Mrs. Darcy's daily life

Today, Caroline received a letter from Louisa from London, which mainly told about the progress and situation of Hearst's wheelchair production. At the end of the letter, Louisa also complained to her about the time Hearst Ster ignored her and Erwin because of this incident.

In this regard, Caroline just smiled and didn't take it seriously.He wrote a long paragraph of words of comfort to Luisa on the letter paper, and by the way, he licked his face and acted like a baby, shamelessly.

As Caroline, this elder sister, Louisa, was the first person who cared for her when she came to this world, so her position in Caroline's mind was naturally different.

Caroline had an idea about the wheelchair very early on, and she hoped to help Louisa and her family.In this era before wheelchairs appeared, this is a very good business opportunity.

As a gradually declining nobleman, the Hearst family only has a title of nobility, but in fact they have long been unable to make ends meet. Marrying with the Bingley family is because of the wealth of the Bingley family as businessmen, and the Bingley family is naturally interested in Hearst. The identity of the family nobles, this kind of marriage is very common in this era.But after so many years, Louisa's dowry is just a drop in the bucket for such a family, so in the original book, the Hursts always go to their younger brother's house to play the autumn wind.

When Caroline had the idea of ​​a wheelchair, she immediately wrote to Luisa, hoping that she could persuade Hearst to abandon the rigid ideas of the old aristocrats and embark on the road of business. She also attached several pictures of wheelchairs. The structural diagram is a lighter and more modern steel manufacturing style. This is not a difficult task for this rapidly developing industrial country. The difficulty is whether Hearst is willing to seize this business opportunity and fight hard.

Although Louisa was the persuader, Caroline would not put all her hopes on her. Later, she wrote a letter to Hearst, expressing her affection and reasoning.It described in detail the difficulties his family was facing at this time and the possible ending in the future, and asked him to think carefully about the future for Luisa and their newborn child. The last step was to write a wheelchair based on himself. Is the benefits, talk about its business opportunities.If it wasn't for the fear of being exposed, Caroline really wanted to write the complete business plan to him.

Caroline's tone when she wrote the letter was not good, even a bit serious. Hester was a very useless man in her opinion. He actually took his wife to his mother's house to play the autumn wind, not thinking about making progress, and living in a muddle.It's good to scold him to make him grow up a bit, even for his wife and children.

Caroline's tone was a little heavy, but she was also measured.She has an 80.00% chance of convincing Hearst, after all, she has always been very good at controlling people's hearts.

Facts have proved that she is right, her brother-in-law still has some backbone.

What satisfied Caroline the most was that Hearst still had brains, knowing that he was not familiar with business, and he was unable to gnaw the funds of this industry by himself, so he asked his brother-in-law Charles to help him invest together.According to Charles' soft-hearted character, he would naturally help his brother-in-law.Anyway, he is not short of that money.

She originally thought that she would not be able to use Charles's move until Hearst's funds broke in the middle and was forced to be helpless. Unexpectedly, Hearst gave her a surprise.It seems that sometimes it is good to have less backbone.

Charles will help Hearst, which means that the Darcy family will intervene, and Hearst can borrow some strength from the Darcy family, and this is what she wants.

Really rely on Charles?Don't be funny, her brother in name still depends on Darcy's help to maintain the current family business. If he helps Hearst start a business, won't he have to ask Darcy for help in the end?

Without her asking, Darcy can help Louisa and her family.

It is absolutely impossible for her to beg Darcy. If she doesn't want to beg someone, because she doesn't want to humiliate herself, based on the current relationship between her and Darcy, it is better to use Charles directly.

You can continue to abuse Darcy without having to owe Darcy a favor, and you can still achieve your own goals, killing two birds with one stone.

Caroline, who was in a good mood, finished the last word gracefully, put down the pen, received the letter, and sealed it.A cup of coffee was placed right on the table in front of her.

"Ma'am, I added milk to the coffee you asked for."

"Well, Angel, let me send this letter." Caroline handed the letter she had just packed to Angel.

"Okay, ma'am, I'll do it right away." Angel took the letter and turned around and left the room again.

Taking a sip of the coffee on the table, Caroline squinted her eyes in enjoyment. She likes coffee with milk. It has a strong milky aroma and coffee aroma, and it can reduce the bitterness in the coffee very well. , very delicious.

Taking the record book of Pemberley Manor, Caroline slowly flipped through it. Now she has begun to understand the affairs of the manor. At this time, the record book she is reading in her hand is Mrs. Renault's records of the daily entry and exit of Pemberley Manor. accounts.

