Chapter 54: Autumn Shadow Turns to Golden Wave

Song Wushuang stepped forward and said: "It's just five days, and this Liulan Water Pavilion has changed greatly." Apex x 23 u s I don't know why the girl chose to decorate the house with bamboo and wood, if it was replaced with peonies, wouldn't it be the icing on the cake. ”

"Peony, the rich and noble, even if it is gorgeous, it can't escape a vulgar word after all. But this bamboo and wood are different, as the saying goes: it is better to eat without meat than to live without bamboo. Bamboo is the most noble of all things, just like the son here today. Ji Lianmei replied generously.

Xue Shao's brows furrowed slightly, and he took a step forward and said, "Miss Winding Song, why did you let us go through this experience today?" If you're just here to see your house, then I'm going to say goodbye first. ”

"What are you talking about, it's just that the little woman has learned some incense refining methods, and it just so happens that today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, so I want to ask you to ask for advice."

Ji Lianmei asked Gongzi Yuxin in advance for the background information of everyone in the poetry club that day, so that she could do what she liked and adapt to the situation. This Xue Shao Gongzi is arrogant, competitive, and has a lot of research in incense, even to the point of madness.

Since this Xue Shao doesn't like her so much, as long as she says that she wants to ask for advice on the incense road, this person will definitely take the opportunity to suppress her momentum and compete with her.

Although he was a bit of a bully, in order to keep Xiangdao's noble status in Xue Shao's heart, he would definitely make such a request.

"Since it is said to be a consultation, Xue has a little experience in incense, why don't you try it with the girl?"

Sure enough, I took the bait.

"Okay, after an hour of incense, the competition will officially begin."

At noon, a group of literati gathered in the verandah, waiting for the two contestants who had just gone to make incense to enter.

Liu Yanzhi quietly approached Song Wushuang's side and said, "Brother Song, does this girl who winds around the song really have such magical powers?" If you don't say that you have won the poetry and songs, you still have to refine incense with Xue Shaobi, which is really commendable. ”

"In your opinion, who is more likely to win?"

"That's naturally Xue Shao. Xue Shao's family has been with fat powder for generations, and he has a deep accomplishment in the incense road, who doesn't know who doesn't know in the entire Gusu City? That little girl seems to have just come into contact with incense refining, and if she wants to win, I'm afraid it will be difficult. Liu Yanzhi lightly folded the fan, almost concluding that Ji Lianmei would lose.

"I don't think so."

Just as the people on the periphery were looking at the moonlight and discussing the battle situation in full swing, the doors of the two wings opened at the same time, and two natural fragrances swirled out, and everyone smelled them as comfortable as a spring breeze.

Ji Lianmei and Xue Shao glanced at each other, slowly walked out of the wing, and stood in front of everyone.

"Since the incense of the two of you has been made, I might as well introduce it to you." Song Wushuang took a step forward, which can be regarded as the beginning of this competition.

Xue Shao glanced at Ji Lianmei disdainfully, slowly opened the cap of the bottle, and a rich and natural floral fragrance came to his face, and everyone sighed sincerely.

"The raw materials of my incense are taken from the peach blossoms in March, the peony in April, and the water of Yuquan in Yanbei, supplemented by green wood and sandalwood, and the six processes of steaming, cooking, frying, roasting, and roasting will have such a mellow and long aroma." Xue Shao walked among the crowd with a small bottle containing incense blocks, and after triumphantly introducing it, he returned to Ji Lianmei's side,

"Winding Song girl, it's your turn."

The corners of Ji Lianmei's mouth rose slightly, and she slowly uncorked her bottle.

A faint and elegant aroma of orchids lingered among everyone's noses.

At that time, the literati had only smelled the strong fragrance, and did not know how to appreciate the beauty of the light incense. After Xue Shao sniffed it lightly, he scoffed at this:

"This fragrance is extremely faint, what kind of fragrance can it be."

"Xue Gongzi, don't be in a hurry, and listen to me talk to you in detail." Ji Lianmei didn't care about his mocking words, and continued, "First, the incense I refined is not a piece of incense, but a sesame oil. As long as it is mixed with a certain amount of water and sprayed on the body, there is no need to spend effort on incense clothes, which is faster and more convenient. Second, there was once a poet Yun: The Tao is a deep forest species, and it also brings out the fragrance of the grain. Not because of the tight wind, how can you be Xiaoxiang. Lan is a gentleman among the flowers and plants, Ling Han is arrogant, born on the cliff, supreme and pure. In my incense, I only took a branch of August orchid, soaked it in a jar of sake, and after infiltrating and dissolving, the incense components in the raw materials were extracted. In this way, the original aroma of the plant fragrance is well preserved. ”

"As for why I chose light incense, it is because I think that flowers are light fragrance, and people are light and true. The flowers are too fragrant, attracting bees and butterflies, and they appear too public. When people smell it for a long time, they feel its smell. Although the light fragrance is not loved, it is fresh and natural, unique and romantic, just like this person, the surface is too gorgeous, people's eyes are only limited to clothing, and the circle of friends is limited to the talent and identity of both parties. All the sons here are relatives of the emperor and the country, and unlike a vulgar person like me, they may know the so-called human heart better than me. The hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit. Isn't it sad that people who are in high positions and are admired by all people, but who have no heart? In fact, not everyone can't believe it, it's just because you yourself are never willing to take out your sincerity and choose someone to hand over. ”

The more Ji Lianmei said, the more ugly Xue Shao's face became. Not because of anger, but because of loss.

