19. Chapter XIX

Miss Jane Bennett's health was also a little too weak, and it dragged on for seven or eight days, and she did not see a complete recovery.

Elizabeth wrote to her family, and when Mrs. Bennett heard the news, she came with her little daughters to see what was going on with their poor Jiying.

Luisa explained their purpose, saying that the Bennett family would like her to recover slowly, so that she can stay here for a while!

Caroline tugged at the hem of Louisa's skirt in embarrassment, because Charles didn't have a very right expression on it, although he also hoped that Miss Jane Bennett would stay for a while, after all, she was a beauty, and it would be good to see more.

But the sick and weak beauty is not the mainstream of aesthetics now, no matter how much Charles likes Jane's appearance, she has seen too much like this, and she has begun to have a helpless feeling.

Especially in the face of her upcoming relatives, he deeply felt the malice of the world.

After they had breakfast, Mrs. Bennett took Lydia and Kitty to Netherfield Manor, and sure enough, as Louisa said, Bennett cried out in worry when she heard that her daughter had been ill for several days, and then she was relieved to hear the doctor who had been called in that she had begun to get better, but insisted on keeping her here, because Jane had not fully recovered, and what if she relapsed?!

Louisa was dismissive of this, but because the doctor who had been invited also thought that moving the patient was indeed not conducive to recovery, not to mention the fact that the distance between the two families was more than three miles, Mrs. Bennett was overjoyed, and she was sure that her daughter would marry Charles Bentley.

Caroline graciously invited them to dinner, and Jane had already eaten a special patient meal in her room, but Elizabeth had not, and sat down together in the dining room of Netherfield Manor.

"Thank you so much! There is no way to get Jane home now, she is sick like this, it is really distressing to look at, and Dr. Jones thinks so too! Mrs. Bennett was idle, desperately trying to ask for advice from the people at the table.

Because Charles had said before that he hoped that Mrs. Bennett would see that Miss Jane's illness was not so severe. This is a polite remark, and anyone will think that parents must want their children to be well, and he will only give her relief when he is completely polite.

But Mrs. Bennett was completely mistaken about this, and she was afraid that the people of the Bentley family would drive away her poor Jiying.

Charles nodded stunnedly, "Let Miss Jane leave now?" No, no, no, you're misunderstood, madam, she's really not easy to move around right now, isn't she, Caroline. ”

Someone who stuffed a piece of apple in his mouth was suddenly cue and trembled in fright, the apple was stuck in his throat, and he couldn't go up or down, Caroline was almost suffocated to death, and her face was suddenly extremely different.

She stroked her chest and glared at Charles, "Yes, madam, don't worry, we will take care of it." ”

Darcy sat at Caroline's right hand, his face tense, his eyes only on his plate, and he did not seem at all interested in what was happening on the side, and Mrs. Bennett was very dissatisfied with this, she had long thought that such an arrogant man could be a friend of Mr. Bingley!

"Our Jane has been such a gentle person since before, and I have never seen her so gentle to the extreme! Lydia and Elizabeth are also very good, but they are not as good as Jane. Ignoring Kitty's disgruntled cries, Mrs. Bennett said, "This manor is so beautiful!" Look at the scenery, the architecture, the garden, I dare say the cobblestones here are fatally attractive to me! Mr. Bentley, you're going to have to stay longer! ”

Seeing that both his friends and his sisters were bowing their heads to eat and not talking, he had no choice but to greet him with a few words, "Yes, madam, but I'm a person who always does whatever comes to mind, but I'm very satisfied with this place now." ”

"You're going to love it! The countryside also has the beauty of the countryside, and the people here are very nice to you! Mrs. Bennett said smugly.

Darcy glanced at her and said, "Even though the people here are good, they are still too closed off to know anything, and they are monotonous and unenlightened. ”

The words were for Charles, and in the past two days, Darcy and Charles had a long discussion about buying land and renting a house, Charles preferred here, and Darcy preferred to go back to London, although in the end there was no result, Charles also said that he would ask for Caroline's opinion.

Miss? Darcy frowned inwardly, he always felt that the ladies just had to be good ladies, and he didn't think it was a good thing for the ladies to understand this.

