It's really no small 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 meet 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.
Is this family still worried about limiting the inheritance law?
Liu Hiiragi 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. .”
"Guest?" Mrs. Bennet asked, "Male or female?"
Mr. Bennet: "It's a male guest."
Mrs. Bennet's eyes widened. Then it lit up: "Is it Mr. Bentley? It must be him. Hehe, he must be here for "He came with Jane..."
Mr. Bennet interrupted his wife: "It's not Mr. Bingley. I have never seen this gentleman."
Banner. Mrs. Te wondered: "Huh? Who is that?"
Several Miss Bennets were also very curious and looked at their father, waiting for the answer.
Mr. Bennet explained their doubts: "About two weeks ago, I received a letter. The owner of the letter said that he was coming to visit me, an elder."
"Elder? "The brain of Elizabeth, the smartest second daughter - let's call her Liddy to distinguish her from the queen - started to work.
Mr. Bennet’s juniors should be relatives of their family.
They are not relatives on the mother's side, but their aunt's family and uncle's family are all familiar to them.
Then there are only relatives on the father's side.
And for her father to pay so much attention to it...
Liddy spat out a word with a bad expression: "Limit the right of inheritance."
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 , it is better to receive this gentleman well, at least not to let this gentleman underestimate you."
Mr. Bennet reminded himself. His wife: "This gentleman will arrive at Longbourn at four o'clock in the afternoon, and he will also bring a friend with him. Dear madam, you have to ask the servants to clean the two rooms quickly. There is also dinner, which must also be prepared. Well, we can’t let the guests think that our family is rude.”
Mrs. Bennet muttered dissatisfiedly, but still went to order the servants to do things.
She must do her best so that Collins cannot underestimate their family.
Jane and Liddy got together to talk about the new cousin and the illegality of limiting inheritance rights.
Liddy sighed: "Now I can only hope that my father can live longer."
Jian said: "I hope that 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 wanted Mrs. Bennet to go before Mr. Bennet.
Of course, as a daughter, she hopes that both her parents will be healthy and live a long life.
Time passed quickly, and it was afternoon in a blink of an eye. Two carriages entered Longbourn.
The residents of Longbourn saw the family crest on the carriage, and they all speculated which big shot had come to Longbourn.
The family crest is only owned by nobles.
I saw the carriage parked at the door of Bennet's house.
For a while, everyone was jealous.
Why do all the good things happen to the Bennet family?
Mr. Bingley of Netherfield Manor admires their eldest daughter, and now another distinguished person is visiting their home.
The Bennet family members 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 an aristocrat.
The family has been staying in the country. Although they often have contact with the Gardiner family who live in London, Mr. Gardiner is just a businessman and is not in the same circle as the aristocracy. Naturally, he does not know about Mr. Collins.
The door of the first carriage opened, and two men got out of the carriage one after another.
All are tall men.
A man of about twenty-five or six years old, tall and straight, and handsome in appearance, no less than Mr. Bingley and Mr. Darcy. He has a noble temperament and looks like an elegant gentleman.
The other one is about thirty years old, with the same tall and straight figure, a high nose bridge, and tight lips, giving people a firm and decisive feeling.
Both of them were wearing high-end suits, which made it difficult for Mrs. Bennet and the ladies to tell which one was Mr. Collins.
Liu Heng took a step forward and introduced: "Ladies, good day. I am William Collins. This is my friend, Colonel Brandon."
At the word "Colonel," the two youngest Miss Bennet's eyes lit up and they stared at Colonel Brandon with burning eyes.
Colonel Brandon was embarrassed by their stares.
The eyes of these two ladies were so intense that they 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 Bennets politely, and the Bennets had a very good initial impression of him.
Especially Mrs. Bennet and her two little daughters.
Mrs. Bennet: Another gentleman! Still an officer! I wonder if you are married? If you are still single, you will have hope for your daughter! Doesn’t Lydia like officers? Colonel Brandon suited him just fine.
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 people in 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.
Judging from his attire, he doesn't look like he's short of money.
Then what is he doing in 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. (End of this chapter)
