The bad emperor of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 305: Refining Essential Oils

For the strange woman Wang Yueyi mentioned by Guo Nuan, Abu became curious for a while, and couldn't stand Abu's soft and hard talk, Guo Nuan then drove Abu into the imperial city.

All the way from the suburbs to the palace, look good, this morning, Wang Yueyi is still reading and writing in the Hanlin Academy.

Guo Nuan sighed, this Ms. Wang is really hardworking, not for scientific research, not for showing off her knowledge in public, but purely for improving her inner self-cultivation and gaining the fun of learning.

When Wang Yueyi saw Guo Nuan and Abu's friend he had brought with him in the study of the Imperial Academy, Abu was also slightly taken aback when he saw Miss Wang. His face was covered with scars and red spots, which was really scary. When Wang Yueyi showed a friendly smile, something warm appeared in Abu’s heart for no reason. It made him more determined to invent the belief of scar ointment.

"Hehe, hello, Mr. Abu," Abu really enjoyed listening to this soft and bright voice like the sound of nature. He stretched out his right hand with a flushed face and a fever.

"Um, what kind of etiquette is this?" Wang Yueyi turned to Guo Nuan curiously and asked.

"Haha, this is called a handshake, which means friendship," Guo Nuan suddenly smiled. He didn't expect that when he met Abu for the first time, he would subconsciously use the handshake etiquette to be learned by him.

"En, hello," imitating Abu's somewhat shy gesture, Wang Yueyi stretched out her left palm, and lightly squeezed the fingers on the front half of Abu's broad and thick palm with her soft palm.

"Oh." Unexpectedly, Wang Yueyi made a mistake, and stretched out her left hand to hold Mr. Abu's right hand face to face. This gesture was quite ambiguous, and someone gossiped excitedly.

Guo Nuan looked at Wang Yueyi, who was not very good at shaking hands for the first time, and stretched out her left hand. It seemed that she was subconsciously used to stretching out her left hand, but I didn't expect that she was born left-handed, but I saw her use it after a few days of acquaintance. He was writing with a pen in his right hand, but he didn't notice this.

"Ahem, okay, okay," Abu blushed even more, and he quickly withdrew his hand like a child, but the silky touch of the woman's palm did not waver away in his mind for a long time. It was strange, Abu didn't Knowing what happened to me today, I would be at a loss when I met a woman.

The corner of Guo Nuan's mouth showed a knowing smile, and when he was standing next to him, Guo Nuan suddenly felt that Abu and Wang Yueyi were really a good match. The man was obsessed with the research of science and engineering chemistry, and he was purely an otaku. Although he had a godson, Abu, But after all, I'm almost 30 years old, and I don't have a partner yet.

As for Wang Yueyi, although the smallpox has ruined her appearance now, she is kind and virtuous at heart, and she is well-read in poetry and books, knowledgeable, and she is well-versed in both literature and theory. It is really a good combination to harmonize and match.

Guo Nuan pondered, touched her chin, it seems that it is time to find a wife for Abu, now that a chemical plant has opened, and after the establishment of a business, it is time to start a family. It is said that in ancient times, men did not get married after the age of 30. He is definitely an old bachelor. It is really not easy to find a partner. The young girl in the neighborhood has already married at the age of sixteen or seventeen. Abu wants an old cow to eat tender grass. This is a bit mysterious, quack

Guo Nuan's thoughts were distracted, and at some point Abu touched Guo Nuan, who was thinking petrified.

"Ahem, let's get down to business," Guo Nuan coughed dryly. The most important thing now is to heal Wang Yueyi's face. This is the most important thing. The daughter-in-law married by Abu is also the future sister-in-law. This can't be delayed. Unknowingly, Guo Nuan has already secretly matched the two parties without the consent of the two parties.

When they came to the Hanlin Academy and met Wang Yueyi, Guo Nuan went straight to the topic. He and Abu asked in detail about Wang Yueyi's smallpox scar.

Wang Yueyi was a little surprised. She didn't expect that Guo Nuan was reading medical skills in the Buddhist scriptures pavilion in the tower these days. It turned out that it was to heal her face. In addition to being moved, Wang Yueyi also acted a little open-minded. She was very open-minded to her father Wang Jin. The fact that countless famous doctors have treated the scars that have no effect has long been looked down upon.

But looking at Guo Nuan and Abu's full motivation and fighting spirit, Wang Yueyi couldn't extinguish their hope.

Let a dead horse be a living horse doctor, Wang Yueyi thought so, and she immediately told him everything Guo Nuan wanted to ask.

From Wang Yueyi's mouth, Guo Nuan learned that the exact time of the scar on her face was two and a half years ago. At that time, due to smallpox infection, many blisters formed on her face, and then her face festered, which was very scary. At that time, smallpox was rampant in the villages and counties, and the environment was harsh. Wang Yueyi could not get good treatment, and the delay resulted in deep and shallow scars.

Although Wang Yueyi's scars were serious, but because the fall time was not very long, not more than three years, and did not cause permanent scars, Guo Nuan felt that it could still be treated.

After hastily resigning from Wang Yueyi, Guo Nuan told her to wait for good news before leaving, and he would definitely develop a medicine to treat scars.

On the carriage back on the way, Guo Nuan asked Abu with a smile how he felt about Wang Yueyi. Abu scratched his head, and he hummed a little embarrassedly, acting like a little girl.

