Chapter 1442 True or False
The Crown Princess took her hand and stood up, saying with a smile, "Since you're here today, why don't you go to the garden and pick a flower you like? I'll cut it and wear it for your hairpin tomorrow."
When Manbao heard this, he blinked and asked, "Are flowers used for hairpins?"
"Of course, you have to appreciate the flowers and wear them in your hairpins."
Manbao followed the Crown Princess to see the flowers she had prepared. These peonies were all grown in pots. They were not as lush as those in the imperial garden, but the colors were very good and they were very pretty.
These were all carefully selected by the Crown Princess.
Manbao looked at the flowers happily and said, "Crown Princess, what color peony do you like? How about I give you a hairpin tomorrow?"
She recently wanted to find someone to sell flowers to, but this one didn't look suitable, and that one didn't look suitable either, so she was hesitant to take action.
Zhou Wulang and Zhou Lijun couldn't help but ask her if she didn't plan to sell flowers this year?
But now Manbao knows that in addition to selling potted flowers, hairpin flowers are also very good.
The Crown Princess was stunned and said with a smile, "I was the one who wanted to give it to you, how come you are the one giving it to me?"
Manbao said sincerely: "My lady, these pots of flowers you have are very good. It is not easy to cut them for hairpins. It is better to keep them for appreciation. I have some flowers suitable for hairpins."
"That's what you don't understand. The flowers for this hairpin also need to be carefully selected. Leaving beautiful flowers on the branches to admire is certainly a pleasure, but cutting the flowers and using them to set off the beauty is also a joy. So the flowers for this hairpin should be the best. Why would you choose the inferior ones?"
Manbao winked at her and said, "Why don't you take a look at it tomorrow? I guarantee you'll like it when you see it."
The Crown Princess hesitated for a moment before nodding.
After having lunch at noon, Manbao left the palace and happily returned to Changqing Lane. As soon as the guards left, she jumped out.
On the way, she went to the mall and bought many pots of beautiful peonies in various colors and shapes from the flower farmers.
She temporarily placed them in the system space. After she went around the flower market, she found that there were people everywhere. A place without people was obviously not safe enough for her to store so many varieties of high-quality flowers.
So she scratched her head and had to go home.
As soon as I got home, I saw that Lord Tang was already being entertained by Mr. Zhuang.
Lord Tang looked up and smiled, "I heard you left the palace, so I deliberately came a little slower. How's it going? Did you find the stone?"
Manbao nodded silently, "I found it. Today, I am finally sure that all its toxins have been eliminated."
Lord Tang was confused.
Manbao brought a wooden bucket from the kitchen filled with water. As she passed the yard, she said to Master Tang, who was staring at the bucket, "Please wait a moment."
Manbao carried the wooden barrel back to the house. Lord Tang's eyes followed her but he did not follow her.
Although he really wanted to know what this girl was doing, he still held back.
Mr. Zhuang is no longer surprised by the strange behavior of the children. The best way is to let them go and let them play as long as they don't cause any big trouble.
However, he was also curious about what evidence Manbao had brought back that had made Lord Tang come to get it in person.
Manbao took out the gem that had been soaked for the whole morning, washed it directly in clean water, then wiped it dry with a cloth and sent it out to Lord Tang.
When Lord Tang saw the brown medicine that had not been washed off the stone and smelled the medicine coming from the stone and the person, he was speechless for a long time.
Manbao placed the stone in front of Master Tang and said with a smile, "Brother Tang, this is the stone."
Lord Tang touched the stone and could still feel its wetness. Even if it was stone, it would be cooler and more damp than usual after the water was wiped off.
The veins on Lord Tang's forehead jumped as he asked, "Why do you need to soak in medicine?"
"To remove the toxins," Manbao said with a guilty conscience, but he forced himself to say, "I've been soaking for 49 days. I've checked and the toxins are gone. From now on, you can sleep hugging a stone without any problem."
Lord Tang frowned, staring intently at Manbao's face. He didn't know whether he believed it or not. Anyway, after a while, he nodded, stood up and said, "Get a box to put it in."
The wooden box that the prince originally gave her to store the gems was very valuable. Manbao was reluctant to part with it, so she went back to the house and found a small rattan box made for her by her fourth brother.
Lord Tang was speechless for a long time as he watched her put such a gem into such a simple wicker box.
In front of Mr. Zhuang, he endured it, but after leaving the yard, he handed the wicker box to his servant, then turned around and pointed at Manbao, scolding with a smile: "I have never seen a girl more stingy than you."
Manbao: "I am famous for being generous in my family."
Lord Tang: ...
Before getting into the car, Lord Tang stared at Manbao and asked, "Would you mind giving me the prescription for soaking the stone?"
Manbao shook his head repeatedly, "No, that won't work. This is a secret recipe. Besides being able to detoxify the stone, it has other uses. Anyway, I can't give it to you."
Lord Tang probably expected her to say that. He nodded, lowered the curtain, and asked the coachman to drive away.
The servant and the driver, sitting on the shaft, lifted the curtain and poked their heads inside to ask, "Master, are we going back to the mansion, or to Jingzhao Prefecture?"
Lord Tang thought for a moment and said, "Go to Jingzhao Prefecture."
Lord Tang opened the wicker box and stared at the gems inside, already inclined to believe that it was fake.
Although the girl was stingy, she was never stingy with things like medical skills and prescriptions. He had heard in Yizhou that whenever someone came to her to discuss medical skills, she would tell them what she meant and never hide the prescriptions she had.
Can detoxifying a stone be more valuable than a prescription for a human being?
When they arrived at Jingzhao Prefecture, Lord Tang carried the rattan box in and asked someone to bring in several basins of clean water, and then he washed the stains off the gems.
After changing the water three times, I finally cleaned everything in the gaps between the gems.
This gem is not small and is carved into the shape of a rooster.
Lord Tang touched it carefully and found traces of carving on it, but they were few. Obviously, this stone was similar to a rooster before, and then it was artificially carved into this shape and polished.
The comb of the rooster gem is bright red. The prince once said that it will emit a soft red light at night, just like a night pearl.
The rooster gem's wing feathers are also clearly visible, but they gradually fade from red to yellow, and the tail feathers are a little green.
The prince said that every color would glow, and it looked like colorful and warm jade during the day, but it was even more dazzling at night.
That's why he liked it very much when it was presented to him. Even when he was drunk and in a bad mood, he would often hold it in his hands and play with it.
I played late at night and just put it next to the bed and went to sleep.
That's why he was so shocked when he learned that the gem was poisonous.
However, Lord Tang didn't know whether it would glow at night. Now that it was clean and he looked at it carefully, Lord Tang found that it was indeed colorful and warm, as if it was a piece of colorful gem.
Lord Tang frowned. It didn't look like a fake. He didn't believe Zhou Man could find such a fake in just one day.
