Grasp the farming script in the famous book

Mr. Skrtel, the publisher, graciously gave up the reception room, so that Mr. Darcy and Roland had a chance to exchange pleasantries.

"Miss Bennet, I haven't seen you for some time." Darcy sighed.

Roland nodded: "Yes, the last time we met was at the ball in Netherfield."

Since then, Mr. Darcy has come to London, and the Bingleys soon follow.Since then, Roland has never heard from Mr. Darcy again—unexpectedly, he met him in the bookstore on Charing Cross Road.

"You come to the publisher because..." Darcy suddenly remembered the question.

Roland replied without humility: "I talked to the publisher about the publication of an 'Agricultural Book'. Mr. Skrtel provided me with many valuable suggestions."

"Agricultural book? Publication?" Darcy was obviously surprised, but he immediately recovered his politeness, nodded and said, "I see, Miss Bennett, you are doing something very meaningful."

"When your books are published, I will definitely buy some and distribute them to the people who help me look after the Pemberley estate."

Instead of hitting Roland, Mr. Darcy gave him a few words of encouragement. Roland was very happy when he heard this.

Her agent cat, Luna, has repeatedly hinted at her, suggesting that she have a good relationship with Mr. Darcy—according to Luna, this gentleman is "very popular" and maintains a friendly relationship with Mr. Darcy. Help to increase the favorability in the hearts of the audience.

"By the way, my sister Jane has been in London since Christmas. Have you seen her?"

Roland asked casually.

Mr. Darcy shook his head: "I went back to Derbyshire after the New Year to deal with some family affairs, and I was not in London before Easter—did Miss Ling really go to London? I never heard Mr. Bingley say..."

Roland looked at Mr. Darcy and smiled: "It seems that Mr. Bingley is still your friend."

Darcy sighed: "Mr. Bingley's temper...it's hard for people to blame him, and it's hard for him to blame others."

This pair of friends should have reconciled, right? — Roland thought to himself.

However, Mr. Bingley never mentioned Jane in front of Mr. Darcy—was Bingley deliberately ignoring her, or was she simply kept in the dark?

"Oh, what a coincidence—my sister just went to Scarborough a few days ago. If I knew Miss Bennett would come to London, I should have kept her for a few more days." Darcy suddenly thought of his sister. Georgiana.

He looked very sorry.

At the ball in Netherfield, he had mentioned that he wanted to introduce Roland to his sister Georgiana.

Now that he was repeating the old story, Roland decided to point it out because of his sincerity.

"My sister Elizabeth and I set out to-morrow for Hunsford, Kent, to stay with my cousin. Do you remember my cousin, Mr. Collins?"

"Collins?" Darcy thought about it blankly for a while, and it was only after Roland's reminder that he remembered that Mr. Collins once "recommended himself" to himself in public, and praised his "benefactor" in front of many people. Ender of Lady Catherine de Boer.

Mrs. de Boer was Mr. Darcy's aunt--Roland had mentioned the relationship when he had heard his cousin Collins boast.

"Understood," Mr. Darcy stood up to bid farewell to Roland, "Miss Bennet, I wish you all the best."

Darcy didn't show any expression of emotion or anger, and didn't talk much—even Roland was a little uncertain about what this gentleman was thinking about her second sister now.

If a distant cousin with a low status and a stupid tongue can change Mr. Darcy's opinion of their sisters, then such a Mr. Darcy is really too arrogant.

Unexpectedly, when parting, Mr. Darcy added another sentence: "I hope to see both of you in Rosings."

Only then did Roland confirm Mr. Darcy's intentions, knowing that her "pointing" was meaningful.Roland curtseyed with satisfaction, and bid farewell to Mr. Darcy and the publisher.

The next day she and Elizabeth bid farewell to Jane, and with Sir Lucas, she left London for Kent.

Along the way she saw what Aunt Gardner had called "turnpikes."

