"Mr. Holmes, Mrs. Holmes, nice to meet you." Jojo received his future parents-in-law at the door of the house.
It can be seen that Mycroft looks more like his father, while Sherlock looks more like Mrs. Holmes.
"Oh, you are so beautiful, my dear, may I call you Lydia?" Mrs. Holmes is obviously a warm and lovely lady.
"Of course, ma'am."
"Honey, you can call me Erin."
"My pleasure, Irene." Jojo and Mrs. Holmes had a cordial conversation.
"Sherlock, long time no see."
"It's really hard to believe that one day I will meet McCoff's fiancée with my parents. This is really a waste of time. I still have a very important experiment to complete."
Compared with the polite Holmes and his wife, Sherlock didn't consider himself an outsider at all. After greeting Jojo directly, he sat down on the sofa carelessly.
"Oh! Xiali, what have you experienced in London in the past few years, do you need me to hire you an etiquette teacher again?" Mrs. Holmes saw her youngest son's faux pas, and she simply wanted to remake him.
"Mom, I have a few etiquette teachers who specialize in serving the royal family that I can recommend to you." Mycroft smirked on the sidelines.
Qiao Qiao secretly twisted Mycroft, this is not the time for falling in love and killing each other.
"Irene, it's nothing, Sherlock and I are also good friends." So she can still tolerate bear children and so on.
"Sherlock, I thought you would like the dish I delivered to you that time. I also prepared it today. If you think it's a waste of time, then I'm sorry." So if you want to eat delicious food, sit down obediently ,Shut up.
Looking at the bear boy who had calmed down, Jojo breathed a sigh of relief. She always felt that Sherlock was not Mycroft's younger brother, but her younger brother. To coax him, both sweet dates and big sticks were indispensable.
Jojo asked Betty to serve tea and snacks to the guests.Prepare yourself to help out in the kitchen.
"It's rare to see you so obedient, Charlie." Mycroft smirked.
"Mycroft, I think you should play a game of chess with Mr. Holmes." Jojo turned around, knowing that Sherlock was a brat, and he still teased him from time to time, what a hobby.
Seeing Mycroft obediently getting up to get his things, Mrs. Holmes and Mr. Holmes exchanged glances. This girl was able to suppress the two brothers.
[This child must be married back home! 】—Mrs. Holmes.
【Aren't you already engaged to McCoff? 】—Mr. Holmes.
[The wedding date hasn't been set yet. 】—Mrs. Holmes.
[Trust Mycroft. 】—Mr. Holmes.
[No, you have to be kinder later, you know, if you scare away your daughter-in-law, you don't have to go back with me. 】—Mrs. Holmes.
【…】—Mr. Holmes.
After a meal, the four Holmes ate to their hearts' content, and Mrs. Holmes praised her repeatedly. Even Mr. Holmes, who looked a little serious, had a much more cordial attitude.
While Qiaoqiao breathed a sigh of relief, he also lamented the charm of food.
When sending Holmes and his wife away, Sherlock also took away a large box of jerky that she made a few days ago.He loves this snack so much.
What can Qiao Qiao say about this behavior of eating and taking all at once, the only thing he can say is not to eat too much at once.
"My dear, you are so kind to Sherlock." It's almost like raising a son.Think about it, if the two of them have children in the future, if they are like Sherlock, he will definitely lose many years of life.
Looking at the obviously jealous fiance Qiao Qiao smiled and kissed him on the face.
"Honey, the reason I'm so kind to Sherlock is because he's your brother."
In the next few days, Mrs. Holmes would invite Jojo to listen to her favorite Shakespeare from time to time.After spending time with them once, Mycroft didn't want to go again.
Qiao Qiao doesn't force it either. Individuals have their own preferences, and there is no need to force others to like what they like, even if they are husband and wife, and their relatives are the same.
"My dear, you are such a considerate girl."
Everyone can see that Mrs. Holmes is satisfied with Jojo.In the process of getting along, it has been mentioned more than once whether they have set a wedding date.For questions like this, Jojo pushed them to McCoff.She's a total bum and can take any time.
Anyway, meeting the parents this time was very smooth. After Mr. Holmes finished his business, the couple were ready to leave.No way, no matter how many Shakespeare operas there are in London, it can't change its uncomfortable environment.
"How about it, this time we meet." Elizabeth puffed out her stomach, drinking milk.I am concerned about the situation when my sister meets her parents for the first time.
"Everything is going well, and Mr. and Mrs. Holmes are not difficult people to get along with."
"That would be wonderful." Both Darcy's and Bentley's parents had died young.Neither she nor Jane has experience in this area.
"I have written to my father and mother about the Longbourne succession. When my father is well, he should come to London."
"I've also written to tell Jane that they should come with Dad."
Qiao Qiao nodded. It seems that this year's London social season, their family will be reunited in London.
"Father's injury should be almost healed. When they come over, I will ask a teacher to teach the etiquette to meet the Queen. Anyway, their family shows their faces in the whole of London's high society, so they can't be looked down upon by others."
"That's exactly what I want to say. Originally, I wanted William to look for it, but with McCoff around, we don't need to do anything extra."
"Now I really want to see what kind of expression Mr. Collins will have when he gets the good news." Elizabeth laughed narrowly.
"Oh dear, you said something I wanted to know too."
The two sisters looked at each other and smiled, waiting to see a good show.
"Lizzie, when is your due date?"
"About mid-May, William and I have already discussed that this time the production will be in London." The month was small before, so we could rush some way, but now it is not a wise choice to rush back to Longborn or Pemberley.
"Well, Lizzie, I have some spices here. You can light them in your room when you go back. It's good for you and the baby." Jojo checked Elizabeth's pulse, just like Jane, because the two births were separated The time is too close.The body is already overloaded.
"Thank you, Lydia, thank you so much. This pregnancy also feels a lot harder than the last one." My body knows that Elizabeth can feel powerless in many cases.This is why she can't control her emotions sometimes.
If you are physically uncomfortable, your temper will naturally not be good, let alone a pregnant woman.
"Take care of yourself, Lizzie."
"Oxford-Cambridge Regatta?"
"Yes, because the Prince of Wales is in Cambridge, and this time he is also attending, the Queen will be here in person. This is an invitation letter that the Queen asked me to bring to you."
"Oh," Qiao Qiao accepted the exquisite invitation letter, since it was like this, she had to attend.
It is said that this Oxford-Cambridge Rowing Race marks the beginning of the social season in London. This time, the Prince of Wales will join and the Queen will be here in person. I am afraid it will be much more lively than before.
