"Maria, hurry. Oh my god, how are you dressed like this for the prom! Mrs. Lucas looked at Maria's simple dress, "Charlotte, you go and help her choose a new dress." Maria, I will never allow you to dress so easily to the prom. ”

Maria really doesn't like cumbersome dresses, the sheer hem of her skirt will keep her away from everything, and the horrible restraint belt will make her breathless!

Charlotte glanced at her sister apologetically: "Maria, you just bear with it, everyone wears it like this." ”

"Why produce such a feminine dance dress! Charlotte, can't I really wear this off-white dress? ”

"I'm afraid not, don't blame Mom for being verbose, this is the first time you've seen Mr. Darcy since you got engaged, and if you dress too cheaply, it will make others think that Mr. Darcy doesn't value you." Seeing Maria pouting, Charlotte smiled and said, "You should be glad that the Rococo style is popular now." ”

When Maria heard it, she said: "Rococo art is characterized by sweetness and lightness, delicate and ornate, without the religious atmosphere and exaggerated emotional expression of Baroque art." I should be glad that the Baroque is not in vogue now, otherwise my bulky skirt would have made it impossible for me to move an inch. Lace, which acts as an embellishment of elegant style, appears on the exposed chest and arms, etc., and plays a seductive role of "holding the pipa and half-covering the face", which was called "charm" at that time, matching the "charm" of the rococo art style.

"Alright, put it on." Charlotte picked out a gorgeous dress and handed it to Maria.

The main feature of Rococo clothing is the elegance of refinement to the extreme. Maria looked in the mirror and turned around, and had to sigh that the rococo dress that gave her a headache was really beautiful, and she was dressed mostly girlishly delicate on weekdays, but this dress showed the fact that she had grown up: "Whew! Let's go—"

Maria's new outfit amazed the whole ball, and Mr. Darcy had always known that Maria was beautiful, but he had never seen Maria so well-dressed, and he was now full of amazement. When Darcy came to his senses, he found that the gentlemen of the entire ball were staring at his fiancée, and his face suddenly darkened, and he suddenly felt that there was nothing wrong with Maria not being dressed up.

Darcy took Maria's hand and said, "I ought to hide you, dear Maria, you are so beautiful that I dare say that after tonight the most beautiful girl in Hertfordshire will be Miss Bennet." ”

"Without their approval, I know that I am the most beautiful." Jane's appearance is more in line with Western aesthetics, but Maria prefers her more classical beauty.

Tonight's Maria was unusually dazzling, and the people of Hertfordshire felt that Mr. Darcy would marry Maria not just for the 100,000 pounds dowry, but also for her good looks.

Jane's face had not looked good since Maria appeared, she had once been the most beautiful girl in Hertfordshire, and now everything was probably a joke. She never regretted it as much as this moment, and did not stop her mother from unscrupulously belittling the Lucas sisters. Jane's heart ached at the thought of Mr. Bingley's astonishing gaze at Maria, who had looked at her the first time they had met, but now everything had changed.

Elizabeth's face was full of frustration, and now the gap between her and Maria was even greater. Even though she deliberately wore her most gorgeous dance dress in order to amaze Mr. Darcy, Mr. Darcy's gaze still did not stop at herself, his eyes revolved around Maria from beginning to end, and compared to Maria's dance dress, her so-called most gorgeous dance dress also looked a little ridiculous.

Mrs. Bennet didn't notice anything wrong with her two daughters, and urged Jane to find Mr. Bingley, as for Mr. Darcy, after all, the other party was officially engaged to Maria, and she couldn't let Elizabeth get up again, so she could only regret that she had missed a golden beetle son-in-law, and cheapened Lucas's family.

The smile on Jane's face was reluctant: "Mom, I'm a little unwell, I'll go and rest first." Lizzie, please help me get a glass of black truffle, thank you. Lizzie probably felt very uncomfortable at this time, so she should not be left alone to face her mother's "old friend".

"Oh my God, what's the matter with you, you're not feeling well at the ball, my head is starting to hurt again......"

Maria looked at Mr. Darcy with an embarrassed expression, she didn't know what kind of physique it was, she had never thought of listening to the corner, but every time this kind of thing happened to her, it was also a hell of a sight. This time she was even more embarrassed and ran into her rival.

Darcy didn't expect that he and his fiancée were hiding in the corner and chatting, and they actually ran into Mrs. Bennet teaching her daughter to fish for a beetle. He had a general impression of the young ladies of the Bennett family, and after this experience, that impression was even worse.

Maria noticed the change in Darcy's expression, and shook her head secretly in her heart, Mrs. Bennet is really a pig teammate, and everyone was originally against Jane and Mr. Bingley, but now I am afraid that it is impossible. Ay! Maria sighed helplessly in her heart, she didn't have a problem with Jane, but as Mrs. Lucas said, Lydia's existence was a bomb that could explode at any moment,

People are selfish, and she won't let Darcy get involved because of Mr. Bingley because of Jane's sadness, after all, both Darcy and Mr. Bingley have unmarried sisters, and it's best not to get involved in that kind of dishonorable thing. In the original book, Mr. Darcy would not have been busy if he hadn't fallen in love with Elizabeth, and Mr. Bingley followed Mr. Darcy.

Fearing that Jane would find out, Maria didn't dare to move.

Darcy took the opportunity to take Maria's little hand and kept playing with it, making Maria's face red and red, and she didn't dare to move, her cheeks flushed, and her ears were talking about the rival sisters, which was not too exciting.

Finally waiting for the two sisters to dance with someone else and leave the couch, Maria finally breathed a sigh of relief and glared at Darcy fiercely: "How embarrassing it would be if you were discovered." ”

"If you find it, you will find it, and it's not a big deal." Darcy felt that some intimacy between the fiancés was nothing.

It's normal, but ...... Maria still felt red when she thought of the scene just now, and she wanted to flirt with her, but she was worried about continuing to be eaten tofu, and she had just discovered that Mr. Darcy still had such a dark side, although it was a little exciting, but occasionally more stimulation in life can also bring ripples to a peaceful and waveless life.
