[Comprehensive Classics] Different Jane

The trick of "other people's children" is a big killer for children no matter what age or country.When Sherlock was invited to the Bennet family's Christmas dinner, he was sensitive to the fact that the Misses Bennet (except Jane) looked at him in very complicated eyes, with admiration in curiosity and jealousy in admiration.

Sherlock:? ?

Sherlock asked Jane quietly: "Did you say anything bad about me to your sisters?"

Jane cut the meat with a low voice, "Shut up!"

"Oh……"

The majesty of the eldest sister was immediately reflected. Sherlock was very aware of his current situation. What those little girls thought had nothing to do with him. If it wasn't for Jane's sister, he wouldn't be interested at all, okay?He could see that all of the Bennet family were ordinary people except for Jane. Jane Bennet was a tree on the prairie, the stork among the chickens... Ah, this roast goose is delicious, yes Exclusive recipe?The meatballs are not bad either~ The grilled fruit tastes really good too...

After the meal, there is a gift-sharing session, and Sherlock is destined to be just a spectator.The gifts given by the Bennet sisters have always been secretly inquired about by each other. This year, only Jane can’t inquire. The other sisters can only send small gadgets made by themselves, such as handkerchiefs, hair bands, a picture and a story. Bennet The couple gave a pair of lace gloves and a skirt, which made the other Miss Bennets envious.

Jane's gifts this year are very generous... She gave each of her younger sisters a fan. The fans are all made of satin, and the fabric and color of each person are different, which means that everyone can exchange clothes with each other.Each was also given a very expensive-looking linen handkerchief, embroidered with each individual's initials, which Jane had made herself.

What Jane gave to Mrs. Bennet was a hat pin decorated with enamel beads, and the needle surface was plated with copper, which shone like gold. If she didn't tell everyone, everyone would think she gave a gold pin. Where's the hatpin?And Mr. Bennet's gift is a meerschaum pipe with beautiful natural patterns on it. Jane saw a similar pattern in London before, but she didn't have the money to buy it at that time, and now she finally got her wish. .

Everyone is excited about their presents.

"It's so pretty Jane."

"It cost a lot of money."

"I like it so much, Jane."

Even Sherlock had brought a gift, a very good bottle of red wine... He mentioned Longborn all the way from London.Even Jane is about to change.

"I didn't expect you to remember the gift." Jane whispered to Sherlock.

"Anyway, it was given (to my dad) by someone else." Jane could see that Sherlock was actually very proud.

Jane: ...won't it attract your father?

Generally speaking, Christmas is still very happy. In the sound of Mary's piano, Sherlock even "condescended" to ask Jane to dance, but it was only for her.Mrs. Bennet's eyes were shining brighter than the hat pin Jane gave her. She thought that this little Mr. Holmes must have taken a fancy to Jane, otherwise why would he come all the way from London to see her on Christmas? What about (big mistake)?Although this little gentleman is not very handsome, his family must be very rich, and it would be nice if Jane could marry this family.Besides, Jane is so beautiful, it would be nice for their children to be like Jane in the future~

I have to say that Mrs. Bennet's thinking is really far away.

Sherlock is not the kind of person who would change his habits for others, so he still got up very early the next day, and before anyone in the Bennet family woke up, he had already opened the back door of the kitchen and went for a walk .

When Sherlock came back, Jane was already preparing breakfast in the kitchen. She also didn't change her biological clock just because she went home, otherwise it would be very painful when she returned to Cambridge.

"Good morning, Jane."

"Good morning, Sherlock, why are you so early."

The kitchen is filled with the smell of coffee and other food. Jane is making cheese omelette rolls. The cheese is the kind with a strong milky flavor. It is cut into small pieces together with cabbage and ham, and then mixed with eggs, milk and a little salt. .Heat a frying pan and brush with butter, pour in the egg wash, spread out, and cook on one side.The leftover roast goose from yesterday was sliced ​​by Jane. Jane put a cabbage leaf in the omelette, put some goose meat and pickled cucumbers, and rolled the omelet.If there is not enough goose meat, there are unfinished meatballs, which are also cut into slices and wrapped in omelets.

Egg pancakes are easy to make, and Jane cooked them well. After a while, a large pot of egg liquid will turn into pancakes.

There was still toast left yesterday, so Jane simply made it into sandwiches.Add some salt and pepper to the eggs, put some grated cheese on the toast, then put a slice of fried bacon, then grated cheese, and finally put a piece of toast.Roll it in the egg liquid and fry it in the pan. Every side is fried until browned. It is delicious with any sauce you like when you eat it.

"Gululu~~" Sherlock, who was watching on the sidelines, cried out honestly.

"Can I have one first?" Sherlock used to be embarrassed by his stomach growling in front of Jane, but now he is completely used to it.

