[Pride and Prejudice] Wisdom

In the following time, Lydia never received any veiled glances from Darcy.

She felt relieved for a while, it was a bit weird to think of being stared at like that all the time.

Kitty talked about the ball that day at the table again, and Bingley also became a little interested, and Kitty begged him to hold a ball in Netherfield Gardens, and many people would be eager to come.

"Actually, I think this idea is also very good." Bentley nodded in agreement.

They exchanged a few more words, and Kitty spoke to him again.

"You must remember this matter!"

Bingley smiled and nodded, thinking in his heart that he would be able to see Jane again.

Caroline curled her lips, and the night slowly fell. She looked at the two uninvited guests, bent her eyes, and immediately came out with a smile.

"It looks like it's getting late, why don't you two ladies stay overnight." Caroline looked sideways at Lydia, and sure enough, she raised her eyes slightly to look at her.

Elizabeth looked at her excitedly, feeling that although she seemed disliked on the surface, she was actually very good in heart.

She readily agreed.

Lydia picked up the napkin and wiped her mouth. Except for a curious glance at Caroline just now, she didn't say anything after that.

"Miss Lydia, what do you think of my suggestion?" According to her previous temperament, she would definitely refute it fiercely at this time, but she had good intentions and did nothing wrong at all. Showing weakness will naturally make everyone have a bad impression of her.

Caroline was simply overwhelmed by her own wit.

She didn't have to worry about the Bennet sisters. Except for Jane, who Bingley had a crush on, she didn't like any of the other ladies.

Even the words with Lydia were simply hating her face.

Otherwise, she is considered a noble lady after all, so why should she condescend to play with this squire girl?

"I think you're very considerate." Lydia smiled politely at her, and now she realizes that there is no way to deal with a person like Caroline, just ignore her, she jumped up Back and forth, the more you confront her, the more aggressive she will be, but if you ignore her, she will naturally feel that you are not a threat, so she withdraws her minions proudly.

Anyway, she was under someone else's roof, and after careful calculation, Caroline's words didn't affect her at all, so why should she waste her energy trying to confront her.

Thinking of this, Lydia gave her a bright smile without hesitation.

Although Lydia was right, if it was someone else, Caroline would have raised her eyebrows contentedly by now, not bothering to care about others at all.

But when she met Lydia and saw the smile on her bright face, she felt more and more an eyesore.

She turned her eyes to Darcy, and seeing his eyes froze because of the girl's smile, she felt even more uncomfortable.

A country girl with a pitiful little dowry and a large group of relatives who are not on the table, no matter how you look at it, she is not a good candidate for a wife.

But as soon as Darcy touched her, it was as if he had changed. Although this feature was not obvious, it was enough to make Caroline vigilant.

The sense of threat brought to her by this ordinary lady was greater than that brought to her by those aristocratic ladies of high society in London.

"Then, Mr. Darcy, what do you think?" Caroline lowered her tone and looked at the tall and handsome gentleman with tender eyes.

As for Bingley, seeing his happy face, he knew that there was no need to ask his opinion.

Darcy didn't seem to expect that she would ask his own opinion. He glanced at the two Miss Lydia's sisters, and didn't express any opinion, but said lightly: "Whatever you want."

"Then it's decided." Caroline couldn't see her smile, and asked someone to tell the Bennett's house, and bring a change of clothes for the ladies.

In any case, three of the Bennet ladies had settled down in Netherfield Gardens, and Mrs. Bennet immediately cheered up, and reckoned she would go to Mrs. Luska to show off to-morrow.

After the group had dinner, Elizabeth volunteered to go up to take care of her older sister. Lydia made an agreement with her that she would take care of her after a while.

Kitty's main purpose of coming here is to learn a lot, and to get close to Miss Caroline by the way, but she didn't expect to be lucky enough to stay here overnight, which made her very happy.

After the meal, knowing that Jane was being taken care of, she watched Elizabeth go upstairs, and began to pull Lydia to sit beside Caroline, praising her.

The two men also stayed for a while, but Bingley missed Jane in his heart, and after a pause, he apologized and walked upstairs.

