All nature in spring looks smiling and gay..

Black tiles and white walls, small bridges and flowing water, a flat boat through Gusu City.

The little girl in the aqua blue dress lay on the stern of the boat, and her white and tender little hands reached into the water, leaving a long string of water ripples.

Xiao Tingchen stood on the bow of the ship, and as far as the eye could see, it was a quaint and dilapidated palace on the top of the hill in front of him.

He smiled and asked, "Xiaojiu'er, do you know what kind of place it is?" ”

"I don't know."

"It's called Guanwa Palace, and according to legend, it is the palace built by Wu Wangfu for Xi Shi. The river we traveled through is called Xiangxi, can Xiaojiuer know the origin of Xiangxi? ”

The little girl sat up as if she were listening to a lecture in the academy.

She shook her head earnestly.

Xie Rongjing, who was sitting by the small stove grilling fish, was full of pride, "Of course, it's because the name Xiangxi is good, isn't it possible to call it Stinky Creek?" ”

Xiao Tingchen smiled, "It is said that Xi Shi was born with a strange fragrance, and often bathed and groomed in this river, and over time, this river was also dyed with the fragrance of fat powder, so it was called Xiangxi." ”

"I see." Su Jiu admired, "Little brother, you know a lot!" ”

Xiao Tingchen chuckled and dusted off his wide sleeves, "This river is very clear, and refining incense with the water in it can probably get twice the result with half the effort, and the little wine can be bottled and brought back." ”

Su Jiu was like a good baby, and couldn't wait to take the glass bottle to hold the water.

Xie Rongjing's eyes moved slightly, and he also took a bottle of water.

Su Jiu sealed the bottle and asked curiously, "Brother Xie, do you want to refine incense too?" By the way, did you participate in the last Jiangnan Hexiang Competition? In addition to me, there is another person who has been chosen, and I want to know who that person is......"

The Wa Kingdom Pillow Incense Museum wants to visit Jiangnan in the autumn, nominally to learn incense, but in fact it is to provoke Daqi.

In order to win, Hua Lao has to select five young people with superb skills to participate.

Fu Shengjun, Jiang Yanqi and Xu Zizhu have already been decided, so there are only two places left.

Facing the little girl's curious and inquiring gaze, Xie Rongjing looked away unnaturally, "I don't refine incense!" Xiao Huaijin said that the water quality of this stream is good, can I take it back to wash my face? It's good for the skin! ”

Su Jiu raised an eyebrow, not understanding why he reacted so violently.

When eating grilled fish, Xiao Tingchen sat next to the little girl, as if he mentioned it casually, "The Pillow Incense Museum of the Japanese Kingdom has been operating incense for hundreds of years, and the young people who have been trained have become famous incense masters in the world later, and their level cannot be underestimated. This visit is not a casual selection of a few flavors of incense, and you can deal with the past casually. ”

Su Jiu took a small bite of the grilled fish and listened carefully.

"Everything has its way, for example, Confucianism emphasizes benevolence, Mohism emphasizes non-aggression, and Legalism emphasizes order, these are all Taos, and incense-making is no exception. Xiaojiu'er, have you ever seriously thought about what your incense is? ”

"My incense?"

The little girl was confused.

She only knew that the incense powder and incense pills she made smelled good, but she didn't know what else to pay attention to in this thing.

After thinking for a long time, she shook her head, "Little brother, I don't have a way. ”

The boy touched her little head, "Then, you can think carefully now about what the 'road' you are going to take is." ”

The light boat followed the river, all the way through the rolling green hills, and headed for Jinling City.

In the spring of that year, everything came back to life.

Su Jiu was nine years old and Xiao Tingchen was sixteen years old.
