[Sherlock Holmes] Captured a detective

Chapter 82

"Of course we need to get married, and as soon as possible." To avoid long nights and dreams, "The longer we delay, the easier it is to be noticed. Why don't we take advantage of this time to attend Mr. Darcy's wedding and hold a ceremony." Sherlock had long thought alright. "There is a small town about two and a half hours away from Pemberley Manor. We can stay there for a day in the name of rest. If you don't mind, I will make an appointment with a priest in advance." Sherlock's eyes gleamed Looking at Jenny, "Watson will go with us, just to be a witness."

"What about the other Witness?" Jenny asked.

"Mycroft will go there and wait for us in advance." Sherlock had a well-thought-out plan and had planned it long ago.

Jenny silently drew some wax for Mycroft.As a nerd, Mycroft, who was too lazy to prove it even if he was mistaken for a mistake, was dragged out of London by Sherlock this time. What a tragedy... But then again, he is really a nerd , it’s good to go out for a walk once in a while~

Because she had already accepted the fact of the secret marriage before, Jenny felt that such an arrangement was very appropriate. She was about to nod to express that she had no objection, but suddenly thought of a problem. "But time is so tight, what should I do with my dress?"

Sherlock felt a little incomprehensible, saying that you can even accept a secret marriage, but you are entangled in the wedding dress?Is it a bit of putting the cart before the horse?

Sherlock still underestimated how much a woman attaches importance to "beauty", especially at such an important moment, but he is not completely hopeless, so he immediately said: "Tomorrow I can go shopping with you .”

Unexpectedly, Jenny refused straight away, "How can I buy ready-made dresses for such an important dress?" Besides, she is the one with the best craftsmanship, so why buy someone else's?

"I'm going to buy some materials tomorrow and come back to do it myself. Although it may be a bit rushed, I won't miss the time."

Sherlock couldn't deny it, and honestly, he didn't think such things were important at all.But since Jenny seemed to value it, he didn't want to spoil the fun.

John was very surprised at the beginning that Sherlock and Jenny decided to marry secretly. After all, marriage is such a big thing that few people are willing to hide it.But he is not completely unaware that Sherlock has an opponent named Moriarty, so he can still understand the decision of Sherlock and Jenny.

"Well... Do I need to prepare anything? Oh, yes, I should give you a wedding gift... My God, Holmes, why are you just saying now!" John scratched his head dully, if it was Normally, he would never do this kind of... behavior.

"Don't be too nervous, Watson, it's just a ceremony, and you're just a supporting role." Standing in front of the fireplace, Sherlock picked up a coal and lit his pipe, then threw the coal back into the fireplace.

"It's just a ceremony?" John exclaimed strangely. "This is a very important life event, Holmes, can't you pay more attention to it? Oh, it's a miracle that Mrs. Hudson would agree to you. I thought everyone A woman is full of expectations for her own wedding, but look at you, a secret wedding, a simple ceremony, no flowers and wine, no guests, no wedding dress, no jewelry, not even a wedding cake..." John paused, As if frightened by the miserable world he described, "Are you really planning to get married?"

John was suddenly a little uncertain, maybe he was excited for a long time, and Sherlock would tell him tomorrow morning, in fact, what he said yesterday about marrying Mrs. Hudson was just a joke.

Being questioned by John, Sherlock felt a little uncomfortable. He said unconvinced: "Ha... I mean, Jenny has decided to make her own dresses, so there will be wedding dresses, and she doesn't want to buy ready-made ones. .Wine and flowers can be bought locally...we can bring our own wine if we want, oh yes, I happen to have a good bottle of wine that can come in handy. As for the rest...this was meant to be a secret wedding, remember? ?Only you and Mycroft know about this and are witnesses, so of course there can't be any big scenes."

"Oh, well, Holmes, then well, you are always right. As long as you and Mrs. Hudson have no objection." Of course John could not have any objection, he just sighed.

"Hmm." Sherlock coughed, "It will be Mrs. Holmes soon, um... I just hope you can get used to this address as soon as possible."

"Oh~" John raised his eyebrows, "You are right, Holmes, you are right. Mrs. Holmes, it sounds good. By the way, have I congratulated you? Congratulations, Holmes, you are finally free from being single. "

"Thank you." Sherlock accepted John's congratulations bluntly (satisfiedly).

The days that followed were hell.Jenny has been hiding on the third floor to catch up with work, and she even requisitioned Fantine.Sherlock and John seem to have returned to the time when Jenny was working when they first arrived in 221b.Better than then, now at least they don't have to eat dry bread.

Jenny didn't come down from the third floor until they discussed the time, bought the train tickets, and decided to leave the day after tomorrow.She looked very haggard, with two big dark circles on her face - she almost became the first bride to hang up to make her own wedding dress, in Sherlock's words, it was the cart before the horse - but finally finished.

"I've always wanted to have a perfect wedding... so there's a lot of inspiration, and it took me a lot of time to pick out the right one." Jenny's explanation blocked Sherlock's complaints, and he found that John was right, every Every woman is full of expectations for her own wedding, and Jenny is no exception, but she hides it very well, and this wedding dress is what she puts her expectations on - what else can he say?

