[Comprehensive Classics] Different Jane

When Mrs. Wood was young, she also resented why she was a woman and why women were born to be humbled.In the process of growing up, she learned to hide herself. After marriage, she also did some ridiculous things under the rules.Now that I am older, looking back on the past, I still seem to be a little emotional, but Mrs. Wood knows that some thoughts in her heart have not disappeared, so she promised Charles to help Jane.

Before they met, Mrs. Wood admired Miss Jane Bennet very much. She thought Jane was a little girl with ideas and courage.

At first Mrs. Wood just thought, ah, let this little girl have more fun before she finds out about the darkness of society.But after half a year of booming Hogwarts, Mrs. Wood didn't think so.

After meeting herself, Mrs. Wood found that Jane was a sober girl. She knew what she wanted, what she was doing, and the consequences of failure.Even so, she still managed the store, which is doing well and intends to continue to do so.In this regard, Mrs. Wood admires Jane very much—although she is only a girl in her teens—so Mrs. Wood is also willing to pay attention to Jane’s opinions and suggestions, and is willing to help her when she encounters problems.

Being a sober woman in this era is sometimes not an easy task, but Jane Bennet doesn't think it is such a heavy thing, even though she knows how unfair this society is to women, she still thinks that doing Keeping a clear head for women is a matter of course.

She carefully tested the bottom line of the society's tolerance for women, and tactfully passed the line. In fact, she has cleverly used the rules to push the bottom line down again, and she may not even realize it.

Mrs. Wood, who didn't know what kind of experience Jane had, felt that such gentleness was just right and very smart. She believed that no matter what kind of life in the future, Jane would have a good life, and she preferred to believe that Jane would have a relationship with other women. A different future.

And now Jane wants her sister to join her... Mrs. Wood is not sure if the other Miss Bennets know what her sister expects of them, but if Jane has this idea, Mrs. Wood is willing to help help her.

"If I'm not mistaken, you hope that the two older girls can increase their knowledge, just like everyone's ladies? And the two younger girls should learn more knowledge before they grow up, and by the way, that's what you mean Right?" Mrs. Wood got it right.

Jane thought about it for a while, and it almost meant that.

"That's easy," said Mrs. Wood, smiling.

In the UK, there are always families with declining families and families with rising classes. Women who become poor want to survive, and women who become rich want not to be ridiculed. This creates a need.

Usually women's work is considered to be done by the lower class, so this kind of thing is not decent, but there are always some people who are willing to lower their self-esteem for more practical things.

Women with better conditions will open a training class for ladies, relying on word of mouth and friends to recruit female students.The advantage of this method is that the autonomy is relatively strong, the teacher can choose students, and if they can get recommendations from powerful people, they can also get a certain social status. The disadvantage is that the learning time of the students is limited, usually a few months to a year. Years or so, and no long-term guarantee of money sources.

Other women integrate into their new families with occupations such as housekeepers and tutors.These women usually give up their original surnames and identities incognito, and slowly teach the children in the family in a subtle way.The advantage of this method is that there is a long-term income, but the disadvantage is that it becomes a servant...

"Which one do you want? You can find it if you look for it," asked Mrs. Wood.

Jane thought about it, and asked tentatively: "Can I find a lady who will teach?" This refers to the short-term class.

The Bennet family doesn't need a tutor or a housekeeper, so if it's just a short-term class, Jane thinks she can still afford it...but you have to ask the price first (>﹏<.)

Mrs. Wood nodded. She thought so too. The Bennet family might not be able to afford another servant. It would be more cost-effective to hire a short-term teacher.

"I can ask for you," said Mrs. Wood.

"Is it convenient?" Jane asked worriedly.

"Of course, my dear, we can't eat your cakes for free."

"Mrs. Olivia! Look what you're talking about."

This matter cannot be rushed, and Jane has to discuss it with Mr. Bennet first, but she thinks this is a good thing, and Mr. Bennet should not object.

Before Mr. Bennet's reply came, Mycroft's Valentine's Day return gift had arrived. To be precise, it was himself.

"Long time no see, dear Jane, can I sit down?" One afternoon, Mycroft suddenly appeared in front of Jane.

"I'm not your dear...Mycroft? Why are you here?" Jane looked at the person sitting in front of her in surprise.

"Well... I have a vacation, so I want to visit you." Mycroft looked around and said, "It's cold outside, why don't we go inside?"

Jane stared at him for a full five seconds before agreeing.

The store was not full, and Mycroft led Jane to a seat by the window.Compared with the outside, the house is warm and full of sweet smell, it is a good place to relax.

