Chapter 169
He was rambling on, Lan You stared fixedly at him with surprise in his eyes.It turned out that the spices that Su Wenxiang mentioned were exactly the same, and they were exactly the fragrances from 'Under the Bodhi Tree'.But when he sniffed the fragrance formula that he had worked so hard to research, he immediately said that there is nothing more strange than this in the world.Lan You was successful at a young age, and she was extremely conceited about this "Under the Bodhi Tree". At this moment, Su Wenxiang dismissed her as worthless with a few words. Once the thought of surprise passed, the thought of anger came up again, her cheeks were hot, as if she had been hit by someone.

Once Su Wenxiang fell into the way of incense, he was so focused that he didn't notice the other person's mood at all. He twitched his giant nose, sniffed "Under the Bodhi Tree" and then "Poppy", shaking his head again and again: "This one is even worse. The medicine is really a failure, and there is too much frankincense, which is a big taboo for Hexiang. As for Su Hexiang, it is not bad, without it, this fragrance dog will not smell it..." Lan Hearing this, You lost all demeanor suddenly, and cursed: "You are the dog!"

When Su smelled the incense, all his energy was on his nose, his eyes couldn't see, his ears couldn't hear, even if the beautiful woman's scolding fell into his ears, it was still buzzing, like mosquitoes and flies.She scolded her for a while, and I sniffed mine and said, "The scent of flowers here is not bad, but the narcissus is too light, the rose is too heavy, the jasmine is too strong, and the hyacinth is too brittle. Well, this rosin is wonderful. , Without it, it's like eating without salt..."

Su Wenxiang said all the way, Lan You was startled first and then angry, angry and then startled, looking at the strange man in front of her, gradually showing an air of fear. The aroma of "Poppy Poppy" is subtle and complex, Su Wenxiang said confidently, the spices mentioned are absolutely exhaustive, and it makes sense as to how strong or light it is.In a daze, Su Wenxiang finished sniffing "Poppy Poppy", and then sniffed "Yueyue Liujin", and said: "Yueyue Liujin, the fragrance is vulgar, but the name is very good. Among the three fragrances, this one is the best. What's the good thing?" Fortunately, there is a commander in incense, and musk is the commander in charge of all incense. Combining incense is like a combination of medicines, and we must pay attention to the ruler, minister and assistant. Fragrance has spirituality, and we must not regard it as a dead thing. Director. In this fragrance, although the musk is light, it is condensed and lingering. It is like a general and a phase, controlling one side; the smell of ageratum, agarwood, chicken tongue, green wood, and rose is strong, like a general conquering; purple flowers, white sandalwood, Tulips, incense sticks, etc., have a relatively clear smell, like a messenger, so this fragrance can coexist without conflicting. It has the clear light of the moon and the luxury of a feast, but..."

When he said this, he twitched his huge nose, and a trace of confusion flashed across his face.Seeing his expression, Lan You's heart beat fast for no reason, her cheeks were stained with a blush, she couldn't help but stammered, "It's just...just what?"

Su Wenxiang's huge nose twitched repeatedly, and slowly said: "In this fragrance, there is one fragrance that is too much..." Lan You was shocked, and hurriedly said softly: "Sir..." Su Wenxiang raised his head, seeing her embarrassed expression, His eyes were full of pleading, and he asked in a moment of confusion: "Girl, why do you want to add 'love flower' to this incense? Although it will not spoil the incense, but this strange flower is originally an aphrodisiac, so it's fine for Grandma Qing , wouldn't it be embarrassing if the other two old gentlemen smelled it and became lustful..."

As soon as the words came out, everyone was in an uproar, and Lan You was so ashamed that she couldn't bear it.Ai Si couldn't help shouting: "You are talking nonsense, what evidence do you have to prove that there are 'love flowers' in this perfume?" Su Wenxiang has a straightforward personality, and when she heard this, she pointed to her nose and swore: "My nose is Proof, you can lie to people, but your nose can't lie to me, there is no 'love flower' in this incense, I cut off my nose and fed it to dogs..."

