Yang Yuhuan gently pressed the button on the perfume bottle. Suddenly, the smell of the entire bedroom became stronger. It was as if the room was filled with chrysanthemums, making people feel comfortable.
"This kid is quite good! He prepared such a good gift so quickly. Hey, this perfume can't be made from chrysanthemums, right? "
Li Longji took the perfume bottle and looked at it carefully, guessing.
Yang Yuhuan laughed and said, "If it's made from chrysanthemums, it won't have such a good smell. However, it's almost the same. It's indeed extracted from chrysanthemums. It's the essence of chrysanthemums. It requires a large basket of chrysanthemums to extract such a small bottle of perfume. It's very precious and rare. It's just that the bottle is a little too ugly. It would be better if the bottle was more exquisite. "
"The essence of chrysanthemums. A large basket of chrysanthemums to extract a small bottle of perfume. It's indeed a good thing! However, it shouldn't be just made from chrysanthemums! It can also be made from other flowers! "
Li Longji guessed.
Yang Yuhuan smiled and nodded, "That's natural. As long as it's a flower, no matter what kind of flower it is, we can extract perfume from it. Right, Li An will come again tomorrow morning to deliver a begonia flower perfume. There aren't many flowers in this autumn, only chrysanthemums and begonia. We'll have to wait until spring next year before we can make more types of perfume." Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Alright.
"Haha! That's great. As long as my beloved concubine likes it, I'm happy. "
Li Longji said happily.
"Saburo, there's one thing. Can you promise me?"
Yang Yuhuan was ready to persuade him. Her attitude became quite gentle.
"What is it? Just say it. As long as I can promise you, when have I ever mistreated you? "
Li Longji said.
"San Lang, the last time my three sisters wanted the battery workshop, I have already rejected them. However, I have to give them some compensation. The perfume this time is also a very good project. If you can teach our Yang Family to manage it, it will definitely bring a lot of income to my sisters. In this way, my sisters' lives will be better, and I will be at ease."
Yang Yuhuan cleverly used this opportunity to fight for benefits for her family.
"Hahaha! My beloved concubine has good taste! Such a good perfume, the ladies will definitely like it. It's definitely a better industry than the battery workshop! However, this was invented by Ang Lee. We have to ask for his opinion! "
Li Longji said.
Yang Yuhuan said happily, "Of course. He doesn't have any opinion... as long as Your Majesty agrees...."
"Well, as long as my beloved concubine is happy, the perfume industry will be handed over to your Yang family. I still have something to do tomorrow morning. If you have any questions, you can discuss with Ang Lee directly. The perfume industry will be handed over to you."
Li Longji said happily.
Yang Yuhuan was naturally very happy. Not only was her request satisfied, but when Ang Lee came tomorrow, Old Man Li wouldn't be around. Therefore, she didn't have to worry too much about what she wanted to talk about with Ang Lee. She could talk about whatever she wanted.
"Yes, Your Majesty. Hahaha!"
Yang Yuhuan replied happily. Then, she sprayed a lot of perfume on herself to make herself more fragrant and charming.
"My beloved concubine is so charming today. I can't miss it! Haha! "
Li Longji couldn't control himself because of the smell of the perfume. He hugged Yang Yuhuan and walked to the side of the bed.
The Emperor was enjoying himself, but Ang Lee was working hard at home to refine the begonia perfume. After dinner, Ang Lee took the begonia flower mud made by the maid into the laboratory and began the painstaking refining process. Although the process was very boring, as long as the essence in the flower mud could be extracted, it was an indescribable sense of achievement. It was a very pleasant feeling.
Different flowers had different ways of extracting the essence from them. After all, different flowers had many differences. If the same extraction method was used, the effect would be greatly reduced. As for how to extract the essence with the highest concentration, it would take some time to figure it out. Therefore, as time passed, the perfume made by Li An would become better and better, and more and more satisfying.
The petals of the begonia flower were smaller and more delicate than the chrysanthemum. As for how to extract the essence of the begonia flower, Ang Lee had to experiment well.
