Su Jiu clearly remembered that for so many years, her memory has always stayed at the moment when the fire was everywhere.

She always thought that it was because she fainted, so she forgot what happened next.

But......

Is that really the case?

She rubbed her eyes and decided to find an opportunity to ask the girl named Sifengyuan Sayi whether the dream she created was true or false.

"My sister woke up?"

The braid was suddenly grabbed by someone.

Su Jiu looked up and saw Xiao Tingchen's underbeaten face.

She wasn't angry, "Little brother won't do anything else except bully me!" ”

"Bullying you is the most important thing in the world, and naturally you can't miss it." The young man was happy, "Su Xiaojiu, you don't know if you can participate in the incense competition in half a month, so you accepted the challenge of Sifeng Courtyard in one gulp, what is this called, the art master is bold?" ”

"I'm going to play!"

Su Jiu clenched his little fists, and Yu Guang saw Mr. Jiang standing outside the store with malt candy in his hand, betting and playing with a few children.

She hesitated, "You have a point...... Hua Lao has never liked me, he would rather accept Xu Zizhu, Jiang Yanqi, Jin Shixing, and Shuoyun as apprentices than accept me as an apprentice. If it was Mr. Jiang, he would love me so much, he would definitely be willing to let me play. ”

In all fairness, in the past six months, Su Jiu really hasn't learned any real skills from Hua Lao.

The little bit of fame in the stomach, in addition to being figured out by himself, is the guidance of Mr. Jiang.

The old gentleman is over the age of old, and his appearance is not good.

Always smiling, he likes to use maltose to coax the children in the old yard to play hide and seek with him, and he also likes to pull her to pour bitter water, saying that the boss doesn't give him a monthly increase, and he has a hard time.

But as soon as he turned his head, he secretly bought and sold the things in the incense shop, in the name of making some tea.

The little girl thought about it and couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth, "Little brother, who do you say Mr. Jiang is sacred?" He should have guarded this store for many years, right? ”

Xiao Tingchen crossed the pair of walnuts, and his peach blossom eyes narrowed with a smile, "It's just an old man." Oh, there's a little more bad water than the average old man. Do you think that purple clay pot contains tea? Actually, it's wine! Tsk, sitting in the middle of the maple lotus every day to peep at the beauties passing by outside, it's really not serious. ”

The old gentleman, who was biting the maltose, turned his head and glared, "I seem to hear someone say bad things about me?" ”

Su Jiu hurriedly waved his hand, "No, no, my brother is praising you, praising you!" ”

The old gentleman glanced at Xiao Tingchen and snorted lightly.

If the little rabbit would praise him,

Sows will go up trees!

……

Half a month passed in a flash.

Tomorrow is the big competition of incense, and Su Jiu stepped into the incense hall of Huafu, very nervous.

I don't know if I can be selected......

Fushengjun and they are all here, watching Xu Zizhu refining incense.

It's about her newly developed Hexiang, and the movements are still a little rusty.

Su Jiu also came over, and subconsciously followed her movements and murmured, "...... Amber three coins, jasmine five coins, frankincense five coins...... I think there is a lot of frankincense, I'm afraid it will take over. ”

She's just her own taste.

unintentional words, but they were listened to by the old man behind him.

The old man looked at her with a complicated look and quietly crossed a name on the paper.

When Hua Lao stepped out of the incense hall, Hua Rourou jumped over like a magpie, "Grandfather, have you thought about which five people to participate in?" Sake will definitely be chosen, right? Grandfather, you don't know, she has been able to work for half a year! ”

Hua Lao was not angry, "Did she ask you to inquire?" ”

"Xiaojiu is not that kind of person! Grandfather, you know, I am a good sister to her—bah, a good brother! ”

Hua Lao got angry when he saw his flamboyant appearance, kicked him, and scolded: "You don't dangle in front of me, it's an eyesore!" ”

After he left, Hua Rourou stuck out her tongue and happily ran into the incense hall with the food box, "Hello everyone, I'm here to bring you refreshments!" Ouch Sister Jiang, what kind of incense are you smoking today, it smells so good! ”

As soon as he arrived, the hall was lively.

Everyone went to the side hall to eat refreshments, Su Jiu walked slowly, and saw Xu Zizhu packing up the incense burner, incense medicine and other things, but put two different incense pills into the same porcelain jar.

"Miss Xu," she reminded in a loud voice, "although the two incense pills are the same color and size, they have the same flavor and cannot be put together." ”

This is common sense in the incense path.

Xu Zizhu seemed to have been peeked into some secret, and her gaze at Su Jiu was like a great enemy, and she was extremely cold!

Su Jiu was startled, not understanding what was wrong with her.

After a while, Xu Zizhu put on the porcelain lid expressionlessly, "I like this, can you manage it?" ”

"I can't control ......"

Su Jiu whispered, very afraid that this girl would be angry, and ran into the side hall as soon as he slipped through the smoke.

In the empty hall, the girl in white clutched the porcelain jar tightly, her expression complicated.

With refreshments, the old man came.

The old man's face was serious, and he stroked his white beard, "Tomorrow is the Xiangdao Competition, I will announce the list of players now, after you listen to it, you can go back to rest and prepare for the competition." ”

A majestic gaze swept over the young men, and he announced lightly:

"First place, Jiang Yanqi. In the past six months, your level has improved by leaps and bounds, although you are ranked seventy-sixth on the Tianxiang list, the old man thinks that your actual ranking can be moved ten places further. Go ahead, and give the Dongying people a little bit of power at the beginning. ”

The weak girl coughed weakly a few times and answered yes.

"Second place, Jin Shixing."

The interracial boy who was desperately stuffing snacks into his mouth looked up in surprise.

"You've never been a rule-by-the-box, you can win by surprise, but you can also fail at once. The winner or defeat of this second game, the old man is mentally prepared. ”

Be mentally prepared......

Jin Shixing was speechless.

The old man is really stumbling, his level is obviously okay, right?

"The third game is the key to morale and probably the difference between victory and defeat. Shuoyun, your strength is unfathomable, and the old man thinks you can win this game. ”

The masked boy arched his hand towards the old man.

Yu Guang quietly glanced at Su Jiu.

There are still two places left, Su Xiaojiu and she......

Hua Lao's gaze fell on Xiao Tingchen, "The fourth game, Fusheng, you come." ”

He didn't have much to say about Fusheng-kun.

The existence of the number one in the Tianxiang list is a lot higher than his level, and it is impossible for him to lose.

"As for the fifth ......"

He glanced at Su Jiu, and then at Xu Zizhu.

Su Jiu lowered his head, and his heart had already sunk to the bottom.

She didn't know who was higher or lower in her and Xu Zizhu's level, but because the selector was Hua Lao, and Xu Zizhu was his apprentice, she was destined to be unable to participate in the big competition.

Looking back on the efforts and expectations of the past six months, the little girl felt extremely ironic.
