Miss Elizabeth Goldfinger Bennet
Chapter 4
A day later, Bennett's restaurant.
Mrs. Bennet took a sip of the French soup and squinted her eyes in satisfaction.
"Oh! It's a blessing to know that you can eat food from other countries at home."
"For this matter, we should all thank Lizzy, you know I can't believe that she can cook these delicacies as long as I read the cooking method! With Lizzy's suggestion, of course, Mrs. Hawke's craftsmanship is getting better and better now .”
Elizabeth’s culinary skills already have 9 points of master-level cooking skills, and she has dabbled in classic cuisines from various countries. Of course, Elizabeth does not mind sharing her own delicacies with everyone, and she will teach Mrs. Hawke some of your favorite dishes. The food of Bennett's family quickly rose to N grades.
Mrs. Bennet put down her knife and fork, and looked at her husband curiously, "My good lord, I know you have already visited Mr. Bingley. How does Mr. Bingley look? And his friends?" Well, Mr. Darcy?"
Except for Elizabeth, who was eating quietly, the sisters all looked at their father, their eyes shining brightly. They were the age of young girls Huaichun, and they were full of yearning for handsome men, especially a rich man suitable for marriage.
"He's a handsome young man, and very gentle. His friend is quite the opposite, haughty, quite haughty!" Mr. Bennet emphasized.
"That's because he has the capital of arrogance. Appropriate pride will make the handsome young man look more charming, not to mention that he still has an annual income of [-] pounds." Mrs. Bennet waved her hand indifferently, to her That gentleman has an income of £[-], which covers all his shortcomings.
"That's right, I hope you will keep the same idea in the future." Mr. Bennett smiled with interest.
As soon as Elizabeth heard Mr. Bennet say this, he knew that Mr. Darcy must be very 'impressed' on him.
"Miss Elizabeth, here is your letter."
Elizabeth had just finished her meal and took the letter from the maid. As soon as she saw the address in London, she knew that there must be something important.
"Daddy, can I use your study?"
"Of course!"
The letter was sent by Elizabeth's manager, "Miss Field". When Elizabeth was 15 years old and visited her uncle in London, she rescued a pair of sisters and brothers on the streets of London. The Field siblings were desperate when Elizabeth saw them. , because their father never came back after he went to sea.And their mother has long since passed away, so it is not easy for orphans with little property to live in the city of London.The life of the bottom people in London is actually extremely difficult, and the gap between the rich and the poor is unimaginable.Elizabeth meets them when Miss Field is going to be a 'social butterfly'.What happened next was actually a bit bloody. After a short contact with Elizabeth, I knew that the Field brothers and sisters were very talented businessmen, and their personalities seemed to be good. Elizabeth had always had a good eye for this, so the Field brothers and sisters became Elizabeth's men.In five years, Elizabeth has owned her own clothing company, restaurant chain, cosmetics company, and lady salon. These are industries that the Li family has been involved in before, and Elizabeth is more familiar with them.Of course, although Mr. Field is capable, so many industries cannot be managed by one person. Therefore, with the increase of industries in recent years, Elizabeth has three generals: Mr. Field is in charge of the clothing company, and Miss Field is in charge of the cosmetics company and the ladies salon.Mr. Wood is the head of the restaurant chain.Of course, Elizabeth was able to trust them so much thanks to the three 'Master and Servant Talismans' rewarded by the system.This kind of cheating tool is the best choice for people like Elizabeth who cannot personally manage the industry.
Most of Elizabeth's industries are aimed at the upper class, and the so-called upper class is the best money-making object for Elizabeth.Elizabeth had little hope of finding a suitable husband in this day and age.Under the circumstances that this lady's status is so low that she can't even belong to her own dowry, Elizabeth feels that there is a great possibility that she will be single in her life.Since she can't rely on others in the future, she can rely on herself. Anyway, Elizabeth also relied on herself after her parents passed away in her previous life, and none of those relatives with ill intentions ended well.Earn enough money to last a lifetime, and Elizabeth bought enough land three years ago in the next county next door to Longborn, where a more avant-garde manor for this era is being built.Elizabeth herself built the home 'Rose Manor' for herself.Those properties can bring Elizabeth millions of pounds in income every year, except for some that are invested in the company's operations, the rest are mostly spent on this manor.All varieties of roses that Elizabeth can buy from the system will be planted inside. Roses have been her favorite flowers in past and present lives.
And Field's letter is to tell Elizabeth that the 'Rose Manor' has been built.All that remained were some late decorations, and the manor was built exactly to Elizabeth's specifications.And she is waiting for her master's acceptance.
Although Elizabeth really hoped that she could go to see her home immediately, but it is obviously not possible now. Now Mrs. Bennet is determined to get rid of Elizabeth's dislike of going to dances, and now the two rich young men live in Netherfield Garden , the ball is of course essential.
Meryton and Sir Lucas's house were already full of people, drinking and drinking. Although the scene was not comparable to a large-scale ball in London, the warm and cheerful atmosphere still made people nostalgic.In addition to our Miss Elizabeth, Elizabeth also often attends dinner parties in modern times, but the 'tango' and 'waltz' that Elizabeth likes are not here. Does the dance here make Elizabeth feel that she is not dancing but dancing?So after arriving at Sir Lucas's mansion, Elizabeth chatted with her best friend Charlotte Lucas, revealing all over her body, "I'm having a good time chatting with my friends now, it's very ungentlemanly to interrupt a lady's conversation, So please keep your distance. 'Information.
"Lizzie, I really don't know why you don't like to dance. You have to know that you are the goddess of the whole of Longborn. You have to know how many gentlemen hope to win your favor."
