175. The Goldfish of the British Empire[36]
Let's move on to the educational mechanics of the Sherlock Holmes family, seriously.
Mycroft went to public school at the age of thirteen, and by the time Sherlock was thirteen, he should have gone to public school as well. Every child in the Sherlock Holmes family has a place in public school, and Sherlock certainly doesn't want to be confined to the same school for six years, not to mention that he doesn't abandon his younger brother Apple Pie like Mycroft abandoned him when he went to public school.
The latter, Sherlock never said to anyone. Yes, he felt that Mycroft had abandoned him by leaving home for public school, leaving him in an ordinary world. Seriously, if it weren't for his equally intelligent brother by his side, who knows how Sherlock would have disliked the world without Mycroft.
As a result, Sherlock was adamantly reluctant to attend public school.
But Apple Pie was particularly appreciative of the second brother's going to public school, and Sherlock's face darkened all of a sudden, and he stared at his younger brother closely, trying to see any trace of forced laughter on his tender face, which was still baby fat, but unfortunately he failed. The deduction invented by McCroft, combined with Sherlock's knowledge of his brother, told him that Apple Pie was happy that he had left home to go to school!!
The second brother's gaze was too hot to ignore, and Apple Pie blinked: "Sherlock, do you have something to say to me?" ”
Apple pie is eight years old this year, different from the second brother's thin like a bamboo pole when he was eight years old, apple pie with a healthy diet and a good tooth is just like his nickname, his face is red and fluttering, and he looks like a cute Zhengtai, oh, he is still wearing suspenders← even if Mommy is also a high IQ, but it is a woman's nature to love to dress up herself and her children, but unfortunately she has three children, the first two, Mycroft and Sherlock really don't count on it, only the soft and cute apple pie can make Mommy have a good time.
Sherlock was 120,000 dissatisfied with his brother who was pretending to be stupid, and he wanted to talk to his brother, but after thinking about it, he turned his head to look at Mommy: "I'll go to public school." ”
This change of words is fast enough.
Daddy, who didn't know what was going on, said with a smile next to him: "Sherlock and Patrick have a really good relationship, see Sherlock listen to his brother." ”
Mommy didn't say anything, Sherlock just wanted to refute, but was glared at by Mommy, he rolled his eyes, okay, the main thing is that Mommy explained that he was not allowed to correct Daddy's logical problems! After Sherlock rolled his eyes, he saw the apple pie smiling, and seemed to think that there was nothing wrong with the logic of Daddy's words, Sherlock became angry namelessly, and directly pulled his brother's round face more round, and then on the grounds of being real, he polluted all the desserts in the refrigerator, and saw that the apple pie was so angry that his face puffed up, and Sherlock was a little happy in his heart.
By the time he got up for breakfast the next day, it had been many years—as if Charlie was a great age, and he was only thirteen—that there was no milk in his place, and it was still a large glass of milk, and Charlie's disgust was palpable, and of the three brothers, only Mycroft and Apple Pie liked the disgusting liquid. Sherlock didn't like milk since he was a child, and at that time he would give it to Mycroft, well, it probably added a lot to McCroft's weight.
The female boss in power in the family spoke: "Xiali, you are too thin, from today until the beginning of school, you will be supervised by the faction to drink milk." ”
Sherlock refused without thinking about it: "I don't want it!" ”
Apple Pie is also protesting: "Mommy, Patrick! ”
"Got it, baby." Mommy obviously perfunctory to the youngest baby son with insincerity, and at the same time let the second son know that this matter was not negotiable.
Sherlock looked at Mommy, who suddenly remembered to let him drink milk, and after thinking about it, he suddenly looked at the apple pie, and sure enough, the apple pie showed a small smug smile at him, and Sherlock took it as a provocative signal that his brother officially challenged him, and there seemed to be crackling sparks in the air!
Only Daddy was still unconscious, and sighed: "Sherlock and Patrick have such a good relationship, they were taught by our beautiful Sherlock Holmes." ”
The two brothers rolled their eyes in unison, but that didn't stop them from going to war.
Mommy turned a blind eye to the battle of wits between their brothers, or the war without gunpowder, anyway, it can increase wisdom and kill Xia Li's energy and make the apple pie lively, and there is nothing wrong with it, until Daddy was accidentally affected, Mommy decisively suppressed it, and it was not long before the school day.
