Chapter 381: Luck

When An Lan retreated behind the screen, she turned her head to look at Liu Xuanji, and there was a faint worry in her eyes, why didn't she see the figure of the golden finch? Today's banquet, the Golden Finch is unlikely to miss it, and Mr. Liu also knows her friendship with the Golden Finch, and there is no reason not to let the Golden Bird come with him, is it ...... What's wrong?

After An Lan sat down behind the screen, the more she thought about it, the more relieved she became, and when the maid next to her handed her tea, she whispered an order. The maid took the words and withdrew, and after a while, Lan Indigo came over: "Girl? ”

An Lan said: "You go to Mr. Liu's to help me ask, why didn't you see the golden finch come over tonight?" ”

Lan Indigo nodded slightly, and was about to go out, but An Lan stopped her again and asked in a low voice: "The wind in the hall just now, did Mr. tell you to do it?" ”

"Yes." Lan Indigo responded, and saw that An Lan had nothing else to say, so she withdrew.

Although outsiders don't know Lan Indigo's identity, these people in high positions in the Changxiang Hall already know that now that the newly appointed head of the Frontal Punishment Court has been arranged by Bai Guanghan to follow An Lan for a period of time, so now that they see An Lan can support Lan Indigo at will, they all have vigilance and even a sense of crisis in their hearts. And this feeling, in fact, not only Fang Yuhui and them have, but also a few other great incense masters have a little bit in their hearts.

Even if each incense hall has an extraordinary attendant, the power of the criminal court has been accumulated over the years, and it should not be underestimated. Previously, because of Fang Wenjian's impulsiveness, Bai Guanghan was given the opportunity to almost clean up the hidden piles in the criminal court, and the rest of them did not dare to act rashly now, which is equivalent to breaking off contact.

Fang Yuhui snorted coldly: "An Shixiang is really a big face. ”

An Lan just glanced at him. Didn't speak. Xie Lanhe turned his face to her, then looked at Fang Yuhui's arrogant expression, remembered what Xie Yun said to him, and then thought about his mother's earnest eyes, and closed his eyes after a while. The county lord of Danyang also glanced at An Lan, she knew that there should be the first edition of "Hundred Fragrance Spectrum" in the library of Tianshu Palace, but she didn't expect that An Lan had also read it. That version, in fact, only has the value of the collection today, but. She didn't just look over. I also memorized it throughout. The county lord of Danyang retracted his gaze and lowered his eyes slightly, with such a steady attitude...... It's really strong.

After a few moments, Lan Indigo walked back to An Lan. He whispered, "Miss Goldfinch has gone to see Granny An." It should be over in a moment. ”

An Lan asked, "What did Mr. Liu say?" ”

Lan Indigo nodded: "The subordinate originally asked the maid beside Mr. Liu." But the maid didn't know, so she went to ask Mr. Liu. ”

An Lan was stunned, I don't know why. There is always a faint worry in my heart. It stands to reason that it is not strange for the Golden Bird to go to see Granny An at this time, it just so happens that Cui Wenjun is not there, and it is more convenient for the Golden Bird to go in, but ...... After pondering for a moment, An Lan then ordered: "You find two clever people to go to the Yuheng Hall to have a look, don't use the name of the torture court, quietly." ”

Lan Indigo nodded, but before she walked out of the nine-storied pagoda, Bai Guanghan's side of Yi Dian's attendant followed, and when he passed by her, he lowered his voice and said in a volume that was almost only heard by the two of them: "Mr. explains, don't disturb Miss An Lan about anything, let him happen what should happen." ”

Lan Indigo lowered his face slightly, and then left quietly.

The night wind was blowing more and more tightly, and although the attendants waiting outside had put on cotton robes, they were still shivering from the cold. Yi Dian's attendant stood at the door, waiting for the attendant to bring the dipterocarp tea specially ordered by Bai Guanghan, his eyes inadvertently swept over a few dark corners nearby, and then swept over a few inconspicuous attendants, and then took the fragrant tea that was hurriedly sent, turned around and re-entered the nine-storied pagoda.

……

At the beginning of the second assessment, An Lan saw Lan Indigo come back, and bowed slightly to her, telling her that she had arranged everything, An Lan was slightly relieved, sighed softly, and then stood up, walked out of the screen and sat down again.

Five of the eight were left, and five more good-looking maids came in from outside, but this time they did not come to them, but stood at a distance of about two feet from them.

Liu Xuanji raised her eyebrows slightly: "What kind of moth is this going to play?" ”

Cui Wenjun is becoming more and more absent-minded, she knows that Anqiu will most likely show up tonight, but it has been now, she still hasn't seen him, she even has the urge to go out to look for it, but she is worried that as soon as she goes out, maybe that person will come in.

Jingchen just glanced at the maids lightly, then withdrew his gaze and looked deeper into the other side of the hall. In that direction, it led to other rooms, which were usually empty, but just now, he suddenly noticed some movement there. During the time that Bai Guanghan was not in the Tianshu Palace, in addition to taking care of the Tianshu Palace, he had also been paying attention to the movements of several other incense halls. He vaguely knew that Fang Wenjian and Bai Liling had specially prepared some things, and he was worried that those things were probably prepared for tonight.

However, with so many distinguished guests here tonight, they will really ......

When Jingchen was worried, Baili Ling had already bowed slightly to the maid in charge, and the maid stood up and said the title and rules of the second scene.

The second scene is to guess the incense: the five maids in front of them, each wearing a sachet, the sachet contains a single incense, and there is also a combination of incense. The participants in the assessment will draw lots first, and one of the maids will be selected in the order of the lottery, and guess what kind of incense is in the sachet on her body. If it is a single incense, you only need to say its fragrance name, and if it is a fragrance, you need to write down what ingredients are in this incense. None of them could leave their seats, and the maids would not come near them, let alone give them sachets to sniff. When the assessment begins, the five maids will walk in a row from the front of them, and only once.

When the guests heard this rule, they all showed surprise and excitement in their eyes.

In fact, if the taste of the sachet is not too light, a distance of one zhang, as long as it is not a headwind, most people can smell the fragrance, if it is a familiar fragrance, then it is easy to say the name of the fragrance. However, at this time, there were five maids walking in a row at the same time, and the distance between each two of them was less than three feet, and they were wearing different sachets, which was easy to smell. And the examiners must not only distinguish what is in each sachet, but also correspond to the maid who wears it.

In this comparison, many guests felt that the first scene just now was really much simpler.

"It's too difficult, even a dog, you have to get in and smell it." One of the guests whispered to the person next to him.

"It's not difficult to show the nobility of the Changxiang Palace."

"That's right, although we can't do it, but this should be a breeze for the great incense masters."

"Naturally, that's the case, but those are still half-grown children, but I don't know if they have such skills."

"Yes, but it also depends on the luck of the draw, and the first place should be the best guess. Those five sachets, there is always a single piece of fragrance. When the maids came in just now, I happened to smell ambergris, but I didn't notice who it was. ”

"Well, I don't know who has this luck."

Obviously, tonight's luck was not on An Lan's side, and she was the last one drawn. (To be continued......)