These roads are indeed flat and hard, very easy to walk.The equivalent journey from Meryton to London takes two days, which can be done in one day on the "turnpike" near London.

And this "toll road" is extending in all directions with London as the center.

Roland saw that many places were under construction. Workers were widening the road surface, building road shoulders, and turning the dirt road that was dusty when driving on it into a high-grade "toll road."

Elizabeth, who was sitting next to Roland, also saw this scene, and couldn't help but patted Roland on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Little sister, you really have a good eye, and you will participate in the construction of this 'toll road', regardless of the 'toll rights'. In the future, when we go back to Longbourne from my uncle's house, we can sit in the carriage so comfortably and get home in half a day..."

Roland also smiled: "It's better to repair this road quickly, before Jane goes home - then Jane will be surprised..."

Unexpectedly, when she mentioned Jane, Elizabeth immediately looked sad.

Roland was also silent for a moment.

After a while, Roland euphemistically mentioned that he met Mr. Darcy in London-it was inconvenient for her to mention this news to Elizabeth in front of Jane when she was in London.

Unexpectedly, Elizabeth frowned and asked Roland: "You said——did Mr. Darcy and Miss Bingley also hide information about Jane from Mr. Bingley?"

Roland turned his face away, raised his eyebrows, and asked Elizabeth, "Why do you think so?"

"I..." Elizabeth didn't know how she came up with this thought, so she paused for a moment before saying, "They are very good friends?!"

"And Mr. Darcy once arrogantly refused to dance with you." Roland added.

She felt that Elizabeth did have some prejudice against Mr. Darcy, and it was not easy to correct the prejudice after a long time. She had to start as soon as possible and break it off.

Elizabeth pouted in disbelief, glared at Roland, and added: "But we all know how Mr. Darcy treated Mr. Wickham."

After Darcy and Mr. Bingley left Netherfield, Meryton became Mr. Wickham's world-almost everyone knew how Mr. Darcy treated his father's beloved godson harshly after his father's death.

Roland smiled immediately.She looked at Elizabeth with a smile: "Who reminded us that one-sided words cannot be trusted. Who pointed out that the person involved is absent and cannot be refuted?"

Elizabeth was speechless for a moment.

Mr. Wickham publicized Darcy's "bad deeds" in Meryton, and Elizabeth, out of "caution", often warned her sisters not to trust Wickham's words.But it is obvious that Elizabeth herself has been more or less affected, and her "prejudice" against Darcy has deepened.

Roland wanted to help Elizabeth get rid of this "prejudice".

So she waited for a while to let Elizabeth realize that she was prejudiced before telling Elizabeth the truth: "Mr. Darcy himself said that he left London after the New Year, just at the same time as Jane. He really didn't know that Jane was also in London."

Elizabeth let out an "ah" and covered her mouth lightly, obviously realizing that she had indeed wrongly blamed others.

Rowland went on to add: "He also said that Mr. Bingley never mentioned that Jane was also in London. It is likely that Mr. Bingley himself was kept in the dark."

Elizabeth clapped her hands: "Yes, because Mr. Bingley doesn't know and is easy to be manipulated by his relatives, that's why he is like this...Poor Jane."

The two sisters sighed in unison, for a moment they didn't know how to help the elder sister.

Roland mentioned: "Maybe we can meet Mr. Darcy in Hunsford. Maybe he can help us exert some influence on Mr. Bingley and let Mr. Bingley know that he is actually being deceived?"

Elizabeth immediately stared at Roland and asked, "Could it be that you will tell Mr. Darcy that we are going to Hunsford?"

Roland realized that he might have said too much, and immediately shook his head in denial: "I didn't!"

"I just . . . thought Mr. Darcy was related to my cousin's benefactor."

This trick diverted Elizabeth's attention, and she laughed "puchi": "I heard Cousin Collins say so much, I really want to know Mrs. de Boer..."

"Coincidentally, me too..."

