Pride and Prejudice Mr Bennett
Chapter 68
During the breakfast time at the Bennett family, the family ate quietly and gracefully.In fact, for James, except for the first time in this time and space, in order to conceal his abnormality, he did not dare to show his differences, but after he got used to it, he began to follow his own mind, especially the dining etiquette, That can't be called etiquette at all. After Miss Glady's arrival and Mr. Carter as the butler, the rules of the Bennett family have been raised several levels.
"Mr. Darcy and Mr. Bingley will come to visit later." James wiped the corners of his mouth, "Also, Matt will be home soon." James' words stunned everyone present, and they all put it down after realizing it With a knife and fork in his hand, he stood up and followed James and couldn't wait to ask James.
"My dear, is everything you said true? Is Matt really coming home? When will he arrive? You didn't tell me, and Matt didn't tell me in the letter."
"Dad, did Matt say why? It's not time for school holiday yet." Jane asked calmly, did something happen?But looking at James' face, it doesn't look like something happened.
"Oh, Matt." Elizabeth exclaimed, very surprised.
"Dad, what's the matter with Matt?" Mary was very worried about her brother, and asked seriously, taking James's arm.
Everyone selectively ignored what James said before, and they didn't care about the news about Mr. Darcy and Mr. Bingley's visit.
"Honey, Matt is fine, don't worry." James patted Mary's head lightly, feeling very relieved in his heart. Although Mary had a cold temper, she cared about her family, especially Matt. Normally, even Matt is the best with Mary.
"Speak quickly, sir." Mrs. Bennet asked eagerly, and the three Jane sisters also looked at James eagerly.
It's rare for James to feel that he really shouldn't be like this. In other words, he really just wanted to surprise them. Who knew their reaction would be so big?
"Okay, Matt is fine, and he'll be home in three days. Matt's tutor asked Matt to carry out practical activities in the last month of the semester." James hurriedly said everything, come on, Matt Te is really doted on by his mother and sisters at home, even himself, who is very strict in education, but he is definitely doted on in normal times.
"Ah, that's great. Matt didn't bring any friends with him?" Mrs. Bennet said happily.
James looked at Mrs. Bennet meaningfully. Did she put her mind on Matt's classmates?In fact, James misunderstood Mrs. Bennett. She was just happy for Matt's return, and as a mother, if her son brings friends home, it can also explain from the side that if he can make good friends, his child should have a good life at school. .
"I didn't say that. It will take three days. I will know when the time comes." James put on his coat and prepared to take a walk after dinner. The weather in the morning was still quite cold.
"Oh, by the way, Carter, Mr. Darcy and Mr. Bingley will come to visit later." James stopped and almost forgot to explain this matter, which is usually done by Mr. Carter, the housekeeper.
"Understood, sir." Mr. Carter bowed rigorously.
James left satisfied, and as for Mrs. Bennet, they didn't care what they discussed.
"Did you hear that? Matt is coming home. It's great." Mrs. Bennet expressed her happiness again, holding Jane's hand and almost dancing.
"Yes, Mom, Matt is coming home, do you think we need to prepare more things that Matt likes, and Matt's journey must be very tiring, I remember my father brought back several quilts a while ago , I’ve seen it all, it’s soft and comfortable, I heard it’s shipped from the other side of the ocean, let’s use it for Matt.” Jane also began to think about what good things she could prepare for Matt at home.
"Yes, yes. And Matt likes riding horses the most. We will go hunting when he comes back." Elizabeth said enthusiastically. Matt was not at home, and James didn't like to go out, especially when he was getting older. I don't like those strenuous sports anymore, so no one will go with Elizabeth and take the servants. James and Mrs. Bennet are not at ease.Elizabeth has already figured out that when Matt comes back, she must pester Matt to play with her to have a good time.
Mary thought for a while and walked out the door.
"Mary, dear, where are you going?" Mrs. Bennet looked strangely at Mary who was about to leave without saying a word.
"Oh, Mom, let me tell Mrs. Smith about the food Matt likes to eat. Matt wrote to me two days ago saying that he misses the food at home, especially the Sichuan boiled fish in the ancient oriental country. Now It's best to prepare delicious fish in advance." Mary said obediently.
"Mary is really thoughtful." Mrs. Bennet praised that Matt's taste is the most special in the family. He likes spicy food, and his favorite is the Sichuan boiled fish that James said. Strange name, but James said, it is the name of the dish named after the place.They didn't like that dish, let alone spicy, it tasted numb, and it didn't work even if they kept drinking water.Usually they don't remember this dish, but this time it was about Matt, and Mary remembered it.
"Mrs. Darcy and Mr. Bingley should be here soon, ma'am," reminded Mr. Carter.
