[Comprehensive Classics] Different Jane

Enough laughing, Jane said: "Well, I'm glad that Liz and Mary have been studying with Mrs. Mira for three months, Lydia, I will make a study plan with Liz and Mary, Catherine, and With you, you have to study hard. You have to pretend to be a lady for me outside."

"But Mrs. Hobbs said that it is useless for girls to learn so many things, and it is serious to marry a rich man." Catherine said softly.

"What? She actually told you that? Why didn't you tell us." Elizabeth couldn't bear the tantrum.

"Tsk." Jane curled her lips. It really is a family that deserves to be beaten. She observed that Catherine and Lydia probably still think that this is quite right. It seems that their family education is urgent.

So Jane began to fool her little sister, "She's right to say that."

"Jane!" Elizabeth stared, and Jane blinked at her and waved her hand.

"But Catherine, why should a rich man marry you? You are beautiful?" asked Jane.

Catherine shook her head knowingly.

There are five sisters in the family. Jane is the prettiest by fully combining the advantages of her parents. Elizabeth is biased toward her father but is very intellectually beautiful. Mary and her are at the bottom, but Mary doesn’t seem to care. Although Lydia is the youngest, she is very delicate. , like a doll... In fact, Catherine has always been very inferior to her appearance.

"Then do you think our family is rich?" Jane asked again.

Even Lydia quickly shook her head this time.

"Can your knowledge help men in their careers?" Jane asked again.

The fool also knew what Jane meant.

"There are only a few rich men, but there are hundreds of women who want to marry them. What advantage do you have to impress him and let him marry you? You can't change your appearance, but you can work hard with your family background and knowledge. That’s right, so what we let you do and learn now is for your own good~”

Jane's words sounded fine, of course they couldn't withstand scrutiny, but it was enough to fool the little girl, didn't you see Catherine and Lydia both nodded?

Elizabeth suppressed a smile and secretly gave Jane a thumbs up.

"Okay, let's talk about something else." Mary quickly changed the subject, "This year's harvest is not bad, Daddy wants to buy two more piglets, Al's wife, the Ropkins family has a seven-year-old boy who can help We graze, and I don't think their family will refuse."

"I remember we used to raise ducks at home when we were young, why didn't we raise them anymore?" Elizabeth suddenly remembered that the five of them had organized a group to feed the ducks.

"It's Al." Jane said, she knew about it, "Aunt Philip told Mummy that time, and then the number of people increased, and the price dropped a lot. In the past, Al was responsible for feeding the fodder in our family." , Later, Daddy rented a piece of land for him, so he had less time to come to our house to work. It is not cost-effective to find someone to feed the ducks, so Daddy simply did not raise them."

Unexpectedly, Al had such a great influence in their family. The girls thought about it and thought that the duck could be made again.Anyway, in the countryside, it is convenient to raise everything. These are not considered industries, but they can actually generate income.

Even Lydia has an idea, why not ask Al's brother-in-law to help, the old man of the Ropkins family and their father's tenant farmer, besides marrying Al's eldest daughter, he also has several younger sons, One feeds the pigs and the other feeds the ducks, which happens to be beneficial.

The Bennet ladies have been housekeepers since they were young, and no one thinks there is anything wrong with talking about it.The five sisters thought it was feasible, and Elizabeth decided to calculate the cost later, make a plan, and then tell her father.

After asking about the family situation, everyone started asking about Jane Cambridge and her fiancé.

"Ah, now that I think about it, I do have something to say, but I have to wait until everyone is around for dinner." Hehehe,

"Ah~ why is this so!" Lydia objected, we all talked about ourselves, why didn't you say it?

"That's right, I brought something back." Jane suddenly clenched her fist with her left hand and knocked on her right.

bing~ The other four girls opened their eyes wide together, "Then why are we still here?" Mary stood up first, and then five of them ran out lively.

Jane's case had been placed in her room, but the large case containing the presents was at the bottom of the stairs.

"It's so heavy." Mary and Catherine helped put the box on the coffee table.

"Yes." Jane opened the box, and there were several unpackaged things inside.Jane took out two things tightly wrapped in newspaper and put them on the stool next to them.

"What is this?" Mary tried to pick one up, but it was very heavy.

"Well... take it over there to open it, and take up space." Jane said.

"Oh." So Mary and Catherine took each to the table.

After Mary put it down, she opened the newspaper, er, there was still a newspaper inside, and then she opened it again...it was still a newspaper...==

"How many layers did you wrap?" Mary peeled off the newspaper a few times, revealing the tin box inside, the kind that holds Hogwarts biscuits.

"Is it a biscuit?" Lydia raised her head to see it and said, "Jane, you still brought it from Cambridge... Woohoo, are these biscuits broken?"

