[Pride and Prejudice] Lady Makes Money

Man Li never thought that she would cry like this.

Speaking of it, this was the first time she really cried since she came to this world.

Rather than saying that she was crying for A-Lang, it would be better to say...

She is crying about the old times that can never go back.

Anyway, that was the place where she had lived for more than twenty years, and although she was no longer close to her, they were still close relatives of her parents.

In the past, she deliberately didn't remember, but today, when she was facing parting again, and knew that there would be no date, she couldn't hold back anymore.

Feeling that the clothes on his chest were already wet, Gene sighed silently.

Are you so reluctant?

Thinking of this, an indescribable sourness welled up in my heart.

"Stop crying, at worst, I'll take you to Huaguo to see him in the future." He reached out and patted Manli's back lightly.

Manli was startled for a moment, a little unable to believe her ears.

She looked up at Gene subconsciously: "Really?"

Her voice was grumbling, her nose was red, and her eyes were a little swollen. Compared with usual, she looked a bit embarrassed.

But in Gene's eyes, it only made him feel more sympathetic.

"Just like him that much?" He wiped away the tears from the corners of Manli's eyes with his thumb, and asked in a hoarse voice.

There was a vinegar smell in his voice that he could even detect.

Man Li looked at the man who was about to get close to her face in a daze, blinked her eyes, and then suddenly realized how intimate she was with him at the moment.Ambiguous.

She pushed Gene away and sat up straight, then moved back vigorously.

"I'm sorry." She glanced at the wet spot on Gene's chest, turned her face aside in embarrassment, took out a handkerchief from her skirt pocket, and wiped it quickly.

Genn rubbed his fingers, feeling the feeling that his chest suddenly became a little empty because of Manli's departure, he couldn't help feeling a little regretful.

However, he calmed down his thoughts quickly, and persuaded in a low voice again: "Don't feel bad, it may not be possible to have no chance to meet him in the future. If you really want to see him again..."

Gene gritted his teeth a little unwillingly: "At the worst, I'll fight for it later and take you to Huaguo together."

If Jin said to go to Huaguo for the first time, Manli could still take it as an ordinary consolation, but besides, she had to pay attention to it.

"Do you really have a way for me to go to Huaguo?" She couldn't help but turn her head to confirm again.

"You want to go that way?"

Although he brought it up by himself, seeing Manli's eyes full of expectations, Gene still felt a little sour.

Inexplicably, his mind slipped past the long, motionless scene of Alan standing at the door and looking at their carriage.

"Yes, I really want to!" Manli nodded heavily with eyes full of anticipation.

How can you not want to?

If you can't go back to your own time, it's good to have the opportunity to visit the ancient Huaguo!

Looking at Manli's anxious little eyes, Gene suddenly couldn't help but want to laugh.

He thinks he's just stupid.

This girl is not enlightened at all, even if she is dying of acid, she will not know at all.

"You can go if you want, then can I go back to see your father with you later?" He raised his brows slightly and asked with a slight smile.

"Why do you want to see my father?" Manli was a little puzzled.

"I beg him to marry his daughter to me." Gene looked into Manli's eyes and said word by word.

Manli's face turned red.

She didn't expect that Gene would choose such an opportunity to bring up this matter again with herself.

She hurriedly sat back to the seat closest to the car, turned her head, and never looked at him again.

In the eyes of Gene, this deceitful expression made him feel extraordinarily interesting.

But at the same time, there was a surprise that couldn't be concealed.

Doesn't it mean that if you don't refuse, it means that you have to agree? !

He didn't dare to force Manli anymore, for fear that if he accidentally forced her to reject him directly.

Quickly and cautiously explained: "My Lady Queen said before that I want to send a fleet to China in the name of the royal family of the British Empire. I can apply to be an envoy. Yes... I can bring my wife."

Manli suddenly raised her head.

Of course she could hear the meaning of Gene's words, but she couldn't care less to think about it at the moment.

Now there is only one word in her mind: "Eight-Power Allied Forces"? !

She was a historical idiot in her previous life, and she couldn't remember when the events of losing power and humiliating the country happened?What's more, she didn't even know whether this so-called Huaguo was the place she came from.

but! !! !!

"Send the fleet? What are you sending the fleet to do?!" She asked eagerly.

Because she was too nervous, even her voice was a little hoarse.

Gene was a little puzzled, but patiently explained: "It's a courtesy visit. The fleet of Huaguo brought an invitation letter from their king when they arrived. Out of courtesy, we should also send envoys to pay a return visit."

