Chapter 29 For the Beauty, Lin Ergongzi tried to mix incense
It is the middle of spring, although the small garden of the forest house has not been deliberately cared for, but the flowers and trees left behind are retained, and the red and white shades are blooming lively.
Lin Shaoxuan took the jasper flute, and Yulang's little scholar held the piano and moved to the garden together.
I can't hide it, Lin Shaoxuan is not afraid of offering ugliness, holding the jade flute horizontally and blowing a red bean song.
Yulang listened attentively and frowned slightly. The music is good, and the flute is good, but the flute player ...... It's kind of bad.
After Lin Shaoxuan's performance, he was cold and a little embarrassed. Fortunately, although Yulang people are light, they are not unsophisticated, and when they saw him finish blowing, they didn't comment on his skills, but only asked him to sing it again.
This requirement is not difficult to meet, Lin Shaoxuan opened his mouth and sang a lovesick song with sadness and softness.
Yulang listened to the music, and sure enough, his eyebrows stretched, and he couldn't help but take the piano to accompany him. The sound of the piano is tactful, the singing is lingering, and it is indescribably beautiful.
"Thank you Brother Lin for your advice, Jinyu should go back." Jiang Jinyu didn't like the burning gaze of Lin Ergongzi when he looked at him, and somehow, when he looked at him like that, he always felt a surge of heat and was easy to blush.
"Jinyu walk slowly, brother, I still have something to ask."
What are you kidding, you haven't touched your little hands, and you haven't got your watch, how can you just let people go? I waited three days to see you, but I can't leave.
"Brother Lin, please speak." Jiang Jinyu is worthy of the name of the jade prince, standing among the flowers, just like the Zhilan jade tree, comparing the delicacy of all the spring flowers. When those cold eyes focused on looking at people, they seemed to have a vortex, which could suck people's souls, and Lin Shaoxuan's soul had already been sucked into most of it, until Jiang Jinyu couldn't help but ask again.
"Brother Lin?"
"Oh, Jinyu, my brother wants to ask you......" Lin Shaoxuan used his brain, and his eyes rolled and he really remembered something.
"You don't love incense, how can I smell a faint fragrance from you? Could it be Jinyu, you bring your own fragrance? ”
After that, I have to come forward and smell it.
Jiang Jinyu took a step back, her face was really red, and she quickly took off her sachet, "It's the fragrance of this." ”
Lin Shaoxuan took it in his hand, and sure enough, there was a faint bamboo fragrance on his face, mixed with other incense, sniffed carefully, and put the sachet into his bag.
Jin Yu saw him robbing like this, and was about to get it back, when he heard Lin Er Gongzi whisper behind his back, "Well, fresh bamboo leaves, jasmine, arborvitae, ambergris......"
How does he know? In his previous life, he had many industries, including perfumes and cosmetics, and he naturally knew a lot. He also went to France to study and tried perfumes and essential oils using the ancient distillation method.
"Hey, Brother Lin also understands this?" Jiang Jinyu's eyes lit up, and she couldn't care about the sachet anymore, so she took the initiative to come over. It seems that he is not only a music idiot, but also a music idiot.
"Slightly clear, Jinyu is interested, we can communicate."
Lin Shaoxuan is happy, he doesn't have to copy other people's tunes, and he has a common language with the fairy brother, so he can often hook up by exchanging incense recipes.
The two men, one cold and the other floating, gathered together to discuss the making of incense.
"There are nine kinds of incense, which can calm the nerves, can be smoked, can also repel insects, fitness, Jinyu does not like incense, only loves to make incense cakes. I have a lot of various fragrant cakes made in the past at home, and I have time to ask Brother Lin to taste one or two. ”
Lin Shaoxuan talked about the fragrance, what jasmine should be picked in the early morning before sunrise to maintain the best quality, what plum blossoms should be used in the first snow when the flowers are not melted, what lemon orange peel can be used to make incense, Yulang heard a lot of inspiration, I really want to try it immediately.
The two of them walked around the garden and discussed the aroma and preparation method of each flower. Lin Shaoxuan This is the real material, not plagiarism, each fragrance is the truth, Yulang listened thoughtfully.
"Is there really such an incense? Without a smoker, just one drop can stay fragrant for a day, and it won't contaminate your clothes? ”
"Of course there is, but it's a pity that my brother still lacks one thing and can't make it." Lin Shaoxuan was talking about perfume. Steaming flower dew and making essential oils are simple, but perfume requires alcohol, and rice wine at this time is not good.
"It's a shame......"
Seeing Jin Yu's disappointed eyes, Lin Shaoxuan couldn't help it. Water's edge, white clothes, jade flute, beauty, reality and dream overlap, Lin Shaoxuan's eyes were blurred, and his hand stretched out uncontrollably to the beautie's clothes.
The hand fell into the air, and he looked at Jinyu's suspicious eyes.
"Ah, there's a little worm here, brother will brush it off for you......" his hand swept across Yulang's shirt, sweeping across his chest, as thin as he had seen in a dream.
Yulang took a step back, a little uncomfortable, and couldn't help but be curious about the perfume that Lin Shaoxuan just said.
"Brother Lin, what do you need to make this incense? I don't know if my little brother will be lucky enough to see it. ”
"This ...... Let me think. ”
It is not difficult to make a cauldron for distillation, and you can also try to distill it with rice wine to see if you can get it, but it takes a long time. How can you find a chance to meet this pleasing beauty often?
"Brother Lin, the younger brother has written a "Incense Language", which records some commonly used spices and incense recipes, I wonder if it will help Brother Lin?"
