Chapter Seventy-Three: The Banquet (Part II)

Supplement~

"Huaxi, I didn't expect you to have the ability to do this when you look quietly." Wanlan was surprised, she really didn't see that this Mu family's relatives and young ladies who had no sense of existence on weekdays could get the blue eyes of Mrs. Yu and Concubine Xian.

Youlan was more interested in what was going on with that incense, and asked, "Huaxi, can you tell me how that laughing orchid incense is made?" ”

Hua Xi half-lowered her head and smiled shyly, and said, "This flavor of Xiaolan is more particular about the selection of materials. You have to choose a clove for a penny, and you have to choose a spicy smell; For a penny of wood incense, you should choose one that looks like a chicken bone; Agarwood is a penny, and the softer part should be scraped off; white sandalwood for a penny, choose the balsam thick and greasy; cinnamon is a penny, and you should also choose a spicy smell; Back to the fragrance of a penny, no, you can use white cardamom instead. Powder the flavor. Then prepare five points of musk and five points of white brain; Use Nanpeng sand two coins, first grind fine, and add such as brain incense and musk in it. Then mix these with refined honey evenly, add two coins of Ma Yao, and stir them into a fragrance. Wrap it in a new oil sheet, put it in an urn bottle, take it out after a month, knead it into a pea-sized ball, and then knead it into a cake, and it can be used. ”

Youlan was a little stunned when she heard this, and said in surprise: "Oh, so complicated? ”

Mrs. Yu also heard Yin Chengzong mention some incense-making things on weekdays, naturally she was not surprised by Youlan and others, while listening and silently observing Huaxi, she inadvertently revealed the look of anticipation when she talked about making incense, which made people feel so dazzling for a moment, which was very different from her humble appearance on weekdays, and the question in her heart gradually rose, could that person be her?

Madame Yu gathered her mind and asked, "What's the point of soaking wine with this incense?" ”

Huaxi replied: "Put a fragrant cake in a bottle of wine, melt it, and seal it with bamboo shoots." Soak for three days in spring, one day in summer and autumn, and seven days in winter. It can be drunk after opening, and the wine has a mellow aroma. However, personal preferences are different, and the time of soaking can still be adjusted. ”

Wanlan glanced at Huaxi with admiration, "No wonder Concubine Xian likes it, your fragrance is really rare." ”

Yun Lin and Yun Ning listened to it, and their hearts were quite uncomfortable.

I heard Mrs. Yu say: "Well, Niangniang also said that this fragrant soaking wine has a mellow aroma, but I didn't know that this fragrance was so exquisite." Huaxi has good skills, so it's no wonder that our county prince wants to ask you for advice. ”

That doesn't sound right.

Huaxi didn't want to be tabooed by Mrs. Yu, so she hurriedly said: "Huaxi doesn't know too much about a few parties, how dare she point out to the prince of the county." ”

Seeing her like this, Mrs. Yu shook her head and said with a smile: "Hehe, the ability is her own, it is a real thing." The king of the county has such a hobby, and he has a shop outside, so he will naturally want to ask for advice when he meets a master. Sister Huaxi, you don't have to be so honest. ”

"Well, if the king and his wife have a useful place in Huaxi, just ask for it." Hua Xi looked at Madam Shangyu slightly, bowed her head slightly, and staggered.

Outside the door, Mu Xiangqing's personal maid came to invite Mrs. Yu and others.

"Madame Jade, girls. Madame, please move and prepare for the feast. ”

"Let's go" Mrs. Yu was the first to get up, walked to Huaxi's side and said, "It's time to disperse later, don't be in a hurry to leave, I still have something I don't understand and want to ask you." ”

Huaxi nodded in agreement.

Yun Lin and Wan Lan followed Mrs. Yu out of the door, and Yun Lin glared at her fiercely when she walked in front of Hua Xi, making Hua Xi look inexplicable.

