Chapter 50: The Haunting Little Girl

"Brother Shi, why did you tell others the trick easily? Isn't this obviously let Taiping know?" Xue Shao saw Zhang Zong telling Princess Taiping's little maid about the secret of soapy water, and immediately complained.

"You really plan to take the trick of a child as a secret?" Zhang Zong asked with a smile.

He did not expect to meet the legendary Shangguan Wan'er. This "female prime minister" in history is only a little older than Princess Taiping. Historical books record that when she was still a baby, she was framed by her grandfather Shangguan Yi and entered the palace with her mother. However, she did not expect that she had been the maid of Princess Taiping.

"Taiping has apologized to me just now. Third brother, don't be angry with her anymore!" At this time, Xue Ning'er also whispered to Xue Shao. She was weak, but quite generous, and even took the initiative to plead for Princess Taiping.

Since my sister said that, Xue Shao smiled embarrassedly. Compared to Xue Ning'er, he seemed a little narrow-minded, but then he reminded her again: "Don't think that Taiping apologized today, but I don't believe she will really stop bullying you, so you should also avoid her in the future!"

After hearing this, Xue Ning'er nodded repeatedly, then rushed out a bubble at Xue Shao mischievously. As a result, Xue Shao also fought back immediately. Soon Zhang Zong was pulled in. The three of them continued to play the bubble blowing game, and finally they did not enjoy it until they used up the soap and water.

"Brother Shi, you will have two-color roses here in the future, so you must remember to keep them for me!" When he left the last time, Xue Ning'er reluctantly grabbed Zhang Zong's sleeve and said.

"Don't worry, after a few days, the roses began to grow. I'll graft a few pots of multi-colored roses for you. One pot can bloom seven or eight colors of flowers!" Zhang Zong smiled and patted Xue Ning'er's little head, but the little girl was actually shy.

After seeing off Xue Shao and his sister, Zhang Zong returned to the flower garden and breathed a sigh of relief. Then he felt a little moved that Princess Taiping was still as willful as she met last time, and even a little domineering. What was surprising was that she met Shangguan Wan'er this time. Unfortunately, she was still young and could not see the style of a "female figure" for the time being. She could only be said to be a smart and sensible little girl.

However, what Zhang Zong never expected was that just as he was thinking about what happened today, he suddenly heard a familiar voice saying: "Hehe, at a young age, he actually sighed like an old man. It's so boring!"

Zhang Zong looked up when he heard the sound, and sure enough, he saw Princess Taiping's little head on the wall again, which made him show a helpless expression and said, "Why are you lying on the wall again? Do you care about you in the palace?"

"The father and mother have left, and the elder brother has also gone to Luoyang. Who dares to care about me?" Princess Taiping said proudly with her chest.

After hearing this, Zhang Zong had nothing to say. Apart from the three people she mentioned, there was really no one who could discipline her in the entire Tang Dynasty.

However, the other party always crawled on the wall of his house, which made Zhang Zong feel uncomfortable, so he looked up helplessly again and said, "Xue Shao and the others have left. Why are you doing lying on the wall? Is there anything else?"

"Of course there is something wrong. Didn't you agree to make perfume for me? I want to see how it is made!" Princess Taiping said naturally.

Zhang Zong was also amused and crying when he heard this, but he still replied patiently: "Didn't I say before that perfume needs time to prepare, and also requires Xue Shao's help. Now that everyone has left, I have not prepared anything, how can I make perfume?"

"Then you prepare now. I have nothing to do anyway, so I'll just watch you here!" Princess Taiping said for granted again. Her every word and action was centered on herself and she had never considered anyone else.

Zhang Zong was speechless when he heard this, so he simply ignored her and did his own thing. He took a few bags of things from the room, poured them into a basin, added water to it and stirred them evenly.

"Are you preparing for perfume?" Princess Taiping, who was on the wall, saw Zhang Zong ignore him, and instead asked.

"Yes~" Zhang Zong said perfunctorily. After saying that, he raised a basket of eggs from the kitchen, then wrapped the mixture in the basin on the eggs, and put them one by one into a jar with a small mouth and a big belly.

"You need to use eggs to make perfume?" Seeing Zhang Zong's actions, Princess Taiping on the wall also showed a puzzled expression.

"Yes, eggs are of great use." Zhang Zong raised his head and smiled, but he did not explain.

In fact, Zhang Zong is making egg-changing eggs. This thing is a bit similar to pineapple eggs, but pineapple eggs have too high lead content. It is said that they will cause Alzheimer's disease if they eat too much, and egg-changing eggs will be much healthier. This thing is made of lime, straw powder, alkaline noodles, and mixed with a certain proportion of soil to wrap it on the eggs. Use strong alkali to denaturate and solidify the eggs.

