Chapter 460: Preparing a Gift
These things, investigated and handled, were barely finished in the first month.
Recently, martial law has been imposed in the capital, and the control in the palace is also very strict.
Xiao Nianzhi has been in the Queen Mother's small Buddha hall since she was sixteen, except for Her Majesty who sends people to ask questions about the things at that time, she rarely goes out.
Yan Xingxuan has not left recently, and he stays in the Queen Mother's palace every day.
Go back to your place at night to sleep, get up early in the morning to say hello, and then stay outside the small Buddha hall, for fear of running into the previous things again.
Aunt Yu also came to the palace, she went to Xiao Mansion a year ago, and then went to the palace for the New Year.
On the first day of the new year, because there was a sheep production on Zhuangzi's side, Aunt Yu was not at ease, and then hurried out of the palace, so Xiao Nianzhi who followed up the palace directly missed it.
The master and apprentice have not seen each other for a few months.
After that, the palace was controlled, and Aunt Yu waited until twenty-six to enter the palace.
Don't worry about Xiao Nianzhi, Aunt Yu has never left.
Because he is an old man in the palace, the Queen Mother and His Majesty can trust him, so now he has entered the palace and is directly sent to assist the queen in cleaning up the harem.
On the second day of February, after the dragon raised its head, the entire New Year was truly over.
Xiao Nianzhi also prayed for Xiao's father for half a month, and officially came out of the small Buddhist hall.
The Queen Mother looked at the little girl, who had eaten vegetarian vegetarian food for the past half month, and had obviously lost a lot of weight, and she couldn't help but feel distressed.
Yan Xingxuan was even more distressed.
The little girl had been assassinated and almost abducted, and then went to pray for blessings.
I have suffered so much and suffered so many sins, but I can't make up for it.
The Queen Mother first asked the imperial doctor to check Xiao Nian's pulse, knowing that she was in good health, so she was a little relieved.
Although Yan Xingxuan wanted to make up for Xiao Nianweaving, he was reminded by the imperial doctor that he had a light diet recently, and he was full of fish and meat at first glance, and his body was afraid that he couldn't stand it.
No matter how anxious Yan Xingxuan was, he could only take his time.
On the fifth day of the second month, Xiao Nianzhi returned to the Qinglan Hall from the Queen Mother's Palace.
Because the matter is still under investigation and processing, Xiao Nianzhi can't leave for the time being.
can't get out of the palace, and can't get cement, Xiao Nianzhi had no choice but to discuss with Yan Xingxuan to see if he wanted to get some lipstick or something.
Yan Xingxuan also knew that it was not interesting to stay in the palace all the time, so Xiao Nianzhi said that he would go to prepare the materials immediately.
The main materials of lipstick are: beeswax and vegetable oil.
Among them, olive oil is relatively small, and the others will be worse, but if there is none, it is not without substitution, such as almond oil and the like, it is also okay.
Although the amount of extraction is small, you can still extract it if you want.
Moreover, the taste is relatively sweeter.
However, the extraction of oil from almonds is not carried out today.
Vegetable oil is extracted from soybeans, peanuts and rapeseeds.
In this way, almond oil needs Xiao Nianzhi to do it himself.
Of course, in addition to vegetable oils, vitamin E is also unavoidable in order to ensure a better degree of hydration and at the same time facilitate preservatives.
Vitamin E is divided into natural and chemically synthetic, and as soon as you hear it, you know that it must be natural.
However, natural ones are also more difficult to extract.
Xiao Nianzhi also knew from reading the books in the study that the vitamin E content in the wheat germ was quite high, and if he wanted to extract it, the operation was not complicated.
Before the materials were ready, Xiao Nianzhi was busy with the corresponding extraction tools first.
After writing and drawing the names of the things he needed, as well as the corresponding drawings, he handed them over to Yan Xingxuan's guards, and Xiao Nianzhi called Xianglan over.
The sixth day of February is Yan Xingxuan's birthday.
Although I am trapped in the palace now, I still have to live my birthday.
Last year, Yan Xingxuan also asked himself if he had any gifts on his birthday, and Xiao Nianzhi responded at that time.
You can't afford to lose your words now, right?
Thinking of this, Xiao Nianzhi began to think, what kind of gift to give?
Gastronomy is definitely something to prepare, but is it just gastronomy?
That's certainly not enough.
But for other gifts, one day is not enough.
In fact, Xiao Nianzhi had been pondering this matter a few days ago, and when he was not chanting scriptures in the small Buddha hall, he also thought about this.
Of course, she didn't just think, she also made some of them.
picked and picked up some of them, and finally picked one that made me barely satisfied. Look at the book
Nowadays you need some skeleton or something, put it together into a finished product, and then you need to check the final finished product.
The production process of this gift is quite troublesome, and because of the limited conditions, the final effect will definitely not be as amazing as in modern times.
Rao is like this, Xiao Nianzhi is still serious and prepared.
She also deliberately sent Yan Xingxuan out today, leaving enough time to prepare gifts.
Yan Xingxuan also had some vague guesses in his heart.
After all, he didn't remember his birthday?
Time passed quickly in Xiao Nianweaving's busyness.
In the evening, she took out her gift for a day of work and tried it.
Woad Lan exclaimed directly on the side, thinking it was very interesting.
After Xiao Nianzhi read it, he was not particularly satisfied.
If it weren't for the fact that it was not easy to be distracted by the small Buddha hall before, in fact, if it was made earlier, maybe the effect would be better.
But today's conditions are like this, and you can't force too much.
I hope Yan Xingxuan can like this gift, right?
After reading the finished product, Xiao Nianzhi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
That night, Xiao Nianzhi thought that she would not sleep well, but in fact, she slept well.
After the turn of the day, when I woke up, I was in good spirits.
As soon as she got up in the morning, she began to clean up.
Today is Yan Xingxuan's birthday, gifts must be prepared, and the corresponding food must also be prepared, right?
In fact, she really didn't need to prepare the food.
Because, the Queen Mother prepared a family banquet and specially sent someone to invite Xiao Nianzhi to participate in it.
Xiao Nianzhi carefully wrapped the prepared gifts, then cleaned them up again, and specially checked them before going out, and found that he should not be able to find fault with his dress, so he was ready to go out.
As soon as I went out, I saw that Yan Xingxuan was already waiting for her in the courtyard, but I didn't want her to be in a hurry and make a mistake again, so I didn't make a sound to remind her.
Today's Yan Xingxuan has obviously carefully cleaned up and dressed up, and the rich purple gown with the purple jade hairpin adds a bit of nobility to his whole person, and also makes him more dignified and grand.
It's just that the moment he saw Xiao Nianzhi, all the dignity was broken, and he grinned directly, revealing a mouthful of big white teeth, which looked inexplicably a little silly, but it could make Xiao Nianzhi feel the softest sincerity.
She couldn't help laughing, and saluted Yan Xingxuan slightly: "Brother's birthday is joyful, I hope that every year will be as he wishes." 「
The little girl's voice was soft and smiling.
Yan Xingxuan was originally in a good mood when he got up early, but after seeing Xiao Nianzhi, he was in a better mood.
At this time, when I listen to this beautiful blessing again, I always feel that my sweetheart is different from what others say.
What others say, although they are also good words and sentences, are all good blessings, but they are not as good as Xiao Nianzhi's.
He was already grinning and smiling a little silly.
When I heard these words again, I laughed even more silly, but I didn't forget to take two steps forward, and asked in a low and gentle voice, "Did you bring a hand stove?" Do you have spare clothes?"
