"Hmm," Yi Zhen replied with a serious sigh.

"Princess, county lord, please" Yu Heng walked to the front to let the door open, and let Yizhen and Huaxi enter the gate.

The perfume room was in the backyard, and Yu Heng led Yizhen and Huaxi along the veranda through the crescent gate to the backyard.

The further in, the more obvious the smell of lake water with a light smell in the air, Huaxi asked, "Is it very close to Li Lake?" ”

Yi Zhen couldn't help but be surprised: "Huaxi, you are really sensitive to smells, and you can distinguish such subtle differences."

"The princess is very right." Yu Heng also praised with a smile.

Yi Zhen glanced at Yu Heng, "I see that you dare to boast that Haikou is the 'first person to taste incense in Tiandu' in the future."

"Mo Xiao looked at me......" Yu Heng raised his eyebrows at Yi Zhen, his expression was quite intimate, but his tenderness was not reciprocated. Yi Zhen didn't see it, and talked to Huaxi by herself.

Yu Heng sighed secretly, and said in his heart, Yi Zhen must still be angry about Mulan's affairs...... But now that things have developed to this point, he is afraid that it will take a lot of trouble to make amends, which he did not expect. Originally, even if Yizhen didn't like herself much, at least she accepted this family business in her heart, and she was closer to herself than others. And now, that attitude that is neither salty nor light makes Yu Heng extremely helpless, and his heart is more and more annoyed with Mu Lan, who made her pregnant, and Xun Rou, who adds fuel to the fire and does not do her business.

Think about the crying appearance of Mulan and the cold face of the mother concubine in the concubine's house last night...... Yu Heng's heart was even more angry, and the mother concubine still thought that if Yi Zhen really quit the marriage, it was really a woman's opinion to let herself marry Mulan as his wife, if this family affair was really messed up because of Mulan, the biggest loss was not the Zhidu Mansion or the royal family, but himself.

No matter who becomes the emperor in the future, the most unlikely position is Yizhen. Only when he marries Yizhen, in times of crisis, it will not be difficult for him to get out or clear up the relationship.

Yu Heng glanced at Yizhen and Huaxi, and said with a smile: "Since the princess said that I am not as good as the county lord, then I will definitely ask the county lord for advice later." ”

"Ask me for advice?" Huaxi was stunned, and someone poked her behind her. Before she could speak, Yi Zhen said, "You won't lose to him."

Yi Zhen pulled Huaxi into the perfume room.

The perfume room is paved with marble, with a room for spices and incense utensils on the outside, and a mixing bucket on one side.

Hua Xi frowned lightly and asked, "Where did you get this bucket of Sangong from?" ”

It is said that in order to make this blended barrel, Huaxi walked around Tiandu City for a long time, and asked many oil mills and incense shops before painting two versions. She dared to pack a ticket, and she was the first person in the sky to make this incense barrel. However, after the first version was made and tried, Huaxi felt that there were flaws and improved some small places, and Yu Heng's blending bucket here was eight points similar to the first version she painted. This made Huaxi have to wonder, didn't his pattern flow to the outside of the house through the office?

"I didn't want to get it from the old craftsman in the city, but the apprentice of the old craftsman wanted to make this bucket, and in some places it was difficult to meet the requirements after repeated scrutiny and trial, so I asked the old craftsman to do it. I happened to order a set of molds, and I accidentally caught a glimpse, but the old man showed me a look, and mentioned some improved methods by the way......" Yu Heng stroked the water mill countertop where the mixing bucket was placed, and looked at the mixing bucket with his eyes, "After returning home, I drew a pattern from memory and asked people to try it, but I didn't expect it to be done." ”

"I don't know where that pattern came from?"

