[Pride and Prejudice] Wisdom

After dinner, everyone chatted around the fireplace, and Darcy sat by himself writing letters.

Caroline has been wandering around him, saying a few words from time to time, praising him for his beautiful handwriting and neat writing, and asking him to say hello to his sister on his behalf in the letter.

Lydia and Elizabeth were talking on the sidelines, and Bingley would also ask their opinions on the ball.

"I think it's fine anyway, you won't let us down." Lydia turned her face sideways and answered his words.

Bentley smiled: "Of course."

He was eager to try, looking forward to this upcoming dance.

"However, it will start after Jane's illness is cured. I guess there is still a lot of time to prepare." Bingley said.

Elizabeth was overjoyed that he was so sorry for his sister.

However, another thing kept swirling in her mind.

Elizabeth glanced at Darcy, and Miss Caroline next to him was talking to him non-stop.

"How delighted must Miss Darcy be to receive such a letter? If I had it, I may say without hesitation, it was a great delight."

Darcy didn't make a sound, his train of thought was repeatedly interrupted, so he could only focus on the letter in front of him again.

"Let me tell you, your writing speed is astonishing." Seeing that he didn't answer, Caroline changed the subject.

"Thank you for the compliment, but I don't think so."

"Think how many letters you write in a year? And those business letters, I wouldn't be able to bear it in my place."

Seeing that Darcy ignored her, Caroline asked him again: "Did you write for me?"

Darcy was a little displeased, but he still replied politely: "I have written it according to your intention."

"Really? Then please tell your sister for me. I am very happy to hear that she has improved in playing the piano. I also admire her intelligence and hard work."

Darcy's ears were full of endless words, which made his mood of writing letters suddenly extinguished, and he simply stopped writing, intending to go back to his room and write again.

As a result, his eyes couldn't help moving to Lydia again.

Elizabeth thought about it for a while, and finally couldn't hold back her desire to confide, and told Lydia about this strange thing.

She came close to Lydia's ear and whispered, "You know, Lydia, Mr. Darcy seems to have something to do with Mr. Wickham."

After she finished speaking, she realized that her sister didn't seem to know this gentleman, so she explained to her: "This Mr. Wickham is a member of the militia... Lydia? What's wrong with you? "

She looked at Lydia who opened her red lips slightly, her beautiful eyes were full of surprise.

Lydia silently closed her mouth: "You mean, George Wickham?"

Elizabeth was greatly surprised, but at any rate she was concerned that the other protagonist, Mr. Darcy, was still here, so her voice naturally softened a lot: "How do you know?"

"I heard what Kitty was saying." Lydia tilted her head, trying to find an excuse.

She really didn't expect this scumbag to appear so quickly, which caught her off guard. Although it seemed that he had nothing to do with her now, it still made her feel dazed.

Now that her sister knew the gentleman, it was much easier for Elizabeth to speak.

"You probably don't know that Mr. Wickham, who I have dealt with, was in every respect an impeccable gentleman."

Of course, lying to women is also impeccable, Lydia complained silently in her heart.

"But such a good gentleman, when facing this Mr. Darcy, fell into a strange silence. Don't you find it strange, Lydia?" Elizabeth asked her in a low voice.

Hearing what her sister said, Lydia glanced at the gentleman for Darcy's aggrieved face, but saw him looking back solemnly, so scared that Lydia quickly withdrew her gaze.

She felt that she had better not sympathize with the gentleman.

Darcy watched Lydia's expression change again and again, wondering if she was not feeling well, but the distance between them was a little too far to see clearly, so he silently picked up his letter and stood up .

After turning her head, Lydia kept her back to him, so she stood up without seeing him, and said to her sister, "So guess what, there must be something wrong between the two of them."

"What's the holiday? Miss Lydia?" The male voice from behind made Lydia almost jump up from the sofa.

As soon as she turned around, she saw a magnified face, asking curiously towards her.

Seeing her ruddy complexion, Darcy probably didn't feel uncomfortable, and seeing her watery eyes, after thinking about it for a while, he realized that he was frightened by his actions just now, and he said to her seriously :"sorry."

Lydia waved her hands again and again, indicating that she was fine.

Just as he was about to ask what the holiday was, his friend stopped him.

"Come and see, Darcy, how do you think this wine will be used at the next dance?"

Darcy, who was about to step forward, paused, and walked slowly towards Bentley.

Behind the scenes, it was said that they were almost discovered, and the two sisters were shocked. They immediately said good night to them and went upstairs to take care of their elder sister.

"Okay, Miss Lydia." Bingley said happily, "Don't forget to tell me how Jane is doing tomorrow morning."

Lydia nodded and went upstairs with Elizabeth

After that, Bingley asked him questions again and again, but Darcy didn't say a word, just pointed to his choice.

After they returned to the room, they all breathed a sigh of relief, and talked about what happened just now to Jane who was bored on the bed.

This day was no different from yesterday. They took care of Jane for a whole morning. During this period, Caroline came to show her face, and Bingley also came to greet her.

Darcy didn't show his face, Elizabeth and Lydia thought about it, and still felt that this situation was quite normal.

It's not that Darcy didn't want to show up, he went out early in the morning, rushed back to the town to deal with some things, and then turned around and went to Nizhipei non-stop.

