Chapter 18: Facing the Holy Again
Seeing that the Lin family looked lost and depressed, Zhuo Ruoning hurriedly took her hand and comforted: "Mother, it's just a different house to live in, and it's not that we won't see each other in the future." ”
"Phew, what nonsense!"
"I came back and occupied my father's house, and he had to go to the study, which was not right. Besides, my sisters all live in the back, so isn't it convenient for me to move in with them? ”
Lin glared at her: "When did you get tired of communicating with them?" ”
Mother Jiang interjected on the side: "Madam, it's okay for the fifth girl to move to Moon Shadow Xuan, the second wife is handling the chores on the other side, and the housekeepers come and go in the courtyard, it is really inconvenient for the fifth girl to live here." Besides, you are all back, so naturally you have to get along with the eldest master a lot and make up for the estranged feelings over the years. ”
The Lin family was reluctant to give up their daughter, and they didn't care about anything else, "But Nian Nian has grown so big that he has never left my side......"
"Girls always have to grow up," Jiang's mother said with a smile, "but the marriage between the fifth girl and General Xiao Geng, you still have to find a way to settle it, the eldest lord is like a breeze and a bright moon, he would rather suffer a loss than leave a handle for others, he is a man, how can he understand the importance of marriage to a woman." ”
Zhuo Ruoning's head grew when she heard this, and she hurriedly reminded her: "Mother Jiang, Daddy said that he was not allowed to go to Mrs. Changxinghou, if he went secretly, he would definitely be furious." ”
Mother Jiang smiled slyly: "The day after tomorrow. On the Buddha Bathing Festival, all the women in the city will go to the temple to burn incense and participate in the fasting party, and Mrs. Changxing Hou will definitely go too. The lord won't let me visit, but if it happens, he can't blame you, right? ”
Lin clapped his hands excitedly: "That's exactly the truth." ”
Jiang's mother: "But the Marquis of Changxing is a nobleman, presumably he has set a dormitory early, and he also avoids the crowd when he visits the shrine, so if you want to see her, I'm afraid it will not be easy." ”
Lin: "Then what should I do, that day the Great Bao'en Temple must be crowded, and the master may not be willing to pass it on." ”
Zhuo Ruoning nodded like a chicken pecking rice: "Well, since it's not easy, I think it's better to forget it." ”
Mother Jiang pointed to the opposite side: "Isn't the second son back, he is the best with General Xiao Geng, let him ask Mrs. Changxing which courtyard Mrs. Changxing lives in?" ”
Zhuo Ruoning: "The second brother wants to prepare for the exam, and my grandfather said that no one is allowed to disturb him." ”
Lin got up and said, "It doesn't matter, this matter is related to your lifelong happiness, can Brother Xiao not contribute?" ”
Zhuo Xiao in the west wing room finished talking to the second master and the second wife and was about to go back to the room, and when he heard the Lin family explain his intentions, he frowned in embarrassment.
Lin said: "Brother Xiao, my aunt knows that you are preparing for the exam, and she shouldn't have bothered you at this time, but Niannian is your sister, she has been weak and sick since she was a child, and now she doesn't know who she provoked, the rumors outside are ugly, if I don't meet with Mrs. Changxinghou and make it clear, I'm afraid there will be a misunderstanding." ”
Zhuo Xiao was embarrassed, and saw Zhuo Ruoning poking his head out from behind the Lin family, and desperately squeezed his eyebrows at him.
The second wife had already heard their conversation in the house, and came out and said to Zhuo Xiao: "This matter won't delay much time, so you can help the eldest aunt run an errand." ”
said to the Lin family: "But friendship is friendship, Geng Kan is the son of the Marquis of Changxing after all, his temper sister-in-law knows, if you don't want to say it, sister-in-law don't complain about Brother Xiao'er's ineffective work." ”
Lin was overjoyed: "That's nature, Brother Xiao, if this thing is done, the eldest aunt will not forget your goodness, and she will not forget it." ”
Zhuo Xiao: "It's all a family, and the eldest aunt will see the outside when she says this." Niannian, you come with me. ”
Zhuo Xiao lived in a quiet small courtyard next to the West Wing, Zhuo Ruoning followed him into the study, puffed out his face and said dissatisfied: "Second brother, didn't I give you a look and ask you not to agree?" ”
Zhuo Xiao: "Auntie begged to come to me, but she didn't agree, but what's the matter with you, why don't you let me ask?" ”
"Geng Kan doesn't want to marry me, and I don't want to marry him, isn't everyone happy to quit the marriage?"
