[Pride and Prejudice] Lady Makes Money

Manli was very moved by her father's words.

She quickly told Mr. Bennet her most sincere thoughts.

She told her father how good Gene had been to her all the time, and also the image of Gene that appeared in her mind after Elizabeth left yesterday.

Finally, she said to Mr. Bennet: "Dad, I have realized that I really like him. In fact, what the second sister said is right. In this world, it is too hard to live alone all the time, too lonely. .If you are accompanied by someone who likes you and you like, just like you and your mother, then life may be happier."

After hearing her words, Mr. Bennet was silent for a long time.

Then he reached out and patted his daughter's shoulder, and said to her: "My dear Manli, I am relieved to know that you really understand what you want. Mr. Jean is really a good person, if you don't If you consider his family, then he is really a good husband candidate. I also asked just now, did he tell his family about his proposal to you? He did, but because before You didn't agree to his marriage proposal, so you didn't talk much about it. But he also said that once we agree, he will go home immediately and talk to his parents about it.

Speaking of this, Mr. Bennet frowned again, with worry in his eyes: "The conditions in Jean's family are simply incomparable to us. Living in such a family...Manly, do you really want to understand?"

"Not afraid."

Manli held her father's hand comfortingly, and replied frankly: "I only agreed to his marriage proposal, but I didn't actually marry him. If his family can give us blessings, accept and recognize me, then Naturally, everything is fine. But if his family doesn't treat me and my family as equals, and Gene doesn't have a way to fix it, then we'll break up. If He doesn't even have this responsibility, it doesn't matter if such a man doesn't marry."

Speaking of this, she smiled at Mr. Bennet: "Father, if that time really comes, you will not refuse to take me in, will you?"

Seeing that she was still smiling so brightly when she was talking about this, Mr. Bennet almost didn't know what to say.

Does it mean that her daughter is cheerful and has a big heart?

Or is it too childish for her to say this?

Seeing her father's worry, Manli thought for a while, and told Mr. Bennet about meeting Sophia and his wife at the Horst couple's house.

And retell Sophia's evaluation of Jean.

Finally she said: "Through contacting Mr. Howard and his wife, I feel that they are not the kind of vain and philistine people, nor do they have the bad habits of those nobles who are arrogant. So I think, parents with such children are not Will there be too much difference?"

"So Dad, we don't have to be too pessimistic. Since Gene dared to propose to me, then he should be sure to convince his parents. Why can't we trust him once? I am willing to give him this chance."

Hearing that his daughter had thought of these things, Mr. Bennet was finally completely relieved.

Besides, he felt that what Manli said was quite right. Even if the Campbell family looked down on their family and refused to marry his daughter in the end, what's the big deal?

At most, it can only show that they have no vision, and the ones who really suffer can only be themselves!

Thinking of this, the deepest worry in Bennet's heart disappeared.

He couldn't help but stretched out his arms and hugged his daughter: "My baby Manli, Dad blesses you. I only hope that you will be as peaceful and beautiful as I hope in the future. If you can achieve your wish, I will definitely Like your mother, thank God from the bottom of my heart."

Having said that, he gave his daughter the firmest hug again, and then let her go out to have a close relationship with Gene.

Because he believed that he and Manli had been talking for so long in the study, and the young gentleman would probably be so nervous that his heart would jump out.

Manli left the study, and before she took two steps, a solid figure blocked her way, which startled her.

"Why are you standing here?" She patted her frightened heart, and glared at Gene a bit reproachfully.

Shouldn't he be sitting and chatting with his mother and sisters in the living room at this time?

"I can't sit outside anymore, so I have to stand here and wait." Gene replied honestly.

Then he grabbed Manli's hand and asked impatiently, "Did your father agree?"

His hands were cold and slippery, and his palms were full of sweat, which was enough to prove how difficult it was for him for more than half an hour.

Seeing him like this, Manli's heart softened involuntarily.

"Don't worry, my father agreed." She didn't go around the corner, but replied straightforwardly.

"God!"

Gene pulled suddenly, pulling Manli, who was caught off guard, into his arms!

Manli was so startled that she almost didn't cry out, she hurriedly buried her head in Gene's chest, blocking back the exclamation.

"Let go of me!" She was ashamed and angry, hitting his chest hard, and shouted in a low voice.

Gene didn't even hide, he smiled sullenly, hugged Manli tightly and kissed her on the top of her head.

His chest vibrated and he let out a muffled laugh.

The sound is not loud, but it can make people feel full of happiness.

"I'm so happy! I'm so happy! Manli, dear, let me hug you, just give me a hug! I can't control this joy, I'm going crazy!"

Gene whispered excitedly, so excited that he probably didn't know what he said, and repeated the same words endlessly.

He held Manli tightly, and pecked lightly on the top of her head again and again, as if he couldn't love her enough.

Manli struggled a few times at the beginning, but later she found that struggling was useless, so she simply let him hold her and let him vent her frenzied emotions.

Gradually, she seemed to be infected as well, she just felt warm from inside to outside.

"Oh, my god!"

Suddenly, Elizabeth exclaimed from behind.

Then I heard the sound of her turning around in a panic, and then the sound of running away quickly.

Manli suddenly became ashamed and annoyed, she pushed Gene away, turned around and left.

This time, Gene didn't stop her, but obediently followed her and walked towards the living room together.

"Manli, what did your father tell you? That old fool didn't do anything to you, did he?"

As soon as she saw them coming out, Mrs. Bennet hurriedly stood up from her seat and asked worriedly.

"No." Manli replied quickly.

After she finished speaking, she took another look at Gene who followed and stood next to her, and said to her mother a little shyly: "Father promised us two to be engaged."

"I knew it would be like this!" Mrs. Bennet suddenly became excited.

She ran to Jean's side, expressed to him her joy at this time, and at the same time repeatedly expressed how satisfied she was with this marriage.

Manli was a little worried at the beginning, worried that her mother would say something inappropriate because she was too excited.

Fortunately, Mrs. Bennet doesn't know if it's because she has some scruples about Jean's identity, or because she has been swayed by her ears and eyes. Under the "tune and teach" of her daughters, she has grown up and knows what to say and what to say. can not say.

In short, she was enthusiastic but not excessive, which seemed to be in line with her identity.

Manli finally let go of her heart.

After thanking Mrs. Bennet for her blessing, Gene quickly bid farewell.

Before leaving, he rejected the invitation of Ban's family to come and have dinner with him the next day, bluntly saying that he must return to London as quickly as possible.

To tell his parents the great news.

Hearing what he said, Mrs. Bennet was immediately more satisfied.

With a smile on his face, he wished him a smooth journey and hoped that he would return soon.

After seeing off Gene, Mrs. Bennet still seemed to be dreaming, with an erratic expression on her face, and she even walked as if she was stepping on clouds.

And the two little sisters seemed to be confused by today's huge and sudden news, and they were rare and quiet.

Didn't even think about it, came to their third sister to ask what happened.

Manli just felt very lucky.

Before they could react, they quickly went back to the bedroom on the grounds that they were too tired after running for a day.

But just after changing his clothes and before he had time to wash his face, someone knocked on the bedroom door again from outside.
