All-round way to money

"Not staying overnight?"

She stayed until dinner, and Chu Ran made it herself. Nala had no chance to show it before, so she simply fried a bean sprout, a melon slice, steamed an egg custard, baked a pancake, and Bi Ying, who took care of the meal She didn't think anything unusual, seeing that the food was too simple, she added four more dishes, two meat and two cold, and brought a soup.Adding two more staple foods is considered satisfactory.

Today's emperor has a very tricky mouth, and he can tell which dish is made by Chu Ran as soon as he tastes it.But he is not picky about food, he ate everything Chu Ran made, and tasted a few mouthfuls of the others.

After eating, he sat for a while, then got up to go back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Chu Ran didn't think much, and asked directly.

Asking about it made the servants around him lower their heads and wish they didn't exist.

"I won't stay. Wait until you finish rearranging the house." After speaking, he whispered into Chu Ran's ear, "I still have to miss the former empress." The dead ex-empress is still very useful. Observers are more useful.The infatuated character must stand still.In fact, wherever there is so-called true love, it is all political needs.Qianlong knew this, and so did Empress Fucha, so they cooperated well.If you really love so much, there will be no such thing as high noble concubine, nor pure noble concubine, Jia concubine, or Ling concubine.There are so many individuals in the harem, but nothing is delayed, where is the true love?

Chu Ran is not the Nala clan, she has never engaged in palace fights, but when she was watching the excitement in the Yushui Palace, the master used the palace's personnel affairs as an example to teach her some schemes, how to control people and so on.As soon as she heard this, she knew that she was going to use the Fucha family.The Fucha family without the queen can really use it with confidence.

"Then you go and get busy, I'm also very busy. I have to change the layout of the palace, and I have to clean up the Hall of Mental Cultivation when I have time. I haven't done too much with the harem. I understand. Those accounts of the Ministry of Internal Affairs are quite interesting..." Before I was not sure that the emperor was the master, I just listened to it, but now it is no longer the case.

"You can figure it out. This will be our home in the future, so we have to find a way to live our lives."

Don't think about it too complicated. Whether it's an imperial palace or a Qing Dynasty, it's just a living at home. The couple are the masters of the house. How can they feed their parents and children well, and let the rest of the family not go hungry? Don't be bullied by outsiders, that's what they have to do.

"Understood." The male lead outside, the female lead inside.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs is the housekeeper of the royal family, and it is dedicated to serving the royal family, so I will start with the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Dinner is not at night, it is between [-]pm and [-]pm. This summer, the days are long.After dinner, it was still daylight.You can also have about two hours of free time.

Chu Ran asked the little eunuch to go to the Manufacturing Office of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to find the person who made the soap.She also asked Mo Xiang to take the little girls to replace the bedding and bed curtains with bright colors. She didn't like those dull colors.Sandalwood is also withdrawn.It smells bad and the quality is not good, she will have to replace it with one from her own space later.As for those flowers and plants, they smell fresh and are well maintained, she quite likes them.

Yourong directs people to busy themselves, changing this for that.Those of them who serve people have the most winking eyes. As soon as the emperor came, the two of them chatted in the room for half an afternoon. When they walked forward, the imperial concubine started to make big moves. They all thought it was the emperor's request, and they were afraid of getting hurt. The imperial concubine's face is only said in private.This concubine and wife are different after all.Now, according to the routine that Chu Ran just mentioned, the entire Yikun Palace is redecorated.

There is no shortage of people in the palace these days, just change the decorations, and don't move much, don't move or lift, it will be replaced in a while.They were all very quiet, trying not to notice the sound.

Bicha, who was in charge of clothes and jewelry, was also rummaging through the box. The old clothes were obviously not worn, and the new clothes were turned out. Most of them were dark colors, all of which were suitable for Nala's current age, which was regarded as a middle-aged woman.She asked to find out the few clear ones.Su is not afraid at all, as long as it is bright.The old jewelry was also put away, and after conferring the imperial concubine, the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent a lot of new jewelry, all of which were in line with the new status.

