Darcy and Maria looked at each other from a distance, and the affection in their eyes could be seen at a glance.

Mr. Bingley was surprised that Darcy's sweetheart would be the little-known Miss Maria Lucas. Then, he hurriedly turned to look at his sister, only to see Caroline's face pale and her chest rising and falling. Mr. Bingley suddenly felt a headache, and whispered into Caroline's ear, "Caroline, pay attention to your manners." ”

Caroline bit her mouth and asked in disbelief, "Brother, where am I not as good as this Miss Maria?" ”

"Caroline, you're good, but Darcy is obviously in love for a long time, give up, there are still many gentlemen waiting for your favor." Just one glance at Mr. Bingley, you can see that this Miss Maria is an unforgettable beauty, in terms of appearance alone, Caroline lost, and can be taken by Darcy, and even silently liked for so many years, Miss Maria is certainly not a straw bag beauty.

On the other side, Mr. Darcy walked up to Maria in three steps and two steps, and said with a smile, "I'm glad you can wear this jewelry." He had made a whole set of jewelry, and gave it all to Miss Maria, except for the ring. Miss Maria had told him with a smile that when she wanted to get married, she would wear the jewels, hoping that some gentleman would put the matching ring on her with his own hands.

Maria asked generously, "Does a gentleman have a ring?" ”

"When ......" was interrupted by Mrs. Bennet's words before Darcy could finish speaking.

"Oh, Maria, why don't you introduce us to us!"

Seeing Darcy's suffocated face, Maria smiled unkindly in her heart, and the meeting between the mother-in-law and her son-in-law in the original book was as discordant as ever: "Allow me to introduce you: this is Mrs. Bennet, these five are her daughters, Jane Bennett, Elizabeth Bennett, Maria Bennett, ......"

Maria quickly made a brief introduction for the two parties, and she also noticed that Mr. Bingley's attention to Jane Bennet was very unusual as in the original book, and after reading the original book, she deeply felt that Mr. Bingley was a senior face control, and it was not too normal for the other party to be like this. To her surprise, Elizabeth was also a little uncomfortable with Mr. Darcy's attention.

Elizabeth didn't expect that Mr. Darcy, who had a haughty temperament, would be so handsome, and his dark brown eyes were full of charm. For some reason, seeing Mr. Darcy's gentle treatment of Maria, she had an extremely strong rejection in her heart, and for a moment she even wanted to step forward and pull the two away, but fortunately, Elizabeth was not an ordinary person after all, and she soon sobered up, but Mr. Darcy became different in her heart after all.

Not only did Maria notice Elizabeth's gaze, but Mr. Darcy also noticed that he had the senses of the Bennets, but now he saw that the young lady of the Bennets had been staring at him, and his heart became more and more disgusted. In the face of Maria's introduction, Darcy finally simply nodded, as if he had no intention of making deep friends.

Mrs. Bennet didn't notice it at all, and perhaps didn't care, but pushed Jane forward and said, "This is my eldest daughter, Jane Bennet, the most beautiful girl in all of Hertfordshire!" ”

Caroline, who was already in an unhappy mood, laughed directly: "Really? Even if she didn't want to admit it, she had to say that Maria's appearance and temperament were extremely outstanding, compared to which Miss Jane Bennet could barely be regarded as having her own merits, but her own temperament was thrown out a lot. To put it bluntly, Jane Bennet stood next to Maria...... Snort, its temperament is like the difference between fireflies and the bright moon compared to Maria.

"Of course." Mrs. Bennet didn't even hear the sarcasm in Caroline's words, and her head was held high.

The mockery on Caroline's face froze suddenly, and the world ...... How can there be such a brazen person in the world?

Maria, who has been quietly paying attention to everyone, almost burst out laughing when she saw this, for most mothers in this world, their children are always the best, Lydia Bennet's style of behavior is quite dissolute, Mrs. Bennet still praises all day long, not to mention that Jane Bennet herself is quite good, Caroline is looking for the wrong person.

Georgiana leaned into Maria's ear and whispered, "This Miss Bennet is indeed a sweet girl, but her temperament is a lot worse than yours, and I really don't know what the residents of Hertfordshire think." In her eyes, even a famous lady in London cannot be compared with her friend, how can a young lady who is only beautiful overshadow the reputation of her friend.

"Georgiana, don't be angry." Maria patted her friend's hand soothingly, and then explained: "I rarely go out to balls, and I am not familiar with many of the people of Hertfordshire, and it is normal for them to think that Jane Bennet is more beautiful. ”

As soon as Georgiana thought of her friend's otaku attributes, she didn't say anything, just pursed her lips and said, "It's okay to participate in these boring dance parties once or twice, there's no need to participate in each of them." "She's about the same as Maria, who doesn't like to go to balls. Since she started socializing at the age of 16, she has been selectively attending several balls every year during London's social season.

"Look at Mr. Bingley, I feel that he has an extraordinary sense of Miss Jane Bennet." Maria looked at Mr. Bentley, who was smiling like a flower, and her heart was full of emotion, this pair may not have been butterflyed by herself.

The corners of Georgiana's mouth twitched, and she said a little speechlessly: "Mr. Bingley behaves like a peacock on the screen, and it is clear that he has a crush on this Miss Bennet, but Caroline and Mrs. Hearst are obviously very unhappy about this. To be honest, I'm not too bullish on this pair. ”

Hearing this, Maria's eyes widened in surprise, and she asked with some confusion: "Georgiana, why do you think so?" ”

"Don't you think that Miss Bennet is too reserved? And she has such a mother, how could she not think of the possibility of being with Mr. Bingley, and such a posture is quite suspicious of waiting for a price. ”

Georgiana had a fairly average sense of the Bennets, and if she wasn't worried about her friends, she would have wanted to squirt Elizabeth Bennett. There was obviously a situation between the brother and the friend, as long as the eyes were not blind, but the eyes of Miss Elizabeth were always fixed on the brother, without the slightest consideration that the friend was her neighbor.

Maria opened her mouth, and finally reluctantly said a word of defense for Jane: "Maybe she's just too shy." ”
