Transmigrating into various wonderful roles

Chapter 5 Pride and Prejudice 2

It was three or four o'clock in the afternoon, when the sun was the warmest in the day, it wouldn't make people feel hot like noon, and it wouldn't just leave the sun like in the evening, causing melancholy, Xiaoying followed Jane into the living room, three Four girls were sitting around the dining table, enjoying their afternoon tea. The sound of the piano was softly falling on Xiaoying's ears, like catkins swaying in the warm air.

Stepping lightly on the soft carpet under her feet, Xiao Xiaoying couldn't help but feel a little unreal, as if what was displayed in front of her was a moving oil painting, and she herself seemed to be a passer-by inadvertently, and she could only set off a few points. Bolan left a trace, probably because it was the first time she went abroad directly, Ying Xiaoying guessed secretly in her heart.

The decoration in the house is a typical British style. The walnut wood furniture is well arranged. Of course, a fireplace is indispensable. The tea set with floral pattern, the bright silver frame with three trays, and the exquisite and gorgeous white lace, Spreading this graceful and delicate style to every corner of the room, Xiaoying thought that in such a warm and peaceful environment, even if she dressed as Mrs. Bennet and had a lot of bad things, it was worth dying for.

"Children, there is a new resident in Netherfield Manor. Mrs. Long just came and told me the whole story, Mary, don't stop, I was almost fainted by the master just now, Oh, please be considerate of my weakened nerves a little bit! I think I probably need to listen to some music now." Xiaoying glared at Mary who was sitting in front of the piano, supported her head and said loudly angrily. Relatively mediocre, the little girl who likes to play the piano should be Mary, the poor girl who is always ignored by everyone in the book, there is no way, who made human beings have been visual animals since ancient times, of course, she is no exception for Xi Xiaoying .

"Mom, Dad has made you angry again. Do you know the name of the new neighbor? Are you married? How is your income? Is he as handsome as Colonel Forster?" The one who kept asking questions must be Lydia. The youngest child, who likes the red tights of the militia, is deeply loved by Mrs. Bennet, always does things lawlessly, and elopes with Wickham on vacation. After being found, the two married, yes Mrs. Bennet was very happy about the fact that she was the first to get married among the sisters. She felt that Lydia was the most capable person among the sisters. Xiaoying had to say that she really had a weird way of thinking. Where did you see it? Don't you know that this matter has long been reduced to a laughingstock!

"Oh, Lydia, my little darling, I knew you were the only one who understood my heart best. His name was Bentley, and he was a rich bachelor. He earned four or five thousand pounds a year, which was worse than those soldiers in the militia. Much better, believe me, he'll take a fancy to you. Only now sir he won't visit our new neighbor, oh my head, it's starting to hurt again."

Xie Xiaoying made up her mind, anyway, that Mr. Bingley will be happy with Jane, it is better to facilitate them, and save herself from looking for candidates for Jane, as well as Elizabeth and Darcy, let them develop on their own, as for Mary, this It's a bit difficult to deal with, Kitty and Lydia, they are still young, and their personalities should be adjusted a little bit, and they can be raised for a few years, but you must watch Lydia, and you can't let her Seduced by that Wickham.

"But you forgot, Mom, we can meet him at the ball in the future. Didn't Mrs. Lang promise to introduce him to us?" Elizabeth's big eyes that fascinated Darcy turned around Non-stop, giving advice to Mrs. Bennet, and reminding her by the way.

"I don't believe that Mrs. Lang will really do this. She has two nieces herself. She is a selfish, hypocritical woman. I can't afford her. Lizzy, the master usually loves you the most. What you said He will definitely listen, and you will talk to him when he comes back tonight?" Xi Xiaoying had known for a long time that Mr. Bennet went to visit Mr. Bingley with the first group of people, and he didn't tell them, it was just for teasing His poor wife, that was probably his only pleasure now.

"That's okay, Dad won't listen to people's persuasion. Mom, you should calm down as soon as possible and think about how we can win Mrs. Lang's favor." Elizabeth said nonchalantly, she didn't think at all Mr. Bennet changed his mind because of her, even though she was his most beloved daughter.

"Oh, Lizzy, on this point, you and the master are always strikingly similar, and you don't listen to other people's suggestions at all, forget it, I'd better go back to the room and lie down, I can't cheer up at all now. "Xiao Xiaoying ended this conversation hastily, and didn't even taste the famous afternoon tea in Britain. She thought it was time for her to think about how to live comfortably instead of worrying about her daughters all day long. marriage.

The most important thing now is the issue of heirs. If it weren't for the lack of sons and no heirs, Mrs. Bennet wouldn't be in such a hurry to find a partner for her daughters.In the UK today, women do not have an independent economic status and source of income, and marriage is their only means of securing a living. Xiaoying Xiaoying has to admit that Mrs. Bennet's various absurd actions are said to be a darling hanging over her head. The sword of Mocles, that is, the family business can only be inherited by the male members of the family. This clause of the will is not unreasonable. Elizabeth and the others can only get a thousand pounds each as a dowry, which is not very attractive to men. , and everything they have now will be inherited by a distant relative, the arrogant and inferior Reverend Collins.

It may be affected by the original owner's emotions. As soon as she thinks of Collins' name, Xiaoying's heart throbs. It can be seen how much Mrs. Bennet hates that cousin whom she has never met, Mr. Collins.But, where did she conjure up a son for Mrs. Bennet? Xiaoying felt that she couldn't do anything right now. Why don't she wait for Mr. Bennet to come back in the evening and discuss with him whether she can adopt a boy or not? Do you know if it is possible? If it is possible, why didn't you take action before?Xi Xiaoying was not familiar with the law at that time. Of course, she thought that Mrs. Bennet probably didn't know much about it either. The relevant legal matters in the book were all mentioned by Mr. Bennet.

As for adopting a son, Xiaoying thinks it must be closer to Collins who has a bad relationship with him. The best candidate is a newly born and abandoned baby.
