[Comprehensive Classics] Different Jane

Jane took out the silk fan and tried opening and closing it a few times. The silk painting on the fan surface was ordinary, but the fan bones felt very special. There were natural lines on it, which looked like... ivory?

If these two fans are not worth thousands of gold, at least several hundred gold, the Count of Monte Cristo gave it away, which can be said to be very embarrassing.

"Do you like it?" the earl asked leisurely, taking a puff of his cigarette.

"I like it very, very, very much, you are so generous, Mr. Earl." Jane played with the silk fan, then covered half of her face, facing Mycroft winkwink, "Mycroft, I Does it look good?" Mycroft and the earl couldn't help laughing because the little girl looked playful and cute.

"Of course dear, there is no one more beautiful than you." Mycroft replied very politely.

Jane laughed and closed her fan, and suddenly felt a movement in her heart, this gift seemed to have a different meaning.

Although I don't know if this is the earl's original intention, but after Jane and Mycroft get married, sooner or later she will definitely join the upper class social circle in London.London has always been a snobbish place. If Jane doesn't have one or two high-end goods that can be sold, she will easily be belittled and rejected in London's upper-class social circle, especially since she was originally from a low-level family.

Jewelry is too conspicuous, and it is difficult to explain the origin if someone asks about it. Fans from the far east are very low-key, and Chinese products have always been very popular, which can be said to be low-key luxury.

If this was really the count's intention, he was very considerate.

The earl looked at the young couple, and felt rare happiness in his heart. On the one hand, the gift he had carefully selected was so loved, and on the other hand, the atmosphere between Mycroft and Jane was lively and intimate, which was unbearable. Can't help but rejoice.

The more Edmond Dantes suffers, the more the Count of Monte Cristo yearns for warmth. He loves the young couple Mycroft and Jane very much. I haven't seen the Earl's essence yet, and I still think he is a considerate and low-key person.

They chatted for a long time, and the earl invited Mycroft and Jane to have lunch together, and then he sent Mycroft and Jane back in his carriage.

The black slave Ali was driving the carriage, and Jane was a little excited.Even though this black slave was speechless and inconspicuous, he was the Earl's true confidant, and even played an important part in the Earl's revenge plan.

Jane was very satisfied with meeting idols this time. After returning to Gardner's house, she told Mr. Gardner and Mrs. Gardner about the result of the meeting, and showed two fans to the Gardner family. Everyone Knowing that Mycroft has a foreign godfather and is a generous rich man, but that's about it.

Unexpectedly, when Jane came back the next day, she saw Mr. Gardner and Mrs. Gardner, including other servants, gathered in the front hall. When they saw Jane, they all had strange expressions.

"What's the matter?" Jane asked as she untied her hat.

Glancing at Mrs. Gardner, the maid stepped forward to take the hat from Jane's hand and said, "Miss Bennet, go to your room and have a look. Just now a foreigner sent a lot of gifts, saying it was for you Yes, miss."

Mrs. Gardiner waved her hand and stepped back, "It was sent by the Count of Monte Cristo to his Indian servant." She hesitated, "He's still in the reception room."

Jane: ==?

"Auntie, can you please go and see with me?"

"Of course." Mrs. Gardner took Jane's hand and went to the reception room together. She also told Jane in a low voice, "Just now a black slave came with him in a carriage. He put down the gift and left first."

Jane was taken aback when she walked into the living room. Gift boxes, large and small, were piled up on the table, reaching to the roof.

Jane: =mouth=

What's the matter?Are these gifts from the Earl?

I didn't expect you to be this kind of earl!

The turbaned Indian manservant that Jane had seen once was sitting on the small bench cautiously, holding two long boxes tightly in his hands.

Seeing Jane, the servant immediately stood up and said in English with a strange accent: "Miss Bennet, my name is Lacherie, and I am sent by the Count of Monte Cristo to give you a gift." He quickly walked to the table Before, he took down a box and was about to speak, but Jane quickly stopped him.

"These." Jane shook her fingers, "These are all given to... me by the Earl?"

"...Yes, Miss Bennet." The servant held the box and wanted to continue, but Jane quickly stopped him.

"But why did he give me these gifts?" It wasn't just one or two, but a lot. Jane also saw a few very expensive brands, and she had a bad feeling in her heart.

"...I don't know, miss, the earl never explains, but no one will refuse his gift." Afraid that Jane would interrupt him for the third time, the valet quickly held up the box and said, "I have put the gifts away separately Well, here are scarves and shawls, both cashmere and silk. Here are some hats, the most fashionable in London now, and embroidery. Ah, and these little boxes are handkerchiefs, they are linen and muslin .These are gloves, long ones, short ones, lace ones, and you can change them if you don’t think they fit. And this one, these are hat pins. Earl said he wasn’t sure what you like, so he bought a few more... ..."

