[Comprehensive Classics] Different Jane
Chapter 25
It was evening when Jane got on the train in London, and it was just after noon when she reached Longbourne.Mr. Bennet and Al have been waiting at the train station early on. Every time a train arrives, Mr. Bennet will personally ask where it comes from...Of course he knows when Jane’s train will arrive, but he is just worried about the train. will not be on time.
With the help of the conductor, Jane got off the train with the suitcase and books. She saw Mr. Bennet at a glance. The train station in a small place is not big.
"Daddy~!" Jane put the box on the ground and waved vigorously to Mr. Bennet.
"There she is." Mr. Bennet trotted forward, "Jane, Jane," he cried, "Thank God you're here at last." He held out his hand to Jane.
"Daddy!" Jane hugged Mr. Bennet excitedly, "I miss you so much."
"Me too, my little angel." Mr. Bennet hugged Jane, and if he could, he wanted to turn around twice.
As soon as Mr. Bennet put Jane down, she started asking questions like a cannonball: "How are you doing, Daddy? How is Mommy? How is the house? How are Elizabeth and the others? Oh, you never think , I bought gifts for each of you..."
Mr. Bennet interrupted in surprise, "A gift? You bought a gift?"
"Of course, my uncle and aunt also asked me to bring a gift back. Oh, hello, Al, I'm sorry I didn't take care of you for a while. Can you help me get my luggage? It may be a bit much."
"Of course, Miss Jane." Al raised his hat, and went back to the platform staff to get his luggage.
"Jane, how are you? You have worked hard in London, and you bought so many books? It's a little heavy, so you brought it back by yourself?" Mr. Bennet mentioned Jane's box and books upside down.
"Of course not Dad. Uncle sent me on the train all the time, and he asked me to bring you a letter." Jane and Mr. Bennet walked out together, and the two were still very affectionate and sticky.Until the carriage, Jane was still chattering like a little lark, telling Mr. Bennet what she saw in London.Mr. Bennet also listened seriously, not feeling bored at all.
Jane never confuses the reality with the novel. In the novel, Mr. Bennet is indifferent to the lives of his family members and only sneers when things happen. Mrs. Bennet is also short-sighted and regards finding a rich husband for her daughter as her life goal.Several Miss Bennet also have their own shortcomings: Jane is weak and introverted, Elizabeth is stubborn and narrow, Mary is mediocre and incompetent, Catherine has no goals in life and just follows the trend, let alone Lydia.
But in reality, in Jane's 13 years of life, Mr. Bennet has always loved and tolerated her. Even if she took her younger sisters to learn some courses other than music and painting, Mr. Bennet was very willing to provide support.
Not to mention Mrs. Bennet, although she is usually quite nagging, but when Jane and Elizabeth were young, Mrs. Bennet almost did everything by herself. Until the later sisters were born, Mrs. Bennet was too busy Only gradually let go.And the Bennet sisters usually have some small requests, such as wanting something to make a cake by themselves, and asking for a few dollars to buy some colored hair ribbons. Although Mrs. Bennet complained that they spent money, she would agree every time.
Elizabeth has a strong curiosity about all new things, Mary likes music and is very patient with her family, Catherine has average qualifications but perseveres in doing things, Lydia is a quick learner and very smart.
This is the family that Jane is willing to work hard for, and she will never let her family become like that in the book.
Back to Longborn, along the way, people in the village greeted Mr. Bennet and Jane. Everyone knew that Jane had been to her uncle's house in London for a month, and everyone was curious.
"They're back!" Elizabeth saw the carriage from the upstairs window early on. She yelled, lifted her skirt and ran downstairs quickly, "They're back, I saw them."
"Jane is back."
"Have they arrived yet?"
"God, Liz, did you see Jane bring a present?"
"Lydia, can you stop thinking about presents all day?"
"Why, Mary, of course Jane will bring me a present."
"I think she would care more about your homework."
"...you're such a disappointment, Mary."
"Okay, girls, stop arguing!"
Chatter chatter chatter chatter, the girl followed Mrs. Bennet to meet Jane outside the house.Seeing Jane jumping off the carriage, the girls immediately surrounded her like lambs.
"You're back, Jane."
"Is London fun?"
"How is Auntie?"
"And our little cousin, how is he?"
"You must have seen a lot in London, Jane, and tell us about it."
"simple……"
"simple……"
Jane felt as if she had fallen into a beehive, buzzing.
"Okay, okay, everyone, everyone!" Jane raised her hand to keep everyone quiet, "I will definitely satisfy all of you—someone's curiosity, but now, I think you will be more grateful for the gift I brought back. interested."
"AH!!!" the girls screamed together.Mrs. Bennet, who was standing nearby, had a look on her face. "My God, my girls are all wild girls," she said, and she couldn't help laughing herself.
The girls surrounded Jane, to be precise, surrounded by the gifts she brought back, and sat in the living room excitedly.Mrs. Bennet was disdainful, but she crowded beside Jane, and Mr. Bennet was also standing behind Jane's sofa.
