After returning home, Bai Heran went directly into the medicine house, and after Bai Zhenzhen came out of the palace, she was originally going to find the Nine Emperors, but because she couldn't rest assured that her father confronted Concubine Li Xian, she simply didn't go anywhere, just sat in the carriage and waited for news.

Now that the news has arrived, King Shen's Mansion can't go, because it's getting dark.

Hong told her: "Now that a person has a marriage contract, it seems too unreserved to run to a man's house at night." ”

She felt that this was the case, so she didn't go anywhere at all, and stayed at home to look at the dowry gifts that were sent.

When the Hong clan heard that Bai He was dyed in the medicine house, he drove Bai Haoxuan over to study.

Since Bai Haoxuan made up his mind to follow his second sister to study medicine, he would read medical books almost every day whenever he had free time, and sometimes asked Bai Zhenzhen to take him to the Jinsheng Pavilion, even Tianci Academy also went a few times, and gained a lot of experience from Donggong Yuan.

Focusing on medical science and pharmacology, the usual homework will naturally fall behind, and the Hong family doesn't care much about this, after all, in the years of the Wenguo Mansion, she has long been used to seeing all things in the officialdom, and she never wants her son to go on a career in the future and mix into that big dye vat.

As for Mr. Teaching, Bai Haoxuan is a concubine, Bai Xingyan has always only valued the eldest young master in the house, and he doesn't talk about this young master's homework, and he rarely inquires. So he didn't bother to say that after teaching what he should teach every day, he would receive silver every month, and he didn't care about the rest.

When Bai Haoxuan arrived, Bai Heran was grabbing the medicine according to the prescription. Seeing him coming, he beckoned: "It's just in time, the second sister is still worried about having no help!" As he spoke, he handed the prescription in his hand to Bai Haoxuan, "Grab the medicine according to the prescription, grab twenty copies, and then grind." ”

Bai Haoxuan was very happy and happily went to grab the medicine.

Hakuzuru sat down at the table and continued to concoct the herbs that had already been ground. But in fact, these things are not used for medicine, but the first batch of rouge she prepared for the soon-to-open rouge shop.

After the trial of those concubines in the palace, the rouge dyed by the white crane was an instant hit in the upper circle of Kyoto.

After all, those concubines have relatives, and occasionally they enter the palace to ask for peace, and they will obviously see the changes in their mother's face.

Even if it doesn't happen to be in the palace to ask for peace, in order to show off their faces, the ladies will take the initiative to send invitations to their maiden relatives.

After this back and forth, people soon learned that it was Princess Tianci who developed a new rouge gouache, and it will soon replace the original Fragrance Pavilion and officially sell it to the outside world.

People are very happy, firstly, the former Fragrant Pavilion is a real pit person, and secondly, the name of Bai Heran, the goddess-given princess, is too loud, and the reputation is really good. Coupled with the trial of the palace concubines led by the queen, who can not believe in the efficacy of these rouge gouaches!

So without waiting for the opening, the orders were sent to the house one after another, and the stack of orders in front of her was given to her by the housekeeper Bai Shun when she returned to the house today, and it was said that they were all delivered on this day, and asked her if she could take it, and if she didn't take it, Ming'er would return it.

Of course, Bai Heran has to take it, and the rouge shop is opened to make money, and letting the concubines try it is also to obtain high-class resources. Now that the resources have been delivered to the door, there is no reason to turn them away.

It's just that there are a lot of orders, and even with Bai Haoxuan's help, the progress is still very slow.

Yingchun was still busy working outside and didn't come back, and it was dark and it was not good to call the little maid in to do things, so Bai Heran thought about it, and went out to call a maid in the courtyard: "You go to Xiangyuan, call the third lady over, and say that I have something to find her." ”

When Bai Haoxuan heard her order like this, he knew that he must have called someone for help, so he also asked to call Bai Zhenzhen. But was stopped by Bai Heran, "If I guess correctly, your sister must be counting the dowry at this time, and she has a dream of being married, so let's not bother." What's more, she has to go to the Pavilion of this Life tomorrow morning, if we have to be busy here for most of the night! ”

Bai Haoxuan understood what she meant, and went back to the house to continue picking up medicinal herbs.

There was also a little maid carrying a basket outside to pick flowers, and the white crane ordered people to open a few plots of land outside the medicine house a few days ago, and transplanted a lot of flowers and plants, just to make rouge.

Medicinal herbs are supplied by merchants, but the ones used to make rouge need fresh flowers and trees, and there is no other better way than to plant them. Of course, it is definitely too late to plant now, so these flowers and plants are transplanted from the mountains, so it is good that the mountains are purple and red in this season, and the flowers are the best season.

The maid who picks up flowers and branches is called camellia, which is the batch that was bought into the house at the beginning of the courtyard in the past, and because she is good at tending to flowers and plants, she recommended herself to come here to help. Bai Heran still trusted the first group of people, and the garden here was handed over to Camellia to manage.

At this time, I heard that the young lady needed help, so Camellia called a few maids in the courtyard to come over.

