"But you have to be careful when picking petals. Although picking petals is easier than picking fruits, you have to sort them by color. If they are white, then pick all white petals."

Lin Gui taught Cui'e the details, and Cui'e also learned them carefully.

She has to stay here for a while. If she doesn't do her job well, people will suspect that she is not here to make money.

Lu Qianqian brought Jialan over and picked some petals. Now that the dyeing and embroidery are on track, the perfume project is also about to begin.

When she arrived at the flower field, she saw Lin Gui with someone Lu Qianqian didn't know. From the way they were talking, they seemed quite familiar.

"Sister-in-law!" Lu Qianqian shouted.

It was at this time that Lin Gui noticed Lu Qianqian's arrival.

Cui'e had noticed someone coming, but she didn't know him, so she pretended to listen to Lin Gui talking and didn't notice the person coming.

"Qianqian, have you had breakfast?" Lin Gui said with a smile.

Lu Qianqian nodded, "I've eaten, come and get some petals to take back."

"You need that color, we'll pick them for you."

Lu Qianqian smiled and said, "No need, Jia Lan and I are enough, sister-in-law, you can take care of yourself."

Since it’s just the beginning, Lu Qianqian doesn’t need too many petals. She came here today to try other scents of perfume, so she didn’t pick many.

"Okay, then you guys go ahead and get busy, we'll go over there." After Lin Gui finished speaking, she took Cui'e to the other side of the flower field, leaving the petals here to Lu Qianqian.

Only then did Cui'e realize that the beautiful person in front of her was Lu Qianqian, and she was a little surprised.

Lu Qianqian looks completely different from a country girl. If she were outside, no one would know her and would think she was a daughter of some wealthy family.

This time, Lu Qianqian picked the petals of the Osmanthus fragrans. Last time she made something with the trumpet creeper, so this time she would change to another one to see how it tastes.

Lu Qianqian and Jia Lan began to pick flower petals. Lu Qianqian carefully selected flowers of various colors. She gently picked off the yellow petals and put them to her nose and sniffed. The fragrance of osmanthus was very strong.

"Miss, this flower is more fragrant than other flowers." Jia Lan said with a smile.

"Well, so when configuring this fragrance, it needs to be sparse, otherwise the overly strong fragrance will make people feel uncomfortable." Lu Qianqian introduced to Jia Lan with a smile.

They chatted as they picked the petals, and soon they had picked a small basket of petals.

"That's enough, Jialan, let's go back." Lu Qianqian picked up the basket and left the flower field with Jialan.

Cui'e, who was far away, glanced at Lu Qianqian when she left, and then carefully picked the petals.

After Lu Qianqian and Jia Lan returned home, they began to wash the petals.

The flower petals used for distillation must be cleaned and dried in advance before continuing, otherwise the perfume made will contain a lot of impurities.

While Lu Qianqian was researching new types of perfume, Shen Yalan had already returned to the capital with a car full of goodies.

When the Prime Minister's Mansion saw Shen Yalan's carriage, they immediately opened the gate and let the carriage drive in.

As soon as she got off the carriage, Shen Yalan met her second aunt Han Xue and her daughter Han Lu.

"Second aunt!" Shen Yalan greeted politely.

Han Xue looked at the carriage with a smile, "Yalan, are you back from Tianyuan Mansion again? I heard from your grandmother that your business has been doing very well recently."

Han Lu stood beside Han Xue and looked at Shen Yalan with a hint of disdain in her eyes. The girl was not afraid of being laughed at when she did anything to show off in public.

But she also knew that this was outside and she could easily be seen, so she could only keep smiling and stand aside without saying anything.

"Second aunt, you're joking. This is the only hobby that Yalan has. It's just a minor hobby."

At this time, Mingyu called the servants to move the things Shen Yalan brought back to her own yard.

Looking at the big boxes, Han Lu walked to Shen Yalan and said with a smile, "Sister, you took a lot of things again. I wonder what good things they are?"

Shen Yalan has produced a lot of good things recently, which are sealed tightly in these big boxes. Han Lu is a little curious.

"It's not a good thing. It's the goods sent to the palace. It's not convenient to show it to Second Aunt and Sister Lu here."

Shen Yalan couldn't see Han Lu's little thoughts, but the second and first houses were relatively harmonious, so Shen Yalan didn't say anything excessive, but just lightly interrupted her.

Han Xue smiled and said, "Yalan, you just came back. Go back and have a good rest. Lu'er and I won't disturb you." After that, she took Han Lu away.

After the two of them left Shen Yalan's sight, Han Xue's smile faded. "It's just a small thing, but you are so short-sighted. What do you like, but your parents didn't get it for you."

Han Xue really didn't know if her daughter learned this petty nature from others, as neither she nor her father had such personalities.

Han Lu snorted, "I just can't stand her. A girl who shows off all day long is really embarrassing for our family."

Han Xue glanced at her daughter and said, "If she likes to do this kind of thing, let her do it. This will also save her from competing with you for a good family. Especially during this period of time, don't cause trouble for her. Your grandfather is very optimistic about her."

Shen Yalan used to have a good relationship with the princess and the county lord, which had already made her status in the family more than a little higher. Whenever there was an invitation to a banquet, the first person everyone thought of was the eldest lady Shen Yalan.

Now that the young lady likes to do market business, let her do it. This way, those who want to see her will not be attracted to Shen Yalan.

"Mom, I understand." Han Lu was coquettish but also obedient.

Han Xue calmed down a little when she saw that her daughter was obedient.

On the other side, Shen Yalan waited until all the things were put into her yard, and then asked Ming Yu to take out two fans and a piece of indigo cloth from the box.

Taking the things, Shen Yalan took Mingyu to the old lady's yard.

The four maids, Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter, who served the old lady, were now in the yard, drying quilts and clothes.

The weather has been good recently, so take out your clothes to dry in the sun, otherwise they will easily have a smell.

Seeing Shen Yalan coming in, Chunmei smiled and stepped forward and bowed.

"The eldest lady is back. The old lady just finished her breakfast and is worshipping Buddha in the Buddhist temple."

As her grandmother's granddaughter, Shen Yalan is of course aware of her grandmother's habit, which has been maintained for decades.

"Okay, I'll just go in and wait for a while."

Chunmei took Shen Yalan into the living room. As soon as Shen Yalan sat down, Qiuju brought her tea.

"Miss, have some tea. The old lady will be done in a while."
