After copying, he turned his neck and stretched his waist again.

When Xiaolian saw it, she immediately stepped forward to rub her shoulders.

Qian Yan looked up at the sky outside the window, it was already night.

At this time, Aunt Qin prepared warm water for Tanyan to wash her hands and face.

"Talented, the two concubines have sent someone here today, saying that it is the emperor's birthday tomorrow, and the two of them will hold a longevity banquet for the emperor in Zhaoyang Palace, because it is not a whole birthday, it will not be a big event, so everyone in the harem will celebrate the emperor together, and you will go to the banquet at night."

"The emperor's birthday? Why didn't you tell me earlier? Asked.

"Anyway, your craftsmanship is not good, in previous years, I was asked to do some embroidery work for the emperor, no, I have already embroidered the dragon pattern bag, you see?"

Xiaolian took out a bag from her sleeve pocket.

Qian Yan glanced at the bag in Xiaolian's hand, but it was beautifully embroidered.

It's just that if you send embroidery every year, you will inevitably lack novelty.

Tilting Yan: "You also said, in previous years, I gave you embroidery work, this is not the crime of deception, besides, it is not interesting to send this every year." ”

Those concubines will definitely give gifts tomorrow, but if you give an ordinary mirror bag, you won't be able to stand out among all kinds of gifts.

"Oh." Xiaolian is like a child who has done something wrong, "The slave maid and Aunt Qin saw that you have been able to copy books recently, so they didn't dare to disturb, and now it is definitely too late to prepare gifts temporarily." ”

In previous years, the master was like this, she originally wanted to prepare in advance, let the master worry less, but she didn't want to help.

Qian Yan knew that Xiaolian was a good person, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to help her prepare the mirror bag in advance, but Xiaolian was acting according to the style of the original owner.

She pondered for a moment and said, "If you go to the banquet tomorrow night, it means that there is still one day left, and it will be too late." ”

"Really?" Xiaolian's eyes immediately lit up, "What do you need, the slave will prepare!" ”

"You can go to the Shangshi Bureau and ask them to help me get a snake." Tilt Yan lightly commanded.

"What! Snake? Xiaolian's eyes widened, thinking that she was going to hurt people again.

Talented people don't want to release snake venom to bite which concubine tomorrow night, right?

So, Xiaolian hurriedly persuaded: "Talented, don't be confused, let's live a good life in the harem, can we not succeed?" ”

Yan Yan twitched the corners of his mouth, "You think too much, I used it to prepare a birthday gift for the emperor." ”

"Preparing a gift? Could it be that you want to make snake soup for the emperor? Or is it snake wine? This was asked by Aunt Qin, and she kindly reminded, "Talented, the emperor doesn't like to eat these things, you must not touch the emperor's mold." ”

Qian Yan rolled his eyes, "If I want to send food to the emperor, I can't make snake soup, isn't it fragrant chicken, duck, fish, beef and mutton?" ”

"And what are you going to do with a snake?" Xiaolian and Aunt Qin were both puzzled.

"Tell someone to get it, and you'll know the use when the time comes." Sell your face.

It's just that the time is pressed to prepare a birthday gift for the emperor temporarily, and the matter of copying the book and sending it for inspection will be slightly delayed.

Aunt Qin: "Do you want to live or die?" ”

Qian Yan thought for a moment, "If you die, you will be done." ”

Hearing that as long as they died, Aunt Qin and Xiaolian were relieved.

Otherwise, I thought that Tanyan would release snakes to bite the harem concubines and dig their own graves.

As for the Shangshi Bureau, since the newly appointed Liu Shangshi, whatever the Pear Hall needs, basically all it takes is to make some silver and squeak.

It's not much better than having money and no place to spend it, so it's not much better than what you want.

Liu Shangshi was efficient, and ordered someone to send a dead snake to the Tilting Pear Hall early the next morning.

"Cairen, the Shangshi Bureau sent the snake, take a look!" Aunt Qin roared outside the door.

