White City has a long history. It founded a city in the 90s of the 20th century and designated a new district in the last decade. Bounded by a grassy river, Hexi is the old town, with an old railway station, a small hotel, a foot massage shop and a flying restaurant at the same time. Hedong is a new city with newly opened buildings, neat commercial streets, beautiful green spaces, and government buildings.

Land Rover slowly crossed the bridge and went further. Suddenly, the street widened, and the buildings in front of him seemed to have bright colors. After a while, the car turned into an alley and slowly stopped.

Gucci got out of the car and looked up. It's not a villa, it's a small house. The green bricks and tiles, the cornices that appear, and the big trees planted in the courtyard are all somewhat old.

Although the land price in Baicheng is not high, the strength of the house can still be seen.

"Come in, Grandma. She may be in a hurry. ”

As soon as Zeng Shufei entered the yard, he pushed open the electronic lock and shouted, "Grandma, I brought someone for you!"

Soon the old lady came out of the room, wearing a blue shirt with plain flowers, black cloth shoes, gray hair and hairpins, looking relaxed.

After a brief introduction, the old lady smiled quite enthusiastically, "Mr. Gu, if you don't mind, I'll call you sister-in-law." Please, please, please!"

"Thank you, great-grandma, no matter what your name is." Gucci bowed slightly, half a step behind.

Several people entered the hall and took their seats. The babysitter brings tea. The old lady said first, "Xiao Gu, don't blame me for the trouble. Incense was brought to me yesterday and I smelled it. Oh, I wish I could see some experts at that time. That's why I let them run. ”

"You've won the prize. Who am I?"

"Not flattering, you can call it. Your incense is not the same as what I see. May I ask you from whom you learned your craft?"

"A family tradition I learned from my grandfather."

"Grandpa?"

The old woman was curious, and then asked, "Is this a local?"

"Well, it's not true, the Phoenix set ...... more than thirty years ago"

Wen Gu picked and chosen, and the old lady was sorry, and said, "After your grandfather settled down, I went to the provincial capital." Now that I've fallen to my roots, he's back... Alas, there was no chance to meet me!"

Great-grandma was very friendly, like chatting with the younger generation. Both have good appropriate limitations, which briefly show some of their own situation, but not too suddenly.

My sister and brother keep each other company and chat from time to time. Of course, the most important thing is to look at the attitude of grandma.

After chatting for a while, the old lady asked Gu Yun to look at her collection.

Several people walked out of the hall and into a nearby wing. He was startled when he came in. The old man really liked incense, and his eyes were full of beautiful things, full of all kinds of bracelets, Buddha statues, original wood, incense burners, incense plates, incense spoons, etc., piled up a whole room.

Wen Gu's way of burning incense is very deep, but due to economic conditions, he does not have much insight. He was also surprised at this moment.

"This is a lotus copper plate. I liked it very much at the time, but I didn't like it very much. ”

"This is Fei Xiang's bamboo incense spoon. It's a very clever design. It's also nice to make an ornament. ”

"This is a gourd and jade incense. I went to a place and bought it after seeing how unique it was. ”

He lowered his head, but it was a small gourd with only one scoop, and a circle of white jade incense stuck above and below.

"This is the incense burner of the Longquan kiln in the Song Dynasty. It took a lot of effort to find it......"

The old lady picked up a celadon incense burner. The glaze is clear, rounded, and transparent. This is obviously true. She was very fond of the incense burner and talked a little more. She smiled, "In a few days, when the weather gets hot, Shen Hui'an will cooperate." Hui'an is cool and fresh, and it is the best place to build a Longquan kiln... Oh, you're an expert, I'm still postponing this exhibition. “

"No, no, I saw it for the first time. Wen Gu said busily.

The so-called Hui'an Chen Chen refers to the aloe vera produced by Hui'an, which is bitter and cool, and has a good taste. This refreshing fragrance, combined with the cool Longquan kiln, can bring out the best in each other.

She didn't touch it, her eyes sparkled and she stared. The status of this old lady can be seen from the expression on his face. His heart told him that this young man was highly skilled at burning incense, but he was inferior to him in other ways.

She developed her life without disdain. Instead, she explained in more detail. This is especially true for a few treasures. After half a day, she led the crowd back to the main hall.

"Sister-in-law, what do you think of my collection?" asked the old lady.

"I admire your age, it's an eye-opener for me. Wen Gu said sincerely.

"Oh, I've been working these things."

