[Pride and Prejudice] Wisdom

George Wickham was very bored listening to the people next to him introduce the things along the way.

Longbourne was, after all, a small place to him, but though he disliked it in his heart, he never showed it on the surface.So in the eyes of outsiders, he still looks gentle and elegant.

Seeing him like this, Mr. Danny naturally liked him even more.

Seeing Elizabeth stop, Kitty naturally followed her gaze to look across the street, and her attention was instantly shifted to the young man.

The two young and beautiful ladies stopped suddenly on the street, and Danny naturally noticed it. When he saw Kitty, he bowed to them in a gentlemanly manner.

Kitty hurriedly pretended to take Elizabeth to the opposite side to buy something, and met them face to face.

Kitty came here with the intention of inquiring when Mr. Danny would come back, but she had already been absorbed by the young man beside him, and felt that Lydia's absence was a great loss.

However, facing a young man with such an excellent appearance, Kitty thought about it, and it was a good thing for her that Lydia didn't come.

When Danny saw them, he greeted them with a smile and kindly, and introduced his friends to them.

Kitty and Elizabeth now knew that the young man was called Wickham.

"He came back from the city with me, and will be stationed here for the winter with the militia, and has been commissioned."

Kitty's eyes lit up.

Maybe it's the effect of appearance. Elizabeth also had a good impression of Mr. Wickham, and a little smile appeared on her face.

When Wickham saw these two ladies, he didn't think he was interested. He had seen a lot of women, and they couldn't arouse his interest. The only thing he was interested in was these two ladies. How much dowry.

"Hello." He had charming eyes, and there was nothing wrong with him.Not only his handsome appearance, but also his beautiful figure, coupled with his well-balanced conversation, almost made Kitty fall in love with him.

Danny turned back to Wickham and introduced the two Bennet ladies.

Elizabeth and Kitty also said to her: "Hello."

After such a back and forth of introductions, Wickham himself took up the conversation, and he spoke in a manner that was decent without being arrogant, and what was more rare, he told things as if he were telling a story, Let the two ladies listen with gusto.

They were all young men and women, not to mention that Wickham was so good, and Kitty wanted to get closer, and the group quickly got together and talked.

"So, there are five more sisters in your family?" Wickham asked aloud, with some curiosity in his words, without making people feel rude.

Looking at his conversation and appearance, he doesn't look like an officer at all, but looks like an excellent gentleman born in an aristocratic family.

Kitty, admiring him in her heart, answered him.

"Yes, Mr. Wickham." Her eyes were curved, and she was youthful again. When she met the gentleman she liked, she naturally brought out a bit of charm.

Elizabeth just stood aside and listened to their conversation quietly. The longer she listened, the higher her opinion of Mr. Wickham's character was. In her opinion, although Mr. Wickham was an officer, he But he advances and retreats in a moderate manner, and he doesn't touch the hippie smiles of other officers at all. On the contrary, he is an extremely gentleman.

"Miss Bennet and Miss Bennet are the most famous for their beauty, Wickham, and you will be able to see it at the ball." Mr. Danny said aloud.

"Oh?" Wickham's tone was slightly raised, and there was something different about it.

"The two ladies in front of me are so amazing, and the two ladies in Danny's mouth, then I have to see them well."

The group of them stood here talking and talking, looking very comfortable. Suddenly, a cheerful voice interrupted their conversation, and everyone looked up and forgot about it.

"May I ask, Miss Elizabeth." The man on the horse smiled softly: "Is Jane with you?"

Elizabeth saw Mr. Bingley stunned for a moment before reacting and said: "Because Lydia is sick, she is taking care of her at home."

Darcy tightened the rope in his hand calmly.

Bingley said dejectedly, "Thank you, Miss Elizabeth." But turning his head around, he cheered up again, and greeted Lydia with concern: "Is Miss Lydia getting better?"

Elizabeth looked at the silent man next to Bingley, and felt that he was rude and arrogant, and he was really incomparable with Mr. Wickham.

She glanced past him, smiled at Bingley and said, "Because it's a fever, it's much better after sweating."

Bingley exchanged pleasantries with them again, saying that he must go to Meryton to meet them later, and Darcy nodded inwardly.

"That's good." Bingley said, his eyes moved to the two men beside them: "This is... Wickham?" His tone was surprised, and everyone present was stunned.

"You know Mr. Wickham?" Kitty jumped up and said, she couldn't wait to know more about this gentleman.

When Darcy heard this name, he couldn't help being startled and angry, and his eyes moved towards the young man who hadn't noticed just now.

Elizabeth was also very surprised. She was very surprised to see the eyes of the two gentlemen looking at each other.Looking at the expressions on the faces of the two of them, she couldn't help guessing whether something unpleasant had happened to them, because the atmosphere was so strange.

