The wealthy man who wears books

After all, Zhong Xin was young and healthy. Although the burns were hard to heal in the hot weather, the injuries on his body had indeed improved a lot.

It's just that the time when the old scabs are fading and new flesh is growing secretly, not only will there be a sharp pain, but there will be an unbearable itching at the wound.

When Qin Huai was applying medicine to those semi-scabby areas, he could feel the faint throbbing from his warm and firm skin, but looking at his face, he still showed a motionless expression.

He was inexplicably moved.

The person in front of me who always suppresses his own physical and mental temperament, wonders if it will be like a dormant volcano, when it is about to erupt, it will be out of control.

Zhong Xin, who was lying prone on the bed, suddenly spoke.

"Just now I saw my sister-in-law writing something over there, but she was very serious. Could it be that I can't trust Lao Qi, and am I calculating the expenses in Bochun Garden?"

Although his voice was faint, it was the first time that Qin Huai heard a sense of teasing himself in his tone.

This little uncle, who was always humble and silent, actually had a slight change in his day and night with him.

"I don't know how to pay any bills. With my uncle in charge, I am happy and relaxed. The book is just a list of some flowers, herbs and fruits. It turned out that I saw my uncle brewing the spices, and I became addicted. I also thought about it myself, thinking about adding some flavors, and getting some fragrances and perfumes out of it."

Zhong Xin glanced at him slightly, saw that he had applied the ointment for himself, and was wiping his hands with a wet handkerchief, so he quickly pulled up his trousers, covering his semi-exposed strong hips and legs, and sat up with his upper body bare.

"Lao Qi still remembers the night when I was scalded. My sister-in-law said that when I brewed the spice, there must be some problems, so I couldn't do it. How about this time, my sister-in-law told me to listen."

Qin Huai knew that in his heart, he was always thinking about these things that could help him achieve success.

Although I have joined hands with him, in the end, in the end, will he allow himself to be rich and prosperous as he promised, or will he be the only one left to reach the top as he said at the end of the novel? I really don't know.

But now, in the bottom of my heart, I still choose to believe him.

"Uncle really trusts me. After all, I've been messing around for a while. But since I've believed in me, I'll tell you a little bit about my experience in making spices."

Qin Huai took out the bottle of spices left over from the fryer that Zhong Xin boiled last time, out of the cold water.

"That day I saw that when my uncle prepared this spice, he seemed to follow some ancient recipe to select the source of fragrance, flowers, fruits and herbs, and there were many varieties. It is said that if there is a recipe to follow, it should be fine when concocting, but uncle is Didn't you feel depressed all the time, and finally couldn't smell the perfume in the prescription?"

Qin Huai's question was very direct.

Because through the last few observations, from the incense material Zhong Xin chose to the process of his brewing, he has already guessed that he must be trial-producing Zhong's most famous perfume, Zhong Osmanthus. '

Especially after Shouzhen was locked in his hands, the types of incense materials he prepared were greatly increased, and there were obviously a lot more ways.Based on the principle of chemistry, the ingredients in those fragrant materials will definitely synthesize and transform each other.Apparently, Lao Qi not only stole the secret recipe, but also began to put it into action at an accelerated pace.

It's just that although he has the formula, he doesn't know the modulation principle contained in the formula.Therefore, every time Qin Huai smells the scent he prepared, it is still far from 'Zhong Osmanthus'.

Zhong Xin nodded, seemed to hesitate for a while, but suddenly walked in front of Qin Huai, and lowered his voice to an extremely low voice:

"I don't hide it from my sister-in-law now. The Zhong family's ancestral secret recipe is indeed in my hands. It's just that although I prepared it according to that recipe, I tried and failed repeatedly, and never succeeded."

After saying this, the two looked at each other.

Qin Huai only felt his heart beating wildly. This man who has been hiding himself all this time actually told himself this extremely important matter.

Whether it's trust or temptation with ulterior motives, Qin Huai is not sure at this moment, but he clearly feels that the film between uncle and sister-in-law seems to be a little thinner.

Qin Huai thought for a while and made up his mind, so he whispered a few words to Zhong Xin.

Zhong Xin looked into his excited eyes and nodded.Soon, the two avoided the servants and quietly came to the small room.

Qin Huai walked to the table where the incense source was put aside, and said:

"I'm going to get straight to the point with my uncle right now. Just take a look at the sources of these fragrances. There are not only woody herbs, flowers, herbs, and fruits, but also bones or visceral glands of various animals. Take one product alone, and they all contain strange fragrances. Similarly, I saw that when my uncle prepared the incense, although he had thought about it, and he didn't blindly mix it, but after all, it was not refined enough in terms of the sequence of ingredients, the matching of incense materials, and the mutual generation and restraint."

