[Comprehensive Classics] Different Jane

"Mr. Holmes is a kind man. He said he could offer me a job in England, but the premise is that I have to learn how to speak English. No one from our place has ever been abroad." Toby said happily.

Jane was amused by this little guy, and Toby was as simple and optimistic as a little milk dog, and was grateful for life. He only hoped that he could still maintain this mentality when he knew who his biological father was in the future.

"Okay." Jane clapped her hands, "Toby, since you're ready, move to my place today."

"Huh? Today? Well then," said Toby, his eyes wide. "May I say goodbye to Mrs. Lamb and Mrs. Thick?"

"Of course, go ahead and pack your luggage by the way."

Toby literally jumped and ran out like a puppy.

It turns out that kids like Toby are very popular with older women.Mrs. Wood welcomed Toby, and then she noticed Jane's ring.

"Oh, my God, my God, Jane, you...you..." Mrs. Wood was speechless in surprise.

"Yes yes, we, um, this is an engagement ring." Jane said shyly.

"Really! My God, this is really wonderful. I have known for a long time that you two are really a suitable couple. Congratulations, Jane, Mr. Holmes." Mrs. Wood's joy and excitement were beyond words,

"Thank you, Mrs. Olivia." Jane stepped forward and hugged Mrs. Wood.

"Then when are you going to get married?" Mrs. Wood asked by the way.

this……

Mycroft, who was following Jane, couldn't help showing an awkward but polite smile.

"I thought about it for two years, wait for me." Jane explained, "It's too early to get married at the age of 16~"

"Oh..." Mrs. Wood realized that Jane didn't want to get married yet. She glanced back and forth between Jane and Mycroft, and said, "I don't think there is any need to worry. You two are still young, and you will be married a few years later." It doesn't matter."

Mycroft said nothing, but sighed exaggeratedly, which amused Mrs. Wood, and she said with a smile: "Oh, look, Mr. Holmes doesn't seem to appreciate the idea? Jane has a point, too. If you are too young, if you have a child, it is a very dangerous thing for women, and it will be fine in a few years."

Mycroft knew that it was impossible for Mrs. Wood to speak for him, and he really sighed in his heart, why is it so difficult to get married?

When we were on the road before, Jane euphemistically expressed to him that he did not want to get married in the near future. Firstly, it was because Jane felt that she was young, 16 years old, and not yet old enough to participate in social dances. It would be a pity to miss it; The second reason is that Hogwarts has only opened for half a year in Cambridge, and Jane will naturally live in London with Mycroft after she gets married, so what about this store?It would be a pity to close, and Ben and Ana aren't big enough to support a dessert shop right now.

What Jane said was indeed very reasonable, what else could Mycroft do?The wife I proposed to marry, of course I had to spoil her. (*￣ω￣)

Since you want to get used to it, you naturally need a new pair of rings. The logic is a bit strange?not at all.

The sapphire ring used for marriage proposal is too gorgeous and not suitable for daily wear. Mycroft urgently needs a pair of rings that are convenient for daily wear, so as to announce to the world that Jane? How embarrassing it is for him to be alone in London!

But before that, there is a more important thing to do first, and that is to notify relatives and friends of the matter.

Jane spent a day writing a letter, and then carefully threw it into the mailbox accompanied by Mycroft.But Mycroft made some calculations and found that it would be better to wait a few days to go back and say in person that only Professor Beckham's house needed to be visited.So Mycroft took Jane to visit Professor Beckham...that is, the home of the professor where Sherlock is currently staying.

Sherlock felt that he had been cheated.Fortunately, he still wanted to help Mycroft catch up with his rival!Look what Mycroft has done?

Sneak into Cambridge, sneak a proposal, and don't ask Professor Beckham to tell me he's coming, and I'm not even the first to know that your proposal was successful!

"Sherlock, don't you... don't welcome me?" Jane was a little worried. Now she seldom thinks about Sherlock becoming a famous detective in the future. She wants to think of this second-year middle school boy as that future great detective. It's really difficult.But Sherlock is the first member of the Holmes family whom Jane meets after she agrees to marry him, so she cannot help feeling uneasy.

"Charlie?" Mycroft looked over, and he winked.

"Of course not, Jane, I have no dissatisfaction with you, at least compared to those other women, you are much better." Sherlock said briskly, "I haven't congratulated you yet, Jane, welcome to Holmes."

Jane: "...the other women?"

Mycroft: "... Sherlock means any woman but you, who can compare to you, Jane?"

