[Pride and Prejudice] Lady Makes Money

"I don't want to go." Jane put down the letter and said to her mother.

Manli couldn't help raising her eyebrows.

She did not expect that Jane would refuse so simply, which was completely inconsistent with her usual gentle personality.

Moreover, this does not match the plot written in the original book.

Could it be that the setting god is not invincible?

Jane's words also made Mrs. Bennet dumbfounded.

She stared at her eldest daughter with wide eyes, and asked incredulously for a while, "Jane, what did you just say? You don't want to go? That's Netherfield!"

"No, I don't want to go to Netherfield. Since it's just an invitation, I think I have the right to refuse."

Jane's tone of voice was still gentle and gentle, but her expression carried a firmness that was never before.

"Oh my nerves!"

Mrs. Bennet beat her chest hard: "Why do you think so? Miss Bingley invites you so sincerely, how can you refuse? This is very rude!"

"sincerity?"

Jane smiled bitterly, pointed to the handwriting on the letterhead, and looked at her mother: "If you really invite me sincerely, will you be impatient to write a note by yourself?"

Mrs. Bennet was choked by her daughter's words, and defended Miss Bingley: "None of us can be sure that this is not written by the lady herself, right? Maybe it was written by her? Or, just Because her handwriting is not very good?"

"Ah!"

The two daughters snorted at the same time, and neither of them answered her words.

And Mrs. Bennet herself could not go on.

"I don't know them well. I just met them once. Even if I go, there is nothing to say. Besides, there are five sisters in the family. What's the matter if I go alone?"

Jane didn't want to see her mother be so embarrassed, but she also made up her mind to refuse the invitation.

She picked up the pen and paper that Manli put aside, hurriedly wrote a note of rejection, found an envelope and stuffed it in.

Said firmly: "Mother, please find a servant and send it to Netherfield."

"Where do you need to find any more servants? The carriage they sent to pick you up is still waiting outside! Oh, I don't understand what happened to each of you? Why are you not sincere? If you are not sincere, will you send a carriage to pick you up?" ?Even if you don't like Miss Bingley, Mr. Bingley..."

Mrs. Bennet still wanted to persuade a few more words, but after she said Mr. Bingley's words, Jane's face suddenly sank.

She didn't even care about her mother's mood, she turned around and left.

Mrs. Bennet's unfinished words were stuck in her throat.

Manli was also surprised.

Jane's performance today was completely unexpected to her.

She never thought that her eldest sister had such a tough side!

Is it true that the more gentle and kind-hearted a person looks, the more stubborn they will be in their hearts?

However, if Jane does this, how will the plot develop later?

Her eldest brother-in-law wouldn't be kicked out of the game by the eldest sister just because of the pair of unconscious sisters before the story started?

The more Manli thought about it, the more she felt it was very possible, and she couldn't help but secretly lit a piece of wax for Mr. Bingley in her heart.

-

"What did you say? She refused?!"

In Netherfield Gardens, the housekeeper came over and handed Jane's letter to Miss Bingley. After reading it, she was shocked!

She jumped up from the soft chair and hurriedly walked around the living room.

It seems that he wants to use this method to eliminate the huge shock in his heart.

But until she walked back to the soft chair, she still couldn't accept this reality.

She took the letter and shook it vigorously in front of her sister, so angry that she couldn't choose what to say.

"Louisa, look, look, how arrogant she is! There is something at home that cannot be done without, so I can't make an appointment. There is only a little space in her house, a small and shabby garden, what can she do? Busy? Could it be that the family is too poor to hire servants, and the girls in the family are needed to do farm work?"

As she spoke, she was so angry that she slammed the piece of paper on the tea table.

Louisa didn't read the letter, but her face showed a bit of irritability: "Then what should we do? Before he left, Bingley told us that we must invite the young ladies of the Bennet family to entertain them. That's good." , none of them came."

Speaking of this, she couldn't help but glanced at her sister complainingly: "Isn't it your fault? Before Bingley left, he clearly said that they should be invited, but you just want to invite Jane alone. If Five of them were invited, so is it possible that they all say they are busy? At least one or two can come, right?"

"cut!"

Miss Bingley gave Louisa a disdainful look, and felt that her sister had become as stupid and stupid as her brother-in-law since she got married.

"Isn't the reason why Bingley invited the girl from the Ban's family because he fell in love with Jane? It's just that I'm embarrassed to say that I only invite her. Speaking of that family, the only one who catches people's eyes at all is Jane is alone, she is beautiful anyway. The others, I am annoyed by looking at them, why invite them here, are they an eyesore?"

