    "Hua Xi, I didn't expect you to have such a skill after looking at Wen Wenjing." Wanlan was surprised. She really didn't realize that this relative of the Mu family, who usually had no sense of presence, could win over Mrs. Yu and Xian.  The concubine¡¯s blue eyes.

    Youlan was more interested in what the incense was about and asked, "Huaxi, please tell me how the laughing orchid incense is made?"

    Hua Xi lowered his head and smiled shyly, and said: "This flavor of orchid is more particular about the selection of ingredients. You should choose cloves for a penny, and choose ones with a spicy smell; woody fragrants for a penny, choose ones that look like chicken bones;  For one penny of agarwood, you need to scrape off the softer part; for one penny of white sandalwood, choose the one with thicker and greasy balsam; for one penny of cinnamon, choose the spicy one; if you don¡¯t have one penny of Huihe incense, you can use white cardamom instead. Combine these six flavors  Grind it into powder. Then prepare five points of musk and five points of leucoderma. Use two qian of Nanpeng sand, grind it finely first, and add Rutuosin and musk to it. Then mix these evenly with refined honey, and add mabo  Two coins, stir it into a fragrance. Wrap it in a new oil paper, put it in an urn, take it out after a month, and immediately roll it into pea-sized balls, then shape it into cakes, and it's ready."

    Youlan was a little stunned when she heard this, and said in surprise: "Oh, so complicated?"

    Mrs. Yu also heard Yin Chengzong mention some things about making incense on weekdays. Naturally, she was not as surprised as Youlan and others. While listening, she silently observed Hua Xi. When she talked about making incense, she inadvertently revealed her look of eagerness.  She felt so dazzling, so different from her usual humble demeanor. The question gradually rose in her heart, could that person be her?

    Mrs. Yu gathered her thoughts and asked, "What's the point of using this fragrant wine?"

    Hua Xi replied: "Put a fragrant cake in a bottle of wine, melt it, and seal it with bamboo shoot leaves. Soak for three days in spring, one day in summer and autumn, and seven days in winter. You can drink it after opening, and the wine will have a mellow aroma. However, it is a personal preference.  Differently, the time of brewing wine can be adjusted.¡±

    Wanlan glanced at Huaxi with admiration, "No wonder Concubine Xian likes it, your fragrance is really rare."

    Yun Lin and Yun Ning felt quite uncomfortable after hearing this.

    "I heard Mrs. Yu say: "Well, the empress also said that this fragrant wine has a mellow aroma, but she didn't know that the aroma is so exquisite. Huaxi is so talented, it's no wonder that our prince is eager to ask you for advice."

    This sounds a bit off.

    Huaxi didn¡¯t want to be tabooed by Madam Yu, so she hurriedly said: ¡°Huaxi doesn¡¯t know a few recipes, how dare he give advice to the county prince.¡±

    Seeing her like this, Mrs. Yu shook her head and said with a smile: "Haha, my ability is my own, and it is a real thing. The prince only has a few hobbies, and he runs a shop outside, so he will naturally want to ask for advice when he meets a master. Sister Huaxi, you  There is no need to be so frightened."

    "Well, if the prince and his wife find a useful place to visit Huaxi, just give them instructions." Huaxi looked at Mrs. Yu with a slightly scrutinizing gaze, lowering his head slightly and looking away.

    Outside the door, Mu Xiangqing's personal maid came to invite Mrs. Yu and others.

    "Mrs. Yu, ladies. Madam, please move forward and get ready for the banquet."

    "Let's go!" Mrs. Yu was the first to stand up and walked to Hua Xi and said, "We will disperse later. Don't leave in a hurry. I still have some things I don't understand and want to ask you."

    Huaxi nodded in agreement.

    Yunlin and Wanlan followed Mrs. Yu out of the house. When Yunlin passed by Huaxi, she glared at her, making Huaxi look confused.

