Chapter 87 Fluorite in the rockery

Maybe it's because I have to entertain guests in the garden today, and there are tea and exquisite pastries in the pavilion.

"Look, the Dingguo Palace is really powerful now." Si Yunting looked at the Ruan family surrounded by everyone and said.

Ever since Ding Guogong led the army to quell the banditry in Shandong last year, he has been highly valued by His Majesty, because he not only quelled the banditry in Shandong, but also brought back three mines for His Majesty, all of which are coal mines.

Not many coal mines were discovered in Dazheng, but nearly three-quarters of them were used to smelt weapons every year. Although there were coal mines, people still froze to death every year.

However, after Dingguogong returned the three mines last year, most of the people who froze to death last winter were reduced. This was partly because the coal mines were fully exploited.

These three mines are originally places where gangsters dominate the mountains. Most of those gangsters are ignorant desperadoes who don't know what treasures are.

Even though this big treasure was placed in front of them, no one recognized its true identity.

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

After all, no one wants to hear about another snowstorm every winter, killing countless people from the cold. This time we finally had a good winter.

"Why, do you regret it?" If you don't look at Cao Junjie's character, but from a family perspective, his status is indeed good. Thinking of this, Si Ning shook his head in his heart.

Forget it, getting married is a woman's second life. If you entrust yourself to an unreliable person so easily, how will you spend the rest of your life?

"Go, you are 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 anymore."

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

Si Yunting shrugged her nose unhappily, "Forget it, just forget it he didn't bring me a gift when he came back from Yinchuan.

He has been busy since he came back. Except for the day he came back, the family had a meal together, and he has never been seen since. He leaves early and comes home late every day. He is just a small minister of the Ministry of Justice. Look Going up there is even busier than being the prime minister of the dynasty."

Speaking of this, Si Yunting felt a lot of resentment in her heart. He had promised her that he would definitely bring her a gift when he came back, but in the end, there was no gift, and she didn't even meet him twice.

Thinking like this, Si Yunting glanced at her mother-in-law who was surrounded by the crowd, her eyes were slightly red, it would be better not to come back if he comes back this time, because he worries her every day.

"Minister of the Ministry of Justice?" Si Ning frowned slightly. She remembered that in her previous life, Si Yunlan went directly to the Ministry of Personnel after returning from Yinchuan. What happened that made everything different?

"Yes, the original Minister of the Ministry of Justice just took office this year, and when the vacancy became available, Li Su was promoted one level and is now the youngest Minister of the Ministry of Justice.

My brother also picked up where he left off and is now the minister of punishment."

Speaking of this matter, Si Yunting was still a little proud. Although Li Su was a young talent, her brother was obviously not bad either.

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

Therefore, Li Su did not rise as quickly as he does now. At that time, although he was also valued by Emperor Jianzhang, he 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 Wujiwu, so he naturally treated him better. However, people around him, both common people and officials, privately laughed at Li Suneng for being so favored by the emperor at such a young age. All he relied on was His Majesty's preference. As for why

This is naturally because he married His Majesty's most beloved niece.

Si Ning was suddenly in a trance when she thought of this. She suddenly doubted whether those memories that only existed in her mind were just a dream of Duke Zhuang.

Si Yunting noticed something strange about Si Ning and asked, "A Ning, haven't you let go of Li Su yet?"

"How could it be? You know what I said always counts." Si Ning quickly came to her senses. She would not let herself indulge in the irreparable past. Now, she still has time.

The garden of Duke Dingguo's mansion was so big that Si Ning and the others had been talking in the pavilion for a long time. The female relatives of the high-ranking families outside had just walked around in a circle. Just when Si Ning thought they would stop, they

Entered the rockery.

The garden of Duke Dingguo's Mansion is indeed unique. There is a particularly large rockery in the middle. If you want to leave the garden, there are only two ways, one is to return the same way, and the other is to go around the rockery.

"Let's follow them too," Si Ning said, otherwise they wouldn't know where to look for them later.

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

Si Ning raised his head and looked at the rockery in front of him. It was indeed big and very high. People inside it could not see any shadow or clue to the outside world.

But after entering, I found that it was not dark inside.

"Why is it so bright in here?"

Now that the sun is not directly overhead, logically speaking, it is impossible for sunlight to shine into the rockery, so how can it feel as bright as day?

Si Ning also felt it was strange, so he stopped and looked at the rockery carefully. In this small place, if you want to do something interesting, besides the rockery, you have to do it on the ground.

"So that's it." Si Ning groped for a hole on the rockery. It was not big, but not small either. It was about the size of a grape.

"How?" Si Yunting was also curious. Luzhu and Tian Zao who were following them also looked at Si Ning with eyes full of curiosity after hearing what the lady/princess said.

This was the first time that Si Ning was looked at like this, as if she was smart and amazing. Although Si Ning knew that she was not a smart person, she still felt itchy at the straightforward trust.

"Look at this." Si Ning pointed to the hole he just discovered. "There are many small holes like this on this rockery. Here are fluorite. There are also a few hidden holes similar to the rockery covered outside.

Breathable and light-transmitting gauze.

Fluorite absorbs the light of the sun and emits light by itself. The light of fluorite is softer through the gauze, so it becomes what we see today."

After Si Ning said this, she suddenly felt quite proud. She suppressed the smile at the corner of her mouth, "Very good, you are so smart."

Si Yunting touched the fluorite inside through the gauze, and looked at Si Ning in amazement, "It's really like this, An Ning, you are so amazing."
