Chapter 112
Dingxiang Building is next to Qujiang, with a four-story building and a dazzling shape.
Standing downstairs, Gan Tiantian could already imagine what a pleasure it would be to stand against the wind in the corridors on the third and fourth floors, overlooking the beautiful scenery of Qujiang.
I think this building used to be the favorite building of the former owner of Weiyuan, so both the location and the architectural style are perfect.Now the Yujiang Mansion uses it as the place for the Yujiang Fragrance Association to fight incense, and it complements each other.
"On the third floor?"
Gan Tiantian walked up with the daughters, and saw that the doors of the pavilions on the first and second floors were closed.
Lian Chuxiao explained to his friend that the first floor was empty, the second floor was divided into several small rooms, where the original host entertained guests, and the third and fourth floors were the spacious halls.
Dingxiang Building has an elegant name, but it is actually very majestic, especially when Gan Tiantian walked up to the door on the third floor and looked in, he felt a sense of openness and stretching.
The large windows on all four sides are all open, and the beautiful scenery of Qujiang is seamlessly connected with the hall, which is truly picturesque.
"A lot of people..."
Gan Tiantian admired secretly in his heart, but Ji Bingyun did not mock her that bumpkins are rare and strange.
It's been a long time since this scene happened.
After more than 20 years...
Ji Bingyun fell into a brief sigh of nostalgia, but Gan Tiantian listened with interest to Lian Chuxiao's introduction of the Douxianghui.
As she saw, apart from leaving a large open space in front of the hall, the seats are divided into three rows, and those in the front row are the most authoritative industry elites today.
In Gan Tiantian's words - that is today's judges and teachers!
In the past, both Ji Bingyun and Master Qiao had emphasized to her many times how many thresholds to pass from an apprentice to a perfumer.
After she became an apprentice of a folk incense shop in the county like her, she performed well after studying for several years. Only when she was recommended by the owner of the incense shop and the master teacher, could she participate in the annual county-level fragrance evaluation and enter the county-level incense shop.
In Deling County, it means entering Deling Xiangfang.
After studying in the county-level Xiangfang for one year, the apprentices pass the "craftsman" assessment, and then they are eligible to squeeze into only three promotion places each year.Unless there is an adventure, promotion through "special recommendation" will not be restricted by quota... This is basically an empty door reserved for privileged people, such as local wealthy families like the Jiang family.
The higher the level, the harder the test.It is very hard to go from Deling Xiangfang to the government-level Yujiang Xiangfang, from a craftsman to a perfumer.
Many people can't cross this door in their entire lives.Like the masters in Yujinfang, they didn't succeed.Aunt Chen, who appreciates Gan Tiantian, is unwilling to be a craftsman for the rest of her life, and wants to challenge again in her 30s.
Every year, there are only seven places in Xijiang Province to enter Yujiang Xiangfang.To enter Yujiang Xiangfang, one must not only be recommended by three prefectural-level perfumers and recognized representative works, but also have once won the top three in the prefectural-level perfume competition.
Today's Yujiang Fragrance Fair is a big day for perfumers to compete.
As an unstressed onlooker, Gan Tiantian easily asked who were the people sitting in the front row.
Lian Chuxiao lowered his voice and introduced to her, it turns out that everyone is a great person.
The person in the official uniform is naturally the local parent official, the magistrate of Yujiang Qu Zhengxing Qu adults.Looking from a distance, Gan Tiantian could only see three neatly trimmed long beards on his face, but he felt that this gentleman should be under 40 years old... he is an official of the middle-aged school, right?
Sitting on the left and right of him is Xie Yizhen, the owner of the provincial incense workshop and Xijiang incense workshop.This master Xie Fang is a very famous perfumer himself, and he still has a part-time job in the Beijing Shangyao Bureau.The other is Lin Qingyang, the owner of the government-level incense workshop and Yujiang incense workshop. He is actually a little older than Xie Yizhen, but his appearance is also very elegant. He looks like a celebrity in his green shirt and scarf.
Those who can be the head of a local incense shop must be perfumers themselves.As for strength and fame, there must be a difference.
Among those who sat down again, three were perfumers from Xijiang Xiangfang and Yujiang Xiangfang.One of them was a well-maintained middle-aged woman. Lian Chuxiao said that this was the leader of female perfumers in Xijiang Province, named Huashang.The two perfumers in Yujiang Xiangfang are a man and a woman. The man's name is Ying Yuqiao, and the woman's name is Yan Bishuang.
In addition to the officials and perfumers, there are two old men with white beards and hair in the front row, who can be seen as veterans of the literary world.It is said that these two celebrities, both of whom are over seventy years old, had both been officials in the capital back then.Now that he has retired and returned to his hometown, he has not completely retired. Because he loves and understands fragrance, he is often invited to participate in such elegant activities.
"Xiao Ji, do you know them?"
"Well, half of them. I don't know the younger ones." The so-called young is also a relative term.Those perfumers in their thirties, when Ji Bingyun was in glory, they were still young apprentices carrying bags in the warehouse.
This is the authoritative person sitting in the first row, and the second row is reserved for those important guests.
No need for Lian Chuxiao's introduction, Gan Tiantian had already seen Lian Wuyou, and Lian Wuyou nodded slightly at them.
"The one next to your fifth brother is..."
"It's the son of the Ji family."
It turned out that the 20-something-year-old boy with a somewhat feminine appearance was the eldest son of Ji Jinyun, the current head of the Ji family, and also Ji Baolin, the legendary future successor of the Ji family.
Gan Tiantian subconsciously looked at Ji Bingyun's reaction, but heard Ji Bingyun say something calmly: "He has grown so big. I hugged him once when I was a child."
Sure enough, they are relatives.
Those who sat with Lian Wuyou Ji Baolin were naturally those from official families and wealthy families.There are also some people dressed as scribes, who are also arranged in the second row.
The third row has the most seats and is crowded with people.Gan Tiantian and the others were settled in the third row by the reception servants.Only Ji Baoxun walked in the direction of Ji Baolin in the second row with his head raised.
Jiang Xuejiao followed closely behind without hesitation.
Qin Ling was the fastest, glanced at the corner of her mouth and said in a low voice: "She is also worthy..."
Randomly, Wen Shanlian pulled his sleeves and stopped talking.
It's just that everyone's eyes expressed the same disdain as Qin Ling.This girl... knows that she and Ji Baoxun are good friends, but Ji Baoxun is a talented girl from the Ji family, and she is qualified to sit in front of this kind of incense and taste it.She is a girl from a county town, so what if she is a relative of the princess?It's not the princess' own daughter!
As soon as Gan Tiantian and his party took their seats, they heard the clear and crisp beating of bells and chimes in front of them.It turned out that Master Xie of Xijiang Xiangfang knocked on the small yellow bell in front of him, signaling everyone to be quiet, and the incense fighting meeting is about to start
The venue quickly quieted down, and everyone sat quietly, holding their breath, waiting for Master Xie to introduce the list of perfumers who will be competing today.
"I'm about to meet the legendary Douxiang..."
Infected by the atmosphere of the scene, Gan Tiantian gradually began to feel a little nervous and excited.
