Chapter 103: Cellar Incense
When Chi Shao was instructing the maids to do today's errand, he inadvertently raised his head, and looked at the faint light of the sky, the eaves of the Tianshu Hall lying on the strange beasts were like the hands of the gods to draw the heaviest strokes, and the towering and lofty palace was full of flamboyant momentum, and the gorgeous lines were like the silhouette of the Heavenly Palace.
She believed that everyone who came up to the Changxiang Hall would be shocked when they looked up and saw this scene at this time.
The shock was not because of those towering temples and huge cornices, but because of the person standing at the highest point of the temple at this time.
At the highest point, the natural wind is at its highest.
He clasped his hands in front of his chest, leaning his body on the stone pillar of the terrace somewhat casually, letting the cold wind lift his long hair and robe, she could not see the expression on his face clearly, only the perfect lines of his side face, and the traces of the wind in his long flying hair.
When did the Great Incense Master get up? Genius is slightly bright!
Chi Shao was a little surprised, and what Bai Guanghan Great Incense Master was looking at at this time was the direction of the incense room.
I didn't dare to think about it, so she explained a few words to the side and walked up quickly.
After going up to the terrace, she still didn't dare to get too close, and when she was about half a foot away, she stopped, lowered her face and told everything she had seen last night.
After Bai Guanghan listened, he didn't say anything, and still looked in that direction.
Chi Shao waited for a while, and when he saw that there was no other command, he gently retreated again.
What's so special about that girl? Why is it so valued by the great incense master?
After Chi Shao walked away, he couldn't help but raise his face and look back at Bai Guanghan, but at this time, the morning sun had appeared, and he happened to be bathed in the first glow that broke through the clouds. The wind has not stopped. So that moment. He looks like he's going to turn into a flying immortal and leave!
……
"Young Master Xie, you can rest for a while, it's just about to be printed into a mold." An Lan raised her hand and brushed the hair that hung down casually, and continued, "Although your fever has subsided, your body is not completely well, so you should rest more." ”
It was almost noon, but they hadn't really rested. In the past half a day, the two of them have almost persevered. Even when they had breakfast, they stuffed it into their mouths and sorted out the incense products they were going to use.
Xie Lanhe was wiping the porcelain altar used for cellar incense, and when he heard this, he raised his eyes and looked at An Lan, and then said, "You are a girl's family, you don't stop, I will rest anything." ”
"I've been used to this kind of work since I was a child, and it's not uncommon to stay up for a night or two." An Lan said and looked at Xie Lanhe again. looked at his hands that looked whiter than himself, and whispered. "Young Master Xie shouldn't have done this kind of work, if you hold it up, your body will not be able to bear it."
Xie Lanhe glanced at her again, and had to admit that she was a very good-looking girl. Bold and careful, not pretentious, often silent, but not dull, scheming, but sincere.
After Xie Lanhe wiped the jar clean, he pushed it on the table, and then smiled a little self-deprecatingly: "Miss An Lan doesn't think that I obviously have a shortcut but don't take it, but I ask for trouble with this." ”
An Lan was stunned and raised her eyes: "I never thought about it like this." ”
Xie Lanhe lowered his eyes and looked at his hands: "Compared to Miss An Lan, I should indeed feel ashamed." ”
An Lan's movements in his hand stopped, and he looked at him with some surprise.
After a while, Xie Lanhe raised his eyes and smiled faintly, Junxiu's face was a little pale, but there was brilliance and hope in his eyes: "Quickly print the mold, so you can just wait to get out of the cellar." ”
After a quarter of an hour, they put the new incense in a delicate mold into the jar, sealed the mouth with wax paper, and took it to a quiet room dedicated to the storage of incense, and placed it in the underground cellar.
After coming out of the quiet room, An Lan and Xie Lanhe both breathed a long sigh of relief, and then looked at each other and smiled.
It's just that after laughing, both of them remembered that the condition announced by Chi Shao that day, and in the end, only one of them could stay. Ask yourself, neither of them dares to say that they are better than each other.
"Go back and get some rest." After a short silence, Xie Lanhe said softly.
An Lan nodded, and then went to Lianyue with him to thank him, and then left here together.
The male and female rooms are separated, one in the east and one in the west.
When they walked back, Xie Lanhe took a few steps, then stopped, turned around and said, "Miss An Lan." ”
An Lan turned around, the sun was just right at this time, but shining on her face, it made her face look a little white and transparent.
