[Comprehensive] The winner of life

The carriage was driving in an orderly manner, and Lin Sheng felt that he had to hurry to go back. Even if the automobile could not be invented yet, when would the steam train be able to run?In the steel industry, Lin Sheng has invested a lot in this industry, just waiting for the steam train to be invented.

Instead of going to Darcy Manor, they went to the piece of land that Lin Sheng bought in Derbyshire first.It originally belonged to a baron, but the baron's previous investment was in vain, so Lin Sheng bought the land together with his manor.

The manor is very magnificent, which really suits Lin Sheng's current taste. Katie hugged Lin Sheng's arm excitedly: "Are we going to live here in the future?"

"If you like it here."

"I like it, of course I like it, this place is several times more beautiful than Elizabeth's manor!"

"I have asked the butler to pass the invitation to Darcy Manor. We will go there after you have a rest." Lin Sheng signaled the maids to take them to the room prepared for them. Of course, she had planned it long ago, but the pair It's nothing to her now.

Over there, Elizabeth has been discussing with the housekeeper's wife how to entertain the distinguished guests who came from afar after receiving the greeting card from the countess's housekeeper.

After a busy morning, a guest came to the door.

Elizabeth's face froze when she saw the person coming.Although she has been married to Darcy for more than two years, Darcy's aunt, Lady Catherine, still dislikes her, and even though the other party has given up the idea of ​​marrying her own daughter to Darcy, Elizabeth still doesn't like her.

After Madam Catherine learned that it was a countess who bought the manor that originally belonged to Baron Bill not far away, she began to give advice to the housekeeper's wife, and claimed that Elizabeth had never had the opportunity to come into contact with such a distinguished person before. She was rude in front of the guests, so she reluctantly pointed out.

Elizabeth was powerless to protest, and Mr. Darcy was on his way back from business.As for Mr. Bennet, he has always been indifferent to the 'war' among the women.

Fortunately, Jane and Mr. Bingley arrived, and their presence somewhat relieved Elizabeth of her embarrassment.

Then Mr. Darcy came back. Mrs. Catherine looked at the time and said to Elizabeth: "The guests are coming soon, Elizabeth. I think you'd better change into a dress that does not lose Mrs. Darcy's identity."

Elizabeth looked at the clothes she was wearing in embarrassment. She wore light clothes for convenience, and glanced at Darcy. Darcy nodded to her. Elizabeth pursed her lips and went back to the room to change into more formal clothes.

The guests were late.

If the countess who came in first made them feel puzzled, the three people who came in after them were shocked.

"Mom? Katie? Mary?" Jane was taken aback, covered her mouth, looked at Lin Sheng at the front, and called tentatively, "Lydia?"

Lin Sheng smiled at Jane and said, "Long time no see, Jane."

Madam Catherine's expression turned ugly, "I thought we were welcoming the honorable Countess."

Lin Sheng smiled and said nothing, and his housekeeper stepped forward to introduce them.

Now everyone in the room was dumbfounded, and Jane exclaimed.

Lin Sheng turned to look at Madam Catherine: "I'm not surprised that you don't know me, and I've never heard of you in London."

Lady Catherine retorted: "I have never heard of a time when the queen would bestow a title on a woman who had eloped with a man shamelessly."

Lin Sheng shrugged gracefully, "That may be because such a woman with bad moral character is too rich. As you can see, I bought the title of Countess with a large sum of pounds. After all, who doesn't Like sterling, and our Her Majesty is no exception, is she?"

Madam Catherine's expression of stepping on shit made Lin Sheng happy. She looked at the others, recognized them one by one and greeted them.

Everyone was still in shock, and some reacted badly.

At this time, Elizabeth came down with her skirt in her hands. When she saw Lin Sheng, she subconsciously bowed her knees and said hello. Although it was not so standard, it was obvious that she had studied it systematically.

In contrast, Lin Sheng's etiquette is very sloppy - if she can, she can be more standardized and elegant than any noble ladies, but it is not necessary, who made her an upstart who is secretly despised by the upper nobles Well—unsurprisingly, she heard Lady Catherine sneer slightly, God knows how many times she heard such a sound when attending high society parties.So she came up with a very wonderful idea to pay them back.

"Elizabeth, long time no see." This greeting just changed the subject.

"Lydia?" Elizabeth was also astonished. She and Jane surrounded Lin Sheng, and there were really many questions to ask.

Lin Sheng smiled and said, "I think we can sit down and talk slowly."

Lady Catherine said to Darcy: "I still prefer your original master, Baron Bill, he is a very polite and real nobleman."

