Chapter 225: Observation in the Dark Room
Tang Zhengqi was angry, but he was an experienced man after all, and he always felt that Su Shengsheng was holding back on some big move.
She anticipated the enemy's move and had already built a transit station.
When spending such a huge amount of money, you should have considered the possibility of not being able to turn back.
He wanted to ask what exactly was going on in the auction that she wanted them to spread?
Could it be that the business of turning air into gold is also being sold?
But Su Shengsheng didn't want to say it, and he knew he couldn't ask it, so he could only open his eyes and wait for the knife.
In the end, either they will get stabbed or someone else will get stabbed.
But this time, I’m afraid even a hundred knives won’t be enough.
This line cannot be circumvented, but wired telegraph is still easy.
At worst, I won’t earn this little bit of money.
But the electric wires could not be laid, and since the imperial court would not lay natural gas pipelines, they could not bypass the imperial court.
Without natural gas, tillage machines cannot operate.
If the tillage machine cannot operate, it cannot quickly cover the surrounding area.
In short, the speed is much slower.
Although the situation in many places is better than that in the Tianqian Pass, there is no need to open up new land and dig downwards.
But if we want to harvest two crops a year, it’s too stressful…
Shan Shang's idea is good, but we can't draw a circle from the southern border and surround the northern border from both sides of the outer border, right?
But if you look at the layout diagram that Su Shengsheng gave me, you won’t have to go around it if you can’t.
Just like flying a flag, I went to the next place...
Is this a detour or not?
Several people looked at each other, none of them could understand Su Shengsheng's plan.
But since she had no intention of explaining, and they were now in the same boat, they could only shut up and do as she said.
…
Su Shengsheng has endless meetings to attend, but Xie Xuan has much more free time.
While waiting for Su Shengsheng to come back, Xie Xuan was fiddling with the parts placed in her tea room.
I was bored, so I took it apart, and later I couldn't put it back together.
When I heard footsteps, I thought it was Su Shengsheng coming back.
Xie Xuan hurriedly threw the pile of broken parts in his hand into the box in the tea room.
But he saw that it was Qing Ning who brought the tea, not Su Shengsheng.
Xie Xuan breathed a sigh of relief. Just as he took the parts out of the box, he unexpectedly saw the letter that had been collected inside.
The three eye-catching words "Ji Yanli" on it made Xie Xuan's face darken.
Qing Ning followed Xie Xuan's gaze and her expression changed slightly.
It’s broken. Why didn’t you tell the lady to put it away?
A few days after receiving Mr. Ji's letter of safety, she gave it to the young lady.
I didn't expect that the lady would put it there so openly.
Recently, the young lady has been busy and has not been home. Many times, General Xie has come to arrest her personally...
Ahem…
Come and take the young lady back home.
The young lady was never allowed to keep anything in her room.
General Xie often comes here, how could she forget to remind the young lady?
Green lemon is holding a cup of tea, it is not right to put it in, nor is it right not to put it in.
After hesitating for a long time, seeing that Xie Xuan's face was really ugly, he whispered: "This was sent before the New Year..."
At that time, Master Ji didn't know about the withdrawal of his confidants.
But it is very troublesome to explain this.
Qing Ning was hesitating when she saw Xie Xuan waving his hand.
After marrying Mu Ze, although she had more opportunities to see Xie Xuan, she also knew very well that General Xie had never been kind to anyone except her young lady.
Seeing Xie Xuan's gloomy face this time, she felt worried.
After Qingning put down the tea, she walked out and went to find Su Shengsheng.
Xie Xuan stared at the letter intently, and finally reached out to take it out.
When he was about to open it in anger, he found it was sealed...
She... didn't even look at it?
At that moment, Xie Xuan's heart, which had fallen to the bottom of the valley, bounced back up again.
He held the letter up to the sunlight twice, but couldn't make out what was written on it. He just felt it was very thick.
In the end, Xie Xuan threw the letter back into the box.
But my mind was so confused that I had no intention of restoring the parts.
He walked slowly around the house twice, his eyes fixed on the dark room he had never entered again.
After glancing at the various ornaments on the table, Xie Xuan couldn't help but be curious and slowly opened the secret room.
But when the mezzanine door was completely opened, Xie Xuan, who was a little nervous, suddenly froze between his brows.
At that moment, he felt a chill all over his body.
Even when he had narrowly escaped death on the battlefield, he had never felt as cold as he did at this moment.
There was nothing in the dark room.
Even the desks and bookshelves are gone...
At that moment, Xie Xuan felt indescribable sadness in his heart.
The place she didn't allow him to enter was the place she had never intended to open to him...
…
When Su Shengsheng came out of the reception room, she saw Qing Ning waiting there with a panicked look on her face.
Knowing that it was Xie Xuan who saw the letter, Su Shengsheng didn't say anything.
"Miss, I just heard that the shop is going to Liuzhou... The old man of the Ji family is also there. Do you want to talk to General Xie about this..."
Ever since Old Master Su went to withdraw his confidant last time, Old Master Ji has never responded.
I don't know if the letter was withheld by Master Ji's mother...
She didn't want this to cause any misunderstandings. Su Shengsheng didn't say much, "It's normal business in Liuzhou. There's no need to inform General Xie. Fortunately, you reminded me that I rarely talk to my grandfather. I'll let them take it out separately later."
After Su Shengsheng finished explaining things to a few shopkeepers who were going to Liuzhou, she returned to the tea room and saw Xie Xuan looking at her coldly.
He looked quite chilly.
She didn't even look at it.
He was so obedient that he didn't take it out to look at it?
Su Shengsheng didn't believe that someone who claimed to be very strong-willed but ended up going to sleep on the couch could bear not to watch.
I ignored his cold face and packed my things.
But when she saw the dark line connecting to the dark room falling to the ground, a corner of her heart still trembled slightly.
He finally doubted her...
Su Shengsheng didn't avoid it and looked directly at him, "Is there anything you want to ask?"
Xie Xuan sat on the chair and gave her a dark look.
This is Su Shengsheng's private territory. The tables and chairs are all custom-made according to her height.
Xie Xuan was much taller than her, and being confined to a chair that was slightly smaller than her made him feel like a trapped animal.
His eyes were cold, "Do you have anything to say?"
Well, I want to fight her back.
When it comes to moon-viewing, the introduction of telescopes has not yet caused much stir.
This is because the people of this dynasty had no idea about astronomy.
Some people suspect that the store is cheating and deceiving people.
Some were skeptical, feeling that they couldn't see clearly enough and that there must be other people in there.
Others just come to watch the fun and don't care about anything else.
But this is only temporary. Once they can use astronomy to discover the laws of nature, the imperial crown will no longer be important.
She said nothing, just let them discover it on their own.
But one day, people will doubt her words and actions just as they doubted that Einstein was an alien.
Xie Xuan was lying next to her, so it was normal that he discovered it earlier.
What stands between them is more than just a difference in values.
And once he started to investigate her, the fragile balance between them would be broken.
