When Emperor Wu dressed as Darcy's sister
Chapter 34 Netherfield
The ball at Netherfield was almost empty of Longbourn, and not only young ladies and boys, but older gentlemen and ladies came as well.
Although there are young people on the dance floor, looking around, in the rest area at the corner of the hall, it is not difficult to see middle-aged men discussing winter hunting and summer fishing in twos and threes, and gossip about neighbors and short-lived wives.
Although a large number of wives have unmarried daughters, there are also many who are purely willing to join in the fun-after all, there is no one who is not curious about Mr. Bingley who rented the Soilfield Manor, let alone heard that A young, handsome, rich gentleman from London.
But it was not Mr. Bingley, the resident of Netherfield, who attracted the most attention before the ball began.It was his friend, Mr. Darcy.
The reason is quite simple. Sir Lucas said after his visit that Mr. Darcy not only has a rich family property, but also has an annual income of [-] pounds, which is twice as high as that of Mr. Bingley and more than that of Lambert. The income of most of En's families is seven or eight times higher!
And when the ball started, the ladies and wives secretly looked at it and said with satisfaction that this gentleman looks much calmer and more attractive than Mr. Bingley!
Under such a halo, Darcy quickly became the focus of the ball, and there were countless ladies who came to invite the dance either shyly or generously.But it is a pity that it was found that Mr. Darcy had not accepted the invitation of any lady since the first dance with his sister, let alone offered to invite anyone.
But it was also because of Mr. Darcy's careful care of his sister, which calmed down the embarrassment of many young ladies who had returned home. Even the wives said in private——
"Don't look at Mr. Darcy's serious and critical look, but he is really careful and considerate to his sister!"
"Maybe he's not good at communication, that's right, how can everyone get along with others so easily!"
"Young man, he must not let it go, maybe he is eager to dance with the ladies for some reason!" A lady asserted that Darcy must also want to dance in his heart, but he is a little shy because of face.
"It's true! As long as our ladies are more enthusiastic, Mr. Darcy, who can't let go, will definitely fly on the skirts of the ladies like a butterfly in the second half!"
The little fault of Mr. Darcy's coldness and fastidiousness--though he himself did not think it was a fault at all--was easily understood in this case, so that in the second half of the ball, Mr. Darcy stopped talking to his sister. After the dance music, almost every young lady wanted to or was encouraged by her mother to come and ask for a dance.
Darcy was overwhelmed by the disturbance, so he had to hide out to breathe fresh air at Wu Zhao's suggestion, and that's how Wu Zhao came to meet Elizabeth alone.
"Haha, this is so funny! Did everyone think so?"
Wu Zhao leaned on the sofa, laughing until tears flowed from the corners of his eyes
Come, she took a handkerchief and gently wiped the corners of her eyes, but she still couldn't help the smile on her lips.
"Everyone thinks brother wants to dance? This is really... I haven't seen him want to dance!"
It's no wonder Wu Zhao smiled so happily, it's really because Elizabeth learned the appearance of the Mrs. Longbourn just now perfectly, and the description of "flowers and butterflies" even hit her point of laughter.
"God, I can't imagine how my brother is eager to dance, but also 'butterfly'? He doesn't drive the girls three feet away from him with a sting like a bee, and he is already in a good mood!"
Elizabeth made Wu Zhao's face turn red with laughter, and after she finished speaking, she realized that Miss Darcy seemed to have a magical power that made people want to please her.Obviously the two just met tonight, but I unconsciously uttered these words as if they were talking with friends, making complaints about them.
"Miss Elizabeth—what a formal name, Eliza, may I call you that?"
Wu Zhao had laughed enough and wanted to chat with Elizabeth, only to realize that her name was so dignified and outrageous, it seemed to be a diplomatic eloquence, not intimate at all.
"Of course!" Elizabeth nodded again and again, and said with a blushing smile, "I also think this is too formal a name. If you don't mind, Miss Darcy, you can call me Eliza or Lizzie, That's what everyone calls me."
