[Pride and Prejudice] Lady Makes Money

No need to guess who it is.

Manli fell headfirst on the bed, couldn't help moaning, and moaned: "Second sister, can't you let me go?"

Elizabeth pushed open the door she didn't lock, came over with a smile, pressed on her body suddenly, and said threateningly: "No! Don't ask me clearly, you are happy, I won't be able to sleep all night tonight Got it!"

"It's just such a little thing, don't you know everything, how can you ask? Lizzy, why are you becoming more verbose than your mother now? Are you not afraid of losing your hair if you worry so much every day?"

Manli buried her face in the quilt, complaining in a low voice.

"Ha, I haven't complained about you yet, why aren't you happy yet?"

Elizabeth was almost laughed at by her third sister.

She sat up from the bed, grabbed Manli by the collar and pulled her up abruptly: "Be honest with me, what happened, why did your attitude change so quickly?"

After chatting with Manli yesterday, Elizabeth was really worried and didn't sleep well all night.The third sister who dreams of being strong is her own, and in the end she lives alone in a small house on the side of a mountain, with no one to accompany her.

Then she woke up with a start.

After waking up, Elizabeth felt a tight pain in her chest, which could not be relieved for a long time.

At that moment, she even made up her mind that if she could not change Manli's stubborn thoughts, she would not marry at all. In the future, the two sisters would be companions and they could rely on each other.

Elizabeth was at home today, and her heart was restless all day long. In the end, she couldn't help but ran to her father and told him the anxiety in her heart, hoping that he could join her in persuading Manli.

result……

Before she had time to persuade her here, she announced that she had agreed to Mr. Jean's marriage proposal as soon as she came back? !

Elizabeth couldn't tell whether she was more happy or depressed after hearing the news.

Cooperating with my worries all day and night, are you just worrying blindly? !

Manli had to tell Elizabeth what she had said to her father before.

"Second Sister, I still have to thank you. If I didn't have what you said yesterday, I might not be able to discover my true heart." Man Li held Elizabeth's hand and said sincerely.

After listening to her sister's explanation, Elizabeth's heart was also relieved.

Especially the kind—I'm afraid that my sister will be educated by me, and she will go from this dead end to that dead end, and just find someone to give her life to others.

After letting go of her heart, the brightest smile burst out on her face.

"Congratulations, Manli. Knowing that you really chose the person you like, I'm so happy!" She embraced her sister and said sincerely.

Manli leaned on her sister, feeling unspeakable in her heart.The warm feeling of being surrounded by family affection makes people feel comfortable from the inside out.

"Sister, how are you and Mr. Darcy? Has he not contacted you again?" She asked softly.

After parting at Netherfield, Gene and the Bingleys returned to London, while Mr. Darcy went directly to Pemberley.

Manli hadn't heard any news about him recently either.

Elizabeth shook her head: "No contact recently. It's just that he sent a letter when he just left, saying that he had arrived home and reported that he was safe. Then he said that it seemed that his sister was not in good health recently, and he might have to Stay at home for a while longer."

Georgiana is not well?

Manli frowned.

This is something that was not mentioned in the original book, so don't you have any big problems?

"Maybe something is too busy."

Shaking her head, suppressing the sudden uneasiness, Manli comforted her second sister softly.

"It should be." Elizabeth nodded in agreement, but there was an imperceptible loss in her voice.

"Did Collins and Charlotte say when they would get married?" Manly suddenly changed the subject.

She remembered that the most important contact between the second sister and Mr. Darcy in the book happened when they stayed at Collins' house.

No matter what reason Mr. Darcy is now temporarily out of contact, he is always going to Rosings House.

As long as the second sister also arrives as scheduled and the two of them meet, any problems can be solved easily.

"It should be near."

Speaking of this, Elizabeth shook her head with a smile, and said helplessly: "Charlotte has come to me several times during this period, and wants to make up with me."

"Then what do you think?"

"Of course I agree!"

Elizabeth spread her hands, her expression was somewhat depressed.

"Speaking of which, we are also good friends who have played together since childhood. How can Charlotte not understand me so well? I don't even know what she is worried about?"

"Even if people in our family don't like Collins, it's not her fault? Why would she think that I would blame her? Our friendship for so many years, is it because she married someone I don't like? Not in touch anymore?"

"Maybe she cares too much about your friendship?" Manli thought for a while and explained for Charlotte.

The reason why Charlotte chose Collins, in Manli's view, was a tragedy of an era, and there was no way around it.

It has nothing to do with my personality.

Even in the original book, it can be seen from the author's pen that her choice is not wrong.

Therefore, Manli didn't dislike her at all, and because of her cleverness in being able to fight for her own interests at critical moments, she had a great liking for her.

Besides, if there was a falling out with Charlotte, how could the second sister meet Mr. Darcy by chance?

