[Comprehensive Classics] Different Jane

In the kitchen, Belle was cooking soup while instructing the maid to boil water. The maid was still muttering: "Who's family has so many things to do to have a baby? It's a waste to boil so much water."

"Bailey," Mycroft called out loudly, "if anyone in the family doesn't want to do it, pay her right away and let her go."

Belle glared at the day laborer who shrugged his head, and said to Mycroft: "Sir, please don't pay attention to the words of these people who don't understand anything, oh, we didn't notice that you came back, Jason just went to buy Candle, did you see him?"

"Yes, I saw him at the door. Jane, she, well, I mean--"

"My wife is having a baby. Congratulations, sir."

"Thanks, I mean, when is she going to be born?"

"This is really silly, sir, how do we know." Bailey pointed to the pot, "There is only soup and bread at night, do you want some, sir?

"...Okay, give me a bowl."

Mycroft ate a bowl of soup and two slices of bread restlessly, and then saw Nina rushing in and said, "Intermission! My wife said I want to eat something."

"It's been prepared a long time ago." Belle immediately poured out a bowl of boiled eggs in sugar water from a small pot, "Be careful not to spill it."

"That's great." Nina walked away with the bowl in hand.

Mycroft: Intermission? (Stunned.jpg)

Not only those who give birth have to take a break, but everyone else also has to take a break... The deliverers also have to eat, but they can't eat slowly as usual to make a quick decision.

Not long after, Jason bought two dozen candles and came back. After dark, he lit ten first, lighting up the entire delivery room as if it were daytime, and there was almost no place to put candles.

After tossing and tossing until almost ten o'clock in the evening, Jane finally gave birth to her next daughter.

Mycroft burst into tears when his daughter, who was as red as an ugly monkey, was cleaned and held in front of him.

"What are you doing, Mycroft," said Mrs. Holmes amusedly.

"Oh, I don't know why..." Mycroft wiped his face in embarrassment, and looked down at Xiaotuanzi pretending nothing happened, "Well, then she's called..."

"Oluos," said Mrs. Holmes suddenly.

Mycroft: "..."

"Oloise Holmes, what do you think of that name, Mycroft?"

Mycroft was dying, "The matter of the name...do I have to ask Jane? After all, she was born."

"I've asked her and she said it's traditional for firstborns to be named by their grandparents, and I've also talked to your dad and he said if your first child is a boy it's him and if it's a girl it's me name." Mrs. Holmes spoke plausibly.

Mycroft: "..." You are so thoughtful and still ask me why... No, why hasn't anyone told me?

Things have been like this, and Mycroft can't resist his own mother, so the newly baked dumpling is called Olos Holmes.

At the prompt of Mrs. Holmes, Mycroft hurriedly wrote letters to inform all relatives and friends, and with the help of others, he moved to the pre-cleared "confinement room" and began to formally practice European-style confinement.

Jane had heard that milk might not be available after the first birth, so she asked Mycroft to buy a milk-producing sheep in advance and keep it in the old house of the Holmes family.If she does not have enough milk, this sheep will be the nurse of Holmes in the future. If she has enough milk, this sheep will be used to make soup.

Hmm, no problem.

Mrs. Holmes continued to take care of Jane for a few more days, until she could arrange everything well, and then she went back to the old house. By the way, she had to tell Mr. Holmes the new granddaughter and her name.

The novice parents are naturally in a hurry. Although Mycroft's house has many rooms, the room Jane lives in now is two rooms away from him, but the cute Olos turns into a howling madman at night. No room can prevent Mycroft from being woken up in the middle of the night... Mycroft went to work with dark circles under his eyes for several days, which was really painful and happy.

The weather in London seemed to be celebrating the birth of Xiaotuanzi. For more than ten days in a row, the weather was sunny without a trace of haze.Although it is already spring, the outdoor temperature is still not high. As usual, after the wind passes through, the windows are closed tightly, and the fire in the fireplace is also burning vigorously. It's just right.

Oulos, who is still cute during the day, is placed on a small bed that can be shaken, and the small bed is pushed to the window, where the sun is basking. She is wearing a diaper and a one-piece cardigan with few hairs. He also wears a small eyelid on his head to shade him from the sun.Jane was also placed by the window. She was tightly wrapped and half lying on a soft couch, but she could see Olos when she looked up.

Oulos, who was only over a month old, had just drank milk, and was drowsy at the moment. She closed her eyes and raised her hands above her head comfortably, smacking her mouth as if she was reminiscing about the neinei she had just drank.Jane looked at her daughter, and felt how cute she looked, but just watching her squirm her mouth, Jane felt very excited.

