[Comprehensive Classics] Detective Mary

Before Mr. Bennet said that Mary, like Mrs. Bennet, could not listen to people at all, and Mary was still upset.But now Mary couldn't help but start to think about it—how stubborn was she in order for her father to speak like her mother!

My mother is not only incapable of listening to people's words, she is being euphemistic to say that she is unreasonable. Well, this ability to take things out of context, I am afraid that all the truths in the world belong to Mrs. Bennet herself!

Mom's words were so shocking that Catherine and Lydia didn't know how to carry on with the play.

It was Mary who reacted the fastest. She cleared her throat in embarrassment: "Mom, Blackwood is a bad person through and through. If Mr. Holmes hadn't helped me, you might only have four daughters left now!"

Catherine added: "Yes, and Dr. Watson."

Mary: "My friends are all involved in tracking down the clues. Sir Blackwood has a good face, and he has no good intentions in approaching me."

Mrs. Bennet completely misinterpreted the script arranged by Mary, so she, the "director", had to do it herself and reveal some details of the case.

She didn't want her mother to know the details, anyway, Mrs. Bennet would not read the newspaper to get to the bottom of the process. The heroic policewomen in the 21st century will not tell their families about the risks they have taken, will they?It's not that Mary brazenly compares herself to a people's soldier who is fighting on the front line, but parents are the same all over the world, she just doesn't want her mother to worry.

Mary roughly talked about Blackwood's proposal to marry him because he wanted to harm himself.This finally calmed down the ecstatic mother a little.

This is thanks to Wickham.Lydia desperately confessed to a gambler first, and when she heard that Blackwood had other plans, Mrs. Bennet immediately showed a look of fear.

Mother stroked her chest one after another: "Oh, I just said it's not such a big deal. This man's heart is really vicious!"

However, the Bennet family has five daughters, and there are so many single ladies in the world who are smarter, prettier, and richer than Mary. No matter how bad Blackwood is, he is still a man with a title. He has seen There must be a lot of ladies, but Mary was chosen.

Does this prove that Mary does have the advantage of attracting men's attention that is different from other ladies?

Mrs. Bennet even drew a key point in her heart viciously: a man with a title.

"It's fine if you don't promise him."

Although it was a pity, Mrs. Bennet did not want to see her daughter lose her life.She was reluctant and regretful, and even put on a friendly gesture to comfort Mary: "If there is one, there will be a second one, don't be too sad, my good Mary, maybe the next gentleman who proposes to you—"

"mom!"

Mary interrupted Mrs. Bennet's fantasy of happiness, dumbfounded. Everyone fantasizes that they can win the lottery. It's okay to joke about it, but it's a bit outrageous to take it seriously, right?

Besides, she said she nearly lost her life, and Mrs. Bennet thought she was sorry for the loss of a rich husband.

Thinking that Mrs. Bennet could applaud Jane's high fever for marrying her daughter, Mary suddenly felt that her previous worries were unnecessary.

I have to say that my father is indeed a father. Mr. Bennet and Mrs. Bennet have been together for most of their lives, and it can be said that they have a thorough understanding of their wife's character.

He suggested that Mary could change her mother's focus on events in a different way, and Mary did, and the effect was outstanding-hearing that Mary, who was the most difficult to marry in her mind, was also the darling of gentlemen in London, Bennett The wife was in a good mood immediately, she didn't care if it was dangerous or not.

"No wonder my Mary doesn't like young Meryton boys," she said with relief. "How can Meryton's young men be more respectable than London gentlemen? Catherine, Lydia, you have to learn from Mary."

Catherine: "..."

5 minutes ago you kept saying don't be like Mary.Mother told both the pros and cons, and Catherine and Lydia looked at each other in blank dismay.

Mary thought about it, and felt that the play should be finished.

She coughed dryly again and winked at Lydia desperately.

Seeing this, Lydia rolled her eyes greatly.I don't know if it's a disdain for Mrs. Bennet's speech, or a blatant dislike of Mary.

"I don't want it," Lydia said dissatisfiedly, "I can win the praise of so many noble ladies by drawing the design of beautiful clothes. Sitting in the salon, some people say that I am a talented woman. How can I be like Mary? Do you still need to run before and after in order to get the attention of others?"

Lydia entered the play so quickly that Mary felt that she was not acting at all, but she was clearly showing her true feelings.