Mycroft gave Sherlock a hard look, and Sherlock turned to look skyward.

This Professor Beckham, who has the same surname as the famous football star of later generations, has no similarities with that handsome British guy. He is a decent gentleman, strong in body, funny and humorous. He likes horse riding and fencing. Sherlock is also learning under his influence. fencing.

The combination of Professor Beckham and his wife is a typical old couple and young wife. The two are cousins.

Professor Beckham is the second son. Back then, his father picked Mrs. Beckham's elder sister for him, but Professor Beckham liked her little cousin who was ten years younger than him. For this reason, he waited hard. After five years, I didn't marry my little cousin until she was young, but it was true love.

Mrs. Beckham and Professor Beckham are also childhood sweethearts (ten years apart), they met and fell in love.She was of a gentle nature, and knew Mrs Wood, and they often had afternoon tea together with several other wives.

Today Jane and Mycroft came to visit for afternoon tea. Jane brought the most famous Hogwarts cookies as a gift. Professor Beckham and his wife were overjoyed.

"Sherlock bought it a few times, it's so delicious, we all like it very much." Mrs. Beckham clapped her hands lightly, "Just a few days ago, dear Mr. Beckham bought some great tea, we Let's taste it together." As she spoke, she beckoned the maid to fetch tea.

"Is that the shop called Hogwarts?" Professor Beckham asked.

"Yes, that store is quite famous, but it's a bit far from here." Mycroft said and met Jane's eyes.

"Oh, yes." Beckham immediately agreed annoyedly: "It's too far away, we are old and old, and we don't usually go there. Sherlock often brings some snacks back, but I I heard that there are some desserts in his shop that can’t be taken away, so you have to eat them in the shop.” He was full of regret, the main audience of the commercial street near Antler Street is young students, and people of his age usually like Going in the other direction.

"What are you talking about, Professor, don't say you are old, or my father will be unhappy when he finds out. He is a year older than you." Mycroft said jokingly.

"Hahahahaha."

Afternoon tea is usually a woman's activity, and of course the men go to the study to have a drink or smoke a bucket, but Mrs. Beckham is very knowledgeable, and she personally takes the cookies out of the box and puts them on the plate. The maid sent it to the gentlemen in the study.

"Actually, he likes it, but I'm too embarrassed to let Sherlock know." Mrs. Beckham told Jane quietly.Jane pursed her lips and followed with a smile. This was Mrs. Beckham's gentleness, and a word brought the relationship between the two closer.

"Men are like this, it's a good face." Mrs. Beckham pulled Jane to sit down, and asked curiously: "Mycroft is a good boy, how did you know each other?"

Jane pondered for a while, and said, "Actually, that was almost six years ago, and I was visiting at my uncle's house." She skipped the period of being a pen pal with Mycroft. Just said it again.

"Oh, my God, you mean you met him when you were a child, and then he proposed to you when you grew up?" Mrs. Beckham looked excited and gossip, "What a touching love story, then you promise Yet?"

"Of course not, that would be too rash." Jane patted her chest exaggeratedly, "But I thought at the time, since he is Sherlock's brother, he must be smart and caring."

"Isn't it!" said Mrs. Beckham, "but it's like Gentlemen and Ladies~ Oh, my God, I shouldn't be telling you that."

Mrs. Beckham and Jane looked at each other for a while, and Jane asked carefully, "Uh, did Mrs. Olivia borrow that novel from you?"

Mrs. Beckham held Jane's hand, with an expression of encountering a comrade.

Emmmmm... Although in a broad sense, love novels are magical and not suitable for unmarried ladies, but Jane is engaged, and she is a married person if she rounds up, so it doesn't matter if she joins, right?

"We have a small, secret communication salon. Do you want to join, Jane? Ah, Mrs. Wood must have hinted to you, she is our senior member." Mrs. Beckham looked at Jane expectantly.

Jane: "...I will think about it carefully." Okay, yes, I finally understand why Mrs. Wood always has a steady stream of novels to read.

It seems that Professor Beckham really loves his wife, which is why Mrs. Beckham still maintains a girlish mood and hobbies at this age.Jane felt very envious, and only hoped that she would have such a mentality when she was Mrs. Beckham's age.It's not impossible, thinking that she will soon reach this age in her two lifetimes, isn't she still a young girl now?In Jane's heart, she wants to be happy (face) if she is happy.

Jane and Mycroft happily stayed at Professor Beckham's house for about an hour before leaving. Mrs. Beckham also kindly invited Jane to attend the secret garden party of the wags next time.