After a while, the little eunuch Taiping brought three people over.One was in official uniform and the other two were in overalls.Come in and salute, be careful.The official is the head of the sixth rank of the Zaochu, named Chen Xiding.I thought it was the imperial concubine who was dissatisfied with the soap.

The two craftsmen are father and son, the father is called Wang Fengshou, and the son is called Wang Chuanqian.Chen Xiding said that before the father and son joined the craftsman, they were shopkeepers in the streets and alleys, specializing in selling their own homemade pig pancreas.Because of their good work, they are famous far and near.Later, a lady in the palace proposed to make soap, and the two of them had been conscripted into the palace for more than ten years.The fancy soap was developed by their father and son.From the very beginning of the pig pancreas soap to the real soap made now, the father and the father have done nothing else for more than ten years.

OK, then this is a real expert.

"I came to you just to ask, can this soap be made simpler? These patterns look so good-looking, and I'm not willing to use them. If it's made simpler, square and square, Don’t care if it looks good or not, as long as it’s easy to use, can you save some money?”

To change the world, Chu Ran wants to start by changing soap.

Wang Chuan paid back the money, "If you only make soap, you can save more than ten times. Now that the scent of flowers is only refined, a piece of soap costs a few taels of silver..."

This guy is less than 30 years old, and he is relatively simple in scientific research.When Chu Ran asked, he said it directly, scaring his father and pulling his sleeve.

"It's okay, just say what you have." Chu Ran took the initiative to dispel their guard.

Then he asked, "Then don't make floral fragrances, and don't put anything in there. How much money do you think a bar of soap the size of a palm would cost?"

Wang Chuanqian didn't answer directly this time, he thought about it seriously for a while, and discussed with his father before replying, "If you don't add anything, just use some oil and lye, it won't take much For silver money, a bar of soap is enough for three or five Wen. It’s just that it’s too rough, and the nobles don’t like it. Ordinary people might as well buy the cheaper pig pancreas soap…”

This person is okay, although his words are not pleasant, but he told the truth, he didn't say that everything the master says is right, and what is wrong is also right.That's right, I don't have a little bit of stubbornness, so I can't do research work.

"What if you add some milk and goat's milk petals or something? You don't need to extract the essence, just simply process it and add it, okay?"

Of course it is possible, but Chu Ran can't say it directly, it needs to be guided.

In fact, the soap sold in Wang's soap shop is almost made in this way.Because of the craftsmanship of the two of them, the family bought a house and shop in the capital, and lived the life of a small rich family.Naturally, the things in the palace cannot be sold outside, but the craftsmanship is their own, and Wang Fengshou not only has one son, but the two younger ones still do this business at home.It doesn't have to be so elaborate, and the sales are also very good.It's just that Wang Chuanqian didn't really get home after all, and revealed the family's old foundation.Now that Chu Ran was together, the two father and son pretended to be head-to-head for a while and heard that it was true, and they kept saying that the master and the empress were wise.

"Then, what if we add herbs to it? For example, I usually scratch my fingers while tending flowers and plants. Would it be useful if I put herbs in the soap that can help heal wounds?"

"I never thought about it, we don't know the properties of medicine..."

Chu Ran was waiting for his words.

"Okay, then tomorrow morning, Wang Chuanqian will come back and bring all your soap-making tools. I will call the imperial doctor, and we will study it together. Mo Shu, reward. Chang Qing, this matter You bring someone to arrange, see what you need, give it to Zhang Luo, and tidy up the outermost room at the west corner of the front hall and give it to him. Then go to Xinzheku and pick a few girls with quick legs and dexterous hands to help."

Chang Qing just took the imperial physician to elder brother's mansion to see a doctor in the morning, and the emperor happened to be there when he returned to the palace, and he went to deliver the medicinal materials again, before he came back, the master arranged another errand for a cup of tea I don't have time, I'm so busy.But there was a smile on the man's face, it was a proud smile, and he didn't feel tired at all.Turn around and get busy.

