live with conscience

The engagement ceremony was sensational, spectacular and luxurious. It is not an exaggeration to say that it was the wedding of the century.

Those who received the invitation did not expect that they would be attending such a grand engagement ceremony.

Watson stood next to Sherlock with a stiff smile.

Today his best friend, Sherlock, is doing admirably.

As the man's best friend, he is welcoming the guests at the gate of the manor with the Holmes family and Lin Lan.

A white suit matched the fiancée's white dress very well, completely interpreting the appearance of men and women.

In fact, Watson thinks that it is a woman who is rich and a man.

The castle of Lin Lan's family definitely has an area of ​​[-] square meters. It is an ancient, traditional, and well-maintained castle.

Although she said very modestly, it was not as good as Windsor Castle!

But Watson really doesn't want to hate the rich!

What shocked Watson even more was——

"Sherlock, Lin Lan, ahem...the ones who just passed in front of me were...really...your highness the prince and the princess? Oh my god, the one who got out of the car was the prime minister, right! Why did they appear, It's just... just an engagement ceremony! Mycroft's masterpiece?"

Mycroft retorted with a smile on the side: "Mr. Watson, what made you misunderstand that I, an ordinary British government civilian, has the ability to invite these big shots?"

Sherlock frowned: "Not you?"

Mycroft: "Of course not!"

Watson: "Who is that..."

Lin Lan poked Sherlock: "The prime minister is here, don't chat yet!"

McCoff: ...

After a group of big shots passed by, he finally had the opportunity to ask his brother's fiancée who always surprised him.

"Dear Lin Lan, can you explain to us?"

Lin Lan: "Macrof, you know, I'm getting engaged, I've grown up, and I need to take over some small businesses so that my future life will not be stretched."

Can the small industry invite this group of profitless people who don't get up early?

Even Dr. Watson didn't believe it.

Sherlock smiled and gave the most accurate answer: "Wedding industry, restaurant chain industry, snack industry, cultural industry and... charity?"

Lin Lan was a little surprised: "You know it all, so I won't explain it, that's what happened. But it's not a wedding, it's a wedding dress. It was originally my exclusive clothing design team, and I just found them a chance to earn extra money. "

Watson: ...

Sherlock finally couldn't help but blacken his face: "Miss Edward, I think we are just engaged, not married!"

Mycroft immediately said: "Dad, Mom is here, please calm down! Sherlock! They don't know about this stupid thing we did!"

That's right, the two brothers unanimously decided to hide the inside story of this engagement from their parents.

Because they are kind and principled, like the old Sherlock Holmes couple, they would never approve of their son dragging another kind girl into the water for the sake of their own daughter.

In their traditional thinking, getting engaged is actually getting married.

Anyway, their excuse for unification is that a kind girl fell in love with Sherlock after reading Watson's blog.

And Sherlock had to accept the engagement because he lost a bet with her.

After McCoff's crooked building, he succeeded in making the two elders think that Sherlock is actually interested in other girls, otherwise he would not deliberately lose to the girl, and even accepted her absurd idea impatiently.

Otherwise, with Sherlock's personality, could a girl force him to agree to an engagement?

Although it doesn't make sense, the two old people half believed that love makes people stupid.

Until today, I saw that the woman held the engagement ceremony so grandly, and the youngest son showed that I was impatient, but I still endured it.

The remaining half was also swallowed.

Sighing with relief, the youngest son has finally found someone he loves.

I am very happy to help my son take his fiancée back.

They were expecting Lin Lan, the youngest son they had always thought would be single for the rest of their lives, to ask them to allow them to hold a wedding.

Sherlock immediately recovered his good-natured smile, smiled at the old Sherlock couple, then changed his angle, and continued his question: "Clothing, scene arrangement, food, and even gifts are all your property, Miss Lin Lan , are you showing off your wealth?"

Lin Lan smiled sweetly: "Pay attention to your tone, although we are just pretending to be a married couple, please give me due respect! As we are here, the only engagement in our life, oh... there will be no wedding , believe my hunch, I think I made it more luxurious, not too much?"

Watson, who wanted to persuade the fight, agreed with Lin Lan's words: "Sherlock, you have to understand the romantic heart of women. It's not a marriage anyway. It's just a witness ceremony and lunch time. There are still three hours at most. You can do it." Can't bear your temper?"

Sherlock tried to take a deep breath: "I have endured for four days and nine hours, 34 minutes and 58 seconds. There are no experiments, no cases, and even cigarettes..." Because of the word "cigarettes", Watson and Mycroft's condemning eyes greeted them. He had no choice but to restrain himself: "Well, I still have to laugh foolishly for five or six hours, just for this irrational and meaningless romance! Apart from giving the goldfish brain a burst of self-satisfaction for a moment, what special use does it have?"

