Mrs. Darcy's daily life

"Ah... oh".

Caroline took Erwin from the nanny's arms and weighed it. The little guy became heavier, and Caroline couldn't help patting the naked buttocks that came out.

Erwin put his small arms around Caroline's neck, resting his head on her shoulders, lazily, and yawned a little, he just woke up.

Erwin's smooth white skin is close to Caroline, like a piece of soft silky satin, which makes Caroline unable to put it down. The little guy is not only soft and cute, but also feels good to hold.

"Is Hester coming over today?" Caroline asked Louisa.

"Well, he wrote a letter this morning, saying that he would come to have dinner. Now he has nothing to worry about in the factory, and he will be able to rest after a while, so he proposed to go to the countryside for vacation."

"The countryside? Did he say where he was going?"

Luisa lowered her head and absently flipped through two pages of the book and said, "I don't know, he said we'll talk about it later in the evening."

Erwin was lying on Caroline's shoulder, listening to the conversation between Caroline and Luisa, his eyes as clear as sapphires were rolling, and now the drowsiness lingering after a nap has been completely eliminated, and he is in a very good state of mind From the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the necklace on Caroline's neck, grabbed it and pulled it curiously. The black gemstone pendant in front especially caught his attention. He straightened up and played with it with his head down.

Caroline stroked his little head without paying attention, and kissed and squeezed his tender little face.

"Ma'am, Mr. Baker is here."

After Butler Karen left, his deputy, Condra, took up the post of butler temporarily. He has worked in Darcy's mansion for many years and has won the trust of Butler Karen and Darcy. Oh, no, it should be said that they are Husband and wife, Deputy Condela and Mrs. Condela.

When Georgiana was almost abducted by his housekeeper and Wickham, Darcy no longer dared to find an unfamiliar housekeeper for Georgiana, so he directly approached a veteran who had worked for the Darcy family for many years. The Kondra couple, whom he trusted, also caused the couple to often get together less and leave more.

This time when Georgiana went to a place as far away as France, Darcy and Caroline would definitely send their trusted Mrs. Condra to accompany Georgiana. Considering the long separation between their husband and wife, Caroline was still very human. He planned to arrange for the couple to accompany her if Georgiana agreed to go to France, but unexpectedly, something happened to Karen's housekeeper, so they had to separate the couple again.

"Well, let him come in." After speaking, Caroline handed Erwin in her arms to the nanny on the side, and asked her to take Erwin to eat something first, while she sat on the sofa and waited for Baker. .

"Who is Mr. Baker?" Luisa turned her head and asked before anyone came in.

"A gentleman I met at the Matlock Ball," Caroline answered curtly, for the present visitor had already entered.

As soon as Baker came in and saw Caroline and Louisa, he put a polite smile on his face: "Mrs. Darcy, hello", then looked at Louisa, and said with a smile: "This is Hussein. Mrs Sturt."

"Yes," said Caroline.

"Oh, Mrs. Hurst, hello, I am very honored to meet you, especially you are such an elegant, dignified lady, I feel extremely lucky." Baker walked to Louis She gave a gentleman's salute in front of Sha, and said sincerely.

"Oh! Really?" Luisa showed a pleasant smile. She was naturally happy when she was praised like this: "I am also the same. I am also very happy to meet Mr. Baker."

Caroline is not surprised by Baker's behavior, and she has seen his ability before.

After Baker and Louisa finished exchanging greetings, Baker explained the purpose of this trip. He gave Caroline two gifts in his hand, one was prepared by him, and the other was that Mr. Kriegel asked him to bring. The gift that came over clearly indicated that the two had reached a good employer-employee relationship, and it was normal for her as the middleman to be thanked.

Baker was officially hired by Mr. Krieger, Caroline didn't find it strange, whether it was his ability to play with a noble lady on the palm of his hand, or the fact that he escaped from the Simon family back then, it was enough Explain his abilities.

"Mrs. Darcy, thank you very much for your recommendation this time. Now that I have officially become the agent of the Kriegel family, I have reached a friendly relationship with Mr. Kriegel. Came to thank you, and with Mr. Krieger's thanks."

"You became Mr. Kriegel's agent on Caroline's recommendation?" Luisa asked aloud, puzzled by this matter, her eyes shifted from Baker to Caroline.

"Yes, Mrs. Hurst."

Caroline took the lead and said to Louisa: "Louisa, it's not surprising. I knew at the ball that Mr. Krieger needed an agent, and Mr. Baker happened to be the man I met in Matlock. It is a matter of course for me to recommend a very excellent gentleman in this respect, after all, I know that I have such an excellent agent but I do not recommend it to Mr. Krieger, wouldn’t that be too indifferent.” Caroline looked at Baker and said, "Right, Mr. Baker."