Wu Zhao smiled and nodded, "Then don't call me Miss Darcy anymore, call me Georgiana or Gina, my brother always calls me that."
"Well, yes, Georgiana." Elizabeth obediently agreed, and Wu Zhao couldn't help but want to touch her face.
"Then, Eliza, why don't you go dancing?" Wu Zhao wanted to know more about Elizabeth, so she asked, "Dancing to two songs won't make the young lady so tired, right?"
"Didn't you, Georgiana, go to the dance too?"
Elizabeth first replied not to be outdone, then smiled shyly and said frankly: "Just now I accidentally overheard the conversation between Mr. Darcy and Mr. Bingley."
She used her excellent talent for imitation again, and reproduced the tone and conversation of the two people in front of Wu Zhao just now.
"Mr. Darcy is right. Anyway, my purpose is not to show myself through this dance. If I look at others pitifully on the edge of the dance floor, I might as well hide in a corner."
To be honest, what Darcy said just now was a bit hurtful for other young ladies, and maybe he left in anger and sadness.
But Elizabeth is lively by nature and loves to joke, and she will find it funny when she encounters anything she thinks is funny (Note 1). This time, she accidentally heard the conversation between Darcy and Bentley. Although she was a little angry at that moment, she didn't take it seriously afterwards .
Can you still ask everyone to like themselves?Elizabeth knew that she had no such ability.
So when she talked to Wu Zhao, she still had a funny look on her face, and she said that she didn't want to dance with a little ease, "I don't want to dance. At least I don't want to marry myself. At once
Catch every man at the prom desperate to show himself.Dressing up like a courting peacock at every dance, not knowing how ugly and funny the ass is showing. "
"We share the same interest." Wu Zhao originally leaned on the sofa and listened quietly, but when he heard this, he leaned out with a smile and reached out to shake Elizabeth's hand.
Elizabeth seemed a little at a loss. She took Wu Zhao's hand and shook it under her guidance. After a while, she asked dryly, "You, do you still worry about this?"
"Uh, I mean your property, oh, I'm sorry, it's your appearance, family status and status. With this, do you still worry about marriage?"
Elizabeth unconsciously used the honorific again.
"You, you don't need to call me by my respectful title, Eliza." Wu Zhao added with a smile, but instead of answering her question directly, she threw the question back, "What kind of person do you want?" husband?"
Elizabeth was a little disappointed that she didn't get an answer, but it quickly disappeared.
She obediently replied to Wu Zhao, "Well, it is good to be handsome and rich, but it is not necessary. He may not be so rich and handsome, but at least he should respect my opinion, have a sense of responsibility, and be able to take on the burden of the family. , don’t impulsively marry for beauty like Dad—after marriage, the two people have no compatible language at all, it’s too painful, Mom is in pain, and Dad is unhappy—or we can talk about things that are both interesting to each other The topic should not be cold..."
As Elizabeth was talking, she realized that she had made so many requests, as if the few requests she just said were hypocritical evasions.
She covered her forehead to avoid the light from the candlestick on the table, lay back, slumped on the sofa and said as if giving up, "Oh, my God, forget it—at least you can't be an idiot!"
Wu Zhao made her laugh out loud and waved her hands again and again, "This requirement is very low. If you can't even do this, then you can give up marrying him! Stupid? Haha!"
Wu Zhao's situation is different from Elizabeth's. One is a little girl who hates false marriages full of money, but still has full hopes for love. Her Majesty the Empress who is only interested in beautiful sex.
How could their views be exactly the same?
Even if Wu Zhao confessed her thoughts to Elizabeth, she wouldn't understand, and would just blush—talking about a man's body with a little girl who has a beautiful longing for love?Forget it, our empress hasn't lost her integrity yet...
