The gardener blew his beard and glared, "I dug the aqueduct, what else?" ”

Shen Ao smiled: "I have to build a house for this flower to shelter it from the rain." ”

Shelter the flowers from the rain? The gardener was stunned for a moment, as if he had heard the funniest thing in the world, and laughed: "Build a house for the flowers!" Are you crazy! ”

Shen Ao said calmly: "I'm not crazy, too much rain will only make the worms multiply faster, so to keep the rhizomes of the flowers dry, in order to prevent accidents, you must build a shelter for it." He muttered: "It's a pity that there is no transparent material that can not only block the rain, but also absorb sunlight for the flowers, and if the shed to shelter from the rain blocks the sunlight, it is difficult for the flowers to heal." ”

In the future, it is only necessary to build a greenhouse and enclose the flowers with transparent tape; But in this day and age, where to find transparent plastic glue? Shen Ao was in a dilemma for a moment and fell into thought.

The gardener muttered, "You little thief, I don't look like a good person at first sight, but I have listened to your nonsense, and if this flower withers, I will never rest with you." ”

"Shut up!" Shen Ao was interrupted from his thoughts and shouted.

The gardener was startled, and said with a pale face: "You are so bold. All of a sudden, he became timid again, pursed his lips and turned pale as paper.

Shen Ao's face became gentle again: "Don't interrupt my train of thought, let me think about it." ”

He pondered for a moment, squatted on the ground, picked up branches, dug up the soil, kneaded various shapes like building blocks, but finally rejected these plans one by one. When the gardener saw that he was very serious, his fear gradually disappeared, and he also squatted on the ground to see how he could figure out what to do.

"There it is." Shen Ao stood up and said, "Quick, bring me felt cloth and wood." ”

"Why don't you go and get it?" The gardener was slightly dissatisfied.

Shen Ao smiled and said: "I'm a guest, you are the master, hurry up, otherwise once the night falls, if the humidity is too heavy, this flower will definitely die." ”

When the gardener heard this, he glanced at the delicate peony flower, frowned as if he had made a great determination, and then immediately threw down the hoe, turned around and went to find the raw materials, and after a while, he brought a lot of wood and felt cloth over, and the movement was quite fast.

Looking at these materials, Shen Ao's eyes straightened, picked up a piece of wood, and said, "Take this to make a shed for the flowers?" ”

The gardener said angrily: "Can't you do it? ”

"It's done, it's done." Shen Ao Khan, this wood is a fine red sandalwood, only this small piece, its price is already very expensive, this gardener does not know where to find it, it is a waste.

The waste could not be wasted on Shen Ao's head, Shen Ao asked the gardener to take a hammer and willow ding, and began to build it by hand, the whole shed was ventilated from east to west, only the top and the north and south directions were covered with thick felt cloth, so that shelter from the wind and rain was not a problem, and a certain amount of ventilation could be maintained.

Shen Ao said to the gardener: "Go find a few more bronze mirrors." ”

"Bronze mirror?" The gardener was confused: "What do you want to do with the bronze mirror?" ”

Shen Ao said: "Go quickly, it's almost too late." ”

The gardener gritted his teeth and read quietly: "Pretend to be a ghost." "I went to look for the bronze mirror again.

When four or five bronze mirrors were found, Shen Ao placed them in various corners of the fence, constantly adjusting the position, and the gardener asked curiously, "What are you doing?" ”

Shen Ao said: "You see, the flowers are covered by the felt cloth on the top, although they can avoid the rain, but they can't see the sun, if you want it to be exposed to the sun, you must find another way, these copper mirrors are facing the flowers, and they can refract the sunlight to the flowers from the ventilated places of the east and west, so that they can not only avoid the rain, but also block the sun?" ”

The gardener suddenly realized, and finally understood Shen Ao's ingenuity, and couldn't help but say: "This method is good, not to mention whether the flowers can be healed, just the setting of this flower shed is already unique." It's a pity ......"

"What a pity?" Shen Ao saw his regretful look and asked suspiciously.

The gardener looked annoyed, and said in a sullen voice, "Why didn't I think of this way!" ”

Shen Ao smiled: "If you think of it, you should become a carpenter." ”

The gardener was speechless, but at this moment, it was the princess of Jin who came and shouted from afar: "Shen Gongzi! ”

A hint of joy flashed across the gardener's face, and he hurriedly grabbed a bronze mirror and made serious gestures on the fence to adjust its position.

Shameless! Shen Ao was very contemptuous in his heart, he didn't see him compare, but when he saw Princess Jin coming, he worked so hard, for fear that Princess Jin wouldn't see it?

Princess Jin entered the fence gate and first asked Shen Ao, "Has Shen Gongzi seen the cause?" It was at this time that the eyes noticed the gardener, and he was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "Lord Wang! ”

"Oh, it's the concubine...... "Beads of sweat oozed from the tip of the gardener's nose, but he continued to adjust the bronze mirror intently.

Rajah? Shen Ao glanced at the gardener, he was the King of Jin?

Looking at his pretentious demeanor again, he couldn't help laughing, in his imagination, King Jin should be a very dignified and dignified person; But how can the king of Jin in front of him be so virtuous?

