Chapter 150 English Country Love Story 12

Netherfield Manor, the new residents are talking about the residents of Longbourn.

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

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

She likes lively cities and doesn't like the countryside at all.

"The scenery here is nice, and the air is fresh." Mr. Bentley liked Longbourn quite a lot.

Caroline snorted: "But all the people coming and going here are a bunch of rubes."

Mr. Bentley said: "You can't say that. Sir William is a knight and has even met the king."

Caroline laughed: "He is just a nouveau riche who donated all his wealth to get such a title. If you want a title, you can get it with a little money."

Mr. Bingley felt that his sister's remarks were too harsh and disapproved: "Caroline, a lady would not comment on a gentleman like that."

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

Mr. Bingley's sister Louisa saw that her sister was silent and opened her mouth to lighten the atmosphere.

"Speaking of which, besides Sir William, there seems to be a squire named Bennet here in Longbourn who is also worthy of our friendship."

Mr. Bentley: "Yes, the butler has given me the invitation sent by Mr. Bennet before. Mr. Bennet invited us to have dinner at their home today."

Caroline pouted.

What's so delicious about dinner at a rich man's house in the country?

Caroline: "I don't feel well, so I won't go."

Louisa said: "I'll stay with Caroline and I won't go either."

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 house.

Mrs. Bennet entertained the two guests with great enthusiasm, and introduced her daughters to the two gentlemen even more enthusiastically.

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

Jane also developed a liking for Mr. Bingley.

Mr. Darcy's expression was cold, but his etiquette was very good.

However, when the girls saluted him and Mr. Bingley, a trace of surprise flashed in Darcy's eyes.

He never expected that a girl from such a rural place would know standard court etiquette. It was incredible.

Mr. Darcy did not show his surprise. He calmly told Mr. Bennet the truth.

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

This is a businessman with good vision.

Mr. Darcy's inner evaluation of Mr. Bennet.

Later, Mr. Darcy learned that Mr. Bennet owned a manor in Derbyshire.

This manor is not far away from his Pemberley Manor, but they are still neighbors.

Mr. Bennet's opinion in Mr. Darcy's heart has become higher.

Mr. Darcy talked about his Pemberley Manor.

Mr. Bennet laughed: "It turns out that Mr. Darcy is the owner of Pemberley Manor! When we went to the manor there for vacation, we heard that the scenery at Pemberley Manor was the best. Unfortunately, the owner was not at home, so he did not come."

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

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

Mrs. Bennet had already directed the servants to bring all the dishes to the table.

The food was very rich, and many of the dishes had never been seen by Mr. Bingley or Mr. Darcy.

This surprised Mr. Bingley, who prided himself on being well-informed, and asked Mrs. Bennet for advice.

"Oh, this is egg tart, this is roast chicken with honey sauce..."

Mrs. Bennet introduced the dishes to the guests one by one, and she was very proud when she saw Mr. Bingley's expression of amazement.

"Jian made the egg tarts and red wine braised beef. Her cooking skills are the best among the girls."

With Mrs. Bennet's cleverness, she had already figured out that Mr. Bingley fell in love with Jane at first sight.

Hehe, she just said it.

Our own Jane is the most beautiful girl within ten miles, and any man will be attracted by her when he sees her.

"Ms. Jane made it?" Mr. Bingley immediately extended his mouth to the two dishes.

“Delicious! So delicious!”

Mr. Bentley did not hesitate to praise: "This is the most delicious food I have ever eaten."

Mr. Darcy thinks that friends are too exaggerated.

But after taking a bite of Bennet's food, he discovered that although his friend was exaggerating, he was telling the truth.

The food at Bennet's house is really delicious.

Mr. Darcy buried his head in eating.

His movements are elegant but very fast.

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

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

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

"What are these?" Caroline asked.

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

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

Mr. Bentley: "It's much tastier than that."

Caroline only thought Mr. Bingley was exaggerating.

Mr. Hester is a foodie, and his mouth watered when he saw the exquisite snacks.

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

"Well..." Mr. Hester'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.

As his wife, Luisa saw his reaction and knew that the snack was really delicious, so she also picked up a piece and tasted it.

"Caroline, try it. These snacks are really delicious."

Caroline ate a piece of pastry and had to admit, these snacks were really delicious.

“I never expected that you can eat such delicious food in the countryside.”

Mr. Bennet: "The Bennet family is not an ordinary squire's family. Mr. Bennet has a lot of investment businesses in London. He also owns a manor in Derbyshire."

"What? A manor in Derbyshire?" Caroline looked at Mr. Darcy in surprise, "Mr. Darcy, do you know their family's manor?"

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

Caroline was very wary. She heard that the Bennet family had five daughters, and they could be considered neighbors with Mr. Darcy.

Could it be that those girls would 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!
