[Pride and Prejudice] Mrs Bennett

Although Jane is only three years old, she loves her mother very much, so she always imitates her every move subconsciously. While a little girl is soft and cute, she already has a small part of Grace's elegance.Mrs. Wood loves her very much. The Bennett family has just become aristocrats, but Jane already has the demeanor of a real noble lady. She is also honored to be such a lady's tutor.

And the little prince Dylan of Jane's elder brother Bennett's family has grown into a sesame stuffed bun under the upbringing of Mr. Bennett and the baptism of Grace's occasional dark fairy tales.With golden shattered hair and blue sea eyes, he is a smiling young lady in the eyes of housekeepers and servants, but in fact, only his parents know what kind of child he is, even his twin sister Do not know at all.

Dylan knew the responsibility on his shoulders at a young age. He is the hope of the Bennett family, and he and his father will guard the mother and sister in the family, as well as the younger brother or sister in the mother's womb.Children from noble families with a sense of responsibility will grow faster.

It has only been a few months since Mr. Bennett became a Viscount. Dylan already knows the difference between a nobleman and a squire, and he also knows more about getting along with other noble children and knows how to think.

The Bennetts are very satisfied with the growth of a pair of children. Now they have a tutor personally recommended by Mrs. Wood, the Prince of Wales, and their respective nursery maids. They can temporarily relax a little bit in terms of raising their children.

Regardless of the fact that the Bennett family has become aristocrats in terms of fame and money, in fact their family is walking on thin ice.Whether Mrs. Wood became the governess hired by the Bennett family because of loneliness or some other reason, probably only a few people involved know it well.

At night, in the master room of Viscount Bennett's mansion, Grace was leaning on the four-poster bed in her nightgown, and Mr. Bennett was gently massaging her legs.Now five months pregnant, she is showing signs of pregnancy and her feet are starting to swell.Although there are maids to massage her during the day, Mr. Bennett still massages her himself once a night.

The reason is simple, this is his wife, and she is carrying a child for him.Besides, this kind of intimacy between husband and wife is also good for the child in the womb.

After stopping to wipe his hands with a wet towel, Mr. Bennett sat down next to Grace, who had closed his eyes and meditated. Looking at his wife's tired face, he stretched out his hand to caress her delicate face, and sighed He sighed and said, "I regret Grace, we shouldn't be so aggressive this time."

"My lord Viscount, high risk means high profit." Grace opened his eyes to meet his somewhat dull black eyes, and said with a smile, "His Excellency, the Prince of Wales, is looking for you?"

"With Mrs. Wood here, what secrets can we have?" Mr. Bennet snorted coldly, "Fortunately, she is really sincere to Jane and Dylan, or..."

"When we started to organize these properties, we were already ready, Cecil." Grace pulled back the hair from her sideburns, "It's not a loss for us to exchange these for a title. Isn't it? My dear, you see that there are so many new nobles now, but we are the only ones who have obtained titles in the true sense!"

Mr. Bennet looked at her distressedly: "This is all paid for with your hard work, Grace."

"My dear Cecil, didn't you always say that we are husband and wife, and you still want to divide us like this?" Grace sat up with his back propped up, and hugged Mr. Bennett into his arms, "I'm very happy To be able to contribute to our family, really."

"It's just that when I think of your hard work for a year... I feel guilty. Grace, after I married you, I should pamper you and let you live the life of a noble lady. Instead, you have been helping Me." Mr. Bennett leaned against Grace's arms with rare weakness.His wish has been fulfilled and he has become a real nobleman, but now he doesn't know if this is what he really wants.

There was a silence in the room, and Grace said quietly: "Cecile, if I hadn't married you, I would probably have become one of those women who are keen on gossip and only discuss new clothes, jewelry and operas all day long. That's not what I want. Because of you, my talent can be displayed, instead of really being a woman buried behind a man. Even if my talent is only known to you, it already makes me very satisfied."

"Freshwater pearls have been cultivated successfully, and a total of about [-] pearls have been harvested, of which about [-] are high-quality pearls." Mr. Bennett continued after a pause, "All the pearls have been taken back, and the Prince of Wales sent a lawyer today Come, let's see when I have time to sign the transfer documents of the farm."

Grace smiled and stroked the soft light brown hair of the man in his arms: "Why, dear Mr. Bennett, can't bear it?"

"...It's just that I'm not reconciled, Grace." Mr. Bennet's voice was dull, "If those four screens are sent to auction, they won't be worth only [-] million pounds... What's more, we don't have any money. I've never seen that money."

