It took almost seven days to prepare the preserved peaches and dried apricots for Cao Xinyao. Finally, they were all finished. Two large boxes were filled. Dong Nuan also prepared some other items. Liuli was not easy to transport, so the long distance was not considered.
, but you can prepare other things.
In addition to dried peaches and apricots, there are also small cherries grown by the royal family in the orchard of Dongnuan. After the improvement of Dongnuan, they taste very good.
It's not impossible to dry this thing in the sun, but it's too troublesome to pack up. After all, there isn't much pulp.
Therefore, winter warmth is the sauce for cooking.
In addition to fruits, there are also a lot of spices mixed in, some of which can help you sleep, relieve fatigue, and calm your mind.
Various solid spices, rose water, and gel cream are also prepared, all of which have been improved for winter warmth and are particularly comfortable to apply.
Dong Nuan prepared a lot, loaded two carriages, and sent them to the Cao Mansion. It happened to be delivered along with other gifts from the Cao Mansion.
The peaches and apricots in the winter orchard have fallen rapidly in the past few days. In addition to keeping the ones for eating, giving as gifts, and drying, half of them are sent to the shop given to me by Cao Mansion, and the other half are sent to other shops of Cao Mansion.
The follow-up share will be sent by a steward from the Cao Mansion later, so Dong Nuan does not need to take care of it.
The fruits are coming down one after another in the orchard, but the focus of winter warmth is no longer there, but in the flower field.
The more than ten acres of flower fields produce a lot of flowers, and Dong Nuan will definitely be too busy by herself. Moreover, she is mainly engaged in technology now, so it is impossible for her to do these physical tasks.
Fortunately, the flower girls we hired are very skilled and careful in their work. With them around, the daily flowers are picked in a timely manner.
Dongnuan is already cultivating green bamboo and white bamboo to make condensation and fragrance.
Dianthus has been able to complete these tasks independently. Rose water is an exclusive technology. Dongnuan holds it in his hand and does not move it for the time being.
In fact, she had revealed something to Dianthus before, but things like perfume making, especially complex perfumes, actually depended on talent. Dianthus' talent was average, so Dongnuan didn't force it.
Nowadays, all the spices in Dongzhi's shop are made by Dianthus.
In mid-July, when the weather was hot, Dong Nuan received a letter from Hanjiang Tower, and it was another urgent letter.
The other party has already set off to Jiangzhou to recognize his relatives. The letter contains a lot of content, mainly explaining the general process to Dong Nuan.
Of course, he went there with the name that his master specially picked for him.
In order to avoid the Han family, Hanjiang Tower followed His Majesty's arrangement and changed his cousin's name to his name, and changed his original name to his cousin's name.
With His Majesty's arrangements, household registration and the like were no problem at all, and the whole process was arranged very quickly.
When he received Dong Nuan's reply in early July, he had already set off for Jiangzhou. Now that the letter has been sent to Dong Nuan, he has probably arrived.
After all, Hanjiang Tower travels lightly and travels quickly.
This is indeed the case. Hanjianglou did not bring much with him when he recognized his relatives this time.
But to recognize the bride, it was borrowed from the Han Mansion. Even if His Majesty made arrangements, Hanjianglou was still embarrassed, so Hanjianglou also brought some gifts.
Not much, but valuable enough. There are several boxes of spices mixed with dianthus, including the floral and fruity fragrance that girls like, and the sandalwood that the old man likes, which is a calming spice.
In addition to spices, there are also soaps and glass ornaments.
There weren't many things, so he could take them there in a carriage.
The academy is asking for leave for the time being, but Hanjianglou knows that His Majesty intends for him to go to the capital, and he will definitely arrange other academic issues, so he may go directly to the capital in the future, and at most go back to Liangzhou to say goodbye.
Jiangzhou is not particularly wealthy, but its economic conditions are pretty good.
It's not too far from Liangzhou, and the climate is pretty good.
However, in July and August, no matter how good the weather is, it is still extremely hot.
Hanjianglou and the people arranged by His Majesty traveled all the way and actually suffered a lot. Anyway, after Hanjianglou had been raising it for so long, he finally became a lot whiter, and now he's tanned a little bit more.
Lord Changning Houhan is already in his destined year. He went to the battlefield in his early years and left a lot of hidden wounds, so he retired early to retire.
Of course, there was also the tragedy of two sons getting lost and no news, and the other two sons dying in battle.
The other party knew about His Majesty's arrangements and had no objections. On the contrary, he was quite looking forward to it.
Anyone who can be recognized by His Majesty, Mr. Han is naturally willing to believe in his character.
Master Han's only remaining daughter is the wife of the prefect of Jiangzhou. After hearing the news, she made preparations early in the morning.
After Hanjianglou arrived in Jiangzhou, he was warmly received by Hanjiang's father and daughter.
Miss Han is eleven years older than Hanjianglou. She handles everything properly and thoughtfully. With her arranging it, Hanjianglou doesn't feel embarrassed at all.
The Han family father and daughter were shocked when they saw the spices, soaps and colored glaze brought by Hanjianglou.
Liangzhou Prefecture has become quite famous among other prefectures because of the soap incident.
Of course, Xiangshui County is also on the minds of various state governments because it is the origin of soap.
However, His Majesty is willing to help, and no one is willing to do anything about it. Mr. Gou estimates that he will be transferred to another place directly after waiting for two more years at most.
Of course, it's a promotion.
Once you have achieved political success, it will be easy to get promoted.
However, now that the dividends from the soap have just been reaped, being directly promoted at this time is actually not very friendly to Mr. Gou.
No matter what, we have to let people eat for two more years and then deploy them again, which will be relatively stable.
Liangzhou directly monopolized the soap formula, and other prefectures had no choice but to buy it.
The girl from the Han family has bought it before, but the mountains are high and the roads are far away. With the cost of transporting this thing here, it is far not as cheap as it was in Liangzhou.
It just so happens that this thing is quite easy to use, and there are also comparisons among noble ladies. It doesn't mean that you don't want to use it or don't like it, you don't have to use it.
Once other people started to compare with her, wouldn't it look very shameless if she, the prefect's wife, didn't have her?
Now Hanjianglou directly sent a whole box of five different scents for fifty yuan, which shocked Miss Han.
The gifts were delivered and His Majesty made arrangements. Everyone got along well, and soon the relationship between father, son, sister and brother became harmonious.
At the end of July, Dong Nuan was blowing ice and adjusting her own incense, thinking about the progress at Hanjiang Tower, and murmured in a low voice: "I don't know how the progress is. Can the Han family father and daughter get along well?"
?”
While he was muttering, a maid quickly walked to the door and shouted loudly: "County Lord, you are here."
Lu Zhu and Baizhu are now assistants, and they both study and help Dong Nuan, so these chores are handed over to other maids. They also know that Dong Nuan's work room is not easy to enter. If it is not particularly urgent, they will shout outside.
.
This is what Dong Nuan ordered.
