[Comprehensive] The Right Way to Survive in the 19th Century

Looking at him eagerly, it seems that they should have reached some consensus before, Oliver paused, looking like a child who came to a strange place mustered up the courage to answer, "I am nine years old today, and my birthday is in October. 10th. I have been living in the poorhouse, but I just came to the poorhouse in London this year, and I was in a branch before—Mrs. Mann.” Speaking of this name, he hesitated, with an unnatural expression on his face.

In fact, they can guess in their hearts that no matter where there is no shortage of people who misappropriate orphan subsidies for their own personal gain, how many orphans can really live well, especially in such an environment.Oliver was still timid, and he decided to take the initiative by himself, so that the senses left to them were completely different.This is the best environment for him to live in. If he can stay here, he should become a legitimate heir. Moreover, the atmosphere at home is very good, especially the two older sisters, who are completely ladies.

Oliver bit his lips, but still said, "Actually, I have always been in the poorhouse, but a few days ago, I really couldn't bear it, so I escaped from there secretly, fortunately, a kind person My wife saved me, she gave me some clothes and a little money so I can come here."

With tears in his eyes, he suddenly knelt down in front of Mr. Bennet and begged: "Sir, I know you are a kind person. I don't eat much. Don't send me back anyway. Just stay in Here, you can do whatever you want me to do, for example...if I go back, I will be beaten to death by them." His body was trembling constantly, as if he had seen his own tragic end.What a poor child.

At the very least, the two older ladies were already moved. They kept looking at their father, wanting him to make a decision.In fact, Mr. Bennet was almost certain in his heart that this child was what he had been looking for.Where are there so many coincidences in this world?The age, the date of birth were about right, the woman disappeared in the late summer of that year, if she was a little premature, the date would be right.In the workhouse, yes, only this institution would accept a woman who suddenly fell to the ground. He had always thought that the woman was going to the countryside, but now that he thought about it, the direction was completely wrong.

Oliver raised his head, tears fell down, "Sir, please leave me, I have never seen my mother, she died after giving birth to me, leaving no news, the workhouse has been Searching for my family has never been fruitful. Sir, as long as I can stay here, I will definitely work very hard."

Mr. Bennet also made up his mind, he gently lifted Oliver, and said to him gently: "Oliver, no, no, no, I will not let you be my servant." He gently narrated a past event, In this matter, he will not hide the child in front of him. In the future, he needs to choose by himself.

"I had a younger brother before. He has passed away. He fell in love with a lowly maid without permission and left the house. I was very angry and broke off contact with him. When I saw him again , only had time to see him for the last time, this is the regret of my life. And the woman who was with him disappeared, and I have not seen her since I came to the place where he lived. Also from their neighbors, I just found out that she had been pregnant for a long time, and after that day, she disappeared from the world. After that, I never heard from her and the child again. Until today, I always think that the child is dead. "

Mr. Bennet looked at him affectionately, and opened his hands. Oliver couldn't control his excitement, and he stammered: "Sir... Sir, what do you mean, I am your nephew? "

With tears in his eyes, he threw himself into Mr. Bennet's arms. He never imagined that he could see his relatives and grow up in a safe and happy environment. Until now, he thought everything was just a dream. Full of unreality. Reality.Mr. Bennet wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said firmly: "No, starting today, you are both your father's child and my adopted son, and I will officially adopt you. From now on, we will be a family. "

Mrs. Bennet is also very excited. This child is only nine years old this year, and they rescued him from a nightmare environment. Even if Mr. Bennet unfortunately passes away early in the future, he will treat himself well .This is much better than giving away this family property to strangers for nothing.Thinking of this, her expression towards Oliver became more sincere. She waved her fan and said hastily, "Honey, we haven't introduced our daughter, Oliver's sisters yet."

It is not difficult to tell them apart. The eldest sister Jane is always gentle and kind, but a little too gentle.The second sister, Elizabeth, looks very smart, she is a very assertive and eloquent girl.The third sister, Mary, is the least beautiful of the five sisters. She looks a bit rigid and stubborn, like a complete nerd.The fourth sister, Catherine, has a weak sense of existence, and she seems to be unable to find her place in this family.As for the last, the youngest daughter Lydia, her personality is most similar to that of Mrs. Bennet, she is a little more frivolous, and her character is too naive to see her position clearly.

