[Pride and Prejudice] Wisdom

Maybe it's because Lydia "leaves early and returns late" these days, so she doesn't know anything about the major events that happened to her sisters.

The cause of the matter was that Jane hesitated again and again, but decided to send a letter to Caroline Bingley. Although the letter she sent did not receive any response, but by chance, she and Elizabeth and Gadi When Mrs. Nana went to visit Grosswino Street, the group of them met Miss Bingley strangely.

And all this is obviously unknown to Lydia who talked with Georgiana at Darcy's house.

Jane was naturally very excited to see Caroline, and she greeted her good friend affectionately, while Elizabeth clearly felt that Miss Bingley was not in high spirits.

Caroline wasn't very surprised to see them in London, after all, Jane had written, but she just didn't expect that these three country girls would have the courage to come to London.

And the chance encounter here surprised her a little. In her expectation, it shouldn't be so early when they meet.

She scanned Jane and Elizabeth, thinking that they were the only two who came to London, because Jane did not explain to her in the letter, but only told her information, so Caroline took it for granted that Miss Lydia did not come.

This made her heave a sigh of relief, with a smile on her face, and reprimanded: "Why didn't you know me when you came here in London?"

Jane thought she hadn't received her letter, and when she saw her asking like this, she felt certain in her heart: "I sent you a letter, maybe it was lost due to some accident on the way, I'm really sorry."

"That's really a coincidence, but it doesn't matter much." Caroline comforted her friend.

Then Jane asked about her brother again, and said that she also met him on the street a few days ago.

Caroline thought to herself that it was no wonder that Charles had a happy face a few days ago, but these coincident encounters one after another made her vigilant.

They exchanged a few more polite words, and Jane kept telling her that she would like her to come to the Gardener's house, and Caroline naturally agreed.

But Jane waited for her for several days without seeing her, and never even sent a letter. Finally, one afternoon, Miss Bingley came to the Gardiner house, which was a bit small compared to her. , she chatted with Jane a few more words.

Lydia, who had already left for Darcy's house, obviously didn't know that her sister had dealt with Miss Caroline again.

If Caroline knew that Lydia had gone to Darcy's house, she would probably be so angry that she would directly fight with the Bennett family.

And Caroline just came to whisper how bad the place they lived in was, and left after a while.

In itself, Jane has always had such a lenient attitude towards her friend, and has always justified her behavior, but after this conversation, Jane can no longer deceive herself, because Caroline's attitude has clearly shown her position.

Because Caroline only wanted to talk to Jane alone, and she didn't want to see the others at all, because Elizabeth knew nothing about their conversation.

As soon as Caroline left, Jane sat on the sofa for a long time. Seeing Caroline's impatient expression, Elizabeth, who sensed something was wrong, walked in. Sure enough, she saw her sister with a dejected look on her face.

"Lizzie, I have to admit that what you said is right." Jane's voice was a little frustrated: "I believe that in some aspects, Lydia and you are both very good, especially in the point of knowing people. I didn't listen to my advice at all, so in the face of Caroline, you and Lydia won, but I failed."

Elizabeth saw her somewhat repentant sister, saw her sad look, and felt a little pain for her in her heart. However, when she turned around and thought about it, it was because of Caroline Bingley's undisguised attitude that it made Jane It's a good thing that you won't be deceived again.

If Caroline Bingley had assumed an ambiguous attitude as before, Jane might continue to trust her so foolishly.

To some extent, Caroline's stick was a good one.

Elizabeth planned to talk to Lydia about Jane when she came back.

Although Lydia felt a little strange that she didn't see anyone these days, but judging by her recent performance, Elizabeth felt a little relieved that she would handle her own affairs.

Jane chattered over there, and Elizabeth comforted her a few more words, but she didn't expect that Mrs. Gardiner also brought her a shocking news.