The weather outside is still quite cold, and the wind is even more biting when we go to the water's edge.
On the day of the game, the weather is beautiful.The light rain of the past few days stopped today.The rare sunshine just made Qiao Qiao feel much better after going out.
The best place to watch the game is on the towpath on both sides of the Putney Bridge.You can see the whole race here.
When Qiaoqiao arrived at the destination with Mycroft on his arm, the place was already full of flowers. Although such outdoor activities have a fixed dress code, the hats of the girls are a beautiful scenery.
Qiao Qiao's appearance still attracted a lot of attention, because she is a big beauty.With a bright and beautiful appearance and an elegant temperament, even among the famous ladies, Qiao Qiao is definitely the most eye-catching one.
Most of the people present had never seen Jojo, but they were familiar with McCaw.He can easily deduce Jojo's identity.
"I think these eyes are about to roast me." Jojo leaned slightly towards Mycroft and whispered in his ear.
"Honey, trust me. Most of the men here would want to fight me to the death if they could." Mycroft leaned close to JoJo, protecting her from the cold wind.
"Mr. Holmes!"
"Lord Eli Foster."
"It's really rare to see you appearing on such an occasion." This Lord Eli Foster was of average appearance, and he should be accompanied by his wife.
"The queen's invitation," Mycroft bowed slightly, and then looked at Jojo: "This is my fiancée, Miss Lydia Bennett."
"It is an honor to meet you, Miss Bennet. This is my wife."
"Good day, Lord and Lady Ellie Foster."
Looking at the lady's appearance, Qiao Qiao knew that she was another proud noble lady.
But she doesn't care, the pursuit is different, and there is no need for deep friendship if the three views are not compatible.
McCoff obviously also saw this situation, and he directly ended the pleasantries with Lord Eli Foster.Regardless of Lord Eli Foster's expression, he took Jojo away directly.
"Her Majesty is here."
Hearing this voice, all the people stood on both sides to welcome the arrival of the Queen.
Queen Victoria and Prince Albert appeared together, the first time the couple have attended an event together since Prince Albert recovered.
"Miss Bennet." Jojo didn't expect the queen to stop in front of her.
"His Majesty."
"Maybe you'd like to watch the game with me."
"My pleasure."
Qiao Qiao felt that she was going to be in the limelight this time, but at least she was the wife of a marshal and inspected the army.Qiao Qiao followed the queen and walked inside with her.
"Mr. Holmes, you have a wonderful fiancee, not only saved my life, Leopold is also much better now."
"It is God bless His Highness and His Royal Highness Prince Leopold."
Prince Albert also invited Mycroft to join him.
Although Jojo had no interest in standing by the river and watching boating in the cold, she got along well with the queen.Women, beauty is always the theme.The queen is not young anymore, and she has given birth to so many children in succession.No matter how much money is spent on maintenance, the body and appearance will not be young anymore.
Qiao Qiao talked about a few methods of daily maintenance, not only the queen, but also some ladies around her listened very seriously.
In the end, it was not until the results of the competition came out that many ladies who were immersed in the beauty and health care class came back to their senses.
"Mr. Holmes, Miss Bennet is really eloquent." Even he was a little fascinated by it. This serious illness made him pay more attention to health care.
"Your Highness has won the prize."
Of course, the end of the game does not mean the end of the event. There will be a grand royal dinner in the evening, which can be regarded as the first royal dinner of this year's social season.
It is a great honor to be able to participate in the royal dinner, and dressing up is naturally indispensable.
"Honey, you are so beautiful like this." Mycroft looked at his fiancée who was slowly coming down from upstairs.I was stunned for a while.
"Of course I can't embarrass my Mr. Holmes." The ball is a battlefield for women. Even if Jojo doesn't care about his own face, he must also take care of the face of Mycroft and the Holmes family.
She really understands things between women.Her family background is not high, and she has been married once. Now that she has such a good husband and the Queen's favor, I don't know how many noble ladies envy and hate her.
People will definitely make trouble for this dance, and if they can't suppress their arrogance this time, then I'm afraid they really won't have a peaceful life in the future.
The ballroom at Buckingham Palace was resplendent, and there were already many people there when Jojo and Mycroft arrived.
McCoff naturally has people he has to socialize with.
Qiao Qiao signaled him not to worry, no one paid attention to her, and she rested leisurely on the side.He took out a glass of red wine from the waiter's tray and tasted it slowly.There is no tension and bewilderment of attending a royal banquet for the first time.
"Miss Bennet!"
"Lord Ellie Foster." Jojo bowed politely.
"Anna, who is this?" A very artificial female voice made Jojo shiver.
"Miss Trumps, please call me Lady Ellie Foster."
"Edward and Lord Eli Foster are friends, and he wants me to maintain a friendly relationship with you."
Qiao Qiao took a look at Miss Trumps, she was indeed very beautiful, no wonder there was a scandal.It was still brought to such a formal occasion.
This Miss Trumps is presumably the mistress of the Prince of Wales.The scandal between them has been raging, and it was originally thought that the Prince of Wales would not bring her to a formal occasion for the sake of reputation.At least not in front of the Queen.
Who would have thought that this young lady would appear here.It seems that the Prince of Wales is very obsessed with her.
Mycroft seems to have said that the relationship between this Lady Eli Foster and the Prince of Wales is not clean.And Lord Eli Foster was well aware of this matter.
In the West, it seems that there are quite a few people who rely on their wives to be the mistresses of the royal family.Even many men feel that this is taking advantage of it.
Qiao Qiao can only say one thing, you really know how to play.
"Miss Bennet, I heard that you came back from America not long ago. Did you go to America with your father?"
Lady Ellie Foster ignored Miss Trumps and ignored her words.
Here it comes, Jojo thought.
"That's not true, I went to America with my ex-husband." Qiao Qiao smiled.
"Oh, Miss Bennet, have you ever been married? What a disgrace, you know I heard Mr. Holmes call you Miss and thought you..."
"It doesn't matter, Mycroft likes to call me that, it's probably just a man's boring possessiveness." My fiancé doesn't even want me to take another man's surname, but your husband will give you to the boss To win the future.
Jojo's face was full of happiness and embarrassment. Seeing that the expression on Lady Ellie Foster's face was not very good-looking, she felt comfortable.
The one who flirts first is cheap, since you made the first move, don't blame me.
"Mr. Holmes is so kind to you. Edward doesn't like me as an actor very much. But I like him so I support him." This Miss Trumps is also a small expert in making up.
As expected of an actor, her acting skills are really good. How much sincerity can a scumbag like the Prince of Wales have, but this lady's expression makes people feel that she is deeply loved.
