Xiao Chong couldn't refuse Lin Wanwan. After she eagerly lit the incense and added fragrance, he wielded the brush and splashed the ink.
In the Tang Dynasty, the procedures for aristocrats to read and write were very complicated. Not to mention bathing and changing clothes, burning incense, washing hands, and straightening attire were essential steps.
Burning incense in a quiet room is an elegant leisure activity.
Although Lin Wanwan didn't pay so much attention to rituals when she read and wrote on her own, she still learned these rules from Heng Wu and the Teacher Chen.
She might not do it daily, but couldn't afford to be ignorant of it, otherwise, she wouldn't be able to integrate into the aristocratic circle and would be looked down upon as uncouth.
Writing is naturally one of the most elegant things in the world. To let Xiao Chong happily leave his ink strokes, Lin Wanwan put in a lot of effort for what is called "writing in the moment, with a carefree and dust-free charm."
