[Comprehensive Classics] Different Jane

Fortunately, Sherlock's appearance has changed drastically, but his voice has not changed, otherwise Jane would not be sure to recognize him.

Jane sat under the stage, looking at Sherlock who was speaking passionately on the stage.This should be a new play, and the story comes from ancient Greek myths and legends. Jane didn't know which myth it was, but she could tell that Sherlock only played a small supporting role, because he ended up soon.

The Queen's Theater is a famous big theater, but not every day there are performances by big troupes. When there are no big troupes, the theater will find some lesser-known small troupes to maintain its popularity.This kind of small troupe often has no guarantee of quality and is often short of people, which is why Sherlock has more part-time jobs like this.

As soon as he got off the stage, Sherlock threw the terrifying cloak aside, his role was over, and Sherlock squeezed through the crowd, greeting others perfunctorily.He really regretted that he should have taken the initiative to help the female lead of this small troupe find the perverted suitor who wrote her a love letter anonymously, and now everyone looked at him strangely.

Sherlock walked to the sink, turned on the faucet, and rudely washed off the makeup on his face. Fortunately, it was just some simple makeup and no oily substances were used, otherwise it would be difficult to wash it off with just his washing.

"Mr. Cumberbatch, Mr. Cumberbatch." A freckled red-haired boy ran up, "Someone out there asked me to give you this." The boy held up a small note folded in half.

"Really, thank you, Fred." Sherlock took out a large cloth handkerchief from his pocket, wiped all the water from his head, face, and beard, and wiped his hands before taking the note.

"Fred! Fred! Brat, where have you gone?" A hoarse voice came from the crowd.

"Here I am." Fred boy ran off like a puppy in a flash.

Sherlock watched the boy run away, opened the note, and there was only one word on the note: "Hobbes".

Looking at the familiar handwriting, Sherlock scratched his beard helplessly.

Hobbs is not a puzzle, but a shop diagonally opposite the Queen's Theatre. Sherlock quickly found his target - a small carriage parked in front of the shop.He stepped forward and knocked on the carriage, and the door opened from the inside immediately, and Sherlock got in.

Jane pretended to be a man again for the convenience of going out, and Sherlock was frustrated by her attire. It was difficult to tell Jane's gender without a close look, and Sherlock hadn't reached this level yet.

"Tsk tsk." Jane looked Sherlock up and down like a man, and it looked even more desolate and smelly from a closer look.

"You actually made yourself like this. It can be seen that places like India really train people, but this is a good thing for you." After opening his mouth, the young man uttered Jane's voice, and the sense of disobedience was overwhelming.

"How did you find me?" Sherlock asked curiously.Sherlock knew that if Mycroft had found him, he would have come by himself instead of asking Jane to come, so Jane found him first.

"Of course I have my channel." Jane resisted the urge to cover her nose, "But if you don't want me to find it, you shouldn't use the name Benedict Cumberbatch, you should know that it will remind me .”

Sherlock rolled his eyes, "Can the name of a theater handyman reach your ears?"

Jane tapped Sherlock with her cane, "Anyway, if we come to the Queen's Theater a few more times, we will always find you. Do you think you are hiding well?"

"Not necessarily." Sherlock said, poking his neck.

This time it was Jane who rolled her eyes at Sherlock... In her heart, "Okay, don't talk about these useless things, tell me about you, why did you make yourself like this? Is this a taste of life? Hone your acting skills? Practice Makeup? Still out of money?"

Sherlock: "..."

Sherlock didn't speak for a long time, and Jane thought there was some special reason, but he finally said vaguely: "It's all there."

Okay, okay, I understand, there is no money.

Jane guessed right, a penny is hard for a hero, and Sherlock just has no money.

When he was studying in the past, Sherlock's living expenses were always paid by Mr. Holmes. From his hypocritical life attitude, we can know that he gets quite a lot of living expenses every year.

And because Sherlock is the second son, Mr. Holmes has already planned for him.

He has a share of Sherlock's mother's dowry, but Mrs. Holmes is still alive, so Sherlock can't use the money.Sherlock's grandmother also left him a sum of money, which was put into his own factory by Mr. Holmes. Sherlock can get a dividend every year, not much, but long-term.

Mr. Holmes also bought a stock for Sherlock and deposited a sum of money in the bank. Sherlock can get a sum of interest money every year, which is enough for him every year. It can only be obtained later, because it is his living expenses when he becomes an adult.

Fortunately, Sherlock turned 20 last year, so he got his first money.

Of course, based on the relationship between Mycroft and Sherlock, and Mr. Holmes' understanding of Mycroft, Mr. Holmes has no doubt that Mycroft will support his younger brother for the rest of his life.