A very... special smell slowly oozes out of the box.

"Why do I smell like cheese?" Elizabeth said after sniffing.

"It's cheese." Before Jane finished speaking, Mary had already opened the box.

"what."

"Wow."

"Ah."

"It stinks!"

The other girls quickly ran away, and Mary closed the lid with a grin, and quickly wrapped it in paper. No wonder Jane was wrapped in newspaper layer by layer, it was just too... smelly.

"My God, this smell is all over the house, and I'm getting stinky too." Lydia cried, holding her nose.

Elizabeth opened the window, and the smell in the room suddenly became lighter. "I think it's okay." Elizabeth said, "But why did you bring back two cheeses, Jane?"

"This cheese is imported from France. It's made of goat's milk. It has a very special taste. It smells bad now because it's a whole piece. When you eat it, you have to slice it into thin slices so it doesn't smell bad. It's hard to buy. Very expensive," said Jane, "Mary, Lydia, take this to Mummy in the kitchen."

"But how do you eat this thing?" Lydia asked, still pinching her nose.

"Just like other cheeses we usually eat, eat it directly, pair it with wine? Or grate it and add it to the dish."

"Hey~ Don't do it, you'll have a mouthful of stink."

Lydia and Catherine carried the cheese box to the kitchen with an exaggerated look of disgust.

As soon as the cheese was taken away, the box was half empty, and Jane took out a few other things that were also tightly wrapped in newspaper, "This is Indian tea, alas, if it wasn't because it was put together with the cheese, there would be no need to wrap it." There are so many newspapers." Jane handed Elizabeth and Mary one by one, and they peeled off the newspapers layer by layer, and even folded them together... The jars that were finally exposed were not very big.

"These jars are Darjeeling black tea." Jane pointed to the logo on the jars to show her sisters, "This jar is spring tea, this jar is summer tea, and this jar is autumn tea."

"Huh? What's the difference?" Mary picked up a jar and looked at it. "Castleton, is this the brand?" She leaned back to look at the one in Elizabeth's hand.

"Castelton is a tea plantation in India. It is on a high mountain, and the tea there is very famous." Jane said, "I heard that spring tea has a charming fragrance, summer tea tastes the best, and autumn tea is thick and suitable for making milk tea."

Mary said enviously, "How do you know? Have you ever drunk it?"

"Well... no, that's why I bought some of them." Jane said proudly with her eyebrows trembling, "We can try all of them."

"It's very expensive." Elizabeth has a housekeeper's sequelae, and she always asks the price for everything.

"A little bit." Jane said the number.

"It's so expensive!" Elizabeth and Mary were taken aback. They looked down at the weight on the jar at the same time. It's only [-] grams of tea. Is it that expensive?

"What is so expensive?" Mrs. Bennet walked in with her two little daughters.

"It's tea." Jane held up the jar in her hand to show Mummy.

"Ah, isn't this Castleton's black tea? It's a high-end product." Mrs. Bennet looked very knowledgeable, "Let me see, spring tea, summer tea, autumn tea, this is Darjeeling red flower , ah, this is Assam black tea...you actually bought so much, Jane, where did you get the money?"

Uh...careless!

"Yes, it's Mrs. Wood. She gives me a little change now and then. I don't use it all the time. I save it all."

"That's right." Mrs. Bennet believed it immediately, "She is really generous. This tea is not cheap."

"Mommy, have you ever drank?" Catherine was particularly interested in eating and drinking.

"Of course I have, but I haven't drunk this brand for a long time." Mrs. Bennet recalled the past, "Okay, put it away, and drink it when there are guests."

"what?"

"what!"

"No!"

Several daughters protested together.

Jane: "I still want to have afternoon tea with the whole family in a few days."

Catherine: "It smells so good~"

Mary: "Why do you drink when you have guests?"

Elizabeth: "Jane bought this for her family."

Lydia: "Why give other people to drink high-end products, we don't even have to drink!"

Chirp, chirp, chirp, Mrs. Bennet felt as if fifty little sparrows were circling around her ears.

"Okay, okay!" Mrs. Bennet said impatiently, "Let's try this first in two days."

"Okay~"

After getting out some other food--all that Longbourne didn't have--Jane got out the bottom of the box.

"Dangdangdangdang, this is a good thing." Jane took out a long tube wrapped in cloth.

"What is it?" Everyone's eyes lit up.

Jane removed the cloth, revealing the paper tube inside, "It's this year's exam paper~"

Happy or not, surprise or not?

Everyone was overwhelmed, especially Lydia, she was so "happy" that she almost cried.

The author has something to say: Jane: I, a smart beauty.

Elizabeth: Me, beauty.

Mary, I, smart.

Catherine: I, uh...

Lydia: I, uh... can fight! <(－︿－)>