However, Oliver still smiled and greeted them all together, and the atmosphere seemed harmonious.However, Lydia is already a 14-year-old girl, and today she is particularly tired of being in Mrs. Bennet's arms. This is a naked show off, showing her position in the heart of her mother, it is very simple and rude A way to arouse the envy of others.As expected, she only had one face that she could still see.Oliver took another look at Jane and Elizabeth. They were still much more beautiful, especially in their connotations. No wonder they could only marry a messy man in the end. Character determines fate.

Oliver immediately discovered that something extraordinary appeared in his mind. After nine years of experience, he was convinced of his flashes of inspiration, and he never missed them. It seems that these young ladies The future is not easy. Marrying a sister is also an imminent problem.Spring, where are you?

Mrs. Bennet had already asked the servants to clean the empty room at the moment she was sure. They had a lot of things to do, for example, the clothing problem. Poor little Oliver must only be wearing this when he comes here , Those clothes are too ordinary, how can Mr. Bennett wear them all the time.Mrs. Bennet said decisively: "Oliver, you will go to the street with me tomorrow, and I will help you choose some clothes."

Sister, Jane is always so caring, gentle and gentle, she looked at Oliver with kindness in her eyes, "Mom, I will go with you tomorrow, we can buy some fabrics and make them ourselves, I think there are some things, we Doing it yourself is much better than their craft."

The author has something to say: This chapter is also called Happy Life with Five Sisters. It’s a mess. What’s the matter with the remaining three? I gave it away for nothing, okay?

☆、Important educational issues

As soon as this was mentioned, Mrs. Bennet quickly changed the subject, and began to discuss with great interest, what color looks better on Oliver, and which cut is more suitable for his figure. Whenever such topics arise, men can always Back off a little bit, this is not the time for you to play.Oliver glanced at Mr. Bennet, and silently changed places with him, so that these excited ladies sat together.

Lydia said without hesitation: "Mom, you must take me with you tomorrow. After I came back, I found out that there are still things I forgot to buy. You must take me with you." She quickly joined the discussion In the midst of this, she started to talk about her own views on clothing. Is this the only thing in her mind? It can be clearly reflected without communicating with her.Oliver couldn't help but began to worry, could such a young lady really get married?

Jane and Elizabeth were still very persistent, and they immediately rejected Lydia's little request, "Lydia, we are very short on time tomorrow, and we can't hang out with you on the street together, and, Lydia, what are you doing today? You just came back from there, I remember, you still have some things to do."

Elizabeth quickly sat beside her and continued: "Lydia, let's sing and play the piano together at home tomorrow. Isn't it good to let Jane and mother do these things, we can also find a lot of fun here Yes. Lydia, don't you think your new ribbons are very suitable for your hat and skirt, and we can try them tomorrow."

The heat here has cooled down a bit, and Mr. Bennett feels that he can raise some practical issues, such as education.He coughed and asked Oliver seriously, "Oliver, you know, since I have treated you as my child, you must receive a certain education, enough knowledge to match your status. So, I have to find out about your level of knowledge and how much you have learned. Only in this way can I arrange future plans."

He encouraged Oliver to speak out his thoughts boldly. This gentleman is indeed a very good person. For the first time, he felt that what Thurbant said was true and correct. It was really good luck for him to find such a kind man people.He thought for a moment before saying, "I don't know what my level of knowledge is. You know that in the workhouse, no one taught us how to read or anything. My only If the teacher is a dilapidated and incomplete dictionary, the only book I have read is the Bible."

There was a bit of bitterness in his smile, and Mr. Bennet immediately said: "In this case, you should rest for a few days first, and then I will teach you. After you have a certain foundation, I will send you to a regular school. Oliver , I hope you can understand, this is for your future, as a qualified gentleman..."

