Chapter 44: The Gossip Sisters

Zhuo Ruoning felt like she had been hit on the head, and returned to the room in a hurry, the more she thought about it, the more sad she became, feeling that she was the most pitiful person in the world.

"Spring tea, did the five girls sleep?" Zhuo Ruoling's voice.

"Nope." Chuncha glanced inside and whispered, "Somehow, I've been sighing since I came back from the main courtyard." ”

Zhuo Ruoling walked into the room and saw Zhuo Ruoning spread out on the bed in a large shape, her mouth pouting, and she looked angry.

"What's the matter, who bullied you?" Zhuo Ruoling's stomach was extinguished by her declining appearance, and she couldn't help but ask with a smile.

"Third Sister ~~~"

Zhuo Ruoning was like an octopus that had come back to life, suddenly turned over, and pounced on Zhuo Ruoling with a mournful tail.

She thinks that she has finally tasted the taste of broken love, which is a very commemorative thing, and she is fully qualified to be hypocritical, painful, and moaning without illness. Like all lovelorn girls, you have to do something to pay tribute to the first love that was ruthlessly cut off before it could sprout, such as writing some lamenting poems, crying in the wind and letting everyone comfort her.

"What are you doing here?"

However, the third sister pushed her away in disgust, and she didn't mean to pity her at all.

Zhuo Ruoning pondered for a long time, and didn't squeeze out a single tear, so she had to give up such a high-tech performance of using tears to win sympathy, and sat up straight and asked, "Third sister, have you heard of Xu Jinchen?" ”

"Have you heard of it, the fiancΓ© of the county lord of Jiangdu?"

Another hammer fell directly on the Tianling cover, and Zhuo Ruoning said angrily: "Why do you all know that I am alone in the dark?" ”

has a crush on the fiancΓ© of the county lord of Jiangdu, and this matter is too distant.

"He's a joke in the whole capital, it's normal that you haven't heard of it in Pujiang."

Zhuo Ruoning was stunned, and hurriedly pulled her to the edge of the bed to sit down, and asked, "Why do you say he's a joke?" ”

If you want to listen to gossip, now you are looking for the right person, Zhuo Ruoling suddenly forgot the original intention of coming here, and said mysteriously in her ear: "I heard that Xu Jinchen is the illegitimate son of Wei Guogong and Xuan Miaoguan's sister-in-law. When the sister-in-law was pregnant with him, the Duchess of Wei tried every means to kill him, but unfortunately things did not go as she wished, and the sister-in-law ran away. ”

Zhuo Ruoning was dumbfounded when she heard this, and asked nervously, "What happened later?" ”

Later, his sister-in-law gave birth to a child outside, Wei Guogong was afraid of his wife, and that time happened to be the mourning period of the old Wei Guogong, he didn't dare to take the child back, and he couldn't let the blood of the Xu family flow outside, so he had to ask the emperor to find a way. The emperor was merciful, and for the sake of the old Duke of Wei, he took the child to the palace to be raised by the first queen. ”

Zhuo Ruoning sighed: "Then the nun must be very beautiful, does Xu Jinchen look like her?" ”

Zhuo Ruoling didn't care that she was not born at all when the incident happened, and concluded: "Of course, otherwise, no matter how you are fascinated by Wei Guogong, the Xu family is not something that everyone can climb." ”

With a soul-soothing beauty and a miserable life experience, such a man is simply a killer for an ignorant girl like Zhuo Ruoning, she clutched her chest and asked, "Did the Duchess of Wei accept him later?" ”

"What a ruthless character the Duchess of Wei is, she ran to the palace of the first queen and cried and made a fuss, wanting to reconcile with the Duke of Wei, saying that there was no illegitimate child without her, and the emperor had to send the child to Wudang Mountain to Zhang Zhenren to raise, this gift was fifteen years, and it was not picked up until three years ago."

