My years as a menswear boss

"Miss Davis is really an excellent etiquette teacher." Watson looked at the brown-haired and blue-eyed boy sitting by the window with admiration.

The young man leaned against the window quietly, lowering his eyes and flipping through the book in his hand.

The brown half-length curly hair hangs obediently by the ears.The morning light shines on the boy's pretty face from the window, and the whole picture is quiet and gentle.

"Pa—" Jiqiu closed the book upon hearing Watson's words, "You don't know what I've been through in the past two months."

Thinking back, her body couldn't help but tremble, she might be afraid of rattan for a long time in the future.

The ointment that Rose applied to her was so effective. Every time she finished applying it, when she returned to 221B, the red marks were gone, and her whole arm was as clean as new.

After two months of training in a high-pressure environment, Jiqiu's last trace of girlishness disappeared without a trace.Instead, every move is full of youthful vigor.

"Sir, is there any strange case?"

Jiqiu felt that she needed to vent. She probably understood how hard it was to learn the rules in ancient times.

Just as she finished speaking, the doorbell rang.

Mrs. Hudson soon led a dignified lady into the living room of 221B like every client.

"Mr. Holmes, I have known you for a long time." The client's voice was hoarse, and the ending was a little upturned, flowing into the ears, and there was a feeling of numbness in the heart.

Holmes asked her to take a seat without changing his expression. "What should I call you, madam?"

"Lily? Hughes? Wilson, just call me Mrs. Wilson." Mrs. Wilson slowly lifted the black veil on her face, revealing a pair of gentle and restrained light brown eyes.

"I want you to come and find my husband. He hasn't been home all day and night."

It's only been a day and a night, and Jiqiu's first reaction is that the gentle lady in front of him is a little too nervous. It's normal for a grown man not to go home for a day and a night in this era where lovers are everywhere.

"Did he do anything before he went out?" asked Holmes.

"As usual, it can't be more normal." Mrs. Wilson shook her head lightly, and added the time when Mr. Wilson left home.

"You have just been married for a year. So far, he has always come home on time, whether it is windy or rainy."

"Yes... yes. We got married in October last year, and today is exactly the first anniversary of our marriage. How did you know?" Mrs. Wilson's face was as surprised as before.

The client who just came here is exactly the same.

"Because of the ring on your hand, the release date of that style was in October last year, and it was never sold after only one month." Holmes explained with a cold expression.

Mr. Wilson is a lawyer in a law firm, and Mrs. Wilson comes from a poor noble family.

This kind of wonderful family combination looks more like Mr. Wilson's admiration. After all, no matter how poor Mrs. Wilson's family is, her ancestors are still aristocrats.

In London in the nineteenth century, money was as important as aristocratic status. Just like in "Old Man Goriot", the two vampire-like daughters changed from commoners to countesses with a dowry worth millions.

Jiqiu observed Mrs. Wilson's every move, and always felt a sense of disobedience, but her intuition didn't mean anything.

The lingering sense of disobedience did not disappear until Mrs. Wilson left 221b.

"Sir, I always feel weird." Jiqiu looked at Holmes in confusion.

"Then draw conclusions after our visit tomorrow afternoon." Holmes flicked the note in his hand, letting the wet ink quickly evaporate in the air.Holmes left a petition time before Mrs. Wilson left.

"Holmes, when did you know so much about women's jewelry?!" Watson exclaimed in surprise.

"Watson, do you still remember that you asked me about the ring style last year. I don't know much about jewelry, so I finally chose a few and asked Mr. Holmes for advice. One of them is the one that Mrs. Wilson just wore."

Jiqiu kindly explained, in exchange for Watson's face being moved and Holmes' cold snort.

"However, I don't think Mrs. Wilson loves her husband." Jiqiu paused and explained his opinion seriously, "The edge of the ring on her hand is not as worn as it should be in a year. It can be seen that she Often taking the ring off and putting it back on."

The next afternoon, Jiqiu and Holmes arrived at Wilson's mansion on time.Watson was absent from this visit because of an emergency.

Although the villa is not as luxurious as Irene Adler, it can be seen that the layout is very careful. The tablecloths are all covered with lace, and the teapots for making tea are all woven with a small dress.

"Thank you for your hospitality, Mrs. Wilson." Jiqiu blew on the freshly brewed milk tea, and thanked Mrs. Wilson obediently and politely.

Sitting quietly on the right side of Holmes, the two of them didn't seem to be looking for clues at all, just like a serious father visiting with his newly sensible son.

"No, thank you very much for helping me in your busy schedule." Will

Mrs. Xun smiled and touched Jiqiu's head, "I baked butter cookies, do you want to try them?"

Maybe Mrs. Wilson was too soft, she felt like a mother, Jiqiu nodded her head twice, "Yes."

Since coming in, I haven't seen any servants, only Mrs. Wilson herself. Even the milk tea is freshly brewed by Mrs. Wilson, which is a bit unusual.

After Mrs. Wilson turned around and walked into the kitchen, Ji Qiu pretended to be a restless child and looked around.Holmes was also looking round the drawing-room.

She tentatively put her hand into the crack of the sofa, felt a sharp hard object, and took it out.

It was a photo, and what Jiqiu touched just now was the corner of it.After seeing who was in the photo, she instantly became listless.

Holmes took the photo from Jiqiu's hand, glanced at it calmly, and put it in his pocket as if nothing had happened.

Why was she able to see Rose Davis even though she was on leave? !

Jiqiu felt his arm hurt again.The photo just now is a solo photo of Rose Davis playing Romeo.

Mrs. Wilson quickly brought a plate of butter cookies, Jiqiu skillfully thanked her and began to eat one bite at a time. If Miss Davis was here, she would definitely reprimand her for eating.

Jiqiu learned well in terms of words and deeds, but she has been struggling with dining etiquette. Every time she can't control the size of the steak cuts on her plate, she always cuts a large piece and chews it in her mouth.

The small snacks are also one bite at a time, and Miss Davis repeatedly reminded her to take a few bites, but she forgot about it.

So in the past two months, the rattan canes she suffered were mostly for meals.The fear of hunger brought to her by the first arrival was deeply imprinted in her heart.

Even though he was able to eat later, Jiqiu subconsciously stuffed the food into his mouth quickly.

I don't know if it was the aftereffects of seeing Miss Davis's photo just now. After Jiqiu ate half a plate of cookies, he began to feel guilty, and the cookies in his hand were no longer fragrant.
