"Second Young Master."

Mei Zhigao turned around and saw a guard standing not far behind him, "When did you come?" He said.

"The villain follows you when you go out." The guard bowed and replied.

"Does my eldest sister know that you follow me?"

"You should know."

Mei Zhigao asked, "How do you say that?" ”

The guard scratched his sideburns and said, "Before coming here, the eldest lady ordered that as long as you go out, you must follow a guard. When you went out, Qiulin asked me to follow you. ”

Mei Zhigao thinks about what he said "before", it should be before coming to Ningbo, right?! And not a few hours ago.

Mei Zhigao turned to look at Wanhualou and said, "Let's go back." ”

"Yes."

When Mei Zhigao returned to the Yuelai Inn, Ruoxue and Ruohong were still waiting for him, and they hadn't gone back to sleep yet.

When Ruoxue saw that he had returned, she asked him where he had gone and if he had eaten dinner.

Ruohong looked at him with a smile and said, "It must be going to Hualou, right?" ”

In order to make sure that what she said was right, Ruohong also walked over and pulled up Mei Zhigao's shirt and sniffed it, with a smell of pollen, and then said, "I guessed right, right?" ”

Mei Zhigao's face was a little red, "How do you know?" ”

"Ancient ...... Rich men like to go to Hualou, and the sixth master is a very rich man, and he will definitely go to Hualou to get drunk. Ruohong said eloquently.

She almost said that she was an ancient man, but fortunately she reacted quickly enough not to put herself in an awkward situation.

Mei Zhigao was speechless by her, "Yes, you guessed it." Brother Six took me to ......," he said.

"That's what I'm calling!" Ruohong smiled and quipped again.

Ruoxue watched the two of them talking there, and didn't interrupt them with a word, and at this time, seeing Mei Zhigao, she didn't know what to say, so she said, "Do you remember the house rules?" ”

"Yes."

"Then, write down the twenty boards first, now it's outside, and I'll practice the family law when I get home."

"Got it." Mei Zhigao said.

The next morning, Zheng Hao brought a box and a box more than six inches wide.

Ruohong circled around the box and said, "What's in here?" ”

Mei Zhigao also stood by and watched, guessing what was inside.

"A rarity!"

Zheng Hao said mysteriously.

The box is more than 70 centimeters high and only 50 centimeters wide, and the box is made of logs and is not painted.

"Open it and take a look."

Ruoxue also stood up and looked at it from a distance, this box was not made of mortise and tenon structure, but was put together with slats.

The outside of it is hoopped up with thin wooden strips, which does not look very flat and smooth.

Zheng Hao asked people to open the lid and reveal the cotton wool inside.

Ruohong was even more curious about what kind of thing was inside, and actually used shockproof cotton wool.

She walked over and pulled the cotton wool out, slowly revealing a red wooden spire.

Ruohong's hand paused, then quickly pulled away the filler, and finally she simply put both hands inside.

Ruohong smiled and took out the contents of the house, "It's you, great!" It's you......" As she spoke, she burst into tears.

Dan Tang saw that the young lady was crying, and was about to go up to ask what was wrong, but was stopped by Pomegranate, and shook his head at her and motioned for her not to go.

Everyone in the room looked at Ruohong, who was still laughing before, but the next moment they were crying again.

What's going on?

Ruoxue walked up to her, took out a handkerchief and wiped the tears on her face, and said, "What's the matter, why are you crying?" ”

Ruohong choked twice, "It's okay." ”

Ruohong slowly walked to the edge of the table, slowly put the thing she was holding on it, and looked back and forth two or three times before taking two steps back, so that everyone could see this house-shaped table clock.

Mei Zhigao bent down to look at the circle in the middle and the two pointers inside, "What is this?" He said.

Ruoxue moved her footsteps and looked at this house-shaped thing, there were no doors or windows on it, but there was a circle in front that was recessed inward, and inside was a silver platter with two needles like arrows.

"It's a clock, it's for timekeeping, it's the same as a leak." Ruohong said.

Ruohong went to the box and touched it for a long time, but didn't touch anything, "It's not right! There should be a key! She said.

Zheng Hao looked at Ruohong with strange eyes, he also saw this item for the first time overseas, and he thought it was very special, so he spent a lot of money to buy two of them.

This young lady must have seen this object for the first time, right?

It felt like she'd seen this a long time ago.

When did she meet?

Zheng Hao walked to the table, bent down and reached out to pull out a small drawer an inch wide under the table clock, and took out a special key from it.

"You've seen this thing before?" He said.

"I've seen it...... Seen it in books. She said.

Ruohong reached out and grabbed the key, felt its coolness in her hand, slowly inserted it into a hole in the table clock that no one noticed, and slowly turned the key twice.

I heard a "click, click" sound from the table clock.

Ruohong cheered, she had traveled here for almost half a year, and the one thing she wanted most was a clock.

It's so sad to live without a clock!

It's a mess all day long, living a life without time, and I feel like I've lost a hundred million things.

Ruoxue asked, "How much silver does this cost?" ”

Zheng Hao looked at Ruohong, who was a little weird, turned to look at Ruoxue and said, "Eighteen thousand taels, do you want it?" ”

"Yes."

"So expensive?!"

Ruohong looked at the table clock, her heart sank, and she turned her head to look at Ruoxue and smiled and said, "It's too expensive, forget it." ”

Ruoxue looked at her and smiled dotingly, "As long as you like it, no matter how expensive it is...... she said.

Mei Zhigao looked at the box and asked, "What is that?" ”

Ruohong squatted in front of the clock, counting the clicking sound inside, and watched the minute hand walk slowly.

"Third sister, what do you think this is?"

Mei Zhigao was on the other side of the table, holding something in his hand for Ruohong to see.

Ruohong raised her head and glanced at it, and her eyes widened.

"Pistol!"

Mei Zhigao was holding a pistol, a pistol full of jewels and gold.

Ruohong took it from his hand, and it was so heavy that she raised it high and made an aiming motion.

Zheng Hao looked at her in surprise and said, "You also know this?" ”

Ruohong turned her head to look at Zheng Hao, and said with a smile: "It's written in the book, but this one is more beautiful!" ”

Mei Zhigao looked at Ruohong's eyes with envy, envy of the book she read, why didn't he see such a book!

"What is this pistol for?"

"For killing."