And Catherine immediately picked up Lydia's "dialogue", pretending to quarrel with Lydia: "You are not allowed to talk about Mary like that! Mary didn't assist in the investigation to be popular, otherwise Mr. Holmes would still watch Won't you come out?"

"That's right, thanks to Mr. Detective."

It wasn't until Catherine emphasized the existence of Holmes for the second time that Mrs. Bennet realized that her daughter was almost killed.

Sherlock Holmes had been to Meryton, and though Mrs. Bennet had not seen it, she knew that Mr. Bingley's Netherfield estate had been burglarized, and that a detective from London had helped her son-in-law.

Mrs. Bennet reprimanded Mary symbolically: "You have to thank people yourself, Mary!"

Catherine burst out laughing when she heard this.

She rested her chin with a look of sincere expectation: "I think Mr. Holmes also likes Mary."

Mrs. Bennet: "You see, my little Mary is so promising!"

Mary: "..."

This worked out well beyond Mary's expectations!

The fact that "a man with a title proposed to Mary" was confessed first, and Mrs. Bennet didn't take the existence of Sherlock Holmes to heart at all-how can a detective be as high as a knight?Even Jazz has taken a fancy to Mary, isn't it a matter of course for other men to like Mary.

In Mrs. Bennet's heart, Holmes has been completely classified into the ranks of "other men".

Mary couldn't laugh or cry. Before she moved out of Longbourne, her mother had never called her "my Mary".In the eyes of Mrs. Bennet, the third daughter, who was once socially unsocial and high-spirited, was the least likable of the five children.

But Mary didn't blame Mrs. Bennet either.

She lived in the southern countryside all her life, living a monotonous life in the social environment.Mrs. Bennet lived her whole life in the cognition that "a woman must be a decent wife and marry a decent man", but in the current social environment, knowledge, ideas and principles are by no means favorable conditions for marrying.

So in the past, Mrs. Bennet didn't like Mary, but now seeing that Mary has almost become the highest married daughter among several daughters - a potential stock with higher potential than Elizabeth, her attitude has naturally undergone a big change.

Compared with some elders who stubbornly refuse to admit their mistakes and want to save face to the end, Mrs. Bennet has a straightforward personality and corrects when she knows her mistakes.

"I was really wrong," Mrs. Bennet admitted readily, "I thought London was filthy, and there were so many nouveau riche, I'm afraid you couldn't find a decent family and wouldn't let you come here. Now it seems , or the gentlemen in the capital know what kind of single lady is valuable. How stupid I am to think of marrying you to Collins, fortunately not, fortunately not!"

The three younger daughters, in particular, had problems before they left Longbourn: Mary was a nerd, Catherine had no ideas, and Lydia almost had a big quarrel with Wickham.Mrs. Bennet was quite pissed off at the time.

But now look at her precious daughters, how good they are.Mrs. Bennet was so happy that she almost blossomed that even Catherine's talking back to her became assertive.

"What kind of blessings have I cultivated in my life?" Mrs. Bennet concluded, "to get so many angelic daughters."

When Mr. Bennet brought Jane and Elizabeth in, what he saw was his wife and three young daughters enjoying themselves happily.

This surprised the two eldest daughters of the Bennet family: everyone knew that Mrs. Bennet was worrying about the three little guys every day, and she came to London with the idea of ​​getting married. Not too much.More importantly, Mary's involvement in the Illuminati case was published in the newspapers. Elizabeth had been secretly worried for a long time, fearing that her stubborn sister would get agitated and quarrel with her mother.

Unexpectedly, instead of quarreling with her mother, she coaxed their mother into a ecstasy.

When the family members arrived, Mrs. Bennet couldn't help but boasted about herself and her daughters. She didn't consider that other people also knew about it, and announced the fact that Mary was "very popular" on the public.

After listening to the "facts" stated by their mother, Jane and Elizabeth immediately understood everything.

The good-tempered Jane laughed out loud immediately, and didn't say anything about Mary's little trick, but just shook her head again and again.

Elizabeth raised her eyebrows and looked at Mary: "Then should I congratulate you, Mary?"

Mrs. Bennet didn't hear what Elizabeth said at all, and before Mary could speak, she replied directly for her: "What's the hurry, it's too late to congratulate Mary when she marries a gentleman no worse than Darcy."

"I'm more interested in that Mr. Holmes," said Mr. Bennet suddenly.

Her father's words made Mary wince, and came back to her senses.

Apparently, Mr. Bennet was very satisfied that Mary had comprehended his reminder. When the father and daughter looked at each other, Mr. Bennet, who always had an expression of indifference, showed a rare gesture of concern.

