Pride and Prejudice of Jane Eyre

Chapter 81 Netherfield Garden

Netherfield gradually emptied.

Mr. Bingley came home with his sister, and with the help of Mr. Darcy he commissioned an agent to find for him a good house and estate not far from Longbourn.He was eager to rest and recover immediately for the arrival of its new mistress.

Because the purchase of real estate was originally planned, Miss Bingley was also very excited. Although she didn't think highly of Miss Bennett's family background, she had a gentle and easy-going personality, and Miss Bingley was quite satisfied with her future sister-in-law.

Of course, Georgiana was quite satisfied with her future sister-in-law, and wished to take her back to Pemberley immediately, but she didn't know why her brother had been slow to act—everyone could clearly see the friendship between them.

Georgiana sat on the edge of the bed, closed the diary, sighed pretentiously, and heard a knock on the door.

"Please come in."

Jane Eyre pushed open the door and poked her head in: "Georgianna, the kitchen has a new cheesecake, do you want to try it?"

"Yes!" Georgiana put down her notebook and jumped up, but she suddenly thought of something and asked in a low voice, "Jane, can you talk to me?" She bowed her head sideways, looking very embarrassed.

Seeing her expression, Jane Eyre thought that she had some private little girl's privacy to share with herself, so she smiled slightly: "Of course, I am willing to be your audience." She walked into the door, and the door closed behind her. on.Jane Eyre sat on the edge of the bed, sticking to Georgiana.

Georgiana Mosuo touched the cover of the diary, felt the rough touch of her fingertips, and didn't know how to ask for a moment.

"What's wrong? Is there something bad at school?" Jane Eyre asked worriedly. Mr. Darcy told her a few days ago that it was the end of the holiday, but Georgiana didn't know why she was looking around. As far as it is concerned, he has been reluctant to agree to go back to school.Mr. Darcy and Jane Eyre are going to France soon, and if Georgiana does not go to school, she will inevitably be alone at home—as she was in late autumn last year.

"No..." Georgiana subconsciously denied, and then she suddenly felt that there were some things she could talk about. This person in front of her was one of her most trusted people, "...Yes! But it's not me, but Sarah pull!"

"Sarah?" The name sounded familiar.

"Sarah Crew, do you remember her? She was our classmate, we always called her Princess Sarah. Adele always liked to play with her, maybe because their mothers are French .”

"Ah! I remember her. What's the matter with her?"

"Captain Kelu did business with people, opened a diamond mine, and made a lot of money. This made the female students envious and jealous. However, she told me and Adele, compared to Captain Kelu who worked for her A doll custom-made in Paris, she hopes that her father can come back to celebrate her birthday with her."

"Of course it's true." Even though she said that, Jane Eyre couldn't help frowning. Even though she was not familiar with the plot of the little princess, she knew that Captain Kelu's mine investment would fail, and eventually he would die of fever. Sarah Ra, as an orphan, had a hard time living in a high-flying school.

"When Mr. Rochester came to pick up Adele for a vacation in France, he happened to mention that there was a fever in India, which made Sarah very worried."

Jane Eyre told her dryly: "Fever is not terrible, and it can always be cured. It's just that once the business fails, it depends on Captain Kelu's mentality and whether he can survive it."

Georgiana frowned and nodded, obviously her little brain couldn't hold such a thing.

"Then why on earth are you reluctant to go back to school? Is it because of the girls?"

Georgiana nodded dejectedly: "Adela has gone to France, and I don't want to deal with those hypocrites alone. Jane, can I go to France with you?"

"Go to France?" Jane Eyre hesitated, "You can ask Mr. Darcy directly, he will not ignore your reason - as long as it is reasonable." In fact, Jane Eyre was also moved, the Art Salon is a rare place The social opportunities, even if Georgiana and Adela were not qualified to attend, had the opportunity of having wonderful ladies in the house to speak, which was very beneficial to the education of the two girls.

Georgiana opened her eyes expectantly.

"However, do you want to leave Princess Sarah to deal with them alone?"

Only then did Georgiana think of this level, and she was instantly vented again.

Soon, all the people going to France were settled.With all the good words and promises, Georgiana finally persuaded her brother to take her with him.Jane Eyre originally wanted to leave Lilith in Netherfield to take care of her uncle, but John said that he didn't need so much communication by himself, and it was enough to leave doctors and lawyers.On the contrary, Jane Eyre has no "one of my own" around her, so she can't justify it.

Lilith was already proficient in packing luggage, and soon loaded several cars full of luggage, and dragged them to the ship in the port of London first.On the day of leaving, both Charlotte and Elizabeth came to say goodbye.

"What's the matter with you, that you want to go all the way to France!" Charlotte was very reluctant, pretending to complain, "It's rare for me to have a friend like you, and you have abandoned me! Don't be fooled by Paris! The aristocratic ladies are dazed and forget us poor country girls."

"My Miss Lucas! I don't dare to abandon you! I will come back after I finish my work, and I will definitely bring you a gift then." Jane Eyre hugged her and promised.

