[Comprehensive Classics] Different Jane

There is no phone these days, no matter how urgent you are, you still have to take your time, but the Holmes couple have a regular habit of coming to London to watch performances every month. They are opera lovers, and Mycroft is going there to meet Charles. talk.

It was morning when Elizabeth and Lydia arrived, on the same train that Jane had come to London on when she was thirteen.Jane made a lot of delicious food the day before, and prepared to treat her two younger sisters who came to her new house for the first time.

Jane and Nina called a carriage early, and the time was quite accurate. The train arrived not long after the two arrived at the train station.

Jane saw the door of the carriage in front, where Lydia jumped down with a grimace, and Elizabeth, who got out of the car behind her, also looked very bad.

What's going on here?Jane hurried forward.

Elizabeth took advantage of her height to see Jane from the steam around the train, "Jane~" she stood on tiptoe and waved her hand.Lydia heard and found Jane, and the three sisters successfully met and hugged each other.

"My God, I miss you so much, how are you all? How are Mom and Dad? How are Mary and Catherine? Oh, what happened in London last year was so serious that I dared not invite you to play, or you would have been here last year." I can come. Is the journey going smoothly? Are you tired?" Jane found that she really missed everyone, oops, I couldn't control my tears.

Unexpectedly, Elizabeth and Lydia didn't get Jane's tears at all. Hearing the last two sentences Jane asked them, Elizabeth and Lydia cried out in unison.

"Next time I won't take the train with her again."

The two looked at each other in surprise.

"You still have the nerve to talk about me!"

"simple!"

Ah~ I was so touched, I paid by mistake~

While slandering her, Jane neatly gave the two younger sisters a heads-up.

"Give me a break, both of you, are you going to throw your face in London? You, Elizabeth, you're 19 years old, are you a mature adult? And you, why are you laughing, Lydia, aren't you Do you miss the final exam at Christmas? This time I'll let you make it up."

"Who is the informer!" Lydia wailed.

Please rewind!What touches, what yearning, does not exist, I really want to throw the bear boy and the second-year girl on the train right now and send them back.

"Bonn, go and bring the luggage of the two ladies." Jane told Nina, "We'll wait for you at the front door."

"Okay." Nina immediately ran to find the staff at the station. She just saw one walking with her back to them, but she was in a hurry.

Only then did Elizabeth and Catherine notice Jane's maid.

"She is the maid you brought? Why is she so ugly?" Lydia blurted out.It's not that she said that it's okay to have a square face, pockmarked face and dark skin, and a white turban is wrapped around her head...it's really eye-catching.

Jane gave Lydia a moment, "Don't talk nonsense, can I choose my looks? Bonn is about your age, and I used to pretend to be a boy wandering on the street and suffered a lot. For some reason, I was helped by kind people That’s why I was recommended to come here.”

Elizabeth frowned, "I picked it up on the street? It's not that I look down on her, can she believe it? Why don't those who help her just keep her?"

"It was introduced by Mycroft. Bonn works very hard and studies quickly, but she eats a lot. I believe she is a trustworthy person." Jane spoke with confidence.

Jian Jian explained to the two younger sisters and taught them that the poor people these days are really poor, just like the women who work part-time in Jane's house, who work hard all year round until the average life expectancy is only in their thirties. Don't starve to death or freeze to death.

Jane thinks that she treats the two maids in the family absolutely first-class, and thinks that everyone in the family can feed and clothe the maids and get dirty?Most of them are harsh hostesses who take the opportunity to deduct money, so Jane is not worried about their loyalty at all. She has to think about it so much that she kicks you away and makes you eat all you can and give the host who makes clothes to go outside to drink northwest wind ?

Besides, servants like Belle and Nina had to get a letter of recommendation from the former master if they wanted to change jobs, otherwise they would not be able to find a good job.Who would want to work as an executive in the past but have to go to the construction site to move bricks because they couldn't get a recommendation letter?Therefore, there are some masters who have been withholding the recommendation letter because the servant does not want the other party to resign.

Of course, in Nina's situation, if it wasn't for the relationship between Oliver and Mycroft, Jian Jian would definitely not have found such a maid by herself.Since there was someone as a guarantor, Nina herself worked very hard and expressed that she wanted to stay, and Jane had nothing to disagree with.But there is no need to tell Elizabeth and Lydia about this.

Elizabeth and Lydia suddenly realized that they were taught.

"It's so troublesome to find a servant." Lydia wrinkled her nose and made a cute expression, "May is not so troublesome."

"Because Longbourn is a small place, everyone is familiar with each other, and the hired people can't escape even if they do something bad. They are all in the same village." Elizabeth thought it over, "London is a big city, just find a servant to steal at home." If you find something, you won’t be able to find it if you run away, so I need someone to introduce a reliable one.”

"Hmph, I don't need you to tell me." Lydia still remembered the quarrel.

Elizabeth gave her a blank stare, "I think it's because you have no chance to marry in London, of course you don't need to pay attention to this kind of thing." Before Lydia retorted, Elizabeth asked Jane again: "But I remember Uncle Gardner's house Didn’t you find your maid at a job agency? Such an agency should be reliable, right?”

