Pride and Prejudice of Jane Eyre

Chapter 27 Pemberley Manor

"It's absolutely impossible to say, Mr. Wickham." Jane Eyre turned her head and found that he had moved from the two little girls to her side, and Jane Eyre moved uncomfortably.Mr. Darcy fell silent when Wickham interjected.He pursed his lips, and his body also leaned forward to listen to the back of the chair, he stopped looking at Jane Eyre, and paid attention to the two laughing ladies.

"I've only lived in Gateshead Manor for a few years. To put it this way, the favor I received from Gateshead Manor is far less than the favor you received in Pemberley Manor!" The handsome young man in front of him was extremely greedy. , without any gratitude, "If I am as lucky as you, I must kneel in front of my bed and pray to thank God every day. Even in my situation, I used to be full of resentment and jealousy, but some time ago I was hurt It is only because of the old friend’s suggestion that I can survive in this era, and the Gateshead House has been kind to me in this regard.”

Without what happened to Li Wen and his wife, she would never have imagined that a helpless and weak woman might not even survive the next winter.She can now understand a little bit why the original owner chose to forgive before Mrs. Reed died of illness-even though it happened to her, she still would not do so.

"Then you don't have the slightest bit of hatred now? Miss Eyre." Wickham's tone was a little flustered, and he suddenly realized that the shriveled and thin tutor in front of him seemed to have read his mind, and asked back. "My father worked conscientiously for old Mr. Darcy. It's just that a good man is short-lived. He had an accident when he was handling official business..."

"I'm sorry, sir... It sounds a little false to say that I don't have any hatred at all. I am not the Virgin Mary, and I have my own temper. It's just that I did receive a little pity and care—even for them Insignificant, I want to try my best to love them, but my temper makes me spit on myself like this."

"This is really contradictory, Miss Eyre. I can also understand your thoughts..."

"I don't think so, sir." Jane Eyre interrupted, "According to what I have heard, you are much luckier than me. The servants don't say they love you, at least they respect you, and the masters—whether they are Mr. and Mrs. Darcy, and Mr. and Mrs. Darcy, are good people, too. I can't think of anything else to complain about, oh! Sorry, I didn't mean you complained!"

Hearing "a good man", Mr. Darcy's mouth twitched.

"Oh! yes! I am grateful for all this." Mr. Wickham could only follow her words. "My godfather, old Mr. Darcy, has taken great care of me! He treats me like a father and son, and even arranges good errands for me." ..."

"Father told me in his will that I should do my best to arrange for him any position with a good salary," interrupted Mr. Darcy. "Mr. Wickham is also working hard for it. Oh! That's all, Wickham, aren't you going to do your daily prayers and homework?" This was already driving away customers.

Wickham ate several times in the night, and his face was a little uncomfortable. He couldn't even think of saying hello to the two ladies, so he left in a hurry.

"You may have heard the servants talk about it--they always take pleasure in talking about their master's affairs--that Wickham's father was a clergyman, and then worked for my father. The family business has worked hard, and Mr. Wickham Jr...." Mr. Darcy realized his impoliteness. It is not a gentleman's job to speak ill of others behind his back. "Sorry, I have to say this, I don't Treating you like a flower in a hothouse—those ladies! That's part of the reason I've asked you to come here. He's putting some bad ideas into Georgiana." Mr. Darcy lowered his voice, not wanting his sister to hear. These.

Jane Eyre was taken aback by his words.She thought that Mr. Darcy would be like the original book, treat strangers with few words, even if he was misunderstood, he would not defend himself.However, after thinking about it, she is not one of those ladies, and her current identity is a "family teacher".In other words, she was not so much a client as Mr. Darcy saw her as a "family education counseling service".

He has just taken over the family from his father, and as a 'child', he is at a loss for Miss Darcy's upbringing, and regards her as the only person who can discuss his sister's education.This made her dumbfounded.

"Bad thoughts? You mean?"

"Perhaps you have already learned that Georgiana was injured at the end of last year. This is also why I left Thornfield Manor in a hurry."

"Yes, and your coachman Henry has lost his job."

"I'm grateful to Henry for saving her. Wickham, however, urged Georgiana to ride with him, and while I was away, lured her to Cambridge for a visit. But there was an accident—she fell from her horse. Luckily Henry found the stables Two horses were missing, so I followed the footprints and rescued Georgiana from under the hooves of the horses, but I was seriously injured by the raging horses."

