    After the first seven days, Zhenyuan Hou was buried.  According to Dahua regulations, the funeral of a duke will be held in three months after the funeral.  However, it was already summer, and even if there were ice blocks, it would be inappropriate to leave the body for a long time.  The Mu family asked for a decree, and the funeral ceremony was held on the 77th and 49th day of the funeral.

    On the day of the funeral, Huaxi stayed in Qixia Garden, but hearing the loud crying outside, she thought the ceremony would not be too small.

    After the funeral, Mu Mansion was as usual.  Except for Madam, who became Old Madam, the names of the others remained the same.

    In addition, there is an extra incense room in Qixia Garden, which is a benefit that Huaxi received from the Xiao family.  Now she spends half of her day in the incense room.

    It turned out that when Huaxi had dinner at Mrs. Xiao's house last time before going to worship, Mrs. Xiao asked about the sachet she gave to Hongliu. Huaxi took the opportunity to mention that she could make incense and asked Mrs. Xiao what she liked.  With the smell of flowers, she can make all kinds of incense with floral fragrance. She secretly wants to get some incense-making tools and raw materials from Xiao.

    Mrs. Xiao did not answer, saying that she was too old to use the scent of flowers and leaves, and chatted with Hua Xi about other fragrances.

    Unexpectedly, as she was talking, Mrs. Xiao suddenly had a headache. Huaxi and Mrs. Wang helped her lie down.

    Huaxi had an idea and hurriedly said that she would make some medicinal incense, which would be useful for treating headaches, but she was suffering from lack of materials and utensils.  Upon hearing this, Mrs. Xiao agreed to let Huaxi make incense in Mu's mansion after the funeral, and also asked people to prepare utensils and raw materials for her.

    The incense Huaxi makes these days is specially prepared for Xiao.  As for the matter that Xiao had mentioned about clearing her name, it seemed that it had never been mentioned again.

    Huaxi didn't take it seriously, but Dingxiang was a little dissatisfied, "It's been half a month since the funeral ended. Has the old lady forgotten about clearing your name?"

    "It's okay to forget it. Miss Mu's status is both nice and hot to say. Besides" Will Mu Mansion be a Hou Mansion?  Now the uncle is still the uncle

    Hua Xi curled her lips, and without stopping, added two spoons of distilled water to the stone medicine grinder, sprinkled a handful of shredded Xiongxu pieces, grabbed the handle of the grinder with both hands, and ground it until the Xiongxu in the medicine grinder turned into syrup.

    "Pour this medicinal slurry into a porcelain bowl, wait until the slurry settles, let it dry, and then grind it finely. This technique is called water flying. There are also ligusticum, Qianghuo, Duhuo, chamomile, and musk. According to this method, they are all turned into powder.  Keep it for later use. Once the white sand honey in the jar on the cage is boiling, move it to the charcoal fire of the red clay stove. Remember to simmer it over a slow fire until the water vapor is gone. If the honey drops in the shape of beads in cold water,  Even if it¡¯s finished.¡±

    Ding Xiang secretly wrote it down and asked: "What kind of incense will the girl make this time?"

    Hua Xi cleaned her hands and dried them with a cloth.

    "The refreshing wet incense is used to treat headaches. Also, remember not to let outsiders in the incense room."

    Ding Xiang asked: "Well, are you afraid that the recipe will be leaked?"

    Hua Xi shook his head, "Even if you know the ingredients, it's no use knowing how much and in what order. Besides, these are not things that can't be shared. I'm afraid that others will cut the ingredients This is your girl's cost of eating. Use it.  dessert."

    In her previous life, Huaxi was a perfumer in a cosmetics company. Fortunately, she had studied ancient prescriptions. Otherwise, in ancient times where there were no chemical raw materials and instruments, it would have been difficult for her to make suitable fragrances for Xiao.

    Since Huaxi started making incense for Mr. Xiao, the food in his yard has improved a lot.

    She doesn¡¯t care about others trying to find out the fragrance, she just takes the opportunity to please Ms. Xiao just to live a more comfortable life.  But since the prince's mansion is so big, there's no guarantee that someone won't be secretly thinking about it. As an outsider, you still have to be careful and take precautions.

    Ding Xiang nodded suddenly, "Oh, I'll save it, slave." In the past few days, Liu's mother had been teaching her about the rich family's deep residence. Ding Xiang also recovered from the initial surprise and excitement of seeing the luxury of the Hou Mansion, and acted cautiously.  many.

