Chapter 017: Puyu

An Lan's heart churned for a long time, and finally she didn't dare to open her mouth lightly, so she lowered her eyes and said cautiously: "The slave is just a fragrant slave, and there is no chance to know this." ”

Jing Yan didn't believe or disbelieve her words, picked up the silver leaf clip again, picked up the unburned incense clip on the silver leaf and put it aside, and asked, "Like incense?" ”

An Lan raised her eyes and looked at him hesitantly. Jing Yan was also looking at her, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, but there was no smile in his eyes, but a deeper inquiry.

It was clear that he was a little curious and puzzled by her, and so was she.

An Lan lowered her eyes: "No one in the courtyard doesn't like incense." ”

Jing Yan put down the silver leaf clip in his hand: "Can you often make incense on weekdays?" ”

An Lan was silent for a moment before she replied ambiguously: "Occasionally, I will learn from the incense envoy. ”

Whether it is the incense slave in the incense courtyard or the incense slave in the incense hall, there is no qualification to make incense. However, even if the incense hall did not explicitly prohibit the incense slaves from making incense, the actual situation did not allow the incense slaves to have this preference, because the incense slaves simply did not have enough money to support such a preference for burning silver.

It takes a lot of experience to make a successful incense; And experience takes a lot of time and money to pile up. Even if a combination of incense is successfully produced, whether it is burning incense, burning incense, lighting incense, or tasting incense, tasting incense, and fighting incense, it is a process of turning reality into virtuality.

And in the end, no matter whether it succeeds or fails, it will turn the original white silver into a wisp of green smoke and disperse it between heaven and earth.

Therefore, playing incense is mostly the love of celebrities and gentlemen who have money, leisure, and talent.

This girl is like a cunning little fox.

The smile on Jing Yan's lips deepened, and he asked again: "Have you watched Douxiang?" ”

An Lan nodded: "Every year, after the sacrifice ceremony of the Changxiang Palace, the incense slaves can watch it outside the hall. ”

"The commonly used rule of fighting incense in the Changxiang Hall is to guess the incense." Jing Yan opened the vermilion lacquer box on the side of the case, took out four delicate and small incense sticks and put them on the incense case, and opened them one by one in front of An Lan, "There are four kinds of famous incense here, Shen Tan Dragon Musk, the incense just now, its monarch and minister, just say any two, you can pick one of the incense as a reward from here; All said yes, you can pick up any two kinds of incense; If you can name the complete incense recipe, these famous incense will be given to you. ”

Shen Tan Dragon Musk Deer, the four famous incense, the best quality is hard to find, and the ladies and gentlemen are proud of owning it.

There are four incense in front of him, and the amount of incense in each incense is about one or two, and the incense in any incense is far more than the normal value of a fragrant slave.

An Lan raised her eyes in surprise: "Master Jing, I-"

Jing Yan smiled, as cunning as an old fox: "Don't be afraid, I won't punish you if you guess wrong." ”

An Lan looked at the four incense sheng, one of which contained the dragon brain, and she almost couldn't suppress the excitement in her heart. She needs this, but there is no such incense in the incense storage room of the Yuanxiang Courtyard, and the entire Yuanxiang Courtyard may be there for the king. But the king's courtyard was not allowed to enter without a summons, and the golden finch had never entered the king's room, so he didn't know where the king put all the incense.

In the end, if she can't find the dragon's brain, the golden finch will sneak into the king's place to find it, and the danger is too great...... No one can afford to be discovered.

Faced with this temptation, An Lan was very moved, but she couldn't be sure what Jing Yan's purpose was. She was just a lowly incense slave, and it stands to reason that he couldn't get anything out of her, but now he took out such a precious incense, just to find out her bottom.

Why?

An Lan suppressed the excitement in her heart and did not speak immediately, but looked at him puzzled.

