"According to Maria herself, she finished reading everything she should have seen, so she put down her books and went back to her normal life." Charlotte laughed, "Maria is a genius, a real genius. ”

Mr. Darcy was noncommittal, but admired Charlotte's sisterhood for her sister.

The two of them were chatting when they saw a young and beautiful young lady walking towards them.

Mr. Darcy said, "I think this young lady has come to you, and she has lost her company first." ”

With that, Mr. Darcy turned to leave.

But a few seconds later, Miss Pretty approached Charlotte and asked, "Why did you talk to that arrogant Mr. Darcy?" ”

This beautiful young lady is the second lady of the Bennet family, Charlotte's good friend Elizabeth, who is a lively and intelligent girl, but a little stubborn.

Charlotte said, "Mr. Darcy is a good man. ”

Elizabeth exclaimed in a low voice, "He's good there?" Arrogant, arrogant, rude, and simply hated to death. Only if you have a good temper can you talk to him. ”

Charlotte was surprised: "How did Mr. Darcy mess with you?" ”

Elizabeth snorted and told Charlotte about her feud with Mr. Darcy: Mr. Darcy judged her to be "okay".

"This man is so proud." Elizabeth said.

Charlotte smiled and spoke for Mr. Darcy: "Such a good young man, with good family and wealth, and better than others in everything, no wonder he thinks he is sorry, according to me, he has the right to be proud." ”

Moreover, as far as her contact with Mr. Darcy is concerned, Mr. Darcy may be arrogant but gentlemanly, and he is a very polite young man.

Elizabeth said, "That's true. If he hadn't offended my pride, I could easily forgive his pride. ”

Elizabeth has a pair of very smart and beautiful eyes, and although her appearance is not as good as that of her sister Jane, she is beautiful enough and attractive enough. Although a certain gentleman had a bad impression of Elizabeth at first, in the subsequent contact, he was gradually attracted by the eyes of this young lady and became interested in this young lady.

At the same time, Mr. Darcy has a good relationship with Charlotte. When they're together, they're always able to talk. And every time he chatted with Charlotte, Mr. Darcy felt very happy. Mr. Bingley's sister, Miss Catherine, liked Mr. Darcy, and she regarded the beautiful Elizabeth as a rival in love and was often targeted, while Charlotte was not looked at by Miss Catherine because of her ordinary appearance, and was less targeted.

Mr. Bingley seems to have been completely smitten by Jane, and the people of Meriton are envious and jealous to say that the Bennets were lucky and fell into a golden beetle son-in-law.

The arrival of the group from Nizhfer Manor brought a lot of talk and interest to the calm Meritun.

During this time, a gentleman named Alexander visited Lucas's house. This Mr. Alexander was the man Sir Lucas and Maria had rescued on their way back from London. Mr. Alexander's injuries were all healed, so he personally visited the Lucas family.

The Lucas family warmly entertained Mr. Alexander, invited him to a full meal, and the delicious food also won over Mr. Alexander.

After sending Mr. Alexander away, everyone opened the gift given by Mr. Alexander and exclaimed for a while.

"Oh my God, Mr. Alexander is such a generous man." Mrs. Lucas exclaimed with joy as she looked at her own gemstone necklace.

"Mr. Alexander must be a rich man." Sir Lucas said with a snuff box from the East.

"But Mr. Alexander's appearance does not show that he is so rich." Albert said.

Theresa said: "People are low-key. You see, the servants who came with Mr. Alexander are all still imposing, and they are different from the servants of other people's families. I think Mr. Alexander must be a great nobleman. ”

Alston said, "Dad, you should have a good relationship with Mr. Alexander." ”

Mr. Lucas said, "Son, people like Mr. Alexander are not so easy to get along with. This time, Mr. Alexander gave us such a precious gift to end our kindness to him. If we had relied on our kindness to go up again, Mr. Alexander would not have been as easy to talk as he is today. ”

Maria spoke, "Daddy is right. We've got all the benefits, don't covet more. ”

Mary said as she went back to her room with a pile of books from the East. I have to say that the gift from Mr. Alexander was so much to her liking.

……

The Meriton grew more and more lively, and after a group of soldiers in red uniforms, another guest came to the Bennet house, who was said to be Miss Bennet's cousin, a stupid and unaware fat man. But although this man is stupid, he is not bad in heart. He was the heir to Mr. Bennet's estate, and if he had a bad heart, he could have kicked his wife and daughter out of the Bennet family after Mr. Bennet's death. But Mr. Collins chose one of his five cousins as his wife, so that he could take care of his mother-in-law and sister-in-law in the event of his father-in-law's death. It can be seen that Mr. Collins has a good heart. It's a pity that the Bennets don't understand Mr. Collins' thoughts, and instead look down on him because of his stature and the stupidity he shows.

