[Comprehensive Classics] Different Jane

"Be kind to my daughter, Holmes." Mr. Bennet, who was not good at words, felt that he had many threatening words to warn Mycroft, but he couldn't say it. In the end, he could only say this sentence, but he used very fierce eyes ( thought) gave Mycroft a look he believed would understand.

How can Mycroft have any eyes that can give his fierce and cute husband?He could not see his own Jane.

"You are so beautiful today, Jane." Mycroft used all his restraint to control his behavior, and his love almost overflowed from his eyes.

"Thank you, Mycroft, you are handsome too, I love you." Jane shook Mycroft's hand vigorously.

Sherlock next to him shivered from the disgusting conversation.

The tried and tested pastor didn't change his face. He coughed and signaled the couple to look at him.

Live with her according to the teachings of the Bible, unite with her before God, love her, comfort her, respect her, protect her He, love yourself as much as you love yourself.

"Miss Jane Bennet, would you like to have Mr. Mycroft Holmes as your husband? Live with him according to the teachings of the Bible, be one with him before God, love him, comfort him, respect him, protect him He, love yourself as much as you love yourself. Whether he is sick or healthy, rich or poor, always be true to him until the end of the world"

"I am willing."

The pastor asked the crowd, "Are there any people present who object to this marriage?"

All shook their heads.

"Please exchange wedding rings."

Bernadette, who had been on standby for a long time, immediately ran over holding a cushion with two wedding rings stuck in it.Bernadette had practiced this many times, and he hadn't made a single mistake.

Mycroft picked up the ring and put it on Jane seriously.Jane also took the ring and put it on for Mycroft.

The pastor said, "Then by the authority given to me in the Bible, I declare you husband and wife, amen."

"Amen." Everyone followed suit.

Mycroft couldn't wait to pull Jane over and kiss her.

"Now the groom can...kiss the bride, well, the groom can't wait a long time ago." The pastor joked.Everyone else couldn't help laughing.

After the wedding, Mycroft and Jane went to Europe for their honeymoon. They disembarked from Belgium by boat, passed through France and Switzerland, and finally arrived in Italy.

Jane has long wanted to come to Italy. There is not only a long culture and history, but also bright sunshine and rich resources. The people living here are enthusiastic and unrestrained.Even Napoleon's birthplace, Corsica, although it belongs to France, is actually closer to Italy. It's hard to say which culture influenced the former emperor.

The British favorite playwright Shakespeare is also an Englishman who loves Italy. Many of his works are set in Italy, such as "Romeo and Juliet", "Titus Andronicus", "Venice The Merchant, Much Ado About Nothing, Coriolanus, and more.

Not to mention the handsome men and beautiful women in Italy... After Jane was accosted by three handsome men in a row, Mycroft suddenly felt a crisis. does not exist!

It can be said that he was very angry.

Mycroft and Jane visit the Duomo in Milan, the cathedral where Napoleon's coronation was held and even Leonardo da Vinci invented the elevator for the cathedral.

The Brera Gallery is also related to the emperor. It was founded by him alone. It houses many famous paintings such as Bellini's "Madonna and Child" and Raphael's "The Marriage of the Virgin".

Venice is a romantic water city. Mycroft and Jane, the newlyweds, rode a gondola to roam in the water alleys. The boatmen were infected by their sweet breath and sang Italian folk songs. Other boatmen passing by They also sang along, and for a while the whole water alley was filled with singing.

At the end of the song, no matter whether it was the people sitting on the boat or the people sticking out their heads from the rooms on both sides to listen, they all applauded at the same time, and the boatmen took off their hats to salute.

When I got off the boat, Mycroft paid an extra five pounds for the song (～￣▽￣)～

Florence is the birthplace of the European Renaissance movement. Da Vinci, Dante, Galileo, Raphael, Michelangelo and many other artistic celebrities once gathered here, and their souls seem to still wander in the streets and alleys here.

While in Rome, Mycroft and Jane heard a curious incident from the innkeeper.

One month before Mycroft and Jane got married, that is, in February, it was the Roman Carnival, and two young people from France were staying at the hotel where Mycroft and Jane were now staying. .One of them, a young man named Morcerf, who was a Viscount, was kidnapped by Rogi Wampa, the bandit leader outside Rome, during the carnival.

Luoji Vampa is a well-known figure in this area, known as the king of robbers, but he is a man of principle, as long as the ransom is paid, the hostages will not be in danger of their lives.

Unexpectedly, the viscount spent too much, and the remaining money was not enough for the ransom. Fortunately, he and his companion had met the Count of Monte Cristo before, and the count paid the viscount to redeem him without saying a word.

