The Evil King's Favorite Concubine: Genius Perfumer

Chapter 115 Lan Meiren's Fragrant Ink
"It's so boring..."

At the end of the second incense fight, Lian Chuxiao approached Gan Tiantian and whispered.

"Would you? I think it's very interesting."

Gan Tiantian is still listening intently to the previous perfumers commenting on the seal incense produced by the craftsmen.She is so busy, and she has to listen to the comments of the perfumers and Ji Bingyun's complaints. Eyes and ears are not enough.

"Alas, I really am not the material for this. You are the best!"

Lian Chuxiao reluctantly admits that she is bad.

But she didn't really care too much about it, probably because she had long since given up her pursuit of incense.The people in the Lian family didn't demand too much from her - after all, the Lian family has a great career and many children, so it doesn't matter if she is missing to come out to support the family.

The Lian family has recently followed the path of a literati, and is working hard to send several children in the family to official careers, which will also help the family in the future.This is also the new path that Daxiang Master Lian Qiushui made for the family after he discovered that among his grandchildren in this generation, there are fewer people with the talent for perfumery.

In the Lian parents' senior plan, as long as Lian Chuxiao is cultivated into a gentle and sensible boudoir daughter, in the future she will successfully marry the children of the Shilin family and provide assistance to the family.

Another example is Lian Wuyou, who actually has limited talent in perfumery, but is very good at human relations and business operations, and is cultivated as a managerial talent.Of course, the so-called limited talents are compared with real master perfumers, and they are still outstanding among ordinary people.

"Ah, that beauty has been praised again."

Like Gan Tiantian, Lian Chuxiao paid special attention to Lan Yingwei.In fact, at least half of the people present were paying attention to this beautiful woman who performed well.

"She's also ingenious."

Gan Tiantian quoted Ji Bingyun's evaluation of Lan Yingwei.

When everyone took out seal incense with different shapes, Lan Yingwei took out incense ink.

Of course Xiangmo was not Lan Yingwei's victim.

In the previous dynasty, the ink-making process had already developed very maturely.Perfumers at that time often used musk, cloves, borneol, etc. for ink.

Ji Bingyun said that he once created the method of "making ink from oil fume", using oil fume, dipterocarp and musk to make fragrant ink, which is "Longxiang ink" specially used by the imperial court.

"I'm not boasting. The fragrant ink I made is invincible when wet, and the fragrance penetrates the bones. It is grinded to the end and the fragrance does not fade... It is called the god of ink."

Thank you, you are boasting!
Gan Tiantian knew that the fragrant ink made by Ji Bingyun could definitely be worthy of the words "a divine product in ink", but he still couldn't help but want to roll his eyes.

Can you be humble master?There is a virtue called reserve, do you understand, do you understand?
Well, he doesn't understand...

And the fragrant ink presented by this Lan beauty, although not at Ji Bingyun's level, is quite good.What's even better is that this beauty is also good at calligraphy Danqing. She grinds the fragrant ink on the spot and paints and writes poems with it. This not only fully demonstrates the quality of the fragrant ink, but also gave the judges an excellent impression.

A beauty who is skilled in perfumery and good at Danqing... who doesn't like it?
She also flatteringly asked the two old Hanlins to write inscriptions for her paintings, and the two elders were easy-going people, so they readily agreed.

Master Xie Fang was obviously also very satisfied with Lan Meiren's performance, because after the two elders inscribed Lan Meiren's calligraphy and painting, there was thunderous applause at the scene, reaching the first small climax of the day.

The Douxiang Club should not be noisy, but it would be boring if it was all dull.With contestants like Lanmeiren, the atmosphere of the venue became warmer. As the organizer, Xijiang Xiangfang certainly welcomed it.

Even the magistrate praised Lan Yingwei a few words.

At this time, everyone was discussing hotly, thinking that today's leader is probably the youngest Lanmei among the contestants.

"Oh, it seems that she is also a woman who is determined not to marry and wants to enter the palace. Maybe she will be able to enter the palace as a female official in the future!"

"Then we in Xijiang, we need another figure like Lady Ji? That's not bad!"

Everyone's discussion reached Gan Tiantian's ears, and she checked Ji Bingyun's reaction with some worry.Fortunately, it seems that Ji Bingyun's reaction to Mrs. Ji and Ji's family is not as strong as before...

But she didn't know that Ji Bingyun just hid her hatred deep in her heart.

The thought of revenge never disappeared from his heart!

"Okay, okay, it's finally time for the third round."

Wen Shanlian sat on the other side of Gan Tiantian, smiled and said to the two younger sisters: "I don't know what fragrance they will compete with? Master Xu, I heard that he has been preparing for more than half a year."

Her father is the steward of Yujiang Xiangfang, and there are often perfumers and perfumers at home as guests.The master Xu she was talking about was named Xu Zongzhi, and he was praised by several judges just now.

Although Xu Zongzhi also took out seal incense, his skills were better than the others.To use Ji Bingyun's disdainful saying, "choose the tallest among the dwarfs", in short, he can be regarded as the top among these ten people.

After all, what they want to fight for is only the top three.As long as you enter the top three, it means you have stepped into the threshold of a perfumer.

From perfumer to perfumer, this gap is very, very difficult to bridge!
"Well, Xiao Ji, they don't burn incense at the same time, do they? Then how do they compete?"

Gan Tiantian suddenly had doubts, because she saw the ten craftsmen holding out their respective incense burners.At the same time, she also remembered that Aunt Chen went to buy a Boshan furnace on purpose, just to give it a try at the incense fighting meeting.

Hope she is doing well...

Faced with Gan Tiantian's doubts, Ji Bingyun sneered a few times, and then said, "Do you think it's possible?"

Uh, it's unlikely...

It turns out that they take turns to fight, and the time for each person to burn incense is only a short stick of incense.It is really difficult for them to let the advantages of their fragrances be appreciated by authoritative perfumers in this short period of time.

Master Xie rang the bell, and the craftsmen came to the small table in front of him one after another, and began to draw lots from the tube to decide their order of battle.

Order is also important.

Burning incense early has the advantage of burning incense early. At this time, the air in the venue is pure and the incense is easier to identify.However, it may also be because he was the first to enter the battle, the judges were more conservative and gave a lower grade...

"Actually, they're all the same."

Ji Bingyun didn't care about the order, anyway, he is always the top grade among the first-class fragrances.

How could it be the same!I want to know that there is a difference.Gan Tiantian thought so, but after all he didn't participate, so he wasn't too nervous, just waiting curiously for the first craftsman to hold out his incense burner.

The third most critical competition finally began.
