Bad days as neighbors with Sherlock Holmes

Hearing the count's rebuttal, Elena shrugged.

Seeing the essence through the phenomenon is nothing more than stubbornness.

"As long as you like it, Father," Elena shook her head.

The count originally wanted to make a stern look, reprimanding Elena for disrespecting her father.

But seeing the housekeeper who was already waiting beside him, he still silently shut his mouth.

Forget it, forget it, he touched his hairline sadly, wondering if he should send something to Elena.

At the banquet, many people praised his daughter for being very powerful and talented. If it was the past, he would have been quite happy, but this time he was neither happy nor unhappy.

On the one hand, this shows that Elena is earnestly fulfilling her agreement with her.

On the other hand, this shows that Elena is indeed very talented, and compelling talent often means more work.

Especially the previous ship design has not been resolved...

Moreover, according to the past inertia, the more you say this, the better Eileen's work is done.

So she may stay up late at night.

The count sighed, then glanced at Elena's thick hair beside him, and then at his own.

I felt two things deeply.

People are born different.

And, the daughter is a debt.

After the banquet, Elena didn't stay for long, she returned to Baker Street in a carriage, and was busy with the little thoughts she got today.

Having confirmed the sketch of the scheme with Georgiana, the next step is more detailed formal drawings.

After confirmation, you can basically find the construction team.

In this regard, she has already made an appointment with someone, and plans to discuss the specific price in a few days.

However, to her great surprise, the harvest brought to her by this banquet was not just the arrest of those people who pestered her.

There are also commissions from high society ladies and gentlemen.

Obviously, this is all due to the little Brut who actively fought for and promoted it at the banquet.

Elena was very satisfied and tripled the bonus to Little Brutt.

When Elena threw the paper bag prepared in advance to Little Brutt, he was taken aback and almost thought he was going to be fired.

After all, this is too much like the scene of paying wages before leaving.

"This...what is this?" Little Brutt asked tremblingly, searching his memory desperately, "I don't think I made...a mistake."

why is that?Are you going to be forced to resign today?

"Promise your overtime pay," Elena replied, "It's been hard work, and you've done a good job."

Overtime pay?Little Brut breathed a sigh of relief.

He turned to look at the envelope in his hand with an eager look.

No, how could he be so eager?

In order to win the hearts of such people who don't value money, they should show that they regard money as dung in front of the Countess.

Only in this way can it be successfully shown that the object of his courtship is the countess herself, not the countess's money.

Although he did want to marry the money.

But how can you say such a thing?

When little Brut opened the envelope with trembling hands and looked at the money inside, his eyes almost lit up.

This is too much!Too much!

He almost felt his head full of banknotes, all of which had high face value.

There was so much money in the envelope that he immediately swore to God that he would get rid of unnecessary thoughts and serve Elena wholeheartedly.

Be a dedicated and hardworking assistant.

When he went back, his friend quietly asked him how his day was going.

Little Brutt shook his head and said, "I gave up my original goal and planned to be a good man."

"What?" The friend with the same goal was quite surprised, and he asked suspiciously, "But you once determined to become a little boy! Last time you swore that you were one step closer to the Countess."

"I don't want to either," Little Brut waved his hand weakly, "but there is no way. She gave too much."

If the overtime pay has far exceeded his expected living expenses, it is better to step into the ranks of overtime work first.

Anyway, they are selling themselves for money, so it is not bad to sell themselves for work.

After all, the Countess would not talk to him, but she would approve of the job!

Little Brut secretly clenched his fist.

From now on, we must protect the countess who is the most generous in overtime pay in the world.

The small episode at the dance was an episode after all, and after that day, Elena was so busy that her feet barely touched the ground.

During this period, Holmes discussed some details with her about other things, and she was not stingy with telling some common sense among architects.

For example, some estimates of the details of the room, the approximate height difference, and so on.

As for the mysterious "behind the scenes", there has been no sound for almost a week.

