Pride and Prejudice of Jane Eyre

The hurried three days passed quickly.During the evening of this day Mrs. Fairfax had been on a tense nerve, looking eagerly at the door a dozen times, awaiting the arrival of her master and guests.

Jane Eyre spent the whole afternoon decorating chiffon cakes with Ellie in the kitchen.Under the command of Jane Eyre, the new chefs clearly divided the batter, whipped the cream and made the natural coloring.There is already a batch of cookies baked in the oven that is about to be done.Jane Eyre racked her brains for the banquet, and tried out all the desserts that she could skillfully make in her previous life, and the materials were fairly complete in this era. After tasting it, Ellie said that the nobles would be pleasantly surprised.

These are very common and simple basic baking for Jane Eyre. Although both Ellie and Mrs. Fairfax said that they have never eaten such a sweet and soft cake, she is still a little nervous.

After finishing the last mounting, Jane Eyre put down the tools in her hands and stretched her waist long. The amount she made in this day almost caught up with the total amount in her previous life.

"Ellie, I'll leave the kitchen to you. I'll go and see Adele." Jane Eyre washed her hands and shivered from the cold well water, but she was much more awake and stayed in the warm kitchen all day long. In the room, steamed by the heat of the oven, his face was flushed red.The oven at this time was not as airtight as in later generations, and it was baked by fire, and it was sweaty after a day in the kitchen.The other big kitchen, which is in charge of dinner, is even more busy.

Jane Eyre took a tray, packed some cupcakes and a glass of milk, went upstairs, and turned into the rest room on the second floor. Adele was kneeling and sitting on a small stool in front of the window, lying on the window sill.Hearing the sound of the door opening, Adela turned her head and gave Jane Eyre a sweet smile.

Jane Eyre put the tray on the small table in front of the fireplace, "If you are hungry, eat a cake, they may not miss us tonight."

"Miss Jane, why haven't they come yet?"

"I heard from Mrs. Fairfax that I'm afraid they won't be able to arrive until after dark. They just had a new friend coming to visit before they went out. I'm afraid they will come with them."

"Then can we attend the banquet today?" Adele was full of enthusiasm for the party.

"I don't know, Adele. It depends on whether Mr. Rochester remembers us." Jane Eyre didn't really want to attend the banquet.She is a person who likes to be quiet and doesn't like to make trouble, besides, she has never attended a banquet, so if she doesn't know the etiquette, she might make a fool of herself.Jane Eyre thought of the original Jane Eyre. When she was summoned to meet the guests, did she expect and resist as much as she does now?

As soon as the words were finished, Mrs. Fairfax appeared at the door: "Maybe you won't be summoned tonight, but you must be prepared to be summoned temporarily, Miss Jane, go and change into more formal clothes."

Adele cheered and asked Sophie to wear the tulle jacket with a large skirt that Mr. Rochester gave her last time.Jane Eyre nodded, seeing Mrs. Fairfax in her black satin dress, gloves, and gold watch, in an awkward position.

After she came to this world, she has not bought any clothes by herself, and she wears the clothes before Jane Eyre. Although those clothes are too plain and simple for people of this era, but for her descendants who come from the popular simple style On the contrary, it is just right for people, and it is comfortable for daily life.However, she did not expect that there would be a day to attend the banquet.

She rummaged through the few dresses in the closet, and still chose the silver-gray gown specially made by Jane Eyre in the original book for Temple's wedding. The silk texture had dark lines that reflected low-key light.Jane Eyre divided her hair into upper and lower parts, and the upper part was coiled up and decorated with a pearl brooch.The bottom part was brushed smooth, and the natural curls at the ends revealed a hint of liveliness.There are also a few strands of hair hanging down leisurely on both sides of the cheeks.Just as she was trying to look less casual, Mrs. Fairfax knocked at the door.

"I guess you don't have anything to decorate." Mrs. Fairfax handed her a box. "This is a brooch from my youth, and it doesn't suit me anymore. I hope you don't mind."

Jane Eyre's eyes widened. She didn't expect Mrs. Fairfax to remember her undecorated ornaments when she was so busy. She didn't think it was a charity, and she was very grateful for Mrs. Fairfax's help. .I opened the small wooden box, and there was a silver butterfly brooch on the velvet interlining, which was really suitable for young girls, but... "This is too expensive, madam. I really don't know how to repay you!"

"For the sake of helping me for the past three days, you deserve it." Mrs. Fairfax's voice was very gentle, not as severe as she usually is when arranging servants' work, "Besides, I am also very grateful You can accompany me, an old woman, I haven't been so happy for a long time. Miss Jane, you always don't know how much energy you have. "

Blush came to Jane Eyre's face, she put down her brooch, and hugged Mrs Fairfax, the old lady who helped her the most.She never scolded her servants, and she was polite to her from the first meeting.It is because of her that Jane Eyre has quickly integrated into the new life during the two months since she came to this world, and the uneasiness and fear when she first came quickly dissipated.