Qian Yan was reading a book in the house, and was busy going to the yard to take a look.

The snake was neither big nor small, just half a palm's thickness, and about one meter two in length.

She went and fetched a pair of scissors and cut seven inches down from the snake's belly.

The living snake is still afraid, but the dead snake has nothing to fear.

In her previous life, for medical research, she often had to dissect some dead mice, other animals, and human bodies.

No one is born to do this, so naturally they were scared at first.

Over time, you get used to it.

Tilt Yan cut open the belly of the snake and pulled out the white flesh of the snake's belly wrapped around the intestines, with a little blood on it.

This is the fat of snakes, and this fat fat is the most useful.

The fat is quite translucent in the sun.

Qian Yan nodded with satisfaction, "It's not bad, reward them with more silver." ”

After Aunt Qin responded, she went to reward the silver of the servants of the Shang Food Bureau.

Xiaolian was instructed to help Tanyan burn the fire.

Qian Yan first refined the snake oil into liquid oil, and then found a small square ink-colored copper box, tied a piece of cotton gauze with a thin rope on the copper box, and filtered the snake oil.

The oil filtration is relatively slow, and after about half an hour, it can be regarded as filtering all the snake oil.

There were two copper boxes in total, and one bottle was kept for his own use.

There was also a bottle, which was intended to be given to the emperor.

After it was installed, she closed the lid of the copper box and waited for it to cool and solidify.

In November, it was already very cold in the capital.

At dusk, when she opened the copper box, she saw that all the snake oil inside had condensed into a white and flawless paste.

And just like that, the snake ointment was ready.

At that moment, she dipped some of her fingertips and wiped them on her hands.

Recently, she has been copying books and holding pens for a long time, and several fingers of her right hand are slightly red.

It was precisely because of this that she remembered to make snake oil ointment.

Plus autumn and winter, the weather is dry.

Even if the skin is good, it will be dry and wrinkled in winter, and there is a possibility of frostbite, so it is best to use this as a hand balm.

From a beauty point of view, snake oil is a natural skin care product, which has a good penetration, moisturizing and repairing effect on the skin, refreshing and non-greasy, which can enhance the anti-wrinkle and anti-aging of the skin, and make the skin fair and delicate and elastic.

From a medical point of view, snake oil has a good therapeutic and restorative effect on bedsores caused by fire, water, burns, chapping, eczema and long-term bed rest, and it can also prevent and treat chilblains.

If some Chinese herbs are added and then processed by special technology, they can be made into traditional Chinese medicine.

Aunt Qin and Xiaolian looked at the snake oil ointment on their faces, and their hands suddenly became fairer and more tender.

Xiaolian smiled and said, "Cairen, your hands are already white, and after applying this ointment, your slender jade hands are even whiter and more tender, just like the tips of the most tender bamboo shoots." ”

Hearing this, he raised his eyebrows, and immediately gave this hand balm a name close to ancient times: slender jade hand balm.

Immediately afterwards, Aunt Qin immediately dressed up and went to the banquet.

Aunt Qin was skillful and quickly combed the single snail bun for Qian Yan.

Thinking that everyone in the harem will definitely wear heavy makeup, dress up in a fancy way, and put on a different scheming makeup.

At the base of the eyelashes, a super-thin eyeliner is drawn with a light-colored dai.

It's like drawing without drawing, but it makes the eyes magnify naturally.

For her lips, she used a light pink rose lip paper with a vague lip makeup effect.

The key point of scheming makeup is to start lightly, so that no makeup is better than makeup, and it sets off a natural and good complexion.

As for her face, her skin was already very white and complex, so she didn't have powder and rouge.

After finishing her makeup, she wore a blue pipa blouse and a soft wool brocade cloak, and took Xiaolian and Aunt Qin to the Zhaoyang Palace for a banquet.

When I got there, there were several chariots parked at the foot of the steps.

As he stepped on the steps, he saw that the hall was brightly lit.
