Chapter 402: Light and Darkness
"I found them a dormitory, and they lived in the school, so it was convenient to eat and live. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
A bell rang in the school, and He Yun waited for the bell to stop and said, "It's school, you go and see them." ”
"Okay, Aunt He." Xu Lang replied, "I'll take them out for a meal, and I'll send them back after eating." ”
Xu Lang called Zhao Zhiruo to go to the dormitory of the three children together, and asked Bihe and Ziyun to go home and talk to Cheng Yiyi, and the two of them would not go home for dinner. After Bihe and Ye Zhan got married, they still went to school in the school and did not stay at home, which was also what Cheng Yiyi and Mrs. Ye said at the beginning.
"Xu Lang, Sister Yiyi told me something a few days ago." Zhao Zhiruo accompanied Xu Lang on the path of the campus, "Xiaoyong has been more than 2 months, Sister Yiyi means that she doesn't need to be taken care of by Siqin and ink painting, and wants to send them to the school." ”
"They have to come." Xu Lang lit a cigarette as he walked, "It's just that it's a little too early, if they are not at home, only Miss Chen is alone, and they have to carry filial piety, I'm afraid they will be too busy again." ”
"That's what I said to Sister Yiyi." Zhao Zhiruo naturally took Xu Lang's arm, "But Sister Yiyi said that Si Qin and Mohua are very envious of Bihe and Ziyun now, and I'm afraid it won't be good if it drags on any longer." ”
"Did your new kids start school in August?" Xu Lang asked.
"Yes, it's summer vacation in a few days. The summer vacation is almost a month, and the school starts in August. ”
"Then let's leave it at that, let them enter the school in August, so that they can start from scratch."
The two of them came to the dormitory while talking.
"Feng Bin, Feng Bin." Xu Lang stood in front of the dormitory and shouted.
"General Xu." Feng Bin jumped out of the dormitory, came over and grabbed Xu Lang's hand and kept shaking, "Why did General Xu come back, I look forward to you coming to see me every day these days." ”
Xu Lang touched Feng Bin's head: "Didn't I come to see you as soon as I came back, how are you doing in the academy, I heard your principal say that you are very smart." ”
"That's it." Feng Bin looked up at Xu Lang, "Mr. Xu, this place is so good, I've never heard people say so many new things." I didn't know what the sun was, the stars, or what was outside the sea. ”
"You'll find out later." Xu Lang smiled, "Are Wang Fanyi and Wang Fanxin here?" ”
"They're in the house." Feng Bin pulled Xu Lang into the house, shouting as he walked, "Fanyi, Fanxin, General Xu has come to see us." ”
Xu Lang walked into the house, and there were two children standing in the room who shouted at Xu Lang a little timidly: "Hello General Xu." ”
Xu Lang glanced at it, and the two children were relatively thin, the one on the left was slightly taller, and the one on the right was slightly whiter.
Xu Lang took the hands of the two children: "I am good friends with your uncle, your parents and uncle have entrusted you two to me, you can come to me for anything in the future." ”
After Xu Lang finished speaking, he pointed to Zhao Zhiruo behind him: "You should all know each other, this is Mr. Zhao from the school, and you can find her if you have something to do in the future." ”
Zhao Zhiruo said with a smile: "Go wash your hands, General Xu will take you out to eat tonight." ”
Feng Bin suddenly remembered Gao Chen: "General Xu, why didn't Brother Gao Chen come to see me?" ”
"Your brother Gao Chen can't leave now if he has something to do, he will go directly to the restaurant in a while, and you will be able to see him during dinner."
Xu Lang asked about the situation of life and whether the diet was customary, so he and Zhao Zhiruo went to the Yulin Bay Hotel with their three children.
Gao Chen had already arranged the meal in the hotel, Feng Bin looked at Gao Chen's epaulettes and asked, "Brother Gao, there is one more star on your shoulder." ”
Zhao Zhiruo also noticed: "Senior Staff Officer, when did you get promoted to captain?" ”
"Mr. Zhao." Gao Chen said with a smile, "This is all a promotion by the Chief of the General Staff." ”
After eating, Xu Lang asked Gao Chen to send the three children back to the school, and he accompanied Zhao Zhiruo to go home slowly.
Yulin Bay Hotel is still some distance from Xu Lang's home, although the moonlight is very good tonight, but the road is still not very clear.
Xu Lang held Zhao Zhiruo's hand and suddenly said with emotion: "If only there were street lights." ”
Zhao Zhiruo asked puzzledly, "What is a street lamp?" ”
"It's an oil lamp next to the road." Xu Lang pointed ahead and said, "Put oil lamps on both sides of the road, and wait until the evening is lit, so that people who walk at night will not be dark, and they will be much more beautiful." ”
"Lights on the road?" Zhao Zhiruo was a little unconvinced, "That's a lot of money." ”
"yes, it's a lot of money."
Xu Lang knows that China's street lights appeared very late. In 1843, the first street lamp appeared on the streets of Shanghai, China, which was lit with kerosene. Later, the street lamps in the Shanghai Concession were changed to gas lamps, which were transplanted from London, and their brightness was several times higher than that of kerosene lamps. It wasn't until 1879 that the first electric light in China was finally lit up at the 16th Ponte Wharf in Shanghai.
In Europe, England experimented with artificial lighting on city streets from the 15th century. At the beginning of the 16th century, lighting fixtures had to be installed outside the windows of Parisian residential houses. In 1667, Louis XIV, known as the "Sun King", also officially issued a decree on the lighting of urban roads. Legend has it that it was because of this decree that the reign of Louis XIV was called the "Bright Age" in French history.
Europe has entered the Age of Light, and Yulin Bay, the most advanced in the Ming Dynasty, is still shrouded in darkness.
Xu Lang no longer thought about the street lamp, turned his head to Zhao Zhiruo and said, "Zhiruo, didn't you say that you want to give me a daughter?" ”
Zhao Zhiruo lowered her head: "Listen to you." ”
Xu Lang's heart stirred, and he gently squeezed Zhao Zhiruo's hand: "I've been back for so long, I've been busy with work every day, and I haven't touched you, why don't you work hard tonight?" ”
Zhao Zhiruo said apologetically, "I want to too, but I'm here today." ”
"Ugh." Xu Lang was a little disappointed, "Okay, wait a few more days." ”
Zhao Zhiruo leaned her head on Xu Lang's shoulder and said softly, "Xu Lang, why don't you discuss it with Sister Yiyi and find another one." ”
"You're really virtuous." Xu Lang smiled, "Don't look for it, it's enough to have the two of you, I'm already very satisfied." ”
Zhao Zhiruo heard Xu Lang say this, and leaned back again with joy.
"Hey, Zhiruo." Xu Lang suddenly asked, "Did you discuss with your sister Yiyi to test me?" ”
"Hee-hee." Zhao Zhiruo smiled, "No, I'll just ask casually." ”
The two of them talked and laughed and returned home, Chen had not slept yet, and was enjoying the shade in the yard with Siqin and Mohua with their children.
