[Pride and Prejudice] Mrs Bennett

Happy days always pass quickly, and time flies by as the Bennetts flirt and raise their three children.They will stay at the ancestral home in Longbourne for about half a year, go to London at the beginning of the social season, and go to the Lake District or Derbyshire manor to cool off in the hottest time.

The three children in the family are also well adapted to this kind of life, and their favorites are the Lake District and Derbyshire.Among them, Dylan officially left home to go to school when he was six years old. In order to cultivate his independent living ability, Mr. Bennett only asked him to bring a servant who could help him with daily affairs.

Dylan, who went to school, grew up faster. The world of children is innocent but cruel.In their eyes, there is only good and bad, black and white, there is no so-called gray.

After Dylan went to school, Mrs. Wood became Jane's only governess.As for Liz, who is just two years old, she will be raised by Grace for the time being, and she will have a tutor only for her in a year.Mr. Bennet had taken care in finding a governess for Jane, and a suitable one had now been found.

Because of the excellent genes of their parents, all three children are good-looking.Not to mention the twins with blond hair and blue eyes, they have always been like princes and princesses in the eyes of the servants.The two-year-old little Liz has also opened her eyebrows and eyes. Although she is not as bright as her sister Jane, she is also delicate and cute.

Grace liked Liz more than the doll-like twins.Her facial features are not as deep as Jane's, and coupled with her dark eyes and dark brown hair, she looks a bit more oriental.

Perhaps such a look is not so brilliant in the eyes of the British, but in the eyes of Grace, it is in love.Even though she is no longer from Huaxia, her feelings for Huaxia have not changed in any way.For Liz, it's more of an empathetic role.

Grace knew very well that the French Revolution was less than a year away, and after the war in Europe ended, the European powers would show their iron teeth to the Qing Dynasty.But she didn't achieve anything, and could only watch the history that made her heartbroken continue to happen.Even with decades of experience in modern times, compared with those real heroes, she can only be regarded as an ordinary person.She can't reverse that history, all she can do is to ensure that the Bennett family will not make those blood money.

Thinking that the opium made from poppies grown in India would be dumped into the Qing Dynasty in large quantities, Grace felt chills all over his body.She can only pretend not to know, pretend not to see, she has no choice.Even if she is the Viscountess now, it's just a nice title.Neither the House of Representatives nor the House of Representatives has a role in the Bennett family, and she can't speak on state affairs. Even if she has a position, there is probably no one other than her who would object to the proposal to export opium to the Qing Dynasty.

Sometimes it's not a good thing to live again with the memory of the previous life, which is the case for Grace.Knowing something clearly, but being unable to stop it, this feeling of powerlessness rising from the bottom of my heart became more and more intense as time approached step by step.

Mr. Bennett noticed his wife's depression and restlessness, but Grace couldn't be honest with him.Unable to get an answer, he could only worry secretly, caring more and more about her to take care of her, taking care of her time outside of property management, and taking her and her two daughters out on a trip to relax.Of course, he will not forget his heir, Mr. Dylan, but the little gentleman Dylan can only travel with his family during the long vacation.

The year the twins were eight and little Liz was four was the year of [-], when the French Revolution began.When Grace could no longer suppress her anxiety, something finally diverted her attention.

Four years later, she became pregnant again.It was just because of overthinking, so after she fainted, Mr. Bennett anxiously asked the housekeeper to invite a doctor, and finally found that when she was pregnant, the fetus was not very stable in the mother's body.

Grace is a mother. Although the motherland in her previous life is important, so is the child in her belly!This is the continuation of her blood and the proof of her existence in this world.She finally pulled herself together and returned to normal, much to the relief of Mr. Bennett.

It's not in vain that he has been working hard to create a human to divert Grace's attention, and finally succeeded.

Grace was conceived when Liz was just four years old. Based on the pregnancy period, the delivery period will probably be in the spring of the next year.It's not bad, it's better than it was when Liz was born.Liz was born at the end of July, which was almost the hottest time, and she almost couldn't survive the confinement during that time.

But this time the baby has a good time, but it is very tossing her.After three months of pregnancy, she started to have morning sickness, throwing up whatever she ate.In order to ensure the impact of the baby in her stomach, she could only eat desperately, then vomit and eat again.Grace lost weight rapidly, which was in stark contrast to her growing belly. Mr. Bennett was so anxious that he asked people to find food suitable for pregnant women, and even scolded the fetus in his belly. .

