[Pride and Prejudice] Squire and Noble

This month is the season of autumn harvest. Before winter comes, everyone is willing to catch the tail of the sun and have a good time.You know, when the sunny season passes, the ball will no longer be a mainstream event. Ladies and ladies will stay at home by the fireplace, doing needlework, chatting, and practicing their talents.

Before that, Meryton caught the aftertaste of the dance trend very well, and everyone took turns to start the dance.

Jane is a gentle and good girl. As long as Mrs. Bennet asks her to go to the ball with her, she will not be able to refuse, nor will she be willing to refuse.Under certain force majeure factors, Isa also participated in several of the dances, but most of the time she still taught her younger sisters at home, waiting for the other party's reply, and planning everything about the Chelsea Manor.

The owner of Chelsea Manor, Alan Chelsea.

Indeed, as Mr. Bennet said, exaggerating a bit, his mistress could indeed circle the estate.However, few of these mistresses had a good death, most of them were women of very low status, and there were even prostitutes among them. Well cared for, they have long harbored a grudge.

And the workers in his manor, even the stewards and the managers of the ranch and botanical garden, etc., were not treated well. Instead, they owed their wages, and even treated them badly by relying on the attitude of the descendants of nobles.

It can be said that this person is almost full of weaknesses and loopholes.

However, what caught her attention was that she discovered that the old housekeeper and a ranch manager of the Chelsea Manor were specially sent for him by the deceased old viscount.The old butler had received professional training from aristocratic butlers, and the ranch manager was also from a prestigious university. It was a shame that he stayed at Chelsea Manor.

"Miss Elizabeth, I have a letter from you." The maid delivered the letter.

Mary and Jane immediately turned their heads to look at Isa, their eyes were full of curiosity.

Isa put down the needle and thread she was holding casually in her hand, walked to the small table beside her, and opened the flat and clean envelope.Inside is a piece of high-quality, slightly woody paper, and a string of beautiful and elegant fonts, which can be seen at a glance as written by a man. The strokes are strong and steady, green and upright, very personal.

----

Dear Miss Elizabeth Bennett:

I have read of your hopes in Henry's letters, and I think it worthwhile to set off for Hertfordshire, not far from where I am now.It's just that, before I finish my business and leave, I hope you can do some practical things to change the direction of my carriage. Miss Elizabeth, since you want to treat me as a business partner, then you don't mind if I do this to you reply.I wish you all the best in the beautiful sunshine.

Looking at the official inscription and time, it shows that this is an official letter, and it shows the rigorous attitude of the other party.He was not moved at all, and was even suspicious of Mr. Henry's too many praises. He is a rigorous person and never sloppy with his work, so naturally he would not believe it casually.

Isa ground her teeth, and from the attitudes of those who calmly accepted her words and responded lightly, it can be seen that this person is definitely not a rich man with money but no brains.

Well, do something practical to change his schedule, huh?

Isa quickly calmed down, outlined a smile, picked up a pen and began to write a reply.This time she wrote very briefly, with powerful fonts, and the last of the letters was calm and profound, showing her determination.

"——Dear Mr. TAC, I appreciate your attitude in handling affairs, and I agree with it very much. However, I would like to kindly remind you that after I have made a practical move, our cooperation method and what you need to pay The sincerity of cooperation will definitely improve, I believe you will not mind, right? As for whether I can do it, let us wait and see.—”

After sealing the letter and stamping the seal, Isa called the servant and sent the letter.

Mary and Jane looked at Isa who was leaving quickly, exchanged glances, then lowered their heads and continued their sewing.

Elizabeth has always been so busy, which has made them feel very normal.

Quickly walking into the study, Isa met Mr. Bennet's eyes. She put her hands on the desk, leaned forward, and said with shining eyes, "Dad, please send a visiting card to Chelsea Manor!"

Three days later, Mr. Bennet and the owner of Chelsea Manor fixed a time for a visit.

That night, Mr. TAC's letter came again, which shows that the distance between them is indeed not far as he said.

The reply to this letter is also very brief, with a slightly relaxed style of writing, "—of course, Miss Elizabeth, I will never be stingy with capable partners. In addition, if you need help, you can rest assured for Henry.—”

Isa read the above sentence and was very satisfied with this unmasked partner.

She appreciates this way of doing things, and just hopes, this isn't some lip-smacking hypocrite.

The next afternoon, Mr. Bennett took Isa to the family's carriage to Chelsea Manor.For this visit, Mr. Bennet was actually very unhappy. He couldn't understand this kind of dude the most in his life. He simply felt that the other party was wasting food, harming good people, and harming women.

This is also the reason why he did not bring Mrs. Bennet and the other daughters with him. You must know that the owner of the Chelsea Manor is too bad for his daughters to handle.

The carriage stopped, and the butler of Chelsea Manor came over to welcome them in person.

While walking, Isa observed everything in Chelsea Manor from the corner of her eye. From the outside, the manor still maintains its elegance, but if you take a closer look, you can find that the number of servants is insufficient and the tableware used is outdated. , there are almost no exquisite decorations, and there is a lot of space left for the portraits on the wall.

Yisha guessed that she probably sold a lot of things because of lack of money.

"Mr. Lauren, I heard that you are a professional aristocratic butler. I know that in a family, the excellence of the butler plays a very important role. I think you must be very respected and have done a lot for Chelsea Manor. Contribute less?" Isa said with a smile.

Mr. Lauren has the cultivation of a noble butler, but he obviously didn't receive the courtesy he deserved in this Chelsea Manor, and he didn't even have the rights he deserved.He smiled and replied, "That's true, but the most important thing in the rise and fall of a family is their owner. I, a useless butler, can't do much, Miss Elizabeth, I don't think I can afford your noble praise."

Everything is difficult at the beginning, but she seems to have found the breakthrough point at the beginning.
