Princess Fortune

Chapter 67

After Xu Tang said this, Ye Qingshi laughed even more, and there was a smile and joke on Qingjun's face: "Is this a certificate of honor?"

Xu Tang's expression remained unchanged, without any fear: "Yes."

Facing Xu Tang's immature solemnity, Ye Qing subconsciously refrained from joking and joking, "Then I'll wait."

It is not without reason that Xu Tang set a five-day agreement.

Set off for the state capital the day after tomorrow, and go directly to the governor's mansion.

At that time, but she didn't go with Ye Qingshi and the others, but went alone.

Go as Miao Jin.

This was the first time Xu Tang used his abilities like this, and he was actually somewhat nervous, so he couldn't help but think about and plan this matter repeatedly in his heart.

When Xu Tang came out of Ye Qingshi's room, he saw Cuiping.

Cuiping has lost a lot of weight now, probably because when he was punished, he felt uncomfortable and didn't think about eating.

When Cuiping saw Xu Tang, his expression was complicated.

Xu Tang went up to meet her, and said, "Cuiping."

Cuiping showed a gentle smile: "Xu Tang, I haven't seen you for a few days."

Cuiping's smile is still that Cuiping.

Xu Tang didn't bother to talk nonsense, so he said directly: "Young master is protecting my mind, you can see it clearly, in the future, don't embarrass me anymore. I also understand your mind, don't worry, I won't argue with you about these things .I will leave the government in the future."

After saying this, Xu Tang walked past her and left.

Cuiping stared blankly at Xu Tang's back, feeling uncomfortable.

It took a long time to realize one thing: Xu Tang understands his own thoughts?How is this possible?How did she know?
Cuiping went back to serve anxiously, but when she saw Ye Qing, she suppressed her emotions in an instant.

He only served Ye Qing carefully and meticulously.

Ye Qingshi suddenly said: "Go to the state capital the day after tomorrow, you go with me, and then let's go to the capital. See if we can go back to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival."

Cuiping was taken aback: "Why is it so sudden? Besides, there are still guests—"

Ye Qingshi said concisely: "It's okay, you just go and prepare."

"Then do you want to write a letter to tell Madam and Master—" Cuiping was worried that going back so suddenly would cause Madam's displeasure.

Madam didn't say anything, but she never liked Ye Qingshi in her heart.

Ye Qingshi's answer was even shorter: "No need."

In the afternoon, Xu Tang called Xu Mei over and started making rouge.

In fact, rouge is the best.

First boil lard.

But not the kind used for cooking.

It needs to remove the taste, it needs to be white and delicate, without any oily smell.

In fact, the best is beeswax, but unfortunately, beeswax is hard to find and too expensive.

Again, sheep oil can also be used, but this is also expensive.

The cheapest is lard.

There is also a method for boiling lard, and it cannot be boiled directly.

It must be boiled in water.

Slowly boil the fat and dry the water.

Only in this way will it be white and delicate, without burnt smell.

The small stove boiled lard, and Xu Tang washed the sweet-scented osmanthus carefully, washed them dry, and dried them in the shade.Finally put it into a jar, and add half a jar of castor oil.

This oil cannot be eaten, but it is excellent for hair oil.

This jar is osmanthus oil.

But it has to be left quietly for three to five days, and then the sweet-scented osmanthus is removed, leaving only the oil, which is the real sweet-scented osmanthus oil.

But this was too long, so Xu Tang picked another large bunch of gardenias and made a small pot of gardenia oil.

The scent of gardenia is more intense and obvious, soaking it for half a day will have an effect.

After the lard was boiled, Xu Tang took a small silver pot again, scooped a spoonful of lard into it, put it in a pot of boiling water, and then added the beetroot juice into it drop by drop.

Stir continuously with chopsticks.

The originally colorless lard turned red now.It is a light red at first, and becomes a deeper color as the dripping juice increases.

It's so gorgeous that it's a little surprising.

Seeing that the colors were similar, Xu Tang withdrew his hand.

Then he took the silver pot out of the hot water and added a few drops of gardenia oil to it.

While Xu Tang was doing it, he explained it to Xu Mei in detail.

"If you want to be more particular, you need to add some medicinal materials or spice powder. The effects are different, such as smoothing the skin, or whitening and removing freckles. Different colors."

"This color can also be prepared by yourself, using different juices. You can also use flowers, but that is too complicated to make, so this is easy to use."

Xu Mei listened very carefully, and doubts arose in her heart: Why did Xu Tang know so much?
"To do this, the material is one of them, but the most important thing is to stir. If it is not stirred evenly, it will be completely cold when it cools down. The water will be water, and the oil will be oil. It can't be used. It needs to be stirred continuously until it solidifies. It's hot, it's not easy to solidify now, you can soak it in a cold water basin, it will be faster."

Xu Tang passed this to Xu Mei and asked her to try it herself.Start doing other things yourself.

The one just now was oil rouge.

What to do now is powder rouge.

Powder rouge is also easy to make, just use rice flour to wash the water continuously, and then put the rice washing water, the fine layer of rice ash that settles down is the material for making powder.

This is the most labor-intensive method.But the powder is also the most delicate.

Xu Tang didn't have that skill, so he just ground rice noodles.

But using a water mill.

During the grinding process, water is constantly added, and at least five times of grinding, the powder obtained is fine enough.

After clearing the water, dry the powder.

When the rice noodles are half dry, you can add beetroot juice, adjust to your favorite color, put them in a box and compact them.

When you use it, just dip your finger in the powder and apply makeup.

This is not as obvious as the color of oil.

The white powder used for covering the noodles is to use it directly after the rice flour is dry.If it is extravagant, you can add some fine powder scraped from the inner side of the clam shell. The powder prepared in this way has a little pearly luster, and when it is exposed to light, it will make your face radiant.

But Xu Tang was not so extravagant, he just used rice noodles.

Rice noodles are used in this way, but the makeup is not suitable enough. You need to use a little cream, first apply the cream, and then apply powder.

Xu Tang spent the whole afternoon in this way, but made a few things.

One is oil rouge, one is dry rouge, one is sweet-scented osmanthus head oil, and the other is face cream with gardenia fragrance.

Then there is ordinary gouache.

These are the simplest methods.

Ordinary people don't either.

After Xu Tang did a few things, he was already too tired to stand up straight.

Xu Mei was also very tired.

Xu Tang also kept two boxes, and Xu Mei took the rest.

Then, she sent one of them to Luran.

Lvran was shocked: "How did you make such a beautiful color!"

She couldn't wait to pick up the hairpin to pick up some of the solidified oil rouge, dab it on her lips to try the color, and she was full of praise immediately: "It's so beautiful!"

　In fact, the ancients were very particular. A Yin has been researching these materials for a long time.However, there is no way to verify too much detail, just take a look~
