【Adele】

Eric went for a walk in the woods with us that day, not just to find red pine for musical instruments, but to find good wood strong and durable enough to renovate the cottage left by Mr. John Austen.

Neither Jean nor I had any objection to this. Mr. Van Helsing was skeptical at first, but after seeing Eric's hand-drawn renovation drawings, he no longer had any opinion, and praised "this is a masterpiece of genius" while holding the drawings.

The only one who may have an opinion is Leicester.

"Why did you arrange my bedroom underground! It's not fair! Eric, I have reason to suspect that you are deliberately revenge!"

The newly hired workers are expanding the small underground storage room according to Eric's instructions, because the house does not have enough space, and the only way to make everyone feel "comfortable" in a short period of time is the underground storage room. Space can be used.

There is no sunlight, and it is indeed the most suitable place for Lester, but he feels aggrieved by this, thinking that Eric favors one another and deliberately makes him wear small shoes.

Since the adjustment of the underground space was the first project to be carried out, Eric said, "I'm fed up with being in the same room with this golden retriever ghost, and I must get him out of my bedroom right away." In the process, endless quarrels began.

I feel like my head is getting bigger, the new sound insulation panels are not done well, and there is no way to proceed with the research on the map of Hamna Tower.

At this time, Professor Van Helsing sent a ray of light——

"Invitation from Mrs. Gresham. A grand ball will be held at her manor the night after tomorrow. We are a group of out-of-towners who have just arrived in Hampshire to invite us to attend, and I specifically asked Mr. Grenoye to go to-oh Why is that?" Van Helsing was very puzzled after browsing the invitation: "Could it be that the famous Professor Van Helsing is not as good as this kid Grenouille?"

After meeting the sisters of the Austin family that day, Professor Van Helsing briefly told me about Steventon's situation. I learned that Mrs. Gresham is a famous and extremely wealthy local nobleman, so she specially invited Grenoye's Intent is not hard to guess.

"Probably because Jean is more attractive to women than you are," I replied with a smile.

【Jean Grenouille】

There will be a lot of people at the ball, sparkling floors and candles everywhere, loud music and voices, all kinds of strange smells mixed with spices, shocking the sense of smell.

Just thinking about it makes me dizzy.

But Adele said: "I heard that in a country town like Steventon, outsiders are very conspicuous. If we refuse this dance, it will make a bad impression. How long will I live here? It's always better to have a group of well-meaning neighbors. And, most importantly..." She whispered to me in a low voice, "If you hear Eric and Lester continue arguing, I'm afraid I will Crazy, pick up a kitchen knife and kill any of them! I need to relax so much!"

Well, that's a valid reason, I think so too.But I don't believe that Adele's kitchen knife can hurt any of them.

"Prom? How can this kind of thing be without me?" Lester's sense of smell is always the most sensitive to this kind of glamorous and elegant gathering with many human beings. He picked up the invitation card and kissed it twice: "I love prom !Let the bad guy Eric stay at home and fix the house, this is not a masquerade haha, I'm sure the mask face will never attend! Come, come, let me see our beautiful and lovely Adele, Which dress would you like to wear to the ball? I promise, no matter how cold and reserved the young men in England may be, they will be crazy about you if you show up!"

"Lester." I think he's overexcited, and I have to remind him of an important point.

"What are you doing, Grenoye? You need me to choose a dress for you, right? I understand, I have done this kind of thing very well, you can rest assured, but your temperament and demeanor still need to be strengthened, today you go to stick to the wall Stand for two hours with your back straight!"

"It's not like that, Mr. Lester," I now think he is not excited, but a little mad, "you don't need to make Adele look good."

"Oh..." Lester gave me a meaningful look: "I understand that men always want to keep the best treasures for themselves, and no one will let them see."

Hmm... Maybe that's the reason, but the feeling described by Lester is weird. In short, I added another reason why I don't like proms: I don't want other people to be attracted by Adele.

But in spite of my reluctance, the nasty dance came.I had to be tortured head to toe by Lester again before taking the carriage to my appointment, but Adele liked my new dress, calling it "spiritual and handsome".

When we arrived at the gate of the manor, there was a large rectangular pool not far away. At this time, I really wanted to stay by the side of the pool and not go in. The air smelled clearly.

There are so many people.

"You are Mr. Grenouille. I have heard of you for a long time. I have a small bottle of your perfume in my collection, and I am still reluctant to use it." An old woman with silver hair stood in front of the gate to welcome us. It was a surprise to be at my ball. Oh, I have to say, I was not expecting you to be young, but this is the way it is now, young people are either as brilliant as you are, or they are arrogant and licentious Too much, oh I can't stand them."

"Come, Mr. Grenouille, let me introduce you. This is my nephew Wesley, he is my future heir. Wesley, this is Mr. Grenouille, the master perfumer in Paris. His bottle Perfume can fetch sky-high prices."

I guess the old woman talking to herself is Mrs. Gresham. She doesn't smell too much, which is not a sign of health. First, it shows that her cleanliness is serious. Accept God's call, although she still looks very energetic.

She's a fucking widow, I thought.

