With my beautiful clothes, I will be with you forever

Here, after Ji Yan received the invitation from Xia's family, she went directly to the courtyard to find Qinli Garden and Ji Fang.

In the yard, Ji Fang was wearing unlined clothes, holding a piece of cloth to wipe his sword, presumably, he must have just finished practicing sword.

The servant girl came over to ask for instructions: "Young Master, Miss is here."

"Ah."

After the servant girl retreated, Ji Fang saw Ji Yan coming, and returned the sword to the scabbard with a wave of his hand: "Yan'er, here we come."

"Brother is in a good mood today, and there is still time to practice swordsmanship, is there a step back?"

Indeed, since Ji Fang became the Minister of the Ministry of War, a lot of official duties have come from somewhere, and the practice of swordsmanship has been intermittent.

"Sure enough, you should persist for a long time, your body is a little stiff. By the way, why did Yan'er come?" Ji Fang said.

"Oh, this is a post sent by the Xia family. I blocked it when I sent it just now. I thought I would bring it for you..." Ji Yan said.

When people from the Xia family sent the post, Ji Yan had just come out of the study after reviewing the classics, and blocked it after learning the reason of the matter and the time of the post.

"It's fine for the servants to bring the post. Why do you need to go again?" Putting the cloth in your hand aside, took the post, and looked at it casually: "Thank you Yan'er."

Ji Fang was thinking about what clothes to wear at that time, and wondered if Xi'er asked for the post from Xia's family.

Ji Fang's mother, Mrs. Ji, had a good relationship with Mrs. Xia of the Xia family when she was young. Then set a marriage and continue the friendship between the two.In addition, Xia Xing, the Patriarch of the Xia family, is a kind person, and his family education is also very good, so the two parties settled in this way.

Xia Xi, the eldest daughter of the Xia family, is a talented woman who is well-known in the capital of Chu. The two elders were much more enthusiastic.

Even though the engagement was made, many sons and young masters went to Xia's house to propose marriage, saying, "This is just a marriage made by the previous generation, and it doesn't necessarily count." As everyone knows, it is for this reason that those visitors are turned away. In addition, the words of refusal are all "marriage matters, obey the orders of parents".It seems that if the marriage with Ji Fang hadn't been settled early, the threshold of the Xia family might not be changed in a hurry, and the family would be like a bustling market.

And Ji Fang and Xia Xi also knew each other early because they were taken by their parents since they were young. I don't know if it was love at first sight or love after a long time. Just window paper.

"Brother..." Ji Yan seemed to have something to say, but stopped talking.

"Huh? Is there anything else for Yan'er? If there is nothing else, I'll go back to my room to deal with business. Damn it, leave everything to me. By the way, I have something for you..." While being free and easy, she complained about things in her heart Duo, I remembered that when I came back from the front line, I passed through a small town to buy things for Ji Yan. I turned around and was about to enter the house, but Ji Yan grabbed me: "Brother, this time, can you take Yan'er with you?"

Before coming to Qinli Garden, Ji Yan had already read the content in the post, and it didn't specify how many people were required to go. In this case, it was usually her elder brother who attended as a representative.

But this time, the time is the day after tomorrow, which is the day of the Fragrance Fair mentioned by the shopkeeper of Yipinxiang. I really told Gu Yin that although I don't know why the Fragrant Fair will be related to the Xia family this time, I still want to go.

"This..." Ji Fang was really surprised when he heard that his little sister said that she was going out, and it wasn't because of Zhiying.

Ji Yan has been reluctant to go out since she was a child, even if Ji Fang coerced and lured her, she could only take her out once or twice.Although it is good for the daughter to stay at home more when she is in her boudoir, and it is also in line with the rules.

But she has a gentle temper and doesn't like to go out, so Ji Fang is still worried that she will get sick because of it.

Until Zhiying appeared.

Zhiying's unrestrained temperament drove Ji Yan, who used to be very quiet, also began to speak, and gradually began to go out, the reason was limited to Zhiying.And after Zhiying disappeared, she would go out, but very few, especially those who said that they were limited to their own thoughts and had nothing to do with Zhiying, even fewer.

"How did Yan'er think of going out together this time?" Ji Fang asked.

Ji Yan had already guessed that Ji Fang would ask, and replied: "Yan'er heard that there will be many incense masters coming this time, and thinking that Yu Ning's birthday is approaching, she wants to see if there is any suitable gift for her."

"That's it." Ji Fang clapped his hands, "It is true that we should prepare in advance. That's fine, we will go together when the time comes."

"Yeah." Ji Yan smiled happily.

"Go, Brother Wei will take you to see something."

