[Zhongying] Rebirth meets a wizard

Can Sherlock understand the subtle coquettishness in Lydia's letter?

Even John, who was by Sherlock's side at the time, didn't know.

John only knew that after he received the third letter from Mary from the rose garden, Sherlock was even busier. He resolved the entrustment at John's unexpected speed, and then rented a carriage...

"Sherlock, I said where are you going on a business trip in such a hurry?"

I don't know where to go, but John, who still packed his luggage, finally couldn't help asking in the carriage.

"We're going to Derbyshire. Mr. Darcy, the landowner of Derbyshire, invited me to go there and help him investigate a matter."

Sherlock was thinking, but still answered his friend's question.

"Derbyshire!"

John beamed.

"You accepted this commission because of Lydia!"

"If you don't want to go, then there is still time to get off the carriage, and I will definitely explain the reason for your absence to the Bennet family.

Sherlock has been looking intently at the outside of the carriage, and it is because the underground project in London is gradually progressing, and their route to leave London has changed.

"Sherlock, can you stop being so duplicity. There is also Mr. Darcy's commission, why didn't I see this gentleman come to the door?"

John has seen through Sherlock's tricks and said that he doesn't care about him. Anyway, he also misses Mary very much, and he doesn't think there is any shame in missing his fiancée.

"Mr. Darcy is also rushing back to Derbyshire, probably a few days earlier than us."

Sherlock pretended not to have heard the first half of John's words.

"So Mr. Darcy was also in London two days ago? So you accepted the commission after receiving the commission letter, and you didn't ask him to come to explain the situation?"

John, who suddenly became wiser, saw through the meaning of Sherlock's words again.

"John, it's unbelievable that you've gotten smarter since you got engaged!"

Sherlock glanced at John, and then looked back to the outside of the carriage again, the route kept appearing in his mind.

"Sherlock, I'm not angry with you. Knowing that you will also be dazzled by love, I'm very pleased and don't care about you. And let me go to see Mary, I have to thank you very much!"

John also took off his hat and bowed, expressing his gratitude with exaggerated body movements.

"Love, I guess it is love, but John, I'm not carried away by it. In fact, my thinking and logic are still clear and functioning as usual."

Sherlock finally retracted his gaze and looked at his friend who was particularly difficult to deal with today.

"Yes, Sherlock, you are right."

John acted like you were right for the sake of being my friend.

Sherlock, who was rarely choked by John, silently moved his gaze out of the window, as if the previous conversation had never happened.

Silence returned in the carriage.

Sherlock continued to update the route, and at the same time, in Sherlock's memory palace, the part of Lydia swarmed out again, occupying most of his thinking space.

He wasn't going to cram Lydia into the ever-increasing space just yet, letting the girl-to-be-wife walk around his memory palace.

Sherlock also has an emerald ring on his left middle finger.

It was Lydia who put it on him, and now, Sherlock was caressing the ring uncontrollably.

And Lydia, who was far away in the rose garden, was touching her own ring.

This is Lydia's latest habit. When chatting or thinking, she will unconsciously touch the ring.

Now is the time for Mrs. Smith and Lydia to chat.

"Mr. Hurt's family came here suddenly. I have investigated this matter and found no bad intentions."

Mrs. Smith and Lydia were talking about the situation.

"Is it a coincidence?"

Lydia frowned slightly, feeling that Mr. Hurt would not do meaningless things.

"That's not true. Mr. Hurt should know that the rose garden is yours, but he chose it because his mother and sister liked it."

The information that Mrs. Smith received directly from the housekeeper of the Hurt family was not typical.

"It's not Mr. Hurt's intention. You must know that he really got involved in Mrs. Jones's nautical business, which made me feel his wrist. Obviously, asking me to be an introducer at that time was just a stepping stone for him. Next, He must have a way, otherwise, how could he get acquainted with Mrs. Jones within a few months and agree to let him join."

Speaking of Mr. Hutt, Lydia wanted to frown. This person is very scheming, and this person is unscrupulous when he sees an opportunity.

"And because I was the one who introduced him to Mrs. Jones, everyone agreed that I must welcome him to join. This situation made me very unhappy. I feel that this is a serial plot!"

"It seems that Lydia is very dissatisfied with him?"

Mrs. Smith listened to Lydia's long talk, and thinking of that handsome gentleman, she once again lamented that Lydia is a rare person who doesn't judge people by their appearance.