Belle came in with a glass of milk, "Ma'am, there is your letter." She said and put the milk on the small table by Jane's hand, and handed the package of letters in the tray to Jane.

At first glance, it was a letter from Longborn, and only there would the letters be sent as parcels, because there were too many.

"Thanks, Belle, what are the others doing?" Jane asked as she drank her milk slowly.

Belle grinned, "They're all washing the baby's diapers. The washing machine Mr. bought is pretty good, and it's very convenient to wash diapers. Jason is peeling potatoes, and I have to make lunch with him later. , do you have anything to eat, madam?"

"Let's make soup, potatoes and mutton stew."

"Ok."

After Belle left, Jane opened the letter, folded all the letter papers in order, and then began to read Mr. Bennet's letter.Speaking of which, the last time Jane wrote to her family was in Vienna.

Mr. Bennet's letters are always written first, everyone is well, the harvest is good, my mother is good, the children are also well, and of course my father and I are also well.Jane scanned the paragraph quickly, then read on.

It turned out that Jane had written two letters in Vienna, one was about her pregnancy, and the other was about her going back to England. Because it was inconvenient to receive letters, Jane asked her family not to reply to the letter in the letter, and waited for her to write when she returned to England. .As a result, the two letters went through ups and downs and crossed the sea, and finally arrived in England later than Jane. When everyone in Longbourn learned that Jane was pregnant, she was about to give birth, so Jane did not receive a reply. it will be so late.

It turned out to be the case.

Then Mr. Bennet asked Jane how the baby was, whether it was born, what name it was going to be called, etc...

Next, Mr. Bennet said a big event, Netherfield Gardens was rented out, and the people who rented the house were two young and promising (money) gentlemen.

One named Darcy, he is a super rich man, it is said that his annual income is [-] pounds, but it is not known whether it is true or not.But although Mr. Darcy is rich and good-looking, he has a bad temper. He seems to have an upturned nostril no matter who he sees. Everyone privately says that he is not easy to get along with.

The other is named Bentley. He has a cute appearance and an amiable personality. He has an annual income of more than 4000 pounds, but this is not the point, the point is!

He, Mr. Bingley with an annual income of more than 4000 pounds!It was love at first sight for the second lady of the Bennet family, Elizabeth Bennet!

what's the situation!

Jane felt as if a bolt of lightning had pierced into her head, which had been pregnant for three years.

Liz and... Bentley! ?

Varied!What! Situation! Situation!

Jane immediately sat up straight and browsed quickly, but Mr. Bennet had no talent for storytelling at all, and he didn't care much about trivial matters. The content of the letter was probably because Mrs. Bennet couldn't wait to share it and asked Mr. Bennet to be sure It had to be written, and the content was written very dryly.

Jane sighed secretly, and turned to Elizabeth's letter again.Elizabeth's letter is also written very plainly, which does not reflect her advantages as an author at all.

Elizabeth asked first about Jane's children, then about her and Bingley.

Elizabeth said they had a good conversation, and that Bingley had a good sense of literature.Regarding her marriage, Elizabeth did not hesitate at all. She admitted in the letter that she had a good impression of Bingley and had a common language, and she believed that Bingley also had the same feelings for her.

Another point that is very attractive to Elizabeth is that Bingley's words revealed that he is not disgusted with Elizabeth's writing career. If they can get married, Elizabeth believes that she can still continue her writing.

This...isn't it a little unreliable?

Fortunately, there are reliable people. Mary told everything in detail. Like Elizabeth, she first asked if the child was born, who he looked like, and what his name was, and then he talked about Bingley and Darcy. What happened after the group came to Longborn.

Jane looked a bit like the plot of a novel she had read before, except that the protagonists of the story were replaced by Elizabeth and Bingley.Mr. Darcy is still unpopular because of his personality, and of course he doesn’t care, but he seems to have changed from a leading role to a supporting role, except for Lydia who unilaterally quarreled with him because he heard him commenting on her sister in private. Treat him with respect.

Mr. Bingley still comes with his two sisters, but these two sisters were not Elizabeth's opponents in the original book, and they are not now.

Mary also talked about another thing. She traveled to Cambridge alone for a few days a few months ago. It has always been her regret that she studied there but did not really see this city. Then she met Sherlock Holmes.

Sherlock said that one of his classmates was injured because of a fencing competition with him, and Mary agreed to look after him for three days.

In the letter, Mary said that Sherlock, a classmate, is very weird. It doesn't matter if he doesn't look like a good family man. After two days of fever, he woke up and said he was a prince, hahaha.

The author has something to say: Jane: Mary, that’s not how good women and men work!