The final egg white made is translucent, with a slight yellow color. The egg yolk is golden on the outside but blue on the inside. It tastes like lime. But if you take a cucumber and cut a few eggs and mix it with a cold dish, it will be a very delicious cold dish.

After the eggs filled the jar, Zhang Zong sealed the mouth of the jar and placed it in a cool and ventilated place. Usually it can be eaten in seven or eight days.

After making the egg change, Zhang Zong stretched his waist long. In fact, there is another advantage in changing the egg, which is that it can save the eggs for a longer time. The weather is too hot now, even the eggs are prone to breakage, so the eggs on the market are relatively cheap, so he bought more, and it tastes good and is not afraid of breakage.

"Why do I feel like you are lying to me?" A voice that came out loud again, which scared Zhang Zong.

"Why haven't you left yet?" Zhang Zong looked at Princess Taiping on the wall speechlessly. It took him half an hour to change the egg just now, and the other party didn't say anything. He had left because she had left, but he didn't expect that the other party would stare at him for so long.

"You must be lying to me. Those eggs are for you to eat!" Princess Taiping, who was on the wall, angrily said to Zhang Zong. Although she was young, she was not that easy to cheat.

Although Taiping saw it through, Zhang Zong did not change his expression and did not answer positively. Instead, he asked, "Princess, do you know what I wrapped on the egg just now?"

"What?" Princess Taiping was indeed trapped.

"It's lime and soil, and there are also messy things like straw. These things are used to make something called egg change. It takes seven or eight days to make it. It is mainly used to absorb impurities in perfume!" Zhang Zong told the truth before, but the last sentence started to go to the train. Anyway, the other party didn't know how the perfume was made, and he was not afraid of the other party exposing it.

"Is that true?" Princess Taiping couldn't help but start to doubt her previous judgment when she heard this. Can the eggs be eaten with lime and soil?

In fact, it’s not her fault for being easy to deceive. The most important thing is that Zhang Zong knows the true meaning of lying. Only by adding one lie to the nine-point truth can he confuse the other person to the greatest extent.

"Of course it's true. If you don't believe me, I can't do anything." Zhang Zong finally spread his hands and said very openly.

"Okay, okay, I believe you!" Princess Taiping finally dispelled the suspicion in her heart, and then still stared at Zhang Zong's actions.

"It's almost dark. Don't you go back to have a meal?" Zhang Zong saw that the other party was still not planning to leave, and finally couldn't help asking again.

"It's okay. I saw you ate some snacks while working, but now you're not hungry." Princess Taiping replied with her head tilted. She thought it was very interesting to watch Zhang Zong work, especially Zhang Zong is not as afraid of her as others, and she knows a lot. These all make her feel very novel.

"I want to take a shower. Do you still have to stare at me like this?" Zhang Zong said helplessly. He was sweating all over his work just now, and the weather was so hot, so he used to taking a shower with cold water. Except for the few days when Zhang Jing and his wife were there, he took off all his clothes in the yard and took a shower. Anyway, there was no one else.

"Don't you go to the room when you take a shower?" the little girl asked unwillingly.

"If you don't go, the yard is so cool. If you don't leave, I'll wash it now!" Zhang Zong said as he walked to a large water tank and reached out to take off his clothes. He really couldn't stand being seen as a monkey.

"No, I'll go to the disciple!" Princess Taiping on the wall finally screamed, and her little head finally retracted behind the wall, which made Zhang Zong breathe a sigh of relief. The entangled girl finally left.

However, Zhang Zong did not deceive the other party, but really planned to scrub it. After all, it was lime and soil just now, and he was sweating all over his body, and he felt uncomfortable at this time.

So Zhang Zong waited for a while and saw that Taiping did not emerge from the wall again. He took off his clothes with confidence. He only wore a pair of shorts sewn under him. Then he scooped out the warm water that had been dry for a day from the water tank and poured it into the basin. He wet the towel and wiped it. He had to cook and eat later. He must be sweating again after the meal, so now he scrubs first, and then clean it thoroughly until he finished the meal.

However, just as Zhang Zong was halfway through the washing, he suddenly heard a scream from behind, and fortunately Zhang Zong reacted very quickly, grabbed the clothes one by one and blocked himself forward, and then roared at the wall in anger: "Are you done? Didn't I say I'd take a shower?"

"I...I just want to see if you are lying to me?" Although Princess Taiping shrank behind the wall, the sky-swelling bun on her head was still exposed, shaking, and I don't know if it was scared or laughing?

"You...you..."

Zhang Zong was speechless. He didn't know that the other party was so young. He had such a big suspicious disease. You know, he had waited for a while just now, and when he saw that the other party had not appeared, he started taking a shower, but he didn't expect that the other party would actually kill him and shoot him back.
