[Pride and Prejudice] Wisdom

A person she had never heard of wrote to herself, and Lydia wondered if the person had sent it by mistake.

However, she checked her name over and over several times before she was sure that the letter had indeed been sent to the wrong place.

Then this is strange.

Why did he write to himself?

Judging from the paper and the lingering fragrance of the paper, this gentleman must have a good background, at least in terms of money, he is very well off.

Curious, she opened the envelope and pulled out the letter paper inside.

The entire text was filled with a long paragraph of praise, Lydia touched the goosebumps on her body, endured it, and then continued to pick up the letter and read it.

That Mr. Violet Keynes praised her fiercely in the letter, as if he had exhausted all his life skills.

Seeing the back, Lydia probably knew who this gentleman was.

This unknown gentleman wants to cooperate with her?

Lydia frowned and put the letter back. She didn't understand why she wanted to cooperate with her.

If nobles in these eras want to cooperate with someone, it must be profitable.

Lydia rubbed her chin. Since this gentleman picked up her manuscript and hoped to cooperate with her, it proved that her paintings were still valuable.

This made Lydia a little excited, but she was a little puzzled why he didn't directly take it for himself and came to notify her.

It is self-evident how much risk you have to take in this era when you cooperate with a woman.

Unfortunately, before she could think about it, she heard a knock on the door.

"Lydia." Darcy knocked on the girl's door in a low voice, "Mrs. Bennet asked me to ask you to go downstairs for lunch."

Lydia recovered from the cooperation and remembered Darcy again.

Unavoidably, she felt a little depressed, and when she opened the door, she saw a dazed Darcy looking at her.

She blushed suddenly, turned her head and said to him, "Let's go."

She walked to the front first, Darcy smiled slightly, and followed behind her.

Before he went upstairs, Mr. Bennet had told him that he had told Lydia about that incident, so Lydia's reaction was expected by Darcy.

It's just that she didn't expect Lydia to be so cute even when she was angry.

Darcy's eyes were full of rippling tenderness.

The two of them came down one after the other, and everyone knew it clearly.

Seeing his good friend Darcy's appearance, Mr. Bingley seemed to have figured out something.

He turned his head to ask Jane who was beside him in surprise. The two exchanged a few words, and Bingley immediately put on a blessed smile on his face.

Different from others, Bingley has always been very dependent on Darcy in some important matters. He also worried that if the two of them each had wives, they would have a lot of life, but if they could become brother-in-law with Darcy in the future, it would be great. It couldn't be better.

Bingley looked at Lydia with satisfaction, and secretly gave her a thumbs up in his heart.

Great job, he thought.

Lydia sat down with great pressure against the eyes of everyone, she felt the air around her pause, and then a familiar breath began to invade her surroundings.

Darcy sat beside Lydia under the expected gaze of all, and was himself pleased with it.

Before lunch started under Mrs. Bennet's expectant voice, the door opened suddenly, and a person that no one had ever thought of stepped into the door of the Bennet family.

Madame Catherine de Boer's face was gloomy, as if dripping water, she had always told others to pay attention to etiquette, she didn't notice her impolite behavior at all at this moment.

Mrs. Bennet looked puzzled, and just about to speak, she heard Mr. Darcy, the good son-in-law in her heart, call the woman aunt.

Darcy himself was very surprised at Lady Catherine's outspokenness. In his impression, Lady Catherine had always been a representative of elegance and decency.

What was it that made her look so angry?

Lydia and Elizabeth gestured to her politely, and then asked their sisters about the name of the lady, and then Jane and the others greeted the lady one after another.

"It seems that I didn't come at the right time." Madam Catherine ignored them, looked at the cold dishes that had been placed on the table, and only laughed at the Bennet's food in her heart.

When Mrs. Bennet heard about the identity of this lady, her attitude took a big turn. She should have been flattered that such a noble person came to her home, but because of Darcy and Bingley, she would not As excited as ever.

But Lady Catherine's presence would also be a great honor to her.

