Miss King in Pride and Prejudice

The ball at Netherfield gave Longborne a lot of talk.

On this day, Serena and Mr. King were processing documents in the study room. During the chat after processing the documents, they talked about the future of Miss Bennet and Mr. Bingley. May go into marriage.Mr. Jin is not as optimistic as Serena. He is not optimistic about the two of them. When asked why, Mr. Jin feels that two people with such similar personalities and so gentle cannot support a family.

"Grandfather, you're looking too far. That's after marriage. Now that they love each other, they can't see that far." Serena couldn't agree.

"Okay, let's talk about the pre-marriage. Both gentle people are easily influenced by relatives and friends. As far as the present situation is concerned, Mr. Bingley's relatives and friends are all opposed, because Miss Bennet's family dowry is not on the table, and this is likely to affect Mr. Bingley."

Serena applauds her grandfather's wisdom, but she won't admit defeat like that: "This makes sense, and I think so too, so I said there will be twists and turns, but the final result depends on Mr. The degree of love for Miss Bennet, if Mr. Bingley really likes Miss Bennet very much, even if he may be influenced by relatives and friends for a while, as long as he can't forget Miss Bennet, he will always come back."

"Serina, there are so many gentlemen and ladies in this world, and every single man and woman will meet so many men and women of the same age. How long can the love established after a few dances last?"

"But Mr. Bingley seems really fond of Miss Bennet, and they may be engaged in a few days."

"Naive Serena, did you say that his relatives and friends will definitely influence him? Do you think they will agree to Mr. Bingley's proposal? Mr. Bingley, who was not encouraged, did not act so quickly. "

"If it were grandfather you were trying to prevent Mr. Bingley from being with Miss Bennet, what would you be doing?"

"It's very simple, just divert his attention and take him to meet new beauties elsewhere."

"Grandfather, are you telling me not to trust the affections of gentlemen?"

"That's right, you can't just believe in a gentleman's love. It's everyone's instinct to love the new and dislike the old. Serena, you are still young, don't be fooled by them."

"So, according to my grandfather, in the end, Mr. Bingley's admiration marriage will make concessions for reality. In real life, the gap between two people makes it impossible for people who love each other to enter into marriage."

"Yes, that's what my grandfather thought."

"This is too pessimistic. Mr. Bingley is easily influenced because of his character. What about the proud Mr. Darcy? His wealth allows him to ignore the other party's family background and dowry, as long as he likes it. He is not a person who cares about other people's eyes, so is it possible for him to enter into marriage with Miss Elizabeth because of his love for her?"

"Mr. Darcy likes Miss Elizabeth?" Mr. King was obviously distracted.

"That's not the point. I mean Mr. Darcy's character won't let his love and marriage give way to reality, what do you think, grandfather?"

"Mr. Darcy's pride will not allow him to like a lady who can't be on the stage."

"It's not good to talk about feelings. The two older ladies in the Bennet family are very attractive women. Grandfather, if you don't answer my question directly, Mr. Darcy will not let his love and marriage become a reality." concession."

"Yes, Mr. Darcy will not let his love and marriage be compromised. But I still don't think Mr. Darcy will like a woman who is not up to his own standards. As long as Mr. Darcy is still single, you can see His standards are very strict."

Neither the grandparent nor the grandson could convince the other, so they took a short break and went to lunch.

After lunch, Charlotte and Georgiana joined the battle. Because of Georgiana's presence, they did not mention Mr. Bingley and Mr. Darcy, but only discussed whether a gentleman's love and marriage would give way to reality.

The four were divided into two factions again. The older Mr. Jin and Charlotte believed that a gentleman’s love and marriage would give way to reality, because everyone lived in real life, and reality always affects gentlemen in both tangible and intangible ways. their decision.The younger Serena and Georgiana believe that reality will indeed deter some gentlemen, but there will always be some gentlemen who will insist on their love, regardless of reality, and insist on entering into marriage with the person they admire.

Both sides discussed this issue very seriously, and both sides refused to give in. After an afternoon of debate, neither side changed their minds.

Georgiana did not even supper at the King's, but hurried back to Netherfield to ask her brother's opinion, and found Mr. Darcy in his room.

"Brother, when I went to Serena's house today, they were discussing whether a gentleman's love and marriage will give way to reality. Mr. Jin and Charlotte think they will, and Serena and I think there are some gentlemen who won't give in. Brother, what do you think?"

"This question is not easy, and my brother doesn't know which is the correct answer."

"Your brother, will you compromise your love and marriage for reality? Brother, you won't, will you?" Georgiana and Serena will think that some people will not compromise because they think Mr. Darcy will not compromise.

"Georgianna, I haven't encountered such a thing, and I am not sure whether I will give in." Mr. Darcy answered Georgiana very seriously.

Georgiana was very discouraged, "Brother, does reality really override feelings?"

"A solid marriage certainly needs an emotional foundation, but it must also be built on an economic foundation."

"As rich as my brother and Mr. Bingley, can't I forget about the economic foundation?"

"Women's dowry is not used most of the time, so the use of dowry is more reflected in status. A woman with a large dowry is more likely to gain a foothold in her husband's social circle, while a woman with a meager dowry is not. So easy, of course you don't have to worry about it, Georgiana, you're worthy of any gentleman."

Mr. Darcy pointed out the important point at once. Wealth equals status. This is the reality. This is the reason why it is difficult for a woman with a meager dowry to find a suitable gentleman. The reality is always cruel and cruel.

Georgiana, who was suddenly frightened by reality, was speechless.

Serena was also hit by the reality. She felt that she should correct her attitude and work hard. She did not rest after dinner, so she took out a few samples of sandalwood fans sent by the woodcarver. After taking a look, I found that they are all complicated patterns that are very expensive to carve. Of course, such complicated patterns must be very delicate and beautiful, but in order not to waste too much time, the output is also very limited, so they can only be used as high-end products. The owner of a fan shop There can't be only a few high-end products.Simple and fresh patterns that can be mass-produced are also very much in demand.Serena asked both the wood carver and the embroiderer to think about it.In addition to wooden fans, Serena, who has an embroiderer, thinks that silk fans can also be produced, and asks the embroiderer to make a few samples to see the effect.

Things have to be done step by step, Serena is not in a hurry, she asked the wood carver and embroiderer to teach some apprentices to share their work while proofreading.

Serena, who had her own direction, left behind her real marriage and had a good night's sleep.