"Charlotte, you know I don't like gentlemen looking at my face like idiots and being their bragging rights, it drives me nuts! Hey, let's not talk about that, I heard that North of England The young master Kuo who came here is going to the dance today?"
"Oh yes Lizzy, I thought you knew about them too."
"As a matter of fact, quite clearly, you know my mother's constant talk these days is, what's that called, oh Mr. Bingley, and his five thousand or nine thousand a year?" Elizabeth originally didn't want to speak so harshly of others, but Mrs. Bennet's torture to her these past few days really broke people, so Mr. Bingley was unfortunately angered.
The arrival of Bingley and his party aroused everyone's attention. For young, handsome and rich unmarried men and women, there are always many people who are willing to make friends.The flattering crowd came and went without a break, and Miss Bingley and Mrs. Hurst enjoyed it very much.
Mr. Horst plunged into the game, Bingley was absent-mindedly talking to several ladies, but his eyes were fixed on Jane dancing on the dance floor.
Darcy stood in a quiet corner, because of his stern face and silent attitude, many people who tried to talk to him retreated, and the young unmarried woman could only pay attention to his tall back.He is a real nobleman with a heavy sense of oppression and distance.Darcy was very satisfied with his cold reception. He paced around, took a glass of red wine, found the most remote sofa to sit down, and then sipped expressionlessly.
Elizabeth knew all about what happened at the ball, but Mr. Bingley had nothing to do with her.Sitting on the sofa in the corner, resting her forehead on her left hand, shaking the wine glass with her right hand, her posture was lazy and casual, as if she was not at a lively dance party at all.Elizabeth's 'out of the ordinary' performance caught the attention of Darcy who was also hiding in the corner.And he soon recognized Elizabeth as the lady on the horse.
So Darcy involuntarily began to observe this distinctive young lady, seeing that although her movements were casual, she was very elegant, and that kind of temperament was deeply rooted in her bones, as if she was born with it (thanks to Mr. System for many years of cultivation, habits are terrible).The presence of such a girl in this country made Darcy very curious.
As soon as the dance was over, Darcy stood up, and was stopped by Miss Bingley before she could go a few steps, "Darcy, would you like to dance with me for the first time?"
Darcy hesitated for a few seconds, then took her hand expressionlessly.After dancing, he turned to look at the sofa by the dance floor, and found that the lady and her friend were smiling and talking about something.
He pursed his lips and walked to the very edge of the ballroom, exuding an air of keeping strangers away.Halfway through the dance, he didn't move a single step, and his stern eyebrows scared many people away.
Mr. Bingley, after a few minutes' respite from dancing, approached his friend, and compelled him to dance, just as Elizabeth overheard the conversation between the two.
"Come on, Darcy," said Bingley, "I must have you dance. I don't want to see you standing here so stupidly by yourself. Go and dance." Thought he was here to collect debts Elizabeth thought.
"I'll never dance. You know how much I've always hated dancing, except with people I know very well. It's unbearable to dance at a party like this. Your sisters are all dancing with other people, and if you tell them not to Every woman dances with me, and there is no one who will not make me suffer." It turned out that this Mr. Darcy was having an affair with Miss Bingley over there, Elizabeth thought.
"I don't want to be picky like you," cried Bingley, "at any rate; and I will tell you, I never saw so many lovely girls in my life to-night; some of them, you see, are very pretty." Peerless."
"Of course you're glad you're the only pretty girl in the room dancing with you!" said Mr. Darcy, looking at the oldest lady in the Bennet house.
Mr. Bingley had a good eye, and he took a fancy to the beautiful Jane.
"Oh! I never saw such a beauty! But there's a sister of hers sitting right behind you, and she's pretty too, and I dare say she's lovely, as pretty as Jane, don't you remember?" , a girl riding a horse that we met on our way here. Let me ask my partner to introduce you."
"Which one are you talking about?" He turned around and looked at Elizabeth for a while. When she saw him, he retracted his gaze and said coldly, "She's okay, but not yet." She is so beautiful that it touches my heart, and I am not interested in praising those ladies who are treated with cold eyes by others. You should go back to your dance partner to admire her smiling face, and you don't need to waste time on me. "
After Mr. Bingley had gone away as Mr. Darcy had said, Darcy himself went away.Elizabeth still sat there, and she really didn't like Mr. Darcy.If this Mr. Darcy treats his business partner in the same way, Elizabeth is very worried about whether the annual income of [-] pounds really exists, and she is even less interested in this man who feels very good about himself.
Mrs. Bennet generally passed the evening happily, and Mrs. Mount Bingley invited her to dance twice, and the nobleman's sisters all regarded her with special admiration.Mrs. Bun seemed to be very proud that all the Netherfield family loved her eldest daughter so much.Jane was as proud as her mother, only not so loudly.Elizabeth made no comment on this.Mary had heard herself mentioned before Miss Bingley as the most talented girl in the neighbourhood, and though she thought her second sister was more talented than herself, any girl who didn't like to be praised Catherine and Lydia were not without a partner for that one dance, and that was the only thing they cared about at every ball.
Mrs. Bennet was going to wait until the last one left, but Elizabeth told her that she was not at ease when Andrew was alone at home. Mrs. Bennet immediately said goodbye to the master and went back.Elizabeth had to admit that Andrew was the trump card again.
Mrs. Bennet took a sip of the French soup and squinted her eyes in satisfaction.
"Oh! It's a blessing to know that you can eat food from other countries at home."
"For this matter, we should all thank Lizzy, you know I can't believe that she can cook these delicacies as long as I read the cooking method! With Lizzy's suggestion, of course, Mrs. Hawke's craftsmanship is getting better and better now .”
