[Emma] Becoming Jane Fairfax

This hand is fair and clear, with slender fingers, and it is a beautiful hand.

But Wei Lai wanted to cry when he looked at this hand.

playing the piano...

She has to know it too.

Frank can invite Jane to play on such an important occasion, presumably he has confidence in Jane's ability, which means that Jane is a master piano.Although it's a pity that her body can't be read by her writing, and her martial arts can't defend herself, the five slags occupy her body, but the fact is that the current Jane can't know what she should know in this era.

Wei Lai didn't expect that the thing she had been worrying about would happen so soon, and to be brave would mean revealing her secrets. She couldn't say that she was sick and lost her memory, and she even forgot how to play the piano.She would definitely be considered mentally ill.

Wei Lai did not answer Frank's invitation for a long time, and there were small discussions around him.

Her heart was in her throat.

"Miss Fairfax?" Frank moved his hand forward again, and at the same time, his eyes conveyed to her the message of accepting the invitation quickly.

Wei Lai suddenly realized that Frank was laying the groundwork for making their engagement public in the future.If Jane had proved herself to be a gentle, virtuous and talented woman in front of everyone, especially in front of his family, maybe their private engagement would not have aroused so much criticism.

But she can't play the piano at all.

"Jane, what are you thinking, don't keep everyone waiting." Miss Bates nudged Wei Lai lightly with her elbow and reminded in a low voice. She was always happy to show her nephew's most beautiful side to the folks in Highbury. It was one of the few joys of the Bates family behind her, folks.

It seemed she couldn't escape.

A layer of cold sweat broke out on Wei Lai's back, he stood up slowly, put his hand on Frank's hand in a daze, his mind went blank.

Walking towards the piano step by step is like walking towards hell.

what to do?Her legs are weak.

Frank thought that Jane was afraid that others would find out about their affair, so he comforted in a low voice: "Don't worry, no one will see."

Is now the time to talk about love?You don't understand the pain in my heart at all.Wei Lai responded with a wry smile like Curator Jin.

"Everyone, it seems to be raining soon." Mr. Knightley, who had been silent after dinner, suddenly said, he stood by the window and pointed to the dark sky, "There are dark clouds in the sky, it should be raining soon. "

"Huh?" Someone among the guests made a panicked voice.

In the era of inconvenient transportation and expensive carriages, rain meant that travel was hindered, and people might not even be able to go home.All the guests gathered by the window and stretched their necks to look out, how could they be in the mood to listen to the piano music.

[This is... escaped? 】Wei Lai was still in shock, and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

A dark cloud stopped in the sky, and everyone panicked. Some people came to Landauer on foot. If it rains, they will suffer when they go home.

"Don't panic, everyone. Judging from the current weather, I don't think it will rain for a while." Although the news of rain may also make Emma worry, as the young lady of the Woodhouse family, she Don't mess around, "I have a carriage, and Mr. Knightley also has one. Mr. Weston's family also has an excellent carriage. If it really rains, I think three carriages will be able to take everyone home safely."

The people who came to the dinner tonight live in different parts of Highbury. It would take some effort to send them home one by one, and it would be tricky to send them first and second.Emma didn't think so much, she just wanted to calm down her anxiety and panic, but Mr. Knightley, who was named by her, had to think more thoughtfully.

"Our carriage can take everyone home, but I'm afraid it will be in the middle of the night. If it rains on the road and the road is muddy and slippery, the speed of the carriage must be slower. Instead of waiting until it rains and rushing home, How about we start now, what do you think?"

As soon as Knightley's words came out, everyone nodded in affirmation, only Mr. Weston showed a anxious expression.

Mr. Weston knew that it would rain. When the guests arrived, he found that it was raining for a while, but he didn't mention a word. He was afraid that they would be uneasy and anxious to go back. Then he made careful preparations. The dinner party went up in flames.He did not mind that the guests stayed at Landauer after the rain, especially the Knightleys, Miss Woodhouse, and Mr. Lance Amedeo.

However, it is obvious that Mr. Weston doesn't know much about this newly bought house, and his new wife knows much better than him. It is a big problem for so many people to stay-there is only one vacant house left in the house , can't let everyone squeeze into one room.

"Dear Jane, what should I do now? You are weak and can't get in the rain." Miss Bates held Wei Lai's hand tightly in panic, her palm was wet with sweat.

Wei Lai calmed her fragile nerves: "Don't worry, aunt, I'm fine. I agree with Miss Woodhouse. Looking at the weather, it won't rain for a while."

Anxiety spread among the guests, and everyone discussed without saying a word, but they couldn't come up with a practical solution.

Suddenly there was a sound of closing the door from outside.

Lance Amedeo walked in, and everyone looked at him in surprise, not knowing when he left.

"I just stood outside for a while. It hasn't rained yet. I think it won't rain for an hour. If people without a carriage have time to start now, if they are lucky, they won't encounter rain on the way." The second time someone suggested to leave immediately.

Emma looked at Mrs. Weston, hoping that her master would agree to the plan. Mrs. Weston looked at her husband, and Mr. Weston was extremely disappointed, but he had no choice but to agree.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but the tense nerves could not be relaxed immediately. Who knows when the unpredictable rain will come.Wei Lai helped Miss Bates outside and stood not far from Mr. Knightley's carriage. She didn't go immediately. She didn't know whether Mr. Knightley's carriage would carry his brother and Lance A. In that case, Mideo, she and Miss Bates will walk home.