Life is like a play, all depends on acting skills.
Finally the proud lady could not bear the run on, turned and left.
"Margaret Trumps, hello."
"Lydia Bennett, hello."
The two women looked at each other and smiled.
Jojo chatted with this Miss Margaret Trumps for a while, and found that the other party was a very smart woman.For a man like the Prince of Wales, he has a very thorough understanding.
Margaret Trumps' goal is very clear, that is, to get the fame and fortune she wants from the Prince of Wales.
Jojo believes that if one day Margaret Trumps wants to leave the Prince of Wales, she has many ways to get out unscathed.
"Lydia."
"Mycroft."
Jojo saw Mycroft coming to her, and nodded to Miss Trumps.Walk towards Mycroft.
"I'll take you to meet some people."
"it is good."
Qiao Qiao is familiar with this kind of communication, and a few words of chat can make a good impression on the other party. She has been professionally trained to speak in social situations.
"Honey, you always surprise me all the time." The more McCoff got to know his fiancée, the more suitable they felt for each other.
After dancing with Prince Albert at the banquet, the queen didn't stay long before leaving.Of course it was the Prince of Wales who presided over the scene.
"Beautiful lady, do you have the honor to ask you to dance the next dance?"
Qiao Qiao looked at the Merry Crown Prince who appeared in front of him.He narrowed his eyes and pulled out a smile.
"Of course, Your Highness."
"Miss, your beauty really breaks the hearts of all gentlemen."
"Your Highness, what you said really hurt me. In my opinion, Miss Trump's beauty is not inferior to mine. Every lady has her own most beautiful place. There is no shortage of beauty in the world, only the lack of people who discover beauty Eye."
"You're right, Miss Bennett. Thank you for saving my father last time. I haven't thanked you yet."
"It is my honor to be able to share worries for His Majesty."
"I don't know if Miss Bennet is free. There will be a wonderful Shakespeare play at the Royal Theater tomorrow..."
"Thank you for your invitation, Your Highness. It's just that Mycroft and I have an appointment. You know, it's the fifth anniversary of our acquaintance."
"Really, have you known Mr. Holmes for so long?" The happy expression on the Prince of Wales' face subsided.
"Yeah, we met on the ship going to the United States. This is probably the fate arranged by God. Your Highness, Miss Trumps seems to be looking for you again." Just as a dance was over, Jojo immediately dispersed the girl. The crown prince's attention, politely said goodbye and left.
"It seems that I need to do some more work for the Prince of Wales. My dear, how about visiting India?" Mycroft squinted at the crown prince who was among the women.
"This is really a good idea, maybe the United States is also good." Jojo was also annoyed at the Prince of Wales who was looking at her obsessively.
"The fiancée that the Queen has chosen for the Prince of Wales is Princess Alexandra of Denmark. This marriage has been postponed because of the refusal of the Prince of Wales. I think it is time for His Royal Highness to fulfill the engagement."
"Although I don't think marriage has any binding force on His Highness, it's true that you can't break your promise."
For the rest of the prom, JoJo stayed with McCoff.When it was time to leave the ball, the two went back directly.
"It's not necessary, I won't go to these balls again, it's really boring." The first thing Jojo did when he got home was to free himself from the complicated dress.
She was really relieved to put on comfortable home clothes.
"This is your first year at the social season in London, and some dances are inevitable." Mycroft also loosened some of his ties, and to be honest, he didn't like it either. meaning social.
But the difference between him and Sherlock is that they don't like these things, but Mycroft won't show it, he will let himself blend in.
Jojo naturally also knew that the Holmes couple had already semi-retired, Sherlock could not count on it, and many things needed to be maintained by Mycroft.
Fortunately, the purpose of most of these dances is for unmarried men and women to find their other half. After marriage, the ladies will be more casual about attending or not.
In the next few days, Jojo and McCaw attended some important social occasions.Soon, Jojo made a name for himself in the upper class.After solving some minor troubles in the body or appearance of distinguished ladies.
The result of this is that the invitation letter to invite Jojo floated on her desk like snowflakes, but she didn't need to attend most of the invitations.
He maintained his own style very well, making being able to invite her a thing worth showing off for the host of the banquet.
Compared to going to various banquets, Qiao Qiao chose to go to the palace to talk to the queen.Queen Victoria was able to rule Britain for such a long time and was loved by the British people. She was naturally a wise lady.
The two can talk together.
It was June, the weather was much warmer, and Jojo also received a letter from Longborn.The Bennets, Catherine and Jane's family will all be in London.
The Bennets and Catherine lived with Jojo, while Mr. Bingley and the others were going to live at Darcy's.
Qiao Qiao also accepted her as the second brother-in-law. Before getting married, she took her younger sister to live in Darcy's house, and after getting married, she took her wife and children to live in Darcy's house.
Darcy is really a good friend who is once in a million years.
"Dad, Mom."
"Mr. Bennett, Mrs. Bennett."
"Lydia, mother's baby, mother misses you so much." Mrs. Bennet is always very enthusiastic about her favorite daughter.
"Mom, I miss you too. Come in. Jane, you look better."
"Thanks to the pills you gave me, they are really amazing, Lydia, you don't know how surprised I am."
A group of people walked into the house, and Mrs. Bennet was amazed when she saw the large and luxuriously decorated house.
It was hard to believe that such a nice house belonged to her little daughter.
"My God, this is so beautiful. Lydia darling, this is really your house."
"Of course, Mom. May I ask Catherine to accompany you to your room to rest for a while?" Jojo asked Catherine to accompany Mrs. Bennet.The room is already ready.
Betty has already prepared tea and snacks for the guests.
Lydia asked the maid to watch several children.
"dad."
"Lydia, I am surprised by your growth. I am also surprised by the succession of Longborn this time." Mr. Bennet was also shocked by the series of operations performed by his youngest daughter.
"Father doesn't blame me for making the decision without permission." It is true that Mr. Bennett was not informed about the matter of Longborn's inheritance this time before making a decision.
"Of course I won't blame you. It's a great thing for me to let Jane's child inherit Longbourne." There is a world of difference between a grandson and a distant nephew who has a bad relationship.Mr. Bennet regretted that he didn't pay too much attention to the property.
"Lydia, this was originally your credit. You should leave Longborn to your children." Jane was a little uneasy about such a gift.
"Yes, Lydia, we didn't do anything." Mr. Bingley was also very embarrassed.
"Give it to Jane. She is the eldest sister. It's just that the rights and obligations are equal. In the future, Jane and Mr. Bingley must have more support obligations to their parents." Qiao Qiao said.
