48. Unexpected friendships
Darcy glanced at her with a gloomy face, her friend who was chatting with the Bennett sisters, and stayed with Miss Maria to take the opportunity to talk to her, but Miss Bingley directly pestered Maria, and even her own sister joined them in chatting, and only she sat dryly aside.
"Oh my God, it turns out that the great writer is by my side, and I didn't even know it. Georgiana, you have done a good job of secrecy, I really envy you, I used to want to write something, but the ink in my stomach is limited, and I give up every time I don't wait to start writing. Caroline looked at Georgiana with envy.
Georgiana was very embarrassed to be seen, she didn't expect Caroline to envy herself: "Actually, I didn't know what to write when I first started writing, but it was Maria who comforted me and I had the courage to continue." Caroline, if you really like poetry, don't give up. ”
Caroline waved her hand in appreciation: "I just admire the people who write poetry, but to be honest I have a general feeling about poetry, I can't read it at all, compared to it, I prefer to read novels, like Miss Ghost's novels, I like it very much, I even bought every one of her books." ”
Georgiana was surprised to hear Caroline say that she didn't like poetry, and she remembered that Caroline always liked to hold a book of poems to read, and she thought that the other party liked it very much, but it turned out to be just for show! Thinking of her brother, who liked poetry, she suddenly knew why, and Georgiana had a bad premonition in her heart, Caroline wouldn't like it because her brother liked "Miss Spectre" novels, right? If that's the case, it's a big misunderstanding!
Seeing that Georgiana looked at her with a faint look in her eyes, Maria also secretly scolded Mr. Darcy in her heart for her blue face, so that she needed to be cautious in making friends now.
So, the friendship between Maria and Miss Bingley turned into a plastic sister again, otherwise Miss Bingley would know the truth in the future and think she was laughing at her, of course, this may just be her villain's heart, but looking at Miss Bingley's attitude towards the Jane sisters, this girl is really not a generous master.
Receiving his sweetheart's eye knife again, Darcy said that he was innocent, and he had only recently figured out the taste. In the past, every time he took the book, Miss Bingley would take the book, it turned out that it was to take the opportunity to chat with him, and Mr. Darcy, who wanted to understand, was suddenly embarrassed.
"Woe to the water!" Maria whispered at Mr. Darcy.
Caroline saw that her new friend had been "seduced" by Darcy again, and she was indignant: "Ladies, should we take a walk?" ”
Georgiana had just discovered a little secret, and now she was even more uncomfortable, and hurriedly replied, "I'll play a song for everyone." With that, she walked towards the piano in the living room.
Caroline looked at her sister, and Mrs. Hearst shook her head in fright: "Dear Caroline, please spare me, you know that I have always disliked sports, and I will not participate in your young girls' activities." ”
Elizabeth suddenly said, "Miss Bingley, I'll go with you." ”
Maria, who was chatting with Darcy, suddenly remembered the description in the original book, in which Mr. Darcy's eyes kept following Miss Elizabeth, causing Miss Bingley to become hysterical at the end.
Maria raised an eyebrow at Darcy and asked, "Mr. Darcy, do you think Miss Elizabeth is light and delicate?" ”
"Miss Elizabeth Bennett's posture and appearance are indeed okay, but they are far from good enough compared to you." Darcy gave the answer based on the principle of telling the truth.
Maria was choked by Darcy's honest words, the reason why she was in good shape was deliberately raised, as for her appearance, it was not her boasting, except for Jane, who could compare with her in the whole of Hertfordshire, no one else was enough to look at. Angry, Maria grinded her teeth and asked in a low voice, "Don't you think Miss Elizabeth is light and charming?" ”
Only then did Darcy react, and Maria was upset: "This young lady is okay, but there are not a few young ladies in London who look like this, and she is nothing special in my eyes." Miss Maria, should I be honored? You're jealous. This seemed to Darcy to be incredible, considering that Maria had not shown any jealousy in the face of other more brilliant noble ladies, which made him very frustrated.
Maria can't say that you and Elizabeth are a couple in the original book, and because she knows this, she never takes the tricks of the ladies in London seriously, and she didn't expect to make Mr. Darcy misunderstand, which is really ......
"I don't know why I always think that if I don't show up, you will be attracted to Miss Elizabeth in the future, and we will end up together." Maria simply talked about the content of Pride and Prejudice.
Darcy looked at Maria speechlessly: "This is simply ridiculous, the Darcy family will not marry the Bennett family anyway!" To put it mildly, there are aristocratic ladies who are willing to marry into the Darcy family. Not to mention the social status of Bennet's family, the upbringing of five Miss Bennet is enough to dispel the idea of a gentleman from a good background to propose, you must know that not everyone is as simple as Charles. ”
Maria looked at Darcy with some surprise and asked in surprise, "You said Miss Elizabeth was poorly educated?" ”
"Of course." Darcy said with great certainty.
"Then ......," Maria wanted to ask him why she thought Miss Elizabeth was well-bred in the original book, but she thought it was too abrupt.
"As for this morning, Miss Bennet has written to Longborn, and if she believed Charles, they should not have come so hastily. If you are really worried about your sisters, you can take the family carriage instead of a young lady coming alone, which is too dangerous. ”
In the original book, Darcy did have some complaints about Elizabeth's actions, but he still felt that the other party's concern for his sister was worthy of recognition, and even said that Elizabeth's eyes were burning because of the movement. Maria felt that it was not all about the power of the plot gods: "Do you think Miss Elizabeth has beautiful eyes?" ”
Darcy suddenly had a black line: "Dear Miss Maria, are you sure you want to study this Miss Elizabeth with me all the time?" In my eyes, your golden brown eyes are the brightest, and no pair of eyes in this world are as charming as yours. ”
Maria was suddenly confused by the sweet words, and the curvature of the corners of her mouth was so beautiful that she never smoothed out: "I didn't expect the serious Mr. Darcy to say sweet words-"
"If you like me, you can say more about it in the future." Darcy looked at Maria's smiling face and felt that Dylan's words were not completely useless, girls do like to listen to good words, maybe he could go back and study the collection of mandala loves.
