Pride and Prejudice of Jane Eyre

"A letter from Thornfield House?" Jane Eyre was very pleasantly surprised, and immediately accepted the letter. The sender was Mrs. Fairfax.Just as she was about to open it, she hesitated for a while, and put it in the wide bag of her skirt, planning to read the letter carefully when she returned to her room.

This letter feels very thick, at least a dozen pages.This made her a little worried. After leaving Thornfield for less than a week, did Mrs. Fairfax have so many things to share with her?

Bessie saw her absent-mindedness, and persuaded: "Next, the pudding just needs to be steamed for half an hour, and then let it cool down and then use ice and snow to solidify it, right? It's very simple, Miss Eyre, if you are in a hurry, you can Go first. I'll let Lisa notify you when I'm done here!"

"Thank you so much, Bessie!" Jane Eyre thanked, and then explained a few words to Lisa.Lisa was happy to take a break from her busy schedule. Since Jane Eyre just asked her to wait here and did not explain other tasks, she was naturally willing.

Jane Eyre returned by relying on her memory. Although Pemberley Manor is large, its layout is very regular.Holding the letter, she quickly walked through the corridor in the middle of the servants' quarters, but at the corner, she almost bumped into someone.

"God!" Jane Eyre was startled by the black shadow in front of her, and then jumped away lightly.When she stood firmly, she saw clearly that the man in front of her was hunched over and smelled of alcohol. He swayed drunkenly, lost his balance and fell to the wall for a moment.There seemed to be some pus around his cloudy eyes, which looked like they hadn't been cleaned for a long time, and the yellowish whites were wildly covered with red blood.The man was holding a bottle of wine in his right hand, and almost being knocked over did not stop him from drinking. Even though the bottle had bottomed out, he still poured the bottle to his mouth.

Jane Eyre took a few steps back, and her hand reached for the pocket knife she carried around her waist—ever since she suffered a loss from Mrs. Mason, she has realized the danger of celibacy.

The person in front of him looked completely different from the neat and tidy Pemberley Manor, even worse than the refugees in the slums.It was the first time for Jane Eyre to see such a dirty and depraved person after she came to this world.He squinted his eyes and stared at Jane Eyre, as if he was thinking about who it was, then smiled ferociously, twisted his body and stood up.Muddy trousers and shoes scuffed on the neat carpet.

"Charlie! Go back to the room!" Mrs. Reynolds' voice came from the stairs. She was neatly dressed, wearing a big-brimmed hat, with thick gloves on her hands, and her hands were clasped together. She seemed to have just returned from doing business outside. .

After hearing her words, Jane Eyre suddenly realized that the person in front of her must be Lilith's father who was addicted to gambling!But he looked skinny and skinny, the wrinkles on his face were full of black stains that couldn't be washed off, and the few hairs were so greasy that they were knotted, sticking to the sides of his cheeks.Jane Eyre couldn't see any resemblance to Lilith from his face.

Charlie still smiled strangely, and couldn't stand still, leaning on the wall unsteadily.Mrs. Reynolds frowned tightly, covered her nose with her handkerchief, and waved to the two sturdy servants behind her, who dragged him away together.While being dragged, Charlie muttered cursing and occasionally screaming strangely.Jane Eyre noticed that they were all scolding words like "bitch" and "bitch".

"I hope he didn't scare you, Miss Jane." Mrs. Reynolds didn't turn her head to look at Charlie until she could no longer see Charlie's back.Jane Eyre shook her head: "I'm fine, Mrs. Reynolds. Even if he wants to do something to me, I'm still on guard!" She took out a knife from her belt, "Besides, I don't mind seeing him like that." Knowing that the alcohol has emptied his body, he is a walking dead."

The corners of Mrs. Reynolds' mouth rose slightly, and she praised her performance very much: "It's best if you are vigilant! By the way, why are you here? This is the servant's place."

Jane Eyre explained the ins and outs of the matter, and said that she was going back to her room.Mrs. Reynolds nodded as she listened, and waited until the two servants came back to report to her that they had locked Charlie in his room before she was relieved and offered to send Jane Eyre back to her room.Jane Eyre naturally declined, "Madam, you must have just come back from outside, go and have a rest. I am not Miss Jiao! I still know this way."

They bid farewell at the landing on the second floor.

Returning to the room, Jane Eyre couldn't wait to take out the letter from Thornfield, sat in front of the window, couldn't wait to use the letter opener, and directly tore open the wax.In addition to a stack of letter papers, there were two letters that fell from the envelope.

Jane Eyre opened the letter paper and found that although Mrs. Fairfax was signed on the envelope, the letter was indeed written by Mr. Rochester.They confessed in their hearts that they had escorted Bertha Mason out of Thornfield Manor, but the night before departure, Bertha escaped again and tried to set fire to the entire champion again—fortunately, only one attic was burned , was discovered by Mr. Rochester.The three gentlemen worked together to put out the fire, but Mrs Poole suffered a lot from inhaling too much smoke.

