Chapter 077: Invitations
When burning incense, the first thing others see is the face, temperament, movement, shape of the incense burner, the type of incense, and finally the taste of incense.
After An Lan went back, she told Granny An what happened at the Jin Xiang meeting, and Granny An thought about it and said: "The incense servant must first learn to serve the form, Lan girl, before becoming a incense master, these superficial things are very important." If you don't have this awareness from the beginning, you won't be able to experience the vast world of the Great Incense Master. β
An Lan sat beside Granny An, listened carefully, and nodded from time to time.
"You must know that when the great incense master thinks together, he can create something out of nothing." When Granny An said this, the expression on her face was a little confused, "If you don't know how to choose and prepare for what you already have, how can you make something out of nothing in the future, and do whatever you want." β
The golden finch was stunned when she heard this, and after a while, she was puzzled: "Mother-in-law, how did you make something out of nothing?" Could it be that he is really like a fairy, who can conjure gold out of thin air! β
Granny An smiled, shook her head and said, "It's not so plain, but it's not an exaggeration to say so." β
The golden finch still didn't understand, turned his head to look at An Lan, An Lan was silent for a while before saying: "Is it to let people see what they think in their hearts, if it is a person who is thirsty for gold, the great incense master can not only let the other party see a golden mountain, but also make that person believe that the golden mountain is real, so it doesn't matter if it is true or false, false and real, it is true if the person who sees it thinks it is true." β
Lan Yatou said a little close, dreams have dreams, incense has fragrance, in dreams, many people don't know that they are dreaming. In the incense realm of the great incense master. It can also make those who enter the incense realm unable to distinguish between the virtual and the real. The Great Incense Master can satisfy the thirst of the incoming people. or temptation or guidance, or set up demons for people or let people get rid of demons, or even immerse themselves in the fragrance and never get out...... Therefore, the most indispensable thing for the fragrance of the great incense master is the mind of KitKat, if you can make everything fragrant, you can create something out of nothing. Therefore, Lan Yatou's appearance at the Jinxiang meeting is excellent...... Crisis crisis. When there is danger, it is often the time when the opportunity comes! Granny An said so much at once, she slowly felt a little tired, her face showed tiredness, and then she coughed a few times.
An Lan hurriedly poured a glass of water for Granny An, and after serving her to drink it, she said, "Mother-in-law, rest for a while, don't worry about me, I know what to do." β
After Granny An drank half a glass of water, she thought about it. He said, "Lan girl, do you know. The Great Incense Master actually has another name. β
An Lan was stunned: "Another name?" β
Granny An said, "Heart doctor." β
"New clothes?" The Plantagenet was at a loss.
Granny An glanced at her, and then said: "When people are sick, there are doctors, and when animals are sick, there are veterinarians, who should you look for when your heart is sick?" Seven emotions and six desires are hurt to the extreme, how to save people whose hearts are like ashes? How do you dig out what others are hiding in their hearts? What is Fragrance? How can people create something out of nothing? Only the heart can ...... If you can't touch these, you can only be an ordinary incense master for the rest of your life; Those who can only touch a little bit of the skin are most likely to become charlatans; And the one who can touch the real rules, call the wind and rain in the incense realm as he wants, that is the great incense master. β
After coming out of Granny An's place, An Lan let out a long breath, and then stood in the courtyard in a bit of a daze.
It wasn't until the goldfinch came over and called her softly that she came back to her senses.
Her heart was beating a little hard, she raised her hand and touched her heart, then raised her head and looked at Dayan Mountain in the distance.
The autumn night is cold, the moon is cold, and the candle flame in the distance has stopped, but the outline of the temple can still be seen faintly.
I never understood why she could feel some things with incense, and even make others lose their souls, Ma Guixian was calculated by her in this way. It turns out that it is a fragrant realm, even if it is just a skin, even if it can only be regarded as some charlatans, but ...... It seems that she can get closer, and she seems to really be able to touch his world!
Realizing this, An Lan felt that her limbs couldn't stop trembling slightly, and she was at a loss for what to do.
It is like trekking thousands of miles in the wilderness, and the joy and fear when you suddenly see people in despair.
Like an ignorant child holding a delicate crystal ball, for fear that it will be broken and disappear, he is nervous and looking forward to praying, and he doesn't know what to do.
is so eager to be so reckless, when he grits his teeth and moves forward, he will always be timid because of humility, so that he does not dare to show even such a small surprise, for fear that it will be a dream in the end.
β¦β¦
The day after the end of the Jin Xiang Meeting, the Tianshu Hall passed the word that the second round of Jin Xiang will be scheduled for five days later, that is, on the seventh day of the first month of September, and the specific situation will still be notified the day before the second round of Jin Xiang will begin.
It's just that as soon as the words of the Tianshu Hall arrived, An Lan received an invitation to the incense meeting outside, which was sent by Fang Yuanyuan, and Fang Yuanyuan's main guests at this incense meeting were the sixteen promoters of the first round of the incense meeting in TongguΓ².