The Xue family is a famous family of fat fans in Gusu City, and Xue Shao listened to his father educate himself like this when he was a child: In this world, the most terrible thing is not the charm and the ghost, but the human heart. The higher you climb, the less you can trust the so-called sincerity and friendship.

For a long time, although Xue Shao has had a good relationship with friends, he has never really made friends with anyone. He has a fiery heart, but he always seals it up, and there is nowhere to vent his enthusiasm and nowhere to share his joy. I dreamed back at midnight, but I didn't feel sad and sad, and there was no one to talk to.

After listening to Ji Lianmei's remarks, everyone nodded in agreement. It's just that this comparison is about refining incense, not a speech. When it comes to refining incense, it is obvious that Xue Shao's technique is more skillful, and the fragrance is more condensed and intoxicating, but if you want to see the meaning behind this incense, Ji Lianmei is even better.

Both sides have their own advantages, and the people present can't come up with an answer, so they have to wait for which of these two people will admit defeat first, or argue again.

After a moment of silence, Xue Shao bowed his hand and said, "In this competition, I admit defeat. ”

There was another uproar at the scene, and they successively made the poetry club genius and the incense refining talent admit defeat, how much wisdom does this seemingly ordinary woman have that they haven't discovered yet?

After hearing this answer, Ji Lianmei smiled slightly, and stepped forward to help Xue Shao: "If it is about refining incense, I am indeed inferior to you, I am just a trick." This time, you didn't lose, and I didn't win either. ”

"Now that the competition is over, the moonlight is just right tonight, and the melons and fruits have been prepared, why not enjoy the beauty of this good day?"

Song Wushuang raised his wine glass, laughed proudly, and composed poems with other literati. Xue Shao

also changed the cold or restrained appearance of the past, and drank and talked freely with the people present.

While everyone was happy, Ji Lianmei walked alone to the river under the pavilion, looked at the bright moonlight from afar, and slowly shook the wine glass.

The moon hangs in the middle of the sky, circled by a pale yellow halo. When the halo opens, there are some hidden stars. And those blue clouds that flutter like light veils.

When was the last time the moon was this round? If people will become starlight after death, and can protect the living in the sky, will you still protect me? Are you alright? Will you blame me for not being able to avenge you all avengement?

If you were there, I wouldn't be so lonely and helpless in this unfamiliar place......

When is the bright moon? Ask the sky for wine.

I don't know what year it is in the heavenly palace.

I want to go back by the wind, but I am afraid of Qionglou Yuyu.

The high place is cold, dancing to figure out the shadow,

How it seems to be in the world.

Turn Zhu Pavilion, low Qihu, shine sleeplessly.

There should be no hatred, what is the long time to say goodbye?

People have joys and sorrows, and the moon is cloudy and sunny,

This matter is difficult to complete.

I hope that people will last a long time, thousands of miles together.......

The moon viewing party ended, and everyone left. Just as Ji Lianmei was bidding farewell to the guests, Xue Shao stopped her.

"Miss Winding Song, thank you so much for today. It was the first time I had a genuine conversation with someone, and I will never forget it. Thanks to the girl for refining incense, I understand the truth of treating people sincerely. Great kindness, Xue is unforgettable. ”

Perhaps because of the smell of alcohol, his face was slightly red, but those sparkling eyes were enough to express the joy in his heart.

"Xue Gongzi, don't be polite, I just want to express some of my opinions, maybe a little unashamed, please forgive me."

"I believe that the girl's personality is a person worthy of Xue's deep friendship. If there is any difficulty one day, the girl can also come to Xuefu to find me. ”

Xue Shao left this sentence and left.

Ji Lianmei smiled and watched him go away.

This guy is quite interesting.

A maidservant girl who was cleaning up the scraps came forward and said to Ji Lianmei: "Girl, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and it is also the day when Your Highness and Princess Asai Bena are married. It's just that it's already dark, can the girl still go to participate? ”

"Go, it's rare to be so lively, why don't you go?"

Ji Lianmei smiled heartily, went back to the room and took off a pigmented dress, replaced by a fluttering red dress, bewitching like a rose with blood drops, with beautiful makeup, shocking beauty.

Bai Yucheng, you took away the people who cared for me and ruined my opportunity to return to the modern era, how could I let you happily marry someone else and cultivate and grow your own power?

What you have, I will destroy little by little, only then will you understand my pain......
