The Evil King's Favorite Concubine: Genius Perfumer

Chapter 118 Catch the ducks on the shelves?
The ten craftsmen finished burning incense one by one, and the third incense fight came to an end.Not long after, Master Xie announced the ranking of the fragrances made by the ten people in public.

Lan Yingwei was indeed number one.

Even if he won the top three in the prefecture-level incense association, he cannot directly become a perfumer.But this honor is a necessary condition for passing the test.

Besides, since the Ji family is determined to praise her, Lan Yingwei's future achievements must not stop there.

"24 years old...is very young." Gan Tiantian thought to himself, whether he would be able to become a perfumer at the age of 24 is still unknown.Uh, but I'm only ten years old now?If you can't become a perfumer in ten years, then you don't need to mess around in this line, right?

"What are you thinking about? How difficult it is to be a craftsman."

Ji Bingyun was extremely dissatisfied with his disciple's lack of ambition.

twenty four?Gan Tiantian couldn't become a craftsman at the age of 24, he was going crazy!

Hurry up, hurry up, otherwise his good sister... If she can't wait for so long and falls down first, that's no good!
Although he was happy to see Ji Jinfeng unlucky, he still prefers to take revenge with his own hands... No, he can't fight in person, but he has a substitute.

While Gan Tiantian and Ji Bingyun were chatting, the Douxiang Club had come to an end.Gan Tiantian counted the time and was a little anxious, probably because the master from his incense shop had been waiting on the stage for a long time.

"Hey, Chuxiao, can we go?"

Lian Chuxiao also knew that she slipped out after reporting to her master, so she couldn't stay idle all the time, so she whispered, "Hurry up, we can leave after the old people say a few words."

The "elderly people" in her mouth not only refers to the two elders, but also refers to the prefect and other guests.Just as she said, Shi Shiran, the very personable magistrate, got up and started a whole set of flamboyant, empty and meaningless rhetoric.

Originally, according to the usual procedure, the Douxiang meeting would officially end when Qu Zhifu finished speaking.

But today is very special, because there is actually a new link.

"Hey, how optimistic is the Ji family about Lan Yingwei? Your eldest nephew actually made such a suggestion..."

"...Call him Ji Baolin!"

"All right……"

Ji Bingyun was very conflicted about Gan Tiantian's "big nephew".

Just now, Ji Baolin came forward to propose, it is rare that someone concocted such an elegant bamboo incense today, and there are many literati and writers from Yujiang Mansion here, otherwise, let Lan Yingwei light another bamboo incense, please write lyrics and compose a poem .

"Today, the singers of the Hongkao Building have already sang songs in the garden. When everyone has written good poems and lyrics, we will be able to ask the ladies of Hongkao to fill in the songs now so that we can feast our ears."

"Is that so, this year I invited the Hongkao Building? Then I have to write the first time, the new song of the lady Hongmao is not so easy to hear."

"Yes, the lady in red silk is also an elegant person who loves fragrance, but for all the famous poems, the songs she fills in are particularly fairy-like... I heard that a few years ago, the brothel team in the capital invited her to teach the songs Well, she didn't go..."

"After all, she is from Yujiang, and she is also getting old. It's hard to leave her homeland..."

The sound waves of discussion reached Gan Tiantian's ears intermittently.

Although I was a little annoyed that I couldn't leave immediately, the excitement of watching the excitement still overwhelmed other emotions, and I thought it would be a big deal to be scolded by Master Chen later when I went back.

After all, with his current "humble" status, the opportunity to visit the Douxiang Club is really very rare.

Because of Ji Bingyun, Gan Tiantian has a good impression of the former oiran Ren Hongxiao.

"Xiao Ji, your old friend seems to be doing well now."

Being honored as a "lady" by others seems to have received a lot of praise for her artistic attainments. For a singer...is it a good evening scene?Uh, even though he is only in his 40s, his evening scene is too...

"The song filled with red silk is very talented. I think after many years, it may have entered the realm of everyone."

Ji Bingyun nodded and said nothing more.

As far as Gan Tiantian thinks, in this cold guy's heart, at least the red silk can occupy a little bit of memory, oh, not bad... how to say, it can also make him stay for a while when we meet again.

Originally, Gan Tiantian thought that this kind of entertaining program would never have anything to do with him.Obviously, she is just following Lian Chuxiao to have fun, so what does such a big occasion have to do with her?

However, the development of things is often beyond people's expectations...

When famous scholars and literati wrote poems one after another, Lin Fangzhu of Yujiang Xiangfang suggested to Xie Fangzhu of Xijiang Xiangfang that some incense lovers present should also come to "fight incense".

But the content of this "Dou Xiang" is for people to smell the incense and write about it, to see who can write it more completely - what they smell, of course, is the bamboo incense that is burning in the venue.

When a new fragrance comes out, in addition to the quality of the fragrance itself, it is also important to have support.Otherwise, why did the Ji family have to work so hard to invite colleagues from all over the world to participate in the incense meeting, even the Lian family from far away in the south of the Yangtze River, in order to promote their own new flower fragrance?

Now it seems that the Ji family has made great efforts to make the reputation of Lanmei and Zhuxiang known.

Smelling fragrances and writing fragrance recipes not only does not have the problem of "disclosure" for the perfumer himself, but also has many benefits, and fame is naturally the biggest one.After all, once your fragrance is released, someone will smell it and write a prescription. The only difference is that someone will analyze it privately, and someone will taste it at an incense meeting... In fact, they are all the same.

The most important thing about fragrance blending is the various skills in blending, which are hard to smell—except for a genius master like Ji Bingyun.

"Oh, not just for Lan Yingwei."

Seeing Ji Baoxun being invited to the front row by Master Xie, Gan Tiantian suddenly realized: "Xiao Ji, they kill two birds with one stone, and they want to push Ji Baoxun up."

"Hmm. Nice idea."

When Ji Bingyun saw Ji Baoxun get up, he also figured out the key point.

Lan Yingwei is not yet a member of the Ji family.Although most of her bamboo incense recipes come from Ji's family, on the surface, she is still the perfumer of Fengrong Xiangfang.In other words, she has "no relationship" with the Ji family.

Then, it is reasonable for Ji Baoxun, who has already obtained the bamboo fragrance prescription, to write a nearly perfect fragrance prescription in the "Douxiang" of smelling and writing fragrance prescriptions.

Teaming up to cheat, killing two birds with one stone, this strategy is not bad.This time, the Ji family is secretly praising Lan Yingwei, and publicly promoting Ji Baoxun, hoping to make these two women famous in Xijiang at the same time in an incense meeting...

They're all women... um... Maybe his dear elder sister was planning this matter from the beginning to the end?It seems that my sister is walking on thin ice in the palace, and urgently needs to train some helpers to enter the palace and run errands for herself in the Shangxiang Bureau...

Or do something shady?

Ha ha……

Ji Bingyun silently calculated the possibility of Ji Jinfeng's contribution behind the scenes, but saw a waiter coming in front of Gan Tiantian.

It turned out that they didn't just invite Ji Baoxun alone.Even Wen Shanlian and... Gan Tiantian who was sitting next to Wen Shanlian were named!

"Ah I?"

Is there any mistake, is this to drive ducks to the shelves?
Gan Tiantian was dumbfounded.
