[Pride and Prejudice] Stupid life in the 18th century

Mrs. Bennett took her three daughters to Stratford to join her husband and son, and the Allen brothers continued to glow along the way.It's a pity that Little Portsmouth was not able to go with him, but he showed up before departure, talked to Jane, and finally watched the carriage go away.

Steve proposed to escort the Bennet family members to the small town of Manchester, but was opposed by the Earl of Portsmouth.

"Steve, you have to know that your marriage is by no means your personal matter. As the heir of the family, you should consider the interests of the family more." The eldest daughter has too much influence on her heir.He had seen the lady's looks and manners at the ball.

"Pretty ladies are everywhere, and Lord Field's second daughter is very nice."

"But I love her, and don't the sisters love the Bennet sisters too?"

"If you don't want to take on the responsibility of being an heir, then you don't have to inherit the family." The earl has already said this very seriously. If his son really escorted Jane Bennett to Stratford this time, it would be a bit of an exaggeration up.

Steve fell silent, compromising on his decision to go to Stratford, thinking maybe he could convince his family slowly later.But the first step in the struggle was a compromise, so why not compromise step by step in the follow-up?

After learning the news that the Allen brothers were traveling with Bennett's family members, the Earl and his wife were even more disappointed with Mrs. Bennett's unreliability.

The Allen brothers were still very enthusiastic when they saw Kant, but Kant became a little impatient after the greetings.In particular, Brother Allen asked about the dance in the town. Kant, who was born poor, couldn't bear to waste his time on having fun and dancing, and the conversation quickly cooled down.

Regarding Kant's difficulties, the Allen brothers knew that his temper was such a boring look before, so the two were not surprised.

Mr. Bennet was surprised when he saw the Allen brothers, and he was a little dissatisfied with his wife for agreeing to escort the unmarried lady with two married men who were not relatives or relatives.

After the Allen brothers attended a dance in the town, they had no choice but to return to London under the premise that Mr. Bennett did not persuade them to stay. However, the two were not discouraged. After all, the Bennett family would still participate in London's social circle. Don't worry. no contact.

Mr. Bennett and Mrs. Bennett were angry the very night the two men left. "My beautiful wife, as long as you have any sense, you shouldn't let these two men escort you and your precious daughters." If he knew that it was his wife who made the invitation, he might not be so easy to condemn.

Mrs. Bennet, though simple-minded, remained obedient to her husband. "Honey, weren't you satisfied with their brothers before?"

"Yes, I'm very satisfied with their appearance, background, and education, but their behavior this time is a bit out of place. Isn't it obvious that such a high-profile colleague is unusually close to my daughter?"

"Oh! I thought at least one couple could be settled!"

"Now I don't hope so!" Mr. Bennett is now resolutely opposed. What are these two young people's plans? Isn't this intentional to create a talking point?Such a scheming person becomes Andrew's brother-in-law and he doesn't know what will happen!Now it looks like the girls will just have to stay in town for a while.

"Well, my husband, I will never disobey what you say." Although Mrs. Bennet was keen on marrying off her daughters, she had no choice but to let go of her husband's clear dislike.

She stayed in the small town for half a year, during which the Miss Bennett's family not only helped with housework, attended dances, but also went to and from the textile factory.

Jane, who didn't know anything about it, naturally thought that Steve really couldn't leave. After returning to Manchester City, she returned to the day-to-day life of the nursery.After a long separation, Steve Portsmouth has not heard from him, let alone visited Kant.Jane became more and more uneasy. Before, she and Elizabeth questioned that a short contact could not produce love, but now she is undoubtedly suffering.

The worker's children were already very familiar with Jane, and the little ones surrounded her as soon as Jane came.Children always fall in love with beautiful, gentle and kind fairies and princesses, and Miss Bennett is such an existence within the scope of their contact.

The enthusiasm of the children also kept Jane from getting rid of her cranky thoughts, and she couldn't imagine what it would be like if Steve was engaged to another lady.People in love always think of themselves too fragile, infinitely expanding the influence of love in life.

"Miss Bennett, this is for you!" The little boy named Kay stood on tiptoe and held up the flowers hidden in the smock to Jane.

"Thank you!" After Jane accepted the flowers, the little boy ran back to the pile of children with a blushing face.The child's liking is pure and direct, and Jane suddenly wonders if her liking is hidden so deeply that Steve didn't see it at all?Although she began to read story books to the children, her thoughts drifted away, and her trance has become more obvious recently.

This is the first time for Mary to come to the factory's nursery school. She admired the teacher Miss Borg very much in the girls' school before, and now she immediately recommends herself to be a primary school teacher.

Although the children here are still young, they are already very sensible, and they are not as willful as Andrew who grew up in a comfortable environment.They are extraordinarily obedient, because if they cry at home, it is likely to cause verbal abuse from their mother, or beating from a drunk father.