Although Elizabeth had expressed doubts about Wickham, she still believed in him after all, but Mrs. Gardiner called her aside with a mysterious expression and revealed a piece of news to her.

After Mrs. Gardiner had a conversation with Wickham last time, she felt that the more she thought about it, the more wrong it seemed, so she asked her friend to help her find out about Wickham. thing.

"That Mr. Wickham, recently...had a hot fight with a lady." Mrs. Gardener gently reminded her niece: "That Miss Jin is plain-looking, but she has a dowry of ten thousand pounds."

Elizabeth thought that the words that Wickham said to her with all his heart and soul must have some sincerity in them, but now, she heard from her aunt that he was pursuing other young ladies.

This made her a little ashamed, but quickly restrained her emotions.

"Don't worry, I have nothing to do with him or her." Elizabeth's mind was spinning quickly, and her eyes became sharp after fading the slight favor she had for Wickham.

But when she heard from her aunt that the lady was plain and had only a dowry of ten thousand pounds, she felt no pain in her heart about what Wickham had brought her.

If it wasn't for the property issue, then Wickham probably wouldn't like that lady now, what he likes is just the lady's dowry.

Although Elizabeth seems to be very shrewd in Charlotte's marriage, she believes that the marriage contract is based on material foundations, but the most important thing is feelings.

However, she was not too impressed by Wickham's performance.

Because she has no right to accuse him of anything, on the contrary, his actions are understandable, and Wickham must have gone through a very difficult decision before making this choice.

Thinking about it this way, this is a sensible and reasonable move. Isn't the greatest charm of that lady just to make Wickham a sudden windfall?

In this way, Elizabeth could bless Wickham's happiness.

She told her aunt that she hadn't been moved by Wickham at all, and if she had, she would absolutely be disgusted at the mention of his name at this moment.

"In contrast, I don't have any hatred for that Miss Jin, and I am very willing to regard her as a good girl."

Thus both sisters had their own concerns in the afternoon, and in the evening, before Lydia returned, they received a letter.

The letter was from Mr. Bennet, explaining that their cousin Collins was going to marry Miss Luska in the near future, so they hoped they would come back as soon as possible.

Jane and Elizabeth were not very interested in staying in London at the moment. After seeing this letter, they decided to go back tomorrow, and Mrs. Gardiner also expressed their support for their idea.

Then there was only Lydia's opinion left, and Elizabeth planned to wait for her to come back and had to talk to her.

So when Lydia got home, what awaited her was one piece of information bombardment after another.

Well, Jane recognized Caroline's true face, which is good, and Lydia was quite relieved.

What?Elizabeth also knew that Wickham was not a good person?This is simply fantastic!I just didn't expect Wickham to hook up with that poor Miss Jin so early.

Lydia wondered if she should remind her, after all, a scumbag would ruin her life.

As for whether a woman in love would listen to others, Lydia was a little worried.

When she heard the last news, she was still a little overwhelmed.

"Mr. Collins is going to hold a wedding with Charlotte?" Lydia was a little shocked, apparently not expecting the two to be so fast.

"Yes, that's what my father said in his letter, and it's absolutely true." Elizabeth said to her sister, seeing her shocked look, she couldn't help but smiled: "They are not young, so the two sides will naturally decide The sooner the better."

At this moment today, Elizabeth somewhat understood Charlotte's original choice.

Of course, in the second half of her life, apart from material affluence, it is estimated that she will be very boring when facing people like Collins.

Elizabeth gave very good reasons for leaving, and Lydia was naturally embarrassed to say that she wanted to stay in London alone. As for... the thing she promised Darcy tonight, if the two sisters seem to be broken in love now If she said it under the circumstances, she probably wouldn't even think about it tonight or tomorrow.

So just as she had established a good relationship with Darcy, she had no choice but to agree, and after watching Elizabeth finish complaining, she hurried back to her room and wrote a letter at night.

She sealed the edges and planned to ask the coachman to bring it to him early the next morning.
