live with conscience

Chapter 154

The Bennet family of Braun, since the birth of their only son, has been the center of conversation here.

In fact, after the birth of their youngest fifth daughter, Lydia, the Bennets began to despair about whether they could have a son.

But for the sake of their daughter and property, they couldn't give it up. If the Bennet family had no males, after their death, their daughters would not even have the right to return to the family except for a dowry of [-] pounds each.

Persistence is victory. For the Bennets, it was quite inspirational. When they were desperate and ready to give up, that is, after their youngest daughter was two years old, they became pregnant again!

Mr. Bennet had a hunch again, this time, it will definitely be a boy!

No one can stop his strong obsession with thinking that this baby is a boy.

This kind of obsession even reached the point that Mr. Bennet, who always appeared in front of everyone as a kind gentleman, forced everyone to call the name he gave his son to Mrs. Bennet's stomach, Arthur!

It must be a boy, Arthur Bennet!

A vivid interpretation of Mrs. Bennet's famous line, forcing everyone to have a nervous breakdown.

Anyway, the five daughters of the Bennet family were all affected to varying degrees by the nervous Mr. Bennet.

There are not a few people who bet behind the Bennet family's back that they will still be girls when they are free in the countryside, especially if the child is still a girl, they will be able to inherit the real estate of the Bennet family. Pray every day that Mrs. Bennet's baby will still be a girl.

After all, it is an industry worth nearly [-] pounds a year, which is enough to make everyone jealous in the countryside.

final result?

Everyone wins and everyone loses!

Because Mrs. Bennet is a blockbuster...

The word is not quite right either.

Anyway, in the end, Mrs. Bennet satisfied everyone's needs, everyone's wishes came true, and she was left with a man and a woman!

Twins.

Amazing.

Anyway, when Mr. Bennet heard that it was the first boy, he fainted with joy. When he woke up, he realized that it was not only a boy, but also a girl.

But it doesn't matter, Mr. Bennet is very happy anyway!

As long as he has a son, he can raise as many daughters as he wants!

The long-cherished wish of many years has finally come to fruition. His property will eventually return to his son. Even if he and Mrs. Bennet pass away, her daughters can still return to this home. Nothing makes him happier than this .

This is just a happy event among ordinary people, and it would not have become the focus of everyone's chat.

But who is the youngest son of the Bennet family?

Yes, the son that the Bennet family has been looking forward to for many years, he is really a very individual child.

First of all, he is very smart!

Really, at the age of six, he can already read most of the books in Mr. Bennet's study without hindrance, only under the enlightenment of the old Mr. Bennet.

At first, Mr. Bennet was happy, and Mrs. Bennet made it known all over the world, and she was quite proud.

The elder sisters are also very honored, even though the younger brother looks at them like a stupid mortal not to bother me, they still enthusiastically show their strengths, hoping to teach this talented younger brother.

However, they were happy too early.

No one expected that the younger brother they had placed high hopes on was actually a rebellious person by nature.

Another day of leisurely afternoon tea is over.

In the garden of the Bennet family, the Bennet couple looked happy watching the five eldest daughters laughing and playing, while the younger son was pushing the younger daughter hard.

Especially the youngest daughter, Angel, who has always been delicate since she was born, is now being pushed by her son to sit on the Qianqiu, smiling like an angel!

That's why they named her that.

Almost all of the best things about the Bennets come together in the youngest, well, they think.

The youngest daughter, Angel, completely inherited the beauty of Mrs. Bennet when she was young, no, even worse than Mrs. Bennet back then, there is no doubt about it.

The youngest son, Arthur, has completely inherited Mr. Bennet's intelligence and wisdom. Anyway, the old Mr. Bennet is very determined.

The youngest son was looking at the melting smile of the youngest daughter, smiling very proudly.

Everyone can see how much the youngest son cherishes his sister!

Anyway, since birth, little Arthur has been paying attention to his sister all the time.

Mrs. Bennet: "My dear Arthur, it's almost time. Angel can't be outside for too long. We have to get ready to go back to the house."

Mrs. Bennet thinks she is the happiest person in the world as she wipes her little daughter's face with her own hands and wipes her little son's hands.

Old Mr. Bennet couldn't help expressing his wish: "Arthur, you must be a great gentleman in the future. Your mother, sisters and sisters will be proud of you."

Little Arthur confirmed with a look of astonishment: "Including you?"

Old Mr. Bennet raised his eyebrows: "Of course."

