There is no doubt that it is precisely because of the existence of the family that the most outstanding virtues of human society can be created, strengthened and inherited.

Cleaned herself and put on Mrs. Hudson's old clothes when she was young, and it unexpectedly fitted, which probably had something to do with her sleeping in the open for half a month. She touched her pointed chin, and felt very dissatisfied with her skinny state, because she still had the momentum of a 'queen' like this, and she clearly turned into a bunch of cabbage, and she looked malnourished at first glance.

Liu Fanxu had no choice but to secretly resolve to do her best to change her quality of life, no matter where she went, she would not compromise with life and bow to fate. This is her dignity and her persistence. Liu Fanxu looked in the mirror and pulled her hair into a woman's bun, which made Mrs. Hudson, who was standing aside and looking at her new image with satisfaction, red-eyed. Liu Fanxu looked at Mrs. Hudson's tearful appearance through the mirror, and knew that she must have made up a new plot in her brain.

Although this cannot be said to be in the right place, it is also in Liu Fanxu's interests. So she didn't open her mouth to explain, Liu Fanxu just silently swore in her heart that no matter what, she would make up for her deception of this old lady as much as possible before leaving this world. Even if she could not tell the truth to this lady, she would be honest in other ways, and this was a promise she made with her personality.

Mrs. Hudson offered to take in Liu Fanxu, she was old, and she felt very lonely when she was alone in this house. At this time, Liu Fanxu's appearance can actually be regarded as soothing her lonely soul, and the fate of people is actually so wonderful. In short, Liu Fanxu settled in 221B Baker Street, before Sherlock Holmes.

Mrs. Hudson's original intention was to place Liu Fanxu on the second floor, where there was a spacious living room and two comfortable bedrooms. However, Liu Fanxu refused, she didn't want Spencer's idol to lose this famous base. She offered to stay in the room next to Mrs. Hudson, but Mrs. Hudson refused because the bedroom was reserved for the maid.

In the end, Liu Fanxu lived on the third floor, because Mrs. Hudson's legs and feet were getting worse and worse, and the third floor was gradually idle by her, and the maid who had been working here before this time resigned and returned to her hometown, so the third floor has not been cleaned for a long time. Mrs. Hudson muttered a little dissatisfied, Liu Fanxu smiled and comforted her, rolled up her cuffs, carried the cleaning tools, and rushed up to the third floor with a menacing attitude.

In the blink of an eye, Liu Fanxu has been living at 221B Baker Street for a month. During the month, she helped Mrs. Hudson with household chores, and lived happily with both the old and the young. There were several times when Mrs. Hudson wanted to give her living expenses, but Liu Fanxu refused, saying that she regarded this place as her home, so don't let her feel that she is a hired servant, which is Liu Fanxu's insistence.

Since then, Mrs. Hudson has not mentioned the matter of living expenses again, she has made her own guess from Liu Fanxu's demeanor, she is probably the descendant of some declining nobleman, and the arrogance in her blood does not allow herself to do things that touch her self-esteem, this is her last reserve after losing her noble status.

Liu Fanxu didn't know that Mrs. Hudson had further made up for her life experience, in fact, she refused to live on her own, just because she didn't want to increase her guilt, in the final analysis, she was just trying to make herself more comfortable here.

One day, when Mrs. Hudson once again mentioned the idle living room and two bedrooms on the second floor, Liu Fanxu seemed to be nonchalantly mentioned, "Since they are vacant, it is better to rent them out, so that the rooms will not deteriorate faster because they have not been used for a long time." ”

Mrs. Hudson's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she clapped her hands and said happily, "I have thought about it before, but I am a single old lady, and I don't have a young person around to take care of me, so I have been hesitating. She winked mischievously and continued, "Now that you have the idea, let's put up the rental advertisement tomorrow, and you can choose the tenant." ”

"Me?" Liu Fanxu's eyes widened, and he asked rhetorically in surprise, "Why me," Mrs. Hudson rightfully continued, "because I see you as my child, and you see this place as home, don't you?" When Liu Fanxu heard this, he first looked at Mrs. Hudson with a loving face, then slowly lowered his eyelashes, and said in a somewhat unsteady voice, "Well, leave it to me." ”

Is that theory of destiny really unreliable? Liu Fanxu held his chin with both hands, and since the rental information was published, no less than 20 people have come here to see the house. None of them were named Sherlock Holmes, not even McCroft, and there were no less suitable tenants among the twenty. If she hadn't wanted to struggle until the last minute, if she hadn't wanted to keep a base for Spencer's idol, she would have signed a rental contract with a gentleman from before.

