Miss Elizabeth Goldfinger Bennet

Chapter 22

Elizabeth and Jane bid farewell to their uncle's family and prepared to return to Longborn according to the itinerary.Suddenly, the servants reported that someone was coming to them.

"Excuse me, are these Miss Elizabeth and Miss Jane?" the visitor asked very respectfully.

"Yes! May I ask who you are?"

"Hi, Miss Bennett! My master asked me to give the two ladies some gifts. He said that he was very sad to say goodbye and hoped to meet again soon." After speaking, he presented the gift respectfully.

"Your master?"

"Mr. Darcy, this is a gift from Miss Darcy to the two ladies!"

"Thank you Georgiana very much! Please tell her our thanks for us." Jane still likes Miss Darcy very much, and of course she is very fond of this friend Jane.

"Thank you so much Miss Darcy, this is a little gift we prepared for her, take us to say hello to her!"

Watching the servants of Darcy's family leave, Jane finally asked Elizabeth in doubt.

"Licky, when did you prepare a gift for Georgiana? Why don't I know."

"I haven't, Jane!"

"Then what did you send?"

"Oh, I planned to give it to a friend earlier, but I never had a chance. I think this item is quite suitable for Miss Darcy, so I gave it to her first." I can tell you that this is my temporary gift. Did you buy it in the system?

Darcy House

It was Georgiana's own idea to send gifts to Elizabeth and Jane. First, she liked Jane as a gentle sister, and second, Georgiana hoped that through herself, her brother and Miss Elizabeth would have more opportunities to communicate.So she knew that it was a bit abrupt for her to do so, but she still sent a well-chosen gift.

But what she didn't expect was that Miss Bennet would give her a gift in return, which made her a little flattered, because according to the servant, the gift was given to her by Miss Elizabeth. The halberd sank into the sand many times.

"Brother, I didn't expect that Miss Elizabeth would prepare a gift for me!" Georgiana would never admit that she was showing off to her brother.

Darcy ignored his sister's ridicule and just read the book very seriously, if he ignored the pages of the book that hadn't been turned for a long time and the eyes that glanced at Georgiana from time to time.

Darcy's actions were of course seen by Georgiana, but it's rare for her "universal" brother to feel guilty. Could this be the power of love?

After watching her brother's joke, Georgiana was about to unwrap Miss Bennett's gift. To be honest, Georgiana didn't think it would be anything valuable. After all, her brother had told her about the situation of the Bennett family.But when the gift was presented to her, Georgiana was stunned!

"Brother, look at this, is this true?"

"What's the matter?" Darcy has been paying attention to this side, and when she heard Georgiana's voice, she immediately walked to her side, and then the well-informed Darcy was also stunned.Because there is a string of black pearl necklaces quietly placed in Georgiana's gift box.I saw that each bead was about the same size, and the color was black and bright. Under the light, it exuded a warm pearly luster, which was dazzlingly beautiful.You must know that even in modern times, the best black pearls are very valuable, not to mention that in this era when there is no artificial cultured pearls, the ladies in London, not to mention the ladies of the upper class in Europe I am very partial to pearls, but the collection really depends on manpower. It is not an easy task to collect pearls in the sea. Risks and opportunities always coexist.So such a string of necklaces is definitely qualified for the little nobles to regard as family heirlooms.But the modern Elizabeth gave it to a person whom he had only met a few times and was reluctant to make friends, which made the Darcy brothers and sisters suddenly at a loss for what to say.

"Brother, do you really have nothing with Miss Elizabeth? How could he and she give me such a precious thing? This can't be a family heirloom of the Bennett family! Miss Elizabeth took it wrong?"

"Georgianna, don't worry, as far as I know, the Bennett family will never have such a family heirloom, and Elizabeth will not make the mistake you said."

"Then what's the situation? You know this is really too expensive a gift! I dare not accept it."

"I think Miss Elizabeth is trying to tell us something. I don't know now, but I'll look into it. Since she has given such an obvious gift, it means that she is not going to hide anything! Since she gave it to you , based on what I know about her, I will never take it back, but you can put it away first, and wait until I finish the investigation."

"Okay, brother!"

Elizabeth didn't know anything about the things caused by the gift she gave. In fact, she chose to give pearls because Elizabeth gave her queen friend a set of black pearl jewelry the day before, and the quality of the black pearls in that set was top-notch.Seeing the queen so excited, Elizabeth was a little contemptuous, after all, the queen of a country is so excited.But then Elizabeth was forced to popularize the pearl's popularity.So Elizabeth, who didn't reflect back, subconsciously chose the black pearl when thinking of returning the gift to Miss Darcy.After all, the price of pearls in his own system is really not very expensive.

So that's how the misunderstanding came about.

........................

Elizabeth and Jane returned home smoothly, and they were welcomed by the whole family.Mr. Bennet was very dissatisfied that the two women had been away from home for so long.But these are not the first things to deal with now.

"Licky, come to my study."

"I knew it earlier, Dad."

Button ~

"Come in!"

"father!"

"Licky, you know your uncle sent me a letter that confused me saying you had an invitation from Buckingham Palace. You know, I thought your uncle was joking with me at first. But in view of your uncle's character and the seriousness of this matter, I don't think he would make jokes about such things. Besides, I'm not sure if this matter is related to you. You have always made people' Surprised' exists. So now dear, can you explain to your poor father his doubts?"

"Father, you actually know a little bit, after all, I've 'borrowed' your study room a lot, but I'd be more than happy to tell you about the whole process and the outcome of the whole thing......"

On this day, the father and daughter of the Bennet family talked for a long time in the study room, and the content of the discussion was not clear to others, but since that day, our little Mr. Bennet spent more time with his second sister.Mr. Bennet also lent his study to Elizabeth more frequently.Except for Jane, everyone in the Bennet House thought that his father wanted Elizabeth to accompany him more, because everyone in the family knew that Mr. Bennet's favorite daughter was Elizabeth.

Such behavior made Catherine and Lydia a little dissatisfied for a while, but they quickly forgot about it after their eldest sister gave them half of the allowance.Instead, we've been discussing what color headbands to buy next time we're in town.Andrew is very satisfied with being able to be with his second sister, but it would be great if he didn't have so much homework.

But what Andrew didn't know was that his sister and father had already discussed sending him to Eton College in London when he was a few years older.And before going to school, he needs to learn a lot. After all, most of his classmates will be nobles, and Andrew needs to learn to find friends, collaborators, etc. from these people.

So kid Andrew had his sister send him off on the elite road without realizing it at all.I don't know if he will regret that he was sold by his sister and father after he understands it.

Although the eldest sister of the Bennett family, Jane, and her father knew Elizabeth's net worth, they never thought about what they wanted from Elizabeth, nor did they disclose it to other family members.In the words of Mr. Bennett, if Mrs. Bennett or the two young ladies know about it, it means that the whole of Hertfordshire knows about it, and the Bennett family may never have peace again. Andrew is still too young.
