[Comprehensive Classics] Different Jane

After Jane told Nina that Mycroft asked her to help adjust, Nina agreed.Jane was not very surprised, but Nina herself was embarrassed. She took the initiative to explain to Jane: Actually, I am very tired from working every day, so I just take a rest and relax when I go back to the street.

simple:"……"

It's alright, if you give yourself a vacation and tell her, it's really a good thing not to treat yourself as an outsider.

Nina first put back on the clothes she used to wear when she was pretending to be a boy. Those tattered clothes that were too big for her at the time almost fit her right now. She took a sandwich and went out.

Nina originally thought it was a very simple task, after all, the family had lived here for more than ten years.But the result of her inquiry was that there were three children in this family, two boys and one girl, all of whom were the parents and children of Mrs. Woodhouse... If they were all parents and children, why did Sherlock come to inquire about it?

Nina is also a little clever ghost, she just thought, lived here for more than ten years... more than ten years?Where did you live before?So she inquired about the former address of the family, and after spending a few days finding the former address of the Woodhouse family, she really got the clue for Nina.

It turns out that this Mrs. Woodhouse is already Mr. Woodhouse's second wife, and she is the sister of the first Mrs. Woodhouse.

When the former Mrs. Woodhouse was pregnant, the current Mrs. Woodhouse hooked up with her brother-in-law, but was discovered by her sister. The former Mrs. Woodhouse was so angry with her sister that she gave birth prematurely and died.At this time, the current Mrs. Woodhouse found out that she was also pregnant, so she used all means to marry her brother-in-law in the name of taking care of her nephew, and became the current Mrs. Woodhouse.

No matter how you cover it up, it is a scandal for a younger sister to marry her brother-in-law, not to mention that they got married almost shortly after the death of the former Mrs. Daydream, so the Woodhouse family left the place where they lived and moved to the place where they live now.

After listening to Nina's words—she took it as a story—Jane put down the teacup in her hand, heh, scumbag!

It's just a house fight between a scumbag man and a slut woman, and after hearing Nina say that the family's character is not very good in the eyes of neighbors and servants, Jane is even less interested. Tell Mycroft the result, presumably Sherlock will be satisfied with the result.

Jane packed up her things and prepared to go to Hogwarts. Today is the day of account reconciliation and collection of money. Jane will go again in the evening when the dessert shop is about to close.

Jane always took Belle with her, and this time was no exception. She left Nina to tell Mycroft the story.

"Need me to go with you?" Mycroft asked vaguely.

"No, I'll be back before dinner." Jane put on her coat and said, she opened the door and complained, "It's raining again."

After the winter passed, London began to experience frequent light rain. It has been a week since the sun has been out for several hours. The rainy weather always makes people feel bad.

Belle was standing on the side of the road holding an umbrella, she called a carriage, saw Jane coming out, she stepped forward to catch Jane with the umbrella, and the two quickly got into the carriage.

When Jane arrived at Hogwarts, there were no customers in the store. When Ben saw Jane, he hung up the closing sign and called Toby up.

Since coming to London, Toby has been following the Harbisons. They get along more and more harmoniously. They used to dislike Toby, but now they completely regard Toby as their own son. He and Anna decided to adopt him. Toby, who knew a little bit about his life experience, immediately agreed.

Toby knew that Jane was coming, but he came from the kitchen and hid behind the counter in embarrassment, only showing two eyes to look at Jane.

"Little brat, what are you doing squatting here? Why don't you hurry up and say hello to Mrs. Holmes." Ben gave Toby a moment, and brought the boy out by the way.

"Good day, Mrs. Holmes." Toby stood in front of Jane and greeted Ai Ai.

Compared with a few years ago, Toby has grown into a little boy now. I don’t know if it’s because he always steals food in the dessert shop. The boy who was quite strong before has become a little boy. Ben and Anna I didn't take it seriously, and felt that it was all due to my own feeding.

Jane strictly forbids Toby to continue to gain weight. He is growing up, and being puffy after eating sweets does not mean healthy.It's just that Toby won't be able to lose weight for a while, so he is a little scared every time he sees Jane.

Jane routinely asked about Toby's recent meals. Neither Ben nor Toby could lie in front of her. After discovering that Toby only drank porridge every night as Jane had ordered before, Jane let the two go. .

Both father and son breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

"This is for this month." Ben quickly carried the ledger and cash box over and placed them in front of Jane.

When he first arrived in London a year ago, Ben was full of ambitions and prepared to do a big job, hoping to become a successful boss and reach the pinnacle of his life, but the reality gave him a heavy blow.

Ben used to be just a poor man in Longborn who even considered oatmeal as a luxury. Just a few years ago, food like white bread was as untouchable as clouds in the sky, let alone desserts. Almost never heard of it.During the more than one year in Cambridge, Ben learned a lot, and Jane taught him a lot, and Ben felt that he was capable of repaying Jane.After all, after Jane got married, it was not as convenient as before. She could spend so much time in the store. If she could run Hogwarts independently, Jane, as an investor, only needs to pay dividends (take money), which saves trouble.

Jane also thought so. In her mind, it was not difficult to open a small shop. Besides, Ben had been doing a good job in Cambridge. She thought that even if she changed places, there should be no major problems.

