All-round way to money

Soap is not made in a day.

It doesn’t take long to just make soap liquid. It takes less than half an hour for stirring and cooling, and then it is poured into a mold and waits for it to be formed. Depending on the ingredients, it can range from one or two hours to two or three days.If it is really usable, it must be placed in a cool and ventilated room to dry for at least a month.

The focus of the three people's debate was not on the specific production. The production was how Wang Chuanqian taught and how to do it. Lu Guiren and Ye Taiyi didn't understand anything and could only follow orders.What they are fighting for is the preparatory work in the early stage.If you want to put something, Lu Guiren can't wait to put in all the materials you can get to try.She wants to try everything from milk, goat's milk, flowers and fruits.Even cucumbers and persimmons are not spared.Not to mention that it is the time when the fruits are abundant in summer, and there are more than a dozen kinds of fruits offered by the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Yikun Palace at this moment.She wants to try.If Concubine Chun and Chu Ran hadn't unanimously opposed it, she would have dared to add parsley and eggplant, it would have been fatal.Wang Chuanqian said that the soap with flower juice directly put in it is not easy to preserve, and the taste is not as good as that with essential oil.The things made are very tasteless, the nobles don't use them, they think they are vulgar, and the poor can't afford them, so there is no point in making them.Physician Ye thinks that some medicinal materials can be tried, such as mint leaves, roses, orange peels and so on. There is no benefit and no harm.It can be like red dates, ginseng, lotus leaves, wolfberry, ginger, etc. Isn't that something to eat?What's the use of putting soap in it?And put ginseng, pearl powder and so on, what a waste.

It wasn't until Chu Ran said, let's have a look and see, then we stopped arguing.

After tossing all afternoon, it was time to hold the lamps, and there were more than [-] kinds of shapes.Bring it over for Chu Ran to see.

What does she think?

"Let Lu Guiren be responsible for the soap making. Imperial Physician Ye will assist you, and Wang Chuanqian will carry out the specific implementation. When the soap is ready, find someone to try it and see the effect. Report the cost and effect. Well done , this palace has a reward."

Chu Ran wouldn't stare at him every day, how many things he didn't do.It just so happens that Lu Guiren is interested, so I will give her a chance.

In the afternoon, she personally picked the flowers for Concubine Chun, Concubine Wan, and Lady Lu. The water was changed, but the concentration was lower.The flower variety of the pure imperial concubine is also better, and the depth of the spiritual rain is a little bit more, reflecting the difference in identity.Those who didn't pick and search only gave one pot to Wanbi and Lu Guiren, two pots each, it's fine if the quality is different.

Not forgetting the emperor's share, Chu Ran prepared a urn of water lilies exactly like the one on her kang table, and asked You Rong to send it to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and also sent the dinner along the way.It's too late to make breakfast, but Chu Ran will still make dinner and snacks by herself.You can't get the point wrong, just live your life, you can't always think about changing the world, and your own man doesn't care.Outrageous is not.

In the early morning of the next day, people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs came back and forth, saying that Lin Guiren refused to move to the palace after crying, making trouble and hanging himself, and they did not dare to force him.

Why don't you dare to use force? It's just to perfunctory her, the imperial concubine.Feeling that with Concubine Ling helping to speak, and Lin Guiren herself having favors, the Emperor will still stand by Concubine Chong in the end, and Concubine Huang can't do anything to them.

Okay, then you can just play it off, just right, let's see who is a human and who is a ghost.

What she is most focused on now is reading medical books. The "Golden Mirror of Medicine" just compiled by Tai Hospital is a treasure that can be used as a textbook.The ones in the study of the Hall of Mental Cultivation are all kept, and they were sent by Master.Know she is interested.You can't know medicine by accident.Besides, she only absorbed two books, "The Yellow Emperor's Canon of Internal Medicine" and "Shen Nong Baicao Jing".

You Rong is an old man by her side and an aunt who is in charge. She can ask some things that are inconvenient for others to ask, and she even gently reminded Chu Ran that there are so many business things that have not been done, and the harem is still a mess and has not been sorted out. Well, what is the use of reading medical books?When Chu Ran said it, she wanted to find a way by herself to find out why she hadn't been pregnant and how she could get pregnant quickly.No one said a word.Everyone thinks that having children is everything.The queen's seat can only be secured by having children.

