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

The Viscount of Westminster was also returning to London with the Bennet family this time. This kid has now moved on with the idea of ​​marrying a wife, and he has honestly explained it to Mr. Bennet in advance.Mr. Bennett feels a headache now. According to him, this guy is pursuing Elizabeth. The key is that he didn't see any emotional interaction between the two.Of course, Mr. Bennett did not tell Mrs. Bennett, and he himself did not express his opinion. Among these daughters, Elizabeth is the most assertive.

Elizabeth didn't take what the Viscount of Westminster said seriously at all. Maybe he was serious, but this starting point has nothing to do with love.

The Viscount of Westminster completely regarded the Bennett's house as his own home, and came here to eat and drink whenever he saw the sky. Of course, his visit was welcomed by Mrs. Bennett and supported by his old housekeeper.

"Elizabeth, shall we go horseback riding in the countryside today?" He said naturally after breakfast, taking advantage of the fact that only Elizabeth and Catherine were clearing the table in the dining room.

Seeing this guy who came to report early in the morning, Elizabeth was somewhat helpless, whoever made him feel welcomed by the hostess and hostess! "Ansair, I really think you might as well move in with us!"

"If you really think so, I would like it! You know that my house is very deserted, so the old housekeeper and I are the only two people in the big house, hey~!" A gloomy look appeared on Ansair's pretty face. His eyes were downcast, and his bright, harmless eyes were shaded by long lashes.

Catherine, who came back for vacation, still had the impression of this noble boy, who was delicate and frail, beautiful and gentle a long time ago.Looking at the sad look of the beauty, the mother's love immediately burst forth. "Oh! Viscount, it doesn't matter if you can stay here, we all welcome you."

Ansair listened, and immediately showed a beautiful smile to Catherine. "Miss Catherine, you are such a good girl." Turning her face to look at Elizabeth was a proud expression.

Elizabeth gave him a blank stare, for a man with ulterior motives who has no love and wants to pull her into marriage.Naturally, she doesn't have a good face, no matter how good-looking this guy is.Apparently, this nobleman also knew his own appearance advantage very well.

In the end, Elizabeth and Ansair went horseback riding in the countryside under the expectant gaze of her mother.Seeing this guy succeed, she felt a little unhappy in her heart. Whether it was Andy Allen or the nobleman in front of her, the biggest taboo they violated Elizabeth was calculating.

Originally, he wanted to go out alone to clarify with Ansair, but he met Steve, the eldest son of the Earl of Portsmouth.When Jane returned to London, she went to the lady's salon every day in order to meet him.Unexpectedly, Steve was riding here with Miss Audrey of Lord Field's family.

Elizabeth was very disappointed with these too realistic men, she had seen his love for Jane.A cavity of anger immediately sprayed on Ansair's head. "Ansair, if you really regard me as a friend, don't mention this matter again. Your family background is very superior, but how can you be sure that we will be happy together?"

Ansair was a little taken aback by Elizabeth's sudden outburst, but fortunately, he had a mild temper. "Hey, although I don't know why you are angry, but if you are in such a bad mood, let's go back." I didn't regard myself as an outsider of the Bennett family at all.

In the past few days when Jane returned to London, she had already known that her relationship had changed, but in the lively atmosphere of the ladies' salon, she would not be too sad, perhaps it is more appropriate to call it confused.The short-lived infatuation and the separation of more than half a year were not as painful as she imagined.

Now Diana, the second daughter of the Earl of Portsmouth's family, is sitting next to Jane, eating snacks and flipping through women's magazines, while complaining about Jane's previous departure.

"Jane, you see it's been half a year since you left. I really hope you can become my sister-in-law."

But Betty Portsmouth, who knew the inside story, patted her sister's hand and said that the marriage is independent, and it doesn't depend on the scope limited by the parents.Even if it was her own marriage, let alone the marriage of the heir, only a foolish Diana would think that they could succeed. "Jane, your new gauze dress is really nice, especially the little ruffles on the neckline and cuffs."

"Elizabeth and Mrs. Chen have drawn a new issue of drawings. You can look for them on the bookshelves. There are exactly this type."

"If you ask me, these clothes patterns can be sold to tailors."

"Diana, even if you are a noble lady, you don't have custom-made clothes outside all year round, and you don't have many custom-made clothes in your closet. After all, this is the handicraft of girls."

