Chapter 1875: Pride You Prejudice (18)
The Wickhams are enjoying a sailing trip on a boat they have bought.
Oh no, to be exact, it's Anne who is really laid-back, and Wickham is a little embarrassed.
He was a militia member, barely an officer, but he was a little seasick.
Wickham is not a landlubber, he can swim, after all, as the godson of old Mr. Darcy, he grew up in a wealthy family and was well educated.
He is good at horseback riding, swimming, fencing, hunting and other activities.
But swimming on land and floating in the sea are definitely two different concepts.
The feeling of not being able to put your feet on the ground and floating on the surface of the sea like a fallen leaf is really bad.
On his first day of sailing, Wickham threw up in the dark.
After a few days of sailing, he was like a green vegetable that had lost its moisture, wilted, weak, and without any trace of his former demeanor.
However, Anne did not relent, Wickham is a time bomb, if he is not taken with him, he will definitely borrow the name of "Lydia" and do his best to suck the blood of the Bennets and even Mr. Darcy!
Moreover, Anne knew in her heart that Mr. Darcy would soon propose to Elizabeth.
Then came their fairytale wedding of the century.
Anne didn't want Wickham, the disgusting and despised, Darcy family, to show up at Mr. Darcy's wedding.
After all, Georgiana, who was once hurt by Wickham, will also attend her brother's wedding.
Anne had never met Georgiana, but when she read the original book, she knew that she was a delicate, kind little girl.
was almost abducted by Wickham back then, and it was the biggest nightmare of her life.
Anne lives on her own, feeling that even a strong person like her would definitely not want to see Wickham. Anne herself was disgusted.
And for Georgiana, it's fear.
Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy's wedding should be happy and fulfilling, and there should be no disharmony.
Unfortunately, Wickham is the biggest discordant!
However, Wickham is Lydia's husband and becomes a relative of Mr. Darcy.
No matter how much Mr. Darcy hated this man, he couldn't get rid of it completely.
Mr. Darcy could not get rid of such a superb and hated relative, but he loved Elizabeth so much that he could only be torn between two sides.
Elizabeth will have a harder time than Mr. Darcy because Lydia is her own sister.
Mr. Darcy could have had to endure all this, but for her sake—
Anne didn't want Elizabeth to be embarrassed, and she didn't want "Lydia" and Wickham to become the fuse of future conflicts between the Darcy couple, so she simply stayed away.
Her definition of Wickham is very clear, and this is the little white face she raised.
She can give him money and give him a comfortable and enjoyable life, but she won't let him affect the Bennett family.
Anne did this, of course, to protect Bennet's family, but more importantly, to complete the mission.
Well, in the original Lydia's requirements, it is to live a life that does what she wants and respects her heart.
And what is her nature?
Selfish, willful, vain, hedonistic.
She does love Wickham, but her love is too superficial.
All she loves is Wickham's looks, humor, and the envious gaze of Wickham after she has it.
This kind of love is very fragile and short-lived.
In the ending of the original book, there is not much to say about the Wickhams.
Just to say that they move a lot, and Lydia writes to Jane and Elizabeth from time to time asking for money, as if the couple is having a bad time.
Of course, for Anne, they are also destined to have a bad time.
In addition to Wickham being a gambler, Lydia is not a real person.
She was a copy of Mrs. Bennet, equally ignorant and frivolous.
But she did not have the luck of Mrs. Bennet, who deceived a middle-class gentleman with her beauty, and gave birth to five daughters.
Life was rich and stable, and Mrs. Bennet's personality did not change much.
It's still so superficial and ridiculous.
Lydia was even worse, she was even the one who was deceived.
Because of the so-called "love", she and Wickham became husband and wife.
Wickham won't do his duty as a husband, and Lydia won't be a good wife.
The impulse to love will soon pass, and Lydia is definitely not an infatuated, long-term person.
The wickham she loved, a handsome, funny-talking officer, was not a bastard who was chased by creditors.
Once Wickham is no longer decent, the first to change his mind will definitely be Lydia.
They may not be able to get a divorce, but they will selfishly plan for each other.
And when Anne came in and became Lydia, while maintaining Lydia's personality, she also had to take into account the desire of her fellow Lydia to become the most dazzling daughter of the Bennett family.
The most dazzling daughter?
Either you have the power or you have the money.
Power or something, you need to operate for a long time.
Money, but much easier.
She fully integrated into Lydia's character, following Lydia's nature, feeling that once Lydia had money, she might not abandon Wickham as a husband, but she would never just guard this one man.
Lydia is already selfish and debauched, and if she has capital, she is even more unscrupulous.
In the name of Mrs. Wickham, to raise other little lovers, or to flirt with men of all temperaments and demeanors, these are all possible things Lydia can do.
Mr. Wickham, on the other hand, will only be one of her lovers.
Of course, because of the difference in identity, Wickham is somewhat special in Lydia's heart.
But, that's all!
Therefore, Anne did not try to cut off with Wickham, but took him with her and raised him like a pet.
A big stick and red dates strategy was smashed, and Wickham completely gave up resisting the female tyrannosaurus of "Lydia".
Even at this moment, he was holding on to the railing and spitting out bile at the sea, he did not have the courage to say to Anne: "Let me get off the boat, dear, please!"
Wickham was really scared by his wife, just yesterday, a crew member thought that he had come to the sea and wanted to blackmail the captain of "Lydia", but he was shot in the head by "Lydia"!
Kill! Shoot and kill in full view!
Even the man who used to be an officer and touched a gun was scared to the point that his legs went weak!
He completely understood that he was not marrying an ignorant and stupid squire poor lady at all, but a murderous female devil.
Woo, that is, now that the pirates have declined, if it is still the former era of pirates, with the ferocity of "Lydia", she will definitely become a famous female pirate!
