Pride and Prejudice of Jane Eyre

Jane Eyre cheered, opened the door, ordered Lilith to pack her luggage, and followed the crowd to the deck to watch the whole process of docking.As on the day of departure, the deck was packed with people.The first-class deck is fairly spacious, and you can still walk freely.But there is almost no gap on the deck of the third-class cabin. The young gold diggers climbed on the railing and shouted loudly, full of longing for the future life.

"We have done such stupid things before!" Mr. Briggs appeared by her side at some point, "Time really flies by in the blink of an eye. When I see them, I think of us in the past, maybe in the future. There will be a few of them who will become rich merchants!"

Jane Eyre held her breath and looked at the hot flashes in front of her, and nodded.Such ambition is easy to move at any time - most of them may die in a foreign country and never go back to see their loved ones, but now they never worry about it.

The speed of the ship slowed down more and more, and it was getting closer and closer to the coast.Mr. Briggs stopped Jane Eyre from continuing to step on the deck: "Wait a minute, it will be difficult for us to get off the ship smoothly. Now go back and pack up your things and be the first people to disembark. It’s especially easy to lose things at this time.”

"Thank you for your reminder, Mr. Briggs. Then, shall we meet at the gate of the first-class cabin?" Jane Eyre asked.

Mr. Briggs nodded, saluted her and turned back to his cabin.

Jane Eyre admired this aisle that had been walked hundreds of times for the last time, and the red carpet absorbed most of the footsteps.She walked alone in the aisle, barely making a sound.On the walls on both sides of the aisle are works from various painters, of course most of them are fakes for viewing only.The vase, which is changed every two days, has not been changed for the fifth day this time. The flowers all bow their heads and the petals are scattered around.

Jane Eyre is no stranger to such parting sorrow.

It wasn't until she walked into the room and saw Lilith hurriedly packing her luggage that she felt that this trip was not lonely.Although in the original book, the uncle generously left all the inheritance to Jane Eyre, it seems that he is just an npc responsible for "improving the heroine's survival weight", but now she is about to face a living old man and wise man ——He has come from poor and white to today, and he must have a unique personality charm and wisdom.

But she originally thought the trip was very simple, but before she left, she learned that her uncle and Mr. Briggs still had quarrels.She observed all the way, except for the man who approached Mr. Briggs with malicious intentions on the first day, he never spoke to any stranger again.He fell into a special atmosphere of sadness and nostalgia, which made Jane Eyre less vigilant towards him.Is there really something hidden in this?

There is also such a consideration in keeping Lilith.She is about to go to a strange place, and it is foreseeable that there will be many hidden dangers. Jane Eyre is a weak woman with no strength to restrain a chicken. Always inferior to others.In this case, a trusted "guard" is very important.

To her, Lilith knew the bottom line. Although she had made mistakes, when she thought about it carefully, she had never hurt any innocent people.In her love-killing relationship with Wickham, she is a victim who is forced to resist.Lilith's figure is not burly, even feminine, but her explosive power and endurance are also very good, which can be seen from the fact that she was able to seriously injure Wickham and survived the journey for more than two days without making any sound under the carriage .

And she was able to escape from supervision a few times - instead of worrying her, it made her feel more at ease.This is a woman with a wit of her own, not a marionette.Maybe when she encounters any problems in the future, she can also cooperate with her tacitly, cooperating internally and externally.

Lilith's admiration and trust in herself, as well as the handle of her experience, are all sharp weapons that Jane Eyre can use to contain her.

Lilith ended up walking up and down the room, muttering words, checking for omissions.Jane Eyre was amazed at her high efficiency, and she had almost packed up everything when she came back from wandering around on the deck.

"There is nothing missing! Miss Love." Lilith closed four or five boxes one by one, and placed them side by side at the door.Jane Eyre also inspected this room for the last time. All her own personal belongings were packed in a small suitcase—the notebook from Mr. Rochester, the handwritten poetry collection from Mr. Darcy, odds and ends of money, and the past. correspondence and small items from friends.

