Pride and Prejudice of Jane Eyre

At the dinner table, Mr. Darcy and Mr. Fitzwilliam discussed the matters of the industry.This is the first winter when Mr. Darcy took over the business, and he is still not familiar with the affairs. Mr. Fitzwilliam got in touch with the management of family affairs earlier than him. Although he can't intervene too much, he also provides a lot of benefits. suggestion.

Miss Darcy did not remain in the drawing-room after dinner, claiming that she was not well.Jane Eyre also took Adele back to the room, leaving the two gentlemen to continue the discussion.

"Miss Jane, that thing you picked up in the conservatory...is it the maid's girdle?" Miss Darcy stopped suddenly when she entered the room, and turned to ask Jane Eyre who was about to open the door of her room.When Jane Eyre heard this, the hand that was about to unscrew the door lock froze.

"It's very strange how this thing can be left there." Miss Darcy was very puzzled.Jane Eyre's mind was running fast. Miss Darcy was still a child, and she didn't think of those dirty things, which made her relieved, but her next sentence immediately made her heart ache, "That waist Feng looks familiar to me, I always feel like I’ve seen the embroidery on it somewhere before.”

"Maybe the maid dropped it while she was doing embroidery work there. Maybe you can ask Mrs. Reynolds, she might be able to find the owner." Jane Eyre found a reason when she heard the word embroidery—although she knew it must be Dropped by Lilith and Wickham while they're doing their shit together.

"maybe!"

"Miss Darcy, are you uncomfortable?" Jane Eyre asked with concern, thinking of the reason she had just left the table.

"Just call me Georgiana!" Miss Darcy pouted. "The conversation they had just now was so boring! I really don't want to hear it. I might as well go back to my room and read a book!"

Jane Eyre nodded. The lady who was only twelve or thirteen years old was naturally not very interested in economic affairs. "Okay, Georgiana."

After exchanging good night with Georgiana, Jane Eyre went back to her room.A lot of things happened in this short day, and finally she was alone in the room, and Jane Eyre urgently needed to clear her mind.

Contrary to her expectations, what Mr. Darcy said in the dark room can be said to be an explanation and an apology, but she felt very strange that he should tell such a private matter to a person like her who had just met for a short time. ——Maybe it's just that she is afraid that she will misunderstand and have a bad influence on Miss Darcy?

Jane Eyre didn't think she was so special, but she let the always proud Mr. Darcy put down her figure.

As for Lilith, it can be said to be a huge mystery.She once tried to climb into the master's bed and become a mistress, but chose the worst time.No gentleman with morals and shame would accept throwing himself into his arms on the day his parents were buried.And she later had a close relationship with Wickham-this was said by Mrs. Reynolds, but with the acquiescence of her and Mr. Darcy.What is Mr. Darcy's purpose?What is Wickham's mentality?What kind of role does Lilith play in it?In the dispute she heard, who was that strange old male voice?

With this series of questions in mind, Jane Eyre fell asleep in a daze.

The next morning, Jane Eyre rarely went to bed late.After waking up, it was already bright, she packed herself hastily, and met Lilith as soon as she stepped out of the room.

"Miss Eyre, Mrs. Reynolds ordered that you can go to the dining room to eat after you wake up. She ordered the kitchen to leave breakfast for you."

"My God! This is so embarrassing." Jane Eyre took out her pocket watch—the one that Mr. Rochester gave her on Christmas, and it was past ten o'clock.She followed Lilith into the dining room in a hurry, but Mrs. Reynolds was not there, so she had to finish breakfast alone under Lilith's service.She kept observing Lilith's expression and movements, but couldn't see anything.She seemed to have even forgotten what happened yesterday.

"Where are the two ladies?" Jane Eyre asked Lilith.

"They are in the studio." Jane Eyre nodded, took the last sip of tea, put down the cup, and walked directly to the studio.

After Georgiana learned singing skills from Adele, she reciprocated and wanted to be a teacher again, teaching Adele to paint.

Jane Eyre can only do some sketches, and she also "attends lectures" with Adele, nodding in agreement from time to time.This made Georgiana flush with excitement—although she was often praised by other ladies and teachers in the school, this was the first time she was praised as a "teacher"!

"I want to draw a hunting picture!" During the break, Georgiana wiped the paint on her hands and said, "Brother, George and cousin have gone hunting, but they always don't take me, I can only rely on The description in the book imagines that scene."