He looked forward to a warm answer from his son.

"That's a must!" Or: "As you wish, my Bennet father."

some type of……

However, the answer he got was that Little Arthur refused in disgust: "I don't need a group of stupid fools to be proud of me!"

Immersed in warmth and sweetness, the Bennet family: ...

So cold.

But little Arthur still has a bottom line: "However, I will protect my sister Angel, after all, she is the only one younger than me among you stupid people."

Angel who didn't want to pay attention to him at all: ...

"Thank you! Go away, I don't need it!"

It was also a spectacle in the Bennet family.

Everyone likes Arthur with a smart head, and of course, also likes Angel (anl), who looks like her name, but the two darlings of the Bennet family hate each other.

Well, it's our little Angel who unilaterally dislikes Arthur very much.

It's just that Arthur always finds a chance to get close to Angel, and he is also very good at flattering him. Every time, he can make Angel let go of his disgust and accept his favor.

Old Mr. Bennet is very proud: "I really have the demeanor of my youth. From this point of view, I don't have to worry about the future. Mr. Bennet Jr. is pursuing love."

This remark caught the curious eyes of the five daughters and the loving gaze of Mrs. Bennet.

What they couldn't see was Arthur's stupid contempt and Angel's twitching eyes.

In short, this is a very sweet, peaceful and ordinary family life of small landlords in the countryside.

At this afternoon tea, Little Arthur's astonishing remarks were ignored by the Bennet family with a smile because of Angel's refusal. They deleted this bad memory and flew away with the wind as if they had never heard of it. , just treat it as little Arthur's childish words and don't take it to heart.

However, two years later, after Mr. Bennet suddenly panicked and angrily called the police, they had no choice but to recall Arthur's extremely rebellious and indifferent words.

This is why the son of the Bennet family is famous.

The reason for calling the police is very simple. Mr. Bennet's new income of more than 00 pounds this year has disappeared at home.

Immediately after the police intervened, within half a day, the small box in which he put the coins was found in a haystack a mile away. The box was violently opened, and the money inside was gone!

Such a major theft case, of course, has aroused the great attention of the police.

Just as he was about to launch a large-scale investigation, little Arthur took a nap and just got up holding the hand of little Angel: "Good afternoon, everyone!"

After seeing the people at home, he asked in amazement: "Mr. Bennet, what are you doing? Inspector? Did something happen?"

"Good afternoon, Arthur, can you take Angel to find your wife first, or Jane and the others? I still need Inspector Jack to help me with some things."

Mr. Bennet has suffered a great loss, and even facing his youngest son and daughter, which he loves most, can't make him feel better.

Knowing that he couldn't get an answer from him, Arthur directly shifted his gaze to another person dressed as a police officer.

They are all detectives nearby, and they have heard about the clever little Mr. Bennet of the Bennet family for a long time. Moreover, a pair of boys and girls who are like little angels, with their beautiful eyes and expectant eyes, are enough to make people Fulfill all their wishes.

"Oh, good afternoon, clever little Mr. Bennet and beautiful little Miss Bennet. I am Inspector Jack. I have received a report from Mr. Bennet, your father, that your family's new income this year has been stolen. Don't worry, Detective Jack, I will definitely recover your losses for you, I will not allow such terrible things to happen in the place I am responsible for."

Little Arthur frowned first, and then suddenly realized: "Is that the small box containing £00?"

Jack has also been a detective for many years, and he suddenly felt that he might be able to get clues from this clever little gentleman: "Yes, Mr. Bennet, do you have any information to tell me?"

Little Arthur didn't hide it: "I know, because I gave it to Mr. Black, and I prepared to make a long-term investment. It happened that Mr. Black, who was in trouble, was preparing for an adventure in the Far East. If he needed funding, I would fund it." paid him £00."

Old Bennet: ...

Inspector Jack: ...

Little Arthur, what did he say?

Are we hallucinating.

But Arthur ignored the eyes of the two surprised adults, and continued: "I asked Mr. Black to come to withdraw money last night. He is the boat ticket at nine o'clock this morning. You probably can't find him. However, I Believe me, five years from now, I will be a millionaire, do you want to congratulate me first?"

Old Mr. Bennet finally recovered his thinking and voice, but his voice was trembling abnormally: "What? Dear Arthur, what are you talking about?"