    After working all morning, Huaxi was a little tired. She leaned back on the wicker chair and covered her mouth with her hand and yawned. When she put down her hand, she looked at it carefully and muttered: "This hand is a little rough and the sensitivity has decreased. I need to take good care of it."  ¡­¡±

    Turning around, he ordered Ding Xiang: "When the money comes out in the next month, Ding Xiang, go to the big kitchen and get some goat's milk and cooked lard."

    Ding Xiang paused for a moment, pushed the roller again, and said, "Mother Liu is familiar with her, so why not let her go? You can get more."

    Huaxi felt something was wrong when he heard this, and asked as if unintentionally: "Oh, it seems that Liu's mother and Hongliu have been going to the kitchen these days. By the way, who did you meet when you went to the kitchen to get food a few days ago?"

    "It's the mother in charge of Xing, the three cooks, the two miscellaneous wives, and Wu Yushun's family" Ding Xiang thought for a while, humming at the end.He talked about someone Huaxi knew.

    "From Wu Yushun's family? Is she the mother who led you into the house?"

    Ding Xiang nodded obediently, but her expression was not very pretty.

    Hua Xi suddenly remembered someone and asked, "The person named Wu? Isn't he a relative of Wu Ming?"

    "It's his mother. There is also a girl in his family who is the eldest girl in the third grandma's room. I heard that she is quite favored. I don't know why I begged the third grandma to transfer Wu Ming back to the house or to a shop in the city.  work."

    Dingxiang was grinding the medicine with her head down, so hard that she wanted to wear the stone grinder through.

    Huaxi only thought that she was in a trance because she had something on her mind, but she didn't expect that it was because of this incident. She explained: "You are mine. You have been with me for so many years. In name, you are a master and servant, but in fact, you are a sister. I just returned home, even if I am not  Serious lady, if they have that idea, they have to ask me first. There is no reason to ask for someone through the master. Don¡¯t take it to heart when the ladies are chatting in the kitchen. Now I¡¯m catching up with the Marquis.  Newly mourned, I don¡¯t believe there is anyone who is short-sighted and dares to mention this matter at this time.¡±

    "Well! The young lady is good to the slave, and the slave will remember it all her life. The slave will always be with the young lady whether she is a cow or a horse. The slave does not dare to be the young lady's sister"

    Lilac's tears fell like broken beads, splashing on the stone grinder and falling into the dark medicine.

    Huaxi pretended to be angry and pouted: "Oh, stinky clove, you crybaby, pay attention to my incense. If the incense I make is salty, bitter, and clove-flavored, I will definitely ask you to marry a lilac farmer in the future."  of!"

    "Girl!" Ding Xiang burst into tears and smiled, stroking her tears and giving Hua Xi a look, "Girl knows how to bully me."

    Hua Xi handed a handkerchief to Ding Xiang to wipe her tears, "Okay, just don't cry. This incense grinding and making incense is a delicate job. It can calm your mind and calm your mind. Don't think about those things that are not there."

    Ding Xiang nodded heavily and began to grind the spices carefully.

    Qingshen wet incense is not difficult to make, but Huaxi uses water to make the spices more delicate, so they wait for the sediment to dry in the shade and then grind it. Finally, they mix it with the refined honey and press it into a fragrant cake with a mold. A series of procedures are completed.  It took some time.  It took four or five days to wait for the incense to be completely prepared.

    Huaxi sealed the fragrant cakes and took Hongliu to the Lotus Garden to pay respects to Mrs. Xiao.

    Mu Mansion was the private garden of a wealthy businessman in the former dynasty. Because Mutianhe guarded the border and made great military achievements, after returning to Beijing in his later years, the late emperor specially gave him this mansion as a reward.  Each courtyard in the park is self-contained and has its own characteristics.

    Huaxi hasn't strolled carefully, but she can also take a look at Xiao's road to ask Xiao's road. The scenery along the way is beautiful. Although they can't watch the whole picture, the scale of the entire Mufu is evident.

    Mr. Xiao lives in Hexiangyuan.  It got its name because there is a lotus pond next to the yard.

    As soon as Huaxi entered the inner courtyard, she heard Mrs. Xiao's voice coming from the main room, vaguely accompanied by the echoes of several young girls.

    Huaxi stopped and thought about whether he should go in later.

    Mrs. Wang came out from the inner room with a bamboo curtain, saw Huaxi, and hurriedly greeted her, "Miss Huaxi, the fifth girl from my uncle's family is here, and several girls at home are also here. The old lady invites you to go in and meet the girls.  Let¡¯s meet.¡±
