Pride and Prejudice of Jane Eyre

Chapter 8 Listening to the Eight Trigrams

It's been a sleepless night.Jane Eyre feels that the relationship between her and Mr. Rochester seems to have made new progress, but this does not make her happy.Perhaps the "drawbridge effect"?Mr. Rochester went through a fire with her, and she even saved his life, so Mr. Rochester's attitude has changed?

Jane Eyre is unwilling to delve into it. Since she first met Mr. Rochester, she has been divorced from the original work, perhaps it has gone the other way.She can no longer be content with the status quo, and a life that is too leisurely and comfortable will paralyze her original intention.Following the rhythm of life in the original Jane Eyre, she certainly knows the future well, but that future is not what she wants.

This night passed in her wild thoughts. It was almost morning, when the first ray of sunlight penetrated into this small room through the curtains, she realized that the night had passed, but she was not sleepy yet, so she decided to Get up straight away.After a night without sleep, even if the mind is clear, the body is a little bit overwhelmed.She felt dizzy as she stood up from the bed.

After changing her clothes, she simply washed up and went downstairs.At this time, she was probably the first person to wake up in the entire Thornfield Manor, and even the maids hadn't started cleaning.She walked into the classroom and picked up a copy of "Robinson Crusoe", which was also a book she liked very much in her previous life.

Sitting by the window, Jane Eyre watched absent-mindedly. She felt like a "Robinson Robinson" who was suddenly cast on an isolated island. Her female identity was imprisoned in this small Thornfield Manor, and she was not even allowed to use her real name to submit articles.In her previous life, she was a person who loved traveling, and all the money she earned from part-time jobs and scholarships were spent on buying books and on the road.However, in this life, let alone traveling, even going to the city once is an extravagant wish.

She sighed and stared at this page for a long time, but didn't see anything.She looked out of the window, and the sky in the distance was already glowing red with the morning sun.The sun is especially warm in the winter morning.

'When you are looking at the scenery, others are also looking at you. '

She didn't notice that a figure in a dressing gown appeared at the door of the small classroom.He looked at her still immature face, the rising sun formed a soft halo through the fine hair on her face.She was very thin from years of living almost as a nun.This instead makes her facial contours extra deep.And because of the comfortable life in Thornfield Manor, there was already a hint of sensuality on her cheeks, and the sun put blush on her.

He stared at it for a while, then turned and left.

Jane Eyre was stunned for a while, and when she heard the eight o'clock ringing, she came back to her senses.After breakfast in the dining room, Jane Eyre went back to her room, took the notebook in the drawer, and planned to write slowly in her spare time.No matter what, life will always go on, and she has found her new way out. Taking a step back, if she leaves Thornfield in the future, she will also have a source of income.In addition, she is now completely isolated from her previous life, and her whole body has nothing related to her previous life except her thoughts and mind.

What she fears most is being assimilated by the environment.She was very afraid of burying her past thoughts in her memory, so that ten or twenty years later, her previous life would be Zhuang Yimeng instead.Originally, I just wanted to make money by writing gothic novels, but now because of the sudden sense of "loneliness", I want to leave something related to my previous life.

In the vicinity of Mr. Rochester's bedroom, she saw the servants discussing yesterday's fire.None of them knew the real cause of the fire yet, and they were just thankful for Mr. Rochester's safety.Jane Eyre went up and saw Grace was fixing the rings of the new tent through the open door. She was still reticent, just staring at the work in hand, and did not talk to others.

Jane Eyre looked at it for a while, but didn't see anything from her rigid broad face, so she walked away and went directly to the classroom.Because of Mr. Rochester's return, Adela has not escaped from the joy of escaping and returned to the state of class.Jane Eyre felt that she could not let this little girl go any longer. Since she received wages as a family, she should be disciplined and restrained from going astray.

Jane Eyre didn't know that the girls' tutors at this time were actually teaching etiquette and literature more, helping the employer's daughters to attract more gentleman's attention and marry a good family when they entered the social world in the future.According to the compulsory education in her previous life, she arranged literature classes, arithmetic classes, English classes, geography classes for Adela... but music and painting were a kind of adjustment.She doesn't dare to teach biology, chemistry, physics and other knowledge rashly, for fear that she will accidentally say something that has not been proposed in this era.

