When everyone learned that the wedding dress had been purchased by Maria, the others were stunned.

Mrs. Hearst thought that Miss Maria was too face-loving, and that there was no shame in wearing the wedding dress that the Darcy family had kept, so why should she buy a new one, which was also worth a lot of diamonds, and she estimated that she would not be able to take it without ten thousand pounds.

Even Mr. Bentley, who has never cared about the pound, was smacked by Miss Maria's generosity: "It's too extravagant, but it's only one wedding in a lifetime, and it's supposed to be extravagant." ”

Darcy looked at the shocked appearance of the room, and helped his forehead helplessly, the crown was inlaid with rare blue diamonds, but a crown was more than 10,000 pounds, and in his eyes, this wedding dress was at least 30,000 pounds.

This wedding is second only to the royal family in terms of extravagance, and it is difficult to guarantee that the great nobles will look at them unpleasantly, and if these people are more careful, the title of the Darcy family will be in trouble. That being said, Darcy didn't stop Maria in the slightest, as Bingley said, a once-in-a-lifetime wedding, so what's the more grand!

Maria also knew that this wedding dress and crown were a little ostentatious, but she fell in love at first sight in the system mall at that time, and the system gave her a fracture in order to congratulate her on her upcoming marriage, the original price is 99999 points, and the current price is 999 points.

With such a high literary value, this wedding dress is naturally not an ordinary dress, it is a wedding dress that can be changed in style, that is to say, Maria buys one set of wedding dresses, which is equivalent to buying nine sets of wedding dresses at the same time. At that time, Maria placed an order as soon as her mind was hot, and although she regretted it afterwards, what else could she do if she bought it!

Mrs. Bennet was chattering about Mrs. Lucas's treachery: "I knew that Mrs. Lucas was a sinister woman, Charlotte had caught a golden beetle earlier, and now that Maria is better married, she must be very proud......"

Elizabeth had been sitting silently on the couch since she had learned of Maria's engagement to Mr. Darcy, and she was only tired of Mrs. Bennet's words: "Enough, Mommy! No matter how unwilling you are, Maria is Mr. Darcy's fiancée, and the two of them will be married in two months! This fact cannot be changed! ”

Jane glanced at Elizabeth worriedly, and carefully patted the back of her hand: "Lizzie, everything will pass." ”

Mrs. Bennet seemed to have been set on fire by Elizabeth, and said in an impatient tone, "Why don't you take down Mr. Darcy with such ability?" Mr. Darcy doesn't like it very much, but he earns £10,000 a year, which is enough for you to live in luxury! ”

Mr. Bennet was stunned when he heard this, he had no idea that his beloved Lizzie was in love with Mr. Darcy. Mr. Bennet put down the newspaper in his hand and asked the second daughter, "Lizzie, I need you to tell me the truth, do you like Mr. Darcy?" ”

"Yes, Dad, I confess that I have a crush on Mr. Darcy." Elizabeth chose to tell the truth in the face of her respected father.

Mr. Bennet frowned and said, "Lizzie, you must know that Mr. Darcy is not from the same world as us, and you should not put your mind on him. ”

Elizabeth said a little unconvinced: "Then why can Maria Lucas?" I've heard that she had the luxury of choosing a wedding dress for tens of thousands of pounds, which is a failure—"

"Lizzie!" Mr. Bennet does not allow his beloved daughter to become a jealous madman, "No matter how expensive Mary chooses, Mr. Darcy will pay for her, you just have to remember that." ”

Seeing that Lizzie was still trying to refute, he stretched out his hand to interrupt her, and continued: "Buying a wedding dress of ten thousand pounds may seem too extravagant to you, but with Mr. Darcy's financial resources, he can fully afford the consumption. It's like your sisters have £20 a month in pocket money, and each piece of clothing is more than £1, but you are also extravagant in the eyes of the beggars on the roadside. ”

"The same thing is different in the eyes of different people. Lizzie, since Maria became Mr. Darcy's fiancée, she is no longer in the same class as you, and you should not think about each other in your opinion. ”

"Dad, I see." Elizabeth exhaled deeply and leaned against the back of the sofa, "Actually, I envy Maria. ”

Seeing this, Jane hurriedly changed the subject and said, "Speaking of which, there should not be many girls in Hertfordshire who would not envy Maria, with her excellent looks, rich dowry, outstanding talent, and perfect fiancé...... Take out any of them, and they will be enviable. ”

Lydia, who was quiet for a while, laughed happily when she heard this: "Jane, you're so funny! I admit that Maria is very good-looking, and she is now well married, but her dowry is by no means very rich. My God, Sir William only prepared a dowry of £500 for her, and it's too embarrassing for him to be a sir! ”

Jane opened her mouth, not knowing whether she should tell her about Maria's 100,000 pounds of fortune.

Elizabeth didn't know what she was thinking, and said in a cold tone: "Maria is not only 500 pounds, Maria is worth more than 100,000 pounds. In other words, the Golden Scarab in your eyes, Mr. Bentley is not necessarily richer than her. ”

"One hundred thousand pounds? Lizzie, what are you talking nonsense! Mrs. Bennet exclaimed discontentedly.

The three sisters, Mary, Catherine and Lydia, all suspected that something was wrong with their ears, and they all opened their mouths wide and looked sluggish: "......"

Mr. Bennet didn't think Lizzie would talk nonsense, and it was shocking, but it should be the truth. When I think about it, there is a reason why Mr. Darcy chose Maria over many London ladies, and a fortune of 100,000 pounds is enough for any gentleman, and a large fortune is enough to make up for the defects of Maria's birth.

"Lizzie, where did you get this news from?" He was now very curious about how Maria had earned 100,000 pounds, knowing that many people who had accumulated so many generations of wealth did not necessarily have such a fortune, at least not the Bennett family.

Mrs. Hearst said, and Maria herself admitted that she did have so many pounds. It is said that she began writing at the age of seven and earned a lot of money per book, at least a thousand pounds a year. ”

Jane added, "Dad, you've also read a book written by Maria, and her pen name is 'Ghost', and everyone calls her 'Miss Ghost'. "There should be no one in England who doesn't know the name of "Miss Spectre".

"She's the ghost of legend?" Mr. Bennet plucked his ears in disbelief.
