Chapter 1870: Pride You Prejudice (13)
But what's the use of being angry?
Wickham secretly wiped the white porcelain powder from his face, and the fine powder was not even a little dross, it was even finer than the flour milled in the mill.
Who would have thought that these powders were once a fine fine porcelain teacup?
Terrible, terrible, he never knew that his new wife had such strange powers!
And he has been pampered since he was a child, and when he grew up, he relied on a face and a mouth to coax the people around him, and he never suffered anything.
The time when he came to London to hide gambling debts was probably his most embarrassing and gloomy day.
But even so, he hasn't been beaten.
Of course, if he doesn't repay his gambling debts in time, he may be bruised or even disabled by those ruthless creditors.
But isn't this another big guy sending a check?
Still relying on a face and a mouth, he successfully survived the catastrophe again.
Therefore, Wickham really did not suffer much in the first 20 years of his life.
But at this moment, in the face of the smiling "Lydia", he had an inexplicable fear.
He had no doubt that if he angered this lady of his, he would never end up better than those two teacups!
can't be provoked, even if he doesn't like his wife's attitude of treating him as a pet, he doesn't dare to show the slightest dissatisfaction.
In addition, the wife is not a blind deterrent.
As the group entered Meritun, Wickham flicked the cheque in his hand, which, though only a hundred pounds, was enough for him to squander two days in town.
This money was given by his wife!
And Wickham has a feeling that as long as he continues to coax his wife well, he may not have a large amount of money, but his wife will definitely be indispensable to him for bits and pieces!
That's enough!
Wickham's ideal life is to marry a rich wife, he doesn't have to do anything, just coax his wife well, and he can have a steady stream of money!
He's living that kind of life now.
Why should he bother with a husband or lover?
As long as he has money to spend, drinks to drink, and can gamble with three or five fox friends from time to time, he will be satisfied.
You must know that in the past, in order to live such a life, he was willing to get close to the mediocre-looking Miss Jin.
And "Lydia" is much more beautiful than Miss Kim, and she is also more lively and bright!
If you think about it from these perspectives, it is also good to maintain such a marriage relationship with his wife - he continues to talk sweetly, and she provides for him!
"At least Lydia is pretty and young!" Wikeham had persuaded himself more than once.
Yes, when he was chased by creditors and fled, he even had the idea of finding an elderly rich woman!
On the way back to Longborn from London, Wickham quickly figured it out.
He carefully observed and made sure that although his wife was strange, she was not arrogant and arrogant.
As long as he coaxes sweetly and behaves like a perfect lover, his wife will be kind to him.
If he is happy, he will also give him ten pounds and twenty pounds of pocket money.
If he coaxed well enough, his wife would occasionally give him a 100-dollar check generously.
Anyway, he doesn't have to pay anything, but he can still live a life without worrying about food and clothing, which is already very satisfying.
So, by the time the group returned to Longborn, Wickham had gotten used to and liked the way he got along with his wife!
Isn't it just coaxing women?
He's doing it!
"Hi and good morning!"
"Miss King, it's been a long time! I'm married to Mr. Wickham!"
"We're married!"
"Good afternoon, dear Sir Lucas, long time no see, you are still such a gentleman!"
As soon as the carriage entered Longborn, Anne hung half of her body from the window.
Along the way, no matter who she saw, she greeted them warmly, and she was afraid that others would not see her hand holding up the wedding ring!
Especially when she meets those young ladies or wives who have daughters of marriageable age in the family, she is extremely proud and flamboyant.
Wickham stayed by her side with a doting face, like a peerless husband who loved his wife deeply.
When everyone first saw Anne, their expressions were a little complicated. They really don't know how to respond to each other's show-offs.
can see that Wickham is like a perfect lover, never leaving his wife, and when he can't see other women except his wife in his charming and deep eyes, there will be an inexplicable envy.
Even if they already know that Wickham is not a good man, he has a despicable character, and he gambles excessively, but it is undeniable that he has a handsome face that is impossible to hate.
Especially when he is willing to coax people, many people can't refuse his charm.
And such a prodigal son in love has become a good husband who loves his wife deeply.
This amazed everyone, but also couldn't help but sigh: Lydia seems to be very powerful, she can actually subdue a man like Wickham!
Anne clearly felt everyone's gaze, and nodded secretly in her heart: Therefore, leaving Wickham is not all bad.
In England in this era, there was no divorce law.
However, if the husband and wife want to separate, it is not completely impossible.
Anne could come up with several ideas.
It's just that Anne doesn't want to try it easily.
First, she had to consider the original Lydia's ideas.
At least for Lydia, who had just gotten married, she liked Wickham so much that she didn't want to part with him at all.
Sure, someday, the selfish and frivolous Lydia will empathize, but not now.
Second, Anne is also thinking about the reputation of this identity.
elopement, and in the end, you can only use marriage as a fig leaf.
If less than a month into the marriage, there is another joke about separation, and Lydia's reputation will be completely ruined.
This is how it feels to consider the fandom Valentia!
Alas, there is no way, who let her have two wishers for this mission.
And the two Lydia's wishes are in conflict with each other.
One wants fame, the other wants to be happy, and if Anne wants to complete the task successfully, she can only compromise and find a way.
There is a more important reason for keeping Wickham as a husband.
At present, the degree of freedom of a married woman is much higher than that of an unmarried lady.
And Anne has bigger plans and needs Mrs. Wickham as a cover!
Of course, that's all for later.
For Anne at the moment, the most important thing is to enjoy the happiness of being married and having a good time with her family.
"Oh, my poor Lydia, you have suffered so much!"
"My child, let me see, you seem to be pretty again. It's getting more and more like me!"
Mrs. Bennett's tone was exaggerated and affectionate, and she hugged her dear daughter and talked endlessly.
She has given birth to a total of five daughters in her life, and what she desires most is to marry her daughter happily.
I thought that the first to marry would be her best eldest daughter Jane, but I really didn't expect that the youngest daughter who was the youngest and most like herself would take the lead.
This made Mrs. Bennet even more excited......
