[Sherlock Holmes] Captured a detective

Chapter 62

"Look who this is?" Tom jumped up and shouted exaggeratedly, "Go and get Mrs. Hudson's things, lazy guy." Tom kicked his little apprentice and told him to bring Jenny. The box moved in. "How is it?" Tom leaned in front of Jenny, blinking his eyes.Jenny couldn't help reaching out and stroking Tom's yellow hair.

"Hey! You messed up my hairstyle." Tom straightened up dissatisfied and straightened his hair.

"Is Ellie there?" Jenny asked, ignoring Tom, as she took off her gloves and cloak.

"Upstairs, dear Jenny..."

"Then I'll go to her, Tom, my friend, and I'll leave these clothes to you."

"Jenny~~~~" Tom said bitterly, "Can't I listen~~~"

Jenny chuckled, "This is a date between ladies, Tom, how about being a man?"

When it comes to sensitive topics, Tom immediately frowned, "How can I not be a man?!"

Jenny was noncommittal about this, she smiled slightly, and floated upstairs.

Tom: "...what are you looking at, why don't you go to work!" He yelled at the clerk who was secretly watching.

"Jenny, dear, you're here." Ellie stood up and kissed Jenny. Jenny put the basket in her hand on the table, and took out two bottles and a box. "Gifts, I made them myself, sour fruit, and candies."

"You're always so polite." Even so, Ellie accepted the gift unceremoniously. A fool would refuse the delicious food made by Jenny herself.

Ai Li asked the maid to pour tea, took Jenny to sit down by herself, skipped the greetings, and asked impatiently: "Quick, Jenny, dear, tell me quickly. What noble people have you met? And the prom, did you dance with anyone? Oh my god, it's exciting to think about."

"Hey, it's not as good as you think." Jenny deliberately pretended to be indifferent, "I don't know anyone, who would invite me to a widow to dance?"

"Ah..." Ally cried out in disappointment.

"You started without waiting for me?" The maid didn't come up, but Tom brought the tea himself.

"Why are you here? Don't you need to look at the business?"

"You don't even smell it." Tom rolled his eyes, "London is getting worse and worse, it smells so bad every time it rains heavily, which lady would come out...to buy clothes at such a time Huh?" Luckily I tactfully stopped, Tom thought.He quickly jumped to sit next to Allie, held Allie's hand and kissed it, and said to Jenny, "Where did you just talk?"

"It's just the beginning." Jenny gave Tom a sideways look, "You didn't miss a bit."

"Great." Tom cheered cheekily, "Then continue quickly."

"I have attended two balls... Wearing our dress, don't worry, I see that many ladies are interested in our dress." This alone is not in vain, and Tom suddenly has a count in his mind.

"You're not...not..."

"The Marchioness of Beveridge."

"Yes, was the Marchioness of Beveridge invited? Thanks Tom. Didn't she introduce you to a partner?"

"You're welcome dear."

"The Marchioness of Beveridge has no such obligation." Jenny didn't mind this, and it was normal for her to say it.

"So who are the grown-ups you've met?" Tom asked another key question.

This was not a problem. Although Jenny didn't come forward to talk to her, she could always find out who was there by asking the servants.

After mentioning the names of several wives, Jenny said deliberately mysteriously: "I also met a big man, guess who it is?"

"Who is it?" Ellie asked excitedly, without any intention of guessing.

"Oh, you're boring, Ellie. Well, think whose castle I went to." Jenny pretended to be annoyed.

Tom and Ellie looked at each other with their mouths wide open, their faces full of excitement.

"The Duke of Windsor!"

"Hehe, yes." Jenny smiled smugly, "The Duke is really majestic and kind. He brought many adults over... Oh~ he even called me Mrs. Hudson."

"My God, Jenny, you are so happy." Tom and Ellie shouted in unison.

Jenny chatted and gossiped for two and a half hours in Tom's shop, accepted the repeated "interrogation" by Tom and his wife, and was forced to recall the decoration in the bedroom at that time, and was released by the satisfied Tom Walk.

After getting on the carriage for the return journey, Jenny breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't want to come to Tom's place again for a short time...

"Ah!" Tom, who was still discussing with his wife in the store, suddenly screamed, "I forgot to work for Jenny!"

Jenny did not go back immediately, but went to the stock exchange first. Most of her money was used to buy 221b, and the rest of the spare money was invested in stocks, mainly the East India Company and another textile company.However, after what happened at Windsor Castle, Jenny suddenly had a feeling that a relatively large war might happen in Europe in the future. She didn't know it very well. Earned 221b.

Now Jenny decides to sell her textile company's stock and buy a steel company's stock, which one... She still needs to research with her advisor.

