Chapter 160: Pride and Prejudice II
Alvar Bennett!
This is Bennett's youngest child, the heir, and his name is a testament to the family's expectations and affection for him!
Alva is a strong, smart, kind, and lovable child!
Since Alvar Bennett was born, the Bennett family has been rejuvenated!
Mrs. Bennet is now the most nurturing, kind, and gracious mother, and she has become more sensible! all for the sake of her baby Alva!
In order to devote herself to the care of the belated heir to the Bennet family, Mrs. Bennet asked her brother in London to find a very good governess, for she really did not have the energy to take care of her five daughters! And her Alva deserves the best! The best mother, the best sister! Mrs. Bennet thinks that Lydia is right! In order to be the best mother, she is willing to study from now on!
Mr. Bennet had never felt so good! He had a son! He had a new lease on life! He no longer had to worry about his wife and daughters being kicked out of the house one day! His Alva was so lovely! He was the savior of the Bennett family! He saved his mother and sisters! Lydia was right! Langborn's estate was so small, he had to earn a fortune worthy of him for his Alva! When Alva grew up, he would go to university in Oxford, and after graduating from college, he would inherit the estate he had founded for him! That couldn't be better!
The Bennett's two older daughters feel that their lives have been getting better and better since their brother was born! Mom no longer pushes them to find a rich bachelor to marry, nor does she force them to dance at every dance party!
The three youngest daughters of the Bennett family said that they were very satisfied with the new governess! Miss Ingrid, the governess of Chinese New Year's Eve, was born into a declining aristocracy, had good conversation and elegant manners, was proficient in many of the necessary talents of a lady, such as musical instruments, painting, singing, etc., and was extremely good at household management. Whether it's the older Jane, the intelligent Elizabeth, the book-loving Mary, the unassertive Katie, or the frivolous and naïve Lydia, they can all learn from her what interests them!
Luckily, Miss Ingrid taught the Bennett daughters to be more practical than just to find a good husband!
And the reason why she was able to hire such a good tutor as Miss Ingrid was not only the luck of the Bennett family, but also the luck of Manjoo's family! Manjoo made full use of her abilities and spent a lot of energy and money to find this excellent tutor who was most suitable for Bennett's family!
In fact, Miss Ingrid is not a governess, she is a real aristocratic lady from a famous family! But because the family without an heir has declined, she not only suffers all kinds of pain from the family side and the failure of her marriage, but also because she has been framed and cannot stay in London anymore! At this time, Miss Ingrid, who is anxious to leave, meets Manzhu, although the Bennett family is only a small country squire family, but she has the same experience and loves the five daughters of the Bennet family and the newborn heir, so that she finally stays. And she has been forced to stay in an unknown small village, working as a tutor for a small squire family with many daughters and can't afford to hire a housekeeper, and there is no chance to turn over, and the people who framed her will no longer deal with her!
Under the influence of Miss Ingrid, the person who changed the most and fastest was, to everyone's surprise, Mrs. Bennet! Now, she can really be said to be a good wife and mother who is gentle and considerate, who advances and retreats in moderation, and cares for her family! It may be that her wish for many years has finally come true, and she is like a pearl in a river mussel stripped of its thick shell, and it becomes clear and bright! No longer gossiping everywhere, taking care of her son at home every day, listening to Miss Ingrid's teachings with her daughters, listening to her daughters playing music, reading books, her temperament gradually became more restrained and calm, her demeanor became elegant and her temperament became more leisurely, and she began to love life more and more!
God! What a surprise for everyone! Especially Mr. Bennet, who is now passionately in love with his wife again, and Mrs. Bennet is so beautiful now, this is the good wife of his dreams!
However, Manjoo thinks that the main reason why Mrs. Bennet has changed so much is because of Miss Ingrid's sense of crisis! Although Bennet has a beautiful appearance, she has no good upbringing, she is a typical straw bale beauty! And Miss Ingrid's talent makes her suffer a powerful impact, and Mrs. Bennet, who has an extraordinary talent in the relationship between men and women, is sensitive to the perception that such a woman is Mr. Bennet's favorite type!
Although I don't worry that Miss Ingrid will like Mr. Ingrid, after all, Miss Ingrid is still young! But out of feminine and self-esteem as a mother, Mrs. Bennet does not want to be compared to Miss Ingrid's excellence, she wants to behave better in front of her daughter and husband, and most importantly, she wants to be the perfect mother in the mind of her precious son Alva!
When Manjoo heard that Nigerfeld Gardens had been rented out by a wealthy bachelor from London, the little heiress of the Bennett family was almost a year old! And after more than a year of teaching by Miss Ingrid, the five Miss Bennetts who appeared before Mr. Darcy and the Bingley family were already the brightest, most beautiful, most cultured, most talented, and most admired Lady of Langborn!
