[Emma] Becoming Jane Fairfax

It snowed all night and didn't stop until dawn, but there still seemed to be small snowflakes floating in the air. The other courtyard on the mountain was colder than the one below. Lance was worried that there was not enough wood in the other courtyard, so he transported the timber from the bottom of the mountain up the mountain early in the morning. When they arrived, Wei Lai and Mrs. Campbell had already gone out.

Colonel Campbell received him as warmly as yesterday, but it was different, alienated and polite in the warmth.Lance has been dealing with his father in the mall since he was a child, and he is good at observing words and deeds. He clearly feels the changes in Colonel Campbell, but he doesn't care.After sitting for an hour, only Mrs. Campbell came back, and Lance said goodbye to the couple.

Although it was past ten o'clock in the morning, it was still dark. Lance borrowed an oil lamp from Colonel Campbell, not for himself, but for Jane.

Wei Lai held the hem of the skirt in one hand and closed the front of the skirt with the other. Breathing white air, he walked step by step towards the man carrying the lantern, "Is Mr. Amedeo going down the mountain?"

Lance nodded

, took a few steps forward, and Frank Churchill behind her hadn't left yet. The two looked at each other very quickly, and Lance asked, "Is that Mr. Frank Churchill?"

Wei Lai turned around, and Frank had already turned and walked down the mountain, "Yes, Mr. Churchill accompanied his uncle to visit friends in Bath. I think Mrs. Churchill's death has hit them too hard. Let's leave the sad place and come out to relax."

Lance stood on the hillside for a long time, and Frank Churchill could clearly see the expressions of Frank Churchill and Jane when they were talking. Speaking of which, this was not the first time he had encountered Jane and Frank alone, and the first time he had seen them together. When he came out of the apple grove one after another, he just thought it was interesting at the moment, and he forgot all about it when he got out of Highbury, and he didn't worry about it at all, but now that he has selfish intentions, he can't be calm.

It was the first time for him to experience this kind of complicated mood, because it was the first time, he had no experience, and had no way to deal with it, so he could only press it down forcibly, so as not to scare her with his complicated emotions.He had a face that was so serious when he wasn't smiling, and he looked even more serious now.

The two walked for a while, but no one spoke except for the sound of the snow under their feet and the creaking of the oil lamp.

Their personalities are a bit boring, Lance is adjusting his emotions, Wei Lai is organizing his words, and they are about to go to the other courtyard, they stop at the same time, just look at each other, and they know that the other party has something to say.

"Mr. Amedeo, I don't want to pretend I don't know anything. I guess you have found out a long time ago that Mr. Churchill and I had a relationship and managed to hide it from everyone, but now the relationship It's over. Mr. Amedeo is a decent man, sure of the behavior..."

"It's not your fault." Lance said sincerely, "I used to think that Mr. Churchill liked Miss Woodhouse, he showed his attention to Miss Woodhouse all the time, and anyone who saw it thought they were a couple, but now Come on, he is using Miss Woodhouse to cover up his feelings for you. Maybe he has his difficulties, but this behavior is very shameless! He hurt you and Miss Woodhouse, in order to realize his own interests, Disregard your feelings and reputation. However, I have to admire Mr. Churchill's luck, 23 years old, most men at this age can't choose a wife for themselves well, but he met you, what a lucky bastard .”

"You seem to envy him."

"I do envy him." Lance decided to express his heart at this moment. "He has received all your love. Miss Fairfax, you are a reasonable person. I can see from your novels that you understand me. Why did I come from London? Of course, it is for you. My answer will not surprise you. I know there are many factors in my life that make you difficult. I wanted to deal with everything before expressing my heart to you. Be the second Frank Churchill, give you promises you can't keep before everything is in doubt."

People's emotions are very real. He is only polite and alienated to Miss Kingsley. He would not be able to say these words even if he was killed. up.

Lance couldn't talk to Jane like he did when he was discussing business in the mall. He became clumsy and couldn't express his love in words. If he loved less, he might say more.

It's not the first time Wei Lai has been confessed, but this time the situation is very different. From the first sentence he said, her face was so red that she was about to burn. She pulled the collar of her coat and pulled her face inward. Shut up, eyes blinking uncontrollably.

I planned to think about it last night, but I was so tired that I fell asleep as soon as I touched the pillow, and I haven't had time to think about it yet.She grew up listening to the sound of her parents swearing at each other and throwing things. After her parents divorced, various families kicked her around like a broken ball. No one wanted her. This had a great impact on her.

When I was a child, I thought more than once that when she grows up and gets married, she must live a life different from her parents, so that her children will not experience such a life. Therefore, she believes that Frank is not a good match, so she insists on canceling the engagement. Is that Lance? ?

