[Comprehensive Classics] Different Jane

Mrs. Bennet was completely unaware of what was happening at home. In her opinion, Jane was no longer angry, and the daughters were happy to learn things she couldn't understand together. The matter was solved. What's the problem?

Although Jane loves her mother, she must also admit that Mrs. Bennet is a typical model of the country gentleman's woman.

In the eyes of smart people, the life she lived was really uncomfortable, but only she could know whether she was happy or not. Mrs. Bennet thought she had a good life, but Jane didn't want herself and her sisters to live like this.

But, it's still the New Year, so it would be inhumane to start studying intensely right away.

Although I haven't reached the age to participate in the dance, but in addition to the dance, there are other New Year's events in the village. At least there are more opportunities for people of the same age to meet each other than usual.It is essential to compare and show off with each other. After a few times in the limelight, Lydia, who was still resistant to learning before, became willing.

The life at home is really comfortable, getting up every day to cook, read books, participate in social activities, and be a guest everywhere, Jane feels that she will be deeply involved in it and don't want to go back to Cambridge.

Of course, study time every morning is essential.While Jane was at home, Elizabeth and Mary asked her a lot of advice, and often the problems that they could not understand before racking their brains were easy to see clearly under Jane's gentle touch, just like the sun dispelling the fog the way forward.

Elizabeth reluctantly said, Well, in some ways, Jane is indeed smarter than her.

"Damn it!" Elizabeth vigorously stirred the pumpkin paste with sugar and eggs. Today they are going to make pumpkin pie, which is a new method that Jane "learned".

"Liz, don't use such force, it's all splashed out." Mary was making the pie crust aside, using butter, sugar, eggs, and flour to knead the dough, and it had to be cooled in a cool place before it could be set.

On the other side, Jane taught Catherine and Lydia how to make caramel. In the past, they both worked as assistants in the kitchen. Today, Jane taught the two of them to independently operate the entire production process from start to finish. This is what every Miss Bennet has to go through.

You don't have to be good at it, but you must be good at it, so that you can at least pretend to be when chatting with others.

Jane started to participate in the kitchen affairs when she was ten years old, and every Miss Bennet after that has followed this tradition very well. Elizabeth and Mary made egg and milk pudding back then, and now Catherine and Liddy Ya made milk sugar.

The production of milk candy is very simple. It is to mix cream, milk, sugar and rubber powder evenly, boil it over low heat until it becomes thick, cool it and shape it, and finally cut it into pieces.

For the two beginners, the important thing is that except for the rubber powder, the other proportions are free to mix, the time and process must be controlled by themselves, be careful not to burn yourself, and observe that they do not boil dry...

Seeing how easy it is for my sisters to do it, as long as they do their job well, they don’t care about everything. When it’s my turn to operate, I realize that simple things are not so simple. It’s just a few steps. Enough to be frustrating.

Jane stood by and watched with no intention of guiding or intervening. She stood here just to prevent the two little guys from burning the kitchen down.

Catherine spent more time in the kitchen, so it was easier for her to do it, while Lydia was much more flustered, and she yelled while doing it: "Oops, there is too much sugar! Why is there a lump? Ah! The fire is too big! Water, water, water."

Jane: So noisy... ==

The finished caramel needs time to solidify. Jian Ping ordered it, and seized the time to let them make another pot. This time, the two little girls made it more skillfully.The finished product was much better than the last pot. Jane praised the two of them, and then... asked them to make the third pot.

"Why do you still have to do it?" Lydia said impatiently.

Jane said to Lydia in a pitiful tone: "Hurry up and do it a few more times to be proficient, cherish the time I am still at home, dear Lydia, do you think that if you are alone, Mommy will be willing to let you stay here?" Is sugar and cream wasted here?"

Although sugar and butter are now much cheaper than in the past, Mrs. Bennet, who is in charge of the family's financial power, will never allow the girls to do whatever they want, even if they are already independent Elizabeth and Mary, the only one The only one who can make Mrs. Bennet hand over the key is Jane.

So Lydia didn't have the slightest intention to refute Jane's words, there was no way, she was only ten years old this year.

The UK has a temperate maritime climate. January and February are rare dry seasons of the year, and it is a good time to go out and socialize.

This year is cold, and it has snowed three times since Jane returned to Longbourn. The ground outside is always muddy, but Mrs. Bennet can't resist her desire to show off her daughter.She took her older daughters to visit and drink tea everywhere, and she also took the snacks that the daughters tried to go to church with other wives to see the orphans.

For a while the beautiful and capable Bennet daughters were the talk of Longbourne, and even Meryton.In particular, Jane showed a distinctive elegant and dignified demeanor and a friendly smile, so that the rumors that "the Bennet family sent their eldest daughter to work as a maid for an eccentric old lady" disappeared at once, replaced by "Bannet The Te family specially sent their daughter to study in order to let her marry a rich man” new rumors.

