Chapter 70 The Princess Who Was Cannon Fodder in the Danmei Novel 20
At Pemberley Manor, Mrs. Reynolds received a letter from her own earl.
He found a talented young man for Miss Georgena in London!
Gerbert Greenwell, the third son of the Marquis of Greenwell!
Oh, Virgin Mary! Mrs. Reynolds was so excited that tears welled up in her eyes. Seeing her daughter grow up day by day, Miss George Anna never stopped looking at men, let alone having her heart aroused!
She once thought that her daughter would never marry and would spend her days hanging around in that women's textile factory.
Speaking of this, Mrs. Reynolds couldn't help but complain about her hostess who was far away in London.
Before, Georgiana had been trained as a normal noble lady and was very obedient. But after Princess Margaret became the mistress of the manor, Georgiana's education changed a lot.
Courses such as music, painting, and dance were placed in a secondary position, while horse riding, fencing learned by men, and even political topics gradually became the mainstream of the ladies' courses.
Which family would educate a noble lady like this?
How could Miss George Anna, who was brought up in such a way, win the favor of her husband?
Mrs. Reynolds was always worried, but unfortunately the young lady's mother had passed away long ago, and as a housekeeper, she couldn't say much.
A year ago, Miss Georgeanna had been managing a textile factory on the manor after graduating from a girls' school. All the employees in the textile factory were daughters of nearby farmers. After the factory was established, the loyalty of nearby tenant farmers to the Darcy family reached a new level.
She was really worried that the young lady would be obsessed with what men were supposed to do and would not want to get married.
The housekeeper, now having resolved her worries, happily took the earl's letter and went to find Georgeanna who was handling official business in the study.
"Let me go to London to attend the social season banquet and meet the son of the Marquis?" Georgiana said coldly without even raising her head.
"I'm not going!"
"Not going?" Mrs. Reynolds raised her voice. She grabbed the edge of the letter and said earnestly, "Miss, you must believe that the Earl will not harm you. The person he chooses for you must have been carefully selected."
"The child of the Marquis of Greenville must have a good family tradition. If the Earl and the Princess both think this person is suitable, why would you let them down?"
Seeing that Georgeanna was unmoved, Mrs. Reynolds brought up the princess again, hoping that the young lady would change her mind.
Unable to concentrate on her work, Georgeanna was annoyed by the housekeeper's nagging. She finally put down her pen and looked up at the housekeeper who had grown up with her.
Sighing, Georgiana smoothed the white hair on Mrs. Reynolds's head and said, "Madam Housekeeper, you have always played the role of a mother in my life since my mother passed away."
"I know you did all this for my own good. You hope that I can be like every other lady in the world, learn some art and literature, get married and have children, please my husband, spend half of the year at social dances, and the other half of the year worrying about my husband's lover. Then educate the next little George Anna and let her repeat my life."
Her blue eyes flashed with tears: "Is that right?"
Mrs. Reynolds opened her mouth, unable to speak, and stammered, "But...but everyone came here this way."
"You're right." George Anna sniffed and smiled with tears in her eyes: "But Princess Sister-in-law has opened my eyes to a new world. I can live well without relying on men. We women can also make money with our own hands and not be dependent on men!"
Thinking of her efforts over the past year, she said with pride: "Look, I can manage a factory with my own brain. My intelligence is not inferior to most men! Do you have the heart to let me live a life of being restrained and regarded as an inferior creature by men again?"
I could have endured the darkness if I had never seen the light.
But my sister-in-law led me out of the mist of the dark night, and I vaguely caught a glimpse of the glimmer of light before dawn.
Mrs. Reynolds was speechless. She said, "But, but what will you do when you are old?"
"Don't worry!" Georgena smiled and hugged the housekeeper, comforting her gently. "Do you think Ivis won't support me when I'm old?"
Now Mrs. Reynolds had no reason at all. So, let her be!
Accustomed to the confident Miss George Anna, the image of the shy little girl in my mind seems to be gradually blurring.
A week later, George Anna still boarded the carriage to London.
Because her sister-in-law, the princess, praised Gerbert Greenwell highly in the letter, saying that the two of them were a perfect match.
This made Georgeanna very curious. She wanted to see for herself where this person came from and why he received so much praise from her sister-in-law.
Darcy, who was far away in London, did not wait for his sister to arrive, but received a letter from his good friend Bentley first.
The letter said that he had met his true love in the village of Longbourn near London and wanted to marry her very much, so he wrote to ask Darcy's opinion.
???
Darcy was confused. Didn't his friend go to the countryside to relax? Why did he suddenly want to propose to a lady?
Moreover, the letter did not mention a word about the lady’s family background or social status. How could he give advice to his good friend?
How come after all these years, my friends are still so unreliable?
"What's wrong?" Margaret asked softly to her husband who was sitting at the desk in deep thought.
Darcy, who was awakened, crumpled up the ink-stained letter and threw it aside. He held his wife's hand, sighed helplessly, and told her about Benley.
Margaret raised her eyebrows. So the story of "Pride and Prejudice" has already begun. She glanced at her husband who was sighing and accusing her angrily. However, she already had this guy in her pocket, so the original story would not collapse.
"You say, he doesn't like so many noble daughters in the city, but he falls in love with a woman of unknown origin when he goes to the countryside and even wants to propose to her. Is he crazy?" Darcy was still complaining to his wife about his friend's unreliable behavior.
Too lazy to bother with these things, she interrupted her husband calmly: "I guess this woman must be very beautiful."
Darcy touched his nose awkwardly. His good friend was indeed easily tempted by beauty.
"How are you going to reply?"
"Of course, I'm telling Bentley not to act rashly. Marriage is a matter between two families, not a joke..."
If the story develops just like the novel, why does Darcy always play the role of the wicked grandmother who always beats her daughter?
"I don't recommend you to get involved in this matter." Margaret looked at her husband and said calmly, "You don't know the true situation of the girl, so the best thing to do is to send a letter to Viscountess House and let her meet the girl in person."
With the title of princess's companion, Caroline Bingley had a good marriage - she married Viscount House.
Darcy thought about it for a while and had to admit that his wife's approach was more appropriate.
So, after receiving the letter from the princess, the Viscountess hurried to Longbourn, wanting to see who the woman who was about to become her sister-in-law was.
