Pride and Prejudice of Jane Eyre

The backs of the two gentlemen in the morning light are getting farther and farther away, getting smaller and smaller until they disappear.

The mischievousness and indifference that she pretended to be on Georgiana's face disappeared, and it was replaced by disappointment.Her gray-blue eyes kept looking at the direction they left, and the orange-red morning sun was burning in her eyes.

"Georgianna, the wind in the morning is still too cold." Jane Eyre took Georgiana's shoulders and brought her back with a little force.At this time, a gust of cold wind happened to blow, and Jane Eyre shivered without putting on her coat.

"Ah! I'm sorry." Georgiana came back to her senses, "Mrs. Reynolds, prepare some hot tea and desserts and bring them to the small study." hold her hand.

A group of people returned to the manor from the main entrance, walked through the long corridor, and came to the small study on the second floor.Georgiana pulled herself together and made herself a good host.

Although it is a small study room, it is not as "small" as Jane Eyre guessed. Perhaps compared to Pemberley Manor, this is just one of the rooms, but as soon as she entered the door, Jane Eyre was still shocked by the scale.

It is different from the small study room in Thornfield Manor that was packed up and barely used as a classroom.When Thornfield Manor prepared the classroom for Adele, it only opened a small bookshelf, which contained some simple literature books.Most of the rest of the books are locked in cabinets—perhaps because there are no servants who can clean and care carefully every day, Mrs. Fairfax thinks it is safer and more convenient to lock them up.Even if their owners have not read it for more than ten years.

The small study in Pemberley Manor did not lock the books.The bookcases on the entire wall are full of tomes.The book covers in the lower cabinet next to it looked much more colorful, and it was obvious at a glance that this small bookcase was entirely Georgiana's property.In front of the big bookcase is a simple and thick solid wood table. The books on the table are spread out, and there are a few pens on it - it can be seen that the owner of the book has been serious here not long ago.

The floor of the study is also covered with thick Spanish carpets in bright colors.The sofa is covered with neat and clean milky white flannelette, and the large windows are not traditional painted windows, but clean and transparent ordinary glass.The mild winter sunshine flooded the whole room smoothly, and Jane Eyre could even see the tiny smoke in the air dancing in the sunlight.

Georgiana dug out a book from the small cabinet, and threw it on the coffee table in front of the sofa familiarly.Jane Eyre was surprised to find that this book turned out to be a Gothic book!Georgiana took out several brightly colored books from the bottom of the small cabinet and handed them to Adele. "These are my favorite fairy tale books in the past. I think you will like them!" Adele happily took them, thanked her, and nestled in the armchair under the window sill. Sophie threw herself on her knees. a blanket.

Jane Eyre sat down beside Georgiana, "I didn't expect you to like this type of book!" Jane Eyre pointed to the book, "Mind if I take a look?" Georgiana shook her head, her face full of excitement: "Never mind! Not at all! It's one of my favorites—no, it's not my favorite author. A couple of short stories in the papers late last year by a Mr. Cole Bell are even better!"

Jane Eyre's eyes widened. Isn't this the name she used when she submitted the manuscript?

When it comes to what she is passionate about, Georgiana can't stop talking: "Mr. Cole Bell's writing is simple and plain, but his plot setting is really smooth! And he can always arouse readers' curiosity just right, my guess It's always flipped at the end! But it's so reasonable when you think about it!"

"Jane! I tried to write Gothic, but I couldn't write that kind of fascinating picture." Georgiana's words were astonishing. Jane Eyre didn't expect that Georgiana said directly in front of people about the career she was trying to hide. She also tried.

"Georgiana. . . did you write it? Did Mr. Darcy not object?"

Georgiana stuck out her tongue and said: "Of course my brother objected at first, but after he read Mr. Kohler Bell's article, he didn't stop me from writing it! Although he didn't say it, I can also repeat it from him. Mr. Bell's article is printed in the newspaper, and he likes it very much! You know, he used to like Shelley's poetry best! He has always sneered at my hobby!"

"I also tried to submit a manuscript, but I was stopped by my brother before I sent it." Georgiana sighed in a very regrettable tone, "He said that if you don't stop me from writing—it doesn't mean that I can submit a manuscript. It's unladylike. It's so unfair! Why can't I publish it? Can I use a pseudonym?"

Unexpectedly, Miss Darcy is such a rebellious person!Jane Eyre couldn't help feeling sympathetic, and even wanted to tell Georgiana the truth about Mr. Kohler Bell immediately.But the words were on the verge of her mouth, and she hesitated again.

"Jane, what's your favorite book?" asked Georgiana.

