Unable to bore holes, Yan Ge could only take a step back. Like making a brush, he bound the pig hair together and used a pair of scissors to cut the fur short. Then, he dug a hole in the side of a thin bamboo joint and stuffed it with pine resin. He then put in the end that was wrapped around the pig's mane. Pine resin has a good viscosity and does not fall apart easily. When the turpentine dried, a knockoff toothbrush was made. It wasn't beautiful enough, but it was practical. Since he succeeded, Yan Ge had conveniently made two more.
Next came toothpaste. According to Yan Ge's knowledge, no matter which toothpaste it was, it would consist of four parts: cleaning agent, friction agent, adhesive and aromatic agent. All he had to do was mix the salt, mint, turpentine, and aloe to make it into a cream. Salt can eliminate residue, mint can kill bacteria, loose powder can sticky, aloe can dispel inflammation.
"Xiao Chuanzi, go to the Supreme Hospital and ask for some mint and aloe flowers. If they don't want to give them to you, buy them for free. There's no poison in these two things, so we should be able to get them. " Yan Ge was very willing to spend money just for his teeth, so he handed over 2 taels of silver to Xiao Chuanzi. Fortunately, Yan Family was rich, and before entering the palace, Lady Yan gave him a hundred silver taels and two hundred silver taels. Otherwise, the happy days of brushing your teeth with toothpaste will only happen in your memories.
"Yes, Young Lord." Xiao Chuanzi took the silver and quickly left for the imperial capital. He was also very curious about the things that the young master did.
Soong Ruhao was dancing with his sword in the garden, Du Zhengfeng and Zhou Wenhan were watching by the side. Apart from the guards in the palace, they were not allowed to carry weapons privately, this sword was only a wooden sword.
Inadvertently catching a glimpse of Xiao Chuanzi's figure, Soong Ruhao kept his sword and asked curiously: "Xiao Chuanzi and Wan Xiang have been going in and out of the garden these two days, I wonder what has happened at Chunfang Garden."
Du Zhengfeng said: "It should be fine, right? I didn't hear anything special. "
Soong Ruhao nodded, and indicated that he and Zhou Wenhan should go to the pavilion to sit, "Yan Ying seems to be out of place with us, it isn't boring for me to be alone here."
Zhou Wenhan snorted lightly, "Yan Qianyin is too high up in the sky, how would you want to be with us?"
Soong Ruhao and Du Zhengfeng could only smile.
Yan Ge did not know that his closed door cultivation had already aroused the suspicions of others. Once Xiao Chuanzi bought the item, he immediately started to make the toothpaste, mashed the mint and aloe, grinded the dried pine resin into powder and mixed it with the salt to turn it into grass green cream.
Yan Ge sniffed it and nodded in satisfaction. The fragrance of aloe and mint combined with the smell of turpentine was not unpleasant. However, due to conditions, the shelf life would not be too long. If he had the chance in the future, he might as well ask the imperial physician if there was any way to increase his lifespan.
Wan Xiang and Xiao Chuanzi, who had been watching this entire time, felt astonished. They also went over to smell it and praised: "Little master, it smells really good. How do I use this? "
"I'll know in a while," Yan Ge said as he dried his hands with a handkerchief. "Wan Xiang, put it in a small porcelain bottle."
The wide mouth of the small porcelain bottles had already been washed beforehand to dry. Wan Xiang carefully filled the ointment inside with her spoon. The four small porcelain bottles were all filled to the brim, there were still some remaining.
Yan Ge boiled the toothbrush in water and used a spoon to scoop up the remaining cream on the toothbrush. He then picked out a teacup and went to brush his teeth.
Wan Xiang and Xiao Chuanzi, who were watching from the side, suddenly realized something. They admired their master deeply, and felt that their master was too smart.
The toothpaste had a little too much salt in it, and the taste was slightly salty, but the brush felt good on the teeth. After Yan Ge finished brushing his teeth, he took a deep breath and took a whiff. There was no unusual smell at all, and there was even a refreshing fragrance, which made him even more satisfied.
He said to Wan Xiang and Xiao Chuanzi: "This is called a toothbrush and toothpaste, they are used like I did just now. Oh right, the soup spoon is too big, it will not be of much use to him.
