Miss Charlotte Lucas took Roland's arm, looked at the two new greenhouses Roland had built, and then went to look at the newly built vegetable garden behind the Bennett family mansion.

Roland really wanted to know what Charlotte thought of this.

But Charlotte was noncommittal, and said to Roland: "Come on, let's go to the village of Longborn."

Roland didn't know the purpose of Charlotte's visit, but since the other party invited him, he couldn't see any malice.

She immediately put on a go-out shawl and put on a turban.The two young ladies left the Bennett mansion together, arm in arm, seemingly intimately, and walked towards Longbourne.

It just rained yesterday, and the road at the entrance of Longborn Village is still muddy.

But walking into this small village where tenant farmers live, the surface of the road has been piled up with sand and gravel, and the excess water is drained along the ditch beside the road.The road surface is clean and dry, and small pots of flowers are mostly placed in front of the half-timbered houses where the tenant farmers live.The small village is full of idyllic flavor.

There was only one street in the village, and people on the street stopped to say hello when they saw Roland.

The village is already very different from when Roland first came here. The lives of the tenant farmers have begun to improve, and their spiritual outlook has also improved—people have become more modest and polite.

Roland took this change into his heart and felt very comforted.

She turned to look at Charlotte, but Charlotte remained silent, frowning, observing everything in the village.

"Let's go and call on the new Mr. Priest."

Roland remembered that Mr. Simon Fletcher, a trainee priest invited by the village to "raise funds", had been here for several months, and she had never visited him, so he invited Charlotte to go with him.

There was no church in the village of Longborn, but a small chapel, which was used by the apprentice priests as a place for teaching children to read and write.

Roland opened his eyes outside the chapel and found that all the seats inside were full.

The children who come to learn to read and write range from five or six years old to more than ten years old.With sharp eyes, Roland also saw one or two elderly tenant farmers sitting in the chapel holding the planting guidance "farming card" she had handed out at the beginning.

Seeing Roland and Charlotte coming together, Mr. Probationary Priest quickly arranged homework for the "students" to review by themselves, and then rushed out to meet the two ladies.

Roland just came over to say hello, expressing that he dared not disturb Mr. Priest's teaching.

Mr. Fletcher greeted Roland with a smile, mentioned the "farming card" she sent to the villagers, and said:

"Miss Bennett, thank you for making me more famous."

Obviously, the "farming card" made by Roland made more villagers willingly enter this chapel for money, and humbly ask Mr. Fletcher for spelling advice.

In addition, the cards Roland specially made have stick figures corresponding to the text, and the text is easy to understand. It is a very basic and useful "textbook" for tenant farmers.

For this reason, Mr. Fletcher suggested to Roland: "Miss Bennett, I look forward to seeing you make more 'cards' like this."

"In Longbourne, not every family has the Book of the Day, but everyone has a copy of the planting card you issued. This makes my work much easier."

After greeting and thanking the apprentice priests, Roland and Charlotte left the chapel side by side, and returned to the mansion in Longborn side by side.

Along the way, Roland suppressed his curiosity.

It was Charlotte who came to look for her, and if the other party didn't speak, she didn't ask any more questions.

Unexpectedly, when Charlotte saw the big house in Longbourn, she stopped suddenly and said, "It's useless."

Roland was slightly taken aback—what do you mean useless?

"It can be seen that you are a very hardworking player."

Charlotte looked at the great house of Longbourne in the distance.

The house has also changed now. There are two huge transparent "greenhouses" standing in the sunny place. The "vegetable garden" planted with various vegetables is beautiful and generous. In late autumn, it is also full of greenery, revealing prosperity.

"This is the first time you have come to the 'Arrogant Plane'!" Charlotte said with emotion.

Roland nodded.

The fact is true, not only is it her first time to come to the Aobia plane, she doesn't even know the complete plot of the story.

And the Miss Charlotte Lucas in front of her looked like an "old driver", shaking her head and saying, "It's useless..."

"Do you think the changes I've made for this land are all in vain?" Roland didn't like people like Charlotte who always spoke in half, "Why do you think so?"

"You are too confident—do you really believe that you can change the entire plane by yourself?"

Roland thought for a while and replied, "I'm not that arrogant."

But there was a voice in her heart that responded loudly: If you don't try, how will you know you can't do it?