Xie Lanhe looked at her silently for a long time before he spoke: "Don't hold grudges against each other." ”
An Lan was stunned for a moment, and then nodded seriously.
Xie Lanhe said again: "No matter what the result is, as long as you and I take this path in the future, we will ...... Just talk a lot, okay? ”
This time, An Lan was silent for a long time, and Xie Lanhe's lips were tightly pursed, inexplicably a little nervous.
She is him, the first person who supports each other in the real sense of the word, for the same goal, and the two are also opponents, so it is even more rare. Although she is a woman, she still shows her loyalty and courage, if she is a man, he will definitely pull her to worship her brother, and even if he does not worship, he will recognize such a person as a brother.
But she is a girl's family, he feels deeply sorry, but he is unwilling to say goodbye like this, and he is not willing to wait until the result comes, the two of them resented each other in their hearts and secretly sighed for injustice.
An Lan was silent because, if she loses the election, I am afraid that it will be difficult to take this path.
Although the incense envoy also deals with incense, although he also needs to be able to match incense, it is completely different from the path taken by the incense masters. The incense envoy is in charge, and it is possible to enter the incense hall and become a palace attendant, or even the head of the temple. One is proficient in the way of incense, and the other is proficient in mundane affairs.
Xie Lanhe didn't know this, even if he was somewhat similar to her in some aspects, he was a very well protected teenager after all. From the moment he was named by the Great Incense Master and taken back to Xie Mansion, even if he couldn't fully adapt psychologically, his identity and status had indeed changed greatly.
Even if he can't be elected to the incense hall, with Xie Fu's ability, it must not be difficult for him to take the path of the incense master. She is different, if she wants to follow the path of the incense master, she has only this choice.
It's just that it was the first time that someone expressed such a wish to her, so after a moment of silence, An Lan still nodded and showed a pure smile in the sun: "Okay." ”
Xie Lanhe was slightly stunned, and then his heart was relieved, and he also laughed.
Under the sun, the boys and girls who still have nothing look at each other and smile, and complete their lifelong vows in ignorance.
Such a moment is beautiful to look back on in the future.
……
When An Lan went back, it happened that the county lord of Danyang and the others came back from lunch, and the three of them were stunned after looking at her.
Fang Yuxin spoke first: "Miss Anlan, have you already closed the incense?" ”
An Lan nodded, sat down on the bed, her body touched the soft bedding, and the fatigue of being forced for a day and a night suddenly came up, so she said a little weakly: "It's rude, I'll rest for a while." ”
Seeing that she was about to lie down, Fang Yuxin hurriedly chased after her and asked, "Brother Changliu is also going back?" ”
"Well, if Miss Fang is looking for Young Master Xie, let's wait for tomorrow." An Lan yawned as she spoke, took off her shoes, and then went to bed and lifted the quilt and lay down.
Fang Yuxin saw that An Lan was tired like this, and when she thought of Xie Lanhe, she couldn't help but feel distressed, but now she was embarrassed and immediately turned around to find her brother.
Zhen Yuxiu glanced at An Lan and snorted with some disdain: "Sloppy, it's really unlucky!" ”
The county lord of Danyang frowned slightly and glanced at her: "Miss An Lan has already rested, so she doesn't talk much in the house." ”
Zhen Yuxiu frowned slightly, but she didn't dare to refute the words of the county lord of Danyang, so she had to silently turn around and walk to her bed and sit down. The county lord of Danyang and Fang Yuxin also found their own places to sit down, Fang Yuxin was still in a daze, and the county lord of Danyang took out a book he brought over and flipped it gently.
After a while, Zhen Yuxiu felt that she couldn't sit still, so she quietly pulled Fang Yuxin and asked her if she wanted to go out for a walk.
Fang Yuxin hesitated for a moment before standing up, and then looked at the county lord of Danyang inquiringly, the county lord of Danyang just shook his head, so Fang Yuxin went out with Zhen Yuxiu.
After the two walked around the guest room, Fang Yuxin said that she was going to change her clothes, Zhen Yuxiu only thought that she was looking for an excuse to see Xie Lanhe, and she didn't break it, and said with an understanding face: "Then I'll go back first, I'm tired after walking for a while." ”
After taking Zhen Yuxiu away, Fang Yuxin did not go to Xie Lanhe, but walked to the quiet room where the incense was stored.
Ten days of cellar time, among them, people who are allowed to come and check the cellar fragrance from time to time.
Therefore, after Fang Yuxin came over, he went in very smoothly. (To be continued......)
