Pride and Prejudice of Jane Eyre

Jane Eyre was taken aback for a moment, but didn't realize who it was.This person was dressed as a woman, but not Mrs., dressed more like Ellie, a servant who worked in a rich family.Jane Eyre carefully searched the original owner's memory, ah, this is the sender of the letter she received the day before!And that coachman is her husband Li Wen.

The woman put the suitcase on the ground and hugged Jane Eyre: "Miss Eyre, I haven't seen you for many years! I hope you are well all these years." "Bessie, I am very glad that I am still alive and healthy." Jane Eyre hung up He gave a polite smile, "I just received your letter yesterday, I'm so happy for you, you have such a happy family."

This is the first time she has faced the original owner's old friend since she came to this world. Although her face is very calm, she is very flustered in her heart.Fortunately, Bessie hadn't seen her for seven or eight years, and the difference between her and the original owner could also be explained by the change in personality.

Jane Eyre explained to John: "This is Mrs. Li Wen, the wife who took care of me when I was at Gateshead House; this is the coachman of Gateshead House, Li Wen." John took off his hat and saluted, and Bessie and Li Wen greeted each other, and led Li Wen to park the carriage at the stable behind the house.

"Then I will leave you alone, Miss Jane. I have a lot of work to do." John then took her leave.Jane Eyre nodded.

After John left, Jane Eyre looked at Bessie: "I really didn't expect you to come, please come with me, I believe you must have a lot to say to me. Let's go in and get warm first." Bessie kept Observing her silently, his kind eyes were full of nostalgia and relief.

They entered the house through the side door, and happened to meet Mrs. Fairfax who was instructing the servants to clean. Jane Eyre introduced the husband and wife to her. After bowing to each other, Mrs. Fairfax led them to her room.Her small living room seemed to be the second place where they got together and talked.

The fire in the fireplace was still burning brightly.There used to be Mrs. Fairfax's knitting utensils piled up in front of the fireplace, but now there is another set of Jane Eyre's.

"Sit on the sofa, Mr. and Mrs. Levin." Mrs. Fairfax greeted.She rang the bell and asked the maid to bring some hot tea and biscuits, "You must be freezing, the snow has been extraordinarily heavy this year."

"Mrs. Fairfax, you go about your business, leave it to me here." Jane Eyre was embarrassed to make her worry about herself, "Thank you very much, lend me the small living room, my room is not Suitable for entertaining guests."

Mrs. Fairfax patted her on the shoulder lovingly: "Don't worry, I'll take care of everything! Greet the guests well, and just tell me if you need anything." Jane Eyre accepted, she knew, Fairfax Mrs. Kers is supporting her!Although she still doesn't know what Jane Eyre has experienced, Jane Eyre escaped from a "charity organization" like Rowwood by finding a job in the newspaper.Had the master of Gateshead Hall been kind to her, he would never have done such a thing.From the attitude of Li Wen and his wife towards Jane Eyre, she can see that Jane Eyre is definitely not a servant's child.

When Mrs. Fairfax left, the maid came with a tray. Jane Eyre found three cups of hot tea and some cupcakes on the tray, and guessed it was Ellie's order.

"Miss Jane, it seems that your life here is quite good." Bessie has been observing the attitude of the servants and housekeepers towards Jane Eyre, and she is relieved, "You look completely different from before."

"Perhaps, after all, people will change." Jane Eyre took the opportunity to guide, "It has been almost nine years since I left Gateshead! Time flies so long and so fast!"

"You've changed a lot! I never thought we'd sit together and talk like this. You were just a--a little monster! Always trying to go against Mrs. Reed's will." will."

That, of course, was because Mrs. Reed was a devil!Jane Eyre thought.Before her husband died, Mrs. Reed vowed to treat Jane Eyre as her own daughter, but then she abused, threatened, and condoned her children to be violent against her, and finally drove her out of Reed House, leaving She's going to Lowood--that's clearly going to kill her!Many people die every year in "charity organizations" like Lowood, some of them died of illness, and some of them committed suicide.

"Don't talk about me, how is Mrs. Reed? I just received your letter yesterday. Is her illness okay?" Jane Eyre didn't want to bring the topic to herself.

"Well... that's why I came to you!" sighed Bessie, and beckoned to her husband to get the suitcase. The wife has been waiting for a reply, thinking that you must not forgive her.

