Perhaps motivated, Georgiana quickly got better, but to her regret that the Smiths didn't visit again for days. Georgiana came up with a good idea to invite the Smiths to a picnic a few days later.

That morning, Emma was reading a book in her room. George walked in excitedly and pulled her to his bedroom, pulling out a letter: "Emma, I have two good news for you! They did it on both animals and humans, and they did not get smallpox after vaccinating with cowpox, and they did not get smallpox if they were injected with smallpox slurry. Compared with the current smallpox vaccination, the risk of infection during vaccination is greatly reduced. ”

Emma's eyes lit up: "Great!" Emma didn't study medical chemistry at the beginning, and lacked professional knowledge, but she still knew a lot about cowpox.

George grabbed Emma's hand. "Thanks to your love of reading Emma, my father didn't even know there were such valuable manuscript fragments in the library. ”

Emma chuckled. "The library has so many volumes that it is impossible to read them in a lifetime. I just happened to flip through it. Maybe someone has seen it before, but they didn't pay for someone to go to the real yàn. Emma can use the stimulus of her father's death to explain her personality change, but she can't explain why she suddenly has a lot of knowledge. She had to forge a miscellaneous scrap that covered everything she knew about cowpox, penicillin, and the steam engine.

George excitedly paced back and forth. "I didn't expect to succeed when you first showed me, but it doesn't cost much anyway, and if you do, you'll make a lot of money. Now that we have the cowpox, we have enough capital to go over there, no matter how much we want to go there. ”

Emma disagreed. "First, the real yàn time is so short, it may need to be further improved to reduce the harm to the human body. And secondly, brother, do you know how many people die from smallpox every year? If we had withheld that and put it out in exchange for capital when needed, how many people would have contracted smallpox and died during that time? They could have survived with cowpox. And last time the military had no reason to monopolize the method of reducing post-traumatic fever, but cowpox was different. If the people who get this method control the method in the future to make a profit, how many civilians will go bankrupt?" she tends to use things like steam engines, sterilization, and oil extraction as political capital. Whether it's cowpox or penicillin, the inventors of history have unconditionally announced it, because these things are related to the lives of countless people.

George was only momentarily excited and didn't take this aspect into account, and Emma's hot mind gradually calmed down. "Then what do you say?" In fact, George was still very relieved in his heart. Emma's personality changed dramatically after her father's death, which sometimes seemed a little strange to him, and now it seems that Emma is still his kind and soft-hearted sister.

Emma shook her head: "I didn't think about it. I tend to do my best to publicize this result and promote free vaccinia vaccination in my brother's name. But there is a certain risk in doing so, after all, we have just made an exchange with the military, and we have come up with something of such value, which is likely to attract covetousness. ”

George frowned and thought for a moment. "It's not as risky as you think. I have never taken out the fragment, and in the countryside there has long been a saying that girls who milk cows do not get smallpox, and we can say that it was inspired by this. Isn't that how to reduce inflammation in the first place? Our claim to the military is that the witch doctor who helped Clark has mastered an effective earthen method, and in order to ask for our forgiveness, I took it to the doctor for study. However, the specific things need to be carefully planned. ”

Emma was glad that George hadn't refused because it might cause trouble, and hugged George with a smile. "Brother, you're the best. ”

My sister hadn't been so coquettish to him for a long time, and George blushed a little and gave a vague thanks.

Emma was happy for a moment, remembering that George had two pieces of good news. "Brother, what about the second piece of good news?"

George didn't answer directly. "The second good news can't be said yet, you will know it in two or three days at the latest. Afraid of Emma's questioning, he mentioned another thing: "Last month Fitzwilliam put £10,000 into the real room, and went to thank the doctors. ”

Emma didn't react to this, she had known that Mr. Darcy would do it. Mr. Darcy replied. ”

"That's it?" George didn't expect Emma's attitude to be so flat. "Emma, why did you tell Fitzwilliam like that, for fear that the news would leak out, and why did you tell the military not to say the same thing?"

Emma chuckled, "I don't believe anyone who doesn't believe Mr. Darcy." The reason why he didn't say it was because he didn't want him to be under too much pressure. Money is the cheapest thing to give, and if you just take some money to fund the doctors, Mr. Darcy will probably accept it, but if it is the result of our contributions, the favor is too heavy, and Mr. Darcy will not accept it. ”

George was a little puzzled, in fact, he had had this question for a long time, and he felt that his sister was too good to Mr. Darcy. George pretended to be inadvertently joking and said, "I remember you said that if you are not stupid, you must let that person know about helping someone." ”

Emma didn't remember saying anything like that, but she was willing to explain it to George. "That's hoping to get the same return, that's why I want the other party to know. If you only think about the other party and hope that the other party can be relaxed and happy, you naturally don't want him to know. ”

George was silent, he thought that if his sister really had other feelings for Mr. Darcy, she would not have said it so bluntly in front of him, and he desperately hoped that his second surprise for Emma would come soon.

Unbeknownst to the brother and sister, a short conversation just now reached the ears of the third person.

Mr. Darcy wanted to change his clothes, but he didn't call a servant, and when he took the clothes, he didn't know where he came across, and there was a crack in the wardrobe, and Mr. Darcy took out the clothes only to find that there was a secret door in the closet, and after opening it, the voice next door immediately came in, and it seemed that after the door was opened, it could lead to the bedroom next door.