Fortunately, Mr. Rochester did not interfere with her teaching plan, nor did he intend to train Adele to be a famous lady.He was just her guardian. Although he adopted this girl out of kindness, he definitely didn't like it.On the contrary, every time he saw Adele chatting in cheerful French, it always reminded him of the unpleasant memories of his time in France.So when he taught Adele her homework, he would be surprised at her ability in arithmetic.

And Jane Eyre, without knowing it, and with the acquiescence of the male master, puts more emphasis on practical teaching rather than mainstream artistic edification.

Today's Jane Eyre has returned to the teaching schedule discussed with Adele before, studying for [-] quarters of an hour and resting for a quarter of an hour.Every two hours, change to a homework.After finishing lunch, Adele had an hour's lunch break, and Jane Eyre could do some things on her own.She plans to start a new creation after finishing the Gothic novel she is currently holding.She doesn't want to live mediocrely like any ordinary woman in this world, she wants to leave some of her own thoughts in her works.She doesn't have any ambitions to change the world, she just wants to at least start from herself and change the people around her.

On this day, Jane Eyre never saw Mr. Rochester, and after sending Adele to bed at night, Jane Eyre was invited by Mrs. Fairfax to go to her room to warm up and chat.

"The weather is nice tonight, and the moon is so bright." Jane Eyre sat in front of the fireplace, holding a knitting tool in her hand, and looked out of the window.Mrs. Fairfax, surprised to learn she knew nothing about sewing, insisted on teaching her the basics of knitting.The thick and thick needles, which were totally useless in Jane Eyre's hands, quickly wove the wool into rows and rows of patterns in Mrs. Fairfax's hands with a delicate and subtle movement.

Mrs. Fairfax put down her needle and thread and handed it to her.As a beginner, she always skipped stitches and missed stitches accidentally, and she was always inseparable from Mrs. Fairfax's rescue.

"Yes, Mr. Rochester chose a good day to go out." Mrs. Fairfax picked up the sweater she had just started knitting.It wasn't long before her last work was finished.

"Is he out? No wonder I haven't seen him all day."

"Yes, he set off after breakfast. He went to Mr. Ashton's in Rhys. I say, he was away at last, and this time he almost stayed at home when he came back. It's not like he .”

"Oh! Prom! I've never seen a prom before." Jane Eyre put down her needle and thread, and asked with great interest, "I thought Mr. Rochester was the kind of 'cynical' person! I didn't expect him to be Do you like this kind of activity?"

"Haha! My dear, although Mr. Rochester is not a frivolous young man and his appearance is not outstanding, a gentleman like him who is knowledgeable, wealthy and well-known is always very popular with ladies."

"Surely Thornfield will have a ball?"

"The last time Thornfield had a ball was six or seven years ago. But then, Mrs. Ashton of Rhys has three elegant daughters, and the noble Blanche Ingram and Mary Ingram. Miss, at the ball six or seven years ago, Miss Ingram was the princess of the night."

"Is she really beautiful?" Jane Eyre was also curious about the "Miss Assist Cannon Fodder" in the original book.

"Of course, at that time, she became the focus of the gentlemen's attention as soon as she appeared on the stage. She also sang a duet with Mr. Rochester, which won full applause." Mrs. Fairfax was full of pride and joy. Yan.

Jane Eyre thought of the French opera singer.

"Miss Ingram also has a beautiful voice. Later she also played the piano. Although I don't understand music, I heard from Mr. Rochester that she played very well."

"Such an excellent lady, why is she still unmarried?" Jane Eyre felt a little sympathetic. According to Mrs. Fairfax's description, she is undoubtedly a very good marriage partner.In this era, she was 25 years old and still not married-Jane Eyre thought of Charlotte Lucas in "Pride and Prejudice".

"Probably because of the dowry that doesn't match her beauty and talent. The elder brothers of these two Miss Ingrams inherited almost all of the family property." Jane Eyre suddenly realized that she had forgotten such a thing.

Similar to the two elder sisters of the five Bennet girls in "Pride and Prejudice", they all have beauty and talent, and good vision, but their marriage is dragged down by the dowry. Dowry Mr. Bingley and Mr. Darcy.

On the first day she came to this world, she 'met' Mr. Darcy, but unfortunately she didn't see this gentleman with her own eyes. She didn't know how old he was now, so she couldn't guess the age of Miss Bennet.She is also full of affection for Elizabeth Bennet, and wants to see her beautiful eyes full of wisdom.
