Sherlock Holmes

This woman did come a little late.

At this time, the bride and groom have already walked hand in hand to the high platform, and the monk's gifts and blessings are all over. What's the use of coming now?

Jasmine's family seemed a little unhappy. In fact, from their point of view, the wedding itself was already very unpleasant, and the groom had made the whole family lose face, so it would be best to end it as soon as possible. It happened that there were still some scattered guests coming over at this time.

Don't you think it's embarrassing enough?

Fortunately, this guest's clothes and carriage were quite good, but this overly eye-catching carriage looked like it was not something he would ride in normal life. He must have been rented from a carriage shop.

Forget it, no matter what, it can be regarded as a bit of a show.

However, what puzzles Jasmine’s family is why the church pastor resigned?

Why did the cardinal ask the priest to go down? Could it be that the church was temporarily requisitioned for some reason, preventing the wedding from being held as scheduled?

Wouldn't that be a valid reason to end this loss-making marriage?

Just as she was thinking about it, suddenly, Jasmine's mother saw a person next to her who was a well-known freight forwarding family member in the business circle. The speaker shook his head and looked in the direction where the groom's guests were gathered, as if he felt that he Feeling dazzled, he took out a pair of glasses and put them on.

At this moment, Jasmine's mother clearly saw the pupils of the respected speaker trembling violently, and then all the muscles in his body tensed.

He staggered towards the other side of the red carpet, or rather towards the woman in white who had just entered.

"Mr. Ertil?"

Morstan's brother didn't know what was going on and called the man softly, but the latter couldn't hear him at all. He walked down the red carpet so cautiously, his body becoming more and more stooped, as if he subconsciously wanted to Show your humbleness.

After walking a few more steps, he finally came to the unpunctual woman. He did not dare to approach any further, but made a gesture of kneeling down to worship.

This scene made many people panic and had no idea what was going on. However, the woman quickly waved her hand to signal Mr. Till not to salute at this time.

Mr. Till immediately seemed to have received some order that could not be ignored. He quickly stood up straight and stood behind the groom's guests. He took out a sunflower pendant from his arms and held it tightly in my hand. He was reciting something devoutly, and judging by the meaning, he seemed not to be planning to come back again.

Although the Morstan family used to be an elite pharmaceutical business, its real prosperity was actually from the beginning of the Great Expedition era, when it slowly entered the ranks of high-end nobles. In less than two years, it was naturally not qualified to know the senior officials of the Holy See, let alone You may know Her Majesty the Saint.

Among the guests at the banquet, there were two or three people who knew what [Nun in White] meant, but none of them had the courage of Mr. Till to go over and say a word to Her Majesty the Saint. They could only stand there tremblingly. , constantly casting anxious and envious glances towards the other side of the red carpet.

Of course, I was constantly thinking about what kind of person this groom was and why Her Royal Highness the Saint would attend his wedding.

"Click, click"

After the woman in white walked into the venue, she actually didn't cause much panic. It only lasted a minute. The woman also stood very low-key at the back of the crowd, competently playing the role of a late guest. The only thing Most of those who were qualified to recognize her were just surprised alone, not daring to make too many moves for fear of offending Her Royal Highness the Saint.

But with the soft sound of high heels hitting the ground, the atmosphere in the entire auditorium finally started to change.

As if competing with the woman in white, watching her join the concierge ranks, the two people appeared closely behind her.

Walking in front was a woman wearing a dark red dinner dress with a bright round hood, and next to him was a woman nearly two meters tall, wearing a formal suit that could not hide her burly figure. man.

As soon as he entered the auditorium, the man stopped moving forward and stood very docilely by the door of the auditorium, like a loyal servant. The woman in gorgeous clothes did not look like Her Royal Highness the Saint. Low-key, just walking in high heels with a charming figure, he walked in front of her and stood side by side with her.

Mrs. Hudson glanced at Irene, who was standing next to her with a haughty attitude, and muttered: "It's too late, why are you so showy?"

