[Zhongying] Rebirth meets a wizard

Chapter 45 Rose Flowering 2

Lydia touched the ring on her hand. Since she was sure that Sherlock and herself were in love with each other, her heart had been sweet. For the first time, she thanked her impulse. Maybe it would not be a bad thing to try marriage again.

After all, that was Sherlock, after all, she wasn't who she used to be.

In the flower field of the rose garden, the roses with flower buds are ready to move, maybe today, maybe tomorrow, there will be roses blooming.

After the members of the Bennet family settled down, their favorite thing to do was to take a walk among the flowers.

Even Mr. Bennet has to admit that it is beautiful here, and the roses are beautiful!

Not to mention the female members of the Bennet family, everyone loves this flower field and looks forward to the next May and June, which will be the most blooming period.

It is conceivable that the magnificent flower sea that is about to appear.

Recently, Katie always takes her sisters to paint in the flower fields.

In the painting, there are patches of roses, warm little houses, and family members looming in the sea of ​​flowers...

This is one of Katie's favorite paintings.

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

No matter how beautiful the scenery is, it cannot heal everyone.

There are three ladies who have their own hearts and are unable to fully devote themselves to this beautiful scenery.

Jane set out here soon after her return to Longbourne, and since she and Mr. Bingley were not engaged, it was inconvenient for them to correspond directly.

Because of this, Jane can't help but miss Mr. Bingley who is still stranded in London.

Mary was, after all, engaged to John, and she was much more generous.

Before leaving Longbourn, she asked Lydia for the address of the rose garden. Sherlock and Watson had just left at that time, and they hadn't set off yet, but they had just set a time to leave.

Thinking that Mary wanted this address for her fiancé, so Lydia looked at Mary with a smile and gave the address simply.

Mary, who was uncomfortable being watched, glared at her little sister.

"As the first to be engaged, my youngest sister, it doesn't make sense for you to tease me. Shouldn't we be the ones teasing you? A 17-year-old bride..."

"Actually, I won't be getting married that early, so not some 17-year-old bride!"

Lydia was not as shy as Mary, but shook her head generously and calmly.

"You can't take advantage of Mr. Holmes' absence to make up your own mind."

Mary and John's wedding time has not been set yet, but John is still very anxious, so Mary will say this.

"It seems that John can't wait to marry my sister!"

Lydia saw right away what Mary meant, and smiled maliciously.

Mary, who has never won with Lydia, is also used to it.

"I don't have time to talk to you! I'm leaving."

"Write a letter to John? Go get busy..."

Lydia smiled and waved.

Mary left angrily, feeling tired to have such a younger sister...

In fact, what Lydia didn't say was that the reason why she could tell the specific mailing address of Rose Garden immediately was because she had already written the new address in a letter and told her friends.

The circle of friends included Miss Bell, Miss Hurt and her Mr Holmes...

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

The days in the rose garden were very fulfilling, and the Bennet family just watched the scenery for 5 or 6 days. Seeing that May is coming, the weather has become warm and pleasant.

"Mr. Bennet, do you think we should visit our neighbors?"

After being quiet for so many days, Mrs. Bennet was a little restless.

"Mrs. Bennet, you're right. I don't know which one you've got your eye on?"

Mr. Bennet knew his wife well enough that she couldn't sit still and wanted to walk around with the neighbors while still teasing his wife.

"You know, your daughters don't have many left. Even if there are golden bachelors here, are you willing to give up your remaining daughters?"

It makes sense for Mr. Bennet to joke like this. Even though he hasn't visited anyone in the past few days, Mrs. Bennet hasn't missed any gossip she should know.

In fact, although the flower garden that Lydia inherited from Mrs. Brown does not occupy an astonishing area, it is in a good location.

The comparison is not big, of course, it depends on who you compare it with. As long as you compare it with the land owned by Mr. Darcy's family, then no one's manor is worth mentioning.

In fact, although Mr. Darcy owns half of Derbyshire, the rose garden is not far from the big estate of the Darcy family.

Perhaps that was the real reason why Mr. Darcy wanted to buy the rose-garden, and why his sister might have a part of it.

However, Lydia likes it here very much, and she is also very glad that she rejected Mr. Darcy outright last time.

