Chapter 039: True or False
Lian Xi'er glanced at the incense stick in the incense burner, the last bit of red light, and it only took a moment to extinguish, so she spoke, ready to let the invigilator start to retract the scroll, but at this moment, An Lan picked up the pen. Lian Xi'er was stunned, and then looked at the incense burner, the red light at the end of the incense stick had not been extinguished, so she stopped the words that were about to be spoken, but she was a little surprised in her heart, and she couldn't hold back her curiosity.
She had seen the incense in the two lacquer plates before, but she hadn't seen any clues at first. It wasn't until she saw that An Lan hadn't started writing for a long time that she took the incense and looked at it carefully for a while, and then she understood why An Lan didn't start writing.
Wang Zhangshi is really ready to add his own people up and down the Yuanxiang Courtyard, and An Lan has not submitted to Wang Zhangshi until now. Both things surprised her very much, so Lian Xi'er stood up and walked to An Lan's side. But this will An Lan just wrote the final answer, and when she put down the pen, the last bit of red light of the incense stick was silently annihilated and turned into a wisp of green smoke.
The golden finch kept staring at An Lan's movements, and after An Lan put down the pen, she let out a soft, long breath, feeling more tired than after a day of heavy work.
Lian Xi'er picked up An Lan's exam paper, and after seeing the answers above, she was stunned again.
The incense envoy who invigilated the exam had already collected the other four exam papers and handed them to her, and after Lian Xi'er took them, she hesitated for a moment and put An Lan's exam papers at the end.
It is still marked on the spot to show fairness.
Liu Yue, the incense waiter of the white incense master, came over, Lian Xi'er hurriedly got up to give way, and Liu Yue bowed his head.
No one dared to delay, the first exam paper was Wang Hua's, and the answer was undoubtedly correct. After Lian Xi'er glanced at it, she was about to open her mouth to express her approval. But at this time, Liu Yue suddenly asked Wang Hua: "Why do you think this incense is sinking?" ”
Lian Xi'er hurriedly stopped talking. I was suddenly a little worried in my heart, Liu Yue really didn't just come over to take a look.
Wang Hua was stunned. Subconsciously looked at Lian Xi'er, he didn't recognize Liu Yue, and he didn't know what Liu Yue's identity was, so he didn't know whether he should answer or ignore it at this time.
Lian Xi'er was even more embarrassed than Wang Hua at this time, at the moment Liu Yue's meaning was what Bai Xiangshi meant, and now, Liu Yue spoke. It means that the contradiction between Bai Xiangshi and Wang Zhangshi is about to start to be put on the bright side. So at this time, no matter what she says, she will definitely offend one party.
Fortunately, at this time, Wang Zhangshi came in, and just heard Liu Yue's question.
Lian Xi'er immediately felt a kind of happiness like the aftermath of the catastrophe, and hurriedly stood up and stepped aside to avoid the situation that made her in a dilemma.
When Liu Yue saw Wang Zhangshi come in, he stood up and said, "It's a fragrant thing." Since the emphasis is on a discernment, rather than luck, what does the king think? ”
"What Liu Shixiang said is extremely true." Wang Zhangshi immediately nodded in approval, and then turned to Wang Huadao. "Then tell me, why do you think this incense is watery?"
After seeing Wang Zhang, Wang Hua made up his mind. Respectfully bowed and thought about it. Cai said: "First, the surface of this incense is rotten wood. But the quality is hard and heavy; Second, this incense is dark and heavy, but there are no oil stains on the touch; Third, before this incense is burned, it already has a fragrance, and the aroma is like a thread. Based on these three points, the students judged that the incense was water-sink. ”
Wang Zhangshi nodded with satisfaction, and looked at Liu Yue, but Liu Yue didn't look at him, but continued to ask: "Then why aren't the other two water sinking?" The same is that the surface is irregular, oily, dark brown, and smelly. ”
Wang Hua was stunned for a moment, and was a little stunned, this uncle had not talked to him in detail before.
