perfumer

The popular viburnum, mallow, and white lotus in summer gradually disappeared, and the cold wind blew sweet sweet osmanthus. Bai Xin took the opportunity to buy a large amount of osmanthus from a florist.

Bai Xin mixed sweet osmanthus and crushed agarwood, put it on the steamer and steamed it over water, and after about a meal, some flower essence accumulated at the bottom, and now after repeated repetitions, sweet osmanthus dew was made. Thorough, but also the fragrance of agarwood, the combination of the two, Xinlie Nong fragrance.

Because the perfume he made, in order to obtain the fragrance, he used a large amount of the original dew essence repeatedly extracted from sweet-scented osmanthus, and added a small amount of agarwood, so the cost was high, and the price was naturally not cheap. Those who bought it from Bai Xin At first, the peddler didn't dare to take too much for fear of smashing it in his hands, so he only wanted one or two bottles at a time, but this sweet-scented sweet-scented osmanthus dew was really easy to sell in the shop, thanks to the fact that everyone came and went from rich families, and some That wealthy young man who loves to pretend will show off whenever he gets the chance, "Treasurer Bai, what's in your bottle?" At the bottom, Qingsui flung to the left. Even though the weather had turned cold, he still liked to shake the fan, as if he was afraid that others would not know that the landscape on his fan was painted by someone.

After he finished speaking, he picked it up, saw the delicate body of the bottle, the long neck, like a graceful figure of a fair lady, he shook it lightly again, and heard the sound of thumping water coming from inside, crisp and clear, not like grease.

Bai Xin came over, opened a scented dew for display, and fanned the air with his hands, "This is the sweet-scented osmanthus scented dew I made, rub it on your body, it will smell all over your body, or spray it on your clothes, you can also use it as a scent. It can be used as a face-applying perfume, blended with powder and powder.”

The young master closed the fan with a snap, a little surprised, leaned down and sniffed it, and said, "It's really fragrant, fresher and more natural than incense."

Bai Xin nodded, and heard the man say again: "Your fragrant dew is similar to rose dew."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Bai Xin to speak, he began to talk non-stop, "The shopkeeper Bai is young, so I'm afraid he doesn't know that the rose dew comes from the kingdom of food, and you have never seen the bottle containing the dew. The bottle is made of glass, radiant like precious stones. Fakes were flooded a while ago. It was originally an imitation rose dew from my country, but the fragrance is not as good as that produced in Dashi. It is easy to identify fakes. You only need to shake it a few times. , if there are bubbles from top to bottom, it is real, real rose dew, sprinkled on clothes, it will not disperse for dozens of days."

Bai Xin echoed, "Young master is really well-informed, I'm afraid I may miss the chance to see the real rose dew."

The young master was held high, waved his fan, and laughed a few times, "Your sweet-scented osmanthus dew is not as good as Dashi Kingdom's rose dew, but the smell is clear and fresh, and it smells very good."

After speaking, he paid for a bottle, put it in his sleeve, shook his head and walked away.

These rich people all have a mentality of comparison. Although Bai Xin's sweet-scented osmanthus dew is not an imported product, it is still fragrant dew, and real rose dew is extremely rare in their own country. Even in their big food country, it is considered a rare item. So everyone turned their attention to the osmanthus dew made by Bai Xin, and for a while, Bai Xin made a lot of money.

Beijing Chengjia

In the circle of wives, Mrs. Cheng, who has always been known for her calmness, now had red eyes and was crying. While wiping her tears, she said, "Wenren, do you really want to leave?"

"Mom!" Cheng Wenren yelled helplessly, "I'm out to do business, why are you crying?"

Mrs. Cheng wiped away her tears and raised her voice, "Our family has a great career, why should you work hard?"

"Mother, if you want Dad to hear your words, you will curse again."

Mrs. Cheng covered her mouth, looked out subconsciously, then turned around and glared at her son, and said, "Your businesswoman has no objection, didn't I give you a silk and satin shop before? Why do you want to go out? And You are going to go out to sea with the boat, and the sea is changing rapidly, how can mother rest assured?"

"mother!"

Mrs. Cheng sighed, "Mother knows what you're up to. In the past two days, your father and I have also discussed it. It is enough for our family to have your elder brother. If you really like a little lady, even It's not right to be in the right family, and we don't object anymore, you just marry and come in, there is really no need to take your own safety and get angry with your father."