"Of course, that's what we were supposed to do."
"That's good."
Mycroft looked at the conversation that was completely controlled by Lydia, and it turned out that Lydia was the only smart person in the Bennett family.
Now that the people have arrived, Qiao Qiao began to arrange their etiquette study intensively.My teacher, Mycroft, has already been invited.
The Bennets probably only had the chance to meet the Queen this time.So make a surprise attack and don't make any big mistakes.But Catherine, she will often attend some balls in the future, and she still needs to learn about etiquette.
This meeting with the Queen was very face-saving, and besides meeting the Bennets alone, he also gave Mr. Bennet a knight title.Although it cannot be passed on, it has also improved the status of the Bennett family a lot.
Regardless of the impact on other people, the impact on Catherine is quite large anyway.
The Bennets are getting older, so naturally they won't attend too many dances, and Mr. Bennet doesn't want to attend any of them.But Mrs. Bennet obviously disagreed.She took Mr. Bennet to several balls she was curious about.
Although ignored most of the time, Mrs. Bennet is also very satisfied.
JoJo and Elizabeth are on a mission to take Catherine to some prom that suits her.Elizabeth had given birth to a girl not long ago, and since there was already an heir, the sex of the child was not important.
The husband and wife are very happy, because the child is very healthy.This made Elizabeth very grateful to Jojo.
Originally, Jojo thought that Elizabeth would always have to rest for a while after giving birth, but it turned out that there is no such tradition as confinement in the West. After a few days of rest after giving birth, she was revived with full blood.
Of course, she didn't have that need, and Qiao Qiao couldn't tie her to the bed, so she had to specially prepare some pills suitable for postpartum use for Elizabeth.Got a lot of thanks.
Because Elizabeth likes to attend such balls, Jojo gave most of the tasks to Elizabeth.Jane didn't go to these dances because she had to take care of her parents and children.
Today, Jane and Jojo are making some snacks for children.Adults dare not eat anything outside these days, and children dare not let them touch it at all.
So after Jane saw some homemade snacks at Jojo's house, she wanted to learn from Jojo some snacks suitable for children, so that she could make them at home.
It was naturally impossible for Qiao Qiao to refuse such a request, so the two struggled in the kitchen all afternoon.
"Lizzie? Why did you come back so early today?" Jojo was a little surprised when he saw the two of them taking off their coats with the help of the maid.
"Lydia, is Jane there? My God, we encountered an unimaginable thing today." Elizabeth's tone was astonished, as if something huge had happened.
"Lizzie, what's the matter?" Jane came out with the prepared snacks and prepared to pack them up.
"Jane, do you know what's going on with Mr. Bingley's sister?"
"Caroline? What's wrong with her? After she married Mr. Brummel, she lost a lot of contact with her family." At the beginning, Caroline was always dissatisfied that Charles married her, and Lizzie always wanted to marry her. Married Darcy.
The relationship between them was not good. Later, Caroline got to know Mr. Brummel and heard that Mr. Brummel's family had a lot of assets.Although he was just a businessman, he has read a lot of books.
Caroline likes it, and Charles will naturally not stop her.
After the two married, they moved to Mr. Brummell's hometown.
"We saw her at the Countess of Stirling's ball, do you know who she's getting intimate with?"
"Who? Mr. Brummell?"
"No, it's not. It's the Prince of Wales."
"Pfft, cough cough..." Qiao Qiao was frightened by the gossip.
Caroline Bentley and the Prince of Wales?
Was she trying to say that Caroline Bingley was capable, or that the Prince of Wales was low-minded.
"Well, how could Caroline be with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince..." Jane couldn't react, the whole of Britain knew about their Royal Highness the Crown Prince's affair.
"Maybe we just met." Qiao Qiao didn't quite believe what she said.But it's better for them to avoid such things.
Caroline Bentley had nothing to do with them, and her own husband said nothing.They have no position to say anything.
"Jane, talk to Mr. Bingley when you go back. Miss Caroline is already married. Even Mr. Bingley can't control her anymore. And based on what I know about the Prince of Wales, Caroline is just a few The sky is fresh. At that time, if you manage too much, you will be blamed."
"I know."
After seeing off Jane, who was in a daze, Elizabeth told Jojo some gossip about what happened at the ball.Of course, the most talked about is Caroline Brummel.
Qiao Qiao was forced to fill his head with gossip.
On the eve of the end of the social season, Catherine finally met her true soulmate, the second son of a viscount. Although he was the second son, he had some property of his own and an annual income of [-] pounds.He has a good relationship with his brother and is humorous.It can be said to be a very good marriage.
Mrs. Bennet almost fainted with joy.She couldn't wait to get back to Longbourn to advertise her daughter's marriage and live every day in London.
Similarly, Jojo also learned about Caroline Brummel's ending from Elizabeth. Sure enough, the social season was not over yet, and Caroline was dumped by the crown prince.
It is said that she came to London privately from her family. The Brummel family is a very old-fashioned family.After Caroline married in, she was rejected by the elders of Brummel's family.
Especially her mother-in-law, originally wanted her son to marry a daughter of a squire or even an aristocrat, but ended up marrying a girl from a merchant family.
Yes, according to British class divisions, the Bentleys were businessmen.The Bennet family is a squire, and it is definitely a low marriage for Jane to marry Bingley.
Caroline Bingley was not the kind of person who could bear such grievances. She had been favored by Bingley's family since she was a child. Later, her parents passed away, and her brother was also obedient to her, and said nothing at home.
The bad-tempered Caroline naturally had frequent conflicts with the Brummel family.This time Mrs. Brummell did not allow her to come to London to participate in the social season, which directly ignited the conflict.
So Caroline came to London alone, and met the Prince of Wales at an unknown ball.
Now that the matter is known to the Brummel family, the Brummel family is now in trouble.
Divorce is impossible in this day and age.How to solve it is enough for Mr. Bingley to have a headache.
"It is said that the Brummel family will send people to Bethlehem on the grounds that Caroline is mentally ill."
"This is too much." Jojo frowned. Bethlehem is the oldest mental hospital in Britain, and the horror inside it is comparable to a concentration camp.
How can this Brummel family make people feel so dark, it's too cold-blooded.
"Mr. Bingley naturally disagrees, and now Caroline has been sent to the countryside." Elizabeth didn't know whether she should sympathize with Caroline now.
"No matter what, as long as it doesn't affect Jane."
"Yes."
Because Mrs. Bennet was eager to go back to Longbourn, Jojo had to arrange for them to go back.Bingley had to deal with the affairs of the Brummel family, and Jane took the child and parents back to Longborn.