He picked up a piece of musk from the desk, and picked up a bunch of dried osmanthus, and said:

"For example, there are two kinds of fragrance sources, one is the fragrance of animal glands, and the other is the fragrance of plant stamens. When taking it, musk is suitable for borneol and pearl powder. After they are ground and baked together, they are mixed for flavor. The pistil should be mashed with fresh perilla and mint, and then added with alum to extract the juice to extract its flavor. If you simply mix these two sources of fragrance, it will not produce a strange fragrance.”

When Qin Huai said this, he felt ashamed in his heart.

It turns out that although he is a fine professional, he has not been able to study spices so meticulously.Just because last semester, I happened to read a book called "Agarwood Thousand Years A Dream", which was written vividly and interestingly. It introduced the knowledge of various spices in a semi-professional and semi-encyclopedic way, which aroused Qin Huai's interest , from beginning to end.

But now, with a fairly good memory, he used his comprehension skills to describe the spices in front of him one by one, which made Zhong Xin's eyes straighten.

There seemed to be a very incomprehensible look on his face, staring at the rouge on Qin Huai's brow, as if confirming, quietly said:

"After hearing what my sister-in-law said, Lao Qi knew that there is so much knowledge in this spice. It's a pity that although I am in a family of spices, I don't have the chance to know this. But I am really curious, and I really don't know where my sister-in-law is. What kind of place is the Tangzi, so that the sister-in-law can get so many things, it really makes Lao Qi dumbfounded."

Qin Huai's heart skipped a beat, but his expression didn't change, he even smiled and said:

"Uncle's words are full of mystery. I don't know whether uncle is curious about me or the hall. If uncle wants to go to the hall to see it, it will be convenient. It's just that uncle looks To describe it, it’s easy to go, but if you want to come out clean, it’s even more difficult.”

Zhong Xin was originally suspicious of his life experience, but unexpectedly, Qin Huai beat him up and brought the topic back to himself.

He knew that the other party was evading, so he glanced at him slightly, and then said in a low voice:

"Lao Qi doesn't have the slightest interest in the people in that hall. If you want to come to that filthy place, it is not easy to grow a pure lotus that is not stained by mud. Others, it's not that Lao Qi looks down on others, but only But I'm not really interested."

When the two of them said this, they both seemed to feel something in their hearts, but they fell silent.

After a long while, Qin Huai said to Zhong, "I dropped so many bookbags just now, it's like talking on paper, why not pick spices now, according to the recipe, and test it, after all, the spices are prepared in thousands of ways, so we can Even after trying hundreds of times, it’s definitely not that easy to get.”

Zhong Xin nodded, and was about to speak, but suddenly his face changed. After listening to the window, he quietly gestured towards Qin Huai, raised his voice slightly, and said:

"Alright, since you want to try this prescription, my sister-in-law took off her clothes, and I will help you unlock the chastity lock on your body and take out the prescription!"

Qin Huai: "..."

************************************************

After Yu Tinglan's miscarriage, the young mistress of the second room was recuperating on the bed for several days, but she gradually regained her composure.

Although she is unruly and domineering, in terms of scheming, she is not very deep.

It's just that after the pain of bereavement, I've been lying on the bed these days, always entangled in the matter of miscarriage, and after thinking about it, I slowly noticed some problems.

Because she thought about the day when she had an accident, she had been lazily going out in the room, but Zhong Xiu, who rarely came to the door these days, suddenly came and said how fine the weather was, so she insisted on dragging herself to the garden.

And it's nothing more than a stroll, she still led herself to such a remote place with few people.Originally, it was the place where Que'er was burned to death. There were many people in Zhong's family who avoided it. With Zhong Xiu's intelligence and thoughtfulness, how could he not know.

Thinking of this, and thinking of the conversation between her and her servant girl that day, in a few words, she used the scene to make her feel, and talked about it.After that, he mentioned what Que'er said, and explained clearly the abortion of several girls in the family and the flirtatious sixth young master.At that time, I only thought it was a private chat behind my back, but now that I think about it, it looks like I was deliberately trying to annoy myself.

As soon as she thought about this, and also thought about Zhong Xiusu's close relationship with Zhong Yi, she felt more and more that she had suffered the secret loss of the two brothers and sisters.

At this moment, she didn't think about the fact that she was stealing people behind her husband and brother-in-law's back, and was pregnant with evil seeds. Instead, she was full of thoughts about how she had been cheated by them to have a child. The bedroom rushed out.

It just so happened that Zhong Yi was entering the room carrying a small brocade bag. When he saw her, his complexion darkened immediately, and he threw the bag on the ground in front of her, and said very coldly:

"It's just right for you to come out now. The thing I mentioned the day before yesterday has been taken back today, so you can put it on now."

Yu Tinglan was stunned for a while, her complexion was white and then dark, a mouthful of anger rushed in her throat, she lowered her head to pick up the bundle and opened it, it turned out to be a chastity lock made of unknown material.