The ancients said that women have long hair but short knowledge. It is true. Mrs. Cheng only knows how to spoil her youngest son, and she thinks that saying this will make him stop going to sea, but she does not know that Cheng Wenren's self-esteem is haunting him. After hearing this, he feels underestimated Not reconciled, he thought that he would make a name for himself even if he wanted to win.

Cheng Wenren thought of Bai Xin, and thought of him relying on his hands to support the whole family, from scratch, he felt more and more incompetent, and even talked about admiration. He was afraid that if he stood with him in the future, he would feel ashamed. This has nothing to do with a person's family. His family has a small fortune, but how much of it is earned by him?

Cheng Wenren showed a firm expression, "Mother, I want to go to sea, not out of anger, but because my son has grown up and doesn't want to live off his ancestors anymore. Even the silk and satin shop my father gave me is taken care of by the shopkeeper. If you only let me look at the account book, what do I count?"

Mrs. Cheng whimpered and cried again,

At this moment, the door of the room was pushed open with a creak, and a hale and hearty middle-aged man approached. Seeing that his eyes were heavy, not angry but powerful, he laughed at this moment, and praised him loudly, "I Son, this is grown up."

Mrs. Cheng didn't dare to cry anymore when she saw her husband, she wiped the tears from her face and sat upright.

"Father!" Cheng Wenren called out.

Master Cheng turned his eyes to his wife and persuaded him: "My son is promising. I told him to go out to practice a long time ago, but you just kept protecting him. You originally thought that your son would be spoiled by you, but I didn't expect that he still has himself. It’s a good thing to be enlightened for a day!”

Mrs. Cheng's expression was a little distorted, "It's just too dangerous to go to sea."

Master Cheng scowled, "What's the danger here? He's going south with the wind, and he'll be back in about three months. This sea route is the smoothest. Back then, I took two servants and headed for Jiangxi. Well, it took more than half of the country, and it took a year to go, isn’t it good? Why, my son can’t do it? After that, his son will not even dare to step out of the capital? Generation after generation, The more you feed, the more useless you become."

Mrs. Cheng's eyes were red with grievance.

Master Cheng also knew whether to punish blindly, put on a smiling face, and rushed to Wenren said: "Wenren, you are sensible, and you can tell right from wrong. Your mother and I have indeed discussed it. If you like someone, even if the family is not right No, Mom and Dad will never force them to object, when you come back this time, Mom and Dad will prepare to come to your door to propose marriage to you."

Cheng Wenren's expression was a little weird, Master Cheng was still wondering why he didn't see joy on his face?Cheng Wenren held back for a long time, and asked, "You really have no objection?"

Master Cheng nodded seriously, "Father is a businessman, and the most important thing is honesty, can he still deceive you? When you come back, you will arrange the marriage."

Cheng Wenren smiled wryly, "There's no need for marriage for now, I just want a word from my parents, and anyone I like, as long as you don't object."

Master Cheng and Mrs. Cheng guessed that the other party's background was the worst, and she was just a daughter of a poor family. The net worth is enough. I can't afford to waste it, what if I ask someone else to marry me?"

"After the son has the ability, let's talk about other things."

Mrs. Cheng looked worried when she heard this, but it was Master Cheng who stroked his beard in relief, knowing that his son was enlightened for the sake of his sweetheart. Although he was a little moved, he was still happy to see his son make progress.

Afterwards, it was not difficult to make preparations. The Cheng family bought a shipment of goods. Cheng Wen was very concerned about these goods, and personally did the selection, bargaining, and calculation of losses during transportation.

Three days before departure, Cheng Wenren found Bai Xin and asked him out.

Ever since he learned about the other party's feelings, Bai Xin had a hard time treating him with a normal heart, saying that he would still be friends in the future, but how could he not care?

Cheng Wenren sat at the table and drank three glasses of wine in a row. Just as Bai Xin was about to ask him what was wrong, he heard him say without raising his head, "I'm leaving in three days."

Bai Xin was taken aback and almost stood up from the stool, "Let's go? Where are we going?"

"Go to sea with the ship and sell some goods."

"Do you still need to follow in person? The sea is changing rapidly, you..."

Cheng Wenren felt a burn in his heart for a moment, knowing that Bai Xin really cared about him, and some hope was kindled unconsciously.

"I can't live my whole life relying on the assets of my family."

After Bai Xin heard this, he looked at him with admiration in his heart, saying that he was no more than three rich, and it was really rare for children from rich families to be so motivated.

Bai Xin knew that it was useless to persuade him, so he felt a little bored, so he drank a few glasses of wine, but felt extremely bitter after pouring them into his stomach, and finally he said dryly: "I wish you a smooth journey!"
