[Pride and Prejudice] Mrs Bennett

"Is it so serious?" Mr. Bennet was dumbfounded.To be honest, he has never been as handy as Grace in getting along with the children, and sometimes he can't understand their thoughts and logic.

"Yeah!" Jane nodded solemnly, her pink lips raised high, "I thought it was because my father finally knew my preferences, so I was very happy. But it was my mother's order. Do you think I am in vain? happy."

"Oh, Dad's little princess is angry. Dad will definitely remember what the little princess likes, and will order the housekeeper and servants to prepare the little princess what she likes, okay? So baby Jane, please forgive Dad this time. "Mr. Bennett communicated with Jane seriously.He remembered Grace's words, no matter how young the children are, they must be respected, and they cannot be superior by virtue of their status as parents.

"Well, I've forgiven Dad this time." Jane said childishly, the delicate appearance of the doll coupled with the serious expression, it's so cute.

Grace hugged Dylan and lowered her head and smiled. Her eldest daughter's black-bellied methods are getting higher and higher.Stretching out her hand to pat the back of the little boy in her arms, she said in a low voice, "Are you brothers and sisters deliberately working together to plot against your father?"

"Mom, where do we have it!" Dylan blinked his big sea blue eyes with an innocent expression on his face.

"Your father doesn't know about you, so why don't I know?" Grace reached out and flicked his forehead, "Don't do it too much, your father loves you very much."

These two little guys have been in London for almost a year, and they have already learned how to talk to the servants without any trace.Besides, that girl Jane clearly heard that she told Hill to write to Mr. Smith to prepare the dolls, so it would be strange if she didn't know how those dolls came from!

Moreover, the relationship between their husband and wife is very good. The twins are also very clear about what Mr. Bennett and Grace will do when they are alone.Unmarried women in Europe can't be too enthusiastic to make people feel dissolute/slutty, but married women can make out with their husbands outside.

Although Mr. Bennett didn't socialize with those nobles because of Grace's pregnancy when he was in London, the two twins in the family did know a lot of friends, and they naturally knew about the private affairs of the nobles.

The twins hope that the Bennett couple's relationship will continue to be good like this, but don't be like their friend's father who keeps mistresses outside!So interrupt the couple from time to time to make their time alone more precious.

What is not so easy to get is the best!

It is not easy for children in noble families. Even if the Bennett family is not considered a real noble, the children in the family grow up much faster than ordinary children.

Grace, of course, was as ignorant of the little minds of the two boys as Mr. Bennett was, but it was true that they were much more mature than when they left Longbourn.One is the eldest son of the Bennett family who will inherit the title in the future, and the other is the eldest daughter of the Bennett family. It is not bad to be able to do so.

"Mom, I know Daddy loves us." Dylan turned his head to look at Jane who was being held by Mr. Bennett, and raised his voice, "We love Daddy too, right, Jane?"

"Of course, how could you not love Dad!" Jane nodded vigorously, expressing her seriousness.

"Be careful of sore neck." Grace stretched out his fingers and tapped on Jane's forehead, put down Dylan and signaled him to go to the sofa next to him and sit down. "Afternoon tea will be delivered soon."

Dylan pouted: "Mom is not fair, every time she treats me with a bomb, she just taps it lightly for Jane and it's over!" sit down.

"Can you compare with Jane? Jane is a girl and you are a boy." Grace said lightly.No matter what era it is now, the principle that girls should be pampered and boys should be poor will not change with her.

"Mom, other people's families are patriarchal." Dylan pursed his lips.

"Sooner or later, my daughter will get married, so why don't you feel more pain before that?" Grace looked at Jane, who was still nestled in Mr. Bennett's arms and refused to sit by herself, with a sad face, and suddenly felt a sense of melancholy in her heart. breed.

Jane is getting more and more beautiful, and Liz is growing up day by day. Even if she is 16 years old, she can go to a ball and get married. Why do her two daughters feel that they can't stay with her for a long time?She is only 24 years old, has she become a yellow-faced woman who wants to marry her daughter? !

Mr. Bennett noticed the inconspicuous entanglement in his wife's eyes, and after putting Jane down and letting her sit next to Dylan, he asked, "What are you thinking, Grace, so preoccupied?"

"It's nothing, I just lost my mind for a while." Grace smiled wryly, and she was not disturbing herself.Looking sideways at Hill who was standing aside, she asked, "Where's Liz, haven't you woken up yet?"

"Yes, Miss Liz is still sleeping, and Mrs. Grant is with her in the baby room." Hill lowered his head and replied, "When Miss wakes up, she will bring her over."