Soon, Bai Yanyu also arrived. As soon as he saw the white crane dyeing this frame, he knew that he was a strong man, so without saying a word, he took his maid Lichun and threw himself into the production of rouge.

But in fact, these people don't know much craftsmanship, and they are not even as good as Bai Haoxuan, who can already recognize most of the medicinal materials. So what they did the most was grinding, grinding the medicinal materials selected by Bai Haoxuan into powder, and then squeezing the flowers picked back from the camellia into flower juice according to Bai He's instructions, and then placing them in different categories, waiting for Bai He's dyeing to be used.

Of course, in addition to these, some of the ground medicinal powder needs to be boiled into a thick soup, so there are two maids who are specially responsible for boiling it.

With the help of these people, the progress of Hakutsuru Ran's side is very fast.

Bai Yanyu watched her mix and match various materials according to a certain proportion, her technique was skillful, her movements were extremely fast, almost in one go, and the bottles of liquid rouge were quickly sealed and completed.

Of course, there are more non-liquid ones, some of which are dried after preparation, and then ground twice or three times until they are ground into a fine powder like white flour. Others are made into paste, half dry and half wet in small porcelain boxes half the size of a palm, and come in a variety of colors.

She was interested in these, so she handed over the work in her hand to Lichun, and took the initiative to come over and say to Bai Heran: "Second sister may have heard of my grandfather who sings, not only can sing, but also makes a good spice, I used to see him learn to make incense powder, why don't you guide me again, second sister, I'll do it with you!" ”

Bai Crane slapped his forehead, "Yes, how did I forget this stubble!" You and Aunt Lin always have all kinds of fragrances on them, I don't think you went out to buy them back, you must have made them yourself, you should be better than me in this craft. ”

Bai Yanyu hurriedly waved her hand, "It's definitely better to compare with others, but it's not good to compare with the second sister." I'm just right to see you make these things, I'm afraid that even the best perfumers in Shangdu City can't match you. The most important thing is that I have never heard of or seen the many types of rouge you made, second sister, so this has nothing to do with the proficiency of the craft, mainly because of the lack of knowledge. ”

Bai Heran patted her on the shoulder, "If you learn more and see more, you will have insight, you sit next to me, I will teach you the proportions first, as for the technique, you must know everything, it is nothing more than what kind of container it is put in." ”

Bai Yanyu nodded, indeed, whether it is flour making, paste making or water making, she will be able to make skills, what she lacks is the mastery of proportions.

With the addition of Bai Yanyu, the efficiency is very high, but this girl is still addicted, in the second half of the night, everyone else was sent to rest by Bai Heran, but Bai Yanyu didn't leave, she simply came by herself from grinding to boiling, and finally she boiled Bai Hedye all the sleepy, and she was still mentally good.

Bai Heran fell asleep directly in the medicine house, starting to sleep when the sky was dark, and sleeping until half an hour before waking up. As a result, when I opened my eyes, Bai Yanyu was still stirring the balm there!

She had to admire this person's spirit, and she also had to sigh that it was really necessary to explore everyone's strengths, Bai Yanyu's perfumery was definitely professional, plus she had a prescription ratio, this bottle of rouge gouache was made perfectly, and even more beautiful than the ones she made before.

She got up, picked up the finished product made by Bai Yanyu and put it under her nose and sniffed it, nodding again and again, "It's really good." ”

Bai Yanyu was very happy, "I didn't hold back my second sister." Sister, is there any other way? I'll learn more, and I'll help you make rouge in the future! I heard that you are going to move all the workshops to Tianci Town in the future, so can the Rouge Workshop take me along? I also moved to live in the town and help you make rouge every day. ”

When she said this, her eyes flashed with excitement, and Bai Heran could see that she really liked this business. Thinking about it again, in fact, it is not difficult to understand that girls' families are irresistible to things like cosmetics. In a past life or in this life, there is no woman who does not study cosmetics, and very few women will resist things like powdered perfumes. It is the nature of girls to love beauty, Bai Yanyu has been cultivated by Lin Han since she was a child, and she must have put a lot of effort into this.

"I'm definitely welcome for you to help me make rouge, but I can't move you to Tianci Town." Bai Heran told her, "It's not just you, Zhen Zhen and Hao Xuan, I can't take any of them away." In this Guogong Mansion, all I can take away is the people in my former courtyard, and if the others follow me, it will be tantamount to splitting up. Not only my father, but also my grandmother will definitely not do it. ”

Bai Yanyu was a little deflated, "Can't you really go?" Second sister, I don't like this family, compared to being bored in this house all day, I prefer when my grandfather comes, and my aunt and I can live in the troupe, at least we have freedom. ”

Bai Heran thought for a while and said, "Although you can't go to Tianci Town to live for a long time, it's still okay to go back and forth occasionally, and there is no rule in the house that you won't be allowed to go out for a walk." Besides, I live in Tianci Town, and if you occasionally stay in the name of visiting relatives, your grandmother won't say anything. But, Yan Yu, if you're willing to stay in the upper capital, I can give you something to do—"
