Luo Wushuang stopped and smiled naughtyly, "Report to the Empress Dowager, I don't count on this. It's better to invite the skilled craftsmen in the palace and ask them to look at the drawings."
Mu Junyan felt very interesting when he heard this. Before his mother could speak, he ordered his servants to send Luo Tongjian, the Shaofu Superintendent.
The Queen Mother glanced at him and continued to ask Luo Wushuang, what incense are you going to use?
Luo Wushuang was also very confused about this issue. With the previous lessons, she no longer dared to use Qixiang, for fear of attracting the Queen Mother's attention and curiosity again; but she was also afraid that she would be questioned too perfunctorily. After thinking about it over and over again, she only used a fair and slightly characteristic pair of fragrant fragrance.
Luo Wushuang replied slowly: "The Hetian jade of the male owner is warm, and the folk girl is paired with a clear plum blossom balm, which can be smelled from afar as if it is tender and cold. The female owner is paired with Ping'an Xiang Pills, and the main fragrance is Atractylodes and Agastache, plus perilla, benzoin and dragon brain. The fragrance penetrates the bones and fragrance can evaporate foulness. With the master's frown and smile, it can emit a scent of fragrance. The sachets of men and women who follow are all silk purse styles, which can be matched with summer seasonal flowers, and are made of lotus, lotus leaves, sandalwood, roses, lilac, angelica, etc. to make seasonal fragrance."
"It's wonderful!" Mu Junyan was very happy after hearing this: "I want one." He subconsciously glanced at the empress dowager. Seeing that the empress dowager was also turning to look at him, he rubbed his hands with a little embarrassedly and said, "Mother, you still understand the fragrance better, what do you think?"
The Empress Dowager asked some more details, and Luo Wushuang's answer satisfies her. She smiled and said, "Impossible. As long as the Shaofu Supervisor can do it, it must be a face for our Da'an Kingdom."
While speaking, Luo Tongjian had already rushed to the palace and after saluting, he got the drawing.
The Empress Dowager only briefly explained the situation, but without Luo Wushuang's explanation, Luo Tongjian understood. After reading for a moment, he raised his head and said with surprise: "Empress Dowager, the emperor, the lower official is ashamed. I don't know that there is such a clever design in the world, using jade and silver sachets as sachets, which is rare. But I just looked at the drawings. This sachet is not only durable, noble and elegant, but also can be easily changed into scents, which is very practical! I wonder where this exquisite idea comes from?"
The Empress Dowager and the Emperor smiled at each other, and the Empress Dowager pointed at Luo Wushuang and said, "Everyone is the one standing next to you."
Luo Tongjian looked at Luo Wushuang incredibly and was stunned for a moment. Luo Wushuang hurriedly said modestly: "I dare not, Luo Tongjian is worthy of being the supervisor of the Young Mansion. I... painted so roughly, you can still understand at a glance that this is a real master!"
Luo Tongjian was praised so comfortably and said repeatedly: "The younger generation is terrifying, and the younger generation is terrifying!"
The Empress Dowager then asked: "Luo Tongjian, I wonder how long it takes to make 10 sets of such sachets?"
Luo Tongshuo thought for a moment and said, "According to the current manpower, it will be about half a month."
"Send additional personnel to complete within ten days." The empress dowager's order was unquestionable, and Luo Tongjian immediately took the order to handle it.
"Miss Luo, you have been living in Tingyuxuan these days. You have to supervise the production of the Pak Xiang yourself. You can discuss with Sun Shanggong, the Shang Xiang Fang in the palace." The empress dowager smiled and ordered, and Luo Wushuang had to obey the order.
The next morning, Sun Shanggong came to Tingyuxuan early and wanted to discuss the details of the incense making with Luo Wushuang. Luo Wushuang had eaten half of the breakfast, and thought that he was really troublesome and could not hide, so he quickly threw away his chopsticks and came out to greet him.
