"Miss, Mr. Darcy is here to visit." The maid Gina reported that Gina was the foreman of all the maids in Notting Manor. She was 27 and [-] years old and she was quite serious.

"Please invite him to sit in the living room first." The maid Norma behind Xu Nian helped Xu Nian tidy up the skirt, and the two walked towards the living room one after the other.

Just as Xu Nian entered the living room, Darcy was sitting on the sofa. As soon as he saw Xu Nian coming in, he immediately got up and greeted Xu Nian, looking very nervous.

"Please sit down." Xu Nian bowed to return the salute, and asked, "Mr. Darcy is here today, is there anything for you?"

"Sir Lucas will hold a banquet at home tomorrow night to welcome Bingley. At that time, many young men and women in Longbourne will attend. I invite you to go with me. Do you want to go?" Darcy explained his purpose.

"Are you only welcome Mr. Bingley?" Xu Nian asked with a half-smile.

In fact, both of them understand that in the small place of Langborn, two bachelors with such high qualifications suddenly appear. For those families who have daughters who are waiting to marry, it is tantamount to a golden turtle falling from the sky, and whoever grabs it will be the winner. who.And the dance party is the best place to communicate and get to know each other. Now, I don't know how many people are trying their best to grab these two attractive 'fat pieces'.

Darcy glanced at Xu Nian, smiled embarrassingly, saw her understanding and indifferent expression, and blurted out the words kept in his heart, "I already have a girl I like, no matter who appears in front of me again , in my eyes, they are no different from ordinary people.”

He looked at Xu Nian with burning eyes, waiting for her to say something, put his hands by his sides and clenched into fists, clenched and then loosened, loosened and clenched again, and so on and on.

Xu Nian understood the deep meaning in his eyes, the girl he said he liked was her, Xu Nian no longer concealed his dissatisfaction with him, pointed it out directly, misinterpreted his meaning and said: "I know, it is you fiancée."

Darcy was stunned for a moment, surprised at first, and then his whole face was filled with joy beyond words. He got up and took a few steps towards Xu Nian, "Miss Bella, please allow me to solemnly announce that I, Fitz William Darcy is single and has no fiancée."

What Darcy thought was that her sudden estrangement was because of this, and she was very concerned about it, did that mean that she also had him in her heart?Thinking of this, he couldn't restrain a burst of ecstasy.

Xu Nian looked at him in astonishment, "Isn't your cousin your fiancee?"

Darcy's cousin, Miss De Bowle, is a perennially sick lady who seldom goes out and stays in Rosings Garden. She also has a mother, Darcy's aunt, Lady Catherine, who is very dogmatic and arrogant. Darcy Xu Nian also learned about having a fiancee from Mrs. Catherine.

"How could De Baoer be my fiancée?" Darcy explained hastily, "Neither my parents have made a marriage contract with my aunt, let alone me, I only think of De Baoer as my younger sister, and How could a sister like Georgiana marry her? This news is really unbelievable, where did you hear it?"

"That time I met your aunt, Mrs. Catherine, at Pemberley Manor, she told me about it." Xu Nian also knew at this moment that all these misunderstandings were caused by Mrs. Catherine.

Darcy thought more than Xu Nian. When he found out his thoughts on Xu Nian, he told his cousin Colonel Fitzwilliam about his thoughts. Perhaps it was from his cousin that his aunt learned about it, so she would be able to give up. The purpose of her sudden visit to Pemberley Manor was to separate him and Xu Nian who had just developed a crush.

He had always known that his aunt wanted him to marry his cousin De Baoer, and he had clearly rejected it twice. It seemed that this did not dissuade his aunt from matching him with his cousin De Baoer.

"I won't marry Cousin De Bauer, I'm in love with..."

It's very impolite to interrupt a gentleman, but Xu Nian still didn't give Darcy a chance to finish speaking, she stood up hastily and said: "I will attend the ball tomorrow night, Mr. Darcy, tomorrow night See."

This is the world of "Pride and Prejudice". Since meeting Darcy, Xu Nian has started to react. She doesn't worry about breaking up the original hero and heroine. For those who read novels or movies , this is a love story, but for Xu Nian, this is real life.If you love each other, you will love deeply, and if you don't love, you won't be entangled. And she hasn't decided yet, should she accept Mr. Darcy?From the current point of view, she only has a superficial liking and appreciation for him, far from love.

"Okay, then I'll pick you up tomorrow night?" Darcy saw that Xu Nian was trying to avoid him, so he stopped chasing him, and changed the subject gracefully.

"Okay!" Xu Nian heaved a sigh of relief, she just liked Darcy's tolerance and gentleman, and smiled at him.

Darcy looked at her sweet smile and felt sweet in his heart, he thought; even if she refused him, he would never give up.

The carriage was driving on the way to Sir Lucas's house. Xu Nian was sitting in the carriage, and Darcy was riding beside her. The two chatted along the way, poetry, food, garden arrangement, and even the farm and business that Darcy was running. , the two chatted very congenially.

