Pride and Prejudice Becoming Jane Bennet

When Jane Bennet opened her eyes, she had a feeling of not knowing what year it was.She stared at the delicately carved ceiling in front of her for a while, before she realized that it was time to go downstairs for breakfast.

She is now visiting at the Weston's.Mrs. Weston was Miss Ludwig's governess when she was Miss Ludwig. She came to Bennet House after the birth of Jane's youngest sister, and lived there for fifteen years, teaching the Bennet family. Five sisters grow up.Compared with Mrs. Bennet, who used her neurasthenia as an excuse whenever she encountered something unsatisfactory, the wise and knowledgeable Miss Ludwig was undoubtedly more loved by the young ladies of the Bennet family.This made Mrs. Bennet hate and love. What she hated was that Miss Ludwig had won the respect and love of her daughters, and what she loved was that with Miss Ludwig teaching her daughters, she could often visit friends and guests. , Inquire about gossip.But this does not prevent her from frequently interrupting Miss Ludwig's teaching to her daughters when she is at home, loudly refuting Miss Ludwig's point of view, and letting her daughters focus on themselves.Fortunately, Mr. Bennet clearly knows the benefits of letting Miss Ludwig teach the ladies, and he can always come out to make jokes at the right time, and sarcasm his wife for fun.

These things did not prevent Miss Ludwig from living comfortably in the Bennet House. She was not only a competent governess, but also became a friend of the Bennet House during the years of getting along.She was very kind to the ladies, especially to Jane.She and Jane are siblings, and Jane likes her independence and firmness, and she likes Jane's indifference and casualness.So, after marrying and settling down with Mr. Weston, she was the first to invite Jane to live with her.

Mr. Weston, born of a respectable family in the north of England, was a good and upright man, about the same age as Miss Ludwig, now Mrs. Weston, well behaved, and of a wealthy family.He joined the National Army when he was young, relying on his sociable personality, he was loved by people wherever he went, and he met some noble people. After retiring, he went into business, relying on his brothers who started business early and the military The noble people I met in the raw goods helped me and accumulated some wealth.He had bought a comfortable house in the seaside town of Brighton, all that was missing was a mistress.

Mr. Weston caused quite a stir on his first visit to Hertfordshire. Families with daughters invited him to balls in the hope of introducing their daughters to him; The wealth of his family can also be called a golden bachelor.There is only one point of criticism - he is a widower - he once met a young lady during his military life and married her, but the lady could not bear the long-term life of running around, and soon passed away.Although Mr. Weston's deceased ex-wife did not leave him an heir, this still takes a lot of points away from him, and some families have become less enthusiastic after knowing this.

Mr. Weston doesn't care about these things, he is too old to fantasize about love, and his wealth is enough for him to live a prosperous life. Dowry, but a young lady who can manage the family affairs independently when he is out on business, just like Miss Ludwig at that time—not to mention that Miss Ludwig was born well, if her parents hadn’t left early, the family She has no brothers, and the distant relative who inherited her family's property is also a villain who sees profit and forgets righteousness. The two can almost be said to be well matched.

Jane tried in a disinterested and friendly spirit to arrange the marriage, and did her best, and the result was of course pleasing, and this spring Miss Ludwig became Mrs Weston.The couple are very satisfied with each other, and as they get to know each other better after getting married, they become more and more affectionate.

"Oh, Jane, good morning!" Mrs. Weston looked up and smiled at Jane when she entered the dining room. "I was wondering when you would come down."

Mr. Weston also looked up and nodded to Jane with a smile.

"Good morning!" Jane walked over and sat down, and found that there was a letter in front of her, which was written by her sister Elizabeth.

"We're expecting you to come down. Read to us. How are Mr. and Mrs. Bennet? How are your sisters? What's new at Longbourne?"

Jane smiled and agreed to open the letter.

"They're all fine... well... there's something new going on."

"Oh?"

Mrs. Weston and Mr. Weston expressed great curiosity.

"Remember the Netherfield Gardens you rented when you were in Hertfordshire?" Jane said to Mr. Weston.

Mr. Weston nodded: "It's really a wonderful house. If I hadn't bought a house here, maybe we could still be neighbors."

"I know you prefer the seaside to Hertfordshire." Mrs. Weston smiled while covering her mouth.

Mr. Weston smiled heartily: "Haha, of course my good wife knows me best."

Seeing them flirting and ignoring others, Jane lowered her head and secretly laughed.

"As far as I know Netherfield has been empty again?" said Mr. Weston, turning from his flirting to Jane.

"Indeed." Jane nodded, "It is indeed too difficult to find a tenant in Netherfield..."

"But it's rented out this time?" asked Mrs. Weston curiously.

"That's right!" Jane smiled.

"Oh? Do you know who it is?" asked Mr. Weston enthusiastically.

Jane smiled and picked up a piece of bread and buttered it, and said: "It is said that a gentleman from the north of England brought his sisters and friends into Netherfield two days before 'Michael's Day', Dad Already visited."

"What's the gentleman's name?" asked Mr. Weston.

"Bingley. Do you know him?"

"I have some contact with him, he looks good, and he is humble. He is a very good young man according to the wind." Mr. Weston commented.

"Does this gentleman have a wife, or is he single?" asked Mrs. Weston.

"Single, as far as I know," replied Mr. Weston.

"Oh!" cried Mrs. Weston softly, and then turned to Jane, "then I must not delay your journey any longer."

Jane smiled and shook her head, and said, "How can you say it's a delay? I'm very happy with you, but I'm worried that you think I've disturbed your two-person world!"

"Quick nonsense!" said Mrs. Weston, with affected irritation.

Jane and Mr. Weston looked at each other and smiled.

"But..." Jane said again, "I really want to say goodbye to you this time."

Meeting the eyes of Mr. and Mrs. Weston looking at her, she sighed exaggeratedly, and said, "I dare not disobey my mother's orders."

Her behavior made the couple laugh.

Mrs. Weston smiled and shook her head and said, "It's me too. I dragged you to stay with me for a while. I don't know when that gentleman will pay a return visit. You probably will miss it."

Jane just smiled and said nothing.

"When do you plan to go?" said Mr. Weston. "I'll have someone arrange a carriage."

Jane thought of the words "immediately" and "immediately" that Elizabeth wrote in her mother's tone in the letter, and said, "Let's leave early the morning after tomorrow."

"Well," Mr. Weston nodded approvingly, and had the servants in the house order him to arrange a carriage for the next morning.

After giving the order, he turned his head and said to his wife: "It seems that it's time for me to buy a carriage, so that it will be convenient for you to move around."

He rides a horse when he goes out to do errands, but now that he thinks about his wife, she doesn't know how to ride a horse. When he goes out to do errands, he can only take a walk nearby.Although he needs his wife to help manage various affairs in the house, he still hopes that his wife can go out to visit his friends from time to time, so as not to tire himself out.

Mrs. Weston could feel her husband's love for her, so she flirted with each other naturally.

After breakfast, Jane returned to the room with the letter, put the letter on the writing table by the window, and sat on the side with her chin resting on her head, looking out of the window in a daze.There was a sentence going around in my mind: The plot has begun!