"Reliability is not absolute. You have to work hard to know whether it is suitable or not. If it is a well-known institution, it will screen the servants introduced in advance according to your requirements, but generally speaking, it is recommended by acquaintances to be reliable. One point, if the servants from a respectable family with good family traditions have no major problems, they will know more. This is to find long-term servants, if you are only looking for short-term laborers, there are not so many requirements." Jane used to There are many ways to recruit people, and what I said at the moment is clear and logical.

"You care so much about how to recruit maids in London, are you planning to find a man to marry in London?" Lydia seized the opportunity to scold Elizabeth.

"Okay, shut up." The more she said, the more outrageous she became, and Jane quickly stopped the topic, "Don't talk about Bonn, let's talk about family affairs."

This topic is very safe. Speaking of it, Jane has not been back to Longbourne for a year, but according to Elizabeth and Lydia, Longbourn seems to have changed a lot.

Elizabeth: The old pastor Tom has officially retired, and the new pastor is getting used to him more and more. Daddy is still going fishing with Tom.

Lydia: Charlotte is still unmarried, and everybody says she's going to be an old maid.

Elizabeth: Catherine has made great progress. She has inherited Jane's hobbies. She likes cooking the most, but she likes eating more. ==

Lydia: Catherine's corset is tight and she's crying.

Elizabeth: Mummy is still the same.

Lydia: I hear there are "red uniforms" stationed at Meryton.

Chirp, chirp, do not pull.

In fact, Jane, who hadn't been home for a year, listened earnestly with a look of nostalgia, as if she had been away from home for ten or eight years.

The three sisters chatted and walked near the gate of the train station. Nina had already trotted to the other side to find the staff at the station, find her luggage, and go through the formalities.

Because Jane invited Elizabeth and Lydia to stay until the summer, they brought a lot of luggage, all kinds of dresses, shoes and hats, as well as special products brought by Mr. and Mrs. Bennet.

Nina gave a small worker some money and asked him to find a small car to take his luggage with him. She came to greet the three sisters, and they all walked out of the station together.

"This Bonn is quite capable," Elizabeth said fairly.

"It's just a little ugly..." Lydia might not be able to get over this hurdle.

It was drizzling outside again, Nina quickly found a carriage, and then ran to direct the coachman and the little worker to carry the luggage.

"I don't like the rain, it feels dirty." Elizabeth said to Jane while quickly stuffing herself into the carriage.Before getting into the carriage, Lydia couldn't help taking a deep breath with an intoxicated expression on her face.

"Ahem, London is different from what I thought. It's choking, ahem." Lydia sat down coughing, and looked at her with the same expression of "Are you an idiot" with Elizabeth.

It can be said that they are sisters.

"Have some brains, Lydia? Can you breathe soot at the train station without choking?" My sister is so stupid, and Elizabeth is speechless.

"Wipe the water with the handkerchief." Jane handed the handkerchief she had prepared to Lydia to wipe.

Yes, it's a silly QAQ.Lydia also noticed it. She silently took the handkerchief and wiped her clothes, then carefully wiped her hat.

"Don't wipe your face too hard~" Elizabeth said quietly, but it was too late, Lydia had already wiped the water off her face... Then she saw a black line on the handkerchief.

qaq

"Pfft." Elizabeth couldn't help laughing.

"Jane! Look at her!" Lydia said angrily.

"Okay, okay, stop making trouble, Liz is also kind." While Jane was speaking, Elizabeth turned her face away to reveal a black mark on her face.

"I only told you when I wiped it dirty. Who told you to move so fast, are you happy?" Elizabeth said with a smile.

"Huh~" Lydia had nothing to say this time, she acted like a baby to Jane, "Jane, Jane, wipe it for me~"

Jane couldn't do it, so she had to ask Lydia to poke her head over, "It's not very clean, so I can only go back and wash my face, but it's okay, it's not obvious." Then she wiped Jane's face too.

Outside, Nina watched the coachman and the little worker tie up all the luggage, and then told the coachman the address. She consciously raised her legs and wanted to sit next to the coachman in front.

Jane has been half-watching the outside, and when she saw this, she quickly stretched out her head and said, "Bonn, what are you doing? Come up quickly."

Oh, yes, I'm not a boy now, Nina reacted and put down her legs and climbed into the back compartment pretending nothing happened.

Lydia moved aside in disgust to make room.

"Wipe the water off your head and face, don't catch a cold." Jane said to Nina.

Nina took off the turban on her head and snorted her head. Her hair was very bright red. It was thick, hard and curly, like a small spring. It was not cut flat before, but now it is a little longer. Some, but still long and short.

"You, you, her, her hair!" Lydia exclaimed, she touched her hair in fear, and found that her hair was still in its original position, and she was relieved.

"You mean this? I couldn't comb it before, so I cut it off." Nina carelessly dried her hair with a scarf, then folded the wet scarf and took out a dry scarf from the large pocket of her apron, wrapping it skillfully on her head. superior.

Elizabeth and Lydia looked at Jane together, and Jane pretended not to see anything.

Looking at Nina up close is a bit... ugly, but for some reason, Lydia couldn't help but always wanted to turn her head and squint at her twice.But Nina is a rough nerve, completely unaware of Miss Bennet's curiosity about her.

Jane and Elizabeth sat across from each other and watched the whole process.