Don't care how ridiculous this simple understanding is, as long as the reason is useful.

Chu Ran took it out and flipped through it when he was free. It was indeed a good book, and he knew it after reading it.But it can't show that she really understands, she has to read it when she has nothing to do, and she has to ask the imperial doctor from time to time, ask more questions, and show a good student attitude.

When the concubines came to pay their respects, their obvious attitudes were more perfunctory, and they couldn't control Mrs. Lin. Everyone saw the "essence" of the imperial concubine's bravado, so they didn't need to care so much.

Lu Guiren went directly to the soap making room to attend to her affairs after inviting An.Concubine Chun and Concubine Wan had just obtained good things, so their attitudes were naturally good, but they didn't keep any more.Said to wait until the soap can be used to see.It's really not good to stay in Yikun Palace every day, and it's not good to be too flattering.

When the steward of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the eunuch, the chief maid in charge of the former empress, brought people to deal with the errands, Chu Ran almost fell asleep.It was grinding and chattering, but there was nothing there.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I'm so happy!" Chang Qing yelled outside and came in, fell down at the door, lying on the ground with a smile on his mouth, as if he didn't know the pain, and smiled at Chu Ran.

"You're getting worse and worse, you're frizzy." Haven't all the powerful generals who didn't see the queen laughed at you?

Chang Qing doesn't care whether others laugh or not, from now on, except Wu Shulai and Li Yu, everyone will be short when they see him. "My lady, the emperor has just issued an imperial decree to make you a queen. He also sent Eunuch Li, the head of the House of Internal Affairs, and Aunt Youfu from the Qianqing Palace to serve as errands in Yikun Palace. The person who delivered the decree will be here soon..."

As soon as these words came out, all the palace people in the room knelt down to congratulate Chu Ran, the preparatory queen was still different from the real queen.Now that it is established, it is truly justified.

The queen's servants were first startled, then frightened, and then knelt down to salute one by one.

If they just made the empress, they might not be afraid, the empress is not the same as the empress, they always feel that they know the emperor, and think that the emperor will never hand over the House of Internal Affairs to anyone other than himself.They will not hand it over to the new empress, that's why they are so crazy, because they always feel that the waist is hard, and the imperial concubine wants to be her harem affairs in the harem smoothly, so she has to let them down.

Now, the emperor not only sealed the Queen, but also sent Li Yu and Youfu over.Li Yu is the chief eunuch of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.Even though Wu Shulai is the chief eunuch, he usually spends the most time with the emperor, but when it comes to trustworthiness, Li Yu is not bad.Youfu is the aunt in charge of Qianqing Palace, and she is also in charge of the affairs of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, who can be the aunt in charge of the emperor's bedroom?It must be a confidant with absolute trust.

The emperor allocated these two people under the name of Yikun Palace. To put it bluntly, they came to support the new empress.With these two assistants, who else in the harem can control the queen?

Still not convinced, what can I do?Waiting to be cleaned up?

As soon as the palace people got up, the messenger arrived.Li Yu and Youfu also arrived.

Accept the order and kneel down again.

The decree said that although the empress was conferred, the empress ceremony will not be held until the 27-month mourning period of the previous empress expires.But the supply and treatment should be according to the Queen's.

To put it simply, you don't tell the world, but you are a real queen with a reputation.

After receiving the decree, you have to thank the empress dowager first, then the emperor.

Chu Ran thought for a while, and didn't go to pay the empress dowager a visit for a few days.Everyone in the palace knew that she raised the flowers well, and she gave them to the concubines and the emperor, and Concubine Chun even publicized the effect of the flowers as if they were just picked from the Heavenly Palace.

It's not good if you don't honor the Empress Dowager with some good things.She is now a serious daughter-in-law.

Then send it.

I picked four pots of flowers, but this time I didn't send narcissus, they were orchids.I poured some spiritual rain water into the flowers, and the effect is actually not bad, and the water is submerged in the soil, once absorbed, the effect can last longer.But the concentration is poor.Queen Mother Niu Hulu can't give her too good things, she doesn't have enough.

Speaking of it, the mother and son pair of Empress Dowager Niu Hulu and Qianlong are also quite interesting.

Qianlong was said in history books that he was filial, and he was so kind to his mother.But look again, why is he being too strict with his father and his mother?Your mother is your mother, but your father is not your father?