Fortunately, this embarrassment only lasted for a while, and Wickham reacted first, touched the top hat with his hand, and saluted Darcy.

Darcy's reaction was even more strange. Without saying a word, he gave Wickham a cold look, and rode away.

Bingley smiled apologetically at Elizabeth, said "see you next time", and walked away behind Darcy.

Elizabeth's natural curiosity made her very curious about the embarrassment of these two gentlemen, but based on her general understanding of these two gentlemen, coupled with Wickham's calm and composed attitude, she was very emotional. Quickly stood on his side, thinking whether Darcy had done something wrong to him, so he kept silent and ashamed himself.

After this episode, the atmosphere of the crowd became a little depressed, but fortunately Wickham came back to his senses soon and made them laugh again and again, and Mr. Danny offered to send them back to his aunt's house.

In order to spend more time with this Mr. Wickham, Kitty naturally agreed, and the group walked forward.

When she arrived at her aunt's house, Kitty invited them in again and again without giving up. She only felt that the distance they walked together was too short, which disappointed her.

Both Wickham and Danny shook their heads, said "Let's talk next time", and bowed and left.

Kitty and Elizabeth had no choice but to turn around and enter the house. Kitty sighed, but then thought of holding a dance to welcome the arrival of the garrison in a few days, and her whole body came alive.

Elizabeth, on the other hand, frowned, and began to think about Mr. Wickham and Darcy in her heart.

They were stayed by their aunt for dinner, and Kitty couldn't wait to leave and go home so that she could attend the evening talk and show off to Lydia how handsome and personable the officer she met was.

In Kitty's heart, there was nothing Mr. Bingley or anything like Wickham's finger.

The two of them returned home in the carriage, and Mrs. Bennet immediately came out to greet them with a happy face, and asked about the officers.

The look on Kitty's face was extremely proud, she snorted twice, tried her best to hold back the desire she was about to blurt out, and asked her mother back.

"Where's Lydia?"

"She and Jane are weaving lace upstairs, mommy's sweetheart, tell mommy, you've seen those officers? How do you feel?" Mrs. Bennet asked impatiently.

Kitty and Elizabeth answered her, as they walked home with Mrs. Bennet.

"Excellent indeed, Mr. Denny is back, and he has brought a young officer with him, and that officer is very charming," exclaimed Kitty.

"Not only that, but he speaks well, and his appearance is also in the limelight." Elizabeth echoed Kitty's words, and she was also very satisfied with Mr. Wickham.

Mrs. Bennet was also satisfied with this answer, and Kitty couldn't wait to run upstairs to show off to Lydia.

The door was slammed again. Lydia and Jane put down the ribbons they had braided in their hands, and looked at each other helplessly. Jane walked over and opened the door.

They heard Kitty's sharp voice just now by the window, and sure enough, they guessed right, it was her outside the door.

Since Darcy returned to the Niripei villa in the afternoon, until the evening, he felt a little restless.

But these small thoughts did not disturb his strict self-discipline arrangement. He still wrote for a while as usual, read a book briefly, and finally had dinner with everyone, although he felt particularly uncomfortable today. The late dinner was unsatisfactory, but he still ate a few mouthfuls with a frown.

It wasn't until he sat at the desk and began to write a letter to his sister Georgiana that he felt that today passed too slowly.

He stopped writing a sentence for a while, some didn't know what to write, so he stared blankly at the letter paper. Although he was sitting on the sofa reading a book, Caroline, who was actually watching Darcy secretly, soon realized that something was wrong with him. stand up.

Different from the smile in his eyes when he wrote letters in the past, he looked extremely confused tonight, which made Caroline start to wonder what happened to them today.

She leaned over to her brother who was also downcast and caressing her own brother, covering half of her face with an exaggerated bright green feather fan, and asked in a low voice.

"What did you do today?"

Bingley's eyes seemed a little erratic, and he said absent-mindedly, "Darcy and I went for a stroll in the next town."

Caroline raised her eyebrows: "Is that so?"

Bentley let out a muffled hum.

This is strange, Caroline was thinking that something was wrong, she had wanted to take the position of Mrs Darcy for more than a year, and she felt like an enemy of all the changes in Darcy, seeing Darcy With this strange appearance today, I felt a little uncomfortable.

"Did you meet anyone?" Caroline asked him in a low voice.

Bingley thought for a while before saying: "As for people... I didn't meet anyone... They were all around. Oh! By the way, we met Wickham."

Caroline's eyes shone with pride, and she nodded. Knowing the reason, there were traces of Darcy's bad mood, and she was relieved to know that he didn't meet some kind of woman.

Darcy didn't pay attention to what they were talking about. He suddenly thought of Wickham's hypocritical face, and suddenly thought of Elizabeth's words. At the end, it was difficult to hide the glorious face, and the mood began to fluctuate again.
