Chapter 53 Madness
"Just kidding, how could I know that ugly ghost!" Princess Taiping replied disdainfully, only when she mentioned the disfigured man yesterday, a look of fear flashed across her little face, and the man's appearance also left a shadow in her heart.
"Think about it again, since he knows you, you should have seen her, don't you have any impression?" Zhang Zong asked again unwillingly. Xue Shao could explain if he didn't know the other party, but even Taiping didn't know the disfigured man, which was too strange.
Hearing Zhang Zong say this, Taiping tilted his head and thought about it for a while, and finally said thoughtfully: "After you say this, I think the ugly ghost's back looks familiar, and it seems that he has seen it somewhere."
"Really?" Zhang Zong was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately urged again, "Think about it carefully, where have you seen him?"
Princess Taiping thought hard for a while, but finally shook her head hard and said, "No, I just feel that his back is familiar, but I can't remember where I have seen him!"
Zhang Zong also looked disappointed when he heard this. The children's memories were not very reliable, so Princess Taiping felt that they looked familiar, but in fact they were not very credible.
"I don't want to think about it anymore, don't you want to make perfume? Is there anything I can help?" Princess Taiping gave up and turned her attention to the perfume again.
"It takes a lot of flowers to make perfume. There should be a lot of them in Furong Garden. If you choose a flower you like, the quantity must be large, and the fragrance must be stronger, so that you can make perfume." Zhang Zong didn't want Princess Taiping to stare at her here anymore, so he ordered.
"That's great, I'll go find it now!" Princess Taiping cheered and then disappeared from the wall, which made Zhang Zong feel relieved.
The alcohol was gone, and Xue Shao happened to be here, so Zhang Zong asked for help. The two of them distilled some alcohol first. Thinking that the disfigured man gave so much gold yesterday, Zhang Zong distilled more. Of course, the one who left for the other party only distilled three times, while the one who made the perfume had to distil more than four times.
Xue Ninger was also very curious about the production of perfume. As a result, she was too close to her when distilling alcohol, and her little face was flushed in the end. The smell of alcohol in the air was so strong that even if she breathed lightly, she could make people feel drunk.
Zhang Zong collected the distilled alcohol, and then went to Furongyuan with Xue Shao and his brother and sister. At this time, Taiping also found flowers to distillate. She actually chose gardenias. Although the weather is very hot now, it is the flowering period of gardenias, and many of them were the ones Zhang Zong took care of before.
After picking enough gardenias, Zhang Zong and Xue Shao did the same thing and returned home to distillate essential oils. However, Xue Shao whispered: "Brother Shi, aren't we cheating Taiping to make perfume for ten days and half a month? Isn't it a bit too early now?"
"This..." Zhang Zong also realized this problem. He only thought about getting rid of Taiping's entanglement, but forgot what he said before. Moreover, he also deceived Taiping when he was a change of eggs, but now he has no use.
"Let's do it like this, put the essential oil for two days first. Then I will say that this time will be smoother and will be done a few days in advance, so that it won't seem abrupt." Zhang Zong thought for a moment and said again.
Xue Shao nodded immediately when he heard this. He felt sorry for Taiping who came from Furongyuan. At this time, he was still watching drop after drop of essential oil flowing out from the outlet. He was only thinking about his own perfume in his mind, but he didn't know that Zhang Zong and Xue Shao were lying to her together.
As the saying goes, Princess Taiping suddenly raised her head in confusion and looked at Zhang Zong and asked, "Zhang Zong, didn't you say that the egg-changing eggs should absorb the impurities in the perfume? But the perfume I saw was quite clean?"
"What comes out is essential oil. Although it is quite fragrant, it is just one of the main ingredients of perfume. Next, it needs a very complicated ratio. When the egg comes out, it will naturally be useful." Zhang Zong continued to lie without changing his face. Behind a lie, there are often thousands of lies to support him. Now he finally has a deep understanding.
"It's so troublesome!" Taiping also showed a disappointed look after hearing this. Taiping was actually her Taoist name. Because when she was a child, she became a female crown at a very young age in order to pray for her grandmother Yang. Of course, she did not really become a monk, but just became a female Taoist priest in name.
"Brother Shi, have you made new food? Is the egg delicious?" Xue Shao's eyes lit up when he heard this, and then pulled Zhang Zong aside and asked in a low voice.
