The Nineteenth Century Didn't Believe in Love[Comprehensive]

Is this love?Well, at least Carlotta could feel some changes in her mood, which made her feel calm gradually.

As time went by, Carlota felt as if things in the theater had just come to an end, and the day was about to turn to Christmas.

There was no Christmas in the theater, but Carlotta was surprised to learn that the big detective upstairs hadn't returned to England even for Christmas.

"You didn't go back?"

"Well, and they're used to it, too."

Holmes's quick reaction made Carlota narrow her eyes: "Habits? Habits of what kind? Habits of not going home, not getting together, or having festivals?"

"Aren't you the same?"

"No, no, I have a valid reason."

With his hands crossed on his knees, Carlotta's expression was rather intriguing: "But I think you and your brother should have a good relationship. I feel a little bit wrong that you won't go home for Christmas."

Carlota knew that the relationship between the two brothers was very good, and perhaps sometimes his words were a little bit harsh to each other, but he had to admit that Holmes had respect for his elder brother and a little admiration that he himself could not detect.

"Mycroft, he is a very good brother, his reasoning ability is higher than mine, and I respect him very much."

"So you brothers have a good relationship, but you don't go home for Christmas Eve and Christmas?"

Carlota looked in disbelief: "This is the first time I've heard of such a brother."

"Carlota, we are all independent adults now, and of course we have our own choices."

Holding the violin and plucking the strings, Holmes seldom expressed a little dissatisfaction: "What about you, it's normal for you to be at odds with your family. The eldest daughter is outstanding in music and also the best in appearance. Although she has a bit of a strong temper, I can see it. Come out, you are a person who cares about others, why are you so at odds with your family?"

"About this matter, come on, big detective, and I allow you to make an inference on me."

Raising his hand to pour a cup of tea for Holmes, Carlotta smiled and leaned his head on the table: "I'm not a stingy person, you can show your reasoning skills to your heart's content, and I won't be angry if it makes sense. "

Holmes glanced at her, plucked the strings of the violin a little hastily, and seeing that Carlotta still did not give up, he sighed and said, "You are the second daughter in the family, and there is a girl who is three years older than you. Big brother is something I already knew before. You are more powerful than big brother, and it is obvious that you are in a position to suppress him. Considering that your brother’s business is not particularly outstanding, your achievement is the highest in the whole family, So even if your elder brother has the right to inherit, he also has a tolerant attitude towards you."

Carlota nodded, groping for the pattern of the cup in his hands, signaling Holmes to continue.After Holmes glanced at the girl in front of him, he felt helpless: "There are some things I still want to say, but reason tells me that if you say it like this, you will be dissatisfied."

"You don't say I don't force it, and I think you guessed it, my father wants to make me and Raoul a couple and get married, especially in the case of 'the next door has committed crimes', I have the best Good terms."

Seeing the "sure enough" expression on Holmes' face, Carlotta sneered: "He wants to go back to the upper class and wants to go crazy, even with my poor little sister."

Although it is a bit embarrassing, this is not something that cannot be said.Carlota spread her hands, saying that her little sister came to Paris last year and wanted to hitch a ride with her to enter the social world, but she is not a social person. The little sister said everything that happened.

"If you know that my little sister has changed her name, is wandering in the so-called upper class, and her father is also very supportive of her, you will be very disappointed in this kind of family."

Her hearing is excellent, and when she was a child, she could hear her father's simple praise of her beauty and talent, and after this simple praise, she would always follow up with a sentence that he said thoughtfully, "I can definitely enter the upper class and marry a big man". .

Pooh.

Carlotta replied firmly, and fled directly to Paris with the help of his mother.She once thought that it would be impossible to tell her little sister about her father's idea, but she turned her back with a single sentence.

"You look better than me and sing better than me, of course you can say that."

The little sister Camille's face is full of jealousy, a cute face that can even be said to be distorted: "I don't look down on you, the eldest daughter of the Lester family. Listen carefully, Carlotta, I I will definitely fulfill my father's wish and let the Lester family return to high society."