At this point, he had no objection at all, and Oliver happily agreed, "Okay. Mr. Bennett, I am very happy. I have always wanted to study hard before, and books can tell us too much. , it’s just a mystery, you can never really solve it. It’s amazing. It can always take you on a new journey.” As he spoke, he showed a little embarrassment, and looked at the few A sister said shyly: "I hope that by then, my learning speed will not be too far behind my sisters."

Mrs. Bennet said bluntly: "No, my master didn't receive their education, and they all followed suit to learn to be a lady." There was a kind of pride in her tone, also, in this place of Braun, Everyone knows that Mrs. Bennet has five beautiful daughters.

Oliver showed a little confusion on his face and didn't understand at all, "Mrs. Bennet, why didn't my sisters go to school to study? I think this is a very important thing. Reading can make people wise, cultivate people's temperament, and make people feel better." People are more aware of their position. Why not let them receive an orthodox education."

Mr. Bennet was stunned for a moment, and he explained with some embarrassment: "Oliver, you are a boy, and boys and girls are completely different in terms of education. This is out of our own considerations, and, look , Jane and Elizabeth, aren't they also very good?"

However, on this issue, Oliver has the spirit of breaking the casserole and asking the end. He persisted and asked: "No, in my opinion, the self-cultivation of a lady is also very important. If sisters can have better Self-cultivation, they can marry to a better place. Even if they can’t study in a regular place, they can hire a tutor. It’s good to just learn a musical instrument or art. I’ve heard others say, find A good governess is getting cheaper and cheaper these days." He looked at Mr. Bennet expectantly, and he was beginning to waver visibly.

Lydia yelled recklessly, "Mom, I don't want a tutor here. I have enough things to do every day, so I don't want to continue studying. I won't be able to use them later."

As soon as Mr. Bennet pressed his eyes, the little girl became more and more outrageous, especially in the frivolous character.No, she is only 13 years old this year, and there is still room for improvement.At this moment, he made up his mind in his heart that he must invite a governess to his home, but he didn't waste tens of pounds just to keep Lydia's personality calm.

Thinking of this, he rubbed his temples a little tiredly, and handed it back to them. Mr. Bennet walked into his study room. Now, only here can he get a trace of tranquility.

Early the next morning, Mrs. Bennet woke up energetically. Her sharp voice echoed in the room, and Oliver was soon disturbed. Fortunately, he was completely used to getting up early. At this time , the spirit seems pretty good.They had breakfast quickly, and Mrs. Bennet took him and Jane out excitedly.

On the way, she kept chattering about her plan. To be honest, it gave Oliver a headache. Is this the challenge for him to live here? I hope this lady will not always shout about her fragile nerves, her The nerves are much stronger than the average person.

In the Mercedes-Benz carriage, they finally came to that street again. Standing here for just one day, Oliver still felt that things were right and wrong. Today, he is also a man who has a little money in his pocket and can become a rich man. up.There is still a little excitement. At this time, he has forgotten a wise saying, never go shopping with a woman, you will only regret it.

He was almost dragged into the only tailor's shop on the street by Mrs. Bennet, and it was also the best one. As soon as they entered, a slightly bloated woman greeted him with a smile, her face was full of hair. Smiling, looking at Mrs. Bennet like seeing a pile of pounds.She said very courteously: "Mrs. Bennet, you came here because there was something wrong with the previous skirt, or you still want to buy new clothes. I remember that you have been here yesterday. How about today... ..."

Mrs. Bennet pulled Oliver out from behind her, and said with a smile: "No, no, today I bought it for him. This is really a miracle. This is a new member living in our family, Oliver Bennett, he is my lord's brother's own child, we just brought him back from London yesterday, it's really..."

She clutched her chest, fanned herself desperately, and couldn't contain her excitement, "Who would have thought that our relatives who had been separated for almost ten years could come back to us? Give him the property, and I don't want to fall on a messy person. Anyway, I still know his father. Dana is really a gentleman. If he is still with us, then What a joy it is."

Oliver has completely turned into a clothes hanger, and the ruler walks around him, recording his every measurement.Jane was not idle, she quickly found two or three sets of clothes suitable for him, looking at the back, the fabric where her eyes rested, this is a long war, Oliver, you must hold on , Victory is ahead, and there is a long way to go.