Finally, the manservant carefully picked up the two boxes he had been guarding, opened them and showed them to Jane.

Inside a box is a pearl necklace, with pearls half the size of the little finger twisted into two circles. In the middle of the string of pearls hangs a small silver hollow shell, and in the middle is a dark pink drop-shaped pearl.

Each pearl is carefully selected, round and even, and the color is also very beautiful. The whole necklace exudes a unique soft pearl light, as if a classical beauty is sitting there quietly.

In the other box is a diamond necklace. The whole necklace is composed of three rows of thin diamonds. The style is very simple, but the light of the diamonds is almost blinding. However, the more dazzling one is the one hanging on the necklace. Thumbnail-sized sky blue stone.

Mrs. Gardner looked like she was about to faint. She leaned on Jane and pinched Jane's arm unconsciously. Jane felt that her arm must be blue.

Jane also inevitably lost her mind, but she quickly and decisively reached out to cover the box. Without the temptation of jewels, Mrs. Gardner also regained her senses.

"I think the Earl must have made a mistake." Jane said firmly, "Please take all these back."

The servant showed a surprised expression, and then rejected Jane even more firmly, "No one can refuse the earl's gift, miss, I can't take them back, it's against the earl's order."

No matter what Jane said, the male servant always looked like "the wind is too strong and I can't hear you", "What are you talking about? My English is not good and I can't understand", then Shi Shiran threw down the expensive gifts in the room and left.

gone……

Up...

Jane: Are Indians so Buddhist? !what! (groundhog howl)

Mrs. Gardner was at a loss, and she said to Mr. Gardner: "These two necklaces alone are worth at least 50 pounds!" She especially wanted to ask Jane if she had overlooked something. Does the wife give such expensive jewelry?

Not five thousand, not fifty thousand, but half a million!Not a single necklace in their whole family is worth much!

"Jane?" Mr. Gardner didn't know anything about the Earl, so he could only ask Jane who had seen the Earl what was going on.

"Of course not, I'll go to Mycroft right away." Jane believed that the earl didn't mean to show off his wealth, but that ordinary things for him were already stressful for Jane.

Jane grabbed the necklace case and hopped into the carriage straight to Mycroft.

Mycroft soon understood what was the matter, and he and Jane sighed together, and said: "Don't worry, Jane, I'll tell the godfather."

"That would be great." Jane was really relieved.

Mycroft went to the earl with an expensive necklace. I don't know what he told the earl. The earl, who never took back the gift, finally kept the necklace, but he insisted on leaving other gifts for Jane.

The whole Gardner family breathed a sigh of relief, the feeling of being rich... makes me nervous~

At this time, Mrs. Gardner was in the mood to joke, "What a beautiful necklace, if I can have one, I will have no regrets."

"What are you talking about? How can you accept such an expensive gift for no reason." Mr. Gardner thinks it's better to be on the safe side. Who knows what these big shots will think, send some expensive jewelry when they like it, and wait for the truth. After accepting it, I might feel that Jane is a girl who loves vanity and is greedy for money.

"I'm just talking, right Jane?" Of course Mrs. Gardner knows the reason, but it's because she took it back that she can talk about it without any burden.

What Jane didn't actually tell her uncle and aunt was that the earl finally insisted that Mycroft accept the diamond necklace for Jane, saying it was a wedding present because he might not be there when Jane and Mycroft were married, and ... "It's not as expensive as you think. This is produced in my own diamond mine. Are you going to refuse me this little gift?" That's what the earl said, and Mycroft had to accept it on Jane's behalf up.

Within a few days, Mycroft told Jane that the earl had left England for France, and Jane guessed that he was already on the way of revenge.

Jane stayed in London for almost a month, and didn't return to Cambridge until her business in London was sorted out.Jane also published a missing person notice about Oliver in the "Times" after thinking for a long time, but she knew very well in her heart that it was really difficult to see him again.

In the fall, Jane went to London again, and this time she took Toby with her. After what happened to Oliver, she thought maybe Toby would also like to see her relatives.

Toby's biological father was cowardly. He abandoned Toby in order to marry a serious lady. After marriage, he refused to recognize Toby because his wife's family had a great influence on his future. He came as a guest of Mycroft's friend, and left a sum of money as the cost of taking care of Toby.Maybe he also wanted Toby to read or learn a trade, but in the end he said nothing.

The author has something to say: Servant: You want me to take the gift back, it’s so rude!