"There's Holmes on the left and Holmes on the right," Mr. Bennet explained leisurely. "I heard that he even brushed off Mrs. Bennet's candidate son-in-law in public. It seems that he really cares about Mary."

"..."

Mary was stunned for a moment before she realized that the "candidate son-in-law" Mr. Bennet referred to was Blackwood.

Even at this time, Mary did not forget to taunt her mother. Mary smiled wryly, but was also surprised by her father's sensitivity.

I haven't mentioned it before, maybe I'm not sure about Mary's attitude.But Mrs. Bennet didn't know that Mary had colluded with her two younger sisters to act, but Mr. Bennet could see it clearly.

Compared with Blackwood, this Mr. Holmes can indeed be classified as "other men", but it is obvious that Mary's intention is not the case.

Just when Mary was about to explain, Mrs. Bennet preempted her indifferently: "What's the matter if you take it to heart? My little Mary is so cute. I think Mr. Holmes is the candidate son-in-law. I heard that he is a good-looking man. , it would be perfect to match Mary, but Mary, don't rush to agree to him, if there is a jazz, there will be a second one, and it won't be too late."

Mary:? ? ? ?

Mary's original plan was to wait for Catherine to add a few words when she mentioned Sherlock, explaining the current situation and persuading her mother, but she didn't expect that the play between her and her two sisters was so successful that Mary had no part in it!

Mrs. Bennet's words were so frank that Mary didn't know what to say—is it okay to just ask her daughter to hang a man as a backup?

Although this was not Mary's intention at all, it did achieve the result she wanted.Didn't she just want to tell her mother that she was not in a hurry to get married, even if Sherlock wanted to, and told her not to urge herself or Holmes.

So should she refute it?

Mary hesitated, but Jane and Elizabeth looked at each other, and the tacit sisters immediately understood what each other was thinking.

In the eyes of my sisters, my younger sister is smart, but stubborn is also really stubborn.Elizabeth and Jane couldn't help worrying that Mary, who had finally achieved her goal, would talk too much. Jane hurriedly changed the topic: "Well, Mary is popular, and Lydia is not too far behind. Mrs. Hindley likes her very much, and she only regrets that she didn't have more sons , so that I can be in-laws with you, mother."

Hearing this, Mrs. Bennet's attention was naturally diverted.

After entertaining her relatives and seeing off the Bennet couple and the two sisters, Mary still couldn't believe it: Mom passed this level like this?It's so simple, so why was she having a headache before!

Although her father's words encouraged Mary and at the same time brought her some thoughts about the future, her mother's reaction completely diluted the heavy part.

It's all about, Mary doesn't know whether she should be distressed or happy - if it's a bad thing, Mary has indeed got her wish; if it's a good thing, mother doesn't take Sherlock's matter to heart at all.

Fortunately, Marie's life is more than marriage and love, and soon something more important saves her.

The new issue of "Seaside Magazine" arrived as promised. There is no serialization of Mary in this issue, but Dr. Watson's "A Study in Scarlet" is still published. Miss Morstan came at the door suddenly.

Seeing her distressed face, Mary asked with concern, "What's the matter? Is there any financial difficulty? If you need help, just tell me."

Unexpectedly, Miss Morstan shook her head.

"Not only is there no difficulty, Mary."

As she spoke, she took out an exquisite box from her pocket that definitely should not belong to an Irish female worker, and opened it without waiting for Mary's reaction.

"I got these the other day," she began, "saying they were addressed to me, but there must be something wrong."

Inside the box were six round and crystal-clear pearls that were worth a lot of money at first glance.

Mary was taken aback.

Mary, who was about to give up persuading Miss Morstan to accept Watson, finally got her chance.

——Does mother take Sherlock to heart? Let Sherlock think about it for himself!Miss Morstan received a very expensive pearl. This is the plot of "The Sign of Four".

The author has something to say: Oh my god, this episode is over.If it wasn't for Jiang Hua traveling outside, I would have passed the 6000 daily qaq in two days!

There will be no prince contenders!What are you thinking? Wake up, it's better than Jiang Hua's mother!However, the analogy of a sister in the comment area yesterday was very accurate. Mrs. Bennet is a typical "You can grow snacks!" "Snacks? What snacks?"

Mary:? ? ?So what about the male lead, such a big male lead! ! !Forget it, let him think for himself =. =
