Chapter 1880: Pride You Prejudice (Twenty-Three)

Perhaps, she could publish a book at her own expense.

Mary knew very well that although she claimed to be a reader, she did not have as much ink in her stomach as outsiders imagined.

If she had such talent, she would not be so inferior, and she would not be so poor.

After all, if you read well, you can write some articles and earn some manuscript fees.

She's not keen on current politics or anything, but she can try to write and write scripts.

However, these Marys could not do it either.

She prefers to read obscure philosophical books rather than light-hearted literature.

Because ordinary people can't understand such books, she is holding a thick scroll, which will make outsiders feel unclear.

In fact, in recent years, Mary has also tried to write some book manuscripts, but unfortunately they have all been returned!

"That's in the past!"

Mary secretly clenched her fists, and a burning light flashed in her eyes: "It's different now—"

She has money, and she can do many things that she couldn't think of in the past.

For example, he paid for the publication of books and gilded the name of his talented woman!

Mary was in a daze, and Mrs. Bennet and Jane were still talking.

Mrs. Bennet asked excitedly and curiously, "Jane, my dear, what else did Lydia say in the letter?"

"Did she say what the new business was? Does she want to go to sea?"

"Oh my God, I don't want that, the ocean voyage is too hard and full of dangers, and I don't want to see any misfortune happen to my favorite Lydia!"

Although the money is also very good, I have to admit that Mrs. Bennet loves her five daughters even more.

In the past, she was so obsessed with marrying her daughter, firstly, for her daughter's lifelong happiness, and secondly, she hoped to find a rich son-in-law to solve the future property inheritance crisis.

Now, with the cheque for thirty thousand pounds, Mrs. Bennet felt that she would not be afraid to be thrown out at once by Mr. Collins!

In the second half of her life, not only will she not be pitifully attached to her daughter and son-in-law, but she can also live extremely rich and happy!

Therefore, she is not so eager for money.

She hopes that her daughters will be healthy and safe.

"Mother, don't worry, Lydia said that she won't go to sea again, at least not for the next few years. ”

Jane had finished reading the letter quickly, and looked up, a smile of joy on her beautiful and gentle face.

As for the new business, Lydia only mentioned that it seemed that she was going to open a pharmaceutical factory. ”

Opening a pharmaceutical factory?

Mrs. Bennet's eyes were full of questions.

It is said that there are businessmen and scholars in their family, but they have never been a doctor.

How could the youngest daughter suddenly think of such a professional business as running a pharmaceutical factory?

Jane did not know the answer to Mrs. Bennet's question, and she guessed: "Perhaps, when she went to sea, she had some adventures." ”

Mrs. Bennet thought about it and thought it was possible.

But, whatever he is, as long as Lydia doesn't go out on adventures, as long as she can do business smoothly, nothing else matters.

While the mother and daughter were talking, some of Mr. Bingley's guests, whom had been specially invited from London, also heard their conversation.

They didn't know that they were touched by that sentence, so they put down their reserve and pride and walked to this corner.

"Lady Bingley, forgive me for taking the liberty of hearing that your sister is going to run a pharmaceutical factory?"

One of them, a gentlemanly man in his thirties, bowed slightly and asked politely.

Jian smiled and returned the salute, she knew that these people in front of her were her husband's distinguished guests.

They are also businessmen on the surface, but the families behind them are very high-status, and there is one, even nobles.

Mr. Bingley may not be as decisive and capable as Mr. Darcy, but he has the same goal as Mr. Darcy: to change the family's family from a merchant to a true nobleman!

Therefore, he was very polite to these distinguished guests, and even a little flattering.

As the mistress of the Bingley family, Jane also has the responsibility to entertain her guests and do everything she can to help her husband achieve his goals.

It's just that Jane in the past, although confident and elegant, was a little less confident in the end.

There is no way, with an ordinary background, a shabby dowry, and a deep weakness in character, even if Jane has already become the mistress of this family, she can never completely control this family.

Not to mention, there are two sisters in the family who often come back as guests.

Mrs. Hearst was better, though not very easy to get along with, but she did not deliberately target Jane.

But Miss Bingley was a bit snarky.

But some of the things she said were facts-

Mrs. Bennet was indeed somewhat unseemly.

The Bennett's two youngest daughters are indeed frivolous in their words and deeds.

The most deadly, and the most difficult for Jane to change, was her dowry of only a thousand pounds!

Money is really the confidence of a person or even a family.

Jane is confident and generous, but she occasionally feels embarrassed by something about her family or herself.

Miss Bingley, on the other hand, is the one who deliberately magnifies this embarrassment.

Her favorite thing is to use the name of gossip to discuss the love and marriage of the upper class.

Whenever she heard her say anything about the dowry, Jane felt a little uncomfortable.

She knew very well in her heart that Miss Bingley could not say that she was poor and unworthy of the rich Bingley's family!

And Mr. Bingley's weakness and partiality for family affection made Miss Bingley feel even more indulgent. Even the housekeepers and maids had strange thoughts.

It's just a sign now, but the clever Jane senses the problem.

It's just that she is a little helpless.

A few months after getting married, she, Mrs. Bingley, felt an inexplicable pressure.

However, Jane seems to be gentle, but she is not really a weak person.

She realized that she was not in a good position and began to work hard.

Dowry or something, she can't change it, but she can become better and try her best to help Mr. Bingley and become the competent mistress of the Bingley family!

Therefore, Jane also attaches great importance to these distinguished guests from London.

Seeing that they took the initiative to inquire, Jane said gently, "Yes, sir, my sister is in London right now, and she is preparing to run a pharmaceutical factory!"

The gentleman's eyes lit up, and his voice was a little eager, "Then I can take the liberty of asking, your sister—" What do you call it?"

"My sister married Mr. Wickham a year ago. Jane replied with a smile.

If it had been in the past, Miss Bingley would have laughed out loud to hear Jane say that.

What kind of marriage is simply elopement, okay?

The Bennett family spent a lot of money for the sake of the family's reputation, so that Wickham married Lydia.

Otherwise, hmph, no matter how beautiful and gentle Jane is, once she has a sister who eloped, she will not be able to marry a good family.

Not to mention being the mistress of the Bingley house!

This time, however, Miss Bingley was unusually quiet.

It wasn't that she didn't want to mock Jane, but she didn't dare, because her husband, Mr. Brown, also wanted to make friends with them.

She can command her in her mother's house, but she doesn't dare to offend the distinguished guests who her husband has to stammer......
