Chapter [-]

"What!!! You turned down a sapphire ring, but asked for a woman's photo?!!"

When Sherlock sat in 221b and told Jenny the ending of the incident, Jenny couldn't help standing up angrily and grabbing his ear.

"Oh my God, what are you doing, ma'am, let go." Sherlock even said "My God" that he never said.

This scene was so tragic that even John couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so he... turned his head and looked out the window pretending to be very interested.

Jenny let go of her hand angrily, thinking why did she marry such an idiot husband.A ring that can be worn by a king, not to mention precious and valuable, is at least a royal product. At least it can be a family heirloom in the future, right?The idiot Sherlock refused!And then changed a photo of a woman... Fuck, she doesn't even have a photo, let alone a photo with Sherlock!

At this moment, John leaned over and whispered to Sherlock who was rubbing his ears: "It's terrible for a woman to be jealous."

"I hear you, Watson." Jenny glanced over.John immediately sat upright.

"I've decided." Jenny said suddenly, "I found out that I don't have a photo of myself yet, I'm going to a photo studio to take one." Jenny knew it was a bit silly to do this, but... who cares Woolen cloth!If you don't understand this guy Sherlock, he won't understand.

Sherlock was a little silly, he didn't understand why Jenny would suddenly want to take a picture, but he understood the warning in Jenny's glance at him immediately.

"That's a good idea." Sherlock heard himself say, "Well... when?" Seeing the weird expressions on the two people's faces, Sherlock felt the need to explain his position: "Do you want me to accompany you?"

Jenny: "..."

John: "..."

This guy doesn't understand at all! !

Jenny just said in a fit of anger that she was going to take pictures, but she quickly put it behind her. Now her most important thing is to rush out the wedding dress, which will probably take at least ten or twenty days.

But Sherlock took it seriously. Although he never liked taking pictures, if he had the opportunity to take a photo with Jenny...it would be a great commemoration...but he still had to consider the issue of a secret marriage, so he decided to take a photo with Jenny himself. How about getting a camera?Not Jenny's little camera, of course, but the one that needs a stand.

Sherlock waited for another week, but he didn't see Jenny mentioning the photo again. Finally, at lunch one day, he couldn't help asking Jenny about it.

"I remember you said you were going to take pictures, um, what do you plan to do and have time?" Sherlock wiped the corner of his mouth, put down the napkin and asked.

Jenny didn't realize what she said at first, she blinked, "Take a picture?"

"Yes, didn't you say to go to the photo studio? Well... I think it's a good idea, but I can..."

"Where did you put that picture of Mrs. Irene?"

Sherlock was stunned for a moment. He didn't quite understand what this had to do with Irene Adler, but he still replied honestly, "What's wrong in the drawer of the bookcase on the second floor?"

"It's nothing." Seeing Sherlock's appearance, Jenny knew that he was confused again. "I just think that the photography skills are good."

"I'm afraid I can't invite anyone, I think he is for the king of Bohemia." Sherlock thought he had a brilliant idea, "What do you think of this idea. We can go to the suburbs with a camera by ourselves For a few days, I can take a photo of you, in the yard or in the room, or even in the forest. We can also take a photo together... well, maybe you will want one."

This proposal is good, and Jenny is a little moved... But it's not the same, she still has a lot of work to do.The surprise on Jenny's face flashed, and then collapsed again. Sherlock immediately understood her concerns, "We can wait until your work is over before going."

"Really?" Jenny immediately became happy again, "Then it's settled, by the way, can you take pictures?"

"Well, of course, although it looks complicated, it's actually very simple. Yes, it's not as difficult as you think."

"Really?" Jenny was slightly puzzled, "Okay, I'll leave this to you, dear Mr. Holmes~~"

Sherlock decided to practice taking pictures first while Jenny hadn't finished her work.

With a goal, the boring work suddenly became a lot more interesting, but Jenny didn't pay attention to Sherlock's frequent outings recently.

Another person who is very concerned about the progress of the wedding dress is naturally Bruce Willie. He comes to Baker Street several times a month. Apart from eating, he is looking for Sherlock to handle the case and care about the progress of the wedding dress by the way.Because the embroidery studio is on the third floor, Bruce Willy can only ask about it when he sees Jenny.

At noon, Bruce Willie came to visit 221b.

"Hi, Mrs. Hudson." Bruce Willie said hello to Jenny, taking off his hat.

"It just so happened, sir, let's eat here. I made a whole braised goose today. Can you smell it?" Jenny greeted.

Bruce Willie took a breath, but there was no need to do so, the smell of marinade in the air could not be ignored. "I ate so much at noon? It seems that my luck is really good today." He said.

"Exactly." Jenny replied with a smile, "but if you are looking for Mr. Holmes, he is on the second floor."

"Ok."

Bruce Willie walked to the stairs, suddenly turned around and hesitated to speak.

"How about we talk after dinner?" Jenny knew what he was going to ask.

"Very good." Bruce Willy nodded and went upstairs.

The stewed goose in the pot was being tasted for the last time. Jenny turned the goose over with chopsticks, and was careful not to puncture the cloth bag containing all kinds of big ingredients. Recently, the price of seasonings from the East has dropped, and Jenny bought a lot.

The goose has been boiled for two hours, turning it an attractive golden brown inside and out, and the brine is filled with coarse sugar, which not only adds layers of flavor, but also brightens the color of the goose.