Jenny had spent the day looking better and getting her luggage ready. After much deliberation, she decided not to take Fantine with her to Pemberley Manor, because of the inconvenience.

John went to pick up his fiancée early on the day of departure, and he made an appointment with Sherlock and Jenny to meet at the train station.At the train station, Jenny finally meets John's "legendary" fiancée.

Merry Meggins was a pretty girl in a gray traveling dress and a bonnet.Mei Li was about the same age as Jenny, but her expression revealed the innocence of a cardamom girl.She seemed to be in poor health, her complexion was sickly pale, but her demeanor was gentle and decent, showing that she had received a good education.

Probably due to poor health, Mei Li brought a female companion, which made her a little shy, because everyone else came alone, and Jenny also carried the luggage by herself, only her luggage was carried by John , it seemed that she couldn't do anything without people.

"Let me introduce you, Mrs. Hudson. This lady is Merry Meggins, and it's mine, huh, fiancée." John couldn't help grinning as he spoke, and it was obvious that he liked her very much. own future wife. "Merry, this is my landlady, Mrs. Jenny Hudson, and this is my best friend, Sherlock Holmes."

"Hello, Mr. Holmes, hello, Mrs. Hudson." Merry's voice was soft.

Sherlock nodded slightly, looking a little cold.Jenny was very curious about Mei Li, she smiled and said: "Good day, Miss Meggins, nice to meet you, Dr. Watson once mentioned you sweetly, I have wanted to know you for a long time."

Mei Li's face turned red immediately, no one had ever made such a "bold" joke with her, she was a little uncomfortable.

"Wh... what, when will I... well, Mrs. Hudson, you can't expose me like this." John also joked. "By the way." John turned sideways to introduce another lady, "Miss Hunter is Meili's tutor, and she will go with us this time."

Compared with Mei Li, Miss Hunter's appearance can only be regarded as handsome, and her physique is also taller than Mei Li. She is very clear about what her real responsibilities are, so she just silently stood behind Mei Li with a box, and when being introduced When I arrived, I just said "good day".

"Let's talk about the introduction on the train." Sherlock combined the basket and box in one hand, then took out his watch to check the time, "We'd better find the compartment quickly, so as not to be in a hurry What he said was very reasonable, so everyone unanimously decided to suspend the pleasantries and get in the car first.

The box was very close to the front, everyone walked for a while before they arrived, the soot was blown by the wind, Meili coughed softly, John immediately let her enter the box nervously, and arranged her to sit in the middle.After everyone was seated, John hurriedly closed all the windows and drew the curtains.

"I should have set a later position." Seeing that Meili couldn't stop coughing, John said angrily.

"Oh no, John, my health is too bad." Mei Li said softly.

"I was wondering... how about some tea?" Jenny asked.

Sherlock: ...

John: ...

Mei Li:?

Hunter: ==

"Oh, yes!" John finally noticed the familiar basket in Sherlock's hand, "Dear Mrs. Hudson, I knew you wouldn't forget this." He rubbed his hands excitedly.

Jenny opened her "treasure box", and the two ladies who had never seen each other were stunned for a moment - this big basket was full of all kinds of delicious things, and even a tea set... and the two Men seem to be used to this.

"If you hadn't just focused on other things, you would have figured it out... I keep mentioning this," Sherlock said sarcastically.

"I'm sorry, Holmes." John felt that it was indeed his fault.

"So in order to apologize, you go to find hot water." Sherlock asked without losing the opportunity.

John: "Okay."

By the time the train staggered towards Derbyshire, Sherlock and the others had already drank the rose tea made by Jenny herself.Although it wasn't long before we had breakfast, and everyone had no appetite to eat, a cup of hot fragrant tea also brought infinite fun to the trip.

Both Jenny and John are good at invigorating the atmosphere, and Mei Li also tried her best to blend into the conversation, and the three of them enjoyed themselves for a while.It was Sherlock and Miss Hunter, one took off the backrest and looked out through the gap in the curtains, the other took out a book from his pocket and began to read.

Today's journey is very long. They have to take the train all day, and they will arrive at the small town two and a half hours away from Pemberley Manor at about five o'clock in the afternoon. After that, they will stay there for one night to rest and eat After lunch, he took a carriage to Pemberley Manor.

And Sherlock scheduled the time for the church in the early morning of the next day, and there was still time to prepare after the ceremony.

After chatting for a while, Meili became a little tired, and everyone closed their eyes and rested.

Jenny silently thought about tomorrow's arrangements in her heart.In fact, she was very happy that Meili brought a female companion, which meant that she didn't have to spend the night in the same room with Meili, so she didn't have to worry about Meili finding out that she had sneaked out in her wedding dress the next day.

Sherlock was also thinking about tomorrow's arrangements.He will rest in the same room with John today, and tomorrow John will go to church to meet Mycroft first, and he will go with Jenny.After the ceremony is over, Jenny will officially become Mrs. Holmes...

Sherlock frowned slightly.
