[Pride and Prejudice] Mrs Bennett

Chapter 40

The visit of the Bennetts made the Pemberley Manor even more lively.

Although there was one more mistress in the manor not long ago, there were only four masters, and this huge manor was still somewhat empty.But now the hostess is pregnant soon after her wedding, and the next generation of the Darcy family is about to be born, making the manor in a joyful atmosphere from top to bottom.

But the joy was tinged with a little uneasiness.Many servants in Pemberley Manor have given birth to children, but among the masters there is no such experienced person who can manage the place.Therefore, the arrival of Mr. and Mrs. Bennett is very welcome. Mrs. Bennett, who has given birth to five children, is a great savior in the eyes of old Mr. Darcy and Fitzwilliam!

Grace asked Mr. Bennet to organize the salute, and she went to visit her newly pregnant daughter Elizabeth first.Grace frowned as soon as she walked into Elizabeth's living room under the guidance of the maid. The tightly closed doors and windows are not good for pregnant women at all!

"Liz, ask someone to open the window for some ventilation." Grace went to Elizabeth and sat down and held her hand. "Lack of air circulation can easily cause bacteria to grow, which is not good for you and your baby. Especially now it's spring again." , if you’re not careful, you’ll catch a cold easily.”

Elizabeth looked at her mother blankly. She understood every word Grace said, but she didn't understand it very well.

Her daughter's beautiful black eyes, which she inherited from her father, stared blankly at her, finally letting Grace understand that what she said was too advanced.Before this microscope appeared and bacteria were still the imagination of some scientists, her words were really shocking.

Grace smiled and patted Elizabeth's head: "You don't need to know the details about Liz, but you just need to leave a window for you and the baby in your womb."

Facing the smiling mother, Elizabeth felt a little cold on her back for some reason.However, she has been used to listening to her mother since she was a child, so she kindly called the servant to open the two windows on the side of the living room.

After the window was opened, Grace adjusted her mood and asked Elizabeth with concern: "How do you feel now? The first three months of pregnancy is a dangerous period where miscarriage is easy, Liz, you must be careful. This period is the best Don't have sex with Fitzwilliam, even if you have sex, there are some things you can't do, you know?"

"Mom!" Elizabeth's fair cheeks turned red.Grace's words were too explicit for a conservative Brit to accept so easily.

"There's nothing embarrassing about it, it's common sense." Grace patted the back of her hand reassuringly, "This is a private conversation between our mother and daughter, don't take it too seriously, that's how Jane and I greeted back then of."

Hearing that her sister had also been abused by her mother, Elizabeth finally calmed down a bit, and her face was no longer so red: "Mom, it's a good thing you and Dad are here, otherwise Fitzwilliam and I would have to write to invite you to come over."

"You are my daughter, and it is only right for me to take care of you when you are pregnant." Grace said with a natural attitude, "Don't think too much, didn't I take care of you the whole time when Jane was pregnant? You will know after you have experienced it once. Having children is not as scary as you think, reproduction is the instinct of all animals."

The corners of her eyes twitched a few times, and Elizabeth automatically put some words that Grace said into her left ear and out of her right ear.Sure enough, as Dylan and Jane said in the letter, my mother was greatly stimulated by the Collins brothers and sisters this time, and she often said some shocking things recently!

"But Liz, your dad and I are traveling across the country, so we won't stay at Pemberley Manor for too long. We will leave after you have stabilized your pregnancy for three months. During this period, I will talk about pregnancy and childbirth. Write it down first, and you just follow it.” Grace is very confident in Elizabeth. Before she got married, she paid great attention to the health of the children at home, otherwise she would be pregnant so soon!

"Mom..." Elizabeth was crying. For the first time, she felt that marrying Darcy was not as good as she thought, at least it was too far away from the Bennett's house!The Netherfield Manor of the Bingley family is very close to the Bennett family. When Jane was pregnant, Grace took a bunch of things to visit her daughter every now and then.

"Okay, you took care of Jane when she was pregnant, and it's not like you don't understand at all." Grace lowered her voice, "Liz, you know that Fitzwilliam still has the final say on this manor. There's an old Mr Darcy above him."

Elizabeth nodded reluctantly.Although the old Mr. Darcy didn't interfere much with her and Darcy's affairs, when he was still at the Bennett's house, the old Mr. Darcy and his mother had some unhappiness because of Aunt Catherine. Now she is just pregnant with her mother and It's right for Dad to come to see her, but it's not so good to stay here all the time.