Wu Zhao laughed until Elizabeth blushed and couldn't stop herself.Elizabeth hurriedly explained, "I'm not saying it's okay except for idiots, I mean..."
"Hey!" Elizabeth laughed herself, and finally admitted, "Well, I can accept that I'm not a fool, at least don't let me go out like now and always worry about someone embarrassing the family, then I Going crazy!"
Wu Zhao laughed so hard that he coughed, and hurriedly took a glass of wine to press it down, but when he stretched out his hand, someone gently held it down.
"Wine is nothing
Good stuff, at least until your grown-up prom, drink less. "
A slender and bony hand reached out and pinched the goblet in front of Wu Zhao, slowly but firmly moved it away, and put a glass of orange juice on the table into Wu Zhao's hand.
"Try this, it will quench your thirst better than wine."
Elizabeth was only concentrating on talking to Wu Zhao, that's why she didn't notice the oncoming person for a while. At this time, she was in front of her eyes. Of course, it was impossible not to see it, but this corner was not as bright as the lights on the dance floor. Only a vague figure in a black dress can be seen.
Elizabeth could also guess that the person who came was someone familiar with Wu Zhao. It must be a gentleman who lived in Netherfield. Feeling that she was so impolite, she quickly raised her head to say hello to the person who came.
It happened that the person who came looked up, and Elizabeth saw his appearance clearly in the dim light, and the smile on her face froze immediately—oh my god, what kind of person is able to have such an appearance!
Platinum-blond hair is meticulously brushed back, revealing a smooth forehead and a pair of narrow, iron-gray phoenix eyes. The cold inorganic color makes everyone who looks at these eyes startled and dare not look directly at them. .
Looking down from the eyes, there is a tall nose bridge and a small nose tip.The thin lips pursed into a line seemed ready to provoke a sarcastic smile at any time.
Only when you get close can you find that the velvet evening dress that the man is wearing is not black but dark green, with a brooch on the left chest, a huge emerald in the center surrounded by fine diamonds, and the bow tie around the neck is a tower. The silk bow is calm but not exaggerated.
Elizabeth also noticed that his outstretched wrist was wearing cufflinks that clearly matched the brooch. The silver base and dark green were carved into gems in the shape of leaves of unknown plants, which complemented the dress on his body. It was low-key and luxurious, unless you carefully Look, or you won't notice the cufflinks.
Elizabeth was slightly absent-she had never seen a man with such an outstanding appearance.
Even though she dared to swear to God that she never had any unreasonable thoughts about this man, her heart still beat involuntarily, and her face turned red and hot.
The person who came was Stuart who had never appeared at the ball.
He has a high status and is a nobleman with family background.
Even if he didn't come to support Bentley, he didn't dare to say anything, and Stuart didn't come until the dance could no longer be delayed.So Bingley only thought that he was unwilling to participate in such a country dance, so he announced the start.
Unexpectedly, in the middle of the dance, Stuart actually came to the dance. It was not a lively dance floor, but such a secluded corner.
Wu Zhao didn't need to turn her head to know who was behind her. She smiled and didn't refute. She took a sip of the orange juice, looked down at the shining glass, and asked lightly, "Your Excellency, It's halfway through the dance, why did you come?"
The person behind it was really Stuart. He walked around the sofa, came to Wu Zhao and sat down calmly, stared at Wu Zhao and replied: "I know I can't dance with you even if I come early, so I will come here What - fight Mr. Darcy like a medieval duel
Decide who gets your favour? "
"If I remember correctly, the 'Mr. Darcy' you mentioned is my elder brother?" Wu Zhao raised his eyebrows, "He doesn't have to fight you to naturally have my favor."
Stuart was shamefully silent, and he stayed silent for a long time before he smiled helplessly, "Miss Darcy, you don't have to hit me like this. I will do what I promised, but it was really an accident. Received a letter from London, give me a chance, don't talk about my explanation, at least let me apologize?"
