perfumer

Cheng Wenren walked back to his shop with a gloomy face. The old shopkeeper originally wanted to report the small situation in the shop when he was away just now, but when he looked up, he swallowed the words back without mentioning anything. He was ushered into the back room.

At this moment, Cheng Wenren's chest was thumping fast, as if something bad was about to happen. After walking back to the shop, he gradually calmed down. He was not angry with Bai Xin, but just inexplicably He was in a panic, feeling that something was wrong, his group of drinking and meat friends, who was not a group of maidservants, he hadn't noticed at all, the sudden irritability just now seemed to be, it seemed to be...

Cheng Wenren was taken aback by the answer he was about to come up with. He sat up abruptly, and the chair creaked, and he pushed it back.

The boy who was about to pour tea for him was startled, and with a shake of his hand, the tea spilled out.

Cheng Wenren was upset when he was caught, and now everyone was uncomfortable, so he couldn't help scolding: "You are clumsy, how do you greet guests like this?"

The young man was taken aback, thinking that Cheng Wenren was going to fire him, so with a mournful face, he confessed repeatedly.

Seeing this, Fulin hurriedly took the teapot, and comforted him: "Young Master, calm down, don't be mad at yourself."

Cheng Wen's mouth was dry, he lifted the cup and drank the tea in one gulp, but felt bitter in his mouth, he put the quilt back with a beep, and was about to walk out.

Fulin hurriedly chased him out, "Master, you just came back from the outside, where did you go?"

Fulin was left in the shop on purpose just now. He knew that Cheng Wenren went to look for Bai Xin just now, but when he saw the young master came back with a gloomy face, he guessed that the two of them probably had an unpleasant fight, so he didn't mention it on purpose. He also knew that the young master was not. It's unreasonable to put up with a poor boy, seeing him like this, lest he go into a fight or something.

Cheng Wenren said angrily: "What can you do at this hour? Of course go out to eat!"

It was only then that he remembered that the original purpose of looking for Bai Xin was to ask him to have a meal together. A few southern cooks came to the tall building and they were good at making soup. Dishes are greasy and tasteless.

Fulin hurriedly followed, giggling and asking: "Master, where are we going to eat?"

"Eight Immortal Tower!"

Even if Fulin was stupid, he wouldn't ask, "Young master, didn't you say you were going to climb a tall building before?" With such words, speak less and make fewer mistakes, and follow behind silently.

The two walked for a while, and then they arrived at the Eight Immortals Building. At this time, the restaurant was full of people, and Xiao Er was very eye-catching. Seeing that Cheng Wen was dressed richly, he didn't dare to neglect, so he hurriedly greeted the two of them to the second floor and sent them to a private room.

"Little official, what do you want to eat?"

Cheng Wenren didn't even think about it, so he said, "Let's start with the pot of Eight Immortals."

Fulin was taken aback when he heard this, because the Eight Immortals Brew is the signboard of the Eight Immortals Tower, and it was named "Eight", meaning that he would not drink more than eight cups, and after eight cups, he would be drunk, so he hurriedly persuaded: " Young master, there are many other drinks in the Eight Immortals Tower, and the weather is hot, why don't you order a glass of wine?"

"Stop talking nonsense, what's so good about wine? It's sour and astringent, so we need Eight Immortals."

Xiaoer made a note, and then Cheng Wenren casually ordered a few hot dishes and a few cold dishes.

After a while, the food and drink were all served, Fulin didn't want his young master to drink any more, and didn't say to let go of it, so he had to help pour the wine.

Cheng Wenren picked it up, shook it, and drank it in one gulp. The spicy taste made his face flush, and his facial features wrinkled.

Fulin hastily persuaded: "Master, you can order something, look at this red stewed eel, it is full of marinated fragrance."

Cheng Wenren picked up his chopsticks, and for some unknown reason, he only tasted the sauce, but it didn't feel delicious, so he signaled Fulin to pour the wine again.

After Cheng Wenren had three cups, he felt a little overwhelmed. The strange thing was that his mind became more and more clear-headed, and it was full of things related to Bai Xin. He even remembered the first time they met. Boy, I'm just a little interested, pay attention, but as time goes by, the more we communicate, I always think about helping him, but it's just a matter of raising a finger, but later, all his hard work is seen in the eyes, and the blood in his body seems to be burning , I can't wait to help him wholeheartedly.

Just because he thought that Bai Xin's shop was opened with his help, and he was credited for it, he couldn't help being satisfied.

The mood went from good to bad, Cheng Wenren unknowingly drank a few more cups, Fulin waited on him terribly, and couldn't help complaining to Bai Xin.

……

At this time in Tianxiangtang, Bai Xin was sneezing again and again. Seeing this, Da Lang said worriedly: "If I knew it, I would let the doctor show it to you, don't be sick because of the rain yesterday? Go away, I'll call him back."

Bai Xin stopped him, "Brother, I'm fine."

It was raining quickly in summer, and Bai Xin didn't have time to go home yesterday, and he was really drenched in the rain, but after he came back, he immediately scrubbed and changed into dry clothes. It was fine, but maybe he hadn't bathed for a long time, and his body always felt sticky. He thought that if he asked the doctor to come back for treatment, he would prescribe some medicine even if he was not sick. Instead of taking medicine, it is better to take a hot bath and relax, "Brother, I will go to the bathhouse to take a bath. Be back in a moment."

"Third brother, if you have a cold, you can't catch a cold."

