[Comprehensive Classics] Different Jane

Jane unconsciously knocked on the table, thinking of the story of "Pride and Prejudice", in fact, it is completely understandable why so many people object to the marriages of Jane and Bingley, Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy.

Jane found that she had walked into a misunderstanding. In her heart, she still thought that Elizabeth would marry Darcy. expect.

Now that I think about it, it doesn't seem necessary.

As far as the situation in the book is concerned, Darcy finally married Elizabeth, which shows that they are true love.Not to mention that Jane is very confident now. Judging from the current development of the Bennet family, Lydia may be spoiled like a lady, but it is absolutely impossible to be ignorant enough to elope with a man. Mrs. Bennet, who is a decent family, does not need to rely on her daughter's marriage to satisfy her vanity.

Apart from the difference in wealth, there seems to be no class difference between the Bennets and the Darcys.In this way, there seems to be no special obstacle between Elizabeth and Darcy, since they are still a couple in that situation in the book.

But what if Elizabeth doesn't consider marrying Darcy?Maybe it would be better that way.

To be honest, if this is the case, with the current learning progress of Miss Bennet, it is completely enough for the ladies of the country gentry family.

So why do you have to work so hard? ╮(╯▽╰)╭

Of course, if Elizabeth and Darcy still have fate in the future, that would be another matter. As an older sister, she would definitely support any choice of younger sister. She is a good older sister~

Jane sat on one side of the table to count the results, and the other four girls sat on the other side of the table tremblingly. ~~~~(>_<)~~~~

There are everyone's test scores on the table, as well as Jane's academic record that was put out because of the argument just now...the one with Mrs. Wood's signature.This is a report card that can make everyone ashamed. Just now Lydia argued that the test was too difficult, and the others secretly agreed. After Jane's report card was taken, everyone was speechless.

"It's really...to my surprise." Jane drew the grades into a column chart, and then turned it around to show to the younger sisters. The chart made the four girls lower their heads.

"Lydia, do you really want to continue studying these courses?" Jane put down the form and asked from the youngest sister.

Lydia wanted to say "No, I just want to play every day", but she couldn't.

"Catherine, do you think learning French would be useful to you?" Jane turned to Catherine.

Catherine looked around at the sisters and said, "I think I like cooking better."

"Cooking is not a decent job, Catherine, and housewives don't just know how to cook. Mary, have you thought about what to do in the future?" Jane asked again.

Mary opened her mouth, but finally bit her lower lip and said nothing.

"Liz, can you only do so much for your own ideals?" Jane finally asked Elizabeth, who originally had great expectations of her.

"I'm sorry, Jane, I'm not good enough." Elizabeth apologized very simply.

"No, it's me who should say I'm sorry." Jane said something unexpected, "I have always been too strict with you, but I know very well that Lydia doesn't like learning etiquette, and Catherine, you are not good at mathematics at all. Well, Mary too, Elizabeth... you're always willing to learn something new, but I know you don't think it's necessary to learn some things, do you?"

"Elizabeth, you are right. I hope that some of the things you learn are actually not necessary. After all, our family is just an ordinary squire. If your goal is to find a man to marry, there are many things that you don't need Learning, knowing how to make mashed potatoes and bread is enough. French, painting, music... These are actually things that only rich ladies and noble ladies need to be proficient in. Sorry, Catherine, I think mathematics is very useful, even if you marry a farmer in the future Need to use this too."

The girls giggled when they heard this.

"Learning is to increase knowledge and broaden horizons. It is to let you know that even a girl's life is not just about marriage."

"Maybe you will feel that some courses are useless to learn, and nothing is useless. Even if you don't need it in the future, everything you have learned will still become your experience, upbringing, temperament, conversation and vision."

"Of course, if any of you have already decided to find someone to marry in Longbourn or Meryton, that's it, like Lily Jean, or Maria Romm, then you can give up your studies, and take my previous words as my Never said that."

"Think about it carefully." After speaking, Jane stood up and left the restaurant, giving the other sisters a space to think about it.She walked out of the door and met Mr. Bennet and Mrs. Bennet who had been eavesdropping. The two obviously heard what Jane said, and they couldn't understand why Jane said that.

"Oh, my God, oh, my God, Mr. Bennet, I heard you right." Mrs. Bennet clutched her chest and looked out of breath, "Jane, what is Jane talking about?" ah?"

