Seeing Miaomiao and Mao Xining leaving alone, Mrs. Hou was going to be angry. Mrs. Bai persuaded her a few words, but Mrs. Hou responded with her mouth, but in fact, she didn't think so, and she still complained about Miaomiao and Mao Xining.

Of course, Mrs. Bai saw that her daughter was perfunctory to herself, and she had the heart to persuade again, but a lot of time had passed, and Mrs. Bai still had to go home, and she was not the only daughter of Mrs. Hou.

Mrs. Bai specially substituted, and Mrs. Hou went out so far to pick up wonderful things, and her son was a little dissatisfied. If she returns to the capital, she will have to delay in the Hou Mansion for a long time, and it is indeed not suitable to go home.

Mrs. Bai went home, but Mrs. Hou did not let Lu Nanxi go. She expressed her dissatisfaction with landing Nanxi, and cursed Miaomiao and Mao Xining in various ways.

Although Lu Nanxi felt that Mrs. Hou was too undecent, she also agreed with Mrs. Hou, scolding Miaomiao and Mao Xining.

The fake mother and daughter, like rats in the gutter, silently cursed Miaomiao, while thinking of how to deal with Miaomiao.

And Miaomiao and Mao Xining also met the girls and mothers-in-law who were waiting to be selected. Miaomiao is actually not very sure about choosing people, she is still very self-aware.

The girls she chose before were all loyal and capable. But those are generally favored by her, or they are picked by Huihui and Gu Nianyuan.

But at this time, these maids in the Hou Mansion are not familiar with Miaomiao at all, let alone have any favors for them. So if she wants to pick the right person, Miaomiao feels a little powerless.

But Miaomiao has a particularly good advantage, that is, she never does it, she basically can't do those things that she is not good at. Miaomiao also knows how to make good use of people, she first asked Mao Xining which ones are more capable, and then asked Huihui to help choose.

Let Mao Xining choose some of them first, because Mao Xining understands the Hou Mansion, and if she can do this kind of thing, she will definitely not lie.

But one layer deeper, Miaomiao didn't let Mao Xining pick it. It's not that she's afraid that Mao Xining will trap her, but it's indispensable to guard against others.

Although Mao Xining has been very good to Miaomiao so far, after all, it is the first day of meeting, and it is too unreasonable to really pour out her heart and lungs for her.

Huihui's ability to see people, Miaomiao still trusts it very much. The rose and the maid who stayed in the flower are good. Miaomiao asked Huihui to pick people, and also gave a very reasonable reason.

"These people on the left and right have to be managed by Huihui, Huihui, you should first pick out some good management and clever ones among the people pointed out by the second aunt."

Miao Miao said this, but it was not without purpose. Hui Hui tunes, teaching people is also very powerful. Not to mention the flowers under their noses, even Honeysuckle and they were also taught very well by Huihui.

Over the past few years, Honeysuckle has gradually mastered the affairs of Zhuangzi. The walls of Zhuangzi have also been largely completed, and the cotton has been properly planted in the fields, just waiting to ripen.

Although they are already smarter than others, and they themselves have a good foundation under the teaching of their mothers, but the management of Zhuangzi is still inseparable from Huihui's teaching. In such a short period of time, Huihui has taught a proper steward, which is enough to prove Huihui's ability.

Miaomiao directly selects people and leaves it to Huihui. Afraid that Mao Xining would think too much, she herself pulled Mao Xining into the inner room.

"Second aunt, I have a gift for you, do you like it?"

Miaomiao is really grateful to Mao Xining for taking care of herself. She took out a delicate gift box from the package she brought and handed it to Mao Xining.

Looking at the exquisite packaging, the gift box is worth a lot of money at a glance. Mao Xining was a little embarrassed.

"It's true, our elders haven't given you a gift yet, but it's your turn to give me a gift first."

Miaomiao saw that Mao Xining did not mean to refuse strictly, and smiled affectionately at Mao Xining.

"I like Aunt II so much, you take such good care of me, I want to give you a gift to thank you."