【Adele】

"I would like to introduce to you the honored guest tonight, Mr. Jean Grenouille! The most famous perfume master in Paris, who was once summoned by the queen, each of his perfumes is a unique formula in the world!"

There was a round of applause immediately.Without our permission, Mrs. Gresham introduced Jean in this way. To be honest, I don't like her approach. Jean is not good at dealing with too much attention. I try my best to make him used to attending such occasions. But I don't want to force him too much and make him uncomfortable.

Fortunately, very few people in Steventon had heard of Grenouille's name, so after Mrs. Gresham's public introduction, most people chose to wait and see and discuss curiously instead of coming to interrupt.After all, our base camp is in Paris, and almost all the perfumes we manufacture are for the dignitaries, the upper class, and the short days of fame, we really shouldn't expect many people in a rural town in Hampshire to know about him.

"Of course, look at his greasy, swaggering way, mixed with Irish and London Bond Street poses!"

"simple!"

"I've already shown mercy. He dared to refuse the invitation to dance with just a few men. Henry, are all your friends so annoying?"

There was a familiar voice. I looked in the direction of the voice, and as expected, I saw the bold Miss Jane Austen. She was holding a wine glass and seemed to be talking about someone angrily. Seeing the embarrassment on her face when she turned to face the man behind her, I guess this is the man she was talking about.

Then what?Then she went dancing with this man.

I can fully guess this result, and it is no different from the descriptions of all romantic novels.What I'm interested in is the personality and name of this lady. Needless to say, a girl who dares to mock Eric's appearance at the first meeting is very courageous.

And after a few days, I finally remembered why this lady's name sounded so familiar.

Isn't that the name of the author of the world famous books "Pride and Prejudice" and "Sense and Sensibility"?

But who can guarantee that it is not the same name?After all, the name "Jane" is still very common.

Given that I have already experienced several movies, I dare not take any stranger who appears lightly, it is better to observe clearly.

I've figured out the first thing I'm going to do in the future—ask her for an autograph.

"Grenouille, what are you and Adele doing in the corner?" Lester went upstairs panting, and grabbed Jean's neck: "Even that old guy Van Helsing went down to dance, but you are here Drinking and watching? Come on, it's a dance! Grenouille, don't you want to ask Adele to dance?"

Lester, I really want to put a label on his forehead - "The Butterfly of the Prom". In just half an hour, he has already danced with one-third of the women in the audience, and besides the first one is He took the initiative to invite, and all the people behind him were women.And some women are still reluctant to part with him after dancing with him, and want to continue to occupy him, and pink bubbles appear all over his body. I can see it clearly when I stand on the second floor.

I guarantee that Leicester is definitely the most popular dance partner tonight, bar none.

"Lester, I, can I please..." After a few minutes, another shy little girl appeared, and the pockmarks on her face couldn't cover her flushed cheeks and expectant little eyes.

"I'm sorry, Miss Clay, I have to stay with my friend for a while," Lester held her hand, his eyelashes drooped slightly, and he bowed slightly, politely printed a kiss on the back of her hand, and smiled, " I'll find you later, okay?"

"Okay...Of course...Of course..." The poor little girl, after being kissed by Lester, was so fascinated that she couldn't find her way.

I had to warn: "Lester, you may dance, you may be courteous, but not..."

"Hunting." Lester picked it up for me, raised his eyelids lazily, and shook the glass he hadn't taken a sip of wine at all: "I know, I'm not interested in these country folks who smell bad, although there are a few good ones girls, but they are too clean, I can't speak."

"Hey," Lester said a moment later when one of his "bad-smelling rednecks" came upstairs, followed by her young, handsome partner.

"I didn't expect it to be you. I'm glad to see you again, Adele." Miss Jane Austen hugged me. She looked ruddy and well-toned. I don't know if it was because of the dance or the handsome man behind me. .

"I heard Mrs. Gresham's introduction. It turns out that you are a perfume master in Paris. I don't know what the production process is, but it sounds great." She also did not forget to say hello to Grenouille with a warm smile.As long as she's not being sarcastic, she comes off as educated and bubbly.

She took another look at the handsome blond guy standing on the other side of me, her eyes full of doubts.She was not killed by Lester's appearance in the first place, and she was able to maintain her sanity, which is really rare.

"I'm Lester. I'm glad I finally met you, but Miss Austen who dares to satirize Mr. Ghost of the Woods," Lester kissed the back of her hand in the same gesture, which he is familiar with, but this time he Watching Austin smile mysteriously, "I think we'll have a good chat about someone."

Uh... God bless me, I didn't accidentally find Lester an ally against Eric.

Jane Austen froze for a moment, but didn't answer.She just pursed her lips slightly, and glanced around: "Mr. Ghost of the Forest, didn't he come to the dance with you tonight?"

"Mr. Forest Ghost? It's an interesting name," the handsome man standing behind her finally said, with his hands behind his back, smiling politely at us, reserved and distant, with a heavy trace of perfunctory, "Let me introduce myself, I'm Tom Lefroy. Jane, won't you introduce me to your friends?"

Tom Lefroy?It's so familiar, I guarantee I've heard this name somewhere before.

The author has something to say: thanks to:
