Pride and Prejudice of Jane Eyre

When Jane Eyre opened her eyes, she thought she was still in a dream.

"Doctor! Come and see! Miss Eyre is awake!" Dazed, Jane Eyre heard the chaos in her ears, and a cold hand touched her eyes.Jane Eyre saw a gray-haired gentleman in front of her. This should be a doctor.Jane Eyre thought in a daze.

"Since Miss Ai woke up, she's fine. The injury on her head is not serious, it's just a traumatic injury. Just change the bandage and medicine every day." The doctor instructed.

Jane Eyre subconsciously felt that something was wrong, but her head was still swollen and throbbing, which made her unable to think.I just felt that after a while, several people walked out and closed the door behind them.Only then did the ears quiet down.

Jane Eyre narrowed her eyes and fell into a half-dream and half-awake state again.She vaguely remembered that she and her professor had participated in a literature exchange forum, and were on the plane heading to the UK. When they encountered strong air currents, the plane shook violently, many people screamed in fright, and the whole cabin was in chaos.The flight crew kept reminding passengers to put on their seat belts and not to panic, but the next second the plane lost control and turned upside down. Although Jane Eyre sent her seat belts, the fat passenger in front of her was so frightened that her hands and feet were stiff and she didn't have time to put them on , during the overturning of the plane, Jane Eyre suffered an unreasonable disaster...

Jane Eyre understood what the doctor said just now, but it was just a slight head injury?This is definitely not the damage caused by the plane crash... Jane Eyre forced herself to open her eyes wide, trying to find out where she was.

She was lying on a small bed, not very soft, like a hotel bed.On the ceiling in front of my eyes, the paint has seeped and moldy, and the ugly skin has risen.Jane Eyre supported the window sill, sat up, felt a strong dizziness, and countless memories flooded into her mind. Before she fainted completely, the last scene in front of her eyes was an idyllic scene under the setting sun outside the window.

------------

When she opened her eyes again, Jane Eyre was awakened by the carriage.The stench of horse manure made her sick.Jane Eyre tried her best to control herself, and she vomited out only after lying on the side of the carriage door.

"Miss Ai, you're awake. There's clear water under the seat, please help yourself!" The coachman in the front row noticed the movement behind him and greeted him.

"Yes, thank you, John." Jane replied.

She now knows that she is now in England in the 19th century, and she is no longer Jane Eyre, but Jane Eyre.At this time, Jane had just escaped from the Lowood boarding school. She found a job as a tutor in Thornfield Manor in the newspaper, and she was rushing to a new life full of hope.Unfortunately, after the stagecoach was frightened, she was thrown off, and her forehead just hit a stone on the side of the road, and she passed out.Jane Eyre, who was caught in an air crash, took advantage of her and gained a new life.

Fortunately, Mr. Darcy, who frightened the stagecoach, was a young gentleman. He felt very sorry when he saw that he had injured a thin girl and passed out. He left some money and asked the stagecoach to find a doctor for her. And asked the coachman to take her to her original destination.And Mr. Darcy himself hastily left before Jane Eyre woke up because of urgent matters at home.

Jane Eyre lowered her head and took out a water bottle from under the seat. She was so thirsty that her throat was about to smoke, and she hadn't drunk water for at least twelve hours.After drinking half a bottle in one go, I began to moisten my chapped lips with small sips.All she had was a small suitcase, which was also placed under the seat.Jane Eyre thought, "Although I don't know why, I survived in Jane Eyre's body, but I also got a new life because of it, so I should try to survive."No matter what, the day is still my own. '

Jane Eyre opened the small suitcase, which was the one she brought from Gateshead eight years ago, and there were only a few simple and thin dresses in it, presumably these were the "uniforms" of Lowood Boarding School.Jane Eyre doubled and found a beautiful velvet bag, which was obviously not prepared by herself.Jane Eyre opened the small cloth bag, and inside was a ten pound note and a note. The correct handwriting on the note read:

"I'm very sorry that my horse has caused you to suffer innocently. I hope you can accept the ten pounds. Forgive my carelessness. I can't ask others to give you the money. It's too dangerous for a lady. I opened your box in a rude manner.

Fitzwilliam Darcy"

Jane Eyre understood, and hid the small cloth bag among the clothes.Closed the box again.I'm afraid that all the clothes she has on her body can't match the ten pounds. It seems that this Mr. Darcy is really generous. 'Wait, Fitzwilliam Darcy?Isn't this the hero of Pride and Prejudice?Am I not just in Jane Eyre's world, which even has Pride and Prejudice? '

Only then did Jane Eyre figured out that she didn't need to live the life of Miss Love in the original book. Miss Love in the original book didn't encounter such unlucky things on the way to Thornfield. She, a little butterfly, had already inadvertently Fanned the wings.

Although Jane Eyre likes this work of Charlotte Bronte very much, and she also regards Miss Eyre as an enlightenment mentor in life, it does not mean that she loves Mr. Rochester as deeply as Miss Eyre in the original novel—that is, her future employer.What's more, she knew that there was a mad woman living in the attic of Thornfield Manor. She was Mr. Rochester's original wife, and she might set fire to the whole manor at any time.Thornfield Manor is not a safe haven for her, she must find a way to find another way out.

Just as Jane Eyre was lost in her own thoughts, the carriage slowly slowed down and stopped, "Miss Eyre, we are here!" John jumped out of the car and opened the baffle for her to get out of the car. "Thank you, John." Jane Eyre jumped out of the car with a small suitcase, thanking her habitually.

