[Comprehensive Classics] Different Jane

The name of Hogwarts has even been heard by Mycroft in London, and Jane has more correspondence with Mycroft than with her family.

"Sherlock wrote about the dishes you cooked in the letter again. Why do you always let him eat at your place? Does your temporary guardian not care?"

Jane feels innocent, because every time Mrs. Wood is invited, okay?

"My mommy wanted to ask about the cake recipe you wrote last time, why the cake she made exploded in the oven... I also really want to know this question, please, tell me."

Jane: ...why does the cake explode!I have never encountered such a situation! ("▔▔▔)

"Our Jim next door went to Miss Hoskellydie's can-can again yesterday, but no one knows, he's really pretending, and I heard he's planning to marry his boss's daughter."

Jane: And how do you know?

Thinking about how difficult it was for Mycroft, he had to maintain a tall and superior image in front of his parents and brothers, while maintaining an approachable and reliable image in front of his colleagues, so he could only complain to Jane in the letter

Jane Treehole Bennet: =-=

Jane took out the paper and pen and started to take notes. This is actually a small game between Jane and Mycroft. He will ask a small question after complaining, which Jane finds it very interesting.

Sometimes Jane also thinks that Mycroft is humorous and gentlemanly, and never underestimates anyone, including women, compared to others. Although he has many shortcomings, he is still a good marriage partner~

Hey, it’s a pity, we can only be friends now ╮(╯-╰)╭

Jane turned to the end of the letter. Mycroft's question today is that one of his colleagues has two illegitimate children. Excuse me, who is it?

Look at your leisure!

Well, Jane has a good understanding of Mycroft's usual boring life, let's move on to the next paragraph.

……what?

Hey hey hey hey!

Mycroft is coming to Cambridge Town? !

"Dear friend, you can tell me the answer in person next time we meet...Surprise or not?" Mycroft wrote at the end of the letter.

Are you happy now?

Jane forcibly calmed down, and found that she was really pleasantly surprised, they hadn't seen each other for almost a year.

Jane read the letter again, and it was true that Mycroft was coming to Cambridge, but he did not say when.And judging from the last handwriting written by Mycroft, he is also looking forward to coming to Cambridge Town. Jane always feels that what he wrote is not "you can tell me the answer yourself when we meet next time", but "next time When we meet for the first time, you must give me the delicious food that Sherlock has eaten."

"Mrs. Olivia, Mrs. Olivia." Jane ran out of the room to find Mrs. Wood, "Sherlock's brother, my friend, Mycroft is coming, can I invite him to my house for dinner?"

Mrs. Wood raised her head and took off her glasses, "Is that the one you often correspond with?"

"Well, yes." Jane nodded.

"Okay." Mrs. Wood agreed very simply, and then continued to read her book.

Addicted to the novel can not extricate themselves!

Before Mycroft came, the weather in Cambridge suddenly changed. It rained heavily for several days, and the temperature dropped immediately.

Jane immediately removed the refreshing cakes, puddings, and biscuits from the previous store, and replaced them with chocolate brownies, cheese bread, cheese tarts, and donuts and souffles with thick syrup.

Hogwarts has even introduced a new coffee - the new coffee is filled with the same amount of black coffee in twice the size of the cup, and the remaining space is filled with sweet cream.This coffee was immediately loved by young people with insufficient calories. Uncles who have always advertised that black coffee is justice also secretly ordered a cup in the corner, and then drank it in satisfaction.

The rain has reduced the passenger flow, and Jane doesn’t need to make too many snacks every day, but the business at Hogwarts is still as good as ever. Many young people in the university bet with their friends, and those who lose will come to Hogwarts in the rain Pack a lot of snacks and go back to share equally.

Ben also learned a new way of packing. In order to prevent the snacks from getting wet in the rain, he had to wrap each snack individually in paper, and then wrapped them in several layers with several large sheets of paper, layered on top of each other. Layers are stacked, and finally tied with rope.Although it is ugly to hold, the waterproof effect is not bad, so it is well received.

It also rained heavily on the day Mycroft and Sherlock came to visit.

"This is my brother, Mycroft Holmes." Sherlock acted as an introducer. "This is Mrs. Wood."

"Good day, Mrs. Wood, long time no see, Miss Bennet." Mycroft greeted politely, and presented the small gift he brought.

Today, Mycroft and Sherlock came in very formal clothes to show their importance.

"Come in, it's raining hard outside." Mrs. Wood gave way. "Hang up your coat here, and go warm yourself by the fire."

"Yes, thank you, Mrs. Wood, you are very kind."

When she saw Mycroft for the first time, Mrs. Wood really had some doubts for a moment. Is he really Sherlock's brother?Why doesn't it look like it?

I don’t mean much like here, I don’t mean looks, but Mycroft visits like an ordinary young man: with gifts (Sherlock never brings them), and polite words (Sherlock sometimes chokes to death when he speaks) ), and chatting (Sherlock was the king of silence at the beginning, and then gradually got better).