"What's going on this time, the first three children are not so noisy." After Grace forced herself to drink a bowl of chicken soup, she covered her mouth and looked at her with a sad face, who was five months old and was about to give birth to someone else. The same belly, "Cecil, you said that this time it won't be twins again, right? What did the doctor say last week? I didn't notice what the doctor said, and I was disgusted."

Gently stroking Grace's round belly with his hand, feeling the baby's movement from time to time, Mr. Bennett said softly: "The doctor is not sure, but he said that you and the baby are both healthy." Hold her Because of the slender fingers with sharp bones, he said dissatisfiedly, "These doctors can only say that, you are so thin, and you are very healthy."

In the first two pregnancies, Grace became much plumper, which is completely different from this time.

"It's actually quite good, Cecil." Grace blinked, and said with a playful joke, "After giving birth, I don't have to work as hard to get back into shape as the first two times, which saves a lot of trouble."

Knowing that his wife was really comforting him, Mr. Bennett held her hand tightly and pressed it to his face: "Grace, I swear, only this time! We don't want any more children, we have enough family members! "

The previous two Grace pregnancies were very easy, but this time the pregnancy reaction was very serious, which made Mr. Bennett worry all the time.He knew from the book that pregnancy is a sacred and hard thing, but it was his wife who really felt it during this pregnancy.Moreover, she is getting older, and the danger of having another child may increase.

A warm current flowed through my heart, and Grace smiled and stretched out his hand to tap Mr. Bennett's forehead: "You, everyone wants to have children and grandchildren, and the more children the better, you are in the blessing and don't know the blessing."

"It's my blessing to have you by my side." Mr. Bennet carefully avoided her belly and hugged her. "You see, my mother is not the only one, and she and my father have always been very happy. The number of children does not matter. It doesn't matter, Grace."

"Speaking of which, I have a question, Cecil." Grace rested her head on her husband's chest to listen to his steady and powerful heartbeat, and a heavy sense of security surrounded her like that.

"What do you want to ask? As I said, I have nothing to hide from you."

"Does the Bennett family have twins?" Grace frowned, "Neither the Gardner family nor the mother's family." This time she guessed that they must also be twins, because she closed her eyes carefully If you listen, you can hear two heartbeats much faster than hers, which should be the heartbeats of two fetuses.

"The Bennett family probably doesn't have one." Mr. Bennett closed his eyes and thought about something carefully. "It seems that there are mothers. I heard that her cousins ​​had twins. But the Bennett family basically has nothing to do with them." Contact, so I don't know the details."

"Ah—" Grace left Mr. Bennett's arms and sat up straight, so frightened that he quickly supported her.

"Grace, be careful!"

"I'm sorry, I forgot." Grace smiled embarrassedly, "It's just that you mentioned your relatives and I remembered it. Yesterday Edward wrote to say that his family will not come to the Lake District for summer vacation this year, and his wife is also pregnant. !"

"This is a good thing. Now Edward should be relieved, and he doesn't have to look at me with that kind of resentful eyes every time we meet." Mr. Bennett teased with an unkind raised eyebrow.

Edward married his wife two years after Grace married, and eight years later, his wife was finally pregnant.As a father-to-be, he was of course ecstatic, writing letters everywhere to share his joy.He has always envied Mr. Grace Bennett, who has both sons and daughters!

"He said that Betty and Mr. Phillips were going to London to visit them together, but unfortunately we couldn't go." Grace was a little disappointed.Betty, like Grace, was a bride at 16.She married Phillips, old Mr. Gardiner's clerk, and the couple now opened a law firm in the town of Meryton, and had no children yet.

Ever since the Bennetts began summering in the Lake District or Derbyshire, the Gardners and Phillipses have been invited every year to cool off.Of course, the old Mr. Gardner and the others will not forget it, but after the old gentleman handed over his business to his son, he began to stay at home and refused to go out easily.He said that he has been busy all his life, and now he just wants to rest at home, and he doesn't want to do anything else.

"After the baby is born and you take care of yourself, we will visit them in London, okay?" Mr. Bennett coaxed her gently.

"Am I that capricious, Cecil?" Grace gave him a sideways glance, and actually spoke to her in such a coaxing tone.

"My Grace baby is never capricious," Mr. Bennett kissed her hard on the face, "but isn't the baby now pregnant?"

The temperament of pregnant women is always very strange, which is the most basic common sense. Mr. Bennett, who is pregnant for the third time, is already very experienced in dealing with Grace in this period.