It clearly records the daily consumption of food, clothing, housing and transportation of Pemberley Manor, and fully unfolds the true face of a manor in the early 19th century in front of Caroline. What is in memory is far less shocking than the real one.

The accounting records are not mixed, food, clothing, housing and transportation are recorded separately, and there are several major categories in detail. Although the records are not as clear as the modern form, it is not difficult for Caroline to read.Mrs. Renault recorded everything from the repairs of the manor, the damage and repair of objects to the replacement of servants' clothing, and every shilling of expenditure can be found in this record book.

There are still some other record books piled up on the desk at this time, including records of the servants of Pemberley Manor, visitor information, and various internal industries of the manor, etc. Caroline wants a recent inspection. She wanted to get a general overview of the entire Pemberley Manor.

In this early 19th century in England, prices were generally high and varied widely, with very high prices for grains and vegetables, and relatively low prices for dairy products and meat, where you could buy a pound of beef for 2 or 3pence, and When Caroline was in China in her previous life, the prices were similar, but grains were 2 to 3 times more expensive.

A day laborer in this era can only earn 2 to 3 pence a day, and an ordinary worker earns 4 to 6 pence. (One pound is 20 shillings, one shilling is 12 pence, and one penny is equivalent to about 5 yuan in Renminbi), so many people at the bottom of society can only maintain a basic life a day, and some even cannot guarantee their basic life .So a family with an annual income of £30 is a sign of a middle-income family.

In the following period, Caroline will take some time to look at these record books every day. She has no shortage of time now, so she doesn't need to work as hard as before.

The record book recorded the situation of the manor in great detail. After closing the last record book, Caroline closed her eyes and combined the memories in her brain with all the information she had learned during this time to re-plan the entire manor in her mind. again.

The center of Pemberley Manor is the mansion standing on the hill, and it is also the place where the owners of the manor, the Darcy family, live.To the east is the vegetable garden and orchard, carefully maintained by the gardeners in the manor. In addition, there are greenhouse facilities in the vegetable garden to ensure that fresh vegetables can be provided for the owner of the manor no matter spring, summer, autumn or winter. Further east is a large area The land, mainly wheat and corn, is cultivated by the servants of Pemberley Manor.

On the front lies a village, inhabited by the inhabitants of the Pemberley estate.In addition to the basic houses, there are also churches, mills, etc. inside, which is a self-sufficient production place.

To the west of Pemberley Manor is a forest farm. The large forest is not only a place to provide firewood for the manor, but also a place for hunting. Every autumn is the season when the prey is the most plentiful.

Behind it was a plain, a natural pasture, home to horse farms and pastures, from which Caroline's daily dairy and meat were produced.

In such a huge manor, apart from the servants and residents in the village, there are hundreds of servants in Pemberley Manor. Caroline roughly checked the servant information of Pemberley Manor. In addition to all the servants in the mansion, there are gardening Workers, foresters, coachmen, horse breeders, etc.

These people worked at Pemberley Manor and could receive about £2 a month, which was £24 a year, which was a good job for many commoners in this era.Residents around Pemberley are proud to have access to work on this sprawling estate.Apart from the good income, the most reason why they are willing to work here is the generosity and kindness of the master Darcy. They can enjoy an afternoon of leisure time every week, and they can be allowed to rest in the living room where the servants rest after work every day. They can enjoy some entertainment in the lounge, where they can sing, dance and chat. There is also a piano specially prepared for them to play in the lounge.

Caroline opened her eyes and glanced at the record books on the table. After a long time, she couldn't help laughing. She never thought that one day she would become the mistress of such a large manor, which made her feel like a dream.

Even though Caroline was usually calm when things happened, she couldn't hold back at this time. Being the hostess of such a manor is really a joy.

Caroline feels that if Darcy can pay the price of Pemberley Manor, then she is willing to divorce him automatically, and sincerely wishes him and Elizabeth to be united forever.

The author has something to say: Little Theater

Darcy: If you get the Pemberley Manor, you are willing to divorce me←_←, am I not as good as a manor? ???(?_?)???

The mercenary Caroline nodded her head vigorously: ten of you are not worth one Pemberley Manor.

Darcy: ~(*+﹏+*)~, I feel like I got shot in the chest.

Author: Of course!Would you still be Mr Darcy without Pemberley Park?

Darcy: ＼(-___________-;)／, I felt ten arrows in my chest.The principle is that everyone likes me because of my Pemberley estate. -_-||
