Because of Elizabeth's disobedience, after returning home, Mrs. Bennet gave her a long look.Of course, with Mr. Bennet's protection, Elizabeth doesn't need to care too much about her mother's reproach.

In the Bennet family, because Jane is the eldest daughter, both Mr. Bennet and Mrs. Bennet have invested considerable affection in her.When Jane was born, the relationship between the couple was in the honeymoon period, so they naturally loved the first child very much, even though she was a girl.

After Elizabeth was born, Mrs. Bennet was a little disappointed, but Elizabeth's character was loved by Mr. Bennet, who thought she was the most like himself.

The following Mary and Catherine received much less attention.Mr. Bennet needs a male heir, and Mrs. Bennet goes from the hope of each pregnancy to the final disappointment.In addition, Lydia, who was born last, looks the most similar to Mrs. Bennett, and is loved by Mrs. Bennett.So Mary and Catherine, who were caught in the middle, received the most neglect.

Among them, Catherine and Lydia have the smallest age difference, and they can play together. Of course, most of them are Catherine following Lydia.In this way, Mary in the middle is intentionally or unintentionally isolated.

Mary looked at the two sisters who were whispering together, the two younger sisters who were playing together, the mother who was talking loudly about Jane and Mr. Bingley, and the father who had been reading and ignoring his mother.

It seems that she is the only one in this family who is vaguely excluded.What she felt was endless loneliness, and she couldn't feel the care of her family.

Mary stood up and left the living room. When she walked to the door, she turned around and took a look. Sure enough, no one noticed her leaving.

"Mary?"

"Charlotte? You're back too. Jane said you might stay at Netherfield Manor for a long time." Her mother was very dissatisfied with Charlotte when she heard the news.It must be ill-intentioned to say that she wanted to stay at Netherfield Park on the strength of her brother's connection.And belittled her appearance, thinking that even if she had lived at Netherfield Manor, it would be impossible for Mr. Bingley to like her.

Mary doesn't like her mother always talking about her appearance. She thinks a person's knowledge is the most important thing.

"It's someone else's home after all. I would have gone home that day." Charlotte smiled. Albert lived in Netherfield Manor because the Lucas family didn't have any extra room for Albert.Why is she an unmarried girl always living in other people's homes.

Mary nodded, and Lizzie said Charlotte was taking care of Jane until she went.

"Mary, why are you out at this time?" It's time to eat.

"Oh, I just can't bear Catherine and Lydia's noise, so I came out for a while."

Charlotte saw that Mary wasn't telling the truth, but she didn't bother to search: "Indeed, a younger sister is a sweet burden, especially when there are two younger sisters."

Charlotte nodded in agreement: "But now it's time for dinner, Mary, you should go back to eat, see you."

"See you." Mary looked at the background of Charlotte's departure, and felt that Charlotte was completely different from before.

In the past, her impression of her was from Jane's friend to Lizzie's friend, and Charlotte, whose mother had a normal mouth.The young lady of the Lucas family who no one else can marry.

But now, Mary feels that Charlotte's every move is very confident.

Oh, of course she can be confident. If she also has a dowry of [-] pounds, Mary feels that she will definitely be more confident than Charlotte.After all, she was younger and more beautiful than Charlotte.

On the way back, Mary still imagined that she could have such a rich and generous brother.

Then after the meal, she received the bad news that the heirs of Longborn and their distant cousin would be visiting them soon.

This is a sad and depressing thing for all of them, and there is nothing more cruel than telling people that everything you own in the house you live in now does not belong to you.

Mary sincerely hoped that the heir who inherited all the property of their family would be a kind and tolerant gentleman.It's a pity that after seeing this Mr. Collins, the little extravagant hope in Mary's heart was completely extinguished.

News of the arrival of the distant heir of the Bennets was rapidly spreading through Longborn.This is the characteristic of the countryside. As long as a trivial matter happens in every family, it will be spread throughout the village, and even spread to the town.

However, this news was only lively for less than a day before it was suppressed by another matter.The eldest son of the Lucas family had just recovered and sent several carriages to the Lucas family.

Curious women and wives naturally try to find out what it is.Mrs. Lucas did not hide it, saying that it was a gift from her son to their family, and the things needed to prepare for a dance were all from London or even abroad.

"It is said that the red wine inside alone is worth several thousand pounds."

"Yes, it is said that there are several bolts of silk from Silk Country. Mrs. Lucas won't let us see them."

"My God, the Lucas family is really lucky."

