Zilan and her sisters get along very well, the girls taught by the Song family are not bad, they are all good in terms of character and temperament, and they will not deliberately bully and squeeze her a child, but they have more maintenance points and take care of them everywhere, which makes her grateful inexplicably.

In the afternoon of this day, the second grandmother and the others were going to have a meeting to discuss buying some more ancestral fields for the clan to come back, which was also for the long-term plan of the clan, not all the clansmen could take the imperial examination and get ahead, and those who were not good at reading had to work in the fields.

The ancestral field is a very important thing in the clan, first, to help the poor widows and children in the clan, and secondly, even if the family is copied, there is a way out, because the ancestral field is not within the scope of the family, and can be retained.

Therefore, the clan will fill in a certain amount of ancestral land as a reserve every year, which is the foundation of prosperity.

The children are idle regardless of these, such as Sister Qing pulling her to make Hexiang, and several sisters are playing and accompanying her, or playing the piano, or playing chess, which is rare for a leisurely and relaxing moment.

Zilan and Ruqing don't make the same kind of incense, she makes a thick plum fragrance.

This incense uses Huoxiang leaves, two coins each of the early spring tea buds, ten cloves, and half a word fennel; Sweet pine, angelica, tonka, three coins each.

Chop up the above materials together and store them in a silk bag and wear them.

This incense does not have musk, so it is suitable for older girls.

And Sister Ruqing's work is more troublesome, which is Muxi hair oil.

Choose to pick the unopened mulberry flowers in the early morning, pick up the stems and stems of the flowers, select clean flower pieces, and take a bucket of high and high amounts.

Take a pound of light sesame oil, pour in the flowers, stir evenly by hand and place it in a porcelain jar, and seal the mouth of the main tank with thick oil.

Put it in a pot and take it out after steaming for a meal, put it in a stable and dry place, use it everywhere after ten days, and use it by hand.

The key to collection is to seal it tightly, and the longer it is stored, the stronger the aroma.

If you put yellow wax in the oil to make a cream, it is especially fragrant.

Ruqing started making this sesame oil a long time in advance, and today she specially took out the cream she made, put it in a porcelain box, sealed it, and handed it to Zilan.

"Sister Lan, give it to you, you have been here for a long time and my sister didn't give you any decent gifts, this is made by me, the skin is easy to crack in the spring, give it to you to wipe your face."

Zilan sniffed happily, her eyes flashed with joy, "I gave it to me, thank you, sister, it smells so good, I like it." ”

"It's good if you don't dislike it."

Ruqing also smiled happily.

Zilan put together several incense and spring news that she had made in advance, and the fragrance of thick plum clothes, as well as the spring letter in the snow, and said to several sisters: "This is made by my sister herself, if the sisters don't dislike it, pick one, you can smoke clothes and put purses."

I did it in advance, borrowing flowers to offer Buddha, my sisters are so beautiful, and it will be even more beautiful when I use it. ”

Shishi pinched her little face, "Oops! Why is your little mouth so sweet, let's pick them quickly, these ones smell very good. ”

"My sister is really talented in incense, you should study hard, and your sisters will count on you for their future incense."

Gui Feng also happily picked one he liked.

"No problem, wrap it on my sister, and I'll make dough for my sisters in a few days."

Zilan patted her small chest and boasted confidently about Haikou.

provoked her sisters to hug her and rub her, and she was very happy.

Zilan felt the friendliness of her sisters in her daily relationship, and smoothly integrated into the Song family, received training in various skills, and became more and more familiar with it.

It's just that she really has no talent in embroidery, and she has been trained by her mother several times, but the grandmothers have never been trained, but she said with a smile that it is enough to make a shoe gown for her father and brother into filial piety, and our eldest lady does not need embroidery to be good.

Zilan's embroidery is really indescribable, people say that handmade embroidery has spirituality, far from being comparable to machines, her embroidery is not as good as the machine, it is simply miserable.

Obviously, the fragrance is simply accurate, but as soon as the embroidery is blind, Yang is very helpless, and plans to find a few good embroidery girls to match her, so as not to be ugly.

I'm going to go to my grandfather's house in a few days, and the Yang family is busy in the spring, so she asks for a few precious flowers and plants to give away, which is not sold at present.

Zilan chose a few very precious varieties, but Yang's selection is all the varieties that are available outside, but the quality is better, Yang said don't be too maverick, to step by step, let people know that I can raise precious flowers and plants is enough, and it will not be unusual to come up with good things in the future.

Zilan listened to Yang's arrangement, and didn't care about these, but made a few facial greases and lip balms by herself to use them for her sisters.

This one is the Harmony Method.

It is soaked in sake, cold in summer, warm in spring and autumn, and slightly heated in winter.

The chicken tongue incense is also called cloves, which looks very similar to cloves and gets its name, four spices of Huoxiang, alfalfa and orchid, wrapped in new cotton, put into wine and soaked for two nights, and soaked for three nights in winter.

Put two parts of sesame oil and one part of pork gall into a copper pot, add the soaked wine, decoction for a few boils, and then decoction slightly over low heat, then put in the soaked spices, fry over low heat until dusk. Until the water is less dry, it is cooked.

He who plunges the fire into the temptation and makes a sound, the water is not boiled; If there is smoke coming out and there is no sound, the water has been boiled dry.

When the fragrance is about to be fried, add a little artemisia annua to color. Cover the silk cotton over the mouth of the bottle and pour in the fragrance.

Hair is always dull and yellow, so use this method to moisturize, add dansha, you can make lip grease, can make the pure color ruddy.

This method is recorded in the [Qi Min Yao Shu] and the [Interpretation of Names].

The other is the face fat fragrance.

Use cow pith, if the cow pith is too little, you can use tallow to mix the marrow, if there is really no marrow, you can use tallow instead.

Soak the cloves in warm wine, the two flavors of Huoxiang, the dipping method is like the decoction method, and the decoction method is the same when blending the fragrance.

Artemisia annua is also added to the face fat to color, strained with silk cotton, and poured into a porcelain cup to solidify.

If you make lip grease, mix it with cooked vermilion and wrap it in green oil.

These two are very good recipes, Zilan deliberately made them by herself, it is more troublesome to do once, and she deliberately made more of them, and they can be used to give them to her sisters after they are packed.

Also specially given two boxes to the Ma sisters, as a gift from the little sisters, every month the Ma sisters have letters, but also brought spices and vegetable oil and other small gifts, knowing that she likes, with good materials will be collected and sent to someone.

With the finished gifts, Zilan and Ziyan took Mama Qi back to their grandfather's house in a carriage, but Yang did not follow, because she had to manage clan affairs and study with her two grandmothers and sisters-in-law.
