If he is not suitable, he should not continue to pay attention to him, and he should not let himself continue to fall into deep trouble, otherwise it will not be a good thing for both parties.

After breakfast that day, the two gentlemen announced their upcoming itinerary, going to London to participate in the social season. Georgiana regretted leaving her friend, and the others were very much in favor.

They decided to leave the next day. Georgiana immediately went to tell Serena the news that they were leaving, but it was also in a hurry, without saying a few words. They agreed to keep the correspondence, and Georgiana went back to pack her things.

Just like what her grandfather said, diverting Mr. Bingley's attention and going to London to participate in the social season would be the best idea, but she didn't expect such a rush. There was no time for Georgiana to say goodbye to her, which was obviously a temporary decision.

At the same time, Miss Jane Bennet also received a letter from Miss Bingley, stating that they were going to London tomorrow to participate in this year's social season, and thought that she would probably have a sister-in-law in the spring of next year.This almost clearly indicated to Miss Bennet that she and Mr. Bingley had nothing to do with each other. This made Miss Jane Bennet change her face. She was completely unprepared.

Compared with Mr. Bingley, who was missed by others, most people clapped their hands to celebrate the departure of Mr. Darcy, including Miss Elizabeth and Serena, and Wickham, who grew up together but always disliked each other. Colonel.

After Georgiana left, Serena had one less person to chat with her, but Georgiana's letter arrived soon, and the two continued to exchange letters.

The simple fans are all in the shape of large and small flowers, hearts or snowflakes. The shape, anyway, is what girls will like. The irregular distribution of large and small shapes also makes the fan with relatively simple craftsmanship very cute.

Thinking that the social season in London is about to start, and the women gathered in London will start to purchase the dresses for the ball, the launch of the oriental fan is a good time.Serena asked Mr. Jin if it was a good idea to open a fan shop. Mr. Jin just let Serina do it by herself, without approval or disapproval, and only let Serina think, try, and go by herself out of your own way.

Serena asked the woodcarvers and embroiderers to start mass production of fans with simple and easy-to-make patterns but also very cute on the assembly line.Then let the butler go to London to set up a store, decorate it like an oriental fan shop, and send it to London after the number of fans arrives, and then let the store open.

Of course, they are all with simple patterns. There is really no time to make complex patterns.

Georgiana and Lilia were very happy to receive the gift, and they both asked Serena if she would go to London this Christmas, because the fan shop will open soon, and Serena will definitely go to London in the near future, so they wrote back to tell them , she will go, and she must write to tell them when the specific time comes.

Now that the store has been planned to open, Serena attaches great importance to the production of fans. She has given the woodcarver and embroiderer a lot of space and enough manpower. After separating the steps, let everyone make a part of it. Simple wooden fans and The silk fan is handed over to the apprentices who have been teaching for almost half a year. Only the carving and embroidery of the intricate wooden fan and silk fan are in charge of the carpenter and the embroiderer.The output of wooden fans is really difficult to be high, and the quantity is very fixed. Fortunately, it is easier to start embroidery. Silk fans can be produced in large quantities, even if it is a complicated embroidery pattern. Because there are many women in the Qing Dynasty who can embroider, they also produce a lot. .

Serena is not a stingy person, she distributes according to work, and pays men, women, young and old who contribute. All of a sudden, everyone's working conditions are very high, Serena also promoted several stable and honest people from the Qing Dynasty as managers , rewards and supervision go hand in hand.
