Pride and Prejudice of Jane Eyre

Chapter 95 Melanie Rose

The moment Jane Eyre learned that she was invited to listen to the opera, three characters appeared in her mind - Hongmen Banquet.

Maybe it's because her nerves are too tense recently, and she thinks of the recent situation whenever there is any trouble.She didn't know why, but she felt an inexplicable uneasiness in her heart.In the middle of the night, unable to sleep, she tiptoedly opened the door of the room leading to the balcony, letting the moonlight and evening wind pour in.

Whether in England or France, whether in the countryside or in a city like Paris, the moon always soothes everyone with its cold and gentle hands fairly.Jane Eyre took a deep breath, and the fragrance of the last season of flowers passed into her nose faintly from under the window sill.Jane Eyre was restless and restless, she took off her shoes, and walked barefoot to the balcony corridor.

She flinched from the biting coolness coming from the ground, but soon got used to the temperature.She walked to the railing and leaned against it. From this angle, she could clearly see the moon in the sky without any shade from the branches.Looking further into the distance, you can still see the dark figures of other villas, sleeping silently on this flowery land.

Everything looks so peaceful and quiet.

But her mind kept circling what she saw during the day, the dilapidated hut of Camelia's family, the noisy orphanage, and the silent monastery.Since coming to France, she has always had a feeling of being torn apart.The peaceful and leisurely life in England seems to be in another world, but only in Paris, France, a Seine River splits her thoughts in two.One half was immersed in the joy and glory of the nobles and the rich, and the other half wept for the misery of the poor.

A gust of cold wind blew by, she shivered in shock, goosebumps appeared on her arms, and she sneezed again.

A blanket wrapped her up.

Jane Eyre turned her head, and Mr. Darcy walked behind her at some point, and the window leading to the balcony in his room was also wide open, and their room was right next door, sharing a balcony.

"You're so cold." Mr. Darcy hugged her waist behind her, and while wrapping her in a blanket, he touched her arm.

The warm air he exhaled touched her neck, and Jane Eyre couldn't help shivering again.

"I actually don't think the evening wind is very cold."

"nonsense!"

"The coolness in my heart is even worse, Mr. Darcy." Jane Eyre held his hand in front of her. His hand was warm and strong, "I always have a bad feeling."

"Are you worried about tomorrow's opera? No matter what, I can protect you and Georgiana, even if Paris is turned upside down." He promised, "You are the two most important people in my life to me."

Jane Eyre turned her face sideways, and her lips brushed against his cheek.Mr. Darcy's arms tightened, and he lowered his head to hold her tightly in his arms.Jane Eyre let go of her strength and let herself completely rely on him.Even the moonlight, as cold as water, shone on her body, and she felt gradually warmed up.Jane Eyre was thinking about tomorrow's plan. Judging from Mr. Baudouin's invitation, tomorrow will be the first day of the new opera performance.At this time, there was a new opera rehearsal, and I knew without thinking that it must have something to do with the recent situation.

A crow's cry came from a distance, and the fluttering wings caused the trembling of the branches.Jane Eyre woke up suddenly, and Mr. Darcy came back to his senses, pushed her gently, and urged her to go back to the room.But after taking two steps, he realized something was wrong, and looked down, and sure enough, she stepped on the ground with her bare feet, without making a sound.

Mr. Darcy frowned, and hugged Jane Eyre.Startled by the sudden movement, she threw her arms around his neck in panic to keep from falling.Mr. Darcy carried her firmly into her room, and gently put her on the bed under the cool moonlight.

"Relax and have a good dream." He lifted the velvet quilt and gently covered her body.He bent down, brushed his fingers over her curly and messy hair, the long black hair was scattered on the rose-colored velvet pillow, and he pressed a kiss on her forehead, "Good night, my..."

Early in the morning, Mr. Rochester came to visit.Mr. Darcy was planning to visit him, they keenly sensed the faint restlessness in the air, took the servants and rode to downtown Paris, and visited some people for deployment.Although Mr. Darcy lightly revealed this topic the night before, not wanting to worry Jane Eyre, but he didn't really believe in the security here.

If the confrontation breaks out, how will Jane Eyre, as the "instigator", deal with herself?Although the king and the old aristocrats were gradually declining, their enemies were not sure that they would be able to make a complete comeback with one hit.If——if the king succeeds, Jane Eyre will be No. 1 to be liquidated immediately.Charity is a good thing, but those old foxes will not be fooled by their simple blurred vision.

Despite the grim situation, Mr. Darcy is not an ordinary civilian. Although he does not have a title, Pemberley Manor and Thornfield Manor have great power in England.As Jane Eyre's "fiancé", of course he hopes that Paris will be safe, and she only needs to be a free writer.But as an Englishman—it's hard to say whether he would have other thoughts.Once the internal war in France is on fire, it will be good news for Britain.

Jane Eyre and Eugenie went to Camelia's shed during the day, and the doctor would come regularly to change the dressing.Camelia also had no idea when asked about her future plans. "I plan to find another job. I don't know how long it will take for my father to recover from his illness... The money in my hand and your kindness will not last for a month." Her tone was low, and she was washing pots and dishes in her hands. But it kept saying, "West End—I'm not going back. Father and Casper both need me, and the world of West End is like a giant beast that can easily swallow me up."

