[Check-in]
[Honeycomb briquette formula 1: It is composed of a mixture of raw coal, carbonized sawdust, lime, red mud, charcoal powder and other base materials, and a flammable combustion aid composed of nitrates, potassium permanganate and other materials, and has 12 pores.]
Honeycomb briquette formula 2: 20% smokeless coal powder, 30% clay, 45% sawdust, add appropriate amount of water, stir evenly and then make honeycomb briquettes according to conventional methods.
...
Looking at the recipe for honeycomb briquettes, Le Shu smiled; she had finally figured out the correct way to use the system.
In the following days, she posted two more guides: one on how to build a heated kang bed and the other on how to handle wool.
The appearance of the "Complete Guide to Wool Processing" was accidental. Xiao Lan bought a small piece of mutton from the main kitchen. It was quite fresh. While eating the mutton soup, Le Shu asked what kind of sheep it was. Xiao Lan said it was Mongolian sheep. Le Shu casually muttered that it would be great if there was wool. The next day, a "Complete Guide to Wool Processing" appeared.
Half a month later, Le Shu and Xiao Lan rebuilt the kang (heated brick bed) and made honeycomb briquettes. The quality was naturally not comparable to modern ones, mainly because they couldn't gather all the ingredients, but it was still very good.
The problem of keeping warm for the master and servant has been solved.
"Princess, you are so amazing, you can do everything."
Looking at the new kang (heated brick bed) in front of her, Xiaolan was not only warmer but also safer. As for the honeycomb briquettes, Xiaolan was even more impressed. The honeycomb briquettes, made from not-so-good coal powder, yellow mud, and some other strange things, were much more durable.
Le Shu smiled and said, "You're very capable too. I might not have been able to make it without your help. Let's have mutton soup tonight!"
"Okay, I'll do whatever you say, Princess."
Although life was hard for the master and servant in this remote little courtyard, they were very content.
"Winter is coming, it should snow soon. Buy more cotton so you can cover yourself with an extra blanket at night and avoid getting sick from the cold."
"Princess Xie, this servant will go and buy it right away."
The next day, as expected, it snowed heavily, covering the world in a silvery blanket.
"I heard there are several plum trees in the manor. It's snowing today, come with me to take a look."
"Princess really should go out for a walk."
Le Shu went out wearing a silver-red dress that was neither new nor old. The red color made her look even more delicate. Xiao Lan was stunned and murmured, "Princess is so beautiful! If only Master could see her, he would definitely not want to neglect her."
Le Shu laughed. Xiao Lan's logic was simple: she went out today just to try her luck.
As for whether she would be lucky or not, Le Shu didn't know. However, she did know that if she wanted to live a better life, she needed to meet the master of this mansion. Otherwise, no matter how capable she was, she would have nowhere to use her abilities.
It was snowing heavily, and not many people came out. Xiao Lan led the way, and they didn't encounter anyone along the way. Finally, they arrived at the plum trees.
The plum blossoms bloomed beautifully despite the cold. Le Shu stayed by the tree for a long time, then personally cut a few branches, which she and Xiao Lan carried back home.
After they left, Yinzhen and Su Peisheng emerged from the shadows.
"who is she?"
Su Peisheng had never met Le Shu either, but he quickly came up with an idea: "If this servant is not mistaken, it should be Consort Chang?"
Yinzhen asked with a hint of doubt, "Gege Chang?"
Su Peisheng explained, "This year's imperial concubines were chosen by the Empress Dowager. They fell ill as soon as they entered the palace, but judging from their appearance now, they have almost recovered."
Yinzhen gave a normal "hmm" and then returned to the front courtyard.
Su Peisheng followed behind, thinking about the appearance of that Lady Chang. He thought to himself, no wonder she fell ill as soon as she entered the mansion. She is lucky to be alive!
A few days ago, Yinzhen fell seriously ill, but he has recovered and is still recuperating, so he does not need to perform his duties.
The reason I came to the backyard today is because Consort Li said that the Second Prince was sick again. Yinzhen went to see the child, but Consort Li couldn't keep him there. When Yinzhen returned, he ran into Yue Shu and Xiao Lan, who were admiring the plum blossoms, in the shadows.
All I can say is that Le Shu is lucky.
Le Shu had no idea that Yinzhen had seen her. She was only thinking that she still had to go out tomorrow. She had no connections, and Xiao Lan couldn't find out Yinzhen's whereabouts either.
Using silver is fine, and she doesn't lack money. However, without reliable connections, the risk is too great. She's afraid that if she doesn't get any information, the Fujin and Consort Li will know that he's "restless."
Now that the problems of food and heating have been solved, Le Shu decided to go out and try her luck from time to time. There's still a whole winter left, so she'll surely have a lucky break sometime.
The next day, after Le Shu got up and dressed, the snow had stopped, but there was a thick layer of snow in the yard. Xiao Lan got up early and swept a path through it.
Le Shu got excited and decided to build a snowman. She had studied painting and sculpture, and before long, a woman who looked very much like her was built. Xiao Lan stared wide-eyed at the sight.
"Princess, you're amazing! This snowman looks just like you!"
Xiaolan isn't good at praising people, and her words are simple and unadorned, but they are indeed comforting to hear.
"I'll build another one, just like yours. Go and make some ginger soup; I'll drink it later."
"Yes, Princess."
Xiao Lan went to the tea room with a cheerful tone, leaving Le Shu alone in the courtyard to build a snowman.
It was at this time that Yinzhen entered.
Le Shu was so engrossed in her work that she didn't notice anyone coming in. Seeing that his master had no intention of making a sound, Su Peisheng slowed down his pace as well.
It wasn't until they got closer that Le Shu realized someone was coming. She looked up and was stunned for a moment before quickly saying, "Greetings to Master, may Master be well."
"Get up."
Le Shu got up, and Yinzhen looked at the snowman she had built and praised it, saying, "This was built in your style, and it's quite well done."
"Thank you for the compliment, Your Highness. Would you like me to make one for you too?" Le Shu asked tentatively.
