Pride and Prejudice of Jane Eyre

In the early morning of the next day, Jane Eyre sent a letter to Mr. Baudouin.After watching the servants ride away on horseback, Jane Eyre invited the ladies to have breakfast together.Lilith took over the kitchen, and the hosts had just walked into the dining room, where a full English breakfast had been laid out.

After enjoying breakfast quietly, Jane Eyre looked at Sarah who was hesitating to speak, and asked considerately, "What's wrong? Do you need my help?" Sarah's face turned red, and she handed out a letter from behind. The letter was neatly written: "Miss Eyre, I would like to ask you...to help me deliver the letter to Mr. Barlow. But I don't know where he lives..." Her voice was getting weaker, but her back was straight .

Jane Eyre reached out to take the letter, and saw only Mr. Barlow's name on it.She nodded: "This is not a very difficult matter, Miss Kelu, don't worry, I will find someone to hand it to Mr. Barlow in person." Sarah smiled, Georgiana and Adele Cheers of encouragement.

Mr. Darcy watched the girls run out of the restaurant, and rubbed Jane Eyre's hair: "Leave it to me, it's always safer for a man to come forward." Jane Eyre's hair was messed up by him, and she gave him a look Then, raised his hand and reached for his hair.Mr. Darcy laughed and avoided, but his neatly combed hair still failed to escape revenge, and naturally drooped.

Mr. Darcy laughed heartily and leaned on the armchair begging for mercy. Jane Eyre did not let him go. half sat on him.

Mr. Darcy's eyes became deep, he panted heavily, controlled his heartbeat, and grabbed her mischievous hand.Jane Eyre's originally coiled hair was all loose, and the curly hair hung down messily and fell on his face.

Mr. Darcy blew her hair: "My face is itchy." Jane Eyre wanted to reach out to brush her hair, but found that her hand was completely restrained: "Mr. Darcy, don't you let go of my hand , How can I--ah!" She was hugged around the waist, and her whole body was dragged by his broad palm on the back, and she fell towards him who was sitting.Now, she completely knelt on his lap.

Jane Eyre's face turned red all of a sudden, and Mr. Darcy grabbed her two hands with one hand, put the other on her waist, and completely trapped her in his arms.Jane Eyre was about to struggle, but she heard him say, "The tip of my nose is itchy." Her curly hair brushed his face, and Mr. Darcy blew away her hair and her neck as well. Gotta turn rosy.

Embarrassed and angry, Jane Eyre bit the tip of his nose, but lost her strength the moment she touched it.A low chuckle escaped Mr. Darcy's throat, and he said hoarsely, "And the left cheek."

The warmth stagnated slightly, and then moved to his cheeks.

"A little further down."

"And here." He raised his head, let go of her hand, and stroked her neck.Jane Eyre put her hands on his broad shoulders, and her eyes were sucked into the abyss by his gray-blue eyes.She turned her face sideways, lowered her head, and actively kissed under his breath.

When Lilith knocked on the door of the restaurant, the two finally let go of each other.Jane Eyre was dizzy and got off him in a panic.Mr. Darcy also got up and circled her with weak legs.

"Mr. Baudouin's carriage has already parked outside." Lilith lowered her head and did not look at Jane Eyre, which made her shyness subside a lot.But: "Mr. Baudouin's car has arrived at the gate?"

"How could it be so fast?" She looked at Mr. Darcy suspiciously.

"It seems that Mr. Baudouin has been waiting for your letter for a long time, my dear. This is very beneficial to you." Mr. Darcy lowered his head and brushed away the hair sticking to the corner of her mouth for her. "Shall I go with you?"

"...No need, Mr. Darcy." Jane Eyre refused, "I'm fine by myself. Mr. Rochester said yesterday that he would come to visit today. As you said, Mr. Baudouin will not make things difficult for me."

Mr. Darcy thought for a moment: "Let Lilith follow you."

Jane Eyre nodded.

"Go and change your clothes, and I'll take you to the door." Mr. Darcy kissed her hairline.

M. Baudouin's coachman squatted by the garden, smoking idly.When he was about to ignite the second one, he heard the door behind him being opened. He turned his head and saw a petite lady in a milky white dress and a wide-brimmed hat of the same color, with a tall and handsome gentleman beside her. While talking, he walked out.Behind her was a beautiful maid. She was only wearing a plain black dress without any decorations, but she still caught all his eyes.

"Sir? Sir!" Jane Eyre raised her voice, seeing that his eyes were completely frozen behind her, she understood.The coachman woke up suddenly, blushed and scratched his head, opened the carriage door for her, and stammered, "Miss Eyre, please get in the carriage. Mr. Baudouin is waiting for you in the warehouse of the publishing house."

Jane Eyre nodded, and Lilith helped her into the carriage.Mr. Darcy, with his hands behind his back, watched them settle down, and gave the groom some tips.The groom was pleasantly surprised, and did his best to praise Mr. Darcy's generosity.Mr. Darcy didn't leave Jane Eyre's eyes, but nodded slightly: "Be careful, don't drive too fast."

After the groom thanked him for his promise, he jumped into the driving seat in front.

"I'll ask Li Wen to pick you up later." After Mr. Darcy kissed her hand lightly through the glove, the carriage started.

