Chapter 26
With the large yard housekeeper, he has started to prepare for repairing flowers and trees. I believe that he will be able to move in by the beginning of next spring. Zilan is also looking forward to what his yard will look like after it is finished.
Zilan and Shuhui learned to draw with the painter. They were young and had just started their enlightenment stage and their learning tasks were not heavy. Instead, they would spend more time learning etiquette and rules, and cultivating sentiment with piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. This is the lady's must-choose course.
The weather became hotter and hotter. The mother and son had been in the Hou Mansion for more than a month and had adapted to the living habits of the Hou Mansion. Zilan was not allowed to touch fire and hot water, but she could pick flowers and grind them by herself to dry them. Hongxia would assist her in completing the simple little things.
Zi Lan did not create any new fragrance products. She was not a good match. Instead, she followed Hongxia to learn how to dry and organize her medicinal materials. Sometimes she would watch her make some simple fragrance products, and she usually watches and makes trouble.
Today, Hongxia is going to make hair care cream. Use this to apply hair to protect long hair from blackness and cure itchy hair and white shavings.
This recipe is also called Longnao Paste. As the name suggests, it uses Longnao, agarwood, white sandalwood, Suhexiang, chicken tongue fragrance, Linglingxiang, clove, sweet pine, wood fragrance, aquamarine, white aconite, white aconite, asarum, angelica, ridge, lingonberry, angelica, lingonberry, lingonberry, asarum, angelica, xiong, Tianxiong, macadamia, chamomile, black beak beans, windproof, vinyl, almond (soaked with peeled soup), Qin pepper (slightly stir-fried to remove water vapor) and five jin of black sesame oil.
The method of making is to remove the above twenty-four flavors, remove the oil and finely filled, wrap it with fresh brocade, put it in a pot and fry it with oil, wait until the angelica turns yellow, remove the residue and put it into the porcelain.
This recipe has the aroma of dragon brain, which can open the orifices and eliminate filth and disperse depression; the fragrance of chicken tongue has the effect of warming the middle and dispelling cold; the fragrance of all fragrances can disperse qi and eliminate filth and remove wind and dampness, Angelica sinensis and almonds can promote blood circulation and disperse blood stasis; Angelica dahurica, prevent wind, pungent, asarum, and warm, go up to the head and face, remove wind and dry dampness, black beans and Tianxiong are all pungent and hot products, dispel cold and remove dampness, and decoct all medicines together to make the medicinal properties penetrate into the oil and moisten the black hair.
This recipe comes from "Shengji Zonglu"
Seeing that Hongxia was skillful in controlling the heat well, Zi Lan couldn't help but nodded slightly. She was worthy of being a person taught by her mother. This skill is enough to be an intermediate incense master.
"Sister Hongxia, can my hair be black and soft when I use this hair cream?"
Zilan tilted her head and teased Hongxia, and was a little bored when she was standing in front of the pot.
"Of course, this recipe is very useful. You see, your mother has been using it for many years, and her hair will be as beautiful as your mother if you insist on using it."
Zi Lan smiled and nodded frequently, thinking that of course it was easy to use. These medicinal herbs, including the longanna and the chicken tongue fragrance, are very expensive spices. I used this recipe to nourish my hair in my previous life, which was particularly useful, but the materials were a little expensive.
Hongxia's movements were very quick, and she filtered the residue in a short while. When the oil was slightly cold, she put it in a beautiful blue and white porcelain vase and sealed the mouth. She was finished.
Zi Lan picked up the bottle and smelled it, nodded with satisfaction, and had a good grasp of the heat. She also mastered it very well.
"I'll take it to my grandmother and sister."
"Go ahead, don't fall."
Hongxia asked Muxiang to take something and accompany Zilan to the main courtyard.
Zi Lan ran all the way to the main courtyard, "Grandma, I'm here to give you hair oil."
"Oh, my little beloved, what have you done?"
