Pride and Prejudice of Jane Eyre

"Georgiana Reed?" Georgiana poked her head out when she heard the name of her namesake in the carriage.Mr. Darcy also set his eyes on them.Mr. Rochester said "Huh?" He never thought of it: "She is Miss Jane's cousin—Miss Reed of Gateshead House. But..."

"Li Wen, you said earlier that she and her uncle came to London?" Jane Eyre thought of another insider here.

When Li Wen heard the whereabouts of the former owner, he was surprised and strange: "Yes, Miss Georgiana was indeed invited by Mr. Gibson. Mr. Gibson is quite famous in London. Although I didn't accompany him, I must have Mr. Gibson I won't treat my niece badly either."

"Are you Miss Reed's family?" The maid's eyes widened and she raised her head, almost losing the bread and snacks in her hands.Seeing this, Jane Eyre knelt down and helped her up.She didn't answer directly, but just asked: "How is Miss Georgiana? I don't know you. Aren't you the one who followed her from Gateshead Mansion?"

"I am the maid of the Gibsons, and I have been sent by the master to look after Miss Reed."

"Mr. Gibson? Can't he afford a maid?" Jane Eyre frowned. The maid in front of her looked very malnourished, and her urgency for food was obvious to the naked eye.The condition of the servants is a good reflection of the condition of the master, so it can be seen that Mr. Gibson and Georgiana Reed must have a hard time.

The maid looked embarrassed, she couldn't speak out about the master's family affairs, but these people seemed to know the master.But the current situation of the masters is really not good, and even the servants are unlucky. She hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Mr. Gibson was framed and lost his job in the government...Miss Reed squandered her property early on. Mr. Gibson is out of luck, and her life is not easy." She couldn't go into details, but Jane Eyre could already guess from her expression and words that it was not just "difficulty".

Although she pitied the maids and the masters who had lost power, their lives were extremely difficult.But Georgiana Reed herself is also very responsible for the current situation. When Mrs. Reed passed away, she left a large inheritance. If she lived frugally, it would be enough for her two daughters to find a good home anyway.But Georgiana Reed was vain, and loved all music, balls, and society, and any inheritance was soon squandered.

And because she has no business sense, her beauty will become a sword to stab herself.She was very confident and even conceited about her appearance since she was a child, and she paid more and more attention to clothing and maintenance, but she developed an empty mind.

In the memory that Jane Eyre inherited from the original Jane Eyre, the memory of Georgiana Reed is not half tender.She was an arrogant girl since she was a child, bullying the weak and fearing the strong, she never had a good face towards Jane, and she shouted and shouted.She was one of the factors that made up Jane's painful childhood.

Seeing the maid in front of her looking at her expectantly, Jane Eyre still hardened her heart: "Although I am an old acquaintance with Miss Georgiana, those memories are not good. It's just that I see you are really pitiful, and you must have a good life." It is difficult, so I will give you another five shillings, and it is up to you whether you want to give it to your master." As she said, she counted out five coins from her pocket and threw them into her skirt pocket.

'Just do a good deed that day. ' she said to herself.

The maid wanted to refuse, but her hands were full of things and she couldn't move.Her voice trembled, thanking her again and again.Jane Eyre just nodded and accepted her thanks.Turning around and getting into the car, the convoy started again-they had delayed long enough.

"Miss! Where do I go to repay you! I don't even know your name!" Seeing that the carriage started to move away, the maid came back to her senses and shouted.But Jane Eyre did not return to her.

Mr. Darcy, riding on the horse, paused slightly after hearing this call.

The owner of the hotel greeted us early at the door.

"Mr. Darcy, Mr. Rochester! Your humble Robin is looking forward to your arrival!" He sang out in a pompous tone, "I have tidied up my room and prepared delicious steaks in the kitchen. Let's rest quickly. Must be exhausted on the road!" Mr. Robin has a big beer belly and the buttons on his shirt are crumbling.The short Flack opens wide, making his figure even fatter.

Mr. Rochester and Mr. Darcy dismounted and made a simple courtesy to him, raising their chins.Mr. Robin became more and more attentive.He circled the two gentlemen like a "butterfly", introducing the exquisite service of the hotel, and he did not forget to ask the servants to lead a few horses to the stables to eat "the best carefully prepared feed".After exchanging pleasantries, he personally greeted the carriage, opened the door for the ladies, and helped them get off the carriage.He kept boasting about the elegance, beauty and dignity of the ladies.

As soon as Jane Eyre stepped out of the carriage, she was supported by a pair of fat hands. When she raised her eyes, she saw a shiny Mediterranean Sea, with a few sparse strands of hair lying across her head.Both Mr. Rochester and Mr. Darcy can be regarded as "thick-haired" Englishmen, and this is the first time that Jane Eyre has seen the perfect inheritance of British blood - hair.