Saying that Miaomiao deliberately flattered, she smiled at Mao Xining, "I can't hide it, I haven't prepared to see a suitable gift for everyone, this, and ask the second aunt to keep it secret for me for the time being." ”

There are common secrets, and they can always close the distance between each other, and Miao Miao deliberately used a careful machine. And it is also necessary for her to let Mao Xining keep it secret.

Seriously, originally Miaomiao, I didn't plan to give gifts to the Hou Mansion people. Because she was too grateful to Mao Xining, she impulsively gave a gift. Although she didn't regret it, she also reacted that it was not appropriate to give it to Mao Xining.

However, although Mao Xining seems to be not talking much, out of safety, Miaomiao still added, and also took the opportunity to narrow the distance between the two.

Sure enough, when Mao Xining heard Miaomiao say this, she laughed happily, and her eyes became closer to Miaomiao. She even smiled and nodded Miaomiao's forehead and said gently.

"Okay, the second aunt won't tell anyone."

Seeing Mao Xining like this, she got a positive answer, and Miaomiao also laughed happily.

Having said that, Mao Xining no longer hesitated, gently picked up the gift box pushed by Miaomiao, and slowly opened it.

"What is this?" Mao Xining has been in charge of the Hou Mansion for so many years, and her popularity is good, and she is not uncommon with all kinds of treasures. But when he saw the glass bottle in the box, which was as bright as the starry sky, Mao Xining's eyes lit up suddenly.

"It's a deep-sea quicksand perfume."

Mao Xining still knows the perfume, but, "Why is this so beautiful, it looks so bright, just like the night sky." ”

Mao Xining was particularly cautious, picked up the perfume, and looked at the starry bottle inside, with surprise and love in his eyes.

"Ah, this one will still flow, move, and be more beautiful. It is suspected that the Milky Way fell for nine days, and the legendary Tianhe is such a scene. ”

Mao Xining touched the bottle and looked at it like this, then look at it, I can't like it. After a while, she came to her senses and looked at Miaomiao with some embarrassment.

"This perfume must be very precious, I'll buy it with you."

"Second aunt, what are you talking about?" Miao Miao shook her head and said dissatisfiedly: "I said that this is a gift from me, and no matter how precious it is, it can't compare to your care for me." ”

"Okay, then the second aunt will accept it cheekily." When Mao Xining saw Miaomiao say this, she really liked it, so she could only nod and accept it. However, she had already decided in her heart that she must make up for it in other aspects.

After Mao Xining made a plan in his heart, he no longer struggled, and turned his head to talk about what he was most concerned about.

"This Tianhe bottle, where did you get Miaomiao?"

Miao Miao was a little speechless, obviously a deep-sea quicksand bottle. Why did it become a Tianhe bottle again? However, Miaomiao did not correct it, but answered Mao Xining's question seriously.

"Second aunt, this is what I did myself."

"You did it yourself? Oh my God? Mao Xining's eyes widened, and he felt as if he was dreaming.

"You made this Tianhe bottle yourself?"

Miao Miao nodded and affirmed: "Actually, it's not all made by me, the bottles were bought, and the springs were made by me after drawing drawings and discussing with craftsmen." Only the quicksand inside is made by myself. ”

Mao Xining listened carefully to the wonderful words and thought that he had grasped the key point.

"The Tianhe inside is made by you, and this Tianhe bottle is made by you. Miaomiao, you're really..."

"You're so powerful, you say you're so good." Mao Xining was almost impressed by the wonder of death, and he was a little incomparable.

Miaomiao was a little ashamed of being praised by Mao Xining, she also has a golden finger to be so powerful. Miaomiao hurriedly changed the topic, pointed to the perfume, and said to Mao Xining.

"This perfume can be sprayed on the body by pressing here, which is much better than the previous perfume bottle. Do you guys give it a try and see if you like the taste? ”

"Such a beautiful Tianhe, isn't it a pity that the bottle is sprayed." Mao Xining looked at the perfume bottle in his hand, very reluctant, but he still couldn't hold back the curiosity in his heart, and pressed the nozzle according to what Miaomiao said.

"It's really out, it's so beautiful!" Mao Xining looked at the shiny perfume that erupted with the press in amazement, and then she took a deep breath.

"It smells so good."

This deep-sea quicksand perfume not only looks like the sea, but also smells like the ocean.

