[Zhongying] Rebirth meets a wizard

The turmoil in London affected many industries, the textile industry was the first to suffer, and Lydia's cloth and clothing stores were also affected. What's more frightening is that the crime rate in London has increased significantly.

This time Lydia came to London and brought more people with her when she went in and out, and Mary was also told not to go out at will.

The Big Ben, which was just replaced this year, accurately tells the time to the citizens of London, but no one tells them when they will be in danger.

However, none of this could shake the holding of the aristocratic ball, and Lydia still received a flurry of invitations, but she was not in the mood to attend.

The newspapers had finally been unable to suppress the unrest, and the headlines were the death of the leader of the recent strike.

For a time, it was not uncommon for people to smash shops and hurt people under panic.

It's already Christmas Eve, but we can't see the excitement that would have been in previous years, only the crowds in the street and the sparsely populated shops.

"Lydia, I wanted to visit the Science and Technology Museum, but it seems that you don't have time to accompany me."

Mary went out with Lydia that day, and seeing the situation on the road, she knew that things were not easy, and she was a little frustrated.

"You didn't expect me to accompany you when you came to London! Let's go visit Dr. Watson after I finish my business. Although he must be busy recently, there is always time to squeeze."

Lydia didn't look anxious, and she was still in the mood to tease her sister, so she knew that at least Lydia was not affected by the turmoil here.

..............................

Lydia, who did what she said, took her sister to 221b Baker Street, and happened to meet Dr. Watson who had just come back at the door.

He was dressed in a medical outfit, and he seemed to have just returned from a medical visit.

When Lydia and Mary got out of the carriage, the absent-minded Watson had already knocked on the door of 221b.

Mrs. Hudson who opened the door saw Lydia behind Watson at a glance, and greeted her happily.

"John, did you come with Lydia? Lydia sweetheart, Sherlock isn't here."

"Lydia?"

Watson turned around sharply, and saw Lydia and the person he was missing.

"Miss Mary, you have come to London."

"Hello, John. Mrs. Hudson. We came to see you for afternoon tea. John was just coming back. This is my sister, Mary Bennett. Mary, this is Mrs. Hudson." , Detective Sherlock Holmes and landlord of Dr Watson."

Lydia said hello to John, who was too surprised and incoherent, and then introduced to Mary and Mrs. Hudson.

"Hi Mrs. Hudson, you can call me Mary."

Mary was too shy to look at John, but greeted Mrs. Hudson blushing.

"Mary, hello! Sweetheart Lydia, your mother must be a beauty, otherwise why are your two daughters so beautiful?"

Mrs. Hudson looked at Mary, and then at John who couldn't take his eyes off Mary. She didn't understand anything, so she took Lydia to chat with Mrs. Smith.

"Mrs. Smith, you must try my new apple pie and give me some advice, Lydia, and you too."

While speaking, let everyone at the door enter the door.

And the group that was still in ecstasy and shyness had already greeted them lightly.

"Go up first, black tea and apple pie will be here soon."

Mrs. Hudson herded John and Mary upstairs.

Seeing that Lydia was about to fall, she didn't even have the qualifications to go upstairs.Mary grabs Lydia.

"Lydia stay with me."

"Alright, then you go."

The invisible boss, Mrs. Hudson, waved her hand and agreed.

"Mrs. Hudson, sorry for the black tea. It's cool outside. I'm afraid the two ladies will feel cold."

John, who finally came to his senses, carefully told Mrs. Hudson that she would not serve the black tea in order to let them get along alone.

"Understood, considerate gentleman."

Mrs. Hudson agreed angrily, and didn't care about John's concern. She was the one who used the same trick every time.

The fireplace on the second floor was already on, so it was quite warm. John went over and moved the sofa to the fireplace before asking the two ladies to sit down.

Lydia felt satisfied watching John busy, while Mary was really shy.

Just like Mary's hesitation in the carriage, she always felt that it would not be good to go directly to the door like this.

Although Watson looked very happy, she also wanted to come in her heart, and she did come.

"I have been here more than once, and this is the first time I have enjoyed this treatment."

Lydia sat beside the warm fireplace, feeling comfortable.

"Lydia!"

Mary softly called Lydia's name, not to let her make fun of herself.

"Why? I'm just telling the truth, and someone's eyes won't roll anymore, so I'm not allowed to say it!"

Lydia continued to tease Mary, but she felt that her blushing was only a small part of the reason for her teasing.

"Lydia!"

Mary was really going to be annoyed.

"It's okay for me to shut up. John gave me a book, and I read it obediently and stopped talking."

Seeing that it was almost done, Lydia said that she would not speak anymore, but she must find something to do.

"Here, thank you, Lydia."

John handed a book on the table to Lydia, and then thanked Lydia who delivered the letter for him and brought his sweetheart.

Lydia took the book, shook her head with a smile, then walked to the desk by the window wisely, sat down to read, and pricked up her ears by the way.

……

In the meantime Mrs. Hudson served tea and apple pie, seeing Lydia at the window, and offering her her share.

……

After a while, there was finally movement over there.

"Miss Mary, can I call you Mary directly? Please also call me John directly."

Watson sat across from Mary, looking right through her.

"John, did you go to see a doctor just now?"

