Chapter 53

Jenny, who was inexplicably fooled, was fooled by Sherlock to be his dance partner at the evening dance before she could react.The amount of information was a bit large, so that Jenny went back in a daze, and hadn't figured it out when she was called away by the Marchioness of Beveridge.

But as soon as she saw the Marchioness of Beveridge, Jenny simply let go of what happened just now.

These aristocrats are really full of energy. After riding outside for a whole day, they still have the strength to dance at night.

Of course, the Marchioness of Beveridge didn't ask Jenny to come because of the evening dance.

"Didn't you say you can't ride a horse? How about the coach I found for you?" The Marquis Beveridge blinked narrowly.

"Ma'am, I thought we had reached a consensus, but I didn't expect you to betray me in a blink of an eye." Jenny complained half-truthfully.

The Marchioness of Beveridge didn't take it seriously, and laughed.

So this is why it is impossible for Jenny to become friends with the Marchioness of Beveridge, and it is possible to have a super-friendly relationship with Bruce Willie.

Whether it is the Marchioness of Beveridge or Bruce Willie, they are actually spoiled.Although one of them seems to regard Jenny as a "British best friend", and the other seems to want to have a "Romeo and Juliet love" with Jenny, they are fundamentally not of the same class as Jenny, and they never They didn't treat Jenny equally in their hearts. In other words, they didn't take Jenny and her opinions seriously at all.

If you don't take people seriously, can you still expect them to treat you with heart and soul?

On the contrary, like the Duke of Windsor, he made it clear from the beginning: "I'm just superior to you, but I'm willing to show you respect." This is refreshing - it seems that Jiang is still old and spicy.

Of course, Jenny would not show her dislike, just be a client.While chatting, Jenny mentioned by the way that she was going to leave the day after tomorrow.Sure enough, the Marquise Beveridge didn't care, she just asked Jenny if she needed to find a car for her, and she didn't ask any more after she knew there was a car on the way.

Because of the dance in the evening, as usual, they ate in their rooms separately.Jenny felt very miserable. If there was a banquet for dinner, she could still have some delicious food in the kitchen. Now eating in the room... It's not as good as cooking it by herself.No way, everyone's focus is not on eating... As a hidden foodie, Jenny said Fakaisen.

After being informed that the dance would not start until 08:30, Jenny went to sleep for a while without any burden, then got up on time at eight o'clock, and finished herself in half an hour.And then... Sure enough, just as it was done, I heard someone knocking at the door.

Sherlock was taken aback when he saw Jenny who opened the door.Jenny sensed it immediately, "What? What's wrong?" She checked herself quickly, not sure what was wrong.

"No, no, very good." Sherlock held out his uninjured left hand.

"I thought there was something wrong." Jenny took her arm, and the two walked slowly towards the venue.

"Just a little surprised." Sherlock was wearing a formal tuxedo, his eyes were piercing, and he looked energetic.He never liked to use strong perfumes because "it would affect my judgment of smells." So Jenny could only smell the tobacco smell on Sherlock...much stronger than when they met in the afternoon.

"Smoking a lot is bad for your lungs, especially since we live in London," Jenny reminded her kindly.

"Please forgive me, Mrs. Hudson. After losing the comfort of cocaine, all I have left is tobacco leaves. You won't even deprive me of this little hobby?" Sherlock tilted his head slightly, As if joking, his eyes were on Jenny's head, but he couldn't help but wonder what kind of perfume she was wearing.

The last dress that Jenny brought was dark gold, folded several layers, it seemed that there was a mystery hidden inside, and it was full of luxury without other excessive decorations.Tragically, Jenny didn't have too much gold jewelry to match the dress, so she could only sprinkle some gold cents in her hair, which sparkled under the lights.

Beyond that is still the all-purpose pearl suit: Jenny makes a slight change to the bracelet in the pearl jewelry and clips it in her hair as a hair accessory, then the long bead chain, and Jenny wraps a white ribbon around a pearl on the right side of the necklace I made a ribbon flower, and the tasseled tassels just hang down below the neckline, which can be used as a feature of the necklace, and if you are not careful, it will be regarded as a corsage... Alas, the sorrow of the poor.

Jenny felt a little nervous when she saw Sherlock looking at her hair. She was afraid that some golden cents would float on her head... I hope Mr. Holmes is not allergic to golden cents...

When the two arrived at the venue, there were already many people here. The Duke of Windsor had already arrived, and there were always many people around him. At this time, some young people started dancing in twos and threes.

Sherlock glanced at the dance floor and saw Bruce Willy dancing with a lady in a white dress.

"Please wait for me a moment." Sherlock let go of Jenny's hand, following the rules that he should go to the owner here, the Duke of Windsor, to say hello.

"Of course." Jenny nodded, indicating that she understood.