Princess Jin walked to King Jin's side and said gently and considerately: "The prince has worked hard. ”

King Jin sighed and said: "The concubine's beloved Baihua is jealous, this king is sleepy all night, what is the value of hard work, the princess will stay less, and I will talk to you when the king is busy with the current matter." ”

Princess Jin said: "What is the prince doing?" ”

King Jin said with his eyebrows fluttering: "This is called rain and not sun, concubine, you see, the flower trellis just covers the top and the north-south direction, and it is not without problems to shelter from the wind and rain, but if the sun shines down, even the sun is covered." This king thought of a way...... "King Jin became melancholy: "Actually, this method is not the idea of this king alone, this Shen Gongzi also contributed, did Concubine Ai see these bronze mirrors?" We place the bronze mirror at a position about a few feet away from the flower shed, and the mirror faces the peony, so that the sunlight is refracted and the light can be shot on the flower, which is not the shade of the rain and the sun? ”

Princess Jin hesitated and said, "What do you want to do without covering the rain and the sun?" ”

King Jin put down the bronze mirror, held the princess of Jin with one hand, the wisdom in his eyes flashed, and explained seriously: "Concubine Ai doesn't know, this king worked hard to observe, and found that the reason why this flower is infected is very likely to be caused by too wet soil, about this, Shen Gongzi also saw it, so if you want to cure this flower, you must keep the soil dry." ”

Princess Jin smiled: "I'm afraid that Shen Gongzi can see it." ”

King Jin was very embarrassed, and said stubbornly: "He saw one step earlier than me." ”

Shen Ao was even more embarrassed on the side, this couple treated my buddies as transparent people; And this King of Jin's face is really thick enough, he actually talks nonsense with his eyes open, and takes any credit from himself, which is shameless enough!

It turned out that King Jin was such a person, Shen Ao was shocked, but he could only smile bitterly in his heart.

After everything was done, Shen Ao said: "Princess, whether this flower can survive depends on tonight, if it is okay tonight, this macula will dissipate in a few days." ”

Princess Jin looked happy and said cheerfully: "Shen Gongzi has been busy for so long, please go to the hall to drink a few sips of tea." ”

Shen Ao nodded, but the King of Jin said angrily: "Princess, this Shen Ao is really rude, and he actually yelled at this king, and he didn't give him this tea." ”

Shen Ao glared at him, he was not afraid of such a prince, King Jin was quite like a child in his eyes, he liked to tell some small lies, liked to sue, and especially held grudges.

Shen Ao said in an indifferent tone: "Since the prince doesn't want to invite the students to tea, then the students will leave." ”

"Hurry up, hurry up." King Jin wished that Shen Ao would go as far as possible.

Princess Jin pursed her lips and smiled: "Shen Gongzi, the prince is just joking with you, you ......"

King Jin interrupted the princess and said, "This king is not joking. ”

Princess Jin ignored it and continued: "Shen Gongzi is a guest, it is appropriate to drink a few sips of tea, come, follow me to the hall." ”

Shen Ao smiled bitterly, glanced at King Jin, and said, "Forget it, it's not too late for the students to eat the princess's tea next time." ”

As if deliberately going against Shen Ao, King Jin blew his beard and said, "Concubine Ai invites you to sit, you go and sit, what are you doing so verbosely." ”

After some politeness, Shen Ao was finally pulled to the main hall of the palace to sit down, after all, the princess was a female dependent, said a few words, and said that Mrs. Shi had something at home, and she had already left first, so that Shen Ao had time to go to the Shifu to walk around, and then said to King Jin: "Prince, you treat Shen Gongzi well, don't be slow, I'll go back to the back garden to see the flowers first." ”

King Jin nodded very obediently and said, "Don't worry, princess, this king will treat him well, this king is very hospitable." ”

The princess smiled calmly and went slowly.

Shen Ao lowered his head and pretended to drink tea, the atmosphere in the hall was very embarrassing, and the prince's eyes stared at him with bad intentions, which made him even more uncomfortable.

The dignified King of Jin, but he looked like this, Shen Ao's heart turned, but he was thinking, could this prince be deliberately pretending to be like this?

It must be known that there are many princes who are so carefree in history, especially some close clans, in order to show that they have no ambition for power, it is understandable to do so.

"You are Shen Ao?" King Jin asked with a calm face.

Shen Ao nodded: "Yes." ”

King Jin sneered and said, "This king has heard of you, you can compose poems, write books and paint, and break jade, and you can't imagine that you can also plant flowers." ”

Shen Ao said modestly: "Planting flowers? Students don't know anything at all, and occasionally treat diseases, but they still understand a little. ”

King Jin said angrily: "You just ran into this king, this king is very angry, this king has decided to refer to you to the emperor, and to impeach you for disrespecting the clan." ”

Disrespectful to the clan! What a big hat!

As soon as King Jin's voice fell, he said: "But this king remembers that you are young and ignorant, so I will give you a chance to atone for your sins." ”

First suppress and then promote, this King Jin is not stupid! Shen Ao smiled and said, "Lord Wang, please speak." ”

King Jin's eyes sparkled, staring at Shen Ao and saying, "Will you bow?" ”
