[Comprehensive Classics] Different Jane

Jane and Mrs. Bennet were not involved in the couch discussion, and were positioned to see the window.Mrs. Bennet looked out happily, and said, "Our Jane is still the most charming, look, she has come here from London."

"Huh?" Jane didn't know where the words came from, "Mummy, what are you talking about?"

Mrs. Bennet still thought Jane was embarrassed, she understood, she whispered to Jane: "Oh, isn't it the little Mr. Holmes, he came all the way from London to spend Christmas with you, hey, You said, will he propose to you? But he seems to be as old as you, 15 years old seems a bit too young, but you can get engaged first..."

"Mommy!" Jane yelled suddenly.

"Oh my mother." Mrs. Bennet, who was thinking about it, was startled by the sound, "Why are you calling so loudly, I can hear you."

"Sherlock is just a normal friend of mine, and he didn't come for me. Christmas is because he had a fight with his family. He hasn't been to Longbourne so he just dropped by. I already asked him. "Jane said with mixed truths, "Also, Mommy, have you forgotten the "Law of Inheritance"? Sherlock is the youngest son. For his future life, if he wants to get married, his parents will definitely find him A rich lady, the exact opposite of me, has nothing to do with his own will." No wonder!

Because there is no son, the "Law of Inheritance" may be the only law that Mrs. Bennet cares about. In addition, Jane's words sound very reasonable, and Mrs. Bennet can't help thinking about it.That's the way it is. Little Holmes is the youngest son and he will get nothing in the future. If Holmes and his wife really love him, they must find him a rich lady as his wife.

Mrs. Bennet, who thought she had figured it out, felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured into her fiery heart. "Oh, it's true, alas, Jane, you still have to figure it out." Mrs. Bennet said regretfully and regrettably.

Mr. Bennet, who was sitting aside and reading the newspaper, coughed and glanced at his wife.It was an out-of-the-box thing, my wife really thought too much.

"They're back!" The four Miss Bennets who were hiding behind the curtains jumped off the sofa together, quickly spread out and sat on other chairs, and picked up the props at hand to pretend to be busy.

Mycroft and Sherlock knocked on the door and came in. Mr. Bennet put down the newspaper and stood up, "It seems that your misunderstanding has been resolved, right?"

"Yes, Mr. Bennet." Mycroft said with a smile, and Sherlock walked out behind him expressionlessly, nodded to Mr. Bennet, and walked upstairs.

Jane thought for a while, put down the things in her hands and followed.

"What's the matter?" Jane asked Sherlock standing at the door of the guest room.

"We will stay here for a few more days, Mycroft told me to move out." Sherlock slowly packed his things.

Jian Mingran, Sherlock is only 15 years old and still a student, it's okay to live in his house, but Mycroft is already a grown man, so it's a bit inconvenient to live here, besides, he can't live there.

"Did he say where to live?" Jane asked.

"Probably going to church." Sherlock didn't ask, just guessed.

"If you want to go to Meryton, I remember there is a small hotel there, you can go there." Jane came up to tell Sherlock this.

Sherlock didn't have many things, so he packed them up while talking, and he came downstairs with the suitcase. Mycroft and Mr. Bennet were talking happily. Seeing Sherlock coming down, he said: "Mr. Well, he's going to Meryton with us."

After a while, the conversation was pleasant, and Sherlock was used to it. He didn't know that Mr. Bennet had invited Mycroft and him to dinner two days later.

Although Mycroft also came alone, he was not a bachelor like Sherlock.Before Jane went to pick up Sherlock, she went to the post office to send a telegram to Mycroft, "sh", and Mycroft understood it at a glance.Mr. Holmes was almost pissed off by his youngest son. He thought Sherlock wandered outside for a day in a fit of anger, but he never imagined that this boy wandered out of London and went to someone's house for Christmas.

outrageous!

So here comes Mycroft.

This is not easy for Mycroft, he is different from the restless Sherlock, Mycroft is very quiet, he is a master who can sit but not stand, can work him out of London... Anyway Sherlock still instinctively behaved a lot.

There were always balls in winter, usually organized by the gentry of Meryton in rotation.This year's ball was held by Mr. Morris, and they were going to settle in Longbourn officially. Holding a ball meant that everyone would get to know each other.The location of the ball was naturally chosen at Netherfield Gardens.

Wow, that's Netherfield, and all the ladies in Meryton are trying to get an invitation, but anyone who is worthy is actually invited.

