[Zhongying] Rebirth meets a wizard

Chapter 22 London Unrest 2

Mrs. Smith, who was told by Ruth that Lydia was looking for her, immediately appeared at the door of Lydia's room on the second floor.

"Miss Lydia, you are looking for me!"

At Longbourne, Mrs. Smith was generally free, and was not required to be with Lydia all the time.

"Please come in."

Hearing the knock on the door and Mrs. Smith's voice, Lydia, who had read the letter, felt bad.

"Is something wrong, why does the voice sound very depressed."

Mrs. Smith pushed the door open, then closed the door, and heard Lydia's voice was lower than usual, but she was still calm.

"Didn't something happen? December is here, and it's almost Christmas. It's such a good day... The workers are on strike. There are strikes every year during the holidays. It's just that this year's scale is not small. There are actually some people who take the lead He was also murdered. It’s okay, the newspaper reports were suppressed, but London still caused turmoil. No, the Earl said that he couldn’t stand it anymore and wanted to withdraw, let us figure out a way.”

Lydia broke the bad news, and handed the letter to Mrs. Smith.

"He mentioned that there were big figures who valued this interest before, and we are not helpless."

Mrs. Smith soon found the point in the aristocratic letters.

"The problem is that it was before, and the earl is not Mrs. Bell, so he didn't intend to match me up. Also, he is the earl, and he doesn't need to sell my face!"

Lydia was a little annoyed. When she took the money, she didn't think it was a burden. Now that she is in trouble, she can't stand it. It's not as good as the original Mrs. Bell.

"Then what are you going to do?"

Mrs. Smith remained calm, just asking Lydia if she had a solution in mind.

"Let's go to London first. I said why both Mr. Bingley and Mr. Darcy have gone to London. Feelings are business matters. After going, such a big turmoil does not require a small businessman like me to take the lead. Look at the Queen How do adults solve it, let’s see the tricks.”

Now there are no relevant reports in the newspapers, Lydia is not in London and there is no information, so if there is any plan, I can only go to find out first.

"Since you have an idea in your heart, just do it, don't worry so much."

Now, the elderly Mrs. Smith is like Lydia's backing. She doesn't need to do anything, as long as she is with her, Lydia can overcome all difficulties by herself.

In the face of Lydia's growth, Mrs. Smith is more happy than anyone else, not because she doesn't have to make a move, but because she sees the joy of seeing the younger generation become a talent. She has no children, but Lydia is like her daughter.

"It's just that I have to go to London before Christmas. My family must be worried about me. What if I can't come back before Christmas?"

Lydia seemed more worried about not being able to spend Christmas with her family than the turmoil in London.

"That's no problem, just take the whole family to London for Christmas before it's too late."

Regarding Lydia's degree of love for home, Mrs. Smith has been able to calmly face and make suggestions.

"Good idea! I'll talk to my father later!"

Lydia's eyes lit up, and she seemed to want to go to Mr. Bennet immediately.

"Wait a minute. Here are letters for you. The first one is from Dr. Watson."

Mrs. Smith gave Lydia the letter delivered to her.

"Okay, read the letter first, it's probably all one thing."

Lydia opened Watson's first, and inside was a short greeting letter for her, and a thick stack of letter paper that Tolydia handed over to Mary.

"Watson really values ​​sex over friends, and I'm also an unmarried woman, okay? It's too obvious to entrust me to hand it over so favorably!"

After reading the short greeting, Lydia stared at the tightly sealed letter paper that needed her to hand over, speechless.

"And it's so tightly sealed, am I the one who peeps?"

"Miss Lydia, what's your point?"

Mrs. Smith, who finally couldn't see it, reminded Lydia with a smile.

"Isn't the point that Watson values ​​sex over friends and doesn't trust me?"

Lydia tossed the letter to Mary, trying to make sense of it.

"Looking at the time of signature, Watson wrote you a letter six days ago, but he didn't mention the turmoil in London. Mr. Bingley left Longbourne very early, and Mr. Darcy left not long ago."

Mrs. Smith wanted to say, this is the point!

"It seems that the strike has been going on for a while. Mr. Bingley has a textile factory, which is the easiest place for workers to go on strike. He went to solve it, but the matter not only did not end, but intensified. Mr. Darcy also went to help, or his industry was also involved. .Before 6 days, these strikes were still suppressed and not reported, so Watson didn't know. But now I have received a letter from the earl, stating that within 6 days, the strike suddenly broke out and reached the stage of turmoil. point."

Lydia is still very reliable, and immediately analyzed a timeline, but the analysis cannot change her need to go to London.

"Do you need to tell Miss Jane about this, she should be happier, although she is still worried."

Mrs. Smith was also aware of the recent low pressure in the Bennet home.

"No, I don't dare to meddle in Jane's affairs."

Lydia thought about it, but still shook her head, not daring to take the risk of changing anything.

"Then you don't invite Miss Jane to go to London with you?"

Mrs. Smith didn't understand, just as she didn't understand many of Lydia's decisions, but she had always respected Lydia's decisions.

"I'll mention it later. Whoever wants to go, I'll just take her with me."

In the end, Lydia left the decision to her sisters.

………… At the dinner table…………

"Everyone be quiet, I have something to tell you."

Mr. Bennet saw that everyone's dinner was almost finished, so he knocked on the glass to let everyone listen to him.

Seeing that everyone's attention was focused, Mr. Bennet continued:

"It's like this. Lydia has something to do and needs to go to London. It may not be possible to come back at Christmas. Lydia suggested that if she can't come back, maybe we can go to London to reunite for Christmas this year. Everyone Do you want to."

When Mr. Bennet said that Lydia was going to London at this time, everyone had already had some discussions, and now they were asked to decide whether to go to London for Christmas, and everyone discussed it.

"It's not necessary to go, but if Lydia can't come back, do you want to go? Raise your hand if you are willing."

Mr. Bennet saw that everyone was only discussing but not expressing their opinions, so he had to ask again.

"I am willing."

The one who shouted the most was Katie, who was the first to raise her hand.

"Of course it's good to go with Baby Lydia."

Mrs. Bennet did not raise her hand, but agreed.

The other three sisters also nodded.

"Okay, then it's settled."

After finishing the important matter, Mr. Bennet wiped the corner of his mouth again, looked at the lively restaurant, and left secretly.

"I'm leaving tomorrow, and my father already knows. If anyone wants to go with me, I'm very welcome. Jane, Mary, do you want to go?"

Seeing that Mr. Bennet couldn't bear the noise and left, Lydia had no choice but to continue to ask questions.

"Lydia, why don't you ask me?"

Kitty tugged at Lydia's cuff aggrieved, pouted displeased.

"Then are you going? Let me tell you first, I don't have time to go shopping with you. London is a bit chaotic recently."

Lydia looked at Katie, who was obviously older than her, but who was more coquettish than her.

"You didn't call me, so I won't go."

Katie raised her head arrogantly, expressing that I disdain to go.

"Yes... How can London be worthy of Miss Katie? When I'm free, how about going with you with food and play?"

Lydia coaxed Katie while looking at Jane and Mary, waiting for their decision.

Elizabeth also looked at Jane worriedly, with encouragement in her eyes.

"I...don't go"

In the end, Jane refused and avoided the eyes of her sisters.

"I'll go! Lydia, I'll go with you."

Mary, who received a letter from Dr. Watson Tolydia, quickly made a decision.

"Okay, we're leaving tomorrow morning."

Lydia did not comment on the decision of the two of them, but only explained the departure time, and went to find Mrs. Bennet, the mother she was most reluctant to part with.
