ask incense

"Expulsion?" Shen Xuan glanced at Tang Lin in amazement, seeing that his complexion was not good, he could only remind Lin Ming in a low voice, "Okay, for someone else's situation, give me some face."

Lin Ming smiled slightly after hearing this, and took Shen Xuan's wine glass, "I'm sorry, I didn't know you still cared about what happened back then, but I didn't know the etiquette, so I punished myself with a glass." He raised his head and drank the wine.

Tang Lin clenched his back molars and forced a smile. Seeing Lin Ming finish his drink on his own, it looked as if he was stepping down, but in fact he had no choice.How could Lin Ming not know, he didn't want to mention what happened back then.

Lin Ming drank all the wine, then threw the glass away, and the butler reached out to take it in a panic, looking like a clown.The people who left always pretended to look at them casually, seeing how funny the usually serious butler was, they couldn't help covering their mouths and snickering.Only Tang Lin and Lin Ming, who were looking at each other with a smile, had no time to care about the ugly housekeeper.

The two looked at each other and smiled politely, but secretly they looked down on each other.

It was still Lin Ming who spoke first, "I don't want to mention the old things, but my old friend would always like to meet, right?"

Tang Lin didn't know what he meant, "Old friend?"

Lin Ming shouted outside the door, "Mr. Saito."

Saito came in dressed in a kimono, Tang Lin turned around and looked back, but had no impression of him for a while.

Saito smiled kindly at him, "Master Tang Lin, I was a participant in the Tang family's first incense fighting meeting."

Not far behind them, Zhao Ming, who tried his best to hide himself, heard this, and frowned and looked at Saito, who was the participant when the Tang family held the first incense meeting?Is he from Kyoto?What is he here for?

Tang Lin didn't have a deep impression of him, but he still pretended to be enthusiastic and shook hands with him, "Long time no see, Mr. Saito."

Saito shook back with a smile, "It's been a long time. I just stopped in the house for a while, and nothing has changed. I'm very glad that Master Lin Ming invited me over and gave me a chance to revisit the old place." Saito said very He was sincerely happy, and then thought of something, with a gloomy look on his face, "It would be even better if I could see my old friend again."

What Saito said behind was so soft that everyone didn't hear it. Tang Lin and Shen Xuan only cared that what he said was that Lin Ming invited him over.

Shen Xuan asked Lin Ming in a low voice, "Why did you bring this little Japan here?"

Lin Ming played tricks, "I'll tell you later."

Tang Lin glanced at Lin Ming, but really didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Lin Ming's gourd.

Lin Ming only looked very interested in the Douxiang Club, asking all kinds of questions, asking endlessly, "When will it officially start?"

"After the welcome meeting, everyone will take a short rest before the first round."

"Specifically compare what content."

Tang Lin looked at Lin Ming with raised eyebrows, "Forgive me for having nothing to say."

"Is the game over?"

"Naturally there will be more than one."

"Then the winner will get the prize?"

"certainly?"

"What's the prize?"

"A new fragrance, the name goes to the wish."

"Wish?" Lin Ming muttered the name of the incense, "Can you show it to everyone?"

Tang Lin glanced at Lin Ming, then lightly ignored his request, "Of course not."

Seeing that Tang Lin didn't cooperate, Lin Ming began to question the fairness of the Tang family's Fragrance Fighting Club, "In this Fragrance Fighting Club, we don't talk about the rules. If there are no rules, there will be no standards. If there are no standards, how can we know whether the competition is fair or not? What about the winning product? I don’t want to show you the winning product first. Who knows what you will use to bluff people? Right, Mr. Saito. I heard that Mr. Saito came to the Tang family to participate in the incense meeting , compared to the last scene, the Tang family excused the absence of personnel and hurriedly gave a sum of money to send Mr. Saito away. The treasure of billions of dollars promised by the Tang family was never seen. It seems that your Tang family was just It was a bluff, and in the end it was obvious that he couldn't get it out, so he dismissed people at will."

"Lin Ming, you're presumptuous!" Tang Lin suddenly became angry, but the housekeeper at the side couldn't stop him unexpectedly. Tang Lin stepped forward and glared at Lin Ming, "Don't think that I will be afraid of you like I used to be in school." Your mouth. If you want to say it again, I will tear your mouth to pieces!"

Facing Tang Lin's anger, Lin Ming had no timidity, "Or, because the young master of the Tang family is unclean, he was just guarding and stealing himself?" After speaking, he raised his chin provocatively at Tang Lin, as if you didn't like it, That's what I'm going to say too.

Tang Lin clenched his fists and was about to explode when Shen Xuan came up as the old peacemaker and said to Lin Ming, "Give me face, give me face." To Tang Lin, he said, "Harmony makes money, and harmony makes money. "

Tang Lin was concerned about the interests between himself and Shen Xuan, so he forcibly suppressed his anger and let go of his fist.

