Chapter 205 The World of Western Classics 18
Bentley was walking around in a hurry in the living room, but Anxi and Darcy seemed to be doing it on purpose. They ate lunch leisurely, and occasionally stopped to chat for a few words, fully interpreting the leisure and ease.
An hour passed by the time the two finished eating.
When Bingley saw the two finally appear at the door of the living room, as if he saw a savior, he said everything that happened last night.
"Darcy, what do you think I should do? Should I go to the bank for a loan, but there is only half a day left, can I get a loan in time? Or should I also sell some things for pounds? No, no, that's not enough."
Seeing that Bentley talked for so long and thought of countless ways, but never thought of asking Darcy to lend him the money raised in the past few days for emergency, Anxi couldn't help having a new understanding of Bentley's character.
Sure enough, Darcy is willing to have a heart-to-heart friendship, and there is absolutely no flaw in his character.
Mr. Bingley may be a bit naive and a bit indecisive in his character, but this does not prevent him from being pure-hearted, and he sincerely treats Darcy as a friend, and will not make his friends embarrass him because of him.
Darcy also understood this, and was moved. He didn't want to keep it a secret, and made him anxious, "Sir Jones is here for me. He knows that I have enough funds and can withdraw them within 24 hours. That's why I put this trick on you."
Bentley didn't understand, "But why is that? It's not good for him, isn't it? Whether it's a plantation or a rubber factory, he's selling at a reduced price. Except for the delay in payment time, other things are more beneficial to us."
Anxi and Darcy looked at each other, and then explained the cause and effect to Bingley.
The reason why they didn't say it before was because they all knew that Bentley was pure and kind, and he put all his emotions on his face. If he knew the plan of the two of them, it would be very difficult for him not to be exposed in front of Sir Jones.
Now that the purpose has been achieved, there is no need to hide this friend any more.
Although Bentley is kind, he is not without bottom line. He still has the shrewdness of a businessman when dealing with enemies.
Sure enough, after listening to this, Bentley was very angry, and he was even more annoyed that Sir Jones made a fuss about the honor of the female family.
When his sister Caroline and Miss Darcy almost had an accident, his heart stopped beating. Fortunately, Mr. Wilson was there to save him from this terrible disaster.
After returning, Bingli took care of his younger sister, which was rare. No matter where she went, he would follow her, fearing that if she didn't pay attention, her sister would be killed.
As a result, tell him now that everything is calculated by others, how can this not make him angry.
At that moment, Bentley became serious, "Darcy, Wilson, although he bought the best property of their family at a low price, it's nothing, he can still invest again, can't he? I'm not willing to let him go like this, Caroline is the treasure of the Bingley family, and no one should trample on it like this. Miss Darcy, too, can't let them be counted in vain."
At this moment, a smile appeared on Darcy's face. When Bentley should be ruthless, he can still be ruthless, which is better than he imagined.
Anxi smiled and explained, "The mine is real, not a cover. You know, the East Midlands mine was said to be rich in ore, but after excavation, the previous detection was completely wrong. It is said that it is because of iron ore. There is a new metal mine, which misleads the explorers, making people think that there are a lot of iron ore, but in fact, it can only be dug for another half a year."
"What kind of metal mine is so powerful?" Bingley's eyes lit up, and suddenly he hesitated again, "Is this kind of mine productive? What if it can be used for other purposes?"
Anxi shook his head, "Because there are very few, even if it may be very valuable, it is destined to be a loss-making business."
Moreover, before researching out what effect this kind of mine has, the mine fell into his hands.
And with the 40 pounds of funds, the Jones family lost at least one-third of their blood.
After listening, Bingley's mood was soaring, and he began to discuss with Anxi Darcy enthusiastically how painful it would be when Sir Jones heard the news.
Thinking of that scene, the smile on his face became a bit brighter, and he looked very sunny and cheerful.
Anxi couldn't help but look sideways, how can this be silly and sweet, it's natural black, right?
Darcy coughed lightly, but was also speechless at Bingley's appearance, and silently recited the gentleman's code in his heart.
The three of them spent time at Darcy's house, waiting until four o'clock in the afternoon, when the bank staff was about to get off work, they went to the bank and took out a bank deposit certificate of 43 pounds.
As soon as they left the door, they met Sir Jones who had been waiting for a long time.
Sir Jones smiled hypocritically, "Mr. Bingley, thank you so much for your generosity, and Mr. Darcy and Mr. Wilson. I heard that Mr. Bingley borrowed money from you. You are really trustworthy." Friends, such friendship is really enviable."
Darcy glanced at him blankly, and handed over the check he was holding.
Bingley's face was a little cramped at the moment because he laughed so freely in the afternoon, so he could only imitate Darcy, with a blank expression.
And Anxi was even simpler. His oppressive gaze was slightly revealed, and he pressed towards Sir Jones, which instantly made him withdraw his scrutiny.
