[Sherlock Holmes] Captured a detective

Chapter 50

Bruce Willie definitely didn't come to read books. He ran to the window to look outside, found something to chat with Jenny to tease her, and walked around in front of the bookshelves... If he was ten years younger, he probably Just a bear kid with ADHD - the Duke of Windsor has worked hard on you.

There is a special skill to deal with this kind of bear child Jenny, that is: ignore you!

Sure enough, seeing that Jenny kept her head down and read a book no matter how teased she was, Bruce Willy soon left bored.

Jenny raised her head and breathed a sigh of relief.Bruce Willie's character and appearance are top-notch, but it's a pity that he is a member of the royal family, and more importantly, he is a man... It's better for me to stay away, little widow.

Another half an hour later, when Jenny had almost finished reading the "Origin of Species", Bruce Willy suddenly came back.He sat down next to Jenny at once, and put his hand on the backrest behind Jenny.

"Mrs. Hudson, oh my god, I knew you were still here, look, you almost missed the news..." Bruce Willy didn't say anything at all until he saw Jenny With a forbearance of "I'm going to beat you if I don't talk about the main point", Bruce Willy said: "The Duke of Windsor is back, and there will be a grand ball for him tonight. You will attend, right?"

Jenny's first reaction to the news wasn't "Wow, there's finally a dance." It was…

"Has the matter been resolved?" Jenny's mind suddenly turned away.It only took one day to stabilize the situation, which means that the matter was resolved very simply. Maybe the night before yesterday was a pre-set trap to hang out certain people, such as the doctor.This is probably what Holmes was doing some time ago, right?

However, Jenny felt that her appearance could only be regarded as handsome, her personality was very ordinary and had no special characteristics, and her family background... There was no need to beat yourself up. Therefore, there is only one possibility that Viscount Bruce Willie treats her so favorably.

"Mr. Bruce Willie, if the Duke of Windsor trusts Mr. Holmes, and Holmes trusts me, I think you can trust me too. I will keep my mouth shut about what happened the night before, and I may soon forget it. If you don't remind me again and again words." There are some things that Jenny thinks it's better to be straightforward, and beating around the bush is really not her style.

Bruce Willie: ...although she's telling the truth...how did she get her brains from the ball to this matter?

Because this matter is of great importance, and if it is not handled properly, it may cause international incidents, so Bruce Willy will monitor Jenny nearby, so that she will not "unintentionally" reveal what she knows during this period of time.Now that the lady has spoken first, Bruce Willy is not pretentious, and his expression suddenly becomes very serious.

"Since you are so sensible, I naturally believe you." Bruce Willy stood up and was about to leave, and then seemed to suddenly remember, "Just say it." He lowered his body to Jenny's ear, lowered his voice, As if whispering in Jenny's ear: "I'm looking forward to seeing you at the ball tonight."

Amidst Jenny's blushing, Bruce Willy walked away with a smile.

Jenny was a little crazy, she couldn't control her instincts! ! !

Damn Bruce Willie!Jenny thought angrily, at first she thought he was in the style of "I'm a dandy, I'm afraid of whom", and then suddenly turned into a crazy, cool and domineering line. Just when he thought he was a decent person, he seemed to be a sunny loyal dog. Unexpectedly, this is a false appearance at all, his real face should be Doubi Youth! !Just like that, he is still a colonel. How did he climb up there?By being stupid?

Throw Bruce Willie left and right in his heart, front somersault and press the top, the embroidery needle "I poke poke poke poke", the brick "ah da da da da", the whip "papa!"...Okay, finally comfortable Cool, Jenny went to find Mrs. Beveridge.

The Marchioness of Beveridge was certainly well informed.It was only four o'clock in the afternoon, but the ladies who knew about the dance had already rushed back to their rooms to prepare.

"Just this one." The Marchioness of Beveridge asked Jenny: "I made a special set of jewelry according to your suggestion, my dear, you are really a genius in this regard."

"Thank you for your compliment. I can't help but be proud of you." Jenny smiled and helped Marquis Beveridge put on her clothes and jewelry, and also helped her comb a bun to match.

"It's so beautiful, ma'am, it feels very exotic." Mary complimented on the side.

The Marchioness of Beveridge was also very satisfied.

Britain's successive battles in the east not only brought back a large amount of treasure, but also brought back the exotic oriental upsurge.

She had already asked Jenny to make this dress in winter. The poplin dress in the color of willow leaves shimmers slightly, which fits the theme of spring very well.The Marchioness of Beveridge has a proud capital, so her clothes have always been V-neck, uh... everyone understands it.But this dress Jenny insisted on using a one-line collar, highlighting the beautiful collarbone of the Marchioness of Beveridge, and the sleeves on both sides were not puff sleeves, but wide ruffled sleeves made of folded taffeta of the same color .

