Bai Xiangshi Bai Shuguan is a man of the same age as Wang Zhangshi, his family is wealthy, and he was promoted when he was young, but the official road is not smooth, and he does not want to be in the same stream with those people in the officialdom, so he resigned from the official before forty and was idle at home. However, because he has always boasted of being a romantic and talented man when he was young, he has also made friends with many like-minded people who also like to play with incense and jade, and several of them are still incense masters in the Changxiang Palace, so soon after his resignation, he entered the Changxiang Palace.

Because of his identity, he also has a bit of real talent in his belly, so within a few years, Baishuguan also became the incense master of Changxiang Palace, and his life became more and more smooth, and his face became bigger and bigger day by day.

On the 15th day of July and 14th of July, the White Book House called Wang Zhangshi over and instructed: "Tomorrow is the Douxiang meeting of Kou Meilin, and I have a few close friends who will come over, and you will prepare a banquet when you arrive." ”

Wang Zhangshi said with a smile: "But Wang Zheng and Li Qi's two sons, I haven't seen the two of them for a while. ”

While checking his own incense, Baishuguan said lightly: "There is also an Lord Liu Ru, Lord Liu will be promoted to the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple next month." ”

Liu Ru and Baishuguan are classmates, and when the two were officials in the same dynasty, they had a bit of unhappiness, and later Baishuguan's resignation seemed to have something to do with this Liu Ru. Wang Zhang's affairs have heard a little about these things, so he will immediately hear the complicated meaning of Baishuguan's words, so the words in his stomach went through his mind before he said: "Lord Liu is six or seven years older than Bai Xiangshi, and he is almost sixty, and he will only rise to the fifth grade until he is at this age, and I am afraid that he will reach the top in this life." ”

Bai Shuguan glanced at Wang Zhangshi at this time, and then shook his head and smiled: "Back then, he was the most valued student by Mr., and he was in high school during the scientific examination, and his career was also smooth, and now he has risen one level before Zhishi, I don't know how proud he is." If he hears this, he will say that you don't know anything but that your eyes are red. ”

Wang Zhangshi hurriedly smiled: "I'm telling the truth, if I talk about the scenery, in my eyes, just a five-grade official, how can there be the scenery of the incense master of our Changxiang Palace." Which first- and second-grade officials in Chang'an City are not polite when they see the incense masters of the Changxiang Palace, and those royal relatives and nobles don't all want to make friends with the incense masters of our Changxiang Palace. ”

Bai Shuguan said with a smile: "Being an official is a matter of benefiting the country and the people, and it can't be compared with playing with incense." ”

Wang Zhangshi said: "Now not to mention Chang'an City, it is the entire Tang Kingdom, which household does not use incense." There are also those vassal countries, and they all admire the name of our Changxiang Palace, and in my opinion, the incense master is also for the benefit of the people. ”

Wang Zhangshi's sycophants were shot extremely well, and the mood of Baishuguan was a little better, and after checking the incense, he took a pen and wrote a menu and handed it to Wang Zhang: "These dishes, you have to watch the cook cook them yourself tomorrow." ”

"Yes." The shopkeeper Wang respectfully accepted it, and then asked, "It's just that this banquet is located here in the incense courtyard or in the Sleepy Forest?" ”

Baishuguan thought for a while, and said: "It is located in the piano pavilion of Kou Mei Lin, which is relatively close to the Dou Xiang Courtyard of Ning Mei Lin. ”

Wang Zhangshi owed: "Then I will arrange it." ”

Bai Shuguan nodded, but when Wang Zhangshi was about to turn around, he suddenly remembered something, and said, "Is there a fragrant slave named An Lan in the Yuanxiang Courtyard?" ”

Wang Zhangshi was stunned for a moment, and took a closer look at Bai Shuguan: "There is a person named An Lan, why did Bai Xiangshi suddenly ask about a fragrant slave?" ”

"Two days ago, Yang Dianshou mentioned this incense slave to me." Bai Shuguan put down the pen in his hand and asked, "Do you know how that incense slave attracted the attention of Yang Dian's attendant?" ”

Wang Zhangshi paused, and then smiled: "It's nothing, but a few days ago, there was an incense envoy in Kou Meilin who lost the incense card, and suspected that it was the incense slave from the Yuanxiang Courtyard who picked it up, so he angrily looked for it, holding a little incense slave, and happened to be seen by the Yang palace attendant who passed by." ”

