[Comprehensive Classics] Different Jane

"Bag" cures all diseases, this is true, no woman can refuse the temptation of a beautiful bag.

Jane didn't have much thought about giving this gift, but she learned about Mrs. Milla's lessons and ideas through correspondence with Elizabeth and Mary in the past three months, which made Jane admire and yearn for Mrs. Milla very much.

Jane learns that Mrs. Milla is a beauty-loving person. Unfortunately, in the eyes of the world, Mrs. Milla is just an elderly widow who can't even wear nicer clothes.Jian Jian thought, if she gave Mrs. Mira a bag that was both versatile and a bit playful, she would definitely like it.

It was exactly as Jane thought.

Mrs. Mira took out her watch from her pocket and looked at it, "ah, it's almost time, it should be over." As soon as she finished speaking, Jane heard footsteps coming from the stairs outside the reception room and the voices of several girls, Soon two people walked over quickly.

"Jane~ ah ah ah ~~ Mrs. Mira!" The voice changed from happy to frightened, and the expression was probably reddish purple.

Elizabeth/Mary: ~(￣▽￣)~~→Σ(°△°|||)︴

Jane: =￣ω￣=

"Miss Elizabeth, Miss Mary." Mrs. Mira instantly turned into the face of the dean, "How about your manners? Fortunately, there are no outsiders here, otherwise I am really worried that I may not be able to recruit students in the future." She turned her head and said gently Say to Jane: "Sorry, Miss Bennet, please believe this is not the true level of my teaching."

The corner of Jane's mouth twitched, "Yes, of course I believe that they look very different from three months ago."

This is true, and it can be seen from the demeanor of this little meeting that Elizabeth and Mary are really quite different.

Mrs. Mira nodded secretly. In her job, she is most afraid that parents will not be able to understand it. It was originally a crash course for correcting bad habits. You are still afraid of suffering, afraid of this or that, and just give up. How comfortable is it? Isn’t it better?Why bother with training.

"Ladies, what are you standing here for? Why don't you go and get your luggage?" Mrs. Mira turned to Elizabeth and Mary again as the dean, "It's still a long way back to the city. You have to leave early."

"Yes, Mrs. Milla, good Mrs. Milla." Elizabeth and Mary suppressed the thought of turning around and running, and walked upstairs with elegant steps, while walking, they heard Mrs. Milla saying to Jane: " A friend of mine who likes to hold dances holds several dances every winter, I wonder if Miss Bennet is interested in attending?"

Elizabeth and Mary: QAQ Differential treatment should not be too obvious!

Jane didn't know that the two younger sisters were listening outside, and she could only say no to Mrs. Mira's invitation.

"Oh, my God, I'm so honored to receive such an invitation." Jane is also a small showman today, she clutched her chest with regret, "I can't imagine that I would miss such an invitation ...But I can only regretfully refuse, Mrs. Mira, my fiancé will come to visit my parents at home this winter vacation, so I have to go home."

Mrs. Mira was a little surprised, probably because she felt that Jane already had a fiancé at such a young age, "It's really a pity, but there will be opportunities in the future."

"exactly."

Elizabeth and Mary came downstairs with their suitcases, and Jane said goodbye. When she left, she saw a few well-dressed girls hiding upstairs and looking down secretly. It was really cute and interesting.

Mrs. Mira sent them to the door, and Elizabeth and Mary also said goodbye to Mrs. Mira politely. They got into the carriage and watched the villa gradually go away until they could not see it... Elizabeth and Mary suddenly collapsed on their seats. At the same time, he complained loudly.

"Tut tsk, look at you two, what does this look like." Jane shook her head and said.

"Oh, Jane, you have no idea what kind of life we ​​have been living these three months." Mary changed several positions, which were uncomfortable, and finally sat upright.

"Of course I know, you have complained many times in your letters." Jane said with a smile.

In the previous correspondence, Jane already knew the schedule of Elizabeth and Mary, and it was indeed very hard.The girls in the class get up at five o'clock every day, have an hour to freshen up and have breakfast, and then have an hour for a walk.

The summer sun comes out very early, but there is still deep dew on the grass and bushes by the roadside, which wets the girls' skirts and shoes, so they have half an hour to change their clothes after they come back, and then every day 07:30 to 09:30 uninterrupted posture practice.However, the content of the exercises is very diverse, such as walking, sitting upright, saluting, and even exercises on facial expressions and hand movements.

The next half hour of tea time is a bit early, but it is a precious rest time for the young ladies who have been exercising all morning. Although it is a bit annoying to have Mrs. Mira watching everyone's demeanor at any time, I am tired all morning. , everyone wants to sit on the chair in the most comfortable position, but Mrs. Milla still insists on testing everyone's perseverance every day.

