Chapter 072: Picking
There is a top cover on the incense burner, and there are pores on the furnace wall, which is conducive to venting the fire gas and preventing the overflow of fire ash, so that the aroma is swirling and circulating, making it lasting, and it is convenient to watch the smoke. The incense burner does not have a stove cover, and is mostly used for incense products that can be burned independently, and is suitable for incense sticks, cone incense, incense sticks, etc.; The body of the incense burner is rectangular, with different shapes, or with or without a lid, which is suitable for smoking incense sticks placed horizontally; Printing incense burner, the mouth of the furnace is larger, the depth of the furnace is shallow, the incense ash is spread below, and the incense is printed with a mold above, which is the same with or without a cover.
The words handed down by the Tianshu Palace, let prepare an incense burner, the rest did not specifically explain, and the choice was very small, but on second thought, in fact, there was a lot of choice. Because this sentence can be understood to mean that although it is allowed to prepare one incense burner, there is no rule that multiple incense burners cannot be prepared.
Ran Anlan intuitively felt that this sentence was more like a trap, if she had a fluke mentality, she was afraid that she would be eliminated immediately.
I don't know what incense will be used then, or maybe it won't be used at all tomorrow......
The role is different, and the incense burners of different styles can only be picked one.
"Could it be that it is better than the incense burner that someone picked?" The golden finch said uncertainly, "In this case, our incense burners are all very ordinary styles, and the materials are also average, and the main incense products produced by the Yuan Xiangyuan are not incense burners, and they are definitely not as good as their treasure-inlaid jade!" Or, why don't you ask Lu Zhangshi to borrow one from the incense department? Pick a Boshan furnace directly! ”
An Lan shook her head, but which one to choose, she couldn't pay attention for a while.
"Is this okay?" After pondering for a while, the Golden Bird pointed to the largest ancient bronze tripod furnace, "This is big and honest, it will definitely attract the attention of the Great Incense Master, and since the location is in the courtyard, it is just right to be so big." ”
An Lan sighed: "If you want to smoke incense at that time, how much incense do you need to take for such a large incense burner?" ”
The golden finch was stunned for a moment, and then muttered, "Then, then pick a small one?" ”
An Lan was silent. Bai Guanghan's great incense master came up with this question, the purpose of which is not to let these thirty-two people try their luck like a child's play, and it should not be decided by an incense burner, the important topic is tomorrow. Perhaps, no matter what kind of incense burner you choose, you will not be wrong, but just in case, the choice of incense burner should not be sloppy......
The incense burner is suitable for watching smoke and is mostly used indoors. And the incense burner is not suitable for lighting incense; Although the incense burner is suitable for incense products that burn independently. But you can also use charcoal to smoke incense; The incense burner is special because of its shape. Therefore, the scope of application is small, and the same is true for the incense burner.
Comparatively speaking, the incense burner has a wider range of applications.
After a while, An Lan walked to the row of shelves where the incense burner was placed. I saw that there were more than ten different shapes and different materials on the shelf, such as incense burners, dragon ear furnaces, ear punching stoves, fish ear furnaces, mustache furnaces, and bowl stoves......
Finally, An Lan walked over to the stove.
The furnace is calm and atmospheric, graceful and precious. It is unique in the forest of hundreds of instruments, and has always been respected by literati and scholars.
It's just that at this time, there are two furnaces in front of me, about the same size, and one is copper. One is porcelain, copper new, simple and sophisticated, porcelain old, light and elegant.
"Do you want porcelain?" Seeing An Lan take down the incense burner, the golden finch said, "The copper one looks more atmospheric." ”
An Lan glanced at it and shook her head: "It's too new, it has no charm." ”
"Yes." The goldfinch was stunned, compared it carefully, and seemed to feel something, some things are precipitated by time, and they can only be understood, not spoken. And the fragrance is actually a kind of artistic conception. The life of incense is very short, even if it is completely in accordance with the formula, there is no incense that can completely replicate its former style, because the people who combine the incense, coupled with the difference in the selection of materials, as well as the different environment, the mood is different, so the perception of the product will not be the same.
The next day, An Lan deliberately changed into plain clothes, and asked the golden finch to comb herself into a bun, still wearing the jasper hairpin, and two white beads the size of a dragon's eye were pressed behind the bun.
"It's too plain." After dressing her up, the goldfinch looked at her and said, "It's good-looking, but won't it make people look down on it." ”
She is now a long incense envoy, and in terms of wearing, there is a fixed quota in the incense courtyard, although the styles are very old, but they are also gold and silver jewelry.