I don’t know when Hogwarts seemed to agree that apart from men, couples also had a place. When Mycroft and Jane came in, there was a young couple sitting in the corner, so they didn’t attract other people’s attention. ...except Ben.

Ben was very surprised. He glanced at Mycroft and Jane, then lowered his head, glanced at them, and lowered his head again. After Mycroft and Jane sat down, he hurried over with the menu.

Mycroft was saying to Jane: "Oh, I've wanted to come here for a long time. The name of Hogwarts has been spread to London, and the dim sum here is very famous." He asked Ben: "Is there any recommended dim sum today?" ?”

Ben took one look at Jane and introduced, "Well, today there's fruitcake, almond waffles, snowflakes, donuts, and ham sandwiches, cheese sticks, and praline savory cookies. We also have Boxed snacks, sir, suitable for taking home to share with the family."

"The advertisement sounds really good, what boxed snacks do you have?" Mycroft asked curiously.

"Cookies, buttery and coffee, and meringues, sir," said Ben. "Cheese sticks, both salty and sweet, and sweets, cream balls, and fudge."

"Unexpectedly, please give me a cup of coffee, a donut, and a box of cookies to take away, um, two boxes, one for each of the two flavors."

"Okay, would Miss Bennet have anything else to order?"

"I'd like a cup of coffee with cream, please."

"Okay, just a moment, ma'am, sir."

Mycroft turned his head and saw Jane looking at him. "What?" he asked.

"You surprised him," said Jane.

"Are you complaining that I can't show up often? I really regret that I didn't invite you to London. It's better now." Mycroft regretted it every day.

"I don't care about that." Jane waved her hand indifferently.

At this time, Ben brought hot drinks and snacks, "Please take your time," he said.

"It looks delicious." Mycroft looked at the two mini donuts on the plate and sighed, "It's just a little small." No matter how he looked at the size of the two donuts... he seemed to be arguing Just for fun.

Jane rolled her eyes and said: "The size is very worthy of its price, and..." She glanced at Mycroft maliciously, "Eating too many sweets makes you fat, so it's better to control it. By the way, Are you a little fatter, Mycroft, than when I last saw you?"

"Nonsense, no, you read it wrong." Mycroft replied quickly, and then he took a sip of coffee in a concealed manner, and took a small bite of the donut.

"Excellent." Mycroft's eyes widened.This donut is the original flavor, soft and fluffy, and it seems to have a layer of crispy skin, which is very elastic in the mouth.A layer of white frosting is sprinkled on top to increase the sweetness, but it is not greasy at all, and I even want to eat a bite quickly.

"Can donuts be taken away?" Mycroft's upper lip was covered with white icing, and he stuck out his tongue and licked it like a child.

"Of course." Jane said with a smile.

"Before that, I want to have another one." Mycroft once again regretted the size of the donut, it was enough for two bites, how could it be enough to eat!

"Is France fun? The desserts there are also very famous. Which do you think you like better than my craft?" Jane twitched her eyebrows and asked jokingly.

Mycroft was stunned for a few seconds, maybe thinking, he put down the finger he was licking and asked Jane: "I'm pretty sure I haven't told anyone about this trip...how did you guess?"

"So you really traveled to France?" Jane said proudly, "You bought your scarf pin in France, right?"

Mycroft looked down and said annoyedly: "It is indeed. But how can you be sure that you bought it in France? It is also possible that I bought the French product in London."

"You don't know that." Jane gave Mycroft a look of "you are really an amateur", "It looks like a newly bought one, and the style is also French style. I just heard that this spring 'Honey Badger' It’s very popular in Paris, it’s not a common animal, and I don’t think it’s suitable elsewhere.”

Brother Pingtou is not someone who can live in HOLD.

Mycroft suddenly realized that he was not fashion sensitive, and he bought this just because he thought that using animal pins might make him look younger and lively.

"SO... Are you done with your work in France?" Jane asked again.

Mycroft's action of stuffing the second donut into his mouth suddenly stopped, he paused, and then continued to stuff the donut into his mouth, this one was a bit big, he chewed hard, Swallow, take another sip of coffee, swallow.

"I always thought I was quite smart, but now I can't figure out how you know this? Is there any clue in me that I haven't discovered by myself?" Mycroft said with a sigh.

"No, no, it's not you." Jane said with a smile, "It's Sherlock. He said you are a person who doesn't like to move." Sold, "If you could, you could sit in front of the fireplace and read a book all day without saying a word."

Mycroft... Mycroft wanted to touch his forehead.

Fallen leaves scattered all over my face, my brother's rebellion broke my heart~~~~~(>_<)~~~~

Mycroft's heart is probably a little broken. Is this the retribution of playing too much Sherlock before?He actually blacked me out in front of Jane!