Chen Xiding saw that the master and the empress did not order, so he took the Wang family father and son to leave.After leaving the palace gate, while wiping off his sweat, he told the two fathers, "You two have had great luck, the imperial concubine and master have a good temper, and are well-known in this palace, and it will be in your own interest to handle errands well. "

Wang Fengshou bowed his head and smiled flatteringly, "It's all because of your promotion." People who have been shopkeepers and walk around the streets are the most able to bend down when they are used to seeing people's eyes.

Back at the soap-making workshop specially allocated to them in the craftsman's office, the father and father hurriedly packed up the soap-making tools, and Chang Qing sent a little eunuch named Fuguier to follow along to see what was needed, and write it down on the list for him to use. Let people prepare.Old Wang told Wang to string money over and over again, that he must do his errands well and finish what his master and empress ordered.

If Chu Ran needs anything, just arrange for someone to do it. Too specific work is not something she needs to worry about.

After arranging the matter of making soap, I asked someone to go to the imperial hospital to say in advance that an imperial physician who is good at pharmacology will be sent over tomorrow morning.

The sun was just about to set at this moment, and the Forbidden City was in the sunset, so she didn't have time to appreciate it, so she directed the people to re-arrange the flowers in the yard.

Aquatic plants, such as narcissus and lucky bamboo, were placed in the east room where she often stayed and on the window sill of the bedroom. On the kang table, there was also a shallow water basin not much bigger than a water bowl, with a water lily in it.

The reason why there are so many aquatic plants is that she secretly replaced the water with the water in the space.The water was when the saints were sanctified, and the spiritual rain fell from the sky. She collected the spiritual rain water, and used the mature gourds on the gourd vine under the eaves of Yushui small courtyard to make a water bottle, and filled several large gourds.That is spiritual water with merit.It doesn't take much, once you put it on, the whole house will be different.Not to mention the fresh smell, people stay in the house and their minds are clearer.

For other things, you have to take your time and change them slowly.There are old people around her, she knows what she has and nothing.Not easy to operate.

Candles were lit at night, the shadows were burning, the shadows were shaking, and the light was not good. Chu Ran only made two plates of snacks in the small kitchen for You Rong to send to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to the emperor, and she took a rest early up.

The next day I still had to get up early in the morning.

After changing the spiritual rain water, my body is nourished by spiritual energy at night, I have a good rest, and my whole body looks better.Last night's ink book also chanted when he got up early, for some reason, he was on a night shift, and he seemed to be more energetic when he got up early.The waiters all over the room flattered, saying that the master knows how to grow flowers, and the flowers have grown aura.

Ha ha.

Flowers are really magical.But it really wasn't raised by your master.

When dressing up this time, Bicha cleverly took it over and asked Chu Ran to choose light-colored clothes. Even though it was summer, she had to wear three layers, with obscene trousers in the belly pocket and a flag dress. There is also a layer of gauze on the outside, which is good-looking, and there are quite a lot.No matter how good the material is, no matter how thin it is, it cannot see through. For the sake of draping, it is not so light.Chu Ran chose the light green one.In addition to the flag head, Chu Ran has already combed her hair as simple as possible. She wears jewelry of the same color and feels that her hair is quite heavy.

Let's do it.

Just after tidying up, the concubines came to pay their respects.

Turn to the main hall, take the main seat, and look down.

This Concubine Jia is "obedient" enough, she was told yesterday that she is heavy, and if she didn't make trouble to come to pay her respects, she really wouldn't come.

If you don't come, don't come, and don't even send someone to say.

Okay, if she doesn't come, she has a reason for being heavy, and Chu Ran also said that she doesn't have to come.

If Mrs. Lin didn't come, what reason could there be?Concubine Wan is the head of Yanxi Palace, and she seems to be feeling unwell.

