Chapter 182: Sitting on Incense (Part II)

"Crane Wanglan, also known as the bird of paradise or bird of bliss, this flower is produced farther south in Dahua, which has the meaning of happiness and auspiciousness."

Mulan looked at the symmetrically embroidered orange flowers on the placket of Huaxi's clothes, with golden wire hooks, shaped like cranes stretching out their necks and looking into the distance, and the color was like warm sunshine, which was really like the name of the flower, and couldn't help but praise: "This crane Wanglan's name is appropriate, can the county lord let Mulan draw two patterns?" ”

"Since you like it, I'll let the maid draw it and send it to you."

"Thank you Lord for that."

"Huaxi, what are you talking about?" Yi Zhen shouted in front.

"Princess, Mulan is discussing tricks with Lord Jingxian. Originally, our Tiandu daughter looked at the princess for everything, and Mulan saw that the county lord Jingxian was also a top dresser. Princess, look at the pattern of this color, Mulan is the first time to see it. Mulan took two quick steps forward to answer, and said to Huaxi after speaking, "County Lord, you are from Dahua, and your knowledge is much stronger than that of us people." In the future, you may wish to come out and walk around more, and let us see for a long time. ”

Mulan's words sounded like praise, but in fact, she was knocking on the side and saying that Huaxi had stolen the limelight from Yizhen. The other three listened clearly. Yi Zhen glanced at Mulan lightly and did not speak, while Xun Rou unconsciously pursed her lips and glanced at Huaxi, as if she was disdainful.

Huaxi looked at Mulan indifferently, "I also saw the pattern of this bird of paradise in the geographical chronicle, and I thought the meaning was good, so I used it to look at the pattern." I also live in Dahua, and I have not walked around many mansions since I came to Xiyue, and where I can talk about knowledge, I am not as good as my sisters, and I can't compare with my aunt. ”

"What insight does not know? I'm just a fun-loving person, what's fun around Tiandu, you just ask me. When it comes to embroidery and perfumery, I'm far worse than you. You deal with spices and flowers all day long, and you know more than me, and when you turn around, you ask people to send me a few rare and well-meaning patterns. ”

Yizhen pulled Huaxi forward, Mulan stood alone and was embarrassed, Xun Rou stepped forward and glanced at Mulan, "Let's go, why are you stupid?" ”

went to the theater to listen to the play, Xun Rou, Mulan and Xin Yi have been circling in front of Yizhen and Huaxi. Although Xun Rou's attitude towards Huaxi is not very good, she does not deliberately-for-tat, and the atmosphere is relaxed.

After listening to the two-fold play, everyone had eaten, Yizhen had some accumulated food, and suddenly called Huaxi, who had already returned to the guest room to rest, and accompanied her to walk in the garden of the house.

The two walked around for a while, and saw a pavilion in the garden, and Huaxi said that he wanted to go there to rest. I didn't want her to accidentally catch a glimpse of Yu Heng and Mulan behind the rockery, Yu Heng seemed to be leaving, but was pulled by Mulan and didn't know what to say.

"It's not early, let's go back and rest for a while, and then go to Wenxiangyuan." Huaxi hugged Yizhen and turned around to go back.

"Not at this time, there are a lot of fragrant flowers in the courtyard of the Zhidu Palace, specializing in florists to protect them, and they are undefeated in all seasons, don't you look at it anymore?" Yi Zhen was puzzled, and glanced back, but was blocked by Huaxi.

"When the flowers bloom at four o'clock, they are in season, with unique styles, each with its own merits. If it really blooms against the season, it will lose its unique temperament and lack the joy of expectation, and this flower reward will lack interest. Huaxi didn't want Yizhen to see Yu Heng and Mulan pulling and pulling, so she deliberately spoke loudly, "I'm tired, Yizhen, let's go back."

"Huaxi, what are you doing in my way?" Yizhen wanted to see clearly, "What's behind it?" ”

"Well, no ......"

