50. The frog at the bottom of the well

Receiving Mr. Bingley's assurance, Mrs. Bennet nodded with satisfaction: "Jane can be cared for by a gentleman like you, and I am sure she will get better soon." ”

Elizabeth's eyes went dark when she heard her mother's words, and she barely had to look up to feel the mockery in the eyes of the Bentley sisters. She also agreed with Jane staying at Netherfield Manor to recuperate, but it wasn't for her mother to say it, which made the others think about Jane! The thought of Jane's feelings for Mr. Bingley, but her mother was still dragging her feet here, Elizabeth was depressed.

Fortunately, Mr. Bingley genuinely liked Jane, and greatly agreed with Mrs. Bennet's proposal, and even thanked Mrs. Bennet for her assistance from the bottom of his heart.

Maria looked at Elizabeth's iron-clad face, and felt sorry for her in her heart, she really had to be ready to lose face at any time with such a mother, but apparently Elizabeth was the only one who felt embarrassed, and her two sisters did not think there was anything wrong with Mrs. Bennet's words, and the two were pestering Mr. Bingley at this moment.

"Mr. Bingley, Netherfield Manor is so beautiful, don't you want to have a ball here?" Lydia did not even worry about Jane's safety, and instead pestered Mr. Bingley, wanting him to hold a ball at the manor.

"Yes, yes." Catherine nodded her head as she followed her sister's ass.

The two of them really wrote their heartlessness on their faces, and Maria wanted to sigh helplessly, Lydia and Catherine came under the banner of visiting Jane, but they came to Netherfield Manor and completely forgot about Jane, which is not as good as Mrs. Bennet, at least the other party took the lead in asking about her daughter's situation, and learned that it was okay to rest for a good life, so she had the heart to plan something else.

Mr. Darcy's eyes became sharper and sharper when he looked at Mrs. Bennet, and he was so frightened that Mrs. Bennet, who wanted to sell her second daughter to the other party, did not dare to squeak, but fortunately, Mr. Bingley was quite supportive, and he answered Mrs. Bennet's questions and had a very good attitude.

"Twenty-four of Hertfordshire hold a ball every year, and you don't know how grand it isβ€”" said Mrs. Bennet, deliberately raising her voice, "Miss Bingley, believe me, a lady like you must be very welcome at a ball." ”

As a former student at Toris College, Maria attended several balls in London, which were several times larger than the country balls in Hertfordshire, which was not only about the lavish decorations, but also about the number of people who attended. Mrs. Bennet's ostentation is simply incomprehensible, and it is no wonder that in the original book, both Mr. Darcy and Miss Bingley and others found her ridiculous.

"Maria, I remember you once attended a ball in London, I wonder what you think of the ball in London?"

When a man sits at home, evil comes from heaven. Maria felt that Mrs. Bennet was not only Mr. Darcy's nemesis, but perhaps her own nemesis, who was she getting in the way of sitting honestly? What did she say to this, Mrs. Bennet obviously wanted to get herself to agree with her, but Maria was not her.

In the end, Maria could only reply in Georgiana's sympathetic eyes: "The ball in London is very grand, not only the ballroom is extraordinarily gorgeous, but also the people who attend the ball. ”

"Oh, Maria!" Mrs. Bennet looked at Maria angrily, "I can't believe you would say such a thing, you didn't ......mention it at all when the Hertfordshire dance was so lively"

Maria's head was full of black lines: "......" She really didn't want to say anything more to the "frog at the bottom of the well".

Although Elizabeth has not attended the ball in London, she doesn't think Maria will lie on this issue, not to mention that London is already prosperous, and there are more upper-class people living there, but I am afraid that the ball in London is not a little bit more prosperous than that of Hertfordshire, and Maria's answer is already to give her mother face.

At this moment, looking at the chattering Mrs. Bennet, Elizabeth just wanted to cover her mouth: "Mom, you're enough!" Hertfordshire can't be compared to London in the first place, what do you mean by persecuting Maria so much, the facts are the facts. ”

Mr. Bingley also felt a headache when he looked at Mrs. Bennet, but one of them was his sweetheart's mother and the other was his sweetheart's sister, and he couldn't help anything. Moreover, Mrs. Bennet's words were really laughable, and if it weren't for Miss Elizabeth's face, Bingley thought he would have laughed as much as Caroline.

"London has London's advantages, and Hertfordshire has its own advantages, so let's not generalize."

Mrs. Bennet was not quite satisfied with Mr. Bingley's answer, and it was evident that no one was willing to agree with her point of view, and she had no choice but to give up.

Maria thought Mrs. Bennet was a little stupid, but she also thought the Bentley sisters were going too far. As the Bentley sisters, they can at most attend some ordinary balls in London, and they are not invited to balls held at Buckingham Palace, and the two who are laughing at Mrs. Bennet are actually no different from each other.

Darcy was keenly aware of Maria's inner annoyance, and thought that she was angry with Mrs. Bennet, and his impression of Bennet's family was even worse. However, like Maria, he also felt that the Bentley sisters were a bit rude, and he really didn't know why Charles's sisters were so lacking in quality.

"Whether it's a ball at Buckingham Palace or a country ball it's all about socializing, it's really not that different." Mr Darcy suddenly exclaimed, "The environment in Hertfordshire is quite good, and I am sure we will have a pleasant holiday." ”

Maria was a little surprised by Darcy's voice, seeing that he looked at her with gentle eyes, the depression in her heart suddenly disappeared, it turned out that Darcy would also take care of people's emotions-

Elizabeth mistakenly thinks that Darcy is helping her out, and throws a grateful look at the other party.

Maria, who had accidentally noticed this scene, suddenly became jealous again, and raised her chin slightly to signal Darcy to look at the rotten peach blossoms she had provoked.

Darcy turned his head and saw Elizabeth's eyes full of gratitude, for this lady, Darcy was also quite helpless, he always felt that this lady was quite fearless in the face of him, to be honest, he didn't know where he gave the other party this illusion.

"You know I'm here for you, and I'm confused about the behavior of this Miss Elizabeth Bennet." Darcy's voice was full of helplessness, if this lady expressed her affection for him, he could directly refuse, but Miss Elizabeth provoked herself verbally at every turn, and she didn't look like she had a good impression of herself.

Maria thinks that Elizabeth's behavior is a bit of a schoolboy's feeling when facing the person she likes, and she bullies you if she likes it......
