    "You want to be the furnace owner?" Huaxi looked at Susukino Jiyuki and asked doubtfully, "I remember that when I met you in Dahua, I couldn't even figure out the types of spices. How can you be the furnace owner?"

    The host of the incense banquet is the stove owner, and what is tasted at the incense banquet is usually the best fragrant wood instead of incense, incense sticks and ordinary fragrant wood.  Huaxi is not worried about Susukino's inability to produce good incense wood. It's just that sensory perception and incense-using skills are necessary conditions for the owner of an incense burner. From Huaxi's understanding, Susukino seems to have neither of these two things.

    "Isn't it just that the furnace owner selects a piece of the best fragrant wood, lets everyone smell the incense in a quiet room, and finally tastes and appreciates it. Isn't the furnace owner the one in charge of incense?" Susukino Kikiyuki knew he was incompetent and muttered, "In Dahua  At that time, I attended once with my uncle. However, something happened and I left halfway."

    Hua Xi shook his head and said: "The incense banquet is neither a scent competition nor a scent competition. It is only used to describe the senses and categories of fragrances. It is not just a display of the owner's skill in using incense, or a special place for incense lovers to show off the value of the incense.  It is inevitable to be secular and biased. In Dahua and Dongri, incense banquets are mostly private events specially held by literati to examine knowledge, or monks and Taoists to sit in meditation and discuss Taoism. What they seek is not the physical appearance of incense.  The ultimate is more about the epiphany of a moment of concentrating and meditating in the aroma. Although Xiyue is a spice-producing country, most of the incense comes from Dahua and Dongri. I think the purpose of setting up the incense banquet in Xiyue is also here."

    "The incense banquet is divided into three steps: setting up a seat, sitting in class, and adding incense. The stove owner is the first to lead the guests to the table. Taking the incense as a guide, smelling the incense and calming the mind is called "appreciating the incense"; using the incense to reflect, purify the mind, and understand the Tao is  'Sitting on incense'; expressing one's thoughts in words and learning from them together with friends is called 'lesson incense'; tasting the aftertaste of the incense and leaving a note on the incense note is called 'note incense'. These arty things do not seem to be Fifth Brother's preference.  Bar?"

    Susukino Kikiyuki is free and easy-going, but he grew up in a merchant family. He is smart and studious but not a scholar. He has some talents, but his literary talent is not outstanding. In addition, he has a special status. He went to Dahua to seek refuge at that time, so he learned martial arts to defend himself.  was given priority.  As for those so-called elegant things, in his eyes, they were mostly things that only pedantic scholars would do.

    Susukino was a little confused by what Huaxi said. How did he know that this fragrant mat was such a thing? He couldn't help but exclaimed: "Yu Heng mistaken me!"

    Hua Xi asked curiously: "Who is Yu Heng?"

    "Isn't he the fianc¨¦ of Aunt Yizhen, the eldest son of King Zhidu. You don't know that King Zhidu has a fetish for incense. He likes to invite scribes to hold fragrant banquets. In the past, when his family held banquets, everyone was most afraid of going to the toilet. Every day  Every time I go to the toilet, a bunch of maids are waiting for me. As long as someone has sex"

    Susukino Yuki paused, thinking that he would not ruin his image as an older brother in front of Hua Xi, so he suppressed the indecent words and changed his words, "The maid of his family is the nail powder that caused that peculiar smell.  , agarwood perfume for a while, making people feel very embarrassed However, all the children in his family are masters of using incense. Gu Lina, you have seen it in Dahua. Yu Heng himself also likes to buy and sell fragrant wood on weekdays.  It was he who recommended Fang Xing and Fang Liu to the last Douxiang meeting."

    Huaxi doesn¡¯t have any feelings for Fang¡¯s family, but she has some friendship with that baby-faced and sweet-crazed young man Fang Liu.  After she arrived in Xiyue, she also went to the Fang family's shop. She only paid attention to the flower dew balsam and did not deliberately inquire about Fang Liu's whereabouts.  At this time, after hearing Susukino Jiyuki mention it, she learned that the Fang family had a relationship with King Shidu. No wonder they could occupy half of the Xiyue Spice Market.

