ask incense

Sai Tianxian took five wooden cards and placed them vertically on the table one by one.Pei Ling looked at it and thought, I understand, this means that there are five flavors that are the same.But didn't six people pass by just now?Sai Tianxian only placed five wooden cards, one more.

Pei Ling looked at the last wooden sign in Sai Tianxian's hand, wanted to ask but didn't dare to ask, for fear of disturbing him.Fortunately, after Sai Tianxian held the wooden board for a while, he put the last wooden board in his hand horizontally on the second wooden board on the right.

Um?Pei Ling couldn't understand, and didn't understand what he meant by such arrangement.He raised his head to look at Zhao Ming again.

Zhao Ming just finished putting up the wooden sign. He felt Pei Ling's gaze from the corner of his eye, and turned to meet him. However, he usually looked at each other, but was spotted by the sharp-eyed butler, and Zhao Ming was immediately ordered.

"What words to sing?"

Fortunately, Zhao Ming knew it well, and replied very calmly, "Sing <Rumengling>."

With a sweep of the strings, the singing sounded again, Zhao Ming waited with bated breath, he was relieved when no one came up to cover the tray on the table for him.

On the high platform, Shen Xuan watched, seeing Zhao Ming's stunned state, he turned his head lightly and gave the housekeeper a look, the housekeeper nodded, "I won't do it next time."

While everyone was listening to the song, Pei Ling quietly asked Zhao Ming, "Why are you stacking one piece again this time?"

Zhao Ming explained to him in a low voice, "Among the six types of incense just now, five types are different, and the remaining one is the same as the other one. Ask what words to sing, it is like a dream order."

Like a dream order, five square rhymes, and a stack of rhymes, so the same two flavors are stacked on top of each other.

Pei Ling was confused by what he heard, and probably knew that two of the six incenses just now were the same.I don't know if Sai Tianxian acted too relaxed, which gave Pei Ling the illusion that this incense meeting was nothing more than that.Pei Ling felt that he was just not an educated person, so he looked confused from the sidelines. Putting this aside, it was actually not difficult.It's just smelling, distinguishing the incense burnt by those people holding stoves, which ones are the same and which ones are different. If it's not like this, what flowers can be played?

However, those individuals who came up in the next second broke Pei Ling's heart of underestimating the enemy.This time, the eight people who came up with the handle stove passed in front of the crowd in two rows of four.

Sai Tianxian seemed a little nervous, Pei Ling knew that this visit was not easy, so he sat upright and did not dare to disturb Sai Tianxian with a slack attitude.

He no longer watched from the sidelines like the previous two times, and sat upright. When someone passed by, he inhaled hard and smelled it. All kinds of fragrant aromas were all in his inhalation with all his strength, and he almost didn't sneeze on the spot. Fortunately, He was determined enough to hold it back, otherwise this one would sneeze and disrupt the order, and the housekeeper would send someone to come up and throw them out.But the smell was too strong, even if he held back his sneeze, he still had to lower his head and sniff his nose. When he raised his head again, although the room was decorated in a simple way, the smell left him with a dazzling aftereffect.

Pei Ling shook his head to calm himself down, and looked worriedly at Sai Tianxian.When Pei Ling smelled it just now, apart from feeling that it smells great, she couldn't tell which ones were the same and which ones were different.

Not only Pei Ling was fascinated by the scent just now, but the rest of the crowd frowned. Previously, they only entered the stage one by one. It was good for them to distinguish one by one. This time, two people entered the stage at the same time, which was really confusing.You can't even tell the smell, let alone rack your brains to put up a wooden sign.

Zhao Ming also had a headache. He couldn't smell the incense held by those people just now. What should I do?I thought that distinguishing fragrance was my forte, but it turned out that I overestimated myself.Once self-confidence collapsed, the heart will be in a panic.Zhao Ming's pupils trembled, and he really didn't want to waste all his previous efforts, so he had to take advantage of the time when everyone else was looking down at Shen Xuan, frowning and biting his lips, begging Shen Xuan to help him.

Shen Xuan, who was sitting and watching on the high platform, received Zhao Ming's gaze and raised his eyebrows slightly. Recently, he felt more and more that Zhao Ming was very fond of him, so it's okay to help him out.So Shen Xuan waved to the housekeeper.

"What orders does Master Xuan have?"

"I would like a cup of tea."

Zhao Ming who asked Shen Xuan for help was very puzzled, I want to help him help me, why does he want tea?

Others didn't care about Shen Xuan's request for tea, but Wu Jun did. He never let go of any troubles related to these distinguished guests.Even at this moment, he still had a headache and couldn't tell the difference between the fragrances that had just passed by.But when Shen Xuan asked for tea, his mind was no longer on the incense.

