Chapter 020: Distinguishing Incense (1)
"Is this really jade also incense?" among the guests, someone asked quietly, and it was difficult to hide their surprise. In this world, there are flowers and trees that can be used for incense, birds and animals, or directly take its body, or take its secretion, and then refine and concoct it, and pay attention to it with your heart to get that wisp of incense.
But all those who love incense believe that incense is born from the essence of heaven and earth, and gathers the pure yang qi to combine, so these incense materials, whether they are high or low, are derived from life, so incense has spirituality.
"This king has heard that the Changxiang Hall has been incense with jade since ancient times, but this kind of incense is rarely shown in front of people, most of them are the occasional rise of the great incense master, only those who are destined to see it. ”
The listener sighed lightly, and someone next to him asked: "In this way, isn't it true that gold, silver, copper, and iron can also be incense?"
"Don't you know, for the Great Incense Master, everything can be incensed. ”
"I've heard such rumors below, but ...... Now it is not the great incense master who participates in the incense identification, although the yellow incense master is not an idle person, but after all, he has not crossed the threshold, how can he use all things as incense?"
"How do you know that this is not what the Great Incense Master meant, in my opinion, today's incense discernment will not disappoint me. ”
"That's that......"
……
After Huang Xiangshi placed the incense utensils on the table, he raised his face and looked at Jing Zhong: "Huang needs a little jade powder." ”
This is to grind a little jade powder from the jade seal, although Jing Zhong knew that this was needed, but he still hesitated in his heart at this moment. After all, this is the most important jade seal left by Jing Gong, and even his wife can't look at it lightly on weekdays, even if it is himself, he has to take it lightly when he observes, and he doesn't dare to be careless, for fear of touching a little, but now he has to let the jade craftsman grind it.
That's really ...... Unconsciously, Jing Zhong glanced at Bai Yan again, but saw Bai Yan bowing his head at the jade craftsman next to him, Jing Zhong secretly took a breath before he spoke: "Then please." ”
The jade craftsman, who was over half a hundred years old, saluted these nobles, and then looked at Mama Hua's side, and saw that the other party did not object, so he stepped forward with his tools.
The reason why soft fragrant jade has a soft word is because its hardness is the lowest among jade, and the jade stone can be lightly ground off part of it.
Under the eyes of everyone, the jade craftsman exhaled lightly, and then cautiously picked up a jade seal.
In a few moments, three equal amounts of jade powder were each placed into the marked porcelain plates, and the strange fragrance in the hall seemed to be a little stronger than just now.
Master Huang Xiang stepped forward to take a closer look, bowed his head slightly, and then looked at Chuan Wu: "Your Excellency also wants to use this jade powder to distinguish incense?"
Chuan Wu seemed to disdain to answer, but just glanced at him, his expression was extremely arrogant.
Huang Xiangshi was not angry, and after returning to the incense seat and sitting down again, he glanced at Liu Xuanji. Liu Xuanji bowed slightly, and Huang Xiangshi made a gesture to the other two incense masters, and then opened the incense box, and asked the several great incense masters present to confirm that the three newly blended incense products in this incense box were all the same incense.
Generally, unfinished incense products are rarely taken out to show people, not to mention that this is still an unfinished incense product from Tianxuan Palace, and even, whether this is from the hand of Liu Daxiangshi is not necessarily. So not to mention the guests present, it was Cui Feifei and Xie Lanhe, when they took Huang Xiangshi's incense box, they were a little more cautious.
After a while, Cui Feifei raised his face and praised: "Huang Xiangshi has such a strange heart, such a fragrance really makes people look forward to how amazing the finished product will be." ”
Huang Xiangshi hurriedly said: "Mr. Cui has won the award. ”
Xie Lanhe didn't say much, just nodded slightly, which could be regarded as approval.
Because of Cui Feifei's admiration, the guests present became more and more unable to hold back, even the three brothers and sisters of the Nachuan family also raised their eyes and stared at the three incense boxes with burning eyes.
And when the incense box was delivered to them, the expression on their faces was not normal seriousness, their expressions were all restrained, and they even took a little care about their breathing. Bai Yan watched silently, his calm gaze paused from Zai Chuan Lian's face for a moment, and then fell on Mama Hua.
Mama Hua seemed to be a little impatient, her brows were tightly locked, her lips were pursed tightly, and the nasolabial folds on both sides of her mouth deepened.
After a long time, the three brothers and sisters of the Sichuan family put down the incense box and glanced at each other, and then Chuanwu, like Xie Lanhe, didn't say anything, just nodded slightly. But it was not used for Xie Lanhe's calmness, his eyes seemed to flash, and there was a kind of excitement that he couldn't hold, but he didn't show it on his face.
However, Kawatani and Kawalian, after putting down the incense box, both lowered their eyes, and their expressions were very cautious.
When Huang Xiangshi took the incense spoon to take the jade powder, Jing Zhong only felt that his heart was beating faster, and his breathing became short, and he kept looking at Bai Yan, hoping to get a reassuring look or a hint, but there was nothing.
"So what changes can a little jade powder be added in?" Uncle Jing has always had little roots in such elegant things, and he really didn't have the patience to appreciate the slow movements of those incense masters when mixing fragrances, so he turned his head to Jing Sanye and said, "What do you say they can smell?
Jing Sanye said in a low voice: "How can you and I have an answer to such things, and look at it, since the great incense masters are here, this matter must have a convincing result for the people of Southern Xinjiang." ”
"Everyone can see that the people of Southern Xinjiang are uneasy and kind, it is his ......" Uncle Jing secretly snuggled towards Bai Yan, "I can't see what kind of heart he has, it is best to benefit Jing Mansion today, otherwise-"
Jing Sanye shook his head lightly, he couldn't understand it, who could see the current situation.
After about a stick of incense, the three parts of jade powder have been combined into the incense, and the three incense masters light charcoal and burn incense at the same time.
It was obviously very quiet, but there seemed to be a silent string sound tightening, the guests at the second table all stretched their necks, some people couldn't help but raise their buttocks, and the three brothers and sisters of the Sichuan family also raised their eyes, and all their eyes fell on the hands of the three incense masters.
The flame flickered slightly, the simple incense burner came alive, the slightest sound, the most gentle movements turned into the most beautiful streamline, the solemn expression, the exquisite costumes, and the incense pills that were clamped, all became the string that touched people's hearts.
The guests unconsciously lifted their breath, Cui Feifei and Xie Lanhe's expressions were a little more serious than just now, but Liu Xuanji had a vague smile on her lips, and everyone who looked at her would almost think that she was smiling at herself, and then panicked.
Jing Zhong tensed his back, and kept thinking about today's qiē incident in his heart, carefully pondering the clues. Jing Ming was also nervous, and at the same time secretly had some expectations, Jing Xiao glanced at Bai Yan distractedly, but he couldn't understand the expression on Bai Yan's face, that indifferent look, he didn't seem to care, and it seemed that Chengzhu was already in his chest.
The incense pill is placed in the incense burner, and the movement is as light as a feather.
But almost everyone felt that their hearts were being pinched!.
