After a simple supper, Mrs. Gardiner sent the children to bed early, before the grown-ups got together again to discuss today's guests.

"Fortunately, I used to live in Derbyshire when I was young, and I also visited the Pemberley of Darcy's house, so I can finally chat with Mr. Darcy," Mrs. Gardiner seemed relieved at last, "this Fitz When Mr. William came in, his expression was really frightening. How could such a kind person, old Mr. Darcy, bear such a defiant son."

"I thought they'd leave before ten minutes," Mr. Gardiner also shook his head, "but Mr. Darcy is by no means the most arrogant man of his class I've ever met, and, besides, I think Mr Darcy softened a little as they were about to take their leave."

"I think so, too," agreed Mrs. Gardiner. "I think he came only to prove to Mr. Bingley how good-for-nothing we are, and I don't think he could have done that."

"Oh, dear aunt," laughed Mary, "we are lucky to have relatives like you and uncle."

No matter what the three of them said, Jane always sat by the side without saying a word. Mrs. Gardiner couldn't wait and kept winking at Mary. Obviously, it was most appropriate for her to introduce the topic.

Mary was naturally happy to undertake such a task, so she asked her sister with a smile if Mr. Bingley had mentioned when we would meet again. She must know that Mr. Darcy would have to see the family again.

"Mr. Bingley is going to have a dance at home," Jane said with the same expression. "Maybe next month. He said he would invite uncle and aunt."

Everyone was delighted by the news, and Mrs. Gardiner gave Mary an encouraging look, looking like she wanted to hear more.

Mary would have liked to inquire about the letter, but her aunt probably guessed a little, and her uncle probably knew nothing, so she asked her sister whether Mr. Bingley had explained his Why did he suddenly leave Netherfield, and his sisters said he was going to quit the lease.

"Oh, he didn't say that," Jane smiled, "but he seemed to indicate that he planned to go back to live in the spring, so I introduced him to some places near the village that are worth visiting in the spring."

So the family on Tian'en Temple Street could finally go to bed contentedly, and Mary followed her sister back to the bedroom before she had the chance to ask about the letter.

"Hasn't Mr. Bingley wondered why a letter appeared out of nowhere?" she asked, laughing.

"He just said that he didn't know I came to London until he received that letter," Jane said with an unconcealable smile on her face, "he probably doesn't know that his sisters are hiding the news from him, Bin Mr. Gray has always been big and general, and he pays little attention to these details."

Mary knew that this was also an advantage in her sister's eyes, so she didn't say anything more. Mary was concerned about whether her sister would buy something for the upcoming ball, but Miss Bennet insisted on waiting until she received the invitation. make plans.

The next day, Mary took some time to update Shuya with the latest developments. The house-elf was trembling with excitement when he mentioned that Mr. Bingley had invited Jane to the ball.

"Oh, Miss Bennet, don't think that I have been doing these jobs in the hospital, but I know everything about the inner house. Let me help your sister conjure up beautiful clothes and jewelry. I will definitely make her a beautiful woman at the prom." The brightest girl."

"Shuya, my sister is a Muggle, and the people she associates with are also Muggles," Mary repeated several times before the house-elf calmed down. development told her.

As for Jane, she will certainly write to Elizabeth about all this, and they soon received a letter from Elizabeth, and her itinerary to visit Mrs Collins in Kent with Sir William Lucas and his second daughter Maria has been fixed. After that, the group will stay in London for one day in early March. Mr. Gardiner kindly invited Sir Lucas to stay at home.

Mrs. Gardiner prepared a sumptuous and exquisite banquet, which was highly praised by Sir Lucas, who had memorized several letters from Hansford Parsonage, so he had nothing to worry about. He has been introducing the happy life of the eldest daughter to the master's family, and counting on everyone to agree with his boast, Miss Lucas really has a good relationship.

Jane and Elizabeth sat together, and the two of them naturally had endless conversations.Mary can only chat with Maria for a few words. The second lady of the Lucas family speaks plainly. She only lives in a few nearby villages. She talks about what happened in the village. She said Mary didn't know at least half of those people.

However, when she mentioned a Mr. Wickham, Mary paid attention, because she said that this gentleman was so handsome that all the ladies in the town were fascinated by him. Mary wanted to know if this gentleman was more handsome than Mr. The Knight brothers.