Yes, the rental contract, in this era when contracts are not particularly sensitive, her approach does give both parties a sense of security. Probably this is why there are more tenants who come here to ask for rent, such as new researchers or university teaching assistants.

In contrast, the real owner of the house seems to be very unconcerned. She happily sorted out her flowers and plants, and blinked her eyes every day to watch Liu Fanxu's interview with those tenants, she felt very interesting, compared with this screening process, the success of renting out the house is not so important.

Although Liu Fanxu is also familiar with Arthur Conan Doyle's "Sherlock Holmes Detective Collection", she has not seen it clearly in the book, and the time when Sherlock Holmes came to rent should not be because he had to keep a house for Sherlock, and then take the initiative to find the chemistry room of that university. Thinking of this, Liu Fanxu felt even more headache.

Wednesday in May was a good day for London, although there was still no bright sunshine in sight, after all, the sky over London was covered by strange purple clouds due to the rise of the Industrial Revolution, which was beyond nature's ability to decompose, at least there was no thick fog covering the city.

Liu Fanxu was sitting in the living room on the second floor of 221B Baker Street, receiving a tenant who was visiting for the fifth time and was becoming more and more interested in asking for guilt. There is no other reason, he wants to know more and more the reason why Liu Fanxu refused to rent the house to him, it can be seen that he is just like Liu Fanxu's initial speculation, he is a stubborn and more serious man.

"Miss, please give me a reason why you are reluctant to rent the house to me." His name was Alexander Fleming, a man who would also be known all over the world in the future. Not only that, but he was also a bacteriologist, biochemist, and microbiologist whom Spencer greatly admired. Liu Fanxu looked at him frowning slightly, and his heart trembled, because he was also a medical giant she admired very much, the discoverer of penicillin.

Five times is already the limit, and Liu Fanxu really has no reason to turn him away again, but she still needs a proper reason. Therefore, Liu Fanxu lowered his eyelashes and said in a soft voice, "I'm sorry, Mr. Fleming, I just hope you can think about it carefully." After all, it's too big for you to live alone, and the rent can be a lot of money. Wouldn't it be better if you looked for a co-tenant to share this unnecessary expense? ”

Alexander Fleming's face softened, he thought for a moment, nodded in agreement, "I think you're right, I'm sorry," he bowed his head at her, "I want to apologize to you for being rude just now." ”

Liu Fanxu shook his head and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "Oh, it's okay, Mr. Fleming, but please do your best, I will only reserve the house for you until there is a suitable tenant." ”

"Miss, you actually mean that you won't keep it for me," he looked at Liu Fanxu with a smile and continued, "You are the calmest young lady I have ever seen," he stood up, the hat in his hand neatly buttoned on his head, and he pressed the brim of his hat, "However, I still want to thank you, and I will do my best to solve the problem of the co-tenant." ”

Liu Fanxu got up and was about to speak, the door of the living room was pushed open from the outside, and Mrs. Hudson led another gentleman to stand at the door, she glanced at Fleming, bowed politely, and then looked at Liu Fanxu, and said, "My dear, this Mr. Holmes has seen the rental information in the newspaper. ”

When he heard this name, Liu Fanxu's first reaction was not, 'Ah, I've finally waited for you.' Instead, he kept telling himself that he must control his micro-expressions, and he was the originator of the discipline of social behavior and the profession of profiler. Any inappropriate expressions of his own will be fully visible to him, creating obstacles that prevent her from approaching him.

These thoughts flashed through her mind in a second, and her expression was not inappropriate in the slightest, and she politely bowed to Mr. Holmes, whom Mrs. Hudson had introduced, and then looked at Mr. Fleming, who nodded at her absently, and said, "I will come again, Miss Liu Fanxu." Well, goodbye. ”

Liu Fanxu sent his idol to the door, watched Mrs. Hudson take him downstairs, and then raised his hand to signal Mr. Holmes at the door to invite in. His physique was as thin as the book depicted, and his features were deep, especially his eagle-like eyes, but their sharpness was disguised by his politeness, which was different from Professor Snape.

There was no need to even confirm further, Liu Fanxu was quite sure that this tenant was the Sherlock Holmes she had been waiting for.