As the fiancee who are the protagonists of the home court, their words and deeds are noticed by everyone present. Sherlock's hysteria obviously surprised the guests on the side.

Mycroft first smiled at the people around him: "I'm impatient... You know, at times like this, I always hope that time will pass faster." After hearing the good-natured teasing from the surrounding guests, he immediately turned his head black. Face snarled at the restless younger brother: "I'll say it again, today is your engagement, for the sake of Oulos, you can't mess it up, will you die if you are considerate of the lady's mood?"

Realizing that he seemed to have lost his composure, he turned around and smiled at the surrounding guests again, adjusted his emotions, and tried to communicate with his younger brother with ADHD: "How can I say that such a lady with wealth, talent, and temperament is willing to spend so much for you. It's just to hold an engagement ceremony with no future, to the extent that the whole world knows about it, you should accept it with a smile and gratitude! You know, Lin Lan doesn't owe us anything! Smile..."

"Okay, you're right, br-ther!" Sherlock smiled again, "I'll try to be patient!"

Watson saw that Sherlock was calmed down by McCoff, he breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled at Lin Lan who was beside him, wanting to ease the awkward atmosphere, he could understand that a girl met a grumpy man at the engagement ceremony. What does Nai's fiancé feel like, it's just...

This lady has a confused look on her face!

Lin Lan: ...

"Did you misunderstand something? Romantic? Can you use words I understand?"

Sherlock, who had just been appeased, wanted to explode again, but thought that just like what Mycroft said, for the sake of Orros, he also wanted to let this wedding continue in a dignified and happy way in the eyes of the world. Lan hugged her tightly, sticking it affectionately next to her earlobe, noticing the momentary stiff resistance of the person in her arms, inexplicably aroused a sense of vengeful pleasure.

Such an approach made McCoff and Watson helplessly want to beat him up at the same time, but because of the wedding scene, they still had to help him make up for it with a smile!

It's really hard work to be an older brother (friend) for this sake!

"Happy families, loving couples, children like angels, there are a hundred families here, how many lines will you line up to hold the skirt when their children bring them back? When I was trying on clothes, I saw that Your skirt is long enough to cover the red carpet! And today’s food, small gifts, you have prepared tens of thousands of copies. Oh... from the wealthy businessmen to the homeless, you are all invited. It's not because of your unsatisfied vanity... what is it for!"

Lin Lan now believes that her fiancé is really just like what Mycroft said, he is a giant baby who hasn't grown up: "Calm down, Sherlock, first let me clarify my position, I am also very impatient now! But , please be patient for a few hours, you know, you are not the only one who has been tossed these days! I am also a victim! God knows, I also think a small ritual can solve it! Use your superhuman observation and logic, you Look around carefully again! Please! Romantic... Vanity is something you can't eat or drink, I might as well plant two potted flowers!"

In order to prevent the person in his arms from resisting, Sherlock held both of Lin Lan's wrists. He could be sure that the lady in her arms, which was full of fresh plant smell due to long-term care of flowers and plants, was not lying.

Slowly calm yourself down and observe the people around you.

Scanning the guests one by one, he soon discovered many details that he didn't pay attention to, no, he should have noticed, but was too irritated to pay attention to the details.

"They... are not... related by blood?" According to the genetic characteristics of human eyelids, all children born to parents with double eyelids have double eyelids, and among the more than 100 families, more than a dozen have both does not meet this characteristic.

Lin Lan used Sherlock to be a head and a half taller than him, able to block most of the sight, and rolled her eyes indecently: "I finally found out, Mr. Sherlock Holmes, can you let me go first, you know, impatient I actually don't mind beating up my fiancé at the engagement ceremony!"

"Suck..." Sherlock felt the sharp pain on his toes caused by the high heels, and the strength fully showed that the owner of the shoes was indeed as impatient as she said: "It hurts, give me an explanation ..."

The eyes of the guests secretly looking at the unmarried couple have never been less.

From their point of view, Sherlock and Lin Lan are a loving and unmarried couple.

Now that the guests have arrived and the ceremony is about to begin, the two are looking for opportunities to flirt happily, no, to show their affection.

If a hug doesn't solve the problem, then tidy up each other's clothes.

Anyway, the old Sherlock Holmes and his wife were very pleased to see their youngest son help his fiancée adjust the floral veil on his head with a smile, and his lover also thoughtfully helped her adjust the angle of the tie.

