Uniform unicorn

Lydia of the Bennet family had eloped with Wickham, and the news instantly ignited the entire Longbourne gossip circle.The Bennetts have been too dazzled lately.

First, the eldest daughter of their family was abandoned by Mr. Bingley.Although this made people read some jokes, most people sympathized with Miss Jane Bennet.After all, everyone can see Mr. Bingley's pursuit of Miss Jane.If it were a girl from their family, she would probably be as happy as Miss Jian, and would be waiting for her to propose.

But what happened now made them doubt the upbringing of the Bennett family.Wickham's character is well known, Lydia wants to elope with him, is it stupid or shameless.

"If you ask me, I'm not surprised that Lydia would do such a thing. Just look at her coquettish appearance at the ball and you can tell that she is not a quiet girl."

"Yeah, I've seen Lydia flirting with those red uniforms more than once at the ball. That's a coquettish smile."

"I also reminded Mrs. Bennet that those red uniforms are not good people. It's a pity that Mrs. Bennet also seems to like red uniforms. She has no objection to her daughter marrying one of them, but is very supportive."

"Yeah, she also said that Lydia is the most similar to her, and they both like red uniforms."

"Poor Mr. Bennet."

"Originally, it was difficult for the Miss Bennet family to marry a good family because of the dowry. With such a family, it is difficult for Mr. Bingley to marry Miss Jane. They are really wise."

"........."

After leaving Lucas's house, Albert heard a lot of gossip along the way. It is said that Mr. Bennett has been sick in bed, and now the Bennett family is in charge of the eldest lady and the second lady of the Bennett family. .

Netherfield Manor

"William, what is this?" He looked like he was going on a long trip.

"I'm going to find Wickham, no matter what, I'm also responsible for this matter."

"Are you responsible? What are your responsibilities?" Albert was at a loss.

Darcy glanced at his friend, he trusted Albert, so he whispered about Wickham's deception of Georgiana.

"If I had told everyone the true face of Wickham earlier, such a thing would not have happened." Darcy blamed himself.

Albert: ………

Why didn't you say it earlier, if I said it earlier, I didn't find someone to expose his true colors, but directly tied him to Africa.

"What does this have to do with you? Hasn't Wickham's true identity been known, but the lady of the Bennet family has eloped with him anyway?" Is there any British connection in this?

"If I hadn't softened my heart and let people go, no innocent girls would have been deceived by him." Darcy always felt that Wickham was partly responsible for doing such a thing.

Albert was also speechless about this, but Darcy did sometimes soften his heart where he shouldn't.If people like Wickham don't get rid of them as soon as possible, isn't that creating trouble for myself and my sister?

"Where are you going to find it? I hear they're going to Gretna Green to get married."

"No, a woman like Miss Bennett will not be Wickham's marriage partner. From what I know of him, he should go to London to find his cronies and hide. Then look for opportunities to blackmail Bennett home, and after draining the girl of all her value, he will abandon her, and even sell her to a horrible place." He knew people like Wickham too well, he only had money in his heart, nothing else It's not within his consideration.

Albert saw that he had to go, so he didn't stop him anymore. He just told him that he had already sent someone to look for him, and he would naturally send someone to tell him if he had any clues.

"But I think it's better for you not to expose this matter, if you don't want to expose Georgiana's matter."

"I understand!" Darcy naturally understood Albert's meaning. If he was exposed, on the one hand, others would wonder why he was so actively looking for Wickham.On the one hand, Wickham will threaten him with Georgiana's affairs after he knows it.

After sending Darcy away, Albert was so bored that he took Charlotte directly to Netherfield Manor and asked her to manage all the chores of the entire manor.

"Although my sister said that she might not get married, she still needs to know how to manage a large manor. In the future, even if you know more about your own life, it is always good."

Charlotte nodded in agreement, so Charlotte began to become the hostess of Netherfield Manor, and became familiar with how to manage the manor with the help of the housekeeper Red.

Speaking of London, Darcy had just arrived in London when he received the news that Wickham had indeed brought Lydia to London, but it would take some time to confirm where they live now.

Darcy thought of what Albert had said, and sent a letter directly to Gardner's house in London.Fortunately, Miss Bingley had yelled loudly which street Miss Bennet's uncle was at.A little inquiry will tell where the Gardner family lives.