Jane Eyre walked into the station, when a man greeted him: "Are you Miss Eyre? Jane Eyre?"

"Yes! Are you from Thornfield Manor?"

"Yes." He saluted, and Jane Eyre returned the salute strangely. "I've been waiting for you for more than a day, and I thought you weren't coming."

Jane Eyre hastily explained: "I'm so sorry, yesterday I met an accident and fell off the carriage, fainted, and was delayed at the post all night."

The man looked at the bandage on Jane Eyre's forehead: "How are you feeling now? Can you walk around? We still have an hour and a half to drive to Thornfield by carriage."

"Thanks to you, it's much better, no problem at all." Jane Eyre replied.The man took the initiative to take Jane Eyre's suitcase. "Let's go, get in the car, we have to get to the manor before dark."

Jane Eyre followed and got into the carriage with Thornfield's family crest.

---------

The night was filled with fog, and the sky was getting darker and darker.Jane Eyre was very tired after a day's journey, and she was going to sleep in the carriage.At present, they are running on a flat ground. There are dotted houses in the distance, and people can be seen from a distance.

'What a beautiful sight. 'Jane exclaimed in love.She had only seen this kind of English pastoral style in oil paintings before.

"Now you are not far from Thornfield!" said the coachman, looking back.

Jane Eyre leaned on the car window and looked out again. At this time, they were passing a church. There was a row of lights in the distance, which seemed to be a village.After a while, the carriage stopped in front of a big iron gate, the driver got out of the carriage and opened the iron gate.Passing through the iron gate is a straight passage leading to the manor in the night.

The carriage drove for another distance, and stopped in front of a house, and the candlelight came out from the gap in the curtains.A maid opened the door.Jane Eyre got out of the carriage and followed her into the house.

Jane Eyre followed the maid into a small room, the fireplace inside had already lit a fire, and the whole room was extraordinarily warm under the warm light of the fireplace. Jane Eyre felt that the bumps and cold in the carriage along the way were finally healed.A round table was placed in front of the fireplace, and an old lady was sitting there knitting, with a cat sleeping under her feet.The old lady wore a widow's cap, a black silk gown, and a white muslin apron.Jane Eyre guessed, 'This is Mrs. Fairfax, the housekeeper here.' '

As soon as Jane Eyre walked in, the old lady stood up and walked over without hesitation, with a loving smile on her face: "Honey, how are you? I think you must have been sitting here for a long time when you came from XX County I’m tired of the car. Although John’s driving is very stable, he is always slower than others, so come and warm up by the fireplace.” The old lady asked Jane Eyre to sit where she had been knitting before, borrowing Looking at the light from the fireplace, the old lady saw the bandage on Jane Eyre's forehead, "God! Miss Ey, what's wrong with your forehead, no wonder it took a day to arrive."

The old lady stepped forward, helped Jane Eyre take off the shawl, and untied the hatband.Jane Eyre explained what happened before, but she did not disclose the compensation from "good Mr. Darcy".

"Poor girl." The old lady held Jane Eyre's hand, her eyes were full of pity, "Quick, Leah, go and mix some hot Niggs, and get two sandwiches." The old lady He took out a small key from his pocket and handed it to the maid Leah.

"Come over to the fireplace," she went on. "I think you must be freezing. Have you got any luggage with you, dear."

"Yes, ma'am."

"I'll ask the servants to deliver it to your room." She said, and hurried out.

Jane Eyre thought, indeed, as in the original book, Mrs. Fairfax is a kind person, and she treats a new governess in the way of entertaining guests.This eased Jane Eyre's nerves that had been tense all day.

After a while, she walked into the room again, removed the knitting utensils and books on the table, and asked Leah to put the food on.Jane Eyre thanked again and again, she was really hungry.The means of transportation in this era are really underdeveloped. After sitting in a carriage for a day and only drinking half a bottle of water, Jane Eyre was exhausted.

After a simple dinner, Jane Eyre suddenly remembered her purpose of coming here. "Will I have the honor to meet my students tonight?" Jane Eyre asked.

"Miss Warren has rested." Mrs. Fairfax sat opposite her, holding the cat in her arms. "I am so happy to finally have a companion to live with me. Thornfield is a good but every winter, I am almost alone. Except for the postman and the butcher, almost no one comes. Although Leah is a nice girl, and John and his wife are simple and kind, but they It’s just a servant, talking with them as an equal will lose prestige, and I can only keep a certain distance from them. As for the child Liya, if I ask her to read to me, she must feel restrained.”

"Last year's winter was very cold. And spring and summer always pass quickly, and Thornfield is very beautiful in spring and summer, as you will know later! In autumn this year, little Miss Adele Warren and her The nanny is here. You know, children are always full of energy, and this room is much more lively." Mrs. Fairfax touched the cat, "Now that you are here, I am really happy. What should I say, but I don't want to talk to you for too long tonight, the clock has already struck twelve, you have been running around for so long, you must need to rest. "

Jane Eyre was very touched by Mrs. Fairfax's thoughtfulness.After a brief chat, Jane Eyre understood her current situation. Mrs. Fairfax led her to check whether the door was locked, and then led Jane Eyre through the long corridor and up the stairs.There was no electric light in this era, and the whole house was gloomy after nightfall. Mrs. Fairfax was walking slowly while lighting a candle. Jane Eyre supported her and remembered the way she came.

Soon, in front of a bedroom, Mrs. Fairfax said: "This is your room, good night, Miss Eyre." Jane Eyre also said good night, and entered the room alone.