"Charlotte is waiting for this sentence!" Elizabeth blinked and glanced at Charlotte, and the three of them soon became a mess again, scratching each other's itches.

"I will definitely remember to bring you gifts!" Jane Eyre couldn't breathe from laughing, and after she calmed down a bit, she said embarrassedly: "Some things haven't been implemented yet, I can't tell you, if I succeed, I will definitely I have a surprise for you."

Jane Eyre hasn't told them about the upcoming publication of the work, lest it fail.

At this moment Mr. Darcy and John entered the drawing-room.John was walking with a civilized stick, and it was inconvenient for him to walk. The weather was getting colder, and his old friend came to the door again. Even if he tried to be brave, Jane Eyre couldn't stand it anymore.Mr. Darcy wanted to help him, but he was afraid that he would feel uncomfortable, so he followed him quietly, walked slowly, and listened to his explanation.

"Briggs will set off from Madeira and go to Saumur to investigate the situation first." John turned to Mr. Darcy and said, "The market in Saumur is very good, Mr. Darcy, you may also consider making an appointment in Madeira. Can you find better customers in Saumur with the investment from Lara?" This is what John specifically mentioned.Mr. Darcy thanked him politely and agreed.

John has no secrets from him, he can only give back the same gratitude to Jane Eyre.

Seeing Lilith also entered the living room, Jane Eyre made a gesture to her and knew it was time to leave. She kissed John and bid farewell reluctantly.

"I wish I could be with you all the time, John." Her eyes were uncontrollably warm.

"Then someone will not let me go, my dear." John kissed the top of her head and urged her, "Get in the carriage quickly, I have invited Mr. Bennet to play chess together!" Elizabeth heard her father's words Name, and Charlotte also came up to salute and say goodbye to her.

The carriage stopped at the gate of Netherfield Gardens, and Georgiana, clutching her hat, jumped into the carriage.Mr. Darcy helped Jane Eyre into the carriage, and arranged her hat and skirt for her.Jane Eyre's eyes couldn't leave John at the gate of the manor, and Mr. Darcy whispered in her ear pretending to be jealous: "Janet, can you look away from me? I'm standing in front of you." , but you look at others."

Jane Eyre scratched his palm lightly, and stared at him shyly.

Their small movements did not escape John's eyes.This is obviously a warm and sweet picture, but there is a soreness in John's heart.He didn't know how many times he could watch her leave with his own body?

"Pa—" Wayne raised his whip high and whipped it down heavily.

The avenue leading directly to the entrance of Netherfield Gardens was lined with two rows of lean, tall trees with yellow-green leaves fluttering in the wind.The sky is high and the clouds are wide, and in the wilderness, Mr. Darcy on horseback and the servants in the carriage behind him gradually drift away.John put on his hat and watched them go.The doctor wrapped a thick scarf around him in due course.

It was dusk when we arrived in London.

Mr. Darcy sent early to the hotel to make up three rooms.Jane Eyre looked at the Mediterranean Sea and the sparse curly hair that the hotel owner was familiar with, and couldn't help laughing: "Mr. Robin, we meet again. How is your business?"

Mr. Robin stretched out his hand obsequiously, and motioned the ladies to get out of the car by supporting his wrist: "Miss Love! Miss Darcy! You are welcome to come again! Thanks to Mr. Darcy's care, the business of our store has been good for the past six months. We have Tidy up the room, Miss Eyre, it's the same room you used to live in! I hope you're still used to it."

Jane Eyre joined hands cooperatively, but was cut off by Mr. Darcy halfway.Mr. Darcy turned sideways flexibly, separated Mr. Robin's gaze, and entered the hotel hand in hand with Jane Eyre.

Mr. Darcy said good-bye to them at the corner of the stairs, and agreed to meet in the dining-room.Jane Eyre followed the hotel maid to the room where she lived half a year ago.The ornaments in the room remained the same. After washing her face, Jane Eyre became sober. With the help of Lilith, she quickly changed into a silk dress, left the room, and knocked on Georgiana's door.

"Here we come!" cried Georgiana, and the clinking of jewels was heard in the room.After Jane Eyre responded, she leaned against the wooden wall in the corridor, counting the grains of wood on the floor boredly.

Suddenly there was a rattling sound from the nearby stairs. Jane Eyre turned her face and saw a small gray figure quickly turning down the stairs with a black cloth bag on her back.Jane Eyre heard the door of Georgiana's room open on the other side. She looked back and looked at Georgiana's attire with a smile.

With the help of the maid, she changed into a fluffy dress, which was embroidered with layers of delicate off-white lace, matched with a lace hat and gloves, and her jewelry was neat and delicate pearl ornaments, even on the small leather shoes, Both are studded with a large creamy white pearl.

Jane Eyre can't help sighing that the rich lady is really very stylish outside.

Georgiana bowed to her lightly, and the little leather shoes made a crisp and sweet click on the floor.Suddenly, the disgraced figure just now flashed in Jane Eyre's mind.
