Pride and Prejudice the Poor Princess

Mary's social circle gradually opened up. Although the women here also have all kinds of bad tempers, they are not serious, and getting along with them is easy and pleasant.The only thing that makes Mary uncomfortable is the unrestrained folk customs here.Girls can find husbands and sons-in-law for themselves, relying on large and small balls, and they can make a private appointment for life if they see each other right. As long as there are no major problems, their parents will generally agree.What's more, if you don't want to get married, you can be an old maid all your life, as long as you are sure you can support yourself.

This kind of free marriage and love situation was once what Mary longed for most, but now it makes her feel very troubled.All the Fanbang men are well-built, with high noses and broad eyebrows, and they look the same no matter how close they are from a distance, and they can't arouse Mary's love at all.Moreover, when dancing with them, they have to hug each other and sniff each other. This is completely unacceptable to Mary, who has received more than ten years of education from Daxia Noble Girls and has reserved reservations in her bones.

Marrying a fan, she can't do it now; if she doesn't marry for life, that meager dowry can't support the expenses of the rest of her life.In short, Mary is caught in a dilemma.It is simply not popular in the UK that the phrase "women don't stay in college, stay in it will cause worry", she can still make mental preparations for a few more years.

The days passed with Mary's continuous exploration, and seeing that spring was coming to an end, a continuous rain for more than ten days caused Mr. Bennett to catch a bad cold.He was so sick that he couldn't get out of bed, coughed violently every few minutes, his face was flushed, and he was breathing heavily, as if he would die at any time.The Bennett women were terrified and called for a doctor.

All the affairs of the family fell on Mrs. Bennet. Her body was weaker than Mr. Bennet's, and she fell ill within a few days.The family suddenly lost its backbone, and except for Mary, the Bennet ladies were surrounded by gloom and were very disturbed.

Jane held an account book in her hand, rubbed her forehead and lamented, "Oh my god, my father's handwriting is too scribbled, and my mother's settlement is also messed up, I can't understand it at all! Elizabeth, what should I do? I can't support this family at all. competence!"

"Let me see." Elizabeth put down the receipt in her hand, took it over to check, and shook her head regretfully after a few minutes, "I'm sorry Jane, there's nothing I can do."

Catherine and Lydia became very quiet. When they heard the coughing of their father and mother in the room, they showed worried expressions and ran in to have a look from time to time.

Mary came out of her parents' room carrying a tray with two unfinished dinners on it.Mrs. Roni hurried forward to take the tray and handed her a wet handkerchief to wipe her hands.She went downstairs slowly and told Jane and Elizabeth, "Give me all the account books and receipts."

It was an imperative tone, full of irresistible confidence and authority.Jane and Elizabeth unconsciously gave up their seats to her.

Mary sat down, picked up the account books and receipts on the desk, browsed through the ten lines at a glance, and quickly sorted out the clues.Back then, she had full authority to take care of the huge Compassionate Palace, but a small manor was a piece of cake for her.

After sorting out the account books, she had a better understanding of the situation of the Bennett family.The family has begun to show signs of decline, barely maintaining a balance of income and expenditure, and the dowry saved for the daughters five years ago has not increased by a penny, which shows that Mr. Bennett is careless about his own property.

Mary was seriously planning to fill it in, and the four sisters sat around her, peeking at her calm and calm face from time to time, feeling extremely at ease.Luckily they have Mary!

"Miss Mary, the horses in the stable are also infected with influenza, and the condition is very serious. Please Mr. Bennett go and have a look." Mr. John, who manages the ranch, ran into the living room and shouted anxiously.

The faces of the sisters turned ugly in an instant.What do you mean when the house leaks and it rains all night?This is!Although they couldn't think of such an apt metaphor, it didn't stop them from cursing God.

"Daddy just fell asleep, I'll go with you." Mary stood up immediately, and went to the door to put on thick-soled wooden shoes.

"Why don't you wake up Mr. Bennett?" John was very distrustful of this 16-year-old girl.

"No, let's go." Mary had already opened her umbrella and walked straight into the rain, leaving no room for John to refuse.Before the age of six, she lived with her parents at the border, and the war horse was her best companion.When it comes to looking after horses and raising horses, that is her old profession.

Jane and Elizabeth wanted to keep up too, and had to stay behind, remembering their parents in the hospital bed and their disturbed little sister.

Going around a circle of fences, the stables are in sight, and the stench of horse manure can be smelled from a distance.John took a few quick steps and opened the heavy wooden door for Mary, with a suspicious look on his face.But soon he realized how insulting his contempt was to Miss Mary.

Not afraid of the stench in the stable, Mary walked up to a horse that kept coughing, pinched its jaw to look around, even opened its mouth to look at its teeth, and finally twisted a wisp of thick He sniffed the thick nasal fluid carefully, and finally groped under the jaw with his hand, the action was very professional.

John started to explain the situation frequently, but in the end he lost his voice.He could tell that Miss Mary was better than him, so he didn't need to talk too much.

"Go to the veterinarian, this is not influenza, but vicious equine gland disease. These horses need to be quarantined, and the stables should be thoroughly cleaned with plant ash. Call all the workers in the ranch, and act quickly!" Princess Renxiao's condescending tone subconsciously exposed.

