[Pride and Prejudice] Lady Makes Money

Hearing his wife's introduction of Manli, Howard hurried over to say hello, with an extremely sincere attitude, without any arrogance of aristocrats at all.

His attitude was modest, and he thanked Manli for the prescription as soon as he opened his mouth. After a few words, he already seemed to be an acquaintance who had known him for a long time, and his tone of voice became friendly.

Manli looked at him, then at Sophia who was standing beside him, and for some reason, a word popped into her mind - a match made in heaven.

The two of them stand together, from expressions to actions, and the way they treat people, they are almost exactly the same, and they look like a family.

It makes people envious.

That night, Manli didn't dance, and chatted happily with Sophia and his wife.In the end, I even promised them that when I prepared the ingredients, I would send invitations to them and invite them to eat at home.

Both of them were very happy after hearing this, and even started to order food on the spot.Braised beef in brown sauce and lion's head have all been praised by some people before.

Seeing this posture, Manli completely believed it. The two of them had nothing to do with her, they just wanted to eat meat...

That look of wanting to go home with her immediately is not hypocritical at all, and it makes people feel a little cute!

Chatting with friends with speculative personalities, time always passes quickly.Before you know it, it's the end of the dance.

As soon as they walked out of the Horst family's mansion, Mary and Jane first saw Mr. Gardiner standing beside the carriage.

The two of them were startled at the same time, wondering why uncle came to pick them up in person?

In fact, Mrs. Horst invited Mrs. Gardiner to this ball.

It's just that she felt that her identity was not enough, and she was afraid that she would feel embarrassed everywhere when she came, so she refused.

Although my aunt did not follow, she confessed that the coachman had been waiting at the door after delivering the two sisters.

He also specially told the two ladies that no matter what they need, they can be told to the coachman, and they will send it immediately.

However, no one said that Mr. Gardiner would wait at the door.

"Uncle, is something wrong?" After saying goodbye to everyone in a hurry, the two trotted over.

"No, I'm just a little worried that you two girls will be outside alone at night, so come and have a look." Mr. Gardiner said with a smile.

After finishing speaking, he looked the two girls up and down, with pride and approval in his eyes: "Well, my nieces are still the most beautiful!"

Manli and Jane couldn't help laughing after saying that.

Indeed, neither Jane nor Mary could be said to have stole the show at the ball tonight.

Because Manli won the favor of Howard and his wife, all the ladies present naturally remembered her name and began to treat her differently.

As for Jane, it's really because of——beautiful over the crowd.

During these days, Manli and her aunt began to cooperate.

She draws out the design drawings, and my aunt finds someone to do it, and then gives her a commission on a piece-by-piece basis.

Manli was quite satisfied with this kind of cooperation, or rather, she was very satisfied with the entire trip to London this time.

She was born into a businessman's family in her previous life. In fact, her life in Mr. Gardiner's house made Manli feel like a fish in water.

Although she could only bury this thought in her heart, she didn't dare to say it at all.

Fortunately, she now has an excellent reason, even if she cooperates with her uncle and aunt, no one will criticize her.

That is—she was going to earn a dowry for several sisters.

You should know that when buying the new manor, she suggested that everyone take out the dowry as an investment.Now everything in Newgrange is not on the right track, and there is still a long way to go before making money.

At a time like this, she would try to make some money first, so who could say anything to her?

After all, the two sisters are not young anymore.

If you don't rush to earn back the dowry money, is it true that the two older sisters will go out empty-handed?

When there is pressure, there is motivation. Once Manli enters the state of making money, she will naturally come up with all kinds of whimsical ideas.

All kinds of novel styles emerge in an endless stream. In addition to clothes, she can even draw them together with matching hats and bags.

Mrs. Gardiner was so happy that she was almost lost.

Not to mention, Manli also suggested that Jane must wear the new clothes in the store whenever she went out to participate in activities.

She was also required to publicize the shop where she bought the dress intentionally or unintentionally.

She even maintained a special training for her——

How can it not only promote the clothing store, but also do it so that it does not show the mountains and dews, and does not make people feel deliberate.

In short, in order to promote the clothes, Manli also racked her brains.

Needless to say, these practices are really effective.

In my aunt's words, several aristocratic wives have come to the store to roll their names to see the latest styles in the past few days.

Because of this, now even my aunt has learned how to use Jane as a living signboard.

As long as it can bring out her temperament and appearance, no matter how expensive or rare the clothes or accessories are... that's true, without even blinking.

Jane was originally the most beautiful girl in the Bennet family, and now she has become the most eye-catching one in London's social season.

Back home, the two girls went upstairs to wash and change their clothes.When they came out after washing and changing, the cook had already brought out the hot white fungus soup and set it up in the dining room.