At this time, the ship shook, and there was a scream outside.Jane Eyre looked out, and found that the boat had broken down. It seemed that something had hit it, and it shook. A young man who was climbing on the fence lost his footing, and was hit by a person next to him, and fell into the sea——this person Eighty percent of them lost their lives!The crew whistled, but to no avail, the screams on the deck still couldn't stop.Several young people even got into a scuffle over this.

"Poor man!" Lilith sighed worriedly.

Mr. Briggs also came to knock on the door: "We are ready to disembark now! Oh, I see that your things have been packed, which is very good. Come on, let's go first...even the crew will block you later." Can't live with those crazy people."

He ordered the waiters behind him to load the luggage, and Jane Eyre followed behind them, passing through the first-class dining room, chess and card room, library, sauna room, and finally came to the lower floor.The steward of the ship had been waiting at the place where the stairs were about to be lowered. As soon as he saw them appear, he gave an order. With the hard work of the laborers, the long stairs were slowly lowered and placed on the shore. The crew climbed down the stairs and fixed the stairs to the posts on the shore.

Seeing them beckoning, Mr. Briggs finally took Jane Eyre down with confidence.

"I wish you a happy life on shore!" Mr. Steward saluted them farewell.

As soon as they set foot on the solid ground, both Jane Eyre and Lilith almost couldn't stand still in a trance.They were already used to the turbulence of the swaying on the shore, but they stepped on the ground and felt that it was shaking even more.Coupled with the scorching heat and sweltering heat in the tropics, Jane Eyre covered her head, and Mr. Briggs reached out to support her knowingly: "There will always be such a process, do you need to sit down first?"

Just as Jane Eyre was about to answer, she heard an excited boy in a beautiful carriage in the distance shouting "Mr. Briggs! Mr. Briggs! You are finally back!" He jumped up and down on the carriage, The action looked very dangerous, but he jumped on the horse's back skillfully, and drove the carriage to them.

"Little Wayne, this is Miss Jane Eyre! Hurry up and salute her!" Although Mr. Briggs' tone was commanding, it was not without intimacy. "This is the grandson of Old Wayne, Mr. Love's concierge. Little Wayne. He was brought up with the servants' children at the house."

Little Wayne tactfully gave Jane Eyre a deep gentleman's salute, and then took the box from the lady's hand in a familiar way, and put it into the carriage.

"Mr. Ai is waiting in the carriage on Second Avenue!" He introduced them, "Miss Ai, are you excited? Mr. Ai has been in such a hurry these days that he is about to send a boat to pick you up at sea." He scolded the sailors all over, saying that they really didn't work hard, and they were so many days late!"

"Mr. Eyre is always so short-tempered." Mr. Briggs smiled.

Jane Eyre also smiled: "Then let's go find him quickly! I can't wait to see my uncle! Is he in good health? Is his leg still hurting?" She asked little Wayne as she walked, Xiao Wei En naturally knows everything.

After Mr. Ai found out that he had found his niece, he happily mobilized the entire mansion, cleaned up and down, and the heir's bedroom next to the master bedroom has also been tidied up. Dutiful maids—they all speak English or French to take care of her daily life.Not only that, but Mr. Lu Sien, the butler, also hired a chef who is proficient in British cuisine. Mr. Ai was afraid that his niece would not be used to the food of the tropical island.

Just from the introduction of these others, Jane Eyre has deeply felt the uncle's love for her niece.Before they had time to be moved, the group of people took a carriage and passed through the lively dock street, turned around an alley, and entered another road with less people.At the end of the road, a luxurious carriage was already waiting there.

Jane Eyre was supported by Little Wayne and jumped out of the carriage, and saw that the opposite door was also opened. A middle-aged gentleman with a slightly fat body and a slightly beer belly got out of the carriage with his head bowed while supporting a civilized stick.He has gray curly hair and wears a hat.There was excitement on his face, and the wrinkles around his eyes showed that he was a man who laughed a lot.He was also wearing a gentleman's attire, but he was obviously not used to it. His sleeves were rolled up to his elbows.The first time they looked at each other, they were sure that the other party was their relative!

