Pride and Prejudice Mr Bennett

"Honey, they all like to drink our yogurt, and they asked if we can provide more, honey, you are really amazing." Mrs. Bennet said excitedly to James, there were several friends at the party yesterday They all told her that the yogurt I sent was delicious, and it was especially popular with children. I hope to get more, because children who are usually picky eaters have a much better appetite after drinking yogurt. This makes the parents who love their children very happy. It's time to dance, and what's more, the doting grandma directly sent a message that she must provide the child with yogurt for a long time, so that the child will be chubby, cute and healthy.

"Eh? Is it really as popular as you said?" James wondered, not many people in modern times would particularly like to drink yogurt, or is he ignorant?But this may also be related to the fact that milk is indispensable on the table of the British, so yogurt related to milk is so easily accepted.

"Really, really, you don't even know how much children like it. It's sweet and sour, it's delicious." Mrs. Bennet was anxious when she saw James' disbelief.

"Do you know how many people want to provide yogurt for a long time?" James saw Mrs. Bennet's appearance and wanted to tease her to see how enthusiastic she was about selling yogurt.

"Uh..." Hearing this question, Mrs. Bennet was dumbfounded. How could she know how many people there were? She just knew that her yogurt was very popular, but she didn't know the specifics at all. I thought about paying attention to these things. Isn't James responsible for these things all the time?

Looking at James stupidly, Mrs. Bennet couldn't speak, but it was probably the pregnant woman's temper, and she was annoyed, "Hmph, I don't know, it's up to you." She probably felt too arrogant Then he said: "I'm tired, I'll go up to rest first." Turning around in embarrassment and going upstairs, James guessed that she should go upstairs to find Jane to complain and ask for comfort.

James laughed softly, and at the end laughed louder and louder. It was so funny. It had been a long time since I saw her in such a mess. This reaction was really funny.

Although James thought of opening a small shop in the town when the yogurt was made, he would sell yogurt and drink some delicious pastries. My wife and children like sweet cakes, especially when drinking afternoon tea. In order to satisfy the family, and I have the conditions, I have to do it as a human being.What's more, in the past, I just thought about having a wife and children, a warm family, and a small shop of my own, living together in a plain and beautiful way, and living like this for a lifetime is also very good and very happy. It is something you can own.James took a deep breath after laughing, looking at the blue sky outside the window, trying to see through the entire cloud.I am very happy, and the future is bright, as long as I cherish it well.

James sent for Mr. Smith, and soon Mr. Smith arrived.

"Sir, are you looking for me?" Mr. Smith stood respectfully in front of James.

James didn't immediately tell Smith the purpose of calling him here, he was silent for a while before saying: "Is there any storefront for us in the town, it doesn't need to be a big one."

"Sir, there are five stores in the town. The largest store is currently renting out, with a size of 260 square meters. The other four are also for rent, but they are all about 80 square meters in size. But there is only one smaller store that will arrive in March. During the period, other stores have signed long-term contracts, and the contracts have not yet arrived.” (I don’t know how to express the area at that time, so I will use what we usually use)

"That's it, don't rent the store that is about to expire, I'm useful." James lightly ordered to go down, and Smith didn't ask the reason, but said he understood. Seeing that James had nothing else to do, he went down.

Three months later, Mrs. Bennett's child was born, and she was almost confinement. At that time, she could open a bakery after renovation. James planned to hand over the shop to Mrs. Bennett. , let's just treat it as a joke, although ladies in society should not be in business, but the family is covering it up, and she is not asked to run the business in person, so it is not a big problem.I don't know whether Mrs. Bennet will be surprised or frightened when she finds out that she can run a store. What can James say to make Mrs. Bennet willingly take over the store.

The days passed slowly, and Mrs. Bennet's temper came and went quickly. That night, after James didn't specifically mention the matter that annoyed Mrs. Bennet, Mrs. Bennet also forgot, and she was still careless. Say whatever you want with James, and occasionally complain about the hard work of pregnancy, but the movement of stroking the belly is so gentle.

"Here is your letter, sir."

In the back garden, James was gently pushing Jane to play on the swing, and Mr. Smith handed over a letter.James took the letter and asked Jenny to take good care of Jane. He walked to the side bench and sat down before opening the letter.

