Because she got up early in the morning, she had tossed for most of the day from entering the palace to now, Jiang Shu felt tired and sleepy, and after applying the medicine, she explained that she didn't eat dinner, and asked her not to come to disturb her if she had nothing to do, and walked to the nearby bed and lay down.

When he woke up again, it was already dark outside, Jiang Shu sat up with his sore body, and saw that the chiming clock on the dressing table in front of him showed that it was already the first moment, and he felt that he was delaying any longer, Ye Xianggao might have rested, hurriedly put on his shoes and got out of bed, simply straightened the wrinkled skirt on his body, picked up the chiming bell, and strode outside.

Under the bright moonlight at night, he hurriedly walked to the door of the Wantian Hall where Ye Xianggao lived, Jiang Shu took out a hand, pushed open the hidden courtyard door and walked in, and saw that in addition to the lanterns hanging on the eaves of the porch, only the light in the study was on, guessing that he might be inside, and walked over.

At this time, Ye Xianggao, who had already withdrawn his official robe and changed into casual clothes, was standing with his back to the open door, silently looking at the brightly colored beauty You Chun picture opposite, with a bit of loneliness on his tall back.

Jiang Shu knew that he was thinking about his titular mother Yu again, and his heart couldn't help but feel a little sour, but in order not to make him even more sad, he didn't break it in the end, raised his foot and stepped into the threshold, and said loudly: "Dad-"

Ye Xianggao's body shook when he heard this, he rolled up his sleeves and wiped his eyes, before he slowly turned around, looked at her gently, and said, "It's so late, why did the four girls come over?" ”

Jiang Shu took a few steps inside, raised the chiming bell in his hand at him, and said with a faint smile: "Shu'er wants to invite my father to bring this to the Queen Mother when he enters the palace tomorrow." ”

"Striking bells?" Through the bright candlelight in the room, seeing the specific shape of the thing in her hand, Ye Xianggao couldn't help but be a little surprised, "How can you have this thing?" ”

When he came back from Hunan, the limelight that Zhu Changxun sent to Jiang Shu had already passed, and no one in the house had mentioned this matter in front of him, so he didn't know the reason.

"It was sent by King Fu a few days ago," Jiang Shu said with a slight expression, "I said that I bought it from a foreigner named Matteo Ricci." Does Daddy recognize it? ”

Ye Xianggao glanced at the chiming bell again, nodded slowly, and said with some puzzlement: "Since it was given to you by King Fu, then why did you want me to bring it into the palace for the Queen Mother?" ”

"Naturally, the Queen Mother wants it," Jiang Shu smiled helplessly, "When I entered the palace for a banquet today, someone mentioned this thing in front of the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother was very curious about it, knowing that I had one in my hand, let me send it to the palace for her to see, I think it would be better to give it to her, and it would be better to accept personal favors." ”

"King Fu gave you such a rare thing, and he also has a heart, you better keep it," Ye Xianggao said disapprovingly, "Just send it out like this, wouldn't it be a disappointment to his heart." ”

"But I have already promised the Queen Mother to let my father bring her over when he enters the palace tomorrow, I'm afraid it's not appropriate, right?" A look of embarrassment appeared on Jiang Shu's face.

To be honest, although she despised this thing, and felt that it was not a grade or two worse than those modern clocks and watches, it was indeed much more convenient to have it by her side than a sundial or hourglass.

"Don't worry, dad has a way," Ye Xianggao raised his hand and patted her shoulder, walked to a yellow rosewood top cabinet placed against the wall nearby, raised his hand to open the door of the cabinet on the left side of the upper floor, took out a transparent cover buckled utensils from inside, and raised it to her, "Four girls, look." ”

"Striking bells?" Looking at the object that was similar to the object in his hand, Jiang Shu was a little shocked, "How can my father have this thing?" ”
