Chapter 1881 Arrogant Your Prejudice (24)

"Mrs. Wickham?!"

The man exhaled softly, with inexplicable excitement in his tone.

He looked up at his companions, and sure enough, there was the same light in their eyes.

It was indeed Mrs. Wickham!

They had just come from London, so they knew very well that there was a big-name woman in London, young, beautiful, and energetic, but she got married early.

Of course, these external conditions are not the reason why Mrs. Wickham became a popular figure. What really made her famous was that she successfully cured a countess' pneumonia with the medicine she developed.

God, that's pneumonia, almost an incurable disease.

Many people can only wait to die once they get infected.

But Mrs. Wickham, a young woman, could easily heal.

The countess had just recovered from his illness, and the queen summoned Mrs. Wickham and carefully inquired about the special medicine.

It is said that Mrs. Wickham is not a doctor or a chemist, but when she went out to sea with her husband, her husband unfortunately contracted pneumonia. After using all kinds of methods, Mr. Wickham is still on the verge of dying.

In despair, Mrs. Wickham held the idea of ​​"trying" and actually saved her husband's life with a medicine she developed.

During the voyage, Mrs. Wickham continued to study and improve. After repeated experiments, she finally obtained a relatively safe and complete prescription.

When the Wickham and his wife arrived in London successfully, while Mrs. Wickham was selling the goods, she did not forget to set up a laboratory and continue to purify.

The medicine used by the Countess is already a few improved version of Mrs. Wickham, with special effects and few side effects.

In fact, with the current medical conditions, you can survive. No one cares much about the side effects.

However, everyone is even happier if there are better medicines.

"What? Sir, what did you say just now?"

Mrs. Bennett's eyes were a little straight, and her voice unconsciously increased several degrees.

However, no one disliked her rudeness at this time.

Because everyone is also a little dreamy—

Not real, too unreal!

Many of the people present were old residents of Langboen.

For example, the Lucas family is the neighbor of Bennett's family, and the Lucas couple almost watched Lydia grow up.

In their impression, Lydia is a beautiful, lively silly girl.

She said she was obsessed with dance parties and liked to flirt with handsome young men... Everyone believed this.

But, it can be said that she suddenly became a powerful pharmacist and inventor, and developed special medicines and was summoned by the queen, which sounded like a myth.

Sir Lucas, especially, has always claimed to be a nobleman.

But in fact, even when he bought a title and took the oath to the queen as usual, he did not have the qualifications to meet the queen alone.

He just lowered his head and walked through the process. He didn't even know what the queen looked like.

"Lydia, she, did she really meet Her Majesty the Queen?"

Sir Lucas said blankly with a hint of envy and jealousy in his tone.

Mrs. Lucas was also a little surprised, and then she felt sad: Mrs. Bennett is so lucky, how can she always encounter good things?

They are all married to their daughters, and her Charlotte can only grab Mr. Collins, whom Bennett's family dislikes.

And Mr. Collins, alas, is so weird that it makes people speechless. Even so, he is the best candidate Charlotte can meet!

However, Jane and Elizabeth can easily marry the golden bachelor who everyone envies.

Now, even the youngest and least successful Lydia has successfully married and made a lot of money to become a celebrity in London!

The Lucas family had a Sir Lucas, which was enough to prove their passion for fame, wealth and power.

Not to mention meeting the queen, they are all very active even if they can make friends with real nobles.

Unfortunately, except for visiting Mrs. De Ball with Mrs. Collins, Sir Lucas never met any nobles again.

Mrs. Lucas was so mixed in her heart that she thought of an ignorant and frivolous girl like Lydia who could be summoned by the queen.

"Yes, if Lydia is really Mrs. Wickham, then I want to say that she has really been summoned by the Queen."

The gentleman said with some envy, "In addition, if the pharmaceutical factory is successfully built and the anti-inflammatory special medicines can be mass-produced, Mrs. Wickham may also receive the reward from the queen!"

And this kind of reward is most likely a title or land!

Although with the advancement of the Industrial Revolution, the status of merchants gradually increased, emerging aristocrats rose rapidly, and old aristocrats slowly declined.

But being able to have a noble title is still something countless people dream of.

If Mrs. Wickham really gets the title, her title is different from the title she bought with money.

Her title is true glory and will also have certain rights.

Of course, these are what Mrs. Wickham deserves.

Influenza, fever, pneumonia... What a terrible condition, it may cause death if it is not treated in time.

Moreover, improper prevention and control may cause plague.

For hundreds of years, millions of people have been killed in every outbreak of the disease in Europe.

It was so terrifying, as if hell had come.

However, the special medicine developed by Mrs. Wickham can eliminate inflammation and cure those terminal illnesses!

Some people optimistically speculate that with this medicine, even if the flu is raging in the future, so many people will not die!

It can be said that Mrs. Wickham's contribution is definitely as much as winning a large battle.

In addition, once a large amount of special-effect medicine is put into production, the benefits won are also huge.

In today's England, capital has become increasingly powerful, and people's pursuit of money is becoming increasingly strong.

It’s just the nobles, haha, if you weren’t greedy for money, how could you sell your title?!

As the largest shareholder of the pharmaceutical factory, the money Mrs. Wickham can make in the future may be an amazing number.

With these profits alone, Mrs. Wickham can have a place in London.

Although pharmaceutical factories are still under construction, countless people have seen its potential and tried every means to get a share of the pie.

Unfortunately, Mrs. Wickham was very cunning and tied the queen to her own chariot.

The first shareholder of the pharmaceutical factory is Mrs. Wickham, and the second shareholder is Her Majesty the Dear Queen.

With the participation of the queen, many nobles with self-represented identities dare not interfere easily.

And the gentlemen in front of them may be noble people in Langbon and are highly valued by Mr. Bingley and others.

But in London, they are all small people.

At most, they only know many details that ordinary people don’t know, but they can’t get involved in such a profitable business.

But they never expected that a simple trip to the countryside gave them unexpected joy—
Chapter completed!