Sun Shanggong was a thin middle-aged woman who was sitting in the living room with a straight face. When he saw Luo Wushuang coming out, he stood up and showed a smile and said, "As the order of the Empress Dowager, the old woman came to ask Miss Luo for advice."
Luo Wushuang hurried over and salute: "Where is this Lord Shanggong? I'm going to kill the people. I'm just a little trick. Those prescriptions were finally decided by the Empress Dowager. I'll just say that we'll do it according to the order."
Luo Wushuang knew that the Empress Dowager would put herself in an awkward position. Now it seems that Sun Shanggong has clearly had an objection.
Sun Shanggong was really unhappy. She had been serving in the palace for many years, and the sachets of her master's servant came from her and her Shangxiang Palace. Why did a little girl who was still young and stinky suddenly come out to compete for her job?
But after hearing Luo Wushuang's words politely and the empress dowager's urgent order, she couldn't make any more embarrassed, so she calmed down and said, "Miss is right, let's start as soon as possible."
The two discussed the details. Luo Wushuang basically listened to Sun Shanggong, and only occasionally said a few words at key points, trying not to show his strength. Although Sun Shanggong was quite dissatisfied, he gradually found that this little girl was extremely capable of making incense, and she felt even more uncomfortable.
Although each has his own thoughts, fortunately, the goals are consistent, and the details are determined in the morning, so I started to do it.
Luo Wushuang didn't want to take credit at all, so she wanted to hand over the specific matters to Shangxiangfang. However, Sun Shang Palace was like a sage, afraid that something would go wrong, so she must pull Luo Wushuang to participate, saying that it was the explanation of the empress dowager and should not be violated.
Luo Wushuang thought about it and felt that he was idle, so he took over the job of picking summer flowers. This job seemed to have no technical content, and he didn't have to get involved in Shangxiangfang's affairs. He just had to pick the materials and send them. It was free and not annoying, so he could be considered an explanation to the Queen Mother and Sun Shanggong.
Picking raw materials is the first process of making incense. Without further ado, Luo Wushuang got up before dawn the next day. In fact, the seasonal fragrance of those followers is not limited to the use of flowers, and the fragrance is pleasant. However, the time for picking flowers is quite particular. When the sun is not out in the morning, flowers with dew must be collected, because the fragrance of flowers is the most fragrant at this time and the fragrance is also more mellow.
He asked Tingyuxuan's little girl and old nanny to bring a flower basket and a shovel, and then went to the Imperial Garden.
There are already many flowers in the garden, and no one dares to pick them. The little girls didn't come out for a long time to let them go, and they were very excited. In addition, Luo Wushuang always mentioned how to pick and store them. They were even more enthusiastic. After only more than an hour of busy work, everyone gained a lot.
Seeing that the east was white and there was already red clouds everywhere, Luo Wushuang asked everyone to finish work and prepare to go to Shangxiangfang to pay the job.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he left the garden, he saw the imperial guard coming towards him. Luo Wushuang couldn't avoid it, so he had to kneel on the side of the road and wait for the emperor to pass by before leaving.
Mu Junyan sat on the turtle and was about to have breakfast when he saw Luo Wushuang coming out of the garden. When he approached, he suddenly felt the fragrance of flowers. He felt refreshed. He saw Luo Wushuang kneeling on the side of the road, his hair was slightly fluttering in the wind, and his green gauze dress was fresh and lovely. He couldn't help but stop the sedan chairman and smiled at Luo Wushuang, "What are Miss Luo doing here early in the morning?"
Luo Wushuang lowered his head and replied: "Report to the emperor, the civilian girl is here to make incense after being ordered. She is here to pick summer flowers and is about to send them to Shangxiang Room."
Mu Junyan smiled and nodded: "Thank you for your hard work in Miss Luo."
Luo Wushuang was slightly uneasy and said, "Thank you, the emperor, to be kind!" and stopped talking.