At Lydia's age, this is really rare. You must know that Mrs. Smith herself dared not say that she was not attracted by a handsome face like Mr. Hurt when she was 16 years old.

Of course, Mrs. Smith was unaware of Lydia's rare quality of cheating.

"Of course I'm not satisfied. If it wasn't for having him, the business in Ireland is very smooth. I want you to curse him for me. Let him fall at the ball and lose face. It's better to let him His handsome face was bruised."

Lydia thought that she was angry when she didn't discover Mr. Hurt's back trick. She was not only angry with Mr. Hurt, but also angry with herself. She lost the business at that time!

"Mr. Hurt will stick to your route to get to know Mrs. Jones. You should have thought of it, shouldn't you?"

Mrs. Smith shook her head with a smile. Lydia is still young, but this loss has little effect, and Lydia made a decision immediately at the ball, so Mrs. Smith didn't say anything after she found out, let her understand it now. Let Lydia have a deeper memory.

"Mrs. Smith, you are always like this, don't remind me when I am wrong!"

Lydia just complained, but she also knew that Mrs. Smith was doing it for her own good.

"You need to grow up. If I help you watch everything, what's the point of exercising?"

This is not the first time Mrs. Smith has said this. In terms of career, she has always raised Lydia like a son.

"Okay...but Mrs. Smith, how did Mr. Hurt get Mrs. Jones to approve him?"

Lydia quickly put away the disappointment in front of her and asked for details.

"You guessed this. Mr. Hurt is about the same age as the older Mr. Jones, and he has a good relationship with the future heir of Mrs. Jones's family. This is a plus. In addition, you introduced him to Jones Ma'am, this represents the approval of one of the participants, so his success is not surprising."

Mrs. Smith is indeed Lydia's omnipotent support, she can answer everything Lydia asks.

"I knew it! It was just an introduction, but Mr. Hurt pretended to be his supporter..."

Lydia pouted, displeased with the cunning Mr. Hurt taking advantage of her.

"Mrs. Smith, please, please tell me about this gentleman's black history, so that I can feel more balanced."

"This time I actually found out some information, but it was not Mr. Hurt's, but his mother's. When I went to inquire last time, the old butler of the Hurt family was not there. This time he was , let me know something."

Mrs. Smith hesitated, and finally spoke, but her expression said that she didn't want to tell Lydia this much, but once the topic started, it was not good to stop.

"Mr. Hurt's mother once made the same choice as Mrs. Brown..."

"what……"

Lydia soon grasped Mrs. Smith's meaning, and her expression became less pleasant.

"Marriage is still a heavy topic, isn't it?"

"Lydia, I didn't want to tell you, after all, you are happy now."

Mrs. Smith looked at Lydia's gloomy expression and regretted it.

"Now it is different from more than ten years ago. The choice of the two wives may have a time... If you can't get a divorce, then the only way to get rid of your husband is to kill him! In this way, please leave the husband. You can also save your own children."

"Dear Mrs. Smith, I'm fine, I just thought of Mrs. Brown..."

The sudden sadness in front of Lydia was not because of what Mrs. Smith said, it was just that women whose marriages failed always made Lydia unable to help remembering herself in her previous life.

"Even if there is a divorce law now, if you want to keep your property and children, I'm afraid it's easier to kill your husband. So I safely understand these two wives."

This time the Bennet family left Longbourne during this period, Lydia contributed a lot, including her intention to stay away from her biggest mistake in her previous life.

During that moment of gloom, many pictures flashed in Lydia's mind, but soon, the ring on her hand made her regain her mood.

At the same time, Lydia also smiled because of Mrs. Smith's cautiousness. She is indeed happy now, and she doesn't need to worry about things that will never happen again.

"Ms. Brown is an amazing woman. After all, their choices are only a few decisions, which does not mean that there is no happy marriage."

Mrs. Smith had always had a good opinion of Mrs. Brown, and naturally she would not have a bad opinion of her after she passed away.

"Mrs. Smith, I know what you want to say is you and Mr. Smith... This is showing off... What I want to know now is, what do you think of Sherlock? The choice of marriage is unlikely to have the possibility of self-growth. "

Lydia recalled now, as if she hadn't heard Mrs. Smith comment on Sherlock, although Mrs. Smith gave her blessing to their engagement.

