Chapter 100: Preparation

The next day, Mu Xiangqing told Huaxi Douxiang about it.

“…… You don't like to be public, but now that this matter has been requested, it's not good to say anything, you just do your best, don't be nervous. Although I don't know how to make incense, I also know that just having a recipe may not be able to make a good incense, so I ask you to pay more attention when you do it yourself...... There is a Hou Ye to bear everything. ”

Huaxi was a little surprised when she first heard the news, but it was only a moment, and she accepted it calmly, who made the emperor's order difficult.

"In the future, you will have to leave the house, I will explain to the housekeeper, and find two good nursing homes to follow you."

Mu Xiangqing specially sent a nursing home to follow her for her safety. Huaxi's heart warmed, "Aunt bothered." ”

Within three days of Huaxi's stoppage, Yin Chengzong came to the door.

Mu Xiangqing sent someone to invite Huaxi to the side hall of the front yard to meet the guests, but when Huaxi arrived, he found that it was not Yin Chengzong alone, but another acquaintance, Ji Xie.

Mu Xiangqing beckoned Huaxi into the hall, "Huaxi is here, come in"

Huaxi went up to salute and said with a smile: "Say hello to King Chengjun, Gong Ji and Auntie." ”

Yin Chengzong's eyes stopped on her the moment Huaxi came in, the lake blue lotus pattern crepe piping silk top, the plain white skirt corner embroidered green lotus eight-piece Luo skirt, the waist tied with a palace silk string of turquoise rings to wear the pressure skirt, the snow muscle jade bones, no makeup ice posture, the whole person is like a plain and elegant green lotus, quite a bit of independent taste.

When she smiled, but it was a wonderful eye, elegant when quiet, and charming when she smiled, so that Yin Chengzong, who was all over the group, lost his mind for a moment, and only after a month, did he suddenly feel that there was a gap between three autumns at first glance.

Watching Huaxi walk in, the sunny smile on the corner of Ji Xie's lips, who was chatting with Mu Xiangqing funny, also froze for a moment, and a dark light crossed almost imperceptibly under his eyes.

"Girls don't need to be polite," Yin Chengzong quickly gathered his thoughts, "May I sit down girl, okay?" ”

"Thanks to the county king's concern, everything is fine in Huaxi." Huaxi sat down, looked up and met Ji Xie's gaze on the other side, and saw him chin signaling, Huaxi also nodded slightly.

"Don't hide it, Yin came today to ask for something." Yin Chengzong didn't go straight to the point politely, probably explained the matter of Douxiang to Huaxi, which was much more detailed than Mu Xiangqing.

After discussing with Dahua, Xiyue set the incense fighting meeting into three sessions, tasting incense, distinguishing incense, and fighting incense.

Huaxi listened, these three competitions were not simple, and when they talked about it, they couldn't help but have some questions in their hearts: "Tasting incense and distinguishing incense is a good judgment, but this bucket of incense is just a ...... People have different hobbies, and their natural preferences for aromas are also different. How should I evaluate it? ”

Huaxi explained the crux of the problem, Yin Chengzong nodded, and said with a smile: "What the girl said is extremely true. This game is divided into three rounds, each with the same question, to test the incense. Because some incense products need to be made, each side of the topic has five questions, and three questions are drawn in court after three days, and the topic is set before making incense. On the day of Douxiang, cover up his name, and after the secret evaluation of both sides, one of the more will win. ”

Huaxi understood, "This method is not bad." The slightest hint in front of everyone's eyes is likely to be exposed on the spot, and the secret comment avoids bringing everyone's emotional color, which is fair.

Yin Chengzong asked again: "The incense products used to test and distinguish incense can be put aside for the time being, and the top priority is the topic of fighting incense." What topic to choose, Yin came to discuss with the girl. ”

Huaxi asked, "The king of the county is also a person who loves incense, but what do you propose?" ”

"Hey, it's best if the topic of Douxiang can promote its strengths and avoid its weaknesses. It's just that Xiyue came prepared this time, and there were a lot of people, so we couldn't find out who was participating, let alone what kind of incense they were good at. Moreover, Xiyue is prolific in spices, and there is no shortage of incense masters, which ...... Yin Mouxin is also uncertain. ”

Xiyue is also known as "Xiangguo", when Xiyue put forward this challenge, the tone of his voice made him a little annoyed, and he was arrogant for a while, and then the king of Thailand proposed to hand it over to himself, and after receiving the order, his heart was not at all.