When Mr. Baudouin was drinking coffee in the dining room in his dressing gown early in the morning, he heard the hurried footsteps of his valet and his excited voice: "Mr. Baudouin! Miss Love has sent a greeting card! Thank God, she finally reached!"

Mr. Baudouin's hand trembled, and the coffee almost fell on him.Mrs. Baudouin glanced at him jealously and complainingly, Mr. Baudouin laughed loudly, put his arms around his wife and kissed her on the face: "Madam! Aren't you also anxiously waiting for your idol? Charlie, show me the greeting card!"

Madame Baudouin took the letter before him, read it at a glance, handed it to her husband, and said in a singing tone of joy: "I will write to the ladies now! Our future Here comes the star!" After kissing her husband, she left the restaurant holding up the hem of her skirt.Mr. Baudouin smiled sweetly looking at his wife whom he had spent more than [-] years with. "Give me the pen and paper, and I'll write a letter right away to meet Miss Ai at the warehouse in the eastern suburbs!" he ordered.

"Wait, let Armand drive the carriage to pick her up in person!"

After a quick change of clothes, Mr. Baudouin rode his horse and ran to the eastern suburbs of Paris.The printing factory is built by the river in the eastern suburbs, and the warehouse is also nearby. Few people know that this place is entirely his property.When he rode to the warehouse office, Jane Eyre hadn't arrived yet. He ordered the workers to take him to the warehouse to check the inventory. The books here would soon be sent to various libraries and bookstores.

When Jane Eyre arrived, the warehouse was full of excitement.

Large cardboard boxes have been piled up to the ceiling, and workers wear gloves, counting the goods.I thought that I would talk face-to-face with Mr. Baudouin in the office just like when I was in London, but I didn't expect that the coachman Armand took her directly to the inside of the warehouse.

"Mr. Baudouin! Miss Eyre is here!" Armand shouted, there was no foothold inside, Jane Eyre's dress was clean and white, and he dared not let Miss Eyre step into this chaotic scene.

Jane Eyre saw the man in the black suit turn his head back. His gaze was sharper than an eagle's. His body was thin and his arms were tightly wrapped. His muscles were well defined, but the corners of his mouth were raised unintentionally, and the smile he showed showed him good mood.Jane Eyre also smiled, and holding the corner of her skirt, she stepped across the gap of the big box and stretched out her hand to him.

"Mr. Baudouin, meeting for the first time."

Mr. Baudouin looked at the slender hand in front of him, and was taken aback for a moment, but he quickly controlled his expression and shook hands with her: "Miss Ai, it's the first time we meet, and I have known you for a long time!" Although this lady looked very weak, But her hands and eyes were equally strong and strong.

"I've known you, sir. You're such an eclectic fellow that I never thought you'd be willing to publish my work . . . I had a hard time in London."

"Hmph! Rigid Cockney!" Mr. Baudouin snorted coldly, "You are the real eclectic, Miss Love. Come with me, the warehouse is too messy, I asked the supervisor to prepare it in the office Tea."

"Oh!" Jane Eyre nodded, and looked at the big box that was opened underground, "These are..."

"That's right, Miss Love! These are your works!" Mr. Baudouin bent down, took out a brand new book from a box, and handed it to her, "It happened suddenly, the salon is about to be held , I didn’t have time to send you a sample booklet, so I took the initiative to print the first batch.”

Jane Eyre took the book with a cinnamon-colored cover, stroked it lightly, and there was a mist in her eyes.This book is not very thick, just the thickness of a finger, and the title of the book "Escape from the Abyss" and her name——Jane Eyre are printed in bronzing letters.She opened the book, and the smell of ink came to her face.It didn't smell good, but Jane Eyre felt that it was more attractive than any perfume or food.

She silently followed Mr. Baudouin, across the somewhat chaotic warehouse, to the other side.Mr. Baudouin opened a door, and Lilith followed Jane Eyre into it.

This is Mr. Baudouin's temporary office, which is like another small warehouse, full of sample books.The floor was not tidy either, with waste paper and old newspapers piled up.

"Since the Revolution, I've been looking for a breakthrough, Miss Eyre." Mr. Baudouin took his place and smoked a cigar, "Oh! Sorry, mind if I smoke a cigarette Do you?" Jane Eyre shook her head: "Please."

He lit the cigar, didn't smoke it, just looked at the fire on top of it: "The old nobles are still enjoying the glory, and they don't see that the life of the people in the eastern suburbs has long been very different from before. Men and women walked into the factory to make a living, but They are confused. Miss Eyre, of course romanticism and classicism are beautiful, whether it is literature or art. However, Paris now needs a kind of modernity even more!"

His tone was extraordinarily calm, as if these words had already been drafted several times in his mind.

"What I like is the rebellion in the heroine of "Escape from the Abyss". She came from a humble background, was imprisoned, and was treated unfairly, but she bravely broke the inner and outer shackles and used her own hands—— Instead of the shadow of the family, a new life has opened up. She will be accepted by everyone!" Mr. Baudouin waved the cigar on his hand, and the orange-red flame flashed across the air, "Miss Love, we have caught up with the good times! "

The author has something to say: the timeline is probably the first half of the 19th century.The French Revolution is over, and it is time for the old and the new to change.
