Grasp the farming script in the famous book

To get married in this plane, there is usually no need to apply for a "licensed marriage license".

Like the wedding of Jane and Bingley, the "marriage notice" is hung in the church of the parish. If no one objects to it for three weeks, the marriage is considered to be a marriage.

However, in order to avoid the objection of Mrs. Catherine de Boer, Mr. Darcy applied to the archbishop for a "marriage license" through his relationship in the church.

Unexpectedly, the archbishop rejected the request.

Don't think about it, it must be that Mrs. Catherine has a lot of hands and interfered with her nephew's marriage.

As soon as the application for a special marriage license was rejected, Longborn immediately became confused.

Mrs. Bennet's "nervousness" immediately broke out again, and she was tortured enough: seeing the duck in her hand fly away, she couldn't swallow this breath.

So the lady just pushed Mr. Bennet to find a way.

Mr. Bennet had no choice but to use this as an excuse to avoid London.

The sisters are comforting Elizabeth.

Elizabeth said, "I'm not afraid!"

"Little sister, tell everyone again, the sentence he left before he left."

Before Mr. Darcy left, the original words relayed by Toroland were: "Please tell my fiancée, please rest assured."

If Mr. Darcy didn't have this persistence, and would shrink back when encountering obstacles, then he would not be worthy of Elizabeth's entrustment for life.

Roland didn't intend to just sit and wait in Longborn.

"Is it the archbishop's disapproval of the issuance of 'marriage licenses'?"

The sisters nodded together.

"So, how can we meet the archbishop, explain the truth to him, and ask him to approve this 'marriage license'?"

Everyone felt that Roland was whimsical.

Mr. Darcy's connections with the church were deep and he was still relentlessly rejected.As for these little girls, they have neither background nor contacts, and they can't even meet the archbishop, let alone persuade the archbishop to change his mind and issue a special marriage certificate.

"For Elizabeth, we must think of a way. Everyone, cheer up. After all, nothing is difficult in this world, as long as there is a heart." Roland said, clenching his small fists.

So, what is the way to meet the archbishop?

"Yes!" Roland hurriedly put on his shoes for going out, "I'll go to the village to meet Mr. Fletcher."

"Mr. Fletcher? The novice?"

Mary and Kitty were at a loss as to why.

But Roland didn't bother to explain. When she and Uncle Phillips gave the trainee priest a ride the last time they went to London, they learned that Mr. Fletcher studied under the former archbishop.

Although Mr. Fletcher's teacher has no longer held the post of bishop and has entered the court, perhaps he can find a way and find a way from him.

"You mean that you want to see the Bishop and persuade him to change his mind and reissue the 'marriage license' to Miss Ling and Mr. Darcy?"

Roland nodded vigorously, vaguely feeling that Mr. Fletcher was not surprised by this.

"Well, let me write a letter to my teacher and see what he thinks."

After Mr. Fletcher agreed, everything can only wait for the news.

About a week later, Mr. Fletcher visited Roland.

"Miss Lydia, I think there may be news today." With a diluted smile on his face, he picked up the black tea with elderberry syrup in his hands, took a sip, and then showed admiration.

Although Roland was worried, she figured out what Mr. Fletcher meant. Even if there was news, it should be good news.

Sure enough, not long after, Uncle Phillips rushed in from outside the house, before he could take off his hat, he wanted to talk to Roland.

"Niece, great news, this is a great honor..."

The elderly Mr. Phillips moved his lips in excitement, but he couldn't even speak.

Within a few minutes, the neighbor Sir Lucas also came. With a smile on his face, he walked into Longborn's mansion and congratulated Roland.

"Miss Bennett, it's a real honour, the honour, the honour, of Hertfordshire—"

Roland didn't understand, so he said, "Uncle, sir, what are you two talking about?"

"Niece, you have been selected into the list of ladies who will enter the palace to meet His Majesty. In two days, you will be able to meet His Majesty the King!"

Mr. Phillips finally stopped trembling and struggled to say this sentence.

"Miss Bennett, congratulations!" Sir Lucas expressed warm congratulations.

"No one would have thought that you would be summoned by His Majesty the King because you successfully applied for a patent and are about to successfully publish a book."

"In the past, the ladies who met His Majesty had to be noble ladies. Now His Majesty's move must be aimed at extolling the virtues of hard work and thrift to get rich, and sharing selfless knowledge...Miss Bennett, you deserve this honor."

Sir Lucas is a man who has seen big scenes, and his words of congratulations are beautiful and decent, but they are also very reasonable.

"This--"

The good news came so suddenly, Roland didn't react for a while, and after a short pause, she immediately turned to look at Mr. Fletcher.

"Mr. Priest, I remember you mentioned that His Majesty the King is also the head of the Church of England?"

Mr. Fletcher smiled and nodded: "Miss, you are very smart."

This--

Roland immediately bowed deeply to Mr. Fletcher: "I understand."

"When I see His Majesty the King, I will make a petition to him, asking him to take back the Archbishop's order, and ask him to issue a 'marriage license' to my sister and brother-in-law."

