Jane stayed with her mouth open for ten seconds, and Mycroft just waited for her to recover.Then Jane asked, "Mycroft, are you joking?" Then she retorted herself, "No, you're not one to joke like that, so you mean it? But...why? You know I It's not even eighteen this year, is it?"

"My original plan was to propose to you in a few years." Mycroft made a strange expression, "But I found that I can't wait for so many years, and I can't guarantee that you will marry me in a few years. I won't fall in love with someone suddenly, I dare not bet on this possibility."

"But, why? I think you have many better choices. I know you are a nobleman, and you will inherit the title of Mr. Holmes in the future, while I am just the daughter of a squire. Mycroft, you should be very clear about what this means. What are you talking about?" Jane felt that this matter was a bit absurd, she didn't feel any sense of being proposed, but was here to explore "the reason why she proposed" with her suitor, is there anything more absurd than this?

"No, Jane, of course I know what this means. In fact, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid I wouldn't have found someone else who is willing to enter into a marriage relationship with me." Mycroft tugged at his collar, "I My father once said that Holmes has always been very stubborn and unwilling to wrong himself. If he hadn’t met my mother, I’m afraid there would be no Sherlock and me. Do you remember the first time we met? At Mr. Gardner’s house, we We had a very pleasant conversation, and I was surprised afterwards that I was so harmonious and happy with you, and we even kept in touch with each other, which is incredible to me. Maybe you are surprised by what I said, but Holmes's Affection is rare and precious...we can't stand people, the stupid, the boring, the noisy. But I don't feel that way about you, Jane, you are special."

Jane was puzzled, "This doesn't sound like love."

"I don't know what other people's love is, Jane, but I can be sure that you are the only one. I have never felt this way about other women before, and I will never feel this way about other women. Maybe this is... my love, with others Are they different?" As an inexperienced single dog, Mycroft had never paid attention to what it was like to be teased by others.

"Well, this surprised me, I've never thought of such a thing... No, wait." Jane suddenly looked up at Mycroft, "May I ask you a few questions?"

"of course can."

"You proposed to me, do your parents know?"

"I understand what you mean, Jane, and I can assure you that they won't have any objections." Mycroft said very understandingly, "Given your age, we can get engaged first. For your I am also willing to help with running the business, I also have some small businesses, if you are interested, you can..."

"Wait, wait, Mycroft, don't you think you're a little early?"

"Oh, sorry."

Jane looked at Mycroft helplessly, and asked the next question: "What do you think of my family?"

"Your family?" Now it was Mycroft's turn to be puzzled, and he answered very cautiously, "Your family, Mr. and Mrs. Bennet, they are very kind, I don't think they will object In our marriage, your sisters are also very cute, but it is unclear what will happen to them in the future."

"What a politician's answer." Jane couldn't help stabbing, "Well, I want to say that our family is all country people, and of course they are not as good as those in big cities. Don't you think there is something wrong with them? ?”

"Well, but they're just normal people, well, Jane, your family doesn't look that smart compared to you, but most people in the world are like that. I know what you're worried about, you're worried about me Ashamed of them? No, Jane, sometimes people don't mean to make mistakes, they just don't know the right way to do it. If you are worried that something bad will happen to them when they come to London, we can have someone in advance to tell you what to do .”

So in Mycroft's eyes, the Bennet family is nothing out of the ordinary. This is a euphemism. In his opinion, except for Sherlock Holmes, everyone is equally stupid, emmmmmmmmmmm...

Jane is quite satisfied with Mycroft's answer, although it is suspected of flattering her.

Jane nodded her head lightly, then suddenly realized, "It's the second time, Mycroft, I didn't agree."

Mycroft was very clever. He felt that Jane was agreeing in her heart when she said this, so he quickly held Jane's hand and said affectionately: "Dear Jane, you already know my heart, and I believe that your heart is with mine. Same, I need you, will you be my wife?"

Jane: "I need to think about it."

Mycroft: "..." Huh?Still have to think about it?

Of course you have to think about it. Marriage is a big deal. Although Jane knows that Mycroft is a rare and good candidate, but he is too smart, Jane has a secret that she must never tell others. If she lives with Mycroft, Jane I believe that with his cleverness, one day he will find something is wrong.

Jane doesn't want to challenge the possibility of human nature, so she must figure out Mycroft's tolerance before marriage.

