Miss King in Pride and Prejudice

On the morning of the third day after departure, Mr. Jin and Serena arrived in Dover. The weather was clear, the sky was clear and pure blue, with some white clouds, and Mr. Jin’s grandparents arrived at the hotel where they stayed tonight , as the closest ferry between Britain and France, Dover has not yet formed a large town, but there are people coming and going, so it is very lively.

Serena is not interested in hotels or the local culture and scenery, she just wants to see the Dover Cliffs that her grandfather mentioned.The group sat down and had a cup of tea, Serena couldn't sit still, and kept looking at her grandfather with watery eyes.

"Grandfather is old, but he is not as energetic as you. You have to let me rest." Mr. Jin looked at his granddaughter who was about to move with a smile, and thought that the childish Serena was very cute and interesting.

"Understood, I'm not in a hurry..." If Serena hadn't dragged her tone and looked discouraged, it would still be very convincing.

"Why don't you go first and visit your grandfather later? I don't have the ability to accompany you to draw with my old bones, so I can just go and find you later." Mr. Jin saw that Serena was really looking forward to going. Looking at the Cliff of Dover, he had actually seen it more than once, so he suggested that Serena go first and call her back later.

"Is grandfather uncomfortable? The carriage is too bumpy or the legs are uncomfortable?" Serena grabbed Mr. Jin's clothes in surprise, and asked about Mr. Jin's body worriedly.

"I'm fine. Doctor Fang and the groom should be upset when you say that. Grandpa is a little tired. Although the Dover Cliff is magnificent, grandpa has seen it many times, so he doesn't want to move. You go to play first. Grandfather waits to tell you to come back for dinner, and take a look at our Miss Jin's masterpiece." Mr. Jin saw that his granddaughter was really anxious, so he quickly comforted and teased, expressing that he was fine.

"Is it really all right? Let Doctor Fang take a look. Grandpa doesn't need to call me anymore. I will take someone with me and let them remind me." Serena immediately ordered the maid to hand it over to Doctor Fang.

"Just take a look. I'm really fine. Although I'm not looking forward to it, I haven't seen that beautiful white cliff for many years. I still want to take the opportunity to ask you to take a walk on it." Mr. Jin She smiled and patted Serena's hand.

"Well then, if Doctor Fang says you're fine, you can take a rest and ask me to take a walk later." Serena agreed to Mr. Jin conditionally.

Dr. Fang soon came over, accompanied by Mrs. Fang, Mrs. Fang had no children, and her husband's apprentice and daughter-in-law were like their children. They were not around these two years, so Mrs. Fang gave all her maternal love to her. After seeing Serena, I heard that Serena called Dr. Fang over, thinking that Serena was feeling unwell again, so I hurriedly followed.

Serena asked Dr. Fang to feel the pulse of Mr. Jin. Only then did Mrs. Fang know that Serina was worried about her grandfather and did not walk away. She waited for Dr. Fang to talk about Mr. Jin's situation. Sun Liang's medicinal food.

"Mr. Jin is fine, just a little tired, but it's normal. Mr. Jin has been taking herbal diet, and he's in a good mood, so he's in good health. Ms. Jin doesn't have to worry." Explain the situation.

"Grandfather is recuperating well now, thanks to Dr. Fang and Mrs. Fang, thank you very much. If you have nothing to do later, come with me to see the famous local scenery." Serena invited Dr. Fang The couple went to the cliff to play together.

Dr. Fang and his wife have also lived in the UK for more than a year, and they are also willing to visit everywhere, and they both agreed to go together.

So the group of people split into two groups, and most of them rested in the hotel. Serena, Dr. Fang and his wife, a few maids and a few male servants took their painting tools and set off to the Dover Cliff by the sea.

The hotel is not far from the cliffs of Dover, and they arrived soon. Everyone moved together first, and walked around the edge of the cliff with uneven edges. Serena found a white cliff where she could see the beauty, You can see the angle of the blue beach under the cliff again, set up the painter and start painting.Mrs. Fang and his wife took a few glances at Serina's side, then walked away to take a closer look.

