Pride and Prejudice of Jane Eyre
Chapter 68 Niripei Garden
In summer, it dawns very early.Jane Eyre woke up when the first ray of sunlight slowly climbed onto the edge of the bed.She opened her eyes, and her mind was still filled with the romantic waltz last night, the gentle moonlight, the strong embrace and the sweet fragrance of flowers... She turned her head, and in the vase beside the bed, jasmine buds were budding among the green leaves, One has already opened, with tender yellow stamens hidden among the snow-white petals.
She got up and walked to the window, unexpectedly found that the sun on the horizon had not yet revealed its true face, and the deep blue, violet and golden yellow in the sky blended together deeply and shallowly.
'It looks like it will rain today.Let's hope the rain hasn't fallen by the time Georgiana arrives. ' thought Jane Eyre.
After she finished washing, she rang the bell, and it was rare for Lilith to curl her hair, put on a beige headband, tied it into a flower and hung behind her.Jane Eyre changed into a silk milky white high-waisted skirt, then went downstairs with Lilith and entered the dining room.
As soon as she turned the door of the dining room, Jane Eyre saw the back of Mr. Darcy sitting at the dining table, reading the newspaper and drinking black tea.She slowed down and crept up behind him, wrapping her arms around his head and covering his eyes with her hands.Mr. Darcy stopped flipping the newspaper, he laughed, took her finger, put it to his lips and kissed it lightly.
"Good morning, miss." His voice was still hoarse when he just woke up in the morning.
Jane Eyre moved her fingers slightly, feeling that his lips were extremely hot.Withdrawing his hand, he put it behind his back.
"Good morning, sir."
Lilith pulled away the chair opposite Mr. Darcy for her. After Jane Eyre sat down, Lilith went to the kitchen through the side door, and Mr. Darcy poured her a cup of tea.Jane Eyre just took a sip of tea, and John also arrived. "What an early wake up, young people!" He patted Mr. Darcy on the shoulder as a greeting.
"I'm going out today, and Sir Lucas is trying to get me to go hunting in his woods. Will you go with me, Mr. Darcy? I don't think he minds an extra companion."
"I'm sorry, Mr. Eyre." Mr. Darcy glanced at Jane Eyre, set aside some fried potato chips for her, and explained, "I will ride to pick up my sister Georgiana in the afternoon, and my friends will send her to The main post in Hertfordshire, and I'll meet her there."
"If your friends are willing, please invite them to come and have a seat. Niri Pei has a lot of vacant rooms."
Mr. Darcy complied, and the three enjoyed a quiet breakfast together.John took the last sip of coffee, wiped his mouth, and then grabbed the cane beside the table: "I'm always restless, so I'll go first, and you can enjoy it slowly." After saying that, he left.
Looking at his back, Jane Eyre suddenly remembered something, and asked, "What's your friend's name? Mr. Darcy?"
"Bingley, Mr. Charles Bingley, and his sister Caroline Bingley. His sister has just married Mr. Hurst, so she should not be traveling with her."
"Oh! Mr. Bingley!" It was him!
"Yes, he is a warm and gentle gentleman, one of my best friends. Janet, I want you to get to know my friends and relatives slowly." Mr. Darcy looked extremely serious, " My social relationship can't be said to be complicated, and there are only a few relatives who are close to me, and they will all...all welcome you."
Jane Eyre couldn't help becoming nervous, but she still remembered the arrogance of Mrs. Catherine de Bourgh!Her "rival in love" is not only Elizabeth, but also Miss Bingley and Miss De Bourgh!
"I hope so, sir." Her tone was inexplicably low, which made Mr. Darcy a little guilty—before he made up his mind to give his heart to Janet, he was in London under the arrangement of Mrs. Her social circles had made a big splash—he touched his nose, too guilty to tell her about it.
"Miss Jane! Miss Elizabeth is here to visit!" Lilith pushed open the door of the dining room, interrupting their conversation, "She is waiting for you in the living room."
"Miss Elizabeth?" Darcy frowned. Seeing his puzzled look, Jane Eyre couldn't remember who it was.
"I'll come." Jane Eyre stood up and explained to Mr. Darcy, "Miss Elizabeth is the second daughter of the Bennet family last night. She must have come because of what happened yesterday."
"I'm with you, Janet." Mr. Darcy chased after her, standing behind her like a knight, "She must have malicious intentions—" Looking at Jane Eyre's disapproving eyes, he changed his tone, "Well, perhaps she came to apologize rather than to cause trouble, but her sisters and mother are a pity. Janet, dear, you have always been too kind, and I fear you have been bewitched by her. "
Well, whoever Mr. Darcy is, doesn't have a good impression of the Bennets.
Elizabeth did come with an apologetic heart—even she herself felt wronged.Lydia's willfulness is not a day or two, but she has never been so uncontrolled and full of nonsense like now.Mrs. Bennet cried: "My baby Lydia must be suffering from hysteria! Bennet, people must be laughing at us, my Jane is out of luck! That Mr. Darcy, he is so arrogant Insolence, what to do with my girls' reputation at a ball like that! My poor nerves!"
The dull atmosphere at home made Elizabeth breathless, and Jane hid in the quilt and cried all night because of what happened last night-this was her first time to participate in a formal social meeting, although Miss Love said it was not "the kind of Prom", but being humiliated by one's dance partner is extremely embarrassing at any prom.