Jane Eyre watched her clean the shed, and she was proficient in lighting and cooking.She suppressed the grief in her heart and took on the burden of the whole family.When Eugenie and Jane Eyre left, they also happened to meet Casper who had returned from building firewood and waste paper. The holes in his clothes had been mended. Although they were still dirty, they didn’t look like they were old. That person is like a little beggar.

Camelia sent the two of them to the intersection, when Jane Eyre suddenly turned her head and said to her, "Would you like to work in an orphanage?"

Camelia was taken aback, then nodded slightly.

"That's a good idea! Jane. It's really difficult for Miss Robert and the dean to take care of the entire orphanage. If Miss Camelia is willing..."

"I am willing!" Camelia hurriedly picked up.Although the work in the orphanage was hard, the environment was simple, and she watched many children grow up.The orphanage is also close to home, and she will go home to take care of her father at a fixed time every day, "Thank you! Miss Eyre! Miss Grandet! My God, you not only helped me find a doctor, but you are even willing to introduce me Work...God will bless you for the rest of your life." Camelia was almost jumping with excitement, her voice trembling.

Jane Eyre and Eugenie smiled at each other, rejected Camelia and continued to send them off, and they took Nanon and Lilith to the orphanage.

They checked the children's accommodation and study today.Every two children share a bedroom, and the end of the aisle between the two rows of rooms is the bathroom.Although the children are naughty, under the supervision of Miss Robert, they are all clean. Although there is no extra decoration in the bedroom, it is also very tidy.The living conditions are not bad, but the learning conditions are relatively poor, because this is an orphanage, not a charity school, and the ability of the dean and Miss Robert can only teach some simple literacy in their spare time.

Jane Eyre mentioned Miss Camelia, and was pleasantly surprised to find that she and Miss Robert turned out to be old acquaintances.Miss Robert warmly welcomed Camelia's arrival: "The children need a teacher so much! Miss Eyre, Miss Grandet, you have solved our urgent need again!"

After inspecting the orphanage, Jane Eyre wanted to visit the nuns next door, but Lilith reminded her that they had to go back to wash and change clothes immediately.Eugenie told her that she had also received an invitation letter, and that she liked being quiet and didn't intend to go, but since Jane Eyre would go, she readily accepted the invitation.The group hurried back to the West District in a carriage and parted ways at the hotel entrance.

After Jane Eyre arrived at the residence, Mr. Darcy has not come back.After finishing dinner in a hurry with Georgiana, she returned to her room and changed into a red velvet dress and a small white plush shawl.Georgiana had also dressed up early, knocked on Jane Eyre's door, and the two went downstairs side by side. At the gate of the courtyard, Li Wen's carriage was also ready.But it was not until the clock struck six o'clock in the evening that Mr. Darcy appeared in a hurry.He was covered in dust, and his neat and clean clothes became a mess when he went out.He didn't have time to explain, so he went back to his room to change his clothes in three steps at a time.After a while, he went downstairs while fastening his cuff buttons.

"There was a little accident today, it's not a big problem." He looked at Jane Eyre's worried eyes, and said comfortingly, his hands kept moving, and he fastened the button deftly, "Let's go, it took a lot of time. "

Georgiana wanted to complain a few more words, but was stopped by Jane Eyre's eyes.Mr. Darcy looked very tired, but he was leaning on the back of the carriage with his eyes closed and dozed off, and he didn't want to talk about it. Of course, Jane Eyre respected his ideas.Georgiana didn't understand what happened, she was a little angry, she realized that her brother and Jane Eyre were both worried, but no one told her.She is still young and rarely participates in social activities, and now she is confused and angry.

The carriage left the residential area rich in green plants, and the two sides of the road gradually became lively. The houses in the row were well arranged and brightly lit.From time to time, you can still see military police patrolling the road with neat steps.Soon, the carriage came to a lively street, which was even more exaggerated than the salon that day. In front of a tall and resplendent building, there were countless carriages parked at a glance.The horses kicked the ground restlessly, and the grooms vigorously controlled their carriages and lined up in an orderly manner.

This picture is classic and interesting, but the taste makes people avoid it.

The three got out of the carriage, hurriedly stepped on dozens of steps from the gate, and arrived at the entrance of the theater.As soon as he stood still, a servant from the theater came to meet him.Mr. Darcy handed him the invitation, and the servant inspected it, smiled humbly and made a gesture of invitation.

"Guests in Box No. [-], please follow me."

"Box? I didn't expect Baudouin to be so generous." Jane Eyre was surprised. She picked up the invitation card and checked it carefully by candlelight, but found that it was indeed a hall. She looked at Mr. Darcy suspiciously, Seeing that he was also frowning, he obviously didn't know about this temporary change.

The servant did not answer, but still walked behind him, gesturing them to go upstairs.The theater was ornately repaired, and the wallpaper with large and large flowers was also sprinkled with gold dust, shining in the candlelight.The ground was covered with thick blankets, and the blunt soles of the boots stepped on it, making almost no noise.

Mr. Darcy surrounded Jane Eyre in his arms, and Georgiana leaned obediently beside her brother. She didn't understand what happened, but seeing the serious expressions of the two of them, she felt a little uneasy.

Rounding the wide winding staircase, they continued on, stopping at the eighth door.

"Duke Baptiste, they're here." Jane Eyre heard the servant say this.

The author has something to say: These two days will be updated every day, but the number of words is a bit small, and I have to move suddenly, so I am a bit busy.
