Chapter 106

Netherfield Manor

"I didn't expect Earl Sterling to be the eldest son of the Lucas family. It's really surprising." Mr. Bingley couldn't believe it.

Country gossip travels faster than the plague, but by the next day the whole Bentley family knows all about it.

"Human traffickers are really abominable. Didn't the children of the Lawrence family were also taken away by human traffickers before, and they haven't been found yet." Mrs. Hurst's son is already three years old. Very disgusted and hated.

"Such people should be arrested and sent to the gallows." The rare Mr. Hurst also echoed his wife.

"However, this Mr. Lucas is so lucky that he was adopted by an earl." Miss Bingley was very envious.

"Albert is very smart. I don't think an aristocrat will adopt a child indiscriminately. The reason why Albert can become this lucky one is because he himself has something that the other party likes." Darcy Said lightly.

"Darcy is right." Mr. Bingley nodded. Although the Earl basically left early and returned late in the past two days, Bingley liked the Earl very much after several meetings and conversations.

Without the arrogance of the aristocrats he saw in London, Earl Stirling was very dignified but very gentle and kind.Talking to him would make people feel very comfortable, and occasionally giving one or two suggestions would also give people a sense of enlightenment. I'm sorry for Darcy, but Bingley still silently felt that Earl Stirling was much easier to get along with than Darcy.

If only I could be friends with Lord Stirling, Bingley thought.

He could see that although Earl Sterling was gentle with everyone, he was different when he was with Darcy, and his smile was more sincere and casual.

It was obvious that Darcy was his approved friend.

"I heard that the Earl of Stirling directly gave the young lady of the Lucas family a dowry of [-] pounds. Now all the men in Longbourne want to marry that young lady." Mrs. Hurst said in a sour tone. .

"Although the dowry of [-] pounds is indeed very generous, I think marriage is not just about the woman's dowry. The most important thing is the skills that a real lady must master." Although Miss Bingley didn't think Mr. Darcy would take a fancy to Lu Miss Cass kind of average-looking girl, but the necessary vaccinations are still required.

"But Miss Lucas not only has a dowry of [-] pounds, but also a younger brother of the earl who values ​​her very much. Charles, I think you can have a good chat with this Miss Lucas, and ask her to dance one more time at the ball Dance." Mrs. Hurst felt that the present Miss Lucas was barely worthy of her brother.

Miss Bingley listened to her sister's words, although she still felt that Miss Lucas was too ordinary for Charles.But on the premise that my brother has no feelings for Miss Darcy at all, it is also possible to marry Miss Lucas.

"Oh, Louisa, what are you talking about, Miss Lucas is very nice, but she is not my true love. I would not pursue a girl because of what you said, it would be too unfair to her. "Mr. Bingley was a little angry at his sister's messy mandarin ducks.

What would he be if he went after Miss Lucas because of her dowry and her brother.

Darcy at the side let go of his frowning brows after listening to Bingley's words.

"Bingley, let me give you a piece of advice. If you don't really like the girls of the Lucas family, don't provoke them. Albert's method, believe me, you will never want to learn." Da In Spanish it was addressed to Mr. Bingley, but it was known that the words were addressed to several other persons.

Hester was a little embarrassed, but she didn't dare to refute Darcy's words.She knew that the Bingley family still needed Darcy's help.Charles is too gentle, and he can't support the whole Bingley family by himself.

"Mr. Darcy, no matter how powerful the Earl of Stirling is, his affairs will not affect England." On the other hand, Miss Bingley was a little unconvinced.

Their Bingley family also has some status in London now.

Darcy glanced at Miss Bingley indifferently, but ignored her.

Mrs. Hurst held back her sister and told her to shut up. It was not because of Darcy that the Bingley family had a place in London.Her younger sister forgot her identity after being flattered by the ladies of those small merchants.

If she could marry Darcy, she could still look up to her.

Seeing that the atmosphere in the room froze again, Mr. Bingley hastily changed the subject.

"Catherine, didn't you have a nice chat with Miss Bennett? Maybe you can write an invitation letter to Miss Bennett. Invite her to come and sit at home." Mr. Bingley, who just fell in love with Miss Bennett at first sight, Now my heart is full and I just want to see my sweetheart a few more times.

"When will I and..."

"Ahem, Catherine, the eldest lady of the Bennet family has a very good temper, we can talk to her, don't you think this place is too boring, don't you?" Mrs. Hurst winked at her sister.

"...Okay." Miss Bingley replied reluctantly.