Yourong whispered in Chu Ran's ear and reported, oh, got it.Yesterday afternoon, the emperor came to Yikun Palace to stay for half an afternoon, Lin Guiren heard about it, and smashed a glass in the palace, he was jealous.

Chu Ran confirmed once again that the people here are really not very smart.who are you?What are the conditions and reasons to be jealous?

Are you a concubine or a queen?Are you jealous?

"Since you're not feeling well, take care of yourself and don't come out. Tell the respect room and remove Lin Guiren's green head card. Don't live in Yanxi Palace anymore, and let others get over your illness. Let her Move to the garden outside the palace to recuperate well."

I just wanted to stand up, and when I fell asleep, someone rushed to deliver pillows. Thank you so much.

With her handling, the expressions of the concubines below are different, some are watching the excitement, some are gleeful, some are hurting others, and some are expressionless.

Concubine Ling spoke, "Imperial Concubine, Younger Sister Lin is valued by the Emperor. She has always been respectful. She must be in poor health. Isn't it a little heavy for you to deal with it like this? The Emperor knows that, I'm afraid he will blame her?"

Put the emperor ahead of everything.I don't know if you want to intercede with Lin Guiren, or are you stirring up fire?

"The emperor is dissatisfied, so he will come and talk to me. Why, do you still use Lingfei to convey it? Lin Guiren is not from your Yongshou Palace. I remember that the emperor hasn't asked Lingfei to assist you in the harem? You just Are you in such a hurry to manage the concubines for me?"

Among them, she believed that she was the chosen one, and she was wholeheartedly waiting to be the empress dowager, Chu Ran didn't want to give her a good face at all.

One by one, what do you think?No matter how bleak the end of Nala's family, no matter how miserable it is, now that she is just gaining power, she is so ignorant of others, is she crazy?At any rate, she has been a queen for 17 years. These 17 years, how many days are there?

When Chu Ran said this, Concubine Ling immediately stood up and pleaded guilty, saying that she didn't mean that.

"It's fine if you don't mean that." Chu Ran didn't bother with her either.

She was busy with work today, Wang Chuanqian and the imperial physician came over, she didn't have time to spend time with them, so she sent them away.

Concubine Chun was not in a hurry to leave, the relationship that was just a little closer yesterday had to be maintained today.Concubine Wan didn't leave in a hurry, so she apologized, the honored person who lived with her made a mistake, so the master was also responsible.Lu Guiren has not left yet, she lives in the side hall of Jingren Palace, waiting for Concubine Chun, and by the way, has a relationship with the new owner of the harem.They have all been in the palace for many years, they are all old acquaintances, and they are quite comfortable getting along with each other.

Others are either unfamiliar with that family, or have obvious factions.The few suspected concubines who had time-traveled were all firm concubines.There were also nobles like Concubine Shu who didn't stick to each other, and they all went back to the palace directly.

Chu Ran didn't ask Concubine Wan to plead guilty, what kind of pleading guilty, she is an honest boss with a false prestige, what is she doing.This elder sister is one year older than Nalashi, and they both entered the mansion in the same year, Nalashi is Chuan Fujin, and she is Gege.I have known Xiao Xiao for 20 years, and no one knows who.Sit down and talk together.

Today just happened to be the day to invite Ping An pulse. Xue Yuanjuan from the imperial hospital came in person. There was nothing wrong with Chu Ran, except for a little dampness and a little coldness in the palace, which were all very mild.Every woman at this age will have a little bit of ailment more or less, it's not a big problem.There is no need to avoid people, the old doctor is very stable, and he didn't prescribe any medicine. He just wrote a recipe and let the diet therapy take care of it slowly.In fact, it's okay if you don't adjust, it's not that the imperial concubine just came to power, and she used to be under the supervision of ordinary imperial doctors.

"Your Majesty, this Imperial Physician Ye is a descendant of the old Imperial Physician Ye. He is very skilled in medicine. If you have any orders, just leave them to him." The imperial concubine went to ask for someone, and Xue Yuan sent him here in person.

