It takes time to grow flowers, but mint can be grown in just a few days. Tang Shi tried making mint first.
What you need to pay attention to when making essential oils is that things such as flower petals need to be dried in the shade. Drying in the sun will lose the oil content.
In fact, there are many ways to extract essential oils, such as soaking, freezing, etc. But because she had already made a distiller, she still used the distillation method.
Put the mint into the container and heat it from below to generate steam. The essential oil of the mint will be emitted along with the steam. After the water vapor containing the essential oil is collected and cooled by the distillation tube, the steam will cool into a liquid. According to the specific gravity and density of water and essential oil,
When separated by differences, the essential oil is obtained, and the remaining water is hydrosol.
Tang Shi worked in the "laboratory" for several days before finally getting out a few bottles of peppermint essential oil and hydrosol. It's a pity that there is no lavender in this era, otherwise it would be good to get a few bottles of sleep aid.
As a result, when he woke up after a nap, he found that a bottle of essential oil was missing. Tang Shi felt a little angry at that time.
She said solemnly: "Who took it?"
After a long while, Jia Shiyi calmly responded: "Me."
Tang Shi's face darkened.
In fact, she is not a stingy person, and she doesn't mind giving it to the prince or the emperor, but she gives it to herself. That is her wish. What does it mean if they take it? It seems like she has found something good and is hiding it herself.
It seemed like the person being monitored found out. Was he giving her eye drops?
Tang Shi sneered: "You know what I made and you just sent it out? If there is a problem, are you responsible for it or am I?"
Jia Shiyi was shocked at the time: "Is this thing poisonous?"
Tang Shi sneered: "You took this for yourself. No matter what happens or who dies, don't look for me. It's none of my business." She threw down the curtain and left.
Less than two hours later, Jia Shiyi came back with a bottle of essential oil, threw it on the table, and said angrily: "Why did you create something poisonous?"
The essential oil fell to the ground and broke into pieces, and the essential oil flowed all over the floor.
Tang Shi was almost pissed off by him: "Is there something wrong with you? I suggest you stand on your head for an hour to control the water in your head! Did I tell you to take it? Did I tell you who gave this thing to me? Tangtang protects me.
Long Wei, you stole something and raked it over! Where is your face?"
Jia Shiyi said angrily: "How dare you say something rude!"
Tang Shi laughed: "Taking it without suing is called stealing! Did you sue? Did you take it? Did I say something wrong?"
Jia Shiyi left in anger.
At this moment, someone came in from outside and handed over a post signed: "Yan Rui Liangchi."
Yan Liangchou?
Second Young Master Meng said to her: "Yan is the surname of the country, and everyone with the surname Yan is a relative of the emperor. Just be careful and respect him. But this Yan Liangchou is an exception."
He looked at her, and Tang Shi asked as he wished: "What exception?"
"Hehe," Meng Yiqiu said with a smile: "Because his surname is not actually Yan. He is the adopted son of my uncle Yan Chengyuan. It is said that his father saved Yan Chengyuan back then. Yan Chengyuan was a kind and righteous man and accepted him as his adopted son.
I even asked him to change his surname... But for some reason, he wasn't well received by my aunt. Anyway, my aunt didn't allow him to call me aunt, so he just called me uncle."
He lowered his voice: "My aunt has a very gentle temperament. She can make her clearly disown him in front of outsiders. I think there must be something going on, but it's a pity that I don't know what it is." He spread out.
Spread your hands.
Tang Shi nodded.
He added: "But you don't have to worry. I have met this person several times. He doesn't talk much and is not difficult to get along with."
Tang Shi said: "You talked for a long time, but you didn't say why he came suddenly."
"I don't know about this anymore," Meng Yiqiu said: "Is he here to express his gratitude? Because of Prince An's illness? But even if he wants to express his gratitude, he shouldn't be the one to come... I mean, this kind of person represents the Yan family
Generally speaking, no one will be asked to come over to do something about something."