The wide diamond-shaped belt at the waist is very eye-catching, with a water lily embroidered on the front, and the leaves and branches extend to both sides of the belt, making Mrs. Beveridge have a slender waist.

The skirt under the belt was finely folded into [-] pleats (specially noted, this is not a steamed bun!), and irregular leaf patterns were embroidered on the skirt with golden silk thread, making it even more elegant.

To match this oriental dress, the Marchioness of Beveridge specially used a hairpin from an ancient oriental country given to her by the Duke of Windsor.

When Jenny first saw this hairpin, she couldn't help being stunned. This enamel-colored hairpin is extremely exquisite. The whole hairpin is made of gilt technology. It is shaped like a peacock. Three gold threads hang from the peacock's beak. There are three drop-shaped rubies, which must have been the favorite of an oriental lady.Although Jenny knew that there was no Daqing Dynasty in that ancient eastern country, seeing such a thing in the dressing box of a western nobleman still made her feel a little emotional.

Made a bun for the Marchioness of Beveridge, Jenny carefully inserted the hairpin into her hair, because this hairpin is very gorgeous, so there is no need for other hair accessories to match, Jenny Only the bangs on the forehead of the Marchioness of Beveridge were combed into a heart shape, showing exquisiteness.

Although the hairpin is dazzling, there are also many other jewelry.The Marchioness of Beveridge chose a diamond necklace that hangs just below her collarbone, a pair of diamond earrings on her ears, and a broken diamond bracelet outside her gloves.Finally Mary took out several bottles of perfume and let the Marchioness of Beveridge choose.

After dressing up, the Marchioness of Beveridge stood in front of the mirror and looked around, extremely satisfied.

In order to keep the mystery, the Marquis of Beveridge did not go to the hall to eat, but ordered dinner to be served in the room. In fact, several ladies did this in order to have more time to dress up.

After tidying up the Marquis of Beveridge, Jenny had the chance to return to her room and start preparing.

It was said to be preparations, but in fact it was nothing more than combing her hair again and changing into a skirt that had been prepared in advance.The style of the skirt is very simple, it is made of silver-white fabric, and it also has a wide belt with a thin silver chain on it.

The emphasis of the skirt is on the back.On Jenny's back, starting from the neckline of the skirt, there is a moiré about a palm's width, embroidered with bright yellow and silver double-strand silk thread.The cloud pattern gradually widens from under the belt to the skirt in a slight A-shape.

Jenny did buy some jewellery, though, and she wore a pearl barrette for her hair, and a pair of pearl earrings and a pearl necklace.In this way, in front of a group of aristocratic wives and ladies who are competing for beauty, they will not look too poor, and they will not steal anyone's limelight.

When Jenny walked into the hall with the Marchioness of Beveridge in costume, there were already many people there, and no one was dancing on the dance floor, but the music had already started.A small symphony orchestra sat on a class platform and was playing a minuet.

There were many stools, couches and armchairs around the dance floor, and there were a lot of cakes, puddings, chocolates and wine on a long table against the wall, but few people ate them.

Sure enough, people's eyes were all focused on the Marchioness of Beveridge, and no one paid any attention to Jenny.

"There are a lot of good guys, my dear, don't be reserved." The Marchioness of Beveridge covered her mouth with a fan and said to Jenny with a smile.

Jenny smiled: Hehe...

The Marchioness of Beveridge didn't need Jenny's answer, she swayed to the circle of noble ladies, and this season's popularity will be dominated by her.

Jenny, who was too late to eat dinner, walked directly to an empty corner beside the long table, and slowly sipped a glass of champagne.

Just kidding, there are a lot of good guys, but why do they let the beautiful and lovely unmarried noble ladies not to please, come to dance with her?Although she came here with a mission, but if she had to put on a shy face to curry favor with those wives and ladies...the concubine couldn't do it~~

She is a little widow with no money, no looks and no identity, so she should be her wallflower here honestly, just to taste the snacks she couldn't eat.

Just after the people in the hall greeted each other, the Duke of Windsor walked in through another door with a few of his confidants.Jenny was probably the first to see them, Bruce Willie walked behind the Duke of Windsor, but Jenny didn't see Sherlock.But think about it, how could Sherlock appear on such an occasion?

All the people immediately stopped what they were talking about, put down their wine glasses, closed their fans, and saluted the Duke of Windsor.

The Duke of Windsor cried out, he paused slightly when he glanced at the Marchioness of Beveridge, and then turned to it immediately.Immediately a waiter brought a glass of wine. The Duke of Windsor picked up a glass of wine and said to everyone: "You are not invited here for any national event, just for fun, don't be reserved." It's rather rigid, but it seems that everyone is used to it.

"For the health of Her Majesty the Queen." The Duke of Windsor raised his glass.

"For the health of Her Majesty the Queen." Everyone agreed together.

After finishing the opening remarks, the atmosphere relaxed and the music started again.
