[Pride and Prejudice] Lady Makes Money

"Why?" Manli was really puzzled this time.

She didn't believe that her elder sister would show restraint by stretching men like those mindless women.

The reason why my sister repeatedly rejected Mr. Bingley's marriage proposal must have her own reasons.

"Sister, you don't like Mr. Bingley, do you? Well, let me think about it..."

She pondered for a moment, then as if she had thought of something, she looked at Jane with some uncertainty: "You are not afraid, are you?"

Jane lowered her head.

She didn't answer Manli's words, but the expression that became depressed all of a sudden showed that she had been told what was on her mind.

Manli got up from the soft chair she was sitting on, walked over and squeezed to Jane's side, and sat on the same chair with her.

Then he asked: "Why, sister, what are you afraid of?"

Jane didn't push her away.

Instead, she continued to lower her head, staring at nowhere, and said slowly: "Manli, tell me, will I be happy marrying Bingley?"

Manli was silent for a moment, then shook her head honestly: "I don't know."

Jane sighed: "I don't know either. Although I do like him very much, and I may also fall in love with him. However, I don't know if I really marry him, will my days be as happy as I am now? He Will he always be nice to me? After a long time, will the two people hate each other? When I think of this, I can't help worrying, and I dare not agree to his marriage proposal."

This is love phobia!

Manli complained silently in her heart.

However, as a girl who has never been in a formal relationship in her previous life, Manli felt that it was difficult for her to do this ideological work.

After all, she actually thought so occasionally in her heart.

but……

"Sister, if you were not to marry Mr. Bingley, but to be with someone else, do you think you would have the same apprehension?"

"impossible!"

Jane retorted without thinking: "How could I marry someone else?"

She hadn't even thought about this possibility!

The thought of marrying a man who is not Bingley, living with that man, and even giving birth to him... Jane feels that she is not well, and she can't help getting goosebumps all over her body.

"Still!"

Manli spread her hands: "Even if you don't choose Mr. Bingley, you can't guarantee that you will be happy forever if you marry someone else. Then, why don't you give yourself and Mr. Bingley a chance? Anyway, you guys At least in love."

The first time Jane told Mary that she rejected Bingley's marriage proposal, her tone was firm.

All her expressions showed that she had thought clearly about making such a decision.

In that case, Manli would naturally support her sister's decision.

But now it was different.

This meeting, Bingley's performance was not the same as before.

He used to be a very humble and polite person, but that kind of modesty is the habitual behavior of a gentleman.

But in his bones, when facing his family, he still has an unconscious aloofness.

And now-

Although Manli didn't know what happened between Jane and Bingley?

I don't know how she refused again and again, how did she tell that gentleman?

Anyway, Manli felt that the current Bingley had fallen headlong towards her eldest sister, let alone being superior... Even his family members were extremely humble when facing their own family members.

Think of Mrs. Horst taking the initiative to say hello to her aunt.

If it was before, did you dare to think about it?

Therefore, Manli felt that her eldest sister was actually quite capable, and she might really be able to change her future brother-in-law.

If that gentleman can correct some of his thoughts and behaviors for the eldest sister, they may not be happy in the days to come.

"I read from the book before that marriage needs to be managed. As long as two people are willing to work hard together and work hard together, the days will always be better. Instead of worrying about gains and losses here, you might as well put your Think about it with Mr. Bingley and see what he thinks? If there is something wrong, the two of you can communicate more, and you can always come up with a solution. You are thinking wildly here, worrying about things that did not happen after marriage, my brother-in-law But Bian thought that you didn't love him, and maybe you would give up this relationship in frustration at the end... What will you do then? Aren't you full and full, tossing around?!"

When Manli started to talk, Jane listened very carefully, and couldn't help but nodded in agreement. She felt that what her sister said made sense, and she really should give it a try.

Until she said the last two sentences.

"What brother-in-law? Where did your brother-in-law come from? You're talking nonsense to see if I don't sew your mouth shut!"

Jane became anxious for a moment, and reached out her hand to knock Manli on the head.

Manli smiled, jumped up from her side, rubbed her head and said, "He's not my brother-in-law, could he be someone else? Even if I recognize him, can you accept it?"

After finishing speaking, he reached out and patted Jane's shoulder with an expression of seeing through everything, and said earnestly: "You just admit it. My brother-in-law is actually a good person, and there is really something inappropriate. If you work hard, maybe you can do it." save."

Jane was so angry that she stood up and chased her.

The two sisters quarreled for a while before stopping, so tired that they even forgot the cold.

"What do you think of Mr. Jean?"

Xu Shi, the stone that had been pressing down on her heart fell to the ground, and Jane's mood improved a lot, and her tone became much lighter.

"What do you think? I don't think much about it." Manli slumped on the soft chair and replied lazily.

"You really didn't like him at all?"

Jane leaned over and stared into Manli's eyes: "I've heard that he doesn't have any fiancée, nor does he have anyone to marry. The Duke of Campbell has long said that his children don't need to use marriage to strengthen their family status .”

Speaking of this, Jane couldn't help showing a little more envy in her eyes: "Think about it, too. With the Campbell family's prestige and status, why do we need to sacrifice the marriage of our children? Mr. Jean's eldest brother is said to have married a wife who is He grew up with his childhood sweetheart."

"Where did you hear all this?"

Manli couldn't help being curious: "Mrs. Horst told you?"

"Part of it." Jane replied calmly.

"There are others that Miss Sophia told me. She is Bingley's cousin and the sister of Mr. Jean's first mother."

Manli froze.

But Jane noticed nothing.

He continued: "By the way, Miss Sophia will also attend next week's prom. She has asked you several times. So, don't make any excuses, you have to go with me no matter what you say."

Manli: "..."

So, when did the eldest sister actually know so many people?

Even Jean's sister knew her, and she looked very familiar.

Judging from her tone, they should have talked about themselves a lot without knowing it.

Manli only felt her temples throbbing wildly.

The more I pondered, the more uneasy I became.

For some reason, when Jane mentioned the ball again, three words came to mind——

Hongmen Banquet.
