Pride and Prejudice of Jane Eyre

After simply washing up again, and taking Adele downstairs for breakfast, Mr. Rochester had already taken his guests out hunting.

Jane Eyre stretched her brows. Too many people in the manor always made her feel upset, and she couldn't take Adela around freely.The "encounter" with Mr. Rochester this morning exposed her biggest secret at present, but looking at Mr. Rochester's reaction, he didn't seem to be angry with her "extraordinary" and concealment.

This is a good sign.At least her little business can go on.If Mr. Rochester can't understand, then she won't be able to deliver her future letters, and even her current job will be lost.In that case, she would have to think again and prepare to leave Thornfield—but now she had developed a faint attachment to Thornfield Manor, perhaps because of Mrs. Fairfax, or because it was her The first long-lived residence after coming to this world.

The simplicity and gloom of Thornfield in winter gave her inexplicable warmth.

"They'll have a party every day, my dear," said Mrs. Fairfax, "—perhaps a ball. Who's to say? Mr. Rochester always has sudden plans."

"So I'm going to be in the kitchen all the time?"

"No, no, how can you bother a governess like this?" Mrs. Fairfax looked at her lovingly. "I know you are doing it out of kindness! But after Ellie learns such a job, she will let her Worry about it. You can't let you do the work of a servant, we just need to give orders."

Jane Eyre neither nodded nor shook her head, she didn't think it was just a servant's job, and she didn't feel that she was superior to Ellie and the others, but since she was in this age, she couldn't rashly say something earth-shattering . "Then I'll explain it to Ellie now. Besides, Adele has been relaxed for a few days. If you leave her alone, you won't be able to take it back!"

Mrs. Fairfax smiled at the thought of the complaints of the servants during the past two days.Although this lively lady brought life to Thornfield Manor, she also had to worry about making busy servants work-such as buckets tripped in the aisle.

After Jane Eyre said goodbye to Mrs. Fairfax, she came to the kitchen. The morning was a rare leisure time in the kitchen.The servants were cleaning the breakfast utensils in the dishwashing room at the back, while Ellie was humming a tune while counting the ingredients according to the housekeeper's wife's orders.

"Good morning, Ellie." Jane Eyre and Ellie nodded.

Ellie put down the pen in her hand—she was one of the few servants in Thornfield Manor who could read and write—"Good morning, Jane. Mrs. Fairfax has informed me. How do you Are you in the kitchen again? Do you have any new orders?"

"Oh! Ellie, can't I come and see my friend?" Jane Eyre complained pretending to be annoyed, and then sat down at the table with a smile. She was already very familiar with everything here. He poured himself a cup of tea familiarly.

A small dimple appeared on Ellie's round cheeks: "Of course I welcome you anytime. I haven't had time to thank you for teaching me so much!" Fresh, well-received dishes are important to the chef is the most important.

"How do you say 'teach'? I'm just offering some half-baked ideas."

Ellie is worthy of being the manager of the kitchen. She just mentioned the color and style, and Ellie was able to implement it quickly, and in just three days, all the maids became well-trained and accurate. Provide service to the owner - the material loss rate is extremely low!

"If you have any fantastic ideas in the future, you must tell me!"

"Of course!"

——There are people in the kitchen who can handle things!

"Miss Jane! Can I really not go out to play? My eyes are almost blurred!" Adele couldn't sit down and study with peace of mind after playing for a few days.

Jane Eyre put down the notebook in her hand and looked at her sternly: "Adela, you have been playing for three full days! Have you forgotten our previous agreement? Study for a quarter of an hour and rest for a quarter of an hour. It's not tiring. "

As soon as Adele's small mouth puckered, she wanted to squeeze a few tears down.Jane Eyre doesn't like this, and she can't let her relax when it's time to study.Going crazy for a few days and getting back into the game can be difficult even for adults.

"Look, I'm also studying with you." Jane Eyre pointed to the notebook in her hand, "It's fair, isn't it? Besides, what you have in your hand is your favorite literature book before, so forget about you for now. rag doll."

Seeing that Adele was still unhappy, Jane Eyre could only say softly, "Mrs. Fairfax told me that Mr. Rochester will very likely let you attend their party, but you don't want to lose face in front of the guests. Are you unhappy, sir? Now, recite a poem well, if guests want to hear what you have learned, you will not only know how to sing."