"Not at all, Mrs. De Boer. It would be a great honor for you to dine in the humble house." Mrs. Bennet said courteously.

Madam Catherine raised the corners of her mouth coldly, and was silent for a while, everyone became a little embarrassed, and then she said in a blunt tone: "Miss Lydia, don't mind if we talk."

Darcy glanced at Lydia, and rejected her aunt's request for her: "I don't think it's appropriate."

Hearing Darcy's words, Catherine became even more angry.

"I'm asking about Miss Lydia, Darcy." She said, turning her eyes to Lydia: "Miss Lydia, I think you must be doing well. This is probably your mother."

Mrs. Bennet was nothing to Catherine's critical eye.

"Yes, I'm doing well." Lydia stood up and looked at her. Due to the height difference, Lydia looked somewhat condescending.

Anyway, Madam Catherine can be regarded as an elder. Although Lydia doesn't know what she wants to do, it's not good for her to lose face.

"Then, Lady Catherine, what do you want to talk to me about?"

"Miss Lydia, are you sure you want me to speak out in front of Darcy on this occasion?" Lady Catherine asked back.

Lydia thought that she had nothing to shame, but at this moment she said vaguely that if she went out with her, there would be some kind of moth.

She narrowed her eyes and said, "I don't know what you're talking about."

"I don't know?" Madam Catherine smiled angrily, and she couldn't care less about etiquette. She was so angry that she started to shoot at Lydia.

"You can't fail to understand what I'm here for, Miss Lydia."

"What purpose?"

"Although your sister Jane is going to be engaged to Bingley, I am very happy and wish them both well, but Miss Lydia." Her tone became more serious: "But you can't get engaged to Darcy."

"Why not." Darcy said.

Mrs. Catherine said in a deep voice: "Darcy, as your elder, I think I have every reason to ask about your marriage."

"Yes, you can indeed ask." Darcy said in a respectful tone.

"So, you are going to be engaged to this country girl in silence?"

Mrs. Bennet silently wanted to say that this was not the country, but Mrs. Catherine's fighting was so fierce that she dared not speak out at all.

Madam Catherine chuckled: "Miss Lydia, if you have any conscience, you shouldn't seduce my nephew."

"Lydia is not the kind of person you said." Darcy said with a frown.

Lydia also chuckled.

This lady's brain power is really admirable.

Bingley also assisted Darcy.

"I don't think there's anything wrong with the Miss Bennets, Lady Catherine."

Catherine said excitedly: "But he is already engaged to my daughter!"

? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

The first thought that came to Lydia's mind was shit.

Darcy also seemed inexplicable; "When was it?" Why don't I know?

Darcy was really confused.

Everyone also looked at Mrs. Catherine strangely.

Mrs. Catherine hesitated for a while before she said: "Actually, you probably wouldn't know it. When you were still babies, you had already made a lifelong mutual agreement. This is the wish of both mothers. "

So the next thing is that Darcy will have a series of stories for his mother's last wish.

Lydia felt that she could make up [-] words in her brain.

Mr. Darcy probably also felt a little unspeakable to his aunt, so he walked over and whispered something to Lady Catherine.

Then Mrs. Catherine gave Lydia a bitter look, and left Bennett's house full of regret.

Before leaving, I didn't forget to close the door loudly and childishly.

Darcy, who returned to the dining table, naturally faced the curious gazes of the people at the table.

But as if nothing happened, he turned his head to look at the curious Lydia.

"What's wrong?" he said.

"What did you just say to Lady Catherine?"

"Secret." Darcy laid out the napkin lightly.

Lydia was tickled in her heart, no matter how she guessed, she would never guess that Mrs. Catherine would leave on her own initiative.

It was incredible for Lady Catherine's personality.

"Do you really want to know?" Darcy asked Lydia with serious eyes.

Lydia nodded quickly to express her excitement.

"Then, I have a question for you too."

Lydia quickly asked: "Tell me!"

"So... would you like to go to Pemberley with me?" Darcy's eyes were dark and bright.