It can be seen that Mycroft looks more like his father, while Sherlock looks more like Mrs. Holmes.
"Oh, you are so beautiful, my dear, may I call you Lydia?" Mrs. Holmes is obviously a warm and lovely lady.
"Of course, ma'am."
"Honey, you can call me Erin."
"My pleasure, Irene." Jojo and Mrs. Holmes had a cordial conversation.
"Sherlock, long time no see."
"It's really hard to believe that one day I will meet McCoff's fiancée with my parents. This is really a waste of time. I still have a very important experiment to complete."
Compared with the polite Holmes and his wife, Sherlock didn't consider himself an outsider at all. After greeting Jojo directly, he sat down on the sofa carelessly.
"Oh! Xiali, what have you experienced in London in the past few years, do you need me to hire you an etiquette teacher again?" Mrs. Holmes saw her youngest son's faux pas, and she simply wanted to remake him.
"Mom, I have a few etiquette teachers who specialize in serving the royal family that I can recommend to you." Mycroft smirked on the sidelines.
Qiao Qiao secretly twisted Mycroft, this is not the time for falling in love and killing each other.
"Irene, it's nothing, Sherlock and I are also good friends." So she can still tolerate bear children and so on.
"Sherlock, I thought you would like the dish I delivered to you that time. I also prepared it today. If you think it's a waste of time, then I'm sorry." So if you want to eat delicious food, sit down obediently ,Shut up.
Looking at the bear boy who had calmed down, Jojo breathed a sigh of relief. She always felt that Sherlock was not Mycroft's younger brother, but her younger brother. To coax him, both sweet dates and big sticks were indispensable.
Jojo asked Betty to serve tea and snacks to the guests.Prepare yourself to help out in the kitchen.
"It's rare to see you so obedient, Charlie." Mycroft smirked.
"Mycroft, I think you should play a game of chess with Mr. Holmes." Jojo turned around, knowing that Sherlock was a brat, and he still teased him from time to time, what a hobby.
Seeing Mycroft obediently getting up to get his things, Mrs. Holmes and Mr. Holmes exchanged glances. This girl was able to suppress the two brothers.
[This child must be married back home! 】—Mrs. Holmes.
【Aren't you already engaged to McCoff? 】—Mr. Holmes.
[The wedding date hasn't been set yet. 】—Mrs. Holmes.
[Trust Mycroft. 】—Mr. Holmes.
[No, you have to be kinder later, you know, if you scare away your daughter-in-law, you don't have to go back with me. 】—Mrs. Holmes.
【…】—Mr. Holmes.
After a meal, the four Holmes ate to their hearts' content, and Mrs. Holmes praised her repeatedly. Even Mr. Holmes, who looked a little serious, had a much more cordial attitude.
While Qiaoqiao breathed a sigh of relief, he also lamented the charm of food.
When sending Holmes and his wife away, Sherlock also took away a large box of jerky that she made a few days ago.He loves this snack so much.
What can Qiao Qiao say about this behavior of eating and taking all at once, the only thing he can say is not to eat too much at once.
"My dear, you are so kind to Sherlock." It's almost like raising a son.Think about it, if the two of them have children in the future, if they are like Sherlock, he will definitely lose many years of life.
Looking at the obviously jealous fiance Qiao Qiao smiled and kissed him on the face.
"Honey, the reason I'm so kind to Sherlock is because he's your brother."
In the next few days, Mrs. Holmes would invite Jojo to listen to her favorite Shakespeare from time to time.After spending time with them once, Mycroft didn't want to go again.
Qiao Qiao doesn't force it either. Individuals have their own preferences, and there is no need to force others to like what they like, even if they are husband and wife, and their relatives are the same.
"My dear, you are such a considerate girl."
Everyone can see that Mrs. Holmes is satisfied with Jojo.In the process of getting along, it has been mentioned more than once whether they have set a wedding date.For questions like this, Jojo pushed them to McCoff.She's a total bum and can take any time.
Anyway, meeting the parents this time was very smooth. After Mr. Holmes finished his business, the couple were ready to leave.No way, no matter how many Shakespeare operas there are in London, it can't change its uncomfortable environment.
"How about it, this time we meet." Elizabeth puffed out her stomach, drinking milk.I am concerned about the situation when my sister meets her parents for the first time.
"Everything is going well, and Mr. and Mrs. Holmes are not difficult people to get along with."
"That would be wonderful." Both Darcy's and Bentley's parents had died young.Neither she nor Jane has experience in this area.
"I have written to my father and mother about the Longbourne succession. When my father is well, he should come to London."
"I've also written to tell Jane that they should come with Dad."
Qiao Qiao nodded. It seems that this year's London social season, their family will be reunited in London.
"Father's injury should be almost healed. When they come over, I will ask a teacher to teach the etiquette to meet the Queen. Anyway, their family shows their faces in the whole of London's high society, so they can't be looked down upon by others."
"That's exactly what I want to say. Originally, I wanted William to look for it, but with McCoff around, we don't need to do anything extra."
"Now I really want to see what kind of expression Mr. Collins will have when he gets the good news." Elizabeth laughed narrowly.
"Oh dear, you said something I wanted to know too."
The two sisters looked at each other and smiled, waiting to see a good show.
"Lizzie, when is your due date?"
"About mid-May, William and I have already discussed that this time the production will be in London." The month was small before, so we could rush some way, but now it is not a wise choice to rush back to Longborn or Pemberley.
"Well, Lizzie, I have some spices here. You can light them in your room when you go back. It's good for you and the baby." Jojo checked Elizabeth's pulse, just like Jane, because the two births were separated The time is too close.The body is already overloaded.
"Thank you, Lydia, thank you so much. This pregnancy also feels a lot harder than the last one." My body knows that Elizabeth can feel powerless in many cases.This is why she can't control her emotions sometimes.
If you are physically uncomfortable, your temper will naturally not be good, let alone a pregnant woman.
"Take care of yourself, Lizzie."
"Oxford-Cambridge Regatta?"
"Yes, because the Prince of Wales is in Cambridge, and this time he is also attending, the Queen will be here in person. This is an invitation letter that the Queen asked me to bring to you."
"Oh," Qiao Qiao accepted the exquisite invitation letter, since it was like this, she had to attend.
It is said that this Oxford-Cambridge Rowing Race marks the beginning of the social season in London. This time, the Prince of Wales will join and the Queen will be here in person. I am afraid it will be much more lively than before.
The weather outside is still quite cold, and the wind is even more biting when we go to the water's edge.
