Since Han Shanggong settled in Tai'an Temple, Tai'an Temple has held a spice competition every year to select outstanding spice talents for the palace. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

And this time, the spice competition was originally scheduled for the first day of the lunar month, and now in order to find the talent to save benzoin for the Empress Dowager, it has been advanced for more than three months.

Naturally, the people are unaware of these things.

The little stupid fish listened to Fei'er's words, and was full of confidence in the game three days later.

They Sixiangzhai has always been in a position in the spice market, and if they want to be famous, they have to seize this opportunity.

Regarding the spice competition this time, when he learned the news, he went to Tai'an Temple in person and understood the matter clearly as soon as possible.

"This time Tai'an Temple held this spice competition, as long as the people with spice qualification certificates can participate in this competition, the rules of the competition are to make a benzoin in a pillar of incense, the final decision is in the hands of the host of Tai'an Temple, and the final contestants who pass the competition can not only get a huge amount of bonuses, but also have the right to supply spices in the palace for one year."

In the past, Tai'an Temple would also hold spice competitions, but only some bonuses were awarded, and the winner could get a year's right to offer incense to Tai'an Temple in addition to the bonus.

There are many pilgrims in Tai'an Temple, which is already a good deal for the spice shops in Kyoto, basically the second spice competition held by the Tai'an Temple, the spice shop merchants have come to participate, and the profits over the years have been good.

As soon as the news came out this year, the spice shops were even more struggling to win the final victory in this competition.

After the little stupid fish finished speaking, Fei'er's brows frowned, she did not have a spice qualification certificate, which meant that she could not participate in this competition.

This condition was something Fei'er didn't expect, and the things that had already won the game were now not sure at all.

"Miss, what's wrong?" When the little stupid fish saw that he finished speaking, Fei'er fell into silence and asked.

Fei'er pursed her lips and pondered for a moment, then said, "Little stupid fish, does anyone in our Sixiang Zhai have a spice qualification certificate?" ”

Little Benyu shook his head and said, "No one in the store has this spice qualification certificate. ”

After the little stupid fish finished speaking, he looked at Fei'er and said, "Miss, no, you don't have this certificate either." ”

Fei'er's heart sank, there were only three days before the spice competition held in Tai'an Temple, although it was easy for her to get the competition, the time to get the qualification certificate for the spice competition was only on the third day of March every year, and she had to wait for another year if she wanted to get this certificate, and where could she wait for the current situation.

The little stupid fish was anxious, "Miss, what should I do now?" If we miss this opportunity, we will have to wait another year. It's a shame. He said.

Fei'er stared for a moment and then said, "Since no one in the store has obtained the spice qualification certificate, where did the spice qualification certificate in the store come from?" ”

"It was provided by the guy in the shop next to him, and we paid him twenty taels of silver a month, and his spice certificate was hung with us."

Some spice shops do not have the qualification to make incense, and there are many people who are named from other places, and most of these spice shops sell made incense, but do not make their own spices.

If there is someone in Sixiang Zhai who has a certificate, Fei'er can also hand over the craft of making incense to that person, but if the people in the store do not have this qualification, then how can they participate in the competition of Tai'an Temple.

There is also a way to borrow a spice certificate, but if it is discovered, it will be immediately disqualified from this spice competition.

Fei Er thought about it, but she didn't think of any good way, of course, she could also go directly to Tai'an Temple to find Han Shanggong, but Han Shanggong couldn't see her, she went to find her so rashly, Han Shanggong must be suspicious of her.

Fei'er's expression became solemn.

The difficulty in this matter is still in the spice qualification certificate, either to obtain the spice qualification certificate through a relationship, or to ask Han Shanggong to make an exception and agree to let her participate in the competition.

Entering the palace is the key, but it is equally important for her to make the four incense houses famous in Kyoto.

After thinking about it, Fei'er decided to go to Tai'an Temple to meet Han Shanggong in person.

"Little stupid fish, let someone prepare a carriage, you and I will go to Tai'an Temple." She said.

Fei'er went to the spice room again to get some prepared incense and went out with the little stupid fish out of the four incense Zhai.

Tai'an Temple was originally established because of the promise of Han Shanggong to repay the Buddha's vows, and it was only two years.

However, with the full support of the Empress Dowager, coupled with the careful management of the Han Shang Palace, now the Tai'an Temple in Kyoto is a temple worthy of the name, especially the ladies of the noble family, the first choice of the Buddha must be this Tai'an Temple, in the past two years, the Tai'an Temple is full of people, lively and extraordinary.

And because Tai'an Temple is going to hold this spice competition in advance, the number of people entering the temple is twice as many as usual.

Fei'er and Little Benyu got down from the carriage and walked all the way to Tai'an Temple along the mountain road, where they met a lot of officials and their dependents, Fei'er didn't recognize these women, but these women knew Fei'er.

These nobles and noblewomen, some on foot, some on the chariot carried by two people, the destination is one - Tai'an Temple.

"Miss Lu, do you also go to Tai'an Temple to offer incense?" A young lady looked at her and asked with a smile.

Fei'er smiled and nodded, there was a companion next to the man, the two little girls were cute and cute, and the two maidservants behind him followed closely with the incense basket, and Fei'er casually saw the agarwood in the incense basket. "You also came to Tai'an Temple to offer incense?"

The girls smiled and nodded, "One is to incense, and the other is to come to Tai'an Temple for ventilation, the mountains and forests behind the Tai'an Temple are beautiful, and the environment is quiet, which is a rare and good place." Asking for a lottery at Tai'an Temple and playing a game of chess in a quiet place is also a kind of fun. ”

"Miss Lu wants to come along?" The two young ladies asked, the two of them had seen Fei'er in the paddock, and they had a good impression of Fei'er, so they became friends.

"I don't know what the two young ladies call them?" Fei'er said, the little girl is friendly and friendly, and Fei'er is happy to make friends with such a little girl.

"Miss Lu, my name is Ling Xue." The young lady who had greeted Fei'er earlier pointed to another little girl next to her and said, "This is my little sister, named Mu Chen." We are the same age, and we will be thirteen years old after the new year. ”

"Oh, then I'll be a year older than you." Phil laughed.

The girls laughed, and smiled sweetly Sister, several people were of the same age, and they soon became acquainted, and the two looked at Fei'er with interest and joked, "Sister Fei'er, you came to this Tai'an Temple, why didn't Prince Zheng accompany you." ”

Since the paddock incident, the story of the two has long spread throughout Kyoto, especially among the noble ladies, which makes these ladies envious.
