[Pride and Prejudice] Lady Makes Money

Collins didn't send him in the Bennet's carriage, but went upstairs to pack his luggage indiscriminately, and left with Charlotte.

Mrs. Bennet ignored him, even before he left, when the gentleman pretending to be a gentleman came up to say goodbye to them one by one, she took the family and turned back to the restaurant, completely treating him as transparent.

But after Collins pulled Charlotte away angrily, and the sound of the ruts became farther and farther away, his eyes suddenly turned red.

She wiped the corners of her eyes hastily, and explained to Alan apologetically: "I'm sorry, my neurasthenia happened again, and I'm a little dizzy right now, please allow me to leave the table temporarily."

After finishing speaking, he walked out of the restaurant quickly without waiting for Alan's reply.

It seems that I am afraid that if I walk slower, tears will fall uncontrollably.

Manli found someone to reheat the prepared meals, and everyone began to eat again.

But what happened just now will not be forgotten because of Collins' departure. Everyone feels heavy in their hearts, and they don't even have the good appetite they had before.

Soon, the meal was finished in the silence of the people at the table.

At this moment, Manli is not in the mood to keep the guests.

When she thought about it and was about to apologize to Mr. Aaron, and then asked the coachman to take him back, Aaron spoke first.

He looked at Manli and said: "I still have a little research on neurasthenia, and I have seen many similar patients before. You can ask your mother, do you want me to take her pulse number one?"

Manli was immediately overjoyed.

Regarding the mother's neurasthenia, although the whole family disapproved, they thought it was just the mother's exaggeration, using such a reason to win the family's attention and sympathy.

But Manli always felt that there must be a reason for everything.

Since my mother said this sentence repeatedly, she must be really uncomfortable.

But the current level of medical treatment is too poor. Even for this reason, my mother has seen Dr. Gal several times, but in the end she didn't see why.

Now that Alang offered to give his mother's pulse, it was undoubtedly a surprise for Manli.

She agreed, hurried upstairs to explain to her mother, and then directly pulled Mrs. Bennet out of the room, who was reluctant because her eyes were still a little swollen.

Aaron sat in the living room and waited quietly.

The other girls of the Ban's family sat in a row neatly, and accompanied them in a serious manner.

But each and every one of them had curious lights flashing in their eyes, obviously wanting to see what the so-called pulse was all about.

Seeing Mrs. Bennet come down, Aaron motioned for her to sit beside him.

Then let her show the wrist of her right hand, put her fingers on her pulse, close her eyes slightly, feel it carefully, without saying a word.

The room was extremely quiet, and the girls didn't even dare to breathe, for fear that any noise would disturb the doctor's diagnosis and treatment.

A few minutes later, Aaron opened his eyes and asked Mrs. Bennet several questions one after another.

Mrs. Bennet nodded in agreement with questions such as whether she had a poor appetite or whether she would wake up easily after falling asleep.

Her expression was extremely surprised, as if she couldn't believe that the young man in front of her could see the pain that had troubled her for so long just by pressing her wrist?

And it's not bad at all!

After Alang finished asking, she looked at him again, only surprise and admiration remained.

After consulting Mrs. Bennet's condition, Aaron asked Manli for a piece of paper, and began to consider the prescription.

When he finally finished writing, he raised his eyes and saw the group of girls who were staring at him so closely that they didn't even dare to breathe. He subconsciously frowned, and then said to Manli: "Let your sisters go out first." .”

Manli nodded quickly.

Although she didn't understand why A-Lang wrote a prescription without letting others see it, but who didn't have any eccentricities?

Especially those who are capable.

So she didn't have any doubts at all, and quickly translated Alang's words to the sisters, and asked them to leave together.

When she walked to the door, Alan ordered again: "Go and bring in my medicine box."

This sentence was spoken in Chinese, so it was obvious that it was meant for Manli.

She hurriedly responded, and ran to the restaurant first, and carried the medicine box that Alan had put there before.

When she opened the door and came in, she happened to hear Alang talking about her illness to her mother. Thinking of the situation where Alang asked the sisters to avoid her, Manli became more considerate.

——Don’t tell me Mom really got some serious illness, right?

She lightened her steps, quietly approached the crack of the door, and eavesdropped on the corner without any shame.

"You take these medicines for a period of time. If the situation improves after half a month, you can ask someone to come to me again and give you a course of treatment. It's a matter of confinement during the medicine, but Mr. Bennet is now There is no need for me to explain the situation.”

Mary "..."

What did she hear? ? ? ! ! !

She stood up straight in shock, her face began to heat up uncontrollably.

It is impossible to connect the indifferent person in the house discussing the room with his mother with the doctor Alan who would feel embarrassed when he heard that he was a pig.

Only now did she belatedly understand the reason why Alang kicked out her sisters.

She tiptoed to leave.

After all, it would be very embarrassing if the people inside found out that she was eavesdropping.

But just as she turned around and before she had time to take a step, Aaron added another sentence: "Keep taking the medicine for two months, and when Mr. Bennet recovers a bit, you can try it." An heir is born."

Boom!

The medicine box in Manli's hand fell to the ground.

"Who?"

Mother's shy and embarrassed voice came from inside.

"Doctor Alan, do you mean that my mother can give us a little brother?"

Man Li couldn't care less about her mother's mood at the moment, she opened the door and strode in, asking eagerly.

Alan looked at Manli speechlessly.