Mr. Darcy frowned and decided to change rooms. Just as he was about to close the door, he heard Emma's voice: "Mr. Darcy is grateful." Mr. Darcy's hand as he closed the door paused slightly.

After listening to Emma's conversation with George, Mr. Darcy suddenly felt a desperate hope in his heart to see Emma, to have a few words with her, or to see her. But Emma stayed in the house and didn't come out.

At lunchtime, Mr. Darcy took the newspaper early and waited at the table. Emma and Georgiana held hands, talking, laughing, and walking towards the table. Just as Mr. Darcy was pondering what to say, the servants from outside came in and announced, "Mr. Cruise is here." ”

The table was silent for a moment.

Emma finally knew what the surprise was for George. She completely ignored George's gaze, pondered it inwardly, and smiled a mixture of shyness and intellect joy at Alvin as he walked in. "Elwin, when did you come back?"

Emma's letter to Alwyn had been received a month later, and he hurried back just in time for Mr. Kenter's funeral. Before George's suspicion in Derbyshire was cleared, Emma kept fighting her spirits, and when she returned to Yorkshire, she found that there was no major change, and she fell ill with a sigh of relief. Emma still remembers that she was lying on the bed, and a young man with a dusty uniform and bloodshot eyes walked in, bent down and said sternly, "I'm sorry." I will take good care of you in the future. ”

Because the impression of the first meeting was very good, Emma originally thought about when to find a suitable reason to break the marriage, and after that day, she planned to get along first. Unfortunately, Alvin didn't stay long, she was sick again, and the two didn't see Alvin a few times before returning to the army.

Elwin's cheeks were thinner than Emma's remembered, and his close-fitting clothes showed strong but not exaggerated muscles. The gray-blue eyes are extremely sharp when they look directly at people, and the whole person looks a little melancholy when they are silent with their eyes slightly lowered. He had never been treated so gently by Emma, and pinched his hat a little crampedly. "When I returned home the day before yesterday, George wrote to me asking me to come to Cotswold, and I came straight over. ”

Emma pursed her lips and smiled. This fiancé is too honest. Three days to Cozwold, Emma could imagine how he rode out before dawn and found a place to stay at night. "George and you're kidding, we're just here in the Cotswolds, you don't have to be in such a hurry. ”

Emma's words were a little intimate, and Alvin didn't know how to answer, so he thought for a moment and replied, "I don't have anything else to do anyway." "At first Alwyn and Miss Kentra had not seen each other very much, and one day the old Earl of Kentra invited him to his house, and he was worried about the introverted daughter. The old Earl of Kentra helped their mother and son when he was kicked out of the house and was most depressed, bought him a position in the army with money, and helped him with the funeral when his mother died, even if the old Earl of Kentra asked him to repay him with his life, he would agree, so he did not hesitate to swear that he would take good care of Miss Kentra in the future, although he had no special feelings for Miss Kentra at that time, he would be loyal to her for the rest of his life, and strive to earn her wealth and status, and try to agree to her request to make her live comfortably. Of course, Alwyn hoped that they would love each other, but Miss Kentra was always very cold to him, and he would not make her happy. Alvin thought it was an unbreakable stalemate, but from the funeral meeting, things seemed to have taken a turn for the better.

George watched it for a while, and his heart was both happy and a little unpleasant, his sister, who was perfect in appearance and personality ability, was about to be snatched away by the stinky boy. He turned his head to see Mr. Darcy staring at Alwyn as if he was stunned, and hurriedly pulled Alvin over. "Fitzwilliam, let me introduce you, this is Emma's fiancé, Alvin Cruise. He came back late at my father's funeral, and you just didn't meet him. Fitzwilliam?" George tapped Mr. Darcy on the shoulder, and was surprised to find that the muscles on Mr. Darcy's shoulder were as tight as stones. "Fitzwilliam, what's wrong with you?"

Hearing George's inquiry, Mr. Darcy relaxed and held out his hand to Elwin: "Fitzwilliam Darcy, from Derbyshire. ”

Alvin had heard of Mr. Darcy from George's mouth and knew that he was Emma and George's benefactor. He took Mr. Darcy's hand. "Alvin Cruise, Colonel, thank you. ”

Mr. Darcy's face was cold. "No, every gentleman will not sit idly by. ”

Georgiana had been secretly looking at Emma's fiancé, and Alvin felt her gaze and looked back. Georgiana was startled by the cold eyes he had when he turned his head, and immediately lowered her head. "Hello Georgiana Darcy, Mr. Cruise. ”

Alwyn tried to hook the corners of his mouth to soften his expression, but failed. "Hello, Miss Darcy. After thinking about it for a moment, he added, "Thank you for taking care of Emma. ”

Georgiana didn't like him to say this, and although she was a little afraid of him, she retorted slightly: "You don't have to say thanks, Emma and I are good friends." ”

After lunch, Mr. Darcy said that he wanted to go back to his room to rest, and George struggled for a moment, but decided to give Emma and Alwyn time alone. Georgiana was not very relieved, and was coaxed away by George.
