[Zhongying] Rebirth meets a wizard

From the end of April, it is the rose season,

One after another, the roses are budding, and it is the best time to go to the rose garden.

In May and June, the whole roses will form a sea of ​​flowers.

In order to see the sea of ​​roses at the best time, the original summer plan of the Bennet family was brought forward.

In mid-April, shortly after Jane's return from London, the Bennet family planned to set off for Derbyshire in full.

Mr. Bennet announced the news to the family's delight after a dinner, noting that their return was due after the summer.

For Lydia, Jane's return made her very happy, because of the sister's bright smile and her beautiful mood immersed in love.

And what makes Lydia even happier, and the reason why she doesn't miss her fiancé so much after she got engaged and separated is:

Mrs. Smith is back, safe and healthy...

When Lydia was writing letters in the room alone, Mrs. Smith appeared suddenly, without warning...

Lydia froze for a moment, then dropped the quill in her hand, rushed over to hug Mrs. Smith and cried.

"Mrs. Smith, you are finally back!"

"I miss you so much! I am very... very worried about you!"

Lydia emphasized her miss and worry, as well as the grievance of being left behind, with a crying voice.

And Mrs. Smith missed Lydia very much, and she patted Lydia on the back to comfort her.

"I miss you too, Lydia, I'm fine, isn't it safe to come back? Don't worry!"

I didn't have time to talk about the old days, this was just a simple report of safety.

Mrs. Smith knew that Lydia was very worried about her, so she came to tell Lydia that she was safe as soon as she got away. For the rest, she had to appear openly before she could tell Lydia in detail.

For example, what she gained from this trip, the movements of her enemies, and the ring that suddenly appeared on Lydia's left middle finger...

When Mrs. Smith officially appeared at Bennet's house the next day to sell the vacation, she was pulled by Mrs. Bennet almost immediately to pack the whole family's luggage together.

Because Mrs. Bennet was going to move the house, Mrs. Smith was too busy, either packing her luggage, or preventing Mrs. Bennet from packing too much luggage...

For Lydia's sudden engagement to Sherlock, she didn't have time to find out in detail.

You know, Mrs. Smith was the one who threw Sherlock out when she heard Sherlock's brainless proposal last time.

Now she has only been away for less than a month, and when she comes back, she finds out that this stupid Sherlock Holmes detective has successfully abducted the smart Lydia.

This is absolutely unscientific and unreasonable!

Let two people who are not enlightened suddenly become enlightened, what happened?

However, Mrs. Smith can only be curious while she is busy, and she has time to talk to Lydia only when she is busy.

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

The rose garden that Lydia inherited from Mrs. Brown is actually a large rose field and a small house.

Before the Bennet family set off with great enthusiasm, Lydia had asked people to tidy up the place, repair and supplement it.

So after the whole family arrived, it took two days to organize this place into a good place to live.

And Mrs. Smith finally had time to have a good talk with Lydia.

In the month of separation, both of them experienced a lot. Mrs. Smith's trip was fruitful, but it was only fruitful, she failed to complete her revenge in one go.

"Mrs. Smith, don't make a fool of yourself. Tell me what happened. I'd be happy to hear you tell me about your trip to the wizarding world."

Because of Mrs. Smith's cryptic narration, Lydia asked for more details, so she felt a little relieved.

"It's not that I don't want to tell you, but that knowing too much is not good for you..."

Mrs. Smith still shook her head, unwilling to elaborate, for fear of hurting Lydia.

"It's not a bad thing. I know the most about it. I can be more careful and cautious. It's better than stepping into the trap without knowing it."

Lydia speaks sincerely, and it really speaks from her heart.

"Lydia, well...you know a lot anyway..."

Mrs. Smith gave in anyway.

"This time I went to the wizarding world, and there were rewards and dangers. Fortunately, you reminded me so that I didn't just fall into it blindly. The person who gave me the news did have bad intentions, but at the same time, the news is true..."

Lydia was in a daze, she frowned slightly while she was sorting out her thoughts, and listened to Mrs. Smith continue to explain.

"My enemy, you know, the current Duchess of Norfolk, she did return to the wizarding world in an attempt to find a way to save the Duke of Norfolk. Although the person who gave me the news did not conspire with her, but also for me With bad intentions, I didn't expect that after leaving for so many years, there are still people thinking about us..."