But John didn't care at all, he ran away in a hurry.The spread of vicious horse gland disease is extremely fast. If a large number of horses in the ranch die, they will not be able to get wages or food in the second half of the year.

The workers who had no work came quickly, led the horses outside under Mary's instructions, and fenced them up for isolation.Someone brought lime and sprinkled it in the stables.This thing is obviously better than the backward plant ash.The pungent horse manure smell improved a lot immediately.The veterinarian arrived quickly.If the horse gland disease is not well controlled, it will spread like a plague and cause huge disasters to nearby manors, so he has to pay attention to it.

"Miss Mary is right, this is indeed equine gland disease!" The veterinarian turned pale after carefully observing the sick horse, and shouted, "Oh my god, I also treated Mr. Jin's horse two days ago , because it is the end of spring, I saw the horse coughing non-stop, so I took it for granted that it was influenza! I made a serious mistake!"

"I also remembered that a while ago we introduced a stallion from Mr. Jin's horse farm for breeding. Our horses started getting sick after the stallion left!" John added.

"It's still too late to correct this mistake! In the future, when horses are brought in from other places, they must be strictly inspected and quarantined for three days before they can be mixed. This is the rule!" Mary looked at John with a stern tone, then went outside, held up an umbrella and said to the veterinarian , "Sir, please follow me to Mr. Jin's manor. All the owners of the manor in Longborn must be notified."

This disease can only be completely eradicated by joint prevention and control.What is needed most at this time is concerted efforts.

The veterinarian was infected by the girl's calmness, and the uneasiness in his heart gradually subsided.The two walked for more than an hour, and when they arrived at Mr. Jin's house, they were already half-body muddy and in a panic.

"Oh my God, Mary, why are you here in this weather?" Mrs. Jin quickly invited the two into the room and made two cups of hot black tea.

"I don't have time for tea, ma'am, where is Mr. Jin? We have important things to do." Mary said straight to the point.

"What's the matter Mary?" Mr. Jin rushed over upon hearing the news.

The veterinarian quickly explained the situation, and Mr. Jin was so frightened that he almost passed out.You know, he has been treating his horses with cold medicine, and now the situation is getting worse, and one of the horses is about to die.

Patting his forehead hard, Mr. Jin barely calmed down, and even yelled and asked people to isolate the horse.He was the owner of the largest estate at Longborn, with the strongest horses, and no doubt he suffered the heaviest loss when this happened.Moreover, other manor owners always like to borrow horses from him for breeding, and this disaster will implicate many people.

"Hurry up, hurry up and inform the other manors!" Mr. Jin thanked Mary a thousand times, and then called the servants loudly.

After finally saying goodbye to the enthusiastic Mrs. Jin, Mary walked back holding an umbrella.When she arrived home, the stables had been cleaned out, each horse had been scrubbed with lime water, dosed with potions, and everything was in order.Although equine blight is highly contagious, it is not difficult to treat as long as it is under control.

Mary patrolled the pasture, relaxed, held an umbrella, and looked at the horses grazing in the distance.The gloomy sky, the emerald green grass, the scattered horses, cattle and sheep, how similar the scene in front of you is to the frontier fortress of Daxia!Thousands of memories came to her mind, and she was stunned for a moment.After a few minutes, her blue eyes suddenly flashed brightly.

A small horse farm is also a rare asset!Although most of the horses in the racecourse are low-grade mixed-blood horses, mixed-blood horses can also improve their breeds through continuous crossbreeding and become high-quality horses. This is how Daxia's war horses are bred.The remaining inferior horses can also be raised as meat horses, which is also a benefit.After several years of serious operation, she is confident that the horse farm will grow several times.

But in an instant she was sluggish again.How can it be strong?There is no male in the Bennett family, and they still make wedding dresses for others in the end!No wonder Mr. Bennett is not in the mood to take care of the property. Anyone who has worked hard will feel unbalanced if he wants to give the fruits of his hard work to others.

Is there no way to empty out the industry bit by bit?Mary stroked her chin, thinking carefully.In the Great Xia court, she had seen this kind of insidious means a lot, and used it with ease.She knows very well that as long as there are laws, there must be loopholes to exploit.But it's a pity that she is new here and unfamiliar with the place, so this idea needs to be gradually perfected.She vaguely remembered that Mrs. Bennett had a brother-in-law who was a lawyer. As a 'lawyer', she knew all kinds of education, so there should be a way to go.

However, it remains to be seen whether this uncle is worthy of trust.Anyway, British women don't hate to marry. Charlotte Lucas is 25 this year and hasn't married yet. It doesn't matter if she delays for a few years.

After finding the purpose of life, Mary's whole body glowed with a different look.She took care of her seriously ill parents while managing the property. After half a month, the Bennetts finally recovered.Seeing the beautiful account books and the greatly improved income and expenditure situation, and seeing the manor owners who came to thank the door in an endless stream, Mr. Bennett felt very complicated.

A few days later, he broke free from the inexplicable emotions and handed over the management of the property to Mary. He went out to visit friends all day long. He lived a very happy life and his relationship with his wife was greatly restored.

Since then, Mary has become the pillar of the Bennett family and is deeply trusted by her family.People in Langborn would give her a thumbs up when they talked about her.
