Chapter 205 The Thoughts of the Old Ancestors
Pang Cry was lying in his ear and blowing the fragrant breeze: "I can stay alone with my brother for a short time again, have you noticed it, Princess Yiyi's eyes are hidden in the depths of a deep loss, the one who just glanced at us has a deep meaning!" ”
"How old are children to learn from adults to figure out the minds of others? Do you want to have another woman by your side? Li Zhi reprimanded angrily.
"Hehe, of course I don't want to, but some things are destined, and I can't hide from them, but like my two sisters, I just want to become the Li family smoothly, regardless of others!"
"That's right! In the future, as the business grows, my brother will be very busy, and he will have to go to various places in person, and he will not have the leisure to take care of other people's minds! What about the flowers brought back from the Ming Palace? ”
"Yesterday, my brother was not there, so I asked Uncle Wu and them to send them back in advance, does my brother want to build a garden for Cry as soon as possible?"
"Chang Yubo has already explained the matter of the relevant paper roof, and the head of the Sun family has also said that the original garden will be built soon, and it can be solved in one day."
In the Zhengqing Wenqi Mansion, there is a huge garden covering an area of one acre, which is between the inner courtyard and the outer courtyard, and the small garden where the inner courtyard is located is only planted with some rare varieties.
Back in the room, Pang Si very cherished each pot, the room is ready for floor heating, for fear of dryness, there are several pots of water next to a few pots of flowers, so that those flowers are still fresh and lush.
However, after Pang Cry arrived, Li Zhi actually saw that there were branches and leaves trembling slightly, and he couldn't help but laugh and said: "It's still the spiritual aura on Cry'er's body, they like it very much!" Try soaking in the water and see what happens. ”
Pang Qi took out the wood spirit bead according to the words, first plucked a few drops of water up, sensed the pleasure of the wood spirit bead, and then carefully put it into the water, the bottom of the basin suddenly flashed a faint green light, and the sunlight outside the window showed roses, amber and other color changes, and gradually turned into an oblique light, showing a group of clouds and mountains, sea water misty, and all kinds of light refracted into a colorful color.
"Quickly sit down and absorb it, and run the meridian strengthening technique in the body!" Li Zhi hurried her.
Pang Qi reacted quickly, and Li Zhi stayed on the side to pay close attention, but it was a pity that the illusion was only born in a moment, and disappeared in an instant, but he was shocked to hear that there was a faint sound of "pop" in the little girl's body one after another, which lasted more than a dozen times, and then there was no longer any life.
Li Zhi rushed towards Pang Qi in one step, probed out his true qi to detect, and couldn't help but exclaim: "Huo, you can break through the thirteen acupuncture points at one time, isn't it a wood spirit bead, how can it have a miraculous effect if it is stained with water?" ”
Pang Si opened his eyes and pouted and complained: "The method taught by my brother is not good, I only feel that my whole body is like a pinprick pain, although it is very short, but it makes my sister almost cry!" ”
Li Zhi hugged her forehead against it, "Silly girl, didn't you notice your true qi and stared at it a little?" Thirteen acupuncture points have been activated at once, and the cultivation is at a speed of improvement, and you are still so dissatisfied? ”
"Really? It turned out that Cry'er had a breakthrough in cultivation at this moment, and he only felt that countless rays of light had entered the body, and it was not at all as good as activating the meridian strengthening technique, and the stinging sensation was gone in a blink of an eye, but it scared Cry'er a lot! ”
"You try to put away the Wood Spirit Bead with your mind and see if it is happy."
The Wood Spirit Bead slammed back into her body, "Very obedient!" ”
"It seems that the Wood Spirit Bead also needs to be nourished by water, I don't know how many years it has been underground, and it obviously can't meet its needs by just sporadic rain sinking into such a deep soil. But what is the glow of light in that instant? ”
"It should be the energy condensation in nature, and the cry can feel their sharp inside, and if you inhale a little bit every day, won't you soon be able to surpass your brother's cultivation?"
