Chapter 52 Medicated Oil

Zhu Ling then instructed Cui Zhu to fetch the items.

Song Youan was initially very curious, but she only showed a surprised expression when she held a porcelain white vase in her hands.

A vase?
She looked at Zhu Ling with a puzzled expression: "Miss, I don't know what's so special about this vase?"

During the Dazhao period, celadon ware technology had reached its peak, and even folk kilns could produce extremely exquisite porcelain. The products of the official kilns were even more perfect and gorgeous.

The vase in my hand has a smooth, cool feel and a soft, translucent porcelain color. It is indeed an extremely beautiful vase, but such things are not rare in Da Zhao.

Seeing that Song Youan hadn't noticed anything amiss, Zhu Ling covered her mouth and giggled, "Miss Song, take another good look."

Upon hearing this, Song Youan picked up the vase and examined it carefully.

The sun was shining brightly outside, and just then a ray of brilliant sunlight pierced through the room, gently brushing against half of the vase.

A magical scene unfolded: the originally translucent white half of the bottle turned into a light blue-green color, creating a noticeable color difference with the other half of the porcelain-white bottle.

Song Youan then placed the vase in a dark place, and the color difference disappeared, turning the entire vase white again.

"Hey?"

The vase held a hidden secret, which amazed Song Youan.

Seeing this, Cuizhu smiled and said, "Miss Song always studies novel things, and there are even things that can surprise you."

Unable to hide her excitement, Zhu Ling asked her, "How is it? Is this fun?"

Song Youan nodded slightly. Although the trick of gradually changing color when exposed to light is not surprising in modern society, it is often used in the clothing and automobile industries.

But it was quite novel in Da Zhao, especially on porcelain.

Seeing this, Zhu Ling explained, "This is Fuguang Kiln. It took many years to successfully fire this kind of thing. The vase in your hand is one of the first batches of finished products fired from the official kiln."

Fuguang Kiln?
Song Youan knew very little about the history of these porcelains, but as a fashion designer, she knew a lot about various fabrics from ancient times. She subconsciously said, "I do know about Floating Gloss Brocade."

“That’s right!” Zhu Ling said, “The Fuguang Kiln got its name from the Fuguang Brocade.”

Because the shimmering brocade is also mainly white and blue, with gold and silver threads interspersed throughout, it shines brightly in the sunlight.

"I see." Song You'an nodded in understanding and carefully placed the vase on the table. "Thank you, Miss, for opening my eyes. I have learned a lot."

Zhu Ling said, "The firing process for this item is extremely complicated. There are fewer than fifty intact finished products. Most of them have been sent to the palace for the use of the Emperor and Empress."

As she spoke, she winked at Song You'an and asked, "Does Miss Song like it? If so, I'll give you this white jade vase."

"what?"

Song Youan was startled and subconsciously said, "This is too precious, I dare not accept it."

"What's there to be afraid of?" Zhu Ling smiled. "It's just a vase, nothing more than something to display. It's perfectly fine to give it to you, Miss."

"Absolutely not." Song Youan still refused.

If it were just an ordinary vase, it wouldn't matter, but Zhu Ling described it as so precious and rare that she would feel it was too hot to accept.

Seeing Song Youan's resistance, the smile on Zhu Ling's face gradually faded.

She sighed softly and lowered her voice, saying, "Does Miss Song not consider me a friend?"

Song Youan looked up at Zhu Ling, puzzled.

friend?

How could she be friends with the young lady from the Marquis of Fuyang's mansion?
She had never considered this possibility, or perhaps subconsciously, she didn't believe she could become friends with the daughter of a noble family. She was a businesswoman; if it weren't for making money, she probably wouldn't have any interaction with her at all.

"Never mind." Zhu Ling forced a smile and waved her hand, signaling Cuizhu to take the vase away. Then she looked at Song You'an and asked, "Did Miss Song bring that invigorating thing?"

"Yes." Song Youan quickly took out a small emerald green bottle from her sleeve pocket. If you didn't look closely, it looked quite like a perfume bottle.

"What is this?"

"This stuff is called medicated oil."

"Fengyoujing (a type of medicated oil)?" Zhu Ling asked curiously, "Is it for drinking?"

“Uh…” Song Youan hesitated for a moment and said, “Theoretically speaking, although this thing can be taken orally, it is not recommended to take it orally.”

Before Zhu Ling could ask any more questions, Song Youan explained, "It has many uses, but I often use it to refresh myself. Just put two drops on your finger and gently rub your temples, and your mind will instantly become clear."

"That simple? Will it even work?" Zhu Ling got up with some skepticism and sat down in the chair next to Song You'an: "You try it on me first."

Song Youan smiled and nodded, then applied the mixture evenly to Zhu Ling's temples using the method she had described.

In an instant, it felt like a refreshing autumn breeze was blowing into my temples. I felt a cool and refreshing sensation at the acupoints, and my whole body felt as if a cold wind had blown over me, instantly making me feel refreshed.

"Oh...oh...it's so cool..."

Zhu Ling subconsciously fanned her temples with her hand, but the more she fanned, the cooler she felt, and the drowsiness she felt after breakfast was instantly swept away.

Seeing this, Song Youan said softly, "Miss, don't worry, this chill will gradually subside in a while."

"This thing is amazing!" Zhu Ling shook off her earlier gloom and became excited again. "Miss Song, this thing of yours is very useful."

Song Youan knew the uses of medicated oil, so she naturally understood that it would be easy to popularize this product.

In modern society, students and office workers love to use it to refresh themselves. It can also repel mosquitoes, relieve itching, and even remove dirt, making it very versatile.

"Cuizhu, go and call my second brother here," Zhu Ling ordered impatiently.

Cuizhu agreed and turned to leave quickly.

A short while later, Cuizhu returned empty-handed: "Miss, the Second Young Master is reading in his study and said not to disturb him."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Ling looked helplessly at Song You'an: "I told you, this person has gone stupid from reading too much."

After saying that, he pulled Song Youan out of the house: "If he won't come, we'll go over there and use this to broaden his horizons."

This was Song You'an's first time visiting another courtyard of the Marquis's residence. Unlike the luxurious Zhu Ling Courtyard, the Second Young Master's courtyard was quite ordinary, lacking even elegance.

One of the wooden windows was half-open, and Zhu Zhe was sitting by the window studying. He didn't even hear them coming, which showed how focused he was.

"Second brother!"

Zhu Ling shouted loudly, startling Zhu Zhe so much that he almost dropped the book in his hand.

Upon seeing who it was, Zhu Zhe patted his chest with lingering fear: "You brat, you've got nothing better to do than come looking for your second brother's amusement again."

After saying that, he greeted Song You'an: "Miss Song, we meet again."

Song You'an bowed respectfully through the window: "This humble woman greets the young marquis."

Zhu Ling stepped forward and leaned against the window, saying, "Second Brother, Miss Song has brought you some nice things."