Arthur didn't intend to ignore him. In Arthur's world, more than 2000 pounds was not as important as the already hungry Angel who was rubbing his eyes: "You didn't hear clearly, then I will talk about it later, Angel is hungry, I Go to Mrs. Bennet first, and after afternoon tea, I'll go to the study and tell you."

Jack: ...

This is embarrassing, can I go first?

In short, in the end, such a major "theft" case that shocked Braun ended so nonsensically.

Everyone doesn't know what happened after the Bennet's house, except that old Bennet suddenly gave up his leisurely and comfortable life after that day, and suddenly started to make troubles.

First toss the hostess and daughters at home.

Three tutors were invited for them, an elderly old lady specially taught Mrs. Bennet, and two young teachers taught the six daughters.

As for the son?

All he can do is hire a housekeeper, hoping to restrain his son's absurd and astonishing words and deeds.

After making these arrangements, Mr. Bennet and his wife-in-law went to London together, preparing to invest and build a factory, and made a living for the poor expenses of the Bennet family.

That day, after seeing off Inspector Jack, Mr. Big Bennet and Mr. Bennet had a conversation as follows.

Ok……

Because this incident was a very shocking event in the Bennet family, Mrs. Bennet and several Miss Bennet also asked to listen together.

Mrs. Bennet: "My little Arthur, can you tell me why you did such absurd things, you who have always been well-behaved, how could it be...it must be that bad Blake...I shouldn't be so big Be kind! Ah... I'm going to have a nervous breakdown..."

Blake, a name that is estimated to be taboo in the Bennet family for a long time.

In fact, the Bennet family knew the existence of this homeless man.

It was a tramp who suddenly appeared in Bolangen. Although his clothes and attire had been ruined, it could be seen from his behavior and conversation that he was definitely a well-bred gentleman.

With seven women, the Bennet family is definitely the most kind-hearted family in the neighborhood.

For those poor tramps, the Bennet family never stingy with the bread that can fill the belly.

This Black's remarks aroused Mrs. Bennet's sympathy, and after adding the miraculous and miserable brains of several Miss Bennet, it gave this wandering Mr. Black a full meal. and a donation of £[-].

Unexpectedly, their kindness was fed to the dogs!

He had deceived their Arthur to do such absurd and terrible things.

"Mrs. Bennet, please be quiet, can you?" Old Bennet rubbed the bridge of his nose: "Arthur, you know... As I told you, our family depends on the income every year to maintain a decent life !"

For his son, old Bennet really taught him with all his heart!

These are things that he took him to do since he was a child.

Arthur nodded dispensably: "I know!"

The old Bennet sighed: "Then do you know that without the more than 2000 pounds, our family is facing the need to live on austerity?"

"Of course." Arthur answered the words as a matter of course: "It is because our family can only live on this income every year that I have the intention to find someone to invest in."

Old Bennet felt that he and Arthur seemed to be talking about different things: "Don't you think, you...well, you need to discuss with me before 'investing'?"

After all, he is still the head of the family!

"In theory, it is necessary." Arthur replied very rationally: "But why should I discuss with you what I know you will refuse."

Old Bennet agreed with him for a moment. Indeed, he would never agree to such a risky investment. However, this is not the core of the problem: "Have you considered that without the money After that, how will our family live?"

Arthur's reaction was even more strange, with a look of useless hello: "I invested for you, do you want me to help you solve these daily trivial things?"

What do you need then?

Old Bennet: ...

There is no way to talk today.

To be honest, at this time, if he didn't consider himself a gentleman and advocate equal education, he would be looking for a whip to beat this uneasy son.

"You are like this, how can I hand over the Bennet's house to you with confidence."

This is really his real thought at this time.

There are threats, there are complaints, and it is even more tiring.

It's just that he overestimated his position in his son's mind: "But, with all due respect, Mr. Bennet, you have no choice. I don't think I can have a younger brother. As your only son, I really It's very pitiful!"

Mrs. Bennet exclaimed: "My lord, what do you want!"

Don't doubt it, old Mr. Bennet really went looking for a whip.

It's not a human being who doesn't get angry after being complained about by this careless son!

It was for this reason that Mrs. Bennet desperately fought for the qualification to be an observer. No matter what, she could not see her son suffer.

"Dad, don't!"

Coupled with the obstruction of the five daughters, old Bennet's behavior was stopped.

Why five?

Because the youngest daughter directly took the whip, and stood behind the five eldest daughters, and did not come forward.

Old Bennet, who was very angry, was still in the mood to comfort himself, because his younger daughter was smart and caring, and knew how to pinch himself directly at the source.

