[Comprehensive Classics] Different Jane

"If it were made any other way, it would be a toy, wouldn't it?" said Mr. Holmes.

"Besides, we can draw patterns and let buyers do it themselves, which is more interesting." Jane said.

"You're right." Mr. Holmes looked at Jane appreciatively.Mycroft has a good eye. It seems that this toy factory is indeed feasible.

"What's mine?" Sherlock turned his card around for everyone to see.

"Er... you can pretend to be a deer, isn't it?" Jane glared at Sherlock.

Sherlock plausibly said, "Santa's deer should be reindeer. The reindeer's horns are coral-shaped and asymmetrical, so you made a mistake. You made the horns on both sides the same."

This thing has to do symmetrical graphics, can't you see it?Jane nodded back to Sherlock: "Then let me make something simpler next time, how about the bell?"

Symmetrical bells?Sherlock actually thought about it.

Jane opened her present, and found that the four Sherlock Holmes had probably agreed in advance. The presents for her were a set, including skirts, jewelry, shoes, and gloves. Well, the gloves were from Sherlock, and the shoes were from Mycroft. The jewelry is from Mr. Holmes, and the dress is from Mrs. Holmes.

Speechless... Is this because I am worried that I have no money to buy clothes to attend the court ball?Uh, but Jane thought about it, she only made three sets of dresses this year, and she wore two sets in rotation when attending social events before, and there was a more expensive satin dress for the court ball after the New Year, so... Has all this news reached Mrs. Holmes? ==

What else could Jane say?Intellectually speaking, these are indeed very practical gifts.

"Thank you." Jane thanked her sincerely. I don't know if it was her illusion. Why did she feel that everyone else was relieved?

"Then..." Jane was about to speak, when Mr. Holmes and Sherlock held up the gift she gave with one hand at the same time, and at the same time, Mycroft, who was sitting next to her, said: "I saw Jane wrapped it, Not participating in this game."

simple:? ?

Mr. Holmes and Sherlock nodded, and they quickly shook the gift box wrapped in exquisitely printed design paper, and put it under the candle to observe for a minute or two.

Jane: ... =w=

Mycroft whispered to Jane about the traditional Christmas game of the Sherlock Holmes family. In fact, it was to deduce what gifts were given by others. The less time and means used in the early stage, the more details were said.

"Sweater." Sherlock said decisively.

Mr. Holmes hesitated for two seconds before saying, "Mine too."

Sherlock: "Wool yarn."

Mr. Holmes: "Obviously." He glanced at Mycroft. "The thread was bought at the grocer in Old Glass."

Jane: "..." = mouth = Can you guess this?

Sherlock seemed dissatisfied with his father's lead. He said quickly: "I have two colors, gray and white. To be honest, Jane, do you think this suits me?"

"I think it's quite appropriate." Jane realized something was wrong as soon as she opened her mouth, and Sherlock's eyes showed complacency.

Jane:_(:зゝ∠)_

Mr. Holmes didn't mind. He thought for a while and said, "Blue and black, and it's woven with a check."

Oh leak, turn defeat into victory at once.

Sherlock was very unwilling to admit defeat, but after thinking for a long time, he couldn't explain in more detail, so he could only admit defeat.

Mrs. Holmes had been watching the two fight with a smile all the time, and then she looked at Jane: "Are they both right?"

Jane puffed up her palms, "It's like seeing it with my own eyes. I really don't understand how you can even guess the pattern?"

Both Mr. Holmes and Sherlock were about to unpack, Jane chuckled again, "Why don't you guess the style, style is the soul of clothes."

As soon as this remark came out, Mrs. Holmes laughed out loud, and the elders and straight men Holmes were dumbfounded. The three men couldn't help but looked at the skirts of different colors and styles on Mrs. Holmes and Jane, and then at the three of them. The black and white three-piece suit is nothing different except the tailoring.

Hmm... After all, if the sweater is the same, why does Jane need to say more?

Mycroft couldn't help but let out a muffled laugh. In fact, he didn't understand, but... well, anyway, he said just now that he would not participate in this round.

"Well, I can't guess that," Mr. Holmes surrendered.

Sherlock also conceded defeat. He glared at Jane angrily, tore off the wrapping paper a few times, and opened the box. It was indeed a sweater with a V-neck and a slim fit, which was perfect for shirts and coats this season. In the middle, it can be worn instead of a vest.

Mr. Holmes also slowly opened the box. The sweater was exactly the same as what he said before, but it was a loose high collar, which was more comfortable and warmer to wear indoors than a non-elastic shirt.

Mr. Holmes likes it very much. The suburban towns of London are indeed colder than the city. This sweater is very convenient to wear at home. He likes Jane's intentions very much.

