[Pride and Prejudice] Lady Makes Money

"It's okay, you go talk about serious things, and we go to pay a return visit. After all, their family is so enthusiastic that they even gave us their own breakfast that morning. We have to express our gratitude anyway."

Bingley didn't seem to see the reluctance in his cousin's eyes at all, and said in a natural tone.

After finishing speaking, he immediately instructed the butler who was following him: "Go and get the carriage ready, we will set off in a quarter of an hour."

At his words, the Housters, Miss Bingley, and even Darcy, who were waiting in the drawing-room, rose to their feet.It was only then that Gene discovered that they had already changed out of their clothes before he knew it!

He looked at the group of people speechlessly, and then his eyes fell on Darcy who was standing alone by the sofa, with a bit of teasing in his eyes: "I thought you didn't like the Bennet family. .”

Embarrassment quickly flashed across Darcy's eyes, and then he immediately returned to a serious expression.

He said to Gene seriously: "I don't hate anyone, after all, I didn't even have a chance to really get in touch with them. That night, I just thought they were a little too noisy."

hehe!This is also the reason?

Gene resisted the urge to roll his eyes.

Did the two guys in front of me hide in the corner that night and really thought they didn't hear it?

To put it bluntly, they just feel that their status is not worthy of them.

But how noble is their behavior of evaluating other girls in secret?

Genn lowered his head, hiding the sneering smile on his lips.

"Let's go early after packing up? In order to eat the fried dough sticks that Bingley has praised for so long, I didn't even eat the snack at noon. I'm going to starve to death right now."

Mr. Horst's words broke the silence in the living room at the moment, but made the atmosphere even more embarrassing in an instant.

"...Haha, haha, the carriage has arrived, let's go. By the way, butler, have the presents been loaded into the carriage? Remember to bring a box of the good shredded tobacco I brought back from London to Mr. Bennet."

Bingley hastened to smooth things over.

Gene pursed his lips and walked towards the door first.

Mrs. Horst and Miss Bingley looked at each other, and both of them saw puzzlement in the other's eyes.

When did cousin Jean have such a good relationship with the Bennet family?

You know, when they heard that he was going to visit Ban's house, both of them thought he was going there for the fritters and soy milk.

After all, before in London, my brother bragged about the food.

-

"Manli, what do you think we can do for you?"

Several sisters surrounded Manli, with a little expectation in their eyes.

Manli has a headache.

These girls didn't know if they had some kind of meeting behind her back last night. When they woke up this morning, they all followed her as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.

Like a tail, you can't shake it off.

If it was normal, of course she would not discourage their enthusiasm, but today she has something to do!

"I don't need your help, you go do your own thing first, ok?"

she said patiently.

"Manli, you haven't answered me yet, what should I do? You know, I get headaches when I read books, I can't write stories!"

Lydia finally couldn't help it anymore, pursed her lips, and asked a little aggrieved.

"And me." Kitty simply tugged at the corner of her clothes: "I don't have any other hobbies except eating!"

As for the two elder sisters, although they didn't speak, their eyes also showed apprehension and small expectations.

Manli thought for a while, stood up straight, sized up the sisters, and then said, "Do you really want me to help you?"

"En!" Several people nodded heavily at the same time.

"it is good."

Manli casually took a bamboo basket from the shelf beside her, and stuffed it into Kitty's hands: "Go to the vegetable field behind with Lydia, dig two lettuces for me, and pull out a handful of shallots and Garlic sprouts. By the way, see if the coriander has sprouted, and come back and let me know."

"Scallions, garlic, parsley?"

Unprepared, Kitty was stuffed into a bamboo basket by the third sister, and she felt a little bad all over.

Her eyes widened in disbelief: "Why do I have to pull these out? Shouldn't this be Martha's business?!"

Manli glanced at her: "Because I am going to teach you all the dishes I know, and if you want to learn, you must first know the dishes. Do you want to learn? If not, I will let Martha pull it out. "

Such a snack food, if you don't learn how to cook, it's a waste of materials.

"study!"

Kitty's face turned red with excitement, as if she couldn't believe it, she grabbed Manli's arm forcefully: "Sister San, will you really teach me all those delicious things?!"

Man Li reached out and rubbed her head, ignored her, but turned her gaze to Lydia: "Are you going to the vegetable field?"

Lydia's eyes were a little tangled.

She glanced at the steaming stove where soup was being stewed, and then took a peek at her thin white fingers...

"If you don't go, go back to your room first, and we'll talk about other things later." Manli's voice became cold.

"Go! I'll go!"

