[Pride and Prejudice] Mrs Bennett

Chapter 36

No matter how worried she was about the choice of a daughter-in-law, she couldn't jump out immediately, and Grace could only temporarily focus on Jane and Bingley's wedding next spring.According to the custom, the wedding ceremony will be held at the woman's home in Longborn, and then Jane will follow her husband to leave the apprenticeship where she was brought up and go to her and her husband's home.

Fortunately, Bentley has decided to buy the Netherfield Manor, and after marriage, he and Jane will officially settle in Longborn. Otherwise, Grace would be very reluctant to marry Jane.In a world without telephones and the Internet, it is not so easy to get in touch.Mail is now delivered by horse-drawn carriage, and that efficiency is not to be mentioned at all.

Time passed quickly in the busyness, winter went to spring, and finally it was the day when Jane got married.

In the Bennett family's living room, with the fire burning warm, Jane wowed her sisters in a white, floor-length, strapless wedding dress.

"Jane, are you going to wear this dress when you get married? It's really beautiful." Elizabeth stroked the white pearls on the wedding dress, looking like she couldn't put it down.

The wedding dress was covered with pearls. Although the fineness of these pearls was not very good, they were all of the same shape and size.And this wedding dress probably used thousands of pearls on top and bottom, so it took a lot of time and thought to get so many of the same ones.

Jane smiled happily. When her mother gave her the wedding dress, she couldn't believe it.Such a beautiful wedding dress was designed and made by Grace herself. She almost felt that she was the happiest bride in the world!

A handsome and wealthy fiancé, caring and caring for her father and elder brother, pampering and caring for her mother who raised her and cared for her in everything.

With a grateful heart, Jane became the most beautiful bride in Langborn in April.

She married into the Bingley family with an enviable generous dowry. In addition to the [-] pounds on the surface, Grace added a lot of land, a manor and several shops to her.Both Mr. Bennett and Dylan didn't care about the money, they spent it and earned it again, so that their daughters and sisters could live happily.

And Jane's wedding dress not only made the sisters greedy, but also made the eyes of the noble ladies and daughters who came to the wedding shine.When they learned that her wedding dress was designed and made by Mrs. Bennett herself, and that the Bennett family was about to open a custom-made handmade wedding dress shop in London, they couldn't wait to get the VIP card of the wedding dress shop from Grace. , and even more eagerly placed an order with Grace directly after the wedding.

Grace, who was still in a bit of a mood because of Jane's outmarriage, got busy all of a sudden. Seeing her designing a wedding dress with great interest and bringing her embroiderer to complete the finished product, Mr. Bennet was finally relieved.

Some time ago, Grace was tense all over. Mr. Bennet was worried that Jane would get sick after her wedding. After learning that Jane's wedding dress was designed and made by Grace, he arranged such an event.It can add a lucrative industry to the Bennett family, but also find something for Grace to divert attention from. It's not the best of both worlds.

When Dylan saw the proud Mr. Bennett, he just laughed in private. It's a good thing that his mother can't think of his marriage now that she's busy!

****

Time flies, when Jane's eldest son is three years old, and her daughter also holds a full moon banquet at Netherfield Manor, the wedding date of Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy is finally approaching.

During the past four years, after Jane and Bingley experienced the initial period of newlywed adjustment, the two became even more inseparable and loving.Jane has lived in a harmonious family since she was a child, and she hates lovers very much. When Bingley asked Mr. Bennett to marry Jane, he promised that he would never have a lover, so that everyone in Langbourne would not love the couple. While the husband and wife are envious and admired, some people can't help but feel a little disappointed.

Viscount Bennett is not looking for a lover, and his son-in-law is not looking for a lover either. Some women who do not make a living really make a living out of it, and London is more suitable for them to live in.

Caroline also married out in the past four years. After Mr. Bingley had a deep talk with her that day, she gave up all her thoughts on Mr. Darcy.Knowing that Mr. Darcy has no idea about her, is it possible that she will continue to fly to the flame?

No matter what, she was the lady of the Bingley family, and it was impossible for her to be someone else's mistress just like this, let alone whether the other person wanted to put a question mark.And because of Elizabeth, although the Bennet family didn't know her thoughts on Mr. Darcy at all, she was embarrassed to ask Mrs. Bennet and Jane to help.

He participated in two rounds of social seasons with his married sister, Mrs. Hurst, and married Caroline after finding a good match.The Bingley family can be regarded as the fringes of the new rich at best, and Caroline didn't want to marry a good person, as long as it can be better than Mr. Hesto, whom Louisa married.

Caroline has a dowry of [-] pounds, and she is pretty. After getting married, she has a pretty good relationship with her husband. She is now six months pregnant. If she can give birth to a son, she will be able to stand firmly in her husband's family.Although Caroline's husband cannot be compared with Mr. Darcy, he is also much better than Mr. Hurst.

Caroline still doesn't understand how Louisa fell in love with Mr. Hurst.

Grace didn't pay much attention to Caroline's marriage, and never paid attention to the girl after she knew she was married.She thought that no one would see her little thoughts, but the Belletts were all human, but they didn't point them out.Back then, it was only for Bingley's face that he took her to socialize, but now that she doesn't want to, Grace thinks it's easier.