Lin Ming looked at Shen Xuan with a smile, "Okay, I'll save face for you. Then ask Mr. Saito to be the supervisor, and ask him to look at the famous incense and evaluate the value, so that everyone's efforts to participate in this incense fight will not be in vain. Yes, and besides, the Tang family can't have the final say when fighting incense, and it's only fair to have a senior person like Mr. Saito watching from the sidelines."

"When will an outsider come to our house..." Tang Lin was about to angrily reprimand this unreasonable request, but the housekeeper stepped forward to stop him, calling secretly, "Master."

Because people around started whispering.

"Yeah, the barrier set up when entering the door makes people confused. I don't know what standard is used to let people in. There is also the barrier of presenting treasures. It doesn't ask whether it is true or false, and I don't know how to choose the object. "

At this time, Saito came forward, different from Lin Ming's aggressiveness, Saito spoke in a gentle manner, "Master Tang Lin, please rest assured, Saito, I have no bad intentions when I come here this time, I just miss the old man, but it is a pity that the old man is gone." Audio, come to this grand event to comfort the loneliness."

Saito said sincerely, and the housekeeper was there to persuade him, and he had to take Shen Xuan's face into consideration. In the end, Tang Lin had no choice but to compromise, "Then Mr. Trouble, please trouble Mr. to appraise and rectify the name of my Tang family! Honored guest Xuan, let's go together how?"

Shen Xuan glanced at Lin Ming beside him, Lin Ming smiled slyly, "Bring me one, you don't mind."

Tang Lin didn't look at him directly, but said, "One more is not too many. To save someone who didn't see it with their own eyes, they will get weird afterward."

The main hall, which was still lively just now, suddenly became deserted because of the departure of those people.Zhao Ming, who had been afraid to vent his anger all the time, let out a solid sigh of relief after they left, and patted his chest to calm himself while talking to himself, "Why is this Lin Ming and Tang Lin having such a bad relationship? Why are they so bad? What is Bai Lai doing here? And that man from Kyoto, after more than ten years, what will he do when he comes to the Tang family to fight incense again?"

These are all things that Zhao Ming can't figure out no matter how hard he thinks. If he can't figure it out, he doesn't think about it. Let's think about other things, such as the famous watch he almost got, and Pei Ling who hasn't arrived yet.When Zhao Ming thought that Pei Ling and the others were arguing about what clothes to wear before coming here, seeing that they hadn't come yet, Zhao Ming thought, "Could it be that they are still arguing about clothes?!"

There had just been a near world war here, and they were still bickering over a dress, which was fine.Zhao Ming sighed and turned around to take some food, intending to soothe his heart and stomach that had just been frightened.

Tang Lin led a group of people to the room in the backyard that was converted into a safe room, and opened the door with his card. Lin Ming looked at it and let out a "huh", "It's pretty decent. Only you can enter here?"

Tang Lin glanced at him, then looked at Shen Xuan, "Master Xuan can do it too. There is a card attached to the invitation letter, and that card can open this door."

Lin Ming booed Tang Lin, "It turns out it was discriminatory treatment."

Tang Lin didn't want to talk to him, so he led the person in and walked to the deepest part of the house. There was a square box on the table. Tang Lin picked up the lid, took out the small incense box inside the box, and held it in front of Saito with both hands. "Please take a look, sir."

Saito bowed to an incense box and stepped forward, without reaching out to touch it, he just lowered his head slightly, and fanned his hands from inside, trying to fan the scent to the tip of his nose to smell it carefully.Lin Ming looked nervously at Saito, and Saito raised his head after smelling it, and shook his head slightly at Lin Ming.

A look of disappointment appeared on Lin Ming's face, but he did not give up, so he asked, "I don't think there is anything special about this incense."

Tang Lin glanced at Lin Ming with a sarcasm on his face, "Incense and elegant things are mostly for fun, what else do you want to be special about?"

"For 5000 years, there are no legends, and there are not many in the incense."

Tang Lin smiled, "I'm afraid you've heard most of the legends about sex."

Lin Ming gave Tang Lin a strange look, wondering if he really didn't know what was going on with him, or if he was hiding something deep.Lin Ming winked at Saito.Saito understood and told a story, "There are many legends about incense, not only the charming legends of red sleeves adding incense, but the most fascinating legend is the reversal of yin and yang. In the Tang Dynasty, incense was prevalent. The nobles were all proud of incense, In the halls and halls, every household burns incense day and night, in order to fill the room with incense. Suddenly one day, a fire broke out in the sky, and spices helped the fire, burning the city for more than three days. The smoke covered the sun, and the fragrance soared to the sky. It is said to cover the sky, shade the sun, eclipse the energy of the sky and the earth, and cover up the evil spirits of ghosts, and burn the city for three days, but some of the dead avoid ghosts and claim their lives."