Serena concentrates on painting. The Cliff of Dover is different from the tranquility of the British inland countryside, and also different from the vitality of the forest. It is a contradictory and shocking beauty.The cliff is green with grass and vegetation. Through the edge of the cliff that sometimes protrudes and sometimes sags, you can see the snow-white cliff from time to time, which is in sharp contrast with the green on the cliff.

If you look at it from Serena's current point of view, there is even an astonishing beauty of contradictions and contrasts. Serena recorded her with a brush, the protruding cliffs, the towering cliffs, the waves of blue water below the cliffs, faintly You can also see the fine sand under the clear sea. Looking up along the straight snow-white cliff wall, you can see the uneven cliff edge. The green and white are clearly defined. Such sea water and cliffs are contained under the blue sky. , This is really a work of art of nature, completely beyond the reach of man.

Surprised by the beauty of the Dover Cliffs, Serena completed the first painting of the sky, cliffs and sea water in one go. The draft of the painting of the sky, as well as the composition of the draft of the cliff under the cliff and the straight cliff with part of the beach gradually exposed due to the low tide, and the sky with sunset glow in the evening.

After finishing one finished product and two drafts, Mr. Jin also came to find his granddaughter. Serena took Mr. Jin's arm and walked together on the cliffs of Dover in the warm sunset. Doctor Fang and his wife went back to the hotel together.

The beauty of the cliffs of Dover made Serena dream of her in her dreams. Serena dreamed that she was standing on the cliff and blowing the sea breeze, and she was standing on the edge of the cliff, looking at the sea and the sea in the distance Lan Tian suddenly heard the sound of someone stepping on the grass approaching behind her, she turned her head suddenly, and before she could see who it was, she was pushed off the cliff, she was not afraid, and let herself fall quickly, because against the light, she I couldn't see the black shadow that pushed her down. The falling speed was getting faster and stronger, and the wind was getting stronger. Serena felt more and more uneasy. She always felt that she was about to reach the bottom of the cliff. Sure enough, Serena felt Plunge yourself into the cold sea water.

Serena sat up from the bed at once, feeling her heart was beating so fast, she took a deep breath and exhaled to calm her rapid heartbeat.Recalling the cliff fall in her dream, Serena felt it was so clear and real. She looked at her pocket watch and found that it was only after 4:[-] in the morning, but she was no longer sleepy, so she simply got up from the bed, being careful not to wake up the maid outside.

Lighting a few candles on the candlestick, seeing the easel and the two drafts in the room, Serena put on a cloak over her nightgown, picked up the paintbrush, but did not continue to draw the two drafts, but Take out the canvas again and start to paint a new painting. It is still the snow-white cliff of Dover Cliff, but this time it is from the perspective of looking up. The cliff becomes taller, standing on the green grass above the snow-white cliff. Looking at a black figure, it can be seen vaguely that it is a human figure, and he seems to be looking at the falling green skirt woman.The woman in the green skirt is obviously falling, but she doesn't seem to be struggling. The sea breeze blows her skirt and messes her brown hair. You can't see her face clearly, but you think she is looking up at the top of the cliff.Below the cliff is the rough sea, and the waves hit the cliff, as if they want to make their own marks.

After finishing the painting in one breath, Serena thumped her already stiff shoulders. She heard the sound of people walking outside. She checked the time and found that it was already six o'clock. She called the maid in and washed up. Go down and have breakfast with Mr. Jin.

Letters from the two of them and documents from the Jin family were sent along with the breakfast. Serena received a reply from her friends. Serena ignored the breakfast and wanted to open the letter first, "Finally replied, I originally I thought I could receive it before departure, but it just arrived now.”

"Serina, you should eat first. We have to catch the boat after dinner. Even if we read it, we won't have time to reply. It won't be too late to read it on the boat." Mr. Jin stopped Serena.

"But it's already late to write the letter, so I have to reply quickly." Serena thought it would be better to reply to her friend's letter as soon as possible.