He muttered to himself, then suddenly patted the armrest: "I remembered! He came to pay homage to his biological father! His biological father's surname was Liang, and he was buried here. He would come here every three or two years.
."
Got it, so he just dropped by.
Then she would just entertain them by the way. After asking Meng Yiqiu, they would definitely not eat at her house, so that would be easier.
So Tang Shi asked someone to reply to the post and set a time.
They are now living in Zhongyu Pavilion. This place is quite mysterious. I have always heard that there is someone behind it. Now it seems that it has something to do with them, so they live here instead of living elsewhere.
Early the next morning, Yan Liangchou came with a large number of guards, and also brought Yan Tingyue, who was dressed in rich clothes.
Tang Shi stood in front of the room door to greet him. He heard a young female voice from a distance, with disgust and impatience, and couldn't help but say: "It's so dirty, there's a lot of mud, and there are gold beads on my shoes..."
"What a country bumpkin, I don't know how to go out to greet you..."
When she saw Tang Shi standing in front of the door, she suddenly stopped and her expression suddenly changed.
Yan Liangchou also stayed there and remained silent.
Tang Shi's appearance is so similar to that of Meng Min! Especially when she is dressed in men's clothes, she is full of energy, has red lips and bright eyes, and her face is stunning. It is... simply breathtaking!
As for Meng Yiqiu, when he saw Yan Tingyue, his head suddenly got big. He regretted that he had recommended himself today. If he had known that this person was coming, he would have hidden as far away as possible!
Yan Tingyue's expression was very cold.
She came here today mainly to see Meng Yiqiu.
By the way, let's take a look at what kind of foxy lady this county prince is, so that he can seduce Meng Yiqiu and say, "I won't marry anyone who is not a minister." He stayed in Qinzhou for several months and even when the epidemic broke out, he didn't leave.
I didn’t expect it, I really didn’t expect it!
She has always been proud of her beauty, how could she be willing to accept someone who looks so similar to her?
Especially when she saw Meng Yiqiu standing next to her, looking like a married woman following her husband, she felt even more jealous and resentful. Her only thought was... to destroy her!
Only Tang Shi was very calm. Seeing that Yan Liangchou didn't come back to his senses for a long time, she coughed twice and then handed over her hands as a gift: "Mr. Yan is here. If you are not far away, please come in quickly and take a seat."
Yan Liangchou was suddenly startled.
He gasped a few times before barely suppressing it without losing his composure.
He entered the hall, exchanged a few words with her, and was about to sit down when he heard Yan Tingyue say: "Is this the courtesy of the county king to entertain guests?"
Her eyes were full of malice and she did not hide her intention to provoke.
Moreover, this kind of provocation is full of condescension, as if looking at the dirt staining her shoes, any more words are condescending.
If this was normal, Tang Shi would definitely tell her to go out and turn right immediately, but now she was under the eaves...
Tang Shi could only politely ask for advice: "I wonder if I am rude?"
According to the Dayan etiquette system, she is a fifth-grade county monarch, which is a title given to a married woman. The next higher level is a fourth-grade county monarch, a third-grade county lady, a second-grade lady, and a first-grade country lady.
The so-called relatives of the emperor, the emperor's own family, are granted titles based on the rank of the wife who has been granted the title. For example, if Yan Tingyue is the prince's daughter, she can be granted the title of princess, from the first rank, but she is the prince's granddaughter, even if she is granted the title, she will not be granted the title.
At most, one can be granted the title of Lord of the County, which is the fourth rank.
But her account is not blocked now.
Without a title, there is no rank, so to put it bluntly, she only has a national surname to express her status as a relative of the emperor.
Of course, relatives of the emperor were superior to others, and people carried people in sedan chairs. When everyone met, they bowed to each other and passed away. But if she really wanted to be more serious, Yan Tingyue had to salute her.
So, does she really not know what she can do, kneel down?
You know, even if Yan Tingyue is the princess or the princess, it is only a blessing ceremony when they meet!
