Chapter 042: Face-to-face

"Yes." Chi Shao owed, looking respectful, "The Seven Soul Incense that Jing Gongzi wants has been out of the cellar, and Master Bai Daxiang has confessed, if Jing Gongzi comes over, he can go directly to the Cunxiang Building to get it." ”

"Seven Soul Incense?" Baili Ling raised her eyebrows in surprise, "That's not fifteen or sixteen years ago, Bai Guanghan put together the first exotic fragrance, it is said that smelling it can make people confused, the scenery changes with the heart, and the environment changes with the heart, why, Brother Jing suddenly wants this?" When Bai Liling said this, he glanced at Jing Yan, with a sneer in his eyes, his picturesque eyebrows and eyes sent out a wave of water, and the room seemed to be peach-colored, he reached out and gently picked up the mutton fat white jade ring that Jing Yan hung on his waist, "I don't know who Brother Jing wants to confuse?" Does Bai Guanghan know? ”

Jing Yanqu fingers flicked away his restless hand: "This is what I took a lot of words to get, don't make up your mind." ”

The power of that flick of his fingers was unceremoniously, Bai Liling was glad that he was hiding quickly, turned around and sat down on the chair again, supported his head with his hand, squinted at Jing Yan slightly, and looked lazy and fluffy: "I never have the idea of incense, if Brother Jing likes it, you can take the incense in my incense store." ”

Jing Yan smiled slightly, neither accepting nor refusing.

Red Peony lowered her eyes to the side, looking at her nose and nose, looking like a wooden beauty, as if she hadn't heard these insinuating conversations at all.

Jing Yan motioned to Chi Shao to lead him to Cunxianglou, and Baili Ling was about to say that he would go too, but before he could speak, Hou Zai's maid outside the main hall came in and said, "Baili Great Xiangshi, Yang Dian's servant is here." ”

Jing Yan stopped when he heard this, and when Baili Ling saw that he hadn't left, he still sat down, picking up a grape and saying lazily: "Let him come in." ”

The maid replied and withdrew. Jing Yan looked at Bai Liling and said with a smile: "What good things are you sending this time?" ”

Bai Guanghan has an indifferent temperament, even in the face of the great incense master of the incense hall, he is also unkind. And the great incense masters are all arrogant, and there is already competition between each other, Bai Guanghan is so high and arrogant, so the great incense masters in the incense hall, except for the two that Bai Guanghan has carried before. Those who are willing to take the initiative to come over to show their closeness are only Baili Ling.

Almost every month or two, Baili Ling would send something fresh and strange over, and at the beginning, there were still people who were worried about it, for fear that Bai Guanghan would form a party for personal gain. Later, it was discovered that Bai Guanghan's treatment of Baili Ling was no different from that of others. So those people were a little relieved.

"The big red robe, from picking to smoking, is all personally stared at by the head of Yunshan Dao, and it is said that it is something that the queen mother in the palace asks for." Bai Liling took the tea pot that Yang Qi carefully held and placed it on the coffee table next to him, "It's only six catties this year, I think the Queen Mother is so old." I couldn't drink that much, so I only left half of it for her. ”

Jing Yan walked over and opened the tea can, and then the fragrance of tea hit like a cloud and mist, which was pleasing to the heart. He pinched a handful of tea leaves and looked at it: "Picked from the mother tree behind the cliff?" ”

"That's right, I see that old tree is about to become fine, and the good tea leaves are deliberately growing under the steep rock."

