[Comprehensive Classics] Different Jane

Although the three of them were standing in the corner, the store manager standing at the counter still noticed Jane, he pushed the waiter away and walked over.

"Good day, Mrs. Holmes." The manager's voice was a little hoarse.

"Hello, Mr. Smith."

"You're here to, uh, can I help you with anything?"

"Oh, I took my younger sisters here for a stroll. I heard that there are some very difficult toys that ordinary people can't play with. Is it true?"

"Oh, oh, not so exaggerated, but we do have some interesting new gadgets in the store, but it's just difficult for children, and certainly not difficult for a bright lady like you."

Store manager Smith was very polite, and he understood that Mrs. Holmes wanted to lead the rhythm himself, so he immediately took down the toys that Jane had designated.

After paying the money, Jane didn't leave right away. Lydia couldn't wait to put a few toys on a separate high table next to the wall in the ladies' rest area. took it out.

This is a double-sided buckle, which feels very simple, that is, a small metal stick is crossed and twisted from the middle to form an open small circle, and another same small metal stick is also twisted through the small circle to make the same shape.

"How does this thing work?" Lydia didn't know why.

Elizabeth took out a small instruction manual from the box and studied it, "These two things can be separated and are independent." She pointed it out to Lydia.

"How is this possible!" Lydia didn't believe it. She twisted the double-sided buckle left and right. Although the two small circles were not sealed, the seam was too small to allow the metal rod to pass through.

"Let me try it." Jane took it from Lydia's hand, and she didn't know how she twisted it, and the two small circles were separated in a short while.

"Ha, look, it's quite simple." Jane took one in each hand and showed it.

"I'll try it," Elizabeth said.

"Okay." Jane restored the toy after a while, handed it to Elizabeth, and said, "It's very interesting, I'll pick some more." She went to the counter again.

Elizabeth fiddled with the double-sided buckle while recalling Jane's action just now. She didn't know which step was right, and the two small circles were separated quickly.

"Ha, look." Elizabeth showed Lydia in surprise.

"Get it back, I'll try again." Lydia said anxiously.

Elizabeth rolled her eyes and handed the two circles to Lydia respectively, "You can try to restore them into one, maybe it will be easier."

Lydia didn't know her second sister's sinister intentions, so she concentrated on playing with the two circles.

Damn it, how could it be that I can't figure it out!

The women standing nearby in twos and threes have noticed the movement of the three sisters since just now. Like everyone else, they always think that toys are something that children only play with, but during the few minutes that the three sisters played with the puzzle, they realized that It turns out that the toy can still play by itself.

Seeing Lydia fiddling with the small circle to no avail, the women onlookers were calm on the surface, but they were more anxious than Lydia herself.

Ah, no.

Hey, that's not how it is done, is it?

Ah, it's different from the girl's technique just now.

It should be twisted that way, twisted that way, that way!

Oh, let me go, why is this little girl so stupid!

...I can't wait to push Lydia away and do it myself.

At this time, Jane came over with several huge paper bags. She bought several intellectual clasps in one go, and showed Elizabeth one by one.

There are two double "V" shapes nested together, there are two "M" shapes followed by a semi-arc shape nested together, there are two "6" shapes nested together, and there are two thick-skinned "e" There are two "8" shapes that are nested together, and there is a metal rod with a twisted circle on both sides and a circle hanging in the middle... Anyway, there are a lot of them.

These intellectual buckles are about the same size, and they are all packed in the same square cardboard box. There is a label on the front of the carton, with the shape and name of the intellectual buckle inside printed on it.

Of course, Jane didn't just buy this kind of small toy, she also bought a jigsaw puzzle with a scene of London on it, which was intended to relax Mycroft's mind.

Jigsaw puzzles are a very old game. In the past, they were mostly made of wood pieces, but the one Jane bought was made of cardboard, and there were as many as one thousand pieces. Jane thought it should be enough for Mycroft to play with for a while.

There is also a three-dimensional jigsaw puzzle model, which is made of pressed cardboard parts. Just cut out and assemble according to the instructions to get a three-dimensional model.

In addition, there are small sticks and flying chess that can be played together, but flying chess is not called flying chess at the moment, but has different names according to the style of painting. The one Jane bought is called Make "forest maze".

Jane deliberately explained the toys one by one, and then left with Lydia and Elizabeth who couldn't wait to go back and try them.

After the three sisters left, after a while, a lady walked up to the counter and kindly asked what toy her son wanted to buy. After buying the toy for her son, she bought two intellectual buckles "by the way" and stuffed them into the bag together. Then Shi Shiran took his son home.

Soon this lady's trick was learned by other ladies.A few days later, several men came to the store, and they bought a few intellectual buckles under the guise of buying toys for their children. =-=

Since it was agreed that Elizabeth bribed Lydia, Jane was not polite.The jigsaw puzzles for Mycroft were paid for by Jane herself, and Elizabeth paid for the rest.

