Chapter 225 Earthquake



The Princess's Mansion.

Originally, the eldest princess felt a little guilty and wanted to avoid her daughter, saying that she was too tired today.

But the young county lady took Zhao Hao's words too seriously and insisted on seeing her mother.

Then the brother and sister forced her to spend the night outside without any explanation.

There have been frequent earthquakes in Beijing over the past decade, and every family has experience in this regard. The Princess's Mansion is even equipped with a full set of equipment for camping, so everything can be prepared at the command of a single order.

After Li Chengen fell asleep in the tent, the mother and daughter wrapped themselves in a quilt and sat on the open lawn, looking at the moon and chatting privately.

In fact, it was mainly the eldest princess who was listening as Li Mingyue excitedly described what happened in heaven.

"Mingyue." After the county lady finished her chatter, the princess asked tentatively, "Look down from the sky, can you see clearly?"

"It's clear, that is, people become as small as ants, and trees become grass." Li Mingyue said in disbelief, "But we can see as far as the West Mountain."

"Oh, so it means that we can't see clearly what the people on the ground look like?" The eldest princess breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yeah, I can't see clearly." Li Mingyue nodded and said, "Except when taking off and landing."

As she spoke, she couldn't help but chuckle and said, "When we took off, we could see everything inside Diaoyutai very clearly. I even saw my mother's carriage."

"Uh..." The princess' heart tightened, and she asked in a trembling voice, "What else did you see?"

"I still see mother." Li Mingyue said with a giggle.

"Ah!" The princess thought to herself, there was no chance of success, so she decided to tell the truth.

But my daughter stuck out her tongue and made a face, saying, "No way! I was so excited when it took off that I didn't see anything at all."

"Oh, then how do you know my carriage?" The eldest princess was stunned by her daughter's intimidation.

"Ah? So mom really went to Diaoyutai?" Li Mingyue giggled, got into her mother's arms, adjusted herself to a comfortable position and said, "I was just kidding mom, I didn't see anything, um, absolutely..."

After saying this, he fell into a deep sleep.

The eldest princess looked at Li Mingyue in her arms. Seeing how peaceful and lovely she looked while sleeping, she couldn't help but bend down and give her a gentle kiss.

I thought that from what Mingyue said, she must have seen it today, but she pretended to know nothing.

That’s right, it’s better to see the truth but not say it out loud. If it is revealed, both mother and daughter will be embarrassed.

The princess was very pleased with her daughter's handling of the matter. Well, Mingyue has grown up and knows how to love her mother...

Also, Zhao Lang looks really handsome today.

The eldest princess, who had put her worries aside, was still unsatisfied and recalled frame by frame the scene of Zhao Lang reciting poems to her today.

Just as she was infatuated with him, she suddenly felt the earth shaking, followed by a loud bang.

"What's wrong? What's wrong?" Li Chengen jumped out of the tent.

"Mom, what's wrong?" Li Mingyue rubbed her sleepy eyes and raised her head.

The eldest princess' mouth was big enough to fit an egg. She stared ahead in amazement, and saw a crack on the ground that was more than a foot wide and of unknown length.

Li Mingyue's embroidery building was built right on top of this crack, and half of it collapsed instantly...

"Oh my god, big brother is really accurate..." Li Chengen was completely convinced now, and thought that he really needed to learn from his big brother.

I just don't know if there is any scientific way to remember cards and win money.

"Brother saved me again..." Seeing her house collapse, Li Mingyue's reaction was not distress or fear, but she crawled into the arms of the eldest princess, bubbling with happiness:

"Mom, I'm right, right? Listen to my eldest brother!"

Dashamao Hutong, Zhang family mansion.

After the earthquake, Zhang Juzheng and his family were still speechless for a long time.

"Brother Zhao is such a scholar that he can even predict earthquakes..." Zhang Xiaojing covered her mouth and looked at the fallen grape trellis. She couldn't help but secretly made up her mind that no matter how difficult it would be in the future, she would learn science from Zhao Hao.

