Farmer’s Little Girl

  Chapter 1527 Making rouge

  Although the words of Wei Zhi and Mr. Tang were very unpleasant and the emperor didn't like to listen to them, he still listened to them. He was really afraid that farmers would improve their fields into melon fields because of the great benefits of melons this year.

  So I specially summoned the county magistrates of Chang'an County and Wannian County, and asked them to do a good job of persuading farming and mulberry this year.

  It was also because of being so busy that the emperor didn't remember to settle accounts with Zhou Man at first, and when he took the time, he forgot about it.

But Man Bao didn’t know. She kept quietly hiding from the emperor. She didn’t even go to give the emperor acupuncture and moxibustion in person. .

Xiao Yuan was eager to learn a little more acupuncture skills from her, followed Man Bao to the side hall, found two internal servants with some bad stomachs, and got acupuncture twice. After confirming that there was no problem, he would not mind the emperor. The cold air went to give the emperor a needle.

Because some people went to suffer it for himself, even though Man Bao avoided the emperor, he still ran to the Daming Palace every day. Sometimes he had plenty of time. After seeing the princess, he went to play with Mingda Changyu and gave it to Princess Mingda. Condition the body.

At the beginning, when I saw Manbao’s pulse case, they gave Princess Mingda a needle. The maids of Mingda wanted to stop, but found that the princess had a better appetite after the needle, and she would sleep more peacefully at night. , He opened one eye and closed the other and let it go.

  Forget it, Zhou Man will never harm the princess anyway, and she rarely gets involved in the case when she injects needles on the queen.

  His Majesty’s harem is a bit different from others, not to mention the distance, even in the first emperor’s time, the harem was inevitably trapped and framed.

  There are very few today.

  When things happen to be jealous, they will never harm their children. The queen takes care of the harem very well.

  It is precisely because of the relaxed environment that Manbao can give Mingda a needle so easily.

  When she saw them applying rouge on their faces, Man Bao was still full of interest and said that she turned to some rouge prescriptions when she was reading a medical book in Chongwenguan, and they looked very good.

  Planning to play with Mingda Changyu.

The old mother who watched Mingda listened to these words and said secretly: If this was in the former dynasty or the first emperor, would you dare not let the princesses touch such medicinal materials and use such rouge, who knows what is hidden in this matter? What's the trouble?

  Now, they can play if they want.

So, the old mother watched Man Baoying squeezing the two princesses to the Hetai Hospital to get a lot of medicinal materials, and then went to the small kitchen for a circle and then disliked the smell of the kitchen. The three squatted together in the corridor and made a fire. System up.

  Man Bao didn’t understand them very well, and while holding a small scale to weigh the medicinal materials, he asked, “Where’s the smell in the kitchen? I went in and walked around, and it smelled pretty fragrant.”

  There is still broth hanging on the stove. I heard that it is to cook noodles at night.

  But this is for the princesses. Man Bao can’t eat it anymore. She has to set off from here to return to Chongwen Pavilion before dinner, otherwise the East Palace will be locked when the sun sets.

   Long hesitated: "The chicken was killed in the kitchen. Didn't you even smell the blood?"

  Man Bao thought for a while, shook his head, "Human blood seems to be bloodier than chicken."

  I couldn't answer this, and Changyu didn't answer it at all.

  Man Bao sorted out the medicinal materials, while Mingda and Chang Yu sat at a small table to pound the medicinal materials. Their close-fitting maids squatted in front of the stove to light the fire.

  They doubted the abilities of Zhou Man and the two princesses. They never heard anyone say that rouge is made of medicinal materials. Shouldn't rouge be made of flowers?

Mingda and Changyu can only sit and let people put on makeup. Now they are still young, they only put on Huatian, or painted yellow forehead, not even enough powder, but the maids did not lose their faces, rouge or something. I did not buy less.

  I bought a lot. I naturally know how this rouge is made. To put it bluntly, isn’t it made of red and blue flowers?

  A good rouge will add other flowers to make a better color and fragrance. How can it be made with medicinal materials?

Man Bao was very confident. He took Mingda and Chang Yu to pound medicinal materials and steam them. It took three days of work. Just when the queen couldn't help asking, Man Bao even let Chang Yu go from the Shangshi bureau. Bring a piece of mutton oil.

Don’t talk about the maids, even the old mothers looked dumbfounded, and then watched Man Bao take the mutton oil and mixed them with the light purple "rouge" they had made for three days. The original color was light "rouge". It's lighter.

After the reconciliation, the whole treasures were put on the ice basin to the side, staring from morning to afternoon, and then opened the jar, the inside solidified, the color was light, maybe because the uniformity was not very good, and some were light purple , And some are creamy white.

  Man Bao smelled it, and felt it was not bad, so he became proud and told Changyu and Mingda.

  The two of them had smelled it, and both nodded, "The incense is incense, but is this rouge?"

  Although they have never used rouge, they have also seen people use it, okay?

  Mingda hesitated and said, "Is this a salve?"

  Man Baodao: "Didn't you say that rouge is to make people have good colors? This can make people have good colors, which is naturally rouge."

  Man Bao showed them the prescription he copied, "No, it's all written on it, called Run Rouge."

  Changyu and Mingda no longer doubted, instead they looked at the rouge in the jar and asked, "Then it can be used?"

   "It's okay."

  Man Bao used her fingertips to pick some and rub it on the palm of her hand, then wiped it on her face, and finally wiped the back of her hand. She looked at the back of her hand and nodded and said, "It's really good."

  Man Bao immediately ran to open the medicine box, took out three small wooden jars, and Mingda Changyu said: "I want to dig some."

  They did a lot, a big can. Although Man Bao brought three wooden cans, they were not big, so the two nodded stingly and asked her to dig three small cans away.

  Man Bao happily went back to the East Palace carrying the medicine box. She walked on the front foot, and the emperor and the queen arrived. As soon as she entered the side hall of the daughters, the emperor looked around and asked, "Where is Zhou Man?"

  Changyu is still studying the moisturizing rouge with Mingda. Hearing the emperor’s voice, he immediately rushed out, "Father, mother, come here, we have made a good thing."

  The emperor said: "I'm here to see if you have burned the side hall. For three days in a row, I saw smoke coming from here."

  Mingda ran forward and hugged her mother's arm, and asked with a smile, "Then why are you here to ask now?"

  Of course it’s because there is no time.

  Recently, the upper reaches of the Yellow River have become icy, and the water has fallen a little too much. The governor of Shengzhou has made people rush to report that the Yellow River is in danger.

  The emperor ate too much cantaloupe. Wei Zhi was already calculating with the Ministry of Household the amount of food to be paid out this year, and it would be sent to Shengzhou soon.

  The Ministry of Engineering also went with it, so try not to let the Yellow River burst its banks.

  Today, the regulations were all set. It is rare for the emperor to get off work on time. It just so happened that there was no smoke from the side hall today, so he curiously asked the queen to come over and take a look.

  　 Not only is someone admonishing me, but also using a whip to admonish me