"It is estimated that we had already set off when the letter was delivered to London. We were late for various reasons when the letter was delivered. It is normal to miss it. Your friends all know it. Just explain the cause and effect in your reply letter." It’s over. Eat your food first, you don’t look very good.” Just as Serena is very concerned about Mr. Jin’s body, Mr. Jin is also very concerned about Serena’s physical condition, and he immediately discovered that Serena was pale complexion.

"Okay, I'll eat first, I didn't sleep enough, and I didn't even notice that my complexion was bad." Serena complained, but put away the letter in behavior, and obeyed her grandfather, eat breakfast first, and then the whole group Packed up and set off for the ferry.

Everyone boarded the boat on time and arrived at their rooms. As soon as Serena sat down, she took out the letter from her friend and opened it to read.The replies from the four people were all similar, and everyone expressed their surprise that Serena would suddenly go to Paris, France.Georgiana, Lilia and Caroline in Pemberley all expressed anger at Serena not returning to Pemberley. Serena smiled at her friends' complaints and worries about her body.Charlotte expressed support for Serena, but hoped that Serena would not stay in France for too long, she would miss Serena, and shared her life in Longborn, which looked happy at first glance.

Serena wrote back to the four respectively, saying that she was replying to them on the ship to France, explaining that their letter happened to be missed by her, so she received it late, and described the beautiful Dover Cliff.Because only one painting has been completed, Serena herself is very reluctant, but she still decides to send the painting to Pemberley together with the letters from the three of them, so that the three friends who are disappointed that she did not return have a look.A note was attached to the painting, explaining that the painting was only lent to them and they had to return it.After finishing writing, thinking of the expressions of the three of them seeing the note on the painting, Serena herself laughed.

After writing the letter, Serena walked out of the cabin and stood beside Mr. Jin. Mr. Jin heard the voice, turned his head, saw that it was Serena, turned back to look at the sea, and asked with a smile, "Have you finished writing the letter?"

Serena also imitated Mr. Jin leaning on the railing to look at the sea, and replied: "Well, after finishing writing, they all complained that I suddenly decided to go to France, especially Georgiana and Lilia, even Caroline also said me, grandfather , Am I overthinking whether it’s coming out or not?”

"Isn't it! But who made you my treasure, I will naturally listen to you, let alone go to France, even if you say you want to go to the Qing Dynasty, I will agree to go with your grandfather." Mr. Jin still Looking at the sea, he replied seriously.

"I wouldn't say that I'm going to the Qing Dynasty, it's so far away, my grandfather can't bear it, and my grandfather is also my treasure!" Serena said with a smile but always a little bit bitterly.

"Our grandparents and grandchildren are so nasty. Fortunately, there is no one else, otherwise we will be laughed at." Mr. Jin turned his head and nodded Serena's head.

Serena took Mr. Jin's arm, leaned her head on Mr. Jin's arm, and said with a smile, "I'm not afraid of being laughed at, grandpa, this is my first time going to France, right?"

"No. You have been to Paris when you were very young, but you must not remember it." Unexpectedly, Serena is also a person who has been abroad, although it is impossible for Serena to remember.

"Is that so...Grandfather, can we reach France before dinner? Georgiana and I wrote to them that I would reply to them in the Dover Strait, and that I would have breakfast in England in the morning and dinner in France in the evening." Seri Na was afraid that her grandfather would go to the past and be sad, so she didn't continue the previous topic, but talked about her reply to the letter.

"It's ok, is it okay for you to show off to your friends like this, they will continue to complain about you." Mr. Jin was amused by Serena.

"It would be nice to bring them some more gifts at that time, and it would be fun to see them complain in the letter." Serena would think of the funny expressions of her friends when she saw the complaint text in the letter, and felt that watching them complain was also fun. There is nothing wrong with that.

Serena and Mr. Jin had seafood lunch at noon, and then continued to chat on the plywood and watch the sea.Sure enough, she arrived in Calais, France before dinner, and Serena immediately asked for the letter and painting to be sent back.