Great-grandma's waist is not good. She sat down, used to leaning back. She smiled and sighed, "I've worked hard for half my life, and now I'm retiring with a hard time." Ever since you came into contact with incense, you don't have to say that you really feel that your heart is getting calmer and calmer. I have a couple of old friends who all love this now. I'll get together when I'm fine. Oh, stealing makes life easier. Now I have to pump the stove every day, otherwise I won't sleep well... Alas, I didn't read when I was young, but I was artistic when I was old, which made people laugh. ”

"Grandma, you're not a vassal and elegant, you're very elegant!Who rules that people can't burn incense when they're old?" Zeng Yuewei's mouth was a thief, and she opened her mouth.

"Well, don't talk about you. I felt a lot quieter, just because I didn't have anything to smoke. Zeng Shufei replied.

The atmosphere was pleasant for a while, but Wen Gu was the only one. There's a hint of politeness in politeness, which doesn't seem to suit me. Zeng Yuewei was about to test his standards, and she immediately said, "Mr. Gu, you really know how to burn incense." Do you have any suggestions for incense?"

"I don't have a problem with that. I am a skilled worker. He smiled.

"As soon as I heard what you said, I was humble, how could I make such a good incense, how could I ......?"

"Well, Vivien, there's nothing to discuss. ”

The old lady waved her hand to stop it, told the nurse to prepare the meal, and then said, "Sister-in-law, it is fate to meet today." You have to eat before you go. ”

"Well, thank you. ”

Duti did it. What else could he say? He had to respond.

The babysitter was extremely efficient and quickly had a table ready for dinner. I didn't add any special dishes, but I made a few dishes according to the original porridge. There is nothing to stock up on these goods, gurgling, gurgling, eating and smelling.

After dinner, the old lady unexpectedly drove the three people away, leaving only one person. The feelings of the siblings were very complicated, but they did not dare to disobey. They must leave with contact information and ideas.

Quiet room at night.

This room is next to the master bedroom. It is very classical and elegant. There is a table and a chair in the middle. There are tea sets and melons on the table. Calligraphy and painting hang on one side, incense on the other.

Wen Gu sat at the table, knowing that the other party had some personal things to say, he drank tea and waited.

Sure enough, when the old lady digested the food, she smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, leaving you behind is just talking casually." After all, it's not easy to find someone who knows how to smoke incense. Vivien asked you just now, and I think you seem to be hesitating. Can you tell me that I really want to hear your thoughts?"

"Uh... Then I would say, if not, don't laugh. ”

When asked about it again, he straightened up and thought to himself, "There are hundreds of kinds of incense, which are roughly divided into two categories, one is for play, and the other is for taking medicine. What you just said should be the scent of medicine. It is true that medicinal incense can relieve the mind and promote sleep, but I think it can only be used as an adjunct and cannot be relied on. ”

"Oh, what do you say?" on the strange other side.

"Modern people smoke incense, mostly for meditation, but meditation is a long process and cannot be achieved overnight. We have too many troubles in our lives, so we have too many distractions. If we want to meditate, we must first unblock it for ourselves.

From a certain point of view, we usually have two aspects: one is communication, and the other is doing things.

When dealing with people, one should be humble, broaden one's horizons, learn knowledge, and accumulate wisdom. Do things alone, be conscientious and responsible, keep your energy up, and experience value and fun from it.

With such an attitude towards life, you will gradually calm yourself down. It's called freshness and understanding.

As for incense, we can stay healthy and enjoy it, but we can't be superstitious. Without incense, we seemed uncomfortable. Frankly, those who are always fighting each other, those who are eager to survive, those who are sentimental and cynical ... They have so much trouble that they can be calmed down with scent? It's a little, ah..."

He said, smiling and shaking his head.

“......“

Great-grandma was surprised at first, then pondered for a moment. Now she looked at the young man with grateful eyes. In an instant, she overturned the previous impression that she was not only good at burning incense, but also virtuous.

The family knows their own business, and even though she is retired, she should not worry about which booth in the company, the change in policies, and the maintenance of a circle of friends, including the sons, grandchildren, and granddaughters of the younger generation?

In fact, she was well aware that her incense was not quiet, but avoided it. What she wanted was food.

The old lady has been through a lot and feels these words more deeply. She immediately said, "Sister-in-law, I didn't expect you to be young, but your thoughts are very transparent. What did the ancients say? Oh, when a man hears the news, he dies at night!"

Wen Gu was sweating profusely and said, "Grandma Great, please don't make fun of me." You know all these things, but you can't help it. ”

“......“

As soon as these words were spoken, the old man's heart and energy suddenly stopped.

I couldn't help but have these four words, like a knife piercing my heart. For so many years, my son didn't say it, and my grandson didn't say it, but an outsider said it.

Her heart was full of emotion, and she was speechless for a while. Wen Gu also knew that he was taking the liberty of picking up the cup a little clumsily and taking a sip.

After a while, the old lady came back to her senses and said, "Sister-in-law, you just said that there are two kinds of incense. What about the other one?"