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but said: "Second sister, why don't you also go to London for a while? There's nothing to do at home now, so I'm back. You go to accompany your aunt and elder sister, and by the way Open your eyes."

If the second sister went to London, the eldest sister would try to find out from Mr. Bingley or someone else how Mr. Darcy was doing if she saw her.

It's better than just doing it at home and waiting.

Perhaps it was because she and her eldest sister were about to get engaged, Man Li only wanted to let her second sister settle down sooner.

"No, there are a lot of things at home!" Elizabeth refused.

"Hey, wait!" She suddenly thought of something, stood up from the bed suddenly, turned her head and ran outside.

Manli was taken aback.

"What? What is the second sister up to?"

Manli stood up and looked at Elizabeth's back and muttered.Then he took a quick shower while she was leaving.

"Try this!"

She had just washed her face, and before she even had time to get the cloth towel for washing her face, she stretched out a hand in front of her.

"What?" Manli asked curiously.

"My new noodle fat is your favorite flavor of golden osmanthus, try it!"

Manli dried her face with a cloth towel, and took the small white porcelain bottle handed over by Elizabeth.

As soon as the bottle cap was unscrewed, a familiar strong fragrance came over her face, which was the sweet-scented osmanthus fragrance she was most familiar with.

From her previous life to the present, the scent of sweet-scented osmanthus has always been Manli's favorite.But in Hertfordshire she found no osmanthus trees at all.

In Manli's impression, the osmanthus tree should be unique to Huaguo, so there is nothing she can do about it even if she regrets it.Until——she found dried osmanthus flowers shipped from China in Hertfordshire.

She picked up a piece with her hands and applied it on her hands, and found that it was many times better than the facial grease on the market that she used before!

In her feeling, this is like the emulsified face cream of later generations.

It is definitely not the one that is used every day now, it is still the kind that feels greasy.

"Where did you come from?" she asked in surprise.

"I did it myself!" Elizabeth said proudly.

"self-made?"

Manli picked out another piece, lightly dabbed it on her face, and spread it evenly.I just feel that it was absorbed quickly, and it feels no worse than the big names she used in her previous life.

"Mr. Alang gave me the prescription. When he came to see my father for a follow-up visit, he saw me making this at home, so he told me a few prescriptions for me to write down. Don't tell me, the effect of those prescriptions is really good. Great! There are not only face cream recipes, but also lip balm and face powder. Alas, if it is not winter, I have no place to pick fresh rose petals and jasmine seeds. I think those lip balm and face powder The effect must be very good, very good!"

Elizabeth explained with a regretful face.

Aaron gave it!

That graceful figure appeared in front of Man Li's eyes again.

She knew that this was also a parting gift from Alan to them.

He is always like this, always giving you what you need most inadvertently.And he has almost nothing to ask for.

Since it was given by Alan, Manli felt that she didn't even need to read the recipes, they must be the best.

Hua Guo has always been the most researched in skin care products, especially those noble ladies who like to tinker with flowers and plants when they have nothing to do.

The formulas of many skin care products can even stand the scrutiny of time, and they are still passed down to the later generations of her life.

And as a former imperial physician, it is not surprising that Alang has these prescriptions.

"Mr. Alan said that we can use these recipes freely without his consent. I think it's inappropriate and I want to give him some compensation. He said that it would be good to give him some of the bacon and sausages made at home. Then I We loaded him with almost half a carriage."

Elizabeth sighed: "Mr. Alan is really kind, I think we got too much from him."

"Well. Tomorrow, let the tofu shop make more smoked dried tofu and tofu skin, and sort out all the bacon, salted fish and sausages at home, and send them to Mr. Alang. Those It can be stored for them to take to the boat to eat."

Manli thought for a while and continued to ask: "Second sister, don't you want to go to London to make these creams at home?"

"Yes! It's not just face cream, but also bath salts and bath balls. I've developed some new varieties these days, and I'll take you to see them tomorrow!"

Speaking of what she was interested in, Elizabeth was very excited, and she looked much more energetic.

Manli didn't expect that the second sister's interest would be this?

This realization pleased her.

After the beginning of spring, she wants to sell toiletries in her uncle's grocery store. If Elizabeth can develop some new varieties before then, she will really wake up from her dream!

But now, Manli didn't want to talk about this with Elizabeth, she had more important things to do at the moment.

She was going to write a letter to Aaron.

"Second sister, you go back first, I'm so tired." She left the cream bottle behind, and then pushed Elizabeth out.

Calm was restored in the room again.

Taking out her pen and spreading out the paper, Manli didn't know where to start.

In the carriage today, what Gene said unintentionally made Manli sound the alarm in her heart.

Although she is an out-and-out British at this time, in her bones, she has no way not to favor Huaguo.

Even though, she doesn't even know whether the Huaguo in this world and the hometown in her heart are the same place?

After thinking about it, she finally picked up a pen and wrote a line on paper: On the importance of machines replacing manual labor and factories replacing manual workshops.