Tang Lin couldn't help frowning.Saito looked at the incense in his hand, "However, there is one incense that can match the effect of all these incenses, and just one incense can overwhelm the sky and bring back the soul."

"You mean..." Tang Lin looked at the incense in his hand, wondering if it was the incense in his hand?

Saito shook his head, "This incense is a wish from the past, the past wish is exhausted, and I have no intention of returning." Saito lowered his eyes, "My wish is not fulfilled, where do I go?"

Everyone was confused by Saito's words. Lin Ming was anxious to ask Saito something privately, so he quickly said, "Mr. Saito must be tired from the long journey. Why don't you go out to get some air first."

Saito came back to his senses and said to Tang Lin, "It's so fragrant, this winning product is worth fighting for."

After being affirmed, Tang Lin's mood improved a little. After watching Saito and Lin Ming go out, he looked at Shen Xuan, "Mr. Xuan, do you want to drink in the front hall?"

Shen Xuan naturally stayed to express his apology for Lin Ming's outrageous behavior.

Facing Shen Xuan, Tang Lin naturally had to be magnanimous. After all, he would be a partner in the future. Not only did he not care about magnanimity, he even told Shen Xuan, "A batch of good things have already been shipped, and in three or two days it is estimated I will be there, please show me your face when the time comes."

Seeing that Tang Lin was so careless, Shen Xuan invited Tang Lin to go back to the main hall together, but Tang Lin was tired of seeing Lin Ming, so he found an excuse to refuse, "I still have to clean up. Why don't Master Xuan go first, don't delay the interest." .”

Hearing what Tang Lin said, Shen Xuan didn't stay any longer, and left after a few polite words.Tang Lin put away the incense with a downcast face. The butler appeared at the right time, and he told the butler, "You can keep an eye on the front hall. I'm tired today, and I don't want to deal with other people anymore."

The main reason is that he doesn't want to see Lin Ming anymore.The housekeeper knew that the young master was tired today, so he just bowed his head and said yes, the safe room will be taken care of by the housekeeper. Tang Lin turned his head to leave, but suddenly turned around, "Go to the study later and pack all the things into the private storage."

The housekeeper knew that Tang Lin was talking about the things he just got yesterday, and it seemed that those things could no longer soothe the young master's heart.The butler nodded yes.

Tang Lin said one more thing, "Including that mirror."

Tang Lin had been fond of that mirror for many days before, and presumably the excitement when he got that mirror was different from the excitement when he was stealing it. Unfortunately, Lin Ming's appearance today made Tang Lin utterly devastated. All lost interest.Now the only way to arouse Tang Lin's fighting spirit is to talk to Yue Hefeng, and only what he didn't get.

"How is it?" Lin Ming hurriedly chased after Saito and asked, "Did you smell that smell back then?"

Saito shook his head, "No, that's not what you're looking for."

"Then Tang Lin..."

Saito still shook his head, "He doesn't know. You told me that the time when he was expelled from school and went home did not coincide with the time when I attended the incense fighting meeting at Tang's house, and I never met him back then. I miss him I don’t know why Douxiang was held back then.”

Lin Ming sighed, "Then what should I do? There is no clue at all."

Saito comforted him, "Just wait and see what happens, and you will always find the answer."

Lin Ming glanced at him, "You are really good at learning idioms."

Saito smiled, because he thought that if he had the opportunity, he could have a good communication with him. He was unable to speak Chinese in those years, so he couldn't communicate with the other party about his experience in burning incense.Thinking of those years, Saito puts his sleeves on and casts his eyes away, thinking of the same scenery in the courtyard as it did back then.

When he was in a daze, a foggy blue floated by, it was not real, he just thought that he had been looking at the scene for too long, it was a light spot on the retina, but the familiar face that suddenly appeared told him that it was not his misjudgment, but the return of an old friend.

"Mr. Qi?" Saito murmured, and Lin Ming heard him asking, "What?"

"Lin Ming, what the hell are you doing?" At this moment, Shen Xuan caught up and wanted to ask Lin Ming's intention for this trip.

Seeing the figure passing by, Saito was impatient to chase after him, but the deep-rooted etiquette teaching made him turn around and greet Lin Ming first, "I'm going to the front hall first when you friends are meeting to talk."

After Lin Ming agreed, Saito turned and left.

"What the hell are you doing?" Shen Xuan came up to question Lin Ming quite angrily, "Don't you make such a big fuss as soon as you come up, isn't it to save me? You came here in my name!"

Lin Ming wasn't afraid of Shen Xuan, he knew that Shen Xuan wasn't really angry, but just wanted to owe him a favor and be soft on him, "Oh, I even said that Tang Lin and I were old classmates."

"I believe your nonsense, tell me quickly, why did you come here?"

"You really don't know?"

Shen Xuan looked at him suspiciously, "Know what?"

"Haven't you heard about Mr. Nie returning to his soul for three days?"