    Susukino continued angrily, "Yesterday at the racecourse, I was walking with the two princes of Zhinan Kingdom. On the way, I mentioned that they had got a new piece of Qinnan. Unfortunately, Yu Heng heard it and said that he also got two new pieces of the best.  It¡¯s better to hold a banquet with Le Yi and others to taste the fragrant wood. Le Yi had just arrived, how could he prepare for this, and was embarrassed to refute Yu Heng¡¯s face, so he asked me what I meant. Yu Heng immediately said that I was the welcome guest assigned by His Majesty.  Commander, let me prepare for this, and I happen to be the stove owner at the same time. I thought it wouldn't be a difficult task, and for my aunt's sake, I didn't object I originally thought about going to Ji's house to find a shopkeeper, but this  I just happened to come here to visit you first. When you said this, I realized that there were still these accidents"

    Susukino Jiyuki looked regretful, which made Huaxi chuckle, "So, our uncle-to-be is deliberately making things difficult for you?"

    Susukino Jiyuki snorted, "Yu Heng is usually close to Zong Fei and Zong Qi. Zong Qi must have wanted to see me make a fool of myself, so he encouraged Yu Heng to do this harmful trick."

    Huaxi has a bad impression of Susukino Soki, not because he is a swinger, but because the sinister look in his eyes makes him feel uncomfortable.  Besides, Susukino Noriyuki and Soki had just had a bad time, and now Susukino Soki takes the blame for this matter, who knows what kind of trouble will arise?

    "You didn't talk to Aunt Yizhen? How come Yu Heng is also her fianc¨¦ and your uncle-to-be. Why don't you ask your aunt to come forward to make peace and push the stove owner?"?Errand?  "

    "What uncle-to-be? I see that Aunt Yizhen is not happy with this marriage" Susukino seemed to think of something, and a trace of strangeness flashed in his eyes, "Go to her to make peace. I might as well ask Uncle Six directly. However,  Uncle Six is ??still in the palace at this moment."

    Susukino Kikiyuki was a little impatient. The more he thought about this matter, he had not thought it through well and agreed too quickly. He thought for a while and said, "I'd better go to the palace. This matter is related to Zhinan, so I'd better ask the palace for instructions."

    Susukino Kikiyuki hurriedly stood up and took two steps, then turned back and said to Huaxi: "As for the shop you go and have a look first, don't make a decision in a hurry. I still have a few good ones on hand, wait until I come back from the palace.  Let¡¯s talk about it later.¡±

    Hua Xi nodded, "Well, then Fifth Brother, hurry up and go!"

    After Susukino walked, Huaxi went out and walked around for a long time. He had lunch outside.  When she returned to the house in the afternoon, Susukino Nobu and Susukino Nobuyuki were already back.

    As soon as Huaxi came back, he was called to Yiyuan by Susukino Shin.

    After entering the door, he looked up and saw Susukino Noriyuki looking at him with a bright smile, "Thirteen, you are back. I have been sitting here for almost an hour."

    "Fifth brother, is everything going well?"

    Susukino Kikiyuki chuckled and said, "It went smoothly. The stove owner's errand was postponed, but I am still responsible for the fragrant banquet."

    "If you push the stove owner, everything else will be easier to handle."

    Susukino Shin sat in front of the desk, put down the pen in his hand, looked up at Huaxi and said: "He resigned as the furnace owner, but he replaced you."

    "Ah¡ª¡ª" Huaxi looked at Susukino Jiyuki and said angrily, "Fifth brother!"

    "Ahem," Susukino Kikiyuki coughed twice, "His Majesty is inviting the envoys of Dahua to participate in the Chinese Valentine's Day Moon Festival. The three princes are all there. I was waiting outside the palace and asked someone to bring a message to my sixth uncle.  Unexpectedly, Zong Qi brought this matter to His Majesty as a joke, saying that there are moon festivals held every year on the two days of Chinese Valentine's Day, and there are many different things this year. The King of Thailand said that he also wanted to participate. I reported back to His Majesty that I might not be qualified, and by the way  I wanted to pass this job on to Yu Heng, but I didn¡¯t want the King of Thailand to praise you and recommend you to be the owner of the furnace. His Majesty immediately agreed and asked me to assist you in organizing the fragrant banquet"

    Seeing Huaxi glaring at him angrily, like an annoyed little tiger, with an "I won't agree" look, Susukino Nobuyuki couldn't help but turn his eyes to Susukino Nobu for help.

