[Zhongying] Rebirth meets a wizard

That night, Lydia and Mrs. Smith reached a preliminary consensus at the small hotel in Berkhamstead, and then the two separated.

Mrs. Smith took the two paintings that Lydia entrusted her to resell, and waited for the opportunity to become Lydia's tutor by the way.

And Lydia, with her mother and sister returning home, was naughty all the way.

"Look at you, you are so reckless, and you still say that your ankle is fine, it's not that you can't walk. Yesterday, I delayed going home to show you your ankle. The doctor I don't know doesn't know if it's okay. I'd better go home and let Dr. Brown see it. look……"

Mrs. Bennet scolded Lydia, either blaming her for delaying the trip, or feeling sorry for her little daughter.

Although her way of distressing was nagging and attacking, but now Lydia is obediently nestling beside her mother, leaning her head on her shoulder, and listening meekly.

Just as Lydia did when she finally arrived home from London three years later, leaning on Mrs. Bennet, leaning on her, listening to her babbling about her thoughts, listening to her telling her various news about Longbourne, listening to her Tell yourself how many proms you've missed...

And Katie sat on the other side of Lydia, echoing her mother.

Mary smiled brightly with the book Lydia had brought her.

It is also rare for Mr. Bennet to not be nestled in the study, looking at each other and smiling with his two older daughters.

..............................

Spring in Longbourn is beautiful, although the beauty is somewhat similar every year.

Longborn, who has been quiet for a long time recently, has two big news:

The militia is coming.

Netherfield Hall was at last let.

To Mrs. and Miss Longbourn, both news meant that a wave of young bachelors was approaching.

For the less mobile Longbourn, fresh bachelors are the scarcest resource.

Of course, news is news because it is timely.

It also means that the arrival of the militia will take time.

The well-to-do bachelor who had rented Netherfield had not yet moved in.

But Lydia knew it had begun, the sound of time ticking in her ears, tick-tock.

The husbands of the two excellent sisters' previous lives are about to appear, and so is hers.

..............................

The news has been circulating for more than a month.

The garrison of the militia has been constructed.

The servants in Netherfield Manor were also ready to come in and go out.

In the bright summer sun, the wives and ladies of Longbourne waited with growing enthusiasm.

At such a time, Lydia, who had intended to stay at the play, was packing, and had to go to London.

In fact, in the past two years, Lydia has always visited London from time to time, and the Bennet family has become used to it.

But this time something is different, something like this:

On an unremarkable morning, during the breakfast time at Bennet's house, Mrs. Bennet was distributing breakfast to her husband and children, starting an ordinary day.

Breakfast at the Bennet's has never been restrained, and the atmosphere in the dining room is very free.

"It's so boring recently, no one is getting married, no one is engaged, and no new faces appear...why the militia hasn't come yet!"

Katie grumbled as she spread jam on her bread.

"And that rich bachelor who rented Netherfield Manor but didn't come to live in it!"

Mrs. Bennet echoes her fourth daughter, who is now most in tune with her in gossip.

Mr. Bennet was talking to his favorite Elizabeth, as if he was talking about the contents of a book.

Mary sat beside Jane, talking with her patient elder sister about the philosophy books she read yesterday, while Jane listened tenderly.

What's more special is that Lydia is reading the newspaper, but this can no longer cause any reaction from everyone. After all, Lydia has been watching the newspaper for more than two years.

No one came to bother Lydia. While reading the news in the newspaper, she noticed the interaction of her family members. The corners of her mouth raised slightly, showing that she was in a good mood.

At this time, the letters received by the Bennet family were also delivered.

Usually it is a letter addressed to Mr. Bennet or Mrs. Bennet, either an invitation to a ball or a greeting from a relative or friend.

One of them was, as usual, an invitation to a ball addressed to Mrs. Bennet.

There were two more special letters. Ruth handed two formal-looking letters to Lydia.

Now everyone at the table is paying attention.

Lydia was also very surprised. Most of her letters were first delivered to Mrs. Smith by others. It was rare that they were sent directly to the Bennet's house and then to her.

The main reason is that there are not many people who know Lydia's address in Longbourne, and those who own this address are generally important people.

Putting down the newspaper, Lydia first looked at the appearance of the two letters.

Lydia confirmed that the wax seals were all intact. Judging by the seals on the wax seals, the two letters came from two people.

Looking at the styles of the seals, Lydia always felt that one of them was very familiar, but she couldn't remember it for a while.

What is more special is that neither of the two letters stated the recipient.

"Ruth, are these two letters delivered by someone? Where?"

As Lydia asked, she opened the letter with a familiar seal.

"We're waiting outside. The two letters are from the same person."

Ruth waited by the side after handing in the letter, and now she answered immediately.

"Help me entertain him, and find me to get the letter back later."

Lydia looked at the letter at a glance, and then opened another one, her expression was a little bit bad.