Only Arthur looked at Angel very sadly, because he knew that Angel actually wanted to pass the whip, but was blocked by Mrs. Bennet and five sisters, unable to approach.

However, let's deal with this father first, it's really boring.

When everything was (seemingly) calm again, Arthur asked, "What the hell are you mad about? Father? Sorry, I can't figure it out."

Hold back, that's still a child, be patient!

After the old Bennet took a deep breath, he maintained his gentlemanly demeanor: "Do you know what kind of situation your behavior has brought the Bennet family into? Not to mention the loss of money, you have also made our family a laughing stock!"

You must know that the reputation I have built up all my life has almost made you lose it all!

Arthur was very strange: "Our family? There is such a thing as prestige?" When the old Bennet was angry again, he continued: "I think, when you completely expect to put everything about Bennet on When I was in my body, our family no longer had such a thing as prestige, and even if there was, it wouldn't last long, so I don't care!"

hat? !

The very angry old Bennet was really confused by his clever son at the moment. He didn't understand what was wrong with it: "Isn't everything in the Bennet family supposed to be on you? This is Your responsibility, Mr. Bennet Jr.! And, what do you mean by reputation not lasting?!"

Arthur expressed his attitude again: "It's not my responsibility, sir. My responsibility is only Angel, because she is the only younger sister in this family. The rest of the responsibility should be yours, old Mr. Bennet!"

Old Mr. Bennet: ...

What Arthur said next made him even more ashamed.

Arthur didn't mind at all and pointed out the problem directly: "Do you know how ignorant and ignorant my mother, Mrs. Bennet is? Well, I think, even if I could bear it before, but since she is doing it every day After Jane, who has just grown up, chooses a suitable fiancé... and the candidate for that fiancé, you probably don't want to bear it anymore, and you just ignore it."

"Ignore my mother, and completely ignore Jane's opinion, and let my mother... Mrs. Bennet do whatever she wants. She even turns a blind eye to Jane's embarrassment."

"Of course, your reason may be that you have put all your energy on me, but I really want to refuse your kindness. Because your responsibility is not only mine, but also your mother and sisters!"

As for my sister, I don’t need you!

"But it seems that you don't intend to, and you don't want to pay attention to it. Even if your mother does such a thing, um...it is indeed very consistent with what those wives will do now, so even if it is wrong, you don't intend to pay attention to it." .”

"As for the prestige, I don't think what a lady taught by Mrs. Bennet's level will look like. Jane, I didn't mean to target it specifically, but I personally feel that Lydia is really getting better and better. The more she looks like a mother. After the jokes about mothers and sisters come out in the future, I don't think Bennet's reputation will be much left."

"I'm very smart, so I can already imagine what I will face in the future after this goes on. So, for the sake of the future, I embezzle my funds and invest them first. Is there any problem?"

"Old Mr. Bennet, I don't think that the assets of the Bennet family are sufficient to meet future risks. You just like to deceive yourself and others, but I don't want to take over the burden you let go, so I will only give them at most A decent dowry, as for more, I’m sorry I can’t do anything about it. After all, it’s their father who is going to give up and ignore them first, you!”

"So, the purpose of what I do is to give you an idea now, and after paying more than 2000 pounds of investment, I can completely solve all the problems in the future. How wonderful!"

Mr. Bennet: ...

Speechless.

Mrs. Bennet screamed sadly: "My Arthur, what are you talking about, I am your mother, how can you...how can you..."

Arthur did not soften his heart towards Mrs. Bennet: "Mother, please don't scream. My ears are hurting. I'm just telling the truth. After all, you want to make people who don't understand housekeeping, account management, or It is unrealistic to marry a sister who understands the communication rules of the upper class and only knows how to dress up into the upper class. Even if you succeed in the operation, the tragedy in the end is already foreseeable. I just made the most realistic prediction Just speculation."

"Let me give you a piece of advice, only do what you can do within your ability, otherwise, the consequences will be very tragic! On the premise that your father is not very useful, you don't even need me as a child to escort you."

"I'm not threatening you, but I'm just saying what's on my mind. If possible, I think I'm more suitable as a prodigal son and the second generation ancestor. Unfortunately, the Bennet family can't do it."

Angel: ...

With a son like you, how bad is this family.

The above is the reason why old Mr. Bennet rose up suddenly, and Mrs. Bennet and Miss Bennet decided to reform themselves.

Arthur must not be underestimated!