    Susukino ignored Noriyuki Susukino, lowered his head and blew on the wet handwriting on the letter paper, folded it and sealed it in an envelope, "You caused the trouble yourself and implicated Huaxi. Do you still expect me to help you?"

    "Sixth Uncle - you also accepted His Majesty's oral instructions at that time." Susukino Noriyuki's peach blossom eyes flashed, and he pursed his lips and begged, "Thirteen, it's not a big deal that Fifth Brother is wrong. His Majesty spoke so eloquently in front of us  The envoys of Great China, the prince and the ministers are responsible for this matter in front of you and me, and they also told us to entertain the distinguished guests from both countries Just think of helping my brother for once, okay?"

    After the last incident at Luohua Palace, Xiao Wu came to the house. Huaxi saw Xiao Wu saying he was ill, but she didn't expect that Yin Yuanye was still there.

    Huaxi was hesitating whether to use excuses to refuse, when she heard Susukino Kikiyuki cautiously say: "I know you don't like thisbut now the matter of Xiangxi has been made clear. If you claim to be sick, it will only make people think you are doing something wrong."  It's so obvious that I even wonder if there is a rift between Uncle Six and Your Majesty."

    "So it's hard to get off the tiger" Huaxi glanced at Susukino Jiyuki and knew that what he said was reasonable, but he always felt that there was an unpleasant feeling in his heart that he was holding back.

    The King of Thailand's thoughts were clearer to Susukino Shin, but at that time he refused but was rejected. At this time, he saw his daughter's expression of relief and knew that she had a grudge. He thought about it and said with relief: "If you don't like it, don't go, Dad and Your Majesty."  Go talk."

    Huaxi didn't want Susukino to be in trouble, "Dad, don't worry. If she talks to His Majesty over such a trivial matter, it would seem that her daughter is ignorant of the general situation. If someone takes advantage of this point again, she doesn't know what tricks she will create behind her back."  .Besides, I am the owner of the furnace and I have Fifth Brother to help me, so nothing should go wrong."

    Seeing that Huaxi agreed, Susukino Jiyuki hurriedly agreed: "Don't worry, Uncle Six, I will be careful this time."

    "After suffering a loss once, you should change your mind in the future." Susukino glanced at Ji Xing, "You two are here today. Let me remind you again that although this matter is not big, it involves the royal families of the Three Kingdoms.  You have to be careful but also careful, and you must not make any mistakes. Especially Xiao Wu, you suspect that Zong Qi is plotting against you, but you can't provide any evidence. Don't make enemies randomly if you don't know the truth. Instead of making assumptions and pursuing others, it's better to reflect on yourself.  Give yourself a break."

    "Yes!" Hua Xi and Ji Xing promised Susukino at the same time.

    Hua Xi looked at Susukino Shin, whose face was as heavy as water, and thought to herself, while dad was teaching fifth brother, he was also teaching himself a lesson.  People such as Yu Heng, Zong Qi, Yin Yuanye, and even Le Yi would really feel at ease at the fragrant banquet. The fragrant banquet is just an excuse. As for what changes may be derived from the fragrant banquet, what they really want to know is  of.  Therefore, it is not advisable to mess up your position. The best policy is to stay calm and adapt to changes.

    Susukino Kiyuki's heart was not at peace anymore. The prince, his relatives, the vassal king, the imperial powerthe questions he originally wanted to avoid came to his mind again. Should he really change his mind? But it would really develop into the situation that his uncle Liu had.  Is that what you said?

    The three of them discussed the matter of the fragrant banquet together again, and it was not until evening that Susukino Jiyuki left Prince Xin's Mansion.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)Lesson.  People such as Yu Heng, Zong Qi, Yin Yuanye, and even Le Yi would really feel at ease at the fragrant banquet.