Jane Eyre controlled herself not to stare at other people's heads all the time, but Mr. Robin smiled and didn't mind, and even touched the top of his head on purpose.Only then did Jane Eyre notice that most of the gentlemen were wearing hats or wigs, but he exposed the top of his head in such a funny way, but instead showed a kind of humorous self-mockery.

The dishes at the Robin Hotel are very good, and it can be said that they are the most palatable dishes that Jane Eyre has tasted since she came to this world.The way the chef handles the meat is quite oriental. She couldn't help eating a few more mouthfuls, but she stretched herself out.Georgiana and Adela made fun of her on rare occasions when she lost her temper.Mr. Darcy concealed the upturned corners of his mouth by drinking.

After laughing, Georgiana thought of the upcoming parting, and the smile on her face faded again.

After lunch, Mr. Darcy's valet came down from upstairs, bowed respectfully and said: "Except for the luggage of Miss Darcy and Miss Warren, the rest of the luggage has been placed in the room." Mr. Darcy nodded and took out the luggage. I took out my pocket watch, and it was almost the time agreed with Mrs. Jenny.

"Let Li Wen harness the carriage and set off," he ordered.

Georgiana and Adela became wilted all of a sudden, their eyes became red, they jumped off their chairs and hugged Jane Eyre.Jane Eyre had no choice but to hug them and comfort them in a low voice. Those words had been said countless times, but they still couldn't stop the girls from feeling sad about parting.Seeing this, Mr. Rochester and Mr. Darcy found an excuse to smoke outside, leaving the room for the ladies to say goodbye.

"Don't cry, your eyes are swollen, but how can you meet your new classmates." It was not easy for Jane to calm down their emotions, "I will send you to school, don't make gentlemen wait too long."

After hearing the knock on the door, Mrs. Jenny, the vice principal, shouted "Come in", and she raised her head to reveal a pair of sharp eyes.

"Oh! Mr. Darcy!" Mrs. Jenny quickly put down her pen when she saw the person coming, and got up to meet him.Mr. Darcy turned sideways, revealing the figure behind him.While looking at them, Mrs. Jenny rang the bell and asked the maids to bring refreshments.

"Sit down quickly." She greeted the guests and sat down on the sofa in front of the desk. "I have been waiting for you. Georgiana, how are you recently? You haven't come to school for half a year. Miss you so much."

"Ms. Jenny, thank you for your concern. Everything is fine. I miss my old friends too, but now I want to introduce you to my new friend—Miss Adele Warren." Georgiana got up and said to her Following a standard ladylike etiquette, after seeing her nodding in satisfaction, she pushed out Adele who was a little nervous beside her.Adele also saluted and introduced herself according to the preparations she had made earlier.Although Jane Eyre didn't show it on the surface, she was very worried about her in her heart.

After the maid knocked on the door, she came in and poured tea and handed refreshments to the guests.Jane Eyre found that the etiquette of the people here, whether it is the maids or the principal, or the ladies in the doorway that she accidentally glimpsed in the aisle just now, is meticulous, brisk and elegant.

Mrs. Jenny inspected Adela's study progress, and Jane Eyre's heart was lifted accordingly. She was also very nervous about whether her teaching was successful.Adele sang a very beautiful song, recited a hymn, and played a piano piece.Mrs. Jenny nodded with satisfaction: "Miss Warren's art skills are learned very well, which shows that she has received a good education. Her tutor must have put a lot of effort into it."

Jane Eyre heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this, stood up and saluted Mrs. Jenny: "Thank you for your affirmation of my students, this is the greatest reward I have received as a tutor!" Mrs. Jenny looked at Mrs. She: "Oh! You are Miss Adele's tutor? Excuse me, why don't you continue teaching?"

"Miss Jane is about to leave England due to personal matters." Before she could answer, Mr. Rochester said, "As an employer and a friend, I understand her approach very well. She is undoubtedly an excellent teacher, but she deserves better " Mrs. Jenny nodded in understanding.But Jane Eyre couldn't see the approval from her eyes, and her eyes were alienated and prejudiced as always.

"Let Sarah take Miss Warren to do a set of exercises next door." Mrs. Jenny ordered the maid.Adele became more nervous visibly, and Georgiana shook Adele's hand.Mrs. Jenny took out a paper from the drawer: "Miss Warren, you don't have to be nervous, we just want to know if we can put you and Miss Darcy in the same class."

After a while, a beautiful lady came in. Her dress and demeanor all showed her noble birth. The expression on her face was not arrogant, but pure and lively like a child. "She is Sarah Kelu, our grade leader." Georgiana introduced them in a low voice.This name made Jane Eyre feel very familiar.

