"Mr. Bennett, I didn't expect to meet you here." It was Mrs. Brown who came with two servants. It seemed that she came to the town to do some shopping.This Mrs. Brown is over 40 years old, and she is quite enthusiastic, but she is more gossip, and knows a little about everyone's affairs, so James is most afraid of people like Mrs. Brown. Let's chat, to put it bluntly, I'm afraid I'll listen to Mrs. Brown for a while.

"Hello, Mrs. Brown, the weather is really nice today, isn't it?" James immediately put on a smile, and if you look closely, you can see that this is a superficial smile. This is James' experience in dealing with businessmen in the past few years. Learned, so whenever he meets someone who really can't smile, James will show this smile. "Then Mrs. Brown came to town to shop?"

"Who says it's not? The weather is really nice today, and I haven't been to the town for a long time, so I can walk around, or I won't be able to walk if I want to when I get old." Mrs. Brown sighed exaggeratedly.

James complained, you haven't been in town for a long time?Nima, I also heard the servant at home gossip yesterday that she went to the town to buy a lot of clothes, saying that she wanted to dress up her daughter well so that she could find a good husband.

"Hey, Mr. Bennett, are you going to open a shop in the town? What kind of business are you going to do?" Mrs. Brown pointed to the shop behind her.

You should have known it already, and asked.I thought so, but James still told her well what he was going to do. "I'm going to sell pastries. Ma'am, you must come to visit more often. On the day my store opens, everything is [-]% off." Pass it on, I've been here with you for so long, and you too You should help me a little bit, the best thing is that everyone who spreads it knows, it's really a free advertisement.

"Really, that's great. I'll definitely come." Elderly women, what they like most is to hunt down priced things together.

"Mr. Bennet is so young to have such a big business. Do you remember Miss Letty who danced with you at the ball that year? She also married a small landowner, But the person she married is not a good one. It seems that she has recently become addicted to gambling and is about to sell her family property. Poor Miss Letty, why did she fall in love with him at the beginning? She must have been cheated. You two What a good match, if I hadn't made a wrong choice at the beginning, I wouldn't be like this."

James thought about it, and finally remembered who Miss Letty was in the corner.It turned out that when Miss Letty first stepped into the social circle, she was beautiful and got the most requests from many people, and he was one of them. Even though he didn't do it, the previous things should be remembered on him. .

"Poor Miss Letty, she is still pregnant. I heard that she was so angry that she almost had a miscarriage."

How can there be so much gossip about Mrs. Brown, and it's all about him.

Seeing that Mrs. Brown wanted to continue talking, James hurriedly found an excuse to slip away.

Mrs. Brown regretted that she had finally seen Mr. Bennett, and she still had a lot to say, but seeing Mr. Bennett's appearance was indeed busy enough. Anyway, they were all in the same town, and I would still be there in the future. There is a chance.Look again, my daughter has also come out, so I just stand there and wait for her to come over.

"Have you seen the right clothes?" Mrs. Brown asked. Her daughter looks good, and if she wears beautiful clothes, she will definitely marry a rich man. A few days ago, her sister said that she would take her daughter to live in London for a while. You must seize this opportunity.

"No, I've seen a lot of people wearing the same clothes, I don't want to be the same as others. Did mom see someone just now, and walked out in such a hurry."

Speaking of this, Mrs. Brown happily told her daughter, "I just saw Mr. Bennett. You see, Mr. Bennett opened a shop in the town. You see how capable Mr. Bennett is, and he bought so many They said they wanted to open a pastry shop. I heard that Mr. Bennett also has an industry in London. Why didn’t you know that Bennett would be so capable in his life? Otherwise, I would let you My sister married him, what a pity, I heard that Mr. Bennet’s income is at least 6000 pounds a year now. It’s really cheap now Mrs. Bennet, didn’t she just look a little more beautiful back then.”

Miss Brown listened silently by the side, envious of Mrs. Bennet in her heart. A group of her good sisters said that Mrs. Bennet was very lucky to marry a capable Mr. Bennet.

"Daughter, don't worry, mother will definitely dress you up beautifully, and you will marry a rich man." Mrs. Brown said firmly and confidently.

"En." Miss Brown nodded shyly.