The living room in Longborn fell suddenly silent.

Mr. Phillips and Sir Lucas looked at each other:

It is such an honor to meet the king, and many people never have this opportunity in their lifetime.

But why, Miss Bennett, all she can think about is to take this opportunity to solve problems for her sister and future brother-in-law. Will this...will annoy His Majesty the King.

"Miss Bennet...do you want to be more careful?"

At this time, the sisters heard the movement and came downstairs one after another. When they heard the good news, they also congratulated Roland together.

But Roland remembered one thing, she turned to Sir Lucas: "You just said that I was summoned by His Majesty the King because I was able to successfully publish a book, right?"

Sir Lucas nodded. "That's exactly what the paper said."

Roland thought for a while: "Then, Mary and Kitty should also go with me."

Mary and Kitty were originally only envious of Roland's luck, but when they heard Roland's words, the two girls suddenly became bewildered.

"Am... shall we go too?" Kitty's voice trembled with fear.

"Of course!" Roland said loudly, "Two dear sisters, without your support, I would never be able to complete this project by myself. You have made great contributions to this matter, and you should go with me."

"Kitty, haven't you always wanted to go to London?" Roland hugged Kitty's arm, "I'll take you to the largest department store in London, and we'll go shopping in Cheapside together! "

"And Mary, I'm going to take you to Charing Cross Road, and show you the publisher's library, where you can find all the books you want to read..."

She turned to look at Mr. Phillips again: "Dear uncle, let's go to the king together, is that... okay?"

Mr. Phillips hadn't recovered from the shock, and after a while, he took out a newspaper from his pocket and said, "It says, Miss Bennett, 'Selected for Contributions to Patents and Publishing'... "

"I think, yes, three nieces, since you are all involved in the publishing work, then you... should all be able to enter the palace to have an audience with the king!"

When the news came out that the three ladies of the Bennet family were about to meet the king, the whole Meryton was shaken.

Mrs. Bennet's "nerves" miraculously healed without any medicine. She got up from the sick bed and packed up the "battle clothes" for her daughters when they entered the palace with great energy.

"My darlings, when you see Your Majesty, you must say a few kind words for your second sister."

But she began to cry again at the thought of Elizabeth's unresolved marriage with Mr. Darcy.

Roland, Marie, and Kitty took turns to come up and hug Mama.

"Mom, don't worry, God gave us this opportunity, which shows that there is no unparalleled road. We will definitely succeed."

Roland is most grateful to Mr. Fletcher, a trainee priest.

She went to the village of Longborn, and met the novice in the little chapel, and expressed her special gratitude.

"My dear Miss Bennett, I haven't done anything at all."

"I just mentioned what happened in Longborn in front of my teacher. Well... When I was confirming the audience list in the palace recently, I sent another letter to my teacher."

"In this village, you are the one who instructs everyone to farm, you are the one who changes everyone's life, and you are the one who guides everyone to accept new things..."

"If you must be grateful, then the person you most need to be grateful for is yourself."

"He who helps others helps himself, this is the truth that God taught the world."

Mr. Fletcher said gently, "Go, Miss Bennet, and fight for your own futures. You will succeed."

Roland said goodbye to her family and friends in Hertfordshire, and traveled to London with his two sisters.

Mr. Bennett and Mr. Gardiner had been informed and were waiting for their arrival in London.

There, the three sisters received several days of training in "audience etiquette"-trying to make them behave like "ladies" in front of royal family members.

Roland was very tired of this kind of training.

Fortunately, Mary and Kitty practiced various manners and address in trepidation, which made Roland feel relieved—in case he forgot something, there were sisters by his side, so they could take care of each other.

"It's good to have sisters by my side!" Roland couldn't help sighing.

"In my opinion, Miss Lydia Bennett, I'm afraid you are impatient with these tedious etiquettes and want to be a little lazy?"

A grown man's voice sounded behind her.

"Mr. Darcy," Roland jumped up and turned around.Sure enough, I saw my future brother-in-law.

Mr. Darcy looked at Roland with a smile in his eyes.Since his engagement to Elizabeth, the Bennets have become much closer to him.

Although Mr. Darcy still treats his wives and sisters politely, Roland and the others already treat him as an elder brother.

"Lydia," said Mr. Darcy, looking at Roland, "I have heard everything. I will be forever grateful for what you have done for me and Elizabeth."

"Please don't be burdened. It's good to have a suitable opportunity to ask His Majesty. If it's inconvenient, please don't make it difficult for us..."

"Please rest assured, my sisters and I will definitely find an opportunity to make a request to His Majesty the King."

"Since he is willing to meet us, he must not be a monarch who sticks to his class status. Such a reasonable request should be supported."

With joy in his eyes, Mr. Darcy held out his hand to shake Roland's.

"Dear sister, please allow me to regard you as my own sister - I am very grateful to you, with your encouragement, I have more confidence to pursue this happiness."

"Family, don't be so polite."

When Roland said this, he was still a little embarrassed, "I'm afraid I have another important matter in the future, and I need your help..."

