The journey of the heavens by Jia Huan, the salted fish

Chapter 150 English Country Love Story 12
Netherfield Manor. The new residents are talking about the residents of Longbourn.

"I don't know why you chose such a country place to live, Charles."

The young lady complained disapprovingly. She was Mr. Bingley's sister, Caroline.

She likes the bustling city, not the country at all.

"The scenery here is beautiful, and the air is fresh." Mr. Bingley liked Longbourne quite a bit.

Caroline snorted, "But the people here are all bumpkins."

Mr. Bingley said: "You can't say that, Sir William is a Sir, and he has seen the king."

Caroline snorted: "He's just a nouveau riche, and he got such a title by donating all his family wealth. If you want a title, you can get it for a little money."

Mr. Bingley felt that what his sister said was too harsh, so he disapproved and said: "Caroline, a lady would not comment on a gentleman like that."

Caroline was not convinced, and wanted to say something, but her eyes touched Mr. Darcy, she stopped the words that rushed to her mouth, and resumed her ladylike appearance.

Mr. Bingley's sister, Louisa, saw that her sister was silent, so she opened her mouth to ease the atmosphere.

"Speaking of which, apart from Sir William, there seems to be another squire named Bennet in Longbourn, which is also worthy of our friendship."

Mr. Bingley: "Yes, the butler has given me the invitation letter sent by Mr. Bennet. Mr. Bennet invited us to their house for dinner today."

Caroline pouted.

What's delicious for dinner at the rich man's house in the country?

Caroline: "I'm not feeling well, so I won't go."

Louisa said: "I will stay with Caroline, and I will not go."

Mr. Bingley's brother-in-law, Mr. Hurst, also said, "Then I won't go either."

In the end, only Mr. Bingley and Mr. Darcy accepted the invitation and went to the Bennet's house.

Mrs. Bennet entertained the two guests very warmly, and introduced her daughters to the two gentlemen even more enthusiastically.

Like the original novel, Mr. Bingley fell in love with Jane at first sight.

Jane also took a liking to Mr. Bingley.

Mr. Darcy's expression was indifferent, but his decorum was in place.

However, when all the girls saluted him and Mr. Bingley, Darcy's eyes flickered with surprise.

He didn't expect that a girl in such a rural place would know the standard court etiquette, which is incredible.

Mr. Darcy didn't show his surprise, he calmly told Mr. Bennet the facts.

The two talked about business matters, and Mr. Darcy found that most of the businesses invested by him and Mr. Bennet overlapped.

This is a businessman with a good eye.

Mr. Darcy evaluated Mr. Bennet in his heart.

After that, Mr. Darcy knew that Mr. Bennet owned a manor in Derbyshire.

This manor is not far from his Pemberley manor, but they are also neighbors by barely counting.

Mr. Bennet's opinion of Mr. Darcy was again higher.

Mr. Darcy spoke of his Pemberley estate.

Mr. Bennet smiled: "It turns out that Mr. Darcy is the owner of Pemberley Manor! When we went to the manor over there for vacation, we heard that Pemberley Manor had the best scenery. It's a pity that the owner was not at home, so he didn't come."

Mr. Darcy: "I hereby sincerely invite Mr. Bennet and your family to Pemberley."

Mr. Bennet: "Thank you for your invitation."

Mrs. Bennet has ordered the servants to bring all the dishes to the table.

The menu was very rich, many of which were new to Mr. Bingley and Mr. Darcy.

This surprised Mr. Bingley, who claimed to be well-informed, and asked Mrs. Bennet for advice.

"Oh, this is an egg tart, this is a roasted chicken with honey sauce..."

Mrs. Bennet introduced the dishes to the guests one by one, and she was very proud to see Mr. Bingley's astonishment.

"The egg tarts and red wine beef stew are made by Jane, and her cooking skills are the best among the girls."

With Mrs. Bennet's cleverness, she has seen that Mr. Bingley fell in love with Jane at first sight.

Hey, she just said it.

My own Jane is the most beautiful girl within a ten-mile radius, and any man will fall in love with her when he sees her.

"Miss Jane made it?" Mr. Bingley immediately stretched out his mouth towards the two dishes.

“Delicious! So delicious!”

Mr. Bingley did not hesitate to praise himself: "This is the most delicious food I have ever tasted."

Mr. Darcy thought his friend was exaggerating.

But after eating a bite of Bennet's food, he found that although his friend exaggerated a bit, he was telling the truth.

The food at Bennet's is really delicious.

Mr. Darcy buried himself in his food.

His movements are graceful, yet fast.

The two had a very pleasant dinner time at Bennet's house. When they left, Mrs. Bennet asked the servant to prepare some pastries for them to pack and take away.

Mr. Bingley took the pastry box, glanced at the smiling Jane, reluctantly said goodbye and left.

The two returned to Netherfield Manor, handed the box to the servant, and the servant served it on a plate.

"What are these?" Caroline asked.

Bentley: "It's a snack from Bennet's family. It tastes very good."

Caroline curled her lips: "How good is it? Can you have the delicious snacks sold by the best cake shop in London?"

Mr. Bingley: "It's much better than that."

Caroline only thought Mr. Bingley was exaggerating.

Mr. Hurst is a foodie, and when he saw the exquisite dim sum, he already started to drool.

At this time, he grabbed a snack with one hand and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Hmm..." Mr. Hurst's eyes widened, "It's delicious! It's so delicious!"

He opened his mouth with both hands, and kept grabbing snacks and stuffing them into his mouth.

Seeing his reaction, Luisa, his wife, knew that the dim sum was really delicious, so she also picked up a piece and tasted it.

"Caroline, try it, these pastries are really delicious."

Caroline ate a piece of the pastry, and had to admit, they were really delicious.

"It's unexpected that such delicious food can be eaten in the countryside."

Mr. Bingley: "The Bennet family is not an ordinary country gentleman's family. Mr. Bennet has a lot of investment businesses in London, and he also owns a manor in Derbyshire."

"What? The manor in Derbyshire?" Caroline looked at Mr. Darcy in surprise, "Mr. Darcy, do you know their manor?"

Mr. Darcy: "Yes, I just don't know that the owner of the manor is Mr. Bennet."

Caroline was very vigilant. She heard that the Bennet family had five daughters, and they were neighbors with Mr. Darcy.

Could it be, would those girls rely on this relationship to get close to Mr. Darcy?

Mr. Bingley: "Miss Bennet is the most beautiful and gentle girl I have ever seen..."

Caroline: Be more wary of the Bennet daughter!