"Well. Mr. Smith will gather all the servants at ten o'clock tomorrow morning, and you will identify them together." Grace wanted to train Hill to be the housekeeper of the Bennett family. It is more convenient for women to take care of it.

The study door opened again, and Anna came in with two maids, and the trays in their hands contained exquisite tea sets and refreshments.After putting down all the things, the two maids bowed to salute and retreated, and Anna stayed behind.Hill was standing next to Grace, and she was standing next to Mr. Bennett.

Grace's eyes flashed, but without saying anything, she gracefully picked up the teapot and poured black tea into the four cups, then added milk and honey according to the tastes of the four members of the family.When I was in London before, the cook always added milk and honey to the black tea after making it. The four masters of the Bennett family tasted the same, but there were some small differences in details.

"This is the real black tea. You can add whatever flavor you like. Our family used to be lazy." Grace said with a smile.

Jane picked up the teacup and took a sip, then smiled and said: "But I think it feels more intimate that way, Mom. You see, what we drink is all poured from the same teapot, and the taste is the same. You can add it yourself Milk and honey, it feels so cold."

A girl who is less than four years old already has such a demure appearance, Grace would have been unbelievable if she hadn't seen it with her own eyes.Her child is so precocious that she feels distressed. I hope that the second daughter Elizabeth will be better. She is neither the eldest son nor the eldest daughter, so the pressure should not be as great as the twins.

"I like to drink tea like this." Dylan held the teacup, smiling brows and eyes. "This is what my mother poured for me, and it's my favorite flavor. It feels so satisfying."

"You two brothers and sisters." Grace shook her head and looked at Mr. Bennett who was drinking tea silently. "Then my dear Mr. Bennett, how do you like to drink tea?"

"I just want you to be by my side, Grace." Mr. Bennett said lightly, but his black eyes were fixed on his Mrs. Bennett. "With you, any tea is delicious."

Grace's face turned to the side, her ears were a little red, and after six years of marriage and three children, she still couldn't cope with Mr. Bennet's sweet talk from time to time.Just because she knew that what he said was the truth, so every time she heard it, her heart was always mixed with sourness and sweetness.

In this world, she is no longer alone, she has her own blood, and him.

"I am very happy to be able to marry you, Cecil." Leaning her head on his shoulder, she gently closed her eyes.Outside the window, the softened sunlight came in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, causing the expression on Grace's face to flicker.

Dylan and Jane looked at each other and smiled brightly.The relationship between mother and father is good, which makes them very happy.It is their happiness to live in such a warm and happy family.Compared with their friends, they can be said to be extremely happy, so they have to work together to make this happiness last forever.

The eyes of Hailan and Azure glanced at the red-haired maid standing aside, with slight contempt in their eyes.

****

When Mr. Bennett and Grace got acquainted with the various affairs of Longbourn, the country gentlemen of Longborn called one by one, and the first one was naturally Sir Lucas.He wrote a letter to visit on the afternoon when the Bennets returned to Longborn, and made an appointment to visit Mr. Bennet in the afternoon of the next day.

The conversation was not pleasant to Mr. Bennett, but it was not too difficult.After all, Sir Lucas is also a mayor, and of course he is not completely unmannered.After properly expressing his goodwill and asking His Majesty the king about the recent situation in the palace, he left.

Sir Lucas was personally satisfied with this visit.Even though Mr. Bennett became a viscount, his friendship with his old neighbor has not changed much. He is not particularly superior, and he has not deliberately used his status as a viscount to suppress him.

Then, Mr. Fausto, Mr. Jin, and Mr. Lange made appointments to visit each other.Ten days later, a ball was held at the Bennett mansion.

In the study room, Grace was leaning on the sofa with a French novel in his arms, and in the cradle next to her, Elizabeth was blowing bubbles with her eyes closed.

When Mr. Bennett came in, he saw this leisurely scene. He curled his lips and walked over and whispered, "There is going to be a dance tonight, and you, the mistress, are still slacking off here?"

"Didn't Dylan and Jane say that they want to learn how to organize a dance party? I arranged for Mrs. Wood and Hill to give them a reference. It shouldn't be a big problem." Grace didn't raise her eyes, and turned a page of the book while talking .

"The two children are not four years old, are you so relieved?" Mr. Bennet sighed.

"Don't worry if you don't worry, don't you?" Grace tightened her fingers holding the book, and then said relaxedly.

He leaned over and pulled her into his arms, letting her lean against his chest: "You're pushing yourself too hard, Grace."
