[Pride and Prejudice] Wisdom

The phrase "eating without talking, sleeping without talking" is just a decoration in a home with Mrs. Bennett.

Because she learned such great good news in the afternoon, even though her husband rejected her request to visit, her spirit became much more excited than before.

"My dear sir," said she, "it is very insolent of you not to call on Mr. Bingley!"

"Oh?" Mr. Bennet wiped his mouth. "I bet that Mr. Bingley would never have noticed anything wrong without our family visiting."

"If he knows what kind of people our family is made of, maybe he will feel a lot more fortunate." His white eyebrows moved, and he said to Lydia who was eating.

"Lydia, can you bring me the salt you have here?"

Lydia put down the fork in relief, picked up the salt and handed it over.

The plate seemed to be a hodgepodge, the unpalatable meat directly made her give up the idea of ​​swallowing it, and concentrated on attacking potatoes and a few small pieces of bread.

"Lydia, if you don't want to eat it, give it to me!" Kitty's eyes had long been fixed on Lydia's plate, and the fork was directly inserted into the meat, and she chewed it in her mouth.

The people around were not surprised by their fight, Elizabeth glanced at the two sisters lightly and delicately, and whispered to the quiet Jane next to her in a blink of an eye.

"Jane, I heard that Mr. Bingley is a rare gentleman." Elizabeth has always been friendly with Jane, and it is very natural to joke.

Jane's fair face couldn't help but blushed a little more, but it was a pity that she was shy by nature, and she didn't know what to say when facing her younger sister's joking words, so she could only pretend to be angry and glared at her.

Elizabeth was naturally aware of her sister's character, and the two laughed and quarreled.

Lydia watched the family's actions with cold eyes. Even though she had read this famous book, a long time had passed, and she could barely remember a few important details.

Now that I have come to the Bennett's house, I want to live a good life. In this era where women basically have no status, the best way is undoubtedly to please my father.

But watching Mr. Bennet's indifferent behavior, Lydia hesitated again and again, and gave up the idea of ​​pleasing him.

Even if the stupid words of his wife and daughter brought a lot of jokes to the family, he never took the initiative to discipline him.

If Mrs. Bennet's dullness was natural, the frivolity and vanity of Kitty and the original owner had something to do with their father's indifferent attitude.

The dinner was over soon, and Lydia closed the door first after refusing Kitty to discuss with her how to win the gentleman's favor.

Kitty kicked her legs resentfully, and ran downstairs to complain to her mother.

Lydia twitched her two delicately trimmed eyebrows, crawled under the bed, and lightly took out the nice box that the original owner had hidden.

Counting the few pennies left in it, Lydia felt that she should be thankful that at least the original she didn't have time to spend all this month's allowance immediately.

Fortunately, she can buy a few small things she needs.

Looking at herself in the mirror, the girl straightened her back, lowered her head slightly, and the dim light cast her whole body as if coated with a delicate halo. The habit of being picky about herself makes her have strict requirements on her appearance.

Although Lydia can be regarded as a beauty, if you look closely, you can see her facial features.Now that she is not fully opened, she is almost the same as Jane who is famous for her beauty in Meryton, not to mention the queen who will be completely out in the future.

It's a pity that she was gluttonous and lazy in sports, and her temperament was frivolous. Naturally, people look down on her. Although she is beautiful, she is inferior to Jane, isn't it 01:30 , and only Mrs. Bennet thinks her little daughter is extremely beautiful.

Although in the eyes of several daughters, Mrs. Bennet seems to be a noisy and stupid woman, and the idea of ​​​​dedicated to selling the daughters makes her look like a joke.

However, she also truly loves her daughters.

She opened the door with a basin and walked out, planning to go to the bathroom to wipe her face. As for the serious issue of taking a bath, she planned to ask the servants at home to boil more pots of hot water tomorrow.

In this place where bathing is almost every few days, it is no wonder that Europeans used to use perfume to cover their own smell.

"Lydia?" The voice behind her made her stop, and looked back at Elizabeth who was smiling and calling her in doubt.

"What's the matter? Liz?" The person who usually turned a blind eye to her little sister would stop her, which made Lydia's heart tighten, wondering if she had discovered something?

"I just thought I haven't talked to you for a long time?" Elizabeth said, "Are you free now?"

Lydia couldn't help but clenched her hands. She gestured to the basin in her hand, her eyebrows were twitched, and she looked tangled and funny: "I still have to wash my face."

She deliberately pretended to be pampered and innocent, and said to Elizabeth.

"It won't take up too much of your time." Elizabeth blinked, and pulled her to the stairs.

Looking at her hand being held, Lydia struggled a few times like the previous pampered way, and finally found that her elder sister still had quite strong hands, so she obediently walked aside.

"Actually, I've seen all the changes in you in the past few days." Elizabeth whispered to her, "I don't know if it's good or bad, but you've heard what your mother said."

Lydia's originally suspended heart relaxed a little after hearing the second half of the sentence.

"Whether you want to pretend to coax those rich young masters, or you have other calculations in mind, in short, you'd better know that during this period of time, don't tarnish our family's reputation." Elizabeth warned herself that the most The sister who loves to get into trouble.

Elizabeth also had a small calculation in her heart. In her opinion, there is no one who is more innocent and kind than Jane in the world, and this young master, if he is really as good as he said, is undoubtedly the same as Jane. They got along well, and before that, she had to help Jane solve some small problems.

And Lydia is the most troublesome part of this little problem. No one knows better than her how frivolous Lydia is. Relying on her beauty, she wandered among a group of men at a young age. She didn't bother to take care of this unselfish younger sister, but now for Jane's sake, she couldn't help but secretly say a few words to Lydia.

Although Elizabeth's words sounded for the benefit of the Bennett family, but Lydia always felt a little weird when she heard it. The original owner's savage temper is destined to make her agree to her sister's words so obediently , even if she agreed, Elizabeth might still have doubts in her heart.

She groaned a few times, and stretched out her hand to Elizabeth pretending to be very reluctant: "I have recently taken a fancy to a hat."

Elizabeth held back her disdain for this younger sister, and nodded coldly: "I will give you some money tomorrow."

Lydia walked away humming a song. Although she heard a lot of unintelligible words, Elizabeth wanted to help her sister get ahead, and she didn't mind taking the opportunity to make some money.

That's right, I'm that shameless!Lydia thought proudly.

Walking to the bathroom, she picked up a towel, twisted it, and wiped her face. Although the skin of Europeans and Americans is fair, it is much rougher than the delicate skin of Orientals. In addition, this one, except for nobles, most people have nothing to take care of their skin. era.

Touching the skin on her face, Lydia began to think about what she should do to improve it.

She used to like to mess around with things, but she didn't expect that these things, which she didn't use much before, could be used now.

After all, it is natural for women to love beauty, and I have this condition, why can't I make my life better?

Her eyes lit up, and she felt as if she had found a new way to get rich.
