The rich man and the poor man

During those few days, it rained continuously and the thunder continued to rumble. Even if you could get out of the villa by carriage, you could hardly get out of the manor.

The group then calmly spent the night in a world that did not belong to them.

The old house in the 20s is exquisite from the outside to the inside.A black iron carved fireplace, a lightly scented pine dining table covered in delicate dark silk, and beautiful silver candlesticks.The guest room is an old-fashioned big bed made of soft birch wood, and the floor has some slight creaking and shaking noises.

Living in such a mansion, even the time will be dragged to slow down.

Eugene had a bad cough in those few days, and Merovie was so worried that he simply set up a small bed by the fireplace of his recliner, read a book next to him during the day, and got up at night to feed him whenever there was any movement medicine.

After taking care of Eugene with great difficulty, he stopped coughing, and the mood of this Russian young man became not very good again.

The argument between the two lowered their voices, and the foreign guests upstairs surreptitiously heard it clearly.

As a result of the quarrel, Merovie has always lost his temper first.It is completely different from what is written in the biography.Always wearing a well-tailored suit and holding his monocular, the "grumpy Merovie" went to the kitchen angrily, cooking food and making medicine for people with a look of grief and indignation.

And the "simple and simple Russian youth" lay down by the fireplace with eyes closed and rested, without saying a word.

……

After all, Eugene's illness was contagious, and most of the servants in the villa were dismissed, so Merovie had to cook by himself most of the time.

However, Han Fu has to say... maybe excellent perfumers have no talent for cooking, and after only a few days, all kinds of steaks that can't be chewed, dark cooking and burnt pizza, let a few people get overwhelmed After a high-intensity diet to lose weight, there is no love in life.

So in order to keep his baby from starving, Han Fu sneaked into the kitchen awe-inspiringly and picked up the kitchen spoon.

Fortunately, there are never a lot of ingredients in the villa.When there was no heavy rain before, the servants would bring a large amount of fresh ingredients and rice every two or three days, so even if the road is blocked by continuous rain, there is still a lot of food in the villa.

What's even better is that most of the meat is freshly hunted. The autumn and winter wild game is fat and strong, which is very popular with Chef Han Fu.

The delicacies made were immediately praised by the diners Liszt and Ye Zhenyi.

Of course, he always cooks delicious food secretly, and he will run into Merovie in the kitchen who has just been so angry and forced by Eugene.The first time and the second time were a bit awkward with each other.

But soon the embarrassment ceased.

Because Merovie found out that the food cooked by this Asian beauty...is really delicious!

The meat of many game meats is slightly sour, but through his hands, it becomes soft and luscious for some reason; some fish bones have many bones, but he can't find any of them after handling them.

What's even more amazing is that the eggplant has the taste of fish in his hands, and the sour and bitter vegetables can also become charcoal and delicious and melt on the tip of the tongue.He also puts wine into the dishes, so that the aroma burns in the mouth after people finish eating.The delicious fruits are even cut into various cute shapes, making people unable to resist eating a few more bites.

Even Eugene, who is usually unwell, always eats very little, and Han Fu can eat more than half a bowl when he has nothing to do.Sometimes because of being stared at by a group of people and under pressure, I have to take a few more bites.

He was finally willing to eat, and Merovie was relieved.I often watch Youjin eating and feeling delicious, with a secret envy on his face, and privately block Han Fu a little awkwardly: "I will pay you, or send you the incense recipe you want, and you will teach me how to make it in the future." How was the meal?"

Han Fu quickly seized this opportunity and crazily saved Morovie's original fragrance for his baby.

Of course, he himself felt a little bit uneasy about defrauding precious materials that are hard to find at the price of a few meals.He said that anyway, everyone had to knock on the bowls and wait for him to cook, so he might as well just let him take care of the food for the whole house in the future.

Merovie: "No!"

Han Fu: "?"

