Chapter 162: Pride and Prejudice Part 4 (End)
A few months had passed, and little Alva was able to go around and toss, the ladies and ladies of Langborn were all rumored at the meeting that the Bennets had made a fortune! I heard that the Bennets had bought the farms of the Mr. King family next door! And I heard that they had also bought factories in the big city! I heard that the ladies of the Bennets had a dowry of five thousand pounds! The Bennets' luck had really gotten better since they had an heir! The heirs of the Bennets must be God's favorites......
Soon, the eldest and second ladies of the Bennet family had a headache and found that more and more people came to visit the door! Even Mrs. Bennet, who was originally keen on neighborhoods and gossiping everywhere, was also annoyed by these people! These enthusiastic neighbors seriously interfered with the normal life and teaching plan of the Bennet family! The most pitiful of all was the two-year-old little Alva! The legendary favorite of God! The visitors most hoped to be blessed by him, and when they saw him, they either hugged him or kissed him! As soon as he saw a guest coming to the door, he immediately looked for a place to hide, and he said that he didn't want to be pinched in the face anymore!
Listening to the teary-eyed little Alva's complaints, and the troubled looks of Jane and Elizabeth, Mr. Bennet decided to take everyone on a trip, by the way, to inspect the cotton mill that their family had invested in Manchester!
The Bennett family traveled for more than half a year! They first visited Mr. and his family in London, and after staying for nearly a month, they went to Manchester with the Canard family to inspect the factory!
In Manchester they meet Mr. Garnard's friend, the father of the Bennett's three little sisters' classmates, Mr. Stripker, who is a merchant with the title of baron. Hearing that the two factories had come to inspect and invest, and that they were going to see if there were any other investment projects, Mr. Stocker warmly invited them to invest in the Great Qing Dynasty Voyage Plan, saying that he could give them a share! One share would cost 10,000 pounds!
Hearing Mr. Stockey's introduction, the profits of this project are more than ten times or even dozens of times the windfall profits, and when they heard that this project had the participation of the military department, Mr. Bennet and Mr. Garnard were very moved! It happened that they met Mr. Darcy, so they consulted him, and learned that Mr. Darcy actually had an investment, and he said that this project was only for nobles with status, and ordinary people had no chance to join it! This was really a rare opportunity! Mr. Darcy suggested that they could invest boldly and with confidence! So Mr. Bennet and Mr. Garnard quickly made up their minds!
For this purpose Mr. Bennet took all the money he planned to invest in a second textile mill, and together with the deposit taken out of the bank, a total of six thousand pounds! Together with Mr. Garnard's four thousand pounds, he made up ten thousand pounds to buy a share from Mr. Stocker!
Later, when Manzhu found out, she said enviously that if she was there, she would definitely go to Mr. Strak and sell them a few more shares! Manzhu knew that as long as it was safe and secure, this plan of the Great Qing Kingdom would be a lucrative investment project!
Mr. Bennet had used up all his investment funds and was about to go home, but Mr. Darcy very solemnly invited the family and the Canard family to visit his manor in Pemberley!
Mr. Darcy was so enthusiastic that he said that he would bring back the three little daughters of the Bennett family with Miss Darcy, and that they could stay in Pemberley for a while, and then go back to Langborn together! Mr. Bennett thought that Lydia and they had a month off in hand, and Miss Darcy had not been home for Christmas at their house last year, and it was estimated that Mr. Darcy did not want her to go to someone else's house for the holidays this year, so he left them!
Mr. Bennet's guess was not entirely right! In fact, although Mr. Darcy was very sad that Miss Darcy would rather stay with the eldest lady of the Bennet family than go home with his brother! But as long as Miss Darcy was happy, his sadness was not serious! Moreover, the eldest lady of the Bennet family was really a rare lady, very good, and it was difficult to find her so good in the social circles of London! With such a rare temper, no wonder Georgiana liked her so much! He had troubled the Bennets too much last year, and he had been looking for an opportunity to entertain them, and this time it was a rare opportunity, and Georgiana must have been very happy to entertain Miss Jane's family in Pemberry!
At last to the cheers of the ladies, Mr. Bennet agreed to Mr. Darcy's invitation! Ten days later they arrived at Pemberry Manor, and spent a wonderful month! The three Lydia sisters returned from their vacation! They did not return home until a week before Christmas, with the Darcy siblings and Mr. Bingley!
By the way, maybe Pemberley's surroundings are so beautiful! Elizabeth agreed to Mr. Bingley's proposal!
After a very busy week and an unusually lively Christmas, the Bennett family threw a ball to announce their return and thank the guests for coming!
The second lady of the Bennett family, who has become one of the richest families in Langborn, is about to get married! This news made the neighbors very surprised and worried, and if there was one less good girl, their son, nephew, and nephew would have one less chance!
So, the Bennett family found that this day was really unbearable! Why didn't they find out that there were so many young talents in Langborn? There are so many guests visiting every day, and there is no stop from morning to night!
