Liaozhai: I just want salted fish with invincible magical powers

Chapter 318 Soap
When Shen Yuzhen learned that Li Yu was going to leave, she repeatedly persuaded her to stay, but Li Yu made up her mind, and after looking around in the palace, she said goodbye and left, not even taking the gold and silver gifts from Shen Yuzhen.

Although the few people were sentimental, the return of Rong Ning'er and the children still made everyone extremely happy.

Especially Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Yang rushed over almost immediately, and they reluctantly left after waiting until the time of day.

With children, living together again seems a bit crowded.

Hu Qian said to Shen Yuzhen: "Let Zhiying come over tomorrow, and you each choose a palace and settle down."

All the girls nodded.

Hu Qian said to Shen Yuzhen again: "East and West Twelve Palaces, you can choose whichever you want first, and let them choose the rest in order."

Shen Yuzhen responded, and said in a low voice: "The princess of Zhennan sacrificed her life to help her, my husband must not treat her badly..."

Hu Qian understood that she had seen through, but he just didn't say anything.

"Don't worry, I know."

At this time, I heard Rong Ning'er say: "There is really no way, I dare not go out of the yard during the day, and I have to take care of five children at night. I don't have enough milk, and I even have a luxury to take a bath. Isn't it thin?"

Hu Qian turned his head and saw that she was talking to Axiu and the others.

I saw that she had lost a lot of weight before, so I couldn't help but feel a little distressed at this time.

"Come on!"

Immediately, a court lady bowed and walked in.

"Order the imperial dining room to prepare some food."

"Yes!"

Hu Qian walked up to Rong Ning'er, "Are you hungry? If you are hungry, let's eat together. If you are not hungry, then go to rest. It's getting late."

The women knew that Hu Qian wanted to talk to Rong Ning'er alone, so they all saluted and went inside to rest.

Rong Ning'er said: "Sanggong...no...you have to be called the emperor now."

"When there is no one, just call me Mr. Xianggong. Don't say you are awkward, I am also very awkward."

"What are you eating now? I ate a lot in the car when I came here, and I'm not very hungry at this time."

Hu Qian took her hand and sat down at the table, "My husband wants to talk to you."

"Master..."

Her voice suddenly softened, "I just said that just now, you don't have to worry about it."

"Anyway, this time it really made you suffer..."

After the food and drink were served, the two ate some casually. Rong Ning'er originally planned to drink, but thought that she would have to breastfeed her child, so she forcibly suppressed the idea.

Hu Qian said, "Come on, sit down."

Rong Ning'er missed her so much, she had to restrain herself because there were others there before, but at this time, except for the maid beside her, there were only two people there.Even so, she still couldn't let go.

If Yingcai is here, then it's nothing, but in front of a stranger, it's really...

Hu Qian waved his hand and said, "Go down."

The maid serving behind her immediately retreated.

Only then did Rong Ning'er move onto Hu Qian's lap, wrapping his hands around his neck, her black hair stuck to his chest.

"Msanggong, I really miss you."

Hu Qian said: "Why doesn't Mr. Xiang miss you?"

Said, slowly hug her tightly.

"When I first arrived at Zhennan Prince's Mansion, my concubine washed her face with tears every day. If she didn't think about a few children, she could hardly survive..."

Hu Qian said: "Don't be sad, the matter has passed, isn't it good now?"

"But, I am so scared, afraid that my husband will leave us..."

Hu Qian said: "No, Mr. Xiang will never worry you again."

After being tender for a while, both of them were unwilling to let go.

Feeling the heat from Hu Qian's body, Rong Ning'er whispered: "My husband is too bad, he even thought of using this method to find my concubine..."

Hu Qian smiled and said, "Didn't you tell me that?"

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand into his bosom.

She quickly pressed it down, "Don't, my sister will wake up."

Seeing that the sky was getting brighter outside, he nodded, and was about to get up when she grabbed his hand again, "I will move to a new place as soon as possible today, my husband..."

Hu Qian suddenly lowered his head and kissed her lips, and after a while, when he wanted to separate, she hugged her tightly and lingered for a long time before finally separating.

"I'm going to see you tonight.

By the way, if you and Ningshuang are so close, telepathy is inevitable, why don't you just live together so as not to feel uncomfortable for each other. "

Rong Ning'er blushed and was about to speak when she saw Xue Ningshuang coming out of it.

"Sister fell asleep so soon?"

"You and my husband are lingering here, how can I sleep well, and your bijia is covered with a lot of oil stains!"

Rong Ning'er smiled awkwardly, looked down, and saw that there was indeed a large amount of oil on the bijia, and quickly wiped it off with a cloth, but it couldn't be wiped off no matter what.