Quack, Guo Nuan's heart is happy, it seems that there is something going on, and the next step will be easy, as long as you find out Wang Yueyi's tone, and add fuel and vinegar to create a love environment for the two, it is estimated that this matter can be done.

Speaking of Abu’s godson, the little alchemy apprentice, little Abu, is studying in the Imperial College. He is already ten years old. He must have found a mother to take care of him as an orphan. The two men even have the same hair style, disheveled It looks like a bird's nest. From this point, it can be seen that Abu is a family of two. The life and cooking of the young and old are really bad.

Forgot to ask, Guo Nuan didn't know if Wang Yueyi had a marriage contract yet, he was a little annoyed that he forgot such an important matter, but it's okay to ask another day, probably not, otherwise he wouldn't be alone The study is quiet and the company of the scholar, and he has already taken the child when he is about the same age as Shengping.

After returning to the princess mansion, Guo Nuan and Abu plunged into the thatched house next to the back mountain garden. This is the laboratory where Guo Nuan used to make hot air balloons, and now it can be used again.

Next to the thatched house at the foot of the mountain is the Hundred Gardens. When Shengping is free with the children, she takes a few maids to take care of the flowers and plants, pruning and weeding in the garden. The days are clean and leisurely.

Guo Nuan just happened to take aim at the flowers and plants in Baiyuanzi. It is said that after consulting a lot of herbal materials in the tower study, and thanks to the prodigal wife who spent Guo Nuan's wads of painful RMB to buy a lot of cosmetics, it was cultivated. With an incomparably delicate face, and the accumulation of modern beauty knowledge instilled by his wife through precepts and deeds, Guo Nuan has found a way to treat scars.

First of all, the lavender, that is, the fragrant bath grass. It is said that in the Tang Dynasty, the Central Plains did not introduce and plant it. It is produced in the grasslands of Ili in the Western Regions. It is rumored that a businessman on the Silk Road in the Western Regions picked up a small bag of fragrant bath grass seeds on the Arabian coast by chance a few decades ago. The grass seeds reproduced.

Fortunately, the servants of Guo Nuanpai's mansion spent a lot of money to search for them from merchants in the Western Regions in Chang'an, and recalculated to find some seeds of fragrant bath grass.

But lavender, that is, lavender, only has flower seeds and no lavender petals, so it is difficult to extract essential oils, which is very worrying for Guo Nuan and Abu.

Fortunately, in the suburbs of Chang'an, Guo Nuan learned that there was such a flower growing in a landlord's manor. Overjoyed, Guo Nuan immediately planted it and took a large number of servants to visit the landlord's manor in the afternoon.

The landlord did not expect that when he bought a statue to decorate the manor at a barbarian store in Chang'an, he couldn't resist the salesman from the red-haired boss and bought a bag of fragrant bath grass seeds to plant in the manor.

Now it is almost the time of spring and summer exchange, and it is the time when the fragrant bath grass is in full bloom. When Guo Nuan came to the manor, he saw clusters of light blue and purple flowers growing on the flat grass. Fragrance, he laughed out loud. There is really nowhere to find it. It takes no effort to get it. The lavender petals on this large grassland should produce a thousand catties of petals. The raw materials for extracting lavender essential oil are sad.

After Guo Nuanyu, who was rich and powerful, poured a lot of money three times higher than the manor, the little landlord's eyes were full of silver light, and he willingly handed over the manor's title deed. Done more than half of the work.

Guo Nuan knew that many of the face creams, lotions, cosmetics and so on in the later generations added lavender essential oil. Essential oil has a good effect on scars. Of course, lavender essential oil has other effects. Seeing that a new round of revolutionary products is about to become popular in Datang, I'm afraid it will cause women to go crazy, quack.

"Oh, now we can let go of the horsepower development," Guo Nuan and Abu were delighted.

But only lavender essential oil is not enough. Guo Nuan asked the housekeeper in the house to buy several hundred catties of camellia oil, green onions, and barley powder ground with a stone mill, all of which were stored in the ice cellar.

There is an ice cellar in the Princess Mansion. It is said that there are only dozens of big families in Chang’an who have private ice cellars. The ice cellar is equivalent to a refrigerator. The ice in the ice cellar is excavated on the frozen river in winter, and hundreds of cubic meters are dug every winter. Large ice cubes of rice are transported to the cellar, as long as the cellar is kept warm and insulated, the ice can be kept for two or three seasons, so that a large number of vegetables can be refrigerated.

"My son-in-law, someone from outside the mansion sent an invitation, saying they are looking for you." At dusk, when Guo Nuan was excited about how to extract essential oil, he received a report from his servant.

"Um, who," Guo Nuan took the post and looked at it.

"Oh, so it's Prince Li Shi, but he invited him to go on a river cruise in the west of the city. It seems to be a party." Guo Nuan saw that it was for this.

Was scratching his head hesitating whether to go or not.

Seeing in the distance, Shengping's wife was holding Yiyi and calling her daddy Guo Xiang, the little girl was too busy, recalling that she was lying between Guo Nuan and Shengping on the bed last night, the little girl crawled over Crawling around to play, he didn't want to go to bed, and his father couldn't make out with his mother. Now he's pestering someone again, and Guo Nuan suddenly felt dizzy.

"Quack, come on, I'd better go out and take a stroll,"