    Yun Ning came over and held her hand, and chuckled: "Don't pay attention to the fourth sister, she is jealous. My sister has a pair of skillful hands. Mrs. Yu mentioned you to the Concubine Xian. You will be summoned by the Concubine Xian tomorrow."  When you go to the palace, don¡¯t forget the sisters at home.¡±

    Huaxi was slightly startled, Yuning had already gone out.  Youlan enthusiastically pulled Huaxi to ask questions. Huaxi didn't have time to think about Yunning's words, so she and Youlan talked together and went to the east courtyard to have dinner.

    After finishing the meal, Mrs. Yu caught Hua Xi and asked some trivial questions about spices, and then left in a hurry.

    Mu Xiangqing sent away the guests, and finally sent away the Cheng mother and daughter.  When Wanlan and Youlan left, they pulled Huaxi to ask about rose facial balm and perfume. Huaxi lied, saying that she had someone bring them back from outside, and privately told them that they were from Huaji Xiang.  Wanlan also asked Cheng to send someone back to have a look, and sell two boxes and come back to try it out.

    Mu Xiangqing left Yun Lin, Yun Ning and Hua Xi to talk for a while. The nanny came over holding Cheng Xiaolin, who was wearing a red-bottomed floral brocade coat.

    The little guy is almost one and a half years old. He has grown up a lot. He is pink and cute.  Yun Lin and Yun Ning were not very young, so they couldn't help but go up and tease the children when they saw them.  Cheng Xiaolin had begun to learn to speak, and could speak a lot of simple words intermittently. He was surprised by the unfamiliar Yun Lin.After teasing with Yunning for a while, he waved to Mu Xiangqing and shouted, "Mother, mother"

    Mu Xiangqing took Cheng Xiaolin over and sat on the kang, pointing at the three Yunlins and saying, "Brother Lin, those three are your sisters. Come on, call Sixth Sister! Call Seventh Sister!"

    After teasing for a long time, Brother Lin didn't scream. He blinked his little eyes and looked at Yunlin and Yun Ning back and forth. Yunlin and Yun Ning also looked at Brother Lin and waited for him to call someone, but they didn't want Brother Lin's little head to turn.  Then he was buried in Mu Xiangqing's arms.  After a long time, he turned around and looked at them secretly, but refused to speak.

    Mu Xiangqing smiled bitterly and said, "I'm usually as skinny as a little monkey, but why are I so shy today? Come on, call me sister! Look, that's the sixth sister, that's the seventh sister, and the one at the end is Sister Huaxi."  ."

    Brother Lin looked at Yun Lin and Yun Ning, then turned to look at Hua Xi. His little head paused, and he looked at it twice more, and then he opened his arms and shouted twice: "Hug, hug"

    The wet nurse on the side said to Mu Xiangqing: "Hey, madam, have you seen it? The girl only stayed here for a few days last winter, and Brother Lin still remembers it."

    Mu Xiangqing also looked at Hua Xi and smiled: "This little kid really remembers you. Come on, come here and give me a hug."

    Hua Xi was slightly stunned and quickly went up to pick up Brother Lin who was struggling in Mu Xiangqing's arms.

    As soon as Brother Lin arrived in Huaxi's arms, he put his arms around Huaxi's neck, rubbed his little head against Huaxi's face, and chuckled, "Sister, sister, hug"

    Yunlin¡¯s face twitched at the corners of her mouth, but she didn¡¯t speak.  Yun Ning said with a sneer: "Sister Huaxi is very popular. Not only does Mrs. Yu want to talk to you now, but our brother Lin is also only close to you"

    Hua Xi smiled and replied, "Maybe it was Brother Lin who got close to me because he was familiar with my smell."

    Yun Ning smiled teasingly, "I'm sorry Brother Lin has turned into a dog."

    Before Huaxi responded, Mu Xiangqing said from the side: "Children know the taste. Brother Lin had two wet nurses in Quanzhou before him. He was not familiar with it when he first took it over. Brother Lin refused to eat it.  I won¡¯t be willing to open my mouth to suck milk until I hold her for a day.¡±

    Yun Ning didn't want to be flattered, she glanced at Hua Xi and Brother Lin, and shut up and stopped talking.
