Perhaps because today I am going to entertain guests in the garden, and the pavilion is lined with tea and delicate pastries.

"Look at it, this Dingguo Mansion is really powerful now." Si Yunting looked at Ruan, who was surrounded by everyone, and said.

Since last year, when Dingguo led the army to quell the bandits in Shandong, he has been highly valued by His Majesty, because he has not only pacified the bandits in Shandong, but also brought back three mines for His Majesty, all of which are coal mines.

There are not many coal mines that have been excavated in Dazheng, but nearly three-quarters of them are used every year to smelt weapons, and although there are coal mines, the people still freeze to death every year.

But after the last year Dingguo Gong returned the three mines, last winter, more than half of the people froze to death, and this was partly due to the complete exploitation of the coal mines.

These three mines were originally places where bandits occupied the mountains and were kings, and most of those bandits were uninformed outlaws, where did they know what a treasure was.

Even if the great treasure was placed in front of them, no one would recognize it for what it really was.

So although there are still many people who can't even afford coal, it is enough comfort for Emperor Jianzhang.

After all, no one wants to listen to the snow disaster every winter, and how many people freeze to death, and this time it was finally a good winter.

"What, regret it?" If you don't look at Cao Junjie's character, but from the perspective of the family, his identity is really good, thinking of this, Si Ning shook his head in his heart.

Forget it, marriage is a woman's second life, if you entrust yourself to an unreliable person so easily, the rest of your life is so long, how to spend it.

"Go, you're deliberately laughing at me again." Si Yunting pouted and pushed her, "If you do this again, I won't play with you next time."

"Okay, I won't tease you."

"By the way, I heard that Si Yunlan is back." Although he said that he didn't care about Yinchuan's affairs, in fact, Si Ning still cared in his heart.

Si Yunting shrugged the tip of her nose unhappily, "Don't mention it, he didn't bring me a gift when he came back from Yinchuan.

Except for the day he came back, the family had a meal together, and they never saw each other again, and he went out early and returned late every day, just a small servant of the criminal department, who seemed to be busier than the prime minister of the dynasty."

Speaking of this, Si Yunting was quite resentful in his heart, obviously he promised that he would definitely bring a gift back when he came back, but as a result, if there was no gift, he didn't even see each other.

Thinking like this, Si Yunting glanced at A-Niang who was surrounded in the crowd, her eyes were slightly red, he might as well not come back this time, and let A-Niang worry about it every day.

"Punishment Department Squire?" Si Ning's eyebrows furrowed slightly, she remembered that in her previous life, after Si Yunlan came back from Yinchuan, she went directly to the Ministry of Officials, what happened that made everything different.

"That's right, the original Criminal Department Shangshu just happened to be a member this year, and there was a vacancy, Li Su was promoted by one level, and now he is the youngest Criminal Department Shangshu.

My brother also picked up his shortcomings, and now he has become a waiter in the Criminal Department."

Speaking of this, Si Yunting was still a little proud in her heart, although Li Su was a young talent, her brother was obviously not bad.

After listening to Si Yunting's words, Si Ning suddenly realized, it turned out that this was the case, the fact that someone had embezzled the construction funds of the Yellow River Dam in his previous life had not been exposed, and no one had ever known that there were spies buried in the shadows of Yinchuan.

So Li Su did not rise as fast as he does now, at that time, although he was also valued by Emperor Jianzhang, but it was not very special, the only thing that was special was that he later became the husband of His Majesty's favorite niece.

After that, Emperor Jianzhang loved Wu and Wu, so he naturally treated him better, but the people around him, whether it was the people or the officials, privately ridiculed Li Suneng for being so favored by the emperor at a young age, and all he relied on was His Majesty's preference, as for why this was so, it was naturally because he married His Majesty's favorite niece.

Si Ning suddenly felt a little dazed when she thought of this, and she suddenly had some doubts about whether those memories that only existed in her mind were just a Zhuang Gong Dream Butterfly.

Si Yunting noticed Si Ning's strange appearance and asked, "A-Ning, you haven't released it yet

Let's go down to Li Su?"

"Why, you know me, what you say always counts." Si Ning soon came to her senses, she would not let herself indulge in the irretrievable past, and now, she still had time.

The garden of the Dingguo Mansion is too big, Si Ning and the others have been talking in the pavilion for a long time, and the high-ranking ladies outside have just turned around, and just when Si Ning thought they would stop, they entered the rockery.

To say that the garden of this Dingguo Mansion is indeed peculiar, there is a particularly large rockery in the middle, if you want to leave from the garden, there are only two roads, one is to return the original way, and the other is to bypass the rockery.

"Let's go along." Si Ning opened his mouth and said, otherwise they would know where to find them in a while.

"Okay, let's go." Si Yunting obviously thought the same thing, "I don't know what the people in this Dingguo Mansion think, putting such a big rockery in the garden."

Si Ning looked up at the rockery in front of him, it was indeed big, the rockery was very high, and people in it could not see the slightest shadow in the outside world, and they could not detect the slightest clue.

But when I went in, I found that it was not dark inside.

"Why is it so bright in here?"

Now that the sun is just not directly above, it stands to reason that it is impossible for the sun to shine into the rockery, how can there be a feeling of brightness as day.

Si Ning also felt very weird, so he stopped to observe the rockery carefully, in this small place, if you want to make some fame, in addition to the rockery, it is on the ground.

"I see." Si Ning groped for a hole in the rockery, not big, but not small, about the size of a grape.

"How?" Si Yunting was also very curious, and Dew Drop and Tian Zao, who were following behind them, heard what Miss/County Lord had said, and they all looked at Si Ning with eyes full of curiosity.

It was the first time that Si Ning had been looked at like this, as if she was so smart and amazing, although Si Ning knew that she was not a smart person, but she was still tickled by this straightforward trust.

"Look at this." Si Ning pointed to the hole he had just discovered and said, "There are many such small holes in this rockery, and there is fluorite here, and there is also a layer of breathable and light-transmitting gauze similar to the rockery hidden outside.

Fluorite absorbs the sun's light and emits its own light, and the fluorite light is softer through the gauze, so it becomes what we see today."

After Si Ning finished speaking, she suddenly felt quite proud, she suppressed the smile on the corner of her mouth, very good, she is so smart.

Si Yunting touched the fluorite inside through the gauze, and looked at Si Ning with a look of amazement, "That's really the case, A-Ning, you're really amazing."
