Chapter 9 ? Spy
Two days later.
The side courtyard where the Zhongfangdao people were located seemed to be a factory.
Oil, flowers and other materials began to be sent to the side courtyard, which made the people in the royal palace very curious and even privately inquire about the news about the side courtyard.
"Xiaoxiang, you usually follow your wife, do you know what the side courtyard is doing recently?" Somewhere, a manager in the royal palace was inquiring about the news about the side courtyard with a female maid.
The maid named Xiaoxiang looks pretty and has a red face. You can tell at first that she is definitely not a woman from ordinary people.
Xiaoxiang originally came from a small family of officials.
Because she offended the big man at home, she finally became an exiled person. She became a woman from the Jiaofang and was finally sent to the royal palace to be Wang Shu's maid.
When Xiaoxiang heard the manager's question, she looked around nervously. Seeing that there was no one around, she said softly: "Manager Qiao, don't inquire. The princess told me that no one can tell me about the side courtyard. Moreover, since his highness fell into the water, his temperament has changed drastically. If we do anything, your highness may have to blame us."
"Xiaoxiang, you're overthinking. Although the side courtyard is where the Taoist priests and alchemists live, the smell that floats out there has changed recently. This makes me feel a little confused when I yearn for alchemy and seeking Taoism, so I want to ask you." Manager Qiao had a look of begging for the Tao on his face, and continued to ask about the things in the side courtyard.
Xiaoxiang shook her head, "I can't say that if Manager Qiao wants to know, it's better to go to His Highness or the Princess. If I say something wrong, I will not have a good time."
After saying that, Xiaoxiang turned around and left, no longer being questioned by Manager Qiao.
Xiaoxiang's departure did not let Manager Qiao dismiss him and found out the situation in the side hospital.
This is not.
Xiaoxiang couldn't get the answer, so this manager Qiao started to make other people's ideas again.
For several days, Manager Qiao never stopped asking.
After finally spending ten cents of money, he learned about the recent news from a certain customer who bought it.
"Soap? What is that? It's used to wash clothes? Why haven't I heard of this name?" Manager Qiao took great effort to get the news, but the name of Soap made him confused.
And at this time.
In the side courtyard, Li Yan was looking at the soap that was calmly cooled aside, and a sense of pride arose, "It's really good. I didn't expect that Li Yan could still make soap. It seems that it's hard for me to not get rich."
"Your Highness, you don't call him Li Yan. You can't be in trouble." Wang Shu, who was beside him, suddenly heard Li Yan call himself Li Yan, and immediately spoke up to remind him.
Li Yan chuckled, it didn't matter much, "What Li Yan, I will call him Li Yan in the future. Li Yan will have a blessing in the future if he survives the disaster."
"Your Highness, just talk at the mansion, you can't go outside to talk. If the officials and father-in-law heard this, we would really not be able to take it." Wang Shu was a little scared.
There is no way to change the name of Li Yong?
What's more, Li Yong is still a royal family. If you want to change your name, you have to report to the emperor. If you get permission, you can report to Zongzheng Temple before you can change the name.
Li Yan smiled gently, no longer arguing with Wang Shu, and continued to check the neatly arranged soap molds, which were tidy and well-placed.
After these days, with the efforts of the Taoist sects, the soap was being made day and night, and it was all in two shifts.
After five or six days, thousands of soap can be made every day. Nowadays, the amount of soap is almost 6,000.
Each piece of slap has a size and thickness of forearm, which is enough for a family of five to spend in the first half of a month.
Made, cool, solidify.
All of these take time.
From production to actual use, it will take nearly one month of solidification and cooling time.
night.
In the side courtyard, it is still brightly lit and steaming.
Under the lights, several square Taos were working hard and concentrating on making soap.
And at this time.
However, the Manager Qiao appeared quietly on the wall of the side courtyard, stretching his head and heading towards the side courtyard.
‘This is the soap that Your Highness wants to make? Pieces, can it really wash away the dirty clothes?’ Manager Qiao carefully climbed down the yard wall along the ladder he brought.
In an instant, two pieces of soap were added to my hand.
Then.
He was cautious again and crawled out of the side courtyard.
the next day.
In Pingkangfang, in a room in a brothel, Manager Qiao was standing nervously in the middle of the room, receiving the gaze of a middle-aged man.
Middle-aged people do not need white flour, but they emit a strong spice smell, but the spice smell is mixed from time to time with a scent of urine.
If Li Yan was present at this time, he must have known that the middle-aged man in front of him must be a eunuch, because only the eunuch's body will be accompanied by the smell of urine.
The middle-aged man without white-faced face stared at Manager Qiao for a long time before he calmly made a sharp voice, "Qiao Shuang, if you want to get the reward, just rely on these two turbid yellow things, do you think I'm a scam?"
"Dadlock, the little one is really not intentional. King Ying didn't know what he was doing recently, not only did not refine elixirs or sleep, but he made a large number of things called soap in the side yard. According to Xiao's inquiry, this soap is said to have a defilement effect. Please ask the little one to try it out and you will know one or two." Manager Qiao was shocked.
The one in front of him is his previous home.
If the previous family gets angry, his head will never last long.
The middle-aged man with white face nodded gently after listening to it.
Manager Qiao didn't say a word, and picked up one of the soaps and began to test the effects of the soaps in front of the eunuch.
After a moment.
When the eunuch saw it, he immediately rose up and headed straight for Manager Qiao's hands, "Hey~~ It's such a good thing. It smells a little bit. I don't know how to use it for bathing."
"Dadfather, according to my inquiry, this thing can indeed be used for bathing. Moreover, King Ying and Princess and others seem to have used this thing to bathe in recent days." Manager Qiao quickly added.
After hearing the sound, the eunuch suddenly felt excited, turned around slowly, and said softly: "Continue to stare at it, if this thing is a good thing, Eunuch Gao and I will never treat you badly."
"Thank you, thank you, thank you, Eunuch Gao." After Manager Qiao said this, he was overjoyed, then left the room and went back to the palace.
And this eunuch left the brothel and returned to the palace shortly after Manager Qiao left.
