Chapter 40: The Gambling Contract

Zhuang Younan's wing room was chosen very partially, as if he deliberately wanted to stay away from them.

I don't know what flowers are planted around the wing, Lin Zhiyu pushed the door in, but saw that the living utensils in the wingroom were all available, and there were two or three idle books scattered on the desk, which didn't look like they were temporarily sorted out.

Zhuang Younan leaned on the side of the bed, took off the hairpin ring jewelry, left only a plain wooden hairpin on his head, and was idly flipping through a book in his hand.

Feeling that someone was coming in, Zhuang Younan stopped what he was doing, looked up and met Lin Zhiyu with a slightly surprised look, as if he saw her doubts, and explained softly: "When I feel annoyed in my heart, I take advantage of my bad body to come out and breathe." ”

Lin Zhiyu caught a glimpse of the half-used pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the table, the ink strip leaned diagonally on the edge of the inkstone, and the jet-black ink slowly flowed down the ink strip.

"Concubine Jia still copies the scriptures?"

The words on the paper were only half written, and Lin Zhiyu lowered his head and unconsciously read out the half of the sentence.

"All appearances are vain?"

She has never believed in gods and Buddhas.

When she was still in the cold palace, she also prayed with her hands folded.

But so what? The demons still don't get their due.

Zhuang Younan got up slowly and walked slowly towards Lin Zhiyu: "If you see things that are not the same, then you will see them as they are." ”

Lin Zhiyu was even more puzzled, Zhuang Younan called her here just to say this?

She didn't know the scriptures, so she didn't know what it meant.

"Lin Zhiyu, I have always liked you very much, and when I first saw you before, I felt that you were very different."

Zhuang Younan's voice was very good, low, with a little coldness, but it was different from Lin Minghua's weakness, as if there was something more.

If you don't know her, no one will know that she was born in a family of military generals like Jiang Wanning.

"So I'm going to make a bet with you."

"Bet?"

Lin Zhiyu repeated.

She noticed that when Zhuang Younan spoke to her, he didn't use "Bengong", but "I".

Is this a psychological measure?

Starting with a change of title, do you want to get closer to her?

"yes, bet." Zhuang Younan looked at Lin Zhiyu's eyes steadily.

Lin Zhiyu suddenly laughed, like a joke between sisters: "Since Concubine Jia said that she wanted to bet with me, what should she bet on?" And what is the stake? ”

"Xu Jiu'er's life."

"What?"

Lin Zhi's words were silent, and his expression gradually became serious.

In this era, being bitten by a five-step snake, most of them are unable to return to the sky, Xu Jiu'er's current situation is just because it was handled in a timely manner, and there were palace people to serve him, which slowed down the speed of the toxin flowing in the blood.

Now listening to Zhuang Younan's words, Lin Zhiyu seems to see a glimmer of hope.

"I've been dealing with medicinal herbs for many years, and I've seen all kinds of strange recipes." Zhuang Younan still maintained that smile on his face, but it always made people feel intimate, "Many years ago, there was also a person who was bitten by a five-step snake, but she is still alive and well." ”

"If you win, I'll give it to you."

Lin Zhiyu felt that Zhuang Younan was too unpredictable.

She is a modern person, with such a high level of medical care, and if she is bitten by a five-step snake and not treated in time, she will face the risk of amputation, and in severe cases, she will also die.

Seeing that Lin Zhiyu hesitated and didn't speak, Zhuang Younan flicked the paper on the desk twice and said, "If you don't want to agree, I won't force it." ”

"No, I promise."

Zhuang Younan didn't look like he would lie to her, not to mention that Lin Zhiyu felt that he had nothing to be fooled.

"So there's a bet, what are we betting on?"

Zhuang Younan looked mysterious: "You'll know when the time comes." ”

"What do you mean? What does it mean to know when the time comes? Lin Zhiyu was a little angry, she could afford to wait, but Xu Jiu'er couldn't afford to wait.

But the other party walked straight back to the bedside and said coldly: "Bao'er, send off." ”

Bao'er came in with a medicine bowl, put the plate down on the table, and turned to Lin Zhiyu: "Big girl, please." ”

Lin Zhiyu only felt that his brain was a mess, and he couldn't straighten it out.

Among these people, the most unfamiliar person is Zhuang Younan.

Now that he suddenly intervenes for no reason, it will inevitably make people suspicious.

But for the sake of Xu Jiu'er, she was willing to give it a try.

When she was about to reach the wing, Bao'er suddenly stopped.

"The eldest girl may still have someone to see, so the slave and maid will not send it."

Before Lin Zhiyu could react, Bao'er saluted herself and turned to leave.

It's as if I did forget something.

She looked around and found herself standing at a crossroads, and to the left, there was the peach forest on the mountain behind Cheng'en Temple.

Zhou Zijin!

Lin Zhiyu slapped his head, walked back to the wing room quickly, took the chain mail, and hurried over.

Peach Grove.

Zhou Zijin saw a woman in a pink palace dress running towards him panting, and he was relieved, put down the teacup in his hand, and got up to greet him.

"Why are you in such a hurry?" Zhou Zijin habitually went to pick up the burden on Lin Zhiyu's hand, but his palm sank suddenly, "This is what you said, what you want to bring me?" ”

"Take a look." Lin Zhiyu's little face turned red, urging Zhou Zijin to open the package.

Zhou Zijin didn't know why, and when he saw what was in the baggage, his face was even more puzzled.

"...... this?"

"Chain mail, with it, ordinary bows and arrows can't hurt you at all." Lin Zhiyu smiled, and then seemed to remember something, his expression was a little lonely, "If there is a waterproof fabric, maybe I can make it lighter." ”

Zhou Zijin's eyes rose with joy: "There is such a good thing?" If it's energy-producing, that's great. ”

"Mass production?" Lin Zhiyu's eyes flashed, "Maybe it's a good thing, but this thing is troublesome to do, maybe you can give it a try to your own people first." ”

Zhou Zijin has her own secret guard, she knows it in her heart.

"This thing is really complicated, you made it yourself?" Zhou Zijin seemed to think of something, and looked up at Lin Zhiyu.

For no reason, Lin Zhiyu felt a little empty in his heart.

There's a feeling of being out to play by myself and not reporting to the object.。

"That's not it, I just studied a drawing, and then asked Zhuang Shaosi of the Ordnance Supervisor to do it."

"Zhuang Xiao is still young, but he can make this thing according to the drawings you gave, maybe it is a material that can be made." Zhou Zijin was thoughtful.

Speaking of Zhuang Xiao, Lin Zhiyu couldn't help but think of Zhuang Younan's words just now.

"How much do you know about Concubine Jia?"

Zhou Zijin didn't expect her to suddenly bring up this stubble, so he was slightly stunned for a moment, and said, "Is that Zhuang Younan?" ”

Lin Zhiyu nodded.

"She's a lunatic, it's better not to come into contact with her."