In the past few years, the Bennet family has long been used to Jane announcing random exams, monthly exams, and annual exams from time to time. Suddenly, Jane actually said that everyone loves to learn or not, and that they don’t need to take classes anymore. Banner Mrs. Te's first reaction was to think about whether Jane was stimulated a few days ago?Is it the Handcock boy?

"I'm going to talk to Jane." Mr. Bennet comforted his wife and said, "Don't worry, Jane definitely doesn't mean that." Mr. Bennet still has great confidence in his eldest daughter.

Mr. Bennet met his eldest daughter in his study, and the conversation was very agreeable, given the little secret they shared.

"I know you're a bit disappointed by the results of this test, but I still hope you'll be a little more patient with your sisters, they've always respected you. So what's the matter, Jane?" said Mr. Bennet .

Jane has a great say in the family because of her performance all the time, and Mr. Bennet also values ​​her opinion, so Mr. Bennet needs to know what happened.

"It's okay Dad, I'm just a little frustrated."

frustrated?Mr. Bennet couldn't think of this answer. He tentatively asked, "Is it because they did poorly in the exam? Or is there another reason?"

"Part of it, and part of it, I think, is that Mr. Handcock made me feel very negative."

Mr. Bennet can't think why, Handcock?What's wrong with him?Although he was admitted to university, he looked like a fool at first glance, but Mr. Bennet had seen him when he was a child, so he could still bear it. The point was that anyone with a discerning eye knew that he liked Jane.

"Handcock made me realize that most men in this world don't need women who are too smart, even if they are highly educated. Dad, I'm not sure whether it's good or bad for Liz and the others to study."

"Reading more books is never a bad thing, dear." Mr. Bennet said decisively, "I'm still alive, and it's not time for you to be responsible for the lives of my sisters."

Mr. Bennet thought it amusing that Jane would worry about such a thing, which is really what Jane would do.

"Well, there is one more thing." Now that Mr. Bennet said so, Jane was of course happy and relaxed, "I think everyone's study has encountered a bottleneck."

"Bottleneck?" The word gave Mr. Bennet a very delicate feeling. He chewed it in his heart for a while before asking Jane, "Why do you say that?"

"The effect of self-study is not very good. I don't think everyone is suitable. If my younger sisters still want to stick to the progress of learning, a teacher is essential."

Mr. Bennet thought for a while, the teacher is a problem, "But you don't have a teacher to teach, don't you learn very well?"

Jane rolled her eyes, "That's because I know what I'm learning. I need this knowledge and I'm willing to learn it. I guarantee that if you tell Lydia that you don't have to study or take exams for a week at Christmas, she will definitely Start counting your fingers now until next Christmas."

That's true, thought Mr. Bennet cheerfully.

"The important thing is that the way I taught Liz and Mary before is no longer suitable for Catherine and Lydia, and I don't think Liz and the others can control them."

It's quite worrying. Mr. Bennet has no good solution. Hiring a tutor is the best way, but it's obviously unrealistic. Sending them to school...the family doesn't have so much money, and it's not good to send girls to school In accordance with Longborn's habits.Jane had just settled down in Cambridge, and even if she wanted to come back, Mr. Bennet would not agree.

Well, if only Mrs. Bennet was a learned person, thought Mr. Bennet inappropriately.

"I really have no idea, Jane." Mr. Bennet could only bow his head to the cruel reality.

The father and daughter sighed for a while, but they were at odds and could only talk nonsense for a while. In fact, both of them had no good way to do it. They could only hope for everyone's self-awareness and the courage of Elizabeth and Mary.

Elizabeth is much more courageous than Jane thinks, she thinks that what Jane Bennet can do, Elizabeth Bennet can also do.

With an indomitable momentum, Elizabeth brought her three younger sisters to Jane to make a future study plan. Lydia didn't even have time to tell Jane that she was the one who didn't want to study.

Lydia: There was once an opportunity to eat, drink, and play foolishly before me, but I didn't have time... QAQ

Jane is still very relieved, don't think that there is a lot of time for youth, it has been five years since Jane realized where she is.It took Jane five years to give herself a chance to leave the small village of Longborn.

The author has something to say: Jane: The girls in our family can't live in ignorance.

Elizabeth: Jane can do it, and so can I!

Lydia: Have you considered my opinion and Catherine's! QAQ, I don’t want to take the exam~
