Chapter 131 The Missing Sun
Chapter 131 The Missing Sun
A moment later, the carriage stopped in front of Ding Mao's yard. Yaoguang directly handed Zhang Qi to Ding Mao and asked him to take care of him.
Ding Mao stared at Zhang Qi's clothes with eyes wide open: "Girl, this is the..." eunuch from the palace?
Ding Mao kept the last two words in his throat and did not utter them out loud.
Zhang Qi stepped forward cautiously and bowed to Ding Mao, "Greetings, sir."
"You can take him to work in the store from now on. He needs a place to stay." Yaoguang said concisely and left after saying this.
In the deep night with gusty cold winds, the two watched Yaoguang's carriage gradually disappear into the dark night under the dim light.
Ding Mao turned around and asked tentatively, "Sir, how about I find you some clothes first?"
"It's all up to you, sir!" Zhang Qi said respectfully.
"Don't call me Young Master, I'm just a commoner." Ding Mao waved his hands quickly. He had lived for so many years, but this was the first time he was addressed with such respect, not to mention that this person was from the palace. These were things Ding Mao had never dared to think about before.
He took a look at Zhang Qi's body and felt that the young eunuch was extremely thin. He estimated that the clothes he wore a few years ago might not be of good use. Thinking of this, Ding Mao buried his head in looking for clothes.
Zhang Qi was left with Ding Mao, working for him to make a living.
The palace delivered Zhang Qi's things the next day. Yaoguang handed them directly to the servants in the mansion and passed them to Zhang Qi.
As for the two ores and flowers that Yaoguang brought back from the palace, the ores were not very useful.
The main thing is that the flowers are nice, white balls of cotton. Although they are dead branches, there are still cotton seeds on them. After a little processing, you can plant cotton next year.
Yaoguang picked the cotton seeds and put them in a box, and put the cotton aside.
She remembered that in the course of human civilization, there was a long period of no communication between people, and the crops and plants in different places were different.
After exchanging crops with each other, they solved part of the problem of food and clothing.
However, the goal of fully achieving food and clothing has not been achieved in this technologically prosperous era, not even during the great prosperous period before human extinction.
The main reason for the lack of communication is the long distances that make it impossible to reach each other on foot. In addition, the overly primitive natural environment and unfamiliar areas put a special test on people's survival ability.
If it were her, she would probably collect the things faster and help her uncle achieve his ideal goal.
Thinking of this, Yaoguang thought of the aircraft she had not yet finished. She had already finished the outer shell, but now she was short of some fuel. Liquid fuel was a little difficult to find, so she planned to use electricity instead.
Regarding the battery part, Yaoguang still has a lot of unfinished areas.
Due to the limitations of the times and materials, and the fact that it was her first time doing it, it was not easy to make a battery that could support an aircraft for long-term voyage.
There have also been some major glitches, such as the battery exploding.
Fortunately, her mental strength was strong enough to directly wrap the exploding battery and prevent the laboratory from collapsing.
So she had to go to the laboratory more often and try to make the battery.
With the support of a number of wealthy families in the capital, the people outside the city survived the winter safely.
Although several people died, the cause of death was not freezing to death due to the snowstorm, but rather hunting in the mountains or falling into glaciers. The emperor was very satisfied with this and began to look forward to the next year.
When the snow is about to melt, it is time to start preparing for spring ploughing.
When Wei Qichen was busy, he almost lived in the government office. Yaoguang went to the laboratory during the day and took time to write agricultural books for Wei Qichen at night.
In addition to basic planting knowledge, Yaoguang even wrote some emergency requirements for extreme weather and unexpected situations.
The more he learned, the busier Wei Qichen became! Even Wei Shiyuan became busy, saying that she wanted to go to the farm outside to practice farming.
In this way, it seemed that Sun was the only one left in the house again.
Watching her granddaughter busying about, and then looking at herself doing nothing, Mrs. Sun suddenly disappeared.
"What? When did my aunt leave?" After Yaoguang came back, she heard the news of Sun's disappearance and her face was full of disbelief.
The maids looked at each other, and I saw that you couldn't explain what was going on. Sun usually didn't allow them to be around to take care of the children, so they had no choice.
When it was time for lunch today, they still hadn't seen Sun, so they became extremely anxious. They wanted to look for Yaoguang but couldn't find her, and they couldn't get into Wei Qichen's yamen either.
It has been delayed until now.
However, the servant guarding the gate knew something and was aware that Sun left after breakfast.
After breakfast, she left shortly afterwards.
After asking about the direction Sun left, Yaoguang immediately ran out to look for her.
She cast her mental net over the street, searching quickly as she ran.
Passersby walking on the road could not see any trace of Yaoguang. It felt like a gust of wind blew past, blowing a piece of clothing far away.
Some even thought that a big rat had appeared in the capital and was running away so fast.
Yaoguang searched the capital as quickly as possible and finally found Sun in the inn that Qiao Xun had left.
There was also a Zhu Luo following beside Sun, comforting her.
"Don't worry, old lady. Brother Qiao is such a good person, God will bless him... It's getting late, you should go back quickly, so as not to worry your family." Zhu Luo said, and then urged Sun.
The two of them sat in the room where Qiao Xun once lived.
Knowing that her aunt was safe and sound, Yaoguang did not rush in. She just stood outside and listened to the noise inside.
She always thought that giving her aunt what she wanted was the best, but her aunt was still unhappy. What should she do?
Yaoguang couldn't think of an answer, so she stood outside and listened.
"Xun'er can't come back, and Yaoguang is busy! I want to go home..." Sun murmured.
Zhu Luo didn't hear it clearly, and didn't dare to ask Sun to repeat it. She just comforted her cheerfully: "Old Madam, if you don't want to go back, you can stay with me for a few days. I'll take you to visit the capital. These days, many places in the capital are blooming with flowers, and the scenery is beautiful..."
Sun didn't listen to what Zhu Luo said, but she was very worried. When she looked up again, she suddenly noticed the sky outside and stood up hurriedly.
"Oh no, why is it so late? Is Yaoguang coming back? I'll be worried if Yaoguang comes back. I have to go back..."
"Madam, I'll take you there." Zhu Luo said enthusiastically.
When the two walked out of the inn, Yaoguang had been hiding outside and did not show up.
She knew that if she appeared directly in front of her aunt, it would make her even more worried.
There are two solutions. One is to find my cousin, and the other is to take my aunt back to visit.
The first one is better, and the second one can be done with some effort.
