Li Wan gave the glazed prescription to Ji Liang, and then let go of it. The prescription was read at the beginning of "Journey to the World", and he didn't know it was a place where "gold and silver are as cheap as mud". , Still thinking about how to earn some money to give Laner a base.But seeing this, no matter how ignorant of general affairs he is, he also knows that this is a big benefit, and if he is not careful, he will become a piece of fat in the pack of vicious dogs.

A few days ago, Madam Xu came to deliver things for the New Year, and when she talked about those delicious bacon and smoked sausages, she realized that now Ji Liang was doing these chores in that firm, and only then did she think of the glaze recipe in the book.Look at that recipe is really easy, the crudest one can be burnt with sand mixed with soda noodles, and the finer ones are related to cleaning essence and annealing, etc. It’s not wordy, but luckily it’s just a matter of spiritual rubbing and imprinting , so he copied out the prescription and "imitated it" again, and entrusted Madam Xu to give it to Ji Liang, which was regarded as a help to him.Duan Gao has been given the term "steam power" in the previous episode, but now it is treated equally.What's more, after the colored glaze is made, I don't have to work so hard and troublesomely to deceive people if I want to build another colored glaze window in the future.

When I was young, Tanchun and Daiyu Xichun came, met Li Wan and saluted, Xichun said: "We even went to find the second elder sister, she was buried in her head and didn't know what chess to play, and she waited for half a day, but we really couldn't wait for her. A few come first." It turned out that this day is the Flower Festival, and Li Wan is going to take all the sisters to the garden to celebrate the spring.Tanchun also said: "At first, I wanted to invite Sister Bao to come and have fun together, but she is not free now, and my wife ordered her not to be disturbed, so I had no choice but to let it go."

Daiyu laughed and said, "If Yun'er is here, it will be worth the excitement of several people." Tanchun said with a smile, "Yesterday, Baoyu urged my ancestors to pick him up. I'm afraid he won't come until noon today." As the people talked and went out, Li Wan said: "Let them go to the garden to get everything ready early in the morning. We can just go there alone. It's just that the second girl is too hardworking. It’s good to have fun, but if you keep bored like this, you can’t eat with chess pieces. That’s not okay, let’s take a detour, arrest her in her room first, and then go to the garden together.” Everyone said: Saying yes, Tanchun smiled and said: "It's useless for us to talk about it again and again, and the elder sister-in-law has to come out to persuade the second sister." Sure enough, the group went to the Yingchun place first.

Yingchun devoted herself to the formation study, looked up and saw that the person had already left, Xiuju smiled and said: "The girls waited for the girl for half a day, the girls just lowered their heads and frowned to write and draw, they all went to the grandma's first." Yingchun got up and asked Siqi to change his clothes, and said: "If you see my sister-in-law, you will definitely sue me. Maybe my sister-in-law will come to arrest you. I can't escape today." , it's better to be honest."

Siqi took his clothes, and together with Xiuju, he waited for Yingchun to put them on again, and said with a smile: "Miss, I only see that grandma is still a little bit afraid, and I'm afraid she won't budge under a thunderbolt on weekdays. Take advantage of this moment." If it's neither cold nor hot, it's good to go for a walk in the garden to relieve the boredom. I've been staring at those words and pictures all day, and my eyes are burnt out." As soon as he was fully dressed, there was laughter from outside, and he heard Li Wan The voice said: "Where are you girls? I have issued an arrest and escape order. I can't hide anymore." Yingchun hurriedly got up and went out to meet them. When they saw them, they laughed and laughed, and then they went to the garden together.

When we arrived at the Fuzhong Garden, because the original east garden was separated and used as Jia She's mansion, now when people talk about the garden, they only refer to the original back garden.As soon as they arrived, they heard someone pointing east and west and directing the maids and daughters-in-law to carry things. When they looked closer, it was Baoyu.When Baoyu saw the crowd, he hurried up to salute, and said with a smile: "I heard that you are coming here to celebrate the spring, so I asked the boys to bring in the potted flowers you just got. Take a look, okay?"

He turned around as soon as he spoke, and everyone saw that there were several tall flower stands standing side by side behind him, with several pots of flowers placed here and there.Tanchun looked at it for a while, smiled and said to Daiyu: "Sister Lin, do you know these flowers? I can't name any of them, but the red one looks like a narcissus, but how can it have this color?" Where are the daffodils?"

Daiyu shook her head with a smile and said, "I don't know either, I don't know which corner I dug it from!" After hearing what she said, Baoyu smiled and said, "My sister guessed it. It's gold and silver. One is called marigold, one is called silver lotus, the red one is called carmine narcissus, and the lavender one has a common name called phlox."

Daiyu covered her mouth with a smile and said, "I thought you were so busy early in the morning to get some great flowers, but it was a few pots of grass." Baoyu laughed and said, "It's easy to get flowers these days, but it's hard to get this grass." It’s hard. I thought, since it’s the Spring Festival, if we make full use of the camellias like Jintang and Danchi, it will be lively but common. I happen to have a good friend who has a disciple who is good at growing flowers. These are the flowers in the wild in early spring They were raised. My sister said that these are grasses, and it’s not bad.”