"What I said before is really right, as long as you are selected for Bai Guanghan's Jinxiang Club, it will be enough to be beautiful!" Lu Yunxian opened the invitation card and looked at it, showing a little envy in his eyes, "The incense party held by this Fang lady is said to be hard to find, but now it is really rare to hold an incense party just for you." β
An Lan asked, "She is also a perfumer?" β
Lu Yunxian smiled and handed the invitation back to An Lan: "It's not a serious incense master, but the world loves incense, especially in this Chang'an City, there is a noble person who doesn't understand incense, no matter how much you know how much you know, you always have to know something." Besides, the incense parties held by these nobles are different from the contests of the incense masters, most of them are for socializing, and you will be their guests in the future, not to mention that there will be a successor of the great incense master among you. In a few days, not only her, but other nobles will also find opportunities to contact you. β
"Who will go to such an incense party?" An Lan asked hesitantly, she wouldn't just invite a dozen of them.
"I don't have anything to do with this Fang lady, I just heard her name." Lu Yunxian thought about it for a while, and said, "But this Fang Niangzi is an amazing woman, she was originally from a family, and she has married three husbands, the first is a poor scholar, the second is a salt merchant, and the third is even more amazing." actually married into the Hou Mansion! Lu Yunxian said this. Again and again. There was no jealousy in her eyes, only envy and sighing, "Although she has come out to set up a female household by herself, she has made friends with talented ladies in Chang'an City on weekdays, so the incense party she held is full of nobles." β
After An Lan heard these words, she hesitated a little, and went out to sleep in the forest in the past. Although I have also been in contact with nobles, my identity is different. As a slave and maid, you only need to do your duty as a slave and maid without being punished, and if you can occasionally please the nobles, you may also get some other rewards. And now, she was officially invited, and such a change made her a little dazed, and she didn't know whether to go for a while.
"Don't worry." After Granny An found out about this, she said to An Lan. "This incense club should be going, and you know in your heart whether it is or not."
An Lan was silent for a moment. Nodding slightly.
Since you have decided to take that path, such social activities must be indispensable, and being invited is the most direct way to raise your value. There are some things that can't be prepared after everything is settled, she doesn't have any background and background to get her hands on. She has to start from scratch and develop these connections by herself little by little, so as long as she has the opportunity, she naturally can't miss it, and the sooner the better.
Granny An instructed: "Take care of it, when you see those nobles tomorrow, you don't have to be cautious as before, but you can't write pride on your face, it's best to be calm, gentle and modest." β
β¦β¦
At night, the golden finch came to An Lan's side to give, and while helping her choose the clothes she would wear tomorrow, she said: "These clothes of yours are not very suitable to go out to the banquet, and the two new sizes that the Xiangdian cut for you are also wrong, Ming'er must not be able to change it, or go to the master to borrow a new one, don't let people look down on it." β
An Lan picked up the clothes on the bed and looked at them, and she was also a little embarrassed.
The speed at which she rose was too fast, and it took half a month to go from Xiangnu to Xiangyuan. When she was a cifer, she naturally didn't have any decent clothes, and in the half month she was an incense envoy, many things that should belong to the incense envoy didn't have time to enjoy it, and she was promoted to the position of the incense envoy again. Then the weather turned cold, and the new season clothes that Xiangdian cut for her were in too much of a hurry, and the size was wrong, so she had to rework.
And after becoming the head of the incense envoy, she was also deducted for a month, so this way, she is still stretched, she is afraid that she is the poorest incense envoy in the history of the Yuanxiang Academy.
An Lan sighed, even if she had never participated in the incense party, she had seen such a scene, she was really dazzled by the fragrance of clothes and sideburns. On that occasion, she didn't want to stand out, she just hoped that she wouldn't be too shabby to make people look sideways.
"The clothes in charge are not the right size for me." An Lan thought for a while, then shook her head, and then pointed to a narrow-sleeved shirt with moon white folded branches and green calyxes and plums, and said, "This one is not bad with that hibiscus skirt." β
The goldfinch said: "This skirt didn't make a cut last time. β
An Lan picked it up and looked at it, and said, "The embroidered flowers are pressed, so you can't see it." β
The goldfinch hurriedly went to take out the sewing basket, and then muttered while picking up the silk thread: "I used to think that the incense envoy and the incense envoy were very beautiful, and the clothes they wore were shiny, how did they come to us, it was different." β
An Lan sat beside her and said with a smile: "The incense envoy has a little more monthly rules than the incense slave......
But just as he said this, the little Xiangnu outside sent a box to An Lan in, An Lan stopped what she was doing, and wondered: "What is this?" β
Xiao Xiangnu bowed and said: "It was sent by Jing Gongzi, saying that it was something for An Xiang." β

cough, I cried that my grades were not good, but I was depressed and complained a few words to relieve stress, and then I saw if I could pull a few more readers who turned to the regular subscription~~
Frankly speaking, I also know that updates can determine the quality of the results in a certain way. In fact, I want to do more than anyone else, but my ability is really limited, so I can only choose to put sincerity in the text and plot, and I can't take care of a lot of daily changes. Seriously, this book is the one I have invested the most emotion in at present, if there is any plot in the article, which sentence touches you, it is also the place where tears fall involuntarily when I write it, but this is also the article that makes me feel the most lost at present. But even so, I still like him and still look forward to his growth, so ...... It's something you can understand~~ (To be continued......)
