From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

For children, festivals are fun and lively, always accompanied by gifts and food.

For adults, festivals mean reunion and rest, which is also a good thing.

But for people like Zhou Yuan who need to make decisions, there are really a lot of things to do.

After leaving the King of Dharma's house, it was almost noon, but he still had one thing to do.

He took a carriage to a magnificent mansion. As soon as the guards came up, they bowed and saluted, and someone went in to pass the message.

Zhou Yuan nodded, and soon, Luo Zhiyuan almost ran out, excitedly saying: "Brother-in-law! When did you come back! I missed you so much!"

He quickly stretched out his hand and said: "Come, I'll help you carry your things... Hey, where are your things?"

Zhou Yuan glared at him unhappily and said: "You didn't bring anything. I'm so busy, how can I prepare any gifts? Go away, don't bother me, where's your sister?"

Luo Zhiyuan rubbed his hands and laughed dryly: "She didn't come out of the room. Last time, she moved to the palace, but later found that she couldn't get used to it, so she moved back quickly."

"Hey, my sister is mysterious all day long, doing those weird things, it's normal for her to be unreasonable."

Zhou Yuan slapped him on the back, and Luo Zhiyuan grimaced in pain.

"What are you talking about, kid? Your sister is a genius. It's normal that you can't understand her."

"Do your job well. You are now a big boss of the 12th Regiment of the Beijing Camp. If you embarrass me, don't call me brother-in-law."

Luo Zhiyuan patted his chest and said, "Don't worry about it. With my physique, I am not afraid of anyone except that stupid big guy in a one-on-one fight."

What the kid said was right. In the past two years, he has grown up quickly. He is 185 cm tall. In this era, he is a strong man, but his face is a little delicate, which makes him look less intimidating.

"Where is your father?"

Zhou Yuan asked casually.

Luo Zhiyuan said, "We are having dinner in the yard. We have invited many friends to come. They are all nobles. None of them are human. If it weren't for giving him face, I wouldn't want to accompany them."

Zhou Yuan kicked him and frowned, "Where did you learn this kind of mess? People with ability should take care of their families first."

"You can't even handle these basic social etiquettes. How can you do big things in the future? Go and accompany the wine. I'll go find your sister."

Luo Zhiyuan laughed and said, "Okay, I'll listen to my brother-in-law!"

He ran away happily, and then turned back and said, "By the way, brother-in-law, my sister hasn't married yet, so don't mess around..."

"What the hell do you care! Get out of here!"

Zhou Yuan glared at him fiercely, thinking to himself, I don't have so many obscene thoughts about a wonderful woman like Ruan Zhi, but only love and admiration from the bottom of my heart.

He strode into the room, saw Ruan Zhi, and immediately smiled and said, "Ruan Zhi! Long time no see! Come and let me check your body!"

Luo Ruan Zhi was startled, then stood up quickly and said anxiously, "Stop! Don't move!"

Zhou Yuan was stunned in place, and then he noticed that the floor was covered with calculation papers and there were messy traces everywhere.

He swallowed his saliva, and for a moment he really didn't dare to take a step forward.

Luo Ruan Zhi blushed slightly, bowed slightly to him, and then said, "I... I'll clean it up..."

She was obviously a little embarrassed, after all, the place was too messy, and she looked very sloppy.

So she explained: "I... I didn't do this on purpose, I just had a little confusion..."

Zhou Yuan smiled and said: "Don't worry, I'll help you clean up..."

"Don't! Don't!"

Luo Ruanzhi was startled and said: "Don't get the order wrong, it will be troublesome to find it later, I will do it myself."

She carefully packed up the manuscript paper, talking to herself, with a brisk tone: "Sir, the Jinyiwei gave me news last month, saying that they can bring a batch of books within this year at the latest."

"But... Sister Qu Ling found some books for me in advance, one of which is called "Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy" is very precious, which inspired me a lot and made a lot of progress in my original thinking."

"It is said that Ms. Kolodiya brought it to me, I really thank her."

"She also found some knowledge from newspapers and magazines for me, and elaborated on the trajectory of star movement, the wonders and laws of the starry sky."

At this point, she raised her head and chuckled: "It turns out that the sun is the center."

Zhou Yuan was stunned.

He felt like his heart was about to explode.

So, the sun is the center...

Ruan Zhi, do you know how dazzling and charming you are when you say this!

The charming brilliance of science, the dazzling truth, the charm of wisdom, the rational beauty of women... all gatheredFocusing on her, she became so attractive.

Zhou Yuan's voice was trembling: "I don't know, but I believe you. The people of Dajin don't know, but they will believe you in the end."

He wanted to use these words to encourage Ruan Zhi. Confidence must be very important to her.

Ruan Zhi said while packing: "But there are still many problems, many things I don't understand, and I have to deal with too many trivial things."

"Besides, I always feel that I am missing some tools..."

Zhou Yuan was excited and cautious.

He said calmly: "Don't worry, leave it to me. I will find all the tools you need, any microscope, any astronomical telescope, as long as they are available in this era."

"I will spend money to set up a special laboratory for you in the Imperial Academy, and let you personally select students to be your assistants, to help you with chores and organize information."

"You can do any experiment, I will provide it for you, and the national treasury will also provide it for you."

Luo Ruanzhi looked up and asked in confusion: "Are you tired? Why are you panting? Did you just arrive in Shenjing?"

Zhou Yuan shook his head and said: "No, I... I'm just a little excited... Don't worry about this, Ruanzhi, you have to believe that everything you do will be supported, the support of the entire Dajin."

Luo Ruanzhi frowned and said: "This sentence is so strange, I always feel that it is a bit too much praise for me, I am just doing the research I like, it doesn't mean I have any credit, I... I I don't dare to ask for so much support, it's unsettling. "

She soon laughed again and nodded, "But you have inspired me. I can indeed select a few students with good comprehension to assist me, so I don't have to deal with those trivial matters."

"You don't know that my maids can't recognize all the characters, let alone some Western symbols. They may even make things worse."

She finally packed everything up, walked in front of Zhou Yuan, bowed slightly, and whispered: "Sir, long time no see, Ruan Zhi misses you."

Zhou Yuan wanted to hug her, but she took a step back and said with a red face: "It's dirty... and there are ink stains..."

"I don't care about that!"

Zhou Yuan hugged her into his arms, felt her soft and thin body, and whispered: "Ink will never be dirty, it is a symbol of your hard work and wisdom."

As soon as the voice fell, Zhou Yuan froze, took a few steps back, and covered his crotch.

He widened his eyes and said in astonishment: "Ruan Zhi, you... you just... you..."

Luo Ruan Zhi was also startled, her face flushed, and she waved her hands and said: "No, no... Sir, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it..."

"I just... I also learned some knowledge about the structure of the human body from Western books. When I was hugging, I suddenly thought of this, and I pinched it for some reason..."

"I definitely didn't mean it, Sir... please don't think of me as a loose woman!"

When you are hugging, are you thinking about science?

Zhou Yuan swallowed and murmured: "Come on, I'll cooperate with you..."

Luo Ruan Zhi's face turned red, and she lowered her head and stammered: "No... no..."

Zhou Yuan said: "This is science! Don't think wrongly!"

Luo Ruan Zhi looked at him, almost crying, and choked up and said: "Sir... I'm not stupid..."