Mr. Bingley did not see the action between his two sisters at all, and he was only thinking about how he would entertain his sweetheart when she arrived at Netherfield Manor.

"Bingley, I think you should send another invitation letter to Miss Lucas." Darcy reminded.

"Oh, yes, yes, indeed, Catherine remembers to give Miss Lucas a copy." Bingley immediately agreed to Darcy's proposal.

So when Albert came back, he knew that Mr. Bingley had invited Charlotte to Netherfield Manor tomorrow.

Albert thanked Mr. Bingley, and he decided to wait for Charlotte here tomorrow.Although I have a general impression of the two sisters of the Bingley family.But it was a good time for Charlotte to spend time with these self-important ladies.

And Albert has the idea of ​​buying the manor, let Charlotte see if he likes it.

Everyone in the Bennet family was very excited when they received the letter from Netherfield Manor, especially Mrs. Bennet. Her loud voice could blow off the roof of the living room of the Bennet family.

"Dear, dear! Mr. Bingley has invited Jane to Netherfield Park. As I said, Mr. Bingley has been smitten with Jane. My dear Mr. Bennet, I bet the two of them will see each other someday." Married. Oh, God! There was never a better match for the two of them."

"Mom." Jane was a little embarrassed.She did have a crush on the handsome and gentle Mr. Bingley, but it was a little embarrassing for her mother to say it so carelessly.

It's just that Mrs. Bennet didn't take her resistance to heart at all, and continued to talk about what happened after Jane and Bingley, and soon talked about their children.

"Although my mother's words are sometimes exaggerated to death, I have to say that this time she is right. Mr. Bingley has been fascinated by you."

"Lizzie!"

Jane didn't expect that her second sister would also come to tease herself.

"Jane, can you let Mr. Bingley give a ball at Netherfield Manor?" Lydia was not interested in Mr. Bingley, but she was very interested in the ball.

"Yes, it would be great if we could invite the militia stationed in the town." Catherine also showed a nympho expression.

"Oh, dear Lydia, that's a wonderful idea, inviting the red uniforms," ​​Mrs. Bennet echoed loudly.And she didn't shy away from saying that she also liked red uniforms when she was young.

As the only man in the family, Mr. Bennet was used to the noisy scenes of the women in the family.Most of the time he automatically blocks these sounds.

As for the Lucas family, Charlotte has completely got rid of the chores of doing housework and taking care of her younger siblings.Albert directly gave Mrs. Lucas pocket money of five thousand pounds.Let her hire more maids and servants, and arrange all the work in the house to the servants.

Money can turn ghosts around, this principle is applicable everywhere.

With such a large sum of money in her hands, Mrs. Lucas didn't feel wronged herself, and directly hired several maids.Anyway, she knew Longborn very well. She knew exactly who could be invited to work at home and who was not suitable.

After completely getting rid of the housework and young children at home, Mrs. Lucas felt younger.

At this time, the Lucas family also received an invitation letter from Netherfield Manor.

"Oh, it's the Bingley family, but the two sisters in their family are not very easy to get along with." Mrs. Lucas swallowed the food in her mouth. Afterwards, someone will bring a lot of good things, including clothes and food, and will hold another event at home. a banquet.Mrs. Lucas directly took out all the things she kept at home that she was reluctant to use before. For example, the bottle of red wine in her hand was given by others when her husband was the mayor.

After the things in the house are emptied, there is a place to put the good things sent by my son, isn't it?

Mrs. Lucas desperately recalled the etiquette she had learned in order to go to the palace with her husband to meet the king.She will be the earl's mother in the future, and she can't lose face to her son no matter what.

Mrs. Lucas also asked her daughters to follow suit.

"In the future, you may be able to meet more gentlemen from the upper class and marry real nobles. There must be no mistakes in etiquette. Otherwise, not only will you become the laughing stock of others, but your family will also be affected." Luca Mrs. Smith said privately to her daughters.

The status of the girls in the family is average, so they will not be spoiled like James.They all have plans in their hearts, and they know what to do to benefit themselves.So the girls learned etiquette from Mrs. Lucas honestly.

As for James, Mrs. Lucas didn't much care anymore.In the future, she will not rely on her youngest son for the elderly, and with the Lucas family's property, she will not be able to starve him.

What she cares about now is whether she will go to America with her eldest son after Sir Lucas dies, or whether she will go to America with her son after he finishes his business in England in a year or two.

Mrs. Lucas knew that Sir Lucas would not leave England to settle in America.

But this is not a decision that must be made immediately, she still has time to think slowly.
