[Comprehensive Classics] Different Jane

Jane is always excited, that is the Count of Monte Cristo!Back then, "The Count of Monte Cristo" and "The Three Musketeers" were the only foreign masterpieces that she had read more than five times. She never thought that her favorite idol would ask her to have a meal (rounded up), can she not Excited?

"I guess he must have experienced a very legendary story." Jane murmured.

"I think so too." Mycroft said to Jane. "He came to London specially to meet you before the wedding. He has a weird temper. If he gave you any expensive presents, you would Don't refuse, just accept it."

"Oh, my gosh."

"what?"

"I mean, I didn't expect you to have such a godfather. It feels like someone who came out of some legendary story."

"Haha, it's not such an exaggeration, Jane. Anyway, he asked us to go to his hotel the day after tomorrow. How about it? I'll pick you up then?"

"Okay... oh my god."

"One more thing, I have to tell you in advance." Mycroft said to Jane again, "It's about Hunter Zhao."

"Hunter? What happened to him?"

Mycroft hesitated for a while, thinking about the wording for a moment, "The godfather admires Hunter very much, and hopes to teach him for a few years."

Jane: "What! What's going on?"

"That's right. The godfather saw Hunter when he came to my house a few days ago. He thought that Hunter was a good talent, so he asked Hunter if he would like to go to Italy with him."

Jane watched Mycroft's look for a moment, and said, "I suppose he would, wouldn't he?"

Mycroft made a face, "But he still said he wanted to ask your wishes."

Jane thought about it, although she was a little curious, but this is someone else's life after all, and the parties have mutual wishes, so she has nothing to object to.

Jane put her mind on the meeting later, and she also attached great importance to this invitation. In Western teachings, godfather and son are no different from biological father and son, and godson also has the right to inherit... Wait, Jane suddenly realized that a One thing, doesn't this mean that Mycroft will also have the opportunity to inherit the property of the Count of Monte Cristo in the future and become a super rich man? !

=mouth=

However, it is still far away from Mycroft becoming a billionaire. The most important thing now is to meet Earl (idol).

Jane really wanted to be more cautious, but had no choice but to make a mistake. She thought she only wanted to see the Holmes couple, so she prepared a dress... She couldn't wear the same white dress, the same jewelry and attire to meet Mycroft again. Godfather!

So Jane can only change into a silver-gray regular dress. She comforts herself that the white skirt looks lively and cute. Those who care about these...probably.

Mycroft didn't notice Jane's entanglement, even if he did, he wouldn't understand how Jane felt when he saw her idol.

The place where the Earl met Mycroft and Jane was at the Rockford Brown Hotel in Mayfair. There are many expensive high-end shops and luxury hotels nearby. It is also a well-known residential area for the rich in London, because it is not far from Buckingham Palace. .Jane also saw the signpost of "Baker Street" flashing by from the carriage.

Jane: I found a way =v=

The Earl booked the most expensive room in the Rockfort Brown Hotel. There are two reception rooms alone, one is for ordinary guests, and the other is for intimate guests like Mycroft.

Jane finally met her idol, the Count of Monte Cristo~

It's so radiant (psychological effect)!

It's hard to notice the Earl's appearance at first glance, because his eyes are so special. They have the calmness after a thousand sails have passed, and the sharpness that seems to look into the bottom of people's hearts. There are still flames in these eyes, Jane knew that the flame was kindled only for vengeance.

"Hello, Mycroft." The count didn't have any foreign accent in English, and it was impossible to tell that he was a Frenchman.

"Hello, Godfather." Mycroft's actions showed respect from the bottom of his heart.

"This is Miss Bennet." The Earl looked at Jane.

"Hello, Mr. Earl." Jane just shook her head, and quickly recovered her respectful attitude.

"Well, come with me."

Jane winked at Mycroft as the earl turned his back.Seeing the Earl himself, Jane could fully understand why his enemies could no longer recognize him. This kind of demeanor was definitely not something a former crew member could have. As for his appearance, Jane calculated his age. The Earl should be younger than Mrs. Holmes How old is he, but from his face, you can't see any words related to the handsome, sunny, and enthusiastic. After more than ten years of prison life and long-term psychological pressure, the earl's face looks already, already ...Emmmmm... Actually, he is quite handsome~

=v=

Mycroft secretly pinched Jane.

The earl led Mycroft and Jane into the inner room, which was a relatively private place.The benches were piled with gorgeous exotic cushions, but Jane didn't see the exotic princess.

The room is filled with the smell of exotic spices and tobacco. It doesn't smell pungent, on the contrary it smells very strange and pleasant.

