Mary's Country Life in England (Pride and Prejudice Fanfiction)

No way! ! I didn't realize it was a scam! ! Don't bring this kind of thing, come back and fill in the holes! ! Beg on your knees! !

I can still find the big hole in 2010 in 15 years... Please continue to fill it in! You don't really plan to cheat like this...

His family had a carriage, and in addition to the horse pulling the carriage, there was at least one horse. See Jane riding a horse when she arrived at Bingley's house. Therefore there must be at least one coachman and one horseman. Because the Bennett family has two elders and five daughters, the carriage is pulled by at least two horses, and if the carriage is used, Jane still has horses available, so it is inferred that the family has at least three horses, a dedicated coachman and a groom to take care of the horses. Sister Jane is supposed to have a personal maid, see the section on getting her hair done. Mrs. Bennet has a very favorite housekeeper named Hill. Grandma Hill appears more in the part where Lydia elopes. Instead of using daughters to do kitchen duties, at least there is a cook. Their family is one of the top families in the town, and their daughter doesn't have to do housework. A personal maid is definitely not enough, and there is at least one maid to do chores. Again, a big family of seven people. Elizabeth and Jane did not sleep in the same room, and Mary had her own room. Assuming that Lydia and Catherine were in the same room, the Bennets ignored the convention of dividing rooms and slept in one bedroom. This home also has a dining room, a study (for Mr. Bennet's exclusive use), a living room (criticized by Mrs. De Bower), and a living room. That's 9 rooms. The sea does not consider the kitchen, toilet, maid's room, etc. Therefore, I deduced that there should be a maid in his house. Moreover, his family has a small garden, which is enough for a walk (see Mr. Collins' proposal and Mrs. De Paul's showdown with Elizabeth), and the British have a strong garden complex, so they need a gardener. Considering Mr. Bennett's indifference to the affairs of the manor, and the fact that the manor is enough to provide his family with an income of two thousand pounds a year, which is not small, there should be a butler Mr. Hill corresponding to the housekeeper Grandma Hill. This is considering that the housekeeper can also be used as a valet. To sum up, the Bennett family must have at least four maids and four male servants. The Bennett family has an income of 2,000 pounds a year, and each of the five ladies has a maximum pocket money of 100 pounds (see the plot of Lydia's elopement). This money includes buying clothes, food, pocket money, and entertainment, including the money your mother secretly gave her. Therefore, the total expenditure of Lydia, the most pampered, most vain, and most spendthrift, is only 100 pounds a year. The total expenditure of this family, specifically living expenses, is about 800 pounds. In Jane Eyre, 50 pounds a year is a very high income for a wealthy family to hire a tutor, and 20 pounds a year is enough for a rural teacher. Assuming that eight servants cost £300, this is more reasonable. It's not a very high expense for this family. But the above two items accounted for 1,100 pounds. Where did the other 900 pounds go? This reflects from the side that the Bennetts have always thought that they would have a son and did not live a frugal life. Moreover, it should be noted that the expenses of the Bennett family are much greater than that of the Lucas family. Because all the five daughters of the Ban family have gone out to socialize, only the eldest daughter Charlotte and the second daughter Maria of the Lu family have gone out, and when Charlotte got married, there was a saying, "The younger girls are happy that they can go out to socialize early." Going out to socialize means making new clothes, new jewelry, new shoes, new bags, new hats, new handkerchiefs for every dance, and occasionally holding receptions at your own home (see Bingley and Darcy confirm their intention to return to the rented house again). This expenditure is not small. So don't ignore an annual income of two thousand pounds. Mr. Bingley has a fortune of one hundred thousand pounds and an annual income of five thousand pounds, which is enough to join the upper class society in London. Miss Bingley has a dowry of twenty thousand pounds, but Mrs. Hurst also has a dowry of twenty thousand pounds. What kind of husband does she marry? With an annual income of ten thousand pounds, Darcy can keep the mother of a princess who can inherit the entire family fortune (see Mrs. De Paul said, there is no such rule in my family) staring at her. So, the pound was very valuable at that time. Therefore, relatively speaking, I prefer the 1995 version of the BBC series, which feels more relevant to the situation at that time. In the 2005 version of the movie, I think the description of the servants was okay, but Elizabeth's performance was too over the top and completely lacked the subtlety of a British lady. In fact, my introduction to Pride and Prejudice was the 1969 Hollywood film Pride and Prejudice. It was a very charming big dress~~~~~ But that one was more similar to the one in Gone with the Wind, and it was also a typical American way of thinking, but I was really fascinated by Laurence's Darcy. It seems that the building is crooked, so let's end it here.

Ah, ma'am, I'm going to see your old hole from 2025. Is there any chance to fill it in, ma'am?

That was really Black Friday!

I originally wanted to follow it, but I'll check the update time. . . In 2010, it became a trap? ? ?

Looking forward to the update, the writing is very good, I like this style of writing very much. Regarding CP, at first I thought Lei Te would be a male pig's trotter. However, it is surprising that Rhett then becomes Edward's younger brother. So I started looking forward to sibling competition. As a result, my brother Leiter, who I had high hopes for, became a soy sauce guy... Oh, why, poor Leiter-kun... Although Edward is not bad, I am still looking forward to seeing Edward drive away the wolves, Jefferson sneaking into Chen Chang, etc. Keep it up, dull heroines will always lead to good drama. Looking forward to updates.

Big! ~How about CP becoming Darcy! ~I think most children's shoes still prefer to disassemble official-issued shoes! ~My favorite Darcy! ~Strongly request the male protagonist Darcy!

It's rare to have such a beautiful Pride and Prejudice fanfic... I'm so sad...

When will it be updated? It feels good.
