It is indeed not a trivial matter.
The British royal family attaches great importance to this matter, and the Queen specially promoted Liu Hieragi's title for this purpose.
He is now a Marquis.
Liu Heng returned to his manor and sent his men to repair the manor, buy wedding supplies, and decorate the manor.
Everything is ready, just waiting for him to welcome his bride in a few months.
Liu Heng remembered that there was one more thing he had not done.
He has not yet contacted Bennett.
This family is still worried about limiting the inheritance law
Liu Hiong took out a pen and paper and wrote a letter to Mr. Bennet.
On this day, after breakfast, Mr. Bennet said to his wife, "My good wife, I hope you will prepare better lunch today, because I predict that there will be guests today." ."
"The guest" Mrs. Bennet asked, "Male or female"
Mr. Bennet "is a male guest"
Mrs. Bennet's eyes lit up, "Is it Mr. Bingley? It must be him. Hey, he must be here for Jane."
Mr. Bennet interrupted his wife, "It's not Mr. Bingley." "I have never seen this gentleman before."
Mrs. Bennet wondered, "Who is that?"
The Miss Bennets were also very curious. Looking at their father, waiting for an answer.
Mr. Bennet explained to them, "About two weeks ago, I received a letter. The owner of the letter said that he was coming to visit me, an elder."
"Elder "Elizabeth, the smartest second daughter, let's call her Liddy here in order to distinguish herself from the queen, her mind started to work.
The younger generation of Mr. Bennet should be relatives of their family.
They are not relatives on the mother's side, but are familiar with their aunt's family and uncle's family.
Then there are only relatives on the father’s side.
And for her father to pay so much attention
Liddy spat out the word "limit the inheritance rights."
Mr. Bennet gave his favorite two The daughter gave an appreciative look, "Yes, he is the heir to the Longbourn estate, my cousin William Collins."
At this time, the faces of the women in the Bennet family all looked bad.
Mrs. Bennet even cursed loudly, saying that her property could not be inherited by her five biological daughters, but it was given to someone who had nothing to do with them. This was really unreasonable.
Her two younger daughters, Katie and Lydia, echoed her words loudly.
Mr. Bennet was troubled by their voices and stopped them, "Well, even if you keep making trouble, the fact that Longbourn's property ultimately belongs to Mr. Collins will not change. In this case , why not receive this gentleman well, at least don't let this gentleman underestimate you."
Mr. Bennet reminded his wife, "This gentleman will arrive at four o'clock in the afternoon.Longbourn, and he brought a friend with him. Dear madam, you have to ask the maid to clean the two rooms quickly. There is also dinner, which must also be prepared, so that the guests cannot think that our family is impolite. ”
Mrs. Bennet muttered dissatisfiedly, but still went to tell the servant to do things.
She must do the best thing so that Collins cannot underestimate their family. .
Jane and Liddy got together to talk about the new cousin and commented on the illegality of limiting inheritance rights.
Liddy sighed, "Now I can only hope that my father can survive." A little longer. ”
Jian said, “I hope my future husband can accept me taking my mother home to support her.” ”
Liddy frowned as she thought of Mrs. Bennet’s usual behavior.
If possible, she hoped that Mrs. Bennet would walk in front of Mr. Bennet.
Of course, as a daughter, she hopes that both her parents will be healthy and live a long life.
Time flies and it’s afternoon in a blink of an eye. Two carriages entered Longbourn.
The residents of Longbourn saw the family crest on the carriage and speculated which big shot was coming to Longbourn's home. The badge is only owned by nobles.
Everyone was jealous when they saw the carriage parked at the door of Bennet's house. All good things happen to the Bennet family
Mr. Bingley of Netherfield Manor admires their eldest daughter, and now another noble person comes to their home
The Bennet family. The people were also shocked when they saw the family crest on the carriage.
Is Mr. Collins’s companion a noble?
They did not think that Mr. Collins was a noble.
< p>The family has been staying in the country. Although they have frequent contact with the Gardiner family who live in London, Mr. Gardiner is just a businessman and is not in the same circle of aristocrats, so naturally he does not know about Mr. Collins. < p>The door of the first carriage opened, and two men got out of the carriage one after another.They were both tall men, about 25 or 26 years old. He is tall and straight and handsome, no less handsome than Mr. Bingley and Mr. Darcy. He has a noble temperament and looks like an elegant gentleman.
Another man in his early thirties, equally tall. He is tall and straight, with a high nose and tight lips, giving people a firm and decisive look.
Both of them are wearing high-end suits, which makes it difficult for Mrs. Bennet and the ladies to tell which one is which. It was Mr. Collins.
Liu Heng took a step forward and said, "Good day, ladies. My name is William Collins. This one is my friend, Colonel Brandon. "
Hearing the word "Colonel", the two youngest Miss Bennet's eyes lit up and they stared at Colonel Brandon.
Colonel Brandon I feel embarrassed to be stared at by them.
These two.The young lady's gaze was so intense that she seemed to want to melt him.
It seems that these two ladies like officers very much.
Colonel Brandon knew that the appearance of officers in military uniforms was very attractive to young girls.
Brandon greeted the Bennet family politely, and the Bennet family had a very good initial impression of him.
Especially Mrs. Bennet and her two little daughters.
Mrs. Bennet is a gentleman. She is also an officer. I don’t know if she is married. If she is still single, there is hope for her daughter. Doesn’t Lydia like an officer? This Brandon Colonel suited him just right.
After Liu Heng met Mr. Bennet, he asked his servant to give him a gift.
He prepared gifts for everyone.
Lydia and Katie couldn't wait to open the gift box and exclaimed when they saw the jewelry inside.
"So beautiful"
The other members of the Bennet family looked over and were surprised when they saw the box in their hands.
Mr. Bennet said, "It's too expensive."
This jewelry is worth hundreds of pounds each, and his cousin spent a lot of money.
Looking at his attire, he doesn’t look like he’s short of money.
Then why did he come to Longbourn?
It doesn’t look like he wants to take over his property in advance.
What’s more, while Mr. Bennet is still alive, the property will not belong to Mr. Collins. Please remember to collect it, the latest and fastest website without anti-theft, free to find books and add books, you can join the qq group 952868558