Ayes was speechless for a moment.Among the three judges, Mr. Ji Ran and the widow just paid it back, but Lu Buwei was shocked and angry, and he thought it was no wonder that after sniffing the fragrance, he was particularly obsessed with this "Yueyue Liujin", and also had a feeling for this fragrant girl. It turned out that the other party tampered with the incense and mixed it with aphrodisiac fragrance.If it hadn't been pointed out by this giant-nosed monster, when the judgment will be made later, it must be biased because of this ambiguous mood.The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, staring at the golden sedan chair with a gloomy expression.Ai Si hurriedly said: "Mr. Buwei, listen to me..." Lu Buwei snorted coldly, and shouted: "There is no need to talk." He grabbed the "Xuanbingwan" beside him and threw it over, "Give it back to you, old man Fate is cheap, I can't bear such a baby."

All the merchants in China snickered. Ayes was silent for a long time, then suddenly said coldly: "So what if there is a 'love flower'? Dare I ask you, is the fragrance of the flower a spice?" The widow said: "Forget it , but..." Ayise said: "Since it is a bucket fragrance, any spice can be used to make a fragrance. Is there a rule: when a fragrance is combined, aphrodisiac fragrances cannot be used?"

As soon as her trick was exposed, she simply played a rogue.Lu Buwei sighed: "Although there are no rules, please let the God of Wealth know in advance when you use the aphrodisiac incense again. I am old and old, and I can't bear such a toss." send.

Su Wenxiang leaned in front of the sandalwood frame, unscrewed a crystal bottle, sniffed it, and beamed with joy: "It's so pure apricot blossom fragrance!" Without waiting for Lan You's consent, he plugged the bottle, and sniffed the other crystal bottles one by one. He said, "This is Osmanthus, this is Cinnamon, this is Michelle, this is Ginseng, this is Hibiscus..." Every time he sniffed something, his eyes lit up and his expression was greedy, like a miser who has entered an endless treasure house, For every bottle of spices, I can't put it down.

Ai Si said impatiently: "What are the ugly bastards doing? Go away if you don't want to fight, don't get in the way here." Su Wenxiang smiled and said: "If you don't remind me, I will forget..." Turning to Lan You, "Your fragrance It's good, but it can only be smelled, not seen."

Lan You wondered: "Scent is smelled with the nose, how can the eyes see it?" Su Wenxiang said: "I mean seeing, not with the eyes, but with the heart. The most brilliant fragrance can draw fragrances in the hearts of others." Let's draw..."

Lan You felt even more unbelievable: "How to use incense to draw pictures in my heart?" Su Wenxiang smiled and said, "I borrow your spices, how about a third-grade perfume?" Although Lan You already guessed that Su Wenxiang has a strange sense of smell, she has been immersed in the way of incense for many years , was very obsessed with this, knowing that the enemy was at hand, he nodded again and again.

Su Wenxiang took out a plain white porcelain jar from his sleeve, and poured the essence on the shelf into it bit by bit. He acted cautiously, looked cautious, and kept his eyes fixed, as if he was facing an enemy.

After a while of infusion, Su Wenxiang raised the porcelain vat and shook it lightly a few times. Unknowingly, a strange fragrance permeated the valley, and if there was nothing there, it entered his nose.In an instant, everyone had a strange feeling in their hearts. The situation in front of them seemed to have changed. The blue moon was hanging high, the trees were luxuriant, and the banquet was in full swing. Close at hand, the headscarves of scribes are crooked, showing the demeanor of a madman.

This illusion comes and goes like lightning, but everyone perceives it. Although the characters in everyone's hearts are different, the general situation is the same, except for the bright moon flower tree and the madman beauty.

Su Wenxiang reached out to cover the porcelain vat, and said slowly, "Little girl, how about this product 'Yueyue Liujin'?" Lan You's face was ashen, and sighed: "Very good." Su Wenxiang turned and walked to the riverside, cleaning the porcelain vat , and then take the essence, and mix a pinch of incense, and go to the campfire to bake gently.A strange fragrance wafted out, and in an instant, a small building appeared in front of everyone's eyes. It was carved with jade railings, and the torch was shining brightly. The inside of the building was prosperous, while the autumn forest outside the building was bleak, and the moonlight upstairs was deserted. Holding an instrument in his arms, he sang low and loudly around a down-and-out man.

This phantom also flashed by, full of emotion and scenery, with a profound artistic conception. The smeller seemed to have an insight into the thoughts of the characters in the painting. This feeling is really weird.

After the strange fragrance dissipated, Su Wenxiang washed the porcelain vat to match the third fragrance.Lan You couldn't help asking: "Is this your 'Poppy'?" Su Wenxiang nodded slightly.Lan You asked again: "Why 'Ye Yue Liu Jin' does not need to be roasted, so it is naturally fragrant, but 'Ye Yue Liu Jin' needs to be roasted to smell it?" Su Wenxiang said: "'Ye Yue Liu Jin' has a frivolous fragrance, light You can smell it when you shake it lightly. 'Poppy' has a deep temperament, which cannot be released without being roasted."