Speaking of which, Jane Eyre's favorite in her previous life was actually the works of the Bronte sisters, Austin and Wilde.However, she found that these amazing writers did not appear in this world—and their ideas can be called astonishing here!Apart from these literary works, there is only... "I like geography books!" Jane Eyre recalled, "If there is a chance, I really want to travel far alone with my luggage!"

Georgiana showed surprise on her face, which was beyond her expectation: "I didn't expect that you would think so! But Jane, it's too dangerous! Even gentlemen, you have to take it with you when you go out. Follow me!"

"Of course I know it won't be easy. Georgiana, I don't mean to send myself to 'point of no return' right now—"

"But no matter what time it is, it's dangerous!" Georgiana shook her head in disapproval. "I thought I was enough to worry my brother, but I didn't expect you to be more... bold!"

Jane Eyre smiled and said, "It's because Mr. Darcy cares about you, but I'm alone."

As soon as the words were finished, the door of the small study was opened. Mrs. Reynolds was holding a stack of desserts, and behind her was an ordinary-looking maid with tea in her hand.Mrs. Reynolds put the dessert on the table, and the maid bowed down and poured hot black tea for them all.

"Please take it easy, ladies." Mrs. Reynolds felt that the small study was stuffy, and ordered the maid to open the window and light the fireplace again. "Miss Jane, can I take a step to speak?" Jane Eyre looked at her serious expression, and nodded with some apprehension.She followed Mrs. Reynolds to the window on the other side. Georgiana glanced at them curiously. Her gaze met Mrs. Reynolds's, and she lowered her head and opened the book sheepishly.

"Miss Jane, the maid serving you will be replaced by Lisa." Mrs. Reynolds lowered her voice, pouted her lips, and motioned for the maid who came in with her.

"Lilith? Did something happen to her?" Jane Eyre followed her example and lowered her voice, "Yesterday I saw her expression after seeing Mr. Wickham injured. It was really..."

"She volunteered to take care of Mr. Wickham." Mrs. Reynolds sneered, her current expression was exactly the same as her master's, "What audacity! However, it seems that things are about to be closed."

Jane Eyre couldn't help frowning, she had a premonition that Lilith was going to be in trouble. Although she didn't know what happened, she could guess that it might be a matter of life and death.She couldn't bear to see a girl like a flower driving herself to a dead end.

"Miss Jane, don't get me wrong. She chose this path herself—Mr. Darcy didn't force her to do anything!" Mrs. Reynolds didn't want her master to be misunderstood, "Mr. Darcy even gave them a chance, but they But he treats the master as a fool!" Her tone was too high unconsciously, and Georgiana looked up, and Jane Eyre coughed.

"I believe she brought it on herself. Mr. Darcy is a noble gentleman." His character has been identified by countless readers for more than 200 years, and he is a "popular lover".

"Although Lisa has a bit of a broken mouth, she is honest and responsible, and she never thinks about it." Mrs. Reynolds finished this brief explanation, packed up the tray and other things, and after a few words with Lisa, she left.Georgiana looked at Jane Eyre curiously, expecting her to say something, but she only made a gesture of closing her mouth.

On this day, Jane Eyre was in the study with Georgiana and Adela.Adele was so fascinated by Georgiana's book collection—the fairy tale books with exquisite illustrations—that she wouldn't even want to eat lunch and dinner if Jane Eyre hadn't forced her to.Georgiana asked how Jane Eyre taught Adele on weekdays. Before she went to school, she only had a nanny to take care of her life, and she was very curious about the work of a tutor.Adele strongly suggested that Jane Eyre teach her those geography knowledge, which is the most interesting course for her!

Jane Eyre saw that there was also an exquisitely shaped globe on the table, which seemed expensive at first glance, so she took Georgiana to stand by the desk and explained to her the knowledge of longitude and latitude, as well as new things in various regions.

"It turns out that your travel plan is not unprepared! Jane, you have so much knowledge, I am almost convinced by you—but my brother will definitely not agree to let me travel with you." Georgiana was a little disappointed, but She changed her mind, "You can let my brother go with us! This is definitely a good idea!"

"Oh!" Jane Eyre almost couldn't keep up with her rhythm, "but I'm still the tutor of Thornfield Manor! I have no reason to enjoy the journey with the master of Pemberley!"

Georgiana lay on top of her in annoyance, she had forgotten this layer! "Oh, what if..."

"Ok?"

"...No, nothing." Georgiana felt disappointed at her whims.

The author has something to say: I'm a bit stuck, so the update is a little late.

Georgiana would be a big assist!But it will also be a big light bulb...
