Chapter 9 Daily Life

On this day, Muyun and Qingkong had free time, and they both walked out of Country Garden with their hands. Today, they were wearing newly made pink embroidered wide-sleeved fairy skirts. The Muyun skirt was embroidered with falling petals and butterflies in various postures. On the Qingkong skirt, a cute cat was embroidered with two buns and a ringing jade bell on their heads. When they walked, they were jingling, which attracted the envy of the maids and mothers outside the courtyard.

The two of them walked through the exquisite and gorgeous chasing veranda and came to the Manchu Garden. There was a pool of lotus flowers blooming in full bloom in various shapes. There were occasionally a few bees and butterflies flying among the flowers. When the summer breeze blew, the fragrance of lotus flowers suddenly came to their faces.

Mu Yun took a deep breath and couldn't help but whisper: "It smells so good!"

Qingkong nodded repeatedly after hearing this: "Yes, every summer, the lotus flowers in this pond in the mansion are fragrant and beautiful."

"Sister, let's go to the pavilion over there to sit!" Mu Yun pointed to the pavilion beside the lotus pond.

Qingkong nodded and pulled Muyun over.

The two of them came to the pavilion. It was mid-July, and it was the hottest time. Even the pavilion could not block too much heat. Fortunately, the water vapor slightly reduced the heat when approaching the pond.

"It's so hot!" Qingkong took out his handkerchief and wiped the sweat beads that popped out of his forehead and complained.

Mu Yun was also wiping his sweat aside, not responding to the words, and he didn't care about Qingkong's complaints.

"If my sister is hot, I'll go back later." Mu Yun said sitting on the stone bench in the pavilion.

"Well" Qingkong thought for a while and said, "Why should we pick a few lotus flowers for our wife to go back?"

"Okay!" Mu Yun agreed with a smile.

The two asked the mother who was cleaning the garden to help pick a few lotus flowers that were in bud, and a few lotus leaves returned to Country Garden.

Back in the yard, Mu Yun found a stone pot, put the lotus flowers in it, and prepared to put it into Xu's house.

The two of them moved the flower to the house and talked to Bai Wei, then left.

Muyun took the remaining lotus leaves from the flower arrangement and came to the kitchen, planning to make lotus leaf chicken for Xu and have an extra meal tonight.

After carefully reminding the cook in the kitchen, he returned to the dormitory. At this time, his clothes were soaked in sweat. Mu Yun found someone to help her carry a bucket of hot water to wash, change her clothes, and suddenly became much more refreshing.

Qingkong went to the warehouse and Manying to learn how to manage the accounting. Muyun did nothing and studied the small-scale still made of porcelain that she had finally asked someone to customize.

The still was placed in the two rooms that were cleaned up on the left of their dormitory two days ago. They were originally used as warehouses for her and Qingkong, but Mu Yun put all the things she had obtained yesterday that she had cleared her wife's warehouse last time in Qingkong's warehouse. This room was used by her to put the still. Although it was reduced, it still took up a lot of space.

Mu Yun poured a large pile of flowers collected in the past few days into the steamer. There was no way, and the conditions were all for this. She could not go out and could not find a large piece of roses or other flowers.

I remember that when she customized the distiller, Bai Wei and Man Ying had a good talk! If Miss Eight had not moved out, it would not be so easy to pass. Xu also knew that he would only let Mu Yun do it.

For Xu, Mu Yun is his confidant, so it is okay to act a little willful. As a grand wife of the Duke's Mansion, can't her maid be more at will?

Xu was favored at home since she was a child, and did not develop a domineering character. On the contrary, she was fair and very tolerant to the people around her. So, when Mu Yun did this, Xu did not blame her too much.

After stuffing all the flowers into the steamer, Muyun spent some money to find a little maid to help her burn the fire.

As for whether you can get essential oils, only God knows! Mu Yun asked the little maid to watch the time, so there was no need to burn it when the time came.

It was so hot that the little girl was burning fire. Muyun couldn't get over it. She was an old aunt who was almost thirty and asked her to help her. In modern times, she was just a child laborer. She would inevitably give her more money when giving her maids. The little maid kept asking Muyun to call her next time.

Seeing that it was dusk, Muyun came to the kitchen. The chef brought out something wrapped in mud. Muyun found a stick to knock the soil open, revealing the lotus leaves wrapped inside. The fragrance of chicken was mixed with the fragrance of lotus leaves. In this hot weather, people immediately had some appetite.

Mu Yun took off the lotus leaves, found a green-glazed porcelain plate, tore the chicken, made some appetizing sweet and sour sauces, and personally brought the dishes to the table.

It was hot today and Xu didn't have a big appetite. He brought the lotus leaf chicken. Xu tasted it and wrapped it in the sauce. He couldn't help but eat a few more bites.

Bai Wei and Mu Yun were also happy to see Xu having used more food.

After eating, Xu rinsed his mouth and said kindly to Mu Yun: "Good child, I can't think of making food for me."

When Mu Yun heard this, he pouted and said, "What are the words of Madam? Isn't it right for me to do these things? You are not saying this to the death..."

"Okay... I won't say it. I'm happy to know that you have me in your heart." Xu picked up a piece of watermelon on the table and handed it to Mu Yun: "Eat a piece of watermelon, look at your little mouth pouting so much that you can hang an oil bottle!"

"Madam!" Mu Yun looked angry.

"Hehe" Seeing Mu Yun like that, Bai Wei and Xu both laughed.

Xu smiled for a while and asked, "Did everything be divided yesterday?"

Bai Wei replied: "Go back to Madam, we've all been divided!"

"That's good, just like it. It's better to put it in the warehouse and get a grey." Xu did not take those things seriously. The fabric and porcelain she replaced every year went to sea. Instead of giving it to those irrelevant, it would be better to give it to her maid!

"Hehe, I also snatched a silver red and a sky-blue soft smoke Luo!" Mu Yun spoke with a proud look on his face.

When Bai Wei heard this, she pointed at her and scolded, "You are so embarrassed to say it! There is no one you pounced on directly, it's so embarrassing!"

Mu Yun stopped doing it when he heard this: "Sister, I'm wronged. I really tripped and fell down!"

Xu smiled and watched them quarrel.

In the end, the verbal battle ended with Bai Wei's "hum" lightly.

In fact, Bai Wei and Mu Yun didn't really want to have a quarrel. They just wanted to make Xu happy and deliberately make noise. Xu naturally understood their intentions and felt relieved.

Muyun is still young and doesn’t have to stay at night. After Xu packed up, he returned to the dormitory. Before going back, he took a look at how the dew that was distilled today was precipitated.

After several hours of precipitation, a layer of yellow essential oil was floating on the glass bottle. It was too late, and Muyun was about to separate the oil and water tomorrow. In this way, the essential oil was available!

There is already glass in this world, but it is very expensive. Like a glass bottle with Muyun's dew, it is a cylindrical shape, with a length of about twenty centimeters and a diameter of about twelve centimeters, Muyun costs a full twenty taels of silver. Muyun roughly understands the prices of this world. Ordinary people can have a prosperous year with ten taels of silver!

So glass is a completely luxury, including the mercury mirror in her room.

This world history turned into Daliang in the Tang Dynasty, but the tyranny of the second emperor of the Daliang Dynasty had the current Dayuan Dynasty. The royal family surnamed Yuan in the Dayuan Dynasty was homophonic with Yuan.