So, Xiao Xiao, it just depends on whether he needs it or not.For the present one, that's even more so, don't hinder me, don't meddle in my affairs, then we should be mothers, loving sons and filial mothers.But if you want to control me, then let's talk about it.Needless to say, regarding the matter of Concubine Yi back then, he could not see his mother for half a year.Where is Xiao?

The empress dowager felt that she was the champion of palace fighting, but in the early years in the mansion, Fujin was an upright person who couldn't find any faults, and the prince also respected him, and at the same time, Fujin was the same in the limelight, so she was not qualified to fight.After entering the palace, when the queen and concubine Nian are around, no one can see her.Later, the Concubine Nian was gone, the Queen was gone, and the third elder brother was also disposed of. When the fourth elder brother finally came out, he thought she could be the No. 1 in the harem.Lord Yongzheng would rather take care of it himself than bother her.Her sons are actually treated as princes, and she has never been promoted to Prince Bao.To say that she became a noble concubine is to put gold on her own face. There is no record of noble concubine Xi in any record of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, let alone the canonization ceremony.Yongzheng never let her manage the harem for a day until his death.

When she came to her son, she wanted to use her life's grace to show her off, but she met a powerful daughter-in-law, and she couldn't fight.

Gradually, she found the most comfortable way of life by herself, that is, eating, drinking and enjoying the whole day of happiness, seeing whoever she wants to meet, listening to operas when she wants to, and playing when she wants to play What, sons and daughters-in-law will also find ways to get them, small and small, it doesn't affect them, it's up to her to find a decent husband's family for any girl from her natal family, and marry someone to a Zhuangzi shop. call the shots.After getting used to it, she also felt that this way is quite happy.

When you have to find some sense of superiority as a winner, you can argue with Concubine Geng.The two raised their sons in exchange. Before the third elder brother did something wrong, everyone was the same, and no one was more noble than the other.The third elder brother was gone, and Geng took the initiative to take a step back and respect her.If she had nothing to do with Geng Shi, she had to take Geng Shi by her side.The same adoptive mother, Hong Zhou has to respect her in front of her everywhere, and always behaves like the kindness of birth is not as great as that of nurturing.When she came to Qianlong, that was her whole life. The greatest contribution to the Qing Dynasty was to give birth to an emperor. Apart from the ancestors of Xiaozhuang, she contributed the most.

As for Concubine Geng, she is also very interesting, she has a really good brain, she lives a transparent life, and has a big heart. A woman who can drink with Lord Yongzheng can't go wrong with her brain.It is estimated that every time she tosses with others, they treat it as a small show.It can also coax her to be happy, without tossing others.Behind the scenes, Qianlong and Empress Fucha paid tribute to the good things there.

Master told Chu Ran all these.She listened to it as a story, but it was novel.

I also know that this queen mother enjoys extravagance and extravagance.In Nala's memory, there is also the memory of Shoukang Palace, but none of them have the shocking feeling that she really walked in.

What is resplendent and resplendent, what is painted pillars and carved beams, she has seen it.Fugui Nest, that's how it should be.

How should I put it, wealth is true wealth, but I always feel that something is missing.

Dazzling, but can't see the meaning.

Either the flowers are blooming and rich, or the phoenix is ​​wearing peonies, all of which are full of flowers and brocades, as if all the good things in the world are piled up together.

Ah, by the way, there is a word, maybe a little sticky with this situation, nouveau riche.

Just that feeling.

After entering the apse, there is a very expensive sandalwood fragrance. The empress dowager is dedicated to setting up a Lafayette for herself. There are three Buddhist halls in the apse. Read the scriptures for an hour.It is said to pray for the emperor and the court.

The one used in the Empress Dowager's palace is naturally the best fragrance, the smell is quite strong, but not choking.

Because the incense is burned a lot, there are not many flowers and plants in the apse, just the simplest ones.There are more than a dozen pots of rose orchids and seasonal flowers in the living room to beautify the environment.There are more utensils of all kinds of gold, silver and jade, and a few pieces of coral.

"The empress dowager is auspicious, and the empress dowager is safe."

"Get up."

After the simplest greeting, Chu Ran didn't know what to say.

Before she could think about what to say, the queen mother started to talk: "I heard that the queen is playing with soap in the palace? Those poor things, how much do you want to use? You are the queen, how many serious things do you need to do? Also, As a queen, I should set an example for my concubine, what does she look like when she is doing nothing all day long. It is right to take good care of the emperor, to have a few more children, and to extend the heirs..."