Yun Ning came over and took her hand and chuckled: "Don't pay attention to the fourth sister, she is jealous." My sister gave birth to a pair of skillful hands, Mrs. Yu mentioned you to Concubine Xian, and you will be summoned to the palace by Concubine Xian, but don't forget the sisters at home. ”

Huaxi was slightly stunned, Yun Ning had already gone out. Youlan enthusiastically pulled Huaxi to ask east and west, Huaxi didn't have time to think about Yunning's words, and talked with Youlan all the way to the east courtyard for dinner.

After finishing the meal, Mrs. Yu grabbed Huaxi and asked some trivial questions about spices, and hurriedly left.

Mu Xiangqing sent the guests away, and finally sent Cheng's mother and daughter away. When Wanlan and Youlan left, they also pulled Huaxi to ask about the rose face grease and incense powder, and Huaxi lied, saying that she had people bring it back from outside, and privately told them that it was from Huajixiang. Wanlan also said that she wanted Cheng to send someone to take a look and sell two boxes to come back and try it.

Mu Xiangqing left Yun Lin, Yun Ning and Hua Xi to talk for a while, and the nurse came over with Cheng Xiaolin, who was wearing a red bottom flower brocade jacket.

The little guy is almost a year old and a half, and he has grown up a lot, and he is pink and cute. Yun Lin and Yun Ning were not very old, and they couldn't help but go up to tease them when they saw that children were rare. Cheng Xiaolin has begun to babble, simple words can say a lot intermittently, and was teased twice by the unfamiliar Yun Lin and Yun Ning, so he waved at Mu Xiangqing, and shouted in his mouth, "Mother, mother......"

Mu Xiangqing took Cheng Xiaolin over and sat on the kang with his arms, pointed to Yun Lin and the three of them and said, "Brother Lin, those three are your sisters." Come, call my sister Seventh Sister"

After teasing for a long time, Brother Lin didn't scream, his little eyes blinked, looking at Yun Lin and Yun Ning back and forth, Yun Lin and Yun Ning also looked at Brother Lin and waited for him to call someone, but they didn't want Brother Lin's little head to turn around and bury it in Mu Xiangqing's arms. It took a long time before he turned his head and looked at them secretly, but he refused to speak.

Mu Xiangqing smiled bitterly: "On weekdays, I look like a little monkey, why are I so shy today?" Come, call my sister to see, that one is the sister, that one is the seventh sister, and the one on the edge is Sister Huaxi. ”

Brother Lin looked at Yun Lin and Yun Ning, then turned his head to look at Huaxi, his little head stopped, he looked at it twice, and then opened his arms and shouted twice: "Hug, hug ......"

The nurse on the side said to Mu Xiangqing: "Yo, have you seen it, madam?" The girl only stayed for a few days last winter, and Brother Lin still remembers it. ”

Mu Xiangqing also looked at Huaxi and smiled: "This little cub really remembers you." Come on, come over and hug you. ”

Huaxi was slightly stunned, and hurriedly went up to pick up Brother Lin, who was struggling in Mu Xiangqing's arms.

As soon as Brother Lin arrived in Huaxi's arms, he hugged Huaxi's neck, rubbed his little head on the side of Huaxi's face, and giggled, "Sister, sister, hug..."

Yun Lin's face tugged at the corners of her mouth, and she didn't speak. Yun Ning sneered and said: "Sister Huaxi is a good person, not only is Mrs. Yu pulling you to talk today, but even our Brother Lin is only close to you......"

Huaxi replied with a smile: "Brother Lin is familiar with the smell of my body, so he is close to me." ”

Yun Ning teased, "Brother Lin has become a dog." ”

Before Huaxi could respond, Mu Xiangqing said on the side: "The child is a taster." Lin Ge'er changed two nurses in Quanzhou beforehand, and he was not familiar with it when he first took it over, and Lin Ge'er didn't eat it alive or dead. Wait for a day before you open your mouth to feed. ”

Yun Ning didn't please her, glanced at Huaxi and Lin Ge'er in a sneer, shut up and stopped talking.