An Lan glanced in the mirror, then picked up the jade porcelain mantle stove and turned to the golden finch: "How about this?" ”
The golden bird was stunned, only to realize that the color of An Lan's clothes was exactly the same as the incense burner in her hand, so she jokingly said: "At this glance, you look like the incarnation of the incense burner!" ”
An Lan gave her a blank look, put the incense burner on the table, and carefully wiped it again.
The goldfinch smiled, took out an ornament from her body and handed it to her: "Here you go!" ”
An Lan turned her head and saw that it was a skirt press, and the main ornament was two jade lotus flowers, the jade was warm and moist, the carving was exquisite, and the lotus heart of one lotus flower was empty.
An Lan took it and took a closer look, and said in surprise: "How can there be this?" ”
Although it is not a good jade material, this thing is not cheap, and the light carver is worth two to three taels of silver.
"I wanted to give it to you a long time ago, but I lost a few of the beads below, and I found them after rummaging through the house for a long time." The golden finch said, "You have become an incense envoy, I have to congratulate you, and if you really leave the Yuanxiang Courtyard in the future, I am afraid that we will not be able to meet as often as now." ”
An Lan was silent for a long time before asking, "Is this ...... How much did it cost? ”
She knew that the golden finch was the same as her, neither of them had any savings, and the monthly price had just risen, and before she could get it, she was deducted again.
The goldfinch pursed her lips and snorted, "Ask what you are doing here, I didn't steal it anyway." ”
An Lan immediately said: "I didn't mean that! ”
"Okay, you'll take it if you give it to you, it's not a valuable thing." As he spoke, the golden finch snatched the skirt press, and while tying An Lan around his waist, he chattered and said, "This hollow lotus flower is when the jade carver master carved it, and the jade material has black spots, I don't see it well, so I let him hollow it out, I originally wanted to find a piece of beeswax to inlay it, but the jade carver said that it looks good when it is empty, anyway, the thing is small, and I can't see it." ”
An Lan lowered her eyes, looked at it in a daze for a while, and then took it in her hand and touched it gently: "It's so beautiful!" ”
"yes, I think it's for you, too." The Golden Sparrow clapped his hands and said, "Okay, let's go, I'll tell the master, I'll go with you today." ”
After An Lan wrapped the incense burner, she wanted to say something, but the golden finch dragged her: "Don't rub it in, go quickly!" ”
An Lan put those words in her heart and smiled: "Let's go." ”
……
When they entered the Koumei Forest and walked to Qutai Garden, there was still a quarter of an hour away from the time, but among the thirty-two people, there were already more than twenty people, and the county lord of Danyang was among them, and in addition to the county lord of Danyang, An Lan also found a familiar face - Zhen Yuxiu.
"She's been chosen here too!" The golden finch also saw Zhen Yuxiu, raised her eyebrows in surprise, and said in a low voice, "I inquired before, her surname is Zhen, her name is Zhen Yuxiu, she is a girl from the Zhenyuan family, and it is said that the Zhen family also has a concubine." Look at her, it's still the same as that day, her eyes are on the top of her head, and no one cares about it except for the county lord of Danyang. ”
As he was talking, he looked at the Lord of Danyang looking towards them, and An Lan smiled slightly.
Zhen Yuxiu also saw An Lan at this time, so she snorted: "It's her again!" ”
The county lord of Danyang was going to go over to greet An Lan, but after hearing this, he glanced at Zhen Yuxiu and said with a smile: "Are you still angry about the shawl thing?" ”
Zhen Yuxiu was stunned for a moment, and then her face was slightly red, and she said, "How come, I'm not such a stingy person." ”
"Then why do you look annoyed when you look at her, you shouldn't have had a holiday before." The county lord of Danyang said and said, "She is a good person, besides, she is the incense envoy of the Changxiang Palace, so she should be befriended." ”
"It's not the incense envoy of the incense hall, what can be the big deal." Zhen Yuxiu frowned, and she couldn't tell why she just didn't like An Lan. Maybe she felt that An Lan should take the initiative to come over and talk to her, or maybe she felt that the county lord of Danyang always helped An Lan speak, and such differential treatment seemed to lower her identity.
The county lord of Danyang smiled: "Let's go say hello." ”
Zhen Yuxiu hurriedly grabbed her and said in surprise: "What are our identities, no matter what, it should be her who came to greet us, how can we go over and get close to her!" ”
