[Sherlock Holmes] Captured a detective

Chapter 92

Although Jenny's idea before was to let Sherlock move to the third floor when he came back, but now she has changed her mind—no way, women are so fickle—she plans to make a whole set of clothes for Sherlock. For Christmas gifts, including hats, shirts, jackets, pants, gloves, scarves... except for shoes, and she has just made shirts, gloves and handkerchiefs, the task is still very difficult.

In fact, Jenny is also planning to make a new set for herself. She has a small idea, that is, the two of them can enter a new life with a new look.

Since it is a Christmas gift, of course it must be kept secret first.Jenny dealt with Sherlock on the pretext that she had to pick up work a few days ago and was rushing to work, and then used the excuse of helping Sherlock tidy up his room and clothes, and took the opportunity to measure the size of his pants and hat.She doesn't know if Sherlock has discovered anything, he has always been very indifferent, unless he wants to tell what he discovered, otherwise you don't know what he discovered at all.

While Jenny was starting to cut the suit, Fantine sent a letter out of the blue.

"Mine? Who sent it?" Jenny felt strange. Who would deliver the letter to her at this time?

"It's a child...it doesn't seem to have a postmark."

Jenny felt that the words on the letter looked familiar. She opened the envelope, and inside was a small invitation.

To dear Mrs. Holmes:

It would be my great honor if you could come to the White Pigeon Restaurant at 18:[-].

ps: This is an official invitation.

Yours, Sherlock Holmes

What the hell?

Jenny thought, Sherlock didn't want to date her... Hehe, it's really not something he did... But after accepting this setting, I feel a little excited~~~

"Fantine, Fantine," Jennifer yelled as she opened the door and stood on the stairs.

"What's the matter, Mrs. Hudson?" Fantine happened to be cleaning on the second floor.

"Are Mr. Holmes and Dr. Watson there?"

"No. Dr. Watson went out in the morning, and he said he would not come back for supper. Mr. Holmes went out after lunch, and he said nothing."

"Okay. I'm going out later, so I don't have to cook my dinner."

"Got it, Mrs. Hudson."

Jenny suppressed her "thumping" little heart, packed up the fabric that had just been cut, and skipped to choose clothes.

God, how can she not even have a dress to wear to a date!

Gold... overly demure.

The wine red...wouldn't it be too old-fashioned?

Ivory... oh no, those big puff sleeves are out.

Sky blue...wait a minute, this is a summer dress.

Gray blue...it doesn't feel too high-end.

In the end, Jenny chose a dark green corduroy dress with gold buttons, a black belt around the waist, and a black feather brooch. Jenny specially wore a diamond hairpin that matched the ring, and a cross necklace.

After tidying her hair in front of the mirror, Jenny brushed the lipstick on the back of her hand, and then touched her lips with her fingers. This way, the color was not only full, but also very natural, not at all like makeup. Effect.Finally, Jenny rubbed the remaining lipstick on the back of her hand, and rubbed her cheeks vigorously.

Jenny put on the camel fur collar coat, took a fluffy small bag, and walked down while wearing gloves.Fantine had already ordered the carriage.

"Thank you, Fantine."

"You're welcome, Mrs. Hudson."

The Dove is fine dining, but that still can't hide the fact that it's packed tonight.Jenny handed her coat to the waiter and reported her name, and the waiter quickly took her to a window seat.

Sherlock sat on the seat with his eyes closed, and kept tapping his fingers on the table. When Jenny came over, he immediately opened his eyes, stood up and pulled the chair away for her.

"Serve the food." Sherlock ordered, and when the waiter walked away, he said to Jenny, "Please forgive me for ordering food for you without authorization. In view of our later program, it is best to save some time."

"Any other shows? I'm kind of flattered."

"You don't need to be surprised, it's a matter of course."

"Of course I'm not surprised by that, on the contrary, I'm delighted. But, Sherlock, I don't think it's something you'd think of, a date? Oh, tell me, who inspired you?"

Sherlock made a quick expression, "Well, I must admit that although Watson came to wrong conclusions when encountering cases, he was also right when it came to other matters." He took advantage of the waiter's delivery of wine When I came here, I changed the subject, "The wine here is very ordinary, but the foie gras is very good, you should try it."

Uh... embarrassing, okay?

After the waiter left, Jenny whispered to Sherlock, "You shouldn't have said that in front of others."

"What? Are you talking about the wine?" Sherlock didn't care. "He won't care. The waiters here are used to customers complaining, but the boss never thought of changing the wine."

"..." Why did you bring me to such a weird store?

"The French dishes here are very famous, foie gras, caviar, lobster...but the wine is terrible, I think the boss must not like the French."

"why?"

"Because it is intolerable for a Frenchman not to have good wine."