Mrs. Smith sighed, and seemed to have a lot of emotion about her long-lost hometown.

"And then... have you seen them?"

Lydia couldn't wait, she was eager to know the situation, and at the same time, she didn't want Mrs. Smith to be in a bad mood.

"Don't worry, kid, didn't I come back fine?"

Mrs. Smith reassured Lydia before continuing.

"No, I haven't seen either the person who gave me the news, or the Duchess of Norfolk. The first one is that I didn't appear in front of him when I found out that he had malicious intentions, and the Duchess, she hid Great, I didn't find her."

"It's a pity, but coming back safely is more important than anything else? But why did that person target you?"

Lydia was more concerned about the person with bad intentions, and Mrs. Smith's safety and health were her biggest worries.

"Just my way of life may be the reason why people in the wizarding world are dissatisfied with me, you know, there are very conservative people everywhere, and the radicals among them are very dissatisfied with people who think differently, just I don't even know when this original friend of mine became one of them, I must have been away for too long..."

Mrs. Smith didn't look too sad, but her friend's betrayal still made her a little depressed.

"Has the Duke's life been saved? Isn't his son... twelve or thirteen years old?"

Lydia changed the subject, and she saw that Mrs. Smith was not in high spirits.

"Although I failed to block the Duchess, it is of course impossible to achieve her goal."

Mrs. Smith is so sarcastic every time she talks about the Duchess.

"Isn't the Duke dying? There are no reports of this in the recent newspapers."

Lydia wasn't really worried about some duke she didn't know, she was just curious.

Speaking of which, the Duke's death is also something that shakes the status of the Duchess. Although her son will inherit the title, a twelve or thirteen-year-old child will always make the status of the Duke's family temporarily lose a lot of glory.

"She originally hoped to use her own means to save the Duke's life. Of course, she would not let the news of her critical illness be made public, but now, she probably can't hold back..."

Speaking of the bad luck of her enemy, Mrs. Smith's expression improved a little. It seemed that she not only hated the Duchess, but was also very dissatisfied with the Duke.

"The Duke's death is still more beneficial to us. Although the Duchess will appear less frequently after the Duke's death, from the perspective of power, she will finally leave the circle of the highest authority in London temporarily."

Lydia has been thinking about it, and now that she has expressed her considerations, it seems that she still thinks very comprehensively.

"You are right, Lydia, it seems that I am not here, and your thoughts are more thoughtful."

Mrs. Smith nodded, she thought the same as Lydia, and felt Lydia's short-term growth.

"But if you're thin, you just look good, otherwise you'll look haggard."

After the compliment, it was Mrs. Smith's nagging. She wanted to say it when she came back. Lydia's figure is much slimmer. If it wasn't for her rosy face, she probably wouldn't delay talking about Lydia until now. It may be the first sentence of meeting.

"Isn't this missing Mrs. Smith..."

Lydia felt a little guilty, and then acted sweetly, trying to escape.

"Okay, seeing that you look good, I won't talk about you anymore. I think Mrs. Bennet must have told you, eat well, rest well, and keep healthy."

I don't want to talk about it, but Mrs. Smith's words are not lacking at all.

And it was really hit by Mrs. Smith. After discovering Lydia's looser skirt, Mrs. Bennet has been thinking about Lydia for a long time, three meals a day.

"Yes! You are right."

Lydia also lost her temper after being nagged about, just like she did to Mrs. Bennet, Lydia had an expression of "you are right, I will listen to you obediently".

"You always have a cute appearance. Others don't know it, but I don't know it? It's just a way to bluff people. It's rare to see you really obedient."

Mrs. Smith, who can see through Lydia better than Mrs. Bennet, is not as easy to fool as Mrs. Bennet, but under Lydia's innocent begging eyes, she let go of this matter, and she hasn't asked herself What is the most concerned issue?

"Let's not talk about this first, you should tell me what is going on with the ring on your hand!"

Lydia didn't know why, but always hid her left hand behind her back with some guilt.

Under Mrs. Smith's bright and mocking eyes, Lydia confessed a little uncomfortable.

"Don't you know it all? It's an engagement ring."