On the day of the game, the weather is beautiful.The light rain of the past few days stopped today.The rare sunshine just made Qiao Qiao feel much better after going out.
The best place to watch the game is on the towpath on both sides of the Putney Bridge.You can see the whole race here.
When Qiaoqiao arrived at the destination with Mycroft on his arm, the place was already full of flowers. Although such outdoor activities have a fixed dress code, the hats of the girls are a beautiful scenery.
Qiao Qiao's appearance still attracted a lot of attention, because she is a big beauty.With a bright and beautiful appearance and an elegant temperament, even among the famous ladies, Qiao Qiao is definitely the most eye-catching one.
Most of the people present had never seen Jojo, but they were familiar with McCaw.He can easily deduce Jojo's identity.
"I think these eyes are about to roast me." Jojo leaned slightly towards Mycroft and whispered in his ear.
"Honey, trust me. Most of the men here would want to fight me to the death if they could." Mycroft leaned close to JoJo, protecting her from the cold wind.
"Mr. Holmes!"
"Lord Eli Foster."
"It's really rare to see you appearing on such an occasion." This Lord Eli Foster was of average appearance, and he should be accompanied by his wife.
"The queen's invitation," Mycroft bowed slightly, and then looked at Jojo: "This is my fiancée, Miss Lydia Bennett."
"It is an honor to meet you, Miss Bennet. This is my wife."
"Good day, Lord and Lady Ellie Foster."
Looking at the lady's appearance, Qiao Qiao knew that she was another proud noble lady.
But she doesn't care, the pursuit is different, and there is no need for deep friendship if the three views are not compatible.
McCoff obviously also saw this situation, and he directly ended the pleasantries with Lord Eli Foster.Regardless of Lord Eli Foster's expression, he took Jojo away directly.
"Her Majesty is here."
Hearing this voice, all the people stood on both sides to welcome the arrival of the Queen.
Queen Victoria and Prince Albert appeared together, the first time the couple have attended an event together since Prince Albert recovered.
"Miss Bennet." Jojo didn't expect the queen to stop in front of her.
"His Majesty."
"Maybe you'd like to watch the game with me."
"My pleasure."
Qiao Qiao felt that she was going to be in the limelight this time, but at least she was the wife of a marshal and inspected the army.Qiao Qiao followed the queen and walked inside with her.
"Mr. Holmes, you have a wonderful fiancee, not only saved my life, Leopold is also much better now."
"It is God bless His Highness and His Royal Highness Prince Leopold."
Prince Albert also invited Mycroft to join him.
Although Jojo had no interest in standing by the river and watching boating in the cold, she got along well with the queen.Women, beauty is always the theme.The queen is not young anymore, and she has given birth to so many children in succession.No matter how much money is spent on maintenance, the body and appearance will not be young anymore.
Qiao Qiao talked about a few methods of daily maintenance, not only the queen, but also some ladies around her listened very seriously.
In the end, it was not until the results of the competition came out that many ladies who were immersed in the beauty and health care class came back to their senses.
"Mr. Holmes, Miss Bennet is really eloquent." Even he was a little fascinated by it. This serious illness made him pay more attention to health care.
"Your Highness has won the prize."
Of course, the end of the game does not mean the end of the event. There will be a grand royal dinner in the evening, which can be regarded as the first royal dinner of this year's social season.
It is a great honor to be able to participate in the royal dinner, and dressing up is naturally indispensable.
"Honey, you are so beautiful like this." Mycroft looked at his fiancée who was slowly coming down from upstairs.I was stunned for a while.
"Of course I can't embarrass my Mr. Holmes." The ball is a battlefield for women. Even if Jojo doesn't care about his own face, he must also take care of the face of Mycroft and the Holmes family.
She really understands things between women.Her family background is not high, and she has been married once. Now that she has such a good husband and the Queen's favor, I don't know how many noble ladies envy and hate her.
People will definitely make trouble for this dance, and if they can't suppress their arrogance this time, then I'm afraid they really won't have a peaceful life in the future.
The ballroom at Buckingham Palace was resplendent, and there were already many people there when Jojo and Mycroft arrived.
McCoff naturally has people he has to socialize with.
Qiao Qiao signaled him not to worry, no one paid attention to her, and she rested leisurely on the side.He took out a glass of red wine from the waiter's tray and tasted it slowly.There is no tension and bewilderment of attending a royal banquet for the first time.
"Miss Bennet!"
"Lord Ellie Foster." Jojo bowed politely.
"Anna, who is this?" A very artificial female voice made Jojo shiver.
"Miss Trumps, please call me Lady Ellie Foster."
"Edward and Lord Eli Foster are friends, and he wants me to maintain a friendly relationship with you."
Qiao Qiao took a look at Miss Trumps, she was indeed very beautiful, no wonder there was a scandal.It was still brought to such a formal occasion.
This Miss Trumps is presumably the mistress of the Prince of Wales.The scandal between them has been raging, and it was originally thought that the Prince of Wales would not bring her to a formal occasion for the sake of reputation.At least not in front of the Queen.
Who would have thought that this young lady would appear here.It seems that the Prince of Wales is very obsessed with her.
Mycroft seems to have said that the relationship between this Lady Eli Foster and the Prince of Wales is not clean.And Lord Eli Foster was well aware of this matter.
In the West, it seems that there are quite a few people who rely on their wives to be the mistresses of the royal family.Even many men feel that this is taking advantage of it.
Qiao Qiao can only say one thing, you really know how to play.
"Miss Bennet, I heard that you came back from America not long ago. Did you go to America with your father?"
Lady Ellie Foster ignored Miss Trumps and ignored her words.
Here it comes, Jojo thought.
"That's not true, I went to America with my ex-husband." Qiao Qiao smiled.
"Oh, Miss Bennet, have you ever been married? What a disgrace, you know I heard Mr. Holmes call you Miss and thought you..."
"It doesn't matter, Mycroft likes to call me that, it's probably just a man's boring possessiveness." My fiancé doesn't even want me to take another man's surname, but your husband will give you to the boss To win the future.
Jojo's face was full of happiness and embarrassment. Seeing that the expression on Lady Ellie Foster's face was not very good-looking, she felt comfortable.
The one who flirts first is cheap, since you made the first move, don't blame me.
"Mr. Holmes is so kind to you. Edward doesn't like me as an actor very much. But I like him so I support him." This Miss Trumps is also a small expert in making up.
As expected of an actor, her acting skills are really good. How much sincerity can a scumbag like the Prince of Wales have, but this lady's expression makes people feel that she is deeply loved.
Life is like a play, all depends on acting skills.
