[Pride and Prejudice] Lady Makes Money

Bingley really saw it now.

The crux of the problem is here!

The reason why Gene deliberately made things difficult for himself was to vent his anger on Miss Manli.

But he couldn't even utter a word of excuse.

The behavior of my two sisters yesterday should not be done by a lady at all.

But what can he do?

One is an elder sister and the other is a younger sister. Both of their parents are dead, and there is no one who can discipline them.

He's caught in the middle, it's also a headache, okay? !

He sighed deeply, and with a mournful face, he began to break the pot and play tricks: "I don't care, I must have a share of the thermos anyway. It doesn't matter if you give me a few, but I can't let me lose face in the circle of friends. Tell me, What can I exchange with you?"

Gene gave him a blank look, then stretched his two long legs onto the back of the chair without any gesture, raised his chin, and said a few words with a proud face: "Not lacking, not rare."

"..."

Bingley held his breath in his heart, choking him so painfully.

Looking at his cousin's hateful appearance, he only felt his temples throbbing.

I really want to go up and beat him up, the kind with a whip!

— But he dared not.

He knew that Jean was going to avenge Miss Manly completely.

Although Bingley didn't know how Miss Manly had won the favor of this bully, but he knew that this little bastard was really disrespectful.

A thermos is nothing, and it doesn't really matter if Bingley is there or not.

But he cannot be crossed off that list.

The Duke of Campbell's House presents gifts to relatives and friends, not once in many years.

Being able to appear in that list means that the Duke's Mansion has taken a high look at it.

Who is the Duke of Campbell?

That is the younger brother of Her Majesty the Queen!He is the leader of the central figures of imperial power!

Darcy was also of noble birth.

But his father was a marquis. Compared with Jean's father, he could only be regarded as a feudal official and a wealthy party.

Compared with power and wealth, it is still inferior to rank.

And the Bingleys were, to put it bluntly, nothing compared to the Darcys.You can only be regarded as a wealthy household if you are stuck to death.

The reason why their family status has risen all these years is that they have grown from being unknown at the beginning to now being able to rank among the noble circles in London.

It all depends on the aunt who became the step-wife of the Duke of Campbell.

But since the mother passed away, the relationship between the aunt and them has become weaker and weaker.

Now apart from Gene who still recognizes him as his cousin, the aunt hasn't summoned them for several years.

If he wasn't on the list this time... his family's status in the city of London would really be in jeopardy.

Thinking of this, Bingley only felt his heart ache even more.

He stole a glance at Gene, and there was even a bit of pleading in his eyes.

Darcy sighed silently, he really couldn't see his old friend in such an embarrassing situation.

I had no choice but to clear my throat, and kindly reminded: "I heard that you have taken a fancy to a piece of land in Meryton?"

Bingley was taken aback, not understanding why he asked this now?

But he still answered honestly: "Yeah, what's the matter, are you interested too?"

Darcy winked at him, glanced at Gene quickly, and then said: "I'm not interested. But I think Gene seems to want to live here permanently."

Hearing his name was mentioned, Gene raised his head and glanced at Darcy with a half-smile expression, neither saying yes nor no.

But Bingley couldn't get the point of his old friend at all.

He asked inexplicably: "What does Gene's living here have to do with that piece of land? Netherfield is so big, he can live as long as he wants, so will someone kick him out?"

"hiss!"

Darcy was so angry that he took a breath through his teeth, wishing he could hit him with the cup on the table!

What kind of elm head is this?I can't wake up even if I knock!

It seems that what Gene said is true, this Bingley can only be a rich man and live a mediocre life.

It is almost impossible to make any big achievements.

Thinking of this, Darcy looked up at the ceiling, and didn't even bother to say anything.

The scene was a little awkward for a while.

Bingley didn't seem to understand at all what he said was wrong?

Anxious eyes flicked around those two people, but they didn't even know how to ask.

At any rate, it was his cousin. Seeing how uncomfortable he was, Jean's heart softened a little.

"Give me that piece of land, and give you three incubators."

He took the initiative to pass a step over.

Bingley was even more confused at the moment, he blurted out with a bewildered face and asked, "What do you want?"

Immediately after speaking, I found that my words were ambiguous, and quickly explained: "I'm not saying I don't want to give it to you, it's just... what land do you buy? Isn't it good to save some money? Your family still needs you to contribute to the family? "

It would be strange not to blame Bingley.

In this era, family interests are above all else.

As long as there is no separation, no one can have private property.

