloquent person, and she could have ridiculed her back, but Lady Catherine was a dignified person, and she was Mr. Darcy She can't help but save face for Mr. Darcy, so she can only swallow this breath silently.

But Miss Darcy said: "It's not such an aunt. I haven't seen Caroline for a long time, so I have a lot to talk about. It's not Caroline's fault."

But Miss Darcy is an introverted and shy character after all, she speaks in a low voice, the last words can only be heard by the people around her, it seems that she lacks confidence.

As the host, Mr. Darcy naturally wanted to rescue Miss Bingley. As soon as Miss Darcy didn't speak, he immediately said: "Georgiana is right, aunt, the two of them have not seen each other for a long time, and I have something to say No wonder. I know you're thinking of Georgiana, but it's just a light meal, and there's no need to be serious."

Mrs. Catherine pursed her lips and said nothing, but Miss Anne looked at her mother, looking a little nervous.

No one spoke much for the rest of the time, and after dinner was finished in silence, Elizabeth looked at Mr. Darcy and felt that he must now regret having these people together as guests.

After dinner, everyone was invited to the living room by the host.

The living room is next door to the dining room, but it is bigger than the dining room.

Elizabeth thought she had finished her meal, but who knew that just as everyone sat down in the living room, someone came in with fine wine and various snacks.

But Elizabeth doesn't know how to drink, and she doesn't dare to eat any more snacks, just eating snacks after a meal, isn't this the rhythm of getting fat naked!Although plump beauty is popular in this era, Elizabeth, who has lived in the 21st century for 20 years, has developed aesthetics and will not be easily shaken.

Jane didn't seem to have much appetite, but Lydia chose some snacks and ate them.

Elizabeth looked at her eating this way and felt terrible.

Lady Catherine also ate a piece of cake, and when she had finished she said to her niece Georgiana, "Georgiana, play some piano for us. Anne told me before she came that she wanted to hear you play, and last time she Is it mentioned in the letter I wrote to you? Come on, play it for us, and let me see if you have improved. Although I have never learned the piano, there are not many people in the UK who have my taste. I live During this time here, I just give you pointers."