"My lady, what are you going to do?"

When the old doctor was sent away, Wang Chuanqian was called over, and then the doctor Ye was called to ask about the medical theory. The concubines were all curious, and Lu Gui, who was the most lively, asked.

Among the time-travelers, she is rare with a little brain.At least there is no particularly obvious stationing concubine, maybe because she came early and has not been favored, she is quite Buddha, belonging to the harem Nakata type.

"I want to see if I can make some medicinal soap."

Chu Ran didn't elaborate.

Everyone in Xiangzao knows that a pure noble concubine is favored, and she has them in the palace.The other two have also been heard and seen but never used.When I heard it now, I was curious.

Then let's listen together and study together.

Especially Lu Guiren, after listening for a while, he felt that he had found a place to use his skills.She doesn't understand the principle of these things, but she has seen too much before time travel, so she knows the result.Soaps, handmade soaps, transparent soaps, those for washing hands, those for washing clothes, all kinds of scented ones, she has used a lot.

Is it possible to give an opinion?

Relying on the knowledge of later generations, her small-mouthed comments provided a lot of inspiration for Wang Chuanqian. Coupled with the medical theory of Ye Taiyi, the discussion among the three was so heated that they were about to fight.

"All right, let's not just talk here. The tools are ready-made. You can make things according to your own ideas. Isn't it over if you talk about the real things?"

Chu Ran had a great time watching it, but she couldn't watch them quarrel.Let them do experiments, anyway, the house is ready to be used as a laboratory, let's go play.It happened that the Ministry of Internal Affairs came to pay the bill, and she didn't have time to listen to their quarrel and play.

Just go, the three of them won't accept each other.Then Concubine Chun and Concubine Wan watched the strange ones and followed suit.In addition to the twelve smart maids Xin Zheku found, and a few helping eunuchs, there are a lot of maids serving around, there is nothing to shy away from, let's see.

Chu Ran told Master that there was a problem with the accounts of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but he was not in a hurry to do it right away.Those people still have the same attitude today, and she still listens, everything is as usual, and there is no routine to ask the emperor.Send people away quickly.

The soap making place is in full swing, and those watching the excitement have no intention of leaving.Let the small kitchen bring all their meals and eat together.

There are many people, it is lively, and it is also very good.

"My sister's flowers are growing really well. I've been in this room for half the morning, smelling the scent of flowers, and I feel relieved." Yes, overnight, the smell is gone, it's full of the fresh scent of flowers and plants. It's a hot day, I didn't use ice or fan in this room, but I don't feel hot.When the news is clear, people feel refreshed in their hearts, and naturally they don't feel hot.She knew that there was something good about them.

"It's because the narcissus blooms well and grows in the water. There is a lot of water in the room. Later, I will ask the girl to send you two pots." She has plenty of Lingyu water, so she can get a lower depth one. , when we make friends.When this person was favored before, he had just met Concubine Gao twice, and then he was dealt with badly. The emperor didn't make decisions for her at all, and she has been very honest since then.

"Your Majesty, listeners have a share, but we listened. We don't want to compare with the imperial concubine, just give us a pot." After staying for half the morning and having a meal, the concubine could see that the imperial concubine really didn't think about it. Blame her, and people let go. She is not pleasing to look at, unlike the Korean-style delicate little beauties Jiafei and Lingfei. She has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and has a rough temper. In terms of Qianlong's aesthetics, it is not that there is something wrong with her.Chu Ran quite likes her temperament, and getting along with such a person is not tiring.

"Everything is fine, everyone has a share. When I pick a good one, I will send it to you. Guiren Lu also has it." As he spoke, he explained to Mo Xiang and asked her to help memorize it.

Lu Guiren was making soap at the moment, and he did it all by himself. After eating in two or three bites, he ran back to continue his work.Physician Ye also took action.Wang Chuanqian had to tell them how to do it first, and then do it himself.One set of theories per person, toss.