Caroline obviously didn't want Louisa to know the hidden attitude, how could Baker not see it, and smiled immediately: "It's true, Mrs. Hurst, I just didn't have a suitable employer back then, and Kerry Mr. Geer also needed an agent, and Mrs. Darcy recommended me to Mr. Kriegel. I came this time to express my gratitude to Mrs. Darcy."

Luisa nodded without arousing the slightest suspicion, and moved on to something else.

Caroline breathed a sigh of relief, she didn't want Louisa to know about it, she just didn't want to involve the five families.If Luisa knew what she was doing, with her personality, she would definitely be terrified all day long.

Since that day, Darcy has been dealing with this matter, not only sending people to secretly watch several families, but also buying some servants of these families to monitor these people from the inside out to prevent any changes in them.

These are completely unnecessary in Caroline's view, but she didn't say anything, which would make him feel at ease, so as not to watch her so closely all day, and she would rather stay with Georgiana every day At home, I don't want to go out either.

As for the Ashley family, the family that didn't show up at Darcy's mansion that day, Caroline didn't care about it after handing over the evidence in her hand to Darcy. As for what Darcy would do, she didn't know.

Baker stayed at Darcy's mansion for an hour and then left to say goodbye.Caroline and Louisa chatted with Mr. Baker for a while, and she was relieved when she saw Louisa's unenthusiastic attitude.

It has been a week since Georgiana left. Today, Darcy went out early in the morning. The reason is that the Simon family’s ocean-going goods arrived, and Darcy went to deal with them. As long as the goods were sold, she would have [-] Sterling liquidity, no longer a pauper.

And regarding her own batch of ocean-going cargo, she didn't have to feel so much pressure in her heart, she just treated it as an investment with other people's money, all the gains were hers, and the losses... don't matter.

In the afternoon, Hearst appeared at Darcy's mansion, and caught up with Caroline and the others for afternoon tea.

"Hester, how are things going in your factory?" Caroline asked.

"Oh, fortunately, with Darcy, the development is quite smooth, and now a batch of orders have been completed, but the current orders are not many, and I feel that I have the attitude of giving it a try." Hurst frowned. Frowning obviously dissatisfied with this.

"This is normal. Although wheelchairs will bring a lot of convenience to people with disabilities, after all, they have not been put into the market. No one can guarantee whether they will be recognized by everyone. These hospitals treat them with caution. It’s completely reasonable to buy some for a try, Hester, don’t be too impatient, this kind of thing can only be done slowly, and your business will improve in the future when the patients really appreciate its convenience.”

Caroline felt a little speechless towards Hearst's eager attitude. Everything is difficult at the beginning, which is especially suitable for doing business. There is no early promotion and publicity. When a new thing appears, you want people to accept and believe you immediately. This is just a fool's dream.If it weren't for Darcy's connections and even helping him take care of it, he probably wouldn't even have an order now.

The most important thing in doing business is to have patience and perseverance, slowly accumulate contacts, and gradually expand sales. At the same time, you must persevere when you are losing money. In business, there is no good loss at the beginning. Many people have a long life in the beginning. Time may not even be a deal.

Hearst's situation is actually very good. With the Darcy family providing steel raw materials, and Charles' capital investment, plus the funds he provided himself, it was much easier for him at the beginning than others, and then he With the connections provided to him by Darcy and Charles, his business career was a completely open road.

Without Darcy and Charles, Caroline would never have allowed Hearst to embark on the road of business. You can see from his current virtues, but he still hates that people order less when he has business.Gao Qiyuan is impatient and lazy. As soon as the factory is on the right track, he immediately wants to run away.

Caroline didn't bother to care about these things. With the help of Bingley's family and Darcy's family, as well as assistants and agents, it was not so important to have him or not now.But there are some things she still needs to ask.

"When these hospitals gradually realize the benefits of wheelchairs and the order volume is on the right track, you need to expand your sales abroad immediately. I mind if you get to know more foreign contacts now, especially those who open nursing homes and hospitals. Family, take the lead in occupying the market, after all, it is not difficult to manufacture wheelchairs, and other wheelchair manufacturers will definitely appear in the future, so, Hurst, you must hurry up and expand your network."

In fact, the most important aspect is that the demand for wheelchairs in the UK is not too high. Wheelchairs are made of steel, and the cost is neither high nor low. Saturation, in the face of this situation, we can only expand the market to foreign countries.