The annoyed Lydia sisters have run away with Miss Darcy, and they have gone to London for the social season, at least the people there will not be as enthusiastic as the people in the country, and they will not be uninvited regardless of the feelings of their hosts!
And after Lydia spent a month in London and got back the profits from the previous year's investment in public bonds, everyone in the Bennett family fell into a state of surprise and overexcitement!
As the British Empire's overseas colonies grew better and better, the value of the public bonds issued by the government became higher and higher! The profits of this year's increase were several times higher than that of the previous year! The profits of the public bonds invested by Manzhu were nearly six times! 16,100 pounds plus a sixfold profit of 96,600, a total of 112,700!
When Manjoo handed them the cheques that belonged to each of them, the ladies were amazed with surprise! Can Jane not be happy? With this money, each of them will have a dowry of more than £10,000 this year!
Mr. Bennet's expression was very strange, as if he was delighted and incredulous!
Manjoo knew that Mr. Bennet must be regretting it!
Manju smiled at the time and said: This year's luck is really good! I heard that it is because the British navy has occupied a certain island in India, and there is a gold mine on it! This has made our public debt several times over, and we will not have such good luck in the future! Moreover, I heard that several countries are now at war on that small island, just to grab the gold mine! The affected public debt is falling and rising for a while, which is really exciting! I am selling it quickly! Otherwise, I might lose money now! Miss Strek's father bought it too, but unfortunately he didn't sell it when I sold it, and now it's all gone!
Everyone didn't expect this public bond transaction to be so thrilling, if it was them, they would not be able to stand it, but fortunately they have Lydia!
Mrs. Bennet was so frightened that she exclaimed: her nerves!
When they heard Mrs. Bennet's long-lost exclamation, they all came to their senses, and thought that although the investment in public bonds was highly profitable, it was too thrilling! They also advised Lydia to do it again, and now they had made enough!
Mr. Bennet also reacted that the profits of public debt are high, but the risks are also high, and he is almost attracted by this high profit! The sky will not always fall pie, and good luck will run out one day! He is not young, and the kind of money-making game that stimulates his heartbeat is not suitable for him, or is it suitable for him to start a business in a down-to-earth manner and get rich through industry! As for Lydia?
Looking at Lydia's completely stress-free and happy smiling face, Mr. Bennet thought that she was old! As long as Lydia liked it, she could do whatever she wanted, anyway, she earned all the money herself, and now with the family's inheritance, she can ensure that each daughter will have a dowry of no less than 10,000 pounds when she gets married!
Feeling her father's worried gaze, Manju didn't tell her father that she was going to make one last investment, and she wouldn't do it again! Because the task time was coming in half a year, Lydia's body deity didn't have Manju's ability!
In fact, it is so easy for Manju to invest in public bonds! Every time she stays at the bank and uses her telepathic ability to detect the rise and fall of public bonds from the bank, she can easily make money!
This year is also Lydia's last semester of boarding school, because many of their classmates are in London, and after graduating this year, they will enter the social world of London, start the most important communication in their lives, and find a good husband for themselves!
Although Lydia and Mr. Bennet were not in a hurry to marry herself, and Mr. Bennet was not in a hurry, how could she find a good husband if she stayed in Langborn? So Mrs. Bennet, after discussing with Mr. Bennet, decided to buy a house in London, and live there every year during the social season, so that it would not affect the daughters to find a good husband!
Pride & Prejudice ending:
The Bennets were a legend in London's social circles! They were originally a small squire family in a small village in England, and they had no heirs, their only property and old mansion were about to be inherited by outsiders, and they had five wonderful daughters, but unfortunately each daughter's dowry was only a thousand pounds! They were worried that their daughters could not find a good marriage partner!
But since the birth of the Bennett heir, their wealth has grown like a snowball! Within three years, the Bennett family has moved from a small village to London! Their farms have increased from one to three! Their wealth has increased year by year! The dowry of their five daughters has become richer and richer every year! And each of the five daughters has married better than the other!
The eldest daughter of the Bennett family is stunningly beautiful and well-run, and she is a rare candidate for a housewife! She is married to the handsome and wealthy Fitzwillem Darcy, a gentleman of status and status, and the grandson of the earl!
The second daughter, Xiuwai Huizhong, was a shrewd and capable wife! She was married to the handsome and wealthy Mr. Bingley, a new aristocrat who had inherited a fortune of 100,000 pounds!
The third daughter was a well-read and elegant woman, and she was married to the learned professor Alan Alfred, vice-chancellor of Oxford, the youngest son of a viscount!
The fourth daughter was a cheerful, delicate and clever little woman! She was married to Andy Benedict, the heiress of the London newspaper industry, a viscount!
The youngest daughter is innocent, beautiful, and a versatile angel! She is married to William Feodora, a tall and handsome officer, heir to an earl!
The advantage of having more daughters is that a small squire family can become a member of high society in the shortest possible time, as long as they have five sons-in-law with status!