"Yes, Young Lord."
Yan Ge said again: "Have you two remembered the steps of making the toothbrush and toothpaste?"
Wan Xiang and Xiao Chuanzi hurriedly said: "I remember."
Yan Ge passed two sets of toothbrush toothpaste to them, "I'll reward these two to you guys, in the future if you serve me more, you will definitely have your benefits."
Wan Xiang and Xiao Chuanzi were pleasantly surprised as they kneeled down, "Thank you for your gift, Young Master! "This slave will definitely wholeheartedly serve little master!"
"Get up," Yan Ge reminded, "Once this thing is open, you must cover it up in time. If the weather is too hot, it will easily break, so there's no need to use it sparingly. "You can just do it after using it."
"Yes."
After resolving the problem with the toothpaste and toothbrush, Yan Ge once again idled away, getting Wan Xiang to borrow some books from the library to pass the time, and then pondering over the possibility of making money in the palace. Women's money was the easiest to earn. The inner palace had the most women, and they both liked and excelled in competition. It was such a developed market. If he could open his "company" in the palace, he might be able to leave a mark in the annals of history. A trace of interest flashed in his eyes as he thought of this, but he also felt that it was a bit whimsical in his heart.
Wan Xiang and Xiao Chuanzi, look at me. What is young master thinking? The smile on his face was very strange.
At this time, a high-pitched voice came from outside the door.
"Cheng Tian Palace's little Zhongzi requests an audience with Yan agree."
Surprisingly, Yan Ge put down the book in his hand and asked Xiao Chuanzi, "Who lives in the Sky Bearing Palace?"
Xiao Chuanzi might look young, but he was smart and had a good amount of information, "Reporting to Young Master, Consort Zhao lives in the main hall and Worthy Lady Tian lives in the Sky Bearing Palace. Apart from them, there are also a few others who have accepted and agreed to it. "
Yan Ge instructed: "Let him in."
"Yes."
Xiao Chuanzi led a seventeen or eighteen year old eunuch in, and it was Little Zhong Zi who knelt down respectfully.
"This servant, Little Zhongzi, offers greetings, and agrees to Lucky."
"Get up." Yan Ge said.
"Thank you," Little Zhongzi stood up and said, "I agree. Our little master, Worthy Lady Tian, wants to see you."
Yan Ge was startled. Worthy Lady Tian? He was the one who had recently been promoted to the position of noble. He could not think of why the Worthy Lady Tian would want to see him, but since the distance was higher than his, it was not good to not see him. He smiled and said, "After entering the palace for so long, this young master has yet to go pay respects to the Worthy Lady Tian. You lead the way. "
"Yes." "I agree to your request."
Yan Ge brought Wan Xiang and Xiao Chuanzi to follow Little Zhongzi out of the Hall of Spring Wind.
This scene was coincidentally seen by Soong Ruhao and the other two.
Zhou Wenhan was suspicious, "Where is Yan Shu going? That little eunuch seems to be at Worthy Lady Tian's side. "
Du Zhengfeng asked curiously: "How do you know he's at Worthy Lady Tian's side?"
Zhou Wenhan was a little embarrassed, "I met him by chance." He couldn't say that in order to get out of bed early on, he had almost made a preliminary investigation of all the people in the palace.
The palace was indeed worthy of being called the residence of a nation's master. It was indeed huge, Yan Ge followed Little Zhongzi for more than twenty minutes before seeing the three words "Sky Bearing Palace".
"I agree, please." Little Zhongzi gestured towards the door.
Yan Ge nodded.
Just as Wan Xiang and Xiao Chuanzi wanted to follow him in, they were stopped by Xiao Zhongzi, "The person that your benefactor wishes to see can only agree to it strictly."
Wan Xiang and Xiao Chuanzi looked at Yan Ge.
Yan Ge suddenly had a bad premonition and signaled Wan Xiang and Xiao Chuanzi to wait outside before going in alone.