"I said, Lydia, are you worried now?"

Mrs. Smith looked at Lydia jokingly, and deliberately looked at her hand touching the ring.

Lydia withdrew her right hand as if she had been scalded.

"Mrs. Smith..."

"Mr. Sherlock Holmes..."

Under Lydia's urging eyes, Mrs. Smith finally didn't delay any longer.

"He's a nice gentleman. Maybe he's a little clumsy towards you, but there's nothing wrong with being so unfamiliar. If a man is willing to put his heart into it, he can learn anything. If he doesn't put his heart into it, no matter how good a man is, he's not a good match. .”

Lydia listened to Mrs. Smith's words with special concentration, and then recalled Sherlock's appearance.

"He's not so clumsy, Mrs. Smith!"

"Is that so? Isn't that clumsy man who took the proposal as an act of anger?"

Mrs. Smith was amused by Lydia's earnestness, so she defended her fiancé, what else did she need to ask.

"Arrogance?"

Lydia didn't quite understand, although the situation of Sherlock's first marriage proposal was really terrible, but what was the situation of being angry.

"I also found out this time that the reason why Mr. Holmes was so reckless in his first marriage proposal was because of Mr. Hurt's stimulation."

Mrs. Smith deliberately looked at Lydia with the eyes of a woman.

"You said that the handsome Mr. Hurt likes you, so he deliberately provoked Mr. Holmes with words. Otherwise, with your fiance's calmness, how could he act so impulsively?"

Lydia frowned, she didn't expect such an inside story, and thinking about it now, Sherlock is not the kind of person who can suddenly get enlightened and propose marriage suddenly.

"But is Sherlock so easily provoked?"

"It's a young man, it's the first time he likes a girl, no matter how sensible he is, there will always be a time when his rationality goes away."

As a true warrior who carried the big detective and threw it out, Mrs. Smith gloated silently.

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

Another day at breakfast time, the dinner table at Bennet's house was as lively as usual.

New letters arrived, only one, addressed to Mr. Bennet.

"This is a new situation in a new place. Recently, I have had a lot of letters. It seems that I have been very effective in visiting neighbors."

After holding the letter and putting on his glasses, Mr. Bennet did not forget to complain about his busyness recently.

"The neighbor Mr. Brown's house is planning to hold a dance party, daughters, you have to prepare well!"

Mrs. Bennet, deaf to her husband's words, seemed more agitated than her daughters.

"Mr. Brown is so handsome, I don't know which of my daughters he will choose to dance with..."

Mr. Bennet, who was ignored, had to interrupt his wife in an attempt to get the family's attention.

"I say, Mrs. Bennet, two of your daughters are engaged."

"I know."

Mrs. Bennet finally paid attention to Mr. Bennet, but it was a pity that she made him angry with just one sentence.

"But there are three more, Mr. Bennet, please don't disturb me and my daughters discussing the ball!"

The disgusted Mr. Bennet shook his head helplessly, but still focused on the letter in his hand.

It was not a long letter, so Mr. Bennet read it quickly, and he simply handed the letter to Lydia, the only one who was not so keen on the ball, and asked her to tell everyone what happened,

Mr. Bennet said he didn't want to talk anymore, and no one was listening anyway.

Lydia looked at her father in confusion, but still accepted the letter.

The letter came from Mr. Darcy, he wanted to visit his current neighbor, his home he knew before...

And Lydia can see that this is not a polite way of greeting, because Mr. Darcy said that he has just arrived in Derbyshire, but he wants to visit tomorrow, and welcomes the Bennet family to return...

So the Bennet family is honored to be someone Mr. Darcy knows!

It feels so honorable to be invited, what should I do...

This is Lydia's first reaction to being unpromising.

Fortunately, this reaction passed in a flash. After reading the letter, Lydia did not immediately tell her mother and sisters the contents of the letter.

Instead, he couldn't help but look at his second sister, Elizabeth, who was still beautiful and calm.

So Mr. Darcy is so polite and not arrogant because of Elizabeth, maybe it is because of Elizabeth...

But this sudden amiable attitude is a bit of a twist. The last time I saw Mr. Darcy, he still treated the Bennet family coldly!

Lydia thought about what happened these days that she didn't pay attention to, why did she feel that the time for her family to marry their daughters on a large scale was about to begin...