'Could it be a character in another work? ' She couldn't help thinking about it.

Adele was led by Sarah to the small room next door.Mrs. Jenny asked Mr. Rochester about Miss Warren's situation and background. Mr. Rochester didn't have the patience to deal with these, so he pushed them all to Jane Eyre.Jane Eyre had no choice but to sit in front of Mrs. Jenny, emphatically praising Adele for her lively and cuteness and her talent for music.

"Miss Warren's last name...?"

"Her mother is Miss Warren, a well-known French singer." Jane Eyre replied briefly, avoiding the important point, "so her French level is very high, you must want to know that."

Mrs. Jenny looked at her, but didn't ask any more questions, just said: "That's great, our school also has French classes, maybe she will be willing to help the students. By the way, Sarah's mother is also French, They can become friends. Don't worry, Sarah is the most valued student of Principal Minqin. She is noble, kind, and an excellent grade leader."

Jane Eyre complimented each other cooperatively with her, but there was an earthquake in her heart.It was only after hearing Principal Minqin's name that she realized that this really was a small world again!

Soon Sarah came back with Adele, and she tried her best to praise Adele's rich knowledge reserves, especially literature and French, which had surpassed many senior students.Only then did Jane Eyre observe this Miss Sarah Kelu carefully. She didn't seem to be suffering, and she was completely a spoiled lady.

Since Mr. Darcy is a sponsor of the school, he has cleared up the relationship early, these investigations are just to find out the bottom line, and they pass quickly.When it was time to leave, Georgiana and Adela insisted on sending her to the carriage, and Mrs. Jenny expressed her understanding.

A group of people left the office, and Mrs. Jenny introduced the situation of the school to the parents while walking.It was just the time for get out of class to end, and the crisp and lively voices of the girls surrounded the corridors and stairwells.A door next to Jane Eyre suddenly opened, and a group of girls were about to come out holding their textbooks. The leading girl was wearing luxurious clothes with a beautiful diamond brooch on her chest. Seeing them, she saluted proudly.

"Laya Hebert, this is your new classmate, Miss Adele Warren." Mrs. Jenny introduced, "This is our deputy head, Miss Laya Herbert " Miss Herbert was about to say hello cordially, but she saw Miss Kelu standing with them, her face maintaining a neither awkward nor embarrassed look.Maybe the gentlemen are not so sensitive, but Jane Eyre sensed the undercurrent and couldn't help worrying about Georgiana and Adela's future study life.

They also visited the dormitory. According to Georgiana's class, she could have two rooms to herself, but she insisted on a large suite with a separate bathroom and two small beds in the large room.Their luggage had already been brought in, filling up the space in the room, and the maids just opened the boxes in an orderly manner.Mr. Rochester arranged for Sophie to stay with Jane Eyre for another two days until she boarded the boat, and then returned to school to take care of Adele's daily life.

When she said goodbye, Jane Eyre was about to get into the carriage, but she still couldn't help turning her head and asking Georgiana what she thought of the students in the school.Georgiana smiled knowingly: "Sarah is very popular, she is simply a little princess, I think, except for Herbert, no one dislikes her. But Herbert..." She blinked, Jane Eyre was relieved. Although Georgiana had been deceived before, she was sober this time.

"Let's not talk about our place, no matter what, there will be no danger." Georgiana and Adele took turns kissing her face to face, and finally said goodbye solemnly.The carriage was about to start, and Jane Eyre was worried, and finally told her: "Adela, Georgiana, you must look at your sincerity in making friends, not false flattery! Money is not the criterion for measuring character and friendship!"

The carriage drove away from the school in the setting sun, and Jane Eyre put her head back from the window until she could no longer see anyone.The carriage was empty now, there was no chattering voice from the two ladies, only the regular sound of horseshoes and tires rolling over the uneven pebbles.Jane Eyre finally felt a silent sadness.

The return journey always comes faster than the return journey.They finally arrived at the hotel before dark.Mr. Robin still greeted the guests attentively.After dinner, a servant announced that a gentleman was visiting.

"Mr. Briggs!" Jane Eyre finally cheered up.

The author has something to say: Some readers wanted to see the plot of the little princess, but I still messed up the timeline and put her in this world.I feel that Sarah's quality and charm are in line with the tone of this article, so I put it in after careful consideration, and she will have her own new story in the future.She won't just be someone who's out of the main line.In fact, the people I spent a lot of time writing about will be important supporting roles in the future. 【Crazy Hint】

This chapter is a bit long, and the next chapter will be longer. Tomorrow, I will completely end this journey in England and open the copy of Madeira.