"This bijia was given to me by my husband, what should I do!"

"Don't worry, just wash with soap."

"Soap? What's soap?"

Hu Qian was taken aback. He had been in this world for a long time, and he had never washed clothes before, so he didn't know what his family used to wash clothes.

"What do you usually use to wash your clothes?"

"Although my concubine has never washed her clothes, I heard from my servants that I use rice washing water or plant ashes."

Hu Qian looked at his clothes, "Even if there is no soap, there should be soap, right?"

"And what is a pancreas?"

Hu Qian said with a smile: "Napstick is a kind of... uh... something that can only be used by gods.

Ning'er, don't worry, my husband will make soap for you today, and keep your clothes clean. "

If an ordinary person wants to make soap in ancient times, it will probably take a lot of time. First of all, there are a lot of materials to find.

Even if all the materials are ready, there are many issues to consider.

For example, even if it is made, what if no one dares to use it?
In other words, what if the prescription is robbed by powerful people?
In short, there are many concerns.

But Hu Qian doesn't have to worry about these at all.

As soon as he said it, he immediately went outside and summoned a group of eunuchs and maids, and asked, "Go find some lime for me."

The crowd immediately froze, you looked at me, I looked at you, no one dared to speak.

Finally, a young eunuch boldly said: "Your Majesty, what is Lime?"

Hu Qian had a question mark on his forehead.

In the previous life, Yu Qian in the Ming Dynasty had a famous song "Lime Yin"

Thousands of hammers dug out of the mountains, and the fire burned as if it were idle.

The bones and bones are not afraid, they should be left innocent.

The production process of lime has already been mentioned here, but no one even knows what lime is how to get here.

He originally thought that it might be that the eunuchs and maids had no schooling and lack of knowledge, and it was dawn when he saw it, so he immediately sent someone to ask Guo Yu.

As a result, Guo Yu didn't know either.

"Is there any lime powder? Limestone?"

After asking several times, one of the little eunuchs suddenly said: "Your Majesty, I heard from the alchemist Lu Tianshi that the limestone was transported from Mount Li, and there should be some in the palace."

"where?"

"In the Palace of Heavenly Masters."

"Go with him and get them all."

"Yes!"

"and many more!
Is there caustic soda?

Then take caustic soda and lard. "

Still the eunuch said: "Your Majesty, there is no caustic soda, can trona be used?"

Hu Qian said, "What's your name?"

"My servant, Wang Cheng'en, was serving the fourth prince before."

"Have you ever read a book?"

"I read enlightenment books before entering the palace, but I never read them afterwards."

Hu Qian nodded, "Follow me from now on, but I can't be called Wang Chengen anymore.

I will change your name to Hu Chengxi. "

Hu Chengxi happily knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

"go quickly."

In the morning, Shen Yuzhen and Zhiqin discussed about setting up the palace, while Hu Qian was busy making his own soap.

In fact, this soap is not very difficult to make, otherwise Hu Qian would not know it.

To put it simply, it is to smelt and purify the trona ore, then put it in lime water, and then put lard in it to heat.

The specific steps are a little more complicated than this, but that's about it.

However, what he didn't expect was that even though he knew how to do it, he still wasted a lot of materials before finally making the soap.

And I forgot to prepare abrasive tools, and the result was not a piece of soap, but a whole big pot.

Shen Yuzhen and the others were a little surprised when they saw this kind of thing that Hu Qian brought out.

"This bread-like thing is soap?"

"It can't be counted yet, it needs to be added."

Because it was reported that Hong Shougao disappeared from the imperial prison, it was said that Hong Shougao, who had been locked up for a few days, seemed to be dying, so Hu Qian sent him to the Guangming Hall.

"Cut this soap into pieces yourself, and divide them equally."

Although Shen Yuzhen didn't believe that this thing could have any effect, she believed in Hu Qian, so she still obeyed.

When they arrived at the Guangming Hall, Ruan Conghai and Shen Lian escorted Hong Shougao to stand below. When they saw Hu Qian coming in, they bowed and said, "See Your Majesty."

Hu Qian nodded and looked at Hong Shougao.

Since the dead Zhu Shouchang and Emperor Longtai could be controlled by the nightmare ghost, then this Hong Shougao was probably also in the same situation, so Hu Qian sealed his body with a golden talisman early on to prevent the smoker from coming out.

I thought I could wait for the overall situation to stabilize before dealing with this matter, but I didn't expect him to be unable to hold on so soon.

It's just that a lot of seven-star leeches were spent last time to treat Xu Zhenhu's illness, and if he wanted to use this medicine to deal with him, he couldn't get it out.