In the face of Mommy's stop, Sherlock went upstairs with a nonchalant face, and Apple Pie looked up at his brother and said to Mommy, "Mommy, I'll talk to Charley." ”
Mommy didn't think about it and warned Apple Pie: "Don't learn how to talk to Mike." After Mommy finished speaking, the corners of her mouth twitched, she was really confused, and rubbed her little son's curly hair, "Go ahead." ”
When going upstairs, Apple Pie sighed in her heart that Mommy missed Mycroft, stood in front of Sherlock's bedroom and listened to the movement inside, and knocked on the door after confirming that Sherlock was inside.
NATURALLY, SHERLOCK WAS GIVEN A CAPITAL PISSOFF, APPLE PIE SIGHED SLIGHTLY, RESTRAINED HIS BREATH AND STOOD TO THE SIDE, AND IN LESS THAN HALF A MINUTE, THE LIGHT THAT CAME OUT OF THE CRACK IN THE DOOR CHANGED, AND HE SAID DECISIVELY: "SHERLOCK, I SEE YOU, OPEN THE DOOR." ”
Sherlock: "...... I know you're out there. ”
Apple Pie tilted her head: "Then you know I brought a spare key up?" ”
Sherlock reluctantly opened the door to let his brother in, "Of course you have to come in through the door, do you expect you to climb through the window?" Look at how fat you are now. ”
Apple pie wasn't fat, he was just a little baby fat, he blinked his eyes, looked at Sherlock and said, "Oh, Charlie, don't be so childish." ”
Sherlock immediately looked disgusted: "Don't learn from Mycroft!" ”
"Looks like everyone misses Mycroft," Apple Pie thought his eldest brother would be glad to know this, and then Apple Pie, who was already showing his #logic death# head even at the age of eight, said to his second brother sincerely, "Sherlock, I'm so happy." ”
Sherlock stared at his brother, as if waiting for him to #Dog's mouth to spit out ivory#.
"I mean, you're at home all this time, playing with me." Apple Pie climbed onto one of Sherlock's chairs and sat down, and obediently put his hands on his knees, which made him look more well-behaved. Sherlock, who knew what the hell was in his brother's core, rolled his eyes and wanted to laugh at his brother's pretense, but Apple Pie began to speak again, "It's been a long time since you've been with me for so long, I'm glad." ”
Sherlock was stunned.
Ever since Sherlock was ten years old, after encountering the case of Carl Bauwer, who drowned in a swimming pool with his shoes missing, Sherlock's pursuit of the truth has become less and less at home, except for necessary study time, or doing real work in the real yàn room. Apple Pie is damn right, he almost didn't run out during this time, he was at home and fighting wits with his brother, Sherlock didn't say it, he was still a little proud in his heart that his brother had made great progress. Great improvement? Yes, he didn't pay that much attention to his brother's progress at all, and he still felt that he didn't leave his brother behind by staying at home and not going to public school, but in fact?
"I thought you liked the outside."
The words of apple pie were like the tide slapping thirteen-year-old Xiali on the rocks of the shore called guilt, and he was really at a loss for a moment.
……
……
The guilt and confusion lasted for a long time...... In three minutes, Sherlock keenly grasped something, put his hands around his chest, and snorted: "I'm sure I didn't find reluctance in your cheers, and I remember that when I took you outside, you were too lazy to move your little short legs!" Now don't you think it's too late to say these two sensational words? Patrick Mommy's baby apple pie Sherlock Holmes! ”
"Because I heard Mommy say that Xiali, you cried so much that Mike went to public school so much that I felt the need to cry too." The circles under the eyes of the apple pie are very red for the occasion, and the circles under the eyes of Xia Li are also red, but he is angry! Howling and crying to send Mycroft out of the house or something, that's black history, black history!!
Annoyed and angry, Xia Li jumped over without doing anything, wanting to pinch his brother's round face, not to mention the feel, but is the apple pie so capable of being kneaded? As a result, the brothers played a pillow fight in Sherlock's bedroom, and when they finally got tired of playing, the brothers fell asleep on Sherlock's bed face to face.
Upstairs, Daddy, who was hit, was reassuring Mommy that he was really okay, that he had accidentally fallen in the garden to stop the beautiful Mrs. Holmes from being angry.