It turned out to be a letter from Mr. Taylor. I still remember what Mr. Taylor said that day, a friend of his was looking for a buyer for his land in Derbyshire.But that was because Mr. Taylor just provided information and hadn't communicated with his friends yet, so James didn't take it seriously at the time.Now one of the themes of this letter is that his friend intends to trade with James, and the price will be the same as that of Mr. Taylor. His friend is not available now, but he will send his assistant to talk. Now it depends on what James means.

"Did this letter come by post?"

"Yes, sir."

"That's it." James mused, so don't rush to reply immediately, just reply tomorrow.Now it is more important to play with my daughter.Putting down the letter, James just sat smiling and looked at the happy Jane.

"Bring me a paper and a comparison, I want to draw here." James suddenly had a desire to draw the beauty of this moment.

Soon, what James asked for was delivered, and when he was ready, James began to outline Jane one by one. It was very simple. What James painted was not the complicated oil painting that he painted outside now. He just followed what he had learned in his previous life. Outlined with simple strokes, with a few strokes, but the charm of Jane at the moment is drawn out, and the protagonist of the picture can be seen at a glance to be happy and childlike.

"Well, my dear, you draw really well. I've never seen this kind of painting before." Mrs. Bennet walked to James's side at some point, and she was looking at James' drawing for Jane with admiration.

"When did you arrive? Sit down quickly." James moved his seat to make room for her to sit down.

"I just arrived, and I want it too. Can you draw me one too, and I'll just watch you paint?" Mrs. Bennet thought the painting was very simple, but she liked it better because of its simplicity. The other oil paintings She couldn't understand it, and she couldn't see what was so good about it even if someone told her about it.But James's is different, she can tell what the painting is at a glance.So she must also ask James to help her draw.

"Okay, I'll draw it for you now, you can just sit down." James was helpless, getting more and more childish, and seeing her resolute look, he knew that he couldn't refuse, and he didn't plan to refuse.

"Ah, my dear, you are really amazing. You can draw without me sitting still." Mrs. Bennet was in a hurry, watching James draw stroke by stroke, watching her image unfold bit by bit, It's amazing.

James didn't care about her, he just wrote carefully and quickly, and the painting was finished in about 10 minutes.

"Look, how are you satisfied?" James put the drawing in front of Mrs. Bennet so that she could see it more clearly.

"Well, it's so beautiful, you can tell it's me at a glance, even though it's not very similar, I'm going to put it away." Mrs. Bennet was very happy, thinking that she must keep it well and take it out when she gets old.

"Okay, how about making a special box to store the paintings?"

"That's great, dear, you're still thoughtful, I love you the most." This is so sweet, Mrs. Bennet thinks she is definitely the happiest person.If James knew what Mrs. Bennet was thinking, he would definitely feel a sense of accomplishment.

"Mom, when did you arrive?" Jane ran over when she saw Mrs. Bennet, and she didn't rush directly when she got close. She already knew that her mother had to take good care of her now.As a result of having fun, she was covered with sweat. Mrs. Bennet took out her small handkerchief and wiped the sweat off Jane's face and forehead.

"Just arrived, is the swing fun?"

"It's fun," Jane recalled the feeling of being on the swing just now, "It feels like I'm flying, but my father won't let me play more." After finishing speaking, Jane glanced at James aggrievedly, and then looked at Bennett eagerly. Mrs.

"My dear, you are still too young. You can play as much as you want when you grow up." Mrs. Bennet comforted.

But obviously, Jane was not satisfied, "But Mom, I played very well just now, and there is nothing wrong with it. I will be very careful, Dad?"

James looked at Jane's pitiful appearance, tapped her little nose with his hand, and smiled. Jane's eyes lit up. Is Dad going to agree?But it's a pity, James said: "No, if you want to play in the future, I have to watch it, otherwise it won't work."

Jane's face collapsed, she pouted, although she was dissatisfied, she didn't refute it, and if her father said no, she just couldn't.It can be seen that James' patriarchal authority is very strong.

"Okay, let's go back, it's time to eat." Helping Mrs. Bennet up, she walked towards the house.

"My dear, you can see that your daughter is like this. You can let her play for a while." Mrs. Bennet couldn't see it anymore. In fact, James has so much time, so he can definitely play with Jane for a while. Don’t worry about Jane’s safety anymore.

Jane listened, full of expectations, like a puppy's tail wagging and wagging.

James softened his heart, "I will allow you to play for a while after drinking an extra glass of milk every day."

Jane hesitated, what to do, she wanted to play on the swing, but she didn't want to drink milk.

"Dad, can I change it?"

"No."

"Really not?"

James nodded firmly.Really not.
