don't touch my darcy
Chapter 28 Mrs. Bennett Gone
"Yes, ma'am." Wickham moved his chair closer to Mrs. Bennet. "Perhaps . . . it shouldn't be a problem, if you like."
Hearing what her husband said, Lydia thought that he was just thinking about the one hundred pounds a year, and immediately yelled, "Mom, leave him alone, you should give me the one hundred pounds!"
"Don't make noise, Lydia!" Mrs. Bennet glared at her daughter angrily, and when she faced Wickham, her expression softened again, but she was obviously embarrassed, "Oh, child, of course I am willing, But what can I do for you?"
"I'm not afraid of your jokes. My current salary is only enough to rent the cheapest old-fashioned apartment in London, and I have to try my best to live frugally. You know, Lydia can't live like this at all."
"Ah, Lydia has never suffered a little since she was a child." Mrs. Bennet exclaimed distressedly when she heard what Wickham said about the misery, but she soon recognized him again. There was something in the words, and he hurriedly asked, "Why, are you planning to live in London?"
Lydia was also taken aback, and asked loudly, "You never discussed this with me, George!"
Wickham ignored her and continued to lobby his mother-in-law, "London or anywhere else is fine, ma'am, I don't want Lydia to follow me and the army to move around, and I hope to have a child as soon as possible."
"Child? Yes, you really should have a child! Lydia, when you have a child, you will know how happy and difficult it is to be a mother!" Mrs. Bennet was beaming when she heard this. , beaming with joy.
"I'm very grateful to your son-in-law for arranging a military post for me, but it's really not suitable for Lydia and me in the future." Wickham was very satisfied with Mrs. Bennet's reaction, and his words became more and more nervous. Sincerely complaining, "So, can you, please, make a request to Mr. Darcy on my behalf, and find a more stable position for me. Of course, I know that such a request makes you embarrassed, but it is also for Lydia and us words, child."
"What? You, you asked me to find Mr. Darcy?" The excited expression on Mrs. Bennet's face froze, her smile couldn't hold back, and she stammered, "Oh, this, this, I have to think about it. think……"
Mrs. Bennet's feelings for this prominent second son-in-law are indeed very complicated.
On the one hand, she is full of admiration for Darcy's wealth, status and knowledge, and is also grateful for his thoughtful hospitality to her family; The habit of looking down at people is really daunting.
"If you find it inconvenient, I suggest you go through Mrs. Darcy first. She is a friendly and reasonable sister, and she will understand our difficulties." Seeing Mrs. Bennet's hesitation, Wickham hurried to her idea.
"Lizzie?"
"With Mr. Darcy's love for Mrs. Darcy, he should be more willing to help her sisters."
Wickham cast affectionate glances at Lydia, as if he was really making the best plans for his wife's future, and Lydia has stopped losing her temper, as if she really started to think about settling in London, or somewhere Enough lively place to live.
Mrs. Bennet, with a rare expression of caution, frowned, considering how much possibility the matter had.
Wickham waited patiently, and Lydia couldn't wait any longer, and ran over and shook her mother's arm vigorously, "How about it, mother? George is a delicate person, and he can definitely help Mr. Darcy manage the property in London. Yes, perhaps he needs a butler?"
Mrs. Bennet has always been very willing to respond to Lydia's clamor, but this time, she just thought seriously without saying a word, until even Wickham couldn't help asking "Do you find it difficult?", she finally resolutely shaking his head.
"No, boy, you know, Mr. Darcy is not an easy talker. He and Lizzie have only been married for half a year. If we keep pestering him, what will he think of Lizzie and her family? Poor Mary."
"But Mom, this is not a difficult problem for Mr. Darcy." Lydia rolled into Mrs. Bennet's arms and acted like a baby.
She was indeed tired of the life of running from east to west, and she also wanted to have a nice house where she could play cards every day, hold dances, and make some friendly neighbors and so on.
"But he just helped you, got Wickham a military job, and gave you three thousand pounds? Aunt Gardiner told me later, this is enough for you to live comfortably for two or three years. During this period , leave Lizzie alone."
"Oh, three thousand pounds! Why don't I know!" Lydia Huo turned her head and stared at Wickham incredulously, while the latter looked away embarrassingly.
If Mrs. Bennett's first goal in life before was to marry off her daughters smoothly, then what she hopes most now is for her daughters to live happily.
Especially after going back and forth between London and Pemberley a few times, she became more and more aware that the positions of Mrs. Bingley and Mrs. Darcy were completely different from those of Miss Bennett.
Mr. Bingley and Mr. Darcy were not Uncle Gardiner, or Aunt Philip, and she did not want Jane and Elizabeth to be the least bit criticized.
"That's the way it is. My mother is stubborn." Lydia leaned back on the sofa, curling her lips in frustration.
"Poor Lydia." Her new friend, Miss Sulton, sat beside her considerately, and comforted her softly, "Mrs. Bennet may be thinking too much. I don't think Mr. Darcy is as ugly as he looks. She is close to humanity, and Mrs. Darcy is an amiable person, I can't think of any reason for them not to help their sister and brother-in-law."
"Really? Ivy, do you think so too?" Lydia was encouraged and became more excited, "I also think he is actually a warm-hearted person. He not only arranged the wedding for us, but also gave Wickham three Thousands of pounds, God damn it, that's his salary for at least five years!"
"It's all for Mrs. Darcy, right? It can be seen that Mr. Darcy loves Mrs. Darcy very much, and he will definitely be willing to do more for her." Miss Sulton smiled softly, with kind reverence flashing in her eyes, Unobtrusively reminded her friends.
Perhaps in the days to come, her male god will be extremely unpleasantly harassed, but this is enough for him to see clearly that while enjoying Elizabeth's love, he also has to endure the endless troubles brought by her superb relatives, even is humiliating.
The next day, Mrs. Bennet left Rose Hill and returned to Longbourn, with Wickham and Lydia.
On the one hand, they missed their father, and on the other hand, they took away the £[-] a year allowance Mr. Bennet had promised.
After Mrs. Bennet left for a month and Longbourn finally regained some of its former bustle, the quiet Pemberley also welcomed a guest.
"Hello, Mrs. Darcy, I'm taking the liberty to visit, I hope I didn't spoil your good mood in the morning." The tall and fat gentleman politely kissed the back of the hostess's hand, and the greeting was decent and humorous.
"Where is it, Mr. Reed, I am the one who should say sorry. It was Darcy who invited you here, but he is still writing letters in his study at the moment, so I am afraid you will have to wait a little longer." Elizabeth asked Mr. Reed Sitting down, she really liked this young man from the bottom of her heart.
He has a solid appearance, without exaggeration, and he is kind and calm in dealing with people and doing things, and Elizabeth can see that under his restrained appearance, there should be a delicate and shrewd heart.
Mr. Reed came to visit Pemberley today at the invitation of Mr. Darcy, because Darcy hoped to have a detailed talk with him, so as to confirm whether he was suitable to take over the post of Reverend Short.
Mr. Reed arrived a quarter of an hour earlier, conforming to the etiquette and showing extra respect for the host. Before the serious interview with the serious host, he was able to have a relaxed communication with the lively and easy-going hostess.
Hearing what her husband said, Lydia thought that he was just thinking about the one hundred pounds a year, and immediately yelled, "Mom, leave him alone, you should give me the one hundred pounds!"