"It's not that I have a cold, maybe it's because I didn't enjoy scrubbing my body yesterday, my body was a little sticky, just soak it in hot water and it'll be fine."

Da Lang nodded, "Then you should wash in hot water, not cold water."

"I know." After he finished speaking, he went upstairs and told Mrs. Cao again. Then he packed up his clean clothes, took a piece of homemade soap dumpling, and went out.

He didn't choose a large bathhouse of any size, he chose a nearby one, which also had business dealings with his family. Seeing that it was him, the owner of the bathhouse hurriedly asked someone to bring him in, and told the buddy that he didn't need to sell bathhouses to him. Beans, soap dumplings, etc.

The guy also knew Bai Xin, and knew that the boss was joking with him, so he led him inside, first came to a row of small cabinets against the wall, pointed to a middle one, and said, "Little official, put your clothes here."

Bai Xin immediately untied his clothes, took off all his clothes in a blink of an eye, and put them in the cabinet together with the things he brought.The clerk closed the cabinet, put a small brass lock on it, and handed the key tied with a long rope to Bai Xin, "Little official, put the key away."

He took the key, put it around his neck, and walked in with only a small box of soap balls in his hand.

The bathroom is steaming, white air is lingering, and there is a scent of saponins floating in it. At this time, it is the time when idlers are taking a nap. There are only a few people soaking in the pool in twos and threes, and seeing them sleepy, they seem to be leaving , Bai Xin walked into the pool, and just put one foot in, he felt hot all over, and couldn't wait to sit in it.

He first soaked in the pool for a while, at this time, a young woman walked in through the door and walked up to Bai Xin. The others knew what this woman was doing, and they still couldn't help looking at her with fiery eyes, and deliberately He exposed his body to the outside.

There was no shame on the woman's face, she bowed down flutteringly, and asked in a soft voice: "Does the official want to wipe his back?"

Bai Xin glanced at him and saw that the other party was plain-faced and had never put on makeup. He wanted to refuse, but now he changed his mind and climbed up from the pool, "Okay."

Next to the pool, there is a stone platform, which is specially used for people to wipe their backs. Bai Xin lay down on it, and the woman took the cloth towel from Bai Xin, and started to wipe his back.

Bai Xin is still young, and her skin is not as thick as adults. This woman's strength is just right. No matter how clean he is, he can't compare to other people's convenience when he wipes himself every day. After a while, he feels a layer of dirt from rubbing off , the back was warm, the woman scooped up a handful of water and rushed down, Bai Xin felt that his body seemed to have become lighter, and laughed to himself how much mud he rubbed off.

At first, the woman was serious about wiping her waist, but when she rubbed her waist, she seemed to be teasing her, her hands always wanted to move forward along the gap of the stone platform, Bai Xin immediately noticed it, and felt a little annoyed Knowing that although this woman wiped her back in the bathroom, if possible, she would also do some skin business to make money. He grabbed the woman's hand, raised his body slightly, and turned to look at her.

The woman was overjoyed at first, and hurriedly cast a wink at Bai Xin, but she heard him say: "I just want to wipe my back, if you can't do it well, find someone else."

The woman was worried that she would not be able to make money if she was replaced, so she turned pale with fright, blinked her eyelashes stained with moisture, shook her head again and again, withdrew her hand, and behaved again.

After a while, after wiping her back, the woman left, Bai Xin returned to the pool, and after sitting for a while, another older woman came in, but she was holding a basket in her hand, blessed her body, and asked: " Little official, can I have something to eat and drink? I have here honey sesame crisps, sugar mung beans, chestnut paste, and Chengsha dumplings. I drink stewed plum water, ginger honey water, mung bean water, chicken soda water, and oranges Wine, sweet-scented osmanthus."

Bai Xin also felt dry mouth after soaking, and after being rubbed on the back, his body became more and more tired, and his stomach was a little hungry, so he said: "Here is a plate of honey sesame crisps, a pot... yellow mandarin wine, nothing else. If you need it, you don’t need to come here for a while.”

The woman repeatedly said yes, and took out what Bai Xin wanted from the basket.

Bai Xin leaned against the pool, ate something and drank a few glasses of wine. He couldn't help but let out a grunt sigh, thinking that he has been in this world for more than a year, and this is the real relaxation.

Feeling a little flustered after drinking, Bai Xin pushed the things aside, spread the wet cloth towel on his face, leaned his head up against the pool, closed his eyes, his mind was heavy, and he unconsciously thought of this day Cheng Wenren's business.

Because he was covered with a cloth, his eyes were completely dark, and he was drowsy after being steamed with hot water. When he was in a daze, he heard the sound of splashing water next to him. He knew someone was coming, so he didn't take it seriously. He thought about getting up after soaking for a while, but it was so comfortable now that he didn't even bother to move a finger.

His thoughts drifted farther and farther away. If he didn't pay attention, his body let out his strength, and suddenly his buttocks slipped, and he slipped into the water. Bai Xin woke up immediately, but he still couldn't help but take a few sips of water in. He waved his hands and struggled a few times. Before he could stand up, he felt a pair of hands grabbing his arm and picking it up for him.

Bai Xin's face was covered with water, his eyes were sore and astringent, and he couldn't see clearly. He coughed a few times, and thanked the man repeatedly in a hoarse voice.

The other party didn't speak. After Bai Xin wiped off the water on his face and rubbed his eyes, he realized that the person next to him was none other than Cheng Wenren.