Mycroft participated and was introduced to everyone as the son of Mr. Bennet's old friend. He held an important position at a young age, and he had a promising future. Others may not be aware of it, but Mr. Morris is very clear.

Mr. Morris was originally forced to retire because he was on the wrong team. He didn't expect such an opportunity unexpectedly. He naturally praised Mycroft and hoped to gain something.

In the eyes of people who don't know the truth, Mr. Morris is very fond of Mr. Bennet's nephew. In the eyes of those who are interested, he will naturally elevate Mr. Bennet. Unfortunately, Bennet, who has no political sensitivity Mr. knows nothing about it.

The Miss Bennets were not old enough to participate in the ball, and Jane only learned about the situation from the descriptions of Mr. and Mrs. Bennet after they came back.

Afterwards, Mycroft and Sherlock attended a New Year's gathering in Meryton, which made Jane feel a little strange. To be honest, Mycroft would not talk about it, but Sherlock really would not attend this kind of gathering man.

(゜ロ゜;)? ?

The New Year's party is an open-air event open to all, and the Miss Bennets finally have a chance to show off their Christmas presents (handkerchiefs).

"Jane." Charlotte finally got rid of her mother and came to find her. She was already in her 20s, but because of the previous divorce dispute with Georgia Wynn, no one cared about her marriage, so she was inevitably nagged by Mrs. Lucas.

"Charlotte." Jane beckoned to her friend, "how is it? Are the shoes suitable?" Jane gave Charlotte a pair of shoes as a gift when she came back. She had borrowed Charlotte's shoes before, so she knew her size.

"Why is it so expensive? It's expensive, right? I haven't thanked you in person before. You know, the holidays are always very busy." Charlotte patted Jane. Although she was several years older than Jane, she never Treat Jane like a child.

Charlotte is much older than her younger siblings, and her looks and personality are not likable enough, so she is the one who is ignored most of the time.Every time Jane saw Charlotte's sisters, she wondered what she would become if she didn't educate Lydia well.

"It's not expensive shoes, don't hold them back, happy new year." Jane said indifferently.

"Happy New Year." Charlotte was not too entangled.She looked behind Jane and saw Mycroft just in time. "Is that your guest?" asked Charlotte.

"Yes, they are Sherlock Holmes." Jane glanced at Charlotte and joked, "Do you need me to introduce you? Mrs. Lucas is watching us."

"Oh, forget it, leave my mother alone." Charlotte shook her head, not hiding it in front of Jane, "My mother has been asking my father to meet Mr. Holmes before the dance, but he didn't invite him for the whole dance. There is a lady dancing, if I tell you, I am afraid that all the thoughtful ladies here will be disappointed." Is that the person who will look for a partner in such a small place at first sight, okay?

Charlotte is a smart person, so Jane doesn't mind revealing a few words, "They just stopped by to visit for two days, and they will go back soon." The husband also explained it in the same way, and Jane especially thought of the reason.

"Okay, don't talk about those unreliable men, let's talk about you." Charlotte looked at Jane, "You have grown a lot taller. I heard that you went to Cambridge Town, how is it there? "

"It's actually quite good." Jane was a little helpless. For some reason, when everyone talked about her going to Cambridge, everyone regarded her as a poor little girl who was going to be tortured.

I'm going to be the boss, not the maid, thank you.

Jane felt that this rumor could still be salvaged.

"Actually, I first proposed going out to study. Mrs. Wood is a super powerful person. If it wasn't for this time, I wouldn't even know my dad knew such a person." Jane pretended to be very happy, "And now Sherlock is sending It was a professor from Cambridge University who lived there, and he took us to the Cambridge University library."

Charlotte couldn't help being jealous when she heard it, "I can see it, you're just showing off to me."

"What are you talking about? Isn't it the topic you brought up first? I was forced to do this."

Charlotte: "..." Winter makes my hands itchy, and I want to knock something to get better.

Jane and Charlotte were talking, when Mycroft came up suddenly.

"Ms. Jane, hello, this is..." Although she didn't have an Oscar, Jane felt that Mycroft's acting skills were worth learning for Sherlock.

"This is Miss Charlotte Lucas, my good friend." Jane introduced.

"Hello, Miss Lucas," said Mycroft to Charlotte kindly.

"Hello, Mr. Holmes." Charlotte said very wittily, "I think you probably have something to say, so I'll take my leave first." Before she left, she gave Jane a sympathetic look that puzzled her.

The author has something to say: Jane: Damn brothers, have you ever thought that I am a woman? !
