Pride and Prejudice of Jane Eyre

"Lilith! I don't need a slave!" Jane Eyre was upset by her crying, but she still supported her firmly.Lilith was stunned by her indifferent sentence, and sat on the table in a daze.

Mr. Darcy looked at Jane Eyre with a surprised look. He seemed to have no idea that she would refuse because of her kindness.

"Mr. Darcy, I understand Lilith's fear, maybe you don't know, the monastery may be a kind of relief for those who have lost all hope, but it is a cage for those who still have hope. I saw Lily before Seeing Si's appearance, I thought she was in the first case."

"Miss Love!" Lilith screamed, her face covered with tears, "Since you know, there is a prison! Why can't you show mercy and save me!"

Jane Eyre was so angry at this inexplicable accusation that she was almost speechless: "Lilith, I have no such obligation!" She looked at Mr. Darcy, who watched the farce in front of him calmly, with the emotion in his eyes Make her unpredictable.

"Mr. Darcy has agreed! Miss Eyre, I thought you were an angel sent by God to save me! If you are not, why bring me back from hell with sweet words and treats."

"I'm glad you still have the courage to live, Lilith." Jane Eyre no matter what Mr. Darcy thinks, the most urgent thing is this person in front of her, she slowed down her speech and said softly, "But, life is your own Yes, don't you? You want to be my 'slave', but what's the difference between that and the monastery? You don't really want to be a slave, you just want to escape there, right?"

Seen by her sincere eyes, Lilith was speechless, so she nodded subconsciously.

"Perhaps you think that I don't feel pain in my back when I stand and talk, and I can't understand your mood." Jane Eyre saw that Lilith nodded, and continued, "But, please think about it from my point of view. I don't care about other false names, but— —To put it bluntly, safety is my biggest worry. The place I’m going to is completely unfamiliar with this place, and if even the people around me can’t trust me, what should I do?”

Lilith's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly promised: "I swear to God! I will never betray you!"

Jane Eyre shook her head: "I don't believe in oaths."

"Then what do you believe?" Mr. Darcy had reached the door at some point, and was about to open it and go out.

"I only believe in myself, sir." Jane Eyre replied, and then looked at Lilith with absent-minded eyes, "Life is something you have to fight for yourself, not rely on others' salvation, let alone rely on others' promises." Lilith was depressed Looking at the patterns on the carpet, Jane Eyre couldn't see her expression clearly from her own angle.

Mr. Darcy opened the door without answering, and went out.This conversation should be over, and Jane Eyre took a last look at Lilith, who was in a state of despair, and followed Mr. Darcy to leave.

Jane Eyre was shaken for a moment, and almost agreed to Lilith's prayer.But she is more worried about her own safety. She is not the Buddha who cut meat and fed it to eagles, and she is also afraid of the story of "the farmer and the snake".If Lilith remained sober and calm to negotiate with her, she might really agree.But she has seen Lilith's madness before, and the bloody example of Wickham was still in front of her just now. She is very afraid that Lilith will lose control again one day, and she has no defense...

Jane Eyre felt powerless and disappointed with her thin body more than once.

Jane Eyre and Mr. Darcy have nothing to say all the way. Jane Eyre doesn't know what Mr. Darcy thinks. He is willing to let Lilith be free. Does he also think that he should take Lilith by his side?She was about to ask, but saw Mr. Benjamin coming in through the gate with a familiar figure.When he entered the door, he threw the whip to the servant, but was caught by a dog.He wore a baggy black coat that flowed with his steps.The tight trousers were stuffed into the riding boots, and the riding boots stepped on the thick carpet, making a rhythmic muffled sound.

"Mr. Rochester! It's been a long time." Jane Eyre shouted in surprise, and walked up to her, observing the expression of the man in front of her.His broad forehead was once full of melancholy and paranoia, but now the word Chuan between his brows stretched out.Hearing her voice, the hound jumped up and rushed straight towards him. Mr. Darcy was about to keep her behind, but he saw her stooping down and rubbing its head affectionately.The vicious hound bounced around her, and fell down under her touch, revealing its belly. "Pilot, you still remember me!"

Mr. Rochester coughed lightly, but Pilot completely ignored him, still acting like a baby under Jane Eyre's hands.

"Miss Jane, it's been a long time. It seems that you are much more comfortable in Pemberley than in Thornfield, so I won't bother to greet you." Mr. Rochester was still the same, with half-truth and half-fake sarcasm and jokes at the beginning of his sentence. The words pointed to two people at the same time.He also looked at the friend in front of him who hadn't seen him for nearly two months. Her face was no longer weak and sad from the boarding school, her lips were rosy, and her eyes were brighter.

Mr. Darcy answered: "Pemberley Manor entertains Miss Jane as the most noble guest." Now he changed his address to "Miss Jane".