She remembered what Luna had mentioned about asking Mr. Darcy to help "canvass votes".

This is a matter that is quite difficult to say.She thought about it for a long time, but she didn't know how to explain it.

But Mr. Darcy is very concerned: "What's the matter? What embarrassment happened?"

"If there is anything that is useful, please let me know, and I will do my bidding."

Roland struggled for a moment, but decided to put the matter aside for now. In any case, he had to wait until he could really help before he could say this.

"The day after tomorrow is the day to meet the king, so I won't bother you," Mr. Darcy said politely, "I will...wait for the good news."

The day to see the king is coming soon.

In the early morning of this day, Roland and his two sisters had already put on the dress "battle suit" chosen by Mrs. Bennet and slightly modified by Jane and Elizabeth.

Roland wore a pair of fine long gloves made of silk, but he did not forget to hold a brand new book in his arms tightly.

This book still exudes the fragrance of ink. It is a "sample book" that has just been printed, bound and sent to Roland, and Roland cut it himself.

Mary and Kitty each had such a copy.

The three sisters looked at each other, unable to believe it, but extremely proud.

They used to write, draw, count, and proofread day and night... These efforts have never been in vain, and now they have all turned into typefaces and a book.

It is written very clearly on the cover of this book: the author, Sister Bennett.

Previously, the publisher, Mr. Skrtel, had specially sent a letter asking for their opinions on how to sign the author.

Mr. Skrtel suggested that they take a pseudonym, something unisex, without revealing their identity as women.

The reason for the publisher's suggestion is that using a unisex name as a pseudonym may sell better than using their real names.

Mr. Skrtel's subtext is that what they have published is an how-to book on farming and gardening.If the author is male, even if it is a neutral name, it will make people feel more believable.

Roland thought about it, and finally decided to use their real names.

"I reassure Mr. Skrtel that the sale of the book is absolutely on my shoulders."

Roland explained to her two sisters in this way: "Think about it, the two brother-in-laws married to Jane and Elizabeth, how many lands are there under their names, and how many tenant farmers are there on the land?"

"For the sake of the production of these lands and the well-being of the tenant farmers, they are ashamed not to buy a few sets of agricultural books and distribute them to the priests of the diocese so that they can read them to the tenant farmers, right?"

Mary and Kitty both laughed and praised her for being right.

While speaking, the carriage had arrived at the palace.

As soon as the three sisters got out of the carriage, they were led by the court officials to the side hall where they were waiting for an audience.

This side hall is about a hundred square meters, with large floor-to-ceiling windows on one side and tapestries with religious themes on the other.Chandeliers hung from the ceiling, and the atmosphere in the hall was dignified and solemn.

Kitty could scarcely speak when she was in the house.

Mary was still calm, but felt that her eyes were not enough—this was the palace, and every piece of utensils and decorations here... was something they had never seen in Longbourne.

When the Bennett sisters entered the hall, there were already more than a dozen luxuriously dressed ladies waiting here.

Seeing them coming in, an arrogant noble lady stepped forward and asked them their names and their origins.

"The Bennetts in Hertfordshire?"

After hearing Roland and others report their family name, the noble lady turned around without saying a word, and left Roland and the others.

"I've never heard of this surname..."

"... Can anyone come to see His Majesty now?"

Roland and the three of them heard the discussion coming from afar.Those famous ladies are frowning and discussing.Just now "condescending" stepped forward, and the young lady who had a conversation with Roland and the others desperately fanned the wind, as if saying a word to them meant being insulted.

Kitty dropped her head instantly, and Mary flushed too.

"Ignore them—"

Roland comforted his sisters with a volume that others could hear.

"The times are changing. The value of a person is no longer measured by his background, but by his contribution to society."

She clapped the books in her hand: "This is our contribution to this society."

The distinguished ladies in the distance obviously heard her words, and all showed disdainful expressions in astonishment, and fanned the wind vigorously together, as if this would make them feel better.

Unexpectedly, after a while, the door of the side hall opened wide.

The Royal Court of Honor announces the order of people entering the hall.The ladies of the nobility rushed to the front at once, expecting to hear their names and see the king earlier.

"Miss Mary Bennett, Miss Catherine Bennett, Miss Lydia Bennett, my audience—"

Bennett? ——The noble ladies were all stunned.

This surname is obviously what they detested just now

Roland turned his head to look at her sisters.

Mary was quite calm, but Kitty still looked a little flustered.

At this time, the noble ladies crowded in front and waited for an audience, no matter how reluctant they were, they had to make way for Roland and the others.

Roland first shook Mary's hand, then patted Kitty on the shoulder, and whispered, "Let them see what the new generation of women should look like."

At her encouragement, Mary and Kitty nodded together.

The three sisters raised their heads one after another, ignoring her gaze.They walk side by side.Before entering the king's hall, Roland handed the brand new "sample booklet" to the royal etiquette officer waiting at the door.

The ceremonial officer rushed in front of them and delivered the books to His Majesty the King in one swift motion.
