Chapter 04: Jiang Meixiang

He slept in Yang's house at noon, and Song Zhengtian left after dinner. As the county magistrate, he still has a lot to be busy with. He has been here for many years and may not be transferred next year.

In the afternoon, I followed Yang to learn etiquette and rules and identified some medicinal materials. I don’t necessarily have to remember the children, but I just want to read more and learn more.

Yang's rules are extremely beautiful, and the movements are like flowing water. At first glance, it is like a regular training in elementary school, which has formed an instinct.

"Mom, the movements you made are so beautiful."

Zi Lan showed admiring eyes, her demeanor was indeed different.

Yang smiled gently, and a hint of emotion and nostalgia flashed in his beautiful eyes, "Your grandmother is the princess. Although your mother is a concubine, she is fortunate to raise her in the name of her mother. She was taught by the nanny in the palace since she was a child.

Lan'er, you have to remember that you must learn the rules well. We will still go back to the capital in the future. We cannot underestimate you. This rule is extremely important and represents the family's upbringing."

Zilan pondered for a moment and felt that what Yang said was very reasonable. It was related to the girl's future and future.

"Yes, my daughter must study hard."

"good."

"Mom, tell me about the affairs of my grandfather's family."

Zilan was purely curious about what a foreign family in a marquis’ mansion looked like. No wonder Yang always had a gentle but independent and strong temperament, and his outstanding appearance was very eye-catching.

"The Marquis was awarded by his ancestors and started his family through military merits. Your grandfather now holds real power. His grandmother is the princess, and his family is also favored by the Holy Lord. You will know if you have the chance to take you home and see you."

Yang watched her repeat the etiquette movements over and over again, and could not be wrong at all.

"What is the legitimate mother? Isn't it what my biological son means?"

Zi Lan asked ignorantly.

A trace of loneliness flashed across Yang's face and then disappeared, "Yes, the legitimate mother means the first wife and legitimate wife, and the mother's biological mother is the aunt. She died very early, and I have never seen her before.

Because I got sick less than two years after I was born, I had the opportunity to raise my mother in the name of her legitimate mother, get good education, and be lucky enough to marry your father as her legitimate wife."

Zi Lan pretended to be ignorant and sighed in her heart that she was really lucky. If she followed the conclusion of the novel, even the concubine of the Hou Mansion would be able to marry Tanhualang, it would be very favored.

You should know that the Song family is not a real poor family. The family has a large population and a large number of officials. Although they are all low-ranking officials, they are also officials.

With my father's appearance and calm personality, it is not impossible to choose a better marriage. If a concubine who is not favored is probably not qualified to marry her.

It is precisely because he was a concubine raised by the princess that his identity has improved a lot, which is a status that others cannot envy.

Yang continued, "If I hadn't been raised by your grandmother, I would have been ineligible to marry your father, your father was Tanhualang.

At that time, the emperor intended to betroth the princess to your father, but your grandfather had made the move first and then asked the emperor to give up. So I was also very lucky.

If you come to Beijing in the future, you must be filial and respectful when you meet your grandmother and grandfather, do you know?"

Yang's words were full of sincere gratitude. For a concubine's daughter, a good marriage was simply too important.

Zi Lan nodded slightly in her heart. It seemed that her mother was indeed a good person, she was grateful and filial, and also had a kind heart. Otherwise, the princess would not be able to give this good marriage, which had a lot to do with her mother's character.

"Yes, my daughter remembers it."

"Well, I have learned the rules today. I have to practice hard every day in the future. If I practice more, I will look good and elegant. It will be of countless benefits for you in the future."

Yang repeatedly reminded his daughter not to be lazy.

"My daughter will definitely practice hard."

Zi Lan also realized that he must integrate into this era as soon as possible, and he must learn these rules, otherwise there may be countless troubles and sneers in the future.

"Let's go, mom takes you to make incense, you'll watch from the side."

Yang took her to another room in the yard. There were only long boxes and two chairs in the room. A wooden shelf was placed against the wall. There were many bottles and jars on the shelf, and some mahogany boxes were labeled.

There are water tanks in the corner, some utensils and small stoves.

Zi Lan looked around and guessed that this should be the incense making room specially vacated by Yang. Incense making is often made with fire, which is not suitable for the bedroom, so such a room is needed.

Yang hugged her daughter and sat in a chair with her back on the ring, "Don't move around or get close to the stove?"

"knew."

Zi Lan nodded with a sweet smile.

Yang took out the tools and was busy herself, and she didn't let the servants help. There were only two mothers and daughters in the room.

Zilan watched Yang's busy work, and when she looked at the smell of spices, she knew what she was making.

What Yang is doing now is Jiang Meixiang.

You should use Linglingxiang, aquamarine, and cloves, half a liang of dried fennel, a little dragon's head, and a little musk. Grind it in a bowl to make tea soup and wash it. The right powder is ground and make honey and evenly twist it into a cake, and use silver leaves to burn it.

Zi Lan silently observed Yang's technique very skillful and used the materials very accurately. He should be said to be a master, so he felt more at ease now.

With my mother, the perfume expert, then I will not be afraid of being suspected of making perfumes by myself in the future.

Yang said while busy: "This is Jiang Meixiang, your grandmother likes this taste the most. I personally made it and sent it to the capital as a gift. It is also a filial piety of my daughter."

"Mom is so awesome. I will learn to make perfume with Mom in the future, be a master, and make a lot of money."

Zi Lan made a bouquet with her hands and said cutely.

"Silly girl, we have an incense shop, and we don't lack your money. After all, you are also a daughter of the official family. You must always keep money on your lips. This perfume is a very elegant thing, and it will be tacky to talk about money. As long as you learn the ability to make perfume, you won't lack money to spend."

Yang smiled proudly.

Zilan felt that she was qualified to be proud, and this skill was indeed among the masters.

"Well, I want to be as good as my mother."

"Good boy."

Yang made a few more pieces, wrapped them in a box and put them in a cellar for a while. This will remove the spicy taste of the medicinal materials and gradually become softer and more restrained, and the effect will be better.

After finishing the incense, Ziyan came back and started to scream as soon as he entered the yard.

Zi Lan also jumped out of the chair and rushed out of the door, "Brother, brother."

She has more favor and trust in this little boy, probably because she doesn't have to be too careful when she is young.

Although my parents are really nice to her, they are always worried that they will be found to be Xibei products, so they will inevitably be a little restrained.

"Sister, when I came back, I passed by the street and brought you a small windmill for you to play with."

Zi Yan held a small windmill in his hand, and when it blew up, it started to spin, coaxing the child to play.

Zi Lan held it in her hand and played with it, smiling happily, "Thank you brother, brother is so nice."

"whee."
