Pride and Prejudice of Jane Eyre

Blush flushed on Jane Eyre's cheeks, and she supported the back of the chair as if unable to stand, her head was dizzy.Not knowing whether she was still dizzy or because of Mr. Darcy's sudden confession, she involuntarily took another step back.

He looked right into her eyes, with his usual indifference on his face, but the twitching of the corners of his mouth and throat that kept swallowing saliva revealed his nervousness.

"Mr. Darcy—"

"Jane, Janet!" Mr. Darcy interrupted her, afraid that she would say the word of refusal, "please allow me to call you that! You may think I am too hasty, but I have already thought it over. Janet Te, you don't know what kind of storm your words once set off in my heart.

Even if you are just a tutor, I can't say that I don't care about your every move.Janet, I don't know if you still remember the friend Mr. Fitzwilliam once mentioned. He was forced to marry a woman he didn't love, hurt his true love, and stabbed his heart.We used to argue about that—"

Jane Eyre nodded, put her hands on the cold window sill, and leaned forward slightly: "I still remember, sir." It was that incident that made her understand the importance of status and class in this era - a woman, Even if she endures hardships and stands hard work, as long as she is not born as a lady, she cannot pretend to be a gentleman, otherwise she will be considered low/low.

"But, Janet, I don't want to deceive you. I've always thought so."

"Sir, we have already discussed the subject, and we were not pleasant at the time."

"Yes! But I'm going to tell you now, because of you, I believe - love, love makes people lose their minds and makes people completely different!" Mr. Darcy's speech became faster, His voice was low and struggling, "Janet, your rhetoric is shocking. Accepting it is undoubtedly a transformation for me. My values ​​​​have been shattered and squeezed into a new look by your hands."

He frowned and complained, "You are responsible for this, Miss Eyre!"

"Mr. Darcy, I am willing to take responsibility for this." Jane Eyre lay on the window sill, covering her burning face, her reason whispered in her heart, "Then, I want to ask you, if I am still just a family Teacher, will you still stand in front of my window and recite that poem for me?"

Mr. Darcy really fell silent. His hand reached into his pocket, as if he wanted to take out a cigarette to help himself think, but he couldn't touch anything.

A gust of wind blows, and Jane Eyre's hot heart calms down.

She began to wonder about her own question -- and honestly, it wasn't a good question.There is no "if" in the world, and her current identity change is a fact.But she couldn't help expecting too much from Mr. Darcy. She almost forgot that even though Mr. Darcy showed equality and respect in front of her, he was still the big landowner with a good background, and he was the famous Mr. Arrogant.

"I'm not sure, Janet." Mr. Darcy's voice was extremely low, "I don't want to say that I have fully accepted your 'all beings are equal' statement, and I still can't treat a maid as a person of the same class. Even if it's a lawyer or a priest, they're serving me. I can respect them, but I can't respect them as a gentleman."

His eyes were full of black, and he said softly, "Janet, after all, the only 'exception' I accept is you. I don't want to lie to you."

Jane Eyre was a little disappointed, but she also took it for granted.Mr. Darcy is not her, there is no experience from 200 years later, they are not people from the same world after all.

"Your sad eyes hurt me, Janet." He looked away, and rested his hands on the window sill weakly, "I am willing to change for you, but now I can't seem to..." He had some Regret the impulse tonight.

Opening the window, Jane Eyre, bathed in the moonlight and the fragrance of flowers, is like an elf. Her pale face and soft skirt seem to indicate that she is about to fly away.Such an unreal sense of fear made him blurt out and recite the poem that settled in his heart.And under her questioning, more than half of the heat in his heart was extinguished.

Jane Eyre looked at his trembling eyelashes, and felt an indescribable soreness in her heart.Mr. Darcy has silently changed a lot for her, which is not something any proud man can do.Undoubtedly, she also has a deep affection for him.But she was very stubborn and blind, and she had never truly understood his pain before.But he still kept the most sincere self, and didn't try to impress her with exaggerated words.

"Mr. Darcy, you are very kind." Jane Eyre couldn't speak a thousand words.

"I shouldn't put all the pressure on you, trying to make you completely accommodate me. Mr. Darcy, I'm also willing to try to understand your world and make some changes for you. "

Her words made Mr. Darcy's eyes light up. He raised his head and held out his hand to her: "Miss Eyre, would you give me a chance to pursue you?"

Jane Eyre looked at his big hands, pursed her lips, and put her hot hands on his cold ones.

For several days, Mr. Darcy did not show up at El Manor, which made Jane Eyre confused and anxious.

