[Pride and Prejudice] Wisdom

After Niger Pei's ball, Mrs. Bennet, who had a keen sense of something different, was very excited.

She is proud of Mr. Bingley's admiration for her eldest daughter, and she can't wait to tell others, but before that, she still has one important matter to settle.

"Baby Lydia." She knocked on the door of Lydia's room, which had been huddled in the house since lunch, and her voice softened a few degrees on purpose.

Lydia put the white paper in her hand into the drawer beside the bed, walked over and opened the door.

"What's wrong? Mom?"

"I want to talk to you, okay, Lydia?" Mrs. Bennet's fat body dexterously got into the door, and Lydia had a smile on her face.

"I don't know what you want to tell me? Mom?" Although she intuitively felt that it would not be a good thing.

Mrs. Bennet coughed and said to her, "I know you don't like Collins, and I don't like him either."

"But he said that he had your permission to talk to me, mother." When Collins was mentioned, he couldn't help but think of the embarrassment of that night and Darcy.

Lydia found herself falling into a daily regret routine again.

Mrs. Bennet laughed awkwardly.

"My darling, you know, I just have to," she said, reassuring Lydia: "But, I'm sure, I won't let him come near you again!"

Lydia glanced at her suspiciously: "Really?"

"Of course, baby." Mrs. Bennet vowed: "But before that, you must tell me one thing."

Lydia had a bad premonition in her heart.

"What? Mom."

"I saw them all that day, Lydia, tell your mother that Darcy..."

"Nothing." Lydia interrupted her mother: "I thought Jane's affairs would be enough to make you happy."

"Of course Jane's affairs make me happy. You know, Mr. Bingley is fine. Jane can get his attention, which is a matter of honor for our whole family."

"So, Mom, you must not embarrass Jane. Look, what if Mr. Bingley suddenly withdraws, so you have to behave well." Lydia moved the topic to Jane again. go.

Mrs. Bennet's attention was successfully drawn away. She felt that what Lydia said made sense, so she nodded repeatedly.

"Besides, you must not gossip about this matter. Think about it, if others know about Jane's matter, it is inevitable that some bad words will not be heard. Don't you think so, Mom?" Lydia analyzed each item for her. with.

Mrs. Bennet was thoughtful, and her show-off heart stopped a little.

"So what are you going to do now?"

"I'm going to sit at Lucas's house and talk to Mrs. Lucas by the way." Mrs. Bennet said.

"Then you have to be careful, don't reveal anything." Lydia instructed her.

Mrs. Bennet nodded: "I will never tell!"

"Okay, now, you can go to Mrs. Lucas."

Lydia coaxed her mother away in circles. She was relieved, but before she could pick up the pen for a while, she heard Mrs. Bennet muttering loudly about Miss Charlotte Lucas. coming.

When Mrs. Bennet came to Lucas's house, she felt that something was wrong. She always felt that she had forgotten something. It happened that Charlotte said that she would come to find Elizabeth, so she followed Charlotte before sitting on her buttocks for a while. Te returned to his home together.

Elizabeth was also very happy to see Charlotte coming to her, and the two began chatting while sitting on the sofa.

Elizabeth and Charlotte hadn't spoken so intimately in some time.

One is because Charlotte is the eldest sister of the family, and Lucas's family relies on her to take care of many things, so she has to rush home to deal with a lot of things after she occasionally says a few words, and second, of course It was because she had been in close contact with Wickham recently, so she ignored her good friend.

Thinking of Wickham, Elizabeth had to confide in Charlotte.

When she had just explained the relationship to Charlotte, Collins pushed open the door of his living room and saw Elizabeth, his eyes lit up.

He had a vague feeling in his heart that Lydia might be out of play, so after choosing again and again, his eyes shifted to the second cousin.

Seeing him walking towards her with a smirk on his face, Elizabeth felt that she looked down on him even more.

She introduced her "cousin" to Charlotte, saying that he was a kind clergyman, and there was a lot of teasing in her words.

Collins didn't pay attention to the lady over there at all at first, but after hearing Elizabeth's introduction, his good-sleeved nature became active again, with a smile on his face that he thought was good.

"Hello, Miss Lucas," he said, "I have heard of Sir Lucas since I came here, and I have heard of you."

Charlotte immediately said that he praised herself too much, and cleverly complimented Collins at the end.