Mr. Gardner already knew about his sister's house, and hurried to Longbourn. Knowing that his brother-in-law was only angry and his life was not in danger, Mr. Gardner returned to London.

Because he agreed with Mr. Bennet after discussing it.Wickham will not take Lydia to get married, they are likely to go to London, of course, the source of this information is thanks to Colonel Forster of the militia.

After all, Wickham is still his subordinate, so he is not without responsibility for this matter.Colonel Forster is also extremely regretful now, he should have been fired earlier if he knew about it.

As soon as Mr. Gardner returned home, he received an anonymous letter saying that Wickham was indeed hiding in London, but it would take some time to find out his specific address.Ask them to wait.

"Who is this?" Mr. Gardner couldn't figure out who would help them at this time.

"Could it be that Mr. Bingley?" Mrs. Gardner guessed, after all, besides Mr. Bingley, there was really no one who would help them.

"Maybe."

"No matter what, we need to look for it ourselves. The sooner we find Lydia, the better." Mr. Gardner can only pray that the rich young master can have more contacts and find Lydia as soon as possible.

Thinking of the current situation of his sister's house, Gardner also felt that he was sorry for Mr. Bennett.In fact, the reason why Mr. Bennet knew Mrs. Bennet was because his father took over a business from the Bennet family, and he and Mr. Bennet became friends because of their similar personalities.

At the beginning, Mr. Bennet was confused by Mrs. Bennet's beauty, and because he felt that they were brothers and sisters, the character and conduct of the elder sister and younger brother should not differ much.So I proposed in a hurry.

At the beginning, Mr. Gardner wanted to remind Mr. Bennet to be more cautious, but after all, it was selfish.

Although Mr. Gardner has lived in London for a long time, his status is limited after all, and he usually only does business within the scope of activities he is familiar with.It is indeed very difficult to find two people in this huge city of London nowadays. After searching for several days, there is no clue at all.

On the contrary, Darcy has already received a report from Albert's subordinates, and they have found out the hotel where Wickham and Lydia are currently staying.

Darcy looked at the address, and it was not beyond his expectation at all, it was in a civilian area where dragons and snakes mixed together.

After thinking about it, Darcy sent the specific address to Gardner's house.Although he felt that as Mr. Gardner's uncle, he might not be able to bring back a silly girl like Miss Lydia.

But after all, she is the girl of their family, so she always wants to let them know where she is.

Darcy knew that the best way to restore the Bennet family's reputation at present was to marry Wickham and Miss Lydia.Based on what he knew about Wickham, it was absolutely impossible for the Bennett family to satisfy Wickham.He will not marry Lydia.

Besides, Mr. Gardner went to the hotel after receiving the letter from the mysterious man, but he did not bring Lydia back.Seeing his obsessive niece, Mr. Gardner was very disappointed.It's just that he is only an uncle after all, and he has no choice but to write to Mr. Bennett.

Albert also received news about London's affairs at any time. Life in the country was too boring, and what happened in London just relieved him.

"Albert, why don't you bring Maria and Teresa over here, and let them see the results of their misconduct." Charlotte saw the news from London and thought it was a good educational opportunity.

Albert thought about it and thought it was okay, although he felt that his two younger sisters should not have such courage.But after all, the Lucas family is no longer the situation where there is nothing worth coveting.Just like Charlotte has had many unknown suitors during this time.

Maria and Teresa are not as smart as Charlotte, so it would be good to let them see some lessons learned from the past.

So Maria and Teresa also lived in Netherfield Manor. It was the first time to live in such a luxurious manor. Maria and Teresa were very excited. When they were in Lucas's house, they lived in They had a room together, and when they arrived at Netherfield, Charlotte arranged a room for them alone.

There is no child of this age who does not like to have his own private space.

Both Maria and Teresa were in awe of the big brother Albert, but with Charlotte, the elder sister who took care of them since childhood, the two little girls were not afraid anymore.

Albert didn't have the idea of ​​getting close to everyone in Lucas's family. This distance was just right for him, not far or close, and they were polite to each other.

Charlotte also knew what Albert was thinking. In her opinion, his brother must have suffered a lot outside. The Lucas family did not show him any kindness in nurturing him, nor did they ask him to do much for the Lucas family. qualification of things.So the teachings of the two younger sisters came from her own.