The next hour is reading time, which is the most advantageous time for Elizabeth and Mary. Before that, they had no idea that there are people who live so long and have never read with a pen.Elizabeth and Mary have been used to the good learning atmosphere of Bennet's home since they were young, but at this time they discovered that "illiteracy" is the normal state of most people, and "knowledge" is a precious wealth.

This hour basically became the time for Elizabeth and Mary to read books to other girls. Soon Mary, who was originally uneasy because of her clothes, became calm, and other girls who secretly despised Elizabeth and Mary also envied her. The two can read the contents of the book fluently.

All have to take a lesson in how to speak before lunch.It was also the first time for these young girls to know that, also in English, the pronunciation, intonation, severity, and sentence breaks of upper-class people all have special meanings.

When to say something, when to pretend to be stupid, when to show one's own attitude...there are inexplicable knowledge.

The art of language is extensive and profound. Everyone has their own small circle. Some words that are inconvenient to express will form code words. If you can’t understand the code words spoken by others, you will be rejected or even laughed at. These code words can change almost at any time. , so you have to find the entry point.

This class is the essence of what Mrs. Mira really wants to teach the students, but how much she can really understand depends on one's understanding... But she doesn't know that Elizabeth and Mary will secretly write notes from memory during lunch break every day. The sisters will also exchange thoughts with each other. ︿(￣︶￣)︿

After lunch, Mrs. Mira stipulated that after a short rest, everyone must take a walk to digest and then take a nap. The reason is that in order to keep in shape, sleeping when you are full is a taboo to keep in shape.

The two-hour study in the afternoon is relatively loose. Mrs. Mira requires each girl to develop a hobby, so the afternoon classes are usually painting, music, dancing, and even horse riding and jewelry appreciation.

Of course it’s more than that. During the painting class, Mrs. Mira will elaborate on the famous works, painters, and styles of the past dynasties, and what are the popular contemporary painters; Mozart, Bach, Schubert; during dance lessons, Mrs. Milla would talk about gossip and celebrities in the social circle, and also give advice on how to use small props; while riding a horse, Mrs. Milla would talk about horse scriptures and horse racing rules, jewelry appreciation Mrs. Mira will also tell you some world-famous jewels and their little stories...

It can be said that the afternoon class is the favorite of all the girls, and sometimes they are a little apprehensive: Do all ladies in the upper class have to know so much?

Mrs. Milla: Oh, not quite. (￣-￣)

After the course, there will be an hour of free time, followed by dinner and a firm evening walk. At nine o'clock, everyone goes to bed on time to prepare for tomorrow's early rise.

After Jane learned this from the letter, she was a little envious. Mrs. Mira was very experienced, and the course arrangement was compact and reasonable. Get a pass to high society...but that's about it.

But it's really amazing... Jane looked at Elizabeth and Mary who were sitting opposite, they had already unconsciously sat up straight, and unconsciously assumed a natural sitting posture.

Although the journey was a bit long, Elizabeth and Mary had a lot to say to Jane. How could they write all the words after sending so few letters?So along the way, Elizabeth and Mary were not too thirsty.They talked so amusingly that Jane thought it was very amusing.

Elizabeth paused, and suddenly asked Jane: "Actually, I have never understood, Jane, why did Daddy send Mary and me to study here? I think the tuition must not be cheap, right? Could it be... he also told Mommy, Want us to find a wealthy son-in-law?"

In fact, Elizabeth had thought about this question a long time ago, but the excitement of being able to leave home to study elsewhere overwhelmed her doubts.In the past three months, she occasionally thought of this question, sending her two daughters to other places just to learn how to be a lady?This is not Mr. Bennet's style.

Elizabeth knew that Jane must have contributed to this, and she had asked Jane why in the letter, but after all, it was nothing compared to a face-to-face inquiry.

"Liz! Daddy definitely doesn't think so." Mary cried.

Elizabeth was silent, she knew that Daddy definitely didn't think so, it was she who couldn't figure it out.

"This is my idea." Jane said simply.

"Huh?" Mary really didn't think about it, "You mean you, you told Dad to send us here?"

"Well, I did tell Daddy that," said Jane, "I didn't know Daddy would let you come, but I don't think it has anything to do with who you marry in the future, Liz. Learning makes you smarter, more elegant, more knowledgeable, but not for others, but for yourself to be happier and more confident. Oh, well, if you have to have a reason, I think you learn this At least if you can't get married in the future, you can support yourself as a teacher like Mrs. Mira."

Elizabeth sounded like she was before, but what the hell is the last sentence! "I won't!" she screamed.

"Ahahahaha..." Mary laughed.

The three of them made a fuss in the carriage, and even the coachman sitting in the front had to remind the three ladies in a loud voice, "Please sit in your seat, ladies, you are going to scare my horse."

The three of them quickly sat upright, pretending to be fine.

The author has something to say: Mrs. Mira: My soul is scared to death. It would be bad if people think that I taught it. (~￣▽￣)～