After making an appointment with her consultant, Jenny just returned home.She heard the sound of a violin on the second floor before entering the door. It seemed that Mr. Holmes had great ambitions for this trip to Europe.

"Good day, Mrs. Hudson." Jenny was not the only one who was listening to the sound of the violin slowly. The tenant, Mr. Black, stood at the door next door and said hello to Jenny in a low voice.He seemed particularly uncomfortable with the smell of London, and covered his face with a scarf in the sun.

"Mr. Black, good day." Jenny nodded and asked directly, "Do you like yogurt pudding? I made a lot of yogurt yesterday."

Blake's eyes lit up, and he pulled down the scarf and asked, "Did you add raisins?" After speaking, he immediately pulled up the scarf.

Jenny almost laughed at him, "Yes, with raisins."

Blake blinked. "I like it very much, Mrs. Hudson."

With food, Black didn't continue to stand at the door and listen to Sherlock playing the violin.

Jenny walked into 221b, took off her cloak and gloves, and put the basket on the table.

"Fantine, is everything ready for lunch?"

"Yes, Mrs. Hudson." Yesterday they had roughly discussed today's menu. The staple food at noon was potato cakes. Fantine had already peeled potatoes and made them into mashed potatoes.

"Is the yogurt you made yesterday ready? Let's make some yogurt pudding. Mr. Black next door is waiting." Jenny couldn't help smiling when she thought of Black's bright eyes.

"Of course." Fantine opened the lid of the large pot placed in the corner, and a sour smell of yogurt immediately hit her face, she shook the pot slightly to check the solidification of the yogurt, "It should be ready, do you want to try the taste? "

"Okay, it's just a little hot, give me a small bowl, add honey." Jenny took out the honey jar.

Fantine filled a small bowl with half a bowl of yogurt and handed it to Jenny. Jenny added a spoonful of honey, stirred it, and put a spoonful into her mouth.Eating a bowl of yogurt on a hot day feels very comforting.

"Is it delicious, Mrs. Hudson?" Cosette looked at Jenny eagerly.

"Cosette!" Fantine exclaimed accusingly, so shamelessly.

"It's okay, Fantine, it's quite sour. I need to add more sugar. Let Cosette also have a bowl and pour some strawberry jam. Dig half of it later to make yogurt pudding, and send some to the neighbor."

After Jenny ate a few bites, she brought out another bowl of yogurt, then took out the box of dried fruit, put some raisins and crushed peanuts on the yogurt, scooped a spoonful of strawberry jam and poured it on top.

"Take it to Mr. Holmes to taste," said Jenny to Fantine.

"Let me go." Cosette quickly put down the bowl and raised her hand.

"Okay." Jenny would not discourage the little girl's enthusiasm, she put the bowl on a small wooden plate, and Cosette carried the plate carefully and went upstairs.

Soon the sound of the violin on the second floor stopped, but Cosette did not come downstairs. She was quite patient when Sherlock was in a good mood, and Cosette had no awe of Sherlock. Sometimes the two of them We were able to talk quite well.

Jenny and Fantine were not making pudding right away, the most important thing now was lunch.Jenny asked Fantine to cut up some mashed meat, added water to the mashed meat, mashed potatoes and flour and stirred them into a paste, adjusted the seasoning, and baked the paste into pancakes.Soon a large bowl of mush turned into a stack of pancakes, and Jenny cut the pancakes into four pieces while it was still hot.Fantine made a big salad with vegetables and jelly.

Jenny put some meat floss in a small bowl, and a simple lunch was ready. She asked Fantine to deliver it to Sherlock, and she found a clean box and put the rest of the meat floss in it.Meat floss has no weight, and it doesn't take up much space when pressed.After placing the meat floss box, there was still some empty space. Jenny dug out the biscuit box and found a few biscuits to press on the meat floss.

Jenny tore a little meat floss and put it in her mouth. Well, it tastes good. I will buy some meat for myself tomorrow.

"Er... ma'am," said Fantine hesitantly when she got down.

"what?"

"I think you should go see the second floor..."

"What happened? Well, I'll collect the tableware after dinner."

After dinner, the violin sounded again on the second floor. Fantine continued to wash the pile of clothes, and Jenny went to the second floor to collect the tableware.

"Mr. Holmes!" The room full of "garbage" was horrible, and Sherlock was standing on the cleanest space by the window, playing the violin leisurely.

The sound of the harp in Sherlock's hand suddenly changed, but he didn't stop, he just signaled with his eyes: "What's the matter?"

Jenny grinds her teeth, you're leaving tomorrow and you're making trouble for me... It's no use pretending to be cute!