"Okay, okay, this is a hat, Lydia. It is definitely the most popular style in London. I have seen with my own eyes that many little girls have a hat of this color." Jane gave the top box to Lydia .Lydia unwrapped it at once, and with a merry exclamation she put it back on for all to see.
"This is yours, Catherine, use it with care." Jane handed a long box to Catherine, and Catherine opened her mouth wide enough to stuff an egg in.
"My God, it's so beautiful." Catherine took a pen out of the box, but that's not the point, the point is that this pen has a very beautiful feather on it...it even shimmers in different lights come out in different colors.
"It is said that this is made of the feathers of a very rare bird from the far east." Jane was very satisfied with everyone's amazed eyes, "I hope this pen can give you the motivation to learn and let you Practice your handwriting well."
When Catherine heard it, her expression immediately changed from (*°▽°*) to ∑(°△°|||)︴
Everyone burst out laughing,
"Mary, I know you like the piano. Here are some piano etudes I found in the bookstore, Beethoven and Mozart, and this, Haydn, he was awarded an honorary doctorate of music by Oxford University..." Jane took out a thick A stack of sheet music.
"Oh, my God." Mary snatched it up and looked through it.
"..." Jane continued what she had just said, "Please don't mind that these are second-hand, I saw a lot of precautions and instructions written on them..."
"Of course I don't mind!" Mary interrupted Jane excitedly again, "God, Jane, this is what I want, if we just play it by ourselves and we don't know whether it's good or bad, it's precious if there are notes on it. "
"...Well, I'm glad you like it." Jane said dryly, because Mary was so excited that Jane didn't know what to say.
"Okay, next one." Jane clapped her hands, "Let me see, it's yours, Miss Elizabeth." She took out a new book, "This is yours, of course I bought other If you want to read the book, we can read it together."
"...Thank you." It is a book that teaches writing skills. Of course, Jane also likes it very much, but I have to say that compared to the gifts from other sisters, Elizabeth is still a little disappointed. She originally hoped to have A gift that made her even more excited.But when Elizabeth took the book, she saw Jane wink at her, which made her feel hopeful again.
"I also bought some small things, you can come to my room to look at them later, and you can choose a few you like." Jane announced, and the girls cheered again, "Okay, okay, now is the grand occasion A gift from Mommy and Daddy."
"Me, do we have it too?" Mrs. Bennet rubbed her hands expectantly.
"This is it." Jane took out two pieces of cloth from the bottom of the box, which was the heaviest piece of luggage in the box, "This is the most popular corduroy fabric in London now, I bought one piece for each of you, enough to make a whole set, I asked the clerk about it."
"Oh." Mrs. Bennet opened the fabric and touched it, and she said pleasantly, "It's so beautiful, so beautiful, soft and thick, with a particularly good luster, this color... I really can't say it, Meryton does not have it Cloth of this color."
"Of course." Jane said exaggeratedly, "In London, this is a popular color for noble gentlemen and wives, and Meryton dare not buy this kind of high-end goods. And I bought thick fabrics specially, and I can quickly make them for the winter ball." Wear it, and our parents will be amazed by the time."
"You child, we are all old men and old women, why should we surprise the audience?" Mrs. Bennet said something against her will, her eyes were almost stuck in the fabric.
"Actually, I wanted to buy a pipe for Daddy, but a good pipe is too expensive, so I bought some of this." Jane took out a small bag and gave it to Mr. Bennet.
"What is this?" Mr. Bennet took it and opened it, "Oh~" he showed an intoxicated expression.
"What is it? What is it?" Mrs. Bennet asked curiously.
"It's shredded tobacco. I don't understand it either. The clerk said that mint is added in it, so I don't cough when I smoke it, so I bought some for Dad." Jane said embarrassedly.
"It must be very expensive." Mrs. Bennet said distressedly, "Don't waste money on it next time, Mr. Bennet, you should smoke less, you know?"
"I will definitely smoke very sparingly." Mr. Bennet quickly put away the shredded tobacco.
"Jane, Jane, don't you still have a luggage bag? What's in it?" Lydia asked anxiously.
"My uncle asked me to bring it back. I think it should be regarded as a thank you gift. After all, I brought something with me when I went to London. By the way, he also asked me to bring a letter." Then Jane remembered, she asked Send a letter to Mr. Bennet, and say: "Let Mommy handle those things."
"Edward asked you to bring something back? How polite." Mrs. Bennet said with a smile.
"Okay, I'm going back to my room to change my clothes and rest for a while, you don't know, I can't sleep well on the train." Jane complained.
"That's right, go to sleep for a while and wake up just to eat dinner. Let's eat earlier today. Because you are back, we have good food today." Mrs. Bennet told Jane to go upstairs quickly.
The author has something to say: Jane: One woman is like five hundred ducks. Besides me and Daddy, there are five other women in my family...Desperate_(:з」∠)_