The cheeks of the heavily dressed high-cold capitalist aristocrat blushed slightly: "You, although you can cook now, you can't live here forever and cook for him... for us to eat! So, let me learn more !"

Han Fu: Oh my god, being teased by Eugene every day, he still plans to cook for others for the rest of his life.

Say good capitalists will only brutally exploit and oppress?Isn't it fun to be exploited?

Li Sierye Zhenyi by the door also decisively made two "really as I expected" emojis, with a satisfied smile on his uncle's and aunt's face.

……

The improvement of food increased Eugene's appetite, which indirectly strengthened the nutrition of the patient, and his body became less weak day by day.

Gradually, I even started to sit up and chat with everyone in the afternoon, and talk about the incense that everyone is interested in.

When people face the things they like, the exuberant and burning vitality, the excitement and brightness shining in the eyes can't deceive people.Although there is still some sickness, but in Han Fu's view, Eugene's smile like a child getting candy when talking about perfume is exactly the same as when his family was addicted to it.

Two fanatics from different eras and the perfume queen Ye Zhenyi, the three together directly established an absolute field that others cannot invade. Merovie's living room becomes a perfume laboratory.

Eugene: "...the color and smell are so beautiful."

On the small table he turned around was a bottle of perfume with glass-colored chips floating, and he marveled at the bright and changing colors under the sun: "I think your bottle of 'Alice's Dream' is really better than the sweetest dream." It's even more perfect."

As an older girl experiencing time-traveling for the first time, Ye Zhenyi can be described as extremely calm, adapting to the life here like walking on the ground.

Of course, this is closely related to the beautiful little skirts in the 20s, which can fully satisfy women's vanity.She was dressed in a fancy dress and top hat with a pearl necklace. After receiving the compliment, she proudly poked Pei Zhen with her elbow: "Look, Pei!"

"I just said that you are too cautious. I have long thought that there is absolutely no problem with the launch of this incense. Now that even Eugene has stamped it like this, why do you doubt it?"

This "Alice's Dreamland" is the main note of Pei Zhen and a fragrance modified by Ye Zhenyi later.

In fact, it was already done half a year ago, but because Pei Zhen was not confident, he kept struggling with the pressure and did not go public. He did not expect to be stamped excellent here by the industry legends of the older generation.

Shouldn't it be... You should feel a little more at ease about your own strength.Pei Zhen was secretly happy, but he never expected that Eugene Aldoga, the legendary god in the industry, would murmur again: "It's really perfect. How did you achieve such a perfect balance? Teach me."

Ye Zhenyi: "..."

Pei Zhen: "..."

Pei Zhen: "I don't have such a qualification! We don't have... Please don't joke, please!"

Ye Zhenyi: OvO

Ye Zhenyi: "That's it, then my sister will reluctantly teach you today, little ~ You ~ Jin."

Pei Zhen: "?!?!"

Ye Zhenyi straightened up as he spoke, with a serious instructor face: "But young people, don't panic, you are only in your early twenties, and you still have a bright future in the future. Today, my sister will teach you how to make fragrance in East Asia. After you If you become famous, you must remember to carry forward the oriental fragrance, okay?"

Pei Zhen: "..." Help.

It suddenly occurred to me that the biography seemed to say that Eugene suddenly became obsessed with oriental notes for a while, and made many famous oriental-style perfumes.

It's just a coincidence, it can't be taught by Ye Zhenyi!Such absurd logic is absolutely impossible, okay?

Han Fu: "Hahaha."

……

During those days, a group of people here were addicted to perfume and could not extricate themselves.The best perfumer, Merovie, is completely immersed in the yearning for medical knowledge.

In order to treat Eugene's illness and strengthen his body, he really turned from Western medicine books to Chinese medicine books, and from Latin to ancient Chinese while holding his glasses.He even began to study various Chinese medicinal materials. Many medicinal materials were not sold in nearby cities, so he went to the wild to try to dig them in the rain.

