My years as a menswear boss
Chapter 118
After receiving Elizabeth's message, Ji Qiu changed the letter and sent it directly to Bingley. She decided not to intervene in the relationship between Bingley and Jane.
Elizabeth knew that Mr. Bingley had understood the situation, so she no longer worried about her sister's future. She received an invitation from her friend Charlotte.
"Liz, you don't need to waste all your time with me, Charlotte should be looking forward to your arrival."
Jane helped Elizabeth tidy up her clothes, and she carefully took stock of the things her sister needed to take away, "Help me give her all the birthday presents I prepared for Charlotte."
"Dear Jane, I really worry about you." Elizabeth sat beside Jane and watched her sister pack her suitcase. "Without me, how would you deal with Miss Bingley?"
"I'm not a child, and it's still necessary to have contacts with them after marriage. I will handle this relationship well." Jane shook her head helplessly.
Sir Lucas took his little daughter to Tianen Temple Street to pick up Elizabeth and go to Hansford together.
Collins greeted them warmly.Elizabeth saw Charlotte not far away. She couldn't agree with this marriage, but she also respected her friend's choice. At least Charlotte seemed to be doing well.
They kissed each other lightly on the cheek, and Charlotte had a gentle smile on her face, "It's great to see you, Elizabeth."
"Me too." Elizabeth held Charlotte's hand tightly.
Charlotte and Collins led a group of people to visit their house, and he talked about every corner of the room.
Elizabeth took a look, and she could see that a lot of thought was put into the layout of the place. The decoration of the whole house was Charlotte's favorite. When they were in Longbourn, they were discussing what kind of house they would like to live in in the future. .
Every time Mr. Collins introduced a place, he would add that it was far from Rosings Park.
Sir Lucas offered to visit the gardens, while Charlotte and Elizabeth remained in the room.
"Mr. Collins spends a lot of time taking care of the garden every day, and the rest of the time is visiting Rosings Manor. We only spend time in one room every night," Charlotte said.
Elizabeth looked at Collins downstairs who was displaying the pruned bushes in the garden, "Once a day?" She was surprised by the frequency of visits.
"Well, but I have to admit that I'm very happy with his behavior. As long as we don't get along for a long time, we can live in peace and spend a lot of time." Charlotte said to Elizabeth.
"He stayed in his study when Lady Catherine was away, to see when she came back, so that he might call on her.
Usually I just sit in the living room and pass the time. I enjoy the solitude and I'm used to it.Liz, I have never regretted my choice. "
If she hadn't known Lady Catherine's age for a long time, Elizabeth might not have been able to help but suspect that there was something hidden between the two of them.
Elizabeth looked at her friend's calm face, and could only hug Charlotte gently. She was not worried about Charlotte's life in the rest of her life. Charlotte was a very sober person and would not sink herself into the mud.
"Liz! Come here quickly!" Miss Lucas opened the door and waved to Elizabeth.
Elizabeth had no choice but to put down the embroidery in her hand, and followed Miss Lucas with her skirt, to the window of the living room on the first floor.
"Look, that's Miss Ann de Pole, with her nurse at her side." Miss Lucas put her head on the window sill and said, "Maybe she's here to send an invitation letter, Mr. Collins must have told us about it." Lady Catherine."
Elizabeth frowned as she watched the strong wind blowing Charlotte's body swaying, "With such a strong wind, Charlotte was made to stay there to answer the letter." She felt that this behavior was a bit rude.
"Miss Pole is indeed as weak as Mr. Collins says. She is a perfect match for Mr. Darcy."
"Where's Darcy?" Jiqiu put the billiard balls on the metal tripod, and Bentley was cleaning the cue sticks beside him.
"It is said that he is visiting his aunt, and his cousin, Colonel Fitzwilliam, is also there," Bingley said.
"Why did he suddenly want to visit?" Jiqiu was a little curious for a while, and she quickly thought of the relative of her friend, "Is it the relative of Rosings Manor?"
Bentley nodded.
Jiqiu thought that not long ago Elizabeth said in a letter that she was going to visit her friend Charlotte. As far as she knew, Elizabeth's friend married Collins, and Collins' residence was next to Rosings Manor.
'Is this a coincidence? Jiqiu thought that she had inadvertently told Darcy about it.
Jiqiu returned to the poorhouse, and just happened to meet Winston chatting with Mary. She squinted her eyes behind the two and watched their chatting in full swing. She didn't realize her arrival at all, so she had to walk away.
"Mr. Hyde, do you think Miss Mary and Mr. Winston look good?" Ms. Lan Ruisha whispered to Jiqiu.
"Well... maybe." Jiqiu responded vaguely, she looked at the couples who appeared one after another around her, and she was the only one who was single and noble.