Her belated confession and the torment of her conscience made her weaker and weaker, and finally on the night of seven days ago, she drove herself crazy. Heaven will not forgive her either.

She instructed me to find a box and asked me to give it to you.She couldn't survive the snowstorm and illness, and passed away in her sleep that night. "

Jane Eyre did not expect that this snow would bring such a result.After flapping her little butterfly wings, everything changed completely.

She took the box, guessing that it must be a letter from the "uncle" she had never met, but Mrs. Reed suppressed everything, and she couldn't see Jane Eyre living a good life.Jane Eyre didn't open the box immediately, but just asked: "What about Miss Reed and Miss Georgiana?" I don't know if they are the same as the original.

"Miss Reed set off for Lille in France, where she gave her spirit to God, and decided to go to a convent, and perhaps become a nun; and Miss Georgiana, who went to Mr. Gibson in London. home, that's her uncle. She had a great social season in London a few years ago - she is indeed a beauty." This is the same as the original book, these two flowers growing in Gateshead, after losing their parents and brothers After that, the future is unknown.

From this point of view, Jane Eyre, who faced the cruel world early, is now living the most comfortable life.

Jane Eyre and Bessie were talking, and the theme mainly revolved around the changes in Gateshead House over the years.A once prestigious mansion is now in complete decline.

"What about you? Bessie? Who are you working for now?" Jane Eyre asked with concern.The master's family died, and those who left left, these servants could only find their own way.

Bessie sighed: "We are worrying about this too! After I hand everything over to you, I will no longer serve Gateshead House. An old friend of Fred's in a Derbyshire house He works as a groom in the manor, but it is a pity that he broke his leg two weeks ago for the sake of the savior's family. The doctor said that it would be difficult to restore it to the same state as before. The kind master left him to continue working as a gardener in the manor, but he lacked A coachman. He is a kind man, and when Mrs. Reed was not well, Fred wrote to his former friends for help, and he was the only one who responded to us."

Fred Levin continued: "We are planning to go to Derbyshire to try our luck after we hand over the things to you. My skills are not bad. If I can get this job in Pemberley Manor in Derbyshire, It would be very lucky if Bessie could be a maid there too."

"Pemberley Manor?" Jane Eyre was stunned. "Is the owner of the manor called Mr. Darcy?"

"What? Miss Jane, do you also know this Mr. Darcy?" Li Wen asked curiously.

"I just met him in this house more than half a month ago! He is the son of a friend of my master, Mr. Rochester. You said, it was Miss Savior who broke his leg for your old man? Darcy Did something happen to Miss?" Jane Eyre asked with concern, she remembered that Mrs. Fairfax said that when Mr. Darcy left Thornfield, he had received a letter from home, which may be the reason.

Li Wen took a sip of water, moistened his throat, and replied: "I don't know yet, it's the master's business, and my old buddy Henry didn't specify it, but I heard that Miss Darcy fell off the horse. He was trampled by a horse when he went to rescue her." He sighed again, feeling very sad for his friend, "Fortunately, Mr. Darcy was kind and generous, gave him a large pension, and left him to continue in the manor. work, or how can a crippled coachman find work again?"

"It's a pity that I don't have any friendship with him, otherwise I could write a letter of recommendation for you. But my master..."

"Miss Jane, you don't have to worry about it." Bessie let go of her frown. "I know you want to help me, but you don't have to owe my master that much for me. I have great confidence in Fred, although It's a bit difficult for us right now, but as I told you, life has to go on."

In the memories of Jane Eyre's original owner, Bessie used her vulgar but warm way to persuade her when she collapsed again and again as a child. "Bessie, you also said that I have changed a lot, and you are completely different now."

"I'm glad, Miss Jane, that you take my word for it. You are so gentle now that you are a different person from before. Well, Miss Jane, if you had been like this before, Mrs. Reed might have been as well." willing to love you."

"No, it won't. Bessie." Jane Eyre said, "The former Jane Eyre is dead. Now the person in front of you is reborn." She knew that Bessie would not understand her words mean.But she really wanted to bid farewell to the original owner, the only person who really cared about Jane Eyre.

Bessie really didn't take it seriously, she just said: "No matter what, I'm relieved to see that you are doing well now."

After drinking all the tea and eating all the cakes, Jane Eyre ended the topic.She rang the bell, and told the maid to inform Mrs. Fairfax that a room should be made up for the couple to spend the night.