"Heh." Irene smiled: "You are Her Majesty the Saint, not many people know you, but you have to know that 90% of the people at this wedding are businessmen, and there will definitely be some among them. People know me, so as long as I stand here, there is no possibility of being unobtrusive.”

"." Mrs. Hudson frowned.

In fact, when Sherlock was imprisoned in the blood prison, these two women met several times because they wanted to get Sherlock out. I don't know whether it was because they had different ideas or because women were born with each other. The other woman was wary, and the two of them didn't like each other very much from that moment on.

But at this moment, Her Royal Highness the Saint had to admit that what Irene said was the truth.

Because in the next second.

There was already a representative of a rather young age who looked like a representative of an upper-class noble family and came up to her. He bowed to her respectfully: "I am the housekeeper of the Hodil family. I didn't expect Miss Eileen to come today. I will inform the owner of the Hodir family right now that he has always wanted to meet you."

"Miss Erin?"

"Oh my God."

The crowd was still noisy because of Eileen's arrival. Fortunately, the pastor had already stepped down from the stage. Otherwise, he probably wouldn't have known how to proceed with this scene.

Jasmine, who was standing at the end of the red carpet, also covered her mouth and looked at the bright and beautiful woman in the crowd in disbelief: "Miss Irene, the owner of Irene Bar?"

She stared at Watson: "How do you know her?"

"Uh..." Watson hesitated for a while: "Actually, I can't tell how we met. She and I haven't even met each other a few times, but we have a good relationship for some reason."

Jasmine looked at the audience again and found that all the guests seemed to be heading that way. As mentioned before, this wedding was actually just a banquet for people in the circle to get closer to each other. Now Irene With the young lady's appearance, how could these business people remain calm?

She even found that her mother's face was also shocked. Although she was a little confused and didn't understand what happened at all, as a businessman, she urgently wanted to run over and say a few words to Miss Irene, but she couldn't. Due to various reasons, she was embarrassed in place. She cast a confused look at Watson on the stage, but before she could make eye contact with him, she had to quickly look back, not knowing what she was going through in her heart. No matter how hard he struggled, the hands hanging by his sides were trembling.

At this time, a waiter walked by the edge of the crowd. Ms. Morstan quickly walked over, grabbed a glass of wine, and forcibly concealed the extremely complicated and panicked emotions in her heart. She did not even dare to think about why Miss Irene did this. Appearing here, I just hope that I can go to the other party as decently as possible.

Being able to have a few words with Miss Irene is likely to be an opportunity that will benefit his family for more than ten years.

As for her daughter’s husband.

She now has no time, no brains, or even the courage to speculate on why that guy was able to invite Miss Irene to come.

"Hello Miss Eileen, please introduce yourself. Pacifica Morstan, it's really a great honor for you to come to my family's wedding."

The most genuine smile was on her face, as if the person who was worried a second ago was not her at all.

Erin smiled.

She was not stupid. She looked at the two families separated by the red carpet and looked at the suits and leather shoes, but her eyes never paid attention to the newlywed couple on the stage. As a woman who has been in the business world for many years, she easily You can guess what kind of piss-poor today’s wedding will be.

So, she smiled and said: "I'm here to celebrate my friend's wedding, that's all, so I don't want to talk about any business issues today. I'm already late. If I continue to delay Mr. John's time, I I really don’t know how to apologize to him.”

A waiter had already stood next to Irene very well. Irene picked up a glass of wine on his tray, first gestured apologetically to Watson on the stage, and then spoke lightly to Ms. Morstan in front of her. He clinked a glass and drank it down in one gulp.

Just because of this glass of wine, and because of Eileen's words, as expected, no one dared to stay by her side anymore. With a huff, the crowd returned to its previous appearance, and now all their eyes were focused on On the ceremonial stage.

