Chapter 507 Romance
Concubine Zhao Lian'er's condition improved before the lilac flowers withered.
Of course, it was Qiu Niang who secretly prepared the prescription and added it to the steamed chestnut flour cake with osmanthus sugar.
Zhao Lian'er went to the spice shop as usual to buy some galangal.
Du Zichun no longer concealed it and started buying galangal.
The main ingredients of kiang incense are agarwood, sandalwood, kalanchoe, magnolia, cloves, camphor, and ambergris. First, wash and remove the dirt from the agarwood, dry it in the shade, and sprinkle it with ambergris solution three times. Then, dry it in the shade, roast it, and grind it into a fine powder. Next, grind the sandalwood, preferably the Indian sandalwood, into a fine powder. Use the male cloves of Caryophyllus caryophyllus, also into a fine powder. Next, mix the three incense powders according to the ratio that Yuwen Cheng determined after much research. Next, take dried magnolia and kalanchoe flowers, grind them, and mix them into the incense powder. Finally, take an appropriate amount of camphor, grind it into a fine powder, and mix it with the previously prepared incense powder. When using, wrap it in a gauze bag, tighten the air vent, and store it in a closet. Alternatively, wrap it in a sachet and decorate it with jade and hang it in a meditation room for meditation and chanting.
"Your Highness, I feel a little sympathetic towards Du Zichun." Tu Mi had some free time and accompanied Zhu Huaizhen to listen to the opera, and couldn't help muttering a few words.
Orioles sing at dawn in the Jade Palace of Jinling, flowers bloom early in the Qinhuai Waterside Pavilions. Who knew the ice would melt so easily? I watched him build his red mansion, I watched him entertain guests, and I watched his mansion collapse! Here on this pile of mossy green tiles, I once slept in a romantic sleep, witnessing the rise and fall of fifty years. No one in Wuyi Lane is surnamed Wang, ghosts cry at Mochou Lake at night, and owls roost on Fenghuangtai. The dream of the ruined mountains is the most real, the old land is hard to lose. I don't believe this map has been changed!
The song "Peach Blossom Fan" was still being sung on the stage.
This time, Zhu Huaizhen did not eat Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, but drank Taoyao tea instead.
Take the peach blossoms on the third day of March and the white dew on the third day of September, and set out a set of tea-making utensils including a copper wind stove, willow charcoal, wrought iron fire tongs, small green bamboo clips, locust wood water cubes, and Yuezhou jade bowls, and wait for the first boil to produce small bubbles, the second boil to produce gushing springs, and the third boil to produce surging waves.
"It's a consensual thing, so what's there to sympathize with? By the way, you should expand your spice shop and provide separate private rooms for convenient perfume mixing, so that the distinguished guest can have enough peace and quiet." Zhu Huaizhen joked.
Tsk tsk, her Highness is going to make it easier for Du Zichun and Zhao Lian'er to have an affair.
"Du Zichun won't have an affair. At most, he'll give me a kiss and then roll around a bit." Zhu Huaizhen teased.
"Your Highness, should we prepare some gentle fragrance for them?" Tu Mi smiled as happily as a thief.
The ingredients of gentle fragrance are agarwood, orchid, clove, jasmine, magnolia, osmanthus and honey.
Fresh orchids, jasmine, magnolia, and osmanthus flowers are placed in a stone mortar and pounded into a floral paste. Cloves are ground into a fine powder, and agarwood into coarse grains. The fine clove powder and coarse agarwood grains are then mixed together and placed in the floral paste and further pounded. A suitable amount of honey is added to form incense pills, which are then pressed into incense cakes. After being pressed dry, they are then dried to produce the finished product, which is mostly used for fumigation.
Gentle fragrance, soft and delicate, quite charming.
"No need, Tumi." Zhu Huaizhen shook his head and laughed.
To put it bluntly, Zhu Huaizhen is a bit soft-hearted.
She wanted to see God's will and couldn't bear to bully a young man like this.
Young men should be unrestrained and fearless.
But her Xiao Ge was also a young man back then.
Zhu Huaizhen didn't believe that Queen Du was the only one who could deal with Xiao Ge.
I'm afraid that the entire Du family in Shangjing wants the treasure of the Great Zhou.
Then, don't blame her, Zhu Huaizhen, who is bound to destroy the hopes of the Shangjing Du family.
