Perfumer of the Republic of China

Liu Yanhuan stopped what she was doing, her eyes stayed on the two bold characters, and she asked casually, "Do you know Huai Mo?"

Liu Jingzhi hurriedly put away the book, and quickly glanced at Liu Yanhuan: "I... I just like reading his books."

"The book he wrote? Let me see."

Liu Yanhuan glanced at the plain cover, and slowly opened it.

It turned out to be a crime novel.

That Huai Mo is a detective novel author?Feelings, he solves cases for others, all in order to find material for novels?

"Are his books good?"

"It's beautiful. He often publishes books, which are very popular in the market, but father usually doesn't let me read them."

Liu Yanhuan looked at Liu Jingzhi's slightly drooping head, pressed his index finger on his lips, and said softly, "Don't worry, brother will keep this secret for you."

After seeing his sister off, he glanced at the list in his hand, wrote down all the ingredients he needed on the paper, and planned to find a pharmacy to fill in the missing ingredients in winter.

When I walked to the entrance of the downtown area, I found that the Jia's drugstore, which used to be crowded with people, has closed its door tightly with a seal on it.

There are occasional passers-by at the door, pointing at the pharmacy.

Liu Yanhuan stopped passers-by and asked, "What's wrong with this pharmacy?"

The passer-by smiled and said, "You don't know yet, the pharmacy owner has been arrested and thrown into prison."

"Prison?" Liu Yanhuan couldn't believe it, "Do you know why?"

"I heard that it was because the money borrowed from Mr. Qin was not repaid, so the police took him away."

"Master Qin?" Liu Yanhuan continued to ask, "Who is that?"

"No way, you don't even know Third Master Qin?" Passers-by looked at Liu Yanhuan as if they were looking at a monster.

"Have you heard of Taihe Bank? One of the three major banks in Huaguo is the property of the Qin family."

The man pointed to the center of the downtown area: "Look, that's Taihe Bank. Those who do business on the street want to occupy a place next to Taihe Bank so that they can get close to the Qin family. If something happens in the future, There is also a place to borrow money for emergencies."

Liu Yanhuan looked at the dense flow of people in front of Taihe Bank, and suddenly realized that in the 21st century, when the financial industry is developed, it is very common for people to deposit money in banks for investment, but in this era, people like the Liu family Traditional families obviously cannot accept the existence of banks.There is an account room at home, and the money is stored in the account room, and the amount required for buying, selling and withdrawing every month is settled in the account room.

"There are three brothers in the Qin family. The first two are from the womb of a mother. They are legitimate sons of the Qin family. The eldest son is in charge of the savings business, the second son has stayed abroad and has not returned, and the third son of the concubine is in charge of the business. lending business."

Liu Yanhuan nodded silently upon hearing this.

"The Qin family used to have some background, and they worked in usury. The martial arts hall at home raised a group of debt collectors. If the debts are not repaid, first the hands and feet will be broken, and then the eyes will be gouged out. If the bones are hard, you will be killed." They tied up their family members and tried everything to force people to pay back the money.”

Liu Yanhuan felt chills behind her back when she heard it: "Is it still like this now?"

"How can it be? Now is the new dynasty. The Qin family has said that they want to be law-abiding citizens and turn into a regular bank. But the stall that the third son of Qin took over is the old capital of the Qin family. These three sons are vigorous and cunning Well, anyone who offends him will not be able to please him, so even though he is not very old, he is honored as the third master in the trading house."

Liu Yanhuan thought about Master Jia's demeanor back then, and felt that the prison was pretty good, and even the image of Third Master Qin became cute.

In a good mood, he went to another pharmacy to buy cloves for two yuan and Baizhi for one yuan, and then went straight to the incense store.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw the shop assistant wiping the chopping board.

"Guest officer, this is your first time here. We have good fragrances here. Take a look."

Liu Yanhuan looked around. In the quaint incense shop, besides him, there was another customer in black leather.

Hearing the man's voice, the man turned his head and glanced at Liu Yanhuan.

The boss opened a can of incense pills as if offering a treasure, and handed it to Liu Yanhuan: "Look, this is the 'Su Neihan Poor Yaxiang' newly prepared by the shop."

Liu Yanhuan sniffed and shook her head gently.

"But the taste is not to your liking, take a look at this again..."

Liu Yanhuan pointed to Su Neihan's poor yamen incense and said: "The white sandalwood inside is a bit burnt, the frankincense and wine are not cooked enough."

Hearing this, the clerk's expression froze for three minutes, and he smiled apologetically, "The guest officer is an expert, but the small shop's door is axe. I don't know what the guest officer wants here?"

"stove."

"Is it wood or porcelain?"

"A fine copper stove."

The man let out a sigh of relief: "The guest officer is so determined, he must have already made up his mind, I don't know which kind of stove in the shop he has taken a fancy to."

"That." Liu Yanhuan raised her finger and pointed to a copper stove with two ears and three legs on the cutting board of the counter.

"This?" The guy's face suddenly collapsed.

"What, is there a problem?"

"This stove was first spotted by my husband."

Liu Yanhuan turned around upon hearing this, and saw the man in black staring at him behind him.

At this time, there was a sound of steady footsteps on the stairs on the second floor.

Wearing a shirt and trousers, and a pair of neat leather boots on his feet, Qin Feiran slowly walked up to Liu Yanhuan: "Master Liu, what a coincidence, we meet again."

Liu Yanhuan frowned slightly, and took a step back indistinctly: "You want that stove?"

"Yes."

Every time Liu Yanhuan saw the smile on this person's face, she always felt that there was hypocrisy from the inside out, making people wish to tear off his mask.

"I don't know how much money the husband wants to give up his love?"

Qin Feiran stared openly at Liu Yanhuan's slender neck and straight back.

"I said, I'm not short of money." There was a hint of a smile in Qin Feiran's voice.

"Then what do you want?"

As soon as the words finished, a handsome face suddenly magnified in front of Liu Yanhuan's eyes: "One sweet kiss is exchanged for one stove."

"Prodigal son!" Liu Yanhuan raised her foot and stepped on Qin Feiran's fine leather boots.