"Yes, Miss Lydia."

Ruth seemed to listen to Lydia and left immediately.

"Lydia, what happened?"

The head of the family, Mr. Bennet, asked Lydia in surprise. He didn't care about the issue of unmarried women receiving letters from strangers, mainly because he felt that something happened to Lydia's expression.

In fact, in the past two years, Mr. Bennet felt that he could not understand Lydia more and more. It seemed that he was a different person and asked for a tutor to study in London.

None of which the original Lydia would ask for.

More importantly, all these expenses were borne by herself, and she did not take any money from his father.

Seeing that the gifts Lydia brought back were all of great value, Mr. Bennet was not without doubts, but he was always fooled by Lydia.

He felt that it was time to have a good talk with Lydia, although he didn't know why he agreed to Lydia's request before.

"Father, I'm afraid I'm going to London again. A lady I knew died suddenly the other day, and she left me something in her will."

Lydia was referring to the letter the lawyer had sent her.

"I really should go there, do you need me to go with you?"

Mr. Bennet, who hated London and hated going out, rarely offered to accompany him.

"No father, another letter came from this lady's daughter, she asked me to stay with her. I'm afraid I need to live with her, father, you don't have to worry."

Lydia frowned when she thought of Miss Bell's request in the letter and her doubts about her two brothers between the lines.

"Alright, so when do you plan to leave?"

Mr. Bennet didn't ask any more questions. He was becoming more and more incomprehensible to his mysterious little daughter.

Make up your mind again, and have a good talk with her when she comes back.

"Today, I'm afraid I'll be leaving later."

Lydia spoke her decision, then got up and went back to her room to answer her letter.

Send a brief reply to the waiting servant of the Bell family.

The two replies were rushed back to London,

..............................

Soon, Mrs. Smith knew the general situation, and she instructed Ruth to pack Lydia's things in Lydia's room.

And Mrs. Bennet was hugging Lydia and nagging.

"Sweetheart, how long have you been back, and you are going to London again? Mom knows that you must be secretly saving for a dowry, but don't work too hard, okay? In fact, even if you only have a small dowry, you are the best girl."

"Mom, I just think that if I don't get married, I can still let my mother live a good life in the future."

Lydia leaned her head on her mother's shoulder and said softly.

"My Lydia! Huh... so sensible!"

Mrs. Bennet was moved to tears by Lydia's simple words.

As for how Mrs. Bennet knew that Lydia, who nominally went to study in London, was making money, it was mainly because Lydia secretly gave her mother money and gifts.

Mrs. Bennet is just crazy, not stupid, and she manages the life of the Bennet family anyway.

She guessed that her little daughter must have her own little secret, but Lydia didn't say anything, seeing that Lydia was having a good time, she rarely said much or asked much.

When others asked, Lydia was talented and went to study in London.

In fact, the entire Bennet family also knows something, after all, everyone has a share of the gift.

"When I'm away, my mother thinks about the scenery she likes. Let's buy a house and some land. It's too difficult to think about these things. Please ask my mother to help me find out."

Lydia helped her mother wipe away her tears with a handkerchief, and changed the subject by asking for help.

"It's good to buy land! It's better to buy land, mom will help you find out!"

When she heard that her daughter had something to ask, Mrs. Bennet immediately agreed and did not ask where Lydia got her money. Did Mr. Bennet know how much money Lydia already had? She just made a simple promise. , promises everything a mother is willing to do for her child.

"Mum, you are the best! I always miss my mother in London. When it's over, I'll go home at once!"

Lydia coaxed her mother sweetly.

Coaxed and needed by her little daughter, Mrs. Bennet soon got ready to get the carriage ready.

Mary and Katie came to find Lydia next, or rather, Katie pulled Mary over.

Since Lydia started to get busy, Katie and Mary spent more time together.

Because of this, Katie's temperament became calmer, and Mary smiled more.

"What's the matter, Katie, are you reluctant to part with me?"

Lydia smiled at Mary, and then teased Katie who pulled Mary over and hid herself behind Mary.

"No, I didn't."

Katie's head emerges from behind Mary to rebut Lydia.

"Really? Katie won't even miss me? I'm so sad. I'm so sad that I can't lift the gift. It seems that someone will not get the gift next time."

Lydia winked playfully at Mary to keep her quiet.

"Lydia!"

Katie didn't care about her little emotions in front of her, and rushed over immediately, hugging Lydia with a flattering smile.

"I dont want you to go!"

"Hahaha……"

Unscrupulous sisters, Mary and Lydia have a great laugh.

"Lydia! Mary, you too!"

Katie finally found out that Lydia was teasing her, and immediately became unhappy. She pinched Lydia's face, and then rushed to Mary who was watching from the other side.

Mary was so scared that she ran away.

Katie chased after her, leaving Lydia grinning silly while covering her pinched face.