"Not bad." Jing Yan threw the tea leaves in his hand back into the tea can, turned to Chi Shao and said, "Let someone send it to me in a while." ”

Chi Shao glanced at Baili Ling quietly, but did not dare to hesitate. That is, he responded: "Yes." ”

Baili Ling was stunned for a moment, and then smiled angrily: "Just this little broken tea, you can't just talk to me, and rob him." ”

"He hasn't finished drinking last year's tea, and you're still leaving it dry." Jing Yan didn't have the slightest embarrassment on his face, and after he finished explaining, he was going to Cunxianglou. But as soon as he turned around, the maid who was waiting outside came in again. He whispered: "There is a white incense master outside the hall who asks to see the Baili Great Incense Master. ”

In fact, when the White Book Hall arrived at the gate of the Tianshu Palace, it was originally to ask someone to send a message to the Yang Palace, but after the person who sent the message outside the hall heard that the White Book Hall was the incense master of the Yuanxiang Temple, he saw the White Book Hall with a little urgency on his face. I mistakenly thought that the White Book Pavilion was in a hurry to see the Baili Great Incense Master, so he passed on the wrong word.

"White Incense Master? Which White Incense Master? Bai Liling glanced over puzzled, Xu because they were all surnamed Bai, so when he heard this, he seemed more pleasant than before, so the style of that glance made the maid who passed the word couldn't help but be in a trance. Chi Shao frowned and looked over, and the maid came back to her senses, and quickly lowered her face and said, "Yes, it is the White Book Pavilion Incense Master of Yuanxiang Academy." ”

Yang Qi, who had not yet exited on the side, was stunned, after he came back last night, he heard that yesterday afternoon, the White Book House had come to the palace to look for him, and today he was going to send someone to Yuanxiang Courtyard to ask what was going on. It's just that when he was about to give the order to go down, it happened that the Baili Great Incense Master asked someone to send tea over, so he put it aside for the time being. But I didn't think that for a while, the White Book Pavilion actually found this side of the Heavenly Pivot Palace, and it was still here to find the Baili Great Incense Master! Yang Qi was slightly shocked in his heart, could it be that something really happened, so that Bai Shuguan didn't care to tell him, and directly found the Baili Great Incense Master?

If this is the case, he will definitely leave an impression of dereliction of duty in front of the Baili Great Incense Master.

The change in Yang Dian's expression fell into Jing Yan's eyes, and Jing Yan glanced at Baili Ling: "It's rare to meet a fragrant master from Youxiang Academy who came directly to find you, and found it here." ”

Baili Ling was also a little surprised, so she asked Yang Dianshi, "Is something happening to the incense courtyard below?" ”

Yang Dianshou hurriedly bowed: "I haven't heard of anything." At this time, he didn't dare to say that the White Book House came to him yesterday, but he didn't go to inquire about the reason in time, so he didn't know what to ask now.

Bai Liling leaned back in the chair, picked up a grape and threw it into his mouth, and said, "Let him come in." ”

Jing Yan also seemed to be interested, and walked to Baili Ling and sat down.

Outside the hall, Baishuguan didn't expect the Baili Great Incense Master to meet him at all, and he was surprised and delighted in his heart, and his mind was blank for a while, and he only followed behind the maid in a daze. It wasn't until he entered the hall and saw Yang Dian's attendant in the hall that he remembered why he came over.

At this time, Yang Dianshi's uneasiness in his heart was even worse than that of the White Library, and as soon as the White Library came in, he looked over. It's just that there is Baili Ling at the moment, and Baishuguan is a fragrant master, so in real terms, Baishuguan's identity is higher than him. It's just that because their respective responsibilities are different, and he is on an errand in the incense hall, so the two have always gotten along with each other at the same level.

The grapes in Baililing's hand are the red dragon pearls of the Western Regions, the strings are full, the grains are round, the fruit farmers in the Western Regions cut the bunches of ripe grapes in the morning when the sky is not yet bright, pick out the best, put them into the fruit box with ice cubes and silk satin, and then do not delay for a moment, that is, the horse is sent to the port, and the fruit box wrapped in thick hay is on the ship, and the cargo ship is Yang Fan set sail. The ship was prepared with enough ice to ensure that the temperature of the fruit box remained unchanged, and after more than ten days, these grapes were sent to the Changxiang Palace, and when they were taken out, they were as fresh as when they were just picked, and even the fragrance of dew had not yet dissipated.

