[Pride and Prejudice] Squire and Noble

"Oh, what you said is too modest. Which of the butlers who graduated from the Noble Butler Academy is not a good helper who is all-round and exquisite. They can always handle things in an orderly manner and manage the relationship network with ease. Their Ability is always admirable."

Of course, Isa could feel that Mr. Lauren was not satisfied with Mr. Chelsea. You must know that most housekeepers can get dividends from the owner's family property, but Chelsea Manor is so poor and white, it must be nothing at all. Benefits, let alone any comfort and honor.

But Isa didn't point it out, she just asked with a smile, "Then Mr. Lauren, excuse me for asking, do you work for Mr. Chelsea or the Chelsea Manor?"

Shrewdness and speculation flashed in the gentle eyes of the other party. He looked at the person, bowed and replied, "I used to work for Mr. Viscount Chelsea, but when he sent me here Tell me, and let my heart go to the master of Chelsea."

This answer is very clever, specious, and it is really a good answer.

Isa appreciated it in her heart, nodded and stopped talking.

As the host being visited, Mr. Cheers was unable to get up because he was drunk last night, so he rudely asked Mr. Butler to take them to visit the manor by himself.Unexpectedly, however, Isa and Mr. Bennett saw one of Mr. Chels' mistresses.Mr. Chells has countless mistresses. It may be because of his drinking all day long and his lack of temperance that his body has been hollowed out, so he has no sons or daughters.

Isa glanced at the woman, and finally asked Mr. Lauren to take a tour of the Chelsea Manor.

While visiting, Isa talked to Mr. Lauren, and Mr. Bennett followed behind, talking to the manager of the ranch.They couldn't hear each other's conversation, which made Isa feel relieved.

Next, while speaking, Isa expressed her meaning implicitly but clearly.Both my sister and my mother said that it is better to control those who will help them handle everything properly than to do everything by themselves.As princesses, they don't need to know everything in all fields, but they need to know how to control and use those who know to achieve their goals.

In the end, Mr. Lauren shrewdly sent Mr. Bennett and Isa outside alone.

He reminded, "Mr. Chelsea has a very powerful creditor. He owes the other party seven thousand pounds, and he has no ability to repay it. Mr. Viscount Chelsea has severed contact with him long ago." The viscount mentioned here is naturally Elder brother of Alan Chelsea.

Isa looked down at him from the side of the carriage, with an elegant smile, "There is no doubt that you are sensible and intelligent, Mr. Lauren."

As the carriage drove away, Mr. Bennett looked at his proud daughter and said, "Honey, that excellent ranch manager, Mr. Wood, expressed his willingness to surrender to us, and he will try his best to cause disturbance in the manor."

"Dad, you are amazing!" Isa's eyes lit up.

"Where is our little Isa better?" Mr. Bennet kissed her forehead affectionately, "My dear, there is no doubt that you are already a lady who can fully grasp the social rhythm."

Now everything is on track, but money is still a big problem.

Mr. Bennett said that he can spend up to [-] to [-] pounds, which includes the dowry prepared for them, which is all the available money of the Bennett family.Along the way, Isa was thinking about what else could get money quickly, and then she found that she couldn't think of anything other than the resources in the manor.

Then, out of the blue, an adventurous idea popped into my mind.

The next day, she really went to ask Mr. Henry for help. Of course, she didn't want to do such an inappropriate move as borrowing money, but just wanted to find a way to sell fruit trees, sheep, and crops quickly.Mr. Henry and Mr. TAC did not live up to her expectations, and replied to her inquiry that a large amount of crops could be sold quietly within half a month at the earliest, but correspondingly, the price may be reduced.

Of course Isa has no problem, what she needs most now is speed.

Under her planning, Longbourne was emptied out almost silently. More than a month later, a big change happened in Longbourn.

This accident made everyone look at the Bennet family with sympathy. Mrs. Bennet's eyes were red from crying, and she shed tears all day long. The sisters were all terrified.

That night, a fire swept through the entire estate of the Bennett family!

Because it was early in the morning, everything was not discovered in time. By the time the Bennett family felt something unusual, the fire had already spread to the botanical garden!All the fruit trees were destroyed, and overnight, the Bennett family's cattle, horses, sheep, fruit trees, and crops were all reduced to a pile of scorched ashes!

At the same time, a sum of money came into Yisha's hands.

Everything that followed went very smoothly beyond expectations.

Mr. Lauren came forward under the instructions of Isa, and as an intermediary, reached an agreement with the creditor who aggressively came to collect the debt and claimed to kill Mr. Chelsea and Mr. Chelsea. The content of the agreement was that Elizabeth replaced Chelsea. Mr. repays the debt of [-] pounds, and Mr. Chelsea signs a contract to "gift" the Chelsea estate to Mr. Bennett.