"Unfortunately, madam, Baron Bill failed to invest and had to beg me to buy his manor. Compared to you, I am very happy to have Elizabeth, my sister, as my neighbor. Although I bought this manor, it is only to Come to live for ten days and half a month in summer."

Katie echoed Lin Sheng: "Isn't that too wasteful?"

"Dear Katie, you are so cute, but because of the economic downturn this year, many real nobles are so desperate that they have to sell land and manors to make ends meet. So, I had no choice but to be kind and buy them all Now." Lin Sheng said to Mrs. Catherine with a look of "not short of money", "If you need this, you can come to me. Since you are Elizabeth's husband and Mr. Darcy's aunt, I can give you the market price."

Madam Catherine said with a fake smile: "No need, who knows if you will still be as rich and powerful as you are now, be careful that money comes and goes quickly."

"You are so right. You must know that innovations are taking place in all walks of life nowadays. The old ways are outdated and destined to be eliminated by this world. Mr. Bingley and Mr. Darcy, if you are willing to invest in new industries, you can contact My lawyer."

Mr. Bingley was a little eager to try, but Mr. Darcy remained silent, which made it difficult for him to speak, not to mention that they were still confused about Lydia's situation.

In the end, Lin Sheng invited Mrs. Bingley and Mrs. Darcy to go to her manor next to London tomorrow. The Mrs. Bingley immediately agreed, and Mrs. Darcy expressed that they would consider it.

Mr. Bennet still did not go back to Lin Sheng's manor with them.Lin Sheng didn't force it, even though he also had no intention of coming to London the next day, but before leaving, he gave Lin Sheng the dowry of one thousand pounds that belonged to Lydia.

Lin Sheng accepted it, and it will be Mr. Bennett's original investment fund.

The five Bennett sisters reunited again, and Elizabeth soon became lively, "Lydia, did you really go to a distant eastern country by boat? I heard that there is gold everywhere, is it true? "

Katie rolled her eyes: "Please, Elizabeth, you've asked me a hundred times, and my ears are almost numb."

Mary has turned into Lin Sheng's little secretary, she has been writing and drawing.

Jane looked tenderly at the younger sisters who got together again, thinking of the time before they got married, how nostalgic.

After arriving at Lin Sheng's manor next to London, Katie's eyes widened: "Lydia, is this the small manor you mentioned?"

Lin Sheng laughed loudly: "You know, those nobles are always very humble. After you have seen it, you will know that I am actually very honest."

Katie flinched: "Let's forget it, I was sweating nervously in front of Madam Catherine, if you let me meet the nobles in London, you might as well kill me."

"Oh, dear Katie, you should really see that Lady Catherine's attitude towards those who are more noble than her is definitely not the attitude of 'superior' to you. To be honest, I am a little Not happy, the last duchess who made me unhappy, I bought her natal factory the next day." Lin Sheng didn't tell anyone behind her back, she even named Mr. Darcy, "Mr. Darcy, please Be sure to convey my advice to Lady Catherine, for she is your aunt."

Katie exclaimed: "God, Lydia, you should look in the mirror, you are like Mr. Darcy back then, so arrogant."

Lin Sheng really likes Katie now, "Katie, you can't be prejudiced against me, I just don't like those who offend me because they don't recognize their identity, I still like you very much."

Katie stuck out her tongue.

Elizabeth saw it now, she blushed and stretched out her hand to pinch Lin Sheng's arm, but she didn't speak for Lady Catherine—she was really fed up with Lady Catherine's domineering and meddling with her and Darcy all day In between, and in the affairs of Darcy Manor, she is obviously Mrs. Darcy, isn't she?

"Lydia, Katie, should we go in?" Finally, Jane broke the awkward atmosphere.

"Welcome to my manor!"

Mrs. Bennet was a little dizzy, and was supported by Rachel to rest. Lin Sheng sat down lazily: "I have reserved a room for you all, and you are welcome to be guests at any time."

Mary looked at Lin Sheng eagerly.

"Oh, dear Mary, don't worry, give me some time to arrange."

Jane asked what was the matter.

Katie rushed to answer: "Lydia said Mary can go to a girls' school."

Others, including Mr. Darcy, were surprised. Elizabeth asked, "Does Dad know about this?"

Lin Sheng tilted his head to look at her: "What do you think?" Mr. Bennet has always stayed out of the matter, so he probably wouldn't care or care about such matters.

Elizabeth frowned: "Are you going to hide it from Dad?"

Katie interjected: "What's the matter, Dad doesn't care about it, Mary, I support you!"

Mary nodded solemnly: "Yes!"

Lin Sheng couldn't laugh or cry: "Don't make the atmosphere so tragic."