What Ji Yan got was a small figure made of bamboo. He was wearing clothes he had never seen before. Even though they were ankle-length, the shoes seemed to be made of wood?Why are there two straps instead of covering the feet?On the back of the villain, there is a bulging small package tied around his waist. The belt he wears is also a bit wide. It is embroidered with... cherry blossoms?

Seeing that Ji Yan liked it very much, Ji Fang said: "This is a town in the south of the Yangtze River that I passed by when I came back. It was very bustling. There was a merchant from the Japanese country on the side of the road who was selling these gadgets. I saw the patterns on it. , I'll bring it back for you."

"Thank you, brother, Yan'er likes it very much." Ji Yan said.

Could it be... also, my brother should also know, after all, I am not too secretive.

"Yes, I know you like it. Let her accompany you when you don't go out. I don't often stay at home. Then the matter is settled. Parents should have no objection to taking you out."

"Thank you, brother, then Yan'er will leave." Seeing that Ji Fang was willing to see off the guests, Ji Yan didn't say anything more. As for that matter, let's talk about it when I have a chance.

"Well, let's go."

A few days later, the incense tasting event was held in the center of Chujing Street. It was so grand and mighty that almost the entire street was decorated with colorful silk lanterns, which decorated the already bustling area with splendor.It seems that there are visitors from all directions this time, and many faces do not look like Chu people.

It turns out that there will be many items in this incense tasting event. In addition to watching the incense tasting competitions and trying various incenses, you can also try to make fragrances by yourself. If you are satisfied, you can take them away...

In short, as long as people who come here, they can find participating projects.

With the sound of gongs and drums, the Fragrance Tasting Fair officially started. Although there were many events, the highlight of the Fragrance Tasting Competition still gathered a lot of people to watch.

The speaker shouted at the top of his voice, "The host and judges are invited."

As expected, the hosts were Xia Family and Yipinxiang, but Chu Chi, the owner of the shop, did not appear, but the shopkeeper attended on his behalf. act rashly.

And the judges are still the masters of Yipinxiang.

Ji Yan in the crowd didn't dare to slack off, she came here early and sat in the first row before the crowd got crowded.

Before coming here, Ji Fang mentioned that he watched it from the Yipinxiang Tower, and the Xia family arranged a wing room with a good view.Ji Yan refused, saying that she must get a closer look in front of the stage, so Ji Fang had no choice but to give up.

Ji Yan was looking around and found that Chu Chi and Gu Yin were sitting upstairs with meaningful smiles on their faces and looking down.Seeing that Ji Yan saw her, Gu Yin nodded in greeting without any unnecessary movements.

The competition is divided into two rounds. In the first round of incense tasting, contestants need to smell the ingredients of the spices in the sachet and tell the composition of the spices. Of course, the sachet is made of special cloth, which is opaque and will not Affects the smell of spices.Talk about the ingredients of the three spices in a row, and score according to the results within the specified time.

The second round is to take out the spices made by yourself, which will be judged by the seven judges. Of course, the staff will take them up.

"... Belle, Lu Fangqi" The speaker who was waiting to read out six names, one of them surprised everyone quite a bit, Lu Fangqi?

Lu Fangqi is the cousin of the current noble concubine, he is greedy, and his private life is extremely messy. Today he fights at the restaurant, tomorrow he smashes tables and throws stools at the brothel... However, he has a high status and a strong background, so no one dares to stop him, so he had to Secretly complaining.

Having said that, this person still has some skills in tasting incense, but...according to Lu Fangqi's lawless temperament, whether he can finish this competition in peace is a problem.

And Ji Yan's attention is all on the name "Bei Nu", here she comes... The silk handkerchief in her hand has been crumpled.Yanzhi next to her was also a little nervous.

The contestants came to stand on stage one after another, and the one farthest from Ji Yan was still wearing plain clothes and a veil as before, with a pair of bright eyes as before, Ji Yan seemed to be about to shed tears.

Sakura...

Belle, who was wearing a veil, felt the straight line of sight, looked up, her eyes flickered for a while, and she turned her gaze away from this side.

Yanzhi tugged at Ji Yan, and whispered: "Miss, why doesn't the girl look at us?"

Ji Yan suppressed the tears in her eyes, and took a long breath: "Don't worry."

There were still only five people on the stage, and Lu Fangqi didn't show up for a long time, and the crowd was agitated one after another. Xia Xi called the speaker to whisper a few words, so the speaker ordered people to go to Lu's house to have a look.Afterwards, the speaker turned around and said, "Everyone, be safe and don't be impatient. According to the report back, we will determine whether Lu Fangqi has abstained."

Soon, the person who answered came back. After listening to the reply, the interlocutor's expression was a little strange, and Xia Xi frowned.