"Yes, I know it's an engagement ring, and I know it's from Holmes, but what I can't understand is that you're suddenly engaged to him."

Seeing Lydia's uncomfortable appearance, Mrs. Smith was silently happy, molested the little milk cat, and the little milk cat felt cute curled up.

"Speaking of which, I actually don't know why, it's just...it's just that I want to agree to his marriage proposal, there is no reason..."

Asked by Mrs. Smith, Lydia smiled sweetly while thinking.

"Yes, you think happiness is the most important thing. Although I don't know how Detective Holmes suddenly became enlightened, but Lydia, congratulations!"

Mrs. Smith looked at Lydia's happy expression and gave her blessing.

She has always hoped that Lydia can have her own happiness and not be held back by her own revenge plan, so although she is not so satisfied with Sherlock, she still doesn't say much for the time being, after all, Lydia likes it...

As for the unsatisfactory husband candidate——Sherlock Holmes, just ask Lydia to train and teach her well in the future. Good men are born after training and training.

Leaving aside the idea of ​​a queen like Mrs. Smith, Lydia was very happy after hearing Mrs. Smith's blessing.

For Lydia, Mrs. Smith is not just her tutor, it is only a nominal identity, moreover, she is one of Lydia's most respected elders, and the weight in Lydia's heart may even exceed The Bennets.

After all, Lydia is only one of the five daughters of the Bennets, but Lydia is the only child Mrs. Smith treats as her own.

Coupled with all the things in her previous life, it is conceivable that Lydia attaches great importance to Mrs. Smith.

Now, the elders whom she values ​​agree with her engagement, and her joy is doubled.

Seeing Lydia's joy, Mrs. Smith's dissatisfaction with Holmes also went away.

Although he is a person with a long brain and can't speak, he made Lydia so happy. He made Lydia willing to try love and try marriage, so Mrs. Smith felt that Holmes was not bad.

Well, in short, Mrs. Smith did not trip him up because Lydia's great detective was still useful.

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

After Mrs. Smith left Lydia's room, Lydia stared at the ring on her finger in a daze.

When she didn't know it, her smile was so bright. If she could see it, she would know how similar her expression was to Jane's.

Of course Lydia didn't know, she just looked at the ring on her hand.

When she looked at the ring, she always thought of all the things with Sherlock, and the reluctant eyes he looked at her when he left Longbourn.

Sherlock and John stayed in Longbourne for ten days, but these ten days were too short for newly engaged couples.

It's a pity that both of them have work in London, and there can be no further delay.

And the Bennet family also plans to go to Derbyshire.

Their separation is in sight, even if it is a temporary separation, but the emotion of reluctance has been spreading.

Before parting, Sherlock came to find Lydia.

"When I'm with you, my heart is always full. I won't be bored, irritable, or empty... It's very out of my ability and habits. I can't think of anything else but you, so this ring I took it with me for many days, and I didn't remember to give it to you until today."

Sherlock said, taking out a simple ring box.

Lydia was a little surprised, she looked at Sherlock with bright eyes.

"I have always thought that red is your inner color, because you are obviously a restless flame! But Lydia, you are unexpectedly suitable for green, so I finally chose this pair of rings that my grandfather left me."

Sherlock opened the box, and inside was a pair of emerald rings. The rings were not exaggerated, so they couldn't be called luxurious, but they were simple and elegant, and the gemstones were clear.

"Sherlock, even after listening to your sweet words for so many days, I still feel emotional, is this really the Sherlock I know! How can I be so moved..."

Lydia gave Sherlock a big hug.

She is indeed a flame, and after not hiding herself in front of Sherlock, she is Lydia who dares to do something and obeys her own ideas.

Sherlock looked at Lydia's smiling face and couldn't control the corners of his mouth because of her hug.

"Lydia will you give me your hand?"

Sherlock's hand stretched out, waiting for Lydia's, patiently, expectantly.

Lydia looked at Sherlock, looked at his hand, smiled like a flower, and gave Sherlock her hand.

She has always been a straightforward girl, she will not deliberately be ambiguous, she will not be indifferent, she will only agree when she is really willing, and she will simply refuse when she is hesitant.

Like now, she puts her future in Sherlock's hands.
