Chapter 79 English Country Love Story⑴

Lin Sheng was Empress Xiao for 12 years, and Empress Dowager Xiao for another two years. At that time, she was already in her 50s.Seeing that Yang Zhao was able to restrain the crowd below, he disappeared.During her time as empress, she only went out of Chang'an twice, once to Luoyang and once to Yangzhou. Now that she is empress dowager, she should be at ease and see the great rivers and mountains.

When Lin Sheng woke up again, she turned into a 16-year-old girl, Lydia Bennett, who was elope with a man named George Wickham.

Lin Sheng decisively knocked George Wickham unconscious. She was really not interested in having anything to do with a man who abducted a little girl to elope.Lin Sheng stepped on George Wickham's back and dangled, and quickly figured out her current identity and the world she lived in.

Lydia Bennet was the youngest daughter in the family, and she had four older sisters, the eldest named Jane Bennet, and the second eldest named Elizabeth Bennet.Jane Bennet is in love with Mr. Bingley, and Elizabeth Bennet is in "Prejudice and Pride" with Mr. Darcy.

What a beautiful combination, and it fits the theme of "Pride and Prejudice" very well.

Now Lin Sheng has no interest in going back to watch the love history between Mr. Pride and Miss Prejudice, let alone being arrested and marrying Mr. Wickham.

It is the end of the [-]th century and the beginning of the [-]th century. Britain is undergoing the first industrial revolution, and the French Revolution is also happening vigorously. Kings are all on the guillotine. This is an era of gold everywhere. Lin Sheng thinks that she may be able to dig gold mines , be a Miss Pride.

When the Bennet family, Mr. Darcy and others found George Wickham who was about to starve to death, Lin Sheng had already jumped on the ship bound for India.

After the people of the Bennet family searched for Lydia to no avail, they all speculated that she might have encountered some misfortune. Mrs. Bennet's nerves began to hurt again, but life must continue.Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy began to become less prejudiced and less arrogant. After being obstructed by Mrs. Catherine, Mr. Darcy succeeded in proposing to Elizabeth for the second time.

Three years later, Lin Sheng got off the ship and set foot on British land again. She was worthless when she left here, but now she has a tobacco plantation estate covering a large area in India, and several ships are traveling back and forth in East Asia, Trade ships between Europe.Among the dozens of servants behind him now, there are all kinds of servants, and by the way, there is also the entire ship's luggage.

Having more money has many advantages. For example, Lin Sheng bought the location of the Turner family when she was the Countess of Turner and built a manor; for example, Lin Sheng spent money and bought herself a Countess At this time, there is still such an advantage, isn't it?The premise is as long as you have enough money.

Soon, Lin Sheng used the capital and connections she had accumulated to open several factories in the UK, invested in several industries that were destined to make a steady profit, and bought several shops on the busiest streets in London. , A steady stream of gold-absorbing weapons such as silk, tea, and porcelain poured into London.An auction has opened quietly in private, some things can only come quietly, aren't they?

Soon everyone knew that there was an extremely wealthy countess in London. She had unimaginable wealth in her hands, but she was mysterious and unpredictable. No one knew how she made her fortune, but it did not hinder her or the wealth behind her. , and became the target of high-quality men in London's upper class.

After attending a so-called high society party, Lin Sheng suddenly had a new idea.

After three years, Lin Sheng returned to the small town where Lydia had lived for 16 years.

In the closed town, there is not much to talk about on weekdays, and not many outsiders come here. When a team of luxury carriages drove over on this day, the people in the town became excited, secretly guessing whether it was a big shot from London.

The girls in the town have been secretly looking forward to it. Since the two ladies of the Bennet family married rich and rich young men one after another three years ago, they have become role models for the unmarried ladies in the town.

The carriage stopped in front of Bennett's house, and the ladies who had been peeping secretly gritted their teeth: "Why is it Bennett's house again?"

Mrs. Bennet was crying secretly in her poor Lydia's room, when the maid came in in a panic, "Ma'am, ma'am, it's Miss Lydia, she's back!"

"What? Oh, my poor Lydia!" Mrs. Bennet would see her sallow and emaciated daughter, but now she has grown her mouth and looked at the noble lady who was helped down from the carriage by the servants. The latest tutu skirt decorated with pearls and precious stones, and the sparkling ruby ​​pendant on the neck make the whole person bright and charming.