Baishuguan was slightly surprised: "There are such things. ”

Wang Zhangshi explained: "It just so happened that you were not in the Xiangyuan that day, and this matter has been proven to have nothing to do with the Yuanxiangyuan, and at that time, Yang Dianshou also punished the incense envoy of Kou Meilin, and the matter passed, and nothing happened to the Xiangyuan, so I didn't tell you." ”

"I see." Bai Shuguan nodded, but then said, "I was also a Yang Dian's attendant because I took a fancy to that fragrant slave, but I haven't seen him come over to talk about this in the past two days, and I'm wondering." ”

Wang Zhangshi smiled: "Speaking of which, that little incense slave was raised by me, and it is a little special in my eyes, but I am afraid that it will not be able to enter the eyes of Yang Dianshi, and Yang Dianzhi should also mention it casually." ”

"Oh?" Bai Shuguan raised his eyebrows slightly, there was some surprise that Wang Zhangshi would do this in front of him, he knew that Wang Zhangshi was a good woman, and he also knew that Wang Zhangshi had several goddaughters in the incense courtyard. Although Changxiangdian understands the rules set and strictly prohibits **, it does not object to this confession.

Again, for Bai Shuguan, he finally needs Wang Zhangshi to do things for him, and Wang Zhang's hobby can't hurt his interests, so he has always turned a blind eye. It's just that all along, Wang Zhangshi has never been in front of him to look at which fragrant slave he wants to look at differently, and now he suddenly said this, and the implication is that he wants to accept the fragrant slave.

There are rules in the Changxiang Palace, and if there is a person in charge of the above status, if there is an incense envoy or incense slave who likes the bottom, as long as he obtains the consent of the upper peak, and the person who is favored does not object, he can officially accept him as a person around him.

This is equivalent to giving a name, and having a name is also equivalent to having a certain binding force.

For example, Wang Zhangshi is now messing around with a few goddaughters in the incense courtyard, and when he is in a good mood, he coaxes them some, and if he is in a bad mood, he can also punish and scold them at will. And when Wang Zhangshi was doing these acts, even if his goddaughters died in the hands of Wang Zhangshi, Changxiang Hall would not care.

But if there is a name, whether it is an incense envoy or a incense slave, its life and status will have a certain guarantee in the Changxiang Palace.

Wang Zhangshi continued: "It's a caring girl, it really makes me feel a little distressed, I wanted to mention this to you again after a while." But since you asked about it today, I will tell you about it by the way. ”

"It's the first time I've heard you tell me anything like this in so many years." Bai Shuguan laughed as he spoke, and then said, "It stands to reason that I shouldn't have stopped you, but that fragrant slave was mentioned to me by Yang Dianshou first, and Yang Dianshu ...... there."

Wang Zhangshi hurriedly said: "Master Bai Xiang doesn't have to be embarrassed, I have lived to this age, and I am already a person who can see everything." If Yang Dian's servant really takes a fancy to that girl, I will send her over to serve Yang Dian's servant for a while, and when Yang Dian's servant is tired, let her go back to Yuanxiangyuan. ”

Bai Shuguan was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "I really can't see it, you are actually an infatuation." ”

Wang Zhangshi bowed slightly: "I made you laugh." ”

Bai Shuguan waved his hand: "In this case, I don't want to do this thing to beat mandarin ducks, if Yang Dian's side really has this intention, I will reply to him for you, and say that the incense slave has already been decided." ”

"Thank you, Master Baixiang." Wang Zhang bowed deeply in advance, and then said, "But if Yang Dianshi really mentions this, please don't refuse Bai Xiangshi, just ask Bai Xiangshi to tell Yang Dianzhi that the Xiangnu is a person from Xiangyuan after all, and just send her back in the future." ”

If Gongzi Jingyan really fancied An Lan, then he needed An Lan to win over Yang Dianzhi, but he didn't want to let go of that little fox in vain, staring at the meat for so many years, and if he didn't take it in his mouth and taste it, he wouldn't be willing to die. Now that Bai Xiangshi brought it up, he used Bai Xiangshi's mouth to find a step for himself, so that he could sleep for the night before sending An Lan out. At that time, whether it is Yang Dianzhi or Jing Yan, there can be no dissatisfaction, and maybe there will be a little guilt for him, because he cut his love. Again, he mentioned it to Bai Xiangshi first, so even if he sent people out, he could still get it back in the end, and the little girl couldn't escape from his palm.