Jing Yan was not in a hurry, looked at her, and said another news: "Next month, there will be an incense fighting party in Kou Meilin, and several incense masters will come over with incense, and at the same time, the merchants in Chang'an City are allowed to ask the incense masters to raise the fame of their shop." ”

An Lan was puzzled: "Raise your fame? ”

"Every store will have a signature incense, or a new fragrance to be launched. The incense fighting in Kou Meilin will be very famous in Chang'an City, and if the merchants show their faces at this incense fighting meeting, they can naturally raise their fame. This is an extremely rare opportunity for merchants, the scene will be much more lively than the usual incense fight, and on that day, you can come and have a look. After Jing Yan finished explaining, he said, "If the incense courtyard doesn't let you come out, I'll say hello to you in advance." ”

When he said the last sentence, he deliberately winked at An Lan, this action was a little bad, but it was not offensive, but it made people feel more cordial. Really, unlike the person in his memory, the man in red in front of him is really a man in the world.

An Lan lowered her eyes, her heart moved slightly, and the fingers placed under the case couldn't help but touch her belt, and when she went out with Lu Yunxian just now, she deliberately brought Chen Lu's incense card. I was planning to find an opportunity to throw away this incense card after arriving in Koumeilin. It's just that...... After hearing the news of the Douxiang Meeting from Jing Yan, she suddenly thought that Ma Guixian should not let go of this opportunity, and he would definitely participate in it then.

If this is the case, then this incense card still has a role and cannot be thrown in vain.

It's just that she needs borneol, and time is short.

If a person of his status really wants to embarrass her, why should he make such a big detour.

Most of the time, it's a blessing rather than a curse.

Even if the purpose is unknown, if she can get his help, she will have nothing of value except for this life, and she will not lose it no matter what.

Thinking about this, An Lan said: "Xuanshen is the king, Jatamansi is the minister, Xuanshen is half a catty cut into thin slices, wash the dust in the porcelain, boil it in water, fry it slowly to make the slight smoke out, and the jata pine is four taels, pick up the weeds and dust, and mix it with honey." ”

Jing Yan smiled: "What else?" ”

An Lan lowered her head and said: "The slave is stupid, and she can only guess these two things." ”

If it was really a little fox, he showed his tail a little, so he quickly hid it again, and he really couldn't catch it.

Jing Yan said with a smile: "If you say it all, these incense will be all yours." ”

An Lan still hung her head, knelt quietly in front of the incense case, and didn't look at it much.

Jing Yan smiled again: "Forget it, don't embarrass you, tell me, how do you feel after smelling it just now?" What does this incense do? ”

An Lan hesitated for a moment before speaking: "When I first smelled it, I felt that my mind was in a trance, and the slave guessed that this incense should have a psychedelic effect, so I didn't dare to smell it just now." ”

Jing Yan looked at her for a while, and then asked, "Do you know who made this incense?" ”

An Lan shook her head: "Isn't it a child?" ”

"This is the incense made by Bai Guanghan twelve years ago." Jing Yan said lightly, "But he wasn't Bai Guanghan at that time, but I know that he will eventually become famous all over the world." ”

An Lan's heart was shocked, so she looked at Jing Yan and stopped talking.

In this way, the incense of the mother-in-law was obtained from the great incense master Bai Guanghan?

She wanted to ask Bai Guanghan what the Great Xiangshi was called before, and for that person, she always had an irrepressible urge to ask about him. Especially after seven years, after meeting someone who looks exactly like him and is still his twin brother, every time he faces this face, this impulse becomes more and more obvious.

However, every time she wanted to ask, she felt inexplicably timid.

Fate was so unpredictable that she was both thrilled and in awe.

"Pick." Jing Yan gestured to her for the four incense sheng.

An Lan put away some chaotic thoughts, was not polite, took the incense containing the dragon's brain in her hand, and then knelt down and kowtowed: "Thank you, son." ”

An Lan withdrew from the pavilion and left the Yixin Garden, only behind the flowers and trees near the rain pavilion did a person come out, retract his gaze from the direction where An Lan disappeared, and looked at Jing Yan: "This is the little girl you said?" ”

Jing Yan nodded: "That's right, talent is rare, and it is indeed one in ten thousand." ”

"You read that right?"

"There's no mistake, but she's just a piece of jade now, and she needs to be carved slowly."