"There are trays and cups over there. The coffee is in the pot. You can take it yourself." Jane was frying sandwiches and had no time to talk to him.

"Then I'll have breakfast in my room." Sherlock unceremoniously put several omelet rolls on the tray, then after thinking about it, he put back two omelet rolls and replaced them with two sandwiches.

"Is there ketchup?" Sherlock asked.

Jane raised her chin and pointed, "That bottle is it."

Sherlock opened the lid and took a look, took a knife and wiped a little on each sandwich, then closed the lid, poured himself another cup of coffee, and went upstairs to the room satisfied.

Sherlock disappeared in Longbourne for a day and reappeared in front of the Bennets at night, which made Mrs. Bennet very puzzled: Didn't this young man come for Jane?Why haven't you seen anyone all day?

"Actually, Longborn is also very interesting. I found three poisonous plants by the river and in the woods, which are not found in London." Sherlock said to Jane enthusiastically.

Jane said to Sherlock: "Really? Then you must never tell anyone."

"What? Why?" Sherlock feels that there is nothing that cannot be known about knowledge, as long as you can understand it.

"Aren't you very suspicious if there is a poisoning case nearby?" Jane said casually.

Sherlock thought about it, and found it very reasonable.

Jane: Wait, I'm joking... How fat is it, is the childhood detective so easy to deceive?

Sherlock: You guessed it.

Jane actually had a lot of speculation about why Sherlock didn't even come home for Christmas, "So why did you come to my house at this time." She just asked directly.

Sherlock looked up at the sky, but didn't say anything.

"You must have had a fight with your father. If you didn't win the fight, you just ran away from home." Jane guessed randomly.

Sherlock glared at her, "First, I didn't quarrel with my father, second, I didn't lose, and third, I didn't run away from home!"

Jane felt that she had guessed it nine times out of ten, "What can't be said between father and son, to quarrel like this? I thought you wouldn't quarrel."

Sherlock let out a sigh of relief, expressing his disdain, "Aren't you good at guessing?"

Jane didn't guess, whatever happened to her, it couldn't be that Mr. Holmes wanted to find a wife for Sherlock, did Sherlock disagree?

Jane didn't guess, but she had already prepared a big move.Sherlock didn't know it at first, and the next day he went to the woods for a whole day and came back to see that there was another guest in the Bennet house.

This guest is taller than Sherlock, fatter than Sherlock, and looks nothing like Sherlock. The only thing they have exactly the same is that they both have the surname Holmes.

"Why are you here!" And talking and laughing with a group of women.

Sherlock felt really stupid when he asked, why is Mycroft here?Someone must have told him, who else would this person be?

Sherlock turned to stare at Jane again.

Jane is not afraid of Sherlock, the guy who eats and drinks uninvited.

"Sherlock, it is very rude of you to visit so suddenly." Mycroft said to Mrs. Bennet again, "Mr. Bennet and Mrs. Bennet, my little brother must have added a lot to you." Trouble, I hope you can kindly forgive him for his rude behavior." Mycroft never failed to please anyone, not to mention he brought a valuable gift.

Mr. Bennet was very well impressed with Mycroft.Mrs. Bennet was even more powerless against this kind of commercial flattery. She was so happy from ear to ear, and she loved Mycroft very much in her heart.She thought that although the little Sherlock Holmes had a cold and arrogant personality, it was understandable. The youngest son of a rich family, don't you think he came here for Jane?What's more, for this big Holmes, Mrs. Bennet is also willing to make this marriage.

=V=

Mrs. Bennet's mind was wide open, and she became more enthusiastic about the Holmes brothers.

As a tall and fat man, Mycroft smiled very amiably. He smiled and said to Mr. and Mrs. Bennet: "I need to talk to Sherlock alone."

"Of course, please." As soon as Mr. Bennet finished speaking, Mycroft pulled Sherlock out.

The Holmes brothers did not go far, and were standing outside the door by the sidewalk talking.As soon as they went out, the Miss Bennets who were sitting next to them pretending to be ladies, immediately rushed to the sofa in front of the window like a flock of sparrows. They secretly looked at the two brothers, one fat and one thin, chatting in chirping.

"My God, people from London are different from people in a small place like ours."

"His clothes are the same as those two pieces (corduroy) that Jane brought back."

"He has a lot of fun talking."

"Does their family know your uncle's family?"

"It's really a gentleman, but it's a little fatter."

"You don't care if someone is fat or not, it has nothing to do with you."

"I said no."

"Ah~ It's good to have a tutor~"

"What kind of tutor, he's already at work, and you didn't hear what he said, it's a government department."

"I mean little Sherlock Holmes."

"That's not a governess either. He's a professor who lives at Cambridge University."