Ok?

What is this all about?

If you're an old woman from an ordinary family, it's okay to talk about this to your step-daughter-in-law.But your daughter-in-law is the queen, what are you talking about?Let's not talk about the soap, it costs a few dozen taels of silver, you don't take it seriously, if it's extravagant or not, put it away first.To set an example for the concubine, how many more children should I have?You didn't even understand your son's intention to make Nara the Queen, and you are still teaching people here?have a baby?Will a legitimate son be born and grow up to threaten his imperial power?

With this realization, I wanted to make a decision on the new queen, not to mention Chu Ran, but the original Nala family. Would you be willing to let her make a decision?Although that surname is also pretty good, she didn't figure out her own position. She has become a queen, and she still has to have a child, so she will cut off her hair regardless.But if someone can survive until he is in the back seat, there must be advantages. How could it be so easy to handle?

"Yes, what the queen mother taught me is that the concubine will remember it." Chu Ran's attitude was good, and he even saluted, looking very teachable.

Anyway, it's you who said you, after leaving Shoukang Palace, I can do whatever I want.I will admit whatever you say, and I will not change it, whatever I like.

Miraculously, her attitude really pleased the Queen Mother.She was very happy that the queen was so obedient.It was very face-saving to ask the noble mother beside her to put the four pots of orchids she brought in the most conspicuous position, to show her importance to the queen.Backhand also rewarded two plates of jewelry.

Yes, two plates.

There are two heads of ruby, two heads of pearls, and one head of emerald.And a bunch of bracelets, beads, chains, rings, armor, and so on, and the bangles are still studded with diamonds.Said to let her reward others.

That's really generous.

When Chu Ran thanked her again, she was much more sincere.

This is too coaxing.

At this moment, she was thinking in her heart that if she was Geng Shi, she would be happy to coax her.

After a good start, the rest will be easy to say.It's nothing more than thank you.It's all vocal.After dealing with it, I went back to the hall to meet Geng Shi, and Princess He Wan, who was raised by Geng Shi's side, was Hong Zhou's legitimate daughter, who was adopted into the palace by Qianlong, and grew up with his own grandmother, beside such a grandmother Upbringing, the little girl is very open-minded, cheerful, and very cute.When Chu Ran saw her, it was like seeing the little fox and Xiao Xi'er, and gave her a lot of things, and asked her to go to Yikun Palace to play more.

In order not to make the old lady unhappy, she didn't stay in the side hall too long, she just followed a procedure and came out.I have to go to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to thank the emperor.

As soon as the queen's decree came out, and she had finished thanking her, it was time for someone else to congratulate her.

There are so many things going on!

But at this time, I still had to keep a low profile. I only accepted the sign that was handed over, and didn't let him enter the palace.I only said to wait until after the post-sealing ceremony.

He took the sign of Nala's mother.

The old lady entered the palace, finished the national ceremony and family ceremony, and after sitting down, she held Chu Ran's hand and cried with excitement.Keep talking about the empress finally survived, and if she can give birth to a boy and a half girl for the emperor, this life will be complete.

Well, the elders all have the same idea.

Can't say.

Chu Ran left the old lady to have dinner in the palace, and told the family to keep a low profile at this time and not be taken advantage of by others.The brothers in her family have nothing to do, only a nephew, Nasuken, has taken over her father's title and official position as a leader, and has just been rewarded as a third-class guard, and he walks the door.I also admired a house in Youfang Hutong.That's it.They can't bear any more.It's not like the Fucha family, a wealthy family with a lot of children.The Nala family really doesn't have that kind of talent.It is better than anything else to live in peace and stability.

"In a few days, when the palace is sorted out, I have something to do with my nephews, so I must be stable now."

When she said this, the old lady felt that the queen hadn't forgotten her natal family, so she was quite satisfied.

When I got home and told my sons and grandchildren what the queen meant, the whole family's burning hearts would be much more stable.Keeping the door closed, it is easy not to make friends with the powerful.Rest assured to wait for the master and empress to arrange the work.

Li Yu reported to Chu Ran the performance of the Nala family, and Chu Ran was also very happy.This natal family is okay, a natal family that doesn't hold back is a good natal family.