Wu Jun thought, why did he suddenly ask for tea at this moment?The Tang family was very considerate, it was impossible for these young masters not to serve them properly when they were seated, it stands to reason that Shen Xuan and the others would serve tea as soon as they were seated.Wu Jun felt a little strange, wanted to look up, but was afraid of being caught by the butler's poisonous eyes, so he could only prick up his ears and pay special attention to the conversation between Shen Xuan and the butler.

After a while, the housekeeper served tea to Shen Xuan.Shen Xuan took the pair and blew twice, and asked seemingly unintentionally, "Last time, your young master led us to the library to see the winning prizes. There are so many treasures in the library."

"If Young Master Xuan takes a fancy to any treasure, just say it."

Shen Xuan smiled, "I don't want any baby, give me a baby, it's better to give me a beauty." He put down the tea in his hand without drinking it, but did not cover the tea, but put the tea cover beside the tea bowl .

Lin Ming, who was staring at Pei Ling on the side, heard Shen Xuan talking about the warehouse of the Tang family, and talking about treasures. He thought that Shen Xuan was beating around the bush again, implying that he had taken the key card, so he gave Shen Xuan a cross look. "Be quiet, okay?" After giving Shen Xuan a sharp look, Lin Ming looked back at Pei Ling who was frowning tightly, and his heart tightened, "Don't disturb us so that we can't think."

Shen Xuan snorted through his nose, glanced at Lin Ming who hurriedly turned his attention away after giving himself a quick look, and felt that this person was getting less and less cute.In this comparison, Zhao Ming is more obedient.After thinking about it, Shen Xuan went to see Zhao Ming.

Zhao Ming glanced at the tea bowl in front of Shen Xuan, the tea lid was standing beside the tea bowl, this is not a tea house, what does he mean by doing this?

Zhao Ming looked at Shen Xuan with a puzzled face. Shen Xuan didn't move, but looked at him jokingly with the corners of his lips slightly raised. There was no worry on his face for Zhao Ming. On the contrary, it was more like saying, just look at him Let's see if we can connect.

This is not the time to joke around!Zhao Ming roared inwardly, angry and impatient, he didn't even want to look at Shen Xuan again, his eyes shifted slightly, and he saw the butler standing beside Shen Xuan, and recalled the conversation between Shen Xuan and the butler again.

Why don't you want a baby in a good way?Zhao Ming pondered this sentence for a couple of times, suddenly realized, and turned around to play cards.Seeing that he understood, Shen Xuan smiled slightly, thinking that he and himself were somewhat similar, and the housekeeper at the side looked at Shen Xuan calmly.

Shen Xuan's voice was neither high nor low, many people heard it, and when it comes to beauty, they naturally think of Sai Tianxian.There are already those who discarded their cards and gave up at the table, so naturally they don’t have to be afraid of the butler’s monitoring, and they blatantly look at Sai Tianxian with disdainful eyes, and some are still struggling, not daring to squint, but they are jealous in their hearts, but they have to suppress them, restrain their faces, and distort their faces The posture is embarrassing.

Pei Ling felt all of these direct or concealed inadequacies. Although the room was still quiet, it was no longer a quiet environment. People were noisy. Pei Ling was very worried that Sai Tianxian's mood would be disturbed.He carefully observed Sai Tianxian's face, it was still pale, but it didn't seem to be because of the environment.

Pei Ling saw that his face was serious, and he was still immersed in the lingering fragrance that had just passed away. Relying on that little lingering fragrance and memory, he was still trying his best to distinguish the similarities and differences in those fragrances.Seeing him like this, Pei Ling felt relieved and then worried again.Rest assured is that he is not disturbed by others, and worry is that he is worried that he will be mentally exhausted if he is so serious. He is already weak, how can he hold on?

Just when Pei Ling was worried, Sai Tianxian, who had not moved at all, finally moved, and he began to stretch out his hand to pinch the cards.

Is this a conclusion in mind?Pei Ling swallowed, not daring to ask directly, and clenched her fists to watch Sai Tianxian unhurriedly prepare to play cards.

Here, Sai Tianxian was playing cards, except for Zhao Ming whose answer was revealed, the rest of the people felt unbalanced because of Shen Xuan's words of asking for a "beauty".Speaking of which, it was Wu Jun who planted the seeds of jealousy in their hearts. It was Wu Jun's previous instigation that convinced everyone that Sai Tianxian was the default winner by betraying his appearance.

However, when everyone was crazily jealous, the instigator Wu Jun was only thinking of another meaning in Shen Xuan's words.

Weird, weird, really weird.Wu Jun pinched his chin as if thinking, what others care about is the beauty in Shen Xuan's words, but what Wu Jun cares about is the treasure in Shen Xuan's words.Well done, why mention a baby all of a sudden?

