[Sherlock Holmes] Captured a detective

Chapter 84

In this era, many men will treat their wives' dowry as their own property, or manage the property in their wives' hands after marriage. If you are a gentleman, you will probably let your wife manage it own property.

Sherlock has received the most traditional gentleman's education, but he is not a gentleman in the general sense, so although Jenny seems to be joking about charging double rent, he thinks it is very reasonable, after all, this is also regarded as his taking his wife's property .And he felt that since Jenny had the talent in this area, he might as well hand over his working capital to Jenny. Anyway, he still had the burden of "making money to support the family", and I believe Jenny would not refuse.

With the IQs of Jenny and Sherlock, they didn't attract anyone's attention when they returned to the hotel.By the time the last person who had finished breakfast, Merry, had packed up, Sherlock had gone to rent two carriages, and John had gone shopping around, bringing back a small bouquet of flowers for the ladies.

"Be careful, Merry dear." John helped Merry into the first carriage, he, Merry, and Miss Hunter would share one carriage, while Sherlock and Jenny would sit in the other carriage.

Mei Li felt a little sorry for letting Jenny and a man sit alone in a carriage, because it was not very polite, but the person concerned said that he didn't care, after all, this is not London, so don't care too much.

Soon everyone was attracted by the beautiful rural scenery on the road.

The carriage that Sherlock rented was open, and the weather was rare today, and the sun was not too glaring, but the ladies still reserved their parasols.Miss Hunter dutifully put a thin blanket on Mei Li's knees, and took out a large shawl from the luggage and handed it to Mei Li, so that she could keep out the wind.

Jenny felt that she hadn't been to the country for a long time, and every time she returned to London from the country, she felt extremely struggling... Oh, yes, she almost forgot that her husband, Mr. Holmes, happened to be in the suburbs of London now There is a small manor, and as long as time permits, she can live in the country at any time.

"Oh, look there, what a cute pony." Mei Li in front suddenly exclaimed in surprise, following the direction she was looking, there were two horses, one big and one small, grazing on the grass not far away. The passing carriages are used to it, but the pony is very novel when it sees the same kind passing by. It jumps around and wants to follow, but it stumbles a little uncoordinated, which makes it look cute.

Merry loved the pony very much, and kept looking at it until she couldn't see it anymore.I don't know what John said to her, Mei Li smiled softly and the two pecked each other lightly like a pair of birds.

Jenny, who was sitting in the carriage behind, somehow envied the couple in front for being so aboveboard.Suddenly Jenny felt Sherlock approaching, and Jenny turned her head, but Sherlock didn't look at her. He propped his head on one hand, stretched his long legs, and put his feet on the opposite seat in an imageless manner. But his right hand was on the seat, and Jenny moved her left from the handle of the umbrella to the chair, and Sherlock quickly covered it with his own.

Jenny pursed her lips and smiled, still looking into the distance.It seemed that there was a secret between the two of them, and they both tacitly kept silent.

The scenery along the way makes time pass quickly, and the original more than an hour's journey seems to have passed in an instant.When she got off the car at the gate of Pemberley Manor, Meili had already abandoned the scenery she had just seen, and was once again moved by the beauty of the manor.

"Welcome, Mr. Holmes, Dr. Watson." The host, Mr. Darcy, had already received the news and stood waiting at the door. "Welcome, Mrs. Hudson, Miss Meggins."

"Long time no see, Jenny." Georgiana stepped forward shyly to hold Jenny's hand, but she was a little timid with the two unfamiliar men in front of her.

"Good day." Sherlock held up his hat, "Also, congratulations, Mr. Darcy." The two tall, black-haired men who were equally expressionless stood together, and people thought "these two are indeed friends." a feeling of.

"Congratulations, Mr. Darcy." When John said the same sentence, he felt more sincere.

"Hello, Mr. Darcy. Georgiana, long time no see." Jenny smiled and stepped forward to hold Georgiana's hand, "You look good, it seems that it is a good thing to have an extra sister-in-law, right? "

"Yes." Georgiana smiled sincerely and happily.

"This is Dr. Watson's fiancée, Miss Merry Meggins. This is Miss Georgiana Darcy." As a person who both parties know, Jenny took on the responsibility of introduction.Because she didn't know her master, just now Meili just stood beside John with a smile.

"Hello."

"Hello."

The two girls, who also seldom see outsiders because of poor health, looked at each other and had a good impression of each other.

"Let's go in." Darcy called the servants to carry everyone's luggage, and then led the guests into the old manor.

"It feels like a brand new look." Jenny looked at the interior of the manor. Because the new hostess was about to move in, all the decorations here were polished and shiny, and some too old ornaments were replaced with more fashionable ones.

"Yes, my brother has fully considered my sister-in-law's hobbies." Georgiana said, and it was obvious that she liked this future sister-in-law very much.

Apparently, Jenny and her party were not the only guests who were invited and arrived early. After going up the stairs, a door in front suddenly opened, and the noise inside seemed to be released suddenly, bursting out suddenly.As the door opened, several women came out, talking loudly as they walked.

Jenny noticed that when Mr. Darcy and Georgiana saw them, to be precise, when they saw the oldest woman in the lead and the young woman who was holding her arm, they both frowned for a moment, although they It quickly returned to normal (I think), but Jenny, who had been paying attention to Georgiana, still found out.

"Oh, my God. Isn't this my lovely son-in-law, and Missy?" screamed Mrs. Bennet, the oldest woman, in an exaggerated tone.The young woman beside her, Lydia, giggled immediately, and she raised her hand to cover her mouth artificially, so as to show off the ring on her finger.The faces of the two oldest ladies standing behind suddenly became embarrassed.