"My God, Lydia, are you really Lydia?" Not only Mrs. Bennet was stunned, but even Mary and Katie who followed were dumbfounded.

After knowing that Lydia was a countess, the Bennet family became more restrained. The highest-ranking person they knew, Mr. Darcy, was just a big landowner, not a nobleman at all.But now everyone thinks it's a stain on the Bennett family. Lydia, who has suffered some misfortune, has transformed into an aristocrat that everyone envies. Eyes flashed!

Mrs. Bennet couldn't cry, how could she say "poor, unfortunate" to Lydia like this, and she couldn't recognize her at all, it felt so strange!

It was Katie who spoke first. In the past, she was inseparable from Lydia, and Lydia was the only one who followed, "Lydia, why don't you remember to write back? We all thought you had some misfortune. "

"This question is very complicated. I came this time to ask if you would like to live with me. I have a small manor next to London." Lin Sheng said with a smile, "If you want, I can send you It’s okay if you don’t want to go to a girls’ school—”

Before Lin Sheng finished speaking, she was interrupted by the eager Mrs. Bennet, "They are both at this age, what books are they still studying, hurry up and find a good man to marry. Lydia, you are sure now I know a lot of rich men, and I must introduce them to your sisters, my God, I am so worried about their marriage now."

Mary opened her mouth, but squeezed it together without saying a word; as for Katie, she blushed, not knowing whether it was from embarrassment or anger.

Surprisingly, Lin Sheng was very patient with Mrs. Bennet, "Yes, I know a lot of rich men," she found a benchmark, "There are quite a few richer men than Mr. Darcy."

Mrs. Bennet fainted with excitement.

"Why don't you see Mr. Bennet?" Lin Sheng asked casually.

Mrs. Bennet replied casually: "He has gone to visit Elizabeth in Derbyshire."

Katie curled her lips.

Lin Sheng raised his eyebrows, "It's just right, I just bought a piece of land in Derbyshire not long ago, so we can just stop by and have a look."

"How much does it cost?" Mrs. Bennet suddenly said "Oh", "Lydia, you are not married yet?!" Her dress is obviously not what a young woman should dress up, Mrs. Bennet At first, I thought that Lydia was lucky enough to meet a noble man, marry him and inherit his inheritance, but now it is clearly not the case!Mrs. Bennet felt her head hurt again.

marry?Lin Sheng sneered in his heart, in this era, married women can't even keep their own dowry—otherwise, why are there so many men in London chasing her after her, she is just a big piece of fat in their eyes .As long as you get married, you can get rich instantly, what a business that makes no money.

What's more, Lin Sheng had no intention of getting married at all, and all her family property would end up being thrown in the Thames River, and she didn't want to take advantage of irrelevant people.

"Rachel, help Mrs. Bennet into the carriage." Lin Sheng raised her eyes, and the maid who had been silently following Lin Sheng dutifully carried out her master's order. She helped Mrs. Bennet into the carriage at the back .

"Mary, Katie, you sit with me."

Mary and Katie nodded subconsciously, and when they got into Lin Sheng's magnificent carriage, Katie couldn't help but exclaimed, "I thought Darcy's carriage was good enough," she carefully touched the bed in the carriage. "Lydia, do you really have a lot of money? More than Darcy?"

Lin Sheng keenly noticed Katie's dislike when talking about Darcy, also, Mr. Arrogant was not arrogant to anyone in the Bennett family at the beginning?She smiled and said, "I can buy you all the land and manor of Darcy's family, how about it?"

Katie froze for a moment, then quickly shook her head: "Elizabeth will kill me." She thought about the situation, and giggled.

Mary looked up at Lydia, summoned up her courage and said, "Can I really go to the girls' school you mentioned?"

"Of course, if you want."

Mary said solemnly, "I want to go, Lydia!"

Katie looked at Mary, then at Lydia, she was a little uncertain, after all, she had been indoctrinated by Mrs Bennett for a long time to "find a good man to marry" - now the whole society is Well, even Elizabeth, the heroine of this book, even among all the girls in this book, is lively, intelligent, quick-witted, and has a strong opinion of many things without succumbing to worldly conventions. Sample?In the end, she still married Mr. Darcy.

From Lin Sheng's point of view, this is undoubtedly a very idealized marriage. She kind of wants to know the life of the two of them after marriage - after all, the book only says that they are going to get married, and then it stops abruptly.