Collins began to think that this Miss Lucas was very good, and immediately began to talk to her, and even forgot Elizabeth when he was happy.

Elizabeth longed for him to forget himself, and was pleased with that.

What made her feel strange was the attitude of her best friend, Charlotte Lucas.

How could Charlotte, a clever girl in her own mind, be interested in Collins's stupid remarks.

So it came like this, Elizabeth thought that Charlotte must be kind-hearted, and couldn't bear to let Collins sing a one-man show alone.

What surprised Collins was that Miss Charlotte Lucas also seemed to be very curious about what he said.

This made him a little frustrated at Bennett's house these days. He seemed to have found his confidant, and felt that this lady was really a good wife.

Collins was drooling, but Charlotte didn't show any disgust. Even when Collins was thirsty, she thoughtfully handed him the water in front of her.

Collins felt that he was very proud. He took a sip of water and continued to talk to Charlotte about his achievements.

He felt great about it.

Mrs. Bennet went upstairs and knocked on Lydia's door as soon as she got home, and she finally remembered what the damned thing she had forgotten was.

Feeling resentful towards Lydia's cunning in her heart, she knocked on the door vigorously to express her inner anger.

But in the face of her vigorous slap on the door, which was still motionless, Mrs. Bennet complained in her heart about Lydia's cruelty.

She turned the doorknob angrily, but was shocked to find that the door was not locked!

It was so startling that she began to regret it again, and stopped blaming Lydia.

But she opened the door and found that Lydia was not in the room.

As soon as she heard Mrs. Bennet's loud voice, she immediately tactfully slipped out of the room and ran to the kitchen to relax.

She knew that her mother was easy to fool in everything, but she was as shrewd as if she had a clue when it came to her daughter's marriage.

In order to avoid Mrs. Bennet's mental attack and endless nagging, she still planned to avoid her.

She heard Collins' forcedly polite voice outside in the kitchen, and was very hesitant about whether she could go out.

But the sound of Mrs. Bennet's footsteps coming down the stairs and the sound of her voice quickly made up her mind.

Instead of being blocked by Mrs. Bennet in the kitchen, she would rather stay with Elizabeth and the others, so as to take the opportunity to fool Mrs. Bennet again.

So, when Mrs. Bennet went downstairs full of doubts, she saw the little girl she couldn't find sitting beside Lizzie, talking with her.

This made her face darken all of a sudden.

"Lydia! Where did you go!" She staggered down the stairs and questioned Lydia.

"I've been here all along, right, Lizzie." Lydia blinked innocently.

"Well, that's right, Mom." Although Elizabeth still had some unpleasant disagreements with Lydia on Darcy's issue, it didn't affect her helping her sister out of her mother's clutches.

Mrs. Bennet curled her lips, very dissatisfied with the attitude of the two of them.

Now he was full of anger and went to Collins.

"Mr. Collins, I have something to tell you. Do you have time now?"

Mrs. Bennet's utterance made Collins have to end his conversation with Miss Lucas, but he thought of Elizabeth, and he didn't have much regret for the end of this conversation.

"Yes, ma'am," he said, rising, and going out with Mrs. Bennet, who turned away.

Seeing Collins gone, Elizabeth breathed a sigh of relief, and asked Charlotte, "Why did you start chatting with him?"

"I think what he said was very bitter, so I'm too embarrassed not to listen." Charlotte said to her friend.

Elizabeth laughed when she said this, and felt that Charlotte must have the kindness to help her knowing that she didn't want to be disturbed by Collins. She only felt that Charlotte was far more understanding than understanding.

During the time when Collins was called away, Elizabeth would never want to see him again, so she suggested to everyone that she wanted to go to Aunt Philip's house.

Charlotte expressed regret to her that she was going home to take care of her sister and could not go with her.

Elizabeth knew that she had a lot of things to do, so she didn't really care about it. Instead, she understood and urged her to go back quickly.

So Charlotte rose to bid her farewell.

After hearing Elizabeth's words, Lydia couldn't help thinking of a name. She pursed her lips, thinking that she still had to follow Elizabeth well. If Wickham didn't show any clues, then Elizabeth probably would too. Continue to trust him so much.

So, she told Elizabeth that she could go with her.

Elizabeth was a little surprised, but also wanted her to hear Wickham's words with her own ears, so that she could have a real understanding of Darcy's face, so she nodded happily.