But what Maria Lucas wanted to say was another matter. This Mr. Wickham actually fell in love with the second lady of the Bennet family earlier. She regretted it greatly, and said how agreeable Mr. Wickham was, and how he had now moved on to Miss King, whom Mary knew, and who she could not think of above Elizabeth. , couldn't help asking several times, and then forced Maria to remember that this Miss Jin had just inherited an inheritance of [-] pounds.

Mr. Gardiner arranged a rich program for the guests, and they had to go to the theater in the evening. Mary didn't want to go at all, so she excused that she would go back early to accompany "cousin", so she took her leave and left.

Her work in St. Mungo's has entered a step-by-step stage, and it's the weekend again, and the weather improves, so she doesn't plan to go to Tianen Temple Street anymore. It just so happened that Charlie Dawn came to ask her again if she would like to accompany him. Shop for housing.

"You want to buy a house?" Mary was surprised.

"The risk of lending money is really great, and, in fact, adding property is an investment method with similar returns," Charlie Dunn explained, "I actually still plan to live in the staff dormitory, and now I hesitate To buy a wizard's house or a Muggle's house."

"Why do you want to buy a Muggle house?" In Mary's view, buying a wizard's house is justified.

"If the Galleons I have saved are exchanged for British pounds to buy a Muggle house, they can almost buy a small house in Mayfair and rent it out to gentlemen who come to London. The income must be good," said Charlie Dawn He replied, "But if I bought a wizard's house, I can keep it for myself in the future. I think it will take a few years at most before I should get married."

"You're getting married?" Mary quipped, seizing the opportunity, "with which lady?"

"Mary, you know that I don't have a marriage partner now, but I still don't think it is difficult to find one."

"It's as if you don't care about your life at all," Mary continued, laughing.

"I'm sure I don't care as much as you ladies do," Charlie Dawn also laughed, "but I still feel that the way I care is different, at least my first thought is to solve the house."

"So you've decided to buy a wizard's house?" Mary asked again.

He waved his hand, "Let's take a look first. When it comes to buying a house, you have to wait until the seller is willing to sell it. It's a matter of luck."

So they went to Diagon Alley, and Mary never noticed that under the gorgeous front of Mrs. Lafayette's tailor's shop, there was a small front with a small sign of "So-and-so Real Estate Agent".

Naturally, the houses offered here are houses sold by wizards. There are quite a few houses in London and the surrounding countryside. Charlie Dawn carefully looked at the album introducing the houses for sale, and asked a few questions from time to time. But no decision was ever made.

A question popped into Mary's mind, and she asked the real estate agent, "Do you sell houses with house-elves?"

"Once in a while, madam," answered the man, "that kind of house costs nearly twice as much as a normal house, and is often neglected."

He tried to persuade the customers to go and see some houses, but Charlie Dawn refused, and when they left the small shop, he told Mary that the houses were more expensive than he thought, considering that there were almost no wizards. They would rent a house to live in—the vast majority of them could use apparation to go home at any time, so buying a wizard's house was by no means an investment, at best it was a backlog of funds.

"Let's buy a Muggle house first," Mary suggested. "When you get married, you can sell that house and buy a wizard's house."

"That's true," Dawn replied. "Maybe I'll marry a Muggle woman, so a Muggle house would be fine."

"Do you have a Muggle female crush?" Mary asked with a smile again.

"We men always pursue family status in marriage," he seemed extremely calm, "I think that even if a witch is willing to marry me, I'm afraid they are from a mixed-race family or a Muggle family. There is nothing wrong with that. I'm afraid my parents won't be able to enjoy family happiness if they are compared to a pure-blood wizarding family."

The two chatted like this, and went to a Muggle real estate agent in Mayfair. Obviously, real estate transactions in the Muggle world are more common than in the wizarding world. You can get a glimpse of the elegant office location.

However, in the Muggle world, even Mary was considered rich. As soon as the real estate agent heard that Mr. Dawn planned to buy a small and unique house worth about three thousand pounds, he came over to help him choose it.From here, it can be seen that the Muggle world is lagging behind. The agent only has the brief introduction of each house at hand. If you want to know more, you have to go and see for yourself.

So the rest of the day was spent looking at the house. Wizards who were used to apparition had to endure the slow jolting of the Muggle carriage. On the street, however, fortunately, each one is a relatively fine house.

Charlie Down quickly settled on a two-story new build, also close to the St. Mungo's staff quarters, which they all knew would be easier to rent.The group rushed back to the real estate agent to initial the agreement, and they were busy until dark.

Dawn invited Mary to dinner again, and the two of them walked to a secluded alley, and together they apparated to Diagon Alley. To advertise for a tenant, but finally a man with a fortune.