The thing he promised was nothing more than Wickham's death. In fact, this Wu Zhao didn't have great expectations after learning about the current legal and social conditions in Britain.
Wu Zhao has to admit that now is not the time for her to hold the power in Dazhou and kill everyone, and she has adapted well. Keeping Wickham alive does not mean that he will live a good life. , in fact, she is quite satisfied with some things Stuart has done.
The reason why he used this to make no false remarks to Stuart was purely because Darcy was nervous, as if he was afraid that she would be hurt again.She was quite satisfied with the only real relative in the two worlds, and she didn't mind agreeing to Darcy's innocuous demands and making sacrifices for it.
The other reason is that Wu Zhao found out that Stuart seemed to be for real!
The conscience of heaven and earth, she is just greedy for beauty, and she doesn't want to have a husband with high position and power, that is not good at all, she has done enough fighting for power and profit in her previous life.
But Stuart's beauty is really touching, if he continues to flirt like this, Wu Zhao can't guarantee that he can do something, so to be on the safe side, let's find an excuse to stay away...
Of course, this cannot be said.
Poor Stuart still didn't know the real reason at all. He just thought that Wu Zhao was still angry with him because he failed to send Wickham to God!
Stuart looked at Wu Zhao sincerely, with a pleading light in his eyes, "Tonight, I will explain it to you."
Before Wu Zhao responded, Elizabeth couldn't bear it any longer. Even though Stuart's pitiful light waves were not directed at her, she still couldn't help but help, "Georgiana, what can't be said? If you can't accept it, at least let him explain it before deciding!"
Stuart glanced at Elizabeth in surprise, and silently nodded slightly to her to express his gratitude, which was a rare expression for the always indifferent Stuart.
Even Elizabeth said so, Wu Zhao can't help but show face, and she doesn't want Stuart to show such a look in front of so many people, she always feels that his appearance should only be shown in front of herself, Well, it would be better in the bedroom...
"Why can't I stand it anymore!" Wu Zhao quickly shook his head in his heart and spurned himself, "Beauty deceives me!"
Only after Wu Zhao agreed, Elizabeth was still secretly glancing at Earl Stuart, a strange balance was formed between the three.
It was only after this balance was formed for a while that it was broken by a person who walked outside the door—it was because of the wind for a long time that Wu Zhao was worried that Wu Zhao would be dancing alone.
Boring Darcy at the meeting.
Wu Zhao came to chat with Elizabeth, but he was not at the same place where Darcy left, the corner was dimly lit, and there were little lovers who were whispering, it was difficult for Darcy to get closer and take a closer look, interrupting the love affair , Isn't it extremely embarrassing?So it took him a lot of effort to find the three people sitting here.
As soon as Darcy came, the first thing he saw was Stuart who was sitting there and couldn't take his eyes off him. An alarm sounded in his heart, he strode between the three of them, and sat down on Wu Zhao's seat. The side of the couch close to Stuart was as straight as a tree stump, separating the two of them tightly.
Stuart glanced at his friend helplessly, and really didn't understand why he reacted so strongly to his pursuit of Wu Zhao, and immediately made up his mind to have a good talk with Darcy—but not now.
The ball is not a good place to chat. He stood up and nodded to Wu Zhao, reminding her not to forget the agreement between the two, then took two steps back and said lightly: "I should go back, everyone, goodbye."
Darcy couldn't help but sarcastically said: "Your Excellency wasn't there at the beginning of the dance, and neither was you at the end of the dance, so don't you think it's troublesome to spend a lot of time dressing up for the middle?"
Although the two have the same indifferent personality, Stuart is obviously more talkative than Darcy. He looked at Wu Zhao and smiled slightly, "For the beautiful Miss Darcy, this is not a trouble."
Darcy was furious, this was clearly a provocation!
He endured and endured, just when he felt that he couldn't help jumping up and punching Stuart in the face, Wu Zhao said at the right time, "Thank you, but I think the other ladies at the ball are also worth it."