Every time I go out, I always remember to add wood to the fireplace to ensure that the fire is strong, and then cover Eugene with a quilt, and then leave thinking about the medicinal materials I want to buy.

Eugene, on the other hand, mostly just watched his back silently.

When Melovy was not at home, the reserved Russian youth occasionally dared to secretly reveal a little bit of his true thoughts to his new friends.

It's not that he has a bad temper.

All the previous quarrels were intentional.He wanted to drive Merovie away in an unreasonable manner, because tuberculosis was highly contagious and easy to die, and he was worried that Merovie would be dragged down by taking care of him all day.

But no matter what he did, Merovie refused to leave him, coaxing him and taking care of him as always, with a smile and patience.

When he talked about these things, his whole body was trembling with confusion and depression, his fingers pinched the quilt tightly, his sharp-edged face was tense, and his colorless lips trembled slightly.

"He is the young and promising young master of the Glass family. He doesn't need to take care of me who is sick for someone like me... disregarding my family's opposition and my own health. It really... makes me feel very terrified and also very sad."

The other Eastern friends who heard these words tacitly maintained sympathy and restraint.

Only half-foreign devil Liszt was straightforward, frowning and puzzled: "Afraid? Sad? Is it too stressful for you to be with him? I thought you loved him quite a bit!"

Crowd: "..."

Eugene was startled, and his whole face flushed red: "I, I am the kind of 'love' who regards him as a very important friend!"

"What?" Liszt was extremely disappointed, "As a friend? Not a lover? Wow, it was really miserable for me to go to Merowe, and I was broken in love for a long time, this is it!"

Eugene panicked, "No! I'm not, Merovich, he's not like you think to me..."

Liszt: "He doesn't treat you that way?"

"It's not that he treats you like that, it's so obvious that he loves you, can't you see it?"

"But he's really not!" Eugene said nervously, "and, and...he and I are both men, this kind of thing...God will not allow it!"

Liszt: "..."

At this point, he finally realized that the gray-eyed young man in front of him always seemed to be preoccupied these days, what was he worrying about.

Thinking about some of the history I have learned and some movies I have watched, I murmured in Chinese to myself: "That's true. It must be difficult for them to have this kind of relationship at this time. It must be unexpected that they have not reached 100 years since then. In [-], same-sex marriage became legal in many countries around the world."

"Ah! Can it be said that the two people have such a good relationship, but they separated in the end because of secular pressure?"

Liszt became depressed in an instant, stood up and pointed at Pei Zhen and Han Fu: "Don't give up so easily, it's not easy to find someone you like in this world, you see, these two are also men Yes! Why does God not allow it? How can God have time to take care of your business? They are now together, look, couple rings! Look, couple bracelets!"

……

In the next few days, Liszt, Han Fu and Ye Zhenyi spared no effort to describe the beautiful life in the East.

It made Eugene look forward to it very much: "Is it really that good?"

Pei Zhen really couldn't help but stare at him so much that he often stared at him - you people!Is it really okay to use the current situation as the Europeans 100 years ago?Fragrance ingredients can be delivered to your door as long as you place an order. It is true that you are free in love and sexual orientation, but that is good now!

What was it like 100 years ago?

100 years ago, the whole world was in dire straits, okay?

Although he knew this was the case, he couldn't bear to break Eugene's beautiful fantasy.

And Han Fu, in order to cooperate with Liszt and others to deepen the brainwashing intensity of Eugene, and at the same time to satisfy his own selfishness, in the small villa, he always treated Pei Zhen as "baby" and "dear". Bring it over and kiss.

The innocent Russian young people are increasingly accepting the brainwashing that "this kind of thing is actually normal in other countries", and when they mention the Merovie incident in private, they are becoming more and more youthful and frank.

"...I know a lot of people say he's crushing me, but that's not the case."

"Merovie...he only bullied me when I was in middle school, but it wasn't entirely his fault, it was because my grandma asked me to pretend to be a girl to coax him when I was young, and he was always angry."