I have to say that what happened today was enjoyable for the two ladies, but it was completely torture for him.The lady was still flattering Mrs. Bennet, "Oh, this is really a wonderful thing. If I am asked to give property to a distant relative, I might as well give it to someone close to me. Ben Lucky you, Mrs. Nate, and Jane, who is one of the most beautiful girls in Longbourne, and will have great fortune in her future."

Occasionally, there is a sentence, "Oh, Mrs. Bennet, look at this piece of material. This is a new product that has just arrived today. The weather will cool down soon, and the breathable material will be needed soon." It is simply a prelude to suffering.

At this moment, Oliver sincerely wanted to say, please God give him a stool, as long as it can put his little half of the body down, and let him gallop freely on it for a while.He desperately hopes that he is a cargo that can store him temporarily, as long as he doesn't walk with them anymore. Will such slender ankles feel tired? This is simply one of the top ten mysteries in the world.

The author has something to say: Every bloody fact tells us that we should never underestimate the fighting power of women. ps: Every time I go out with my mother, I really hope that I will be registered first. It doesn't matter if I get thrown away, I can find a home.

☆ Stories with bizarre twists and turns

Finally, their shopping ended after noon. Oliver went through a long battle, wore new clothes, and embarked on the journey home. , those who can live in it, I only need to pay, the study is really a fairyland on earth, it is worth going in and visiting all the time.

By the time they had been discussing the issue of clothing today, Oliver had become numb. At the resting place where the ladies rested, he very consciously said that he could tell them some small stories about his previous hearsay in London.He cleared his throat and solemnly said: "The stories I told are all true. These are all from the bloody reality at the top. Please don't laugh it off. It happens to us."

Elizabeth smiled and said, "Okay, Oliver, if you speak well today, I will read to you for an hour every night for a month, no matter what kind of book it is."

This reward is really good. Elizabeth has a wide range of reading and her voice is also very good. It can be said that she is the most suitable reader for bedtime reading. The most important thing is that she can solve small grammar mistakes for herself. Please Forgive a hard-working child who can only learn by himself.You can't ask him too much, especially grammar, which is a maze, a great challenge, and it takes time to let it settle and ferment.

Oliver smiled, "Very good, Elizabeth." He raised his eyebrows quite complacently, trying to pretend to be a little flirtatious, but because of his age, he looked extra cute, "Dear second sister, your next year's time I have booked them all, you must know that the only meaning of life for many middle-aged women at the bottom is what some neighbors have heard, and listening to their conversations, you can grasp almost all the changes in the city of London."

He cleared his throat and began to say, "Every lady is looking forward to a handsome gentleman who will suddenly come to this family one day, like a prince, and save herself from a difficult life. They always think that love must be It will come suddenly at a certain time, and then, it will be the happiness of a lifetime. However, all these are just fairy tales written by the victors, and the reality I have heard is much more terrifying, and it is simply horrible."

Such an opening was really intriguing. Even Mrs. Bennet temporarily stopped what she was doing and began to listen carefully. She always liked such topics very much.Oliver officially began to say: "This happened three years ago. I didn't hear the final ending until I left London. It's really embarrassing. The beginning of everything is the so-called beautiful love. It’s always a cliché story in this part, where the gentleman and the lady meet, and then, they fall in love and decide to be together. But, they suffer from a dilemma.”

Lydia said without hesitation: "It must be that girl's family firmly disagreed with them being together, and then they decided to elope together, what a romantic story!" She has no resistance to romantic people at all, how deadly weakness.

Oliver shook his head and said sadly: "No, you're only half right, they eloped. But, from that day on, that girl's parents severed ties with her, and they would never allow that girl to smear their family like this Glory. The story really begins here, they were able to live happily together at first, but gradually, everything went wrong."

"The problem of money has always troubled them. In their previous lives, they were used to being extravagant. In just two months, they used up all their money. That young lady has always been pampered, and she didn't learn musical instruments well. At most I just read two more books, but how can others look for a tutor like her? What they need is a more professional and responsible person. And that gentleman, he used to be able to comfortably Convinced into a theological position, because it fell through. Other than that, he doesn't have any special skills."