"No wonder Xu Jinchen is always cold, it turns out that his life experience is so miserable." The resentment towards him just now suddenly disappeared without a trace.

Zhuo Ruoling pretended to sigh, and seemed to sympathize with his plight: "But isn't it, the emperor originally wanted him to be the county lord of Shangjiangdu, but the Xu family didn't recognize his identity, and he didn't even have an official household registration, so this matter has been dragging on." The county lord of Jiangdu was miserable by him, and the marriage dragged on for three years, which has become a joke after everyone's tea and dinner. ”

Zhuo Ruoning somewhat understood the mood of the Jiangdu County Lord.

The next day, Zhuo Xiao found a copy. When Daozang came back, Zhuo Ruozhen helped sort it out, and Zhuo Ruoning worked hard to write a book and compile a book of "Interesting Stories of Golden Pills". In order not to make her handwriting, she wrote with her left hand throughout the whole process.

"Golden Pill Interesting Facts" is written in the form of short stories, divided into three volumes, volume one contains the wonderful alchemy method of Baoling sand, the ascension technique of immortals, the secret of the hair, the secret of the golden pill of the Taishang Holy Ancestor, the secret recipe of alchemy such as the method of making the big dan of the dust grits and the meridian spirit sand method, the second volume contains the secret methods of refining medicinal materials and making pills in the Danfang, and the third volume is the secret of the Yellow Bud Dadan. Several of the recipes for refining sulfur and nitrate are similar to the recipes of gunpowder, which perfectly explains why she can smell the gunpowder of the Fuller Paradise.

Copying books is still quite fast, Zhuo Ruoning has the ability to use several things, and can chat with her sister about gossip while writing hard, and the thin booklet was completed in two days. Zhuo Xiao said that he wanted to use it to make it old, but he turned two pages, and he was fascinated by the little story in it with Zhuo Ruozhen, and after reading it, he couldn't get enough of it, so he copied another copy.

The book is done, and her grandfather's birthday banquet is coming soon, so she has to hurry up and make her glasses, and she has been busy these days, so that she has forgotten all about the loss of love.

Zhuo Ruoning drew the drawings and began to tinker with the horn frames. She sawed the saw blade for a long time, the black horns were thick, and her two thin arms couldn't be sawed at all, so she had to go out to find a craftsman, but fortunately there were elders this time. Hold it, and she doesn't need to worry about the money.

When making the frame, Boss Song of Huaiyufang also sent polished lenses, she measured it with the method of convex lens imaging, and found that the curvature was deviated, the power was a little lower, and the lens was thinner.

Boss Song looked at her and looked at her, a candle and a measuring rope, pulled out the reflection of the candle on the wall, and measured it with a rope, and could judge that the thickness of the lens did not meet the requirements, and I couldn't believe that this method worked.

Zhuo Ruoning explained to him the principle of convex lens imaging, and after Boss Song understood the principle, he admired her so much that he threw himself to the ground.

Boss Song is also a craftsman, and helped to inlay the lenses into the horn frame, and trim the edges and corners.

When his grandfather came back, Zhuo Ruoning took it to him to try it on.

Zhuo Yuan is myopia and presbyopia, and has been plagued by vision problems for decades, and now he has a hard time reading and seeing, and he relies on the scholar to read to him. I didn't expect that the small two crystal lenses actually solved the problem that had plagued them for many years.

Although the degree is not completely suitable, it is better than nothing, Zhuo Yuan is like a treasure, and the next day he happily wore it to the west corner of the Wuying Palace, and the glasses were passed in the hands of his colleagues.

Most of the civil officials who stood with him were forty or fifty years old, most of whom had the problem of presbyopia, and when they saw that he had this treasure, they all gathered around to ask where they bought it.

Zhuo Yuan was afraid of causing trouble for his granddaughter and wanted to prevaricate in the past, but his colleagues did not let him go, and had to ask which store sold it, and it was not until the emperor came that he quieted down.
