Chapter 183: Sitting on Incense (Part II)
Xun Rou said impatiently: "These people here all know that the fragrance is tasted, the one who is described by the meaning, the one who is narrated by the taste, the one who is narrated by the context, and the one who is narrated by the object." The county lord said this, it seems that it has nothing to do with the four seasons? ”
Hua Xi continued: "Miss Xun is very right. To visualize the fragrance, it is for the nose to visualize. Because the temperament of agarwood smelled by the nose is changeable, such as the change of the four seasons, day and night, all things wither, and the cycle begins. According to the smell, it is roughly divided into five categories: spring, summer, autumn, winter and earth. Soil incense is a variety that cannot distinguish the four seasons, spring fragrance is like a blooming flower, sweet and gorgeous, and the breath is lively and colorful; The summer fragrance is as prosperous as ten thousand trees, the breath has no beginning and no end, and the aroma declines and leaves the aftertaste of bitter almonds; Autumn incense is silent and desolate, difficult to preserve; The winter fragrance begins to resemble autumn fragrance, gradually becomes gorgeous like spring fragrance, and the tail note is lonely, like a snow wind blowing through all hidden things. ”
Outside the screen, there were two applause, and King Zhidu couldn't help but praise: "This is the first time that this king has heard the fragrance of the four seasons." The county lord's views are very detailed, and they are apt to be admired by the king of Liben."
As soon as King Zhidu spoke, someone immediately echoed in unison.
"You're all wrong." Huaxi spoke, glanced at Xun Rou, and said more.
Xun Rou bit her lip, looked at Huaxi, who was calm and relaxed, and tasted the tea without being shocked, a wave of anger surged up, and her hands clenched unconsciously.
Mulan saw it clearly on the side, lowered her head to Xun Rou's ear and whispered: "In this capital, it is said that the girl is a master of fragrance tasting, most of them are famous, but I didn't expect that our Jingxian county lord is a handsome person with some real skills, and she has this ability, no wonder she liked the emperor, the princess and the virtuous king so much as soon as she came, and she canonized the county lord in the past three or two days." My sister has been in the palace for so long, and I haven't seen His Majesty give her a seal. ”
Xun Rou's face was not good, she gritted her teeth and looked at Huaxi, and glanced at Mu Lan, "King Zhidu admires her very much, and then look at the furnace master, how loudly is he boasting?" Anyway, it is well known that Yizhen does not want to marry Yu Heng and delay the marriage, if the royal family wants to regret the marriage, he will marry another county lord, you say, right? ”
Mulan's face turned pale, pursed her lips, and she was silent.
Sitting in class and commenting, Huaxi didn't say much, but when others deliberately asked, he said a few words casually, and the meaning of what he said didn't mean much, but it didn't seem particularly prominent. At the end of the day, the maid presented the incense book and asked the guests to keep notes. Huaxi wrote the word "Taoyuan" for Yu Heng's "Chunxiang", and the other flavor mentioned "Xifeng", and Leyi's fragrant wood, Huaxi pondered for a long time before mentioning "one string".
"I remember that you were good at flying white in the past, why do you use Xiaokai today? No matter how subtle your word is, but with this word, the meaning does not match, but it loses its original taste. Yi Zhen glanced at Huaxi, "You have already been in the limelight, why do you need to avoid it?" ”
Hua Xiwan explained in a low voice: "You can't escape your discerning eyes in everything. This Xun Rou is for me to fill in, if I blindly avoid, she will inevitably find trouble in the future, rather than this, it is better to start to be in the limelight, frustrate her sharpness, once and for all. As for later, this incense mat was originally for those people outside, how can I compare to King Zhidu and Yu Henggong with extensive knowledge. ”
“…… Therefore, you try to be as silent as possible when you sit on the incense, and this incense lesson has changed the penmanship, so as not to make people mistakenly think that the beginning of those words is prepared in advance. Yi Zhen chuckled and said, "You, you, this hidden sex is similar to your father, there is really a father and a daughter." ”
When the two whispered and talked, the incense book had already been written and sent to Yu Heng. Yu Heng presented it to King Zhidu and King Tai and others to see it first.
Several nobles took back the incense book, Yu Heng took the incense book and flipped it twice, his eyes swept over the "incense" inscribed by everyone, and only paused slightly in the place where Huaxi wrote, and then retracted his gaze and handed the book to the waiter to collect.
Leave the inscription, and the incense mat is over.
Everyone moved to the back garden to taste tea, Huaxi saw that the incense banquet was finished, and did not want to stay in the Zhidu Palace, and was about to get up and say goodbye to the princess.
At this time, Xun Rou came over and said with a smile: "Today's words of the county lord of Jingxian about agarwood are really incisive, Xun Rou and the others have been taught." ”
Mulan echoed: "Yes, the county lord really lives up to his name. I'm going to talk to the county lord another day. The county lord should not refuse. ”
"Miss Xun is overrated." Huaxi thanked her, and said to Mulan with a smile, "As for what Miss Mulan said, I dare not take it seriously." But how can I teach a pastime in my spare time? If Miss Mulan wants to ask for advice, I think Yu Henggong is more suitable than me. ”
Mulan's face changed slightly, and she wanted to say more, but was interrupted by the person who followed her.
Yi Zhen came up to relieve the siege: "Let's go, don't crowd here to talk, go out to breathe." ”
Yi Zhen spoke, and everyone dispersed. Princess Zhidu and the others had already left first.
Huaxi had to go to the garden with everyone to look for the princess first, and as soon as she went out, a waiter came to look for her, saying that the king of Zhidu had been invited.
Huaxi was stunned for a moment, and didn't know why King Zhidu invited her, so she had to call Bai Lan and follow the waiter to the side hall of Wenxiangyuan. When she arrived in the side hall, she realized that it was Yu Heng who led her here.
"County Lord" Yu Heng bowed his hand and invited Huaxi to take a seat and "serve tea"
Huaxi sat down and asked, "You don't have to eat tea." I wonder why the prince invited me over? Her Royal Highness is waiting for me in front. ”
Yu Heng said: "Thank you for your help today. ”
"Thank me?" Huaxi didn't raise her eyelids, and picked up the tea bowl that the maid had just delivered, "I don't have a good memory recently, I don't know when I helped my father?" ”
Huaxi pretended to be confused, Yu Heng smiled, "I just happened to meet my cousin in the garden...... Don't get me wrong."
"It seems that the public is misinterpreting the object." Huaxi took a sip of tea and put down the tea bowl, "The tea in Zhidu Wangfu is good, but there is still something to do in Xinwangfu, so I won't taste tea here, take the first step, and I hope the public will forgive me." ”
Huaxi got up, and Yu Heng hurriedly stood up, "The county lord has something to do, first ask my father to ask me to tell the county lord a thank you for the birthday gift from the county lord." My father, the king, is addicted to incense, and it is rare to praise people, and he also appreciates the 'incense' left by the county lord. At the time of the birthday banquet, the county lord and the prince were also invited to the mansion as guests. ”
Yu Heng asked people to send the birthday banquet post. Huaxi asked Bai Lan to take it, "Thank you for your kindness, I will tell my father when I go back." ”
Yu Heng asked someone to send Huaxi out of the house, and Huaxi Dao had to go to say hello to the princess and princess first.
Yu Heng hurriedly called someone over: "Come on, prepare a sedan chair, and send the county lord to the pear orchard." ”
Huaxi couldn't excuse herself, so she said, "There is Lao Gong." ”
Yu Heng said humbly: "The county lord doesn't have to see outside. Another day, if the county lord is free, I will also invite the county lord to sit in the Lishu Garden. ”