Besides, it's hard to judge whether he is controlled by the nightmare or not.

But if you don't ask anything, it would be a pity if he really died.

If it is who these people who control the Nightmare are, Hu Qian has a rough guess in his heart.

First of all, there is Lu Tianshi, the alchemy master. Since he went in and out of the palace, he was the most suspicious.

The second is the person who pretends to be the chief commander.

Since he was able to kill Da Si Ming silently, it must be because of his superb methods.

Due to the affairs of the court, Hu Qian wanted to wait a while before looking for these two people. It would be best if he could get some useful clues from Hong Shougao.

"Hong Shougao, are you convicted?"

Hong Shougao raised his head and smiled, although he wasn't very angry, he still said forcefully: "Hu Qian, kill as soon as you want, why bother talking so much nonsense!"

Ruan Conghai shouted: "Bold!"

Hu Qian waved his hand, "Who is the person behind you?"

"It's still the same sentence, the more you want to know, the more I won't tell you.

Don't think about using any supernatural powers, as long as you use them, the nightmare ghost will explode, and I will die here immediately, and you still can't ask anything haha..."

Hu Qian nodded, "Sure enough, Emperor Longtai and Zhu Shouchang have nightmare ghosts in their bodies, and you also have...

How many people are there in the palace? "

Hong Shougao simply shut his mouth and refused to say anything.

Hu Qian frowned.

There are probably other people possessed by the nightmare in the palace. They may look normal at ordinary times, but once the nightmare is haunted, they don't know what they can do.

Although the golden talisman can deal with ghosts, ordinary people and corpses possessed by nightmare ghosts are not affected.

Just as I was thinking, the long-lost reminder appeared again.

【What's in Hong Shougao's house】

Hu Qian's heart skipped a beat, this reminder really came too timely.

But still thinking about it, Hong Shougao suddenly stood up and rushed towards Hu Qian as if he was returning to the light.

"Be careful, Your Majesty!"

Shen Lian yelled, and Ruan Conghai hurried forward to rescue him.

Before Hong Shougao could get close, Hu Qian's Longyuan sword suddenly slashed across, and immediately decapitated him.

Sure enough, as soon as he died, a nightmare sprang out of his mouth, but just after he came out, he touched the golden talisman and exploded with a "bang".

Shen Lian and Ruan Conghai couldn't dodge in time, they were sprayed all over the face, they froze in place with bitter expressions.

Hu Qian said: "Don't worry, this thing is dead and there is no threat, just go back and wash it."

After finishing speaking, he said: "Hu Chengxi, do you know the details of Hong Shougao?"

Although Hu Chengxi knew that Hu Qian's supernatural powers were powerful before, but he just thought about it in his head. Seeing Hu Qian raise his hand to take the head at this moment, his legs trembled in fright.

"Going back to the emperor, this servant knows a little bit.

Hong Shougao is from Qinghu. It is said that his family is poor. Besides him, there are two older brothers in his family. "

"Does he have any real estate in the capital?"

"I don't know about that, but he has a godson in the capital named Qian Xiaoliu, who seems to be the pusher of Shuntian Mansion."

Hu Qian nodded, "Ruan Aiqing, do you know the former Xiaoliu?"

"Your Majesty, I know this person.

Moreover, when the emperor asked the minister to put Hong Shougao in prison, the minister had already paid close attention to the movements of the former Xiaoliu. "

"Very good, arrest his whole family and send them to prison, remember! Don't use torture first! Don't accidentally injure good people.

I'll check it out tonight. "

"The emperor is lenient, I must remember it!"

When they returned to Qianming Palace, Shen Yuzhen and the others had already left.

I asked the maid, and she said that Shen Yuzhen went to Kunshang Palace, Axiu went to Renning Palace, Rong Ning'er and Xue Ningshuang lived together in Jinghe Palace, Lu Huanniang went to Jingxi Palace, and Chu Chu went to Yongtai Palace.

As for Xiaohuan, Xinger, Yingcai, Sister Feng, Luer, and Junzi...

Although Hu Qian allowed them to occupy a palace each, none of them were willing and wanted to be with their respective masters.

Since they were willing, Hu Qian did not stop them.

But Zhiying, as the leader of the female officials, reminded Hu Qian.

Hu Qian didn't care about these red tapes, they were all in one place, which saved him from running back and forth.

What's more, I don't know how many people in the inner palace are possessed by nightmare ghosts. If they take the opportunity to assassinate them, even if Shen Yuzhen and others are very skilled, how can Dafu and other children be able to stop them.

So, this now makes him feel much more at ease.