"..." It was really weird.

Whether the owner is weird or not, the food here is really good.Although the portions of each dish were not very large, Sherlock ordered several dishes, and almost all of them were rarely eaten.Sherlock was also explaining besides, such as what is the growth condition of this matsutake, what other plants are in the same environment, its shoots are poisonous in spring, and its rhizomes in autumn are just the antidote...etc. .

Jenny said that she raised her posture.

Sherlock changed his posture, picked up the wine glass, raised his head and glanced around.Jenny felt that in Sherlock's eyes, the people at other tables probably had all kinds of "bringbring" labels on them, and they could see everything at a glance.

"See what?" Jenny couldn't help asking.

"Nothing, they're all boring guys." Sherlock wiped the corner of his mouth, "We are at the second table from the right, the couple looks very devoted, but unfortunately the girl doesn't know, the person sitting opposite her is an already married man."

When Jenny heard this, she quickly turned her head to look. The girl had her back turned to her, and she didn't see it, but the man had a loyal face... I really couldn't tell.

"I would like to hear more about it." Jenny also picked up the glass and took a sip.

"The man's clothes are very clean and ironed. It means that a woman is helping him take care of them. Of course, this doesn't mean anything. But the scarf he wears around his neck needs someone else to fold it. Yes." Sherlock made a gesture to demonstrate, "A woman who takes care of a man's daily life, and even helps him put on the scarf intimately, what else is her identity?"

Jenny: Scumbag!

"And that table over there, also a man and a woman, the one with the woman wearing a red dress." Sherlock raised his chin as a gesture.

"What's the matter with them?" Jenny glanced at it, and you can't see it from such a distance, the eyes are good~

"It's too far to see. But the man in the brown coat at the table next to them is watching them both."

"What?" Jenny glanced at the man who was carefully cutting the steak, completely unable to see that he was spying on others.

Sherlock picked a few more tables and told Jenny some small details that couldn't be seen from the surface. Jenny thought it was very interesting to hear Sherlock pick other people's thorns, but he didn't talk about himself, Sherlock was just gossip Sharp weapon, nothing can escape his sharp eyes~

The meal was pleasant, and Jenny put on her coat under Sherlock's attention, and helped him get into the carriage, but soon she discovered that their route was not towards Baker Street.

"Aren't you going back?" Jenny asked.

"The Royal Opera House is performing "Carmen". I thought you might be interested, so I took the liberty to book a box. But if you don't want to go..."

"want!"

In the dark carriage, only the street lamps flashed some light from time to time. In the flash of light, Jenny saw Sherlock showing a sincere but triumphant smile.

Jenny paused for a moment before remembering something. "Oh, you didn't say it earlier, or I wouldn't wear this dress." She said with a slight frown.Going to dinner is not the same thing as going to an opera. It’s just that if you’re eating, it’s a bit inappropriate to dress too gorgeously, but if you’re going to an opera, the dress now looks a bit..."simple".

Sherlock didn't understand these things at all. In his opinion, as long as he was wearing formal clothes, he was already in line with etiquette.

Jenny was quite speechless, but that was all she could do now.But at first, he thought he could have a good seat at most, but Sherlock actually got a box.

"It's great." Jenny took the binoculars that Sherlock handed over and looked towards the direction of the stage. "I thought the box must be hard to get. How did you do it, Sherlock?"

"It's really not easy, so I found some relationships, but the result is not bad, isn't it?" Sherlock said lightly.

"Don't just ignore it, it's really great." Jenny glanced at the nearby boxes by the way. Public places like this are often the place where gossip and gossip are produced, and Jenny couldn't avoid searching.

Although it is no longer the premiere, there are still some faces that usually only appear in newspapers in a few boxes on the opposite side.

"Is it okay for us to be like this?" Jenny suddenly thought, not only she can see others, but others can also see them.

"Who cares." Sherlock didn't care.

...That's right, the two of them are not high-society attention figures, maybe no one knows them.Jenny felt that she was thinking too much, and then she focused entirely on the stage.

"Carmen" is the last opera of the French composer Bizet. It was completed in the autumn of 1874, but it really became famous after Bizet's death.The identities of the characters in this play are generally considered to be low, such as female workers, soldiers of peasant origin, matadors...etc. accepted.

But a genius is a genius, and a classic is a classic. "Carmen" describes various emotions and desires such as love, lust, jealousy, hatred, etc., and there are a lot of dialogues in the play. aesthetic.

Moreover, "Carmen" has a tight melody, a dynamic rhythm, and gorgeous, compact, and fascinating music, so this opera was soon loved by the British.

Although Jenny is familiar with some of the songs, it is the first time that she has actually come to the theater to watch them completely, and she must not waste them~