Although Charles repeatedly insisted that you should not despise my sister, Darcy still felt that it was not good. He didn't despise Miss Caroline, on the contrary, it was precisely because he cared about this young lady that he couldn't help but care about this kind of thing.

Hopefully Miss Caroline will understand.

Mrs. Bennett, however, did not think so, and she felt that the arrogant gentleman had begun to show off his family background again, and by the way belittled them, so arrogant, so unpleasant!

"You're not right! People in the countryside will not be monotonous, where is the occlusion?! London, apart from a little more shops and public places, is not much good compared to the countryside, where is the countryside?! I still like our ...... here Do you say yes, Mr. Bingley? ”

Darcy paused, then looked at her for a moment before withdrawing his gaze. Louisa looked at the loud lady in astonishment, shook her head, and walked away from the dining room. Caroline, on the other hand, said that she wanted to eat a little too much today, and simply stayed away from the center of their conversation.

The most pitiful of all was probably Charles, Mrs. Bennett couldn't wait to get his approval, so he had to nod dryly, "I do like to walk around the country, and relaxing is indeed a good choice." Of course, I can't part with London, which has a lot more than shops and parks, and it's very different from the countryside. ”

Mrs. Bennett glared at the gentleman in disbelief, and he denied his words, and her chest heaved twice, and she decided not to contradict him, for the sake of Mr. Bingley's rather kind face.

She decided in her heart that these people were arrogant people, but she still said stiffly, "I don't think it's any different, and I know a lot of things in the country, twenty-four families will communicate with us on weekdays, oh my God, we talk a lot!" As long as it is a family in Longburn, if there is a dead person who gets married, we are the first to know! She craned her neck proudly, like a victorious hen, "Ha, and Sir William Lucas!" ”

"He and his daughter were kind men, and of course Sir Lucas was a very fashionable gentleman, and his upbringing was remarkable, and he would say a few words to anyone he met! - It's not at all like those gentlemen who think they're great! ”

Well, this offended Mr. Darcy completely, and he walked in Luisa's footsteps and left the dining room.

Seeing this, Caroline also followed, irresponsibly throwing the task of continuing to accompany the guests to her brother.

-- Twenty years of professional backing.

They went upstairs, and Caroline went to Darcy's study.

The handsome man's face was a little bad at the moment, and he was obviously disgusted by what had just happened. Caroline thought he was upset by Mrs. Bennett's stupid answers, but Darcy said, "Miss Caroline, do you still think Charles and Miss Jane Bennett are compatible?" ”

“…… What the? Caroline froze.

"With all due respect, miss, is your brother really a match for that young lady? If he marries Miss Bennett, then he is responsible to the whole Bennett family, so ...... Not very decent family, the breadth of vision is not high, the Bentley family and the Bennett family are as deep as the Thames, miss, do you really think there is no problem with this? ”

Caroline was a little frightened, and she found that she was not very comfortable with such a serious Mr. Darcy.

"No ......"

"Yes, I want to say no too." Darcy frowned, "If it were me, I don't think I would be able to accept a relative like that, it would be a disaster." He paused, "Miss, because it's you, I talk like this, so I hope you can have a good talk with Charles." ”

Caroline nodded, "You're right, sir, I didn't think it through. ”

"And I don't think Miss Jane likes Charles as much as Charles." He thought of the shy young lady and frowned without a trace, "Miss Caroline, what do you say?" ”

“…… I think you have a lot of point. A certain lady replied honestly, "I think Charles should have such thoughts, right?" ”

As soon as the words ended, the man they had spoken of appeared at Darcy's door.

"Hey! Darcy, Caroline! You say, how can a man be so talkative? Or talking about something I can't answer at all! He took a deep breath and could barely hold back his sigh.

Charles stepped aside and took a sip of the cup on the table, and said with a wry smile, "I heard what you said, so I have to agree with you, although I think Mrs. Bennett is a lovely lady, but I really can't bear her enthusiasm." ”

Caroline and Mr. Darcy looked at each other, Charles, is this a change of sex?

"But Miss Jane Bennett is really the most beautiful girl I have ever seen, after all, you can't stop me from pursuing beauty, but I'm a little ...... now Suspicious? He shrugged, "Actually, the countryside isn't necessarily as good as I thought, right?" ”

Caroline: ......

Darcy:......

This guy took the wrong medicine, right?!
