Manbao and Mingda were led here by Keke. Manbao was digging and digging without caring about where he was. He just walked in the direction scanned by Keke.
Although Mingda cared about it, she often came to the front hall to play with the emperor. When she was younger, she even ran to the court to pee, but she didn't remember it. Her mother told her.
The palace attendants who followed behind hesitated to speak, but seeing that the princess was enjoying herself, they hesitated and did not come forward.
The two of them held hands and followed Keke's guidance to the door of a palace. Man Bao looked at the stone jars on both sides in a daze, "It's spring, why are there lotus flowers?"
Mingda was well-informed and said with a smile: "This was raised by a gardener a few years ago. Look at this small lotus. It is delicate and pretty, and the petals are slightly pointed. Does it look like the lotus seat under the Bodhisattva's seat?"
Man Bao thought for a while and nodded, "It's really similar."
Mingda smiled and said: "My father believed in Buddhism, so my father was very happy when the gardener planted this flower. He specially placed several stone jars in the Tai Chi Hall. When the servants saw it, they worked hard to study it. Within three years,
This will allow the flower to bloom three seasons a year, except in winter, when the weather gets warmer in spring it will start blooming and will not stop blooming until the weather gets cold in late autumn."
Keke added in Manbao's mind, "The genes of this lotus have never been included, so it can be included. The reward points are very generous."
Man Bao looked down at the lotus in the stone jar, reached out and tapped its petals, and said to Keke thoughtfully: "The reason why you judged that its reward points will be very generous is because although its genes
It has been changed, but this change is hereditary and maintains very well?"
Keke didn't answer.
Man Bao confirmed her thoughts, and she vaguely understood the problems in their world.
The flower farmer in the mall sold her a lot of flowers. It seemed that he could grow any kind of flowers. As long as she asked, he could even make peonies and chrysanthemums grow on the same plant.
She is not even afraid of the four seasons, and has the flowers she needs at any time.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, this is quite scary.
If a rice grain bifurcates and grows an ear of wheat, the two can grow regardless of spring, summer, autumn and winter...
Man Bao shuddered.
But no matter how beautiful these things are when they grow, they can't save seeds. If they use the seeds they harvested to sow them again, they don't know what will grow, or even nothing will grow...
The seasons change, and all things have spirits. If humans control all things in this way, I am afraid that all things will bite back on humans.
Man Bao's eyes fell into the void, thoughts rolling in his mind, but he did not speak to Keke for confirmation.
She knew that Keke was not free. Judging from the last time it accidentally revealed the word "gene" and then disappeared for a while, there were some things that not only it couldn't say, but even her, the host, couldn't ask.
otherwise……
Manbao swallowed.
Man Bao came back to her senses a little, and saw Ming Da making a move in front of her, and asked worriedly, "What's wrong with you?"
Manbao blinked, and Mingda said: "You have been staring in front of you in a daze, and you didn't respond when I called you several times."
Man Bao said sheepishly: "I'm thinking about something."
As soon as she lowered her head, she realized that she had accidentally pulled off several lotus petals. A beautiful lotus flower was broken by her.
She looked at Mingda very embarrassed.
The people in the palace behind were trembling when they saw it. Your Majesty likes this lotus very much.
Ming Da didn't care. When he saw that the lotus had turned ugly, he simply pinched it.
Man Bao didn't care much, after all, it was just a flower, but she thought the flower smelled very good, so she was reluctant to throw it away, so she simply took it and played with it.
She looked at the pretty lotus and asked, "Since Your Majesty likes it very much, wouldn't it be good for us to dig it up?"
Lotus flowers need to dig out their rhizomes before they can be collected, otherwise it will be useless to collect their branches and leaves.
Mingda asked: "Will the rhizome die after digging it?"
"No," Man Bao said, "I'll be careful and just break off one piece and let the rest continue to grow."
Mingda smiled and said: "That doesn't matter, just dig it."
Mingda rolled up her sleeves and wanted to dig for herself. As a result, she rolled up her sleeves and the palace attendants immediately came up. Manbao had already stretched out his hand to block her, "The water is cold, don't touch the cold water."
After saying that, she handed the flowers to her. She looked around and saw a couch and a bench under the open pavilion not far away, so she ran over and brought two benches.
They directly stood up together, rolled up their sleeves, and reached into the stone jar to dig out tubers.
The emperor, who had just heard two fierce quarrels in the study room and felt a little achy, decided to go out for a walk. He took a few people who were arguing in the study room out to relax, and then moved to the side hall to watch.
He saw his little baby and Zhou Man standing in front of a stone jar.
As for Zhou Man, almost half of his body was buried in the stone jar. He was rolling up his sleeves and feeling for something in the stone jar.
Mingda stood aside and asked, "How's it going? Did you touch it?"
Man Bao said: "I touched it, but it is too tight. In order not to hurt it, I have to go slowly."
She smiled and said: "Don't tell me, the mud is really easy to touch, but the water is too cold."
Just as the emperor was hesitating to call them out, Zhou Man pulled out his hand and said happily: "Dig it out."
She raised her little hand, holding a dark object with a lotus attached to it.
emperor:……
Ministers:......
The palace man standing five steps behind Mingda and the others kept his head down and only dared to look at Mingda's toes. Suddenly he felt something was wrong. He raised his head slightly and saw a group of people standing in the corridor on the left. He was so frightened that he knelt on the ground.
The emperor glanced at them lightly, and Gu Zhong immediately signaled them to be silent.
The kneeling palace ladies did not dare to make a sound.
Mingda didn't notice the movements behind him and was helping Man Bao carefully tear apart the tangled lotus flowers.
Man Bao broke it off hard and divided the black thing into two parts, one big and one small, in front of the emperor and all the ministers.
Unfortunately, the small piece was connected to a lotus. Man Bao handed the broken tuber to Mingda and buried the tuber, which was only the size of two thumbs, into the stone jar.
She thought about it and felt that this might be a bit difficult. It would not be good to make it difficult for the gardener because of her reasons, so she talked to Keke and took a small package of plants from the system space that Dr. D gave her last time.
The soaking liquid was buried directly next to the stem.
This thing was given to her by Dr. D when she traded a plant called lily of the valley with Dr. D last year.
In addition to the one included in the collection, she dug up two more. One of them was relatively strong and was photographed by Dr. D on the forum. There was also one that she kept herself, but that one was dug up and pregnant with rhizomes.
Good life.
After Dr. D found out about it, he gave her a box of plant soaking solution. This thing was not sold in the mall, but it was very common in biological research laboratories and it was not expensive.
Most of this thing is white and the other half is green. It is sealed in a transparent film. The film dissolves when it comes into contact with water, leaving no trace at all.
So Man Bao buried this thing next to the lotus root with great confidence.