She stared at the thing hanging from the copper lock with both eyes, and clenched her silver teeth tightly, and suddenly she used force with both hands, and she tried to tear it apart desperately.

Zhong Yi saw that she was acting crazy, so he ignored her, lit a cigarette by himself, and flipped through a magazine on the side.

At this time, someone outside the window suddenly heard a sweet smile saying, "You wait for me outside for a while, I will go in by myself. During this time, my sister-in-law will still be resting on the bed. I will only talk to my second brother before leaving."

That voice turned out to be Zhong Xiu and her personal girl.

Yu Tinglan tore it hard for a while, but she didn't know what kind of material the lock was made of, it was as flexible as skin, no matter how hard she tried, it didn't budge at all.She was in annoyance, when she heard Zhong Xiu's voice, her eyes suddenly widened a little, she stopped her hands, and stood quietly to one side.

Sure enough, in an instant, the door curtain was lifted, and Zhong Xiu, dressed in a light green dress, entered the room gracefully.

Zhong Yi raised his head to look at her, his complexion softened, he threw away the magazine in his hand, pointed at Ting Lan with his chin, and said:

"Why do you have time to come here now? Because I gave your sister-in-law a big gift. She is in a bad mood and crazy. If you come now, don't run into bad luck. If you have anything to say, I will go out with you and talk about it." .”

As he spoke, he stood up, but Yu Tinglan on one side rushed between him and Zhong Xiu, pinched his waist and said sharply:

"Your surname Zhong, now that you have taken my fault, do you really think you can bully me? When did I go crazy, and what do you mean I got into my bad luck? Tell me clearly! Why, your sister is here , you let her hide from me, what kind of plague god am I, to hurt her bodhisattva!"

After roaring wildly in her mouth, she grabbed the chastity lock in her hand again, and gave it to Zhong Xiu, gritted her teeth and said, "What a bodhisattva second sister, look at what this is, this is your brother Give me a big gift, take a good look, is this a good gift!"

Zhong Yifang wanted to step forward to stop her, but Zhong Xiu waved his hand at him, with a pair of dimples still hanging on his face, reached out and took the chastity lock, shook it lightly, and said:

"I didn't expect that Lao Shi's bones are much lighter than I thought, sister-in-law, you have heard the old saying, goose feathers are sent thousands of miles away, but gifts are light and affectionate. Although this thing is light, it is full of elder brother's love for you." Out of affection, I think we specially found this thing for you, and locked your body and mind, because we are afraid that you will go on the wrong path again. Sister-in-law and younger sister are also women, and I know that in this matter of men and women, women suffer more after all. When you wear it, men can't take advantage of it, and you can naturally keep your reputation, and you don't have to worry about giving birth to a child, but you don't match your blood type, wouldn't it be great!"

Yu Tinglan heard her say these words, every sentence was gentle and sweet, but it was as if a sharp knife had been stabbed in her heart, her face was pale with anger, full of resentment, she only pointed at Zhong Xiu said:

"Okay, very good, I knew that it must be your idea behind the scenes to wear this thing for me. It's just my good sister, since you are so kind to me, I don't know if you have left some for you Myself. As you said, I broke my reputation and committed crimes, so I can’t even support my children. So I want to remind you now, if I just follow the sixth child, the children I have will not be able to survive. Now that you are entangled with your own brother every day, flirting and sneaking, it is better to wear this lock upper body quickly, don't wait for the evil seed to be born, it is a trivial matter whether you can live or not, if you lose your asshole, you will be killed. The face of the family is completely lost!"

At this moment, she was already full of hatred and resentment, so in the end, she cursed viciously.

Zhong Xiu, who was on the opposite side, immediately changed his color when he heard her say these words. His eyes, which were usually soft and charming, revealed an extremely cold light, and suddenly shouted sharply:

"elder brother!"

She only yelled once, and Zhong Yi rushed behind Yu Tinglan with a dark face, and pinned her arms on his back, and let her yell and yell, but he only lowered his hands and lifted her up. Her arm was so painful that Yu Tinglan suddenly lost all strength.

Zhong Xiu walked up to her slowly, stared at her for a while, then stretched out her hand suddenly, and slapped Yu Tinglan on the left and right, and slapped her several times, making her sway left and right, mouth full It was blood, and he was so angry and painful that he passed out on Zhong Yi's body.

Zhong Xiu stopped until his palms were numb from the beating, and looked at Yu Tinglan's bloody face, but his eyes still seemed to be unable to get rid of the evil spirit that she cursed.

After a while, she suddenly lowered her voice, and said quietly to Zhong Yi:

"The well in the back garden, after a while in autumn, I don't know if anyone still goes to play by the well, or complains and misses the dead child by the well..."

Hearing her words, Zhong Yi glanced at Zhong Xiu and nodded slightly.
