Strange love across time and space

As soon as Phantom heard that Su Qing was going to Prince Jin's Mansion, he said anxiously, "My subordinates can go in directly to inquire. There is no need for Miss to go in person." Su Qing felt funny when she saw Phantom's appearance and asked, "Why are you anxious?" Phantom was stunned for a moment. The subordinate just thinks that there are differences between men and women, so it would not be good for Miss to go directly." Su Qing smiled playfully, "There are differences between men and women? Are you sure these four words are useful to me? If I cared about the differences between men and women, I would still support you when getting in and out of the carriage. Hand? If I care about the difference between men and women, can I tolerate you putting your hands on my head many times at night and using your consciousness to enter my dreams?" After saying a few words, the Phantom lowered his head and turned red. Su Qing felt even more interesting now, and teased, "Ah, why are you still blushing? A thousand-year-old vine demon can't stand teasing like this?" As he said this, he always raised Phantom's chin with one finger, and Phantom held Su Qing's hand. Qing held her hand and looked at her tenderly, and finally couldn't help but say, "You clearly know my feelings for you, and Prince Jin is also interested in you. I don't want you two to have any contact. Also, I also know that you are interested in you." I'm not heartless. I know you don't want to get married. Although I don't know what you have experienced that makes you so resistant to marriage, but I don't care. I just want to be with you forever." Su Qing was stunned for a moment, but it was just a moment. In an instant, he quickly retracted his hand and said seriously, "Phantom, although you and I like each other, it doesn't mean that I will lose my mind for you, nor does it mean that you can influence my decision! I am a human, and humans are social animals. I live in an official family, and social interaction is a must. I want my family to live a good life and not be framed by others. I have to fight for some benefits, rely on some big trees, and make use of the resources around me. , to achieve your goal. Phantom, remember, you are here to repay my kindness, not to control me! I am very happy that you like me, but I am not your wife, and I will not be someone else’s wife in the future. , I just want to be free.”

After hearing what Su Qing said, Phantom's heart sank, and he said softly, "I overstepped my bounds. I won't do it again." Then he said slowly, "I don't want you to beg anyone for your life. Whatever you want, I can give it to you." Su Qing looked at the phantom and softened her voice, "Can you use your magic to help me? This time my father was arrested, you used your magic to help me make the Queen, Xiao Yong and Tang Jiye look like this. Unfortunately, even if there is no clue left, someone must be suspicious. If you use magic to help me every time I encounter trouble in the future, the emperor will not be able to tolerate the Su family. When the time comes, if you use magic again, your life will be ruined. , this is not what I want to see. So Phantom, promise me, try not to use magic when doing things in the future, unless your life is in danger." Phantom stared into Su Qing's eyes, nodded, and said softly, "I promise you , whatever I do in the future, I will tell you in advance, and I will do it after you agree. Don't be angry with me, okay?" Su Qing nodded, showing a shallow smile. Seeing Su Qing smile, Phantom felt relieved and asked, "Are you still going to Prince Jin's Mansion?" Su Qing thought for a while and said, "I won't go. If he sends people here again in the future, as long as they don't get too close to the Su family." , don't worry about it." Phantom was happy to hear that Su Qing was not going to Prince Jin's Mansion, and quickly responded.

On the afternoon of the next day, Jiang took Su Qing to an empty courtyard in the Su Mansion. As soon as Su Qing came in, she saw that one of the walls in the courtyard was piled with pine wood, and there were several large boxes on the ground, all of which were filled with ready-made soaps. Mold, Su Qing asked in surprise, "Mom! Did the craftsmen make the mold so quickly?" Jiang smiled proudly, "Butler Li found several craftsmen to work together to make so many. Qingqing, how many craftsmen did I find?" She is a smart girl who has signed a death contract. There is no need to worry about the formula being leaked. We have to make soap quickly and try to make a big profit before the year!" Su Qing thought for a while and said, "For insurance and efficiency, my daughter I think it’s better to do this.” Then he whispered a few words in Jiang’s ear. Jiang nodded repeatedly after hearing this. Ask Aunt Lin to divide the maids into five groups, with two people in each group. The first group is responsible for burning pine wood and sending the ashes from the burned pine wood to the second group. The second group is responsible for mixing the ashes and water evenly before settling. Scoop out the water above the sediment. The third group is responsible for refining lard. After the people in the second and third groups sent the gray water and lard to the fourth group, the people in the fourth group mixed the two and added an appropriate amount of salt and spices. Stir evenly and place in a cool place to solidify. Finally, the fifth group of people sorts and packages the solidified soap.

As soon as he said it, Su Qing explained to each group in detail the precautions for making, especially the ratio of pine ash to water, and the ratio of water to lard. After the work started, Su Qing supervised the work of each group for half a day, making sure that they could get started before they felt relieved. I was busy like this for two days, and by the morning of the third day, the first batch of soap came out! For this batch of soaps, Jiang and Su Qing made four kinds of floral scents: peony, osmanthus, jasmine, and magnolia. The wrapping paper used for each soap has the pattern of its own flower! One hundred pieces of soap of each flavor were made, for a total of four hundred pieces. Su Qing was very excited when she saw her first mass-produced soap. Jiang immediately asked someone to send 300 pieces of soap to her dowry shop. The remaining 100 pieces of soap were planned to be given to some merchants in the next few days. Good lady, send it to you. Ever since Su Qixuan was promoted, Mr. Jiang has attended many banquets and made a few friends with whom he can talk. The personalities of those ladies are as straightforward as Mr. Jiang, so they don’t usually talk when talking. So many etiquette rules. Jiang decided to send a few bars of soap to each of these ladies and let them publicize it in their respective circles of friends.

Su Qing felt that this was too slow, so she suggested that Jiang hold a tea party and invite all the ladies and gentlemen from the powerful families in the capital to come. At the banquet, each person would be given a piece of soap. Wouldn't it be faster to promote the tea party like this? After hearing this, Ms. Jiang immediately clapped her hands and praised Su Qing for being smart and a good business prospect! Ask Butler Li to send invitations to each mansion, and hold a banquet in Su Mansion two days later. In the past two days, Su Qing helped Jiang prepare the decorations and items for the banquet. I also have to check on the progress of soap production when I have time, and I am so busy that my feet don’t even touch the floor.

In Prince Jin's Mansion, Prince Jin was leaning on a chair in blue uniform, holding a piece of white soap in his hand, which was the jasmine soap in the first batch of soaps made by Su Qing. Prince Jin put the soap under his nose and smelled it. The fragrance of jasmine made people feel intoxicated. King Jin murmured, "Qingqing Soap? Is it really made by Su Qing herself?" Qianfeng immediately handed over his hand, "Yes, although the person we sent to watch the Su Mansion was beaten by the man named Phantom, but the subordinate They also asked a few people to keep an eye on several of Mrs. Su's shops. Yesterday, they saw several boxes being transported from the Su Mansion to the Rouge Shop. The people below were suspicious, so they went in and bought a piece of this thing called soap. The shopkeeper She was very proud to say that this was made by the eldest daughter of the Su family herself, and it is much better than pig pancreas. Moreover, my subordinates found out that the Su family sent invitations to many people in Beijing, saying that they would attend the Su family dinner in two days. "Tea party." King Jin raised his lips and smiled, "Tea party? I also want to see it."

Soon, the day of the tea party arrived. Early in the morning, Su Qing changed into formal clothes, asked Qingzhu to comb her hair into an exquisite bun, and came to the front hall to greet the guests. The phantom turned into a vine flower and fell on Su Qing's hairpin to protect her.