After hearing this, Daiyu said, "It's rare to do this, and it's still a bit of fun." Baoyu was so happy that she scratched her ears and cheeks when she received a compliment from Daiyu, and said hurriedly, "If my sister likes it, I'll let them get some more. Let's live together." I also put some in the yard." Daiyu shook her head and said, "Now that the flowers are not blooming, these slender grasses look a little tender. In the future, peaches and plums will compete for spring, and cherry and apricot will be like clouds, who will see them." Tanchun also said from the side: "Sister Lin is right, but today it is suitable for the occasion. It is precisely this way that early spring is meant. If it is too prosperous, it will not be like this." Everyone said it was exactly the same. .

For a while, incense was burned to celebrate the spring, and colored silk ribbons were decorated with imitation leaves. Daiyu and the others bowed to each other, but Baoyu made a few bows while others were unaware. Naturally, she was laughed at.Then I sat down again, drank some warm wine and hot tea, and shared flower cakes.Seeing Dim Sum, Xichun cheered up, took a piece of rose flower in his hand, and asked Li Wan, "Sister-in-law, how did you make this!" Li Wan wondered, "How did you know to ask me?"

Xichun smiled and said: "Look at this pattern, there are some thin flower petals inside, and the smell also smells like nectar, it's not the greasy stuff fried with butter in the usual kitchen. It's so ingenious, it must be sister-in-law Only here." Li Wan laughed and said: "This is troublesome, now I am famous there. But let you guess, this is cake powder mixed with flower sauce and steamed, a trick It's the same flower sauce, and it has the scent you mentioned."

Daiyu nodded in praise and said: "This is worthy of the name, and the usual ones are just superficial." Tanchun said in amazement: "It takes a year to prepare all these tricks. It's so delicate." Yingchun ate Two yuan, and asked Li Wan: "Why does sister-in-law use different flowers for this flower sauce, even the sugar is different? I tasted the sweetness and it tasted different."

Li Wan glanced at her, and said in surprise: "Second sister is playing chess a lot now, and her skills have improved in every way, and she can eat this little sweetness! That's right, besides sugar, there is also sugar in this flower sauce." Added their own nectar, the rose sauce is rose honey, the rose sauce is rose honey, and the osmanthus flower sauce is sweet osmanthus honey."

Yingchun had a face of "as expected", Xichun hurriedly picked up two more yuan to taste carefully, after eating, Fang looked at Yingchun and said: "Second sister, teach me how to distinguish the difference? I only eat I can tell that the fragrance of the flowers is different, but the sweetness is different, but I can’t tell the difference. Good sister, please teach me.”

Tanchun laughed and said, "Silly girl, do you need to ask for it? You just play chess with the second sister. I didn't hear what my sister-in-law said. This is called one master and one hundred masters." After talking, he laughed with Daiyu.Baoyu pointed to the food box on the table and ordered Xiren to say, "You can send the flower cake and fruit wine to Sister Bao."

After hearing this, Daiyu sneered and said, "This is really borrowing flowers to present Buddha." Baoyu laughed and said, "Then my wife said that Sister Bao is learning things and can't come. Let us remember to send some past when we celebrate the vernal equinox and the spring breaks away." " Daiyu sneered and said, "Since my aunt has ordered you to do so, I naturally have something to prepare. How can I take these things outside? And that part is specially reserved for Yun'er. If you want to do this, she will come in the next afternoon." Now, you can break up with her yourself."

After hearing this, Baoyu said hurriedly, "Damn it, damn it! I'm so stupid!" He stopped Xiren and ordered someone to ask. Sure enough, there was a case for dividing guests in the kitchen, so Xiren delivered it again. Give that to Baochai.When he came back, he smiled at Daiyu and said, "Fortunately, my sister saw it. Otherwise, I would have made a big mistake!"

Daiyu laughed and said, "What's wrong with you? You're just thinking about your sister and forgetting about your sister." After saying that, she ignored him, and turned around to talk to Li Wan Yingchun about Cao Mu Tianhe, which was just right for Yingchun. The taste, the two talked back and forth, Baoyu was anxious but couldn't get in.

Sure enough, in the afternoon, Mother Jia sent someone to pick up Xiangyun. It was quite lively when everyone met. Baoyu hurriedly asked people to fetch the flower cake and fruit wine for the spring celebration in the morning.Seeing the fineness of the pastry and Baoyu's appearance, Xiangyun was happy. He quickly tasted a piece and drank a glass of fruit wine, naturally praising it again and again.Daiyu curled her lips and smiled when she saw this, she was lazy and talkative.