The five young ladies of the Bennet family were the most popular ladies at the ball! Although only the three older ladies came to the ball, and the two younger Miss Bennett only came to the ball to see the world, they did not dance with anyone, but only stayed with their mothers, but there were still many men and women who were willing to talk to them! No one, young or old, did not like them! They had admirable beauty, kind and gentle conversation, elegant and charming manners! And they were versatile! They are like dragons' treasures, exuding infinite charm! You never know how enchanting they will shine in the next moment!
The eldest lady of the Bennett family is the most satisfying choice of daughter-in-law in every mother's heart; the second lady is the most beautiful and beautiful, shrewd and capable, and is the favorite wife candidate in every man's mind; the third lady is knowledgeable, graceful, elegant, erudite, and the favorite daughter-in-law of every scholarly family; the fourth lady is lively, cheerful, delicate, and ingenious, and is the most fascinated sweetheart of every young man; the youngest daughter is innocent, beautiful, and versatile, and is the angel loved by everyone!
There is also the humorous and steady Mr. Bennet, the amiable and charming Mrs. Bennet! and the new member of their family, the lovely little Alva! The Bennets are so likable, they are so enviable!
Even if he was as arrogant as Darcy lowered his arrogant head and talked to Mr. Bennet cordially! Not to mention the very good-natured Mr. Bingley, who had been attracted to the Bennett family since he had met and visited the Bennets! Although he did not report to Bennet's house every day, he would visit him two days out of three days, so Mr. Darcy became a frequent visitor to Bennet's house!
Don't get me wrong, Mr. Darcy wasn't attracted to the pretty daughters of the Bennett family, he went to Bennett's house to talk to Mr. Bennett, and secondly, he had tea and chatted with the eldest lady of the Bennett family and talked about the experience of raising his sister!
In the past, Miss Jane of the Bennet family was known as a gentle vase beauty, no matter who she faced, she didn't have a little temper, and anyone could vent their inner dissatisfaction with her! But Jane, who is now in charge of the housekeeping and finances of the family, not only has amazing beauty and intoxicating gentleness, but her personality charm makes her sisters worship and respect!
Mr. Bingley, who has a good temperament, seems to prefer to revolve around the brilliant and lovely Miss Elizabeth! He is a little afraid of Jane, who is amazingly beautiful but likes to discipline people, and talking to the witty Elizabeth makes him feel like a spring breeze and no pressure.
And Bennet's three talented little sisters are very endearing, who can resist the erudite and easy to be a teacher, Katie, who is ingenious and extraordinary, and Lydia, who is good at singing and dancing, and is keen and studious? Mr. Darcy even took his sister Miss Darcy over, hoping that she would become good friends with the three little sisters of the Bennett family!
After Miss Darcy came to Bennet's house, she quickly became good friends with the ladies of Bennet's house! Shy, shy, and beautiful, she was immediately accepted by the Bennett ladies and loved by them! Miss Darcy especially liked Jane, who had the demeanor of an eldest sister, and was very infatuated with her gentleness, even Jane disciplined her, and she liked it too! Miss Darcy said that Jane made her feel her mother's care, and she was like a clingy koala, following Jane every day, even at night, and sleeping with her at night! So much so that when she was about to go to a girls' school, she cried sadly and refused to leave! Finally, the three little daughters of the Bennett family decided to accompany her to the girls' school, which convinced her to let Jane get rid of this pestering little sister for a while!
Miss Darcy is never alone again! With Mary, Katie, and Lydia in the school, she will follow her back to Bennet's house for the holidays to find her favorite big sister Jane! If Mr. Darcy hadn't finally married Jane home, Miss Darcy would have been Jane's dowry and married!
Originally, Mr. Bennet had begun to expand the original Langborn industry last year, increasing the number of horses and sheep breeding, and this year he also tried sheep side-industries, goat milk, mutton, and wool processing, with the cooperation of the erudite Mary, the ingenious Katie, and the amazing imagination of Lydia, Bennett's table added many delicacies, such as almond milk tea, goat milk biscuits, goat milk cake, fruit milk tea, braised mutton radish, curry mutton soup, grilled mutton skewers, mutton patties, mutton hot pot, etc. Gloves, socks, towels, accessories!
Uncle Gardner, who was very business-minded, tried to sell some of Bennett's leftover products in his shop, and the results were very popular! They soon decided to cooperate to open a processing factory, and officially put into production, and next year not only to expand the scale of Langborn Farm, increase the breeding of sheep, but also prepare to buy more sheep in large quantities!
Because of his close association with Uncle Gardner, coupled with the various finished products made by the Bennet sisters in the family, Mr. Bennet was particularly interested in the textile industry! Mr. Bennet was interested in investing in more industries, so under Mr. Gardner's introduction, he tried to invest in a cotton textile mill and learned how to run it. If the economy allows, next year Mr. Bennet is ready to buy a cotton mill of his own to produce the household articles that his daughters have invented.
Life is getting better and better for the Bennets!