The old lady reached out and held Zi Lan onto the couch, hugged her in her arms, and smiled when she smelled it, "It's the smell of hair care cream."
"Hehehe! Sister Hongxia made it. I borrowed flowers to offer Buddha. I used it to my grandmother, two aunts and sisters. This can make my hair black and it is very useful."
Zilan held up a porcelain bottle and presented treasures.
"Okay, it's still my little benevolent, my grandmother made it with me."
The old lady smiled lovingly.
Xu came in, "Mother, I asked someone to go to the dock to pick up the people. I should be here later."
Zi Lan sat upright, her eyes bright and bright, "Auntie, is my father coming back?"
"Yes, I said it was here today. I asked someone to go to the dock early in the morning, and you will soon see your father."
Xu nodded happily.
"Thank you, my aunt. Lan'er just said that she was going to give some oil to her two aunts and sister. It just so happened that my aunt could take it back for use."
Zi Lan's little mouth seemed to have been wiped with honey.
"Is that right? I said why can I smell a scent when I enter the house? Then I'm welcome. The things my sister-in-law makes are very useful."
Xu nodded with a smile.
"Grandma, my dad is coming back. Will he bring us gifts?"
Zilan jumped happily on the soft couch.
"Yes, I will definitely bring it to you."
"It's a pity that Sister Huier is not here, otherwise she can share the gifts together."
Zi Lan sighed sadly. Shuhui and her second aunt went back to their parents' home. Her sister-in-law celebrated her birthday and would come back in a while when she went back.
The old lady is kind and not strict, and she treats her two daughters-in-law very kind. She never cares about her son's affairs and doesn't care about her concubines and concubines. The housekeeper also leaves her to her two daughters-in-law to do it, and the mother-in-law gets along very harmoniously.
"They will be back tomorrow. Do you keep it and then tear it down tomorrow?"
"What can I do if I can't help but do? Not only do I want to tear out mine, but also Sister Hui's, but it's impolite to tear out other people's gifts. When Sister Hui comes back, she can't tear it off. Let's just keep it off for her to come back and tear it down by herself. Dismantling the gifts is the happiest thing, you don't understand."
Zi Lan shook her head and looked serious.
The two made them laugh.
"My mother has gone to pick up my dad, why don't she take me?"
"Your mother went alone, afraid of delaying your schooling. Besides, the dock is very hot, so it's at least a moment. What are you going to do? Your father came back in the carriage soon. You have memorized your book, and you will check your skin carefully when you look back."
"I didn't play tricks, I've memorized them all."
Zi Lan has to review her homework every night. After all, what she learned in her past life and in this life is different. She really has to study hard, otherwise she will be punished.
"I can learn mathematics, but I can't be lazy."
The old lady smiled and pointed her nose.
Zilan giggled and threw herself into the old lady's arms and acted coquettishly, "I'm not lazy. I've memorized it and I can still use it. I've settled the score for my mother. I'm a smart little guy."
"Well, this is the good baby."
The old lady nodded with satisfaction.
"Lan'er is very talented in calculation studies and calculates very quickly. She can teach the two children to settle the score in two years."
Sister-in-law Xu also nodded slightly. When she was seven years old, she could start to contact the manager. The first thing was to start with the account settlement was to learn to read the account book. If you could see the tricks, you would not be afraid of being cheated by the managers.
“Yes.”
As she was talking, there were loud and pleasant sings coming from outside. It sounded that her father Song Zhengtian was back.
The girl picked up the curtain, and Song Zhengtian was wearing a green robe, elegant and elegant. Although he was a little tired, he did not lose his handsome and elegant demeanor.
"Ar Zhengtian greeted his mother-in-law."
Song Zhengtian is a son-in-law, and he is half a son, and he claims that he is close to him.
He knelt on the cushion and kowtowed to the old lady to greet him.
"Get up quickly, I have worked hard and hard. You have suffered a lot outside over the years. You have done a great job in office. Your father is very proud of you."