Haha, it's really sleepy to send a pillow, so I'll make an appointment with you by discussing perfumery.
"Thank you, I am missing a detailed reference, Jinyu will be convenient one day, brother, I will go to your house to get it."
"I'll send it here, just by the way, take a look at Brother Lin's incense."
The two men discussed the spices and fragrant flowers that the woman loved for a long time, and only let Jinyu go until the red sun was slanting westward.
The frenzy of meeting slowly subsided after Jinyu left, Lin Shaoxuan lay on the bed at night, it was rare that there was no one around to disturb him, and he couldn't help but think about his ancient life these days. I'm a man now, I like to be a man, there are so many beautiful women like me, who should I choose?
Alas, if only a beautiful woman like Jinyu appeared in front of me. Lin Shaoxuan couldn't help but take out the bedtime reading materials and read them carefully, sleep, I will go to receive my sister back tomorrow.
Lin Shaoxuan went out early the next day, and sure enough, not long after sitting down, Xinya came back with Zhang Zongxian, and brought back a cart of gifts.
personally sent someone to check the innocence of Lin Ergongzi, and the little prince sincerely accepted him now. The three of them talked and laughed for a long time, had lunch, and the couple went back hand in hand. Lin Shaoxuan is such a small house, people will definitely not stay overnight.
A few days later, Zhang Zongxian returned to Beijing to hand in the task, waiting to accept the canonization of the prince, and then the Xinya sister was the outer room of the little prince, and the second son of Lin also became the eldest brother of the prince of Chun.
The little prince is gone, Xin Yake will be empty, what business should he do? Let Xinya worry about it herself, Lin Shaoxuan is now bent on concocting perfume to please his beauty.
Lin Shaoxuan wrote and drew at home, made a sketch, and went to a nearby blacksmith shop to find someone to build an ancient simple still. Fortunately, just use distillation, just boil the water and wine underneath and then condense and collect. Lin Shaoxuan didn't do anything else this day, just stared at the blacksmith shop, watching them build a cauldron, a few iron pipes, and make a few collection cans.
When this set of things was taken back to the Lin Mansion, it aroused the curiosity of several girls, and everyone couldn't see the famous hall when they watched it, so they stopped looking at it, but they were ordered by Lin Shaoxuan to buy wine, burn the fire, fetch water, and were busy all over the place.
After a while, tick-tock, a lot of things were collected, Lin Shaoxuan took it and smelled it, and tasted it again. Phew, bitter! Phew, spicy! Hey, this wine tastes good. Lin Shaoxuan wrote down the production process of this wine, and continued to make various attempts. Before you know it, it's been a busy day.
Whew, that's it, it's ready to use. Lin Shaoxuan looked at the pure liquid collected in the bottle, and then sniffed the familiar smell of alcohol, and let out a deep breath.
Beauty, I, Lin Shaoxuan, have worked hard for you! I hope you don't disappoint me.
After finishing the alcohol, steam the essence. Lin Shaoxuan arranged for Yahuan to buy all kinds of flowers, and at the same time slipped a small retort.
Busy, Lin Shaoxuan has been so busy these days that he doesn't know how to lift his head, and he didn't even notice that Xinya came back.
"Brother, what are you doing?" Xinya was sent back to the Lin Mansion by Zhang Zongxian, and there was no one in the house except the concierge, so she followed the voice to find the side room in the backyard.
It's not lively in the side room, the fire is burning, the water is added, and there are people holding small bottles to collect something.
"Ya'er is back? Come, try my brother's new rose hydrosol, you can drink it with water, and you can also use it to apply to your face, three times a day, your skin will be moisturized and white soon, so that your husband doesn't love enough, haha! ”
"Brother, where did you get such a good thing? I heard that Concubine Yang of the former dynasty loved to make rose baths! Xinya took the porcelain vase and sniffed it deeply, and couldn't put it down.
Lin Shaoxuan Khan! Even if roses are not worth mentioning to you, but brother, I still have to make perfume for Jinyu, who has time to get you a rose bath.
"Ya'er, why are you back? Don't say a word to my brother, I'll pick you up. Lin Shaoxuan hurriedly diverted the topic. I can't say any more, I still have a lot of things to do. Rose essential oil is just one of them, and the ones that are suitable for men are orange leaves, cedarwood, and mint, and there are many more things to do.
I don't know what fragrance Jinyu likes, Lin Shaoxuan plans to make a few more, there must be a suitable Yulang for me.
"Cong Lang went back to Beijing, and he just sent someone to send me back. He left me two people and I wanted them to live at home as well. ”
"Of course it's fine, you can arrange it yourself. This is your home, and my brother doesn't come often. Lin Shaoxuan is not polite to Xinya, he has been so busy all day long that he has been soaking here all day to burn the fire, and he doesn't even have time to go to the Qinglou, and his home is only a place to sleep.
Seeing that Lin Shaoxuan didn't know what he was tossing, Xinya couldn't intervene, so she just had to go back to rest, and just took two steps, she was stopped by Lin Shaoxuan.
"That's right, Ya'er, you have a day off, and tomorrow I'll go everywhere, our shop has been closed for a few days, you can see what to do."
"Okay, Ya'er got it. I've been thinking about it for a while these days, and I'll check it around tomorrow and talk to him in detail when he's free. ”
Yuan Xinya took the small bottle of rose hydrosol back to try it, and Lin Shaoxuan was busy in the dark for several days. On this day, I finally took three porcelain vases and laughed happily: "It's done!" ”