Mary is also very handy in teaching. Although they also like to play, they get attention in the learning of literacy.Here, they can eat a full meal at noon every day, and the smocks made of old cotton cloth keep them from feeling cold.These are the greatest satisfactions for the workers' children.

After a period of preparation, Mary began to continue her writing, and this time she felt more comfortable writing romance novels than before.After repeated revisions, Mary sent the manuscript to the newspaper with anticipation and nervousness. This time she changed her pseudonym.If she fails again this time, she really doesn't know whether she should give up.

This novel includes many of Mary's own experiences and feelings, such as a young girl entering society, a gorgeous ball, and an elegant gentleman.

A week later, Mary received a reply letter, and of course she refused again.Although Mary's novels truly present social situations and the interaction between men and women, there are no twists and turns and plots. They are not very successful in character creation and background creation, and the plot is too flat.

Mary's biggest problem is her unsound concept of love.

But this time the editor wrote her own opinion, and Mary happily wrote back to the editor while knowing her shortcomings, thanking the other party and expressing her views on the current popular novels with the other party.

Over the years, those rich ladies who were married and engaged at the beginning of the women's magazine are now only Miss Wood who keeps in touch with Mary.Writing is just the catharsis of their girlhood and romantic feelings. Ladies have transformed into noble ladies, and naturally some girls have grown into young girls. What will never change is their youthfulness and various fantasies.

It has been a long time since Mary had been able to discuss novels with her so earnestly. After receiving the other party's reply, she was really happy from the bottom of her heart. She wished that there would be more disputes in the discussion, so that she could broaden her mind.The other party also kept recommending some books to her. After practicing writing, Mary's favorite thing is to go to Oxford. This hobby is very consistent with Kant.But Kant is much more frequent than Mary, which is a pain for Mr. Bennett. In order to avoid suspicion for young men and women, he has to accompany Mary whenever she is going to Oxford.

A lot of things can happen in half a year, and the topic of conversation in the social circle has changed several times. Mary is looking forward to returning to London most, hoping to have a coffee and talk face-to-face with her editor.

Elizabeth and Mr. Caesar can meet inadvertently in the town, but there are no such boring topics as before.After a brief greeting, Elizabeth still insisted on riding the family carriage to and from the Manchester Textile Factory.

Wendell Weir, who has been by Mr. Gardinal's side, is a little nervous every time he sees Elizabeth. Although he has seen many scenes with him, he is still very reserved when facing the girl he likes.Just being able to say a few words every day is enough for him to be happy.

After the Viscount Westminster put aside the concept of gender, he had a good conversation with Elizabeth, and he also liked to talk to her about political matters. He even felt that many of Elizabeth's management suggestions were based on politics. For example, the welfare system, training assessment, and performance management can more or less solve the immature provisions.

At present, part of the managers of Bennett Textile Factory are promoted from the original workers. This is also Elizabeth's opinion. Internal recruitment can be very motivating.After initial implementation in some middle-level management, it has achieved great results and stimulated the enthusiasm of workers again.

"Elizabeth, I heard from Mr. Bennett that you suggested him to find a tutor for Andrew." Andrew of the Bennett family is indeed a little naughty, but he doesn't believe it's just to restrain this little thing.

"It is said that education in Germany pays more attention to the children themselves, and will not have too much religious influence. Ansel, you can see how many people have experienced ups and downs in this era of great industrial development, but those at the bottom are always the cornerstone of the country. Without these Workers, our factories cannot generate profits, and they cannot contribute taxes to the country."

"It's true, if it weren't for the huge tax amount of our textile factory, Mr. Bennett would not have been awarded a baronet so easily. There are indeed many philosophers in Germany. Do you want Andrew to follow this path?"

"Didn't you find that the social status of businessmen and factory owners is improving? There is also the influence of various newspapers on public opinion. Everyone, including workers and peasants, has begun to pay attention to national politics and their own interests. What Andrew has to learn is not to be loyal to faith, but to need It is closer to people and understands people’s hearts. It understands the various interests and needs of workers, farmers, businessmen, and nobles. Humanism is the greatest opportunity of this era,” Elizabeth smiled confidently. "How can the members of the Lower Parliament compare with the Upper Parliament, or even the Cabinet?"

"Now I have to regret that you are not a man." The Viscount of Westminster always felt his own shortcomings after talking with Elizabeth. He was too greedy for comfort and afraid of trouble, and he had no big ambitions.It can be said that he has been hitchhiking with the Bennett family. Perhaps, as the housekeeper said, he really needs a wife.

"Men have men's burdens, women have women's responsibilities, and you still look down on women now!"

"Hey, you're just talking about these big things in front of me, so you can't talk about food, clothing, or romance novels?"

"You don't think of me as a woman anymore, of course you are not in my scope of mate selection, why are you talking nonsense to you!"
