Maria looked at Elizabeth with some surprise, in the past, Elizabeth often came to Lucas's cottage because of Charlotte's relationship, since Charlotte got married, Elizabeth didn't come over much, today is surprising.

Elizabeth saw the surprise on Maria's face, and felt a little ashamed, as if she was impulsive. However, she really didn't want to see Jane depressed, Jane was two years older than Charlotte, and now that Charlotte's eldest son had been born, Jane was not married, and the family was inevitably a little anxious, Mr. Bingley was the most suitable person they could contact at the moment, and she hoped that Maria would not rob Jane.

After listening to Elizabeth's words, Maria couldn't help but grimace, no matter how beautiful Jane was described in the original book, it could not hide her behavior as a golden beetle, and Mr. Bingley's handsome appearance only covered Jane Bennett's behavior with a fig leaf. Now that Jane had seen Mr. Bingley, Elizabeth hurried to her, trying to take advantage of her girlish shame and make her give up competing with Jane on her own.

Maria resented Elizabeth's actions, but she also had to lament the affection of the sisters: "You can rest assured that I already have a gentleman of my heart, and have no intention of making any further contact with Mr. Bingley." ”

Elizabeth endured the embarrassment and continued to ask, "That Sir William seems to want to visit Mr. Bingley—"

Maria had a sneer in her eyes: "I heard that Mr. Bennet is also going to visit Mr. Bingley, why is the Bennet family desperate for Mr. Bingley to marry Miss Jane Bennet?" ”

Elizabeth didn't expect that Maria, who has always been good-natured, would say such harsh words, and her face suddenly became ugly: "It's just an ordinary visit." Maria, Jane is the most beautiful person in the world, and she deserves to be happy. ”

Maria said impatiently, "That's a coincidence, my dad is just visiting a new neighbor." ”

What does Elizabeth mean? It's as if only Jane Bennet deserves happiness in this world. Originally, Maria had no intention of arguing with Jane Bennett, but now she had changed her mind, and on the day of the ball she had to wear the most beautiful dress and blind her.

"I hope so."

Subsequently, the two parted unhappily.

When Mrs. Lucas learned the purpose of Elizabeth's visit, she was not good, and said angrily: "Ha, it is the first time that I have found out that this young lady is so funny, as long as Jane Bennet has a crush on Duren, no one else can have an idea!" Then she is really domineering and naïve. ”

Sir William did not expect that his act of taking the initiative to visit would give others such an illusion, and he was a little dissatisfied: "I am sure that the people of the neighbourhood, though they know nothing of Mr. Bingley's mind, regard each other as the lawful property of one of their daughters. Jane Bennet was indeed a rare beauty, but her conditions were not the best in Hertfordshire. ”

"A dowry of £2,000 is not much, I really don't know what Elizabeth has to be proud of, and Mrs. Bennet, she always looks down on Maria, and thinks that Maria has stolen Jane's limelight, and a 27-year-old girl has something to rob of!" When it comes to her own daughter, Mrs. Lucas has changed her old good temper.

Perhaps because he had seen too much of Maria's diamond-level looks, little Mr. Lucas really didn't think Jane Bennet was beautiful, and he was also very angry at Elizabeth's faux pas.

"I heard that Mr. Bingley had inherited a hundred thousand pounds of property from his father, and that he had an annual income of four or five thousand pounds, which in the eyes of Mrs. Bennet was not a golden beetle! Elizabeth's active operation is not for herself, and I don't believe she has any selfish intentions. ”

Sir William replied from behind: "I have known the scheming of this young lady for a long time, and she is the one who most resembles Mr. Bennet. ”

Maria really didn't think about it, and suddenly asked in surprise: "Are you saying that Elizabeth did this, not only for Jane, but also for herself to marry a good family in the future?" ”

"Of course. What status of a person to associate with what status, with the identity of Mr. Bentley, the value of the gentleman with whom he interacted is estimated to be not low. If Jane Bennet could marry Mr. Bingley by virtue of her beauty, then as Mr. Bingley's sister-in-law, Elizabeth would have the opportunity to meet more outstanding gentlemen, and even be able to choose one of them to marry. ”

Maria looked at little Mr. Lucas in shock: "Brother, I suddenly found that you are so smart-"

The family burst into laughter, and the unhappiness brought by Miss Elizabeth quickly dissipated.

When Mrs. Lucas and the others learned that Maria had told Elizabeth that she had a crush, she was so angry that she wanted to pat her on the back of her hand.

Maria was so frightened that she fled behind Sir William: "Mother, why are you beating me?" ”

"This kind of thing is something that an unmarried lady like you can say at will!" Although Mr. Darcy has been courting Maria, as long as the marriage between the two is not consummated, Maria will not be able to reveal the slightest affection for Mr. Darcy.

Maria felt that Mrs. Lucas was really worried, and in her reply to Mr. Darcy, she wrote that her mother was anxious to marry her, and that Mr. Darcy would come this time and bring her engagement ring, which was what they had agreed on.

Tell Elizabeth in advance, and save her from always annoying herself, Maria has long been aware of the stubbornness of this young lady, everything she believes will not change easily, Maria thinks that she is not as patient as Charlotte, and is not willing to spend time and energy to change the other party's mind.

Faced with Mrs. Lucas's chatter, Maria had to present Mr. Darcy's letters.

When Mrs. Lucas had finished reading Mr. Darcy's letter, she ceased to reprimand her.

This made Maria breathe a sigh of relief, Mr. Darcy was really as good as ever.

Little Mr. Lucas's heart was full of sourness when he saw this, this is really a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law, the more she looks at it, the more satisfied she becomes, and her own son is squeezed to the side.

Hearing this, Maria smiled and said, "Brother, if you can bring home a sister-in-law, your mother will definitely be very enthusiastic about you." ”

Thinking of that scene, little Mr. Lucas suddenly got goosebumps and shook his head violently: "Then forget it." Seeing that Charlotte and Maria have found the person they like, he also hopes that his future wife can have a good relationship with him, instead of getting married in a hurry because of their property and life experience.

Maria thinks that her brother is a face dog, and she also likes Lin Daiyu's one, tsk......
