Siheyuan: I decide the fate of the world with my medical skills
Chapter 271 Tian Ji
The fragrance seemed to become more mellow... I know what the scent of the ocean is, but this is not that scent... Taking another deep breath, Fusu looked at the flickering candlelight behind Tian Ji through the faint light on her white and delicate neck.
Is it the candles burning? ...
His thoughts were pulled back to the time when he used spices in the past—before he traveled here, in the unintentional search results of a certain Taobao keyword... This is white,
Insect wax?
He usually used lamp paste (an ancient lighting device made of fat and beeswax), and completely forgot that there was a more affordable and simple option of traditional lighting - candles.
Han Rang left the Jiaolan Palace quietly. He closed the door carefully, creating a quiet boundary for the affairs inside and blocking the autumn wind outside the palace.
The other participants in the hall all tacitly kept a certain distance, leaving only a eunuch in charge of recording to stand by.
Han Rang waved his hand and called a young eunuch. This young eunuch was a Luoyue tribe member, smart, obedient and rule-abiding, and was one of the precious talents brought from Nanhai County by Ren Xiong.
The young eunuch bowed and said, "Greetings to the eunuch leader!"
Han Rang nodded in response and instructed in a low voice, "Please inform the food administrator to have the food prepared and delivered shortly."
Behind a table deep in the hall, a pair of slender and elegant toes danced irregularly in the air.
Like a lotus bud swaying in the wind in a pond, the movement was full of tremors and slight movements, until the trembling as if it were an electric shock suddenly stopped, and it stood straight up like a newly blossomed lotus stem...
After a while, Tian Ji raised her head from behind the table, glanced quietly at the almost empty hall, and breathed a sigh of relief.
She asked Fusu to turn around in a coquettish manner, and quickly tidied her clothes while he turned around.
Fusu could only shake his head. No matter whether it was Tian Ji or Zhao Ji, they did not show any resistance to his intimate actions or even taking off all their clothes.
But when I was putting on my clothes, I seemed to feel shy instinctively, and always had to wait for him to leave or turn away before I could continue.
It is true that women are like water... Fusu took a look at the wet area and a slight smile appeared at the corner of his lips.
Thinking that everything was almost ready, Fusu turned around, pulled Tian Ji, who was busy tying her hair, into his arms, and pointed at the swaying candlelight and asked:
"Did you bring that thing to me?"
Fortunately, only some sandalwood was added without any other scent, otherwise His Majesty might think I was that kind of woman... Tian Ji was stunned at first, then leaned lazily on Fusu's chest.
"Well...I made it myself."
Huh? This doesn't match her previous impression of a vase... Fusu raised her chin slightly and asked her with some doubt:
"Where did you learn this from? How did you get the materials you used? Please tell me in detail."
Tian Ji rested her head on Fusu's chest, remained silent for a long time, sighed softly and said:
"In the 26th year of the Emperor's reign, General Yongwu conquered Linzi. My brother surrendered to the enemy and was defeated and killed in Gongdi. I was 15 years old at the time and was forced to move to Xianyang..."
Gongxiong betrayed, and the two were defeated in the war? ... She is the niece of the former Qi King Tian Jian... Fusu wanted to look down at her face, but found that his vision was completely blocked.
She was called Tian Ji instead of Gui Ji because after the collapse of the ritual order at the end of the Warring States Period, the tradition of giving women surnames no longer existed.
"I learned the technique of liposuction from a eunuch on the road..."
Tian Ji raised her head slightly and smiled sweetly:
"I originally expected to become a palace maid and spend the rest of my life quietly in this deep palace, but I didn't expect to be treated well by your majesty and become your close servant..."
Haha, you are too optimistic. I still remember that I just clicked the screen twice and you two were automatically sent to the mansion. I smiled at her gently, lowered my head and left a light kiss on her forehead, then thought for a while and said hesitantly: "Do you miss the days in Qi State?"
Tian Ji was suddenly startled, and sat up from his arms, her voice trembling: "I have never thought of this, because my life has been integrated into your majesty, and your country is also my motherland!"
Alas, I shouldn’t ask such questions... Fusu sighed, gently put his arm around her and said a few words to comfort her, but found that she was still tense, so he decided to tell a little joke to lighten the atmosphere.
"You said you were one with me. That's wrong."
Tian Ji looked at him in surprise, the shock in her eyes was clearly visible.
He smiled gently and continued, "To be precise, the moment you threw me down just now, the two of us truly became one..."
Hearing this, her face turned red with embarrassment, and she buried her head in his chest.
"Oh... it hurts! Forget about biting me, don't gnaw me so hard... loosen up! You're so brave if you don't stop!"
After a while, Fusu took out a handkerchief to wipe the scar on his chin that was soaked with saliva, and gently hooked her cheek, "Humph, look at how many lips and teeth you have damaged, little rascal!"