When Mr. Knightley said that it was raining, Wei Lai guessed it. He must have sensed her embarrassment and specially helped her out.Wei Laisi hesitated for a while, but still swallowed the words of thanks. If she really thanked him, what should she say?Thank him for what?Then it is not clear.

The guests came out one after another. The Weston family sent out the two Knightley brothers, Emma and Lance. They stood at the door and talked for a while. The Weston family went in. Mr. Knightley saw standing in the corner Miss Bates and Jane in : "Sorry for keeping the two ladies waiting so long, please get in the car."

"Don't Mr. John Knightley and Mr. Lance Amedeo take a carriage?" Wei Lai asked.

Not far away, both John and Lance got on their horses, obviously intending to ride back.

Mr. Knightley turned around and waved to them, and said with a smile: "No, with Lance here, John won't ride in a carriage. They were teammates on the equestrian team when they were in college. Let them ride horses. If it rains , just in time to wash their hair. Ladies, please."

The three got into the carriage, and when Mr. Knightley was about to order the driver to start it, Emma's voice came from outside the carriage.Mr. Knightley opened the door. Emma didn't look at him, but looked directly at Jane: "Miss Fairfax, Mr. Knightley's carriage doesn't look big. The three of you are a bit crowded. I have a suggestion, how about You will ride with me and Harriet in the carriage, will you?"

Emma looked at Wei Lai with a smile on her face, she used interrogative sentences, but meant affirmative sentences.

Wei Lai was only 26 years old when she died. Although she was young, she had experienced many changes since she was a child. She was very sensitive to the changes around her.She could sense that Emma sincerely invited her to ride in the carriage, but why?Emma should not like Jane.

Immediately afterwards, she understood Emma's intention - Mr. Knightley.

Yes, Jane and Mr. Knightley shared a carriage, and there was nothing wrong with it, and even if Miss Bates was there, it would not be possible for them to see the green beans in the right way.

Understanding Emma's little children's thoughts, Wei Lai couldn't help but pursed his lips and laughed: "Thank you Miss Woodhouse for your kindness, you are so kind, it is my honor to share the carriage with Miss Woodhouse and Miss Smith, but , my aunt..." Her voice became vague as she spoke, fully expressing her difficulties.

Emma was taken aback for a moment, she had forgotten Miss Bates.Of course she didn't want to sit with Miss Bates, not even if her carriage could seat six people. With Miss Bates, would she still want ears?But the words have been spoken...

"Miss Fairfax, I have been friends with Miss Bates for many years. If you don't mind, let me take care of Miss Bates, okay?" Mr. Knightley is in favor of Emma and Jane getting more friends, He knew that Emma didn't like this peer who was better than him in every way since she was a child, and he didn't like Jane's demure personality. Now that Emma offered to make friends, he certainly wanted to help her.

"Jane, you go, I can take care of myself. Miss Woodhouse, thank you for your kindness, you are so kind." Miss Bates made a final decision, and being able to make good friends with the Woodhouse family is a wishful thing.

So Wei Lai and Emma got into the carriage behind them together.

The carriage was driving rapidly on the road, suddenly, there was a crackling sound on the roof of the carriage, and it started to rain.

The raindrops hit the car window one after another, and leaked in through the gap of the car window. In order not to wet their dresses, Emma and Harriet moved closer together, while Wei Lai sat motionless and stared out of the window in a daze, Thankfully she and Miss Bates did not walk home and avoid being drenched.

In Emma's eyes, her empty appearance is another kind of gesture - elegance.

Jane has an enviable beauty. In the past, Emma always felt that her fair cheeks lacked nutrition and blood, but now, the dark blue night sky and her fair face constituted a picture that people couldn't move away from. Jane's beauty Her grace and bearing made her elegant, and what Emma admired most was elegance.

Almost for a second, Emma decided not to hate Jane anymore.Thinking of Jane's beauty, situation and background, and thinking that Jane, who is living a good life with Colonel Campbell's family now, will fall from a high place one day, and her elegance will lose the soil for survival. Emma has nothing but sympathy for her.

Changing her attitude towards Jane, Emma took the initiative to break the silence between the three of them: "Miss Fairfax, last month my sister wrote to say that a glove from Paris is popular in London now, do you know?"

"Oh?" What the hell?

Wei Lai wanted to cry, but she was exhausted from the dinner party. She was almost dozed off by the swaying of the carriage, but now she had to answer with 12 points of energy, for fear of being inattentive. That's it.Emma has a sister and brother-in-law who live in London.

When Emma asked enthusiastically about Weymouth and the Dixon family, Wei Lai, who was tired of coping, had ten thousand beasts running past in his heart-my hen!

Emma and Harriet waited with wide-eyed anticipation for her answer.

Wei Lai stabilized his mind and made a hasty analysis. Weymouth should be a place name. The Dixon family must be related to Jane. Let's count them as friends. Since they are friends, praise is always right. .

But Emma was very dissatisfied. Just now she sympathized with her situation and future, and chatted with her kindly, but she faltered and concealed something.

【If you don't tell me, I won't know what happened between you and Mr. Dixon? 】Emma's gossip's little motor whirred.

The author has something to say: Emma is an imaginative girl.

Mr. Dixon is the husband of Colonel Campbell's daughter who bears Jane's living and education expenses. I will write about it later, but I will talk about it here first.

Jane went to Weymouth with the Campbells and got engaged to Frank there. When she wrote to Miss Bates, she mentioned the trip to Weymouth, and she almost fell into the water. Rescued by Mr. Dixon, that's all the information. After hearing the letter read by Miss Bates, Emma's brains widened, thinking that there was a love triangle between Jane, Miss Campbell and Mr. Dixon.