It's just that, I don't know if Mr. Darcy will not welcome their visits as neighbors.

Lydia was thinking about Mr. Darcy's situation, and couldn't help but look at her second sister—Elizabeth.

Elizabeth, who was listening to her parents bickering, was a little puzzled by Lydia.

"Lydia?"

At this moment, Mrs. Bennet, who was emphasizing the importance of finding a home for her daughter with Mr. Bennet, was also attracted and looked at Lydia.

Lydia, who suddenly became the center of everyone's attention, had no choice but to speak, but she didn't know what her mother had said earlier.

"Well, one of our neighbors is Mr. Darcy, and his estate is not very far from the rose-garden."

"Really? But I haven't heard any gossip about the Darcys?"

It was rare for Mrs. Bennet not to grasp the situation, and immediately looked at Lydia intently, forgetting about the previous things completely.

This gave Lydia a grateful little look from Mr. Bennet, as if thanking his little daughter for his rescue.

Lydia shrugged at her father, saying that Mr. Bennet was always like this, every time he deliberately teased Mrs. Bennet, and then Mrs. Bennet yelled, and he couldn't stand it...

"Maybe it's because he's not at the estate."

Lydia answered without paying too much attention. After all, the master is not there, so the focus of the gossip will not be there.

"Very likely, let's not go to the proud Mr. Darcy's house. Don't say that he is not here, even if he is, we are probably not welcome."

Mrs. Bennet said a little indignantly that she didn't seem to be interested in this neighbor, or that she knew it was useless to be interested.

"But perhaps Mr. Bingley will spend the summer with Mr. Darcy..."

Lydia dragged the end of her voice, but now she has seen it a lot. Regarding the two brothers-in-law in the previous life, she is now more purely watching the show.

Sure enough, when Lydia said this, the eyes of Mrs. Bennet and Jane lit up.

"Mr. Bingley is not a good person either. You can see that he is friends with Mr. Darcy. They are not likable! We welcomed him before, but he just left..."

Mrs. Bennet still hated Mr. Bingley who never came back, so she complained duplicity.

As for Jane, she didn't share much of her London trivia with her mother, but now, she didn't want to hear her mother say that about her prince.

For a moment, Jane felt a little annoyed. She knew it would be better to talk to her mother. Thinking of this, she looked at Elizabeth begging for help.

Elizabeth, who received Jane's bewildered eyes and knew more about Jane's mood and her situation with Mr. Bingley, spoke for Jane.

"Mother... Maybe you should ask father to agree to visit the neighbors first. If father doesn't go, we can't move around, can't we?"

"Liz!"

Mr. Bennet immediately felt bad. Mrs. Bennet had already opened her voice today. He didn't want to experience her voice and nagging at this time!Just escaped a catastrophe before...

Elizabeth blinked at her father apologetically. This was the mother's original focus. She just helped her mother find the topic.

"Liz, you're right!"

Missing the eye contact between Elizabeth and Mr. Bennet, Mrs. Bennet aimed the gun at her husband.

"Mr. Bennet, tell me when you're going to visit your neighbors! We've already settled down, and it would be impolite not to visit..."

Amidst the sniggering of his five daughters, Mr. Bennet accepted his wife's nagging.

The experienced Mr. Bennet soon escaped. There is no study here, but Mr. Bennet has found himself a vacant room by the window on the second floor and named it his new study.

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

A few days later, Mr. Bennet has already visited the nearby neighbors like a striker, which also made it easy for Mrs. Bennet to find like-minded friends.

So at the dinner table, Mrs. Bennet's gossip became more abundant. Recently, there was movement in Darcy Manor, which had been vacant for half a year, and a doctor was invited.

How many girls met Mr. Brown in the Brown Manor closest to the Rose Garden...

"Today I also heard that the manor farther away has been sold. It is said that the new owner has moved here in the past few days. The family's population is not large. You must know that the manor is bigger than Brown's house plus Lydia. Both are bigger..."

Mrs. Bennet was beaming at the news.

Everyone still had breakfast as usual, only Katie and Lydia responded to their mother from time to time.

During the relaxed breakfast time, Lydia thought backwards about Miss Hurt's last letter.

What about Kelly's last letter?