"We gain only by losing, Cecil. Isn't it great to give up some property and get what we want?" Grace's voice was gentle, with a touch of comfort, "You think, in the future, our Dylan I can descend to inherit your title, and our daughter can marry as a viscount's daughter, it's really a good deal, isn't it?"

"But we are involved between His Majesty the King and the Prince of Wales." Mr. Bennet smiled wryly.

"Your Excellency the Prince is His Majesty's own son after all, even if their relationship is not good, it won't be so bad." Grace said lightly.Would His Majesty King George III be ignorant of the virtues of his own son?That must be a joke.

"It's a good thing I'm not a royal. We need to strengthen Dylan's education!" Mr. Bennett said.

With a chuckle, Grace said, "Our Dylan can't compare with His Excellency the Prince."

"Of course." Mr. Bennett gritted his teeth and said, "[-] million pounds, Your Majesty the Prince really dared to tell His Majesty the King that I was almost scared to death! Grace, luckily I listened to your suggestion. Let Veron bring back three embroiderers from the Qing Dynasty, and their embroidery skills are not bad, otherwise we really can't explain it."

When the Prince of Wales found the couple privately through the shop steward, Grace hurriedly asked Mr. Bennet to find a few embroiderers from the Qing Dynasty.That book was good enough for Mr. Bennett, but not so easy when it comes to the royal family.Oriental embroidery is still well mastered by Orientals. Although the core of Grace is Oriental, the skin on the top is pure European.

In the eyes of the royal family, the Bennett family has mastered the magical silk technology, and after the Prince of Wales came to customize a birthday gift for his father, the Bennett family specially invited back several embroidery masters from the Qing Dynasty to complete the four leaves screen.

"So it's normal for us to be monitored by a tutor sent by His Excellency the Prince. Maybe there are some servants in the family who are also your servants." What Grace didn't say was that she felt that the people of His Majesty King George III in the mansion also No less.

"Grace, if only I could be as calm as you." Mr. Bennett said with a hint of frustration in his voice.

In fact, she is only so calm because she has lived in modern China for a long time and accepted the concept of equality for too long.The Prince of Wales' budget deficit is no secret in England. How would he spend so much money on birthday presents for his father? !How can it be!Of course George III also knew this, but everyone was pretending to be confused.

The 200 million pounds is the annuity of the Prince of Wales for almost 20 years. The real estate under his name may add up to that much, but it is not something he can easily use.George III really likes the screen, so he will naturally use money to replace his son—of course, he will not subsidize as much as the [-] million pounds his son said, but at least there are hundreds of thousands of pounds——Prince of Wales Finance The crisis of deficit can be resolved for the time being and it pleases his father. His Majesty George III got a screen that cannot be bought with money. In the future, he will be able to reward his subordinates with exquisite embroidery.

What did the Bennett family pay?Grace spent a year carefully embroidering four mahogany screens, small embroidery items that the royal family needs every year, and a freshwater pearl farm that can continuously produce pearls.But what they got was a viscount title, the favor of the Prince of Wales and the satisfaction of George III.

While the French constitutional monarchy was overthrown, the British Empire's constitutional monarchy survived proudly because of His Majesty the King, George III.Even though he suffered from mental illness in his later years, he was a good king.He knew his own son's tricks, but he was willing to give the Bennett family a title under his son's persuasion. Although he was a viscount without real power, it was enough to explain some problems.

Although troubles were unavoidable for the Bennett family, at least the couple's previous plan had been completed more than ten years ahead of schedule, so that they now have time to make themselves real nobles.Even if they can't be compared with the big nobles passed down through the ages, at least they won't be dubbed nouveau riche nobles when the children in the family grow up.

This was decided by Mr. Grace and Mr. Bennett when the Prince of Wales approached him to customize a birthday gift for the king. They were willing to exchange money for a knighthood.The feasibility of the plan lies in Grace's understanding of the current Prince of Wales in history and the future His Majesty George IV, and they finally succeeded.

It's not bad for Grace to be pregnant at this time, and staying in London will be more reassuring to the heart of His Excellency the Prince.All the Bennett family wanted was a title, and they had no ambitions for anything else.The most profitable silk embroidery shop in the family is now half of the shares of the Prince of Wales, and the pearl farm is directly transferred to him. What they left is some land farms and some properties invested by Mr. Bennett.