Both Mr. Holmes and Sherlock showed their gifts, and Mycroft also wanted to see what his sweater looked like, but just as he put his hand on the box, Jane suddenly said: "Mycroft, How about you come and guess?" She looked at him narrowly: "Sorry, yours is not a sweater."

Mycroft: "..." Huh?

This time it was Sherlock's turn to laugh.

"Oh, okay." Mycroft muttered, holding up the box with one hand like the other two just now, "This amount is really not a sweater." "Well, it's still wool knitting." He made a gesture and coughed, but he was actually thinking quickly about what he saw Jane knitting and knitting a few months ago.

But it's useless, Mycroft was too busy at home because of cholera, he really didn't pay attention to what Jane was knitting, ah, no, he had an impression, but that one was in Sherlock's hand Sweater bar.

Wool wool, what else can wool yarn weave?Wool socks?No, the weight is wrong, and if it's more than one pair, the center of gravity shifts when he shakes, so it's not.

Mycroft thought of a lot in a flash, but he rejected them all. He squeezed the box casually, huh?This is?Two... no, three little balls of yarn?He really couldn't think of it, why did three balls of wool need to be used on woolen fabrics?You know it's his Christmas present, and Jane will make three balls of yarn on his clothes for decoration?

Mycroft frowned and thought for a long time without saying a word. Mr. Holmes and Sherlock looked at their watches at the same time.

Mycroft inadvertently glanced at Jane, and suddenly it dawned on him that she was taking revenge on him for not informing the Holmes family of the annual Christmas games in advance.

"Well, I can't think of it." Mycroft simply conceded.

"Oh~" Mrs. Holmes said in surprise, "Could it be that this year's champion is Jane? You are such a dark horse, my dear, you knocked down all three gentlemen in our family for the first time." Even so , she didn't look unhappy at all, "Prepare well next year, Jane, then we can play against men and women."

"But we are one less." Jane looked dull.Reasoning with Sherlock Holmes?Afraid it will be cold?

"It doesn't matter, a gentleman, you have to be a gentleman." Mrs. Holmes disagreed.

Mycroft had already unwrapped the present, "Um... this is... a hat?" He took out the beanie inside, which was still woven with a Christmas fawn.

Emmmmmm... It's not a strange style to have a ball of wool on the hat. This thing was invented by the French navy in the 18th century. Of course, the purpose of doing this at that time was because the French ships were low and the crew always bumped their heads. The ball of yarn acts as a cushion.

But the woolen hat Jane wore had two extended earflaps on each side, and a ball of wool under the earflaps...

I feel a little bit ashamed.jpg

Jane took the hat from Mycroft and put it on him "gentlely", "You tend to sweat easily when you are warmed by the fire. Wear this to prevent colds. This little deer is cute, right?"

Mycroft looked ridiculous in a suit but wearing such a hat. Sherlock immediately laughed, and Jane said again: "I also think you and Sherlock have it. He is a card and you are a card." hat."

Hiccup, Sherlock's laughter stopped abruptly.

Well, a hat is a hat, Mycroft reluctantly accepted the reality, anyway, he couldn't see himself at the moment.His self-defeating appearance even made Mr. and Mrs. Holmes very happy.

The remaining gifts are actually relatively easy to guess, mainly because the four Holmes have been fighting wits and courage for so many years, and they know each other very well, so it is not difficult to guess.Only then did Jane know that everyone was secretly expecting what surprise she would bring.

Jane: Even if you are mentally retarded, you are also mentally retarded with a high IQ!Can't afford it.

After playing several more intellectual (brain) games, everyone left. Jane changed into her pajamas and "touched" and fell on the bed like a dead fish. She somewhat understood why mental workers love sweets. For example, she now I really want to have a piece of chocolate to save my brain cells.

Ah, now I know why the Sherlock Holmes are so troubled when it comes to playing cards.This kind of calculation game is naturally suitable for Sherlock Holmes to play. He can remember 80% of the card positions at a glance at the shuffle; observe, reason, and calculate, and let whoever wins if he wants to win; play psychological warfare with Holmes?Hehe, do you think so highly of yourself?

If the level is too low, you can't look down on it, and if the level is almost the same, you can't play it.

The four Holmes also demonstrated on the spot. The four of them could have gathered a table of whist, but they only played two rounds, and it was basically determined who was the final winner... Wrestling, how enjoyable it is to play ?

Sherlock also kept inviting Jane to play two games together... What a fart!Probably the cider from dinner gave Jane the courage to walk behind Sherlock on purpose when she went upstairs and gave him a kick.Sherlock almost fell to the ground, but he couldn't do anything to Jane when he turned around, so he had to stare at Mycroft who was walking at the end.

Do you still care about your wife? !

Mycroft covered his head, he really couldn't help it.

The author has something to say: Jane: You are not suitable for playing the game of strength, you should play the game of luck!