Finally the proud lady could not bear the run on, turned and left.
"Margaret Trumps, hello."
"Lydia Bennett, hello."
The two women looked at each other and smiled.
Jojo chatted with this Miss Margaret Trumps for a while, and found that the other party was a very smart woman.For a man like the Prince of Wales, he has a very thorough understanding.
Margaret Trumps' goal is very clear, that is, to get the fame and fortune she wants from the Prince of Wales.
Jojo believes that if one day Margaret Trumps wants to leave the Prince of Wales, she has many ways to get out unscathed.
"Lydia."
"Mycroft."
Jojo saw Mycroft coming to her, and nodded to Miss Trumps.Walk towards Mycroft.
"I'll take you to meet some people."
"it is good."
Qiao Qiao is familiar with this kind of communication, and a few words of chat can make a good impression on the other party. She has been professionally trained to speak in social situations.
"Honey, you always surprise me all the time." The more McCoff got to know his fiancée, the more suitable they felt for each other.
After dancing with Prince Albert at the banquet, the queen didn't stay long before leaving.Of course it was the Prince of Wales who presided over the scene.
"Beautiful lady, do you have the honor to ask you to dance the next dance?"
Qiao Qiao looked at the Merry Crown Prince who appeared in front of him.He narrowed his eyes and pulled out a smile.
"Of course, Your Highness."
"Miss, your beauty really breaks the hearts of all gentlemen."
"Your Highness, what you said really hurt me. In my opinion, Miss Trump's beauty is not inferior to mine. Every lady has her own most beautiful place. There is no shortage of beauty in the world, only the lack of people who discover beauty Eye."
"You're right, Miss Bennett. Thank you for saving my father last time. I haven't thanked you yet."
"It is my honor to be able to share worries for His Majesty."
"I don't know if Miss Bennet is free. There will be a wonderful Shakespeare play at the Royal Theater tomorrow..."
"Thank you for your invitation, Your Highness. It's just that Mycroft and I have an appointment. You know, it's the fifth anniversary of our acquaintance."
"Really, have you known Mr. Holmes for so long?" The happy expression on the Prince of Wales' face subsided.
"Yeah, we met on the ship going to the United States. This is probably the fate arranged by God. Your Highness, Miss Trumps seems to be looking for you again." Just as a dance was over, Jojo immediately dispersed the girl. The crown prince's attention, politely said goodbye and left.
"It seems that I need to do some more work for the Prince of Wales. My dear, how about visiting India?" Mycroft squinted at the crown prince who was among the women.
"This is really a good idea, maybe the United States is also good." Jojo was also annoyed at the Prince of Wales who was looking at her obsessively.
"The fiancée that the Queen has chosen for the Prince of Wales is Princess Alexandra of Denmark. This marriage has been postponed because of the refusal of the Prince of Wales. I think it is time for His Royal Highness to fulfill the engagement."
"Although I don't think marriage has any binding force on His Highness, it's true that you can't break your promise."
For the rest of the prom, JoJo stayed with McCoff.When it was time to leave the ball, the two went back directly.
"It's not necessary, I won't go to these balls again, it's really boring." The first thing Jojo did when he got home was to free himself from the complicated dress.
She was really relieved to put on comfortable home clothes.
"This is your first year at the social season in London, and some dances are inevitable." Mycroft also loosened some of his ties, and to be honest, he didn't like it either. meaning social.
But the difference between him and Sherlock is that they don't like these things, but Mycroft won't show it, he will let himself blend in.
Jojo naturally also knew that the Holmes couple had already semi-retired, Sherlock could not count on it, and many things needed to be maintained by Mycroft.
Fortunately, the purpose of most of these dances is for unmarried men and women to find their other half. After marriage, the ladies will be more casual about attending or not.
In the next few days, Jojo and McCaw attended some important social occasions.Soon, Jojo made a name for himself in the upper class.After solving some minor troubles in the body or appearance of distinguished ladies.
The result of this is that the invitation letter to invite Jojo floated on her desk like snowflakes, but she didn't need to attend most of the invitations.
He maintained his own style very well, making being able to invite her a thing worth showing off for the host of the banquet.
Compared to going to various banquets, Qiao Qiao chose to go to the palace to talk to the queen.Queen Victoria was able to rule Britain for such a long time and was loved by the British people. She was naturally a wise lady.
The two can talk together.
It was June, the weather was much warmer, and Jojo also received a letter from Longborn.The Bennets, Catherine and Jane's family will all be in London.
The Bennets and Catherine lived with Jojo, while Mr. Bingley and the others were going to live at Darcy's.
Qiao Qiao also accepted her as the second brother-in-law. Before getting married, she took her younger sister to live in Darcy's house, and after getting married, she took her wife and children to live in Darcy's house.
Darcy is really a good friend who is once in a million years.
"Dad, Mom."
"Mr. Bennett, Mrs. Bennett."
"Lydia, mother's baby, mother misses you so much." Mrs. Bennet is always very enthusiastic about her favorite daughter.
"Mom, I miss you too. Come in. Jane, you look better."
"Thanks to the pills you gave me, they are really amazing, Lydia, you don't know how surprised I am."
A group of people walked into the house, and Mrs. Bennet was amazed when she saw the large and luxuriously decorated house.
It was hard to believe that such a nice house belonged to her little daughter.
"My God, this is so beautiful. Lydia darling, this is really your house."
"Of course, Mom. May I ask Catherine to accompany you to your room to rest for a while?" Jojo asked Catherine to accompany Mrs. Bennet.The room is already ready.
Betty has already prepared tea and snacks for the guests.
Lydia asked the maid to watch several children.
"dad."
"Lydia, I am surprised by your growth. I am also surprised by the succession of Longborn this time." Mr. Bennet was also shocked by the series of operations performed by his youngest daughter.
"Father doesn't blame me for making the decision without permission." It is true that Mr. Bennett was not informed about the matter of Longborn's inheritance this time before making a decision.
"Of course I won't blame you. It's a great thing for me to let Jane's child inherit Longbourne." There is a world of difference between a grandson and a distant nephew who has a bad relationship.Mr. Bennet regretted that he didn't pay too much attention to the property.
"Lydia, this was originally your credit. You should leave Longborn to your children." Jane was a little uneasy about such a gift.
"Yes, Lydia, we didn't do anything." Mr. Bingley was also very embarrassed.
"Give it to Jane. She is the eldest sister. It's just that the rights and obligations are equal. In the future, Jane and Mr. Bingley must have more support obligations to their parents." Qiao Qiao said.
"Of course, that's what we were supposed to do."
