#1870 arrogant your prejudice (thirteen)
But, what's the use of being angry anymore?
Wickham secretly wiped the white porcelain powder on his face. The delicate powder didn't even have any dregs, which was even finer than the flour grinding from the mill.
Who would have thought that these powders used to be a fine porcelain tea cup?
It was terrible, so terrible. He never knew that his newlywed wife had such a strange power!
He has been pampering since childhood, but when he grew up, he leaned on his face and mouth to coax the people around him, and had never suffered any hardships.
The time he came to London to hide from gambling debts was probably his most embarrassing and darkest days.
But even so, he has never been beaten.
Of course, if he does not repay his gambling debts in time, he may be covered in bruises and even become disabled by those cruel and ruthless creditors.
But isn’t this another sucker sending a check?
Still relying on his face and mouth, he successfully survived the disaster.
So, Wickham never suffered much more than twenty years before his life.
But at this moment, facing the smiling "Lydia", he felt inexplicably fearful.
He had no doubt that if he angered his wife, his fate would never be better than those two teacups!
He couldn't afford to offend him, even if he didn't like his wife's attitude of treating him as a pet, he wouldn't dare to show any dissatisfaction.
In addition, the wife is not blindly powerful and intimidating.
When the group entered Meriton, Wickham bounced the check in his hand. Although the number on it was only one hundred pounds, it was enough for him to spend two days in the town.
This money was given by my wife!
And Wickham felt that as long as he continued to coax his wife, there might not be a lot of money, but his wife would definitely be indispensable for the scattered expenses!
This is enough!
The ideal life for Wickham is to marry a rich wife. He doesn’t have to do anything. He just needs to coax his wife and you will have a steady stream of money!
He is living this kind of life now.
Why should he worry about his husband and lover?
As long as he has money to spend and drink, he can also gamble with friends from time to time, he will be satisfied.
You know, in the past, in order to live such a life, he even wanted to get close to Miss Jin, who was mediocre.
And "Lydia" is much more beautiful than Miss Jin, and is more lively and bright!
If you think from these perspectives, it is also very good to maintain such a marriage relationship with your wife - he continues to speak sweetly, and she will support him!
"At least Lydia is beautiful and young!" Wickham persuaded himself more than once.
Yes, when he was chased by his creditors and fled in a panic, he even made the idea of finding an elderly rich woman!
On the way back to Longborn from London, Wickham quickly figured it out.
He carefully observed and confirmed that although his wife was very powerful, she would not be arrogant and arrogant.
As long as he coaxes sweetly and acts like a perfect lover, his wife will be kind to him.
If you are happy, you will also give him ten or twenty pounds of pocket money.
If he coaxed him well enough, his wife would occasionally give him a check of 100 yuan.
Anyway, he still has no need to give anything, but he can still live a life of food and clothing without worries, which is already very fulfilling.
So, when the group returned to Longborn, Wickham had become accustomed to and fell in love with his wife!
Isn't it just coaxing women?
He is doing it!
"Hi, good morning!"
"Miss Jin, it's been a long time since I saw you! Mr. Wickham and I are married!"
"We're married!"
"Wu night, dear Sir Lucas, I haven't seen you for a long time, you are still such a gentleman!"
After the carriage entered Longborn, Anne hung half of her body on the car window.
Along the way, no matter who she saw, she greeted her warmly, and raised her hand wearing a wedding ring, fearing that others would not see it!
Especially when she meets young ladies or wives who have daughters of marriageable age at home, she is extremely proud and ostentatious.
Wickham was beside her with a doting look on his face, like a peerless and good husband who loved his wife deeply.
When everyone first saw Annie, their expressions were a little complicated. They really didn't know what attitude they should use to respond to the other party's show-off.
But when you see Wickham like a perfect lover, he will never leave his wife. In his charming and deep eyes, he will feel inexplicable envy.
Even though they already knew that Wickham was not a good person, and he was despicable and he was a gambler, he had an undeniable handsome face.
Especially when he is willing to coax people, many people cannot reject his charm.
But such a love affair became a good husband who loved his wife deeply.
While this amazes everyone, I can't help but sigh: Lydia seems to be very powerful, and she can actually conquer a man like Wickham!
Anne clearly felt the eyes of everyone and nodded in her heart: So, it is not all bad to leave Wickham.
There was no divorce law in England in this era.
However, it is not completely impossible for both husband and wife to separate.
Annie can come up with several ways.
But Anne didn't want to try it easily.
First, she had to consider the original Lydia's idea.
At least for Lydia, who just got married, she liked Wickham very much and didn't want to be separated from him at all.
Of course, perhaps one day, the selfish and frivolous Lydia will fall in love with others, but it is definitely not now.
Second, Anne also considers the reputation of this identity.
When you elope, you can only use marriage as a fig leaf in the end.
If the newlyweds are less than a month old and they make another joke of separation, Lydia's reputation will be completely ruined.
This is what it feels to consider the fan Wen Lydia!
Alas, there is no way, who made her two wishers for this mission?
And the two Lydias' wishes have a conflicting side.
One wants reputation and the other wants happiness. If Anne wants to complete the task smoothly, she can only find a way out.
There is another more important reason to keep Wickham, her husband.
At present, married women have much higher freedom than unmarried ladies.
And Anne is having a bigger plan, and needs Mrs. Wickham as a cover-up!
Of course, these are all later stories.
For Anne now, the most important thing is to enjoy the joy of her newlyweds and the wonderful time to reunite with her relatives.
"Oh, my poor Lydia, you're really suffering!"
"My child, let me see you, you seem to be getting more beautiful again. You are becoming more and more like me!"
Mrs. Bennett's tone was exaggerated and intimate. She hugged her dear daughter and talked endlessly.
She had five daughters in her life, and the thing she longed for the most was to marry her daughter happily.
I thought that the first one to get married was her best eldest daughter, Jane, but I didn’t expect that the youngest and most like her little daughter would grab the top spot.
