[Pride and Prejudice] Wisdom

Before the Bennet family's carriage came to a complete stop, Kitty screamed uncontrollably and pulled Lydia out of the carriage excitedly. Mrs. Bennet happily followed them with her skirts up.

Lydia was staggered by Kitty's sudden movement, but fortunately she stabilized her footsteps in time, so that no tragedy happened.

Kitty turned her head back with a smile on her face, and seeing Lydia's solemn face, she couldn't help trembling in her heart. Although she said that she pulled her down just to make a joke with Lydia, but look Looking at Lydia's cold face.Her good temper these days has almost made Kitty forget that Lydia also has a temper.

"Are you alright... Lydia?" She asked with a guilty conscience, and the flames of excitement at the beginning gradually faded a lot.

Lydia pursed her lips and nodded casually at her. Although it didn't do her any harm, the feeling just now still left her with lingering fears, which made her not in the mood to deal with the small situation all the time. Keep kitty out.

She left Kitty and walked into the hall.

Kitty pouted, thinking that Lydia is really stingy, isn't it just a joke!

The Bennett family came a little later, and the atmosphere in the hall of the Luska house was already lively. The young ladies gathered together to chat and laugh, and the central figure of the topic was undoubtedly that Bentley from the north. sir.

The hall was full of people, and there were a lot of people. Although it was a country dance, there were quite a few people. Lydia slipped through the middle and declined a few invitations to the first dance that said, "I'm not a good person." I found a remote place and sat down, intending to watch the first encounter between the hero and heroine, so as to soothe my lonely and boring heart.

"Look, they're here." An excited voice sounded, and the eyes of many young ladies lit up, staring at the group of people who opened the curtain and walked in.

This tense atmosphere of trying to catch a rich man even made Lydia's sitting posture a lot more dignified.

A careful person counted the number of people and breathed a sigh of relief: "He only brought five people."

The young lady who was unmarried and had high expectations for this rich young master couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

And Lydia's gaze was fixed on the young man standing beside Mr. Bingley.

The light was a bit dim, and the man was really tall, so Lydia squinted her eyes and couldn't see his appearance clearly.

Maybe it was because her eyes were too focused and devoted, the man turned his body slightly and looked at the source of the eyes.

As soon as she touched those dark eyes, Lydia panicked, sat up straight quickly, and looked to the other side.

Just when a man came up to chat with her, Lydia quickly answered a few words, and smiled generously as if nothing had happened.

Winter was dazed by this smile, and worked harder to please this charming lady.

Darcy looked over there, his handsome brows frowned.

"What's the matter, Darcy?" Caroline Bentley, who had been paying close attention to him, naturally did not miss the change in his expression and asked.

"Nothing." His voice was low.

The host, Sir Luska, saw that today's highlight was coming, so he couldn't help but compliment him, say a few words of promise, and introduce his wife and daughters.

Bentley's eyebrows and eyes were curved, and he was so gentle that people couldn't help but feel good about him.

"This is my two sisters, and my sister's husband." Mr. Bingley introduced in a soft voice, and pointed to the tall and silent man beside him with a smile: "This is my friend, Fei William Darcy."

After hearing the identity of the visitor, the ladies began to boast about their group again with a smile.

"Mr. Bingley is really handsome, his manners are decent, and he treats people kindly." Lydia guessed that the lady's unfinished intentions required Mr. Bingley to have an annual income of five thousand pounds.

Another young lady continued her words with a coquettish smile: "Yes, his two sisters are also born beautiful and noble."

Although they all looked friendly on the surface, there was inevitably a rivalry in private to see with whom Mr. Bingley danced his first dance.

Lydia sat and listened to their conversation. The tune of the music just started, and the man next to her invited her again.

"Miss Bennet, would you mind having a dance with me?" Winter tried to put on a handsome look. He knew that young ladies would like this, although he didn't care about this classmate. Miss Te's dowry, which was only a thousand pounds, was despised, but her good face was enough to offset the sighs brought by the poor dowry.

He looked at the skin under her delicate face under the candlelight, and he couldn't help reaching out his hand to touch the smooth and tender skin.