On this end, James finally got rid of Mrs. Brown. He is really a terrible person. When I see her in the future, I must leave before she finds out, and I will never do it again.If they meet in the future, it will be troublesome to talk about their love history in front of their wives and children.But, James, do you think it’s okay if you don’t see Mrs. Brown? Wouldn’t Mrs. Brown say it in front of Mrs. Bennet? According to Mrs. Bennet’s gossip, maybe the two of them will meet in the future , It will shake out everything about you before, how much of it you haven't done, it's just a matter of gossip.

But now James is just thankful that he escaped, and still has lingering fears.

James was not in the mood to go shopping, and immediately boarded the carriage. He had never been so happy in the carriage.

James got out of the carriage as soon as he got home. He wanted to go home immediately to see Jane and Elizabeth, lovely daughters. He asked for comfort and touch.Now only his beloved daughter can heal his wounded heart.

"Father, you're back?" Jane saw James, jumped over happily, and smeared heavily on his face. James was healed immediately when he saw Jane. It's not in vain that I love you so much, it's my auspiciousness Things, this idea was rippling in James's heart.

"Baby, Dad is back, tell Dad, what are you doing at home?" James kissed Jane's white and tender bun face hard, making Jane's face blush before letting her go.It's better to be my own daughter.

"Jane has been learning to read and remember 20 words today, Dad." Jane raised her chin proudly, her eyes aimed at James, praise me, praise me.

James thinks about it, since when did it start, her daughter looks really good-looking, those brats should go away!

"Well, yes, Jane is the best. Come and see your sister with Dad. I don't know if your sister misses Dad." James has a gentle face, and now he feels that it is extremely wise to find an excuse to slip away. , Compared with listening to Mrs. Brown's gossip, being with his daughter makes James extremely relaxed.

"But, Dad, my sister can't talk yet. You said that my sister will only talk when she grows up, and then she will tell Dad that she doesn't miss you." Jane corrected James seriously. Jane said that she is a good child, and Mom and Dad said I will try my best to remember it.

"Dad knows, but when Dad goes out, maybe Liz will laugh. Have you ever seen Liz laugh?" James replied shamelessly and perfunctorily, before changing the subject.But apparently successful.

Jane was very surprised and said: "Yes, then let's go quickly, really quickly, I was not smiling when I went to see Liz just now, and I was still sound asleep." After finishing speaking, she ran away.

Elizabeth has moved back to Mrs. Bennet's current room. When she entered, Elizabeth was crying, and Mrs. Bennet was shaking her arms gently while singing an unknown song.Slowly Elizabeth stopped crying, but fell asleep again. Jane was very disappointed, her sister didn't smile, and she didn't know if she would.

So Jane asked Mrs. Bennet, "Mom, have you seen your sister smile?"

Mrs. Bennet put Elizabeth on the bed, and she couldn't be hugged and coaxed all the time. It would be bad if she got into the habit of being hugged all the time, just like the children next door, who have to be hugged all night to be quiet. Otherwise, I would tear my throat and cry violently, causing the whole family to sleep badly, so it's better to be my own child.It has to be said that Mrs. Bennet is the same as James. Children are always good for themselves, even if they learn badly, they are always led by other children. They are both extreme partiality masters.

"You child, your sister is still young." Mrs. Bennet pulled Jane and held her in her arms, but looked at James. Is this what you said again?

James touched his nose, didn't he know that.He silently looked at Mrs. Bennet, conveying the meaning, good lady, help me get through this first.

Seeing James subdued, Mrs. Bennet was taken aback.

"My dear, your sister sometimes laughs, but she doesn't make a sound. It will take two or three months before she can giggle like you, baby." Mrs. Bennet paused, recalling Jane's childhood. "You grinned when you were just born, but you didn't smile. When my mother watched you sleep, she didn't know what dreamed of something happy, so she smiled a few times. Wait until you are three months old. , when your father and I tease you, you laugh very happily."

James obviously remembered it too. At that time, he was lying on the bed with Mrs. Bennet foolishly waiting for Jane to laugh. Well, Jane seemed to laugh six times that night.

Jane laughed when she heard that she would know it in ten days, so her sister should be about the same.In the next few days, Jane stayed by Elizabeth's side whenever she had time, and she wanted to see how the children laughed.

The way she was standing by the bed, waiting, instantly made Mrs. Bennet cute, and when she hugged Jane, she rubbed her for a while.But with Jane's company, Mrs. Bennet felt that confinement was not so uncomfortable.Jane really is the mascot of healing.