After Sherlock left, Jenny looked around. It seemed that the Marchioness of Beveridge hadn't come yet, and Jenny was not familiar with the others. She stood by the crowd and looked around boredly, and locked her eyes on the place where the food was placed. on the long table.Just like last time, Jenny didn't want to show off. She walked to the long table and found that many of the food here were different from last time.

The barbecue meat is rolled up and skewered into small rolls with small toothpicks, just enough to eat in one bite.The fresh and tender lamb chops are sprinkled with cumin and arranged neatly.The smoked fish is served whole on an oval plate, with the flesh separated from the bones so that it can be enjoyed...  

There are also various salads and desserts, various wines and drinks...

Europeans are used to eating cold food, all food has lost heat, but still delicious.Jenny felt that the food on these plates was like the concubines and concubines waiting for Lin Xing, all of them were reaching out to her and saying, "Choose me, choose me~", and she is the emperor who is flipping the cards, The status of the concubines is determined in an understatement... baahahaha~

"The chef's craftsmanship here is commendable." Just as Jenny was concentrating on a plate of foie gras, Sherlock suddenly appeared behind her and said.

Jenny was startled, quickly put down the empty plate in her hand, wiped her mouth, and then asked, "What?"

"You seemed to have been eating at the last dance, maybe we, Watson and I have the opportunity to taste your cooking?" Sherlock said slowly to Jenny.

==...Damn it! Don't tell me I'm a foodie in your heart?

Jenny twitched her mouth, "I obviously didn't see you last time, Mr. Holmes, how did you know?"

Sherlock gave a smug smile and refused to answer the question.

Jenny felt like covering her face.

Jenny cleared her throat, and said with a broken jar, "There are quite a few that I haven't seen, but I can try them when I go back, and I have other inspirations, especially desserts... Speaking of which, it's time to eat bamboo shoots." It's time, there should be lotus root in a while..." Wait, what am I talking about!

Sherlock didn't think this topic was ridiculous. He studied the desserts on the long table seriously, then turned to Jenny and asked, "A sweet made from lotus root? Will it be very sweet?"

Jenny has discovered that Sherlock is actually a very fuzzy guy in some ways. He seems to like sweets, but he doesn't like the pure sweetness of sugar, and he doesn't like things that are too sweet. For example, he likes creamy fruitcake , but don't like hard candy, like milk eggnog, but not so much like pudding...

"It can be less sweet." Jenny said while thinking: Why are we talking about this at the dance?

Sherlock was quite satisfied with the answer. He took a critical look at the sweets on the table, picked up a tong with one hand, put a small cake on the plate, and handed it to Jenny: "Don't eat so many sweets, it's not good for your body." good."

Jenny took the plate dumbly.

Jenny: mb Don't think I don't know who stole the sesame crisps I hid last month.

Jenny ate the cake bitterly. In fact, she thought it was quite delicious...if it wasn't for a man watching her eat...qaq...stomachache!

Sherlock felt ashamed and patiently watched Jenny cut a small cake into eight pieces, and then slowly ate it bite by bite like a chicken pecking at rice.If it was normal, he would definitely have to speak harshly at Jenny's speed, but today he held back, he still remembered what that person said.

"Isn't that what women do? They always like to take their time. Of course, they call that elegance. It's a heinous crime for a man to be impatient."

"Don't believe women when they say they don't like proms, they go to proms to find a husband or to show off their jewellery, so don't believe what they say they don't like jewellery, gifts are never the answer."

"Women do like to do stupid things, but sometimes you have to show respect for their opinions, gentlemanly, ladies like this kind of man. But for you, the most important thing should be to control your mouth?"

"Hahaha, if she is willing to reject another man for you, maybe it's because she fell in love with you, hahaha..."

"Speaking of which, you suddenly want to know such a thing, Xiali..."

Sherlock pulled the neckline, seeing that Jenny finished eating the cake, he took the plate and put it on the table in a gentlemanly manner, and only after putting it down did he remember the "gentlemanly demeanor", so he asked: "Do you need another one, Mrs. Hudson? "

Jenny, who had her plate taken away, was taken aback. She shook her head, "No need."

Jenny thought Sherlock was so weird tonight, he felt like a normal man... it was horrible!

It's not that Sherlock is an abnormal man, but...is a Sherlock Holmes who is not arrogant, venomous, awkward, or whatever he wants is still Holmes?

Jenny: Could it be that Cocaine had corrupted Mr. Holmes's brain before I knew it?Or is it because he was so cute today that he was released without taking medicine?

If Sherlock knew that Jenny had a big brain, he probably wouldn't invite her to dance so calmly.

"I don't know if I'm honored?" Sherlock held out his hand.

Jenny is now sure that Sherlock didn't take the medicine, but took the wrong medicine (what the hell?) and was released.Probably because Jenny's expression was too weird, Sherlock didn't know what she meant, and felt a little suspicious.

After a suspicious pause for a second, Jenny decisively put her hand into Sherlock's.

"of course."