"It's so easy! I guess that the next will be dozens or hundreds of tests, and it will be difficult to reproduce the wonders just now, maybe the wood spirit beads will be full at one time, and it will be a long time before there will be demand again! Cry, don't you have any feedback from it? ”
"No, it only knows how to spin in my sister's body, and its mind can only attract it, but it doesn't get the slightest reply, but it seems to like the breath in Qi'er's body, and it always transmits to me a warm sense of comfort!"
Li Zhi was puzzled, so he simply stopped thinking about it and wanted to put down Pang Qi, but the little girl raised her head in his arms and cast an expectant look.
He had to put his lips up and give her a gentle kiss, Pang Qi closed his eyes slightly, feeling the care from his relatives, but he was more moved than any cultivation.
Asked about the natural spices, which caused Pang to gush endlessly, "When I went back last night, Lord Junwang handed over many bottles and cans to Cry, and two small bottles of jasmine fragrance pure oil have been condensed. According to the process given by the elder brother, there is no need for distillation, such as directly taking the raw seeds, pressing the plant skin or fruit with real gas pressure, so that the oil flows out, and the spices obtained are of good quality but less; If the seed is heated and pressed, the oil obtained is of low quality and large quantity. ”
After that, she took out the two bottles and let Li Yiyi inspect them one by one, looking at him, the little girl looked very urgent.
"Is this kind of hot pressing, which is of lower quality but more yielding, made by steam distillation?"
"Yes, you see that the spices are good for one or two oils, and it takes more than a whole pound of raw materials to condense, while the same one or two oily and low-quality oils only consume a little more than three taels of raw materials."
"Doesn't it smell like a big difference?"
"There is actually a huge difference between the fragrance, harmony and unique natural fragrance, and a drop of good spice quality can be dissolved by ethanol to get three taels, and a similar amount can be dissolved in low oil quality, but obvious differences can be seen in color and fragrance, and it is more volatile!"
"That is to say, one catty of sixteen taels, the same one or two oils can dilute about four catties of finished products, have you calculated the cost?"
"Sister Qingqi has found someone to calculate it, the former cost about 300 copper coins per catty, but the latter only costs 100 yuan. Of course, it is calculated based on the market price of potted flowers, and if it is planted in large quantities in a flower garden, my sister said that the cost will be reduced tenfold! ”
"Haha, isn't it a book of great profits? Or is the cost of low-quality spices negligible? ”
"Sister Qingqi said that it can't be calculated like this, plus the labor, the construction of the flower garden, and the true qi consumed by crying, it is still very high to put into production in advance."
"Can my brother's true qi be used?"
"I'm afraid not! You can't tell the density of the oil, the slightest uneven strength, with volatile characteristics of the aromatic oily liquid, will be unstable in the state of solidification, not to mention the drip, and will evaporate instantly! ”
"It seems that only our family can do it, you are born with a physique, and sure enough, others are irreplaceable, just work hard for yourself!"
Pang Si was very proud of Li Zhi's praise, "I don't care, and with the Wood Spirit Bead to provide me with aura, the true qi consumes very little!" ”
"In your opinion, we can open a spice business?"
"For the time being, Sister Qingqi said that there should be at least a dozen kinds of colors and aromas, and at present, there are only two kinds of pure oil and essential oil, and the kind of cold setting process of extract has not yet begun to be developed. However, now you can customize bottles from the palace glass factory, and the prince has promised to come forward to contact this matter! ”
The evening meal was actually held in the main hall, and Sun Chengyi strongly advocated that after all, the emperor's marriage made his daughter's life happy and belonged.
Nearly 200 people from the whole of the Sun family participated, and more subordinates and hired workers also set up dozens of tables for them in the side hall, and there was a festive atmosphere up and down the eastern mountains.
