[Pride and Prejudice] Lady Makes Money

"Okay, I'm all for it!"

After hearing what Gene said, Manli said loudly with a smile.

After finishing speaking, he still didn't forget to wink playfully at Elizabeth, in exchange for her big white eyes.

Seeing that Manli came out, Elizabeth, who had to stay with her guests before, naturally found a reason and quickly left.

After she left, Manli couldn't bear it anymore, and asked Jean: "Do you know what Mr. Darcy means to my second sister? After walking for several months, there is no news at all. Any other ideas? If so, don't make fun of my second sister in the future, and let me hear that I won't agree. "

Manli's words startled Gene.

"Didn't Darcy communicate with Miss Elizabeth? How is this possible?!" Gene had a look of disbelief.

"Darcy talked to me before and said that Sister Ling is the person he most wants to have a happy relationship with in his life. He also said that as long as there is a little hope, he is willing to work very hard and will never give up. I understand Darcy, You will never lie, let alone change your mind at will."

What Gene said was even more unexpected to Manli.

Although in the original book, Darcy and the second sister were indeed a match made in heaven, but that was the choice he made after struggling for a long time.

But hearing Gene's tone, Mr. Darcy should have loved his second sister a long time ago, and the love is deeply rooted.

If this is the case, all other problems will not be a problem!

The only difference is time and opportunity.

Thinking of this, she immediately became happy, and even looked a little more pleasant to Gene than usual.

On the contrary, for a while, the person who was used to being manipulated by her was somewhat uncomfortable.

The days passed day by day, and in a blink of an eye, it was the spring when everything recovered.

Mr. Bennet began to get busy.

Now it's time for spring plowing, and he has to go to the two manors every day.

The ponies Mr. Gardiner had brought him were also sent, eight of them, all looking healthy and lively.

Not to mention Mr. Bennet, even Manli is so in love with him that she wants to go to the stables from time to time.

In addition, Mr. Gardiner actually complied with Mary's request and helped her get a litter of piglets.

All of them were castrated by professional butchers before they even opened their eyes.

Now they all stay in the pigsty specially set up for them at the back of the manor, and are taken care of by special personnel.

In half a month's time, all of them are fat and cute.

And Elizabeth's toilet gift bag is also available in Mr. Gardiner's grocery store. In addition to the grocery store, the clothing store has also set aside a very eye-catching corner for it.

Before that, Manli gave the bathtub as a gift to Jean, Darcy and several ladies of the Bingley family, but there was almost no follow-up after that.

At first, she thought it was because bathing was contrary to the habits of people in this era, but later she found out that it was because of the weather.

After all, the winter in the UK is very, very cold, and there are no bath heaters or small suns at this time, so if you want to take a bath at home, except for people like the Bennet family who have formed a habit, everyone else needs some. courage.

No, courage alone is not enough, money is also needed.

At least the charcoal fire and the sealed room must be guaranteed, right?

Therefore, it can be said that it is normal that the sales of gift packages are not smooth.

And now, with the weather getting warmer by the day, it's social season again.

All kinds of gatherings and dances were held, and the ladies from all over the place began to compete for beauty again.

Mary and Elizabeth didn't even figure out, when did it start?

Suddenly, more people came to buy bath gift packages.

Shampoo, shower gel, handmade soap... and the body lotion and body lotion developed by Elizabeth according to the formula given by Alan, all of which suddenly became in short supply.

Even the hoards they made in the winter were sold out almost instantly.

Mr. Gardiner was rushing to deliver letters almost every day, and there was a long queue at the gate of the Bennet's New Manor.

But is it for buying tofu and ingredients? All of them have been changed to big gift bags.

So much so that when one night, Mr. Bennet couldn’t help announcing at the dinner table that all the seven thousand pounds he had invested in the New Grange had been earned back, the women in the family still thought it sounded like a dream. Same.

How long has it been in total?

In a little more than half a year, he earned back an industry that others would have to work hard for for several generations? !

It’s incredible!

But this happens to be true.

Only now did Manli and Elizabeth realize that their family is really different now, as if they have begun to develop.

Finally, it was the day when Collins and Charlotte got married, and the Bennet family also received their invitation letter, inviting them to watch the ceremony.

This was the day Kitty had been looking forward to for a long time, and she had been looking forward to seeing Collins' jokes!

