The county lord of Danyang didn't try to convince Zhen Yuxiu, but just smiled understandingly, and then said, "I'll go and ask her a few words." ”

Zhen Yuxiu's meaning could not influence the decision of the county lord of Danyang, but the county lord of Danyang was very empathetic and gave Zhen Yuxiu a step down. She still had to go over to say hello to An Lan, but the words were replaced by asking a few words, so that Zhen Yuxiu would not go with her, and she would not be embarrassed, and everyone looked good.

Zhen Yuxiu was stunned, Danyang had already turned around, Zhen Yuxiu looked at An Lan, frowned slightly, and followed her into the painting to look at her master, and whispered: "Mo is not the one, what's the origin?" ”

"What can it be!" Zhen Yuxiu came back to her senses and snorted coldly, "There are a lot of people here today, and she is not the only one who has the incense envoy of the Changxiang Palace. ”

He smiled wryly: "The county lord of Danyang is too good." ”

"To please such a small incense envoy, in the end is a loss of identity." After Zhen Yuxiu saw the county lord of Danyang passing, she talked and laughed with An Lan, and her heart became more and more uncomfortable, and she mocked, "That person named An Lan really doesn't know how to measure, no matter how approachable the county lord is, that is also the county lord, she is good, the county lord just treats her a little bit kindly, and she really treats herself as a character." ”

Entering the painting, he echoed: "No, I don't know how she got into the list of the Jinxiang Society, the slave maid heard that the incense courtyards below the Changxiang Palace, there are always some Qiao-like incense slaves or something, and they have been thinking about how to play some improper means to get to the top all day long, if you really let this kind of person mix into the Jinxiang Society, it will really ruin this Jinxiang Society, if it spreads out in the future." I'm afraid it will affect others. ”

Zhen Yuxiu looked at An Lan's smiling face all the time. It's getting more and more of an eyesore. He frowned and said, "There will really be such black sheep everywhere!" ”

He glanced at Zhen Yuxiu carefully, and then looked at An Lan, his eyes rolled a few times. It's just that at this moment, the last few selected people also came over, because these people have good identities, so as soon as they came, they attracted everyone's attention.

An Lan also glanced there, she didn't know those people. But just from the clothes of those people, it can be seen that they are either relatives of the emperor or children of a big family.

The county lord of Danyang also glanced there, then smiled, and whispered to An Lan: "The one wearing the stone blue robe is the fourth young master of the Fang family, called Fang Yuhui, and the girl who followed him is his sister, called Fang Yuxin, and the other one, I don't recognize." ”

"Fang family?" Hear this surname. A thought suddenly flashed through An Lan's mind.

The county lord of Danyang glanced at her: "That's right, it's that party." ”

An Lan's eyes were slightly surprised. The golden finch stood beside her, and since she didn't miss every word that the county lord of Danyang said, she said, "Are they of the same clan as Master Fang Daxiang?" ”

She remembered that the great incense master of the Shaking Light Hall seemed to be surnamed Fang.

The county lord of Danyang smiled, did not deny it, and naturally affirmed this.

The golden finch was very surprised and opened her mouth, but An Lan gave her a look and asked her not to say more.

The county lord of Danyang sighed lightly: "This time in the Jinxiang Meeting, there are more people who are interested in the Fang family. ”

When the golden finch heard this, he secretly rolled his eyes, and slandered in his heart, aren't you one of them.

As soon as he spoke, Fang Yuxin saw the county lord of Danyang, so he turned his head and whispered to his brother, and then the three of them came over to An Lan. Zhen Yuxiu over there saw this scene, her face was slightly gloomy, she and Fang Yuxin also knew each other, it should have belonged to her liveliness, but now they have all moved to the little incense envoy.

She participated in this Jinxiang Meeting, not to seize the only place, but to make more friends with the children of the family and get closer to the Lord of Danyang. But now, this is just the beginning, and things are completely contrary to her expectations.

After a few glances at his master, he said cautiously: "Last month, the girl in front of me replied to the girl, and sent a few novel gadgets with the letter, and the girl also said that she wanted to thank Miss Fang in person, and it happened that Miss Fang also came, and the county lord of Danyang was also there, wouldn't it be good for the girl to go over and say a word." ”

"Let me go over to that little incense envoy!" Zhen Yuxiu raised her eyebrows, she had already hesitated in her heart, but her brows were wrinkled even tighter.

Into the painting then smiled: "With her like that? How can that be considered her place, this is Kou Meilin, a person of the girl's status is a distinguished guest when she enters Kou Meilin, and she is just a person who serves the girl. Now the girl used to talk to Miss Fang and the county lord of Danyang, what does it have to do with the little incense envoy. ”

Zhen Yuxiu glanced at the painting, snorted from her nose with some approval, and walked there, following closely in the painting. It was a coincidence at this time, Fang Yuhui and Fang Yuxin and another teenager had just exchanged a few words with the lord of Danyang County, and when Danyang County mainly introduced An Lan to them, Zhen Yuxiu came over.

Zhen Yuxiu and Fang Yuxin are handkerchiefs, and this meeting is naturally to say a few words first. Then Fang Yuxin turned his face and asked about several elders of the Cui family, so the county lord of Danyang couldn't take care of An Lan for a while, so the few people who were obviously standing together obviously saw that An Lan was left out in the cold.