Oliver spread his hands, "What a suitable couple! Soon, they fell into a predicament, and more importantly, their reputations have been ruined. Who would want to associate with someone who betrayed the family and eloped. In other words, they have been completely abandoned, and they no longer exist in the family. The subsequent development is a matter of course, and their relationship soon broke down. "

Lydia shouted recklessly: "How is it possible, the love between them has deteriorated so quickly, shouldn't they work hard, and then..."

"And then become a big success, impressing their family from then on?" Oliver said sarcastically, "Lydia, this is reality, not a fairy tale world, and the price of elopement is extremely painful, unfortunately, for most young people nowadays To me, they are nothing without the protection of their parents. Success is not just a few words on the lips.”

It was the first time that Catherine cared so much about the final outcome of this story. She had always envied Lydia in her heart, but she still had many worries.Oliver's face froze for a moment, but he still said it: "The ending after that is too dirty. It's a bit dirty." He glanced at Jane and Elizabeth as if asking for help. Obviously, they also want to know what the final ending of this is, Mr. Bennet never mentioned such things in the family.

Oliver took a deep breath and said it anyway. They will know sooner or later, even if they see it with their own eyes, they are the only ones who don't know about this kind of filth. Taking a precaution now is not a bad thing. "The gentleman then swept up their remaining finances one morning and jumped on a ship bound for the United States. By the way, he was funded by a young widow. After that, there was no news. The little . My sister has no choice, she can only use the only thing she has left to make money - beauty. Well, my sisters, today's story is over."

They all understood the unfinished meaning in Oliver's words, which was already clear.For a while, they turned their faces away and pretended that they didn't hear anything.For a while, the atmosphere became harmonious again, but one thing, Oliver was very sure, today's story had already planted a seed in their hearts, and that was enough.He will get up early tomorrow morning to follow Mr. Bennet to London to find Mr. and Mrs. Gardiner, who play a very important role in Oliver's official status.

Oliver went upstairs first and returned to his room. He really needed to go to bed early. Children who go to bed too late will not grow taller. After 10 o'clock is the time for hormone secretion. Becoming a third-class disabled, with such a good genetic base, he can grow to 180 no matter what.

He threw himself heavily, and lay on the bed on his back, feeling that life is extremely difficult, at least five older sisters must be married off properly, thinking about it this way, he felt even more courageous, sister They are full of fantasies about love, so how can they become independent and capable new women in the new century.

Serbant crawled out slowly, laid leisurely on his pillow, and asked curiously: "Where did you hear the story you told today? I can be sure that in your previous life, you have never encountered Such a story." His tone was very firm, and his smug little expression was really hateful, and it was worth a good beating.

But, in a way, he was right.Oliver moved his body, and continued: "I didn't hear it from humans, but it doesn't mean that I have other news channels."

His expression was very upright, as if he was just describing how nice the weather is today.He rubbed his shoulders and changed to a more relaxed posture. "This is a true. True portrayal of King Kate's family. I never dreamed that such a shrewd person would have such a descendant who goes out without a brain and faints when he sees beauty."

"I just adapted it a little bit, and the other main plots are basically correct. A cat came from somewhere outside, just abducted his daughter and eloped like this. You know Kate's character. When she gets angry, she will kill her." She was kicked out completely, took back her ability to speak English, and turned back into an ordinary cat. Then, the male cat climbed up and left by itself, and was killed by the so-called cat-loving owner. She was tortured to death. His daughter seemed to have died of dystocia when she was giving birth to her 8th child. At the end of the story, you also think it's bloody."

"I wouldn't be surprised if anything weird happened in their house. This is their style." Oliver curled his lips. This was what Allen told him with a gossip mentality back then. It was like a thunderbolt.Pursuing love, the poor princess cat who died tragically for love, did it all by herself.

Thrabant agreed deeply, and nodded, "From the past, their blood has been filled with madness and paranoia, no matter what generation they are." His memory went back to the past, and there was always a stubborn black cat who wanted to A hole was gnawed out of his scales just because I glanced at him when I passed by him!It's just a snake spirit disease.For this matter, he was watched by those bastards for so long as if he was watching a monkey show!