People looked at the groom, wondering what kind of person he was, and then looked at Jasmine. They were surprised that the youngest daughter of the Morstan family seemed to have been rumored to be very willful. She seemed to have regretted her relationship with Hodil before. The youngest son of the family is engaged, which makes the Hodir family very angry.

Looking back now, this Ms. Jasmine is really not a simple person, otherwise how could she capture the heart of such a man.

Next, people's attention focused on the cardinal again.

I saw this older bishop slowly walking onto the stage, and then, with everyone looking at him in disbelief, he stood in the middle of the groom's New Year's Eve.

"."

"???????"

Everyone knows what this means, but the guests in the audience still have confused expressions on their faces. Just now, they thought that the cardinal appeared because there was something going on in the church itself and needed to be informed by the Holy See. Requisition and the like can be done now.

But now it means that the cardinal called the priest down because he wanted to personally host the wedding?

ah? ? ?

People were a little confused. Some of them felt that they should kneel down first, crawl on the ground, and hold the sunflower pendant they were carrying high above their heads, so as to show their piety. But it is a wedding at this time, and you can't do it at the wedding. Kneel down towards the podium, right?

For a moment, people had no idea what to do. They just felt like their brains were foggy and they just stood there, dizzy.

Jasmine on the stage was actually very confused, but looking at Watson in front of her, she surprisingly accepted everything in front of her. Even if there was a cardinal standing next to her, she didn't think there was anything wrong. .

"I really don't know what kind of guy I married. You have to organize your language well, otherwise you won't be able to explain it tonight." She smiled, her eyes full of perseverance, as if she was saying, 'As long as I have With you here, I can accept no matter how ridiculous things happen. ’

However, Jasmine is still too young.

Because the next second, the older cardinal next to her touched his robe up and down, as if he found that he did not bring a pocket watch, and looked at the audience apologetically: "Your Highness the Saint, yes It’s not time to start.”

You see, in this world, there are people who don't care about the upper limit of what others can bear and only think about their own convenience.

Mrs. Hudson is already very low-key.

You are a cardinal and you can't remember the time. Why are you asking the bridegroom or the bride? Why are you pulling your neck to ask the Holy Lady, who is so close to you?

But it was too late now. After saying these words, the entire church hall fell into silence as if the speakers had been unplugged.

Only then did people seem to realize the identity of the woman standing behind them who had been apologizing for being late. Some people fell back and were supported by another person. They did not fall to the ground with a thud, but the support The person who lived with someone else also felt his legs weaken and began to lean on the other person.

One of the concierges looked pale because just five minutes ago, he was displeased to remind the woman in white beside him that she must abide by the time limit next time, and the latter bowed her head and apologized to her very remorsefully.

At this moment, a heard legend seemed to flash through the concierge's mind, as if there was a place in this world called the Blood Prison.

In this silence, Jasmine opened her mouth and looked at the woman in white in the audience. Well, she felt that she could not accept everything.

Watson felt a little headache, because he was about to tell the other party that the room they were living in now belonged to Her Majesty the Saint. Last night, she proudly showed off, saying that she had never lived in such a simple room since she was a child. Woolen cloth.

It seems that this matter needs to be discussed slowly.

The arrival of Her Majesty the Holy Lady was certainly enough to surprise the people in this church for a while, but the very old cardinal didn't care about it. When he was young, he also worked as a priest little by little and also presided over the church. After several weddings, adhering to the memory of the wedding process that he still had, he simply ignored the atmosphere and invited the best man and bridesmaid to the stage.

What stands out is that one acts according to the rules.

then

A man and a woman walked to the wedding reception.

The best man stood beside Watson, holding a wedding ring in his hand.

The bridesmaid also stood beside Jasmine naturally, smiling and holding a ring in her hand.

Watson frowned, looked at his wife who was completely dumbfounded, and then looked at the guests who were also completely confused. He quietly moved closer to Sherlock and whispered: "I didn't say that before, she Come be the bridesmaid."

Sherlock shrugged: "She came back from the front line specially, so we can't let her travel in vain, right?"
