Sherlock Holmes

And the facts prove it.

Watson really has a few friends, most of them are people he met when he was on duty in the London Public Security Bureau, as well as medical workers he met when he attended medical seminars.

But in terms of size, it can never support such a large scene, so so many people should be guests of the Jasmine family.

Sherlock had not investigated Jasmine, and he did not have a bad habit of digging up details about his brothers and their wives. However, his observation skills and ability to make mistakes without paying attention could still allow Sherlock to know some of this woman's family background.

For example, her clothes, although they don't look luxurious, no poor brand would use pure gold to make an inconspicuous little label on the hem.

Not to mention using exquisite fine diamonds to outline the outline of the sole on the inside of the high-heeled shoes.

Jasmine's words and deeds were a bit slovenly in front of Watson, but Sherlock clearly remembered that when they first met more than three years ago, Jasmine's words and deeds were that of a lady with an absolute upbringing. The most important thing was that Morstan This surname is somewhat prestigious in London, and it is considered one of the best in the research and development of drugs and the production of medical equipment. And at this stage, because of the beginning of the Great Expedition era, there is a huge demand for medical equipment on the front line. This year, the Morstan family has really made a lot of money.

Sherlock sighed dejectedly and walked into the church. The place was obviously completely occupied. White roses were hung around the Sunflower icon, and colorful small pieces of shiny paper were scattered on the ground, all in the shape of hearts. , I don’t know which hotel hired a waiter temporarily, carrying a tray with wine glasses, walking among the crowd, and you can take exquisite food at will. In short, the scene looks very decent, and it also reveals a business The magnanimity a noble should have.

But along the way, Sherlock discovered that few people seemed to be talking about the wedding itself. Most of them were talking about business and friendship. Even the Morstan family didn't care much about the wedding.

"That sister of mine could have married the younger son of the Hodir family, but she...haha"

When Sherlock walked past a place where people gathered, he heard some noises. Looking into the crowd, he could see a pretty woman with slightly curly hair like Jasmine, but she was a few years older than Jasmine.

She thought it was her sister. At this time, this woman was holding a glass of wine and explaining something to a few older middle-aged people with a smile, but the last few laughs were full of embarrassment and displeasure.

Without knowing too much about the situation, Sherlock could guess what the next words meant.

Generally speaking, Jasmine could have had a more respectable new marriage partner, but now she insists on marrying a poor doctor from the lower city. Maybe in the eyes of these upper-class nobles, Watson really has nothing but handsomeness. Advantages.

Also, Shylock has been in London for so long, and of course he knows the values ​​​​of love among these business aristocrats. In their eyes, marriage is a tool to bring the business of two families closer. As for the relationship between the groom and the bride, it does not matter at all. Important, it doesn't even delay them from continuing to live their lives.

For people like Jasmine, if she likes handsome men, she can spend money to find those handsome young men who are the most professional and best at serving women. Why must she think about marrying a pauper.

Sherlock took a glass of wine from the waiter's tray, pressed the brim of his hat, and sat in a corner outside the crowd. He thought about why Jasmine moved out to live with Watson. It was most likely because of her willfulness. , which made the family furious and was kicked out.

This woman who seems to be happy every day has also been under a lot of pressure just to be with Watson.

Come on, what's so good about this bastard Watson? The two of them probably haven't met each other a few times, so letters alone can keep an aristocratic lady waiting for several years? Is there really such a thing as love at first sight in this world?

Sherlock thought about it, and for a moment, he didn't want to think about his wedding speech anymore. After all, in front of these guests, even if he said the flowers himself, it would be meaningless.

at the same time

"Molly, I'm very disappointed in you."

Getting married is a very good day, but in a room behind the church, a woman stood dignifiedly by the mirror. The makeup on her face was very light. It could be seen that her skin was well maintained, even the corners of her eyes. Some fine lines are not so clear, but this face is now full of coldness that is not in line with today's atmosphere.

"Normally, I can pamper you if you act recklessly and willfully, but if you insist on marrying that John, your father and I will never forgive you for this."

This woman is now the mistress of the Morstan family and Jasmine's mother.

As her youngest daughter, Jasmine was naturally favored by her mother. However, she suddenly announced at a dinner party at home that she was going to marry a commoner from the Lower City. Under the strong opposition of her whole family, she ran away from home. , and half a month later, he announced the location of his wedding.

This kind of behavior is no longer a matter of willfulness, but a direct disregard of the interests of the family.

Jasmine calmly combed her hair and then tied it up carefully. During this period of time, she had been at loggerheads with her family, and now faced with her mother's accusations, she was unwilling to respond too much.

Ms. Morstan continued in a calm voice: "You should know the class of that person. He is a resident living in the lower city. He is just a doctor. He does not have a hospital or clinic of his own. He needs to work in other people's homes and can be fired at will. He lives in an apartment on the street, has no real estate of his own, and no relatives, which means he has no family support behind him.

For such a man, I don't understand why you would commit yourself to him. "

Jasmine's mother was a strong woman in every sense of the word. Of course, she investigated Watson's details as soon as possible.

But luckily, Watson's file as a military doctor had become a confidential document when he retired from the army. After all, he was once a brutal figure who ripped out human skins alive on the front line; and after entering the Public Security Bureau, because of a The reasons why the famous pope persecuted his colleagues and the subsequent assassination cases in the ancient Roman city naturally became a secret throughout the empire.