"My hair hurts!"

"I'm almost out of breath!"

Mycroft and Watson:  …

Lost to these two!

Hooking up again... No, Sherlock took his fiancée's hand again, and Sherlock, who was stuffed into his arm, touched his tie happily, but actually let the tie loosen, so he breathed a sigh of relief: "Where do you invite all your guests?"

Lin Lan hung her hand back on her fiancé's arm shyly, lowered her head and patted her sore scalp to relieve the pain caused by the giant baby's fiancé's brutality: "The rich and powerful people you mentioned are probably because of the shares in my property and the political taxes I paid. Charity... The children adopted by those families are all children who have suffered from major diseases and undergone major operations, and they are the beneficiaries of my industry's charity funds."

Sherlock asked the point: "Then what do their parents have to do with you?"

Every family looked at them with the most sincere blessings. It was obvious that they were very familiar with their fiancée, and they also showed gratitude and respect.

Lin Lan was really surprised this time: "How do you know that most of them are orphans funded by me? Now... they are all working in my industry. Because they are in the same circle, they know each other and love each other. It is to help more children who have the same experience as us. These are not explained in the information that McCoff gave you?"

Watson: "Oh my god... Lin Lan, I didn't think of that! I think I need to apologize. Sherlock didn't read those materials and set them on the fireplace. I didn't have time to stop him."

"A personal file that has been beautified to look like a saint?" Sherlock was very disdainful: "Poor girl, the eight-year-old family suffered a serious car accident while traveling, and with a huge insurance gift and inheritance, she successfully grew up into a beautiful, kind-hearted girl. , smart girl, how inspiring and beautiful? What is there to see!"

Mycroft felt that Sherlock was really hopeless: "I will never give you fake information! Please trust my character!"

Sherlock shrugged: "But your character will definitely be concealed, right! I have experienced it personally, Mycroft, your credit value is not high with me."

Lin Lan didn't bother to pay attention to the quarrel between the two brothers, and shook her head, trying to get rid of the dizziness in her head. She didn't know why, since she decided to get engaged, some strange memories always appeared in her head.

There is one who will hold the cauldron, she calls her father's potions master...

There was one holding a stick, and she asked Brother Monkey to kill all the monkeys...

There is also a very magnificent Chinese palace floating among the mountains...

Strange memories are always interrupted violently by a Taoist priest wearing a Taoist robe and waving a whisk outside a huge planet.

Of course, in the end she hit him hard with five beads!

"Are you okay?" Lin Lan came back to his senses, and heard Mr. Watson's worried question: "Your eyes are very strange, it seems that you can't find the focal length!"

As for the complexion, the makeup is too successful, there is no flaw at all, and it can't be seen.

Only then did Lin Lan realize that the quarrel between the Holmes brothers had stopped, and they looked at her with a little worry.

Trying to make myself laugh: "It may be that I have been too tired these days, too many things have piled up. Since the car accident when I was a child, my health has not been very good. After getting engaged, I think I need to take a good rest. Wheel. What were you talking about just now?"

Sherlock didn't mean to be sympathetic at all, and said sarcastically: "Mycroft helped you fabricate fake information."

"What fake information?"

"Say you've been helping orphans all over the UK since you were nine years old."

"How is it possible? At that time, my pocket money could only help ten orphanages!"

"Say you have excellent grades since childhood, and you even participated in an expert-level seminar last year."

"That's not right. I'm not in good health. I have been taught by tutors at home. There is no comparison. How do you know that I have excellent grades? As for last year's expert-level seminar, I paid for it. I went there when I was free. Just look."

"You are very homely. Even though you are beautiful, smart, and wealthy, you are willing to be unknown. You are a restrained and kind lady, and you must be a good wife!"

"I'm sure, you're angry with me because of the last point! I'm sorry, I don't think I'm beautiful. As for being smart, there are many smart people in the world, and wealth is even more nonsense. I have this in the UK." Clothing, food, housing and transportation are just a few chain industries, which are far behind those big crocodiles. As for being anonymous, it’s just because I’m not in good health and don’t like to run around!”

Lin Lan was very curious: "Mycroft, can you tell me what made you have such a deep... um... misunderstanding about me?"

At this moment, Mycroft's expression is: 囧!

He finally affirmed a fact that he had already noticed, that his brother, his fiancée, was also a freak!

However, seeing Dr. Watson's suspicious eyes, he felt that he had to wash away this stain.

