Chapter 152

Cui mengzhang watched his wife and maid hurried back. After the chat, she didn't know which wife the other party was.

"Excuse me, but is it Mrs. Hou, Mrs. Pei?"

Cui mengzhang turned around and talked to a girl who was as rich and graceful as a lotus in water. She was a servant woman with a bun and a pomegranate flower hairpin. Behind her, she followed two women and led a little girl who was about the age of a dancing spoon. She was carved like powder and jade, with a little cinnabar in the center of her eyebrows, like the jade girl in front of Guanyin.

"I am, you are..."

Woman: "my husband is Wu Yue, the Minister of Dali temple, and his mother's family hedongliu. It seems that my family has some distant relationship with your elders. It's just that my little sister and I often pray in the nunnery. We don't know much. If we don't dislike calling me to clear the pool, this is my sister Chengxin."

When she mentioned her name and surname, Cui mengzhang remembered that the Boling Cui family and the Qinghe Cui family were indeed related by marriage. It is said that Liu Qingchi and Liu Chengxin were both born with lotus blossoming in front of the Buddha, and were ordered by a Taoist monk from the capital. They were named after "rubble peeping at the hue of a lonely cloud, Qingchi Haoyue shining on the Zen Mind". Qingchi Haoyue said that the Zen mind was clear and empty, so they also adopted this name, The two sisters were very smart since childhood. Later, they were sent to the nunnery to practice with their hair. They were not able to leave until Liu Qingchi grew up.

Later, Liu Qingchi married the current Secretary of Dali temple. It is said that Lord Wu will be promoted soon.

This is not the reason why Liu Qingchi came here. The key is that father-in-law seems to have said

Liu Chengxin has an engagement with Pei Shuo!

It was the late one who married the Liu family.

Thinking of Pei Shuo, Cui mengzhang was uncomfortable again. "Qingchi, let's talk as we walk."

……

Sun Changxin goes another way to meet princess Chang. Princess Chang asks her to come and sit down. Everyone in the garden can be seen in the small hall here.

The eldest princess took out the glass bottle and shook her wrist. The clear liquid swirled in the glass bottle, and the bottle reflected light. Sun Changxin looked at the eldest princess curiously, and saw that she handed the bottle to her hand: "this is the rose dew made by a servant girl in my family. It is said that the roses were cooked together with boiled mountain spring water. During this time, you can't use makeup powder, so you can use the dew to pat your face every morning."

"How can this work?" Sun Changxin subconsciously pushed back: "it's too valuable."

The eldest princess: "you are the niece and daughter-in-law of the palace, and you are also the old friend of the palace. You are more valuable than rose dew. Take it."

However, sun Changxin had to accept it. She looked at Princess Chang shyly and opened the rose dew with her nod. Suddenly, a rose fragrance rushed out of the bottle. She could smell the sweet fragrance without getting close, and her mood suddenly became better.

"Zhuang Xuan, thank you." She tightened the gilt silver cover and put it in her sachet. She was afraid of spilling it on the road, and put it into her sleeve together with the sachet.

"You're welcome. This rose dew can be drunk. The servant girl in the palace made three rose dew, which can be eaten. If one is used together with the filtered rouge, and then cooked in a pot, the rouge will have the fragrance of roses. Another is to take only a few drops and wipe them off the wrist, collar and back of the ear, which can replace the sachet and lavender. " The long princess said, speaking of this, looking at the ladies in the garden, she was ready to move:

"How can the palace show off to them?" The eldest princess wanted to show off for the first time in her life, but she didn't know how to start

Sun Changxin couldn't laugh or cry. Holding this flower feast together is to show off that his servant girls can make rose dew. On second thought, rose dew is a rare commodity in the capital. In the past winter, flowers are in full bloom in spring, which is the best time to make fragrant dew. If you successfully make rose dew, jasmine dew, Magnolia dew came into being, and lotus dew in summer Orange leaf dew, sweet clover dew in autumn, sour orange dew in winter and plum blossom dew can have topics all year round.

"Eh, did the sour orange dew you sent by Zhuang Xuan and the rose dew be made by the same servant girl?" Sun Changxin asked, "that's simple. Invite some ladies to drink rose clear dew. They will be curious when they smell the fragrance."

"That's the reason." The eldest princess smiled, so she waved and sent a servant girl to invite the familiar ladies to sit down.

Without her speaking, the ladies first praised the long princess's flowers. The servant girls brought some rose honey. The white porcelain was filled with clear plum red soup. There was a dense fog. There was no need to get close. The fragrant aroma had told the guests what it was.

The ladies stopped chatting, picked up the white porcelain lamps, smelled the taste first, and then tasted: "is it the match of rose and tea? It seems that I can't taste tea again. "

"It should use a method similar to plum blossom frying snow."

"No, if it is' plum blossom frying snow ', the color of the soup will not be similar to that of red plum. It should be more red or cherry."

Several ladies argued fruitlessly. They turned their attention to the long Princess and said a fair word to the host family.

The long Princess raised her mouth. "It's not complicated. Stir the rose dew with a small spoon into the honey water and take it every day to improve her face. This kind of clear dew is not sold on the market, and the roses selected in it are not the most gorgeous and ordinary roses in the garden. They use ordinary roses for pastry filling. "

Rose dew and honey water.

The ladies looked at each other and felt that the white porcelain bowl in their hands was valuable. They seemed to drink gold and tasted it more carefully.

"With the blessing of the long princess, we are lucky to taste the rose dew given by the emperor."

Princess Chang: "madam, you're wrong. It's made by my servant girl."

“……”

“……”

"How can it be? The fragrance is not bad. It's the rose dew given by the emperor!" One of the ladies couldn't help being excited, "the minister and woman have lost their manners."

The eldest princess finally felt what it was like for them to proudly show off their Qinglu at that time, and the mood was particularly comfortable“ It doesn't matter. The palace understands. " She smiled and bent her eyes. "At that time, the servant girl made it. The palace didn't believe it, but the smell was really good."

Happy, she generously asked the maid to bring the bottle of rose dew with particularly complicated practices. Only the lid was opened, and the aroma was intoxicating. Rao was one of the ladies who was good at making incense. Her husband's family was also an imperial merchant supplying spices. She could not smell the practices from the aroma for a time, but felt relaxed in a sea of roses.

Madam: "there are many capable people under the eldest princess. We can't catch up with her."

Princess Chang: "no, it's just the product of the servant girl's whim. It takes time and a lot of materials. Unlike the powder dew produced by Mrs. Ning's Suxin Pavilion, it is concerned by the women's family members in the capital."

Mrs. Ning's heart lifted up. She didn't know what the long Princess meant, and thought to herself.

Sun Changxin glanced at a cat with bright fur in the flowers, curiously moved to the railing, put her hands around her abdomen and looked at the cat at a close distance.

The cat pounced on the butterfly wholeheartedly, but there was still someone staring at it.

The butterfly seemed to tease the cat. It flew to the moon arch and flapped its wings to attract the attention of the little white cat.

It stopped, it was also accumulating its strength and vowed to throw the butterfly at the ground.

A sudden swoop——

"Oh!"

At the same time, the porcelain plate fell to the ground and blossomed.
