[Comprehensive Classics] Different Jane

Those who can come to the palace ball are usually big bosses, but there are also ranks among the big bosses. Of course, Jane has done her homework before, but no homework can compare to the feeling of seeing it with her own eyes.

These are all characters who live in history textbooks, but now they are drinking, chatting and dancing in front of their eyes, what a taste, tsk tsk.

Jane was very interested, and took Mycroft around, and when she saw an old man, she asked him who it was.

Mycroft has a very good memory, not only pointing out one by one to Jane, but also expanding, after all, it is not something that cannot be said in his heart.

Mycroft and Jane didn't feel it themselves, but young people like them who didn't dance and walked outside the crowd were actually quite eye-catching. Mycroft simply took Jane to know more people.

This is not a good idea. This is the first time Jane feels the hostility towards women in this society from a married perspective.

After knowing their identities, many people cast contemptuous glances at Jane, as if to say: "Look, another country girl who is famous for her face, she is lucky."

And the people who looked at Mycroft were sympathetic to him, thinking, "Oh my God, another man who is attracted by a beautiful woman, but it's okay, he will wake up one day."

Both Mycroft and Jane were very indifferent to this. Anyway, no one dared to really say it. They basically have nothing to do with these idiots in the future.

People who want to seduce the other party's curiosity and self-esteem with their eyes are almost cramping their eyes, but they don't get a response.

It's very thick-skinned.

Soon the young couple reunited with the elders again, and the Holmes couple took their son and daughter-in-law to meet people everywhere.

Smart people see it, come on, the family's parents have admitted it, and if they meddle in it, isn't it a white offence?

However, there are also a few who are not smart, such as the countess in front of me who doesn't know what the prefix is.

This certain countess is here to promote her daughter, she cut into the conversation without winking, and then praised her daughter endlessly, she is proficient in everything such as piano, chess, calligraphy, painting and eight languages, marrying a wife and giving a dowry gift package Oh dear, free shipping Oh dear.

To tell the truth, if she just relied on the old to sell the old, everyone would bear it, but she insisted on forcibly belittling others while praising her own daughter.

After a while, he said, "My daughter hired a very famous so-and-so pianist as a teacher, but he couldn't get it easily. I still found Mrs. So-and-so (big shot), and then asked Mrs. So-and-so (big shot) to invite her." he."

After a while, he said, "When we went to Paris last year, people thought my daughter was a local. This is the advantage of living in a big city. If you live in a rural area, you can't afford high-end tutors even if you have money. If you don’t pay attention to pronunciation at the beginning, then learning French is basically in vain.”

After a while, he said, "My daughter's manners are so elegant that even Lord So-and-so has praised them. How about you, Mrs. Holmes? Oh, see what I asked, your family doesn't hire etiquette teachers, it will be of no use to you. "

The lady directly called Jane's name, and Jane was impolite. People are good at being bullied, and Ma Shan is being ridden. It's not really popular here that "if you hit your left cheek, you will stretch out your right cheek to get beaten".

So Jane said with a look of admiration: "If you want to be an Englishman, be an Englishman, if you want to be a Frenchman, be a Frenchman, my God, ma'am, you are really amazing. The noble lady's education is really extraordinary, at your age All the old ladies still have this kind of insight, but we country folks are completely incapable, I really hope that I can be as good when I live to be your age in the future."

The serial knife was inserted so hard that it was suffocating. Even the wives who were eating melons next to them felt a little out of breath, as if they had been scratched by the blade, let alone the countess who was being stabbed, her face turned red. Even the thick white powder can't cover it.

This is not over yet, Jane is naively puzzled, "But... can I immigrate to France with the title of Earl? Will it be inconvenient for Mr. Earl?"

Mycroft immediately gave a boost, and he reminded Jane in a "whispered voice": "My dear, Mr. Earl has passed away for many years."

"My God." Jane covered her mouth in surprise, and she quickly apologized, "I'm so sorry, I'm so rude, madam. A lady with status like you must have a big heart, please forgive me I."

At this time, Mr. Holmes, who had been standing by the side as a pillar, suddenly added a knife, "Don't worry, I was lucky to meet the Earl back then. He is a very kind and generous man."

Others: "..." The countess looked like she was about to vomit blood.

"Oh, you are really rude." Mrs. Holmes, who was in charge of mopping up, showed a skillful smile that pretended to be awkward but polite, and slipped away with her husband, son and daughter-in-law.

