"No." Manli shook her head.

"What's the matter? What did Mr. Jean look for with your father? I think his face is very ugly."

Mrs. Bennet was anxious and apprehensive.

Manli bit her lip, not knowing how to answer her mother's words.

Although when she agreed to the marriage proposal, she acted quite generously, but now she was asked to say that she had agreed to marry the person inside, and she was a little bit speechless.

Elizabeth looked at Manli suspiciously for a while, seeing that the expression on her face was a bit embarrassed and shy, which was not at all her usual appearance.

Suddenly, a thought that she had never thought of before popped out of her mind, and her eyes widened in disbelief!

Elizabeth quickly walked to Manli's side, without even caring about being polite, she squeezed between her and her mother, grabbed her arm, and asked in a low voice: "Manli, tell me the truth, did Mr. Jean talk to you again? Did you propose?"

Manli's face turned red all of a sudden.

"Then you...rejected again?!" Elizabeth said bitterly, her eyes full of hatred.

Manli shook her head again.

"Why are you a brainless person?! You can't give Mr. Jean another chance... No, wait!"

The more Elizabeth spoke, the more something went wrong. She shook her head vigorously, and stared at Manli with wide eyes: "Did you just... shake your head?"

Before Manli could make a sound, Kitty and Lydia, who had been listening by the side, shouted at the same time: "Yes, Third Sister shook her head just now! She didn't refuse Mr. Jean!"

"You promised him? You promised Mr. Jean's marriage proposal?!" Elizabeth couldn't believe her ears, grabbed Manli's shoulder and shook it vigorously, confirming again.

"Yes, yes, I agreed! I agreed to his marriage proposal!" Manli felt that she was about to be shaken to pieces by the second sister.

And the feeling of being stared at by her mother and sisters at the same time also made her nervous and shy, so she replied loudly.

"My God! My dearest Manly, are you going to get married? You're going to be my first daughter! Mr. Jean! My God! It's Mr. Jean!"

Mrs. Bennet was the first to react.

Although she was so surprised that she felt that her brain was not enough, she didn't understand that her daughter just went out with Mr. Jean, how did she change from the attitude of being an enemy before to suddenly agreeing to marry him?

But this does not prevent her from enjoying the joy of having a daughter who is finally getting married.

Or marry someone she didn't even dare to think about before, such a noble person!

"My God! Thank God! Who would have thought? Who would have thought that we, Mary, would be the first of five girls to marry? You know, I used to think that Jane or Lizzy must be the first to marry." But dear, I'm so glad to know you're getting married! Mr. Jean, what kind of family is that? You're going to be rich soon!"

Mrs. Bennet was so excited that she couldn't contain herself, she even left Mary and walked up and down the room by herself.

His eyes were so bright that they could light up the room, and his hands were shaking with excitement.

Seeing her mother so sincerely happy for her, Manli was also somewhat happy in her heart.

But listening to her talking more and more outrageous, I still can't help but get a headache.

Anyway, Gene is still in the study, not far from the hall.Such a close distance, discussing people like this, if heard, even if Gene doesn't care, Manli will feel very embarrassed.

"Mom, calm down, calm down." She hurried forward and grabbed Mrs. Bennet's shoulders, forcing her to sit on the soft chair.

"Dad doesn't necessarily agree yet!" She glanced at the direction of the study and said.

"Why don't you agree? If your father doesn't agree to Mr. Jean's conditions, what exactly does he want? Impossible, he will definitely agree. After all, he loves you so much." Mrs. Bennet looked Said firmly.

As she was talking, she laughed again, and stretched out her hand to pinch Manli's cheek dotingly: "Baby, don't worry, your father actually likes Mr. Jean very much, just because of your attitude before him. It's hard to say. You don't know, when you were not at home, Mr. Jean came to the house several times, he has become good friends with your father a long time ago!"

Manli couldn't help raising her eyebrows.

There is such a thing?How did she know nothing about it?

She couldn't help turning her head to look at Elizabeth again.

Hearing that Manli agreed to Mr. Jean's marriage proposal, Elizabeth only felt that her biggest knot in the past two days was solved at once.

Very easy.

At the same time, I feel happy and proud of this best sister.

