Chapter 098: Conditions
In the main hall of the Tibetan incense building of Tianshu Palace, there is a picture of lotus Bodhisattva smelling incense, the painting is very large, the Bodhisattva on the painting is in staggering clothes, the demeanor is leisurely, the lotus flower under the seat is like jade, and the cigarette smoke is like a cloud. Everyone who enters the Tibetan Incense Building sees the painting first, and then looks at the person in charge of the Tibetan Incense Building, who is sitting under the painting.
The head of the Tibetan incense building is a man in his thirties, the heavenly court is full, the jaw is round, the face is like powder, the eyebrows and eyes are slender, and it looks like the Bodhisattva in the painting is three points similar.
Lianyue looked at An Lan and Xie Lanhe back and forth for a while, and then asked the waiter beside her to take the incense list handed over by Xie Lanhe, and then lowered her eyes leisurely, swept it intently, and then laughed twice with "hehe".
The laughter seemed to be a little surprised, a little disdainful, and maybe a little mocking. Xie Lanhe and An Lan were a little apprehensive in their hearts, the two of them quietly glanced at each other, and they both saw worry in each other's eyes, whether they would think about this matter too simply. Although Chi Peony said that the incense products were provided by the Tianshu Palace, they wanted so many precious incense products at once, and when they thought about it, they still felt a little weak in their hearts. Maybe in the eyes of others, they are taking advantage of the opportunity, in the end, those incense products are what they can't afford to consume on weekdays, so both of them have a few twists in their hearts, and their faces begin to heat slightly.
Lianyue first read out the names of the incense products on the list one by one, and each time she recited the name of the incense products, Xie Lanhe and An Lan felt a little more uncomfortable. Finally waited for Lianyue to finish reading, and the two of them didn't have time to breathe a sigh of relief, but Lianyue continued: "Shen Tan Dragon Musk." At once, it accounted for three things. And it's all sacred. Hmm-"
An Lan lowered her eyes, her heart sank, Xie Lanhe was ready to listen to Lianyue say that there was no such thing as incense in the incense building, but he didn't want to, after Lianyue dragged out a "um" ending, she smiled again, and then raised her eyes to look at them, and said with a kind face: "Although they are all extremely rare and precious incense products." But it's nothing to the Heavenly Pivot Palace, how much you want. ”
Xie Lanhe and An Lan were both stunned, both of them raised their eyes in a bit of a daze, Lianyue had already ordered the incense slave next to her to fetch incense.
The waiting time was actually not long, but for An Lan and Xie Lanhe, even if it was just a breath and a breath at this time, it seemed extremely long. Lianyue looked at the two of them with a smile, the two of them stood together like this, looking at the golden boy and girl in the painting, which made people feel comfortable looking at it. So Lianyue invited them to sit. An Lan and Xie Lanhe thanked them politely, and then said that they were standing up.
Lian Yue stopped her gaze on Xie Lanhe: "How is Master Xie Yun?" ”
Xie Lanhe raised his eyes. Then he lowered his eyes and hid the look in his eyes: "The junior saw Master Xie Daxiang two months ago, and he is still outstanding. ”
Lianyue looked at him and said, "Two months ago? So, before Young Master Xie entered the Jin Xiang Society, he didn't visit Master Xie Yun? ”
Xie Lanhe still lowered his eyes: "The great incense master likes to be pure, and the younger generation does not dare to disturb without permission." ”
Lianyue laughed again "hehehe", his laughter was very special, it was a very clear "hehe" sound, and when he laughed, his round face was polite, but An Lan's heart jumped for no reason.
At this moment, the incense slaves they asked for were brought out in a tortoiseshell patch black lacquer tray and gently rested on the table next to Lianyue. Lianyue opened the incense in the tray one by one, and after checking it herself, she asked An Lan and Xie Lanhe to come over to see if they liked it.
How could they not like it, if the incense products in the Tianshu Hall were not liked, the entire Tang Kingdom would probably not be able to find the incense products that they liked.
After the two of them saw it, they even showed a little panic on their faces, and then looked at Lianyue deeply at the same time.
Lian Yuexu helped them: "Since Young Master Xie and Miss An Lan are satisfied, then please put a handprint on this, and then these incense products can be taken away." ”
Lianyue said, and handed them a piece of sprinkling gold honey incense paper that had been written full of words with a smile, Xie Lanhe took the honey incense paper in confusion, but after reading the content on the paper, he raised his eyes in disbelief: "This is-"
Lianyue still has that kind look: "Don't worry, it's okay to pay off after this round of Jinxiang will end." ”
Xie Lanhe's hand stiffened slightly, An Lan took the piece of paper in his hand and looked at it, he was also surprised, but at the same time, he felt a little clear in his heart. Yes, she knew how things could be so smooth, too smooth, and it would make her even more uneasy. Over the years, she has become accustomed to the fact that if she wants to get some, she must give some, and she is not reluctant, but she will not necessarily get something if she gives up.
It's just that the things they want are too expensive, ten times the value of the incense they want. She is just a small incense envoy, and it is impossible for her to pay this account, as for Xie Lanhe, she turned her head to look at it when she thought about it, but after looking at Xie Lanhe's expression at this time, she knew that Xie Lanhe could not afford to pay it.