Lydia didn't see Darcy for almost a whole day, but she didn't think it was strange. She discussed with Elizabeth to go out when Jane was resting later.

The two of them were almost moldy in the house, so they planned to take a walk in the bushes behind Nizhipei while Jane was resting.

Such a hit, the two went out after Jane fell asleep.

It was nearly dusk when Darcy arrived in Nizhipei, and he had time to have dinner with everyone. He handed over the horse to the servants beside him and walked into the hall.

Caroline opened the curtains and knew that Darcy was back. Darcy's extraordinary attention to that Miss Lydia had already given her a sense of crisis. She had said a lot of things in the past few days , but Darcy turned a blind eye, which made her very restless, and planned to talk to Darcy carefully, so she dressed neatly and went downstairs to stop him.

"Mr. Darcy." She smiled at the man in front of her, "I wonder if you have time to go out with me for a walk?"

"I'm sorry, Caroline." Darcy shook his head at her: "I'm a little tired."

"

I have something to tell you about Miss Lydia. "Caroline looked at Darcy's back when he stopped.

Darcy was a little curious, hesitated again and again, and went out for a walk with her.

They went round and round to the bush, and Caroline wanted to get closer to Darcy, but he always kept a safe distance from her, which annoyed her very much.

"Mr. Darcy." She said to him like this: "If one day your affection for that Miss Lydia reaches a certain level, please be sure to tell Mrs. Bennet to tell her to stop talking, otherwise I believe you will be very confused in the future."

"I didn't understand what you meant." Darcy stopped and looked at her, not knowing why she said that suddenly, but the meaning revealed in her words made him panic.

"I don't have a deep affection for that Miss Lydia."

"Really?" Caroline decided that this was Darcy's blindfold, and she didn't believe it at all: "I hope you will be as determined as you are today."

"Of course."

Caroline rolled her eyes, and asked him again: "In this case, you don't have any affection for that lady at all."

Darcy was still hesitating, but Caroline answered for him.

"It seems that the answer is already obvious. You are too embarrassed to say it, and I understand." Looking at Caroline's smiling face

Darcy intuitively felt that something was wrong, he turned his head and saw two young girls holding hands.

Seeing Lydia looking at him quietly, Darcy felt flustered for some reason. He suppressed his panic and explained, "It's not what you heard, Miss Lydia."

Lydia thought in her heart what would happen if she answered, “I don’t listen, I don’t listen, I don’t listen, I don’t listen, I don’t listen, I don’t listen, I don’t listen, I don’t listen, I don’t listen.”

Darcy was inexplicably depressed, and could only watch them greet Caroline, and then the two passed by.

Caroline was overjoyed.

As soon as Lydia and Elizabeth returned to Jane's room, they saw Elizabeth looking at her with sympathy.

"Lydia, don't worry, people like Mr. Darcy are not pleasing to anyone." Elizabeth comforted her sister.

At this moment, Jane also woke up, and she was very happy to see her sisters came back. Her body has almost recovered, and she plans to go out for a walk later.

Hearing Elizabeth's comforting words to Lydia, she couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"

Elizabeth told the truth of what she had just said.

Then Jane joined the army to comfort Lydia.

Seeing the way the two sisters comforted her, Lydia found it funny and heartwarming at the same time, although she really felt nothing.

Well, at most, she didn't want to see this Mr. Darcy.

At this time, they changed the subject, and Elizabeth began to discuss with Jane about leaving Niri Pei.

Although Jane was very happy to stay under the same roof with her sweetheart, she also knew that it was not good to stay here all the time, so she hesitated and agreed.

Lydia had been looking forward to this day for a long time, her eyes were full of sparkles, and she expressed her gratitude to Elizabeth.

Both Elizabeth and Lydia, knowing that Mrs. Bennet was anxious to keep them here another week, did not write to her.

Elizabeth had made up her mind not to stay here, and seeing Lydia nodded, they discussed borrowing a carriage from Mr. Bingley to go home.

Early the next morning, they helped Jane, who was wrapped tightly, to go downstairs. Seeing that she was getting better, everyone expressed concern. At this moment, Jane opened her mouth and told Bingley about her intention to leave.

They planned to leave this morning, but when Bingley heard about it, he tried hard to persuade them to stay. When Caroline heard that they were leaving, she pretended to agree and said a few words of her reluctance.

"Especially Miss Lydia, I'm afraid I'll never see such a chic lady like you again."

Lydia thanked her heartily.

Bingley promised to lend them a carriage, but repeatedly asked them to leave after tomorrow's morning prayer. Jane was persuaded by him, and looked at her sister with open eyes apologetically.

Darcy was also shocked because they were leaving, but seeing Lydia's happy look made her feel a little unhappy.

But he also clearly understood that his affection for this young lady had gone beyond what he considered to be curious, so he was somewhat grateful for the news that she was leaving.

After the morning prayer on Sunday, Bingley felt that the time passed too quickly, and sadly sent Jane to the carriage.

Darcy also silently watched the carriage going away in his own room.

Seeing that Niri Pei's black spots were getting farther and farther away from her, Lydia felt her heart beating with joy.