Jane Eyre was frightened by his words, and looked back at Miss Darcy in front of the fireplace. She was learning vocal skills from Adele, and she smiled sweetly with her eyelashes curled up.But when I think about it carefully, Miss Darcy does have a slight limp in walking, and the dress on her body is tightly dressed, unlike Adele who was so hot in front of the fireplace that she loosened her cuffs and collar long ago.On the one hand, it is upbringing, on the other hand, there may be bruises on the body.

"Is Miss Darcy much better now?"

"Yes, old Henry saved her from disaster, but I dare not let Wickham near her again. Now she is a child, and she does such a thing. I really can't imagine that when she grows up When I grow up, Wickham's greed and ambition have swelled beyond control, how will he hurt my family." Mr. Darcy's gray-blue eyes were almost burning under the firelight, and his words It's like being squeezed out of your throat.

Jane Eyre understood what he meant.Mr. Darcy sensed Wickham's secret thoughts about Miss Darcy—not out of love, but with ulterior motives.But he couldn't directly expose Wickham's viciousness in front of Miss Darcy, and he was also afraid that his coercive obstruction would make them a driving force like Romeo and Juliet.

"Before he died, my father asked me to treat Wickham well, and I must not violate his last wish-this made me really unable to attack him. I can only rely on Georgiana to be properly guided, and we sent her early. I went to school to receive lady education, but it didn't seem to be of any use, and the short meeting during the holidays strengthened the relationship."

"According to what you say, Wickham is a very wicked man."

"He will become a heinous person." Mr. Darcy corrected, "If it hadn't been for Mrs. Reynolds' reminder, I would never have been able to see through the desire in his eyes. Fortunately, before those terrible things happened, I , raised our vigilance.”

Jane Eyre frowned. Before a person commits a crime, he really cannot be convicted.Because of this, Mr. Darcy couldn't drive him away directly, and even had to treat him kindly because of his father's will.

"Then why did you invite me here? I can't be Miss Darcy's governess, nor can I influence her thoughts."

"You are a unique woman, I admire very much." Darcy's words made Jane Eyre have a strange feeling, "You are regarded as a friend by Mr. Rochester, and I have known him for a long time-this is not unreasonable. Well, he is my father's friend, but I really don't agree with some of his behaviors. However, he admires your thoughts and experiences, and I think there must be some reasons for this."

Jane Eyre shook her head, showing a helpless smile.Mr. Rochester is not only praised, his 20 years of indulgence is not admirable in the eyes of some gentlemen—and she, turned into a "unique" woman, turned a "prodigal son" back!

"I'm not that powerful, sir." Jane Eyre thought for a while and asked back, "You said before that I'm not a lady, but now you want me to 'teach' a lady, which is another Why? Aren't you afraid that I'll 'lead' Miss Darcy as well?"

"She's not a lady yet. There's something wild about her! It's from our mother—I didn't realize it until now. I don't expect her to be a lady. As a brother, I I just want her to be safe and happy."

"So, what do you think of the standards of a lady?" This was the part she was looking forward to the most. She couldn't remember the words in the original book, but she still had an impression—it was a wonderful speech.

Mr. Darcy lowered his eyes and was silent for a moment. After tasting the wine in his hand, he said: "She must be proficient in music, singing, painting, dancing and modern languages..."

"—sounds like an artist."

"Her appearance, gait, voice, and conversation must all have a certain quality..."

"—Oh, it's like an orator again."

"Besides, she should also learn some real talents, read more books, and increase her intelligence."

"That's what I agree with." Jane Eyre nodded with a smile.

Mr. Darcy was interrupted twice in a row, a little annoyed, and frowned: "It seems that we have different standards for ladies!"

Jane Eyre felt a little funny: "You said, I am not a lady! Your point of view is not bad, etiquette, behavior and artistic accomplishment are really important for a lady, but I think this is just the icing on the cake .With all due respect, like a peacock spreading its tail, it is indeed an essential condition for attracting the opposite sex and future mates before marriage.”

"Then tell me, what do you think is the most important thing for a lady?" Mr. Darcy asked back, "I would like to hear what kind of opinions a young girl has!"

"She must have perseverance, an independent mind, a healthy body and superior wisdom. Some artistic accomplishments are also very good, whitewashing her appearance, so that she can handle interpersonal relationships with ease."

"I agree with Miss Eyre's point of view!" Mr. Darcy turned to look at his sister when he heard this. She noticed their conversation at some point, her eyes sparkled.

The author has something to say: the update time is still the same as before, at 3000:[-] pm every day, and the daily updates are at least [-]+

Mr. Darcy, like an old father, was helpless in the face of his "rebellious daughter" and had to ask a teacher...