Take a deep breath, today is their engagement banquet, smile, yes, smile brightly: "Dear Lin Lan, you can't deny that you donate a huge amount of money to most orphanages in the UK every year."

Lin Lan immediately retorted: "No, I just donated a sum when I was nine years old. Every year after that, the finances scientifically allocated funds from the annual profits of the industry, for scientific tax avoidance and... Yes, love, everyone is doing this. I am not the richest man in the world, how could I be so impartial!"

McCoff: ...

However, there are too many things that can be manipulated in it. Even the richest predators will play tricks in it. There are so many people who will do this without compromise. You are the only one!

"Okay, you like to think so, you think so, but in last year's expert seminar, you did ask a few targeted questions in the expert seminar, which changed the direction of the whole seminar to make Where people are surprised.”

Lin Lan: "Can rational questions be packaged in this way? If you praise me like this, I will be very embarrassed."

McCoff: ...

The problem is, the question you ask cannot be answered without an in-depth understanding of the topic at that time!

"Humility... is indeed a virtue." The tired McCoff tried to change the subject: "You took care of most of the gardens in Castle Edward, right? It's so beautiful!"

This is true.

No one can deny that in the luxurious Edwardian castle, all kinds of pleasing flowers and plants add a lot of color to it.

Lin Lan tilted her head: "Macroft, you can't reasonably infer that I'm an IKEA IKEA from the care of these flowers and plants... Poof... what a good wife!"

After listening to Dr. Watson, he probably understood McCoff's feelings, and he offered to help: "Isn't this a very normal reasoning? A lady who likes flowers and plants is definitely a kind and beautiful lady! I don't know if I have It's an honor, can you taste the delicacy of the owner of Castle Edward when you have time?"

Lin Lan made a gesture of spreading her hands with her still moving hands: "Anytime, my chefs should be very happy, they finally have the time to stretch their hands. By the way, I have never been in the kitchen since I was a child, and, I usually prefer to order takeaway!"

Watson: ...

Finally, I can understand the mood of McCaw.

He had a feeling that life after Sherlock and Lin Lan would be wonderful.

Without waiting for their questions, Lin Lan said the rest: "Castle Edward is big enough, and there are many plants that can be planted. I seem to like doing this naturally. Many experts seem to be less talented than me. , That’s why everyone thinks that I don’t like going out, except that my authoritarian great-grandfather doesn’t allow me, and I don’t have much curiosity about the outside world.”

"As for why this engagement ceremony is so cumbersome and extravagant, it's because Grandpa Smith and the others, the butlers, are about to retire, and I need to take back my property from them. The adjustment. Grandpa and Grandma Smith used to be the chief guards and etiquette teachers of the British royal family, but I didn’t expect that they could really invite princes and princesses over, and the Prime Minister, probably because I was going to adjust the direction of the industry, So it’s just a drop by, it’s not as exaggerated as you think.”

"However, Sherlock, we have to thank them." Lin Lan smiled, with sincere eyes, no one doubted the gratitude in her words: "Since my car accident, I have lost a lot of memory, and I can only vaguely remember my father. , mother, I don’t remember anything else. Grandpa Smith said that it was because I hurt my head, and they have been taking care of me with all their heart.”

"Right now, knowing our absurdity, trying to make our engagement the best it can be."

Speaking of this, Lin Lan was very sad: "But they have their own lives, and I have grown up, so I can no longer tie them to my side."

"I think, we really only have an engagement ceremony, don't talk about feelings, just look at the effect, it is really perfect, this is their most sincere expectation for us, but I want to get married... or not Already!"

"So, can I ask you to have a perfect engagement ceremony with me!"

Sherlock didn't know why, looking at Lin Lan who was smiling at this time, he was a little lost. He always felt that this girl was like a strange person in a strange shell, full of loopholes, and there was no sense of disobedience, but she didn't Not the real her.

Old Sherlock's voice came: "Sherlock, don't be dumbfounded, come over with Lin Lan quickly, the ceremony is about to begin."

Following the good-natured laughter of the guests, Sherlock, who reacted, took Lin Lan, under the skirts of more than 100 angelic children, slowly crossed the wreath and walked to the priest.

It's just that Sherlock didn't know that at this time, his movements eased a lot.

"Mr. Sherlock Holmes, do you really fall in love with Miss Lin Lan Edward and admit that she will become your fiancée?"

"Yes."

"Miss Lin Lan Edward, do you really fall in love with Mr. Sherlock Holmes and hope that he will become your fiancé?"

"of course."

Hearing Lin Lan's very affirmative answer, Sherlock's heart beat unnaturally and violently.