"That's good."
Mycroft looked at the conversation that was completely controlled by Lydia, and it turned out that Lydia was the only smart person in the Bennett family.
Now that the people have arrived, Qiao Qiao began to arrange their etiquette study intensively.My teacher, Mycroft, has already been invited.
The Bennets probably only had the chance to meet the Queen this time.So make a surprise attack and don't make any big mistakes.But Catherine, she will often attend some balls in the future, and she still needs to learn about etiquette.
This meeting with the Queen was very face-saving, and besides meeting the Bennets alone, he also gave Mr. Bennet a knight title.Although it cannot be passed on, it has also improved the status of the Bennett family a lot.
Regardless of the impact on other people, the impact on Catherine is quite large anyway.
The Bennets are getting older, so naturally they won't attend too many dances, and Mr. Bennet doesn't want to attend any of them.But Mrs. Bennet obviously disagreed.She took Mr. Bennet to several balls she was curious about.
Although ignored most of the time, Mrs. Bennet is also very satisfied.
JoJo and Elizabeth are on a mission to take Catherine to some prom that suits her.Elizabeth had given birth to a girl not long ago, and since there was already an heir, the sex of the child was not important.
The husband and wife are very happy, because the child is very healthy.This made Elizabeth very grateful to Jojo.
Originally, Jojo thought that Elizabeth would always have to rest for a while after giving birth, but it turned out that there is no such tradition as confinement in the West. After a few days of rest after giving birth, she was revived with full blood.
Of course, she didn't have that need, and Qiao Qiao couldn't tie her to the bed, so she had to specially prepare some pills suitable for postpartum use for Elizabeth.Got a lot of thanks.
Because Elizabeth likes to attend such balls, Jojo gave most of the tasks to Elizabeth.Jane didn't go to these dances because she had to take care of her parents and children.
Today, Jane and Jojo are making some snacks for children.Adults dare not eat anything outside these days, and children dare not let them touch it at all.
So after Jane saw some homemade snacks at Jojo's house, she wanted to learn from Jojo some snacks suitable for children, so that she could make them at home.
It was naturally impossible for Qiao Qiao to refuse such a request, so the two struggled in the kitchen all afternoon.
"Lizzie? Why did you come back so early today?" Jojo was a little surprised when he saw the two of them taking off their coats with the help of the maid.
"Lydia, is Jane there? My God, we encountered an unimaginable thing today." Elizabeth's tone was astonished, as if something huge had happened.
"Lizzie, what's the matter?" Jane came out with the prepared snacks and prepared to pack them up.
"Jane, do you know what's going on with Mr. Bingley's sister?"
"Caroline? What's wrong with her? After she married Mr. Brummel, she lost a lot of contact with her family." At the beginning, Caroline was always dissatisfied that Charles married her, and Lizzie always wanted to marry her. Married Darcy.
The relationship between them was not good. Later, Caroline got to know Mr. Brummel and heard that Mr. Brummel's family had a lot of assets.Although he was just a businessman, he has read a lot of books.
Caroline likes it, and Charles will naturally not stop her.
After the two married, they moved to Mr. Brummell's hometown.
"We saw her at the Countess of Stirling's ball, do you know who she's getting intimate with?"
"Who? Mr. Brummell?"
"No, it's not. It's the Prince of Wales."
"Pfft, cough cough..." Qiao Qiao was frightened by the gossip.
Caroline Bentley and the Prince of Wales?
Was she trying to say that Caroline Bingley was capable, or that the Prince of Wales was low-minded.
"Well, how could Caroline be with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince..." Jane couldn't react, the whole of Britain knew about their Royal Highness the Crown Prince's affair.
"Maybe we just met." Qiao Qiao didn't quite believe what she said.But it's better for them to avoid such things.
Caroline Bentley had nothing to do with them, and her own husband said nothing.They have no position to say anything.
"Jane, talk to Mr. Bingley when you go back. Miss Caroline is already married. Even Mr. Bingley can't control her anymore. And based on what I know about the Prince of Wales, Caroline is just a few The sky is fresh. At that time, if you manage too much, you will be blamed."
"I know."
After seeing off Jane, who was in a daze, Elizabeth told Jojo some gossip about what happened at the ball.Of course, the most talked about is Caroline Brummel.
Qiao Qiao was forced to fill his head with gossip.
On the eve of the end of the social season, Catherine finally met her true soulmate, the second son of a viscount. Although he was the second son, he had some property of his own and an annual income of [-] pounds.He has a good relationship with his brother and is humorous.It can be said to be a very good marriage.
Mrs. Bennet almost fainted with joy.She couldn't wait to get back to Longbourn to advertise her daughter's marriage and live every day in London.
Similarly, Jojo also learned about Caroline Brummel's ending from Elizabeth. Sure enough, the social season was not over yet, and Caroline was dumped by the crown prince.
It is said that she came to London privately from her family. The Brummel family is a very old-fashioned family.After Caroline married in, she was rejected by the elders of Brummel's family.
Especially her mother-in-law, originally wanted her son to marry a daughter of a squire or even an aristocrat, but ended up marrying a girl from a merchant family.
Yes, according to British class divisions, the Bentleys were businessmen.The Bennet family is a squire, and it is definitely a low marriage for Jane to marry Bingley.
Caroline Bingley was not the kind of person who could bear such grievances. She had been favored by Bingley's family since she was a child. Later, her parents passed away, and her brother was also obedient to her, and said nothing at home.
The bad-tempered Caroline naturally had frequent conflicts with the Brummel family.This time Mrs. Brummell did not allow her to come to London to participate in the social season, which directly ignited the conflict.
So Caroline came to London alone, and met the Prince of Wales at an unknown ball.
Now that the matter is known to the Brummel family, the Brummel family is now in trouble.
Divorce is impossible in this day and age.How to solve it is enough for Mr. Bingley to have a headache.
"It is said that the Brummel family will send people to Bethlehem on the grounds that Caroline is mentally ill."
"This is too much." Jojo frowned. Bethlehem is the oldest mental hospital in Britain, and the horror inside it is comparable to a concentration camp.
How can this Brummel family make people feel so dark, it's too cold-blooded.
"Mr. Bingley naturally disagrees, and now Caroline has been sent to the countryside." Elizabeth didn't know whether she should sympathize with Caroline now.
"No matter what, as long as it doesn't affect Jane."
"Yes."
Because Mrs. Bennet was eager to go back to Longbourn, Jojo had to arrange for them to go back.Bingley had to deal with the affairs of the Brummel family, and Jane took the child and parents back to Longborn.