After handing over the deposit receipt and signing the agreement completion document, the three of them left directly without any intention of greeting Sir Jones.
Sir Jones didn't care, and kissed the certificate of deposit, almost overflowing with pride in his heart, "Thank you for your generosity, to tell you the truth, I have recently become optimistic about a big project, which is the iron ore shares in East Midlands. Oh, by the way, Mr. Darcy is also busy with this recently, right? I'm so sorry for getting there first."
Upon hearing this, Bingley's face became a little strange, both angry and a little bit wanting to laugh.
Anxi was afraid that he would reveal his secrets, so he dragged him away.Darcy said nothing, and did not even give Sir Jones an extra look.
Sir Jones, who sang a one-man show, was not affected at all. Instead, he felt happy, as if seeing the beautiful scene of Jones' family emblem hanging on Pemberley Manor.
That night, the impatient invitation was sent from Jones' house to Earl William's house.
But Earl William ignored it, and visited Darcy's mansion directly the next morning.
As an earl who kept his promise, Mr. William had to confirm that Darcy had really given up before he would trade with Sir Jones.
In addition, he also hoped that Darcy would keep it a secret, at least until he sent his illegitimate son abroad, so he had to negotiate with Mr. Darcy before the transaction.
Suo Xing Darcy was not a sinister villain, and he did not take his anger on Earl William because of Sir Jones' calculation. The two had a friendly talk for an hour before they separated.
In the afternoon, the reply letter from the Earl's House was sent to Sir Jones's house, inviting him to come to discuss the details of the transaction at three o'clock.
At this point, there is nothing to do with Darcy and the others.
The way has been paved, and if the Earl can't fool Sir Jones, it can only be said that he is too useless.
In fact, however, the earl was more straightforward than they thought.Three days later, the Earl sent a message that the deal was concluded!
Anxi and the three of them opened a bottle of good wine to celebrate after listening, and then began to distribute the plantation and rubber factory.
The plantation was what Bentley wanted, and Anxi and Darcy gave it to him. As for the remaining money, he could pay it back slowly.
As for Anxi himself, he shared the shares of the rubber factory with Darcy, and the two basically shared them equally. As for the business, Darcy would step in and find a professional agent to take care of it.
After solving this matter, the three decided to grab Xia Tian's tail and give it another go.
The Bingley sisters knew that their brother had fulfilled their father's last wish and bought a plantation, which was also a plantation that produced grapes and was used to make high-quality red wine. They were beyond pleasantly surprised.
The two were full of enthusiasm and said that they must see it with their own eyes. This plantation belonging to the Bentley family doesn't care even if they go out in hot weather.
If it's hot, you should go to the countryside to escape the heat, right?Is there anything more wonderful than being able to escape the summer heat in your own garden?
Before the transaction, Darcy had already found out that although it was a plantation, Sir Jones had also built a house there. Although it was not as good as a regular manor, it was large enough and had many rooms, which could accommodate ten people. Several people live.
Under the repeated requests of the sisters, Bingley not only invited Darcy and Anxi, but even Colonel Fitzwilliam and Miss Anna, who were guests at Aunt Darcy's, wrote invitation letters.
Of course, with Bingley's lively nature, he will not forget Aunt Darcy and her daughter, Miss Anne.
Unfortunately, however, they received a reply that Miss Anne couldn't bear the heat and felt a little uncomfortable, and the aunt needed to take care of her daughter, so the two stopped going.
But Colonel Fitzwilliam had set off with Miss Darcy, and they were now going out, just in time to arrive together.
The location of the vineyard is relatively far away. Not only do they need to take the overnight train, but they also have to take a whole morning carriage ride the next day.
The delicate ladies couldn't stand such a long-distance travel. After getting off the train, they had to rest in the hotel for a day, and waited for the next day to repair before starting.
The area of the vineyard is very large, and the vertical rows are almost dazzling.
The timing of their arrival was both coincidental and unfortunate. Some early-ripe grapes were ready to be picked and eaten, but they were hidden among the green grapes, and it took a little time to find them.
After entering the vineyard, the two ladies couldn't bear the loneliness and asked the groom to stop directly. They wanted to pick some grapes and take them home.
However, without the guidance of a knowledgeable person, they searched for several strings, all of which were sour and astringent despite their maturity.
After coming down several times, the two ladies were severely beaten, and they were dying.
At their request, Mr. Bingley, Mr. Darcy, and Mr. Hurst also picked a few bunches, but they were still not sweet enough to be eaten.
On the contrary, Anxi, with the convenience of his eyes, saw some strange species in the grapes, walked over to pick one and tried it, it was not bad, although it was not the sweetest, it was not unpalatable either.
After taking the bunch of grapes back, the two ladies boarded the carriage with a smile and continued to move towards the house.
