Chapter 174 The manuscript is gone

"Oh, it turns out that you are talking about the thorn ball. I like it very much. Why don't you give it to me!" Taiping said disapprovingly after hearing this. In her opinion, Zhang Zong's family planted so many flowers and plants, and this one is not bad.

"No, you can choose other flowers and plants in your home, but the cactus cannot do it!" Zhang Zong said very toughly. There is only one cactus in the Tang Dynasty. Although this thing has strong vitality, it likes dryness but not wetness. When novices raise it, they are prone to being unable to control their hands, so they drown it because they pour too much water to drown it.

"Why can't it be? Isn't it just a flower or plant?" Taiping said angrily after hearing this. She had already taken the initiative and had agreed to return the manuscript to Zhang Zong just now, but now Zhang Zong didn't even agree to such a "small request" to her, which made her angry again.

"It's not that I won't give it to you, but that cactus was brought back from America. There is only one plant in the entire Tang Dynasty. It is easy for ordinary people to raise it to death, so you'll give it to me. When it separates in the future, I can give it to you another one!" Zhang Zong had to suppress his anger again and explained, after all, people were under the eaves and had to bow their heads.

"I don't care, I just want this cactus. If you don't give it to me, then don't want the manuscript!" Taiping said arrogantly again.

Zhang Zong finally resisted the urge to take action. He closed his eyes and took a long breath, then slowly exhaled, and finally covered his emotions and finally said again: "Okay! The cactus can be given to you, but you have to raise it according to the method I taught you. In addition, if a new cactus grows in the future, you must give me one!"

Although cactus is precious, it is only Zhang Zong’s personal hobby after all, and it is far less important than the manuscript, so Zhang Zong had to make a choice. If the cactus is really raised to death by Taiping, at most, you can wait a few years to let Qian Dahai and the others bring some back from the Americas.

"Hehe, this is what business looks like!" Taiping saw Zhang Zong compromise, and immediately put his hands on his hips again and said proudly. In her opinion, the whole thing seemed to be just a business game, which brought her great freshness, but she never thought about the serious consequences that this incident might have.

Zhang Zong smiled and Taiping was so angry that he hated her, but he had no choice but to do anything to her. Instead, he had to explain to her in detail how to plant cactus. The main thing is to control her hands and not water too much. Taiping was a little careless and didn't know how much she listened to. In the end, Zhang Zong didn't have too much hope for cactus.

"Okay, if nothing happens, I will go back to the palace. When will you prepare the perfume? When will you let the fourth brother find me?" Taiping said again very briskly at last, and after that, he jumped and left.

"Sir, Taiping her..." Li Dan also stepped forward to Zhang Zongdao with apologetic expression, but he was halfway through but didn't know what to say.

"Your Highness, you don't have to say much. I want to thank you for your help in this matter!" Zhang Zong took the initiative to thank him. He also knew that Li Dan could not control Taiping, and that he had done everything he could, so he really couldn't blame him.

"Thank you, Mr., for being magnanimous. Speaking of this, it's so peaceful and chaotic. I must ask my brother to take care of her if I have the chance in the future!" Li Dan sighed again at this time. Although Zhang Zong did not blame him, he still felt a little guilty.

After hearing this, Zhang Zong smiled and said nothing, but he had made up his mind to keep a distance from Taiping in the future, otherwise Tian knew when he would be implicated by her. After all, she was a princess and could do whatever she wanted, but others could not afford to play.

In the next period of time, Zhang Zong devoted all his energy to making perfumes, and Xue Shao also helped him find suitable flowers all over the capital. After nearly two months of busyness, a hundred bottles of perfume were finally made.

When Zhang Zong sealed the last bottle of perfume, Xue Shao and Wan'er behind him breathed almost at the same time. The three of them looked very relaxed. After all, the process of making these hundred bottles of perfume also consumed a lot of their efforts. Now the three of them are even a little disgusted with perfume.

"Wan'er, let's celebrate it later. In the afternoon, we will invite the King of Xiang to come back and take the manuscript back then, so we don't have to worry anymore!" Zhang Zong put the last bottle of perfume and immediately smiled and ordered Wan'er.

"Well, young master, don't worry, I'm already preparing this morning!" Wan'er agreed with a crisp voice at this time, and then ran to the kitchen with a happy look on her face to work.

In a short while, a rich lunch was ready. Zhang Zong and Xue Shao sat down, and at the same time they pulled Wan'er down. During this period, Wan'er might have done a lot of effort in making perfume. She usually had to do housework, which could be said to be harder than anyone else.

After lunch, Xue Shao immediately went to find Li Dan in person. Originally, Zhang Zong wanted Li Dan to bring the perfume directly into the palace to find Taiping transaction, but Xue Shao was worried that Taiping would act like a scoundrel after getting the perfume, so he still called Taiping out with Li Dan and then made a deal.

Zhang Zong and Wan'er reorganized the perfume together. After about an hour, the sound of a carriage finally sounded outside. Then Taiping ran in excitedly. When he saw the perfume on the table, his eyes lit up and shouted and rushed forward, "My! Mine! All of them are mine!"

"I can give you perfume, but what about the manuscript?" Zhang Zong immediately stepped forward and asked Taiping.

"Don't worry, I'll keep my word!" Taiping picked up a few bottles of perfume and sniffed it in front of his nose, then showed an intoxicated expression.

At this time, Xue Shao and Li Dan also walked in. The few of them finally waited until Taiping put down the perfume before taking them to get the manuscript. But what Zhang Zong didn't expect was that Taiping did not go to other places, but took them into Furong Garden, which made Zhang Zong and Xue Shao look at each other, but didn't say anything.

In fact, Zhang Zong and Xue Shao had previously guessed where Taiping hid the manuscript, and the most likely one was Furong Garden. After all, Taiping said that the manuscript was not in the palace. Apart from the palace, the only one she came to most often was Furong Garden. However, Furong Garden was so big that there were too many places to hide things, so they couldn't find it even if they wanted to.

I saw Taiping and Zhang Zong and the others making a lot of twists and turns, and finally came to the water part of Furong Garden. Because Furong Garden was built next to Qujiang Pool, part of the water surface was also included in the area of ​​Furong Garden, so there were also many water buildings in the entire Furong Garden, and there were also many pleasure boats on the water surface, which were usually dedicated to the royal family like Taiping.

After Taiping came here, he climbed a pleasure boat directly, which surprised Zhang Zong and others. However, after thinking about it, there were not a few pleasure boats on the water surface, and it was indeed not easy to find the manuscripts on a certain pleasure boat.