Hearing Yin Chengzong say that he had no idea, Huaxi thought helplessly, looking at the situation, he was ready to let himself come.

Huaxi thought about it, "The South China Sea Island of Greater China also produces spices, and there are not as many kinds as Xiyue, and different species of the same kind abound. The title can be used as a chapter ......"

Yin Chengzong was puzzled: "......What do you mean?"

"The topic is set by the category of materials, that is, the question is limited. It's just that Huaxi doesn't leave the house and doesn't know much about making incense in Xiyue......"

"I've been in Xiyue for a few years." Ji Xie, who had been sitting on the opposite side and had been silent, suddenly interjected, "Xiyue is also more fragrant, and there are many people based on sandalwood musk, which are more intense and less quiet. ”

Huaxi glanced at Ji Xie, and then turned to Yin Chengzong, "In this way, you might as well set up a flower fragrance theme, and it must be imitation incense, and the ingredients must not use stamen petals." ”

Yin Chengzong clapped his hands and said, "The imitation incense made by Haohuaxi is a must." The smiling orchid you entered the palace last time was an imitation incense, and it all relied on ingredients to blend and create the fragrance of orchid. ”

"The prince has a good reputation."

Yin Chengzong's eyes were slightly hot, Hua Xi was a little uncomfortable, smiled and turned his head, just in time to see Ji Xie's thoughtful gaze, and there was a little more solemnity between his eyebrows.

Huaxi frowned and asked, "Ji Gong, is there anything wrong?" ”

Ji Xie shook his head, the corners of his lips hooked, "No, no." The girl of Huaxi has been famous for a long time, but unfortunately she does not have a girl-made incense in her hand, and she can't experience the wonderful fragrance that the king of the county said. ”

After speaking, he glanced at Huaxi deeply, and asked with a smile, "I don't know if Miss Huaxi can give Ji a certain fragrance or two with her face, and let Ji appreciate a few or two of them." ”

Huaxi glanced at Mu Xiangqing, Ji Xie was not familiar to him, the Cheng family and the Ji family had been friends for a long time, Mu Xiangqing wanted to be more familiar with Ji Xie, could this incense be sent to her to ask Mu Xiangqing for meaning.

Mu Xiangqing nodded slightly.

Hua Xicai said: "Don't dare to be." Ji Gong invited, and Huaxi should obey. He turned his head and whispered to Cui Ming to go to the West Courtyard to get two incense products.

On the other side, Yin Chengzong said again: "This time, Miss Douxiang can make a move, Ji Mou thanked me first, and I see that this topic is still drawn up by the girl first." ”

Huaxi thought that there was still half a day left to almost finish, so he said: "Huaxi can help the county king draft some topics, but I dare not say that I am very sure, and ask the county king to go back and ask someone to consider it." ”

Yin Chengzong glanced at Huaxi, "Well, I'll pick it up tomorrow?" ”

"Yes."

Mu Xiangqing said: "The county king is busy, Huaxi is ready, tomorrow I will send a reliable person to the palace, and the county king doesn't have to go again." ”

Yin Chengzong thanked with a smile, "That's annoying Mrs." Ji Gong is familiar with the scenery of the West Moon, and his family is a businessman in the southeast, if there is anything needed this time, Miss Huaxi will say directly to the two of us. ”

Hearing this, Huaxi promised on his face, but he was a little angry in his heart, and secretly slandered himself, daring to love this Yin Chengzong took over the errand, so he planned to catch the strong man to be the shopkeeper, and even found a consultant for himself.

Ji Xie took out a book from his arms and put it on the table, "This book is about the scenery of the Western Moon, and I will leave it for the girl to refer to." ”

After Huaxi accepted it, Yin Chengzong said: "It's not early today, don't bother Mrs. and Miss Huaxi anymore." I said goodbye to Ji Gong first. ”

Yoon Seung-jong and Ji Seop left. Mu Xiangqing left Huaxi and said a few words, telling her to do her best and not to force it. Huaxi thanked him, went back to the West Courtyard, and looked through the books about Xiyue left by Ji Xie in the house, which were indeed much more detailed than the parade miscellaneous notes in his own hands. After a book was roughly finished, Huaxi thought for a while before writing the question.
