"Miss Jane dances really well." Bingley complimented, and when he saw Charlotte standing aside, he inevitably included her in his words. "Miss Lucas is also a very interesting young lady."

"It's a pity that she is not pretty enough, and she is not young anymore." Mrs. Bennet immediately answered.

Elizabeth snapped and looked at Charlotte in embarrassment, but Charlotte smiled at her, "Mom!"

Bingley smiled in embarrassment, not knowing how to answer, Charlotte quickly turned around and walked into the crowd, Xu Nian really felt sorry for this girl when she saw how she was suppressing her laughter.

"Got it, got it, oh! Elizabeth has never been willing to honestly admit that Lucas looks ordinary." Mrs. Bennet was still bragging about her daughter, her two cheeks were flushed, she wondered if she was drunk, " Of course, my Jane, she's the prettiest girl in the county."

"Mother, mother!" Jane tried to interrupt Mrs. Bennet's conversation, but it was obviously useless.

"When she was only 15 years old, there was a gentleman who fell in love with her deeply. I'm sure he must have something for her." Mrs. Bennet was still talking, seeing the expressions on the faces of her two daughters When it was all bad, she quickly ended the topic, "Anyway, he wrote a lot of lovely love poems to her."

What Mrs. Bennet meant was to tell Bingley that Jane was very much in demand, and if she liked her, she must not hesitate to propose to her as soon as possible.

As for what Elizabeth would say for Ji Ying, Xu Nian didn't even bother to listen.

On the way back to Notting Manor, the carriage moved forward steadily, the night wind was cool, Darcy put his cloak on Xu Nian, Xu Nian did not refuse, she looked up at the sky, the night was as clean as if washed by water , the stars are scattered, and the moonlight is bright, quietly sprinkled on the ground, covering the earth with a silver-gray veil.

Mr. Darcy said suddenly, "The moonlight is beautiful tonight!"

When Xu Nian heard this sentence, Xu Nian's first reaction was that Darcy was confessing to her, and she subconsciously asked, "Have you ever heard of the Japanese writer Natsume Soseki?"

Darcy knew that Xu Nian understood what he meant, and looked at Xu Nian with his star-like eyes, "Of course."

"The moonlight is beautiful tonight", this is a famous saying of Natsume Soseki. When he translated the English "lloveyou" for students, he translated it implicitly and romantically, "The moonlight is beautiful tonight", because with you, the moon The color is very beautiful.

Xu Nian supported Darcy's hands to get off the carriage, and when Xu Nian stood still, he still didn't let go. Under the bright moonlight, Darcy looked at Xu Nian and confessed affectionately: "Bella, I really can't restrain myself." The strong admiration for you in my heart, I don’t know when it started, you have quietly lived in my heart, slowly getting along, I found that I have loved you so much that I can’t extricate myself, I can’t deceive myself anymore, I Love you, Bella, I love you with all my heart and forever, please grant me the honor, will you marry me?"

Xu Nian's originally wandering heart slowly settled down because of his sincere confession. The original uncertainty disappeared when he looked at him affectionately.Looking at Darcy who was kneeling on one knee, he was holding an antique female ring in his hand. In the center of the ring was a translucent diamond-shaped ruby, surrounded by small shiny diamonds. He stared at Xu Nian anxiously and expectantly.

"Mr. Darcy, congratulations on getting a perfect Mrs. Darcy." Xu Nian stretched out his hand, with an intoxicating smile on his face.

Darcy put the ring on Xu Nian's finger, he leaned close to Xu Nian slightly, a cold fragrance came faintly, and asked in a low voice: "Excuse me, now, can I kiss my Mrs. Darcy? "

Xu Nian's eyes were full of smiles, she tiptoed and quickly pressed a kiss on his cheek, then turned and ran back into the house, leaving only a string of crisp laughter and a sweet good night in the silent night .

Darcy stroked the place where Xu Nian had kissed, and froze for a long time until his feet were numb. When he was about to leave, he accidentally staggered, but even so, he was happy. Laughing loudly, riding all the way back to Netherfield Gardens, his uncontrollable smile would come from time to time on the road, in this silent night, it sounded a bit creepy.

Midsummer is coming, and there are large wildflowers blooming along the way, the carpet of green grass, ups and downs, beyond the horizon at a glance, patches of woods and shrubs, cattle and sheep grazing leisurely, what a peaceful pastoral painting.

"Bella, Miss Bingley has invited Miss Jiying to visit Netherfield tomorrow, do you want to come with me?" Darcy leaned against the trunk of a thick oak tree, quietly admiring Xu Nian's painting, even if he just looked at her like this, he felt that Also overflowing with joy and happiness.

"No, Caroline will invite Miss Ji Ying to be a guest?" Xu Nian kept the paintbrush in her hand, she couldn't believe it, "Although it's bad to talk about others behind their backs, Caroline obviously despises people in the class. The Te family, what's more, now that Bingley has such a good impression of Jiying, it's good if she doesn't destroy it, and she will take the initiative to invite them to create opportunities for them?"

"The war between women is really inexplicable." Darcy obviously couldn't figure out the true meaning, "I mentioned it to Bingley by accident before, and I have a different impression of you. When Miss Bingley heard it, she immediately raised her voice asked me again."

