The Evil King's Favorite Concubine: Genius Perfumer

Chapter 108 Drumming and Passing Flowers ([-])

"The maid just now was sneaking around behind."

"what?"

Gan Tiantian was chatting with Lian Wuyou, when he heard Ji Bingyun's words, his heart shuddered.

It seems that there is something wrong with that maidservant.

"You will be careful later."

It is very rare for Ji Bingyun to remind her like this. He has always watched all kinds of things she encounters with cold eyes.

For example, she exposed a liar in the incense market, and he thought she was nosy.

But now he said it solemnly.

"Xiao Ji, do you see anything else?"

"Not for the time being, I just feel that something is not right today...Anyway, be careful."

If Ji Bingyun was usually mean and venomous, Gan Tiantian would be quite used to it.He was speaking vaguely now, Gan Tiantian had no choice but to raise his vigilance, because this proved that Ji Bingyun really felt something.

Anyway, Ji Bingyun is also a ghost, so her intuition should be more reliable... Although she and he often forget this point.

"Is the maid still behind us?"

"No. Nobody."

After saying this sentence, Ji Bingyun didn't speak any more along the way.

With Lian Wuyou leading the way, they arrived at Dingxiang Building smoothly.

"Hey, Tiantian, are you here?"

Unexpectedly, Lian Chuxiao was standing on the small flat in front of Dingxiang Building, talking to people, and was surprised to see Lian Wuyou and Gan Tiantian coming over.

"I met Miss Gan on the road just now, so I brought her here... What are you doing?"

Lian Wuyou thought that the girl had already entered the building.Lian Chuxiao smiled and said, "Brother, the incense fighting won't start until a while later. We discussed playing the drums and passing flowers... Just in time, Tiantian is also here, why don't you come with me? They insist on dragging me there."

The "they" that Lian Chuxiao mentioned were naturally some daughters of similar status to her in the Yujiang Mansion.Gan Tiantian doesn't quite understand what kind of game they want to play "Drumming and Passing Flowers" - of course, the literal meaning is understood, but the game of "Drumming and Passing Flowers" is too ever-changing, the main reason is... whoever receives the flowers compares?
"It's also Douxiang."

Lian Chuxiao glanced over there, and said to Gan Tiantian in a low voice: "Tiantian, can you help me? When the time comes, we will sit together. If I receive flowers and don't know how to answer them, you can help me." Hee hee hee."

"...Please don't have so much confidence in me!"

Gan Tiantian was ashamed.

She just showed off at the Lianjiaxiang meeting, and made the Lianjia's Ninth Miss think that she was better than her?Completely forgot that she was a Xiangfang apprentice?

"Well, it's just a game, it won't be difficult."

Lian Chuxiao coquettishly took her hand, acting like a child.

Uh……

"Xiao Ji, I won't be able to answer the question then, can I ask you for help outside the venue?"

"Don't think about it."

Ji Bingyun refused coldly, but based on Gan Tiantian's understanding of him, this blunt reaction meant...he was just being arrogant.

"OK then."

Gan Tiantian was very helpless.That's okay, she just came here to play with Lian Chuxiao, she couldn't get in unless Lian Chuxiao entered the building.

Although Qiulian Wuyou can probably enter, but this kind of favor should be less owed, and everyone is not that familiar... right?
Lian Wuyou went into the Clove Tower by himself first.Lian Chuxiao dragged Gan Tiantian to those female companions, and introduced them as his little sisters.

Those four or five daughters are all eye-catching, who can't see that Gan Tiantian's family status is not as good as them?But they can be brought to this kind of occasion by their elders to socialize, and their quality and education are not too bad, even if they look down on Gan Tiantian in their hearts, they won't say it.

Gan Tiantian was held arm by Lian Chuxiao, and followed the crowd to a small pavilion nearby.

It is said that the Fragrance Fight in Clove Tower will take a few quarters of an hour to start, and they plan to play two rounds of drumming and passing flowers first.This kind of impromptu fighting between daughters in the boudoir is very common at this time, but it is quite new to Gan Tiantian who is new to this circle.

Some of Lian Chuxiao's female companions are the daughters of the chief steward of Yujiang Xiangfang, some are the daughters of fellow acquaintances from a certain prefecture in Yujiang Prefecture, and some are girls from a scholarly family.

Most of these girls were two or three years older than the two of them, between twelve and fifteen years old, and they were all well-groomed and well-spoken.

Gan Tiantian watched their exchange coldly for a while, and felt that these girls were fairly peaceful, so there shouldn't be any unpleasantness, right?
Wen Shanlian, the lady in charge of Yujiang Xiangfang, called her maid to beat the beat and act as the drummer for "beating the drums".

The rules are very simple. In order to take care of Gan Tiantian, Miss Wen explained it to her, which moved Gan Tiantian.This Wen girl is really careful.

"Okay, okay, let's start!" The daughter of Juren, Qin Ling, was impatient, and couldn't wait to urge everyone to start playing the game.

"Lingling, what are you in a hurry for...Okay, Lianxiang, you can start now."

The maid named Lianxiang, after hearing her lady's order, hurriedly clapped her hands to beat the time.All the girls smiled and passed a bunch of freshly picked flowers to each other, and I passed them to you.

Some people move very quickly, throwing it like a hot potato, such as Lian Chuxiao.Some people take it over and pass it on unhurriedly, such as Moon Sun-ryeon.