In subsequent contact, Maria discovered that Mr. Collins was very attentive to Elizabeth, and it seemed that the gentleman had decided to choose Elizabeth as his future wife. Elizabeth, however, despised Mr. Collins very much, and she now had a liking for Mr. Wickham, one of the Mr. Wickham in the red uniform. Mary had no affection for this handsome boy whom everyone praised, and Mary thought that this man was fake, and by the way he looked and spoke pleasantly, Maria could see that this man was of a despicable character. However, she reminded that the Lucas family did not like Wickham very much. It was because Wickham had sought to please Miss King, and at that time Miss King and Auston were going to get engaged.

Maria wanted to warn Elizabeth, but Elizabeth was completely bewitched by Wickham and didn't believe Mary's words, saying too much, and instead she felt that Maria was jealous that she had been favored by Wickham. What could Mary do? Good words are difficult to persuade the dying ghosts, and mercy is not self-exterminating. Maria said in her heart that Elizabeth would definitely suffer in the affairs of Wickham, but she did not know that Elizabeth was the heroine of this world and was protected by heaven and earth, so she would not suffer in the affairs of Wickham.

There was a ball at Nigerfell Manor, and Elizabeth was looking forward to dancing with Wickham at the ball, but Mr. Wickham did not show up.

"I don't think he would have been absent at this time if he hadn't been trying to avoid a certain gentleman here." That's what Wickham's companion told Elizabeth.

Elizabeth concluded that Mr. Wackham's absence had something to do with Mr. Darcy, and was disgusted with Mr. Darcy. When Mr. Darcy came to greet her, Elizabeth had a very bad attitude.

"What's the matter with you? Why did Mr. Darcy come and say hello to you, and you treated him like that? Charlotte asked, confused. She had never seen Elizabeth behave so disrespectfully since she had known her.

"Charlotte, you don't even know how bad Mr. Darcy is. He had done so much to Mr. Wickham that he had prevented Mr. Wickham from coming to the ball. It's so hateful. Elizabeth said.

Charlotte was surprised and asked, "What did Mr. Darcy do?" ”

"You don't know......," Elizabeth relayed Mr. Wickham had told her about Mr. Darcy's "misdeeds."

Charlotte frowned when she heard this, and said, "I don't think Mr. Darcy is such a person, and there may be some misunderstanding in it." ”

"What's the misunderstanding? Mr. Darcy is inherently arrogant and rude, and looks down on people with a lower status than himself. Mr. Wickham was the son of their housekeeper, but he was very fond of old Mr. Darcy. Mr. Darcy was naturally jealous and despised of Mr. Wickham, and would treat Mr. Darcy like that after the death of Mr. Darcy Sr. Elizabeth snorted.

Charlotte shook her head: "I still think there is a problem, as far as I know Mr. Darcy, he is a kind man, a real gentleman, it is absolutely impossible to do such a despicable thing." Litty, you are too arbitrary to believe only Mr. Wickham's side of the story. I think you should know both before you make a conclusion. ”

"Charlotte, why do you always help Mr. Darcy? Wickham is such a good guy, he wouldn't lie to me. Elizabeth said.

"Litty, it's not that I'm helping Mr. Darcy, it's that you're helping Mr. Wickham. Litty, you'd better ask Mr. Darcy before making a judgment. Charlotte said.

"Ask Mr. Darcy? Will he tell me? Elizabeth said, "Who will admit their mistakes?" ”

"Lyti, you're too biased against Mr. Darcy."

"Oh, Charlotte, it's you who think so well of Mr. Darcy."

"Liti, I don't want to argue with you."

"Me too."

"So, let's change the subject."

"It's a great idea."

The two young ladies changed the subject, but they did not know that their words had been heard by Mr. Darcy not far away. Knowing that Charlotte had sensitive ears, Mr. Darcy did not dare to come near them, but the two ladies spoke in a loud voice, and he listened to them all.

Elizabeth's words made Mr. Darcy uncomfortable, and Charlotte's defense of him made Mr. Darcy's mood better. His gaze swept over Elizabeth's delicate face and flexible eyes, and then swept over Charlotte's delicate and plain face, and his brows furrowed. Are all beautiful women so superficial? Why can't there be a woman who combines Miss Elizabeth's beauty and liveliness with Miss Charlotte's good character and intelligence?
