[Shenxia Tongren] My dear brothers and adults

Before Hypatia could think of a way to abduct Sherlock home for the holiday, she received a call from her mother, saying that she missed herself and wanted to go to France to spend the holiday with her.Although there were not many people making trouble at Christmas, Mycroft still wanted to stay in the UK.But Sherlock is unwilling to take a step out of Baker Street.Hypatia had to make an appointment with them for a video chat.

Hypatia got off the plane in Cannes, transferred to the train to Nice, and finally went to the villa where her mother lived all year round at noon.Mrs. Holmes is over sixty years old, her gray hair is neatly combed, and she wears round pearl earrings. She is wearing a neat and clean black suit, with a black agate brooch pinned to her chest, and her hands are folded Sitting on the balcony with her back straight on her knees, looking into the distance, when she saw her daughter arrived, she just smiled and got up and waved her hand, and then asked the servant to open the door for her daughter, she would not go down by herself.Seeing such a scene from a distance, Hypatia sighed again that her mother's demeanor was so beautiful, and she seemed to be unable to learn it.

Hypatia took off her coat as soon as she entered the door. It was extremely hot. The temperature difference between Britain and here is 20 degrees Fahrenheit. Her coat is too thick here.After putting down her luggage, she asked how her mother was doing, but she replied that everything was fine.Hypatia was very happy when she heard this. Her mother was weak, and it was great that she could not be disturbed by the illness.She went up to the balcony on the second floor and stood behind her mother.

Mrs. Holmes was still able to see and hear the sound of Hypatia's high-heeled shoes very clearly. She put down the teacup in her hand, looked back, and said with a kind smile, "Come on, sit down and watch the scenery with me."

"Yes, mother." Hypatia looked up and squinted at the sun that was radiating light and heat without hesitation, thinking, wouldn't it be too hot to sit outside?However, it is understandable that my mother is old and afraid of the cold.

After Mrs. Holmes spoke, someone came to move the chairs and arrange the teacups. Hypatia only needed to stand aside and concentrate on talking to her mother.

"Are your two older brothers okay?"

"It's all good, Mycroft's official career is prosperous, and Sherlock's career is also thriving." Hypatia said while sitting down.

"That's good. You have worked hard to take care of them these years."

"No, how could it be? My brothers should take care of me."

"It's rare that either Mycroft or Sherlock knows how to put clothes in the washing machine instead of the recycling bin," said Mrs. Holmes sharply.

"Uh, hehe, mother, Mycroft can still take care of himself."

"If he could, why did he set up the Diogenes Club? He has always been lazy."

"Ahem, mother's eyes are like torches."

"Stop talking about that, look, Violet is back."

Hypatia got up and walked to the edge of the balcony, and saw a silver-gray car coming from a distance, stopped in front of the door, and got out of the car, a simple and elegant old lady, although her clothes were not She is luxurious, but her temperament is high, showing her good background and upbringing.

Hypatia stood up when she saw her, and after a while, she came up to the balcony and smiled, "Hypatia, you are here."

"Mrs. Smith, good afternoon." She went up to kiss Mrs. Smith.The old lady is a boudoir friend of Mrs. Holmes and a governess to Mycroft, Sherlock and Hypatia.After the accident of Mr. Holmes in the previous generation, she and her mother helped Mycroft support the whole family.Hypatia has great respect for her, even if Sherlock escaped and came to her again, he would not dare to be presumptuous.

Mrs. Smith sat down, held up her teacup, took a sip, and said, "Good boy, sit down, how are your two brothers?"

Hypatia said again: "My brothers are all well."

The two ladies drank tea with satisfaction, and Hypatia tried to sit beside her more dignifiedly. Every time she stayed next to her mother and Mrs. Smith, she was always afraid of being picky about her posture and demeanor. This was probably a childhood shadow.

When going to lunch, Hypatia felt that her limbs were stiff. No wonder Mycroft would rather write to his mother than come here in person.After lunch, Mrs. Holmes pointed to the piano in the dining room and said: "It's almost the holiday, let's play some upbeat music, the wild bees are flying." Mrs. Smith also sat aside and looked at Hypatia with a smile.