As Miss Bingley said, she couldn't help thinking of Darcy's defense of Elizabeth at Ben's house that day.

The more I thought about it, the more I felt that it was the most correct decision to invite Jane alone.

Hearing what her sister said, Luisa hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but nodded accordingly.

"Yeah, except for Jane, the other girls are useless. Especially that Manli, it's really annoying to think about it!"

Since coming back that day, my husband has never forgotten about Manli and the food she cooked, and he would say it to his ears a hundred times a day.

If she hadn't been sure that her husband only had good food in his eyes, Luisa would have suspected that he had taken a fancy to that woman!

But, who can guarantee it?

Even if her husband hasn't taken a fancy to her yet, what if he really has some bad thoughts after seeing her too much?

The more Louisa thought about it, the more she felt that her sister's previous decision was correct.

The housekeeper who had been standing by the side couldn't stand it any longer.

He cleared his throat, then took a step forward, and bowed slightly to his two young ladies.

"Misses, please allow me to remind you again that before you leave, you have given special instructions: If you don't invite the five ladies from Mr. Bennet's family to be guests today, if he comes back tomorrow, in case he loses his temper..."

What the butler said here, deliberately dragged on for a long time, and did not continue, but the rest of the words are self-evident.

The faces of the two Miss Bingleys changed at once.

My younger brother (brother) is usually good-tempered and indulges the two of them.Even if the two of them occasionally did something that made him unhappy, as long as it wasn't too much, he wouldn't say much.

But the more such a person is, the more serious he is.

Last night, when it was time to rest, he specially called the two sisters to the study.

Ask them to invite the ladies of the Ban family to be guests today, and to entertain them warmly and apologize for being rude to them that day.

For this reason, he not only arranged the carriage in advance, but even drew up the dinner menu himself.

Not to mention, he even forced the two sisters to make a promise that if the sisters of the Ban family did not forgive, or if any other situation occurred, he would send the younger sister back to the old house, and send the older sister and brother-in-law back to their own Home,

They were forbidden to appear in Netherfield Gardens, and that included London, for three years.

This one can be said to be the death spot of the two sisters.

Miss Bingley has now reached the age of marriage, and she is counting on her brother to help her choose a suitable husband!

She even imagined that with her brother's arrangement, she would have a chance to get married with Darcy.

And now-

If sent back to his old house in the north of England, he cannot return for three years.

Then she is likely to become an old girl because of this, and she will never find a suitable person to marry.

And Louisa was no better.

Although she is married, and Horst's family seems to be doing well.

But that's just the surface.

Horst was not the eldest son, and when it was distributed, it only distributed [-] pounds of family property, which was the same amount as Louisa's dowry.

But the [-] pounds were not all in cash, but also included a house.

Not even as much as Louisa's dowry, except.

Brother Horst was born, he is only good at eating, drinking and having fun, and he is not good at management.

Both husband and wife are generous.

Going back and forth, although it can't be said that there is no shortage of resources, but passing through, Luisa feels more guilty.

So, both of them, husband and wife, simply ran to join their younger brother.

Bingley is a person who takes money very lightly, and his family is so rich that he can't even blink his eyes if he raises a few more people.

The husband and wife followed him, eating and drinking and being served.

I don't spend much of my own money.

If you really want to be sent back by him...

Thinking of that result, Luisa couldn't help feeling agitated.

"Then what should we do? We have already invited her, so what can we do if she doesn't come? Do we have to go to the door to beg her in person?"

Luisa stared at the butler and asked angrily.

"I'll go."

The butler secretly sighed: "I will go to Ban's house in person and try to invite all the young ladies over."

"Just Jane!" Miss Bingley corrected quickly.

The butler hesitated for a moment, but did not agree.

"Caroline!"

Luisa scolded her sister loudly.

Then he turned his head and looked at the housekeeper: "Don't pay attention to her, as long as the girls from that family are willing to come, no matter how many, bring them back."

-

"Mom, you said that the steward of Netherfield Manor came to invite us sisters to the banquet in person?"

Manli asked in surprise.

"Yeah, what could be wrong? People are still waiting at the door!"

Because Mrs. Bennet felt that her face was shining, she walked with wind, and when she spoke, her eyebrows and eyes were crooked with a smile.

"It was said that before Mr. Bingley left, Mr. Bingley gave special orders to invite you. For this reason, he also made today's menu himself. If it wasn't for him and Mr. Jean, and Mr. Darcy had something urgent to ask Go out for a while, and I will come to invite you in person today! Isn’t this kind of sincerity enough? What do you want?!”
