Chapter 682: Not Bamboo, It's Peony?
Dugu Mo and Pomegranate couldn't help but look at Wu Zhe in surprise. I don't know if it's a coincidence, or if it's like a god. Here, as soon as Wu Zhe finished speaking, the emperor came back to send something, and a eunuch actually sent something over after refusing the Chu family's visit.
"What a coincidence, what a coincidence. Of course, it may also be that the emperor arranged for someone to wait there, and when the Chu family came and was rejected by us, he would jump out......" Wu Zhe tilted his head and thought for a while, and said to Dugu Mo: "If you really wait there, you have to congratulate Gongzi on winning the emperor's favor." β
Dugu Mo thought about it for a while, and he understood the trick.
If Emperor Xuanwu is willing to set conditions when he asks people to send things, it means that he already has a very important position in his heart.
"Hurry up and pick it up, I don't know what the emperor will send. Wu Zhe urged: "Don't forget to reward your father-in-law who sent things, even don't forget to drive the carriage." β
Leopard Lao and Dugu Mo hurriedly went out to greet them, and Pomegranate glanced at Wu Zhe, not knowing what was going on, and didn't dare to open his mouth to train people.
Wu Zhe made himself a cup of tea and sat behind the screen in the living room, waiting for Dugumo and the others to come back.
"Grandpa Cao, please inside. β
After a while, his father-in-law was welcomed in, and Wu Zhe listened behind the screen.
There is nothing special, this father-in-law did not bring a message, just sent a box.
What the two sides talked about was nothing more than Dugu Mo's fame, which was actually a moral model or something.
Not long after, Wu Zhe drank the tea behind the screen, and his father-in-law also left. The leopard elder gave the hardship fee, and the father-in-law and his subordinates left happily.
"Miss Zhou, come and take a look. The leopard went to the back of the screen and beckoned Wu Zhe to come out.
Wu Zhe doesn't deliberately hide her whereabouts now, and Leopard Lao can naturally know that she is behind the screen.
Pomegranate is reminding: "Your Royal Highness, the emperor sent someone to send something, this imperial gift should be enshrined in the main pavilion, right?"
"There is no decree. It does not belong to the Imperial Gift. Dugu Mo muttered and reached out to open the wooden box.
The four of them looked at each other together.
It's actually a pot of flowers and plants.
A peony flower that has entered the flowering stage.
Although the flowers are good, the flowers of the peony have obviously begun to wilt, and they are afraid that they will wither and wither in two days.
Lost flowers!
It's a pot of lost flowers!
"Oops!" Pomegranate exclaimed, feeling that things didn't seem to be good: "It's actually a potted flower?!"
Dugu Mo and Leopard Lao were also shocked when they saw it.
The leopard old man was surprised: "Could it be sent by mistake?"
"Probably not. Dugu Mo gritted his teeth secretly. I felt a chill in my heart.
It's very unlucky to send a defeat flower. If there is a deep hatred or a warning, there will be a similar act of sending the flower of defeat.
Could it be that the emperor warned Dugu Mo that he had gone too far?
Unconsciously, the three of them shifted their gaze to Wu Zhe. The pomegranate followed Dugu Mo's gaze.
"It's a shame that the emperor asked his father-in-law to cover a box and send it over, otherwise it would be terrible to spread it. Wu Zhe also seemed to be frightened, patted his chest and said, "Son, hurry up and arrange a credible person to go out from the back door of the house and quietly buy a new pot of peony flowers back." β
"Yes, yes, it's too bad to spread out!" said Leopard Laolian.
Dugu Mo hesitated slightly. Hurriedly ordered: "Pomegranate, go buy a pot of peonies." Be careful not to be seen, and cover it with something. β
As soon as Pomegranate heard that he was a trustworthy person for Prince Mo, he immediately responded and trotted out all the way.
Dugu Mo circled around the pot of flowers, waited for a while, and waited for the pomegranate to go far before saying, "Miss Zhou can tell what this flower means." β
The leopard elder sighed beside him. Only then did he realize what Wu Zhe said just now, it was just to ask Prince Mo to turn the pomegranate.
"Actually, I originally thought. The emperor will send a bamboo. Wu Zhe also took great pains to learn Dugu Mo for a while before continuing: "It seems that Emperor Xuanwu is so profound, it's really not easy to guess, it's not easy to guess." β
Dugu Mo and the leopard waited with blank eyes, waiting for Wu Zhe to explain the meaning of the almost withered peony flower, and their eyes were full of inquiry.
Dugu Mo prides himself on being intelligent, but in front of Wu Zhe. Especially under the pressure of the scheming Xuanwu Emperor, it was simply not enough.
"Why don't you ask me, why do you guess that the emperor will send bamboo?" Wu Zhe asked with a smile.
Dugu Mo folded his hands together and bowed, and said respectfully: "Please teach Miss Zhou." β
"I'm working for you, so you're welcome. I'm a guy who loves to sell a thing. Childe should not take it to heart. Wu Zhe smiled and hid aside, avoiding Dugu Mo's worship.
She smiled and hid, and suddenly released all the awkwardness of selling Guan Guan regardless of her identity before.
"I haven't been distracted by anything else these days, I'm just helping my son figure out the recent situation. So come to a conclusion that the emperor will send something. And my initial guess was that I thought the emperor would send bamboo. Wu Zhe began to explain.
Dugu Mo and Leopard Lao listened seriously, but they also slandered you in their hearts that you were obviously lazy, unwilling to do any rough work, and looking for some excuse to think hard......
Wu Zhe continued: "Because I think that bamboo only blooms once in a lifetime, which is most in line with a certain meaning. And the name also has a related meaning. β
"Implications?" Dugu Mo muttered, but he couldn't understand it for a while.
"Let's not talk about this for now, let's see if this peony flower is ......" Wu Zhe approached the flower pot, and suddenly reached out and grabbed the stem of the peony flower.
The half-withered flowers of the peony flower trembled and trembled in Wu Zhe's grasp.
"I'll pull itβ" Wu Zhe snorted softly.
Dugu Mo and Leopard Lao watched her pull out the flowers, and they wanted to stop them but held back, but the expected situation of grabbing the flowers and lifting them with the flower pots did not happen.
Originally, the flowers and plants are always in the pot, and when they are lifted up at the stem, the roots of the plant will firmly grasp the soil, and then the whole pot will be brought up by force.
But now, the whole pot of peony flowers was pulled out of the pot in one fell swoop.
Dugu Mo and the leopard were stunned, only to see that the roots of the peony flowers were actually smooth. There are countless roots that should have grown at all.
No roots?
This peony flower actually has no roots!
Dugu Mo and the leopard boss were surprised.
I only noticed that this was a withered flower and a failed flower, but I didn't expect it to have no roots.
"Childe, have you figured it out?" Wu Zhe smiled and stuffed the peony back into the pot.
The stems of the peony flowers are tightly seamed in the soil insertion, just enough to keep them from falling. Obviously, this peony was deliberately removed from the roots and planted in a pot.
"Peony Flower ......" Dugu Mo's brain teaser and muttered: "You also said that you thought you would send bamboo...... Could it be ...... Bamboo...... Pawn ......"
Wu Zhe smiled: "Yes, the emperor is telling you that there is a person like a flower that has fallen and has no roots to live...... Damn!" (To be continued......)