In fact, when it comes to family knowledge, Lian Chuxiao, a direct descendant of the Xiangyao family, should be far superior to all the talents present.But everyone knows that her level in Xiang Dao is really average, so no one laughed at her for running away from the trick in a hurry.

Lianxiang obviously often beats the time for her master, and she beats very rhythmically, like singing a song.Just when Gan Tiantian delivered the flowers to Lian Chuxiao, the tempo suddenly stopped!
"Oh, sister training!"

Everyone laughed.

Isn't it funny that the person who wants to escape the most is the first to get caught?
Lian Chuxiao had a bitter face, looked at the flowers in her hands and then at Gan Tiantian, with words written all over her face: "Tiantian, can't you hold the flowers tightly and not pass them on to me?"

Conscience of heaven and earth, how could Gan Tiantian know that the beat would stop at this moment?

"Come, come, pick a topic, pick a topic."

Wen Shanlian pursed her lips and smiled, and handed the package of papers borrowed from Dingxiang Building to her.

"Ugh……"

Now that things are up to now, Lian Chuxiao is not good at repaying his debts, so he can only continue to frown and start drawing questions.

"Ah... it's okay, it's okay!"

Unfolding the inscription, Lian Chuxiao actually smiled: "Recite poems, this one is okay!"

Everyone turned their heads to take a look. It turned out that the topic Lian Chuxiao got was to recite a poem related to the incense burner.This topic is really too simple!

Both male and female members of the Lian family will be enlightened before the age of seven. Lian Chuxiao has finished studying "Poetry of a Thousand Families" early, and usually reads a lot of miscellaneous books.

At this time, she didn't think for too long, and immediately came up with an ancient word.

"Jade bricks and flowers are bright and bright, and Zhu Fei is the mayor of the day. It's hard to sleep if you don't go to bed in the cold night, and the incense burner is cold in the pavilion.

The waning moon mows the mausoleum anvil, not passing news but teasing feelings.Under the golden window, there was a sudden shock, and the recruiter returned to Ermaosheng. "

This is a poem by Li Jing, the empress of the Southern Tang Dynasty.The spring is bright and beautiful, and the flowers are full of flowers. The boudoir should have come to the courtyard to enjoy the spring scenery.But the wealthy family is closed all day long, and the boudoir stays at home, and has no intention of enjoying the spring, so it can be seen that they are in an extremely bad mood.Lovesick so much, I want to see it in a dream, but the dream is hard to come true.Misery is a room deep.The sound of the anvil bursts under the moon, but the news of recruitment is still unknown.The sound of the anvil not only smashed her missing woman's heart, but also aroused her longing for Zhengren who was far away in Liaoyang.Because the bright moon shines on both Liaoyang and hometown, the full moon naturally thought of reuniting with Zhengren.

Qin Ling's father was a juror, and she often read books with her father and elder brother, but at this moment she shook her head and said, "Oh, sister Lian, although you have an incense burner in the word...but it's too inappropriate for He Ru today. When the spring flowers are in full bloom, your words are too sad..."

Lian Chuxiao was not convinced: "Anyway, I posted the question!"

Xu Yun'er, daughter of the same prefect, was the oldest, so she came out to preside over justice and said, "Okay, okay, Lingling, don't ask too much. How old is Lian's younger sister? How many poems can she recite?"

Gan Tiantian thinks this, although it doesn't really sound like exaggerating Chuxiao, but it is still a relief.And Xu Yuner's attitude seems quite friendly, uh, it shouldn't be irony, right?
"Xiao Ji, do you still have this kind of Douxiang? I thought Douxiang was just Douxiang Fang and Xiangpin."

"It's all child's play."

Ji Bingyun was very disdainful: "They are all Ye Gong's good dragons. Where can they taste good fragrance, they can only play in this kind of trivial path."

"Don't be so cold all the time..."

When Gan Tiantian and Ji Bingyun were bickering, two people suddenly walked in outside the pavilion.

"Ah, what a coincidence, everyone is playing drumming and passing flowers?"

Jiang Xue came in with a charming smile, and beside her was naturally... Ji Baoxun.

"Let's join in too, shall we?"

When Jiang Xuejiao made this request suddenly, Gan Tiantian's heart skipped a beat.

It was no surprise that these two appeared outside the Clove Building, but Gan Tiantian, who had just experienced the "lost" incident, had instinctively been alert to Jiang Xuejiao and Ji Baoxun.

She quickly looked behind the two of them, but didn't see the strange maid.

Did she and Ji Bingyun wrong them?

"Okay, okay."

The enthusiastic Qin Ling immediately took Ji Baoxun's hand and asked her to take a seat.She didn't know Jiang Xuejiao who had lived in Deling County for many years, but Ji Baoxun must have known her, and had several contacts.

"Sister Baoxun, you master should let us more!"

"Oh, when Bao Xun comes, we're going to show our ugliness."

"Why don't you be the referee, Baoxun?"

Everyone didn't want to flatter the Ji family, but they obviously recognized Ji Baoxun's reputation as a "genius girl".Even Lian Chuxiao, who had a normal relationship with her, never dared to deny that she was far superior to him in the way of incense.

"Everyone is too polite."

After being courted by everyone for a while, the glamorous Ji Baoxun raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said modestly.

It's just her expression, but it doesn't match this modest sentence at all.

"Come on, shall we start again?"

Wen Shanlian signaled to Lianxiang to keep time.

Gan Tiantian lowered his head.
