Jane Eyre and Mr. Darcy left the Dupont family with a lot of worries, and she left a little money, which was considered to be a visit to the patient.

The two went to the orphanage side by side.

She is very sympathetic to what happened to Camelia and is willing to help.But if we expand our horizons from that dilapidated shack to the whole of Paris, the whole of France and even the whole world, they are just a drop in the ocean of poor people.

Being poor cares themselves, being wealthy cares the world.For the first time, Jane Eyre deeply felt the helplessness in this sentence.

When she was at Thornfield, she was just a governess, and her efforts were just to support herself and make a living.Maybe some ambitious, hoping to change the world.But now, she has some money and influence, she no longer worries about survival, she can also help some people, just like Lilith - but her energy is still too small, she can save one person, but not the whole world.

Who can save the whole world?No.

"Mr. Darcy, I really don't know how to help them."

"They? Who do you mean?"

"Miss Camelia's family, they..."

"I can see, my dear, that they are not the source of your distress," interrupted Mr. Darcy.

Jane Eyre was dumbfounded.

Mr. Darcy stopped, put his hand on her shoulder, and turned her towards him.Her eyes couldn't get rid of the sadness and sorrow, and Mr. Darcy's gray blue eyes looked at her earnestly. The tolerance and tenderness inside made Jane Eyre at a loss.

"'Your compassion is incomparable, it warms my heart.'" He read the poem slowly again, "My dear, your kindness, compassion and tolerance once deeply moved a cold and proud heart. He understands your heart. You always want to help all the poor, but you are not the Virgin Mary, and you have never been obliged to sacrifice yourself to save them."

Jane Eyre didn't speak, of course she understood this, but after seeing such misery with her own eyes, it was hard to say that she could turn a blind eye.

"Do you still remember Lilith back then? Janet, she was prostrate at your feet and was willing to be your slave, but you rejected her."

"Yes, I don't need a marionette who has lost his soul to serve me."

"That's the point, dear. They're not puppets. They have thoughts of their own, and their thoughts influence their actions. Every individual tragedy, if there is a mistake in thinking, has a chance to avoid it. And already fell into the abyss They need not only a pair of hands to hold them up, but also the determination to climb up, or—” Mr. Darcy’s eloquent talk suddenly stopped, he frowned, and said in a strange tone, "That sounds like hope they can overthrow us."

Jane Eyre said "Ah—" and she understood what he meant.

"Das Kapital" gives the answer.

This topic is too grand to expand.Peasants, landlords, workers, factory owners, capitalists, nobles and royal families, these contradictions are inevitable and naturally exist.This is not a problem that can be solved by helping a worker, a farmer or a servant.

"Let's go, let's go to the orphanage." Mr. Darcy continued walking with his arms around her waist, "Your clever mind always thinks too much, and you have a lot of worries in vain. You should focus on the affairs around you. Grand Miss Tai sees clearly that funding orphanages and monasteries is indeed a great charity."

"Of course she is smart and calm, superior to me."

"That's not what I meant, my dear," explained Mr. Darcy hastily.

Jane Eyre smiled slightly: "I'm not angry either." That was her childhood idol and goal.

Before entering the orphanage, I heard the sound of children chasing and fighting, and a high-pitched female voice tried to maintain order.

"Little Hugo, get off the box! Andre, don't grab Julie's braids!--God! Carla! Get your skirts down! Don't you look girly anymore!"

Jane Eyre and Mr. Darcy laughed, and knocked on the door of the orphanage with the noisy voice.The door was unlocked, and it opened with a slight push.The inside fell silent in an instant, and a group of children with different expressions and wild postures looked here curiously.A woman in a long uniform skirt was holding on to a teaching stick, and with one hand on her hip, was teaching a shivering little boy.Jane Eyre could clearly see from the boy's eccentric glances that he was eccentric and pretending to be weak.

The lady also looked back here, she exclaimed, put down her teaching stick and walked over: "Is it Mr. Darcy and Miss Eyre?"

"Yes, hello." Jane Eyre curtseyed to her, Mr. Darcy nodded slightly, and took off his hat.

"I am Jeanne Robert, the teacher here. Miss Grandet and Mr. Rochester have already gone to the monastery next door, and I will guide you." She explained, and Jane Eyre saluted again to show her gratitude.Miss Robert turned back to the children, announcing that she was going away for a little while, and warning them to stop making trouble.The children nodded obediently, and Miss Robert ordered the older children to move the boxes and sacks from the hall to the warehouse together.

After she arranged everything, she closed the door and locked it from the outside. "Huh?" Jane Eyre looked at her suspiciously.

"The children don't know what's going on outside, they always want to run out to play. But where in Paris can they run around again." Miss Robert put the key in her skirt pocket, and took Jane Eyre and Mr. Darcy Go through the alley.

"In the past few days, there have been gendarmes running through the streets. Little Brian, the child I was disciplining just now, was almost trampled by a gendarme's horse a few days ago. He is so naughty! It really worries me."

"You must be a good teacher. It is not easy to discipline so many children. I have also been a teacher. To be honest, it is more tiring than any creation."