But Mr. Holmes also knew Sherlock well, and he would definitely not be willing to be raised by Mycroft for the rest of his life, so these arrangements were very necessary.

It has to be said that Sherlock can get a lot of money by lying in bed every year and doing nothing, which is enough for his independent living expenses, and if he can save money, he can save a fortune.It's just that Sherlock is used to spending money lavishly, so he can't save it, but he has no problem being a happy bachelor.

Mr. Holmes even found a job for Sherlock early on, which was very suitable for his profession. He worked as a technician in a chemical factory, and after a few years of experience, he could become a manager. The job was easy and decent, and he had a lot of free time to do what he liked. It can be said that it took a lot of painstaking efforts.

...that was the case.

But Sherlock has no interest in the work arranged by Mr. Holmes, and he refuses to be a technician.

After graduating, Sherlock claimed that he was going to take a short trip to Europe to relax. He got a sum of money from Mr. Holmes, and brought his newly acquired stocks and deposit interest... and all the cash, from Europe went to the United States, and then from the United States to India through China, and then he lost his money in India... ==

India is really an indescribable country~~╮(￣▽￣")╭

... I will not state the process, anyway, Sherlock finally returned to England by brushing the deck.

When Sherlock set foot on the land of England, he was quite proud. After all, he returned to England entirely on his own (talent), and didn't count on his father and brother at all.

Sherlock's living expenses this year and the travel funds given by Mr. Holmes are all gone. It is not Sherlock's temperament to go home in such a mess.

No matter what, Sherlock would not allow himself to appear in front of his father and Mycroft as a loser.

So after Sherlock found out that five pounds can live well, and five pence can live on, he decided to make a fool of himself before going home, at least to get decent clothes-being a crew member can be worth a ticket, but Can't pay for meals.

But even if Sherlock didn't say how hard this life is, Jane can still imagine it—look at his face and the coarse clothes on him, they all smell—after all, to make a decent pig boy To do the job of a rough man, except for love, there is only poverty.

Jane took out a paper bag from her pocket and handed it to Sherlock. Sherlock didn't understand, so he took it and opened it. Inside was a check for three hundred pounds.

"Why give me this?" Sherlock waved the check with two fingers.

"Hey, did you forget?" Jane leaned lazily on the cushion, and by the way kept away from Sherlock, kicked her cane lightly with her toes and tapped Sherlock's calf, and said, "Before you wrote a letter saying that you would be a detective after graduation. , I also said that I want to invest in you, you won't forget, right?"

"Hmph, of course I remember, you also said that the reward is that if Mycroft asks for my help in the future, I must help him for free." Sherlock thought for a while, stuffed the check back into the paper bag, and put the paper bag into his pocket.

Emmmmmmm...Anyway, accepting funding from Mr. Holmes or Mycroft definitely won't work, but if it's Jane, Sherlock doesn't feel pressured.

"Just take this money as start-up capital," Sherlock said.

"Please clean yourself up and be decent. You think I can find you, but Mycroft can't? Do you want to appear in front of him like this? Oh yes, by the way, Come to my house for dinner next Wednesday. This is not an invitation, but a notice. Your niece is almost half a year old, and you haven't seen her yet!" Jane said angrily.

Sherlock scratched his beard, "What's her name?"

"Olos, Olos Holmes."

"Olos? Volturnus? He is a male god in Greek mythology. You named your daughter a man?"

"Eugenie took it."

"...is a good name."

Mrs. Holmes is one of the few women who can make Sherlock fall in love with her name alone. Sherlock asked tentatively, "Will Mom and Dad come that day?"

Jane glanced at Sherlock and said, "They won't come, but Earl Edmund wrote that he would come to England next month. I guess Mycroft will definitely call you when he invites them to his house."

Sherlock: "..."

Sherlock: "Okay, I have nothing to do. I'm leaving." Annoyed, I don't want to talk, so I leave.

Jane: "Wait a minute, you have to tell me where you live now."

Sherlock didn't want to tell Jane his address. If she knew it, it meant that Mycroft knew it... Well, Jane promised not to tell Mycroft, but Sherlock still felt a little embarrassed.

In the end, Sherlock told Jane, and repeatedly claimed that he would live in another place soon, and then give Jane the new address.

When Jane went back, the more she thought about it, the happier she was. She couldn't help laughing while sitting in the carriage, and the coachman was also startled by the sudden laughter.

Jane is a trustworthy person, she won't tell Mycroft's address unless she tells her, but... She told Mycroft about Sherlock's part-time job at the Queen's Theater ╮(╯3╰)╭

Mycroft thought it was very interesting. He wanted to see Sherlock acting on the stage. It must be very interesting, but he held back, for the sake of his brother's self-esteem.

The author has something to say: Sherlock: Why should I listen to Jane?

Jane: What do you think?