Jane: ... =-= Calm down.jpg

After Mary followed her once, she couldn't stand the environment of being judged by middle-aged and elderly gossip women, and she never went again. She might as well read at home.Elizabeth also wanted to follow Mary and stay at home, but Mrs. Bennet refused to let her go. After all, how boring is it to take Jane alone?Bring an extra beautiful daughter and show off twice.

Elizabeth: Please forgive me! _(:з)∠)_

Elizabeth especially admired Jane's calmness and ease in dealing with those stupid women.

"It's nothing, don't look down on others, as if you are the only one who can." What Jane said to Elizabeth in private is completely different from her kind attitude, "Take some time and energy to deal with them, and earn a little money." What's so bad about a good reputation, don't you think there's any good in a comment like 'high-minded and eccentric'?"

However, Elizabeth is different from Jane. She is a real little girl in the second year of middle school. She doesn't take Jane's words seriously, "People who are really worth dating will naturally know what kind of person I am. Those who only listen to others Why should I care about people who just draw conclusions at will if they are not worth dating at all.”

Speaking as if you could really do it, Jane laughed in her heart. Isn't the reason why Elizabeth will be prejudiced against Darcy in the future because she heard bad things about him?

"I hope you can do what you say in the future, but..." Jane patted Elizabeth on the shoulder and pressed hard, "No matter how you think others are stupid in private, I will not allow the 'Bennet family Our family has a reputation for being eccentric and misfits. Do you understand, Miss Elizabeth Bennet?"

Of course, Miss Elizabeth in the second grade couldn't understand Jane's intentions, but after a few days of awkwardness, she cooperated very well. Jane was very surprised, and Elizabeth replied her like this, "I thought about it, anyway. I will definitely have to do something out of the ordinary in the future, such as publishing a book or something. It’s okay to start building a good reputation now. In case a book fan comes to me in the future, it can’t be because of those people who are idle. Corrupted my image in the hearts of book fans."

simple:"……"

Emmmmm... It sounds okay and logical, but it's a bit far-fetched.

Jane considers herself to be young and just at the age of [-]... She is only one year older than Elizabeth, why can't she understand Elizabeth's brain circuit?

Unexpectedly, in the end Elizabeth became a well-known good girl in the Bennet family, and passed on her theories and experiences to other younger sisters.

Jane: Black Question Mark Face.jpg

Of course, the Bennet family can't just go in and out. Under the arrangement of Mrs. Bennet, the Bennet family also held several tea parties.Compared with Jane who hates trouble, the other Bennets prefer this feeling of being in their own home court, because many things that can be shown off are not convenient to carry around.

Jane's aunt and uncle Philip and his wife are always invited.Mrs. Philip was Mrs. Bennet's own sister, many years younger than her.The two families are very close because they live close together.

Mr. Gardiner, old, had been a solicitor at Meryton, and Mr. Philip was his secretary, after which Mr. Philip married his client's youngest daughter.After the old Mr. Gardiner died, Jane's uncle, Mr. Gardner, was not interested in being a small town lawyer. He went to London, and the position of Meryton lawyer was inherited by Mr. Philip.

Mr. Philip's hairstyle and hair volume are very British...you know...On the surface, Mr. Philip is a steady young man. In fact, he also likes lively occasions. He is well-informed and popular.

Every time Mrs. Bennet takes her daughters to Meryton, she likes to visit Philip's house, and she often invites Philip and his wife to Bennet's house for dinner.

Mrs. Philip, who had inherited the Gardners' beauty, was half a dozen like Mrs. Bennet, but much younger.Mrs. Philip married Mr. Philip and had no children for several years. Two years ago, she finally became pregnant and gave birth to a son. At that time, Mrs. Bennet was still depressed for a long time: she was the oldest and had the most three Gardner siblings, but none of them was a son. .

Jane stayed at home for a full month. Originally, her plan was not so long, but she found that although she had only been away for a few months, she seemed to be a little confused about the thoughts of her sisters.The four younger sisters account for more than half of the family's total population, and their thinking must not go astray.

When Jane was in a hurry, Mycroft sent his thank you gift from London: a large box of various books.This box of books also includes a lot of teaching materials, second-hand, with learning insights written in the blank space.This is really useful for self-taught people like Elizabeth and Mary.

Or how can I say that he is a smart person, and Jane discovered the problem by herself, and everyone gave the solution to her.

The gift from Mycroft also gave Jane new inspiration. She thought: if she still has the energy to think about things, that means there are less homework assignments.

So Jane designed a very detailed study schedule, detailed enough to stipulate the daily learning content and progress, of course, not so strict that it takes up the time for playing and being a guest, but it is enough for four girls to drink a pot.

Jane is indifferent to the wailing of her sisters, and her own life is equally fulfilling. There is no reason why she can do it, and other Miss Bennet can't.

The author has something to say: Elizabeth: I want to be a woman who is a great writer who gets autographed~