Mrs. Fairfax caressed Jane Eyre's back, and she also treated her as a relative.The relationship between people is so wonderful. She used to maintain a distance and class relationship with the servants. Jane Eyre was not a servant, and she easily became the only object she could talk to.And Jane Eyre always treats everyone equally, even those who do the work of promoting, no one has dissatisfaction or prejudice against her.Mrs. Fairfax thought she was a wonderful girl, didn't she see that even Mr. Rochester looked at her differently?

"Okay, you put on your brooch. Let's go to the window and watch the way. Mr. Rochester will be back at any moment." Mrs. Fairfax quickly came out of the warm mood, and she was the serious and self-possessed woman again. Reliable butler again.

Jane Eyre put on the brooch, and returned to the window of the lounge with Mrs. Fairfax. From their perspective, they could see a road leading to the direction of the setting sun in the distance.

"I sent John to the gate to see if there was any movement in the road." Mrs. Fairfax saw John running towards the house at a distance, and cried, "Any news?"

"Yes! I've seen them, ma'am! We'll be here in ten minutes."

"Oh! I must go down and get ready." Mrs. Fairfax hurried to the door. "Keep Adele, Jane. Don't let her run away." And she went downstairs.

Jane Eyre touched Adele's head, and knelt with her by the window.After a while, the carved iron gate of Thornfield Manor in the distance was opened, and five horsemen galloped along the driveway, followed by two open carriages.

Among the riders, there was a girl!She was riding sideways, and the skirt of the lady's riding outfit was almost dragging to the ground. Jane Eyre couldn't help but feel worried about her, and marveled that she could keep up with the other four men when riding sideways.

Among the other four gentlemen, Mr. Rochester rode his black horse Maestro, with Pilot skipping ahead of him; the other three were young gentlemen, one of whom was well-dressed and handsome. The expression was not very happy, and the laughter of the other two very fashionable young gentlemen came from a distance.

Soon, they were downstairs.Jane Eyre pulled Adele back, and Adela was already staring blankly. Before she knew it, half of her body was about to leave the window sill. Jane Eyre was startled by her.

Jane Eyre closed the window lightly, and when she looked into the crowd, she met the eyes of the "unhappy" gentleman.The eyes of Mr. Unhappy are a bit weird, and Jane Eyre is puzzled, has she met him?

Even if the windows were closed, the laughter downstairs could not be blocked. Mr. Rochester greeted his friends cheerfully. The deep voices of the gentlemen and the high-pitched voices of the ladies were intertwined, through the windows and through the wooden walls. came.Jane Eyre and Adele were out of tune with the laughter.Adele listened carefully to their movements, and chirped to describe how those people dragged their skirts into the village, and walked up the stairs with light steps...

This is a completely different world from Jane Eyre, and this is the life Adele is used to.

Adele could not be quiet at all, and walked about the door, but Jane Eyre, under Mrs. Fairfax's orders, was determined not to let her go out.From the passage came the sounds of ladies coming out of the rooms. "They're in the dining room!" cried Adele.

"Have some cake? Since it's dinner time." Jane Eyre was glad that she had already taken some food.

Adele begged: "Can't I really take a look? Just a look! I won't be found out"

"No, don't embarrass Mr. Rochester, Adela. If they want to see us, they will call us." Jane Eyre opened her notebook, "We will live together in the same house for many days, always meet."

"Okay." Adele pouted in disappointment.

Jane Eyre ignored her and began to revise her own novel.These days, she has been busy with the kitchen, so she doesn't care about her small business at all.Since there were no computers in this era and everything was written by hand, she was very careful when writing the first draft, trying not to cause major problems.Right now it's just fixing spelling mistakes and grammatical issues.

Two hours passed without knowing it, and Adele was lying on the sofa in front of the fireplace and fell asleep with the doll in her arms.Jane Eyre heard a knock on the door and opened it.It was Mrs. Fairfax: "The master wants you to go down and meet the guests. They are all very satisfied with the dessert."

"Where's Adele?"

Mrs. Fairfax saw that Adele was asleep: "Let her sleep."

Jane Eyre closed the door gently, and Mrs. Fairfax tidied up the table for her, and led her to the living room: "They just want to meet the person who invented the cute snack, and they don't necessarily want to talk to you. If You don't want to stay longer, and you can hide in the dark after showing Mr. Rochester with your eyes, don't be nervous." Jane Eyre nodded.

Before reaching the living room, the noisy conversation inside could already be heard clearly.Jane Eyre followed Mrs. Fairfax into the living room, and curtseyed to the guests after standing still.When she entered the door, she glanced at the entire living room. Ladies and ladies were sitting on the sofa wearing wide skirts, young gentlemen were standing scattered, chatting with the ladies not far away, and older gentlemen were sitting around Play cards together.Mr. Rochester was still in his most accustomed posture, leaning against the fireplace, greeting his guests with a cheerful tone that she had never heard before today, and a black-haired lady in a white skirt stood very close to him.

"This is our most advanced pastry chef! Miss Jane Eyre." Mr. Rochester raised his glass and pointed to Jane Eyre, "She is also the tutor I hired."

The author has something to say:

I'm too difficult.