Wu Jun couldn't figure it out, and finally couldn't hold back his quick glance at the high platform. Fortunately, the butler was looking at Shen Xuan, and Shen Xuan was looking at the audience. He glanced roughly at the direction Shen Xuan was looking at. The incense seat where the angels sit.

Seeing that the housekeeper did not monitor the people on the incense table, Wu Jun took the courage to look twice before turning his eyes away.Shen Xuan's eyes are ambiguous, so don't think too much, he believes that what Shen Xuan is looking at is Sai Tianxian, so he doesn't pay much attention to Shen Xuan, what he pays attention to is the cup of tea that Shen Xuan asked the butler just now.He suddenly ordered a cup of tea, which was as strange as Shen Xuan's mention of a precious beauty for no reason.

Wu Jun saw that when Shen Xuan put down the tea, the tea cover was standing beside the tea bowl, which meant credit in the teahouse, but now at Tang's house, there was no such thing as credit.

"If you want to connect the front and back." Wu Jun muttered alone, "Do you want to pay on credit or not baby? Do you want to pay on credit or not?" While reading, he suddenly realized, "If you want to pay on credit or not, that is She? It looks very similar. He also said he wanted a beauty, so could it be...a poppies?!"

At the same time when Wu Jun suddenly realized, Sai Tianxian also set up the wooden boards, erected two wooden boards on the table, placed two horizontal wooden boards on top of the vertical wooden boards, and then continued down to erect two more wooden boards. , There are still two horizontal wooden signs on the two vertical wooden signs.From Pei Ling's point of view, Sai Tianxian put four "T" characters on the table.

Seeing that it was almost time, the housekeeper took a look at everyone at the table, except for those who gave up, the rest were all in disorder.Among them, there are only three people who still look good, these three people are Sai Tianxian, Zhao Ming, and Wu Jun, and they all set up four "T" characters with wooden signs on the table.

The housekeeper was not surprised that Sai Tianxian was able to show it. Zhao Ming was able to show it all because of Shen Xuan's hint, but it was a bit surprising that Wu Jun could accurately guess the housekeeper. He had no impression of Wu Jun before, and this person is really not outstanding. On the other hand, the craftsmanship in the first incense meeting before was quite satisfactory and barely passed the passing line. I didn't expect that he would participate in the last incense meeting with the other two in the end.

The housekeeper wanted to test it out, so he asked him, "What song to sing?"

Wu Jun replied nervously, "Sing <Poppy>."

After answering, Wu Jun held his breath and waited for the butler's sentence, thinking in his heart, it should be right.Wu Jun heaved a sigh of relief when the strings sounded and the singing sounded. Sure enough, he guessed right, it was Yu Meiren.

Poppy, double tone, two rhymes for the front and back, and two flat rhymes.Because it is a double tone, the eight people are divided into two rows. The incense held by the eight people in the two rows is different, and the two are the same.

After the song was over, the housekeeper announced, "Everyone, you've worked hard, and then you can go back to your room to rest. If you have any requests, please feel free to ask. Mr. Zhao, Mr. Wu, Mr. Sai and his accompanying Mr. Gu, can participate in the third round as well." This is the last incense meeting, and the final winner will be determined at that time."

The second incense session ended just like that. When Pei Ling heard that they had successfully passed the test and entered the final session, his first reaction was to go and see Sai Tianxian.Sai Tianxian smiled at him tiredly, his body was tilted to the point of falling, Pei Ling hurried up to help him.

If the previous incense session was strenuous, then this one is simply exhausting.In fact, at the end, Sai Tianxian was unable to play cards for a long time. It was not because he couldn't distinguish the incense, but because he couldn't hold on. He was trying hard to force himself, and now he heard the result announced by the housekeeper, he had been forcing himself to let go, and the sense of burnout directly swallowed him.

But fortunately, he didn't have to hold on when it was over, because he had nothing to worry about, and he relaxed boldly, because Pei Ling was here, and he knew that after the end, he would still have Pei Ling to rely on.

Seeing that he was so tired, Pei Ling wanted to ask him if he was okay?But he didn't dare to ask him, because he was afraid that if he asked, Sai Tianxian would waste his energy to answer.At the time of distinguishing incense, for fear of disturbing his mood, he kept holding back and didn't ask him if he was alright. Looking at it now, he was actually not well at that time, and he was really guilty and remorseful. After hesitating, Pei Ling decided to take the I asked if I didn't ask.

"Are you okay, fairy?"

The way Sai Tianxian opened his mouth was only better than that of Qi Ruoyousi. Before he could make a sound, he heard the butler announce again, "Those who fail to pass this incense meeting will live in the current yard for the time being. Don't be busy." Let’s go. The three winners can go inside and enter another courtyard.”

Some people wondered, "Those who fail, don't they have to leave the Tang family?"

The butler smiled and replied, "No, because the theme of the third incense meeting is Hexiang, please stay and be a judge."