These words calmed Darcy's anger very well, and Stuart didn't speak any more, just bowed to Wu Zhao, and then turned his head and left the hall alone.
Darcy was relieved to see that he had indeed gone out through the door opened by the servant, and couldn't help but want to repeat to Wu Zhao to stay away from Stuart. Fortunately, he hadn't forgotten that Elizabeth was still sitting on the side, successfully Hold back.
After a while, it was Elizabeth who spoke first. She stared dreamily at Stuart's back for a long time before she came back to her senses. At this time, she held up a glass of wine to cover her cheeks, and said with an embarrassed smile: "My God! , I was rude just now. But that gentleman is too, too..."
She searched her guts but couldn't find a suitable adjective, so she skipped it and said, "I guess that is the Lord Earl who is said to live in Netherfield Manor?"
"Legend? Why is there still a legend?" Wu Zhao couldn't help but also wanted to laugh, she nodded in agreement with Elizabeth's statement, "If you listened to what Sir Lucas said, then I think it is."
Elizabeth glanced in the direction of the gate in awe, and said in a low voice: "And my father, he also mentioned it. Said, said that this earl really makes people feel awed when they see it. I still don't believe it. Now it looks like It's true."
Wu Zhao smiled, and didn't express any opinions on this matter, but suggested: "After the dance is over, how about visiting Netherfield in two days? My maid is very skilled, you will definitely like it
. "
Elizabeth came back to her senses and quickly agreed, "Okay! Thank you for your invitation, Georgiana. If you don't dislike it, I think my mother will be happy to entertain you and your brother. Come to our house as a guest!"
Wu Zhao agreed with a smile.
The author has something to say: two more in one!Let it out early~

I can't go out these two days, he is about to be suffocated, he has made a bunch of inventions and creations, and he is pulling me back to the glory days...
Let me tell you another little story about my dad...
When disinfecting his home this morning, he mentioned SARS in 03. The economy was underdeveloped back then, and supplies were far scarcer than they are now. It was really impossible to buy disinfectant everywhere, but he was in a private school back then, and there were thousands of The teachers and students of No. [-], did not receive the notice of the holiday at the beginning, and most of them were boarding students. What should they do without disinfectant... Smoked vinegar, isatid root, etc. obviously cannot provide enough protection, so many people still Amazing!
My dad was worried about it for two days, and finally he slapped his thigh, what the hell, electrolytic salt water, homemade sodium hypochlorite!
Then he really went to the chemistry laboratory, took a group of teachers around, and made a lot of sodium hypochlorite for disinfection, because the concentration of sodium hypochlorite used for disinfection was not high in the first place...
My stomach hurts from laughing, I'll go, I'm so brave!He is not afraid of hydrogen being flammable and explosive, it is poisonous and smelly!
According to him, the hydrogen gas was collected and put into a wide warehouse and then let go, basically nothing was produced, it was all dissolved...
Me: ... What else can I say, I admire it!
My dad finally taught me earnestly: the old saying is good, learn mathematics, physics and chemistry well, and you will not be afraid to travel all over the world!
Me: ...I don't say anything else, I still admire it!

Although there are young people on the dance floor, looking around, in the rest area at the corner of the hall, it is not difficult to see middle-aged men discussing winter hunting and summer fishing in twos and threes, and gossip about neighbors and short-lived wives.

Wu Zhao didn't need to turn her head to know who was behind her. She smiled and didn't refute. She took a sip of the orange juice, looked down at the shining glass, and asked lightly, "Your Excellency, It's halfway through the dance, why did you come?"
The person behind it was really Stuart. He walked around the sofa, came to Wu Zhao and sat down calmly, stared at Wu Zhao and replied: "I know I can't dance with you even if I come early, so I will come here What - fight Mr. Darcy like a medieval duel
Decide who gets your favour? "
"If I remember correctly, the 'Mr. Darcy' you mentioned is my elder brother?" Wu Zhao raised his eyebrows, "He doesn't have to fight you to naturally have my favor."