"Oh! Are you a teacher too? Miss Eyre." Miss Robert looked at her in surprise, "I thought you were a noble lady! No wonder you can write such works!"

"Have you read my book?"

"Yes, Mr. Baudouin came to donate a few books, and the children—especially the girls, like them very much!" Miss Robert asked curiously, "Is the painter in the story really a person who existed? ?”

"Of course not, Miss Robert."

Miss Robert showed a disappointed expression: "Yes, of course...how could there be such a woman? It is too difficult for women to survive in this world." She looked lonely and put her hands on the chest in front of her Under the apron, the head drooped, revealing a thin neck.

Jane Eyre guided and encouraged: "If a female reader reads my book and realizes to fight for herself, then "Escape from the Abyss" is considered valuable." Miss Robert took a deep breath and said nothing more What.

At this moment, they came to a hidden door, and Miss Robert knocked on it.Soon, rustling sounds came from inside, and the door creaked and slowly opened, revealing the face of an old mother-in-law.She narrowed her eyes and looked at the person in front of her. Miss Robert greeted her loudly and introduced the visitor.After making a series of gestures, the old woman nodded, slowly opened the latch behind the door, and opened the door.

Her back was so bent that it was almost at a right angle.Holding on to a cane, she wobbled towards the inside.The inside of the house was very dark, without any large windows, only a faint sunlight came in through a ventilated window on the top.Jane Eyre and Mr. Darcy squinted their eyes, and slowly got used to it for a long time before seeing the layout inside.

A huge dining table was placed in the middle, on which there were only a few plates with some potatoes and black bread, and there were only a few simple stools on the side of the table.On both sides of the gate, there were several bulging bags. From the outside, it seemed that this was the food they had brought from the countryside.Apart from this, there is no other decoration in this hall.

A group of people walked around the dining table quietly and went upstairs.Mr. Darcy held Jane Eyre's hand tightly, and everything here made him uncomfortable.

"Men were not allowed to come in." Miss Robert's voice lingered in the corridor, "Grandma Paulina said that Ms. Morgana only allowed you to come in for the sake of Miss Eyre and Miss Grandet. Women in the convent We have all heard the news and will not come out in the room."

"Excuse me." Mr. Darcy's voice also sounded in the corridor.

Then they fell into silence again, and they quickly reached the third floor. After turning a few turns, they came to a door, and Miss Grandet's voice could be faintly heard from inside.Miss Robert knocked on the door, and the sound inside stopped abruptly. After a while, footsteps came, and the door was opened.

Jane Eyre walked in and found that it was a small office. Ms. Mo Jiana, the abbot of the monastery, was wearing a long black dress and her hair was tightly wrapped.Miss Grandet and Mr. Rochester both smiled when they saw their friends, and after greeting each other politely, they all sat down.

"Mojane's mother agreed to your proposal, Jane." Eugenie said surprisingly.

Jane Eyre looked at the nun in surprise, and saw a stiff smile on her serious and old face—it was obvious that she didn't always smile.Mojana's mother's tone was calm and comfortable: "Yes, Miss Love. The nuns are willing to provide help and support. However, this is a place for cultivating Taoism after all, and there are some specific precautions that we need to discuss further."

"Of course." Jane Eyre expressed her understanding, "This is not a trivial matter."

After discussing for a long time, it was not until sunset that Jane Eyre and Eugenie got into the carriage and set foot on the way back.Mr. Rochester and Mr. Darcy rode ahead, talking to each other.The two ladies were drowsy in the carriage.The experience of this day is too rich, and both of them need to reorganize their thoughts.

Speechless all the way.

Li Wen first sent Miss Grandet back to the hotel, and Eugenie made an appointment with her to meet again tomorrow. Nanon and Eugenie, the master and the servant, stood at the door of the hotel, watching the group of people walking farther and farther, before turning back and entering. After leaving the hotel, when he was about to go upstairs, he heard hurried footsteps behind him.Eugenie turned her head and found that Mr. Rochester, who had bid farewell, was standing in front of her panting.

Jane Eyre returned to the residence, exhausted.Georgiana was sitting in the living room waiting. As soon as Jane Eyre and Mr. Darcy stepped into the door, she returned home on the sofa and held up an exquisite invitation card on the coffee table in front of her: "Mr. Baudouin sent Here comes the invitation card, inviting us to go to the opera house to listen to a play tomorrow!"

Mr. Darcy threw down his coat and hat, took the invitation card in her hand, and after roughly scanning it, he raised his eyebrows and looked at Jane Eyre who was taking off her wide hat: "Janet, what a show It's time to start."

The author has something to say: a short transitional chapter.After the update, I will continue to write. I can't guarantee that there may be a second update in the early morning.

You may not believe me when I say it, I checked the outline, and there are about [-] to [-] words left to finish.

Recently, the background is very pumping, there are very few comments, and the income is almost half due to the system, but I will still insist on writing this story satisfactorily and completely (although I am already exhausted and my brain is exhausted, I am really not a novice for long stories It can be easily controlled, woo woo woo).