The investigation stalled, but Holmes's consulting detective career was in full swing.

Most of this is due to Dr. Watson's special skill - he wrote the process of solving the case quite wonderfully.

Although it has always been seriously criticized by Sherlock Holmes because of its strong storytelling and low academic rationale, to be honest, the public just likes this kind of popular literature.

Elena submitted a few more manuscripts to the newspaper, but received an unprecedented warm response.

Most of the highly praised articles are some theoretical articles about the use of old materials in new buildings. Such articles not only have a lot of supporters, but also have a certain nature of popular science for the public.

Elena's writing is relatively simple, and this article published in the newspaper is also quite popular. Someone even wrote to her specifically, hoping that she would write some more popular science articles as a basic enlightenment.

And some discussions on modern materials in new life and new architecture have been discussed intensely due to their novelty. Some people admire Elena’s bold ideas in these aspects, but many people almost oppose these views with great fanfare and insist on Traditional materials are the natural choice for building a house.

For this reason, they also wrote many letters to Elena, in order to persuade her or scold her for her rashness.

Of course, for Elena, the more disturbing attack was not these controversies about work, but some opposition caused by her publishing articles under her real name.

Whether it is as a lady of very high status, publishing articles under her own name, or putting forward radical opinions on some aspects, they are all regarded as outrageous by these people.

Some people clamored publicly, and even wrote insulting articles to the newspaper, thinking that her behavior was completely contrary to common sense and quite disgusting.

Regardless of whether it was criticism or opposition, these letters were all conveyed to Elena by the newspaper, and then she would reply one by one by herself, or shelved them.

Elena didn't really pay much attention to these arguments. She always felt that the best way to convince others was to present actual evidence.

Until one day when she was on the way to Darcy's house, she met a man who followed her sneakily and then spit on her.

Elena is usually not very angry, but at that time she was really disgusted.

Because the fellow deliberately knocked apart a bunch of things she had bundled up, which she was going to give Georgiana as a birthday present, some interesting old newspapers and periodicals that could be used as material, and the most precious pages were still there. Footprints were set on.

Then he beat him up with a T-square, and sent him to Scotland Yard afterwards.

One bite two, two bite three, and finally a group of people were confessed, all of whom were sent to prison for disturbing public order and destroying other people's property.

The count was also very annoyed when he heard about this, so he made a special trip to warn those people to take good care of their children, otherwise don't blame others for being rude to them.

After this incident, the group of people targeting Elena, or the group of prominent women finally looked a little more peaceful on the surface.

After that, Elena received another interesting letter.

It was an invitation to a tea party sent to her by a female writer.

And speaking of another matter, after the banquet, Elena almost forgot about that annoying guy mentioned at Georgiana's banquet.

Unexpectedly, within a few days, Baker Street ushered in a pampered visitor.

Mrs. Lydia Wickham, ignoring Mrs. Hudson's obstruction, rushed up to the third floor unreasonably, carrying her complicated and novel skirt.

In this way, she stood directly in front of Elena who was working hard.

"Stop writing!" said Lydia. "Listen to me, lady!"

Elena didn't move at all upon hearing that.

She finished all the work in hand meticulously, put the sketch paper on top of the drawn construction drawings, then turned her chair and looked at Lydia.

"Please tell me, Miss, what's your business?" Elena said calmly, "If not, please go out, I will continue to work."

"Of course!" Lydia said without thinking, "It's a serious one!"

She was somewhat dissatisfied with Elena's flippant attitude, "How can you neglect me like this? Not listening to others is not a ladylike behavior at all!"

"It's not a lady's act to break into other people's rooms without authorization, my lady," Elena said coldly, "you didn't put enough chips to win my respect."

"But it was you who caught George in!" Lydia complained loudly, "You should be responsible!"

"George?" Elena asked a little puzzled, "Who?"