What a warm family.
Wait, is there anyone who has been forgotten?
Oh, it's Mike!
The eldest son of the Sherlock Holmes family, who is now twenty years old, has been absorbed into MI6 before graduating because of his excellent performance in college, and is now performing unspeakable tasks outside. The eldest brother also has green onions, no, when he is running errands outside.
However, when his precious eldest brother William Sherlock Scott Holmes was about to officially enter public school, McCroft still rushed back, Sherlock looked at Mycroft and just wanted to laugh, when he caught a glimpse of Apple Pie pretending to shed tears, and he was immediately dumbfounded.
Mycroft's perceptive gaze turned around on the two precious brothers, raising his eyebrows slightly, it seemed that there was a wonderful accident in this that he didn't know. Of course, it was impossible to ask Sherlock, and McCroft put the breakthrough on the young brother who was pretending to wipe his tears, and when Mommy and Daddy were packing their luggage, he walked over and squatted down - he took out a handkerchief, looking very gentle and considerate to help the younger brother wipe his tears, in fact, "0.7% saline?" ”
"I'm expressing my reluctance to Xia Li, just like Xia Li expressed her reluctance to Mike back then." The apple pie is really Mommy's apple pie, and all questions must be answered.
McCroft raised his eyebrows even more: "Oh? You're really not as sincere as Sherlock. ”
Apple Pie crooked his head and maliciously sold cuteness: "Is it because I'm eight years old now, and Xia Li was six years old at the time?" ”
Mycroft laughed, "Maybe." ”
Xia Li's pouting mouth could hang a soy sauce bottle, and when he got on the train to London, he sprayed all the fire in his belly on innocent passers-by, of course, not all innocent passers-by-
Greg Lestrade was not the later inspector of Scotland Yard at that time, he is still only two years out of the police academy, and he is still a police officer, but he is a young and promising police officer, and he encountered a small case shortly after he started work today. It is not big or small, because the bombardier who tried to detonate the whole train by throwing bombs on the train was identified before he started to install the bombs, so it was an attempted explosion, but the impact was also very bad, so after receiving the alarm notice, Scotland Yard sent a team of people over, and Lestrade was among them.
On the way to the London train station, he was still very curious and asked his boss: "Who has seen through it?" ”
"It's said to be a teenager, so I guess I saw it when I was rummaging through other people's luggage." The boss said casually.
For some reason, Lestrade thought it shouldn't be, but he didn't see the family who reported the crime, as if he was sending his children to public school, because he couldn't miss the reporting time, so he simply made a note and left.
The boss sneered: "Heh, a rich man who studies in public school." ”
Lestrade felt that the reason for rummaging through the luggage was even more implausible, since he was studying in a public school, then there should always be a basic tutor, but he looked at his boss who seemed to disagree, and didn't say anything.
- Well, wait another ten years, no, it won't take ten years for Sherlock Consulting Detective Holmes to face Scotland Yard for the first time, the year after he graduated from college, when he is twenty-one years old, and it will only be eight years since now. Young and promising police officer Lestrade, work hard and forge ahead, and be promoted from a police officer to a police detective and then to a detective as soon as possible!
Let's talk about the education mechanism of the Sherlock family, after Sherlock entered the public school, there was only one apple pie left in the old mansion, and he unceremoniously renamed the real yàn room that originally belonged to him and Sherlock to the apple pie real yàn room, no, it was Patrick's independent real yàn room, and began to transform into a real #tech house#, and after McCroft learned about his younger brother's progress remotely in his busy schedule, he didn't forget to send back a brand new plan book back.
The future British government is now looking forward to it, and when the two younger brothers grow up to run errands for him many years later, he really, really doesn't like legwork, and the noise, those people, alas, are unspeakable torture for the eldest son of the Sherlock Holmes. At the same time, McCroft's worries about his younger brother still could not be put down, and although he was reluctant to admit it, given his younger brother's lucky ± E's physique, the bombardier encountered on the train seemed to indicate that the shadow of unscience had not completely dissipated.
I have to admit that McCroft's concerns are not unreasonable.
During Sherlock's third week at public school, Apple Pie sat in his room staring at yesterday's newspaper, the local newspaper, as a twelve-year-old boy hanged himself from his home.
