Pride and Prejudice of Jane Eyre

"...This is really a surprise!" Jane Eyre murmured.

She didn't expect that this day would come so early.As early as Thornfield met Mr. Darcy for the first time, she knew that she was likely to meet the heroine of Pride and Prejudice, and she was looking forward to seeing the pair of intelligent and astute eyes praised by the hero.

But now, the male protagonist has gone astray, and he is connected with himself.

Since that night, she sometimes wakes up in a dream.I dreamed that "Mr. Darcy" and "Elizabeth" in the movie held a happy wedding, and I was also wearing a wedding dress, and suddenly fell into the wedding scene and was pointed at by everyone.Such a sense of suffocation and "guilty" never visits during the day, but at night, it sprouts from the bottom of my heart.

"Janet, what's the matter with you." Mr. Darcy saw that her face was not good, and he wanted to reach out to cover her hand, but he stopped half way, "I thought you were looking forward to returning to England, don't you?" Are you reluctant to leave Madeira?”

Jane Eyre came back to her senses, looked at Mr. Darcy's completely different face from the movie in this chapter, and his gentle and worried eyes, and took the initiative to hold his hand: "I... I was just thinking, John is in the horse What should I do with Deira's property? He has lived here for more than [-] years, and the contacts he has accumulated are about to be cut off. It is not easy for him to adapt to the new environment at such an old age."

Mr. Darcy's breath was stagnant, and he wrapped her hand in his own.

John pretended not to see their interaction, and took a sip of tea calmly: "Janet, I know you are worried about me. But when I am old, the thing I look forward to the most is to be able to return to my hometown. I have worked my life for the first half of my life. Can go back—you don’t know how many British people want to go back in the Madeira Islands! But they are already deeply rooted here, and it is difficult to go back.”

John showed a wry smile: "Before that, I was alone, but now that I take you, I can leave here easily!"

"What about your vineyard and winery?" Jane Eyre was also very worried about this. She had managed it for John for a while, and she knew it was a huge asset!Concentrating half of John's life's efforts, it is not easy to sell at a low price.

"That will go to Briggs, who is my most loyal companion."

But in that case, there would be no useful assistants around John.Jane Eyre was trying to dissuade her, but Mr. Darcy pinched her hand to stop her.

"Perhaps, you can consider giving some dividends to Mr. Briggs." Jane Eyre had no choice but to suggest, and then she suddenly thought of something, "Oops! I need to get Lila back quickly! I hope she hasn't sent the letter yet, Our mailing address is about to be changed to Niger Pei Garden in England!"

Now that he has decided to return to England, Mr. Briggs is already busy in England, busy with his master's new home-he has no idea that there are more serious errands waiting for him in Madeira!Lilith is also going crazy, and the downfall of Lu Sien also gave the masters the opportunity to clean up a lot of redundant manpower, but the lack of a housekeeper can only be temporarily made up for by Lilith.

She rose from maid to acting housekeeper.This made many servants dissatisfied, but after all Lilith also came from the Pemberley Manor with a large number of people, where the intrigue of the servants and the bonds between the servants' families were more than ten times more complicated than that of the El Manor.Lilith imitated Mrs. Reynolds' attire, words and deeds, and managed the affairs of the manor with ease.

But the establishment of prestige also requires the help of kind people. Mrs. Anna, the chef in the kitchen, helped her a lot.She used to be a "popular candidate" for the position of housekeeper, but she claimed that she was too old and wanted to leave the opportunity to the heir of the future manor, so she wholeheartedly supported Lilith to become a qualified housekeeper.

With her help, Lilith meticulously cleaned up the family property accumulated in the manor over the past ten years, and hired temporary staff to pack those precious oriental porcelains and clocks into wooden boxes stuffed with cotton one by one. I'm afraid that there will be any bumps and bumps.

When Jane Eyre was not writing a new book, she would occasionally sit in the carriage and watch how the workers moved those belongings onto the ship at the port. She was so shocked by John’s family that she couldn’t speak. Those boxes were stacked up, almost full Most of the steamer—yes, John hired another steamer to "move".Jane Eyre doesn't even know where he got so much liquidity?