Charlotte, however, seemed to be able to see clearly what Roland was really thinking, sighed, and said, "How long have you been in this plane, should you have earned a lot of money? Do you have a few hundred pounds? "

Roland pursed his lips and remained silent.

Charlotte sounded like she was joking, but Roland was right.

Counting matsutake and truffles, three yellow chickens and various vegetables... Roland has indeed only earned a few hundred pounds so far.

On the one hand, she spent a lot of money on infrastructure investment because she went to London once, and on the other hand, because she was very generous, she distributed a lot of proceeds to the tenant farmers in Longbourn.

But if you only look at the grades, she is "like a tiger in one operation, and three-digit property at a glance."

"Have you ever thought that your hard work is nothing compared to those men who have easily inherited tens of thousands of wealth."

Indeed, Roland's current wealth is not only inferior to Mr. Darcy's annual income of [-] pounds, Mr. Bingley's annual income of [-] pounds, and even her own father's annual income of [-] pounds.

"Besides, so what if you are really rich?" Charlotte sighed deeply.

"In this plane, adult women have only two identities: one is a wife, and the other is an old maid."

"Businesswoman, gardener, landowner businesswoman...there is no such thing as your family wanting to marry you off before you reach your age."

Charlotte's complaints are in line with the current situation of her character——

The 27-year-old girl is not beautiful and has no property. The family keeps putting pressure on her, and the only hope is to marry her off as soon as possible.

As for the Bennetts... the same is true.

But Roland felt very puzzled when he heard it: This is a famous plane, and it is also a reality show.

——These "players" entered this plane, isn't it just to change?

They uphold their own personalities and abilities, and make choices that are completely different from the original characters. Isn't this the point of "reality show"?

Roland: Although I also have countless complaints that I want to vomit, but complaining can't change anything, you have to work hard, right?

What Charlotte thought was obviously different from her:

"I've been to several famous planes, and I've been to 'Ao Pian' too... But I have to admit, this is the worst time I've ever been. I can't think of any way to make this character She's respected, make her likable."

Roland really didn't understand: "But, Charlotte, I think your character is very cute? Lizzie likes you so much..."

Charlotte was dumb for a moment, shook her head and said, "It seems that you really don't know the plot of the original book, and you don't know the direction of this plane. When you came to this plane, did the producer give you a brief introduction? "

Roland: "No..."

Charlotte curled her lips immediately, as if she felt that she shouldn't spend so much time talking - it seems that the other party is just a small person, and even the producer didn't bother to give her a brief introduction before entering the plane.

"But I have an agent." Roland added lightly.

Charlotte immediately had a choked expression, and it took a long time before he said: "In this case, even if you don't know some things now, you will know sooner or later."

"Charlotte, you are also a girl, and you know this plane and this era better than me."

Roland turned to Charlotte and said sternly, "Indeed, my business here has just started—agriculture and catering. They bring income far less quickly than inheritance, real estate and securities."

"But doing all of this makes me feel meaningful and fulfilled."

Charlotte nodded noncommittally, with an expression on her face that seemed to say, "No wonder you like farming."

"I don't worship money, and I don't have the extravagant hope that I can make my wealth surpass the men around me in such a short period of time."

"But I think wealth is meaningful." Roland looked at Charlotte and said seriously.

"Women's wealth through legitimate sources allows you to have the power to choose at important crossroads. It allows you to have the confidence to say 'no' to the life path you don't want to take."

"Having the power to choose..."

Charlotte was obviously moved when she heard Roland's words.But she lowered her head and thought for a moment, and this touch had disappeared without a trace.

"As expected, you still know too little about the 'Famous Planes'."

Obviously, there is no need to continue this communication between the players.

"I can only say, good luck to you—I hope that when you face 'fate', you can also have the power to make choices in the plane as you said."

This conversation with Charlotte didn't affect Roland in any way—she was too assertive...or she was too busy during this time to consider all the details in Charlotte's words.

At the dinner table that day, Mr. Bennett reminded his wife obliquely:

"Dear Mrs. Bennett, the last supper has been exceptionally rich and delicious. I hope this standard will be maintained for the next few days."

"Because . . . my cousin, the future successor of Longbourne . . . Mr. Collins, is going to be visiting."