An Lan didn't care about this, she was originally from a fragrant slave, and such a snub was not painful for her at all, not to mention that what she cared more about at this time was what kind of incense burner they had brought over. After a closer look, she found that everyone was like her, and the incense burner had been brought, but either in a package or in a box, she could at most see the size and general shape.

How will it be compared? Before she could think about it, the person who presided over this round of Jinxiang Meeting in the Tianshu Hall came over, and the host was Chi Shao, and the people who entered the Qutai Garden with Chi Shao were more than a dozen guests who were richly dressed and had extraordinary temperament. An Lan looked among the guests, but she didn't find Bai Guanghan's figure, nor did she see Jing Yan, she was stunned, and suddenly she couldn't tell what she felt in her heart.

Qutaiyuan is a place dedicated to enjoying optimistic dances, with exquisite galleries on both sides and a large open space in between. Before An Lan and the others came into Qutai Garden, a table had been set up in the corridor, and there were some delicate melons, fruits and snacks on the table, and after Chi Shao led those guests in, he invited them to take a seat.

An Lan glanced there a few more times, and found that many of those guests were bowing their heads to some people on their side with smiles on their faces, and then whispered to the people next to them, and at the same time gestured to this side.

The goldfinch whispered, "It seems to be here to cheer some people." ”

An Lan was silent, faintly uneasy in her heart, she intuitively felt that these guests were not just the audience.

Sure enough, but after Chi Shao explained the rules of this round, among the thirty-two people who were selected for the Jinxiang Club, the faces of a small number of people immediately changed. The golden finch was even more surprised, and almost screamed, but after it was easy to hold back, he still whispered angrily: "How can this be, if it is such a rule, what kind of Jinxiang will be!" ”

The rule of Chi Peony is that the selected people bring their own incense burners, and the Tianshu Hall prepares incense products for them, such as corded incense, plate incense, cone incense, incense cake, and incense powder, and the recipes of these incense products are the same. The selected ones come forward to pick the incense they need, and then burn them with their own incense burners, and finally, the sixteen guests who come to pick them, and those who are selected can be promoted.

Such a rule basically does not intend to select people who have a true understanding of incense among the thirty-two who were not selected. The sixteen guests have almost made it clear who they are coming for, and the ending of this round of Jinxiang will have been set before it has even begun.

And An Lan's last bit of luck in her heart disappeared completely at the moment when everyone took out the incense burner they had prepared.

She chose a ceramic stove, and the style was naturally generous and elegant, but among the thirty-two people, at least ten of them were like her, and they all chose the stove, and there were seven or eight of them, and even the style and color of the ceramics were similar to the incense burner she chose.

In the corridor, she didn't know any of the sixteen guests, and no one set their eyes on her.

And here, among the thirty-two inductees, seven or eight will use incense and incense burners, all of which are exactly the same as her.

Such rules almost completely limit their abilities, and the so-called competition is meaningless.

Not only her, but even the seven or eight selected candidates were also aware of the same problems as her, so their faces changed one by one.

"This is the rule set by the Heavenly Pivot Palace?" Someone finally couldn't help but ask.

Chi Shao glanced at the man and said coldly, "That's right. ”

It was quiet, and everyone was a little surprised, so no one spoke again for a while. After a while, some people rejoiced, some people were disappointed, and some people had given up, and many people knew in their hearts that this was not their battlefield in the first place. It was not up to them to decide who would play, but to the sixteen distinguished guests in the gallery.

And just when they were cold, the incense slaves and waiters of Kou Meilin brought eight long tables here, each table was four people, and each person chose his own position.

Faced with such a situation, the golden finch no longer knows how to solve it, the thing is so sudden, so absolute, it makes you feel that you can't do anything with nothing.

Why is this happening, the golden finch can't understand, and An Lan can't understand either.

Is it really what Bai Guanghan meant by the Great Incense Master?

The county lord of Danyang glanced at An Lan, hesitated for a moment, and finally didn't say anything. Zhen Yuxiu hooked the corners of her mouth slightly, glanced at An Lan with some mockery, and recognized the rules set by the Tianshu Palace in her heart, how could anyone who wanted to enter the incense hall of the Great Incense Master.

She was also very proud to enter the painting, and that day in Jingfu, because the golden finch and An Lan choked her a few words, she always remembered it in her heart. So he took advantage of the time when the waiter of Kou Meilin set up the long table, walked up to An Lan, and said with a smile: "An Xiang makes the long ......."

An Lan lowered her eyes, held the incense burner in her hand and turned sideways to let go of the waiter who arranged the table, but happened to run into the painting. He was about to avoid the painting, but at this moment, An Lan's hand was released, and the incense burner fell to the ground. Where she stood, there were many pebbles, and the incense burner happened to hit one of the pebbles, that is, a big hole was knocked.

The goldfinch screamed, and was stunned when he entered the painting, everyone looked at them one after another, and the goldfinch felt aggrieved for An Lan, so he couldn't help it anymore, and pointed to the painting: "Why do you want to come over and hit An Lan, what do you want to do!" ”

Immediately a little stunned when he entered the painting, he hurriedly said: "I, I don't have ......" (to be continued......