"You don't have to worry about that, Janet. Of course someone will deliver the money." John's response to her question was just a laugh.

'Could it be that Mr. Darcy is helping again? 'Jane Eyre thought suspiciously, but such a favor is not easy to owe!She and Mr. Darcy are now considered a "couple relationship" at best, and it is not good to trouble him like this.

But her doubts were dispelled when she saw Mr. Louis appearing haggardly at the farewell banquet at El Manor.

Mr. Louis still tried his best to maintain a decent appearance, his hair was meticulously combed, and the gold ornaments on his clothes were kept shiny, but his straight dress was slightly empty under his straight dress, and his cheeks were sunken Going down, although there is still a charming smile on his face, anyone who is sober can see his recent downfall.

The discussion about whether he is gay has never stopped—Jane Eyre did not understand before why the "open" West cared so much about his sexual orientation, but Elizabeth quietly told her that it was okay in Madeira, if such things spread In the ears of the old Mr. Louis who is far away in England, Mr. Louis will not only be completely deprived of his status as an heir, but he will also be locked up and treated as a criminal and a patient.

In order to break the rumors, Mr. Louis must have a wife to divert his attention as soon as possible.Jane Eyre felt pity for Miss Nancy at his side—even if she had targeted her.

Miss Nancy looked shy and not forced to smile, and it seemed that she was completely in love.As if declaring her sovereignty, she has been holding Louis's hand since the beginning of the banquet, leaning her upper body on Louis's body, talking to him sweetly.Since Louis entered the hall, he had been trying to avoid the sight of the hosts and leave early, but Nancy pulled him forcefully and walked towards her former competitor.

"Miss Love, I heard that you are going back to England next week, what a pity!" Miss Nancy tugged Louis' arm and looked up at him, "Mr. Louis and I will have an engagement banquet next month It's a great pity for me that you can't come!"

Jane Eyre was dumbfounded by her provocation, and after a simple curtsy, she only said: "Congratulations, Mr. Louis, Nancy. So where will your engagement party be held? Although I am not here, the gift will still be delivered of!"

"No—" "Thank you so much! Miss Love." Miss Nancy interrupted Louis' blurted refusal, "Of course the wedding will be held in Louis' old manor! It's so beautiful there, and Louis said he has designed it Well, when you walk on the red carpet, you must be covered with roses along the way... Oh, I wanted to invite you to be my bridesmaid! But you are going to England, what a pity."

Jane Eyre could not hear any regret from her tone.But she was not angry: "Yes, what a pity."

Seeing that she didn't express anything else, the smile on Nancy's face froze.She originally thought that Jane Eyre must be jealous to death. The property of the Louis family is not limited to the Madeira business. Everyone is guessing how amazing the assets of Louis' old family in England are. Besides, Mr. Louis almost got engaged to Jane Eyre!Doesn't she have any regrets?

Nancy wanted to say something else, but Mr. Louis hugged her waist as if he couldn't stand it, and successfully shut her up: "Honey, maybe you want to tell your sisters about our good news! Miss Love and other things Guests want to entertain!" Nancy glared at him, and muttered: "Are you still treating her...! I know that Miss Love's charm is naturally incomparable——"

"I agree with your point of view! Miss Nancy." The visitor interrupted her, stood beside Jane Eyre, and put his hands on the window behind her.Although he didn't have any physical contact with Jane Eyre, his actions were undoubtedly a gesture of wanting to protect her under his wings.

"I thought you couldn't get out of your body today." Jane Eyre looked up at the person beside him. He didn't do a very delicate grooming because of his rush, but even if his hair was a little messy, there was a trace of it in the sea breeze. Wild charm.

"No matter how busy I am, I can't refuse the invitation from El Manor." The corners of Mr. Darcy's lips curled up slightly, but he quickly turned his attention to the other two in front of him, raised his chin, and looked at him indifferently Nancy was taken aback for a moment, and she couldn't help taking a step back. Louis grabbed her waist forcefully.

