Comprehensive film and television: The Queen of Rolls Opens the Roll Again

Gong Yuanzheng watched silently, looking at the servants who were kneeling and kowtowed not far away, and then looking at Su Rong whose eyes were slightly red because of being moved, and seemed to be thinking about something.

Su Rong and the others did not enter the side hall. Gong Yuanzheng let Zhang Xueming go in first, and he stayed outside the door to give Su Rong a few instructions before following her in.

"Have you thought about it?" Zhang Xueming asked him. She heard Gong Yuanzheng say that he wanted to buy winter clothes for the guards, and he also took over her share of the money, and asked Su Rong to tell others that the money was from Zhang Xueming.

"Yeah." Gong Yuanzheng didn't mention the money, but only the guards. "Although the guards of Zheng Palace have only been respectful to me in appearance over the years, they have done what they are supposed to do. I don't ask them to be very capable, just guard Zheng Palace for me."

Zhang Xueming smiled and said nothing.

She has never met the chief guard of Zheng Palace.

In addition to the two shifts of four guards guarding the gate, the two shifts of six guards patrolling at night, and the two shifts of six secret guards hiding in the trees, she had not seen the other guards.

Zhang Xueming would have to wait for him to see what the situation of the palace guards was.

The side hall pharmacy actually consists of three rooms.

The room where Gong Yuanzheng cultivated the Yunzhong Lotus, rare poisonous flowers and plants, and hid things was at the innermost part, only separated from his bedroom by a small room.

In the middle room, there are two large medicine buckets that are as high as an entire wall. One contains rare medical books, notes, various finished medicines and poisons left by successive masters of the Zheng Palace, and the other contains Gong Yuanzheng's experimental notes, drug testing experience, and various finished medicines and poisons he has developed over the years.

For safety reasons, these two rooms are equipped with countless traps and poisons, so he would not easily bring anyone in.

The outermost room, close to the utility room, is where Gong Yuanzheng usually conducts experiments and prepares various medicines.

This was the room he took Zhang Xueming to.

Only then did Zhang Xueming discover that this "U"-shaped side hall actually had two more rows of rooms built in addition to the top row of rooms. The wooden walls were very thick, making them both hidden and soundproof.

When he opened the door, a smell of medicine and grease rushed out, and Gong Yuanzheng quickly opened the window to dissipate the smell.

"The facial cream uses oil, so it has a strong smell." He said with an embarrassed smile.

Zhang Xueming stood at the door and waited for the smell to subside before stepping in. He saw that there was a large window facing an empty courtyard on the opposite side of the door. There were six large rectangular tables placed side by side in the room, with a large shelf on each side.

Various dry medicinal materials in winnowing baskets were placed on the shelves on both sides, and five tables were filled with various utensils and instruments, giving it a rigorous atmosphere of a modern laboratory.

But there was also a table with wine jars, long-handled ceramic pots, casseroles, bowls, basins, porcelain spoons, wooden spoons, and chopsticks on it. There were two ordinary plaster stoves on the ground, and a small casserole with two handles hanging from a simple tripod... It looked more like a kitchen.

Zhang Xueming knew at a glance that they were all used to make lip balm and facial balm, especially since there were several white porcelain bowls on the table that contained leftover yellow vegetable oil, solidified white wax, and yellow wax...

Her eyes lit up.

Whether in modern times or ancient times, gorgeous clothes, beautiful accessories and cosmetics are always her favorites.

"Zhao Zhao, come and see." Gong Yuanzheng opened a large black wooden box on the table. Thin wooden pieces inside divided the box into nine compartments. Each compartment was neatly filled with nine small round white porcelain boxes.

Zhang Xueming walked over quickly, and before he even started to look, he couldn't suppress a smile on his face.

Gong Yuanzheng picked up a small porcelain box from one of the boxes and handed it to Zhang Xueming: "This is made by soaking cloves and dried comfrey root in sesame oil, heating and cooling it eighteen times, filtering out the residue, and mixing the oil with melted beeswax, and solidifying it. The fragrance is light, the color is also light, and there is no color-enhancing medicine. It is best used for lip protection at night when sleeping."

Zhang Xueming opened it and saw that there was a light red paste inside the porcelain box. He applied a little with his fingertips and twisted it open. It was indeed moisturizing and light in color, so he was not afraid of it getting on the quilt.

She nodded with satisfaction: "Ayuan is right, I will try it later."

Gong Yuanzheng's eyes lit up, he stole a glance at her, pursed his lips, but immediately restrained his expression and took a small porcelain box from another compartment and handed it to her: "This one has color-fixing drugs added. The recipe used is the lip balm recipe that Jia Sixie of the Northern Wei Dynasty once recorded in "Qimin Yaoshu". First make fragrant wine with two spices, cloves and patchouli. Pick the best ones and wrap them in clean cotton. Then wrap them with plain silk and put them in the wine that has been heated to a slightly hot temperature in advance. Let the hot wine absorb the flavor of the spices in the cotton."

He raised his neck proudly and said, "According to the book, in such cold weather, the fragrant wine needs to be soaked for three days. I was afraid that you would be impatient, Zhao Zhao, so I used my inner strength to heat and cool it several times. It only took more than an hour for it to be soaked. Then take out the spice silk bag, put the butter and ox marrow into the fragrant wine, boil it over high heat, add butter every time it boils, and after it boils nine times, simmer it over low heat. At this time, slowly add the ground cinnabar and tea oil, stir evenly, and the red fat that cools and solidifies is delicate and bright, with a rich aroma."

Zhang Xueming quickly put down the box in his hand and took the box in his hand to look at it.

The cream is a bright red. When you apply a little on your fingertips and spread it out, you will find that it is not the bright red that brides wear when they are chosen as brides, but a slightly lighter red, the so-called sandalwood color, or light crimson. It can make people look very good when applied.

Nowadays, lip balm and rouge are actually interchangeable. There is this kind. After applying makeup powder, pick some and spread it on the palm of your hand, then apply it thinly on your cheeks. It can also prevent chapped cheeks.

"After dinner, I'm going to put this on before I go out." Zhang Xueming asked him, "How long will it last? Have you made the makeup remover?"

"It will take at least sixteen hours to fix the color, and you can just use tea oil to remove the makeup. Although it's a bit oily, it's moisturizing." Gong Yuanzheng answered quickly, saying that he had thought it through and there would definitely be no problem.

But he still dutifully reminded: "Zhao Zhao, this lip balm doesn't contain a lot of cinnabar, but it is poisonous after all, so try to use it as little as possible. When I find a better dyeing material, I will make you a better one, a non-toxic one."

Zhang Xueming looked at him with bright eyes and smiled brightly: "Ayuan, you are so nice~"

It was as if the roles had been reversed a few days ago, and Gong Yuanzheng finally understood why Zhang Xueming was happy to prepare a gift for him.

Just for this smile and this "You're so nice", as long as there are enough materials, he can work day and night to make a hundred kinds of lip balms for her!

Gong Yuanzheng smiled shyly and opened another large black wooden box. The wood board inside only separated two compartments, and the porcelain boxes placed in the compartments were also larger than the ones used for lip balm.