On the contrary, Darcy sat here listening to their conversation uncharacteristically.

Caroline guessed something in her heart, she squinted at Lydia who didn't know what she was thinking.

Kitty's compliments, though they sounded good at first, were repeated in a few words about her good taste, or about the fine lace trimmings on her dresses, or about her blue jeweled jewellery. What a beautiful brooch.

Kitty was young after all, and she couldn't help showing a bit of envy in her words.

Caroline laughed heartily at the sight of her.

Lydia was distracted, but she sat upright and looked at them with lowered eyes. If she didn't observe carefully, it would not be easy to find her absent-mindedness.

She was thinking about how to make money. The Bennetts couldn't support her for the rest of her life, and she had no interest in those men. If she married a man, her life would be worse than it is now. Why should she wrong herself?

In addition, if there are small landlords or nobles with some money, they will have to hook up outside, and Lydia doesn't want to keep herself in the dark.

She began to think about what she could do with her abilities. First of all, she wanted to be amazing, which is rare in this era. He has dabbled in famous paintings, not only is he good at appreciating them, but he is also eloquent in talking about them.

However, this is of no use.

Picking up leaks has never been so easy. She was just lucky, and with the Prophet, she was lucky enough to get a Rembrandt work, but if it is really sold, it may take a year or two. Hydrolysis can not be near thirsty.

If she was asked to paint by herself, it would be even more difficult. This is not a question of her painting skills, but a question of reputation.

She doesn't believe in those so-called masters, the figures of their contemporaries may not be as good as their paintings, but why can't others be left in history?Putting aside the issue of skills, the most important thing is that people in the upper class are sought after.

Lydia felt that just because she was a country girl with few contacts, not to mention that she was being pursued by others, but even if the nobles were willing to take a look at her, it would probably be a big deal.

After all, when most people see her, they think of her identity, and they also think about it——a country lady, what kind of superb paintings can she draw?

Coupled with her attractive appearance, it is estimated that people are more likely to be delusional. People with big brains may have to make up a lot of rural anecdotes.

Lydia thought about this matter for a while and then thought about other things, her mind was about to explode, and Kitty called her several times before she realized it.

"Mr. Hurst asked us to play bridge? What are you thinking?" Kitty looked at her with wide eyes.

Lydia woke up, looked at the people around who were waiting for her opinion, thought about how poor she was, and shook her head resolutely.

Since Lydia didn't fight, Kitty wasn't interested either. In the end, only Caroline, her sister Louisa, and Louisa's husbands, Mr. Hurst and Mr. Darcy, were left playing on the small round table. up.

Kitty pulled Lydia over to look at the cards, and Lydia looked around, only to find that Darcy had the worst cards.

Mr. Hurst was the dealer. He looked at the cards in his hand, so he called first, and Darcy sat on his lower hand. After he played a card, he followed suit. one sheet.

Caroline just wanted to be with Darcy, so she played cards carelessly, instead she turned around from time to time and asked Lydia and Kitty who were watching the cards behind her some questions.

"I heard that you and Miss Elizabeth walked three miles together. It must be very fortunate." Caroline played the card and asked in pretended surprise, deliberately to make Darcy who didn't see the stupidity of the two sisters Get to know each other

Kitty didn't seem to notice anything, and replied cheerfully: "Yes, Miss Caroline, maybe it's more than three miles."

"Oh?" Caroline nodded: "Then it seems that you are walking very fast, and you may be used to this matter. By the way, do you often walk around together? Ms. Lydia will not be the same How about this?"

Kitty noticed something was wrong: "We usually go to our aunt's house like this. After all, the distance is not too far, and Lydia is naturally the same as us."

Caroline laughed coquettishly: "Let me tell you, a lady, if you walk in the country like this, think about the mud on the soles of your feet, and the muddy petticoats, it is definitely not good for a lady. Yes, Miss Lydia, I will advise you more and more to avoid doing these things, think about it, how rude this is to the host family?"

Now that she has been named, Lydia can only answer her seriously: "For your words, the only thing I can do is thank you for your persuasion."