Zhang Jingxiu and his brothers were also completely convinced. They couldn't wait to study hard with Teacher Zhao and understand the mysteries of this world.

What Xiao Zhuzi and her brothers didn't know was that even if they studied science for hundreds of years, they still wouldn't be able to make predictions as accurate as Mr. Zhao's.

Because this is not science, but the realm of great prophecy...

Even after an earthquake, Mr. Zhang's beard was still as smooth as a waterfall, not at all messy.

He stroked his long beard and stared at the crack on the gable, his eyes becoming brighter and brighter.

~~

After a brief period of chaos, peace quickly returned to the Zhao residence.

Gao Wu and Cai Ming hurriedly looked around and checked the losses.

After a while, the latter came back to report: "Sir, no one is seriously injured, only one is injured." Cai Ming swallowed his saliva and said with a reluctant look:

"Xiwa...is injured again."

"What's wrong?" Zhao Hao's heart tightened.

Cai Ming waved his hand, and saw two men from Caijia Lane carrying Xiwa out from the back yard.

"Xiwa, Xiwa, what's wrong with you?" Everyone quickly gathered around and started talking about her with concern.

Zhao Shixi covered his face with his arms, perhaps because he was in too much pain or because he was too embarrassed to see anyone.

"He was climbing over a wall when the earthquake happened, and he fell down from the top of the wall..." Cai Ming explained with a stern face, "and then it broke again."

"I don't dare to do it anymore, never again..." Xiwa covered her face and said in a tone of being teased:

"I just held it in for too long and wanted to go out and relax. Then there was an earthquake. Do you have to make such a big fuss, God..."

Seeing that the child was going crazy, Zhao Hao knew it was not the time to preach. He quickly had him carried into the tent and ordered Zhao Shixi to ask the old doctor Wang next door to come and treat him.

Looking at Zhao Shizhen being carried away, Zhao Hao couldn't help but think, if I hadn't warned him, Xiwa would have gone to bed long ago and wouldn't have jumped in the middle of the night and fallen off the wall.

All the houses in the mansion were fine, so it was obvious that there was no need for me to get involved and everyone would be safe.

So, did I do a good thing or a bad thing?

~~

West Chang'an Avenue, Prime Minister's Residence.

When the earthquake occurred, the Xu family had already gone to bed, and of course Xu Yuanchun was sleeping on her stomach.

Old people tend to sleep lightly, so when the house began to shake, Lord Xu woke up immediately.

After being stunned for only a tenth of a breath, Lord Xu jumped up from the bed with agility that was disproportionate to his age. He didn't even bother to put on his shoes and rushed out of the bedroom barefoot.

Xu Fan and his wife also escaped in dishevel.

Fortunately, the earthquake didn't last long and passed.

The family didn’t dare to enter the house again. Who knew if there would be another earthquake?

Ji quickly asked his servants to fetch blankets and mattresses, preparing to spend the night outside.

Only then did she realize that Xu Yuanchun was still sleeping soundly.

I saw him laughing with his eyes closed, obviously having a sweet dream.

Ji quickly woke her son up. Xu Yuanchun looked at her blankly and said, "Mom, why is it you? Wasn't I riding with Mingyue?"

"Hurry up and get up, this is not riding a horse, this is an earthquake!" Ji poked Xu Yuanchun hard with his finger.

~~

In the yard.

Xu Fan found slippers for his father and covered him with a blanket, but saw that Lord Xu was in a trance.

"Father, what are you thinking about?" Xu Fan asked in a low voice.

"I'm thinking about how to vent my anger." Elder Xu said with a gloomy face: "Today is really too shameful."

Just a little bit, and the Prime Minister will be put in a cage...

"Father, calm down. Isn't God helping us again?" Xu Fan said with a smug look on his face.

"You mean, let's make something out of the earthquake?" Xu Ge Lao understood immediately and said, "But why are you linking it to that kid?"

"Here." Xu Fan handed a Xishan Coal Industry stock to his father.
