Chapter 246 Far Wet Incense
In any case, the news that Zhu Jie brought back was too unexpected and too important.
Minghui asked Zhu Jie to go to the account room to report the account, this time in Baoding spent a lot, before Huo Yu was alone, the left hand earned the right hand flower, now he is from the three products of the general, ushered in more and more, there should have been a special account room a long time ago.
The old gold in the account room is the second old man to help Huo Yu find, this is the capital people's family, Lao Jin is the second wife's maiden shop in the account, the family is in the capital, only he has been in Baoding for more than ten years in order to make a living, and now his son has also married a wife and has children, Lao Jin does not want to leave his hometown again, it just so happens that Minghui is also looking for an account room, the second old man recommended Lao Jin, who knows the roots and has experience, Lao Jin can also return to the capital to reunite with his family.
Minghui thought about the woman, and took it to the workshop of the back cover no later than late.
I took ten taels of Maoshan Atractylodes, four taels of Youlan incense, one tael of good rue incense, four taels of Huoxiang net, four taels of Jinyan incense, and eight taels of cypress net, and Minghui took these all into fine powder without delay.
Mix the ground fine powder with wine, then add the white ramp powder, mix it into a lake, take it off with a mold to make a fragrant cake, and it is made with a long moist fragrance.
This incense is of a strong quality and is best suited for burning in rainy weather.
Nanling County, where Mingxian and his wife are going, has a long rainy season every year, and the far damp fragrance is the most suitable.
With the current weather, even if it is sunny every day, after the fragrant cake is made, it will have to be dried for a month to dry thoroughly, Mingxian will leave in a few days, and it is too late to make it, therefore, Minghui spent more than 100 taels, and what was bought back from the flower was far damp incense, and these far damp incense, she asked Ming Xian to bring it with her.
Although this silver turns around, there is still a part of it back to their own pockets, Hua Qianchang does not have an incense-making workshop in the capital, the workshop is in Baoding, the incense in the capital is transported from Baoding, and the Beijing branch is opened with people, so Minghui wants to use incense, and can only go to the shop to spend money to buy, once or twice OK, every time to buy, Hua Granny said reluctant.
Therefore, Minghui decided to make more far damp incense, although the north is not as humid as the south, but summer is coming, rainy days are inevitable, do more can always use.
The incense cake is sealed and stored, as long as it is not damp, it can be stored for a long time. , even if they can't catch up this year, they can still use it on the road, and this fragrant cake will not be bad next year, and it can still come in handy.
Whenever incense is made, Minghui's mood will be extremely calm, Wang Zhenren said, this is also a practice. Minghui's eyebrows are stretched, her movements are graceful and meticulous, and her whole body and mind are immersed in soothing tranquility.
Ingredients, titles, grinding, blending, demoulding, time flows, until Minghui is not too late, when the prepared fragrant cakes are moved out to dry, only to find that the sky is already dark.
Walking out of the incense shop, I saw Duoduo sitting on the steps with a big steamed bun gnawing, Minghui saw it, and hurriedly asked the kitchen to start eating.
Since Huo Yu left, she has been very busy, and today is the same, after dinner, she walked around the yard a few times to eliminate food, after washing, she fell asleep with her head on the pillow, and when she woke up again, it was already dawn.
Minghui rubbed her eyes and said to the next day: "Today, you sort out the cage I brought from Baoding, there are two travelogues, you find them, I want to read them at night." β
Today can no longer go to bed early, a person can live to be eighty years old at most, there are only twelve hours a day, if there are six hours of sleep, life is suddenly reduced by half, eighty years old becomes forty years old, and then subtract the years when I was a child and do not remember, and finally the years of Lao Hutu, a person's life, when he is really awake, is only thirty years.
And there are few people who can live to be eighty years old, this is an old birthday star, and there are not a few in a county, Minghui doesn't think she has the potential to become an old birthday star, so what she can do is to sleep as little as possible.
So tonight, Minghui decided to read the book, and she hadn't had time to read the travelogue written by her father.
After having breakfast, Minghui asked Wang An to find Wen Chang and Meng Xiaohai.
Ye Ting's mother passed through Baoding back then, and the last place she went to was probably the capital, so the purpose of her coming to the capital may be to find Ye Ting, eight or nine times out of ten, Ye Ting has been to the capital.
Yu Hang was far away, and he couldn't find Ye Ting and his mother for a while, but the capital was right in front of him.
Although Ye Mu and Feng are like two people in terms of temperament, Minghui intuitively believes that there must be a relationship between these two people, one is that their facial features are almost the same, and the other is the bamboo hairpin engraved with the word Feng.
As soon as Wen Chang and Meng Xiaohai walked on their front feet, Duoduo ran in: "Miss, Miss, there is a grandmother from the Changping Hou Mansion." β
The grandmother of the Marquis of Changping?
Minghui thought of the Yuan Mama next to the county lord of Dingxiang, could it be that the second sister-in-law and the third sister-in-law really said that as long as she was in the capital, the county lord of Dingxiang would refresh her sense of existence from time to time and call her over to set rules?
Minghui is a little annoyed, with that kung fu, it is better to go out shopping.
Minghui didn't let Mama Yuan enter the house, she sat at the stone table in the courtyard and received Mama Yuan.
Minghui didn't guess wrong, Mama Yuan really came to invite her to go to the Hou Mansion tomorrow, of course, Mama Yuan's words are very good, the Hou Mansion of Changping is home, since it is a family, you always have to go home to see, how can there be a reason that the new daughter-in-law doesn't even know where her home is?
The young grandmother doesn't have to think about it, there is no other meaning, just ask the young grandmother to go back and recognize the door.
The eldest young grandmother also kowtowed to the Hou Ye and the county lord, she is the daughter-in-law of the Huo family, and of course she is also the daughter-in-law of the Hou Mansion.
Mama Yuan said with a dry mouth, seeing that Minghui's expression was getting more and more serious, and occasionally she would look at her sharply, Mama Yuan had no bottom in her heart, this new grandmother was not very old, why was her eyes so scary? There is a bit of the momentum of an old lady from the palace.
When I saw it the first few times, I was obviously a naΓ―ve and innocent little girl who had never seen anything in the world, why did this become a parent, like a different person?
A teenage girl suddenly became a forty or fifty-year-old old woman, do you say scary or not?
Seeing that Mama Yuan finally stopped talking, Minghui took a sip of the teacup on the stone table, and her voice was cold: "Finished?" β
Mama Yuan sneered: "Say, it's over." "Her old man has forgotten how many years she hasn't stuttered, she is a first-class celebrity around the county lord, who in the Hou Mansion doesn't give her some face, will she still have a time to show timidity?
But now, she is really timid, facing a little daughter-in-law who has just entered the door for a few days.
Minghui sighed, her eyes stopped on Mama Yuan's face and she didn't hesitate, Mama Yuan was uncomfortable with her, what is this young grandmother going to do?
Finally, Minghui nodded: "You go back and tell the county lord, I will visit tomorrow." β
