Fei Shi failed to ridicule the achievement, but touched Mrs. Xue's scales, she was very annoyed in her heart, how could she allow Mrs. Shen to be proud? pretended to be funny, and issued the word "flutter": "Gu Niangzi is so humble as a daughter-in-law, but Madam, your mother-in-law boasts, which makes us more and more envious of Gu Niangzi, how can we meet the mother-in-law who regards herself as her own daughter-in-law, Mrs. Shen has no daughter now, and she will have it in the future, I am afraid that she will not be as good as her daughter-in-law." ”

Chungui couldn't help but glance at Fei again: Of course, I am from an ordinary background, and I can't show up in all directions, let alone know how to socialize between high-ranking women, but she is also extremely unintelligent, this word "boasting", doesn't even Mrs. Xue cover it, and there is an insinuation that Xue Sanniang is also not worthy of the name?

I'm afraid it's time to provoke Mrs. Xue's dissatisfaction.

Sure enough, I heard Mrs. Xue smile and said: "Where is Mrs. Shen boasting, Gu Niangzi is really an interesting and elegant person, first of all, the vase of flowers on our case for viewing is selected from the jasmine blooming in this garden, which is natural and interesting, not specially purchased from the market for the flower party." And inviting people to gather should be out of whim, a little bit of flattery, can be called a pleasure. He also said that the invitation post placed by Gu Niangzi was in the name of the Jasmine Fang Society, so she depicted the broken branches of jasmine on the note, and smelled the lingering fragrance on the paper. ”

If Fei really knows the degree of advance and retreat, she should realize that it is no longer suitable to ridicule the host as a guest, but in such a situation, she is still blindly anxious: "The post also said that I was invited to wait for the fragrance, but I can't wait to see how different Gu Niangzi is in this door." ”

She didn't realize it herself, and when she spoke, she had already revealed more edge and sharpness.

"I'm afraid I have to make Fei Niangzi laugh, just a vase of flowers, although taught by the ancestors, the concubine is only a little knowledgeable, as for the incense, it is even more superficial, how dare you hold the cloth drum thunder door." Chun Gui hurriedly excused himself: "When the concubine is taught by her mother-in-law, she will grow a little in this field, and she will dare to show off, and she may be able to cheer up the lady at that time." ”

She really wasn't hypocritical humility, she really didn't know how to appreciate incense, and she didn't even have time to listen to her father's comments on what was good or bad. When Chungui thought about his stubbornness, he also used his father's treasured agarwood pieces as wormwood, and used them to fumigate mosquitoes and flies.

"Is Mrs. Shen proficient in incense?" Fei's surprise in his heart could no longer be hidden, and he blurted out his doubts.

"Where can you be called proficient, it's just a pastime in your spare time." Mrs. Shen's heart was happy, and her humility became more and more natural.

Fei Shi became more and more unbelievable, thinking that she herself was in the incense road, or because her grandfather was very knowledgeable, in the capital when a group of people who loved incense, it was also very famous, and because of the sexual joy, at the age of forty, she was at home, and Fei's mother was the youngest girl in the family, so she was fortunate to be familiar with this elegant art. Fei Shi has been learning about incense with his mother since he was a child, and he has read a lot of notes and writings handed down by his grandfather, and he is confident that he can still get out of the world, but how can Mrs. Shen dare to show off the fragrance on the elegant collection?

The Shen family is just a gateway to the market, relying on the eldest daughter to become the queen before it soared, thinking that there were fewer jokes after Shen Shouquan, the prince of Yuguo, became rich at first glance? bought a fake, thinking it was Wu Daoxuan's authentic work, but made it up that it was the ancestral collection of his Shen family, and invited guests and friends to hold an appreciation party for it, but he almost didn't laugh off the big teeth of other families.

Mrs. Shen knows how to know the incense? Didn't she think that putting incense in the stove and lighting it, pretending to praise a few "good incense", could it be called tasting incense?

Fei was going to take a leisurely look at the jokes.

Mrs. Shen has no stage fright, she is only from the market, but when her sister was elected as the crown princess, she was still young, although she had no talent for piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, she learned a nondescript class, but she was born with a keen sense of smell, when she entered the palace for the first time, the Empress Dowager Shengde gave her a sachet, which contained more than ten kinds of dried flowers, and she sniffed through her nose, she could distinguish more than half, the Empress Dowager Shengde was amazed, her incense, but the Empress Dowager Shengde personally taught!

Fei Shi is a family heirloom, will there be a lack of writing notes such as incense smokers in the palace? There is no shortage of female officials who are well versed in the quality of incense, which greatly facilitates exchanges and exchanges, and in this doorway, Mrs. Shen is completely confident and well-informed.