After all, Mary was the one who decided to follow Lydia to London, and she was able to chat normally after mental construction for a while.

"Yes, Mary, have you encountered any danger on your way to London? There has been some confusion recently."

Hearing Mary call out his name, Watson had already forgotten about Lydia who came with Mary.

"It went well. I just wanted to see the newly opened museum. Lydia was worried that I would go alone."

Mary looked up at John, looked at each other for a while, and then quickly avoided it because of shyness.

"Really? Mary wants to see the new Science and Technology Museum?"

John's already shining eyes became even brighter, and he obviously felt that this was a good opportunity.

"Yeah, I've been interested in it since I read the introduction in the newspaper."

Not daring to look into John's shining eyes, Mary looked into the burning fireplace.

"I have an appointment with the patient tomorrow morning. How about the day after tomorrow? Let's go to the museum together."

Looking at the beautiful Mary under the light of the fire, John regretted that he had an appointment tomorrow.

"Call Lydia and Sherlock Holmes?"

Of course Mary was willing in her heart, but it would be better to take Lydia with her.

"They are all quite busy. Sherlock is either going out or someone is looking for him recently. Didn't Lydia come to London because of something?"

Watson spoke logically and wanted to throw off two light bulbs.

Lydia, who was listening silently, couldn't take it any longer. It's clear that she dislikes her. I'm not happy. Don't ask me for your next letter, John.

"Is that so? Then you have to ask them first."

Mary really believed it, but she didn't agree to the date of the day after tomorrow.

Lydia, who was still listening silently, felt that her sisters were so innocent, and actually believed Watson's serious nonsense. They were so busy that they didn't even have time to visit a museum.

……

By the time Lydia was tired of reading, eavesdropping, complaining, drinking tea, and eating apple pie, it was getting late.

"John, it's time for me and Mary to go."

Lydia reminded the two who could no longer feel the passage of time.

"Ah! Won't you stay for dinner?"

Watson's face wrinkled, wondering whether the time should pass so fast.

"No, it's too dangerous to come home late now."

Lydia refused immediately, and the timing was not good.

"Okay then, will you come to have afternoon tea tomorrow? I mean Mrs. Hudson likes you very much."

John thought that if he didn't eat, he could come in the name of drinking afternoon tea.Why didn't Bennett's family live in London with elders, and it was not easy for him to visit.

"If there are puffs and donuts from Susan's, we'll come."

Seeing that Mary blushed again, Lydia didn't refuse anymore.

"So, Mary, what flavor do you like?"

Although the desserts at Susan's are expensive and difficult to buy, Watson decided to queue up early tomorrow.

"I've never had dim sum here, Lydia, what do you think?"

Mary looked at Lydia for help, why couldn't she chat with Lydia when she was beside her, she was so shy chatting with John with her younger sister, like a bad role model.

"It's not difficult, just buy a few more flavors, there is always something Mary likes."

Lydia was bullied by Pink Bubbles all afternoon, so of course she had to toss the instigator.

John who was tossed was still happy.

"Lydia, are you free the day after tomorrow?"

Mary thought of the museum appointment the day after tomorrow.

"The day after tomorrow..."

Watson finally got anxious and winked at Lydia again and again, begging her to let her go.

"I'm free the day after tomorrow!"

John's face darkened now.

..............................

"John smirked for a while and frowned for a while. This is Lydia who brought his sweetheart here."

At dinner, Detective Holmes returned, drawing conclusions from his friend's manner.

"Sherlock, can you stop being so awesome!"

Watson dissatisfied, the roommate who is a great detective is too vile.

"Smile because of your sweetheart, frown because of Lydia, why did Lydia make things difficult for you?"

The big detective hit the nail on the head again.

"Hey, you said that the grouse is not delicious. Mrs. Hudson was in a good mood today, and her cooking skills were extraordinary."

Watson put down his knife and fork, sighed after taking a sip of red wine.

"It seems that you offended Lydia quite a bit, otherwise how could she make things difficult for you."

It's still a declarative sentence. It's rare that the big detective is willing to eat today and still has a good appetite. Could it be that happiness is based on Watson's pain?

"No... I can't see other people when I meet Mary."

Watson popped pink bubbles again.

"I think I understand why Lydia is bothering you, because you are so nasty."

Holmes rubbed his arm to show that Watson was too greasy.

"Hey... They will come to have afternoon tea tomorrow, so I should be content."

Watson's ability to comfort himself has always been good, otherwise it would be difficult to survive under his poisonous roommate.

"What is Lydia's condition?"

While cutting his supper, Holmes sprinkled salt on the wound.

"Susan's Dessert."

Watson replied blankly, he really lost his appetite.

"Lydia really has taste. I will also participate in tomorrow's afternoon tea. Remember to prepare my portion."

After taking the last bite of dinner, Holmes drank the red wine, wiped his mouth, left the words and got up.

"Aren't you busy with the recent strikes and unrest?"

Watson hurriedly inquired before his roommate left.

"There is still time for an afternoon tea."

It's easy to say, but standing by the window and leaning against the desk, he decided to work overtime at night to make room for tomorrow afternoon.

Noticing the book folded upside down on the desk, Sherlock immediately understood that it was Lydia's book to pass the time in the afternoon, after reading it for a while...

Sherlock continued with his work.