"When he was in middle school, he let the society block me, robbed me of my deliveries, and smashed my things, but then he cornered me once and fought back and cried. He apologized very seriously, and he never did that again. did."

"We meet in private, and we often discuss literature and incense together. He... always likes to compete with me in mixing fragrances in front of others, calling me his old enemy. Others think that the relationship is very bad. In fact, that But it’s just helping me fight for the chance to make money as an OEM for a perfume factory.”

"Also, he came to our house to do volunteer work before, and he would accompany me to deliver goods to customers after dark. Once it rained, he walked all the way with an umbrella for me, and the new leather shoes were worn out."

"When I got home, I made red cabbage soup for him. There was no meat at all, and the salt was not enough. He ate the whole pot in the end. After a few days, I had no money to eat, and he made another bet on purpose. Give it to me, then take me to Italian food and make fun of me for being skinny."

"He was very good to me, I know that."

Liszt: "Wow, isn't this a typical love affair?"

The gray eyes of the Russian youth drooped, and he looked a little flustered: "I don't know, I've never 'liked' anyone before. I just know that every time I look at Merovie... my chest feels very uncomfortable, like I can't breathe like I'm blocked, every time he treats me very well... this feeling is even more uncomfortable. I was thinking, the book said that liking someone is beautiful, so it shouldn't be so uncomfortable. "

Liszt: "..." The older generation in the 30s was terrible.

He said "I don't know", but he didn't know that the high-level love words that came out of his mouth were rarely as nasty as him!

"But..." Eugene said awkwardly again, "How can it be possible for a person like me to be with Merovie?"

"Let's not talk about a leather apprentice in a slum that is poor and has never been to school. With my background, even if I am a well-educated woman, people in his family will definitely not agree with us being together."

"So... I really don't understand. What's the point of him being so nice to me now? Anyway, we won't be able to be together in the future. People like him will definitely marry and have children according to the family's wishes in the end."

Pei Zhen frowned.Before he had time to persuade him, the young man with black eyes beside him spoke first.

"You can talk to Merovie about your worries!"

Han Fu's voice was very firm, and his eyes sparkled even more when he looked at Youjin: "On the contrary, I feel that those things you are worried about are precisely the things he doesn't care about the least! For you, he will definitely do his best. You You have to learn to trust him, don't let all his hard work go to waste!"

Pei Zhen always felt that it was very appropriate for his family, Han Xiaohua, to educate a young and awkward child like Youjin.

After all, mature and awkward scary creatures have been trained by him to lose their temper, so what's so terrible about this kind of obedient creature?

……

When Merovey came back from the city that night, Eugene sat by the fire waiting for him.

Merovie: "Why is your face so red, do you have a fever?"

As he said, he threw down his raincoat and walked over quickly. There was a faint smell of vodka floating in the air. It was impossible for the perfumer with a keen sense of smell to catch it: "Have you been drinking?"

Eugene nodded.

Mo Luowei was helpless and didn't dare to get angry and forced a bitter face: "I only went out for a while, why are you so disobedient! Didn't you say that you are not allowed to drink while taking medicine, you are still in good health!"

Eugene looked at him stupidly: "But, I have to drink today, I have something to say..."

Merovie interrupted him: "Yes, yes, you must drink! Russians are really as hopeless as in the legend, can't live without vodka! I heard that when the February Revolution broke into the palace, the tsar died and wanted to drink it. with his vodka!"

Eugene was stunned: "I drink is my own business, don't just talk about my motherland!"

One by one, the people who were hiding in the middle of the stairs and eavesdropping: "..."

How about having a good drink to build up your courage, and talk about it openly and honestly?

It is decisive that there are no two sentences to quarrel, wow!

……

Soon, it really got loud.Merovie: "I worked so hard to find medicine for you, but you are ruining your body at home! Why are you dissatisfied with living with me? I don't want anything from you, or do you just dislike me? people?"