Lydia was locked in the utility room by Mr. Bennet. This was the first time he ignored his wife's obstruction so forcefully.Elizabeth didn't want to plead for her—she had gone too far this time, and the entire Bennet family was responsible for her actions.
Elizabeth didn't understand why Lydia wanted to prevent Miss Love from dancing with that Mr. Darcy, and even touched Miss Love!Although there must be many people secretly coveting Miss Eyre and Mr. Darcy separately, and there are also many people who want to take them apart, but Lydia is the only person who rushed directly in front of them.Elizabeth didn't think that a person as young as Lydia already knew how to snatch high-quality men!
Even so, she was still full of doubts, unwillingness and helplessness, and came to Nizhipei Garden in the family's carriage. "Liz, I only trust you in this family, and apologize to Miss Love for Lydia." Mr. Bennet confessed.
In her basket was the roast chicken made by the cook at home and the eggs freshly picked up in the yard. She was politely ushered into the living room by Ms. Lila, the housekeeper of Niri Pei, and sat down. Elizabeth secretly admired the amazing appearance of the housekeeper. .The low-key but exquisite decorations from various countries in the living room made her deeply curious about the owner of this room. Mr. Bennet once said the origin of Mr. Eyre, but Miss Eyre met him not long ago. Mr. Darcy It didn't look like anyone that Miss Ai could contact in her previous experience—Elizabeth even suspected that he was interested in Miss Ai's money!
Before she could take a good look at the whole living room, the door of the living room was pushed open.
"Miss Elizabeth, you are welcome to Nigerpei Garden, please sit down." Jane Eyre beckoned her to sit down on the sofa, and went to the window to open it by herself, "The summer weather in England is really boring, Miss Elizabeth , you must be hot all the way here, drink some lemonade." Lilith poured her a glass of iced lemonade, which was a drink that Jane Eyre often used to relieve the heat when she was in Madeira.Mr. Darcy ordered a glass too.
"You came to see me today because of what happened yesterday?" Jane Eyre asked straight to the point.
Elizabeth took a sip of water, showing embarrassment: "Miss Love, you must be tired of hearing what I want to apologize for. Oh, what a 'coincidence'! My two conversations with you were for Lydia, I apologize to you I'm really sorry, we have already grounded Lydia, and my father was furious because of her. My father really admires Mr. Love, and my sisters also really want to befriend you—"
"Twice?" Mr. Darcy noticed the word and interrupted her directly, "Miss Elizabeth, can you explain to me what happened the first time? How many times does my younger sister come to harass Miss Ai? This is really a new thing, does a ten-year-old girl have such a scheming plan?"
Mr. Darcy's words undoubtedly slapped the Bennet family in the face: "No one would believe that a young girl would do such a thing without instructions!"
Elizabeth's face suddenly flushed with anger: "Mr. Darcy! We didn't instruct her! Don't slander me and my parents, Lydia—she may be suffering from hysteria, and we are planning to send a doctor from London. She's acting very differently than she used to."
"You mean, she is possessed by a witch?" Mr. Darcy sneered, Jane Eyre gasped, poked his waist, and shook her head at him.
"Miss Elizabeth! I believe in your character, and I believe in Mr. Bennet's. With all due respect, Mrs. Bennet seems to be too spoiled for Miss Lydia, as I have mentioned to you before. Yesterday What happened late is exactly what I said before—she will always get into trouble." Jane Eyre slowed down her tone, looked at Elizabeth's flushed face full of shame and anger, and said soothingly: "What happened last night, I I don't care anymore, please relax. It's just..."
"God! I thank you for your kindness!" Elizabeth held her hand, "We must discipline Lydia well, and we won't let her attack you again! These are our chef's specialty dishes and some agricultural products. I hope you will accept it." She finally remembered the gift in the basket.
"Then, by accepting your gift, I have accepted the apology from the Bennet family." Jane Eyre asked Lilith to take the basket and took it to the kitchen. Elizabeth finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Mr. Darcy wanted to say something, but after being "glared" by Jane Eyre, he closed his mouth aggrieved.He kept a straight face the whole time, and sat beside Jane Eyre, listening to Elizabeth talk about the situation of Longborn. These short things about the parents made him gradually lose patience. Jane Eyre noticed his impatience, and thoughtfully let him leave first. Go get Georgiana.
Mr. Darcy snorted coldly when he saw Elizabeth finally heaving a sigh of relief.He approached Jane Eyre, embraced her abruptly, kissed the side of her ear quietly, said something in a low voice, and left.
"Miss Eyre, I really don't understand, with your character and wealth... why did you take a fancy to Mr. Darcy? In my opinion, apart from his rather outstanding appearance and perhaps not bad family property, his arrogance and bearing are really It is irritating and unworthy of you." Elizabeth hesitated as she watched Mr. Darcy's back disappear with cold eyes.
Jane Eyre touched the spot that was just kissed by Mr. Darcy, dumbfounded.This pair of Mr. "Pride" and Miss "Prejudice", no matter which world they are in, they are destined to dislike each other.
However, even if it is only out of her own selfishness, Jane Eyre hopes that only she knows Mr. Darcy's noble character.His rare tenderness was all given to himself.
"Miss Elizabeth, I have no words to describe his kindness to me. He may be arrogant, but he has the right to be arrogant—he is undoubtedly a rare gentleman."
Elizabeth looked at Jane Eyre's eyes full of gentle smiles, and reluctantly nodded.