What's more, there is Georgiana in Pemberley Manor. Whenever she thinks that this girl who is younger than herself will become her sister-in-law in a few years, Elizabeth will look very strange.The Bennett family is really a family that responds to a larger age gap between husband and wife. Except for the two-year gap between Jane and Charles, starting from Mr. Bennet and Grace, the gap between husband and wife is about seven or eight years old.

Although Elizabeth accepted it intellectually and thought a lot about it, it was not so easy to accept it emotionally.In the days that followed, Elizabeth forgot both Darcy and Mr. Bennet, and was only obsessed with Grace.In addition to the sense of security that Grace brought her, she was even more reluctant to leave her.

Even if Elizabeth and Fitzwilliam hit it off, being a wife is not the same as being a daughter.It is inevitable that there will be disagreements in life, and there is an old Mr. Darcy on the top and Georgiana on the bottom. After all, I am not as free as I was when I was still at the Bennett's house.

Grace and Mr. Bennett were fine on the Derbyshire side, and Elizabeth was visibly livelier.And when they are no longer husband and wife, she is no longer a daughter but the mistress of Pemberley Manor.She has to be dignified, not a little girl.

He also came from the newlyweds, and there was a married Jane in front of the Bennett house, and Grace was well aware of the second daughter's concerns.It's just that she can only give advice from the sidelines, how to live life and how to adjust her mentality is still up to Elizabeth herself.

After Elizabeth was three months pregnant, Grace left Derbyshire with Mr. Bennett.It's not that Langbourne doesn't have a housekeeper. Grace has also taught Elizabeth a lot in this short period of time, and she can just come back when she is about to give birth.

The couple started to travel in England, because they were not in a hurry, so the journey was slow all the way.Grace has traveled to this world and now she has become a grandmother to really appreciate the scenery of England. This place is very different from China, whether it is architecture or humanities.Even if Grace always thinks that everything in China is the best, he has to admit that England is also beautiful.

Seeing his wife's fascinated expression looking at the scenery outside the carriage, Mr. Bennett, who was sitting by the side, held her hand and looked out the window together.Since their marriage, it has been rare for the two of them to get along so leisurely. Mr. Bennett cherishes such a peaceful and warm atmosphere.

"Grace, I'm very glad that I married you."

The whispers in her ears brought Grace back to her senses from the beautiful scenery. She turned her head to meet Mr. Bennett's deep black eyes, and she understood, is he finally going to have a showdown with her?Cursing his lips and smiling, Grace just leaned into his arms like that: "I'm also very glad to have met you, Cecil."

She couldn't control time-traveling, and she didn't want to become someone else's fiancée after time-traveling.Fortunately, although I thought it was a good death at first, Lai Huo and this man were just living together, but after getting to know each other gradually, I have some ideas of wanting to live a good life.

Then the children came one after another, he was busy working hard outside, and she was his solid backing to raise the children.Then, when the eldest daughter was about to reach the age of marriage, she discovered that she had transmigrated into a world of western classics.

When she knew about it, she was panicked and helpless, but she quickly put all these negative emotions behind her.She has spent the most important twenty years of a woman's life in this world, has a husband who loves each other, and a few obedient and smart children, why bother to think about what is there and what is not.

The important thing is to live in the moment.

Holding her tightly, he smiled lowly: "Grace, my father is a very amazing person. He often taught me in private behind my mother's back, don't underestimate women. I still remember my father's earnest words ——'Women in this era are bound, but even so, there may be some characters among them. Cecil, if women are really as useless as men think, how can there be queens in history? How could there be a demon concubine or concubine? Remember, when those wise women really go all out, the results will definitely be shocking.'”

Grace became more and more shocked when she heard Mr. Bennett's words. She also found that Mr. Bennett was very different from the one in the original book, and guessed that he had his own secret, but she didn't expect the truth to be so!That old Mr. Bennett whom she had never seen before would have the same identity as her!

"Ce... Cecil, could it be?!"

"Father should come from that mysterious place like you, Grace." Mr. Bennett's face was full of nostalgia, "The legendary kingdom of God, the people living there live a happy and convenient life, all kinds of All kinds of rich materials, as well as inexhaustible knowledge of all kinds.”

Grace's face was embarrassed. She didn't expect that old Mr. Bennett to fool her son like this.Also, is it possible to tell my son that he is from the future, or that this is the world in the book?Thinking about it, the old Mr. Bennett never thought that this would be the world of famous novels. After all, it was farther away from the plot at that time.

But that's good too, Grace has taken advantage of it, so she won't have to think of excuses to fool Mr. Bennett.He is her husband, and she doesn't want to lie to him if possible.However, reality does not allow it.