Eugene asked him in a daze: "Are you sure, you really don't want anything from me?"

Merovie was unhappy at first, and he was stunned when he heard the words, and he pursed his thin lips and was super hurt: "What do I want? What am I missing, what can't I buy, and I'm going to lie to you? You... from the beginning to the end Who am I! I gave you back the fragrance of Empress Baici, and you still don’t believe me so much?”

He was angry and wronged, but he was reluctant to leave.With a bitter face, he turned around a few times on his own, and simply grabbed the bottle of vodka left by Eugene and drank a few sips himself.

Eugene continued to look at him with Jiu Jin: "Are you sure you don't want anything?"

Merovie: "I don't! As far as your ancestor's fragrance is concerned, the typical gimmick is greater than the strength, I don't like it at all!"

Eugene: "But you...have always wanted me? Am I being too sensitive?"

Merovie was taken aback.

In a trance, I felt... probably an auditory hallucination appeared on the vodka head.

But in the next second, Eugene's breath approached suddenly, and his favorite refreshing breath was in front of his eyes, his lowered eyes were a little uneasy and he pursed his lips and said: "Merovie, you have to know, I... She's no longer the little girl you liked back then, and it's impossible to change back to what she was back then."

Merovie was in a trance and couldn't laugh or cry.He stretched out his hand subconsciously, and didn't dare to hug the person in front of him, but he did feel that he was within the hugging range from a few inches away.

"You have grown into what you are now," he looked at the angular, freckled, not-so-handsome but extremely attractive face of a young man who was about his height. I can't treat you as the little girl back then? I know you are a man!"

Eugene's eyes dropped even lower.

In Merowe's view, that look was innocent, pathetic, shameful and touching.

Or perhaps it was vodka that added the head.Or maybe so many years of ambiguity and temptation finally fermented at this moment.No one could resist his urge to kiss him anymore, and Eugene didn't struggle.

But after the introverted kiss was over, he lowered his head and panted: "You know my man, don't you know the same...I'm not good-looking, I live in a poor area, and I don't have the talent like you, and no one would think that Feelings are worth blessing!"

Merovey was in a daze, took another sip of vodka, put down the bottle and looked at Eugene's face with straight eyes, feeling as if he was about to say something serious.

The result——"Well, you really can't be considered a great beauty, but you're not ugly, as long as I look at it...it's quite pleasing to the eye."

Eugene: "..."

"It's true," Merovie wrapped his arms around his waist cheaply, and continued to look serious, "Although I like you, I can't just say how good-looking you are... It's enough to match me."

Eugene: "Just now... you seemed to say that my family's fragrances are more powerful than gimmicks?"

Merovie: "That's also true. Hey, don't be angry~"

"I was wrong, your White Porcelain Queen is the best, don't be angry! Maozi really has a violent personality... It hurts!"

Crowd: "..."

Pei Zhen: "This is too bad for words."

In this world, there is actually someone less lovable than him back then!

Just as he was thinking about it, the young man beside him leaned over, and whispered in his ear, "Look at Zhenzhen, are you sure they are together now? Then you agreed to 'let me deal with it', don't go back on your word." ?”

"!" Pei Zhen suddenly remembered all the indescribable actions he had described to him before, and his whole body instantly became refreshed.

Although I am willing to gamble and admit defeat, but... But too much BT is not enough!

A young man, who is only 24 years old, thinks about all these evil things, and he will get it when he grows up!

In the days that followed, the little villa was full of sweetness accompanied by various baked sweets every day.The old gramophone plays classic waltz music, and Mo Luowei often pulls Eugene around twice, Han Fu has a pair, and Liszt and Ye Zhenyi are also together, both of them are very good at picking, and they directly contract the dance and after the dance.

On the day Yu Ting left, a few people secretly poked and peeked at Morovie's semi-successful pineapple roast meat and played a feeding game. In the end, Eugene bit his index finger with his thin lips.

