Maria did not expect Mr. Darcy to have anything to do with the notorious East India Company, and for a moment she felt a little unbearable, and this feeling was like dirt on the white paper.

Old Mr. Fox smiled and said, "The power of the Darcy family is not small, and owning the shares of the East India Company is nothing, in fact, the East India Company was established at the beginning just to broaden the sea trade route, and then it was deformed under the operation of people with good intentions......

After listening to her grandfather's description, Maria learned the inside story: "Now that the East India Company is still in full swing, do the other shareholders want to take the opportunity to annex the shares held by the Darcy family?" ”

"Not bad." Old Mr. Fox became more and more satisfied with his granddaughter's intelligence, and when he looked at his grandson who was still in the clouds, he suddenly became angry, why didn't this child grow up after being taught by him for so long! Then he thought of the arrogant Mr. Bentinck, and Mr. Fox Sr. rejoiced that his grandson was not such a frivolous man.

Glared at by his grandfather, little Mr. Lucas smiled, touched his hair, and didn't pay attention to it at all, he couldn't get used to being hit by Maria from childhood to adulthood, not to mention that he and Maria could be regarded as getting along day and night during this time, he admired Maria's intelligence and means, he knew very well that his wisdom was not as good as Charlotte and Maria, but he knew how to listen to smart people.

"Now that we know that Mr. Darcy is here, we still need to pay a visit, and it would be nice to ask for a letter." The reason why their trip went so smoothly was that letters from the Campbells and the Stoke family played a huge role, which is why Maria said so.

"I'll take care of this, Maria, you'd better not interfere." The old Mr. Fox naturally saw Mr. Darcy's appreciation for Maria, but the other party retreated because of Maria's background, which made him very dissatisfied as an elder, and naturally did not want Maria to get along with the other party too much.

Although old Mr. Fox did not want to admit it, it must be said that Mr. Darcy was indeed a very attractive gentleman, and Maria was young and unenlightened, but now she was old enough to talk about marriage, and she accidentally promised that it was her granddaughter who suffered. He never thought Maria was inferior to other noble ladies, but the world often judged a girl by her origin.

Darcy was thrilled to see little Mr. Lucas, and he almost asked how Maria could say this, but his reason finally stopped him, and now it became clear to him that he had fallen on Miss Maria Lucas. Darcy covered his forehead with his hand and groaned.

Mr. Roosevelt, the butler, glanced at the little master amusedly, like a young man who was deeply in love, well, it's good to be young! He became more and more curious about the young lady Maria, who had attracted the attention of her little master.

"Young Master, do you need to invite Mr. Fox and them to visit Waterley Manor?"

"Of course." Darcy barely hesitated.

Mr. Roosevelt, the butler, burst out laughing.

Darcy turned red, and his eyes were a little wandering, and he said, "Anyway, everyone is from England." ”

"Yes. I'm going to visit them. ”

"Forget it, I'll go myself."

Darcy fled in the butler's clear eyes, and when he walked out of the manor, he realized that he had done something stupid again, and the butler Mr. Roosevelt probably had already guessed his thoughts, but he didn't plan to run away this time, and if he really had to do it, what if he really had to do it, so what if he would admit it?

In fact, in addition to the fact that her background is not noble enough and her dowry is not rich enough, Miss Maria is really much better than those noble ladies with empty heads in other aspects. Oh no, he was wrong, Maria's dowry was not very rich, but she herself was definitely rich, and because of the partnership between the two sides, Darcy had roughly calculated Miss Maria's small coffers, which amounted to at least 30,000 pounds.

Thinking of this, Darcy sighed silently, Miss Maria's ability to make money far exceeds that of many gentlemen.

In fact, what Darcy didn't know was that Miss Maria's small coffers were rich, and she had used her historical knowledge to make a lot of pounds from the stock exchange in recent years, and her fortune had now exceeded eighty thousand pounds, which was the result of her fear of being targeted by others.

Seeing Mr. Darcy again, Maria was in a rare trance, she really hadn't seen Mr. Darcy for a long time, and now Mr. Darcy was more and more like the description of him in Pride and Prejudice......

Darcy looked at Miss Maria's trance-like expression, and his heart tingled, perhaps this young lady was not so unconcerned about his estrangement, and he felt unforgivable at the thought that Miss Maria would be sad about it.

Old Mr. Fox had to interrupt the two men and women, who were obviously both in a fugue, "Ahem, we may be able to come in and talk." ”

"Oh, sorry. Mr. Darcy, please come in. Maria hurriedly turned sideways to welcome Mr. Darcy in.

Darcy was uncomfortable with Old Mr. Fawkes's gaze, but he didn't shy away from it.

Old Mr. Fox clearly felt that this Mr. Darcy's mentality had changed, and the other party seemed to have let go of something, and his affection for Maria was no longer hidden, oh my God, he was thinking...... Old Mr. Fox's breathing was a little short of excitement at the thought of a possibility, but at the thought of this gentleman's antecedents, his feverish mind calmed down again, and he should not be in a hurry.

Emotional things, whoever is tempted first will lose, and at present, it seems that his granddaughter is obviously making a steady profit, and he just looks at it from the side.

After chatting for a while, Darcy invited: "Mr. Fox, it is inconvenient for you to stay in a hotel, and it is not nice to say that this is India, far less safe than London, why don't you move to the Darcy family's Waterley Manor?" ”

Old Mr. Fox agreed after a long silence, and Maria and the two naturally followed as juniors.

Waterley Manor was built with a very Indian flair, and according to Darcy, the estate was designed with the help of local designers.

Maria looked at the manor in front of her, and her eyes were full of admiration: it's good to be rich! I don't know if she can be like Darcy in this life, with her own manor all over the world.

Seeing the admiration in Maria's eyes, Darcy smiled and proposed, "When you get to England, please come to Bloomberg Manor." ”

"Yes, Maria must go to Bloomburley Manor, it's so beautiful, it's even more amazing than the Watley Manor in front of you......"