Jenny also puts a dried chilli from India in it.Not very spicy, but just right, it will make you feel like seeing a veiled beauty in the forest mist in the early morning, and you have not fully recognized her true face, but she has drifted away, tempting You follow.

Finally, the stewed goose was picked up and placed in a colander to cool down. It would be cut into slices and served on the table. It was supposed to be topped with marinade, but Jenny still made a sweet and sour noodle sauce for everyone to eat with it.

The soup is thick bean soup, soybeans, mung beans, and red beans. It is best to drink this when it is hot. Jenny removes the floating bean skins while cooking until the beans are boiled into sand.Jenny didn't season it, but put a sugar shaker and a salt shaker directly on the table. If you like sweetness, put sugar, and if you like salty, put salt.

The bread is a fresh milk bun this morning.The salad was crisp and tasty with lettuce and chicken.

The dessert is salty instead. The boiled and filtered pork skin soup is like clear water. It is poured into a small bowl while it is hot, and a pickled rose is placed inside.After staying overnight, the pork rind jelly was turned upside down on the plate in a quivering semicircle with a tiny rose inside.

"Oh, this is really unbearable." Bruce Willie sighed, holding a spoon.

"Don't eat it if you can't bear it." Sherlock went down with a spoon, just in time to split the jelly in half from the rose.

Every time Bruce Willy came to eat, Sherlock felt very uncomfortable.Not only because Jenny smiles every time she talks to Bruce Willy, but most importantly!That guy eats a lot!Right, that is it.

"How about that, even if you miss the New Year's Mass, you can't miss Mrs. Hudson's craftsmanship." Bruce Willie touched the jelly with his elegant spoon, and the jelly trembled tremblingly, "It's so cute. Even the king The royal cook is no match for you, Mrs. Hudson."

Sherlock: From a man's point of view, I'm pretty sure this guy is thinking dirty things.

"You're exaggerating." Jenny was elated by the praise, but what made her even more happy was the clean bones everyone licked. "If I didn't know that you didn't lack this, I would have wanted you to pack a whole goose leg back."

"I don't mind at all." Bruce Willy said quickly, wiping his mouth.Jenny really asked Fantine to wrap a whole goose leg in oiled paper, ready to be taken away by Bruce Willy when he left.

Sherlock was very upset.

After dinner, Bruce Willy routinely asked about the progress of the wedding dress, and Jenny told him, "I'm almost done with this part."

"Uh, um, what? Your part?" Bruce Willie hadn't heard this expression before, and he asked strangely: "Is there any other part?"

"Of course." Knowing that Bruce Willy didn't quite understand, Jenny explained to him.

Because of the heavy workload this time, Jenny and Tom divided the entire wedding dress into upper and lower parts.

The upper body is entirely made up of white and beige lace and satin, and Tom will be responsible for completing this part.The skirt of the lower body is very complicated. The innermost layer is made of silver-white silk and satin, and the outer layer is made of seven layers of transparent tulle with different hardness to form a flower bud. On each layer of tulle, there are rice-white and rice-red threads mixed with silver Roses of different sizes are embroidered on the thread, and the largest and most complicated rose on the outermost layer is Jenny's task.In addition, Jenny is also responsible for the production of the veil, which is the most important thing. Not only must it be bordered with lace, but also more than 100 small roses must be embroidered with silver thread in a radial pattern from the top of the head to the end.

Because there were too many skirts and the family was not short of money, Tom simply cut each layer of tulle in advance, and gave them to Jenny and other embroiderers to embroider at the same time.Except that the tulle on Jenny's layer is very complicated to embroider, the stitches on the other six layers are very simple, even ordinary embroiderers can do it.

After everyone is embroidered, Tom sews each layer and the upper body in order. After the final adjustment, the bride is also satisfied with the trial, and then sews pearls and gemstones of various colors onto the wedding dress.

They will use a lot of pearls this time. Every rose on the wedding dress will have a stamen made of half a small pearl, and every petal of the big rose that Jenny embroidered will have a circle of small beads bordering it.Tom is also going to use the realistic silk flowers that Jenny is good at on the front part of the wedding dress to cover up the bride's... some regrettable curves.

"So that's the case. I'm really looking forward to this wedding." Bruce Willy squinted his eyes and touched his chin.Although he had seen the design drawings of the wedding dress, he didn't know that it was so complicated to make.

"Hey, are you talking about this ceremony of combining government and money? I think this marriage will bring you enough benefits to allow you to get a seat in a certain congressman in the future, isn't it?" Sherlock leaned on sneered on the back of the chair.

"Oh, Holmes! How can you say that?" How embarrassing it is to tell the truth!

"It's okay, Mrs. Hudson." Bruce Willie didn't take it seriously, "Mr. Holmes is not wrong. It is inevitable to marry for the sake of profit. This is almost the duty of every nobleman. But I think I still have something else to look forward to from this marriage." His flamboyant face almost blinded the eyes of everyone present, Sherlock and Jenny.

"Know what else I see in this marriage, Mrs. Hudson." Sherlock turned to Jenny.

"What, sir?" Jenny asked cooperatively.

"The safety of the young women in London seems to be guaranteed now, and their husbands have kept the color of their hats." Sherlock replied with a smirk.

Jenny almost laughed.