"Sit." The count rang the bell and sat on a bench by himself. He picked up a long pipe placed aside and gestured, "You don't mind?" It was a long hookah The silver pot neck is carved with patterns, and the middle is inlaid with green glass.

Mycroft and Jane shook their heads, expressing that they didn't mind. The earl took two puffs and exhaled thick smoke. The smell of spices and smoke in the air became stronger again.

Jane looked at the earl calmly. She was too close just now, and the other's eyes were too shocked, so she didn't have time to observe carefully.

The Earl was wearing a brown coat and trousers. He hadn't buttoned them up, revealing the plaid vest and white shirt inside. The tailoring was not British style, and the plain silk scarf was not the current fashion in London.This body looks ordinary, but Jane estimates the price is very beautiful.

When Jane was looking at the Earl, the Earl was also looking at Jane through the smoke. Although he had only been in England for a few days, the Earl had already investigated Jane Bennet's situation clearly, including Hogwarts.

The earl himself is not a pedantic person, and he still admires Jane's economic ideas that do not conform to the social trend. More importantly, this is the person that Mycroft personally takes a fancy to.

The Earl and Mrs. Holmes' friendship began in their parents' generation, and they met in childhood, and very few people know about it.When the Count of Monte Cristo was still Edmond Dantès who was wronged in the prison of Château d'If, his old father died during his 14 years of injustice, and he didn't know it until a long time later.

When old Dantes was alive, Mrs. Holmes (who was still a lady at that time) had been secretly supporting his life, and entrusted someone to help with his funeral after his death. This is also Dantes' determination to repay his childhood friend and find the old One of the important reasons why Mrs. Holmes married to London and confessed to her later.

Of course, His Excellency the Count of Monte Cristo did not expect that during his trip to London, he would actually harvest a little fat godson who looked very similar to Mrs. Holmes.

"How are your houses getting ready?" the earl asked Mycroft.

"It went very well." Mycroft rubbed his hands, "Thanks to Jane's uncle, Mr. Gardner, who helped a lot."

The count nodded, "That's good."

Before he could say a few words, the servant outside the door brought tea and snacks.An Indian manservant wearing an Indian crew-neck gown and a turban came in pushing a small cart. When he approached Jane, he saw that Hunter, that is, Zhao Sheng, was following behind the Indian manservant in a Chinese bunt. Compared with the time at Holmes' house, the Chinese boy seems to have found a new purpose in life, and his eyes are shining.

Seeing Jane, Zhao Sheng blinked and grinned in surprise, but he didn't speak, but put the tea and snacks on the big coffee table meticulously like an Indian servant, and then followed the older senior out.

"That boy is a good seed." After the servant left the room, the earl said to Jane, "It's not that I have any prejudice, but I always think that the loyalty of Orientals is more praiseworthy. Miss Bennet, I heard that you are also very impressed." Do you like oriental culture?"

Jane paused. In the [-]th century, there was a "Chinese culture craze" among Europeans. But in fact, Europeans don't know the real China at all. Most of the China in their minds is based on other people's dictation and their own imagination. Not sure if the Earl really wanted to talk about this topic, or just asked politely.

Jane didn't particularly want to talk about this topic, because... she was afraid of slipping up_(:зゝ∠)_

"I have read "Marco Polo's Travels", and I have also read many other travel notes about the East, as well as Thomas Allom's painting collection." Jane thought for a while and said, "However, the contents of some books seem to be a little different. I feel that the real situation in that country may not be what people say."

"Then it seems that this gift is very suitable for you." The count stood up, walked to the table by the window, picked up a beautiful box, and gave it to Jane.

Jane opened the box, "Wow." She couldn't help but exclaimed.

There are two exquisite fans in the box, the slightly longer one is a silk fan, a Chinese-style courtyard is drawn on the light golden silk surface, the hostess combs her hair in a simple bun, revealing a smooth forehead, her body The shape is slender and graceful.In front of the hostess, two round children with two pigtails and shaved hair were scrambling to play football.

The color of the fan painting style is not bright, and it is not the same as the popular "Chinese style" nowadays, but Jane knows that this is the real "Chinese style".

The other short fan is small and delicate, it is a sandalwood fan, the sandalwood exudes a natural fragrance, unfolding slowly, the four fan bones on both sides are carved with plum blossoms, and the middle fan bone is carved with a landscape painting.

It is simply too beautiful. In addition, there are a pair of nets of different shapes in the box, and two fan bags embroidered with plum blossoms and peach blossoms respectively, as accessories for the fan.

The author has something to say: Jane: I love beans! ! ! (○??д?)?