This piece of land is not restricted by the law of limited heirship. Mr. Bennett decided that after a hundred years, he must pass on this piece of land that Isa personally acquired to her.

After comforting Mrs Bennett and the sisters, Isa invested the rest of the money in the redevelopment of Longbourn.

Of course, this is just meaning, she doesn't intend to put too much thought into this land.

The father and daughter hid in the study room. Isa looked at the contract in black and white and the signature under the real estate. She felt a sense of honor in her heart, "Dad, this matter can't be made public so quickly. Otherwise, it would be too suspicious."

"Of course, Isa, as long as my dear wife is appeased."

They smiled at each other, her heart was ignited, and a small cluster of flames seemed to light up in her eyes. She said in a low voice but firmly, "The Bennett family will definitely be prosperous!" Although the road to the sun is still It will take a long time, but she and the Bennetts can afford it.

"Yes, I believe so too, my dear Isa." Mr. Bennet smiled.

"However, my poor cousin Collins who has never met will be so angry that he won't be able to eat for a year." Isa suddenly thought of this, and couldn't help covering her mouth and giggling.It is said that this cousin's father has no good relationship with his own father at all, but they want to inherit their land for no reason, so they can't help but blame him.

Back in the house, Isa had a rare insomnia with an excited heart.

She simply got up, put on her coat, lit a lamp and began to write a letter to the long-lost Mr. TAC.Her eyes shine brighter than the moonlight in the night, and when she writes a letter, the words on the letter paper are full of joy, and the tails of the letters can't help but fly lightly, showing her happy mood at the moment.

——Dear Mr. TAC:

I think you should mark Hertfordshire on your itinerary, the estate full of high-quality wine vines is already in the name of the Bennett family, and those lovely grapes have finally arrived in my arms , I believe this should be regarded as a practical matter, Mr. TAC?

Winter has come and the weather is getting colder. If you don't come again, the lovely grapes will freeze to death one after another.At the same time, I would like to express my sincere thanks to you and Mr. Henry, without your help, we would not have succeeded so quickly.

The Bennett family sincerely looks forward to your arrival. At that time, I think I will be honored to lead you to visit the Chelsea Manor. No, it will be renamed Bell Wine Estate in the near future.

Sincerely,

Elizabeth Bennett -

Letters were answered quickly.

— Dear Miss Elizabeth:

I have heard of your great event and am looking forward to having such a young partner.The itinerary to Hertfordshire has been solemnly marked, and I will rush there as soon as I finish dealing with the matter here.I think this winter may not be boring anymore. ——

Isa repeatedly looked at the still calm and steady font on the paper, and the other party's reply was always very concise, as clean and neat as his brushstrokes, without any delay.She dragged her chin and looked out at the somewhat cold air, thinking, that must be a busy person.The scenery in Longbourne is no longer good. Although the surrounding area is being rearranged, it is still a bit empty. Mrs. Bennet is always disturbing her nerves, and often goes to Sir Lucas's Lou's Manor to breathe.

The sun always comes after the storm, Isa said.

After writing the reply, she put on a windbreaker, wrapped herself tightly, and rode in a carriage against the wind to Cheers Manor.

When Mr. Lauren heard that she was coming, he waited there early, "Miss Elizabeth, I have distributed wages to all the workers according to your instructions, and asked them to start selling some of the things in the botanical garden. Transplant the vines to the best location."

Yisha smiled, "You are indeed an excellent housekeeper."

Under the operation of Mr. Wood, the ranch has also returned to the right track. Isa does not intend to completely transform a manor into a grapevine plantation at once, but to do it step by step.In this way, retaining the pasture and potato production in front can give the Bennett family another part of their income. Although the money is very little due to the richness of the Cheers Manor in front, and it needs to be invested in construction, it is better than nothing. up.

"Mr. Lauren, the season waits for no one, please pick all those grapes intact, put them away, and then let me know." At that time, she will start making the first batch of wine.

Then she waved the servants back, took the drawing board and walked to the current vineyard, and began to draw a picture looking at the lovely vines.Her brush strokes are delicate and lively, and her colors are bright. A painting is so beautiful that the whole afternoon is spent in her painting.

When she got home, she shrunk down the sketch of the large oil painting on letter paper and sent it out.

A week later, the other party wrote back again.

"First of all, I want to give my sincere compliments, this painting is really beautiful. At the same time, I am sorry that I have missed Jiaqi admiring the vines after all. Miss Elizabeth, let's meet at the ball in a week's time Let's go." It was still concise words, and an invitation card was attached, inviting the Bennett family to go.

Isa let out a breath, looking at the exquisite gold-plated invitation letter, a bright smile appeared on the corner of her lips.