"Did Sir Lucas say when they will have a banquet?"

"It is said that the banquet will be held at Netherfield Manor first. After all, their family has already held a banquet before."

"It's very nice. Longbourn hasn't seen such activity for a long time. I wish Mr. Bingley lived here all the time. Why don't they buy Netherfield Hall. It's a very beautiful house."

"I'm really looking forward to the Lucas family banquet..."

Netherfield Manor

"Earl Stirling, do you want to hold a banquet too?" Bingley asked Albert in surprise.

"Yes, this is my father's plan. It is an announcement of my official return. Although I will not change my surname to inherit the Lucas family, I am the eldest son of the Lucas family after all." Albert nodded.

Albert also knew Sir Lucas' thoughts, but it was just vanity.But this little thing, he can naturally satisfy him.

"It is said that the wine at the banquet comes from Ausone Castle."

"You know this too?" Albert was a little surprised.

"Yes, I really like the wine from Chateau Ausone, but it's hard to buy this kind of wine in the market." Benning looked at him with shining eyes, like a golden retriever who wanted to act coquettishly.

"It's just a small investment. You know, French wine is famous all over the world. If Mr. Bingley likes it, you can contact me anytime."

"Does Earl Stirling also like red wine? Which region do you like best?"

Bentley seemed to have finally found his common hobby with Albert, and was excited to have a good chat with his drinking buddies.

"Forehead."

"Oh, Bentley, don't look forward to it. Albert doesn't like drinking, he just likes to invest. He has a lot of money in Lafite Chateau, Mouton Chateau, Romanee-Conti and other wineries. investment. Just for investment!" Darcy directly stated the facts.

"Dear William, I don't like wine. I just don't drink too much. I just don't like drinking too much. I think it's a good habit." Albert looked at Darcy aggrievedly.

"Okay," Darcy found it hard to bear the look.

"This is indeed a good habit, but why do you invest in so many wineries?" Is there only wineries in France that can invest.

Because he has also heard of the names of these wineries in later generations, and they are still very famous.At least he doesn't have to worry about his investment being in vain.

"It's just a temporary idea. After all, France is the country of my adoptive father. He also had a winery under his name, but it closed down due to poor management. This is a regret he has been talking about for a long time. Because of the turmoil in France in recent years, These wineries are having a hard time, so it can be regarded as a way to make up for it.”

At this time, buying shares is the least price to pay, and when he gets the most shares, he will naturally not let it go.

Darcy and Bingley stopped asking about these things when they heard this.

However, Bentley still said that he would buy a few bottles of good quality wine from him, and Albert would naturally not refuse.He had decided to give Bentley some of the best bottles from the vast array of wines the estate had sent him.Just treat it as a reward for living here for the past few days.

Several originally empty rooms in Lucas's house have been filled with things sent by Albert.

Everyone received some presents.

"My God, this is a diamond, it's so beautiful!" Mrs. Lucas was stunned when she saw a set of diamond jewelry in the gift box.She has very little jewelry, and she bought them for some balls when Sir Lucas was the mayor.She hadn't bought jewelry since they moved to Longbourn.

As for jewelry like diamonds, she has nothing else except a ring.

Did not expect to get such a beautiful set of diamond jewelry at this age.

"God!" Charlotte also opened her gift box at this time.

"Charlotte, what is yours? Is it also a diamond?" Mrs. Lucas looked over and saw a very beautiful set of ruby ​​jewelry.

"God!"

No woman can resist the allure of diamond gems, no matter what grade she is in.

Maria and Teresa couldn't wait to open their own gift box, which was also gem jewelry but much smaller than Charlotte's.But they have never seen such jewelry.

"This is really great! Lydia will envy me." Maria said.

"My dear, all the girls in Longbourne will envy you," said Mrs. Lucas, laughing.

"But you can't wear these things out in normal times, it's too dangerous. It seems that our family needs to hire a few well-mannered servants." Mrs. Lucas looked at Sir Lucas.

Sir Lucas admiring his new Staff of Civilization.

"Of course." Sir Lucas nodded briskly.In the future, the daughter's dowry will not need to be prepared, the pressure at home will be much easier, and he can also enjoy the good life brought by his son.

As for James, just give him the property of the Lucas family.I just hope he grows up sooner.

James, who only received a whip, deeply felt that the whole person was not well.In the past, he was the baby in the hearts of his parents, but now, he is not as good as Charlotte who can't get married.

Angry, but there was nothing he could do.