Tian Ji pinched her nose proudly, then lowered her head and woofed like a puppy.
It's fun to imitate kittens and puppies, but there are some serious things to do before that.
Then, Fusu continued to ask: "What are the raw materials for making candles?"
Tian Ji pressed her cheek against his broad chest, stroking the deep and shallow marks on his chest with her fingers, and replied: "My second brother asked me to entrust someone else to deliver a pure white wax block. In addition, there are some other things..." At this moment, she seemed to have thought of the previous conversation with Tian Yun, and for a moment she was embarrassed to continue the topic.
Is there any Thai massage oil? If so, please give me some more strength! Fusu smiled secretly and asked, "Are you willing to teach me the craft of candle making?"
She raised her head and looked at him with a smile on her face, "Of course I am willing to offer this skill to you." Bright tears flowed in her peach blossom eyes.
Fusu smiled, gently kissed the top of her head, opened his arms and invited her to come over, "Come and help Your Majesty change clothes." He said softly, looking at her expectantly.
A moment later, on a long table in the corner of Chaohui Pavilion, two bowls were filled with hot jujube millet porridge, some pickled vegetables, pig's trotters stewed into a soft and glutinous soybean soup, fresh deer tongue fried into slices, and a large piece of golden roasted lamb, which looked very tempting.
Although there was no one watching here, it still seemed more solemn, so Fusu very "gentlemanly" pulled out a chair and waited for her to sit down at the table before he sat down steadily opposite her.
Their figures sitting opposite each other in the morning light exuded an atmosphere of happiness and sweetness.
When he originally planned, furniture such as tables and chairs should have been popularized quickly. However, no one expected that most children of this era were still in the "open-crotch" clothing stage.
This means that when people kneel or sit cross-legged, they can avoid a lot of embarrassment by covering their body with clothes. But before chairs became popular, this embarrassment existed at any time.
Therefore, as long as pants have not been widely promoted, it seems more practical for everyone to continue kneeling!
However, the canopy beds produced by Shaofu Workshop are priced high (starting from 10,000 coins), but they are so popular that they are almost in short supply. Not only because they are made of precious wood from Nanshan, but more importantly, they have a canopy and columns, and the hanging curtains create a warm and private atmosphere like a hut. There are fences around the canopy bed, so even if you sleep lightly at night, you will not accidentally roll down, giving you a sense of security.
But Su had never personally experienced this exquisite bed. He designed and built his own bed in the inner palace. After all, sometimes, there were more than just two people sleeping on it. "Your Majesty, open your mouth..." Tian Ji, who was sitting opposite him, picked up a piece of venison tongue and handed it to him, saying, "Well, this extraordinary woman is indeed rich in heart... But you give her venison, is it implying something? Haha..." Su tasted the venison tongue in his hand, and an aggressive smile appeared on his face.
On October 18, the morning was bright and clear, which was the breakfast time for the Qin people. After repeatedly performing the ballad of conquest and taking full care of the people's well-being, the people responsible for collecting food were waiting outside the palace.
Several palace servants took the dining table away, and the Imperial Clothing Attendant led several palace maids into the palace to help Su, who was tired from the night before, change into a brand new palace costume. When he stretched out his arms, the palace maids skillfully put on the traditional black and red two-color ceremonial robe for him: a cross collar and wide sleeves; but for his feet, they prepared specially customized left and right shoes, with holes punched in every detail for lacing.
The outerwear and the crown on the head followed a solemn etiquette system and could not be easily changed. Therefore, Su focused more on internal adjustments, such as improving private items, trousers, shoes and boots, and improving the heating system and portable toilets in the Lanchi Palace.
"Your Majesty, these are all original wax products that I specially made."
Tian Ji walked out from the inner room, wearing a bright red dress, adorned with unique gold hairpins. The lines of her pretty face were delicate and graceful, and there seemed to be a hint of tenderness in her eyes.
"Let's take a look together." Su held her hand and walked into the garden.
"I understand!" After a hearty meal of love, Han Rang opened the box. "Most of the ones I've seen are wax, and they all look yellow. Madam's wax is different, it's pure white, as beautiful as snowflakes!"
Fusu laughed and walked forward to pick up the white powder in the box. It had a smooth texture and should be the secretion of the white wax insect.
He turned to look at Tian Ji and asked, "Do you need any additional treatment methods?"
Tian Ji smiled slyly, shook her head and said, "Just put them in the cauldron and heat them. Then, put the wax into the bamboo tube with the wick. After it cools down, take out the bamboo tube."
Fusu was surprised and asked: "Is it that simple?"
He remembered that documents at that time recorded that people began to widely use insect wax after the first millennium AD.
And now, it is 210 BC, the first year of the reign of Qin II.
However, according to the literature, white wax is indeed a unique product of China, not a foreign product. Therefore, in the long years before that, people had not yet explored and utilized the uses of white wax.