While talking, the third fragrance was synthesized. Su Wenxiang tightly covered the porcelain jar with both hands, and everyone stretched their noses. After a while, there was still no fragrance coming from their noses.Strangely enough, a picture suddenly flashed in my mind, the vast mountains and fields, the luxuriant grass, a lush tree on the hillside, the thick trunk is shaped like a vase, the luxuriant branches and leaves are almost the same color as the blue sky, a monk under the tree, dressed in rags, Eyebrows drooping, he sat cross-legged, with a joyful smile on his face.

This situation came suddenly, but it took longer than the previous two pictures.After a long while, the phantom disappeared, and only a hint of faint fragrance could be smelled in the nostrils of the people.

Su Wenxiang said: "The fragrance of Buddhism focuses on the two characters of clear and empty. It is calm and remote, and it does not transform people but transforms itself. Only this kind of fragrance can be called 'Under the Bodhi Tree'."Su Wenxiang turned her head and was about to speak, when she suddenly saw Lan You staring blankly at herself with a miserable expression, two lines of tears welled up in her eyes.Su Wenxiang asked strangely: "Little girl, what's wrong with you?" Lan You smiled sadly, and saluted: "Mr. Xiang Dao beat me too much, and Lan You lost so much."

She admits defeat without waiting for judgment. Everyone admires her ambition.Suddenly she turned around and walked up to the golden sedan chair. Ran Ran knelt down and said in a shy voice: "Master, this concubine has humiliated my mission, please punish me." Too much, you should lose to him. The death penalty will be spared, and you can cut off your own hand!"

Everyone's expression changed, Lan You's face was pale, she got up slowly, took a sharp golden knife from Hu Nu beside her, closed her eyes, and chopped it down with her left hand.Su Wenxiang was startled when he saw this, he was the closest, and he threw himself together and hugged Lan You's right hand holding the knife.Lan You was surprised and said: "What are you doing?" Su Wen said the essence of fragrance, but he was ignorant of worldly affairs, and responded with a sting in his neck, and said, "Why did you cut yourself with a knife?"

Lan You sighed: "Sir, I lost to you and should be punished." Su Wenxiang showed a trace of confusion, shook his head and said: "I caused you to lose, if you want to punish, you should punish me, otherwise, you Just cut me off." He couldn't understand his reasoning, Lan You couldn't help but laugh, and said, "Okay." She put the knife in her left hand and made a gesture to cut Su Wenxiang. Although Su Wenxiang was stubborn, when he saw the knife coming, he was very scared, and suddenly grew louder. With a cry, he jumped back and stared, "You really cut me?"

Lan You smiled sadly, and the blade fell to her arm again. The blade was so fast that Su Wenxiang couldn't stop it, and had no time to exclaim, "Dang", the golden blade was hit by a stone, and it flew several feet away, with a "whoosh", into the river.

Su Wenxiang was both surprised and delighted, and in a blink of an eye, Lu Jianzheng was retracting his left foot.It turned out that Lu Jianyao saw that this beautiful girl would be crippled for life with this knife, so he couldn't bear it, so he kicked a stone and knocked the golden knife away.

Lan You looked around in a daze, not knowing where the stone came from.However, Ayes could see clearly, and said with a sneer, "Gu Zhen, I'm punishing my subordinates, why did you send someone to intervene?" Seeing Lu Jian standing behind Gu Zhen, she regarded him as Gu Zhen's subordinate, so Spoken sarcasm.

Gu Zhen originally didn't want to interfere in Ai Si's family affairs, but Lu Jian wanted to save others, so he couldn't take it easy, and said with a smile: "You and I have made a bet, if you lose, everyone but you Everything is mine, and this Lanyou girl is no exception. Since she is in my pocket, you chopped off her hand, and the price is halved. It's like playing dice. Kaibao is going to lose, but you take back five taels of silver, isn't that a bastard or something?"

Ai Si was annoyed when she heard this, and shouted sharply: "You only won a small game, so you think you have won? Gu Xiaogou, are you shameless?" Gu Zhen smiled and said: "If there is no bet, you will kill it if you want to kill it. It's all up to you. Since there is a bet, all these people and things and I have a share, so how can I watch you destroy this young master's future property?"
