[Pride and Prejudice] Wisdom
Chapter 41
Wickham's little calculations kept going on.
He knew that Darcy hated him terribly, but he didn't necessarily have a good sense of this "gentleman".
In his heart, Darcy is a jerk who prevents him from living a good life.
He rolled his eyes, although he couldn't compare to him in many aspects, the most important of which was in property, but if he could get him to respond, Wickham would still be more than happy to help.
He glanced at Lydia, and found that Darcy was hesitantly wanting to talk to her. Wickham smiled inwardly, and made up his mind to let Darcy take a good look.
But Darcy has been following Lydia's side. Although he is sure that the country lady can believe him, and understands that even if he is doing something now, Darcy probably won't reveal the truth, but just to be on the safe side, Wickham still felt that it was better to be on the safe side.
But this does not prevent him from coming to win the sympathy of Miss Elizabeth in front of him now.
He hesitated for a while, and kindly begged Elizabeth to accompany him for a walk, because he was afraid that someone would be embarrassed by staying here.
As soon as Wickham spoke, Elizabeth's eyes drifted directly to Darcy, and when she saw him gently questioning her sister, she decided that she must take Mr. Darcy and Wickham together. Understand things in between.
You can't let Lydia be courted by a man who doesn't know anything but that he is rich, in case there is something unknown, and then Lydia happens to be stunned by Mr. Darcy's rhetoric Turn your head, and that would be bad.
Elizabeth felt that it was her duty to take responsibility for her sister's happiness.
She was very happy to listen to Wickham's talk, and she felt that she might know something she wanted to know in this opportunity, so she nodded and agreed to Wickham's request.
"The person you just mentioned...is Mr. Darcy?" Elizabeth also followed him to the small garden, and asked him confidently.
She originally thought that her curiosity would need to be entangled to be satisfied, but she did not expect that Mr. Wickham nodded and brought up this topic on his own initiative.
Lydia didn't expect Darcy to come here with her, but after thinking about it, it's not surprising. He's not a fun-loving character, and with Wickham around, even Bentley He begged him to stay, but he probably reluctantly agreed, and now he wished to stay away from Wickham.
Thinking of Darcy's look of avoiding fear, Lydia evoked a smile, maybe Darcy's character is so easy to understand, unconsciously, she also felt that she knew him too well.
Seeing her smile, Darcy, who had been hesitating all the time, seemed to be encouraged, and went forward to strike up a conversation.
"Miss Lydia, is there anything funny in the book?"
Darcy, who at first kept a certain distance from hers, stepped forward slightly, and raised his dark eyes to her.
It's not easy for Lydia to say what she just thought, so she made up a reason and said it seriously.
"I was just thinking about... um... what to have for dinner."
This incident obviously did not make people laugh, and while Darcy felt that she was perfunctory, he felt a little sad, but he changed the subject.
"After dinner, you to that..." He frowned, and continued: "How do you feel?"
"Judging from his appearance and manners, he is indeed a nice gentleman, but..." Lydia still said that, and Darcy cut off her words excitedly.
"Miss Lydia, please forgive me for talking too much, but your idea is completely wrong." He subconsciously lowered his voice, and said to her with a face full of hatred, but he also felt sorry for Wickham's intentions in his heart. Disgust added a few more strokes: "You have to know that what is important about a man is not his appearance, but his character, and sometimes, this character is often disguised by some people, pretending that he is originally …”
After thinking about it for a while, Darcy finally changed the word dirty to a more euphemistic one: "Despicable character."
"So, Miss Lydia, you should understand..." Darcy looked at her expectantly.
Lydia nodded amusedly: "So we have to see the essence through the phenomenon, isn't it, Mr. Darcy?"
Although she was a little smiling, she also knew that this gentleman's excitement was for her own sake, and she couldn't help but feel that although this gentleman sometimes likes to preach to others, he also had good intentions.
Darcy nodded and glanced at her approvingly, feeling that his words were not in vain.
Lydia held back her smile, and said to him seriously: "Actually, I haven't finished what I said just now. What I want to say is that Wickham doesn't look like a good person."
What she said was really naughty, but Lydia didn't care about anything. She accidentally saw that Wickham abducted her own Elizabeth just now, but Wickham's fox tail hadn't been revealed yet. Come on, even if she told Elizabeth to be careful, according to Elizabeth's personality, she wouldn't take it to heart.
After all, Wickham still looks handsome and gentle now, even she sometimes wonders, is this a scumbag?Not to mention Elizabeth.
When Darcy heard her words, he was stunned, and looked at her blankly, apparently he did not expect that she would say such a thing.
Thinking of what he just said to her, Darcy felt a little embarrassed in his heart. He pursed his lips, blinked his eyes twice quickly as if to cover up his embarrassment, and finally said something eagerly.
"You know, just fine."
Here Darcy is preaching to Lydia, and Elizabeth's mouth can't be closed over there.
"So you mean..." She was really shocked in her heart, after all, in her expectation, it was only a trivial matter at most, but what Darcy did was completely beyond her imagination.
She only thought that Mr. Darcy was a brazen and mean person, determined to keep Lydia away from him.
There was a slight smile on the corner of Wickham's mouth. Seeing Elizabeth looking over, he looked pitiful but pretended to be calm again.
Elizabeth read it, and became more convinced of his words.
For the next dinner, she ate absent-mindedly, glanced at Darcy from time to time, and saw that he was still acting like nothing had happened, and felt ridiculous and resentful in her heart.
God, how could there be people like him in the world.
Lydia's mind was full of memories of Darcy's embarrassing and shy expression, which made her look like she had molested a woman from a good family. From time to time, her eyebrows and eyes were crooked, revealing a smile.
Seeing her like this, Darcy guessed something in his heart, and felt helpless in his heart, but he also felt that Lydia, who was secretly smiling, had a pink complexion and was extremely cute.
Wickham found out that Miss Lydia was getting better, and he also looked forward to his next plan.
After a dinner, the four sisters went home in Mrs. Philip's carriage.
Kitty, elated with her success in the afternoon, could not help showing off when she saw Lydia.
Lydia looked at her childishness, and wondered if she was infected by the afternoon's events, and she also teased Kitty.
It made Kitty run after her shyly.
Bingley and Jane said goodbye reluctantly. Jane had a very happy day today. Although she was a little bit sad when they parted, she still tried her best not to show her face.
"Next Tuesday, there will be a dance in Nigerpei, I hope you can come." Bingley said to her.
Jane naturally readily agreed.
When Kitty heard that there was a ball, she stopped chasing and came over.
Collins also came to Lydia's side as soon as he heard the news of returning home, and told his cousin what he had gained today.
He couldn't wait to go back and think about how he would flatter that icy gentleman at next week's ball.
When he was about to say goodbye, Darcy glanced at the person who was in the way. Because of the occlusion of Collins' figure, he could only see half of Lydia's face.
He is a little unhappy.
He knew that Darcy hated him terribly, but he didn't necessarily have a good sense of this "gentleman".
In his heart, Darcy is a jerk who prevents him from living a good life.
He rolled his eyes, although he couldn't compare to him in many aspects, the most important of which was in property, but if he could get him to respond, Wickham would still be more than happy to help.