Since the host and guests all had a consensus on tasting incense and art, the responsible Spring Gui also immediately took action, and she took the lead in removing the vase of flowers on Mrs. Shen's case, followed by the maidservants who also removed the rest of the vase of flowers one by one.

Mrs. Xue saw it in her eyes and was silent.

But in her heart, she secretly thought: Fei Niangzi is afraid that she is too big this time, she is so conceited about Xiangdao, she must not know how to pretend to understand when she underestimates Mrs. Shen, but just looking at this preparation in advance, Mrs. Shen is obviously well versed in it. To know that there are many young girls nowadays, when they have nothing to do, although they also learn to learn from men to taste incense and burn cigarettes, they often have to offer vases of flowers on the incense table first, thinking that this can add elegance, but they don't know that the vase of flowers itself has the fragrance of plants, which will conflict with the incense.

Although it is said to be a more artistic, but in fact, this kind of elegance is the most taboo conflict, even if it is to compare the height and the short, the process can not bring the slightest bit of gunpowder, and often does not force the people present to try the art one by one, who is interested, who will "ask for war".

Mrs. Xue said first: "I think Mrs. Shen is interested, and Mrs. Fei has always been good at it, so it is better for the two of you to choose the incense and burn the products, and we will sit in the incense breeze, but we must first nominate a judge, and then recommend someone to record things with poems and texts, so as to live up to this Yaxing." ”

"The judge is the first to recommend Mrs. Xue to take the role." Fei's preemptively.

She has already won the game, so she secretly jumped in her heart, you must know that although she knows the way of incense, and has been invited by Mrs. Xue to participate in several elegant gatherings, and has also caught up with the fragrance competition, but she is hindered by Mrs. Xue's affection, it is not good to play to the top, and the two competitions have been reserved, and she has not shown her knowledge in this art skill, and finally this time she does not have to humble her opponent, she must be extremely affectionate, and she will be ashamed of Mrs. Shen.

With the prestige of the Xue family in Fenzhou, as well as Mrs. Xue's own talent, naturally no one denied her as a judge, and there was a Ding family who recommended herself to be a recorder, although no one ran for her, but Fei's mood this time was not so happy.

This Ding family has repeatedly made a face for Mrs. Shen today, did she take the wrong medicine?

It turns out that Ding's husband Li Ji, although he is a fellow in any state, is slightly higher than Hu Duan, but the two are not subordinate, and Li Ji is far inferior to Hu Duan's roots, there is such a teacher as Shi Liangxing, and he can be regarded as a speaker in front of Yuan Ge Lao, so Fei has a sense of superiority in front of Ding, and he usually interacts, faintly taking Fei's as the main Ding family, and Ding's never being strong, except for today's first turn for Chungui, and at this moment he took the initiative to support Mrs. Shen's banquet.

For a while, a maidservant girl brought incense and presented it to Fei Shi for selection.

I saw twelve white porcelain incense bowls juxtaposed on the tray, each bowl contains incense pieces, which is for the choice of the artist, when the incense pieces are selected, and then the required incense burner, incense tube, incense tripod and other utensils are selected, this is the incense Tao that is now exquisite, according to different incense, with different utensils, so as to reflect the aesthetics of the incense burner, as well as the perception of the incense. Of course, there are also skills in comparison, such as when burning charcoal, the fragrant charcoal must be fully burned, and there are certain skills when pounding the ash, and the carbon into the hole is more fine, because the depth of the hole depends on the variety of incense, and a slight mistake will affect the smell of incense.

Therefore, choosing incense pieces became the first step, and Fei never imagined that she would lose in this first step.

Although Mrs. Shen provided a lot of incense pieces, most of them turned out to be unseen and unheard of by Fei, so that she had no way to distinguish the breath after burning, so no matter how she chose the weapon and how to use the technique, and she could distinguish a few things that were vulgar and inferior, of course, there were also the ones that met her heart, Fei was sure that she could smoke the faint orchid incense, but she only had one choice, wouldn't it be difficult to win?

She really didn't expect that Mrs. Shen was extremely talented in this art, and with the personal guidance of the palace concubine, she actually learned how to make incense, and although the Yuguo Mansion is not enough, it is a contemporary prominent, so she naturally has enough financial resources to support Mrs. Shen's preference, and even set up a special incense-making shop, according to Mrs. Shen's recipe to make incense tablets and incense pills, how can it be seen in the market?

I wanted to show my skills, but the result was unfavorable, Fei's face was black during the whole process of burning incense, and he even missed several times when he turned the hole, and the victory or defeat can be imagined.