The top notes are okra seeds, the middle notes are light sea salt, and the base notes are sage.

The scent is full of sunshine and beach, and the unique smell of the sea is occasionally mixed with the aroma of trees, as if you can really walk anywhere with it, as if you are stepping on the waves.

The waves beat the layers of white dresses, accompanied by the fresh air filled with sea salt and waves. The mineral notes of the cliffs are invigorating, blending with the rustic woody scent of sage. Refreshing, lively, and cheerful.

When it was developed with Mei Niang, everyone was very satisfied with the final fragrance. Everyone has always felt that the smell of this deep-sea quicksand perfume is very fresh. Even if there is something that you don't like that much, it's hard for anyone to hate it.

Although it was a recipe for buying, after all, it was made by myself after several experiments. So seeing Mao Xining smelling this smell so intoxicated, Miaomiao was also very happy.

After Mao Xining sniffed intoxicated for a while, he suddenly held Miaomiao's hand with bright eyes.

"Good boy, do you still have this perfume in your shop? How much money does my aunt want. ”

After speaking, Mao Xining's expectant gaze looked at Miaomiao. As long as this perfume is a woman, she can't resist it, Mao Xining has already planned to give it to a friend, and give it to that lady.

Miaomiao shook her head, breaking Mao Xining's expectations. "This fragrance of perfume flowers can be sold if you want to, but you don't sell it if you send it, this material is too precious, and the method is very rare, and you can only get a bottle after many failures."

The quicksand in this perfume is a recipe specially bought by Miaomiao, although modern quicksand perfumes are particularly simple. However, materials that are unique to modern times cannot be used in ancient times, and it takes many processes to make them from ancient materials.

And the pigment that dyes the quicksand is also very rare, for example, this bottle of blue deep-sea quicksand, the dye is the particularly cherished lapis lazuli.

Lapis lazuli was known in ancient China as Xuanlin, Jinjing, Jinyu, Qingdai and so on. Buddhism calls it the Vedali or Bi Liuli, which is one of the testimonies of the cultural exchange between the East and the West in ancient times. Its color is dark blue, violet blue, sky blue, green blue, etc., and is the main raw material of natural blue pigments. Lapis lazuli was loved by emperors for its color like the sky. The court clothes of the four officials of the Qing Dynasty were lapis lazuli.

Corresponding to the popularity of lapis lazuli, this lapis lazuli is very expensive. A small piece requires the same amount of gold. Although it doesn't take much to make it into quicksand, it is particularly easy to fail if it can't stand it, and after several experiments, it really costs a lot.

And this lapis lazuli is still a priceless thing, and it is not easy to buy it with money. Lapis lazuli is particularly precious in both ancient and modern times, and it is even more cost-effective to buy it in the salted fish system than in ancient times. And it's very difficult to buy, Miaomiao has gone through a lot of hardships, and it took many people to buy it.

There is also the spring that makes the nozzle of the perfume bottle, which is also a big problem. Although springs are easy to make, there is no other suitable material in ancient times, so iron can only be used. In ancient times, there were restrictions on the use of iron in civilian homes.

Therefore, it was destined that the spring could not be popularized, and all the materials that could be obtained were spent, and only a hundred bottles of this special quicksand perfume were made. Miao Miao sealed eighty bottles in space. Before coming, I gave Mrs. Qingniang Yi and Mrs. Xue, and the princess Zhao Nian'an a bottle each. I only took fifteen bottles to the capital.

These fifteen bottles can't be sold, but they're of great use.

"Don't hide it from my aunt, although the materials are extremely precious, I do still have some stock in my hands. But I plan to keep these for myself, and first of all, a large part of them is intended to be given to the masters in the palace. ”

Miaomiao looked at Mao Xining and explained seriously: "I was rewarded by the palace before, and I don't know if my aunt has heard of it." ”

Seeing Mao Xining nodding to indicate that she knew, Miaomiao said again: "The ladies in the palace have rewarded me with many things, and their awards have also brought me a lot of convenience. I am very grateful to these nobles in my heart, and the Queen Mother also said in her decree before, I hope I can develop more items. ”

"It's not useful, but I want to express my heart. That's why I made a special batch of perfumes and wanted to dedicate them to them. ”

Mao Xiran nodded suddenly in realization, affirming the wonderful approach!