Mr. Viscount regards the Earl as a savior, and also promises to repay the Earl if he goes to France.

I never expected to hear about the Earl in Rome. Both Mycroft and Jane found it very interesting. It sounds like this is something the Earl would do. Mycroft knew his godfather was a very People who are willing to do good deeds, from another point of view, are inhuman, and it is not a problem that can be solved with money￣▽￣

Having said that, Mycroft always felt that there was something wrong, but he was always a rationalist, so after thinking about the logic, he put it aside.

Jane knew it, and it was inevitable that she felt sad and missed the opening scene of revenge... But she would not have come if she knew about it, and she was busy making the final preparations for the wedding at that time.

However, this was not the last time. On the way back, Mycroft and Jane made a special trip to Paris, this famous big city in Europe, it would be a pity to miss it.

Mycroft originally wanted to visit the godfather. He heard that he was already in Paris, but the Earl was not there at the moment, so Mycroft took Jane to Paris for two days.

At this time, there is an opera called "A Life Like a Dream" that is popular in Paris. It is said that it is very popular among celebrities from all walks of life. Mycroft and Jane discussed it and planned to watch it too.

Sitting in the theater, the two of them took a telescope and glanced around at the same time.Mycroft was very talented, and he had already calculated some key objects in an instant, while Jane, Emmm... She tried hard to find and identify people who were suspected to be the Earl's enemies, and she really managed to find a few.

It's nice to be out there.

However, revenge is the Earl's private matter, and Jane has no intention of interfering in it. She and Mycroft only stayed in Paris for two days, and Mycroft suddenly received a telegram from England, so the two hurriedly ended their honeymoon journey of.

Mycroft had received an urgent appointment from the London Public Health Service, and it became clear when he and Jane returned to London.

It really stinks!

A disgusting stench permeates all of London, and the stench gets heavier the closer you get to the Thames.

This is actually not the first time this stench has erupted in London. Mycroft packed Jane and sent her to Holmes' old house before she could react without saying a word.

Although it is said that the nineteenth century was the century of Britain, in fact there were many domestic contradictions in Britain.

To put it simply, the factory needs people, and the farming needs people, but in the end the people who farm the land lose out, so a large number of people flow to big cities like London.Coupled with the Great Irish Famine, a large number of Irish people also ran to the British mainland cities to make a living.

London, being an old-school city, has long been overloaded.

Because when there are more people, there will be more things. Although flush toilets have been popularized in ordinary households in London, more poor people who can’t afford them don’t even know what they are, let alone the sewers at this time. of the river.

Cholera, a disease that terrifies Europeans, has killed at least 1831 British people since it appeared in Britain in 7.

Dr. John Snow's research proved that it is very important to provide pure drinking water to each family, but this is difficult to achieve in practice, but his theory made people understand one thing: whenever there is a foul smell floating over London, "Cholera," the god of death, began to wave its sickle again.

As for hospitals... Think about it, doctors in this era would scrape powder from mummies and make wine for patients, claiming to cure all diseases, and claiming that without opium, there would be no medical progress... In the face of major diseases, the level of medical treatment is basically the same. It is tantamount to completely resigning to fate.

That's why Mycroft wanted to send Jane to the old house of Holmes. The old house of the Holmes family was located in the suburbs of London. It was not densely populated, and it was different from London's water source. As long as it was strictly guarded, it was safe.

Even so, the Holmes couple were ready to evacuate to a more rural place at any time after receiving Jane.

Mycroft is not the only one. All the upper class people in London have long since left London to hide in the countryside. It's like throwing a cat named "cholera" into a rat's nest. The rats Then he ran away like a bomb.

"My God." Jane was dumbfounded. Longbourne is a rural place, and it is difficult for the plague to spread there, so Jane never knew that such a dangerous disease would occur in London.

"I'm going back to find Mycroft." Jane quickly made a decision, "It's hard for him to take care of himself in London alone, especially at such a critical time, he must be so busy."

Mrs. Holmes was stunned, and she asked Jane cautiously: "Have you thought it over, dear? Do you know what it means to go back to London at this time? Cholera, this is no joke, and no one knows about it until now. What is the cause of the disease? Although everyone says it has something to do with water, our life cannot be separated from water. This is an endless cycle.”

"So I can't just go back to London, I have to prepare some things." Jane's eyes were almost shining, "I don't know where to get some, I need your help."

"What do you need?" Mr. Holmes, who had been quietly smoking a cigarette, asked suddenly.