Zhuo Xiao showed a strange look, stretched out a finger and pointed at her forehead: "Are you broken here?" Didn't I like Geng Kan a lot before, didn't he marry him? ”
Zhuo Ruoning pursed her lips disdainfully: "That's all stupid things that I did when I was young and ignorant." ”
The so-called authorities are fascinated, she can't see anything good about Geng Kan, the original Zhuo Ruoning must have been fascinated by something, and she was in a hurry to marry someone who hated herself, and she would definitely not be happy after marriage, so she had to help her jump out of the fire pit.
Zhuo Xiao showed a pleased smile: "That's right, I'm afraid that you will drill the horns." ”
Zhuo Ruoning had more important things to ask him: "Second brother, when you were traveling, did you hear that a big guy fell somewhere, it was as tall as a ten-story building, it looked like a bazooka, and there were many instruments in it that were not available here?" ”
Zhuo Xiao smiled: "If such a big guy falls, won't the people of the whole country have to see it?" ”
Zhuo Ruoning: "What if the imperial court wants to study secretly and hide the instrument from being seen?" ”
"If a behemoth falls from the sky, it is either a miracle or a disaster, how can it be hidden? If it was a miracle, the court would have beaten gongs and drums to proclaim the world; If there is a disaster, the emperor will have to issue an edict to blame himself and introspect. Where did you hear about this? ”
This analysis was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, splitting the dream of beauty, putting the cruel reality in front of Zhuo Ruoning, she screamed "whooping", and fell on Zhuo Xiao's desk, and the bookmark pen holder on the table was pushed to the ground one after another.
"Be careful!"
Zhuo Xiao quickly pulled her behind him, and saw a small wooden box on the table fall to the ground, the wooden box contained two brown fruits the size of eggs, one of the fruits fell into two petals, and a black stone the size of a peanut rolled out, and the moment it touched the ground, the stone made a soft sound of "zizi" and emitted blue smoke.
"What is this?" Zhuo Ruo couldn't be sad and poked his head out from behind him.
"Get out of the way, this is a thunderbolt, I bought it from an out-of-town merchant, it's dangerous, don't hurt you." He said and ran out to find tools.
The stone kept smoking on the ground, Zhuo Ruoning squatted down, observed the stone curiously, and lay on the ground to smell the smell.
When Zhuo Xiao found the tongs in the kitchen and returned, he suddenly heard a crumbling howl. The crying alarmed the whole house, Zhuo Xiao ran back to the study, and saw Zhuo Ruoning lying on the ground crying heartbreakingly.
"What's wrong? Oops, how do you lie on the ground? The second lady ran in after her.
"I can't go back, it's all broken into slag, ahhh......hh
"Unbelievable!" The second wife turned around and ran out to shout: "Sister-in-law, Niannian is crazy......
The black stone, which is the fragment of the dark matter fusion that provides energy in the power plant, may have been burned at high temperatures, re-condensed into particles, and the surface was oxidized to black.
The nightmare became a reality, the instrument was really destroyed, this was a catastrophe for Zhuo Ruoning, her way back was cut off, and it was no wonder if she didn't collapse.
But she was born in a family of scientific researchers, and has the excellent qualities of the top scientists, and the more desperate she is, the more she can calm down and think and find something else.
She woke up at dawn, and in the darkness she thought about the current situation and all the resources she could use, and suddenly sat up straight from the bed, startling Xia Sang who was on duty.
"Fifth girl, what's wrong with you?"
Zhuo Ruo's eyes showed a fierce light, gritted his teeth and said: "There must be more than these two found by the second brother, I have to find all the fragments......"
