[Comprehensive Classics] Different Jane

Jane didn't know there was such a thing, but she did feel that the chef was not very friendly to her. BUT, who cares about him?

The chef did not have any influence on Jane, but reminded the earl that he thought he had an obligation to do something for Jane, and the earl decided to hand over his candidate for housekeeper to Jane.

"You are... Zhao?" Jane looked at the boy in front of her in surprise.

"Good morning, Mrs. Holmes."

Compared with a few years ago, Zhao has changed dramatically.The Hua country boy who was crying and panicking back then has now grown into a half-grown young man who is indifferent, serious and serious.

The hair on the forehead grew back, the braids at the back were cut short, and Zhao's hairstyle became a little bun.He was wearing a shirt and vest, and leather shoes on his feet. If you don't look at his appearance, he is no different from other working boys of the same age.

Jane also asked Heidi before, and Heidi said that the Earl sent Zhao and Sherlock's companion to England together. Jane knew who she was talking about, so she didn't ask any more questions, thinking she had already returned.

"His current name is Jason Zhao." The earl said, "Mycroft asked him to study with me a few years ago. Ali was very optimistic about this kid in front of me. He is still qualified as an apprentice, and now he can do things alone. It’s done well. Mycroft can’t afford to run errands at work now, I think let him follow you.” For fear that Jane didn’t understand what he meant, the earl added: “Let him follow you for now, wait Let Jason go back with you when you return to London in the future."

Still go to him to study, this is nonsense.Jane didn't quite understand why the earl gave her a servant, but seeing Zhao...Jason didn't show any reluctance, so she agreed.

After Jason officially became Jane's little follower, Jane found that he was super powerful. He could run errands and other things by analogy. Tea and coffee can also be eloquently spoken, and clothing accessories can also be given opinions.

All-rounder!

Think about Toby, who is avoiding literacy and getting fatter in the dessert shop, and then look at Jason, who stands tall and straight like a small green pine... What is the gap, this is the gap.

Well, but the goals of the two people's lives are different, and there is nothing to compare.

Jason was really very capable, and Jane really boasted of him in her letter to Mycroft.

Speaking of which, Mycroft has always wanted to find a servant, but Mycroft himself is too picky. To find a servant, he must be smart, hardworking, tight-lipped, and faithful, so that Mycroft Foot has changed eight candidates so far, but he still hasn't found a suitable servant.

Jane felt that Mycroft would be satisfied with Jason.

With Jason, Jane has a feeling that life is very convenient. If you are generous, you tend to gain weight. When Jane didn't notice, her clothes were two sizes too big, and her whole body became a lot rounder. Not to mention her stomach.Now Jane no longer has to worry about whether she is pregnant or fat, because...she is pregnant and fat.

Jane's belly was so pregnant that she would never mistake it for being fat, and the clothes she brought before couldn't fit anymore. It should be said that she couldn't wear any other skirts except for the high waist.Heidi and Mrs. Holmes's frenzied tailoring of dresses finally came in handy.

Every few days, Jane has something that she "wants to eat but can't sleep", but there is also food that is always unacceptable, that is, various aquatic products.

Whether it's seawater fish or freshwater fish, whether it's shrimp, crab or shells, whether it's meat or grass in water, anyway, as long as it's aquatic products, as long as it smells like water, Jane can't stand it.As soon as she smelled that smell, Jane would vomit wildly. Once Jason went out and passed a man carrying salted fish.

The count also had to give up the fish soup that was a must for every meal on the table, and in fact all dishes related to fish disappeared from the table.

This situation continued until Jane and Mrs. Holmes returned to England.

Jane and Mrs. Holmes returned to England later than previously expected, partly because Jane suddenly fell in love with a vanilla drink, which was not available in England.Secondly... Do you still remember the Persian king who sent three princes first because he was afraid of cholera?He is in Vienna.Although his behavior is somewhat funny, he himself is a very embarrassing VIP.

The newspapers in Vienna reported early on that the Persian king named Naser al-Din was so ostentatious that the luggage servants used a whole train to transport it.The emperor and empress of Austria, yes, Franz Joseph I and Princess Sissi, one of the two most famous beauties in Europe, also decided to hold a banquet to entertain the king.

The King of Persia stayed in the most luxurious hotel in Vienna. When he arrived, the earl was taking Heidi, Jane, and Mrs. Holmes to eat in the box of the hotel. "Arabian Nights" is full of exotic and luxurious scenes.

Speaking of which, this king is not an unknown person, but the way he left his name is related to the beautiful queen.At the welcoming ball a few days later, the king would famously say to the queen, "God! How beautiful is this woman!"