"Thank you for your kindness." Lydia lowered her head, revealing a slender neck, which made Winter's eyes brighten again.

"I'm afraid I won't be able to dance with you for the first time. My foot started to twist accidentally." Her tone was apologetic, and she spoke slowly, with the sweetness of a girl in her tone. Talking is undoubtedly a pleasure to the listening ear.

Even Lydia felt that her previous bluffs were a waste of her good voice when she heard her own voice.

Naturally, Winter was no exception. He looked at the girl with some pity. Although Lydia had a surprisingly bad reputation in the past, after meeting her, Winter had to be skeptical about those rumors. , it can only be said that a good face is good.

"It's okay, but it seems that you are going to miss a wonderful dance." Winter comforted her, and Lydia apologized to him again and again, and then sent the man who was worried and had no place to put it away .

Since there were fewer male guests than female guests, many ladies were sitting on the sidelines watching the dancers in the arena. She looked to the side, and her second sister, Elizabeth, was naturally among the group of people.

After working for a long time, Lydia stood up with some pain in her buttocks, and walked towards her. People scurrying around in the venue almost tripped her, but fortunately she went around wisely.

Lydia, who was looking forward to watching the picky encounter of the first heroine in Austin's novel, naturally did not expect that there was a gaze behind her looking at her in surprise and disgust.

Mr. Bingley, who has attracted the attention of many people, invited the host's daughter Charlotte Luska to dance for the first time. He is cheerful and lively by nature. Unlike his sister Caroline, he is full of kindness to everyone. Yes, naturally every dance is perfect.

Just after the tune ended, Bingley wiped the sweat from his brow. His green eyes were curved and collided with Jane's. Both of them looked away shyly.

He licked his lips nervously, and walked towards his friend who was left out in the cold.

"Darcy, you are always like this no matter where you are." Bingley persuaded him: "Come on, go on stage, you will find that dancing is such a joyful thing."

Bingley thought of Jane just now, which made the light in his eyes shine even more. When he saw Jane, he was captured by her gentle and pure temperament. He dared to swear to God that Jane was his The most beautiful person I've ever seen.

Unlike Bentley, Darcy was very satisfied with his current situation. He glanced at Bentley who was full of joy. Bentley was not good at hiding his emotions, so Darcy could see through him at a glance. He looked at Bentley a little more gently. , to strangers who are not familiar with him, he is naturally indifferent.

This kind of personality will inevitably make him a hat of being arrogant and difficult to get along with. Compared with Bingley's popularity, he is simply ignored. Even if someone looks for him, he will be attracted by him Frightened away by the low air pressure, which made his reputation even worse.

But Darcy didn't care at all, he frowned: "You know, Bentley, I never want to dance with these people I don't know well, it makes me unbearable."

"Darcy, you have to know how lovely these ladies are. You see, some of them are really beautiful."

"Your partner is the only beautiful girl in the hall." Darcy said rigidly, looking impartially at the eldest lady of the Bennett family who was walking towards her sister.

Hearing the person he likes being praised by a good friend, Bingley couldn't help but feel better: "Oh, she is the most beautiful girl I have ever seen." Miss.

"However, her sisters are also very cute. Come on Darcy, let me tell Jane to introduce you to her, okay?" Bingley persuaded him without any effort.

Darcy turned around and turned towards Lydia, who had a smirk on her lips. Seeing her intent to look back, she quickly avoided her eyes and looked at her friend: "What are you talking about?" One?"

Seeing that he actually asked, Bingley couldn't help being very excited: "It's her second sister Elizabeth." Naturally, Bingley also saw the girl who was sitting between the two of them, who was no different than Jane, and he It immediately occurred to her that this was Lydia, her youngest sister.

Although they only danced two dances, the two hearts that want to know each other are enough to touch each other thoroughly.

"Although her little sister Lydia Bennett is cuter, I think Elizabeth is more suitable for you due to age considerations. I think you two will have more conversations together. What do you think? Darcy." Bingley suggested to him excitedly.

Darcy recalled that when he glanced at Lydia just now, he caught a glimpse of the woman next to him, and said lightly: "Although her appearance is passable, she hasn't touched my heart with her beauty."