"Princess Yizhen and Lord Jingxian, the two of you are coming to visit the garden?" Yu Heng's voice sounded behind him, Hua Xi staggered and pushed a step away, turning around, "Yu Henggong." ”

"Is it Yu Heng?" Yi Zhen looked at Dazzle, "Who else am I?" At this time, the furnace owner shouldn't go to the incense house to prepare, why is he here? ”

Yu Heng smiled and said: "Only when you come out for a walk, breathe, and feel comfortable physically and mentally, can you taste the true taste of fragrance." The county lord is also a person who loves incense, do you say yes or no? ”

"Tasting fragrance pays attention to the state of mind, the nature of the heart, the mood is good, and the heart is not pure and can not taste its true meaning." Huaxi said to Yi Zhen, "Does the princess want to go back?" ”

Yi Zhen nodded, didn't look at Yu Heng, and pulled Huaxi back to leave.

"Are you afraid that I will be sad when I see the misunderstanding?" Yi Zhen said casually, "His confidants are all over the world, even if he has multiple cousins, why not?" ”

"Yizhen, you ......"

"It's nothing, why should people who don't care about it? Don't mention it, don't stir up the fragrant Yaxing. Yi Zhen was still smiling, not caring at all, looking at the loneliness in the distance for a flash.

In the next morning, Huaxi bathed and changed clothes, and went to find Yizhen in plain clothes and went to Wenxiangyuan together.

On the shore of the small lake in Wenxiang Garden, at the end of the cobblestone path, there is a row of single-storey houses, the door of the flower hall is open, and there are two rows of pear blossom wooden circle chairs in the courtyard. On the wooden table, there is a picture of Hanmei hanging on the central wall, and the room is clean and dust-free, quiet and elegant.

There was a silk screen in the incense room, Huaxi and Yizhen sat down in the inner room, Princess Zhidu and other female guests sat next to them, and the guests outside arrived one after another.

Yu Heng sat on the central throne, facing the door on the left hand side sat the King of Thailand and the Three Kings, and on the right hand sat King Zhidu, Ouyang Zheng and others sat down behind him in turn.

Yu Hengyang raised his hand, and the maid served tea. The white porcelain tray bowl holds clear tea, and when Huaxi opens it, the tea soup is clear and the aroma is light.

Yu Heng said outside: "Please taste tea." ”

Yi Zhen said: "Yu Heng likes to play tricks. ”

Huaxi shook his head and said: "Before tasting the fragrance, use tea to open the sense of smell and taste, and it is easier to taste the essence of the fragrance." Yu Henggong's move seems fancy, but it is not unreasonable. ”

Yu Heng is the owner of the furnace, after the fragrance is set and the flavor is passed on to the guests, and the owner of the furnace each incense is changed to another furnace after two rounds.

Huaxi took the incense burner and tasted it three times. The aroma is strong, long-lasting, under the smell, such as the budding flowers are beginning to open, the aroma overflows, prosperous and colorful, sweet with a faint milky fragrance, and the tail note is like the sweet stamen gradually fades. Huaxi pondered for a moment before transferring the incense burner to the next guest.

Yi Zhen looked at the novelty and couldn't help but wonder: "What do you pay attention to this fragrance?" ”

Huaxi said: "The first time to clear the nose and remove miscellaneous smells. The second nasal contemplation, visualizing the fragrance. The third time I recalled, I affirmed the idea. ”

Xun Rou sat aside and asked, "The lord of Suwen is a master of tasting incense, I don't know how to evaluate it?" ”

Huaxi took a sip of tea, "This is the best Qi Nan." The aroma lingers for a long time, with many turns, and it can last for two quarters of an hour, such as the aroma of the four seasons, the fragrance of agarwood is classified as spring fragrance. ”

"Oh, and the scent can be divided into four seasons?"

"That's nature. Agarwood has a changeable temperament, floral, plum, milky, or cool, bitter, burnt...... The fragrance of agarwood makes people feel silent, and it allows people to meditate......"