Wang Zhangshi frowned slightly, Wang Hua was even more nervous, but he couldn't wait for Wang Zhangshi to relieve him for a long time, so he had to stammer: "Because, because the surface of the other two incense products is irregular, it is not, there is no sense of rotten wood, there is oil, but it is only a little, and the fragrance is not obvious, so it is not water sinking." ”
This answer cannot be said to be wrong, but it is very general, and it is just a reversal of the standard answer he said at the beginning.
Wang Zhangshi nodded slightly: "It's rare to know so much at such an age, what does Liu Shixiang think?" ”
Liu Yue was silent for a moment, nodded lightly, and Lian Xi'er breathed a sigh of relief.
So, Wang Huashun lì through guò to distinguish incense test.
Next is Lychee's answer, she is blind, but her luck is obviously not good, she can't get the opportunity of thirty percent, and in the face of questions, she also doesn't know three questions, and she thinks that she has no guò.
Then, it's the cinnamon branch.
Her answer was the same as Wang Hua's, and she wrote down Wang Hua's answer just now. Therefore, in the face of Liu Yue's question, she more or less coped with it, so when Lian Xi'er said that she had passed the exam, Wang Zhangshi couldn't help but look her up and down. Gui Zhi's face was happy, his heart was jumping, and he unconsciously bowed to the king, and then turned around and stepped aside.
Wang Zhangshi squinted slightly, this woman was born plump, her waist was still thin, and she always twisted unconsciously when she walked, as if she was deliberately seducing people. He really hadn't looked for her for a while, and he didn't want to leave the position of the incense envoy to her, but he didn't think that she would have such luck. Wang Zhangshi thought about it, and felt that the position of this incense envoy was handed over to Guizhi, and it was not indispensable, and it was his person after all.
After the cinnamon branch, there is the goldfinch.
Like Lychee, the goldfinch didn't get the thirty percent chance, and she was also happy, directly saying that she didn't know anything about it, and then took the initiative to step aside.
In the end, it was An Lan's turn.
Hearing Lian Xi'er read An Lan's name, Wang Zhangshi withdrew his gaze from Gui Zhi and looked at An Lan, showing a little pity in his eyes, and then shook his head in his heart. This girl, if he is willing to listen to him, how can he leave the position of this incense envoy to others.
It's just that he waited for a while, but he didn't wait for Lian Xi'er to say An Lan's answer.
And when he turned his face puzzled, Liu Yue had already taken An Lan's answer sheet from Lian Xi'er's hand, and after reading it, he said: "Interesting!" ”
Wang Zhangshi was surprised, and couldn't help frowning, so he took the answer sheet from Liu Yue's hand, looked at it, and then his face also showed surprise.
In the third incense, the surface of the incense sinks about an inch with water attached to it, and it is soaked in warm water to separate it.
This is what An Lan finally decided to write after thinking about it. The reason why she hesitated for so long just now was not because she didn't know how to solve this problem, but because she understood that with Liu Yue present, while she wrote down the answer, it was equivalent to clearly pointing out the selfishness of Wang Zhangshi in front of Liu Yue.
Sure enough, after Wang Zhangshi was surprised, his face immediately sank, and his eyes looked at An Lan a little more gloomy.
Liu Yue took the piece of incense and looked at it carefully, then looked An Lan up and down several times, and asked, "This shoddy technology can be described as seamless, how can you see it?" ”
An Lan hesitated for a while before saying, "Because I feel that the fragrance is slightly mixed." ”
Liu Yue was stunned, so he took the piece of incense to his nose and smelled it carefully, but he could only smell the warm and mellow fragrance of water. White wood is unscented when it is not burned, so it is impossible for the two scents to mix together, which is why such shoddy incense products can often be hidden.
Liu Yue obviously didn't believe An Lan's words, and looked at An Lan pondering, because she was right, so she casually found an explanation? (To be continued......)