"I also asked for a long time, but the master and apprentice refused to say anything......" Yu Heng shook his head and said regretfully, "I want to meet this strange man...... The princess said that there is also a perfume room in the county lord's mansion, could it be that there is also this barrel in it? ”

Huaxi picked up the long string of angelica that had not been dried next to him, "Well, the pattern was brought by me from Dahua and sent by my aunt." She had settled in Quanzhou, and the pattern of the mixing barrel had been transmitted from the other side of the sea. As for who the original painter was, it's really hard to verify. ”

"Ah-it turns out that the pattern is from the county lord's ......" Yu Heng was suddenly, busy saluting, and said apologetically, "It's all Yu Heng's recklessness, he was happy to see the picture, he didn't ask for it, he used the county lord's pattern, and I hope the county lord will forgive me."

Huaxi didn't believe that Yu Heng didn't know where this picture came from, but he had already used it, and there was no objection to arguing about it again, besides, King Zhidu was obsessed with incense, and Yu Heng's incense was just to cater to his father's preferences. Since he didn't want to break it, why did he bother to fight with the Zhidu Mansion for these trivial things?

Huaxi smiled, "It's okay. It's just a piece of equipment...... The device is a foreign object, just a help. And to bring out a good fragrance, the epiphany of the heart, the keen perception and the special ratio of materials, these are the key. Perfumery, only outside the transcendent, the sense of the spirit can capture the good fragrance. And if there are too many distracting thoughts, the incense will not be pure, and even if the fragrance lasts for a long time, the soul of the fragrance will be lost...... Yu Henggong, do you think I said yes or no? ”

Yu Heng lowered his eyes and pondered, smacking the deep meaning of Huaxi's words, and was stunned for a while.

Huaxi's gaze fell on the grinding table, walked over and reached out and pinched a handful, put it on the end of his nose and sniffed, "cloves, cardamom, and camphor crystals......"

Huaxi reported it in the same way, and Yi Zhen glanced at Yu Heng with a playful look in his eyes, as if he was waiting for Yu Heng to speak.

Yu Heng suddenly came to his senses and nodded, "The county lord is very right. I'm experimenting with mixing sesame oil in a blended barrel. ”

"Hmm" Huaxi turned around and watched the steam rise in the mixing barrel, the mixing barrel was covered with a faint layer of fog, and the air in the room was full of various aromas.

Huaxi closed his eyes, looked at the fragrance with his nose, and tasted the fragrance with his heart, which is a mixture of many spices: sweet, faintly spicy, not spicy, mild...... It stimulated the sense of smell just right, and the feeling was like a wild breeze that saw flowers quietly blooming, and a kind of joy surging in my heart to see hope.

"Pea flowers, violets, wild hyacinths, honeysuckle flowers......" Huaxi closed his eyes and slowly spat out the names of a string of spices.

The more Yu Heng listened, the more surprised he became, "Last time, I had seen the county lord's incense tasting skills, but I didn't expect that today was an eye-opener, just with this mixed incense mist, I am afraid that only Fang Liu's small can compare with the county lord in Tiandu."

Hua Xi opened his eyes and didn't respond to Yu Heng's question, but shook his head, "It's a pity, if you can add some lemon oil to this incense, you can use sour incense and some spice to make this fragrance more vivid......

"Lemon oil?" When Yu Heng heard it for the first time, he asked curiously, "Where can I find this thing?" ”

Huaxi replied: "As far as I know, there may be one on the islands in the Southeast China Sea, but no one has brought it back so far. ”

Yu Heng showed a look of disappointment, but at this time, his heart admired Huaxi very much, and his attitude became more and more modest, "Don't hide it from the county lord, I have always felt that this incense has some shortcomings, but I have tried for a long time and have not improved." Today, I listened to what the county lord said, but without lemon oil, there is no other law? ”

Huaxi pondered for a moment, "Without lemon oil, the compatibility of camphor and cardamom can be considered as appropriate, slightly reduced, maybe the smell can be softened." ”

"Thank you for the county lord's suggestion," Yu Heng arched his hand, "In addition, there is a reluctant request below, I wonder if the county lord can stay in the garden for two more days and help me adjust this sesame oil?" ”