Just... just pretend not to see it.

Older generations like grandpa and the others who have been suppressed for too long... are reserved, and if they are not reserved, they are so bold that they don't need to be taught!

……

When I returned to reality, several days had already passed.

Several people were reported as missing persons, and they were on the news, which seemed to be a storm in the city.Grandpa Liszt went all over the world looking for someone from the mafia, while Ye Zhenyi's husband left his job in China and came to France.

A few people are also very helpless, it can't be said that they have traveled through time, can they?In the end, I could only make up a blind story about going to the forest to explore and get lost.

On the small plane flying from France to the next destination, Belgium, Liszt took a shower, poured a glass of champagne and continued to flip through Greta's diary: "Fuck? What's going on!"

Only then did he realize that there were obviously a few pages missing at the end of the diary, and it happened to be broken where it shouldn't be.

[After the depths of winter that year, Merovey telegraphed that Eugene had recovered completely.I was bored to death at home all winter, of course, regardless of my mother's dissuasion, I immediately packed my suitcase and jumped on the train to the villa. 】

[We baked and fished together, and spent a happy time. Both of them regarded me as a good friend, and they made no secret of their happiness in the same heart. 】

[That day, I remember that it was an early morning at the end of March, the wisteria outside the villa finally bloomed, and the petals fell like powder snow.I ran out to look in my slippers, but saw a black carriage approaching from a distance. 】

【Merovie's father came with a lot of people, and violently put Merovie onto the carriage. 】

[I helped explain, saying that we were just friends, but my uncle didn't believe it at all.After returning to Paris, he immediately used all forces to expel Eugene from the country.In order for Eugene to stay, Merovie could only promise that his family would never see him again. 】

Then, it's gone.

Liszt was in a hurry: "This is endless, what about the content behind it? Who tore it away, so unscrupulous!"

"Is this Moluowei stupid? Wow, he was such a lover in the villa, but the family agreed not to meet again? Are you stupid, why didn't you just jump out of the window and elope? The building was so short at that time... actually heard At home? This is too cowardly!"

Pei Zhen had to remind him: "In that era 100 years ago, many people's thinking really wasn't as free as it is now. The matter of Merovie and Eugene is definitely not a perfect solution that can be solved by eloping through the window."

"Cut, it depends on the person," Liszt said disapprovingly, "What are you afraid of? If you don't become a rich young master and do hard work, can't two men live together? If you can't do anything and don't care about it, it must not be true love, no wonder they separated in the end!"

Pei Zhen: "Don't talk nonsense, maybe they didn't break up in the end!"

Some things are really weird.

Pei Zhenming was the biggest opposition party of Merovie X Eugene CP at the beginning, but now he is more willing than anyone else to believe the beautiful story that Han Fu told when he held him that night—maybe there were twists and turns in the middle, but in the end they still Overcoming all difficulties together, happily living in seclusion in the countryside, and made so many sweet and naughty perfumes together.

He couldn't believe that the story ended like this anyway.

Because, a person who is willing to risk his life to take care of his lover will never give up this relationship because of this level of hindrance.What's more, he had personally seen the look in Merovey's eyes when he looked at Eugene.

Merovie Glass is Pei Zhen's most respected and favorite perfumer since he entered the industry.He has always felt that a man who can create perfume works to the point of perfection is probably a lunatic who is full of fragrance and can't pretend to be anyone, so he stays unmarried all his life.

He even once thought that he could understand the glory of loneliness - if he hadn't met Han Fu, he would probably be like Merovie, living alone with his favorite perfume for the rest of his life.

But he was wrong.

Eugene was the little fool obsessed with perfume.But Morovie is the same as Han Fu in a certain sense, just a purely enviable talent.

In this kind of people's world, perfume is just the second child of ten thousand years, and sometimes even the second child is not ranked.

And the reason why they have endless inspiration and creativity is just because they are desperately in love with someone.