"Betty, you're here again. You clearly know that I'm not good at working as a girl. Jane, we're going to hold Steve's engagement party in a month's time. Every time I mention his engagement, I always regret it."

Jane smiled softly, as if she was listening to the marriage news of other people she didn't know well. In fact, they were not very familiar with each other.

"Jane, your family should be on the invitation list." Betty said with some worry.

"Then congratulations to your family."

After Mary returned to London, she made an appointment with her editor at a Chinese restaurant. How old is this gentleman?But from the exchange of letters, he should be a funny person, right?With anticipation, Mary stood in front of the closet picking out the dress she was going to wear tomorrow.

After breakfast the next day, Mary went out to the Chinese restaurant, wearing a linen dress with a high collar and the agreed green wool shawl, which made her green eyes more radiant.

"Mary, why are you here today?" Mrs. Chen, dressed in Hanfu, smiled softly. After coming to England for so long, she finally learned some spoken English.

Mary smiled a little embarrassedly, and she knew very well that her actions were a bit bold. "My friend and I made an appointment to meet here, is my little sister at home?"

After Mrs. Chen came to the UK, she gave birth to a daughter. Ms. Chen had just been weaned not long ago, and she was usually carried by Mrs. Chen in a small pannier.

"She's asleep, and she's in the rest room at the back. If you have anything you want to eat, just tell Richard, he knows you."

"Okay, thank you, Mrs. Chen."

"You're welcome, my family."

Looking at the time, it seemed that it was a little early. Mary was about to go to the newspaper stand to get a newspaper when she heard a girl's voice behind her.

"Are you Miss Marianne?" A small and lovely girl with thick curly black hair and delicate features.

Mary froze immediately. Can an editor have a woman?

"Miss Marianne, I think I should call you Miss Bennett?" The gentleman next to the girl smiled happily.

"Mr. Reed!"

"Long time no see, I'm the editor of the novel's serial page."

"Ah, yes, long time no see." Seeing Tom Reed, Mary's face burned instantly, and she turned out to be an acquaintance.In fact, as a student of the Faculty of Arts, most of the graduate work also deals with words; just like most of the students of the Seminary become priests.

"I'm really sorry to keep you waiting!" Reid said gentlemanly, opened the seats for the two ladies, and then introduced them. "Miss Bennet, this is my sister Anne; it is my sister who has been corresponding with you. Anne, Miss Bennet is a student at Mrs Cowley's girls' boarding school."

"Nice to meet you. My name is Mary Bennett. I didn't go back to school after typhoid fever last year."

"That's really a pity. I have always wanted to live in a girls' school, but my mother has always refused to agree." Apart from economic factors, it is also because Annie is the only girl in the Reed family.Miss Anne pouted and said with some complaints.

Tom Reed looked at them happily. "I think, I just need to stay quietly by the side."

Mary looked at him, and the heat on her face didn't fade away. She didn't know whether it was because the gentleman she knew knew she was writing, or because the gentleman had read the minds of her girls.Fortunately, being a stranger would not be so embarrassing. "Miss Anne, we can make an appointment at the ladies' salon in the future." Feeling Reed's gaze from the opposite side, Mary's white ears also burned uncontrollably.

Annie looked at her brother beside her, and then at Mary Bennett, smiling. "It would be fine if we meet at a Chinese restaurant when my brother is not busy. After all, the opinions of professionals are more important!"

As long as she thought that her cranky and whimsical love stories had been read by this man, Mary became more flustered.He didn't dare to look at Reed. Although the school taught the etiquette in dealing with gentlemen, what should we do in this situation?

"Miss Bennett, judging from your work, it is somewhat similar to Miss M in the above."

Now Mary was even more embarrassed, "I did write an article before." Her voice was so small that only she could hear it.

"Tom, look at me and say it should be a person! Miss Mary, I like the pastoral notes you wrote the most. They are very interesting."

"Well, but then I was rejected from writing novels."

"Miss Mary, don't give up, I think your writing is really good."

"Yes, Miss Mary, I think you should keep going, too."

Being looked at by Reed's blue-gray eyes, Mary felt a little uncomfortable anyway, but she didn't dare to move her butt frequently, which really didn't conform to the etiquette she had learned