Stuart was shamefully silent, and he stayed silent for a long time before he smiled helplessly, "Miss Darcy, you don't have to hit me like this. I will do what I promised, but it was really an accident. Received a letter from London, give me a chance, don't talk about my explanation, at least let me apologize?"
The thing he promised was nothing more than Wickham's death. In fact, this Wu Zhao didn't have great expectations after learning about the current legal and social conditions in Britain.
Wu Zhao has to admit that now is not the time for her to hold the power in Dazhou and kill everyone, and she has adapted well. Keeping Wickham alive does not mean that he will live a good life. , in fact, she is quite satisfied with some things Stuart has done.
The reason why he used this to make no false remarks to Stuart was purely because Darcy was nervous, as if he was afraid that she would be hurt again.She was quite satisfied with the only real relative in the two worlds, and she didn't mind agreeing to Darcy's innocuous demands and making sacrifices for it.
The other reason is that Wu Zhao found out that Stuart seemed to be for real!
The conscience of heaven and earth, she is just greedy for beauty, and she doesn't want to have a husband with high position and power, that is not good at all, she has done enough fighting for power and profit in her previous life.
But Stuart's beauty is really touching, if he continues to flirt like this, Wu Zhao can't guarantee that he can do something, so to be on the safe side, let's find an excuse to stay away...
Of course, this cannot be said.
Poor Stuart still didn't know the real reason at all. He just thought that Wu Zhao was still angry with him because he failed to send Wickham to God!
Stuart looked at Wu Zhao sincerely, with a pleading light in his eyes, "Tonight, I will explain it to you."
Before Wu Zhao responded, Elizabeth couldn't bear it any longer. Even though Stuart's pitiful light waves were not directed at her, she still couldn't help but help, "Georgiana, what can't be said? If you can't accept it, at least let him explain it before deciding!"
Stuart glanced at Elizabeth in surprise, and silently nodded slightly to her to express his gratitude, which was a rare expression for the always indifferent Stuart.
Even Elizabeth said so, Wu Zhao can't help but show face, and she doesn't want Stuart to show such a look in front of so many people, she always feels that his appearance should only be shown in front of herself, Well, it would be better in the bedroom...
"Why can't I stand it anymore!" Wu Zhao quickly shook his head in his heart and spurned himself, "Beauty deceives me!"
Only after Wu Zhao agreed, Elizabeth was still secretly glancing at Earl Stuart, a strange balance was formed between the three.
It was only after this balance was formed for a while that it was broken by a person who walked outside the door—it was because of the wind for a long time that Wu Zhao was worried that Wu Zhao would be dancing alone.
Boring Darcy at the meeting.
Wu Zhao came to chat with Elizabeth, but he was not at the same place where Darcy left, the corner was dimly lit, and there were little lovers who were whispering, it was difficult for Darcy to get closer and take a closer look, interrupting the love affair , Isn't it extremely embarrassing?So it took him a lot of effort to find the three people sitting here.
As soon as Darcy came, the first thing he saw was Stuart who was sitting there and couldn't take his eyes off him. An alarm sounded in his heart, he strode between the three of them, and sat down on Wu Zhao's seat. The side of the couch close to Stuart was as straight as a tree stump, separating the two of them tightly.
Stuart glanced at his friend helplessly, and really didn't understand why he reacted so strongly to his pursuit of Wu Zhao, and immediately made up his mind to have a good talk with Darcy—but not now.
The ball is not a good place to chat. He stood up and nodded to Wu Zhao, reminding her not to forget the agreement between the two, then took two steps back and said lightly: "I should go back, everyone, goodbye."
