Jie teaches the Immortal Sweeping Heaven’s Cultivation of All Heavens

Shortly after returning from town, Longbourn received an invitation.

The master of Netherfield Hall will hold a ball on Tuesday and invite the Bennet family to attend.

The names of Colonel Brandon and Liu Hiiragi were written on the invitation.

The Bennet women were so happy that they started preparing their dresses days in advance.

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

Lidya is not his fiancée, so why should he spend money on her.

Lydia didn't get the result she wanted, so she left angrily, complaining to her sisters that Liu Heng was stingy, and was scolded by Elizabeth.

Liddy really felt that her youngest sister needed a good education. She found her father and expressed her thoughts. Unfortunately, the results were not great. Mr. Bennet completely gave up on his little daughter who was very similar to his wife. .

"With your mother here, Lydia will not listen to my education." Mr. Bennet said.

He didn't want to cause trouble for himself.

Liddy had no choice but to leave Mr. Bennet's study in dismay.

On the day of the dance, Mr. Bennet did not go. He was old and did not like activities like dances.

Liu Heng and Colonel Brandon followed the Bennet family to the ball and were warmly entertained by Mr. Bingley.

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

Others, on the other hand, surrounded the two of them.

Colonel Brandon's identity made him the target of many ladies, including Mr. Bingley's sister and younger sister, who also came to chat with Colonel Brandon.

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

Regarding Liu Heng, Miss Catherine's attitude was much more perfunctory.

I think it was because Liu Heng was Liddy's cousin that he was disliked by Miss Catherine.

After Liu Heng exchanged greetings with the men present, he walked to the corner and sat down, quietly watching the fun happening at the dance.

Miss Liddy danced with Mr. Darcy. They were talking about something and their expressions were not very good.

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

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

Colonel Brandon was dancing with a lady. The two were talking while dancing, and they seemed to be getting along very well.

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

The original wife of William Collins!
Liu Heng sweated.

In fact, Charlotte is a good woman.

Except for the fact that she has no dowry and a slightly ordinary appearance, she is no worse than the Bennet girls.

This girl is very smart, even smarter than Liddy, the heroine, and can see the situation more clearly.

This girl is a very good housekeeper.

Mr. Collins in the original novel was lucky to have Charlotte as his wife.

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

A man walked towards the corner. Liu Heng took a closer look. Isn't this Mr. Darcy?

He and Liddy are separated? !
Mr. Darcy was surprised when he noticed someone in the corner.

He nodded towards Liu Heng and sat down on the chair on the other side.

Liu Heng saw that Mr. Darcy's face was not very good, so he thoughtfully said nothing and gave him a space to sort out his emotions.

But Liu Hiiragi is considerate, which does not mean that others are considerate. No, the disturber is here.

Miss Catherine sat down next to Mr. Darcy and began to look for something to say.

For the sake of his friend, Mr. Darcy endured Miss Catherine's unsatisfactory words.

His brows furrowed tighter and tighter, looking like it was hard to endure.

Liu Heng sympathized with Mr. Darcy and stood up to leave.

He doesn't want to continue to be the third party.

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

Liu Heng smiled: "I haven't seen it before. You should have heard my name from Mrs. Debelle."

After being reminded, Mr. Darcy remembered: "Are you the Marquis Collins?"

Liu Heng responded with a smile: "Yes. Mr. Darcy, I often hear your name from Mrs. Debel. Madam has always been proud to have a nephew like you."

Mr. Darcy said: "Auntie is too flattering. Compared with you, I am not as good as you."

"Marquis?" Catherine pointed at Liu Heng and exclaimed, "Are you actually a marquis?"

How can it be? How could the Bennets have noble relatives when they were just country folk?

is that a lie?

"Miss Catherine, you are rude."

Mr. Darcy reminded Catherine.

"I'm sorry." Catherine quickly put down her hand, lifted up her skirt and saluted Liu Heng, "Please forgive me for being rude."

Liu Heng smiled and said: "It doesn't matter."

Catherine was in a trance. She really couldn't accept that Elizabeth had a relative with a powerful background.

With the Marquis as her backer, wouldn't Elizabeth's advantage be greater than hers?

Catherine had no intention of talking to Mr. Darcy and showing off her elegance.

Mr. Darcy breathed a sigh of relief, and his favorable impression of Liu Zhi increased greatly, and he started chatting with Liu Zhi.

After chatting, I found that Liu Hiiragi was more knowledgeable and insightful, and had a lot in common with me. Mr. Darcy and Liu Hiiragi chatted more enthusiastically.

Later, Colonel Brandon joins their chat.

Mr. Darcy and Colonel Brandon have more in common.

The two have similar personalities, similar family backgrounds, equally respected characters, and they both feel like confidants to each other.

After the dance, Colonel Brandon and Liu Heng said goodbye and left. Both Mr. Darcy and Colonel Brandon felt that they still had something to say. They made an appointment to meet next time and planned to go fishing and hunting together.

It wasn't until all the guests left that Mrs. Hurstow noticed something strange about her sister. She stepped forward with concern and asked: "Catherine, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

Catherine looked at her sister and said, "Elizabeth's cousin is actually a marquis!"

"What?" Mrs. Hurstow said in shock, "What nonsense are you talking about? How can that Mr. Collins be a noble?"

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

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

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

Mr. Darcy nodded: "Yes, Mr. Collins is a marquess, personally named by the Queen. He is also a neighbor of my aunt, Mrs. de Bell."
