Shortly after returning from town, Longborn received an invitation.

The owner of Nigerfil Manor will host a ball on Tuesday and invite the Bennet family to attend.

The invitation was written with the names of Colonel Brandon and Hiiragi Yanagi.

The women of the Bennet family were so happy that they began to prepare their dresses a few days in advance.

Lydia hinted in Hiiragi's ear that her dress was not worthy of the jewelry Hiiragi gave her, but Hiiragi pretended not to understand.

Lydia wasn't his fiancée, so why did he spend money on her.

Lydia didn't get the result she wanted, and left in a huff, complaining to her sisters that Liu Hiiragi was stingy, and was scolded by Elizabeth.

Lyti really felt that her youngest sister should be educated, and she found her father and spoke her mind, but it didn't work very well, and Mr. Bennet completely gave up on his youngest daughter, who resembled his wife.

"With your mother here, Lydia won't listen to my education." Mr. Bennet said.

He didn't want to make trouble for himself.

Littis had no choice but to leave Mr. Bennet's study.

On the day of the ball, Mr. Bennet did not go, he was too old to like such an event.

Hiiragi and Colonel Brandon followed the Bennets to the ball, where they were warmly welcomed by Mr. Bingley.

But Mr. Bingley's enthusiasm was not directed at them, but at Jane.

Instead, there were other people, surrounding the two.

Colonel Brandon made him a target for many ladies, including Mr. Bingley's sister and sister, who also came to greet Colonel Brandon.

However, Miss Catherine's attitude was a little better than that of the others, and she still only had Mr. Darcy in her eyes.

Miss Catherine's attitude towards Liu Hiiragi was much more perfunctory.

I think it's because Liu Hiiragi is Rita's cousin, so Miss Catherine doesn't like it.

After greeting the men present, Liu Hiiragi went to the corner and sat down, quietly watching the good show that took place at the ball.

Miss Litty danced with Mr. Darcy, and neither of them was talking very well.

Miss Catherine watched them from the side, her expression even worse.

Jane and Mr. Bingley have been together all the time, and the smiles on their faces have never disappeared.

Colonel Brandon was dancing with a lady, and the two of them were dancing and talking, as if they were talking.

Liu Hiiragi remembered the lady, and at the beginning of the ball, Sir Lucas brought his family to greet Liu Hiiragi and Colonel Brandon, introducing the lady's name: Charlotte Lucas.

William Collins's original match!

Liu Hiiragi sweated a little.

Actually, Charlotte is a nice woman.

Aside from the absence of a dowry and a slightly ordinary appearance, she was no worse than the girls of the Bennet family.

This girl is very smart, smarter than the heroine Liti, and sees the situation more clearly.

This girl is a very good helper.

Mr. Collins in the original book was lucky to marry Charlotte as his wife.

But Liu Hiiragi is not Mr. Collins in the original book, and can only wish Charlotte can find a better partner.

A person walked towards the corner, and Liu Hiiragi took a closer look, isn't this Mr. Darcy?

He's separated from Lyti?!

Mr. Darcy noticed someone in the corner and was surprised.

He nodded at Yanagi Hiiragi and sat down on the chair on the other side.

Seeing that Mr. Darcy's face was not very good, Liu Hiiragi did not speak very intimately, giving him a space to sort out his emotions.

But Liu Hiiragi is intimate, which does not mean that others are intimate.

No, the disturbers are coming.

Miss Catherine sat down beside Mr. Darcy and began to have nothing to say.

Mr. Darcy, looking at his friend's face, endured Miss Catherine's unnourishing words.

His brow furrowed more and more, and he looked at the hard work of patience.

Liu Hiiragi took pity on Mr. Darcy and was about to get up and leave.

He didn't want to continue to be a third party.

Mr. Darcy spoke to him, "Mr. Collins, your name is familiar to me. Have we met somewhere? ”

Liu Hiiragi smiled: "I haven't seen it, you should have heard my name from Mrs. Debell." ”

Mr. Darcy was reminded and remembered: "You are the Marquis of Collins?" ”

Liu Hiiragi replied with a smile: "Yes." Mr. Darcy, I often hear your name from the mouth of Debellf. Madame has always been proud to have a nephew like you. ”

Mr. Darcy said, "Auntie is too ridiculous, and I am inferior to you. ”

"Marquis?" Catherine pointed at Liu Hiiragi and exclaimed, "You turned out to be a marquis?" ”

How can it be? How could the Bennet family be just rednecks, how could they have aristocratic relatives?

Deceptive, right?

"Miss Catherine, you are rude."

Mr. Darcy reminded Catherine.

"I'm sorry." Catherine hurriedly put down her hand, lifted her skirt and saluted Liu Hiiragi, "Please forgive me for my faux pas." ”

Liu Hiiragi smiled: "It's okay. ”

Catherine was in a trance, she really couldn't accept that Elizabeth had relatives with a strong background.

With the Marquis as a backer, isn't Elizabeth's advantage stronger than her?

Catherine didn't have the heart to speak to Mr. Darcy and show her grace.

Mr. Darcy breathed a sigh of relief, and his affection for Yoo Hiiragi increased, and he chatted with Yoo Hiiragi.

After chatting, I found that Liu Hiiragi was more knowledgeable and insightful, and had a lot of common language with himself, so Mr. Darcy and Liu Hiiragi chatted more energetically.

Afterwards, Colonel Brandon joins them in the chat.

Mr. Darcy has more of a common language with Colonel Brandon.

The two have similar personalities, similar family backgrounds, and are equally respected in character, and they both have a sense of confidant to each other.

At the end of the ball, Colonel Brandon and Yoo Hiiragi said goodbye and left, and Mr. Darcy and Colonel Brandon felt that they were still unsatisfied, and the two made an appointment for the next time they met, and they were scheduled to fish and hunt together.

It wasn't until all the guests had left that Mrs. Hurstow noticed her sister's strange appearance, and she stepped forward with concern and asked, "Catherine, what's wrong with you?" Feeling unwell? ”

Catherine looked at her sister and said, "Elizabeth's cousin turned out to be a marquis!" ”

"What?" Mrs. Hursto exclaimed, "What nonsense are you talking about? How could that Mr. Collins be an aristocrat? ”

Catherine said, "It's true, Mr. Darcy confirmed, don't believe you ask Mr. Darcy." ”

Mrs. Hursto looked at Mr. Darcy, "Mr. Darcy, is what Catherine said true?" Mr. Collins is a marquis? ”

Hearing her question, Mr. Hursto and Mr. Bingley were also startled and looked at Mr. Darcy together.

Mr. Darcy nodded, "Yes, Mr. Collins is a marquis, the queen herself." He was also a neighbor of my aunt, Madame de Bell. ”

The Bentley Family: "......" (end of chapter)