"I can't say whether it tastes good or not. People who like it think it tastes good, but people who don't like it can't eat it at all. You will know if you try it in a few days." Zhang Zong explained in a low voice.
"Brother Shi, do you think it's delicious?" Xue Shao asked again.
"Of course I think it tastes good, otherwise I wouldn't have made it." Zhang Zong replied with a smile, which made Xue Shao even more expectant. Since Zhang Zong thought it tastes good, he felt it should be in line with his taste.
At the same time, in a mansion west of Chang'an City, a group of dancers in colorful clothes were dancing to the music, and the music next to them seemed to be immersed in their own music. In the lobby, a man in a gauze dress was enjoying the wonderful singing and dancing in front of him.
On the surface, this is just a scene of a wealthy family's usual pleasure, but the man in the lobby has burns on his face and looks extremely ugly. His missing lips reveal his white teeth, which is daunting.
The beautiful and soft figure of the dancer and the musicians carefully played the music, these beautiful things form a strong contrast with the extremely ugly men in the hall, making the picture in front of you seem to be a little distorted.
"Give me my good wine!" As the dance music reached its climax, the ugly man suddenly shouted excitedly, and a maid next to him immediately brought a jade pot to the man. The man didn't use a wine glass and drank it wildly at the jade pot.
This ugly man was the man with a hat that Zhang Zong had met yesterday. The good wine in the pot was naturally the distilled liquor made by Zhang Zong. This man had a lot of alcohol. Even if he couldn't drink the average wine, it was difficult to get drunk. However, Zhang Zong's distilled liquor was extremely high, and he drank it vigorously. Finally, when the last drop of wine was finished, the ugly man also entered a trance.
"Haha~hehe~hahahaha~" Under the influence of drunkenness, the man suddenly burst into a crazy laugh, and even laughed harder and even more violently. In the end, he stood up and laughed wildly, unable to even straighten his waist.
Faced with the master's crazy laughter, although the musician and dancer below had long been accustomed to the master's madness, they seemed a little panicked at this time. Some musicians even played a wrong note, and some dancer even stepped on the wrong beat. If it were put on normal times, it would definitely lead to punishment from the disfigured man.
However, today the disfigured man was immersed in the happiness brought to him by alcohol. He turned a blind eye to the mistakes of the musician and the dancer. Instead, he came to the scene with a laugh and danced with the dancer. However, compared to the dancer's graceful dance posture, his dance was very crazy, as if he wanted to leak out something in his body?
People who drink alcohol cannot be rational. The physical strength of the disfigured man seemed to be stimulated by alcohol. In the end, he became more and more crazy and more. Even though his whole body was soaked in sweat, he had no intention of stopping. Instead, the dancers were exhausted and panting, and their dance posture had long been deformed, but without the orders of their master, they did not dare to stop at all.
In the end, the dancers were all shaking. When they were about to hold on, they suddenly saw a man in charge running into the hall quickly. He seemed to be accustomed to the strange scene in front of him, and then he reported loudly: "Master, someone is coming from Luoyang!"
"Luoyang? Which Luoyang?" The disfigured man finally stopped when he heard this and asked drunkenly.
"Master, Luoyang sent someone to ask how the things in the palace were doing some time ago?" The manager smiled bitterly when he saw the disfigured man drunk, but he still reported the matter.
"In the palace?" The disfigured man seemed to think of something when he heard this. Then he felt as if he was stimulated. He grabbed the piano in the hand of the virgin next to him and swung it around. He immediately became injured and fell to the ground. The other dancers were also screaming in fear and ran away in scattering, and the entire hall was in chaos.
"What are you running, dance for me! Jump..." The disfigured man shouted wildly, waving the long piano in his hand and smashed it around. The musical instruments, tables, chairs, porcelain, etc. were all overturned to the ground by him. The pleasure just now turned into a mess in the blink of an eye.
In the end, everyone ran away, and even the manager who reported the news quietly slipped away, and the disfigured man was tired of smashing. In addition, his alcoholism came up, so he threw away the Canqin and lie on the ground and fell asleep.
I don't know how long it took, but the disfigured man woke up from his sleep. He stood up and looked at the wreckage everywhere, but he didn't care at all. The previous madness had completely disappeared from him, replaced by a kind of stagnant calm.
"Come!" With the disfigured man's order, several servants immediately came out of some corner, and then began to clean up the mess without saying a word. Then the manager who reported the news yesterday also appeared again, and repeated what he reported yesterday.