But Mrs. Wood thought about it again, probably because of such a brother, Sherlock would be allowed to develop the arrogant and cute look he is now.After all, Mycroft, as the eldest son, will inherit all the resources of the Holmes family, including politics and economy. Sherlock, who does not need to bear any family responsibilities, can completely rely on his brother's relief.

After a few civilities with Mycroft, Mrs Wood left the reception room to the three children, and went to the kitchen to see how lunch was being prepared;

Watching Mrs. Wood leave, Jane and Mycroft looked at each other for a few seconds, and Jane showed a puzzled smile, "Long time no see, Mycroft."

"Yes, Jane, it's been almost a year since we met last time, and you've grown a lot." Mycroft said in the same friendly manner. The atmosphere between the two was like friends for many years, not that they haven't seen each other for nearly a year. Pen pals who met before (and who didn't know each other when they first met).

Jane: "You too, and you're getting fat."

Mycroft: "..."

Sherlock sneered, "Let me just say, Mycroft, you've gained at least five pounds."

"It's only three pounds, actually." Mycroft said quickly, and then he covered his forehead. "Why do we have to talk about this when we meet?"

"Uh, it's actually not that fat." Jane immediately changed her words to comfort her, "And you see, Sherlock is still fat."

Now it was Sherlock's turn to roll his eyes, "I'm sorry I'm still a boy, it's normal to be a little fatter, and you should see that I've grown a lot taller than fatter."

Jane felt it was time to end the subject, and she said, "Mycroft, do you still remember the question you wrote in your last letter, you said I could tell you in person... My answer is, it is that pocket that often puts people with things."

"The answer is correct, but you have to..."

"Wait." Sherlock interrupted Mycroft angrily. "You two are playing guessing games in the letter? Why don't I know?"

You didn't take me to play, so happy!

"Hmm..." Mycroft rubbed his chin. "Actually, as I said, they are all people who work there. I asked you before, but you said you were not interested."

The words were a bit out of date, but Sherlock immediately remembered that there was such a thing. "Oh." Sure enough, Sherlock was not interested, and drank his tea calmly.

simple:"……"

Mycroft: "..."

This kid's emotional intelligence is really worrying.

"Children, dinner is ready." Mrs. Wood knocked on the door.

Everyone sat down one by one in the restaurant, and Mycroft praised the dishes on the table: "It looks delicious."

Mrs. Wood nodded calmly, "Then eat more."

A table of dishes was actually prepared by Jane and Dwyer early in the morning. When Jane was entertaining the Holmes brothers, Dwyer was setting the table.

Dwyer served everyone a bowl of chicken soup and vegetable soup. This dish was made with chicken soup, mushrooms, carrots, and spinach, with a little vinegar added, which was both warm and appetizing.The chicken used to cook chicken soup was also fished out and made a salad with celery, carrots, onions, lettuce, and cucumbers, so nothing was wasted.

The main course is beef stew with red wine, and the main meal is beef pie, which is quite good.

British local pies are always hard to describe, but the beef pies made by Jane are so delicious that people can't get enough of them. Sherlock ate three of them in one go, and everyone was shocked by his.The appetite of adolescent boys is like a bottomless pit, and Mycroft was a little envious of the thin body that his brother inherited from his father for a moment.

There is also a complete vegetarian dish, the cabbage heart is cut into sections, bright green and neatly stacked on the plate, and garlic is sprinkled on top.Mycroft has never seen such a way of eating. He usually doesn't like to eat green vegetables, because he thinks that most leafy vegetables always have a strange astringent taste on his tongue after eating. He doesn't like that feeling, so he is just being polite. He forked a choy sum and put it in his mouth.

Hmm... very crispy, very sweet, completely authentic, without any astringent taste after eating.Is... really Cai Xin?delicious~

"How many days are you planning to stay in Cambridge this time?" Jane asked Mycroft, "Are you here to see Sherlock?"

"I'd love to say 'yes' but I'd be lying to you if I said that, it's actually for work and I'm here for a Dr. Electra Oates." Mycroft Te lightly forked a piece of potato into his mouth.The potatoes were so soft and soaked up the beef broth that they slid down the gullet without much chewing, so fast that Mycroft felt he hadn't even tasted it yet and needed another piece.

"Oh." Jane nodded, and then suddenly came back to her senses, "So the British government wants to start researching aircraft? Could it be preparing for war?"

"Cough, cough, cough..." Mycroft was choked suddenly, he coughed so violently that Jane had to stand up and pour him a glass of wine under Mrs. Wood's gesture.

Under Mrs. Wood's worried inquiry, Mycroft naturally changed the subject.

The author has something to say: Mrs. Wood: Not a bad boy

Sherlock: You don't play with me! (o‵-′)ノ

Mycroft: Can I have some more?

Jane: ...you are getting fat, hee hee (*￣ω￣)
