69. Hat shop

"Wow! I want this hat, and see if this is what Miss Bingley said about lace hats that are now popular in London? Lydia asked the crowd in a shuffled manner.

"That's it, big lace entanglement......" Catherine was the first to respond.

Listening to the exaggerated words of the two sisters, Maria twitched the corners of her mouth, fortunately Charlotte was not such a noisy person, otherwise her ears would have suffered. Thinking of whether there was any commotion in Longboenly, Maria glanced at Charlotte gratefully.

Charlotte was confused by her sister, but her sister had convulsions from time to time, she was used to it, and it was strange to get used to it!

Maybe the people who write novels are a little weird, she has really seen a lot of strange novelists in her editing career over the years, some are amorous, in order to write a novel, they go to hook up with the squire's daughter, and they abandon people as soon as the novel is written, etc., this kind of experiential talent is really terrifying!

Elizabeth listened to the words of her two sisters and wondered, "When did you two become so familiar with Miss Bingley?" ”

"Well, not very familiar, we just chatted at the ball, Miss Bingley was so hospitable, and she told me a lot of what was fashionable in London, and she was so generousβ€”" Lydia thought Miss Bingley was really well-informed, and complimented Miss Bingley to the crowd.

Elizabeth was about to be by Lydia, who was showing off, but not kind: "......"

Maria glanced at Elizabeth sympathetically, who knows this kind of silly white sweet sister: "This is indeed the latest fashion in London, Mrs. Linda is not expensive, Lydia, if you really like it, you can buy it." "Ten pence may be a little expensive to the Bennett lady, but it will never be unaffordable.

Lydia pouted, and muttered, "But this hat is at least three pence more expensive than the others, and I feel at a loss." The main thing is that she has not much pocket money left, and she is a little reluctant to take out 10 pence at once.

Maria nodded secretly in her heart when she heard this, but it's not, it's just a different style, just like modern times, the style of the season is always a lot more expensive, once the price is reduced immediately, it makes her feel like a big loss, unless she likes it very much, or she simply buys old clothes, for which she is not less ridiculed by the daughters in that circle, but she Maria is a person who cares about gossip.

The Lucas family's financial situation is average, Maria really didn't pursue fashion before, and then when she made money, she didn't buy much, mainly because she really didn't appreciate this kind of large-brimmed hat, if it wasn't for the prom to wear, Maria didn't even plan to buy the hats in the closet. Truth be told, though, the hat Lydia has in her hand is indeed the prettiest presence in the entire hat shop.

"Mrs. Linda, do you still have this type of hat in your store?" Maria suddenly came to her mind and wanted to buy one.

Mrs. Linda suddenly smiled: "There are three more, but they are not white, they are purple and black, I wonder what Miss Maria thinks?" He quickly took out two similar hats.

Maria took it and looked at it, it was finely made, it seemed that Mrs. Linda was not lying, this hat was indeed worth 10 pence, which color hat should be purple or black?

Seeing that Maria was having difficulty in choosing again, Charlotte took the purple hat and put it on her head, and said, "Let's buy this one, it just matches your dress." She didn't know what Maria's hobby was, and most of her hats were black and brown, so she really didn't understand.

The reason why Maria keeps buying these two colors of hats is not because black and coffee are more versatile, and she doesn't like to wear hats, so it is naturally easier to buy versatile. However, at this time, Maria did not caress Charlotte's kindness, and simply paid for the hat on her head.

Seeing this, Lydia hurriedly took out ten pence and paid for it, holding her mouth as she paid: "My pocket money is all gone now, and I want to buy a new dress-"

Catherine tugged at the corners of her mouth and said, "What kind of dress can you buy for this little money!" ”

"You can say that!"

"I'm not allowed to tell the truth, just a little bit, I'll just say!"

"Whew, get your pocket money out!"

"Don't give! Why should I give you my money! ”

Seeing that the two little sisters were making trouble in the store again, Elizabeth's face turned green: "Lydia, you give me honesty, who can blame you for always being the first to spend the change every month." ”

Seeing that Elizabeth was about to explode, Jane hurriedly stopped her and said, "All right, Lizzie." Lydia, I have 3p left here, you can use it first. ”

Elizabeth snatched the money from Jane's hand and said, "Jane, you can't give it to her, and you don't look at how many clothes and hats she has in her closet, and you still buy them, but you really don't count them at all." "The family counts Lydia Aimei, and with a little money in her hand, she buys clothes and hats, and the five sisters count her cloakroom to the brim.

Charlotte smiled and shook her head: "Lydia can't save a penny, Maria is the opposite, I remember that when her books were not on sale, she always rubbed my old clothes to wear, and she hated not to take a penny of her pocket money every month, what a ......" Mrs. Lucas was finally forced to take out some of her pocket money in advance to buy her clothes.

Maria didn't feel embarrassed to be exposed in public, who let her not have much money in her hand at that time, to put it simply, she was poor, otherwise she could be so deducted.

"I don't want to buckle it now, Charlotte, do you like that black hat? If you like it, you might as well buy it. ”

Charlotte rolled her eyes angrily: "You are you, I don't lack hats, and I don't like this hat very much." ”

Another important reason why Maria bought this hat is that it is relatively small compared to most hats on the market, and Charlotte's aesthetic is different from her, Charlotte likes hats with large brims, which is indeed not the type she admires.

What she didn't expect was that the remaining black hat was bought by Elizabeth, I have to say that as the heroine of the original book, Elizabeth's appearance is still quite good, the black curls and this black hat give people a cold feeling, fortunately, she herself is not bad, Maria raised her chin slightly.

"Oh, it's Officer Charlie, I haven't seen him in a long time. Oh my God, the red uniform next to him is really handsome and charming, I think he must be the militia stationed recently......"

Listening to Lydia's shouting voice, Maria suddenly had an inexplicable premonition in her heart, and the scumbag Mr. Wycombe appeared-