Then there will be tomorrow's family banquet in the county king's mansion, and the grandson family also received an invitation, and this night Pang Ti's family was also picked up, and the huge cow was drunk with joy in his heart in a short time.
Pang Ti's mother has already recovered from her illness, and she has been smiling all the time when she looks at her transformed daughter in the middle of the night, and she has been wiped from tears in private by Li Zhiwang several times.
Her six-year-old brother's original name was not good, just like a huge cow at random, and now he has a formal name of Pang Song Pang Hanliang, the little guy was dressed as a rich young master at this time, but the mentality of the countryman has not changed.
Tomorrow night, a banquet is a bigger formation, according to Qingqi, several palaces have been notified, there is news that almost all the major families in Chang'an City have also looked for themselves, since yesterday afternoon, the momentum of the carriage and horses in front of the palace of Linhuai County has not subsided.
The wine was scattered, and the three ladies returned to the room hand in hand, all of whom had drunk the wine, and they became more and more coquettish.
The news of the family affair came out, and the grandson family had already done everything, and at this time they had already been placed by Chunrou, brocade quilts, brocade stools, tents, screens, and even gold drowning utensils were also brought.
Even when Li Zhi and Pang Ti left, the word Xi had been pasted on the window, and the quilt was also stuffed with dates, peanuts, longan, melon seeds, lotus hearts, etc., and there were four hanging screens of various colors of silk satin clipping and pasting bee butterfly flowers in the room, the pillar frame on the table, the boxes and jars of tin ware were piled up, and the sticks were incense sticks on the ground.
The pink and yellow curtain is surrounded by an ambiguous atmosphere of peach blossom flowing water in the room, and the complex and gorgeous clouds and silk, such as the water color rippling on the couch on half of the ground, from time to time there is a burst of rosewood fragrance.
Li Zhi smiled: "Whose idea is this?" Isn't it early? ”
Yu Ran smiled shyly: "It's the meaning of the old ancestor, saying that since the saint has given marriage, Chrysostom Yuyan is more important than the big wedding ceremony, anyway, sooner or later it is a formality, or the day of the emperor's wedding is counted as a positive day!" ”
Li Zhi didn't know that this was the old ancestor's vain tampering with the holy will, and it was clear that the holy decree marked the marriage on a good day, and the old man's move was obviously to hug his grandson earlier.
Most of the ancient emperors had seventy-two concubines in three palaces and six courtyards, but the emperor could only marry once in his life, which was the so-called big wedding. However, there are exceptions, if any queen is deposed, the emperor may have another chance to get married.
Therefore, no matter how many women Li Zhi has in the future, he can only experience a big wedding ceremony, so he attaches great importance to the sixth day of the first month of October.
However, he was not mentally ready, it didn't mean that Qingqi and Yuran didn't know about it earlier, from the blushing faces of the two, Li Zhi knew that the ancestor had already given them an explanation.
The only thing that made him happy was that no one had explained these things to Pang Si in advance, and he was only twelve years old after all, and his body was not yet fully developed, so others would always be a little unbearable.
But seeing everything in front of her, it doesn't mean that she doesn't cheer, the little girl is smart, and it is the first time to try the taste of men and women, although there has been no further development, the spring heart is unforgettable.
"Hahaha, are you going to enter the cave room tonight? The old ancestor is so good, he knows what happened between us and Brother Zhengwen a long time ago! Despite his young age, Pang Si never concealed his true emotions in front of Li Zhi, and he never appeared at all defense.
The bitterness is that Li Zhi has just had an in-depth exchange with Shangguan Wan'er, and there are still some psychological obstacles in his heart.
There was a hesitant look on his face, and Qing Qi mistook it for Pang Qi's age, so he said softly: "Text, you have to think so, although Cry'er is a little young, but she is not an ordinary person, and she has the true qi in her body that has been tempered by her body, and her physique has long surpassed me and Yu Ran." Since she's willing, you might as well give it a try. ”