It's a pity that this day finally came, but she had to stay in London, thinking hard every day to help the hot pot restaurant figure out a new menu.

Even the little follower, Lydia, who was always afraid of chaos and just wanted to watch the fun, was forced to stay in the tailor shop by Mrs. Gardiner and was not allowed to come back.

So only Mr. Bennet and Elizabeth can really go to watch the ceremony.

As for Mary--

Kitty and Martha are not there, and she has to take on the task of cooking for her mother who suffers from morning sickness every day.

The day passed peacefully.

Perhaps it was because everyone in the village was invited to watch the ceremony, and there was no one walking around the manor, so it was extremely quiet.

So, in the afternoon, when Mr. Bennet and Elizabeth came back, the sound of the carriage disturbed even Mrs. Bennet, who had been resting upstairs with her eyes closed, and went upstairs to greet her.

"How about the wedding? Isn't it very lively? What clothes does Charlotte wear, must it look good?" She asked with great interest.

"Everyone in the village could go, and it was very lively. After all, this is the first wedding this spring. Everyone has been holding back all winter, and they are going crazy."

Seeing that his wife is interested, Mr. Bennet, who never likes to gossip, replied very patiently.

And this is not what Manli cares about. She grabbed the second sister and winked at her: "How is Mr. Collins doing?"

Although she didn't say it clearly, Elizabeth naturally understood what she wanted to know.

She glanced at the affectionate parents sitting on the side, and winked at Manli, and the two quickly ran towards Elizabeth's bedroom.

As soon as she entered the door, before she had time to change her clothes, Elizabeth laughed and lay down on the bed directly.

"Oh, it's really a pity that you didn't go today. You didn't even see Collins' expression. My God, I'm afraid that his face will twitch again, and he will have a stroke!"

Hearing what Elizabeth said, Manli couldn't help but also laughed: "Haha, you are too mean, how can you say that about someone? But then again, I really want to see what his symptoms of stroke look like."

The two laughed for a while before Elizabeth told Manli about the wedding in detail.

In fact, Elizabeth didn't plan to watch Collins' jokes today, nor did she choose to reveal her mother's pregnancy to him on such an occasion today.

After all, after all, she and Charlotte had been good friends for many years, and today was a good friend's day.

But she didn't want to say that it didn't mean that others understood her kindness.

Not long after Elizabeth and Mr. Bennet arrived at the wedding scene, they ran into Dr. Carl.

Dr. Carl was originally a pedantic person. Apart from caring about the patient's body, he didn't care much about everything else.

Naturally, the relationship between the Bennet family and Collins was even more unexpected.

When he saw Mr. Bennet, he walked over to chat with him.And asked about his wife's recent situation in detail, and put forward many suggestions and plans on how to alleviate morning sickness.

In the eyes of Mr. Bennet, nothing can match the status of a beloved wife at this moment, so although he didn't mean to spoil his nephew on purpose, he still had a serious chat with Dr. Carl at the wedding scene.

Because winter is not a social season in the first place, and it's not something to show off because Lao Mu is pregnant with pearls.

So at this moment, few people in the village knew that Mrs. Bennet was pregnant.

When Dr. Karl said this, it immediately caused a commotion, and the atmosphere was much more lively than when the bride and groom came out together.

This is very embarrassing.

It is impossible for Elizabeth to let Collins know today.

So when the bride and groom came out to accept everyone's blessings, Elizabeth felt——

My cousin's faked smile was really uglier than crying.

Although Elizabeth's kindness came to naught, the incident still made the two girls laugh for a long time.

The scene of that person bossing around their house and pointing at everything and saying it was him was deeply hurtful to everyone in the Bennet family.

If it weren't for the drunken madness he played, Mrs. Bennet might not have chosen so decisively to risk another child at the age of 40.

So whether it is for Elizabeth or Manli, seeing Collins' jokes is something that makes them feel very happy.

It's just that this good mood didn't last long. Just after breakfast the next day, Uncle Philip actually came to visit in person, and his face looked very ugly.

"What happened?"

Welcoming him into the house, Mr. Bennet couldn't help asking without waiting to go to the study.

Mr. Philip took a look at the two sisters Manli standing next to him, and probably felt that he had nothing to hide, so he said directly to Mr. Bennet: "I went to my friend's law firm this morning, and I happened to see a person asking about inheritance. It's a legal matter. I took a special look and found that it was your only nephew Collins."