"Mr. and Miss Darcy are very agreeable. Adele and Miss Darcy are already good friends."

Mr. Rochester nodded noncommittally, he picked up the whip that Pilot had thrown on the ground, and handed it to the servant behind him.Mr. Darcy invited him to talk in the living room. After Jane Eyre saluted, she hurried to the small study and told Adela that her guardian had come.

Adele was really happy and crazy. She kept asking Jane Eyre how Mr. Rochester was doing, and before she could answer, she excitedly introduced her lovely guardian to Georgiana.Georgiana predicted that Mr. Rochester must come this time either to take Adele away, or to discuss the matter of letting Adele go to London with her.Georgiana's face was calm, but no one could see the tension in her heart.

"Of course I would like to let Adele and Miss Darcy go to school in London together." Mr. Rochester's voice came from the door, and Jane Eyre and the two ladies just listened to it, "I am very glad that she can It is Adele's good fortune to have such a noble friend as Miss Darcy."

Georgiana held Adele's hand and wanted to continue eavesdropping, but Jane Eyre opened the door.Both gentlemen stopped talking and looked over.Georgiana and Adela saluted obediently, and Mr. Rochester got up to meet Georgiana.Although he has always been arrogant, he never makes mistakes in etiquette.

Mr. Darcy greeted them all to sit down. Today he raised his airs and fully showed his demeanor as a gentleman and descendant of nobility in front of Mr. Rochester.Mr. Rochester sensibly complied with his arrangement.

"As I explained in my letter to you, Mr. Briggs, Mr. Eyre's lawyer, came to England. He went to Gateshead and Lowood a few days ago. No accident, but a few One day, he will come back to take Miss Jane to the Madeira Islands. So I suggested in the letter that Miss Warren and Georgiana go to London to go to school together. It is a very good lady's school. Pay attention to the cultivation of literature and calculation." Mr. Darcy gestured to Georgiana, "Georgiana, do you have anything to express?"

Georgiana was grateful for the opportunity her brother gave her. She nodded reservedly, and walked to the side of the piano that she seldom used: "Mr. Rochester, I hope you like this piece." She sat in front of the piano, and Adele mentioned skirt, stood beside her.Georgiana and Adele looked at each other and nodded. Watery notes flowed from the keys. This is a familiar Beethoven's piano piece "Fur Elise".

Adele held the piano with one hand, spoke tacitly, and sang harmony for her with the natural singing voice she inherited from her opera singer mother.Jane Eyre looked at the performance in front of her in surprise, never expecting that they rehearsed such a wonderful little show.

Mr. Rochester was very surprised. Seeing Jane Eyre also had an unexpected look on his face, and he understood that the two ladies were secretly working hard for their own purposes.They are fighting for themselves.Mr. Darcy forced himself to put on an expression of "it's not surprising", but Jane Eyre saw full praise and satisfaction from his eyes.

The soft piano sound and Adele's immature and melodious humming sound intertwined, and the three adults watched their performance seriously.The piece was neither long nor short. When Georgiana pressed the last key and Adele's singing faded away until it disappeared, Jane Eyre couldn't help applauding loudly.

"Brava!" Mr. Darcy shouted restrainedly, but his applause was no less than that of Jane Eyre.

Mr. Rochester was awakened by the applause of the two, and could not help applauding.Georgiana and Adela performed an excited squat curtsey, with the style of great theater stars.

"This performance is really wonderful!" Mr. Rochester's tone was unexpectedly soft, "It reminds me of my experience in my youth. In the Paris theater, Miss Warren's high-pitched singing won the favor of countless opera lovers. Countless young men became her servants."

"Cough." Jane Eyre coughed lightly, obviously Mr. Rochester lost his composure and actually talked about these old things in front of Mr. Darcy.Mr. Rochester said "Ah!" and looked at Mr. Darcy: "I hope you don't mind... But I think you also want to know about Adele's life experience."

"Mr. Rochester!" Georgiana interrupted, "Who is my friend and how was he born? This does not require my brother's consent! Once I decide that Adele is my friend, it will not change!"

When Adele first heard Mr. Rochester mention her mother, she became depressed and timid.But Georgiana’s words brought tears to her eyes, and she couldn’t help hugging her—she was really inferior because of her background, so she didn’t really look forward to going to school with Georgiana in the future, she was afraid of being looked down upon by her .

"Miss Darcy, you have won my respect and approval." Mr. Rochester was silent for a moment, then raised the glass in his hand.

In the liveliness and harmony of the living room, with the tacit understanding of the two manor owners, the disappointing topic was revealed.Accompanied by the joyful sound of the piano, the laughter of the ladies and gentlemen was like a song.

In the shadow outside the window sill, Lilith clenched her teeth and held back her sobs, sobbing uncontrollably.

The author has something to say: I hope that the girls in my works can awaken self-awareness...this is the most precious asset.