Lan Ruisha has known Jiqiu for a long time, and she has a clear understanding of the young man's personality, so she boldly asked, "When will I hear the news of your engagement?"
"Uh...I don't have that plan for the time being, I still put my career first."
Jiqiu scratched her head. She didn't expect that the marriage urging people could be arranged from the House of Lords to the poorhouse. Facing Lan Ruisha, who was as old as her mother, she could only deal with it with a smile.
"Your career is starting, so it's understandable to have such thoughts." Lan Ruisha said, she thought of Gwendelyn who was alone in a room, "Do you plan to adopt that child? Sorry, I just can't think of a more suitable one than you selected."
"I will think about it carefully. I think adopting a child should be a two-way choice. I want to see Gwendelyn's wishes. If she is willing, I will go through the adoption procedures." Jiqiu said softly.
"That's really great!" Ranrisa looked excited, "Gwendelyn will be very happy to be adopted by you!"
Happy?Jiqiu doesn't think so, she still can't communicate with Gwendelyn, she can't see through the child's behavior, she can only deduce her mood at this time through her movements.
"How is the literacy situation of the children?" Jiqiu changed the subject.
"Ms. Mary's teaching method is very useful. The children have learned a lot, and some children have already started to read the books in the book corner." Lan Ruisha replied.
"Well, this is a very good phenomenon." Jiqiu smiled and continued, "But my goal is not only the current situation, they also need to know a lot of things."
"I think the kids will grow up the way you expect them to," Lanressa said.
Jiqiu stood in front of Gwendelyn's door. She tidied up her appearance and imitated the ritual sense of Eton's teacher.
"Good afternoon." Jiqiu knocked on the door, she heard a cough coming from inside the door, and knew that she could go in.
Gwendelyn is now sitting cross-legged on the bed, looking at Jiqiu angrily.
"I'm sorry, I'm late because of something wrong with my work this morning." Jiqiu patiently explained, and she highlighted the Greek notes she had used, "This is a bad behavior, don't study."
"Today we don't learn English, but learn Greek, and you can write a lot of amazing poems if you learn it well. It has its own charm just like Latin."
Jiqiu opened the notebook, she erased the content left over from the last class on the small blackboard, wrote the phonetic symbols in Greek, and read them out one by one with a clear accent.
Gwendolyn studied very seriously, and when she couldn't help frowning, Jiqiu would explain the content just now again.
Time passed quickly, Jiqiu looked at the sky outside the window, packed her things, and left her homework in middle school, "This is the first Greek poem I wrote, the wording is very simple, and there are English notes next to it , you can take a look if you're okay."
After Gwendelyn watched the young man leave, she jumped out of bed, took the homework book left by Jiqiu to the bed, and looked through it. The font on it was like a printer, and it was exactly the same as what she usually learned.
'I might try to say hello to him next time. Gwendolyn thought that she had done countless psychological constructions for herself, but she didn't know why she could never speak the words in front of Mr. Hyde.
"Today's cook made a lot of goulash with potatoes, and I specially reserved one for you." Lan Ruisha pushed open the door and put the dinner plate on the desk in the room.
Gwendolyn thought for a while, and said thank you in a blunt tone. After she finished speaking, she began to feel annoyed again, why her voice was so cold, which was completely different from what she had imagined.
"How do you feel today?" Ranrisa took out a comb and combed Gwendelyn's hair. She looked at the girl's delicate side face and couldn't help but sigh in her heart. Only Gwendelyn didn't speak. No one thought she would be an innocent girl. Orphans who are wanted by others will only think that this child is the daughter of a certain nobleman.
'However, Gwendoline may really be able to become the daughter of a nobleman. ' She thought of what Mr. Hyde had said today.
"What do you think of Mr. Hyde?" Ranrisa asked.
Gwendolyn didn't answer, eating the stew in silence, licking the gravy from her spoon.
"He intends to adopt you, but Mr. Hyde said that he wants to respect your choice. Only if you agree to him becoming your guardian, will he apply for adoption with Mrs. Sharp."
Ranrisa braided the blond hair beneath her hands into small braids and the rest into a bud, and she was very pleased with her workmanship.
"I don't know." Gwendolyn said softly, she put down the tableware in her hand, and the food in the plate had been eaten clean.
"I can guarantee that Mr. Hyde is definitely a qualified adopter. What you see and hear around him is something you can't see in the poorhouse now."
Ranrisa knelt down and put her hands on Gwendelyn's lap, "I want you to have a new life, a new life."
"I know, Ms. Lanrisa." Gwendelyn leaned her little head over and kissed Ms. Lanrisa on the cheek.
Elizabeth knew that Mr. Bingley had understood the situation, so she no longer worried about her sister's future. She received an invitation from her friend Charlotte.
"Liz, you don't need to waste all your time with me, Charlotte should be looking forward to your arrival."