"...It's quite bright outside, wake up my little sister."

Carlotta was speechless, and when the last effort was useless, he did not hesitate to leave this crazy family where everyone except his mother wanted to "return to the upper class and regain the glory of Lester".Of course, the reason why the mother can live so comfortably is probably because "they always have to fantasize about Lota, otherwise they will not be able to live."

Thinking of this, Carlotta rolled his eyes directly: "I don't want to talk to them at all, let alone Christmas."

"Really..."

"The madman's family has its own reasons for continuation, which also makes me feel ridiculous."

Carlotta pouted, what about past glory, who knows what the Lester family used to be like: "Lester used to be a nobleman in a small place, near the sea in the northwest of France. I don't have any idea about the history of Lester's family and I don't want to know, wouldn't it be good to be a squire now?"

"Because people are never satisfied."

Holmes pursed his lips. Although he felt a little ridiculous, these people were Carlota's family members after all, and he had no position to criticize them for the time being.

"But don't worry, my family and I are basically cut off." Carlota smiled and continued a cup of tea for Holmes: "It's not bad if there are only the two of us on Christmas Eve this year. At least we will see everyone we want to see." I used to spend Christmas with Nana when I was in Paris, and occasionally I would spend time with the next-door Virjeon’s house.”

"Vilchon." Holmes smiled playfully. "This family is not simple, especially Mr. Madeleine Viljon. He should have been in prison for a long time, and he escaped from prison."

"But at least he's here as Madeleine Villejon."

Carlotta glared at Holmes, and grabbed his teacup back, "It's enough for him to raise Cosette properly."

"They have no father-daughter relationship."

"But they are the same as any father and daughter in the world, and even have a better relationship than some fathers and daughters."

Carlotta raised his chin and Holmes wanted to laugh, and he did laugh: "You like them very much."

"correct."

"Then do you know who that little girl's lover is?"

that young man?Carlota glanced at Holmes suspiciously: "You deduced it?"

"Mostly, but I guess it's no different from the truth." Holmes nodded a little smugly, and said with a flaunting mood: "I can tell you what you want to know."

"Well, I'm listening."

Carlotta nodded bluntly, and brought the teacup over again graciously: "Do you think you need to add lemon slices?"

"Carlota, the tea is already cold as you go back and forth like this."

"Then don't drink."

After snorting, the soprano really had no choice but to go all out for gossip—although she knew a little, but only a little, most of the truth still needs to be told by others to show that she knows it: "Hot Here is the tea, drink it."

Reluctantly took the teacup, Holmes felt that his soprano was really going to fight black tea to the end.But he didn't hide anything, and said directly: "His name is Marius, Marius Pommercy. His grandfather who raised him was a royalist, and his father was a soldier under Napoleon. He should be a Republican now." people."

"..."

"should?"

"It starts with your coachman, Carlotta." Holmes' eyes were a little darker, and he looked at Carlotta with a complicated expression: "He is not French."

"I know that the name 'John' is definitely not French."

"Very good reason, but you still don't know some things. He is a Republican, and it is he who guided that Mr. Marius, told the name of Miss Virjean next to him, and let him enter the student Inside the leadership."

Carlota's hands trembled, his face full of disbelief: "What did you say?"

As if knowing what Carlotta was thinking, Holmes sighed silently: "Yes, that's the way it is. It is difficult for a young man who is pampered but has parted ways with his family to support himself, but he will always meet with him in difficult times. Pretty much the same kind."

"Carlota, you have been very vigilant. Now the cholera has begun. The winter is slightly better, but spring and summer will be the peak of the plague outbreak."

Holmes put down his violin and touched his fingertips, but his expression was rare and uncertain: "I know that every Frenchman loves his country deeply, but I can't let you here alone under such circumstances."

"So, are you going back to England with me?"

The author has something to say: Christmas is indeed coming soon... Christmas this year is still me alone
