[Pride and Prejudice] Lady Makes Money

Pushing open the thick solid wood carved door, the room was dark, and a foul smell rushed over.

Manli held her breath subconsciously, relying on her strong willpower to control herself from turning around and leaving.

She walked in with the doctor and Elizabeth, only to find that, except for a candlestick near the door with a half-lit candle on it, the doors and windows of the entire room were closed and thick curtains were drawn .

She glanced at Elizabeth: "Help me open the window together."

After speaking, he walked towards the direction of the window.

Elizabeth hesitated for a moment, then followed.

"What are you going to do? Sick people can't stand it!"

The doctor was taken aback after seeing their actions, and shouted eagerly.

"I just took a breath, and it will be closed soon." Manli explained calmly.

After all, she was at someone else's house, so she didn't want to say too much, and she didn't want to make everyone unhappy.

"The patient is very weak now. If she catches a cold, her condition may get worse and she will die! You will kill her like this, you know?!"

The doctor who seemed to be very old probably didn't expect that Manli would not listen to his dissuasion. Feeling that her authority was being challenged, she immediately blew her beard and stared angrily, and shouted at the two of them angrily.

While shouting, he rushed over with strides, pushed Elizabeth away from the window, and then stared at them fiercely.

Hearing that this person opened his mouth and kept his mouth shut, Man Li frowned.

She walked up to the doctor, looked at him and asked, "Since you are so experienced, I would like to ask, what treatment did you do for my sister's illness? When will her fever subside?"

Her words were still polite, but her attitude was a little aggressive.

"Are you doubting my ability?" The doctor blushed immediately after hearing her words.

Manli raised her eyebrows in surprise: "As a patient's family member, don't I have the right to consult the treatment plan?"

"Miss Manly, I think you have misunderstood. Dr. George was brought here from Meryton on purpose. He is the best doctor in the neighborhood. I think he must be very experienced."

Bingley, who followed after him, saw that the situation was not right, and hurriedly made a sound to make a rescue.

Manli smiled at him: "I'm sorry, I think it's you who misunderstood. I didn't question Dr. George's meaning, maybe my tone was bad, but please forgive me. I'm just too worried about my sister's condition. So please Dr. George Tell me, what kind of treatment did you do for my sister? When will she have a fever?"

After speaking, her eyes fell on the doctor's face again, without any intention of retreating.

Again.

Looking at Manli like this, there was an imperceptible smile in Gene's eyes, and he remembered the night at Ban's house before.

Miss Manli is like this, she looks gentle and harmless, but her fighting power is amazing.

She can always smile and beat a group of people to no avail.

"It depends on God's will when the fever subsides. How can I know?" The doctor was forced to flush red and shouted with his neck stuck.

Manli nodded, not intending to refute at all, but continued to ask: "Then, Doctor George, what kind of medicine did you give my sister?"

"I drank holy water for her. I asked for it in church."

"...So, your so-called treatment is just drinking holy water for my sister?!"

Manli suddenly opened her eyes wide.

"If she continues to have a high fever, of course I will bleed her." The doctor added hastily.

"..."

What if I suddenly want to scold someone!

Although Manli felt that she was mentally prepared for the current medical level.

But hearing such unbelievable words from the doctor's mouth, she still couldn't help being irritable!

Her eyes were bright with anger.But at any rate, he didn't lose his mind, and didn't explode on the spot.

She suddenly turned around and looked at Bingley: "Thank you for your kindness to find a doctor for my sister, but I don't think we need it for the time being. From now on, I will take over my sister's illness, please help me take Dr. George go back."

At the moment when the doctor said that Jane was only given holy water, in fact, except for Manli, everyone else was also shocked.

Although medical treatment is not well developed in this era, there are still medicines.The few gentlemen present never expected that the doctor they invited would be so unreliable.

Bingley blushed instantly.

"I'm not very familiar with the environment here..."

Bingley explained something in a low voice, and then immediately raised the volume: "I will send someone back to London now, and invite the best doctor!"

"No, I think I should be able to handle it."

Manli bowed to him and said lightly, "Thank you for your kindness."

After speaking, he looked at everyone and nodded slightly: "Now I want to check on my sister's condition, please go to rest first, I will cause you trouble."

Hearing what she said, even if everyone was still a little worried, they had to go back downstairs and wait.

After sending away Dr. George, Bingley walked up and down the living room in a fretful manner.

