Pride and Prejudice of Jane Eyre

Mr. Darcy looked up when he heard the door open.One half of his face was glowing red from the fireplace, while the other half was hidden in darkness.The room had no windows, and the only source of light was a small fireplace in the corner.Only from the firelight, it can be found that this is just a small compartment, and the only furniture is the single sofa that Mr. Darcy is sitting on.

"Mr. Darcy, what are you...?" Jane Eyre swallowed, not understanding why the story suddenly changed from a romantic English manor story to a gothic horror atmosphere.Mr. Darcy did not speak, but raised his chin to Mrs. Reynolds who was in front of her. Mrs. Reynolds turned and went out. After a while, she brought a low stool.

"Please sit down, Miss Jane," said Mr. Darcy.Jane Eyre did not hear threats or threats from his tone, so she breathed a sigh of relief.Immediately, he was very curious again, why did he find himself here in such an environment.Did the little host and guests in the living room know that he was out?What are they doing again?

Mrs. Reynolds put down the ottoman, and left after being signaled by her master's eyes.Hearing the sound of the door being closed at the back, Jane Eyre became nervous again.

"I'm sorry, Miss Jane." Mr. Darcy's voice sounded the moment after the door was closed, his voice was deep and deep that Jane Eyre had never heard from him, "in this way, please come and talk to me alone, What a disrespect. My heart was torn in two like a red sea, which made me extremely painful and unspeakable...

In the conversation with you just now, my rationality tells me that what you said makes sense. We can't use the bad examples around us to speculate on strangers. It's really unfair to them, and it has nothing to do with gender or class.As a gentleman, what I said just now really violated my father's teaching to me. Like an inexperienced young man, driven by anger and hatred, I uttered such harsh words.

But, Miss Jane, after being bitten by a poisonous snake, will you still be tempted by Medusa?No matter how pure and flawless her face is, as long as I see her, it's like being bitten fiercely again—"

When he said this, he was almost whispering.His face was pale, as if he had suffered a serious illness, and sweat was dripping from his forehead.Gray blue eyes looked at her out of focus.

"You mean, Lilith?" After a long silence, Jane Eyre asked.

When he heard the name Lilith, he gasped for breath: "Miss Jane, this is really hard to say. Maybe I need a glass of wine—no! Alcohol is not a good thing!"

"That day, Georgiana and I said goodbye to them for the last time in church. When we came back, Georgiana cried and fell asleep in the carriage. I sent her back to the room, arranged for Mrs. Reynolds to take care of her, and went to the bar. Pick up a few bottles of red wine, trying to get myself drunk—this is the stupidest decision ever."

"The pain during this period is beyond words. It was summer, and the heat and alcohol made me feel like I was in a stove. Anyway, when I woke up again, I think you should have guessed it. This woman somehow bought something , unexpectedly—" He paused, his expression was strange and indescribable.

"No, she didn't. I rang the bell with all my might, and Mrs. Reynolds came and threw her out."

He took a deep breath, stood up abruptly, and walked around anxiously.Jane Eyre was startled by his sudden standing up, and stood up too, and she found that her palms were also sweating.

Jane Eyre only knew that Lilith and Wickham had a great relationship before, but she never expected that Lilith was so bold that she tried to seduce Mr. Darcy.Although she didn't succeed, but... Mr. Darcy did this kind of thing when he was most vulnerable, it's no wonder he resented her so much.

"Mr. Darcy, I thought you would drive her out and leave Pemberley." Jane Eyre was puzzled by this. Since he was so disgusted and angry, why did he just suppress his emotions, but still let her stay?

Mr. Darcy walked to the door and put his hand on the doorknob, "This has something to do with Wickham, Miss Jane, if I have a chance, I will tell you next time. I have been away from the living room for too long, they must be waiting impatiently." " After finishing speaking, he opened the door, just took a step, but stopped again, "Miss Jane, I'm telling you this just to make you more vigilant, definitely not to defend yourself."

He left, leaving Jane Eyre silent.Mr. Darcy's last words really made her originally heavy heart suddenly become ridiculous.

Mr. Darcy's remarks seemed to be an apology and an excuse for his actions.On the contrary, there are more and more mysteries about Lilith, but why is she involved with Wickham again?Is it true that she is an unscrupulous person who sells her body to get ahead?

etc!The female voice in the dispute just heard is Lilith!

Jane Eyre suddenly heard the voice she heard just now. Mrs. Reynolds found a reason to bring her down, but Lilith was still on it. Did something happen to her? !