"You know how to be grateful so much, the nobles in the palace will be very pleased. And if you give it up, they'll like it too. ”

After listening to Miaomiao's explanation, although I felt a little regretful. But Mao Xining didn't have a wonderful voice, but became closer to her.

Such precious things were actually given to herself, and she treated herself so sincerely, she must not be wolf-hearted and live up to her sincerity.

"Really? Do they really like this? Hearing Mao Xining say this, Miaomiao was a little happy.

"Such a good thing, where is there anyone who doesn't like it? I can guarantee that the ladies in the palace will love your perfume. ”

Miao Miao thought for a moment, and then said, "Will grandmother like it?" I had seen her old man so dignified, and I was afraid that she would not like such things. ”

Mao Xining gave Miaomiao a positive answer, "Mother will like it, she likes such a dazzling thing the most." ”

Miaomiao nodded and pondered for a moment, "Then let's also give grandmother perfume, what about my mother and father, and my second uncle, what do they like." ”

Miao Miao thought for a while, don't suffer from widowhood, since she gave Mao Xining, let's send it to everyone, so she doesn't lack much silver now, and she can't buy the high-energy items needed by the system for the time being.

Your mother will love this perfume too... After thinking about it, Mao Xining still didn't say this, but patiently helped Miaomiao analyze it.

"It stands to reason that we have just recognized our relatives, you should wait, we elders give you gifts, you don't have to give gifts. But since you are going to send this perfume to the palace, such a rare object will definitely come out. ”

"You have such a rare thing in your hand, and if you don't let the old lady know about it, it will be harmful to your reputation. As for your mother, you can send perfume bottles, or if you don't want to send some jewelry, your father can send some medicinal herbs, calligraphy and paintings. As for your second uncle in my family, you can send whatever you want, and if you give him some tea and wine, he will like that. ”

"As for the juniors below, the girls' families can send some female red needlework, and the boys can send some books."

Mao Xining is really planning seriously for Miaomiao, and he didn't even perfunctory about his own family. Of course, Miaomiao also saw the sincerity of the other party and listened very attentively.

After everything was said, Huihui also picked a good person. Miaomiao and Mao Xining followed Huihui out to have a look, and Miaomiao was quite satisfied. I just said it, and I did it, and I chose the person.

At this time, it is not early. It was time for dinner, Mao Xining instructed the people to serve Miaomiao well, and then got up to say goodbye.

Soon after Mao Xining left, someone came to bring food to Miaomiao.

The meal was particularly sumptuous, and it was served in the same way, filling the large round tables in the wonderful room.

A piece of osmanthus fish sticks, a bunny with eight treasures, and ginger fish fillets

And spiced pigeon, sweet and sour lotus root, as well as lotus leaf soup, plum blossom cake, fragrant herb drink.

Meat and vegetarian, sweet and refreshing are available, all kinds of colors and flavors, and they are definitely worth a lot. Even the japonica porridge that I eat is very expensive.

Miao Miao originally wanted to eat with Huihui and Rose, but Huihui resolutely refused, and went to get the meal with another big girl, Fleur.

According to Fleur, there are also examples of maids like them. First-class two meat and two vegetables, and a bowl of soup, sometimes the master makes too much, and can add something else,

As for the roses, they are second-class, they are one meat and two vegetarians, and then there are only vegetarian dishes. Miaomiao is not only a little staggering, this Hou Mansion is really rich, and even the maids' food is so good.

Seeing that Huihui and Rose had their share, Miaomiao asked them to go down to eat and leave themselves alone. I have to say that the chefs of the Hou Mansion have really good skills. Although there are few seasonings, they skillfully use the flavors of various ingredients.

Miaomiao everyone likes to eat, and the favorite food is osmanthus fish sticks and eight treasure rabbit dices.

After eating, Huihui came to introduce Miaomiao to these new maids.

The big girl with Huihui is called Furong, and at this moment, she is being looked at by Miaomiao, and she is nervous.

Huihui said that she was replaced from Mao Xining because she was sick, but this is not the case.