Before he could walk around enough, he suddenly stopped and said to everyone, "No, I still need to go to London to invite a doctor."

He said and looked at Gene: "You can recommend one for me."

Looking at his pale blue eyes that looked extremely flustered, Jean knew that his cousin was really moved by that Miss Jane.

His anxiety and worry at the moment are not fake.

So, he restrained his cynicism and thought about it seriously.

Then he shook his head in disapproval: "Didn't Miss Manli say that she came to treat Miss Jane? Why don't we wait and see?"

"Miss Manly is not a doctor!" Bingley shouted uncontrollably.

After finishing speaking, he also found that his tone was wrong, and quickly explained: "I'm not saying Miss Manli is bad, but she's just a little girl, how much does she know about healing? You can't think that just because she knows more She can do anything."

"I believe her."

Bingley's voice fell, and Gene retorted his words back.

And Darcy, who has been silent all this time, immediately echoed, "I believe her too."

Gene suddenly turned his head and met Darcy's eyes. The complicated meaning in it made it impossible for others to guess.

Miss Bingley's hand was tightly gripped.

She felt that no matter how hard she tried, she would never be able to guess Mr. Darcy's heart.

She thought he had a crush on Elizabeth before, so all day today, she focused on how to separate the two people from meeting alone.

But when Manli came, she suddenly discovered that Darcy seemed to have a good impression of Manli!

The hell with the Bennet family, everyone is so annoying!

She couldn't help but swear in her heart, but on the surface she still had an empathetic expression.

"I think my brother is right. Miss Manli does cook well, but she is not a doctor. Can seeing a doctor and cooking be the same thing? Jane is sick in our family. No matter what, we also We must do our best to heal her."

Her words were positive and negative, and she seemed to be worried about Jane, but in reality she still looked down on Manli.

But these words reached Bingley's heart.

"Yes, yes, the doctor still needs to be invited. Butler!"

He didn't even discuss it with others this time, and directly ordered the housekeeper to send someone to London immediately to invite the most respected doctor to come over.

No matter what, he had good intentions, and neither Gene nor Darcy stopped him this time.

"Excuse me, can someone help us boil some hot water? Also, can I use your kitchen?"

At this moment, Manli's voice came from outside the living room.

"Miss, the kitchen is here, please follow me." The butler hurried out to greet her.

"thanks,."

Manli nodded to the housekeeper, and then continued to ask: "I just want to ask by the way, where did the servants I brought just now unload those two wooden barrels, do you know?"

"It's still on the porch. I don't know where you want to put it, so let them unload it there for now."

"Please ask them to put one of them in Jane's room and the other in my room, thank you."

Manli ordered naturally.

The living room was suddenly extremely quiet, and for a moment everyone felt that their brains were not enough.

Just now, Manli and the others were in a hurry to go upstairs, but they watched the servants unload the stuff that was full of two carriages and two horses.

Seeing that the Bennet family even prepared brand new toiletry items for their daughters, Sister Bingley's complexion was somewhat unpleasant.

I feel that my family seems to be despised by others.

And when Mr. Horst saw that Manli had brought a full set of kitchen utensils, he was so excited that his beard was going up to the sky.

That expression is really annoying.

They all saw the two huge wooden barrels.

When they saw it, everyone was a little confused——

Because they really don't understand, why does Miss Manli bring a wine barrel when she travels once?

Was she still going to make wine at Netherfield?

And now, hearing her talk about putting the wine barrels in the bedroom, these people are even more comfortable.

Manli couldn't control what they were thinking at the moment.

When she and Elizabeth turned over for Jane just now, they found that her skin was burning red, but there was not a drop of sweat all over her body.

Manli couldn't calm down either.

She didn't know how Jane escaped the danger in the original book, but she didn't dare to gamble with her sister's life at this moment.

If the fever is like this, if you don't quickly reduce the fever, what should you do if you don't say what the fever is good or bad in the absence of doctors and medicines? !

Without even looking at those people, she hurried into the kitchen, took out the perilla, ginger, and tangerine peel she brought, chopped them into fine pieces, and boiled them in a small pot.

After the pot is opened, put a little sugar, stir well, and take it out of the pot.

This is the folk remedy that her mother used to give her when she had a fever when she was a child

At that time, she was afraid of suffering and was unwilling to take medicine, so her mother cooked this for her to drink.

"My God, what are you doing? Are you a devil, using witchcraft in our house?!"