Among all the crabapple flowers, there were many that didn't have any fragrance at all. Although the rest of the crabapple flowers had fragrance, the fragrance was relatively light. It was a kind of faint fragrance that people wanted to capture, but sometimes they couldn't.
It was said that the things that couldn't be obtained were the best. The harder it was to smell the fragrance of the begonia flower, the more people yearned for it.
The reason why the begonia flower had a light smell was because the essence contained in a single begonia flower was too little. The concentration emitted into the air was too little. If the concentration was too little, it was more difficult for people to smell it. Only by increasing the concentration could people smell the fragrance of the flowers.
Therefore, Ang Lee had to find ways to increase the concentration of the begonia flower essence. Only by increasing the concentration could the fragrance be more obvious.
The smell of the begonia flower was more elegant, so it would give people the feeling that there was no perfume. It could also be understood as a body fragrance.
If a person secretly sprayed the begonia flower perfume and told others that he didn't spray it, others would believe it. They would think that it was the girl's body fragrance, which would greatly increase the charm of the woman.
If a woman sprayed a fragrance that was easy to be recognized, such as a strong flower fragrance, others would recognize it immediately. They would know that this person sprayed perfume instead of her own body fragrance.
Of course, if the concentration of the begonia flower fragrance was not enough, and the smell was too elegant, then people might not be able to smell it. As a result, the meaning of spraying perfume did not exist.
In fact, since ancient times, there were three regrets in the world. The first was that the crucian carp had bones. The second was that the begonia flower had no fragrance. The third was that the Red House was not finished. This was enough to show that most of the begonia flowers had no fragrance. However, there was a kind of begonia that grew near Chang 'an City that had a fragrance. It was a kind of vague fragrance that made people deliberately capture it and feel this vague fragrance.
Therefore, instead of saying that Ang Lee was refining the begonia flower perfume, it was better to say that Ang Lee was trying to create a substance that could replace a woman's body fragrance. It was a good thing that could make men fall head over heels for it.
Ang Lee explored little by little according to his own memory. He explored how to refine this unique begonia flower fragrance and tried to increase the concentration so that the begonia flower fragrance could be clearly smelled and experienced the wonderful feeling of body fragrance.
When he first refined it, Ang Lee got a lot of begonia flower perfume. However, the concentration was too low. When he sprayed it on his own body, he could still smell some fragrance at first, but after a while, he could not smell it at all. The effect was not very good. Therefore, Ang Lee had to continue to refine it. In the perfume that had been refined, he evaporated the excess water again to increase the concentration of the essence.
After many times of purification, Ang Lee finally obtained the essence concentration that could satisfy him. The begonia flower fragrance was no longer a regrettable fragrance, but a kind of intoxicating fragrance that could be obtained continuously.
However, because of the many times of purification, the begonia flower perfume obtained was too little. There were only two bottles in total, which made Ang Lee sigh. It seemed that it was unrealistic to promote the begonia flower perfume on a large scale. It could only be used as the most high-end variety and supplied to the richest people.
Holding two bottles of freshly refined begonia perfume, Ang Lee excitedly walked to the inner courtyard. At this time, the maids and female workers were still working. They were cleaning other wildflowers. Only when they were done cleaning could they stop and rest.
"Husband, it's done."
Yan Ruyu excitedly stepped forward and looked at the two bottles of perfume in Ang Lee's hand.
Ang Lee raised the perfume bottle high and said proudly, "I used up all the flower mud and only got these two bottles of perfume. The smell is still relatively light, but it can be smelled completely."
After that, he gave one of them to Yan Ruyu.
"Husband, give me a bottle too."
Man Man requested.
Ang Lee waved his hand and said, "There are only two bottles in total. This bottle is to be sent to the palace for the imperial concubine. One bottle is enough for you guys. Well, let them work faster. The earlier they finish, the earlier they can rest."
After that, he went straight to rest. He washed his feet and slept soundly. Tomorrow morning, he would have the energy to see the imperial concubine.
After soaking his feet in hot water, Ang Lee lay down comfortably. Today, he had already fought with Yang Yurou and used all his strength. Therefore, at this moment, he didn't have too many thoughts. He didn't need his wife to come over and serve him. He just wanted to have a good sleep. After waking up, he could go see the imperial concubine.