At this moment, seeing her turn her head to confirm with herself, she couldn't help but wink at her mischievously: "Yes! You don't even know how much effort Mr. Jean has put in to pursue you, he will come every once in a while Visit at home, and then I will spare time to play chess and chat with my father. They have already become close friends!"

good friend……

Invincible acquaintance...

Manli thought of the good tobacco leaves her father hid in the study, and her forehead couldn't help twitching.

A feeling of helplessness or sweetness slowly surged up in my heart.

While the few people were talking, the door of the study was suddenly opened from the inside, and Gene walked out.

Several women outside silenced at the same time and looked at him together.

Gene's face was flushed, and he could tell at a glance that he was still a little emotional and hadn't calmed down in time.

Mrs. Bennet's face was full of smiles, and she had to fight to keep her composure.She stared at Gene helplessly, only waiting for him to come and tell everyone the result, and then sent him the most sincere wishes.

But Manli saw a trace of tension in Gene's eyes.

"What's the matter, my father didn't agree?" She walked over and asked softly.

Gene gave her a deep look, and did not answer directly, but made a gesture of invitation towards the study: "Mr. Bennet asked you to come in and talk."

Man Li was startled for a moment, but still walked quickly towards the study.

She knocked lightly on the door twice, and before her father could answer, she pushed open a crack in the door and poked her head in first.

Then I saw my father standing by the window with his back to the door, looking out the window quietly.

From her perspective, she could only see her father's back, not his expression.

But that desolate back made Manli's nose sore all of a sudden.

"Why don't you come in and stay at the door?"

Mr. Bennet turned around, just in time to see his favorite third daughter, who looked like a child, with only one head exposed, and her eyes were constantly moving, as if she made a mistake when she was a child and was worried about being scolded. It's an action that you only make when you don't dare to be disobedient.

Seeing him in a trance for a while, my heart suddenly became sore and soft.

His throat moved, suppressing the indescribable feeling in his heart, and glaring at Manli pretending to be serious.

Manli stuck out her tongue, came over and hugged Mr. Bennet's arm, rubbed against his body, and said, "Dad, are you reluctant to part with me?"

Mr. Bennet stretched out a finger, poked her on the forehead, pushed her head away from his body, and then said bitterly: "What is there to be reluctant to do? You are so young, just thinking about it." You want to marry someone! You want to marry someone, how can I stop you?!"

His voice was rough, but there was an uncontrollable sourness in his tone.

Do all fathers in the world do this when they know their daughter is going to marry?

Will you be reluctant?

Manli couldn't help thinking of her father in her previous life.

I don't know if the father over there will be reluctant when he hears that he is going to get married?

Thinking of this, her tears fell all at once.

She buried her head on Mr. Bennet's shoulder, and said in a crying voice, "Dad, if you don't want me to marry, I won't marry."

"What nonsense!"

Seeing his daughter like this, Mr. Bennet was really funny and sad.

He took out a handkerchief from his coat, wiped his daughter's face with his own hands, and then sighed: "Father didn't agree to Gene right away, but wanted to ask you what you mean. I want to know why you suddenly Decided to marry him? Didn't you talk about him a few days ago like a stranger? "

Manli suddenly became embarrassed.

After all, last night, she was still trying her best to separate herself from Gene in front of her father in order to open a tofu shop.

She was about to speak, when Mr. Bennet said again: "Manly, I hope you think about it carefully. Marriage is a lifetime thing for any girl. You have to make sure that you really like this People who are willing to marry him and spend the rest of their lives with him. There can be no other reasons."

Speaking of this, Mr. Bennet sighed: "Lizzy came to chat with me today, and also talked about your conversation last night. What she said is indeed reasonable, a single woman is not easy to live in this world. But , this is not a reason for you to just find someone to marry yourself. You are a child who is arrogant and has so many thoughts. Unless you really love that man and respect him from the heart, otherwise You will not be happy in the future."

"You are such an excellent girl. Dad doesn't want you to be disturbed too much by those outside things. You'd better be able to recognize your own heart before making a decision. Mr. Jean is a very excellent person, you are willing to marry Give it to him, Dad will be happy for you. But if you don’t want to, don’t force it. I believe my daughter will meet a more suitable person in the future. Even if she really doesn’t find the right one, Manli, she will follow her own way Heart."

"Don't worry, no matter how long Dad can be with you, he will definitely arrange for you so that my daughter will not end up alone!"