Manli quietly let go of her clenched fist, and silently let out a breath in her heart.

Really want to be scared to death!

It seems that the direction of things is not what she thought, or this space is different from the one she used to stay in, and it is because she is worrying too much.

But even so, Manli decided to write a letter to Aaron as soon as she went back, telling him about the importance of the industrial revolution to improving the country's strength.

"Would you like to come with me?" Gene tried again.

It was only then that Manli realized belatedly that Jin proposed to her again!

She didn't answer right away.

If Gene had proposed earlier this time, before her conversation with Elizabeth about celibate women, Mary might have once again declined on the spot.

Of course, it wasn't because she listened to the second sister's words and was afraid of living alone in the future, so she used the man in front of her as a shield.

But -

After Elizabeth finished speaking and left, Manli seriously asked herself, if she couldn't choose to be celibate, but had to find someone to marry, who would she choose?

At that time, the first figure that appeared before her eyes was Jean.

Manli had already realized at that time that if she were to marry Jean, she would actually be acceptable.

Now that she has confirmed her relationship, Manli has always been a courageous person: "I can't marry you for the time being, before my two sisters get married."

She looked at Gene and answered seriously.

Perhaps happiness came too fast, and Jin didn't react for a while.

He hesitated for a moment, and he still couldn't believe it, subconsciously confirmed: "Miss Manli, are you... agreeing to my marriage proposal?"

Manli nodded, and then added: "That's right. But the most important thing is to get engaged first. I won't marry you before the age of 20."

20 years old... At that time, the family's industry should have developed, and the two older sisters should also be married, right?

"Of course! Let's get engaged first, and I'll come to propose after both of your sisters are married."

Gene is going crazy right now!

His previous wish was only that Manli would give him a chance, and he would not be content with rejecting him immediately.

She never expected that she would agree to his marriage proposal on the spot!

As for why he only agreed to get engaged, and didn't want to get married right away...these are not important.

As long as she is willing to marry herself, what's the point of waiting?

What's more, she just didn't want to marry before her sister.And her two sisters...

Time to write to Bingley and Darcy.

He thought secretly in his heart.

Seeing Gene so excited, Manli was also a little happy.

The corners of the mouth could not help but rise upwards.

"Do you want to go home and discuss it with your parents?" She kindly reminded.

Gene was not like Bingley or Darcy.

Both of those two people's parents have passed away, and they can make their own decisions about their marriage.

And he—there are a lot of parents and brothers, so it's possible that he doesn't even need to say hello?

"To discuss." Gene nodded.

"After I first seek the consent of my father-in-law, I will immediately go back and tell my parents. You are so good, there is no way they would disagree!"

When he opened his mouth and said his father-in-law, Man Li's face became even redder.

She gave Gene a reproachful look, but she didn't know how to accuse him.

I had no choice but to pretend that I didn't hear him, and once again turned my body to the direction facing the window, ignoring him.

But Gene was so excited that the corners of his mouth were almost grinning to the sky, and he was full of thoughts about how to ask Mr. Bennet to agree to marry his daughter to him when he met Mr. Bennet later.

For a while, he didn't have the heart to gossip with Man Li.

On the contrary, the temporary tranquility was restored in the carriage.

The sun always sets earlier in winter.

When the carriage arrived at Bennet's house, although it was only after five o'clock in the afternoon, it was already dark.

Manli thought that Gene would come to visit at home in another day, but what she didn't expect was that he actually asked the coachman to drive the car directly into the yard, and jumped out of the car immediately.

Standing in front of the car door, Jin stretched out his hand to help Manli get out of the car, faced her slightly disapproving eyes, smiled, leaned into her ear and whispered: "I really can't wait."

The hot breath that came out hit Manli's ears, making her feel numb, and she couldn't say any words of rejection.

The people of the Bennet family were already preparing dinner, so they were naturally taken aback by Mr. Jean's uninvited visit!

Gene saluted Mrs. Bennet politely, and immediately proposed that he had something very important to talk to Mr. Bennet about.

His expression was extremely serious, and his expression was very dignified.

Seeing Mrs. Bennet's heart beating wildly, she wondered what happened?

She hurriedly asked the servant to take Gene to the study where her husband was, and then turned her attention to the third daughter who came in with Gene.

"Manli." She hurried over, grabbed her daughter's arm, and asked worriedly, "What happened? Did you and Mr. Jean quarrel again while you were on the road?"