Upon entering, the first thing he smelled was a thick scent of makeup. Four Palace Maid s stood at the sides with their heads down. In the seat above, a beautiful woman wearing a peach-red dress was seated, with the Great Palace Maid standing beside her and the other two Palace Maid s standing behind her. This beautiful woman was Worthy Lady Tian.
There was no taboo in meeting the male consort and the imperial concubine, and it was only after Yan Ge had entered the palace and read the book that he knew that the man with the flower body could not react to women. Legend had it that Empyrean God had bestowed too much luck to the man, and so had taken back his right to bear children. Historically, except for a few lucky men who entered the palace to be concubines, the flowery men had either lived alone until they were old, or they had fused with other men. It was no wonder that the harem would allow the female imperial concubine and the male consort to coexist, because they did not need to worry about the possibility of the emperor being cuckolded.
Yan Ge thought back to Lady Yan's strange reaction when he mentioned his identity as a flower, and inwardly regretted not asking clearly at that time. Unfortunately, it was useless to regret now.
"I promised Lady Yan to pay my respects to Worthy Lady Tian, it is good luck."
Worthy Lady Tian's facial features were small and delicate, her smile was very sweet, and her voice was also very sweet, "I agree to dispense with the formalities. to offer Yan a seat to look at her tea. "
"Thank you, Worthy Lady Tian." After Yan Ge expressed her thanks, she sat down silently and waited for Worthy Lady Tian to speak.
The Worthy Lady Tian looked at him for a long while before saying, "The reason you've invited me here today is actually to request a favor from you. I wonder if Yan can agree to it? "
Yan Ge's attitude was neither fervent nor cold. As usual, he smiled and said: "I wonder what business does Worthy Lady Tian have? What ability does Attendant have? I'm afraid he can't help. "
Worthy Lady Tian said: "Since that's the case, this young master will be direct. I heard that Yan Ying had a type of toothbrush and cream that was very useful in rinsing your mouth, so I'm quite interested in it. "
Yan Ge was startled, and frowned. He had told Wan Xiang and Xiao Chuanzi not to tell anyone about the toothpaste and toothbrush, and he himself had never mentioned it to anyone else. How did Worthy Lady Tian learn it?
"This young master has never heard that cream can brush one's teeth. Even the emperor only rinses his mouth with tea. For the past few days, the emperor had been a bit upset. This young lord wanted to make him happy, so he promised to borrow some cream to share his worries with the emperor. I wonder what Yan Gang's intentions are? "
Yan Ge laughed to himself. Worthy Lady Tian's words did not only imply that he was above average, they also implied how much the Emperor doted on her. Not only was it disrespectful to the emperor, but it was also against her, if he did not agree to offer the toothpaste and toothbrush. The Worthy Lady Tian was truly intelligent to be able to receive such a long period of affection from the Emperor. Unfortunately, she didn't understand, whether she was favoured or not, she had to say the word "endure" in order to survive in this deep palace.
Seeing him not say anything after a long time, and even saying that he was unwilling, Worthy Lady Tian's face suddenly became cold, and said indifferently: "It seems like this young master has made it difficult for Yan to agree. "Sigh, if the Emperor were to come tonight, I'm afraid that he would have to frown."
Yan Ge stood up and bowed, "Worthy Lady Tian has misunderstood. Attendant just did not think that the cream would gain the Worthy Lady Tian's favor. Attendant will get someone to send over the toothbrush and cream, and write down the method to make the toothbrush and cream. "
Worthy Lady Tian revealed a happy face, her laughter became even sweeter, "Then thank you very much for agreeing. This young master thanks you on behalf of the Emperor. "Someone, bring the green tea of Tianshan that the emperor bestowed to this young master a few days ago as a gift."
Yan Ge thanked him and accepted the reward.
Worthy Lady Tian said: "It's getting late, this young master will not keep you any longer. Qiu Yue, send Yan Qian back to the Hall of Spring Wind on behalf of this young master. "
"Yes."
After Yan Ge and the Great Palace Maid Qiu Yue left, the Worthy Lady Tian's smile became even more beautiful as she said, "Spring Flowers, you also have rewards too."
"Thank you, Young Master." A Palace Maid behind Worthy Lady Tian knelt down respectfully with a joyous expression.