Oliver closed his eyes and sincerely hoped that he would be able to finish these things smoothly when he returned to London tomorrow. The most important thing is not to encounter any weird things. He really just wants to do a Quiet orphan, really, just give him a little nook.

The author has something to say: I just took one more look at you in the crowd, and I can never forget your face again...

In today's situation, I sincerely beg all the parents who live and eat to give me a chance to change every day.Also, beg for comments, the author will die if you don't comment.

☆、Meet Cerberus

It's a new day, and today he is still so energetic. Oliver silently removed Sebant from his neck. It should be said that he didn't have any intentions for his neck, otherwise, when he wakes up in the morning, maybe It's another tragedy.Waking up like this every day, he would celebrate in his heart that his life was saved.

After a pleasant breakfast, Mr. Bennet took Oliver into the carriage to London. During this period, Mr. Bennet thought it was necessary for them to have a formal conversation between men.Watching the scenery of Langborn gradually receding behind him, all the little confrontations can also be brought up a little bit.

Mr. Bennet sighed, and said dignifiedly: "Oliver, I know you are a very mature child, and we can talk about some things straight to the point. In fact, in my heart, I still have doubts about your identity. We don't have any way to confirm your identity. Your mother's news is like smoke, appearing and disappearing, I think you can understand what I said."

Oliver said earnestly, "I understand what you mean. I have had a lot of guesses, but the most likely one is that she herself is a black household. In this way, she cannot provide any guarantee. If, I've been wandering the way I was before, and I'm going to be a ghost, for real."

Mr. Bennet nodded, "I'll just say it directly, even though I still have doubts in my heart, after today, no matter what, I will treat you as my brother's son through and through. From the perspective of my adopted son, everything after my death will be handed over to you without any reservation. You understand what I mean, and from today onwards, I will not allow you to have any doubts in your heart. You are my adopted son, Oliver · Bennett."

Oliver smiled, looked in the direction of Longborn, and said without hindrance, "I understand very well. ——Father, mother and sisters, I will take good care of them, sincerely. I will also treat them as my real family, after all , in the previous life, I have always been alone, they love me, I will not let you down. Dear father. "

Mr. Bennet put down a big stone heavily in his heart. Compared with that distant relative, it is more reassuring to leave it to him. At least, he still has a little gratitude for their care in his heart.This is a gamble. However, at this time, he has no chance to retreat, and can only strive forward. Whether it is good or bad, let's wait and see.

They soon arrived at the residence of the Gardiner couple. Mrs. Gardiner was a gentle and kind woman who cared about all the younger generations, exactly as described by Elizabeth and the others.It's just that Mrs. Bennet and her are not too speculative. After all, it is inevitable that Mrs. Philip is always by her side.

Oliver narrowed his eyes, and wrapped around Mrs. Gardiner very cutely, "Ma'am, your beauty is really unforgettable." He kissed the back of Mrs. Gardiner's hand seriously.

For ladies, compliments from younger boys will make them more happy, but what he said is not a complete lie. However, even after forty years old, she is still well-maintained, compared with Mrs. Bennet, Her unique temperament is refreshing.Sure enough, it's better for women to have connotations.

Mrs. Gardiner hugged him pitifully and said: "Mr. Bennet, you are really lucky. Just at home, an heir can fall to you from the sky. Seeing Oliver's appearance, I thought to myself I'm going to go out and look for it. He is really a caring and good boy."

Mr. Gardiner coughed twice, and said solemnly, "Honey, we still have to move faster. If we can finish everything this afternoon, we still have a lot of time to catch up." Mr. Bennet said very Wisely brought Oliver to the door, put on his coat, the standard go-out attire, it should be foolproof.

Mrs. Gardiner stood at the door, smiling gently at them, so beautiful, she bathed in the few sunshine in London, and said to them: "Come back early." Anyone who saw it would feel their own I feel better too.

I have to say that if you want to live a good life, it is very necessary to temporarily attach yourself to the two gentlemen with rich life experience.At least, many things that seem extremely difficult to you are nothing more than a few exchanges for them.Mr. Gardiner looked at the materials in his hand and said firmly: "Brother-in-law, to make Oliver's identity perfect, we must