Baoyu looked at Daiyu from time to time, and naturally he didn't miss this look. Embarrassed, he said to Xiangyun, "I almost gave your mistake to Sister Bao in the morning. Fortunately, Sister Lin saw me and called to stop me, so she stopped." That's right." Xiangyun glanced at the two of them and asked, "Why doesn't Sister Bao have any?" Baoyu laughed and said, "Sister Bao is studying at home every day and has no time to play with us. My wife sent someone to prepare for it." I just don’t know if things are ready, and if I almost make a mistake, I’ll be sorry for my sister.”

Xiangyun said with a smile: "Second brother, why are you so mother-in-law and mother-in-law now? Is it possible that I can still blame you for a few pieces of cake? Besides, I am so good with Sister Bao, so I gave it to her. If I knew it, I would just You'll be happy." Baoyu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he glanced at Daiyu and said, "That's all right, you won't blame me, that's naturally good."

Daiyu was even angrier when she heard this, and she didn't bother to talk to her anymore, so she asked Zijuan to go back to her room to rest.When Baoyu saw her angry, he was anxious and wanted to follow. Xiangyun just arrived here, so there was no reason to leave her alone, so he had to sit aside, absent-minded, and sighed from time to time.

Xiangyun looked at it, frowned and said, "Second brother, what are you doing like this! You said sister Bao was busy at home, but what was she busy with? I haven't heard from her since I went home, why did you suddenly I'm so busy, I can't even come to Zhuchun? Could it be that someone said something sour and got angry with Sister Bao?"

Baoyu hurriedly said: "Sister Bao is going to be a candidate for the palace. I heard from my wife that I need to learn more things now." Then Xiangyun remembered that Baochai had mentioned it to her before, but he didn't expect to get the admission so soon. letter.I wanted to see her, but I didn't know if it was suitable.Talking to Jia Mu in the evening, Jia Mu said: "quickly rest your thoughts. She is very busy now. If she is free, she will naturally come to meet you. If you go rashly, she won't ignore you. Instead, It's disturbing others." Hearing this, Xiang Yun had no choice but to give up.

It turned out that Baochai was waiting to be selected for the post of talented person and praise in the palace, but he suddenly got the news at the beginning of the new year, but the date was set in July of that year because he wanted to avoid the emperor's birthday. .It is not difficult for her family to prepare clothes and jewelry, but it is necessary to invite someone to teach the rules in this palace.

Fortunately, Mother Jia came forward and invited two old nuns who were on duty in the palace from the county palace, and Aunt Xue asked Wang Ziteng to invite a female official who had left the palace to get married.These are not easy people to come by, and the nuns of the county palace can only teach for two months, which is already a big face.That female official married a principal, and she is also an imperial lady, so naturally she can't be regarded as a teacher, but she will come in three or five days to see how Baochai is learning, and let's talk about the trivial matters of the palace deacons.

As a result, Baochai was really detained in Lixiangyuan. Fortunately, she has a calm temperament and is not playful at all.The nuns and wives who were invited were just here to deal with favors at the beginning, but after a long time, they developed some appreciation for Baochai.

On this day, flowers are blooming to celebrate spring, and the sky is covered with thin clouds in the morning, and in the afternoon, there is a cool breeze and rain.During the break between learning the rules, Aunt Xue prepared tea and fruits in the small flower hall and chatted with the two nuns, while Baochai accompanied her.It was drizzling outside the window, and it was a bit chilly, and there were flowers and fruits sent by the mansion on the desk, Xiren came to visit in person, and said directly that "Second Master Bao sent them specially."

This time, the talented people in the palace and Zanshan are actually choosing escorts for the princesses and princesses, and they are all the daughters of famous officials.Even so, after all, no one from a family like Jia's family would be recommended for election, and they themselves would naturally not apply for election.Walking in the mansion on weekdays, getting along very well with Ying Tanxi and the others, her manner of dealing with people and things may be slightly better, but when she comes to her, the difference in status is so obvious.Because of this, they can invite teachers from the eldest princess's mansion to teach for a year or so. Here, they can only invite a nanny from the palace to stay for a month or two.

Another example is Xiangyun Daiyu, the former has two families in one family, and no one dares to let her enter the palace as an attendant even though her parents are dead. She has an important position in the class, and she is still an orphan, not to mention being an escort, even if she is picking a concubine, she dare not give her a low position.There is only myself. After Ziwei gave up, the royal merchant Xue's family is also considered a famous family, but it can be handled.

But things in the world are difficult to determine. Now the most favored concubine by the emperor's side is a female official who has raised three sons. In comparison, the empress dowager only occupies a position.In the current harem, there are also concubines who were originally accompanied by the eldest princess, but now they have turned over, and even the family has prospered.The reason for this is that the closer to the top people, the more people will take care of them. For example, Mrs. Cao, who is teaching her now, would not have achieved the current situation if she hadn't been a female official before.Everything is forewarned, it will be established, and if it is not forewarned, it will be abolished; after making a plan, it will be acted, but how should I make this plan now?Baochaixian sat aside, thinking about everything in her heart, her eyes couldn't help looking at the plate of flowers and fruits again.