It is a painful thing for a sane person to live in a world of sleep.Jane actually admires Charlotte very much. She has been quite out of tune with the Lucas family since she was a child. Afterwards, Charlotte made the best choice for her whether it was dealing with the marriage contract with Wynn or the marriage with Collins. For her, marriage is just a tool leading to freedom, and this is the benefit of finding a stupid husband... Well, thinking about it this way, Jane Bennet's official Sippie Mr. Bentley is actually a good choice, right?

No matter how clever Mycroft was, he would never have guessed that Jane's mind had changed in a short while, but he knew that today's marriage proposal was a failure.Well, he mustered up his courage, Mycroft thought.

It wasn't a complete failure, at least it gave Jane a sense of confidence. Mycroft, who had calmed down, reflected on himself. He didn't usually express anything. Such a marriage proposal was indeed a bit abrupt.The main reason is that Mycroft has always felt that Jane is still young, but he has forgotten that he is not the only one with vision, and there is never a shortage of such things as competitors.

One proposes, the other refuses, and the two are not embarrassed. While the others are still taking a nap, Jane secretly hitches up the carriage and takes Mycroft to the train station.The two chatted happily along the way, and Mycroft felt more and more that Jane was the right person for him.What was strange to Mycroft was that he could feel that Jane had the same idea as him, but Jane was really hesitant.

Mycroft took the train back to London with doubts after Sherlock.Watching the train leave the station, Jane breathed a sigh of relief. Mycroft is a good guy, but when he thinks of his surname...Holmes, Jane feels a little uncomfortable.She couldn't remember whether Sherlock Holmes had a sister-in-law in the book, but she never thought that she would have the opportunity to become Sherlock Holmes' sister-in-law one day.

This is really unpredictable.

Compared with the unknown marriage, Jane is more concerned about the existing family.After the Holmes brothers left, the New Year's activities were over, and Jane began to fulfill her promise when she just came back: try, try, try!

The Miss Bennets were made into pancake rolls by Jane, and they were still burnt. Mr. Bennet and Mrs. Bennet dared not intercede at all, because Jane's complexion has been as dark as a widow's black veil since the exam Normally, even Mrs. Bennet, who always felt that learning so many things was useless, dared to ask Meadow to make some delicious food to comfort her daughters in private.

The girls who passed the exam were actually quite ashamed. They relaxed a lot after Jane left for only a few months, and they didn't work as hard as they wrote in the letter to Jane.Moreover, Jane announced that she would take the exam on the first day she came back, and it took so many days to actually start the exam. This is considered a few days for everyone to review, but they still got such results.

Elizabeth and Mary are older, and they are responsible for teaching two younger sisters. Without Jane, they become arrogant. One wants to write a good story every day, and the other is obsessed with practicing the piano and being a lady. The two always felt that they had studied well, but they were dumbfounded when they took the exam.

Catherine and Lydia were originally young and lacked self-control. After relaxing in their studies, they have been eating, drinking and fooling around for the past few months. It was only after Jane came back that they hugged each other, which was of no avail.

When she realized that she couldn't do it at all, Lydia still wanted to play a rogue, but everyone was dumbfounded after Jane shared her usual study schedule and content.

Painting, mathematics, art appreciation, etiquette, Latin, Italian, and even law and philosophy, each learning progress has Mrs. Wood's autograph to show that Jane has passed the assessment.

In fact, there is also invisible learning. After Jane came back, the other girls discovered that her demeanor became very graceful, and her every move was unspeakably beautiful. Everyone secretly learned from her.Moreover, Jane's cooking skills have also improved. She has learned a lot of new dishes. Since she came back, there are new snacks every day that no one has even heard of.

"It really surprised me." Jane's words revealed disappointment.She thought she had made a mistake. She had pushed the demands on herself onto ordinary children, and it wouldn't work.The other sisters don't have her experience, they are just normal kids, they can't see anything deeper, and they don't have much motivation to work hard.

Most of the girls from squire families like theirs don’t need to learn anything, and most of their marriage partners are also from the same squire families. They only need to learn to dress themselves well before marriage, and take care of their husbands and take care of their children after marriage. Many girls don’t even Literacy.If they are rich and big landowners, they may let their girls learn French or painting. Girls from ordinary families know a little musical instrument and can read the Bible, which is already a very decent thing.

Like the girls in the Bennet family, they have learned French mathematics and painting since they were young. There is no second family in Longbourn. This is why the Bennet family has no sons, and the five daughters are destined not to share much of the family property. The reason why the Bennets were considered the most respectable first-class families at Longbourne, even in the circumstances.

But this is too far from Jane's request.

The author has something to say: Jane: I hate it, everyone is so familiar, what are you asking for!