The servants of El Manor were bloodbathed, leaving only a few elderly people who had followed John for more than ten years.Lu Sien was secretly dispatched to America by John to be a serf, and his life was spared, but that would definitely be worse than death—not to mention whether he could reach America safely, even if he landed in full, waiting for his death. It's an even scarier hell.

John also leaves early and returns late. Although he is not in good health, he still has his fundamentals and is always restless.

"I promised Mr. Darcy to help him complete the investment here-this is a deal!" he told his adopted daughter, ignoring her anger, "I have a little secret and surprise, and it will come naturally when the time comes." I told you."

Jane Eyre is helpless, she always has no resistance to the "surprise" of her relatives, and seeing that John's mental state and health are getting better and better every day, she wants to persuade him, but she can't find a reason.

Jane Eyre had no choice but to ponder the wording and reply to those letters from France - Mr. Alexander Baudouin from Hugo Publishing House wrote a reply, and he was very interested in Jane Eyre's works.Mr. Baudouin was tired of the stereotyped Gothic and vulgar love stories and was looking for something new.But the market has spoiled those writers, and it is too easy to write works that use formulas, and no one wants to take a thankless effort.

Jane Eyre's contribution gave him some new ideas: feminist literature by a female writer!What an explosive and innovative theme!

Jane Eyre thought she was lucky!She had seen the name of this Mr. Baudouin in the books Georgiana had found for her, and he had encouraged many new writers in his personal capacity.

She quickly wrote the reply, packed up the full-text manuscript that had been transcribed, and handed it to Lilith, asking her to send it to the post office for her.

"Lilith? Lilith!" Jane Eyre yelled softly. She found that Lilith was often in a daze recently. "Could it be that the weather is getting hotter and you're not feeling well? You've been absent-minded recently."

"No...it's nothing." Lilith came back to her senses, and she took the package from Jane Eyre, "I was just wondering what Mr. Briggs was going to do in England. Miss Jane, everyone in the market is Discuss, does Mr. Eyre have any plans to go back to England with...Mr. Darcy." Lilith glanced at her, only to see that Jane Eyre's face changed slightly.

Jane Eyre drank the herbal tea in one gulp: "I'll ask John!" She simply put down her cup and went out.When she reached the garden gate, Jane Eyre turned her head and said to Lilith who was standing by the deck chair: "Post the letter as soon as possible!"

"What letter?" came Mr. Darcy's voice from the side of the pillar.

"Mr. Darcy!" Jane Eyre's eyes lit up, and she cheered briskly, then realized her gaffe, and tugged at the corner of her skirt, "I thought you had already set foot on the ship back to England!" Not showing up for so many days?

A smile appeared on Mr. Darcy's face unconsciously. He coughed lightly and said, "As a knight, how can he leave his princess at will. Mr. Love and I are busy with official duties, and now we have finally achieved our goal, so we are allowed to come to see you .”

"It seems that I am the dragon!" John strode out of the house, he could throw away the cane completely, "My Janet, you can't blame me! It's not my secret Here you go, said Mr Darcy, you will love the surprise!"

"Surprise?" Jane Eyre looked at Mr. Darcy, only to see his gentle gray-blue eyes looking at her without any deviation, and she couldn't help slowing down her tone, "It seems that we all have surprises to share! Lilith, you first Send a letter and leave it here to me."

She took the teapot.

Jane Eyre was stunned by the surprise of John and Mr. Darcy.

"My agent told me before that there was a small manor in Hertfordshire for sale at a very reasonable price. It was a pleasant place, inland, very suitable for a country gentleman. It's just that I always thought that Pemberley in Derbyshire The manor was already busy enough for me, so I didn’t plan to buy it, but John told me that he had plans to go back to England to buy a manor, and Nigerpe Garden suddenly appeared in my mind!” Mr. Darcy explained , while taking out a draft drawing of the manor.

John flipped through the sketches with satisfaction: "If you want to build such an exquisite small manor by yourself, it will take a lot of effort! It's a pity that the original owner was unlucky. He ran into financial troubles just after repairing it, and had to lower the price. sell."

"It's a low price, but there are not many people who can afford it." Mr. Darcy promised, "Otherwise, it wouldn't have been sold all the time. It's just that some people will rent it for a month or two for vacation. .”

"Did Mr. Briggs go to England to deal with this matter?" Jane Eyre recovered her voice after being shocked for a long time.

John threw a cherry into his mouth happily: "Yes, Janet. You are about to become the daughter of an old English squire!"
