30. Honeymoon returns

With Charlotte getting married, Lucas's cottage felt much quieter for a moment.

Mrs. Lucas had been worried about Charlotte's life at her husband's house lately, and she had met Charlotte's two sisters-in-law on the day of the wedding, and neither of them seemed to be getting along.

Sir William felt that Mrs. Lucas was purely worried: "Charlotte does not live with her concubine, what do you have to worry about?" ”

Mrs. Lucas rolled her eyes angrily: "What do you know as a big man?" ”

A sentence choked Sir William back, and Sir William shrugged helplessly, indicating that he didn't care.

In fact, Maria also wanted to say that her mother was too worried, but fortunately she was half a beat slower than Sir William, otherwise she would have been trained. Charlotte is married, and Yaros is not young, and it is estimated that she will marry a wife in a short time, she ...... At most, it can be delayed until Alos marries, otherwise Mrs. Lucas will probably be like Mrs. Bennet.

Antonio Ferguson, the new brother-in-law, is now on his honeymoon with Charlotte, and although no one is urging the draft, Maria still maintains her original focus on speed writing, and once again saves some manuscripts.

Time flies, "The Biography of Emperor Kangxi" really caused a sensation in the Nine Dragons, Maria can be regarded as pushing Emperor Kangxi to the world with her own strength, the world's evaluation of him is mixed, some people say that he is resourceful, all his sons are not his opponents, and some people say that he is ruthless, even the prince he raised with his own hands can be said to be wasted, and finally the value of the waste prince is squeezed clean......

Mr. Antonio Ferguson learned that the book had been published and returned to Hertfordshire without stopping.

The freshly baked Mrs. Charlotte Ferguson has a ruddy complexion, and it can be seen that the other party is living a pretty good life.

Mrs. Lucas, who had been worried, could finally rest assured this time, Maria really couldn't stand her mother's three days and two ends, she felt that if this continued, her mother would sooner or later become the next Mrs. Bennet.

Charlotte was amused by her sister's exaggerated description: "Don't say that about Mom. Maria, I miss you too. ”

Maria suddenly laughed: "I thought you were happy?" ”

"As far as you can say, how can I miss you when I leave home at first. You can rest assured, Maria, I'm doing pretty well right now. Mrs. Ferguson did have a mediocre attitude towards me at first, but in your words, Antonio was very good at regulating the relationship between his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and our relationship soon became harmonious. As for the other two little Mrs. Ferguson, Charlotte did not mention them, and in her eyes they were not important and could not have caused trouble in her life.

"I wonder what I'm going to do in the future?" Maria's melancholy look may be due to Charlotte's marriage, and Mrs. Lucas has recently put a lot of energy into herself. If it weren't for Mr. Darcy's brilliant suitor, Maria felt like she was going to have trouble going on a blind date.

"Mom said about you?"

"Hmm. What my mother used to say to you is now all used by me. Actually, I don't want to get married, it's just that I'm still too young, so why should I think about getting married after I am 20 years old. ”

"Perhaps you can use Mr. Darcy as a shield, and I'm sure Mr. Darcy will be more than glee. And Maria, why do you have to remarry after the age of 20? ”

Maria choked suddenly, she couldn't say that 20 years old in her previous life was the age of marriage.

Charlotte spread her hands and said, "You see you don't know why, since that's the case, why don't you get married earlier?" I heard Antonio analyze it for me, Mr. Darcy is a famous golden beetle son-in-law in high society, if you don't grasp it, what if there is a shameless young lady who snatches Mr. Darcy away by shady means? ”

Seeing that Maria was about to open her mouth to refute, Charlotte shook her head and said, "Maria, please don't refute my words. Antonio secretly told me that his sister-in-law had married in that way, and that his niece Anne had conceived before marriage. ”

Maria's eyes widened in surprise, this is the legendary borrowed belly? She said, the Ferguson family is not an ordinary family, how can there be such a future housewife who is not on the stage, and dares to use other means.

Although she has confidence in Mr. Darcy, Charlotte's worries are not unreasonable, there are so many accidents that happen every year, who can guarantee that Mr. Darcy will never be tricked!

"If Mr. Darcy had proposed to me, I would have agreed, but I insisted on getting married at the age of 20."

Charlotte laughed, "Okay. I ought to be glad that you are now nineteen years old, otherwise Mr. Darcy would not be very pitiful. ”

Maria smiled too, she could feel Charlotte's more liberal personality after she got married, perhaps influenced by Mr. Ferguson.

"Mr. Darcy has been very busy lately, and it will take at least two or three years for him to fully take over the business of the Darcy family, and he is estimated to go back to South America, oh, he also needs to go to Africa, otherwise the people below will inevitably be unsatisfied." Maria thought that Mr. Darcy probably wouldn't have asked for marriage in the next year or two, after all, he didn't have time.

Charlotte gave Maria a meaningful look and smiled, "You know very well about Mr. Darcy's current situationβ€”"

Maria didn't squirm either, and admitted directly: "We have a correspondence between us. ”

Then Charlotte asked with some curiosity: "Mr. Darcy also has an industry in Africa?" ”

"He has a diamond mine in Africa." Not to mention Charlotte, even Maria was quite shocked when she first learned about it, but she did not make a request to go to Africa with her, because now that the slave trade is prevalent, the diamond mines in Africa are probably full of black slaves, and she doesn't want to go to that kind of bloody place for the time being.

Hearing that Charlotte was more and more frightened by Mr. Darcy's wealth, that is, Maria was not moved by it, and a young girl would have fallen under Mr. Darcy's trousers.

Maria naturally knows Charlotte's thoughts, but although she loves money, she is not short of money, money is not brought to life or death, as long as it is enough. And she felt in her heart that Mr. Darcy would be tempted by her, and that she had never coveted his money, which definitely played a large role.

It's hard to say whether Elizabeth can attract Mr. Darcy in the original book or not, but Maria feels that Elizabeth definitely doesn't belong to the existence of money as dung, and a Bloomburly estate makes her think. In fact, this routine is very common in modern society, and it can only be said that Mr. Darcy still has less knowledge.