After a long time, Xie Lanhe spoke: "Red Peony Serving Incense said that the incense we need will be provided by the Tianshu Palace." ”
"That's right, the incense you need is indeed provided by the Tibetan Incense Building of the Tianshu Palace." Lianyue gently stroked the incense sheng as she spoke, and continued slowly, "But from the beginning of the construction of the Tibetan Incense Building, a rule has been set that no one can take anything from the Tibetan Incense Building for free, even if it is just a wisp of cigarettes, except for the Great Incense Master and the person personally designated by the Great Incense Master. ”
Xie Lanhe's breathing was a little heavy, and he lowered his eyelids to hide the anger in his eyes.
Lianyue also wanted some scarce and precious incense products, even more scarce and difficult to find than the incense products he listed, so it was even more expensive. Therefore, it is impossible for him to afford it, he is now just an empty surname of the Xie family. He had nothing but this surname, and even what he originally had was deprived.
Perhaps, after he won this Jinxiang meeting, he would go back and beg Xie Liuye, and Xie Liuye would pay the account for him.
But could he go and beg the man? Can he go and beg the people of the Xie family? He can kneel and kowtow to anyone, and he is unwilling to bow his head to the Xie family, especially Sixth Master Xie, his biological father, even if he bows his head slightly.
Xie Lanhe's expression was already obvious, Lianyue was not annoyed, she still smiled kindly, and kindly reminded: "There is no shortage of these things in the Tibetan Incense Building of Master Xie Yun, since Young Master Xie has not seen Master Xie Yun for two months, and now that he has arrived in the Changxiang Palace, he should pay a visit." I heard that Master Xie Yun has been in the Changxiang Hall in the past few days, and Young Master Xie has looked at the sky, and most of them can see each other. ”
Xie Lanhe's face was a little ugly, and he didn't speak for a long time, An Lan glanced at him twice, and saw that although he lowered his head and lowered his eyes, the embarrassment on his face was still so obvious that it was so obvious that people couldn't even bear to look at it anymore.
An Lan quietly retracted her gaze, pondered for a while, then raised her face, leaned over and asked, "May I ask Lianyue in charge, do you have to exchange incense for incense?" ”
Lianyue looked at An Lan at this time, and after looking at her twice, she said helplessly: "The two of you want too much, and they are also very distressed in the next, and if they mention other conditions in the next, I am afraid that the two of them will not have enough time." So I can only exchange incense for incense, this is already taking care of the two of them, if it weren't for the people of the Bai Daxiang Master Jinxiang Association, how could I have such preferential treatment here. ”
An Lan's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly asked, "What are the other conditions?" ”
Xie Lanhe also raised his eyes, and Lianyue looked at them with some amusement, but this time he didn't laugh, but thought about it seriously, and then spit out two words: "Labor." ”
An Lan asked again: "What needs to be done?" ”
Lianyue said: "There are a lot of unknown herbs on Dayan Mountain, but now the people here are lazy and stupid, and they are tired when they walk a little mountain road, and they make mistakes in concocting incense, and they waste a lot of good incense in vain, which is really distressing to the dead." ”
An Lan suppressed the excitement in her heart, gestured to the incense paper in her hand, and then asked, "If you replace these with labor......
Lianyue smiled again: "Picking herbs doesn't matter, let's just say that the kung fu of concocting incense is a world of difference between doing well and not doing well, so this time is yours and me." However, if you change these, even if you do the best, it will take half a month. ”
An Lan was stunned, and then glanced at Xie Lanhe, and it happened that Xie Lanhe also looked at her.
They can all feel that there is something very similar to themselves in each other, so they reach a consensus just by making eye contact.
An Lan spoke again: "Please forgive me Lianyue, we didn't think about it maturely, and now we want to change the incense recipe, so the list of incense products is ......."
Lianyue seemed to guess that she would say this, and with a smile she put Xie Lanhe's incense list in her hand and handed it back, An Lan hurriedly caught it, and exchanged her words with Xie Lanhe again, expressing her apologies and thanks.
……
Before, for the poem "Sinking water and good materials to eat Baizhen, Boshan furnace warm jade Lou spring", the two of them went to the precious incense products, Xie Lanhe finally picked out the ancient recipe is not a problem, if the incense can be successful, it will not be inferior to any other incense. But it turned out that the incense recipe was not suitable for them, and this conclusion made Xie Lanhe feel unpleasant.
"Young Master Xie, take a look." An Lan pondered for a moment, and after writing the new incense recipe, she pushed it forward to Xie Lanhe. The biggest difference between her and Xie Lanhe is that Xie Lanhe is more familiar with precious incense products and incense recipes, while she has a better understanding of some inconspicuous incense, or even plants that are not fragrant, but after special preparation and blending, they can still exude a charming and special fragrance.
In those years, when Xie Lanhe was in that cold mansion, accompanying his mother to taste the precious incense products that Xie Liuye occasionally sent over, An Lan was picking flowers and pulling weeds in all corners of Yuanxiang Courtyard, playing with all the flavors she could feel again and again.
