Li Jingzhong told himself that Yang Yuhuan wanted a very special gift on his birthday, and Zhen Qian had already thought of giving this peerless beauty something.

No one is perfect, even the four beauties in history are no exception, it is said that Xi Shi's feet are very big and he likes to wear long skirts that are dragged on the ground, and he thinks that Xi Shi's "light lotus step" is beautiful. Minchan's ears are one big and one small, and in order to cover up, she pierced her ears and brought earrings. Wang Zhaojun's shoulders are high and low, so he likes to wear cloaks, and later generations said that the shoulder pads came from Wang Zhaojun's time.

Yang Yuhuan seems to have a fox smell, and I don't know if it's true.

Legend has it that one day, the peony blossomed and bloomed beautifully. Yang Yuhuan approached to admire, and suddenly saw that all the flowers had closed their petals and bowed their heads ....... Later, when it was spread, good people said: It was her gorgeous that even the peony was ashamed of herself. "Shame flower" spread, of course, you can also think about it from another angle, as for whether it is true, I don't know.

It's just that Yang Yuhuan likes to soak in the hot springs in Huaqing Pool, this matter is true, as for whether the perfume was invented, and whether the hot spring water has the effect of treating fox odor is nonsense.

Women are born with a love of beauty, and their appearance, their figure, and their smiles and cheeks have been carefully carved, including their own speech. This is nothing to do, women are pleasing to themselves, especially the emperor who has three thousand beauties in the harem, and the concubine doesn't want to tie the emperor's heart firmly under her pomegranate skirt.

Yang Yuhuan did a good job in this point, and almost succeeded, Zhen Qian was not worth it for Yang Yuhuan, this is the sadness of Yang Yuhuan's final fate.

A box of six different floral perfumes, this is Zhen Qian's gift to Yang Yuhuan for this year's birthday, these perfumes are going to be taken to the Japanese Kingdom to give to the female emperor, now Yang Yuhuan is cheap, I believe she will like to die.

As for Li Jingzhong's gift, a piece of mutton fat jade is far from enough, since it is a gift, different people have different ways to treat it, and giving gold, silver and jewelry to Yang Yuhuan is blind. Zhen Qian really doesn't know what people like Li Jingzhong, but Zhen Qian is going to give him a carload of wine, and he seems to remember that Li Heng liked to drink when he was the prince, which can be regarded as a long-term investment!

When Zhen Qian prepared the gifts and returned to the private room again, there were many more people in the private room, Zhen Qian took a look at it and pretended that nothing had happened, sat down in front of Li Jingzhong, and put the prepared brocade box in front of him: "Father-in-law Li, this is Zhen's birthday gift for the concubine, and please take a look?" ”

Li Jingzhong opened the brocade box and saw six blue and white porcelain bottles neatly stacked inside, with a few small characters on them, "Jasmine, plum blossom, orchid, gardenia...... this is the essence from the Western Regions?" Zhen, isn't this too simple......", Li Jingzhong kindly reminded.

"This is not a fragrance from the Western Regions, but a unique perfume of the Zhen family, which is more pure than the fragrance from the Western Regions, Gonggong Li can smell it if you don't believe it?"

The incense culture of the Tang Dynasty was very developed, and it has already penetrated into all aspects of life, and spices have played an important role in dishes and wines, beauty decorations, clothes and bedding, home courtyards, and medical prescriptions. In terms of religious life, the Tang Dynasty was a prosperous stage of the development of Buddhism, and the Buddhist incense rituals from the country of incense were borrowed and absorbed by Taoism and sacrifices, and the shadow of spices appeared everywhere in the cultivation, worship and ritual activities of Buddha and Taoist believers.

There are many kinds of spices, mainly agarwood, wisteria, elemic, camphor, Suhexiang, benzoin, Java, frankincense, myrrh, cloves, green wood, patchouli, jasmine oil, rose perfume, tulip, ammad, Zhenzhen incense and other varieties. Spices were the Tugong products of many states and counties in the Tang Dynasty, among which musk was the most common Tugong product. However, most spices, especially those of high quality, relied mainly on Hu merchants to operate the spice trade in China.

Tang Dynasty spices are not only rich in variety and wide in use, but also have great development in incense production technology. From the form of incense, there are balms, cakes, powders, balms, pills, and perfumes; From the point of view of use, there are coating, internal wearing, wearing, incineration, etc. The functions of incense products are more diversified and refined, and there are many different formulas of incense products for the same purpose, and the variety and dosage of spices are quite particular. Among them, incense and incense were the new trend of incense in the Tang Dynasty, and incense was a new way of burning incense.

The large-scale use of spices undoubtedly contributed to the extravagance and comparison of the Tang Dynasty aristocracy. On the one hand, it enriches the material life of the Tang people, improves the quality of life, and also brings spiritual comfort to the Tang people.

In Zhen Qian's opinion, the flavors from the Western Regions are nothing at all, just the inferior flavors made by squeezing the petals and combining the stronger liquors have been sold at sky-high prices in the Tang Dynasty.

Zhen Qian couldn't tolerate counterfeit and shoddy products running rampant in Datang at all, earning the hard-earned money of the Tang people, and it was also the duty of a young man with professional ethics like Zhen Qian to make money, so he decided to let the beauty-loving Tang Dynasty beauties enjoy the price of the future generations in advance, no! It is the embodiment of quality and beauty.

Of course, it is not easy to make perfume, first of all, it is not easy to make raw materials, flower beds are indispensable, and the flowers of the four seasons can only be picked once a year, which is destined to be expensive.

Zhen Qian has the best distillation technology in this era and a complete set of marketing methods, but what he lacks now is time, so it is not realistic to sell perfume to the entire Datang. Now that it's okay, with the most beautiful and noble woman in Datang using her own perfume, it is impossible for Zhen Qian not to sell the perfume at a sky-high price.

Li Jingzhong followed Zhen Qian's prompt, dropped a small drop of perfume on the back of his hand, put it under his nose and smelled it, and immediately the orange-peel smile on his face fell down, and his eyes became extremely hot, "Director Zhen, how much more perfume do you have, can you give some to the miscellaneous family?" ”

The eunuch's greed was vividly expressed on Li Jingzhong's face, I knew that this guy would be insatiable, and if the eunuch who was full of turmoil didn't like perfume, it would be intolerable!

"Father-in-law Li is not in a hurry, listen to Zhen slowly talk about the ...... of making this perfume", Zhen Qian didn't want to give the perfume to the dead eunuch for nothing, how could he have hung up his appetite, his expression suddenly became solemn and said: "This small bottle of perfume gathers the essence between heaven and earth, water alone needs four kinds, rootless water between heaven and earth, after taking it, it should be placed in a jade bottle and buried deep in the ground, nine hundred and eighty-one days, and then take the water of the first snow, the water of the morning dew and the ice water of the Tianshan Mountains, these are still secondary ......, Secondly, the floral fragrance used can not be sloppy at all, you must find two or eight virgins to pick the petals of noon and seed, extract the essence of one in ten thousand, even if it is an acre of flower beds, it may not be able to extract a drop, this is the real essence of perfume! ”