And Mr. Gardiner has also changed into casual clothes, sitting at the dining table, wearing reading glasses, reading a newspaper by the dim candlelight.

Needless to say, that effortless look was not for reading the newspaper at all, but was waiting for the two of them.

The two sisters looked at each other and hurried over.

"Uncle, what's the matter, you can tell us directly." Manli asked directly without beating around the bush.

"It's not a big deal, but today I received a letter from Lizzy to help your mother, saying that I want you to go back."

Mr. Gardiner put the newspaper aside and handed over an open letter that lay on the table.

Manli quickly took it and opened it to look.

The letter was indeed written by Elizabeth to her uncle on behalf of her mother. It was the most common letter from home to report her safety.

It's just that at the end, Elizabeth told her uncle in her own tone, asking him to tell Manli that if there is nothing special that needs to be stayed, it is best to go home in the near future.

She said that this morning, Mr. Alan from Lanbai County sent a letter, saying that thanks to Tomanli, Mr. Jean helped him find his lost fellow countryman.He plans to return to China with his fellow countrymen in the near future.

But because of the sudden incident, he didn't have time to recuperate Mrs. Bennet's body.

So I hope that Manli can come back a few days before he leaves, so that he can pass on a set of massage techniques and some prescriptions to her.

After reading the letter, Manli didn't think about it at all, and immediately decided to go home immediately.

Mr. Alang has found a fellow countryman and is finally going back to China.What a cause for celebration!

Not to mention that he still has to teach herself something, even if she doesn't teach anything, she must rush back to see him off.

Is it the fellow countryman that Gene helped him find?

Why hadn't I heard this guy talk about it before?

Manli's heart had been planted the moment she read this letter, and she was ready to fly home any moment with her wings on, and she couldn't keep it any longer.

Seeing her expression, Mr. Gardiner sighed silently in his heart, but he couldn't say a word of convincing again.

"Jane stay here, Manli, you pack up tomorrow, and I will personally take you back the next morning." He looked at the two nieces and ordered.

"No, how can I let Manli go back by herself? I definitely want to go back together." Jane shook her head immediately.

"Why are you in a hurry to go back? There is nothing at home. Didn't you promise Mrs. Horst that she would go to some banquet with her next week? I was thinking about letting you wear that light purple dress this time." Woolen cloth!"

Manli said with a face of disapproval.

"I won't participate. We came out together, so naturally we will go together. How can we let you go back alone?" Jane said firmly.

"Who said she would go back by herself? Didn't she say that I would send her off?"

Mr. Gardiner glanced at Jane with dissatisfaction, and made a final decision: "Don't say it, it's so decided. I'll send Manli back, and you stay here with your aunt for a while, otherwise the two nieces will leave, she doesn't know How can you lose it?"

Jane had nothing to say, and Manli was very satisfied with the result.

She knew that her uncle must have seen something before he suggested letting Jane stay.

But that's what makes everyone happy!

Perhaps the next time I see my sister, I will be able to hear that she is engaged to Mr. Bingley.

After learning the news that Manli was going home, Mrs. Gardiner sighed all day long, and she couldn't hide her reluctance.

However, she also knew that there was no way to stop this matter, so all she could do was try her best to stuff everything Man Li could think of into the carriage.

I know, she is the one who sent my niece home, but I don't know, I thought she was giving her daughter a wedding!

After seeing that her aunt stuffed five or six of them in the bare hat box, Manli finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"Auntie, are you planning not to let me come back for ten or eight years? You gave me so many hats, I can't wear them all until I get married!" She complained with a smile.

"What nonsense?" Mrs. Gardiner reproached her and patted her lightly.

"When the snow melts, your mother's body should be almost recuperated, and your father will be able to go to the field at that time. There is nothing urgent for you to do at home. I will pick you up in person when the time comes, and see if you are still alive." Why don't you come back with me!"

Mrs. Gardiner said angrily, with a very serious expression on her face.If Manli doesn't agree, she will force her to stay immediately, resolutely not letting her go.

Manli quickly agreed.

But she knew in her heart that when the spring blossoms, the construction of the new manor will be on the right track, and she will only be busier.

After packing up their luggage and sending farewell letters to a few good friends, Manli and her uncle boarded the carriage home.

Before leaving the house, I happened to receive a reply from Sophia.

In the letter, she wished Manli a smooth journey.And she didn't mind Manli's apology for not being able to invite them to dinner.

At the end of the letter, Sophia said: "I think this separation will not last long, and we will have the opportunity to meet again soon. I sincerely look forward to that day coming soon."

After reading this sentence, Man Li didn't pay attention to it, nor did she take it to heart, she simply regarded it as an ordinary polite sentence.