"Good day, ma'am." Georgiana still bowed to Mrs. Bennet because of her childhood education, "Mrs. Bingley, sister-in-law." The latter two terms are much more natural.

Before anyone could speak, Mrs. Bennet called out immediately: "These two gentlemen are the guests who came from London specially to attend the wedding, right?" Looking at the clothes of Sherlock and John, "Can I ask what kind of work you two do?"

The future Mrs. Darcy, Elizabeth Bennet was almost ashamed to death. She gave Darcy a sorry look, took a step forward and grabbed Mrs. Bennet's arm, and begged in a low voice: "Oh, mom, you You can't be so rude in front of the guests..."

"I'm not being rude." Mrs. Bennet shook her hand unhappily, "Lizzy, you can't forget your unmarried sister just because you married such a good man as Mr. Darcy."

Elizabeth's face suddenly turned red, her eyes sparkled with anger, just when she couldn't help but say something, the oldest and most beautiful lady, Jane Bingley, immediately stepped forward to comfort her in a low voice own mother.

At this time, Darcy was no longer in the mood to introduce, he exchanged a glance with Elizabeth, and hurried Sherlock and the others to the guest room.

Jenny packed her things quickly, and as expected, a maid soon came up to ask if she had time.

Of course there is time.Jenny followed the maid to a small drawing room, where Georgiana was waiting for her.

"Jenny." Georgiana changed her excitement just now and greeted in frustration.Jenny pretended not to see Georgiana's bad mood, she sat opposite Georgiana, and then handed over the box in her hand: "Gift."

"What is it?" Georgiana opened the box curiously, and inside were some of the most popular gadgets in London, including hair ornaments and headbands made of silk flowers, belts woven with colorful ribbons, handkerchiefs embroidered with flowers, and a Pair of tulle gloves. "Oh my god, it's so beautiful, thank you Jenny, you are always so thoughtful." Georgiana immediately took out a hairpin with a small beige-colored rose on it, very cute.

Georgiana and Jenny have been in correspondence, and the two often send some small things to each other, so although Jenny sent a large box, Georgiana still accepted it habitually.

"Oh, but I didn't prepare a gift for you." Georgiana pouted angrily.

"Maybe... some chocolates? I've been looking forward to it for a long time." Georgiana said this in her letter last time, but Georgiana was not sure about sending food by post, so the two agreed to give it to Jenny after she came.

"Yes~" Georgiana said and was about to ring the bell for someone to fetch it, but she was stopped by Jenny.

"No hurry." Jenny knew that Georgiana was not looking for her for this. "Tell me about your new sister-in-law. I can't tell in the letter. I think you like her very much?"

"Oh, yes." Georgiana bit her lip. Her education as a lady made her unable to speak ill of others behind her back.But Jenny knows that even a simple and lovely girl like Georgiana needs to vent her anger, and her brother is really not a delicate person, and he is probably the type with low emotional intelligence to make up for after the event.

Jenny didn't know that her guess was very accurate. Whether it was the matter of Georgiana being cheated or the matter of proposing to his current wife, Darcy always seemed to be summing up experience from mistakes.

Under Jenny's encouraging eyes, Georgiana finally spoke out: "If I were to say that I like Mrs. Bennet and... Mrs. Wickham... I'm afraid it would be against my will." Jenny noticed that she said " Wickham" seems to be very difficult.

In fact, once it started, it was easier to say the rest, and Georgiana trusted Jenny, a friend who had an older female role in her heart.Although she only complained a few words, combined with the previous incident where Mr. Darcy came to ask for help, Jenny can probably understand the character traits of the women in the Bennet family.

Hearing this, Jenny couldn't help feeling sorry for the little girl in front of her... She hadn't realized how many things she would have to face in the future that she didn't want to face.

"Are you afraid of that man named Wickham?" Jenny thought for a while and asked tactfully. Even so, Georgiana still turned pale.Seeing this, Jenny was about to change the subject, but Georgiana leaned forward, held her hand, and said, "I...I want to talk about this, Jenny, I want to hear your opinion, I I want to solve this matter, but... no one can tell me what I should do." She seemed to have exhausted all her courage, "Even if I have to violate some principles, I don't want this matter to become a problem for my brother and sister-in-law in the future. hidden danger."

Jenny held Georgiana's hand back, looked at her anxious eyes and assured: "I swear I won't reveal this to a third person."

Georgiana seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. She intermittently told Jenny about being tricked into elopement by George Wickham. Although Darcy later found out and stopped her, it still became a part of her life. Stains and handles in .

Jenny's understanding of that Wickham dropped another level.How old was Georgiana? 13? 14?That man actually tried to ruin a little girl's future life for money.

"If possible, it's best to let that villain disappear from people's sight." Jenny said firmly.She didn't believe in that guy's character at all. I heard that he was still a gambler. Who knew if he would become a vampire attached to Georgiana when he was desperate?

Georgiana gasped, "No...no...Jenny..." She said with difficulty, "I never thought of letting him..."

"Where do you want to go." Jenny waved her hand funny, "I remember Mr. Darcy has a plantation overseas?" She will always remember this, when Sherlock brought John to invest together but left her (woman terrible memory), "Maybe he has a way of keeping that man out of England."

Georgiana patted her chest, feeling embarrassed about her horrible guess just now, but she still found it difficult to accept Jenny's suggestion.

"Why don't you find an opportunity to discuss it with Mr. Darcy? I think it would be better if he knows better how to deal with it." Jenny suggested again.

After thinking about it, Georgiana felt that what Jenny said was very reasonable.

If the biggest shadow buried deep in Georgiana's heart can be resolved, other people or things will be within the scope of Georgiana's acceptance, including Mrs. Bennet.