Mr. Darcy narrowed his eyes, and said in a low voice: "Congratulations, Mr. Louis, you and your fiancée are very affectionate, which is really enviable." Jane Eyre almost laughed, and anyone with a discerning eye could see the "same bed, different dreams" ", she turned sideways, hiding her malicious smile.But in this way, her face was turned directly on Mr. Darcy's chest.

Mr. Darcy smoothed her curls with his hands.

"Mr. Louis has been so busy recently. He is always running around the courthouse and the mayor's office. He didn't expect to be able to finish his lifelong affairs. Such efficiency really makes me feel ashamed." He looked at Jane Eyre's collar and felt There is some space there, and some gold silk badges should be embroidered.

Nancy glanced at Louis suspiciously: "What are you doing there?"

Louis coughed lightly, and was about to leave with his arms around Nancy.Mr. Darcy nodded, and said no more.He never looked directly at these two people. Nancy, who had always been sought after, couldn't bear such eyes. She wanted to say something, but was forcibly taken away by Louis.

Jane Eyre faintly heard her sharp cursing, saying words such as "arrogant", "disrespectful" and "a natural match".Louis comforted him impatiently. When he couldn't help turning his head again, he saw Mr. Darcy fetching a glass of wine for Jane Eyre. They were standing in front of the window talking and laughing. After cursing in a low voice, he panicked again. He glanced left and right.Sliding onto the dance floor with his fiancée.

When Mr. Briggs came back, he and Mr. John stayed in the study for a whole day, and no one could go in to disturb them. Even Jane Eyre only went in to deliver a few sandwiches at noon to fill their stomachs.

On the day of leaving, Lilith handed her the list of items, and took the servants to report to her in the small living room.There are too many trivial things, and Jane Eyre is inevitably a little lost in listening.

She looked at Lilith as if she was a different person now. She already had the shadows of Mrs. Reynolds and Mrs. Fairfax on her body. Her gorgeous face and slim figure were covered by the rigid black skirt. , but her eyes were brighter than ever.Half a year ago, Lilith was almost dying in Bloomberg's basement, but now she has more passion for life than anyone else.

Would she still think of Wickham?

Before she could find a chance to test her, Mr. Briggs and John walked into the small living room with a smile. As soon as Mr. Briggs saw Lilith, he closed his mouth and suppressed the smile on his face. John just shrugged his shoulders at Jane Eyre.

"Miss Jane, I'm done reporting." Lilith closed the booklet in her hand without looking at the others.

Jane Eyre nodded and took John's arm. Behind Lilith and a group of servants who volunteered to go to England, the group walked out of the manor and boarded the carriage to the port.Mr. Darcy also rode to the port from the small estate where he rented.

Mr. Briggs bid them farewell at the port, and he was to remain in charge of the Madeira business.

Jane Eyre, father and daughter John, and Mr. Darcy boarded the ship first, leaving the servants to bid farewell on the shore.Jane Eyre looked back on the deck, and Mr. Briggs actually dragged Lilith to argue about something beside the carriage.But Lilith took a few steps back, looking very emotionally unstable, and finally mixed with the crowd, lowered her head and climbed onto the boat.

"Alas!" Jane Eyre sighed, and Mr. Darcy handed her a wide-brimmed hat to block the hot sun.

"Ah!" the fat lady couldn't help but sighed, "my dear Mr. Bennet! Did you hear that the Niger Pei Garden was sold! Mrs. Lucas said it was a young man Bought by an old squire with an income of nearly ten thousand pounds! What a bargain for her Charlotte! How could my darling Jenny not be so lucky! She's a year short of society!"

Mr. Bennet leaned back on the sofa, squinting his eyes at his wife from the newspaper: "My wife, I didn't expect you to want to marry Jane to an old man?"

"My poor nerves!" screamed Mrs. Bennet. "What nonsense are you talking about! The old squire must have had an heir, or why would he buy land? Mr. Bennet, he must be trying to save money for the heir." The family business is gone, I am still clear about this!"

Mr. Bennet raised his eyebrows and put on his hat: "I'm sure this gentleman must have an heir!" As he spoke, he walked out through the backyard with a cane.