Along the way, the two sisters talked and talked, and they were not lonely at all.Coupled with the clear road, they soon arrived at the priest's residence in Hunsford.

Cousin Collins and Maria Lucas -- now Maria Collins -- stood together at the door to greet them.

"Eliza, Lydia...it's great to have you two here."

Maria was very happy to see Elizabeth and Roland.

Roland looked at Maria and felt that this "friend" seemed to be more enthusiastic about Elizabeth:

She knew that Maria had married Cousin Collins in the role of "Charlotte."

Therefore, Elizabeth is probably the guest of Hunsford in the original book.Roland was incidental.

Regardless, Maria is Roland's nominal best friend.Roland could only cheer up, and under the guidance of Maria and his cousin Collins, he visited the newlywed "love nest" jointly arranged by the priest couple.

She was surprised to find that in this house, Maria and Collins had distinct activity areas——

Cousin Collins' activities are mainly outdoors, and the large garden behind the priest's cottage is his "territory".

Cousin Collins had been bragging about his gardens and inviting Elizabeth and Roland to look at them from the moment the guests entered the rectory.

But in the end, Mr. Collins only invited Sir Lucas to go with him.

Elizabeth and Roland tacitly excused that the shoes were inconvenient, and they both stayed in the house, visiting the living room, reception room, and study room with bay windows and a small balcony that Maria had arranged according to her own taste.

Elizabeth and Roland praised in unison, saying that this place is very similar to "Lucas Cabin".This compliment simply overwhelmed Maria.

"Thanks to Mr. Collins' entrustment, the inner house was handed over to me. Of course, I arranged it according to my own preferences."

"No need to take Cousin Collins' opinion into account?"

Maria shook her head: "Of course not. He knows nothing about Rosings's taste except that he has good taste. It's easy to refute him."

"When he's not in the garden, he's in his own study."

"I can entertain my own guests in the drawing room, and when I need to write a letter or read a book, I go to the living room and he won't bother me."

Elizabeth and Roland looked at each other, and both felt that this couple was not simple.

Cousin Collins was rejected when he proposed to Elizabeth, but he found Maria in a blink of an eye.

Two marriage proposals within three days are enough to prove that this gentleman's request is very simple: find a girl who is willing to marry him, and marry her.

Maria didn't mind Cousin Collins' "lightning" marriage proposal at all, but accepted the other party readily.This proves that Maria's request is also very simple: find a husband who is willing to marry her, has a legitimate occupation, certain property and status, and marry him.

Judging from the current situation, the goals of both parties have been achieved.

At the same time, because the goals of both parties are very pure, the couple lives very harmoniously, with clear distinctions and no disturbance to each other.

From Maria's point of view, the "husband" of Cousin Collins is probably a big tool man, and he will use it when Maria needs a "husband".

In the eyes of Cousin Collins, Maria's functional role was probably no more than that.

This couple takes what they need, and in the eyes of outsiders, it is already a pretty ideal marriage.

But looking at this marriage from the perspective of the parties involved, Roland didn't know: Will Maria feel a little... uneasy about her original choice at a certain point in her life.

But she remembered something and hurried to Maria for help.

She needs to use the living room of the priest's cottage to write her manuscript, and also needs to write a letter to her two sisters who stay in Longbourn, reporting the results of the preliminary negotiation with the publisher, and asking the sisters to continue to help draw more illustrations draft, writing a more complete manuscript text.

"Lydia, what did you say?"

Even Elizabeth was shocked: "You mean, the 'farming card' that you and Mary made together may be published after revision and arrangement?"

Roland smiled and nodded at his sister.

Elizabeth immediately opened her arms and hugged Roland tightly, and the two sisters hugged each other and turned around.

In this era, a group of young girls who have not left the cabinet can actually publish a book-this is something that people can't even imagine.That's why Elizabeth was so excited.