Lydia gritted her teeth and nodded quickly.

After that, it seemed that she was afraid that Manli would go back on her word, so she didn't need herself, so she grabbed Kitty and ran to the vegetable patch in the backyard.

"Martha, get someone to watch them."

Looking at the figures of her younger sisters, Manli ordered helplessly.

"Okay." With a smile in her eyes, Martha quickly responded and followed out.

"So, what about the two of us?"

Seeing that Manli turned around after giving orders and was about to go back to work, Jane, who had been silent all this time, asked timidly beside her.

Manli was startled, and then remembered that there are two young ladies here!

These two are going to be wealthy wives in the future, so it doesn't matter to them who they know.

What's more, the boss of the two is probably on his way home right now.

She can't let those two sisters see her beautiful and beautiful sisters come out of the vegetable garden, looking unkempt!

"Today, Mr. Jean will definitely not come alone. Mr. Bingley and his sisters should also visit together. You two had better go back to your room and dress yourself up. If it's all right , um, let's all go take a bath! By the way, put more petals!"

"Manly!"

Elizabeth rolled her eyes at her: "Are you treating them differently? Do you think the two of us are inferior to Kitty and the others?"

She also wants to learn how to cook, okay?

"Of course we have to treat them differently!" Manli didn't try to hide it at all.

"The two of them are still children. If you don't take a good look at them now, I'm afraid they will grow crooked. You two are older sisters, and you are so good. You are completely the facade of our Bennet family. Why should I ask you to dig the dirt? The facade You need to have a good-looking appearance, hurry up, dress up beautifully, smell delicious, and compare with those ladies and wives! Give our Bennet parents a face!"

As she spoke, she clenched her fists towards the two sisters and made a cheering gesture.

Two sisters: "..."

"Push!"

Elizabeth was the first to laugh.

Although she didn't understand what Manli's gesture meant, she felt that her third sister was getting cuter and cuter, making people love her so much.

She rolled up her sleeves, walked up to Manli, and pinched her cheek: "You really want to drive us away? We don't want to. Come on, tell us what to do? We two can do what you can can do."

"Yes." Jane nodded quickly, and rolled up her sleeves as she spoke.

Manli was speechless.

"Let's go, let's go, I'm not joking with you. You are helping me by packing up yourselves! Go, don't get in the way here, I will find someone to boil water for you right now. By the way, let someone bring you some charcoal Go to your room, remember to dry your hair, don't get sick from the cold."

As she spoke, she drove Elizabeth and Jane to the door.

Although today's meeting was only arranged with Mr. Jean, Manli believed that he would not be the only one who came.

As the male lead and the second male in the book, in such a lively place, no matter what, the two of them would come to show their presence.

It is estimated that there are more than three of them.

So she made adequate preparations early on.

It was less than four o'clock when Gene and his party arrived at Bennet's house.

But just like when I came back for the first time, before the carriage stopped, the tangy fragrance came over.

Everyone in the car took a deep breath uncontrollably.

The reason why Miss Bingley has been fooling her brother and Darcy to come here today is just an excuse for fried dough sticks and soy milk.

At the ball that day, although Darcy kept belittling the girls of the Ban family, she could clearly see that his eyes fell on that Elizabeth several times.

Jealousy made her eyes fire.

She regretted that she didn't take Darcy with her when she went to the city to play yesterday, and let him see the ugly appearance of the family on the road.

And today, she had such an opportunity to get in close contact with them, so she couldn't let it go.

Whatever you say, let Darcy see what kind of stupid and ignorant head is behind their beautiful faces.

Their visit was warmly received by the Bennets.

They seemed to have foreseen that so many people would come in advance, and they didn't look surprised at all.

After sitting down in the living room and drinking the strong coffee brought by the servant, Bingley was the first to be unable to hold back.

He looked around and asked, "Why didn't you see any young ladies? Especially... where is Miss Manli?"

Mrs. Bennet froze for a moment.

She originally thought that Bingley would be the first to ask Jane, but she never expected that it would be Mary?

But - which one is my daughter!

She replied with a smile: "She is preparing dinner for everyone in the kitchen."

After hearing Mrs. Bennet's words, everyone showed a relaxed expression on their faces. It was obvious that they were very satisfied with her answer.

Gene, on the other hand, was a little unhappy.

Why should such a good-looking young lady serve this group of people?

He stood up from his chair and gestured politely to Mr. Bennet: "Sir, is it convenient for Fang to take a few minutes of your time alone? We have something to do later, so we won't delay everyone for dinner. "