"Miss Jones." Xu Nian helped Darcy's hand out of the carriage, and he bent down to help her lift up the skirt. After getting off the carriage, Xu Nian smiled gratefully at him, "Thank you."

What else did the two want to say, but a shrill female voice broke the harmony, "Mr. Darcy, are you finally here? Miss Jones is too reserved, Sir Lucas has been waiting for us for a long time, and the ball is coming soon." It's already started, shall we go in first? It's always bad to be late."

The woman who spoke was Caroline Bingley. They met once at Pemberley Manor. She was tall and thin. A little domineering.The meaning inside and outside the words is to accuse Xu Nian of being late, but this kind of dance party often plays all night, and it doesn't matter if you come sooner or later. Besides, Xu Nian arrived before the time when Darcy invited her.

"Mr. Bingley, Miss Bingley." Xu Nian stood still and greeted the two of them. After that, he was not so polite to Caroline, "If Miss Bingley is in a hurry, can you go in first? Darcy, you didn't talk to Miss Bingley. Did you say that we will arrive at this time? How embarrassing to make her wait like this?"

They are all millennium-old foxes, why are you playing Liaozhai with me!

Darcy recognized the sharpness in Xu Nian's tone, and immediately said politely: "I've already talked to Sir Lucas, and he said he doesn't mind."

The owner of the house doesn't mind, why do you pack half of the garlic here as a guest?Xu Nian could see the jealousy in her eyes at a glance, it was nothing more than liking Darcy, but Darcy treated him differently, jealousy makes people ugly, Xu Nian opened the small incense fan to cover the tip of the nose, the corners of his lips raised, Obviously in a good mood.

Darcy noticed her snickering appearance, and the corners of her lips curved slightly, with a smile on her brows and eyes.

Mr. Bingley saw that there was a lot of sex here, and immediately changed the subject: "Let's go in first! It sounds like the dance party inside is very lively, and I can't wait to get to know the lovely girls here."

"In such a small place, how could there be any cute girls? Some of them are vulgar and ignorant country girls." Concerned about her image as a lady, Catherine complained softly.

The four walked in hand in hand, the two ladies walked in the middle, Darcy walked on the right of Xu Nian, and Mr. Bingley walked on the left of Catherine. When the four of them entered, the atmosphere was high and people were dancing happily. It wasn't too spacious. In the hall, it was crowded and lively. The band played on the small platform upstairs, and the song "Meryton Townhall" was unrestrained and enthusiastic, driving the atmosphere even more enthusiastically.

When the crowd saw the four people, they gradually became quiet, and retreated to the two sides, leaving a passage. The people standing behind tiptoed curiously to see, and the music stopped abruptly. When the four walked towards their master, Sir Lucas , Xu Nian heard girls whispering emotionally around them.

"That's Mr. Bingley. He looks so young, and so handsome."

"Yes, it is said that he is still single, and he is also a bachelor with an annual income of [-] pounds!" The woman's voice was extremely excited, and she heard the eyes of the girls around her dance with enthusiasm, and she was a high-quality husband candidate.

"The two young ladies next to Mr. Bingley are so pretty!" exclaimed a young girl.

"Next to him is his sister, Miss Bingley, in a beige pink dress, and the owner of Notting Manor, Miss Jones, wearing a royal blue dress. She is really beautiful and temperamental, so charming!"

"Wow, Notting Manor, I have only seen it from a distance, and I think it is very magnificent!"

"Who is the man next to Miss Jones? He is tall, handsome, and has a noble manner. He is really the best in the world!" The woman said in an intoxicated nymphomaniac, "It just looks a little too proud."

"That's Mr. Darcy. He is a good friend of Mr. Bingley. He has the capital to be proud of. It is said that his annual income is at least [-] pounds, which is twice that of Mr. Bingley. Moreover, he has a house in Derbyshire. The luxurious Pemberley Manor, he owns almost half of Derbyshire, and he is worth a lot." Someone immediately popularized science.

"Is he also single?" This should be the most concerned topic for single girls.

"Seeing how intimate he is with Miss Jones, I know it's impossible."

"Ah..." The girls couldn't help sighing, and then turned their eyes to the handsome young Mr. Bingley.

There is no doubt that Bentley is the most popular existence among the girls at this ball.

And he seemed to have been shot by the arrow of the God of Love. He didn't take his eyes off a beautiful girl named Jane Bennett all night, and even invited her to two dances.

When Ji Ying looked at Bentley, her eyes were shining, her cheeks were flushed, but she was reserved like a lady, and her emotions were very restrained.

Jane Bennett is the eldest daughter of Mr. Bennett's family. She is indeed very beautiful. Among this group of people, she has the most outstanding appearance. But to say she is particularly beautiful, it would be against her will .Longbourn was only a small country, and here she was perhaps the most outstanding, but in Hertfordshire her beauty was not so distinctive.