Anyway, no matter how much Mrs. Morstan checked, she could only find out Watson's identity as a civilian doctor. This was why she was still trying to persuade her daughter with cold words at this moment.

"You may not know that those people in the medical field today did not come to the wedding because of Watson's reputation, but because I invited them here to make up for your fiancé's dignity.

I took a look and saw that there were only 30 friends of that boy together.

It's really ridiculous that I would invite guests for others just to care about my own face. "

Speaking of this, Ms. Morstan approached her little daughter and said sincerely and even pleadingly: "You are not married yet, and the pastor has not started to announce it yet. We still have a chance to save it. As long as you nod, we can get married." Cancel it now, I can take care of all those guests, and the youngest son of the Hodir family is still waiting for you."

Jasmine's mother persuaded her earnestly, but Jasmine suddenly turned around, supported the hair crown that was holding the crystal, and said with a smile: "Mom, does it look good wearing it like this?"

She smiled sincerely. This was the first time in recent months that she took the initiative to talk to her mother.

Ms. Morstan was startled for a moment, looking at her daughter's smile, and thought that she had also had a wedding, but she had forgotten whether she had smiled at that wedding.

"You can take care of yourself." The woman sighed, her expression became cold again, then she stood up and left the room.

Finally, the wedding started.

The church's foyer is wide open, allowing breezes to pass through. The high dome can also give people a sense of clarity similar to that of the open air. On the stone flat outside the round arch, the green grass has just been watered by clean water, and is wet with cool water stains, gently and softly. It creeps down softly along the arc, giving it a dreamlike feeling.

Before the Holy Calendar, there were many call stories depicting the love between nobles and poor people.

The most famous one is undoubtedly the disgraced girl working by the fireplace, who got on the pumpkin carriage and put on the beautiful glass slippers with the help of an elf.

In a grand ball, she was so beautiful that she hugged and fell in love with the prince, and then left before midnight, leaving only a charming back.

This story has been passed down for centuries and has been dreamed of by countless people, but no one has ever realized that the elves never changed Cinderella's appearance, but only gave her a gorgeous appearance. And the girl can only embrace the prince if she is set off by a glass slipper and a gorgeous carriage.

Identity and status are always an insurmountable gap, and Cinderella seems to always be a fairy tale told to girls. Girls will not think about whether the prince will be kicked out because of the pressure from the king. Outside the palace, will the neighboring countries eventually turn against each other because of the failure of the marriage?

Real problems do not appear in fairy tales.

The wedding at this time happened in reality, and there was no Cinderella in this church, only a Gray Boy.

The whole wedding was very grand, and the Morstan family's wedding could not be easily organized, but the process was quite embarrassing, because when the guest list was recited in front, it can be found that most of the people present were actually the same as that handsome man. The groom does not have much relationship with him, and during the blessing stage, almost all the gifts came from the social circle of the bride’s family. Everything was decent and gorgeous, but the blessings Watson received were only from acquaintances. Hugs, flowers, and words of comfort.

Soon, Watson and Jasmine held hands and walked to the gorgeous high platform under the sunflowers of the church. A priest held the Holy Light Book in his hand and smiled as he watched the newlyweds walking toward him.

"Are you a little embarrassed?" Jasmine asked worriedly, holding her fiancé's hand.

"Didn't you tell me before? The nature of your family means that this wedding will be a little unnatural." Watson smiled softly: "I was just thinking, if you regret marrying a poor boy like me, now There is still a chance. If the rings are exchanged, I will really protect you for the rest of my life as I said in my oath. Then it will be difficult for you to leave me."

Jasmine's face was slightly red, her heart was beating very fast, and she was extremely happy, but she said with a disgusting tone: "Don't be a good boy here, I know you are not an ordinary person, for a moment, you are so stupid When my roommate comes on stage to give a speech, my family will scream in surprise."

Watson knew this, but he didn't like this tone very much. It felt like he was deliberately lowering his worth to deceive others.

But he really didn't have much money, and when he thought of Sherlock's embarrassed look when he wrote the speech, Watson always thought, otherwise, don't let that guy be the best man.

Just then suddenly.

An old man wearing a red robe appeared at the side of the auditorium.

The old man looked a little out of breath, as if he had been on the road just now. He tried his best to hide his body, not wanting people in the audience to see it, but there was really no shelter on the empty high platform.

The old man waved towards the pastor of the church. The pastor turned around and glanced sideways, with a look of disbelief on his face. He seemed to be about to kneel down to worship, but was stopped by the other party's gesture. After a few seconds, he hurried off the stage.

Some exclamations sounded among the guests, and some seemed to recognize the old man's robe.

A cardinal? ? ?

Just when everyone had not yet realized why a bishop appeared at the wedding of the Morstan family, there seemed to be some noise outside the open church door. Everyone turned around in confusion, and then saw a row of people dressed in A long procession of white nuns dressed in white nuns walked slowly past, and finally, a white horse-drawn carriage with exquisite carvings stopped in the center of the lawn outside the church.

Some people seemed to have seen some aspects of the world. They recognized the white nuns' costumes and the too-white carriage. They all gasped and staggered in their stance.

Immediately afterwards, the door of the carriage was opened, and a nun helped an extremely beautiful woman out of the carriage. The woman held up her skirt and walked towards the church. In an instant, all the brilliance around her dimmed, but the woman's His steps were a little hurried and his expression looked a little apologetic.

Under the gaze of all eyes, the woman walked towards Watson's concierge and bowed apologetically to those who were too shocked to move, as if she was blaming herself for being a little late.