Jane Eyre does not want Adele to be the object of teasing by the guests.She doesn't limit Adele's hobbies, but singing—or the career of an opera singer, is always accompanied by some strange comments.She could already imagine the vulgar and ironic tone in which Miss Ingram would express her "good opinion."

A child's heart is always sensitive. Even if she may not be able to understand other people's teasing, she can still feel discrimination from the other person's expression and tone.This is not conducive to her growth.Hobbies are necessary, but when you don't have the courage to face the cruelty of the world, properly learning to disguise is also protecting yourself.

But Adele didn't understand these things, but the thought of "Miss Love is suffering with her" made her quiet.

Before it was quiet enough for a class, there was a rhythmic sound from the door of the small classroom. Jane Eyre looked up and saw that Mrs. Fairfax was holding a note: "Jane, Mr. Rochester just sent He asked you to bring Adele to the banquet tonight!"

Adele gave a cheer, she was going crazy with joy.Jane Eyre looked at her helplessly, knowing that today's class would be completely impossible. "I'm sorry, Miss Jane. I interrupted your class." Mrs. Fairfax understood everything when she saw Adele immediately throwing away the book in her hand.

Jane Eyre could only smile: "It's not your fault, ma'am. Thank you for telling me the news. I think, with this reason, Adele has to recite a poem seriously." She looked at Adele Pull, smiling slyly.

"Oh no!" Adele froze immediately.

Mrs. Fairfax also laughed. She looked down at the letter in her hand and reminded: "I will call you at seven o'clock, and get dressed before then." After she finished speaking, she closed the door again left.

"Adela, can you tell me what you used to do when you attended parties?" Jane Eyre looked at little Adele, wondering why she wanted to attend parties so much.

"When mother's guests came, they sat on the sofa and let me sing! Mother said I sang very well, so they all laughed. And I danced for them! Miss Jane, would you like to see it? ’ She strikes a dance move.

"No, I don't need it for now, and then?"

"Then they started saying things I didn't understand! Mum always sat with his friends and I sat by the fireplace and played with dolls. But they laughed when they looked at me. Mum said they all liked me! "Adela blinked her big eyes, "But after my mother left, I never attended a banquet again. Miss Jane, Mr. Rochester will be like his mother, right? His friends will like me too." ?"

Looking at her innocent smiling face, Jane Eyre was speechless for a while, "They will like you, Adele. No one will dislike you." She touched Adele's face, "But Mr. Rochester must Unlike your mother, he's a gentleman after all."

Jane Eyre could imagine that Adele had suffered malice from this world before she knew it.But her little brain couldn't understand that yet. "Adela, listen to me. If Mr. Rochester or his guests want you to perform something in the evening, recite a poem. If the ladies want to talk to you, try to answer as simply as possible."

"Why? Miss Jane."

'Because I already know how they'll tease you, little fool. ' Jane Eyre sighed silently in her heart, "If they already know you well, maybe they won't invite you next time."

"Listen and see more, Adele."

When Jane Eyre finished changing her clothes, she came to Adele's room.She was telling Sophie to tie her back bow.Today, she didn't choose the tulle coat that hadn't had time to appear last time, but a light pink tutu skirt.Her blond hair was flowing softly, and Sophie had curled it at the ends.

The sound of horseshoes and wheels rolling came from outside the window, and Jane Eyre looked at the distance by the window, just like yesterday when those distinguished guests first came.Miss Ingram was still riding a horse, talking to Mr. Rochester.Mr. Darcy's face looked even worse, and he didn't know what had happened.Impatientness is almost written on the face, which is not the behavior of a gentleman.

"They're back." As soon as the words fell, Jane Eyre quickly hugged Adele who was screaming and about to climb up from the chair by the window. "Quiet! Adele!" Her nerves had been tempered by this startled little girl.

Just like the day before, the ladies went back to their rooms one after another and changed out of their clothes.With the help of the maids, she put on delicate, beautiful and expensive dresses - one piece can be worth half a year's salary of Jane Eyre!The sound of their rustling dresses rubbing against each other and their cheerful conversation passed through the wooden floor and the door, and passed into Jane Eyre's ears clearly.

After dinner time, there was a knock on the door.It was Mrs Fairfax.

"Miss Jane, the master told you to take Miss Adele down with you."

"Yes, here we come."