"Oh! They went hunting!" No wonder Jane Eyre didn't see these gentlemen today, "I've never seen a hunter

Scene, presumably they thought it was too dangerous for ladies. "

"Oh, I should like to see it!" sighed Georgiana, rather old-fashioned, "Jane, Adela, have you ever ridden a horse?"

"there has never been."

Adele also shook her head, she was not interested in it.

"Oh! What a pity! It's a great feeling to ride! Free. It's a pity we can't ride astride like men, or I must be faster than George!"

"It seems that you are not frightened by what happened before?" Jane Eyre was amazed at the courage of this little girl.She suddenly remembered that in the book, Georgiana had the guts to elope with Wickham!Although after experiencing a huge setback, he became obsequious-it can be seen how hateful Wickham is.What he betrayed was not only a girl's love, but also her trust since childhood.

"Terrible as it is to fall off a horse, the ride itself is delightful." Georgiana frowned. "It only caused old Henry to be terribly wounded. Well, Jane, I am so sorry for that!"

Jane Ai stroked her head affectionately.Georgiana has a strong sense of responsibility, and like her elder brother, it can be seen that the old Darcys have spared no effort in the upbringing of the siblings.

At this time, there was a confused sound of footsteps and Mrs. Reynolds' exclamation through the crack of the door.Jane Eyre and Georgiana looked at each other with doubts in their eyes.

"Lilith, go and see what happened." Georgiana ordered.

Lilith nodded, curtseyed, turned and opened the door of the studio, but suddenly froze.

"What's going on?" The moment the door opened, Jane Eyre heard Wickham moaning in pain, and Georgiana also stood up, her eyes full of worry.

Lilith came to her senses when she heard Georgiana's voice.Her hands were trembling, she didn't respond, and rushed out regardless.Georgiana was taken aback by her, Jane Eyre and her looked at each other, both of them went out without hesitation to find out, Adela hesitated and followed.

"Oh my God! What happened to Mr. Wickham!" In front of him, Mr. Wickham's legs were dripping with blood, his face was ashen, and he was lying on the sofa. The servants worked together to lift the sofa and move him to the room.Mrs. Reynolds instructed Lilith to go and get a doctor with Li Wen. Lilith also turned pale and hurried downstairs.

Mr. Darcy and Mr. Fitzwilliam frowned, and happened to be standing at the door of the studio, talking together in a low voice.Hearing Jane Eyre's voice, Mr. Darcy looked at her and looked at each other.Georgiana wanted to follow Wickham the moment she saw Wickham, but was blocked by Mrs. Reynolds, her face extremely anxious.

Jane Eyre was a little uncomfortable being watched by him, she came back to her senses, turned her head quickly, and covered Adele's eyes.Adele was too young, seeing such a bloody scene would definitely give her nightmares.

"When Wickham was hunting, he was eager to express himself and got away from the crowd, but he encountered a wolf." Mr. Darcy explained, "I have probably checked it, and there is only a flesh injury on the leg, which should not be serious. Georgiana, don't go up and disturb the doctor, it's really not for a little girl to see."

Georgiana, anxiously twisting her handkerchief, was stopped by Mr. Darcy's grave tone.Jane Eyre comforted her in a low voice and asked her and Adele to continue painting in the studio.

"Let Jane go and see, will you?" Georgiana begged.

"Stay here," ordered Mr. Darcy. "The doctor will be here shortly, so don't worry about it."

Georgiana was so annoyed by the cold tone that she turned her head into the studio and closed the door, leaving Jane Eyre and the two gentlemen looking at each other.

Mr. Darcy looked annoyed. He couldn't restrain his temper in front of his sister. In addition, seeing Georgiana worried about Wickham, he was even more anxious and kept talking.

Mr. Fitzwilliam, well aware of his temperament, patted him on the shoulder reassuringly.After taking a look at Jane Eyre, she also went upstairs, there must always be a master in charge.

"Georgianna..."

"Don't worry, Mr. Darcy, I will persuade her. She regards him as 'brother' and is just worried about him." Jane Eyre knew that he was afraid that Georgiana's feelings for Wickham were unusual, but in the end According to her observation, Georgiana has not yet sprouted "feelings between men and women".

Mr. Darcy sighed: "I always can't do anything with her, her temper-it always has to suffer a lot before it can be restrained."

Jane Eyre thought it funny when she heard this, for Mr. Darcy didn't realize that he was also of the same nature.