She said: "I am really surprised. How long have you been looking at her? Please tell me, when can I congratulate you?"

Xu Nian was amused by his imitation of Caroline's tone of voice, and she didn't panic at all when the brush was heavy on one spot. With her painting skills, she could make up for it later.

"How did you answer her?" Xu Nian asked with a smile.

I said: "I expected you to ask such a question. A woman's imagination is so quick; it jumps from admiration to love, and from love to marriage in the blink of an eye. I know you are going to come." I congratulate you, so I have already thought about how to reply you politely and without losing embarrassment."

"You are so narrow! Caroline must be choked by you and have nothing to say." Xu Nian put down the brush, walked to his side, and took his hand coquettishly.

Darcy embraced her in his arms, smelling the faint fragrance of her body, "Bella, I can't wait to marry you home."

"Wait until I tell my elder sister and elder brother. You have to be prepared to be made things difficult by my elder brother." Xu Nian leaned in his arms, and his broad shoulders made her feel at ease leaning on him.

"Don't worry, I wrote to Frank a long time ago to tell Frank my love for you. He was very irritable at first and threatened me to treat you well. For this reason, there was a man-to-man relationship between us. In the end, he boasted to me how excellent you are, how charming and cute you are, let me treat you well, otherwise, he will beat me up." Darcy said briskly.

Although Xu Nian didn't know that he had done so many things, but just by listening to him, he could know how much he had silently paid behind his back, but he didn't mention a word before and never asked for credit. To curry favor with her brother, she rubbed his shoulders and tightened her arms around his waist.

The horse is grazing not far away, the hound Jess is running on the grass, chasing the gray rabbit that came out of nowhere, and a man and a woman are embracing each other affectionately, all of which look so beautiful.

"Miss Elizabeth Bennet is here to visit?" The servant came in to report, and it was Elizabeth who was talking about, his voice could not hide his surprise.

It was cloudy outside, and the light in the house was not very bright. Darcy was writing letters on the round table by the window; Caroline sat beside him having breakfast, chattering endlessly, trying to get his attention; Bingley sat beside him. On the sofa, looking worried, because Jiying is sick.

There was a heavy rain yesterday evening. When Jane came to Netherfield, she rode her own horse. There was heavy rain on the road, and she developed a high fever that night. Now she can only stay in Netherfield to recuperate.It stands to reason that in such a gloomy weather, in order to avoid the rain, she should come by carriage.For this reason, Caroline despised Ji Ying very much, and it was too obvious to do it in order to get close to her brother.

"Please come in!" Caroline said to the valet, turned her head and rolled her eyes secretly, and said meaningfully to Darcy next to her: "It seems that Miss Elizabeth is very worried about her sister!"

The pen in Darcy's hand didn't stop, he lowered his head and wrote something seriously, and then casually answered, "They must be sisters."

The two were talking, and Elizabeth walked in. Her wide skirt was covered with mud and watermarks, and her boots walked on the floor, making a heavy sound, making muddy footprints one step at a time, and her hair was messed up by the wind. Her cheeks were flushed, but even so, it was hard to hide her beautiful appearance.

Darcy and Bentley greeted her, and Caroline's tone was full of shock and unspeakable ridicule: "God, did you come here?"

"Yes!" Elizabeth was also a little embarrassed. She was out of breath when she spoke because of the rush.

"Are you here to see Miss Jiying?" Bingley smoothed things over with a smile, and then led her to Jiying's room on the second floor. "She is resting on the second floor. The doctor has already seen her. She has a cold and has eaten. The medicine should heal soon."

Elizabeth smiled gratefully at Bingley, and went upstairs with him.

As soon as the two left, Caroline started her long speech, her tone was exaggerated, and she pretended to be surprised: "Oh, my God, her sister just has a cold, and she ran from Longbourn to Meryton with such a fuss? Do you see? Her hair is so disheveled, it looks so sloppy! And, do you see her skirt? It's got six inches of mud on it, and she thinks she'll pull the skirt down and she'll It's such a self-deception to cover up! You must see, Mr. Darcy, I suppose, that you would not like to see your own sister in such a state of distress?"

"Of course not." Darcy couldn't imagine Georgiana appearing in front of him at all, how would he react?

A reply from Darcy that seemed to open Caroline's mouth completely, "Three or five miles for no reason? Who knows how many miles? Slippery mud up to the ankle and all alone Alone! What on earth does she mean by that? I think she has shown a wild attitude without a tutor, and she is completely frivolous without manners."

"Miss Caroline, I'm writing a reply to my partner, can you be as quiet as possible?" Darcy didn't want to hear her complaints and dissatisfaction with Elizabeth, so he stopped Caroline's long speech in time, and he even Some regret, he should go to Notting Manor to visit Xu Nian today.

Just as Bingley came down from the stairs, he just overheard Caroline's last words, and defended, "That just shows that their sisters have a deep brotherhood, which is great."

"Brother, look at their..." Caroline wanted to say something angrily.Elizabeth came down from upstairs, she shut up angrily, and immediately put on a standard fake smile on her face, with a dignified demeanor.