"Ah, two distinguished guests, I believe that you, Carter, will be able to do a good job in reception." Mrs. Bennet said happily, but how much of it was happy for the visit of Mr. Darcy and Mr. Bingley And I know, when she got the news that Matt was coming home, Mrs. Bennet devoted herself wholeheartedly to it.
"Yes, ma'am." Carter bowed and left, he had already reminded.
"Mom, we're going upstairs." Before Jane's smile disappeared, she lifted her skirt and pulled Elizabeth up and left. They didn't have to show up for the visits of Mr. Darcy and Mr. Bingley.
"Jane, look, Mr. Darcy and Mr. Bingley are here." Elizabeth opened the curtain a little and you came to get it, and you saw Mr. Darcy and Mr. Bingley coming on horseback, and they had dismounted now.Mr. Darcy was still wearing a black suit, while Mr. Bingley was wearing a blue suit. He secretly looked up at the second floor, then lowered his head again, and followed Mr. Carter in.
Jane didn't even look up, Elizabeth put down the curtains in disappointment and you came to get them, thinking that Jane would be very happy.
"Welcome, Mr. Darcy and Mr. Bingley." James rose.
"Hello, Viscount Bennet."
This official visit, everyone is very polite.
"Longbourn is a good place, I hope you two can live happily." James asked Mr. Darcy and Mr. Bingley to sit down, and he sat down before he said.
"Yes, Longbourn is very beautiful, and the people are very hospitable. It's a very good place." Mr. Darcy usually keeps few words, so Mr. Bingley replied with a smile on his face.
Mr. Darcy nodded his assent.
James expressed a lot of pressure. Mr. Darcy seldom speaks, and Mr. Bingley talks a lot, but it sounds so strange. Mr. Bingley's words are basically flattering him. What is his intention?
"Mr. Darcy, someone is looking for you." Carter's entry interrupted Mr. Bingley's continuous praise, and relieved James from his embarrassment.
"Sir, there's a letter from Pepperley Manor." The person standing behind Carter stood up and bowed his head and said that he didn't want to come, but Miss Bingley said that if there was anything important about the letter, it would be delayed if she didn't deliver it in time. It's not good.
"Oh, is that so?" Mr. Darcy raised his eyes to look at the servant, and then said, "I'm really disturbing Viscount Bennet. We still have something to do, so we'll take our leave first." Mr. Darcy said slightly apologetically.
"It doesn't matter, there is still a lot of time in the future." James also stood up, and said politely. In fact, he didn't know how happy he was. Mr. Darcy was leaving, and Mr. Bingley would not stay.
"Farewell," said Mr. Darcy and Mr. Bingley simultaneously.Mr. Darcy was just a little sorry, but Mr. Bingley felt a little resentful. He didn't see Jane, his sweetheart.
"Mr. Bennet, please come to Netherfield when you are free," said Mr. Bingley sincerely.What he thought was that since he couldn't see Jane at Bennett's house, he might as well write a letter to invite Jane to Netherfield as a guest after returning home, so that he would have a chance to confess his love.Thinking of this, Mr. Bingley's face brightened again, and he looked forward to tomorrow with an unprecedented expectation.
"Dad, what's the matter with you?" Elizabeth looked at the look that seemed to be relaxed all of a sudden in surprise, and asked worriedly.
"It's nothing. Jane, what do you think of Mr. Bingley?" James thought of Mr. Bingley's performance just now, and only later found out that Mr. Bingley's goal should be Jane, otherwise he would not want it like that It's for his favor, so James doesn't pay attention to Elizabeth's child now, so I asked here.
"Dad, why are you like this?" Jane said helplessly.
"Hehe, it's okay, just ask, your marriage is up to you, and your mother and I also care about you." James said.
"I know, Dad. Thank you." Jane said movedly. You know, her classmates asked, how many people would be as lucky as her to be able to marry independently.In ordinary aristocratic families, marriages are usually arranged by the family. For the benefit of the family, there are many marriages. It is better for the parents who love them to talk about it, and let the children express some opinions. Some of them are directly settled.
"Well, as long as you know it in your heart, Dad is right behind you." James hugged Jane.
"En." Jane responded lightly.
"Dad, is mine the same?" Elizabeth also asked aloud.
"What do you say, you have to change it for your fiery temper." James said helplessly, rubbing Elizabeth's hair.
"Dad, I'm not a child anymore, and my hair is messed up by you." Elizabeth said pretending to be angry, but she was actually very happy for James' love for her.
"Sir, lunch has been arranged." Mr. Carter ignored the women's affectionate drama in front of him. For him, the lunch originally intended for Mr. Darcy and Mr. Bingley should not be wasted.
"Well, just right, our family will have a big meal today. What about Mrs. and Mary?" James said happily, already used to Mr. Carter's behavior.
