When a incense master tests incense, he not only needs to show skillful and refined skills, but also crucially, his state of mind, which is more difficult to control than his technique.

The same incense burner is made by the hands of different incense masters, or by the taste of different minds. The meaning and perceptions it emits are very different, and the interest of savoring incense lies in this. If the mind is disrupted, many of the important details will be ignored.

In the battle, the battle is not only the fragrance, but the expression and tone of the incense master are seen by the judges. All their words and deeds during the competition are fighting.

"Look at it, with her here, the competition will become more and more exciting." Qi Wu said, his eyes consciously floating past the Nanguantai, and his tone became more and more intriguing, "She will never disappoint people."

He knew that it was not only them who would wait and see in the room inside and outside the fragrance.

Youmeng was dignified at the desk, while meditating, while recording the aroma characteristics, base, richness of the "Spring Letter in Snow" on the fragrant paper... Based on her innate sensitivity to the fragrance and the experience accumulated by her years of experience in the fragrance, she speculated that it was "the king, minister, assistant, and auxiliary" and other ingredients.

The first fragrance has a light and cool floral notes, which are sweet and pleasant; the original fragrance is sweet and delicate, with a mild and warm texture; the tail fragrance is clear and cold, with a slightly spicy fragrance and a long aftertaste.

She thought to herself: Among the several main incenses, the ones that are most likely to bring out the fragrance of flowers and fruits are agarwood and lilac. As for where the energy of flowers and fruits comes from, it is difficult for her to determine.

Let’s talk about this fragrance, its many characteristics make her instinctively think of sandalwood. Sandalwood is mostly produced in humid and hot areas, and its fragrance is mellow and warm, especially Laoshan white sandalwood. Sandalwood is naturally dry and hot, so it must be prepared before mixing the fragrance to remove the dry and fire to make the fragrance more pure. The tail fragrance of most sandalwood is slightly spicy and fishy, ​​but it can be dripped and soaked in tea, then boiled and soaked with wine and honey, and then dried again after sealing, which can strengthen the mellow aroma of sandalwood...

Youmeng secretly exclaimed in her heart that this "Spring Xin in the Snow" is worthy of being a mixed fragrance made by the top incense master. The fragrance is beautiful, colorful and confusing. Although the spices in it are distinctive, there are many intricate combination methods. They seem simple and easy to imagine, but they are actually unpredictable.

She pondered and thought repeatedly, and the more she thought, the more confused she thought, so that the fragrance of the flower paper had not yet fallen into a word.

At this time, Mei Zihan looked sideways. At his gesture, Xiang sent Kuankuan to approach, listened to him making a low order, and then withdrew.

After a while, the incense came back and held a jade zither in his hand.

Youmeng put his pen and looked up, looking at him with some doubt. Director Yu smiled respectfully, "At this grand ceremony, Lord Taifu is willing to play the piano to add emotion to the incense mat, please listen to it."

Most of the people here come from the circle of literati and scholars. They all know that Taifu Mei Zihan's reputation, and they also know that he is proficient in music and has extraordinary piano skills. However, after all, he is a master of sentient beings, and it is difficult for ordinary people to have the opportunity to appreciate it. I heard that he wants to show his piano skills, and he feels honored and looks forward to it.

Youmeng's mind was in a daze, like a fallen leaf floating on the undulating lake. It's been a long time since he listened to him playing the piano. I didn't expect that he would hear it again, and it would be on such an occasion.

The waiter set up a piano case for him. He stood up and walked slowly, sat quietly, raised a pair of broad sleeves with deep blue and white edges, revealing his slender and white fingers, and gently placed them on the strings. With one sound, two sounds, a clear melody flowed out, echoing in the misty fragrance throughout the room, as ethereal as an immortal.

And here, there are true ups and downs—

"The wind is resting in the evening."

"A night of spring power."

"The flowers sparse and the sky is light, the clouds come and go, and several branches of snow."

Youmeng unconsciously supported his hand with his jaw, looked at him with a tilted face, and listened in a state of delight. He knew that it was a song "Frost Heaven and Dawn" and also a work of chanting plum blossoms.

The plum blossoms reflected in her eyes are cold at this moment, with long hair pouring down, slender fingers slowly plucking the strings of the piano, handsome eyebrows and eyes slightly drooping, and the sound of the piano is clear and refreshing, making people feel relaxed and happy, as if they have arrived at the fairy palace.

"Very good."

"Sorry is also gone."

"Who tells this love in common?"

"Only two rows of low geese, knowing the people leaning on each other, and painting the moon in the building."

The sound of the song depicts a poetic picture: In the early spring of that year, the red plums covered with snow, and by the plum tree, a man in a long robe sat alone in the cold pavilion, burning incense and playing the piano, like a banished immortal.

The memories were like water lines dizzy, and I saw him first again.

He exiled himself to the sound of the piano, and no one could see what kind of vicissitudes were covering his ice-like appearance.

Youmeng returned to the plum garden in February and March, and she seemed to see the prosperous early plum blossoms again. Sitting with him under the drizzle eaves, the green ants in the porcelain cup were fresh and the plum blossoms were fragrant.
