It has become a universally acknowledged truth that all rich bachelors always want to marry a wife.Whenever such a bachelor moves to a new place, although his temperament and opinions are completely unknown to the neighbors, since such a truth has long been ingrained in people's minds, people always regard him as their own. A certain daughter's rightful fortune. One day Mrs. Bennet said to her husband: My good lord, Netherfield has finally been rented out, have you heard of it? Mr. Bennet replied that he had not heard of it. It is indeed rented out, she said, and Mrs. Lange has just been here, and she told me all the details of the matter.

Mr. Bennet ignored her. Don't you want to know who rented it?The wife cried out impatiently. Since you want to tell me, it doesn't matter if I listen. This sentence was enough to encourage her to continue. oh!You must know, my dear, said Mrs. Lange, that the renter of Netherfield was a rich young man from the North of England; I am told that he came to see the house in a four-horse coach on Monday, and he looked very well. I like it, and I negotiated with Mr. Morris on the spot; he will move in before Michaelmas Day, and plans to call some servants to live in the next weekend. What is this person's name?

Bingley. A wife, or a bachelor? oh!A bachelor, my dear, a bachelor indeed!A wealthy bachelor; four or five thousand pounds a year.What a blessing for the daughters! How do you say that?What's the matter with daughters and daughters? My good lord, replied the lady, how you are so repulsive!I tell you what, I'm thinking, how nice it would be if he picked one of our daughters for his wife! Is he living here for this purpose? Intend!Nonsense, where are these words!However, he took a fancy to one of our daughters instead.As soon as he moves in, you'll have to pay him a visit. I don't have to go.Take your daughters with you, or perhaps it would be better if you sent them by themselves, for none of them can surpass your beauty in comparison with you, and you go, Bingley. Mister might pick you?

My good lord, you flatter me too much.In the past, some people did appreciate my beauty, but now I dare to say that there is something outstanding.A woman with five grown daughters should have no reason to think about her own beauty. From this point of view, a woman can't think much about her own beauty. But, my good lord, you should indeed go and see Bingley when he comes into our neighbourhood. To tell you the truth, it's not my job. For my daughter's sake.Just think about it, no matter which one of them, if they climbed into such a family, how good it would be.Sir William and Mrs. William had decided to call on him, and that was their intention.You know, they usually don't visit their new neighbors.You really ought to go once, and if you don't, tell us how to go.

You are too thoughtful.Mr. Bingley will be glad to see you; I can write you a letter, and say that I will gladly promise to marry any of my daughters he chooses; but I must Especially bragging for little Liz. I hope you don't.Liz was not in the least bit above the other daughters; not half Jane in beauty, I daresay, not half Lydia in temper.You are always partial to her. None of them deserved praise, he replied: they were as stupid and ignorant as other girls; but Liz was smarter than her sisters. My good master, why are you willing to spoil your own daughter like this?You're trying to annoy me on purpose to please yourself.You don't understand my nervous breakdown at all.

You have misunderstood me, my dear lady.I have a lot of respect for your nerves.They are my old friends.For at least the last twenty years, I have heard you mention them with deliberation. ah!You do not know how I suffer! But I hope your problem will get better, so that rich young men like this with an income of four thousand pounds a year, you can watch them move in as your neighbors one by one. If you don't want to visit them, what good will it do us if twenty move in! Don't worry, my good wife, when there are twenty, I will visit them one by one. Mr. Bennet is really an eccentric person. On the one hand, he likes to make jokes and sarcasm, but at the same time, he is unrestrained and unpredictable, so that his wife, after twenty-three years of experience, can't understand his character.A wife's mind is easy to analyze.She was an intellectually poor, ignorant, moody woman who considered a nervous breakdown whenever things went wrong.The great event in her life is to marry her daughter; the comfort in her life is to visit friends and ask for news.
