"Then what are these flower petals and those women for? Could it be beneficial to the country and the people?"
Zhu Jingchen said as he pointed at the flower petals and the enchanting women.
"Third Princess, these flower petals are for me to make perfume.”
"These courtesans are the fragrance tasters I specially invited over.”
Fang Yunfei explained with a smile.
"Perfume?"
"Fragrance Master?"
Zhu Jingchen frowned, obviously not accepting Fang Yunfei's explanation.
The ancients loved incense for a long time.
However, both incense and sachets were made from flowers, spices, and herbs that were dried and ground to strengthen them.
He had never heard of it being made into water.
As for the Fragrance Tasting Master, he had never heard of it before.
Is Mr. Fang lying to me?
"Princess, move. I'll show you the process of making perfume.”
Fang Yunfei said as he walked to the porcelain plate covered in pork fat.
Zhu Jingchen had intended to be reserved, but he couldn't help but follow Fang Yunfei to the oil covered with flower petals.
Zhu Xiongying was a playful child, so he followed his aunt over.
"Princess, please take a look. This is the raw material for making perfume.”
Fang Yunfei brushed away the flower petals on the porcelain plate, revealing the grease underneath.
A thin layer of black-red essence floated on the originally white and greasy pork fat.
Fang Yunfei carefully scraped the essence from the pig oil and placed it into a small porcelain bottle, then handed it to Zhu Jingchen.
"So smelly! It stinks!"
"Sir is lying! What kind of perfume was this? This is clearly stinky water!"
Zhu Xiong Ying was very curious, so he took a step forward and sniffed the porcelain bottle. Immediately, he choked, tears flowed down his face, and he vomited.
Zhu Biao and Zhu Jingchen, who were standing at the side, also frowned. They obviously found it hard to believe.
How could such a stinky thing be made into perfume?
Only Zhu Di and Zhu Xi were standing in the distance with snickers on their faces, as if they had already known that they would make a fool of themselves.
"Prince, as the saying goes, when things reach an extreme, they will reverse."
"This essential oil will become smelly because it smells extremely fragrant. It needed to be diluted to restore its original fragrance.”
Fang Yunfei said as he poured the essential oil from the porcelain bottle into the alcohol jar. Then, he picked up a bamboo stick and slowly stirred it.
Not long after the essential oil was poured into the alcohol, a faint rose fragrance came from the jar.
As Fang Yunfei stirred, the fragrance of the roses became stronger and stronger.
Zhu Jingchen felt like he was in a sea of roses.
"This is perfume?"
Zhu Jingchen's eyes sparkled as he looked at the jar with passion.
"That's right. I made a lot of them and they're all there.”
Following Fang Yunfei's finger, everyone found seven or eight blue and white porcelain jars placed in the shade at the foot of the wall.
There was a note on the jar, with the words " Rose "," Azalea "," Numinous Sky ", and " Embroidered Ball " written on it.
They were all fresh flowers in their blooming season in Jinling.
"Then what do they do?"
Zhu Jingchen pointed at the courtesans and said.
Although she already believed that what Fang Yun Fei said was most likely true, as a woman, she still held a grudge against these flirtatious women.
"You don't know about this."
"Perfume made from a type of flower is the most primitive perfume. Because it only had one kind of fragrance, it was easy to get sick of it after smelling it for a long time.”
"A good perfume should be complex and varied, with an endless aftertaste. This required the use of different types of perfumes.”
"However, it is very difficult for ordinary people to determine which perfume has more and which perfume has less. It requires an extremely sensitive fragrance master to mix it.”
"In all of Jinling, only these girls are suitable for smelling incense.”
"I spent a lot of effort to invite them!”
Fang Yunfei patiently explained to Zhu Jingchen.
In ancient times, in order to please the dignitaries, the courtesans had always been extremely strict with their clothes, speech, and behavior.
It could be said that these courtesans were the fashionistas of the Ming Dynasty, leading the fashion trend of the entire Ming Dynasty.
As long as they approved of something, it would not take long for it to become popular in Jinling and even Ming Dynasty.
Because of this, Fang Yunfei spent a lot of money to invite them to the Tenth Prince's Mansion to concoct perfume.
Reality proved that the effect was excellent.
The sensitivity of these girls to fragrance was exactly the same as that of the fragrance masters in the future.
It could be said that he was talented.
"Is that so? Do you have any perfume? Can I give it a try?"
After hearing Fang Yunfei's explanation, Zhu Jingchen finally relaxed and asked Fang Yunfei carefully.
She was afraid that her attitude just now had offended him.
"It just so happens that I've specially made a perfume for the princess.”
Hearing Princess's words, Fang Yunfei's flirting passive skill was automatically activated. As he spoke, he took out a bottle of exquisite perfume from his pocket.
"This was specially made for me?"
Hearing that Fang Yunfei had specially made this bottle of perfume for him, Zhu Jingchen immediately blushed and carefully took the bottle to sniff it.
Immediately, a fresh and elegant smell wafted out.
Zhu Jingchen felt his entire body go soft, as if he was floating on clouds!
Seeing her like this, Fang Yunfei decided to strike while the iron was hot.""Princess, I used pomegranate, azalea, trumpet creeper and little summer peach for this bottle of perfume. Its name is Magpie Bridge Cloud."
"Magpie Bridge Cloud! Cloud of Magpie Bridge!"
Zhu Jing repeated the name of the perfume several times in his heart. Suddenly, he thought of the poem " Fairy of Magpie Bridge " written by Qin Guan, a poet of the Northern Song Dynasty.
"A fine cloud makes a coincidence, a flying star spreads hatred, and a silver river passes through the darkness.?”
"When the golden wind and jade dew meet, they will surpass countless people in the world.”?
"Gentle as water, the wedding day is like a dream, I endure the magpie bridge and return home.”
"If the love between the two is long, how can it be day and night?”
"Mr. Fang, are you pouring your heart out to me?”
The more Zhu Jingchen thought about it, the more intoxicated he became.
She thought for a moment and took off a sachet from her body. She lowered her head and handed it over."I have no way to repay Mr. Fang's generous gift. I have worn this sachet since I was young and have never left it. I'll give it to Mr. Fang as a gift.”
"Thank you, Princess."
Fang Yunfei, who had transmigrated, did not think too much about it. He took the sachet and stuffed it into his arms.
Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, and Zhu Xi were dumbfounded.
He made a private engagement in front of us?
Aren't you guys looking down on us?
Is our Old Zhu family's cabbage so easy to get?