The red honey-like grape juice stained his lips, as if he had rouge, making Baili Ling's face a little more charming. When the White Book House came in, I saw this scene, the image was extremely casual, and even a little debauched, but it made people even more afraid to look at it directly.

"Aren't you looking for me? Why don't you speak? Seeing that Baishuguan was an elderly ordinary man, Baili Ling was not interested, but he was impatient to see that he had been pestle there, so after eating half a bunch of grapes and taking away the sticky juice in his hand, he asked with some interest.

Bai Shuguan thought that Baili Ling was looking for him to ask, but when he heard this, he was shocked, so he raised his face in confusion, and said after a while: "Xue, student, I am here to find Yang Dianshi." ”

"Huh?" Bai Liling glanced at Yang Dianshi.

Yang Qi was shocked, and then knew that what he had just guessed was really right, and the White Book House was indeed coming to him, so he hurriedly said: "The subordinates don't know when the Bai Xiangshi is, so they don't dare to disturb the Great Xiangshi, and the subordinates ......."

Seeing that he was going to withdraw, Baili Ling wiped his hand on his body at will, and then saw that his wide-sleeved robe woven with amber silk and embroidered with garden landscapes had a few more red stains, and a good dress was ruined. This kind of behavior and behavior will not make people feel a little abrupt and vulgar when placed on him.

"Let's just say it here, I happen to be idle." After wiping her hands, Baili Ling said a word of disappointment, and then put her hands in the washbasin sent by Chi Shao and washed them casually.

Yang Qi paused, not daring to object, but the White Book Hall was a little embarrassed.

The incense envoy's exam, it was already a bit of a fuss for him to ask about it, but now, he asked him to tell this matter in front of the great incense master, and he really didn't know how to speak for a while.

"What's going on?" Baili Ling has never been so patient with others, and when she saw that she had spoken, no one spoke, and her eyes showed a little displeasure.

Yang Qi panicked, hurriedly looked at the White Library, and said, "Master Bai Xiang is looking for me, but it's for the sake of the Xiangyuan?" ”

Baishuguan saw Baili Ling's impatience, and didn't dare to hesitate any longer, besides, this matter was closely related to his future, if he didn't get rid of Wang Zhangshi, he would be afraid that it would be difficult for him to stand firm in the Xiangyuan in the future. So after Yang Qi opened his mouth and gave him the steps, he told him about yesterday's incense envoy exam, mentioned Wang Yuniang's death, and at the same time explained the second exam in special detail, his words were impartial, but there was a faint worry in his tone. As for what worries, the White Book Museum did not say it explicitly, but everyone heard it and had their own answers.

After hearing this, Bai Liling's eyes glanced back and forth between Bai Shuguan and Yang Qi a few times, and then fell on Bai Shuguan: "What is the name of that little Xiangnu?" The last one to distinguish the incense. ”

Bai Shuguan breathed a sigh of relief, and the Baili Great Incense Master was willing to ask, which proved that he came over to say that this matter did not anger the Great Incense Master. So he replied respectfully: "That fragrant slave is called An Lan." ”

Baili Ling asked again: "How old are you?" ”

Baishuguan was stunned, he hadn't seen An Lan, and he didn't know how old he was, so he couldn't help but turn his head and glance at Yang Qi, Yang Qi hurriedly said: "That Xiangnu is about thirteen or fourteen years old, and it is rumored that he has been on an errand in Xiangyuan for six or seven years. ”

Baili Ling squinted slightly, although Yang Qi didn't understand the specific situation, he had already sensed the contradiction between Baishuguan and Wang Zhangshi, and was about to send Baishuguan a favor, so he continued: "There have been incense masters who have personally made the question before, and I ...... this matter."

"Slow." It's just that before he could finish speaking, Baili Ling interrupted him.