Because they were fascinated by the faint smell of the begonia perfume, Yan Ruyu and the other three people were all competing for the perfume. They sat together and talked with each other. No one cared about Ang Lee. After the maids finished their work and everyone left, they went to Ang Lee's bedroom and found that Ang Lee had fallen asleep. Therefore, they had to go back to their rooms alone.
Ang Lee had fallen asleep. The Emperor and the imperial concubine in the palace had also fallen asleep. However, at this time, there were still some people who hadn't fallen asleep. They were the Yang sisters. They gathered in Yang Yurou's mansion to discuss the future operation of the perfume workshop.
This was a big business that could make money. There were many things that needed to be considered. It was not something that could be done easily. They had to put in a lot of effort. Many specific details had to be discussed in advance so that they would not be flustered and mess things up.
"Eighth sister! You really got Assistant Minister Li. Will he listen to us in this matter in the future? "
Madam Qin asked.
In the matter of the perfume workshop, the most important person was Ang Lee. Because only Ang Lee mastered this technology and only Ang Lee could continuously introduce and improve new products. Others couldn't. Therefore, only by fully cooperating with Ang Lee could their perfume workshop plan be carried out smoothly.
"Of course. I will do it myself. Is there anything that I can't figure out?"
Yang Yurou smiled very proudly, looking charmingly at her two elder sisters, she sighed, "You don't know, that Assistant Minister Li, who usually looks very serious, actually has a lot of cunning plots, right? He is so awesome. He is much better than those pale-faced scholars I raised. After having sex with him, I still feel numb all over. "
After that, she raised her proud head proudly.
"Look, how coquettish she is. What a little fox."
Madam Qin laughed and scolded.
She did not like it in her heart. But after all, the coquettish fox in front of her was her sister. They were grasshoppers on the same rope. They had the same blood and common interests. Therefore, she would never really dislike her. Instead, she was slightly envious.
Madam Qin and her sister were the same kind of people. Naturally, she would not call her sister a fox. Instead, she asked with expectation, "Sister! Tell me, if Elder Sister went, would she be able to handle Li An? "
"Well? Only after trying can we know. How can we make a conclusion without trying? "
Yang Yurou said.
"Or, next time when you go to see him, you can take me with you. Let's …"
Madam Qin had already taken a fancy to Ang Lee's handsomeness, so she said with a smile.
"Third sister, you are in love! But you'd better not be abrupt. Next time, when we have sex, I will help you ask. If he really likes you, it won't be too late to go there. "
Yang Yurou said with experience.
"Hum, you just don't trust me. Don't think that you are beautiful and charming. I am not much worse than you. I am only seven or eight years older than you. Think about it. I was much more beautiful seven or eight years ago than you are now."
Madam Qin said with some displeasure.
Yang Yurou was not to be outdone. She said, "Third sister, you know that you are seven or eight years older than me! It is said that a real man does not boast about his past achievements. Even if you were beautiful, now you are old! What if Ang Lee doesn't like middle-aged women? Then we will screw things up. "
"Eighth sister, you said that I am old."
"Hey, I didn't say that. You admitted it yourself."
Yang Yurou raised her eyebrows and said arrogantly.
Seeing that the two were quarreling, Mrs. Han quickly mediated, "Okay, okay. Don't talk about it. We are sisters. Why are you so anxious?"
"Eldest sister, look at Eighth sister. She always bullies me."
Madam Qin had never taken advantage of Yang Yurou. When she was a child, she was so angry that she cried. When she grew up, she could not argue with Yang Yurou.
"Elder Sister, I don't really want to bully her. I just want her to see herself clearly. Li An has four beautiful maids at home. I heard that he didn't stay idle on the way to the South. He even charmed a princess of a country. The maids he brought back are also devastatingly beautiful. They are all in the prime of their youth. I've never heard that he likes middle-aged women. Therefore, we can't be rude. He's not an ordinary person. He's not someone we can offend casually, even if we have the support of the Imperial Concubine."