"Okay, mother." Hypatia sat down and moved her fingers and wrists. Fortunately, she still remembered the score of the flight of the bumblebee. If she was asked to play Hungarian Rhapsody, it would be fatal.She calmed down, and then her slender fingers danced and jumped on the black and white keys, turning into the buzzing of wasps flying, like a swarm of wild bees surrounding her.This piece of music is comparable to the cadenza in the piano concerto, if not better.After Hypatia finished playing, he felt that his fingers were going to be broken. While rubbing his fingers, he thought, next time Sherlock should come to see if the strings of his precious violin will be broken. , and then I finished the accompaniment, which is a much easier job.

The two ladies watching politely clapped their hands.Mrs. Holmes said with some nostalgia: "I remember when I was in Sussex, Mycroft played the cello, Sherlock played the violin, and Hypatia was the accompaniment. That sounded really lively."

Seeing this, Hypatia secretly made up her mind that she must abduct Mycroft and the others back home next time. If her mother recuperates for a while, it should be better, and she can go back to Sussex.

Mrs. Holmes was sentimental for a while, and then said: "Hypatia, when will you get married?"

What is the problem? !Hypatia was a little stunned and asked, "Mother?"

"I remember, you wanted to be a female prime minister like Mrs Thatcher."

"Yes." Hypatia replied, what does that have to do with my marriage?

"Since this is the case, you'd better marry and have a baby before the age of 30, and then return to the official career around the age of 35, otherwise it will be too late. Mycroft is in charge of mi5 and mi6, but he can't help you. Instead, It's your hindrance. There will be many people who can't understand you. So you better let them think you are a good wife and mother."

"Oh, mother." Hypatia felt a headache, what's the matter?My ex is still haunted, and now I'm looking for a husband?According to Moriarty's crazy character, she didn't want to be a widow when she got married.

"You don't need to find someone who is too smart. It's better to find a stupid and obedient one so that you can control it." What Mrs. Holmes thought was that if he dared to return the product without Mycroft's action, Hypatia would be able to control it. Can hit the door to go.

Hypatia could only smile wryly at this. This is a wise saying that her mother has come up with all her life. It is probably because her father, her high-intelligence husband, ran away.

To be honest, Mr. Sherlock Holmes of the previous generation and his wife have very similar behavior styles. After the two people with strong desire for control and power come together, they have run in for decades, and in the end one of them couldn't help but ran away. .The father either made a bad move, or felt ashamed, so he left all his connections and wealth and left the house by himself, but Hypatia felt that it was because his father admired his eldest son very much at that time, so he left everything to him. Mycroft, he ran away anyway because he couldn't live with his mother anymore, not his son's business.

Regardless of the grievances of the previous generation, the current problem is that Hypatia has now provoked a pervert with high IQ, low EQ, and strong desire for monopoly. Even if that guy is not afraid of death for money and beauty, she will not be so vicious Involve the dead.Therefore, seeing that her mother was still entangled in this issue, Hypatia quickly betrayed her two brothers and said, "Mother, Mycroft has a boyfriend, and Sherlock is also pursuing him. His roommate."

"Oh." Mrs. Holmes calmly glanced at Mrs. Smith beside her, and said, "It's probably hereditary." Then she added enthusiastically, "So, if you don't want to drive your husband out of the house, and If you don't want to suppress your own nature, you'd better find a man who is a little bit stupid."

Hypatia is silent, mother, you are so tough, I can't hold it!Brother, where are you? !

After lunch, Hypatia helps her mother write Christmas cards for friends and family.When Mrs. Holmes was young, she was Her Majesty's lady-in-waiting. She had a lot of old friends and relatives, and every festival was a busy time.Having done this, Mrs. Holmes went to supper refreshed.Hypatia once again felt that her hand was about to break. Those greeting cards were all handwritten instead of typed on the keyboard, and she burst into tears.

On Christmas Eve, after dinner, Hypatia had a three-way video call with Sherlock and Mycroft.When Mrs. Holmes saw her two sons, she said kindly: "Oh, mycbear, sherly, you two brats will only order my sister to come over, and you are too lazy to go out."

Hearing the name "mycbear", Hypatia snickered, and at the same time heard Sherlock repeating: "Mycbear.", laughing.

Mycroft said calmly: "Sherly kitty, be good!" Sherlock's face darkened, and then he quickly closed his mouth.Hypatia could clearly hear Sherlock yelling in a low voice to tell the onlookers not to laugh. It seemed that he had a very lively Christmas this time.

After talking on the video call for a while, Mrs. Holmes went back to rest due to physical reasons.Hypatia was bored and could only go to sleep after reading for a while.When she fell into a drowsy sleep, she suddenly received a call saying, "Irene Aide strangled to death."