Soon, the doctor arrived with a huge medicine box on his back, and Lilith ran behind, panting, with sweat profusely on her forehead, her golden hair sticking to her cheeks.No matter how embarrassing the beauty is, it is difficult to conceal her beauty.It's just that none of the men present appreciated her style. Mr. Darcy turned cold again, greeted the doctor, and went upstairs with him.

Lilith was frightened by the master's cold face, she didn't dare to follow, panting and leaning against the wall, looking at her with pleading eyes.

"Lilith, I think the doctor needs a lot of clean water, you and the servants go prepare it." Jane Eyre ordered.

Lilith nodded heavily, gave her a full salute, and hurried down.

As Mr. Darcy said, Wickham's injury did not go to the bones, but a lot of blood flowed from the wolf's bite on his thigh.Georgiana breathed a sigh of relief when she learned about it, and she was allowed to visit after the doctor left.

Early next morning Mr. Darcy and Mr. Fitzwilliam announced at breakfast that they were going away on errands and would not return for the next few days.

"What? Are you going out again?" Georgiana looked very frustrated, and she couldn't care less about getting into trouble with her brother.

"In less than a week, your brother will come back unscathed!" Mr. Fitzwilliam comforted, "It's just that there are some problems in the land to the south, we have to go and have a look. Do you want any presents? Georgiana .”

Georgiana, knife and fork in hand, poked at the meat and eggs on the plate, shaking her head.Mr. Darcy took a sip of his tea and said, "The Cambridge picture—I've photographed it."

Georgiana widened her eyes, took a deep breath, and exclaimed: "Brother!"

"Don't you want to see it? Why don't you just buy it and put it in your studio, and enjoy it slowly." Mr. Darcy couldn't help smiling when he saw Georgiana's surprised and moved eyes, but he quickly covered his lips with the cup side smile.

"Thank you so much, brother!" Georgiana put down the knife and fork, and hugged him, her tone trembling, "I really shouldn't make you worry like this... Don't worry, I will listen to Jane."

After saying this, she winked at him playfully.She is a smart girl, although she has a big temper, but she has already seen her brother's special trust in Jane Eyre-although she doesn't know why.

Mr. Darcy choked on the tea, but he didn't know how to refute, so he said dryly, "Just be good and don't lose your temper."

Mr. Fitzwilliam had an intuition that there was something wrong in this, but he had no idea that Mr. Darcy would have any other affection for an unqualified governess, nor did he see any affection in his eyes.Besides, the lady governess is not very good-looking, she is thin and thin, and her attitude towards Mr. Darcy is neither humble nor overbearing, and she has no flattery at all.

"Oh! Brother, remember to bring gifts for Adele and Jane!" Georgiana already knew the ways of the world.Mr. Darcy answered in silence.

Li Wen brought out the horses of the manor owner and Mr. Fitzwilliam. He took care of these two good horses, which were smooth and muscular.

Two gentlemen bid them farewell at the door.When Jane Eyre learned that Mr. Darcy was going out for a week, she didn't know whether to be happy or disappointed.Without the presence of the manor owner, she would naturally be much more relaxed, but Mr. Darcy has not explained the relationship between Wickham and Lilith. This is like a TV series that has been forcibly suspended. Knowing the situation, I was extremely curious.

"Miss Jane." Mr. Darcy looked at Jane Eyre, "Take a step to talk."

Jane Eyre opened her eyes wide, nodded, and followed him to the other side.Georgiana and Adela took the opportunity to touch the two steeds, eager to try.Mr. Fitzwilliam looked inquiringly at Mr. Darcy, who nodded at him, bewildered as to what Darcy meant.

"Miss Jane, I will tell you about those two people when I come back." Mr. Darcy straightened his back and stood a big stride away from Jane Eyre. ' For my sake, help me take care of Georgiana."

"Sir, you have said this countless times! I will definitely do it." Jane Eyre laughed, she thought he was going to say something new, but it was still the few words of advice, "But you, you must pay attention to safety .”

"I will," replied Mr. Darcy dryly, and then fell silent.

Jane Eyre looked at him strangely, wondering if he called himself aside alone just to say such a sentence? "I wish you a safe journey?" She raised her head, looked into his eyes, and said a simple blessing tentatively.

"... Oh! Thank you." Mr. Darcy nodded hastily, and then strode to his horse, which had been teased by the two ladies and kicked the dirt restlessly.

The two gentlemen mounted their horses and rode away along the road.