She herself has three daughters to worry about, so how can she care about the marriage of her in-laws' children.

That's right, now Grace only has three daughters to worry about.Dylan had already had a good relationship with Darcy, and now he has become an in-law, so he often visits Pemberley Manor.After going back and forth, Dylan and Georgiana got acquainted, and gradually became more attracted to such a little girl.

How else could Darcy really understand Dylan as a good friend, and Georgiana's temperament was cultivated by him to be self-reliant and self-reliant like another Grace.It's just that she is still a little girl after all, without the mature charm of Grace, but more lively and lovely.

Fortunately, it's just a temperament. Although Dylan loves his mother, he doesn't have an Oedipus complex. He has no interest in marrying a little Grace.

When Grace heard the news from her son, she felt a little shy. After all, her three views were formed on the big stage, and she was a little taboo about such things like changing relatives.But think again that this is England, and she has seen Georgiana before, she is a nice little girl, and Dylan likes it... Although the age difference is a little bigger, it is not a big deal in Britain now.

Even she and Mr. Bennet were years apart!

The fathers of the two families have agreed to hold an engagement ceremony for Dylan and Georgiana after Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy are married.Because it was a daughter-in-law this time, the engagement ceremony and the wedding a few years later would be held in Derbyshire.

Fortunately, the Bennett family also has a manor in Derbyshire, so there is no need to be too busy.With the help of officials from Hill and Smith, Grace arranged everything in an orderly manner.

Everything is on track for Elizabeth's wedding, and when Grace is enjoying a rare leisurely afternoon tea, her adopted daughter Lydia suddenly brings an explosive news.

She has a boyfriend who can talk about marriage, and that boyfriend will make a special trip to visit Bennett's house tomorrow morning!

Grace was directly blown dizzy.

Delia is seventeen this year and will officially enter the social season next year. She usually travels between Meryton and Longbourne, surrounded by maids and tutors. How did she meet a strange man and talk about marriage? !

After Delia told Grace the ins and outs with a shy look, she could only lament that this world is really the world of "Pride and Prejudice". Now even Delia's official match has been tenaciously retained.

Fortunately, Wickham is completely different from the gangster in the original book. Now he is a positive senior officer of the Royal England.At the end of his three-year military academy study, he was assigned to come to Meryton to help Colonel Fausto establish a militia regiment. By chance, the two met at Colonel Fausto's house.

One is the younger sister of a good friend, and the other is a good friend of the brothers. Although they have been separated for many years, the two recognized each other immediately.After communicating with William Collins, the two got closer and closer, and finally confirmed their relationship, and then Wickham proposed to visit.

Grace looked at Delia for a long time, finally sighed and said, "Delia, go to the study and tell your father, Mr. Wickham has to be received by him."

Thinking that Grace agreed, Delia nodded with a smile on her face, and left the living room with a bounce. The 14-year-old twins, Mary and Catherine, looked at each other and quietly went to the kitchen.I think the biscuits they baked and the black tea made by them will make mother feel better, and the work of comforting her mother will be left to Liz who is about to get married. She will not have much time to spend with her mother like this.

"Mom, don't be sad." Elizabeth leaned her head on Grace's shoulder, "You still have us."

Putting her arms around Elizabeth's still thin shoulders, Grace said in a low voice, "Liz, although Delia wasn't born to me, I think I love her too... You see, she and Wickham The husband came back to me and Mr. Bennett when he realized that we were going to talk about marriage now, did she regard us as her family? Hehe, she knew that she should first give to William who works in the Diocese of Hunsford Write a letter, but I didn't expect to talk to us."

"Mom..." Elizabeth Xiumei twisted lightly.

The identities of Lydia and William are not a secret in the Bennett family, but Grace and Mr. Bennett at least treat their children equally on the surface.Now Lydia suddenly made such a fuss, not only causing trouble for the Bennett family, but also causing trouble for herself.

In order for Delia to marry well in the future, the Bennetts asked her to follow their surname.Delia's surname is Collins Bennett, and William is also an adopted son but does not have Bennett's surname on it.The appearance of Delia and William now made Elizabeth feel chilling.

Even if the Bennett family had two unmarried daughters, even if Wickham was now a lieutenant colonel with a bright future, wouldn't Grace disagree with them?Do you have to talk to William about getting married before you come back and tell your parents?

"I'm fine, Liz." Grace closed her eyes to hide the indifference in her blue eyes, "Let's go with Delia, she is William's sister, the Collins family has nothing to do with our Bennett family, does it? "

Mama was going to marry Lydia as Collins instead of Bennett?

Elizabeth was surprised, and immediately pursed her lips.If Lydia hadn't hurt her mother so badly, how could her mother make these decisions!

She decided that after comforting her mother, she would have a good talk with Mary and Catherine, and then take the two sisters to visit Jane at Netherfield Manor tomorrow.

The author has something to say: As mentioned earlier, Mr. Grace and Mr. Bennett will never treat William and Delia exactly the same as they treat their children, so their brothers and sisters will also have their own little thoughts.

And this small thought made Grace sad. She had never calculated these two siblings, and she was eager to consider letting her have the surname Bennett for Delia, and prepared a dowry for her!

So, this could be considered a split.

Outsiders are outsiders after all.