Let's go, and I can still hear Jane holding Mrs. Holmes's arm and saying: "Oh, my God, Eugenie, did I say something wrong just now, and am I ashamed?" Mrs. Holmes replied kindly: "It's okay, don't put Take what happened just now to your heart, my dear, you are still young, and you have plenty of opportunities to learn."

Everyone: "..." We heard it ==

The few days after the ball entered into a busy period of social life, and a few days later Jane sat in the dining room and solemnly announced that the family had to hire another servant.

"Of course, that's up to you," Mycroft asked. "So is there a problem?"

"Yes." Jane rested her chin on her hands, "I'm thinking whether to hire one long-term one or two short-term ones."

"Huh?" Mycroft was rather confused about housework, "Is this still something to consider?"

"Of course it is necessary."

Jane gave an example. For example, the servants of the Sherlock Holmes family, including the cook, are all long-term workers. I usually follow Mr. Bennet, and that woman comes to Bennet's house to wash the dishes and clothes every day, and then goes home after finishing work.

Because of the epidemic before, Jane had never dared to find a servant casually. She and Belle did a lot of housework by herself, and only hired a little boy to help wash and brush every day.

These are usually the jobs of the hostess of the house. Mycroft really didn't pay attention to them before. He suddenly understood the pros and cons, and said to Jane: "Look for two short-term workers first, and I will find out if there are any suitable ones." It's chosen." And he also needs a servant to run errands, otherwise it is really inconvenient to go out.

This is exactly what Jane wanted. She made her own request, "The maid can have no work experience, but she must be reliable, and it is best to like cooking." She remembered the boiled and baked potatoes she ate at Bennet's house when she was a child , bloody steak, lettuce salad, broth without any seasoning (including salt)... In fact, these are the normal tables of ordinary people in the UK. People like her and Mrs. Holmes are willing to make trouble for eating Not much really.

Mycroft stroked his chin and nodded in agreement. He was used to all kinds of frying and frying at home, and now he was unwilling to eat out.

Not wanting to find the maid, Mycroft first brought back a Mr. Brownlow.

"Mr. Brownlow has come to see you, Jane," said Mycroft.

"Looking for me?" Jane looked at the old gentleman.

"Yes." asked Mr. Brownlow, bowing, "do you know a boy named Oliver Drizzt?"

"Oliver Drizzt?" Jane thought the name sounded familiar, but couldn't remember it for a moment.Mr. Brownlow suggested, "Oliver said you bought him a ticket to London at Cambridge Station."

Jane suddenly said, "It's him, you can count it as knowing, but I only saw him once, what happened to him?"

"He's fine, he's fine, he's at my place now, knowing I'm here this time, Oliver hopes I can show you how you helped him on his behalf, if it wasn't for your sponsorship, he wouldn't have been able to come to London "Mr. Brownlow said sincerely, "Actually, we already know his life experience. His father was my good friend." Mr. Brownlow told Jane and Mycroft about Oliver's life experience. It was unexpected.Orphan Twist really, Jane thought, but she didn't remember the plot for a long time, only knew it was HE.

Sure enough, Mr. Brownlow asked Jane: "I am determined to let Oliver get what he deserves, but the will and the tokens that can prove his identity have been destroyed. I need to find a witness who can prove his identity. I heard that you have seen Oliver's token, it's a necklace with a pendant and a face inside, I don't know if you remember it."

"Of course, I was very impressed." Jane said very simply, "That lady looks very similar to Oliver, she is his mother, right?"

"Yes." Mr. Brownlow said excitedly, "I'm going to hold a small notarization for Oliver. If possible, I hope you can be there to prove it for him."

Jane was a little puzzled, "I'm afraid I can't prove too many things, after all, we only met once."

"Just prove that the token belongs to Oliver." Mr. Brownlow requested, "I have searched many places for Oliver over the years to fulfill my old friend's last wish. I have also been looking for you in London for a long time, but I didn't expect you to come London is for marriage, and I've been looking for a Miss Bennet."

Now that this is all said, Jane feels that it doesn't matter if she agrees, "Then when is the notary meeting?"

"Three days later, Mrs. Holmes." Mr. Brownlow knew that Jane had agreed. "35 Best Street, at ten o'clock in the morning."

"Okay, I'll be there with my husband."

"Of course, thank you, Mrs. Holmes, Mr. Holmes, may God be with you." The goal was achieved, and Mr. Brownlow left.

The author has something to say: Jane: I just like the way you are so angry that you can't do anything about me. =w=