This era is no better than later generations. If you can't survive, you will leave, and you will not be condemned by the society. If you can't survive, what should you do?Reason told her not to think badly, but she couldn't control her emotions.

"Can you give me some time, I have to think about it." Wei Lai didn't have time to think clearly, but he probably knew that as long as he nodded, he was going to get married.

"Okay." It was snowing again, Lance hesitated, reached out and gently brushed the snowflakes on her shoulders, "I'll take you home."

Walking to the gate of the other courtyard, Wei Lai was about to say goodbye to him. Colonel Campbell suddenly opened the door and came out, greeted Lance with a smile on his face, and when he turned his head, he sternly asked Wei Lai to come in.

Wei Lai laughed secretly, Colonel Campbell really looked like a father who caught his daughter who was in junior high school secretly having a relationship with a bastard.

Colonel Campbell has already decided to move out of the other house and go back to the small hotel tomorrow, and he has already thought about the reasons-the house is very windy, and Mrs. Campbell has a headache.He was ready to offend Lance and cut off the relationship between Jane and him. If he watched Jane continue to fall, he would be sorry for Fairfax.

As soon as Colonel Campbell said his decision, Wei Lai nodded in agreement, without any reluctance.Her attitude was so good that the Colonel had nothing to say.

"...Although this other courtyard is much better than a small hotel, the wind is too strong, which is not good for anyone."

"That's why we should move out earlier, for the sake of my wife's health." The attitude was very sincere, without even mentioning Amedeo's name.

Colonel Campbell would like to add a few more words, gently reminding her not to get too close to Lance, but after all, she is not her own daughter, and some things are inconvenient to say, for fear of hurting her self-esteem, after thinking about it, she changed the subject: "Madam, tell me all the money left to you by your father and Mr. Owen."

Wei Lai nodded.

Colonel Campbell's generation

It is rare for Zizi to be so uncomfortable, "Back then, the money was for emergency. I failed to invest and owed a large debt. If I don't pay it off as soon as possible, the family's life will be lost. I hope you can understand. But I did not think carefully. I discussed with my wife, and we decided to return you the money and the [-] pounds you earned. With this money, you don’t have to be a tutor, and you don’t have to worry about life. With a poor life, we feel at ease."

Wei Lai sat on the sofa firmly, without any excitement, which made the colonel feel much more comfortable.

Wei Lai has already figured it out, it's an unaccountable account, and she doesn't plan to settle it one by one, no matter what the real Jane will do when she finds out, she is Jane Fairfax now, and she wants to Make decisions that are good for you and give you peace of mind.

"Colonel, I don't want this money, and I won't be a tutor. I have a job that can support me." Whenever there is a little difficulty in survival, she will not be so "high-spirited".

Colonel Campbell returned to the room and repeated Wei Lai's words to his wife. Mrs. Campbell patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief: "After all, she is a good girl we cultivated with all my heart. I believe she is not a cold and heartless person I'm really overjoyed, I feel like I'm all right. When I get back to London I'll have to find a good home for her, and she's worth £50 a year for her qualities."

"You don't need to look for a job as a governess." Colonel Campbell didn't tell his wife about Jane's job, and he couldn't accept it himself.

Mrs. Campbell understood it as another meaning: "That's fine, she can live at home as long as she wants."

Colonel Campbell sighed, got up suddenly and went out: "I will write a letter to Alice."

The next day, Wei Lai and the Campbell couple moved back to the small hotel from the other courtyard. Colonel Campbell apologized to Lance with the reason he had thought up. Lance knew it well and pretended to If he didn't know, he said that he didn't think carefully, which made Colonel Campbell even more ashamed.

Mrs. Campbell was originally suffering from a heart disease, but now that her heart has fallen to the ground, she immediately regains her spirits.

Wei Lai accompanied her up the mountain to soak in the hot spring again. This time, she waited outside instead of going down the pool, and met Frank and Mr. Green unexpectedly.

Sure enough, it was Alvin's agent, the Green she knew, but the two tacitly pretended to meet for the first time, and they didn't know each other.

Two days later, Wei Lai and the Campbell couple left Bath and returned to London.

She caught up with Miss Johnson and Mr. Scott's engagement banquet, and soon, another happy news came.

Wei Lai received a letter from Miss Bates—"...Recently there have been many happy events in Highbury. Mrs. Elton is pregnant, and Mr. Elton is very happy. This is the first time we have seen our dear pastor lose his composure. . . . and there is one more thing, which no one expects, my dear Jane, which I am sure will surprise you too, that Miss Woodhouse and Mr. Knightley are to be engaged!"

The author has something to say: I will take a break tomorrow and will not update.

In other words, I seem to have made some progress in writing emotional dramas. Although it was still difficult to give birth, it was delivered anyway.