Elizabeth shook her wallet wanting to cry without tears, and filled in all her manuscript fees, and even posted her private money QAQ

Anyway, this is the case anyway, what else can I do? Elizabeth turned grief and anger into motivation, and continued her days of writing and writing.

Poverty keeps me typing TAT

Although she bought a bunch of toys, Jane did not allow Lydia to lose her mind. She stipulated strict play time and study time, which made Lydia cherish the time she could play. It really made her find a pattern.

"Look." Lydia triumphantly showed Jane and Elizabeth her new stunt, unlocking it in three seconds.In order to show that she really understood, Lydia also disassembled it several times.

"Papa papa", the sisters applauded very face-saving.

Lydia figured this out, but it doesn't matter, others don't know~ When Jane took her to the afternoon tea party again, she took it.While Jane and Elizabeth gossip over tea, Lydia shows off her new trick to girls her own age.

"Oh."

"Wow."

Lydia also lent everyone to play, but no one succeeded, and Lydia made a big splash.

In the next few days, the store managers of Barabay found that more people came to buy educational toys for adults in their store. Although these people used the excuse of "buying toys for children", the data sent to Mr. Holmes was not Not to be fooled, Barabay Toys has taken the opportunity to launch a new line of plush and cuddly animals that will make girls of all ages squeal.

There is nothing embarrassing about a lady who loves dolls. The dolls sold out, and the plush dolls quickly became popular. A bear doll wearing a scarf, and he loves it very much.

The royal family has always been a popular weathervane, and Barabay took advantage of the Dongfeng to launch "Princess Loves the Bear in the Same Suit" and "Wife of Bear in a White Dress", followed by "Little Bear" and "Little Bear's Parents" and other series.The dolls were sold out all of a sudden, and if any lady didn't have a doll bear, you would be ashamed to call yourself a popular person.

As the biggest hero, Jane received a check of a considerable amount from Mr. Holmes. After knowing that Jane spent money on toys to make a "play toy", he also sent a bunch of toys to Jane and her sisters. I spent a day sorting and packing toys, sent some to Uncle Gardner's house, and sent a lot to Mrs. Wood in Cambridge (Mrs. Wood: ...?).

Money became more abundant immediately, and Jane generously made a new set of clothes for the family members, including Belle and Nina, and the family was full of joy.

Mycroft also received a set of plaid regular clothes. Although he knew about the "Princess Bear Doll" but had never seen it in person, Mycroft thought the new clothes were great, and he looked very energetic when he wore them. He felt beautiful. ~ After wearing new clothes to work, he didn't take it seriously when he was secretly scrutinized by his colleagues, but he suddenly realized it after knowing the truth.

What else can I do with my own wife?Mycroft continued to wear new clothes to work, and thought quite beautifully in his heart, maybe Jane is the bear that was designed based on him, otherwise why is he himself so suitable for plaid outfits like the bear?

The days of being rich are really happy, but the situation abroad is a bit sad.

Mr. Holmes said that he would take the whole family to Vienna to see the World's Fair in summer, but the world's fairs are full of disasters.

First, during the preparation period, the Danube River suddenly flooded, which affected the progress of the project. Then, the cholera epidemic in the European continent was not completely suppressed in winter. Vienna was also the hardest hit area. Now that summer is approaching, many people are deterred by the epidemic. The financial crisis, I heard that many banks in Austria have gone bankrupt and closed... Jane is very worried whether the Vienna World Expo will be suspended.

"Closing the business won't stop it." Mycroft put down the lukewarm newspaper, "I've been preparing for so long, and I'll lose even more if I stop at this time."

Jane: So...are you sure you will lose money? (￣▽￣")

"So are we still going?" Jane was worried about this.

"Of course, Charles has already told me, but we may not be able to catch up with the opening." Mycroft told another anecdote, "I heard that the king of Persia sent three princes to go first."

"Huh? What does it mean to go first?" Jane asked unclearly.

Mycroft picked the corner of his mouth, "It is said that he is worried that the cholera in Vienna will harm his health."

"This, this is really..." Jane was really speechless. It's not a problem to be afraid of death, but you let your son go first. This, isn't it good?Are there too many sons? ==

"Jane...uh, Mai, Mycroft, good morning." Lydia, who came downstairs for breakfast, backed away in shock. Usually, Mycroft was almost at work when she came to have breakfast.For some reason, Lydia felt a little afraid of Mycroft.

"Good morning." Mycroft wiped his mouth and said to Jane, "Are you busy tomorrow?" Without waiting for Jane to think, he said directly, "I plan to invite a friend to my house for lunch tomorrow."

"Who is it? Do I know him?" Jane asked.

"Well, you know and have met, Brielle Connery."

"what?"

What is he?Jane looked at Mycroft.

"Mr. Connery and I had some misunderstandings at work before, so I still want to find an opportunity to explain."

Sir?Jane understood that this meant not wanting to reveal his identity.

"Okay, I see, it's noon tomorrow."

The author has something to say: Jane: There is a dish holder for food, and a meal holder for rice. I am the one who plays with it~