Lydia was thinking, always feeling like she suddenly thought of something.

At this time, a letter from the Bennet family was delivered.

One from Mr. Bennet, one from Lydia.

Letters were delivered to their respective hands.

Everyone didn't pay much attention. Both Mr. Bennet and Lydia opened the letter after the meal.

"Dear Mrs. Bennet, I'm afraid the hero you mentioned just now is coming to visit our house."

After reading the letter with his glasses on, Mr. Bennet took off his glasses and folded the letter while talking to Mrs. Bennet.

"Who? Handsome little Mr. Brown?"

Mrs. Bennet has been fond of this handsome boy recently, and half of the gossip is his affair.

So now that Mr. Bennet said that, the first thing she thought of was this one.

"Mrs. Bennet, I'm afraid my daughters and I will be jealous if you love a young gentleman so much."

Mr. Bennet was amused by the bright-eyed Mrs. Bennet.

"It's the new neighbor you mentioned. He claims to be Hutt and is said to be Lydia's friend. He's coming to visit."

"Mr. Hurt?"

Mrs. Bennet seemed to be recalling who this person was, and she looked at Lydia after making sure she didn't know her. This opening almost wanted to investigate Mr. Hurt's account.

"Lydia, is this your friend? How old is he, what is he like..."

"Mother……"

Lydia stopped Mrs. Bennet's endless questions before continuing.

"Miss Hurt is my friend. I think Mr. Hurt came to visit because of his sister. As for him? Maybe you can see for yourself, mother, since we are neighbors, we will always meet."

"Too……"

What Lydia said made sense, so Mrs. Bennet didn't think too much about it, but began to think about what the gentleman needed to prepare for his guests when he came.

On the contrary, Mr. Bennet and Elizabeth looked at Lydia clearly, as if they were saying, Lydia, just fool your mother, whoever you want to deceive...

Especially Mr. Bennet who received the letter, he always felt that he had discovered something, but it was a pity that Lydia was already engaged, and Mr. Hurt hadn't heard the news yet.

"Mr. Bennet, did Mr. Hurt say when he will come to visit?"

Mrs. Bennet's attention was already absorbed in the presence of yet another gentleman.

"Mrs. Bennet, it's useless for you to be so excited. What if this gentleman is already married?"

Mr. Bennet's meaning is obvious. No matter how good this gentleman is, if he is married, Mrs. Bennet will probably lose interest in it.

Even though two daughters were already engaged, they were the younger two, which made Mrs. Bennet only more anxious for the two eldest daughters.

"Lydia, is this Mr. Hurt married?"

"Probably not, but I don't know if they are engaged. However, there are several countesses in London who like this gentleman..."

Lydia remembered that when he was in London a few months ago, he should still be single, but according to the base of the ladies who favored Mr. Hurt...

Lydia is really not sure, after all, engagement is just a one-sentence matter.

"Is that so..."

Sure enough, Mrs. Bennet's tone was not so high, and she didn't ask when the gentleman came.

"In a few days, the neighbor's information should be clear in a few days."

The letter in Lydia's hand actually said one thing, that is, this letter was a letter from Kelly Hurt, telling Lydia that she and her family were coming here for the summer.

It’s really hard to stay in London recently. With the gradual establishment of the underground drainage system and the warmer weather, it’s not very comfortable to stay in London.

Lydia knew that the Hurt family would definitely find a country place to spend the summer, but she didn't expect that the place their family chose would be near the rose garden.

I don't know if Mr. Hurt did it on purpose, or it was really just a coincidence...

Lydia had some headaches and had a bad feeling.

That night, Lydia mentioned this matter in a letter to Sherlock.

Maybe Sherlock could see the truth, she thought.

If Mr. Hurt did it on purpose, then she can rest assured that Sherlock will help her guard against it, lest Mr. Hurt, who seems to be rich and powerful, have any intentions.

As for Sherlock's mood when he received the letter, Lydia didn't know.

In other words, Sherlock's bad mood can also satisfy Lydia, so if you don't worry, she will come to her side quickly.

So on the other hand, this letter is also a little coquettish of Lydia, she hopes that Sherlock will come to her...

This coquetry is really cryptic, I don't know if Mr. Sherlock Holmes can understand it.