Even if Jin is favored, as long as his father is still alive, his elder brother has not inherited the family business, and he has not been separated from the family, he cannot have his own land under his name.

Even if Bingley gave him the land, he would have to hand it over as family property after buying it.

Spend your own money and subsidize the family, but in the end you can't get it for yourself.

Isn't this stupid what is it?

Gene naturally understood what his cousin thought, and explained in a rare way: "Write your name, and give it to me in your name five years later."

This, also, okay? !

Bingley's eyes widened.

I never thought that my cousin could think of such a showy operation!

He turned his head suddenly, and looked at Darcy inquiringly.

"Yes. From a legal point of view, there's nothing wrong with it." Darcy's tone was flat, as if everything Gene did at this time was within his expectations.

In this case, of course Bingley would not disagree.

Compared with the friendship with Jin, what is a few hundred acres of land?

Not to mention just giving it to him, even if it was bought and given to him, Bingley would not even blink.

After finishing his business, Gene yawned, moved his legs off the table, and was about to leave.

But was stopped by Darcy.

"I also have a piece of land in Lanbai County. It's not big, more than 200 mu. There is a newly built small manor on it. I wonder if you are interested?"

"No."

Gene shook his head lazily and yawned: "Why do I buy so much land?"

Darcy ignored his refusal, and continued on his own: "That piece of land is cultivated land, which has been planted with soybeans. The farmers who plant the land are all my family servants, and they are all good hands."

soy……

Gene didn't finish his yawn, and quickly closed his mouth.

He stood up straight and looked at Darcy with piercing eyes: "What do you want to say?"

"Half and half, I want fifty percent." Darcy looked at him and said word by word.

"No, I'll give you [-]% at most." Gene refused flatly.

"The land doesn't need money, the servant will send it anywhere."

"...Thirty percent, no more. Transportation, sales, relationship dredging, I also have costs."

"make a deal."

After Darcy finished speaking, he stood up from his chair and walked towards Gene.

The two people stretched out their right hands at the same time, struck each other's palms together, then clenched their fists at the same time, and fought back with their fists again.In this way, a business that belongs to gentlemen will be negotiated.

This is an era of heavy commitment.Especially among gentlemen, oath is more important than life.

When the two people looked at each other and smiled, and held hands tightly, this agreement, which can be regarded as an epoch-making agreement for Britain, was half completed.

"No, what charades are you playing? Why didn't I understand a word?"

Bingley was about to collapse!

I don't know what happened today, but since he entered this study, he felt like a fool.

First he was bullied by his cousin, and then he was despised by Darcy.

The matter was finally settled, and the two of them actually made a deal in front of him!

Completely ignore his existence.

They didn't hide it from him, but it happened——I heard it from the beginning to the end, but I didn't understand a word? ! ! !

The two of them looked at each other, and there was a tacit understanding without any explanation.

They were discussing the establishment of an alliance and sincerely invited Miss Manli to cooperate with them in opening a tofu shop.

Now the alliance between the two of them has been established, but Miss Manli hasn't written a word yet, so what can I say?

At Ben's house yesterday, both Gene and Darcy could see Miss Manly's attitude clearly.She certainly wouldn't sell the formula.

But what to do with the recipe?

The only use is to process it yourself and then sell it.

They knew that with the current strength of the Ban family, if they want to expand the tofu business, they must rely on external forces, and becoming this external force is quite attractive to both of them.

No matter Gene or Darcy, the nobleness in their bones prevents them from doing things to tear each other down.

Since this is the case, why don't we just partner up and do our best to make this business bigger and better.

For the tofu business, the two of them are very optimistic and confident.

But Miss Manli's side doesn't seem to be easy to handle.

What those two stupid women did yesterday obviously caused Miss Manli to beat them all to death with one blow.

How to regain the favor of this young lady——

Also, what a puzzle.

-

At this moment, Miss Puzzle is sitting at the dining table at home, with many sheets of white paper covered with words spread out in front of her, and she is also having a headache.

She sent her big apprentice Martha to take the group of young apprentices (sisters) to get to know the crops, and stayed at home to customize a personal learning plan for them.

In front of the sisters, Manli has always acted confidently, as if everything is no problem, which gave them plenty of confidence.

But actually——she's in pain too, okay? !

In modern times, Manli is an art student studying fashion design.

As we all know, for those who study art, there are not many cultural courses that are very good!

She didn't make a list of school cases and so on after living for more than 20 years.

I didn't expect to come here, I have to learn how to make this stuff first!

But what can I do?

The work I took on, I had to finish it even when I was crying.