Maria was also very happy when she heard this.She ran directly to Mr. Collins' study, found all the paper, ink, quills...all she could find, and piled them in the living room.It was all but Mr. Collins's beech desk.

Maria told Roland: "Go ahead, go ahead... oh my god, my best friend, there's a book coming out soon... oh my Lydia, I can't believe it, you're so smart !"

The matter of the correspondence with Longborn was immediately settled.

"Don't worry, it's very easy to send a letter. There is a postman in Rosings who goes to and from London every day. If you need to send a letter, just let me know." Maria said.

"You don't have to worry about being disturbed if you live in Hunsford, just write a book here every day! Don't worry about Mr. Collins, I will never let him disturb you."

Maria's words once again proved Cousin Collins' attributes of a big tool man, throwing out wherever it is useless...

When Cousin Collins and Sir Lucas returned, the gentlemen noticed at once that the rectory had changed.

Collins's study looked like it had been ransacked, but all the stationery that could be used was moved to the living room.

The owner immediately protested.

The ladies and wives were all assembled in the living room at this time, and the protests of Cousin Collins were ignored.

"Mr. Collins, your cousin Lydia, may have the opportunity to publish a book, an important agricultural book...won't you show her support?"

After Maria was annoyed by her husband, she revealed such shocking facts as soon as she turned her face.

Cousin Collins was also completely shocked: if he remembered correctly, his youngest cousin should be the most uneducated, ignorant, and couldn't even listen to Sermons.

But if what the wife said is true, wouldn't it be...

The priest was born with a temperament of adapting to the wind.Publishing such a thing, if it were him, would definitely not even dare to think about it.If the cousin really made it, it would definitely be an achievement worth boasting about.

So Cousin Collins immediately burst into smiles, and immediately began to compliment Roland, then Elizabeth, and the Bennett family of Longbourne, and said: When he stepped into the house in Longbourn, he felt the deep love there. Humanistic atmosphere - he knew early on that his cousins ​​were not simple and would be able to publish books in the future.

The garrulous gentleman babbled all the way to the table, and the sumptuous dinner that greeted his guests managed to gag him.

Before going to bed at night, Elizabeth came to Roland's bedroom, took Roland's hand, and said emotionally, "Little sister, thank you so much today."

Roland said with a smile, "What's there to be thankful for?"

Elizabeth said with emotion: "Cousin Collins probably wants to see me regret it. Who knows that everyone is concerned about your book publication."

Mr. Collins' attitude during the day was like this, boasting about his house, garden, benefactor... and then waiting for Elizabeth to show regret that he had not agreed to his marriage proposal.

Unexpectedly, even his own wife ignored him and swept away all his stationery to entertain friends——Roland still finds it funny when he recalls the priest's cousin's expression.

Elizabeth was serious for a while, then immediately turned lively again, and asked Roland with a smile: "You said, if Cousin Collins found out the truth: your book is actually still in preparation and has not been published, would he You won't regret it, I said so many good things for you?"

Indeed, Mr. Collins today described Roland as if he were a great writer.Even Roland didn't know whether Mr. Collins understood what his wife meant.

"Of course." Roland imitated his cousin Collins, frowning and said, "I thought he was a great writer, but who knew that he just issued 'farming cards' to tenant farmers? What is that?"

She imitated it so vividly that Elizabeth fell down on Roland's bed laughing directly.

The two sisters chatted and laughed for a while, and Elizabeth went back to the room to go to bed. Before leaving, she didn't forget to tell Roland: "Take a good rest, I'm afraid you will be busy for a while."

Roland: Yes, she will be busy for a while.

But what she wants to be busy with is not just the manuscript of the agricultural book - she has an important task when she comes to Derbyshire on this trip:

"Meridon North-South Foodstuffs Shop" intends to gradually expand its business in Kent.

When Roland came to the picturesque village of Hunsford, she didn't just think about admiring the pastoral scenery—she also had a mission to send "chicken" to the countryside.