Mr. Mason no longer has any excuses and reasons to excuse his sister, and he even had to pay a large amount of repair costs and medical expenses for it-the furious Mr. Rochester was unwilling to pay the bills for this anymore.Bertha was always half-mad and half-awake, and no one could tell whether her arson or murder was committed in a sane state.Mr. Rochester also won a compensation of five hundred pounds for Jane Eyre for her previous injury.

Mr. Rochester is going to return to Thornfield after arranging all the things at the end of March and the beginning of spring.It said that if Mr. Darcy kept them, he would pick them up directly at Pemberley Manor at the end of March; if they were unhappy with their visit and wanted to go back sooner, they could also write to Mrs. Fairfax, and she would arrange The coachman came to fetch them.And before, Mr. Rochester had promised to help her find out the whereabouts of her uncle in the Madeira Islands. He also wrote to his friend and changed the mailing address before March to Pemberley. Once there was a whereabouts, someone would send a letter. ——Jane Eyre was very grateful and admired for his thoughtfulness and care, and he arranged everything properly.

At the end of the letter, Mr. Rochester expressed his gratitude and concern for her: "I have finally pulled myself out of the mud of hell, Miss Jane. You will never know what this means to me, and I will be out For the concern of my friends, I also hope that you will never understand the joy of turning a corner into life. I am already looking for a new school for Adele. If you—— inevitably, are favored by God and find a family, You must also not blame yourself for this job. This is the greatest thing I can do for you as a friend. Enclosed is Mr. Mason's compensation and my heart."

After reading the long letter, Jane Eyre couldn't help letting out a sigh of relief, and everything in Thornfield Manor was finally settled.She flipped through and found that a letter was not sealed, and inside was a stack of banknotes. Jane Eyre counted it, and it happened to be 550 pounds.She pondered for a moment, packed up the letter and money, and hid them in the mezzanine of the suitcase when she came, deciding to deposit them in the bank when she had a chance.Now, she suddenly became a "rich man".But this price is something she doesn't want to experience again.

The other letter was signed by the newspaper office.She was about to open it when she heard a knock on her door.

"Jane! It's me!" Georgiana's voice came through the crack of the door. Her voice was suppressed, as if she was whispering, but her tone was very excited.

Jane Eyre put the letter on the table casually, and quickly opened the door.The moment the door was opened, Georgiana bent over and squeezed in, almost hitting her in the arms. "What's wrong? What happened?" Jane Eyre noticed that her face was flushed, her eyes were flustered, and even her hands were trembling unconsciously.

Georgiana didn't answer, but shook her head. She walked up and down the room in a panic, trying to calm down.

Jane Eyre poured her a cup of hot tea, and Georgiana took a sip, but was scalded.This startled Jane Eyre. She was about to ring the bell to ask the maid to bring some ice cubes, but Georgiana held her hand down.

Georgiana covered her mouth, tears welled up in her eyes—whether it was from being burned or something else.Jane Eyre was very worried and held her down on the sofa in front of the fireplace. "What's the matter? Georgiana. Could it be that something happened to Adele?" Jane Eyre's face also sank.Georgiana shook her head, hesitated to speak, but blushed even more.

"There is no one else here. I think you came to me because you thought I could help you, right?" Jane Eyre slowed down her tone and comforted her. The little girl didn't know what frightened her.

"It's...it's Lilith..." Georgiana's face turned white and red, "I just wanted to visit George's—I'm sorry, I still want to go and see it myself, but now this is the thing I regret the most "Georgianna took a sip of tea and took a deep breath, "I was about to knock on the door when I heard a creaking sound from the door panel, followed by the voices of...George and Lilith." Arriving here, Georgiana's face suddenly flushed.

Jane Eyre also widened her eyes, shocked by the amount of information in these words.I didn't expect George and Lilith to be so rampant! ——But it is also reasonable, they can do this kind of thing outdoors even in public.Unexpectedly, it was so "unfortunate" that Georgiana happened to meet her this time!For a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl, this is really unbelievable.

"I've also read a lot of books—of course I know what this means." Georgiana murmured, and she was also very shy about it. "I really didn't expect that George would do such a thing! Aren't his legs all Are you hurt..."

'This leg is not that leg! It was rare for Jane Eyre to make a pornographic joke in her heart.

"I really don't know what to do. If I tell Mrs. Reynolds, she must go crazy! She will definitely drive Lilith out of Pemberley! George...George will definitely be taught by his brother! Alas, I also know that they must be punished, but I, I dare not tell them!"

The simple girl didn't know it yet, but Mr. Darcy and Mrs. Reynolds already knew it, and she was just waiting for her to find out.And this kind of thing, although Wickham and Lilith committed it together, but in ordinary people, their respective punishments are completely different.