However, I never expected that Hogwarts lost half of the year after it opened in London for half a year. The difference between each month is more or less.Ben saw that this was not going to work, and the money he lost was not enough for him to pay back, so he immediately told Jane that he would quit the business, and then he would concentrate on working for Jane.

So what if you have no money?Could it be worse than at Longbourne?Can Miss Jane starve herself to death?Ben thinks very openly, and Jane has a good heart, otherwise, who would dare to take a guy like Ben who can make troubles?

Let's talk about Ben Harbison's duty. He always wants to make troubles when he is hot-headed, but he is not capable enough. Let's say he is dishonest. Every time Jane confesses to him, he does a good job. It is precisely because of this It made Jane think that he could open his own shop independently.

Jane is also speechless.

"Last month's income was good. It seems that the word-of-mouth of our store is already good." Jane flipped through the account book that was given to her. Hours later, she read the ledger, and Belle also counted the money here, the two are a couple, Emmmm... right?Ben slapped his head and added the money from yesterday's purchase, and this time it was right.

Jane asked Belle to pack her things, and Ben asked Toby to call for a carriage with a wink, and Jane chatted with Ben by the way. "Don't spoil Toby too much, Ben, are you going to let him be a boy like this all the time? What if one day I don't want to open a dessert shop anymore? You have to let him learn more."

Ben said: "Well, I would like to, Mrs. Holmes, but what can I let him learn? I don't know anything myself, if only I knew a trade."

Jane is also speechless, okay, what kind of mind is she doing?People change all the time, but let's talk about it then.

After returning, Jane was still in time for dinner, but Mycroft was not having dinner. Nina said that a guest had come, and Mycroft was talking with him in the study.Not long after, they came out of the study. The guest was a taciturn middle-aged man. He silently raised his hat to Jane, shook hands with Mycroft silently, and left.

"Who is he?" "Is it still raining outside?" Jane and Mycroft asked at the same time. Jane glared at Mycroft and surrendered first, "Let's eat, it's still raining outside, but let him alone."

During the meal, Jane discussed with Mycroft, "I always feel that Toby should learn something."

"What's the matter with him?" asked Mycroft, cutting the steak.

"It's nothing now, but I think it's not enough for him to learn to be a pastry chef from Anna at Hogwarts, and...how should I put it." Jane frowned and said, "Before I wanted Ben to run Hogwarts by himself." Here, you know, he has been losing money for half a year, I don’t think he can do it, and Toby can’t learn anything from him, so what will he do in the future?”

Mycroft glanced at Jane speechlessly, "This is not something we need to worry about, dear, he still has his own father." He glanced at Jane's face, "Okay, what's your opinion?"

"I'm wondering if we should hire a manager." Jane stated her ultimate goal.

Mycroft recalled his pitifully small properties. The two properties he invested (and spent) the most were overseas, especially the Indian tea plantation. Although the prospect was very good, but because of too much investment in the early stage, he now has to get it back. The dividends have not been able to make up for it.

So the current main income of the family is actually Mycroft's salary every month, some gray income and Hogwarts income.

"No need..." Mycroft felt that he was poor.

"That's because your funds haven't turned into property much." Jane, who has a grasp of the family's financial situation in one hand, said sharply.

"Uh... so?"

"Charles' Toy Factory, I'd like a piece of it."

"Ah, you said this, Dad said that Sherlock and I can take a share, and of course your technology shares."

"I'm talking about decision-making power."

Mycroft understood. "You want to take part in the business?" He put down his knife and fork. "Yes, but how do you have time?"

Jane gave Mycroft a white look, "I have a lot of time, and it's boring to do nothing at home."

"So you want me to talk to Dad?" asked Mycroft. "I don't think he'd agree if that's the only reason."

Jane had already prepared. She went to the room and showed the plan to Mycroft. Mycroft was not an ignorant person.

This planning book was obviously written after returning from Christmas. Jane had written countless planning books in the past, and she was naturally familiar with writing this time. Of course, she also spent a lot of effort, after all, many things are still very different.Fortunately, Jane had this idea from the very beginning, and Sherlock Holmes's old house also has various reference books. She checked a lot of things before writing it.

It’s just that Mycroft never thought that Jane still has this ability. Looking at this planning book, it is already very professionally written. Some ideas are really unique and comprehensive. If it's not complete, it can be seen that Jane has put in a lot of effort, even the most seasoned managers are no more than that, no, I'm afraid they still can't do this.

Mycroft even felt that some of Jane's thoughts were very familiar. It was... when they communicated with each other, and it turned out that they could still think this way, and Mycroft felt very kind.

"How do you feel?" Seeing that Mycroft was silent, Jane thought that he had discovered the private goods she had mixed in.

"Great, very good, beyond my expectation." Mycroft sorted out the plan, "You are much more capable than I imagined, my dear, sometimes I have some doubts about what's in your little brain What else is there that I don't know."

"There are many more, my dear Mr. Holmes." Jane raised her eyebrows, "Then..."

"I'll go and tell Dad," Mycroft agreed.

The author has something to say: Jane: My goal is the general manager =w=Y