Jane said softly: "I really hope to witness the queen's beauty once. I don't know who is more beautiful, she or Heidi."

"How can I compare with the queen?" Heidi immediately refused.

"Not necessarily." Jane also paid attention to Princess Sissi's information because of a certain movie. She thought that Heidi was better just by looking at her face, but Princess Sissi had a free, unrestrained and rebellious temperament, while Heidi It is more gentle and melancholy.

At this time, Mrs. Holmes also said, "I don't know if she is beautiful or not, but the queen must not be happy."

"Ah? How do you know, Eugenie?" Heidi didn't understand.

Mrs. Holmes tapped the table with her fan, and said: "This Her Majesty the Empress is not at the Vienna court all year round. She travels and recuperates abroad all the year round. She neither lives with her husband nor with her own children. It can be seen that she His married life was not happy. I heard that the fiancée of His Majesty the Emperor was personally appointed by Empress Sophia, she was the Empress’s sister, but the Emperor married Empress Elizabeth against the Empress Dowager’s will. How much of this was because of love and how much was Because of power?"

"No, can't it?" Heidi didn't really want to believe it. She still felt that the love between His Majesty Joseph I and Princess Sissi was beautiful and pure, just like the prince and princess she imagined.Unexpectedly, when she said that, the other three turned their heads to look at her.

Jane first has something to say, "I heard that the queen made a lot of efforts when Hungary was merged into Austria, but look what she got? Gossip? Disappearing in the court again? If she uses this to expand her influence There is still something to do, but I heard that the relationship between the nobles in Vienna and the queen is not good."

"But what does this have to do with the emperor? He didn't do anything." Heidi didn't understand.

In Jane's view, the emperor didn't do anything, isn't that the biggest problem?My queen doesn't get along with noble wives, my queen is rumored to be with other men, and my queen doesn't live with me all the year round. As someone's husband, Your Majesty the Emperor, you don't feel at all if you just let it go. Is this plausible?

Heidi is a political novice, and the Earl never talks to her about politics, but today, with Mrs. Holmes and Jane here, he is still willing to talk about it.

"The Empress Dowager was a formidable woman, and Her Majesty Joseph I was able to take over her role. However, His Majesty Joseph I probably did not want another queen similar to his mother, so he rejected the candidate that the Empress Dowager favored. , and choose the younger current queen who doesn't understand anything."

Stripped of its fairytale garb, the essence of love at first sight and true love is nothing more than power and political ends.This made Heidi a little difficult to accept for a while. Although she herself was a princess, she was still very young at that time and had not been exposed to politics. Because of the love of her parents, her memory of court life was still very good.

Mrs. Holmes thinks that there are marriages between the royal family, how many couples are really happy in marriage?Most queens and queens only have their energies on public careers or their children. Isn't that true even for the Crown Princess of England?

And Princess Sissi is special. When her mother-in-law was there, she had a physical aversion to Vienna, and she fell ill as soon as she came back. Now she is letting herself go, traveling all over Europe to recuperate.

Seeing Heidi's deeply shocked look, Jane comforted her, "In fact, the emperor still has feelings for the empress, otherwise how could she be so free and not in Austria all the year round?" It's just that love is not so important compared to other things. That's all.

I think that Jane also fell into the trap of Princess Sissi because of this fairy tale love story, but after checking the real history, she found that Joseph I did not delay him in finding a mistress while promoting his appearance as a lover.Princess Sissi is also quite strange, she encourages her husband to find a mistress while not returning to China... Maybe she doesn't really love her husband. When she became queen, she was only 15 years old, so what right did she have to choose?

It took a lot of time for the king of Persia to check in, and the four of them didn't wait too long, and went home first after eating.But I don't know if it was the good luck brought by the king, but Jane actually saw Princess Sissi, whom she had always missed, a few days later.

At that time, Jane and Heidi were taking a walk in the square, which was a daily exercise that Jane strongly demanded. Suddenly a carriage stopped beside the square not far away, and a well-dressed young woman got out of the car to buy from a flower girl. There was a bouquet of flowers, and another woman in the car stuck her head out and waved something.

Jane was talking to Heidi, and she accidentally saw this scene. She didn't pay attention at first glance, but at the second glance, she realized that the person in the carriage should be Her Majesty the Queen.

This was supposed to be a private outing, the queen wore a grass green short-sleeved crinoline dress, and a light gauze could not hide her appearance.She had very nice brown hair and slender, powerful arms outstretched.Her appearance is dignified and generous, very similar to the pictures that Jane has seen on the materials. Although she is not bright, she is still beautiful. Innocence and innocence.
