In fact, even if Darcy didn't propose, she wanted to take the time to see the famous Bloombury Manor, and Maria was too curious about the Bloomburly Manor described in Pride and Prejudice.

Immediately Mr. Fox Sr. spoke to Darcy about the purpose of his visit to India, and Darcy did not think there was anything to hide: "As soon as my father died, the other shareholders of the East India Company could not sit still, and they were desperate to swallow up the shares held by the Darcy family. And I have just taken over the Darcy family's business, and it is inevitable that I will be a little tired and lose sight of one or the other. ”

To put it bluntly, the partners of the Darcy family took advantage of the fire to rob, but Maria felt that this might be an opportunity for the Darcy family, don't look at the East India Company is now in full swing, but they don't know that the East India Company is in full swing, and the spring of the East India Company is almost over!

Darcy didn't expect Maria to praise his approach, and his heart suddenly sweetened: "I think so too, the East India Company is involved in too many interest groups, like a giant ship, if you are not careful, there will be a risk of capsizing, and the Darcy family can take the opportunity to disembark the incident." ”

"Doesn't the Darcy family have any other property in India other than these shares?"

"Maria!" Old Mr. Fox hurriedly spoke out to stop her, and his granddaughter really didn't treat herself as an outsider.

Darcy didn't mind at all, and waved his hand to signal old Mr. Fox not to get excited: "Mr. Fawkes, please don't get excited. There is nothing abrupt about this, and I believe Maria has good intentions. ”

Maria nodded sharply, no, she had just thought of something, and was about to talk to Darcy about working with her.

Old Mr. Fox glanced at his granddaughter helplessly, but since Mr. Darcy didn't mind, he wouldn't say anything more.

"The Darcy family had bought a large piece of land in Darjeeling earlier, but the yield of that land had not been very good, and the profits had been particularly thin in recent years. Many people secretly laughed at my father's blindness, and before his death, my father expressed his intention to take this opportunity to sell his land......"

"Absolutely not!" Maria blurted out the words of objection.

"......," said Mr. Darcy, looking at Maria amusedly, "My own idea is to see if I can try another crop, but if I can't sell it." ”

"......," said old Mr. Fox, who only wanted to sigh now.

Darjeeling! It was a sacred place that would later occupy most of the black tea market in England and other European countries, and Darjeeling black tea had a high price, and Maria would never allow Mr. Darcy to sell this land.

Darjeeling black tea is produced in the Darjeeling Plateau in the foothills of the Himalayas in the northern part of West Bengal Province, India. The No. 2 tea from May to June is of the best quality and is known as the "champagne of black tea". The No. 1 tea in March and April is mostly blue-green, and the No. 2 tea is golden. The soup is orange in color, fragrant and elegant, and the top grade is especially grape-scented, with a delicate and soft taste. Darjeeling black tea is best for light drinking, afternoon tea and after eating a full meal with a raw taste.

"Mr. Darcy, I would like to ask if the altitude of that land is?" The price of Darjeeling tea depends on the tea plantation, and generally the higher the altitude, the higher the value, which is almost the consensus in the hearts of countless people in later generations, and Maria naturally knows it. However, the reason why she knows so well is also due to the fact that her grandfather liked to drink Darjeeling black tea, which is a variety of tea from China.

Mr. Darcy replied with a very good feeling: "Since there were many nobles who chose to buy land in India in the first place, the Darcy family had no choice but to settle for the vast high-altitude area. ”

Maria clutched her chest excitedly, she now had only one thought in her mind - to get rich!!

"Miss Maria...... Miss Maria, what's wrong with you? ”

Mr. Darcy's worried voice sounded in her ears, and Maria turned her neck to come back to her senses: "I'm sorry, Mr. Darcy, I just thought of something, and I was too excited. ”

Mr. Darcy breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this: "It's good that you're okay. ”

Old Mr. Fox, who was watching from the sidelines, felt that he had no eyes, and as for little Mr. Lucas, he still did not understand his sister's thoughts......

Maria looked at Mr. Darcy with a puzzled face, how on earth was she going to open her mouth to negotiate with Mr. Darcy? What if Mr. Darcy doesn't believe her? She also wanted to buy a piece of land in Darjeeling, apparently the Lucas family did not have the power to hold this cornucopia, and in the end it was just a wedding dress for others.

Seeing this, Darcy said, "But there is something bad to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it. ”

"I know that land in Darjeeling can grow a plant that can make you a lot of money, so can you ......" Maria was too embarrassed to say something good, and she thought it was a bit too shameful to say a piece of news.

Darcy is also the person who has worked with Maria for many years, and Maria looks like this, she wants benefits, maybe dividends. I have to say that Darcy really knows his sweetheart, even little Mr. Lucas can see it at this moment, he can see it at a glance.

"If you can really make money, I will let you take a hundred percent of the profit."

"Really?" The smile on Maria's face couldn't be hidden.

Old Mr. Fox looked at it with a pain in the eyes, Maria, this stupid child, Darcy is shrewd, sooner or later he is from Darcy's family, what's wrong with giving you some dividends. By this time, if he could not see that Mr. Darcy was really coming this time, he would be blind. It is true that Mr. Darcy is a sincere gentleman, but he is also a good businessman, and he does not make a loss-making deal.

"Really." Darcy looked at Maria's smile dotingly, this picture of a money fan is really cute.

Little Mr. Lucas looked at his grandfather blankly, he always felt that the atmosphere was a little strange.

Old Mr. Fox glared at him angrily, yes, there is another blind man here, his sister is about to be taken away, and this one is still here ignorant and unconscious!

Receiving an affirmative reply, Maria no longer hid it: "The land in Darjeeling is very suitable for growing black tea, and the higher the altitude, the more mellow the taste of black tea, and according to the temperature in Darjeeling, the best picking season is strictly divided into spring, summer and autumn. Oh, and by the way, the tea tree variety is best black tea that was shipped from the Great Qing Dynasty. ”

Hearing this, Darcy was shocked, he did not doubt Maria's news at all, the two had known each other for many years, he knew that Maria was not a talk-at-mouth character, since she said so, then it must be true. Thinking about the large piece of land that the Darcy family bought, Rao is Darcy has always been steady, and he can't help but feel a little short of breath.

Mr. Fox Sr. didn't think his granddaughter would mess around, but the matter was so important that he always had to make sure again: "Maria, can you be sure that your words are true?" ”

"Of course."
