Happy peasant girl

Chapter 172
Although Linqingxi also tastes tea, she only tastes Pu'er, Longjing, and Biluochun, which are not available in Wu and Chu.Just now, she was worried that Bai Hua would not be able to pass the test, but she didn't expect him to have two tricks.

"I've drank it before!" Bai Hua said with a smile. He didn't drink much tea, but the unique Yunlai tea in the south of Wu country was his father's favorite drink.

"Fortunately, you drank it, otherwise we would have slept on the street!" Finally arrived at Wu Guo's capital, and lived in the opposite side of Wanxiang Pavilion, Lin Qingxi's nervousness all the way finally calmed down.

Because of Empress Dowager Wu's birthday, the street was more lively than ever, but the people in Linqingxi were not in the mood to hang out. They were all lying in the guest room of the Su Zhai Building and sleeping soundly, and they could only do things when they had enough energy.

Lin Qingxi slept until breakfast the next day, got up and took a bath, feeling extremely comfortable all over her body.Then, she continued to put on the clothes of the servant boy, and went to the Wanxiang Pavilion opposite the Suzhai Building with a radiant face.

The Wu royal family attached great importance to Buddhism, and the current Wu emperor especially believed in Buddhism, and even gave himself a Buddhist name, Longmen Layman.

His younger brother, Lord Ning, is also a Buddha-respecting person, and he is addicted to incense. He often spends tens of thousands of gold in search of good incense, and has done a lot of ridiculous things for it. He is the "ridiculous prince".

The Wanxiang Pavilion opposite the Suzhai Building was built by Prince Ning. There are herbs, fragrant woods, and fragrant flowers from all over the world gathered in it. He found all the strong and unique fragrances and made them into sachets. Incense burners, incense candles, Buddhist incense, and Buddhist beads.

It is said that the Buddhist beads worn by many monks in the royal temples of the State of Wu were consecrated by Prince Ning. Because of this, although the things in Wanxiang Pavilion are scary expensive, there are still many rich and powerful families in the capital. Spend money to buy.

As long as there is something close to the Buddha, no matter how worthless things are, they can be worth thousands of gold. Lin Qingxi thinks that the absurd prince in everyone's eyes is a shrewd man who knows how to do business, and this Wanxiang Pavilion can help him earn a lot of money. No wonder he spent 10 taels of gold to find the best herbs and spices in the world.

The staff of Wanxiang Pavilion have been paying attention to Baihua and Linqingxi, the master and servant, for a long time. When they saw them, they just looked around. There was neither surprise nor disdain in their eyes. Circle the things in Wanxiang Pavilion, then turn around and leave.

"Guest officer, please wait!" The clerk of Wanxiang Pavilion suddenly shouted to stop Bai Hua and Lin Qingxi.

"Is there something wrong?" Bai Hua turned around and asked in confusion.

"Did this young master not find the incense he likes?" Is it ignorance or a little skill, the guys from Wanxiang Pavilion decided to give them a try.

"No, I don't know much about incense. It's just that my wife likes sachets, but the sachets here don't have the color she likes. I'll go to another house to have a look." Bai Hua said shyly.

"It's okay, it's okay, the color of my sachet is indeed missing!" Selling sachets is not the main business of Wanxiang Pavilion, so there are indeed few colors and styles of sachets here, and the staff thinks that Bai Hua is an ignorant layman.

Walking out of the Wanxiang Pavilion and returning to the Suzhai Building, Bai Hua closed the door and asked Lin Qingxi who was sitting by the window: "Girl, how is the fragrance of the Wanxiang Pavilion?"

"The herbs and spices are really good, and the censer and other things are also carefully crafted. The Buddhist beads made of fragrant wood look good, but the fragrance may not last for a long time." Lin Qingxi said truthfully.

"Then how does the best fragrant wood in Wanxiang Pavilion compare with agarwood?" Bai Hua asked again.

"The difference between cloud and mud!" After strolling around the Wanxiang Pavilion, Lin Qingxi became more confident in the agarwood in his hand.

"Girl, I have always wanted to ask you a question?" Jasmine and Qiangwei stayed in the room without speaking. At this time, Lin Qingxi said that the incense they have now is much better than the incense in Wanxiang Pavilion. Many, it can be seen that this time the championship is expected.

"What's the problem?" Lin Qingxi asked back.

"If we win the leader this time, how will we bring back the 10 taels of gold?" Jasmine is in charge of all the money in Linqingxi. If Douxiang wins the gold this time, so much gold will be brought back from Wu to Chu , but not easy to bring.

"Who said we have to take it back, you don't think it is too heavy!" 10 taels of gold is several tons, and it is not easy to pull it even with a modern truck. Besides, she is not so ostentatious, or she has not seen gold yet. , it is estimated that my life will be gone.

"Then let's..." Jasmine didn't turn her head around for a moment.

"I don't like heavy gold. I prefer bank notes that can be withdrawn anywhere, and the ones with small amounts are the best, ha ha!" Lin Qingxi said with a smile.

"Jasmine is so stupid, she only thinks about gold and forgets about the bank notes, ha ha!" Jasmine said, knocking herself on the head.

That's right, why do you have to bring 10 taels of gold back to Chu State, and you can just bring the bank notes that you can get at the bank of Chu State? ?Jasmine's troubles came again.

Two days passed quickly, and a square platform was temporarily set up in front of Wanxiang Pavilion. On the day of the official Douxiang competition, Linqingxi and his party watched from the third-floor window of Suzhai Building. The situation below The view is unobstructed and the view is wide.

There are many people in the world who love and sell incense, but there are not many people who are willing to trek across mountains and rivers for 10 taels of gold. The incense has long been taken into Wanxiang Pavilion by Prince Ning.

Of course, there are still people like Linqingxi who come here specifically for 10 taels of gold. Not all the world's wonderful fragrances are in the hands of Lord Ning, and the news of this fight for fragrances has been scattered three or four months ago. After going out, there are quite a few people watching the fun now.

Lin Qingxi found that Lord Guolun and Mr. Han Xiao were among them, and among the incense connoisseurs that Lord Ning invited today was someone she was familiar with, that was Kong Chen who had met once in the small bamboo courtyard in the capital. Grandmaster.

In addition to Master Kongchen, Lord Ning also invited Master Yiqiu from Longhuang Temple and Master Wuhui from Longen Temple. And inexplicably more solemn and eye-catching.

"Why did Prince Ning of the Wu Kingdom invite three Buddhist masters to participate in the affairs in the world of mortals?" Qiangwei and Jasmine stood on both sides of the Linqing River, watching three monks in cassocks appear in the Douxiang On the stage of the competition, they looked awkward.

"I don't know what this Prince Ning wants to do! Qiangwei, go and call Baiyang over!" Lin Qingxi also had the same thoughts as Jasmine and Qiangwei, and she also felt that Master Kong Chen and the others appeared a little strange.

After a while, Bai Yang and Qiangwei walked in.