The look in her eyes was that kind of helplessness that was almost numb to her abrupt behavior.

It wasn't until Manli questioned her for the second time that he asked slowly, "Have you heard of a proverb in our Hua country called the old clam holding a pearl? What's more, your mother is not very old."

Manli blinked her eyes, and immediately felt that Mr. Alan was right! ! !

The mother married the father, and Jane was born the following year.

Jane was twenty-two years old, and the mother had just turned forty.

In her previous era, 40-year-old women had many children!

What's wrong with my mother adding a little brother to her sisters?

Manli's excitement didn't dissipate after a long time, she felt that Alang had pointed out a glorious way for their family all of a sudden!

If mother can really produce an heir to the family, what's the matter with Collins? !

Thinking that that day might really come, imagining Collins' face distorted with anger after knowing the news...

Manli wanted to look up to the sky and laugh a few times!

until--

In a blink of an eye, she saw the shy and embarrassing look in her mother's eyes, wishing to pounce on her and beat her up first.

This is completely cowardly.

"Uh! You talk, you talk."

Manli ran to the door in a hurry, picked up the medicine box that had been dropped on the floor and put it in front of Mr. Alan, and ran out of the door without even daring to find a reason.

I really annoyed my mother and was beaten up...

At her age, she should save face, okay? !

Mr. Alan left this time and got more gifts than the first time.

He looked helplessly at the carriage that was about to explode, and deeply doubted, if it wasn't for the fear that the horse wouldn't move, would the Bennet family have stuffed the entire family's belongings into it for him?

After sending Aaron away, Manli got busy again.

She kept in mind the situation just now, so naturally she didn't dare to explain Alan's diagnosis to the sisters.

But this did not delay her careful thinking.

In her mind, she went through all the health-preserving recipes that she had an impression of in her previous life, discarding the chaff and saving the chaff, and picked out the ones that were most suitable for nourishing her mother's body, and she could find suitable ingredients for herself. Time to forget.

This is not over yet, she also thought that it would not be enough to make up for the mother alone, and the father could not save it either.

But... It seems that those big tonic soups in her memory can't be made here.

After much deliberation, Manli decided on vegetables.

So, for the rest of the time, she put all her thoughts into thinking about building a greenhouse in the house.

No matter how bad it is, after my father is ready, I have to keep scrambled eggs with leeks, right?

The Bennets naturally didn't know that their third daughter had broken their hearts for them again.

They have already begun to think about preparing to receive the Gardiner family who had agreed to come to visit them. ①

For this brother and sister-in-law, both Mr. and Mrs. Bennet like it very much.

At the thought of seeing them soon, Mrs. Bennet even felt that the anger she had received with Collins was not very important.

Soon it was time for the Gardiner family to visit.

Manli changed her clothes early and waited eagerly in the room.

This is the first time she has seen her uncle's family after wearing here.

She found that Mr. Gardiner was quite similar to what she had imagined. He was indeed the kind of person who had a pleasant personality at first sight and was easy to get close to.

Moreover, his words were elegant, and he looked completely different from the businessmen that Manli had seen before.Obviously well-educated, reasonable, and gentlemanly.

And my aunt, Mrs. Gardiner, is also a very elegant person.

She should be a few years younger than her mother and aunt. Although she is not particularly outstanding in appearance, she is kind and kind to others, and her words and deeds are even more intelligent and decent.

The first thing Mrs. Gardiner did when she got home was give out presents.The presents she took out were carefully selected.

The girls were all the latest fashions, shoes and hats, Mrs. Bennet was given an expensive pearl necklace, and Mr. Bennet was given a pipe made of jade.

Just from the gifts, it can be reflected that the two of them attach great importance to their brothers, sister-in-law and several nieces.

When Mrs. Bennet saw her sister-in-law, she seemed to have finally found someone to talk to. From the moment she sat down after giving out the gifts, she began to pour out the depression that had been accumulated in her heart for a long time. out.

Doesn't care if Mrs. Gardiner is willing to be the trash can for her emotional release.

Fortunately, Mrs. Gardiner seemed to be accustomed to all this, and she didn't show any displeasure at all.

He just sat on the side and listened quietly, making some comments from time to time so that Mrs. Bennet could continue talking.

Manli and several sisters listened to a few words.

I heard my mother chattering and began to chatter with my aunt:

"Those girls who are far inferior to my daughters are already engaged, but they are more selective than each other, and they are all dazzled!",

"If you let me know in advance, I will never agree to Jane's rejection of Mr. Bingley. You don't know how excellent the conditions of that gentleman are."

After saying something like this, they exchanged glances with each other, then stood up decisively and said goodbye at the same time.

Only then did they know that although their mother did not complain about their refusal because of their father's intimidation, they were still very unwilling in their hearts.

Manli went back to the house and sorted out the plans she had written about cooperating with her uncle to develop new products, and took them to her father's room, looking for opportunities to have a good chat with her uncle.

But just as she walked to the door, she ran into her aunt who came up to look for her.

Manli was a little puzzled, did she finish talking with her mother so quickly?

But he walked up quickly and said hello to his aunt.

The aunt signaled Manli to sit in her room, and she seemed to have something to say to her.

Although she didn't understand what her aunt was going to tell her, Manli still reopened her bedroom door and invited her aunt to sit in.

As a result, after sitting down, the aunt asked bluntly what Manli thought of Dr. Alang without much deliberation.