The reduction of cost is not yet achieved by the current technology. Raw materials and manufacturing are all related to the level of science and technology. Change, but this is slowly formed by countless people after hard exploration and development.

Caroline didn't think about it.

"Caroline, when did you know these things so well?" Luisa looked at Caroline with doubts, how could she know these things before.

Caroline showed a faint smile: "After I told Hearst about the wheelchair last time, I checked a lot of books about it. Didn't you say how I read an economics book last time? That’s what I learned from it.”

"Well, I wonder why you read this kind of book."

As soon as Louisa's voice fell, Hearst immediately said:

"Caroline, you said you want me to expand my contacts abroad. Don't you have many such contacts in Darcy's business? Why don't you ask him to introduce some of them to me?"

"If you want Darcy to help you, you can go find him yourself. I'm just giving you an opinion." Karin glanced at Hearst, and said indifferently, she didn't know what to do. Describe Hurst as a person, he wants to rely on others when things happen, and he will never be diligent if he can be lazy.

The Hearst family wants to rise, relying on him?Forget it, this hope can only be placed on Erwin. She will never allow Erwin to become as virtuous as his father in the future. Anyway, as long as Luisa doesn't mind, she is willing to let Erwin live for a long time in the future. Live at Pemberley Manor.

Louisa frowned, and was quite dissatisfied with Hearst's words. She didn't want Caroline to put her mind on these things, and the relationship between Caroline and Darcy had eased a lot. If there is a gap between the two, it will be miserable.

Louisa gave Hester a hard look in her eyes, how could she not understand her husband's virtue after so many years of husband and wife.

Hearst pursed his lips and lowered his head while drinking black tea, not talking about work, could he hide if he couldn't be provoked?

"By the way, Hester, you said that you are going to go to the countryside to relax, have you decided where to go?" Caroline asked after taking a sip of the milk tea and putting down the cup.

Hurst took a big bite of the sandwich in his hand and said vaguely: "I met Charles in the cafe last time, we chatted, and he invited me to Netherfield Gardens, I agreed, and I will start around March," swallowed After eating the food in his mouth, Hurst continued: "By the way, Charles asked me to invite you, do you want to go together?" After a pause: "I think it's more fun if there are more people, why don't we all go to the inner city?" Sourfield Gardens for a few weeks."

Louisa wants to strangle her husband. This idiot, he not only promised Charles to go to Netherfield, but now he also invites Caroline and Darcy to go!

Louisa's complexion immediately sank, and the knife flew towards Hester with a single glance.

Hearst shook his hand, and the black tea he was holding trembled for a while. The tea water rippled continuously, and even spilled a few drops.

Doesn't he seem to be doing anything wrong?

Hearst scratched his head at his wife's stare.

After staring at her husband, Louisa immediately turned her gaze to Caroline, her lips parted slightly, trying to put the matter aside.It turned out that Caroline was one step ahead.

"Okay!"

Caroline readily agreed to Hearst's proposal.

Louisa turned her head to look at Caroline in disbelief: "What? You're going to Netherfield Gardens?!" The high-pitched voice was sharp and harsh, which made Hester frowned, but he didn't dare to say anything.

"Yeah, anyway, there's nothing else going on, how about going to Netherfield Garden for a while?"

"I think so too, it's nothing to do anyway, just go to the country for a while, my dear, why are you making such a fuss, Charles—" Hurst also muttered a few words, and the answer to him was His wife's slap in the eye made him swallow the words that followed him consciously.

"Caroline~" After solving her husband who was holding her back, Luisa looked at Caroline with complicated eyes.

Caroline smiled: "Louisa, we haven't been to Hertfordshire for a long time, why don't we take this opportunity to visit, Charles' invitation, if he refuses, I'm afraid he will be sad." Spreading his hands, he said, "I've already made up my mind, Luisa, you don't have to persuade me anymore."

Caroline was still a little curious about the Bennet family described in the original book, especially Mrs. Bennet. How could she miss such a good opportunity to meet the real version if she was bored.

The author has something to say:

small theater:

Caroline: So boring, finally something interesting, we should have gone to Longborn, author.

Author: Yes, but shouldn't you ask your Darcy's opinion?

Caroline: No, I have the final say.

Author: ..., I suddenly feel so domineering, star-eyed φ(>ω<*).

Caroline showed a big bad wolf smile: As long as you behave well and write to my heart's content, I will naturally cover you.

Author: ..., why do people feel like they can't keep up with the festival, o(;>△<)o
