At night, Prince Mo's mansion.
Uncharacteristically, Shi Liu hid in the room early, and did not accompany Prince Mo in the meeting hall.
As for pomegranate, she hid in the room alone, and put on the golden jade phoenix hairpin according to the bronze mirror.
This is the jewelry that only a first-class rich lady can wear.
In the dim candlelight, gold and jade shine brightly, and pomegranate's eyes emit a greedy light.
I don't know which prince fell in love with me, Pomegranate thought. What a vision...
If Pomegranate didn't come to delay the conversation, Dugu Mo naturally didn't bother to talk about it, and asked Wu Zhe and Bao Lao to discuss the day's affairs together.
Old Leopard said: "That Chu Quxiang is really pitiful. Whenever I think of him being knocked unconscious by you, master, I want to hold my stomach and laugh."
Wu Zhe laughed secretly. In fact, he overheard the other party's whispers, so he easily guessed the content of the other party.
Dugu Mo said: "After intercepting the startled horse today, I reprimanded Miss Zhou in front of the carriage, don't take it to heart."
Wu Zhe said carelessly: "It's a trivial matter, anyway, what you withheld is the maid's monthly payment, and now I enjoy the monthly payment of the staff, right?"
"That's natural, and it's still the monthly salary of the first-class staff." Dugu Mo said firmly.
He has completely trusted Zhou Zhiruo's ingenious calculations, such a think tank is hard to find, so naturally he will respond to every request. If he knew about the 80,000 taels of gold jade phoenix hairpin, he would definitely buy it for Wu Zhe without hesitation.
The three of them summed up the situation during the day, and the topic naturally couldn't be separated from Wu Zhe's clever calculations.
"Miss Zhou, what do you think of pomegranates?" Dugu Mo immediately asked Wu Zhe, taking advantage of the absence of pomegranates.
Old Leopard was listening, knowing that if Miss Zhou said something disgusting. I believe that Dugu Mo would drive Pomegranate away without hesitation. Even if he offends the clan's family because of this, he won't have any hesitation.
"Sister Pomegranate is pretty good." Wu Zhe pretended to be puzzled.
"If Miss Zhou doesn't mind, I won't worry about it." Dugu Mo expressed his attitude with a smile.
The meaning of these words is quite clear: If you, Zhou Zhi, don't mind that Pomegranate messes with you, I won't drive her away. If you get annoyed in the future, feel free to bring it up.
Wu Zhe smiled and said, "Don't, you have to pay more attention to her."
"Pay attention to her?"
Wu Zhe smiled even more happily: "Yes, you'd better ask her softly about everything in front of people, and look at her face. Make a decision."
"Miss Zhou has a beautiful smile, but why do I feel that you are a little..." Dugu Mo hesitated to speak.
"A little bit of a bad smile?" Wu Zhe felt proud instead of ashamed. "..." Old Leopard was a little speechless.
It is still Dugu Mo who is more resistant to poison: "Miss Zhou is humble..."
After a pause. Dugu Mo vaguely thought of something, and guessed: "Ms. Zhou, do you want Sister Pomegranate to be... a shield?"
Smart people are really easy to communicate with. Dugu Mo already thought that she was acting low-key and didn't want to reveal her identity, but blocked Pomegranate in front.
Elder Leopard also slapped his head on the side: "Oh, if the eldest prince finds out that we have a think tank here, I'm afraid we have to get rid of it. Miss Zhou, are you trying to use pomegranates as a shield?"
Wu Zhe tilted his head on purpose: "Isn't it suitable? Because she is the official servant girl."
"Miss Zhou says it's suitable, so it's suitable. What is an official servant girl in front of a girl?" Dugu Mo was kind, and he did not hesitate to help her use the pomegranate as a shield...
"Then how about asking the young master to put on a little more appearance on weekdays?"
"It's easy to say." Dugu Mo smiled.
He likes the feeling of cheating others. Even if it's the maid next to him, this approaching sense of guilt is very interesting.
Dugu Mo, who was smiling and watching dramas while killing people in the Jin Kingdom, naturally had no psychological burden on such matters.
"If I'm not wrong, maybe some people who are right with you, young master, such as a certain prince, have already started to bribe Pomegranate." Wu Zhe said with a smile: "Young master, please pay attention recently. Does she have any private money?" Into the account, or received something.”…
She saw the movement from a distance, relying on her eyesight to be stronger than that of a moon-level saint. It was discovered that Pomegranate had collected other people's things.
"She dares? This is eating inside and out!" Old Bao became angry when he heard it.
Dugu Mo nodded, also with a serious face.
It's okay to bully your servant girl by yourself, but it's a big problem if your servant girl takes money from outsiders.
Wu Zhe said: "It's not a question of daring or not. What I'm afraid of is that greed makes people stupid. Maybe she is so stupid."
Baolao recalled the situation when Yu Shiliu went to the street, and he agreed in his heart: "Miss Zhou is right. If she is really smart, she will never confront the girl everywhere."
"Why did the clan's mansion assign me such a personal maid? It's really..." Dugu Mo said: "If we can send Miss Zhou, I will be very happy."
Old Leopard knocked on the side and said: "Master, you think too beautifully. An intelligent beauty like Miss Zhou is hard to find. Where did the clan's mansion come to find it? It is only because of the master's luck and fate that he can get it." Miss Zhou's help."
"If you find something wrong, young master, please don't expose her, so as not to startle the snake." Wu Zhe pretended not to hear Leopard Lao's smacking, and instead reminded Dugu Mo: "Maybe we can use her as a mouthpiece to tell the truth." Some wrong words are passed on to those who want to deceive us."
"It's another good way to use tricks." Dugu Mo said yes.
At night, each went back to his room to sleep.
Pomegranate waited for Dugu Mo to rest, and went back to the little bed by herself, tossing and turning in excitement, unable to fall asleep.
The golden jade phoenix hairpin was hidden in the crevice of her little bed, and she was afraid of being stolen. If it wasn't for fear of being discovered by Prince Mo, she would have taken it out and held it in her arms all night long.
Dugu Mo had already paid attention to her in his heart, so he naturally found that she was not sleeping soundly.
Could it be that there is really something to eat inside and outside? Dugu Mo had doubts in his heart, but he didn't speak out.
On the second day, Wu Zhe only got up three times a day, perfectly implementing the image of being lazy and lazy.
After an old woman brought hot water for washing at the door, she respectfully said: "Miss Zhou, a master tailor was waiting in the outer hall early, saying that he was arranged to tailor clothes for the girl."
"Make me clothes?"
"I heard that Prince Mo saw that the girl gave up a set of clothes to the second miss of the Chu family yesterday, so he ordered his servants to ask the best tailor shop in Wudu to have it tailored."
"Oh." Wu Zhe couldn't be suspicious, and went out after washing up.
The old tailor was indeed invited by Dugu Mo.
However, after taking Wu Zhe's body measurements and returning to the shop, the written measurement list was quickly copied and handed over to the head of Wu Kingdom's royal intelligence.
He checked it carefully, and couldn't help but sighed: "I can't be sure. Maybe it's because I have grown up in stature."
Inadvertently, Wu Zhe had escaped a disaster.
