Chapter 262: Drama
Knowing that his brother was also over there, Fang Yuxin was the first to sit still, so he gently pulled Zhen Yuxiu's clothes. Zhen Yuxiu was also aroused by curiosity, and the actor came to the banquet with the invitation of the guest, no matter how much she thought about it, she felt strange. She subconsciously thought that most of the time someone wanted to find trouble for An Lan, maybe it was arranged by the Fang family or Mrs. Qingyao. So she glanced at the county lord of Danyang first, and then whispered yƬ, and they went over to take a look together.
Just these few words, there was a lively sound of laughter over there, and several young girls in the flower hall couldn't hold it back, and they were about to get up, and they also pulled their mothers or sisters and sisters-in-law together. Therefore, it didn't take long for all the guests in the flower hall to go to the incense room.
Zhen Yuxiu followed the county lord of Danyang, and deliberately said to Fang Yuxin: "I haven't heard of such a thing before, who will invite those actors to come over and sit with us?" ā
There are several big opera troupes in Chang'an City, each opera troupe will have a pillar, and their fame is not small, and many nobles also like to spend a lot of money to support it, and some people even fight for a play. But when these things are said, they are all romantic stories, and they are the daily pastimes of the nobles, no matter how much trouble they make, they have not broken the rules. In the final analysis, a drama is a play, a thing that sells laughter and sings for others to have fun, and the noble person asks you to sit down to give you face, but it does not mean that you can really sit on an equal footing with the nobleman.
Fang Yuxin turned her head and asked the maid next to her: "Who invited it?" ā
She also suspected that the Fang family did this, if it was really invited by the Fang family, it was probably to block An Lan, she would be happy to see An Lan mess up this Spring Banquet because of this, leaving a bad impression on everyone from then on. But. The Fang family is willing. But it doesn't mean that others will be happy. After all, the Spring Banquet has always been a social circle belonging to the family, and even An Lan, in addition to having the identity of the heir of the Tianshu Palace, has also been recommended by the Fang family and the Xie family.
If the Fang family casually invited a few actors in as serious guests, it would be a little bit of a little underestimation of this social circle, if it was known by everyone, it would be easy to arouse the disgust of others, Ruo An Lan took this opportunity to secretly provoke. It is likely to be bad for his brother.
Fang Yuxin had this worry, and the county lord of Danyang naturally also had it, so he also turned his face sideways.
The maid who was asked replied, "The servants said that they only received invitations, and did not see the people who sent them. ā
Fang Yuxin first secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked, "How many are here?" ā
The maid said: "Three, but there is only one person involved in the incense fight, and the slave maid heard that it seems to be the Jin family of Fenxi Ban." ā
The county lord of Danyang asked: "Who proposed Douxiang?" Kim Taipan? ā
The maid shook her head: "It was mentioned by the fourth young master of the Fang family." ā
Fang Yu's heart skipped another beat, could it really be arranged by the people of the Fang family? Thinking so, she quietly glanced at the county lord of Danyang. The lord of Danyang County had no different color on his face, as if he just asked casually out of curiosity.
Zhen Yuxiu looked at Fang Yuxin's expression. I smiled in my heart, thinking, it seems that there is really an article.
It's not that they didn't expect that a lot of people would come after a while, so they directly chose the big incense room, and after the Danyang County Lord and others all came in, it didn't seem crowded.
Fang Yuxin thought that it was just two people fighting incense, but he didn't want to, and when he came in, he saw that most of the people in this incense room were involved, and there were thirteen of them. A group of people fighting at the same time, naturally one will come out as the final winner, this is not a simple matter, in the process of group fighting, only one small negligence, it is possible to be kicked out.
It's just that after Fang Yuxin swept around, he put his heart at ease again, because Fang Yuhui did not participate in this incense fight, but just watched from the sidelines, and the person who presided over this incense fight was an incense envoy in the Sleepy Forest.
"It turned out to be a fragrance pattern." The county lord of Danyang said in a low voice, his eyes glanced at Fang Yuhui and Xie Lanhe, they are both the heirs of the Changxiang Palace, they have a special identity, and they can participate in the fight for incense, that is to save face, if they don't participate, no one will say anything, and no one will dare to forcibly pull them in.
Painting incense is a kind of incense game, and many people who love incense also often use it to fight incense.
The rule is that the host selects five kinds of incense and prepares five packets each, for a total of twenty-five packets. Then the host will choose 25 sachets to shuffle up, choose any five packs, smoke one pack of incense with the incense burner at a time, and let the guests participating in the incense fight take turns to smell and appreciate, repeating five times. When the five packets of incense are appreciative, the guests record the similarities and differences of the five incense sticks on the paper with a specific incense pattern notation.
If the first and second incense are the same, the top of the first and second vertical lines of the five vertical lines will be connected, and then the name of the incense will be written. This gameplay is actually not difficult, but, because it is an elimination system, so the people who participate in the incense fight, as long as they are not the last one, this game cannot end, and they must keep appreciating and smelling, and keep drawing incense lines.
In this way, the stronger the people involved in the fight, the longer the game will be, and the longer the time, the easier it will be to make mistakes.
As soon as the county lord of Danyang and the others came in, a guest guessed wrong, so he shook his head and stood up with a smile, took off the jade pendant on his body, and put it next to the presiding incense envoy.
It's no wonder that I heard their voices in the flower hall just now, and everyone who was eliminated would be kindly ridiculed by the onlookers. Those things that are lost are the spoils of the last winner, and maybe no one cares about that thing, but it is a big temptation to win here, so the game is a little more aggressive.
After the county lord of Danyang whispered a few words to the side, he found the Jin Daban, and saw that it was a man in his twenties, with a feminine face, elegant manners, and a calm demeanor. The county lord of Danyang looked at it carefully for a while, and found that the golden Taipan was confident almost every time, and after hearing the appreciation, he did not hesitate to mention the pen, and looked at his bearing, which was not inferior to the incense master.
The county lord of Danyang was secretly surprised, who arranged this person to come in, looking at this situation, it seems that he wants to win this fight, but what is the purpose? Fang Yuhui and Xie Lanhe have not participated, and even An Lan has not shown up, he won, but it is just a small talking point.
Or is it to challenge An Lan and force her out?
It's just that as soon as this idea came out of his mind, the county lord of Danyang immediately laughed at his naivety, it was just a joke, even if he won a fight, it was impossible to be qualified to open this mouth, besides, even if he really opened his mouth, would An Lan lose to him? If An Lan loses to this man, the most humiliating person will be her.

The method of fighting incense in the text comes from the record of "The Tale of Genji", which refers to this method of incense as Genji incense. (To be continued......)
