Chapter 04 Jiang Meixiang
I slept in Yang's house at noon, Song Zhengtian left after eating, as a county commander, he still has a lot of things to do, he has been here for many years, and he can't say that he will be transferred next year.
In the afternoon, follow Yang's etiquette rules and identify some medicinal materials, which does not necessarily mean that children have to remember it, but it means to read more and learn more.
Yang's rules are extremely good-looking, and the movements are like flowing water, and at first glance, they are formal training from elementary school, forming instincts.
"Mother, the movements you did are so beautiful."
Zilan showed a look of adoration, this bearing is indeed different.
Yang smiled gently, and a trace of emotion and nostalgia flashed in her beautiful eyes, "Your grandmother is the lord of the county, although your mother is a concubine, she is fortunate to be raised in the name of her mother, and she was taught by the grandmother in the palace since she was a child."
Lan'er, you have to remember that the rules must be learned well, we still have to go back to the capital in the future, and we can't let people underestimate you, this rule is extremely important, representing the family's upbringing. ”
Zilan pondered for a while, and felt that what Yang said was very reasonable, this is related to the girl's future and future.
"Yes, my daughter must study hard."
"Good."
"Mother, tell me about my grandfather's family."
Zilan was purely curious about what it was like to have a foreign family in the Hou Mansion. No wonder Yang always has a gentle but independent and strong temperament, which is very eye-catching with excellent appearance.
"The marquis was rewarded by the ancestors' generation, and he started by military merits, your grandfather now holds real power, and his grandmother is the county lord, and the family is also favored by the holy monarch. If you have a chance, your mother will take you home and see you. ”
Yang watched her repeat the ritual actions over and over again, and she couldn't be wrong at all.
"Then what is a mother-in-law, isn't it the meaning of being biological?"
Zilan asked pretending to be ignorant.
A touch of loneliness flashed across Yang's face, "Yes, my mother is the meaning of a wife, and my mother's biological mother is my aunt, who died very early, and I haven't seen it."
Because I got sick less than two years after giving birth, I had the opportunity to raise myself in my mother's name and get a good upbringing, so that I was fortunate enough to marry your father as a wife. ”
Zilan pretended to be ignorant and ignorant, and sighed in her heart, she was indeed lucky, if she was according to the conclusion of the novel, even if she was a concubine of the Hou Mansion, it would be a great favor to be able to marry Tanhualang.
You must know that the Song family is not really a child of a poor family, the family population is also large, and there are many officials, although they are all low-level officials, but they are also officials.
With the father's appearance and his own calm character, it is not impossible to choose a better relative, if the unfavored concubine is afraid that she may not be qualified to marry the father.
It is precisely because she is the concubine raised by the county lord that her status has improved a lot, which is a status that others cannot envy.
Yang continued: "If I hadn't been raised by your grandmother, I'm afraid I wouldn't be qualified to marry your father, but your father is Tanhualang."
At that time, the emperor intended to marry the princess to your father, but your grandfather took the first step to say that he would do it, and he went to ask the emperor to give up, so I was also very lucky.
In the future, if you go to Beijing to see your grandmother and grandfather, you must be filial and respectful, you know? ”
Yang's words were full of sincere gratitude, for a concubine, a good marriage is simply too important.
Zilan nodded slightly in her heart, it seems that her mother's character is indeed good, she is grateful and filial, and she also has a good heart, otherwise the county lord will not be able to give this good marriage, which has a lot to do with her mother's character.
"Yes, my daughter remembers."
"Well, I've almost learned the rules today, and I have to practice diligently every day in the future, and the more I practice, the more I look good and elegant, and there will be countless benefits for you in the future."
Yang repeatedly told his daughter not to be lazy.
"My daughter will definitely practice hard."
Zilan also realized that she must integrate into this era as soon as possible, and these rules must be learned, otherwise there may be countless troubles and ridicule in the future.
"Let's go, my mother will take you to make incense, and you will watch from the side."
Yang led her to another room in the courtyard, where there were only long cases and two chairs, and a wooden shelf against the wall was placed on the shelf, with many bottles and cans, and some mahogany boxes were labeled.
There is a water tank in the corner, as well as some utensils and a small stove.
Zilan looked around and guessed that this should be the incense-making room specially vacated by the Yang family, incense-making often uses fire, and it is not suitable in the bedroom, so such a room is needed.
Yang hugged his daughter and sat in the lap-backed chair, "Don't move, don't go near the stove, you know?" ”
"Got it."
Zilan smiled sweetly and nodded.
Yang took the tools out, he was busy, and he didn't let his subordinates help, there were only two mother and daughter in the house.
Zilan watched Yang Shi busy with her work, and knew what she was doing when she smelled the spices.
What Yang is doing now is Jiang Meixiang.
To use tonka, Huoxiang, cloves each half a half, fennel half a penny, a little borneol, a little musk, the bowl internal research, to build tea soup and wash it. On the right is the end of refining honey and evenly, twisted into cakes, and burned with silver leaves.
Zilan silently observed that Yang's techniques were extremely skillful, and the materials used were also very accurate, it should be said that he was a master, and he was more relieved now.
If you have a master of perfumery, you will not be afraid of being suspicious of your own perfume in the future.
Yang said while busy: "This is Jiang Meixiang, your grandmother likes this taste the most, I personally made it back and sent it to the capital as a gift, which is also a filial piety of my daughter." ”
"My mother is really amazing, I will also learn perfume from my mother in the future, become a master, and make a lot of money."
Zilan made a bouquet with her hand and said cutely.
"Silly girl, we have an incense shop, there is no shortage of your money, but you are also the daughter of the official family, you must not put the silver money on your lips at every turn, this incense is a very elegant thing, and it is cheesy to talk about money. As long as you learn the skill of this perfume, there is no shortage of money to spend. ”
Yang smiled proudly.
Zilan felt that she had the qualifications to be proud, and this skill really belonged to the masters.
"Well, I'm going to be as good as my mother."
"Good boy."
Yang made a few more pieces, wrapped them and put them in a box separately and pasted them for a period of time, which will remove the pungent taste of the herbs, and gradually become softer and more restrained, and the effect will be better.
After finishing the incense, Ziyan came back, and began to snort as soon as he entered the courtyard.
Zilan also jumped out of the chair and rushed out of the door, "Brother, brother." ”
She has more affection and trust for this little boy, probably because she doesn't have to be wary of too much at a young age.
Although her father and mother are really good to her, she is always worried that she will be found to be Xibei goods when she first arrives, so she will inevitably be a little restrained.
"Sister, I passed by the street when I came back, and I brought you a small windmill to play with."
Ziyan held a small windmill in his hand, and as soon as he blew the windmill, it whirred and turned, coaxing the child to play.
Zilan played with it in her hand and smiled happily, "Thank you, brother, brother is so good." ”
"Hee-hee."
Ziyan saw that her sister was so happy, and she also scratched her head and smiled innocently.