Darcy couldn't help but sarcastically said: "Your Excellency wasn't there at the beginning of the dance, and neither was you at the end of the dance, so don't you think it's troublesome to spend a lot of time dressing up for the middle?"
Although the two have the same indifferent personality, Stuart is obviously more talkative than Darcy. He looked at Wu Zhao and smiled slightly, "For the beautiful Miss Darcy, this is not a trouble."
Darcy was furious, this was clearly a provocation!
He endured and endured, just when he felt that he couldn't help jumping up and punching Stuart in the face, Wu Zhao said at the right time, "Thank you, but I think the other ladies at the ball are also worth it."
These words calmed Darcy's anger very well, and Stuart didn't speak any more, just bowed to Wu Zhao, and then turned his head and left the hall alone.
Darcy was relieved to see that he had indeed gone out through the door opened by the servant, and couldn't help but want to repeat to Wu Zhao to stay away from Stuart. Fortunately, he hadn't forgotten that Elizabeth was still sitting on the side, successfully Hold back.
After a while, it was Elizabeth who spoke first. She stared dreamily at Stuart's back for a long time before she came back to her senses. At this time, she held up a glass of wine to cover her cheeks, and said with an embarrassed smile: "My God! , I was rude just now. But that gentleman is too, too..."
She searched her guts but couldn't find a suitable adjective, so she skipped it and said, "I guess that is the Lord Earl who is said to live in Netherfield Manor?"
"Legend? Why is there still a legend?" Wu Zhao couldn't help but also wanted to laugh, she nodded in agreement with Elizabeth's statement, "If you listened to what Sir Lucas said, then I think it is."
Elizabeth glanced in the direction of the gate in awe, and said in a low voice: "And my father, he also mentioned it. Said, said that this earl really makes people feel awed when they see it. I still don't believe it. Now it looks like It's true."
Wu Zhao smiled, and didn't express any opinions on this matter, but suggested: "After the dance is over, how about visiting Netherfield in two days? My maid is very skilled, you will definitely like it
. "
Elizabeth came back to her senses and quickly agreed, "Okay! Thank you for your invitation, Georgiana. If you don't dislike it, I think my mother will be happy to entertain you and your brother. Come to our house as a guest!"
Wu Zhao agreed with a smile.
The author has something to say: two more in one!Let it out early~

Today I saw some cuties asking about the update time, because there are double updates this week, so two chapters will be released from [-]:[-] pm to [-]:[-] pm, and then it will be updated at [-]:[-] pm!
Also, thank you for praising Dad for being cute, haha!
I can't go out these two days, he is about to be suffocated, he has made a bunch of inventions and creations, and he is pulling me back to the glory days...
Let me tell you another little story about my dad...
When disinfecting his home this morning, he mentioned SARS in 03. The economy was underdeveloped back then, and supplies were far scarcer than they are now. It was really impossible to buy disinfectant everywhere, but he was in a private school back then, and there were thousands of The teachers and students of No. [-], did not receive the notice of the holiday at the beginning, and most of them were boarding students. What should they do without disinfectant... Smoked vinegar, isatid root, etc. obviously cannot provide enough protection, so many people still Amazing!
My dad was worried about it for two days, and finally he slapped his thigh, what the hell, electrolytic salt water, homemade sodium hypochlorite!
Then he really went to the chemistry laboratory, took a group of teachers around, and made a lot of sodium hypochlorite for disinfection, because the concentration of sodium hypochlorite used for disinfection was not high in the first place...
My stomach hurts from laughing, I'll go, I'm so brave!He is not afraid of hydrogen being flammable and explosive, it is poisonous and smelly!
According to him, the hydrogen gas was collected and put into a wide warehouse and then let go, basically nothing was produced, it was all dissolved...
Me: ... What else can I say, I admire it!
My dad finally taught me earnestly: the old saying is good, learn mathematics, physics and chemistry well, and you will not be afraid to travel all over the world!
Me: ...I don't say anything else, I still admire it!