It was a strange feeling, even though one was fat and one was thin, one was a man and one was a woman, one was over fifty and the other hadn't hit the beginning of his 20s.But with the same smile arc on each other's face and [-]% similar appearance, they just stood face to face, making everyone around understand that these two must be relatives.

"My little Janet!" he called out, and the slightly hoarse voice made Jane Eyre's eyes turn red.Jane Eyre dropped the things in her hands, strode up to meet him, and kissed him face to face.

"Uncle, I finally see you! How are you?"

"Okay! It can't be better! Seeing my Janet, I will be cured of all ailments!" His black eyes were full of kindness, and he stroked Jane Eyre's hair. "Get in the car, this place is not as good as England The hot sun can easily damage the skin of ladies. At home, housekeeper Lu Sien has prepared lunch—it is lamb chops! You will definitely like it! It was your father's favorite once!"

Elderly people are prone to chatter, Jane Eyre helped him into the car, sat next to him, and patiently listened to his chatter.But I feel very ironic - this is the family affection that she has always regarded as a treasure in her previous life.Perhaps the blood relationship between her and Mr. Ai is really so strong that she felt "we are really relatives" when she met her for the first time.

She used to feel a little guilty about taking over the magpie's nest, but now she feels that this is her uncle!If it is the original Miss Love, there is no chance to have this emotion.But by accident, and by fate, she met her only relative.

Jane Eyre had no time to appreciate the magnificence of the Madeira Islands, and was talking with her uncle all the way.He eagerly inquired about Jane Eyre's life in the past ten years, and was furious at Mrs. Reed's abuse and deception: "Mrs. Reed's heart is so vicious! If you hadn't asked someone to come to me, maybe we would have lived together in this lifetime." I can't see you again! A person like her will definitely go to hell!"

He was saddened by the cruelty of the boarding school, but Jane Eyre felt that although the discipline there was very strict, the original owner did learn real skills there, and with these skills, he found a good job to support himself.

He thanked Mr. Rochester for his help: "I must thank this gentleman well. He really lives up to the reputation of his ancestors. He is a truly kind person!"

Jane Eyre really knew that if she didn't take the initiative to ask Mr. Rochester to help her find the whereabouts of her uncle, what she would get in the future would be nothing but news of eternal separation and a cold inheritance.But she still said to her uncle: "Don't talk about those ifs, uncle. Now that we know each other, this is the best result!"

"Alas! my poor Janet." Again he uttered an exclamation of pity.

"Uncle, my life is not difficult. Many kind people have helped me, so that I can stand in front of you safely and beautifully. I also have a maid, her name is Lila, you must have Saw her."

"Yes... I noticed, Janet. But I'm really not at ease with such a person around."

"Uncle, apart from you, she is the one I trust the most here! She will never dare to betray me."

"So, she has something in your hands?" Mr. Ai raised his voice.

"I don't want to appear too cunning, Uncle. But yes."

"Then I'm relieved, Janet. You're a kid with a plan, and I'm proud of you."

Talking all the way, even the journey does not look tired and long.When the carriage stopped, Mr. Ai still seemed unsatisfied. At this moment, Butler Lu Sien opened the door of the carriage. He had a standard British appearance, and the hair on his head was not too thick. He was wearing a standard butler's attire. All the buttons are fastened tightly.The first time she saw Jane Eyre, she showed an unprofessional but sincere smile, and stretched out her hand to help Jane Eyre get off the carriage.Then Jane Eyre turned around and helped her uncle up.Mr. John Eyre's hands were shaking with excitement, and he held the Civilization Staff tightly with his other hand so as not to look so embarrassed.

"Welcome home, Miss Love." Butler Lu Sien led them into the hall, and the servants stood neatly in two rows, saluting her.