"My husband," Lydia complained, "I didn't expect him to go into the cell after a banquet, and we'll say goodbye forever! You're keeping all this from me!"

farewellElena felt that once she said this, it felt like her husband had passed away.

"The premise is that he didn't do anything that is not allowed by the law," Elena shrugged. "If you think he shouldn't be arrested, you should cry to Scotland Yard instead of me. I am neither a lawyer nor a lawyer. Judge, I'm afraid I can't solve your troubles for you."

"But you...but you made me lose my husband!" Lydia struggled for a while, and then forced her anger again, "You have to make it up to me!"

She clasped the hem of the skirt with her fingers, her fingertips turned white, and she looked a little pitiful.

"Since you came here, it means that you have already thought about the compensation you need." Elena sat back on her seat and turned the pen in her hand. "Tell me, what compensation do you want?"

She planned to ask this pestering guy what he wanted first, and then tell her that it was impossible to blow her mind in one fell swoop.

Lydia didn't expect her to accept so quickly.

Before she could turn the words in her heart around, she blurted out, "I want you to make it up to me!"

As soon as the words came out, Lydia realized that she had made a mistake.

Before she had time to change her words, a person appeared from the pile of paper rolls beside her.

Little Brutt, who volunteered to work overtime and stayed up all night, still has dark circles under his eyes and his complexion is pale.

But he still poked his head out angrily and cursed loudly, "You, you, you are just daydreaming all day long! This is absolutely impossible!"

He never expected that there would be people who would dare to fight in front of him!

Want to do what he didn't do!Impossible!He doesn't allow it!

At this moment, Holmes pushed the door open and entered.

"I need your help, Miss Elena," he said directly, "One of my clients is involved in a case about an architect, and the situation is urgent—"

Then he heard Lydia's words, he was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Lydia with his unique scrutiny.

"Lady Lydia Wickham?"

The author has something to say: [The position of the little boy means that Little Brutt has fallen, and the new character Lydia will soon join the overtime family]

Regular tweet: Jiyou's super good-looking comprehensive British and American! !I also made the cover, and I'm also chasing the article (I chase every one of hers!), Hey, it's so beautiful, I can't get enough updates every day, I'm blown away by Mrs. Immortal!

"After Bought the Earth [Comprehensive Anglo-American]"

Author: Man Zhao

[Probably an inspirational (?) story about going from the bottom of the society through unremitting efforts to finally break through the ranks to be promoted and raise salary as CEO, marry Gotham's famous Bai Fumei (?) to the pinnacle of life, but find that Bai Fumei actually has two faces (...) . 】【Copy [-]】

After buying the Earth, Hilda fell in love with a certain Gotham Bai Fumei-Bruce Wayne at first sight.

In order to pursue the other party, she paid a lot:

In order to make money, she gave up her freelance job (begging) and became the bodyguard of Gotham's dominant penguin.

In order to cater to Bruce, she took what the other party hated as what she hated—blacklisted a certain Gotham.

Until one day, her lover told her that he funded the black lacquer that he has always claimed to hate.

Hilda: ? ? ? ?

She forgave her boyfriend: he is an innocent and good man, everything must be the bat's fault!

However, Hilda didn't know that the entanglement between the two of them and Batman was far deeper and more difficult to separate than she thought :)

【Text [-]】

The enigmatic star thief Hilda aspires to become a big shot. In order to realize her dream, she bought the earth with all her savings.

Therefore, Hilda, the most reckless star thief in the entire galaxy, drove her own spaceship, accompanied by wild rock music, with open arms, facing the shining Milky Way and the burning star sun, with the glorious name [ Lord of the Earth declares a great conquest.

…and complacently ignored the artificial intelligence’s advice and went on a drinking spree.

Then, she encountered Superman, the spaceship crashed, fell into Gotham, suffered a head injury, and immediately lost her memory.

Hilda, who only remembered what kind of "lord" she was, began her days of chasing someone in Gotham.

Lord of the Earth, start with begging :)