Jane Eyre lifted her skirt and wanted to run upstairs quickly, but found that the sky had completely darkened, and the maids had not had time to light up the lamps.With only the moonlight coming in from outside, her night blindness made it impossible for her to distinguish the road.The light of the fire in the small room came from behind her, and she turned her head to consider whether she could pull out a firewood to light it-but that would be too strange.

"Miss Jane, I'll take you to the restaurant. Mr. Darcy and the others are already on their way." The sudden appearance of Mrs. Reynolds behind her frightened Jane's heart.She breathed out, "Mrs. Reynolds, you startled me!"

Mrs. Reynolds smiled slightly, and handed her the candlestick in her hand: "Sorry, you seem to be a little night blind? Mr. Darcy really doesn't understand others, I hope you don't mind."

"No, a gentleman like him naturally wouldn't pay attention to these trivial matters." Jane Eyre took the candlestick and walked side by side with Mrs. Reynolds, "By the way, it was just at the stairs on the second floor...you heard it too Are those voices? My wild guess is that it is Lilith?"

"Miss Jane." Mrs. Reynolds stopped and looked at her seriously, "This manor is still under the control of Mr. Darcy and me, so you don't have to worry. Lilith's matter is too complicated, we It’s not good for me to explain to you on my behalf, Mr. Darcy has his plan. It’s just that we don’t want Miss Darcy to come into contact with these dark things, so we disclose it to you in the hope that you can influence her from the side.”

Jane Eyre looked into her eyes, with the same concern as Mrs. Fairfax. They all had real and deep feelings for the manor they managed, and they tried their best to protect it and its owner.

"I don't think Mr. Darcy has spoken to you about the pay—"

"Mrs. Reynolds, since he hasn't mentioned it yet, I'm really embarrassed to say this." Jane Eyre didn't think it was work, she took it as a help to her friends, "Since Miss Darcy regards me as a friend, You really don't want to mention such hurtful words. This is not work for me, and it is not for these extraneous things that I promise to help Mr. Darcy. And, although you may not understand, I have learned a lot from it. "

This is not a formality. Jane Eyre herself came to Pemberley as a guest tutor, and she used money from Mr. Darcy's pocket for food, clothing, housing and transportation.Although she is not grateful to Dade for this, but after experiencing these things, her mentality and cognition have undergone tremendous changes. Since she has no worries about food and clothing, she also wants to learn more about this world.

Mrs. Reynolds held her hand tightly, and said slowly: "Miss Jane, you are too kind! As the housekeeper of Pemberley, I should thank you for your generosity. But out of selfishness, I also hope that you will treat others more Be on your guard—it's not just about Mr Wickham, you're a single girl, and I really hope you don't suffer too much from it."

Jane Eyre's heart trembled when she was shocked by these words, and she really began to reflect on whether she was too "the Virgin"?

Mrs. Reynolds patted her hand reassuringly, and continued to lead her towards the restaurant: "You really don't look like a female student from a charity school, governess! Miss Jane, you should have seen this world You are so cruel and indifferent, how can you still have such a warm heart! This is so precious, but I don’t want to persuade you to be kind... I was like you when I was young, and I never thought of people as bad , so I suffered a lot——I am still worried about it now."

"Madam, thank you for your reminder!" Jane Eyre nodded, they were about to arrive at the restaurant, and Jane Eyre had already heard the laughter of the ladies from the crack of the door not far away, "I will seriously consider it. As What you said, I still believe that people are born kind, and they each have their own difficulties-but I am not contradicting your opinion, maybe I am really too young."

"Your words made me reflect on the previous 'dispute' with Mr. Darcy." She paused, wondering if she should continue.Mrs. Reynolds saw her hesitation, and pushed open the door of the dining room for her: "You don't have to worry about it, Miss Jane, please enjoy your dinner to your heart's content!"

Jane Eyre nodded, followed her gesture, returned the candle to her, and gave her a precious gift.Then he took a deep breath and walked into the restaurant.

Mr. Darcy heard the movement at the gate of the restaurant, and looked up. There was a smile and warmth in his eyes. Miss Darcy and Adela arranged a simple and cheerful song, standing between him and Singing in front of Mr. Fitzwilliam.Mr. Fitzwilliam, with a wide smile on his face, was still beating the beat for them.Mr. Wickham, whom she had met as she was leaving, was not here.

Looking at such a warm scene in front of her, Jane Eyre and Mr. Darcy looked at each other, and for a moment she didn't know whether she should break into this world or not.

The author has something to say: *Mr. Darcy is also a tsundere...hard-spoken!
