God-level Consort of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 917 You are late
Zhou Yuanwai was very happy for his wit.

He turned his head and shouted to the bearers behind him: "Everyone work hard, hurry up, if you delay my good deeds, I will beat you to death! Take all the ladies in your family and play with me!"

A group of people quickened their pace and soon arrived at the gate of the imperial city.

From a distance, Zhou Yuanwai waved his hands excitedly, and wanted to rush to the high platform, but unexpectedly, he was stopped by the forbidden army.

He hastily asked his servants to open the sedan chair and brought out the sunflower plant before he was let go.

dong dong dong.

Zhou Yuanwai dragged his fat body, and angrily climbed up the high platform, and saw that there were many people busy on the high platform, moving boxes down one by one.

In the center of the high platform, there are two figures, an elderly man and a young man.

Member Zhou wiped the sweat off his brow and hurried over.

He widened his eyes, saw the boy's appearance clearly, and was startled: "Ah, isn't this Concubine Du?"

That boy was Du He.

Du He turned around slowly, looked at a middle-aged fat man with a wretched face, showing a smile like a pig's intestine, and asked curiously: "Hi, do we know each other?"

Zhou Yuanwai hurriedly smiled and said: "The son-in-law doesn't know me, but I do know the son-in-law. Two years ago, I married a concubine. On the day of the wedding, I was snatched away by the son-in-law on the street, and the son-in-law finally gave it back to me." Me, don't tell me, that little concubine was trained to be very obedient by you..."

When Chen Shuda heard this, he suddenly couldn't help looking at Du He with contempt.

It was not without reason that Du He was called one of the four evils of Chang'an back then.

Du He touched the tip of his nose, and hurriedly explained: "Don't talk nonsense, I am a scholar, how could I snatch your concubine... Don't talk nonsense, you can go, lest I can't bear it later Stop beating you."

Member Zhou shook his head like a rattle, "My son-in-law, I'm not leaving, I'm here to collect the reward!"

"What?" Du He was taken aback, "What kind of reward do you get?"

Zhou Yuanwai pointed to the reward list on the high place, and said: "This is it. I have a fresh sunflower plant. I want to give it to the queen. I want to receive a reward of 20 guan!"

Chen Shuda's expression suddenly became very exciting.

He hurriedly asked: "Do you have fresh sunflower? Where is it? Let the old man have a look!"

Member Zhou waved his hand, and under the guard of the imperial guards, a servant came up cautiously with a flowerpot, which was a sunflower plant.

Chen Shuda was surprised to find that it was exactly the same as the one Du He just took out.

The size and growth of the sunflower, the size and shape of the flower pot, and even the soil inside are all the same.

Chen Shuda asked curiously, "How much did you pay for this sunflower?"

Zhou Yuanwai danced and said happily: "Your Excellency is really amazing. You can tell at a glance that the sunflower plant is bought by Caomin. To be honest, sir, I spent 20 yuan to buy this sunflower plant! But it took a lot of money!" To be honest, I spent 20 guan to buy a pot of sunflower, and finally received 20 guan as a reward. It was not for money, but for the kindness of your majesty and the queen. I heard that the queen has a poor appetite and needs Eating fresh vegetables makes me restless day and night, and it took a lot of manpower and financial resources to buy them..."

The guy was crying.

It's a hype.

He hoped that this skinny official would pass his words to the ears of His Majesty and the Empress. Maybe His Majesty would be happy and praise his character, so he would give him an official position. If so, that would really be an ancestral grave. It's smoking!

As he said that, Zhou Yuanwai was full of joy and looked at Chen Shuda expectantly.

But Chen Shuda's mouth twitched, his face was shocked, he recovered after a while, and said: "Your kindness is really precious, but you are late!"

Zhou Yuanwai waved his hand: "My lord, it's neither too late nor too late, sooner or later is the same!"

Chen Shuda shook his head: "It's different, if you don't believe me, look!"

With that said, he moved away.

Member Zhou took a closer look, and saw a long table behind Chen Shuda, with five flower pots neatly placed, each with a lush green sunflower plant.

That flowerpot, that sunflower, was exactly the same as the one I bought for 20 guan.

boom.

In an instant, Zhou Yuanwai was struck by lightning.

He stood there stupidly, his smiling face suddenly twisted into a mess.

"puff……"

He spat out a mouthful of blood.

Zhou Yuanwai turned his head slowly and looked at Chen Shuda: "Dare to ask my lord, where did you get these sunflowers?"

Chen Shuda told the truth: "These are all sent by Concubine Du. By the way, he bought them at a cost of 30 guan, which is [-] more than you."

30 guan is a full 20 guan more than [-] guan, which is not a small amount of money.

It shows that Du He was taken advantage of and was deceived.

But Zhou Yuanwai was not happy at all.

The reward list said that it was first come, first served, but it didn't say that Du He was not allowed to come.

Now that Du He's five sunflower plants are in place, he is only one step late, but what's the use of it.

His bounty ran!

His senior officials and rich salary are gone!
What's more, all the 20 guan that he scraped together by selling pots and pans were all in vain!
He looked at Du He again, "My son-in-law, you took out this bounty, why did you buy sunflowers to claim it?"

Du He explained: "You don't understand this. The queen's appetite is poor. As a son-in-law, I am more anxious than anyone else. When I am anxious, I get angry and beat people when I get angry. In order to benefit everyone, I So I hurriedly sent people to search everywhere, and finally found out that there was someone selling fresh vegetables in the Temple of the City God five miles south of the city, and my young master bought them at a high price, just to win the queen's favor, and to do my filial piety. Tell me, what did I do wrong? "

Zhou Yuanwai: "..."

In Du He's words, there is nothing wrong with it.

After a while, Zhou Yuanwai asked curiously again: "But, why did you buy five plants? One plant is enough! This cost a lot of money!"

Du He pouted: "Young master is rich, can you control it?"

Zhou Yuanwai: "..."

He was speechless again.

At this moment, the forbidden army came to report: "Master Chen, someone has brought fresh vegetables, and there are many people!"

Chen Shuda was shocked and hurriedly asked to bring it up.

In a short time, seven or eight people came forward.

Everyone was holding a flowerpot, and in the flowerpot, without exception, was a sunflower plant, which was exactly the same as the one Zhou Yuanwai brought.

Zhou Yuanwai's eyes darkened, and he almost jumped off the high platform.

That damned beggar.

He sold so many sunflowers at one time, but that guy still swore that he only had this one plant, and there would never be others.

fraud!

Big liar!

When the other people who followed after learned the truth, they all cursed their mothers angrily.

After we exchanged ideas, we discovered that the sunflowers are all the same, but the prices are quite different.

Someone spent 20 guan!

Someone spent 15 guan!

The cheapest one only cost [-] guan!

Of course, the most expensive one is Duhe, which costs 30 guan.

However, everyone's mentality was the same as that of Zhou Yuanwai, and they couldn't be happy at all.
