"Wow, Mr. Bingley, you are such a lovely gentleman." The drawing room resounded with the cheers of Lydia and Catherine, who had promised them a ball at Netherfield Manor as soon as possible, and had solemnly invited them to it, much to their delight.

Maria felt that the request of the two men was really unnecessary, Mr. Bingley was a lively and cheerful man, he enjoyed the excitement of the ball, and even if Lydia did not ask for it, Mr. Bingley would hold a ball at Netherfield Manor, after all, the country was somewhat boring, and the ball could pass the time somewhat.

"Mom, did you hear me? Mr. Bingley said that he would hold a ball when Jane recovered, and he invited our family to the ball. "Lydia's affection for Mr. Bingley is now rising.

Mrs. Bennet laughed with joy, and Maria frowned, did the lady forget that she had a daughter lying upstairs. Maria waved her hand and proposed, "Jane should be awake by this time, Mrs. Bennet, should we go and visit Jane together?" ”

"Yes, my poor Jane is still sick, it's a shame that she can't attend the last few balls, you must know that Jane has always been the most popular girl at the balls." Mrs. Bennet swaggered.

Maria really convinced this wife, and she really didn't forget to show off her daughter's excellence anytime and anywhere. She is very glad that her mother is not like this, otherwise she may be the one who will lose face now.

The group went upstairs, Jane just came to her senses, and Maria expected nothing to be right. Mrs. Bennet first inquired about Jane's condition, and when she received a good answer, she put Jane's condition down, and instructed, "Jane, you had better not move now, for I have discussed with Mr. Bingley, and you will stay here for a few days to recuperate, and then go home when you are completely healed." ”

Jian Xiuqi's eyebrows furrowed, and she said softly, "Mom, we can't trouble Mr. Bentley so much. She knew very well that she would not have fallen ill if she hadn't listened to her mother's suggestion, and that she had caused a lot of trouble to Mr. Bingley and the others in the past two days, and that she really shouldn't stay any longer.

Elizabeth said to the side: "Mom, I miss my dad a little, let's go home as soon as possible." ”

"Oh, Lizzie, how can you say that, the wind outside will make Jane's condition worse!" Mrs. Bennet exclaimed angrily, "You don't have to go home, just stay here with Jane." ”

In fact, her purpose is not pure, she thinks that although Elizabeth is not as beautiful as Jane, she is definitely a rare beauty, and staying in Netherfield Manor is just the opportunity to cultivate a relationship with Mr. Darcy. As for Mr. Darcy's girlfriend, Mrs. Bennet doesn't care about that, and the left and right men and women are not yet engaged.

Maria could see at a glance Mrs. Bennet's intentions, but she had no reason to refuse, let alone refuse, for she was a guest herself. Fortunately, after she communicated with Mr. Darcy, Darcy was very careful about the distance between herself and the other ladies, and it can be said that she still has quite confidence in Mr. Darcy now, and Mrs. Bennet is doomed to fail if she pays attention.

After talking to Maria, Darcy was now unusually sensitive to this aspect, and he guessed the purpose of Mrs. Bennet almost before he could finish speaking. Darcy scoffed at this, and the lady didn't know where she got the courage to think that she would give up on Maria and choose Elizabeth, not to mention the great differences between the two families, but in terms of personal conditions, Elizabeth was also several streets behind Maria.

Caroline, who also understood, did not intend to give Mrs. Bennet this face, and deliberately exaggerated: "Oh, Miss Elizabeth, please stay, if it were not for your company, Miss Jane might not improve for ten days and a half." ”

"Lizzie, did you hear, Miss Bingley is very welcome to stay, you stay in addition to taking care of Jane, but also take time to chat with Miss Bingley......"

Listening to Mrs. Bennet's constant telling Miss Elizabeth to communicate more with her, Caroline looked a little confused, how could she not know that she wanted to make friends with Miss Elizabeth.

With a "poof", Maria couldn't hold back her laughter, and Miss Bingley's yin and yang weirdness met the blindly confident Mrs. Bennet, and the first game ended in a fiasco. She felt that if Mrs. Bennet continued to speak, Miss Bingley would probably forget the purpose of inviting Jane over.

Awakened by Maria's laughter, Caroline suddenly turned pale, why couldn't she think of dealing with someone like Mrs. Bennet? The thought that she had just been almost led by the nose by an ignorant country woman made Caroline want to go back to the moment ago and fan herself.

No matter how big Caroline's opinion of Mrs. Bennet was, in front of everyone's eyes, she could only follow the other party's words and say, "Miss Elizabeth, please be sure to stay." Georgiana and Maria, you know, are the quintessential nerds, and I don't want to drop my book bag with them all day. ”

Before Elizabeth could say anything, Mrs. Bennet took over again: "Oh, dear Miss Darcy turned out to be a great reader, and my third daughter, Mary, she also loved to read, and I dare say Mary was definitely the most learned lady in all of Hertfordshire. Let Mary visit you when I get back, and I'm sure you'll be good friends to talk about. ”

Caroline's eyes widened suddenly: "What's the matter with ......?" Not only did she not send Miss Elizabeth Bennet away, but she even had to welcome another Miss Bennet in the near future!

Maria suddenly discovered that Mrs. Bennet was worthy of being born into a family of lawyers, and her eloquence was true, and perhaps Elizabeth's witty argument was also somewhat credited to this lady. Mrs. Bennet's personality is so distinct that she could consider adding such a character to her next book, and there may be unexpected surprises!

The cold air on Darcy's body was swishing out, grinding his teeth secretly, this Mrs. Bennet was simply unreasonable!

In his eyes, Miss Jane Bennet was a money-worshipping woman who tossed her body in order to stay in a man's house; Miss Elizabeth Bennet was even more unbearable to him, knowing that his relationship with Maria would be forced into it, and it was too rude; The two little Miss Bennets were even less polite and frivolous. In this case, Darcy did not think that the remaining Miss Mary would be a true lady.

Darcy would never allow a young lady of poor character to come near his sister, and it was enough to make some mistakes once. So, the gentleman said in a rather sarcastic tone: "If you read two books and are called talented women, then the whole of England will be crowded with talented women——"
