The rich man and the poor man

The cause of the incident was that Han Fu had promised Yu Wenzhe a long time ago that he would take him to an auction house where he could buy out-of-print antiques.

But later, they participated in PA and created works together. After the works became popular, they had to go to human flesh publicity and various photo booths to sell their faces from time to time. Both of them were too busy to find their way.

This caused the matter to be delayed again and again.Han Fu himself felt very embarrassed that he had delayed for more than a year by accident.

That day, a TV station invited the two of them to be guests together to record a small program on perfume evaluation.

When I came back, it was just dusk, which was the busiest time of day for the trading house, so Han Fu stepped on the accelerator and finally took Yu Wenzhe to drive to the largest auction house in S City to open his eyes.

The huge row, each area is noisy and orderly, and the old clocks jingle, making people feel as if they have traveled back to the last century through time and space.

That night, Pei Zhen was shoveling excrement for his master at home when he heard a key ring by the door.

"Zhenzhen~Zhenzhen! I bought something very powerful today!"

His family, Han Xiaohua, had a happy and proud face, even changing shoes made the shoe cabinet rattle.

Before he rushed over, Pei Zhen quickly shook the disposable gloves, indicating that he hadn't washed his hands yet.

So Han Fu could only stop abruptly one meter in front of him, holding back his joy.He looks very small when he smiles, his dark eyes are sparkling, his little tear mole is very pretty, and his overflowing youthfulness makes Pei Zhen's fingers tremble slightly under the plastic film.

Hurry up and wash your hands.

Then you can press people on the sofa and poke and pinch them at will.

Xiaoju let out a "meow" and jumped into the yard knowingly. Pei Zhen really felt that his own cat owner...was really different from other people's cat owners.

In other people's homes, cat owners are always at the top of the food chain.But in their family, at least in Pei Zhen's eyes, if Xiaoju and Han Fu had to choose one, he would 100% love Han Fu.And Xiaoju seems to have accepted this reality a long time ago.

Han Fu followed Pei Zhen all the way, hiding something with his hands behind his back the whole time, his eyes were crooked, and he wanted to be cunning.As soon as Pei Zhen finished washing his hands, the young man eagerly pulled his still wet paws onto the sofa, and took out small envelopes like presenting treasures.

"Zhenzhen, look at this!"

"..." Pei Zhen looked helpless when he saw the familiar logo on the envelope, "Did you go to the auction house again?"

Han Fu: "Hey hey."

In fact, Pei Zhen felt that this little duck's consumption habits were a little different from the time when the two were still in a "nurturing relationship".

Every time I take "Little Duck" to the street, high-end sunglasses, limited-edition sneakers, famous watches that show a man's identity, golf equipment...things that men are more or less interested in, can't make him look twice shine.

He even acted as if he didn't care about taking him to a luxury car show.It stands to reason that cars are like wives to most men, and there is almost no man who doesn't like cars, but Han Fu still remains unmoved.

It was later revealed that Han Fu was a second-generation man, and Pei Zhen finally felt that the logic was correct—but even if he was a second-generation man, unless he was a miser like Grandet, he must be willing to spend money to buy things, right?

So Pei Zhen quietly observed for a while.

After discovering that Han Fu had turned back into the rich second generation, he still had to eat and live with him with peace of mind, and continued to spend no money.

So Pei Zhen was quite happy for him when he saw some strange things he brought back from some strange places, such as auction houses and antique associations a few times ago.

Gouzi finally learned to spend money to enjoy himself.

And if you think about it carefully, this is also logical-the real rich people have long been familiar with luxury villas, yachts, swimming pools, private jets and the like.I bought everything I could buy, but I still had money and no place to spend it. In the end, most of them like to do some weird "antique collections".

It is never uncommon to spend tens of millions to buy a broken medieval painting, or a broken bowl from the Northern Song Dynasty.

Anyway, if you have a lot of money, you are not afraid to make money.

However, as the neat and exquisite glass showcase in the study room at home was gradually filled with all kinds of neurotic second-hand goods that Han Fu secretly bought back, Pei Zhen felt a little regretful.

What is the ring worn by Coco Chanel, the perfume bottle used by Giovanni Maria Farina, the original business certificate of the fragrance museum founded by Alexander Aleg...

There are really all kinds of messy blind things.

And in Pei Zhen's view, many of them don't have necessary supporting documents.I feel like he can change into a costume and go to the auction house, take an old shirt, say it was worn by Merovie Glass back then, as long as the story is well-rounded, it is estimated that a stupid dog with a lot of money in his family can do it He took out the money in a daze.

In short, there are more and more inexplicable ghost things in the house now, which are incompatible with the simple and bright design style of the home.

... If it doesn't catch your eye, it won't catch your eye.

After all, Pei Zhen was reluctant to say "no buying".Han Fu only has such a small and innocuous interest, and every time he buys a small rag, he can always be happy for several days, so he can only comfort himself, thinking that it is worth spending money to buy such a bright smile. .

……

This time, the "antique" that Han Fuxin sold was a letter.

Han Fu: "This letter is so cheap, it's only over 3000, and no one snatched it up. I missed it."

Pei Zhen: "..."

An old faded envelope with half a trace of wax on it.However, what is contained in it is not so much a "letter" as a note, or it is not even a note.

The old yellowed rectangle is the size of a palm, as if it had been carefully hand-cut with a knife from a whole sheet of paper, with a strange sharp corner on one side.

Pei Zhen: More than 3000 you buy a piece of torn paper.

Okay, fine, as long as you're happy.I try my best to be Buddhist.

On the torn paper, there were still a few lines of dark blue pen handwriting that had faded a lot, and it was almost as exquisite and gorgeous as printed French. Pei Zhen leaned over and translated word by word with a frown——

To my favorite sweeter-than-sugar darling:

All the above statements are false.

The wind exists because it blows roses, and the starry sky exists because it shines on the sky.

And I exist because I love you.

There was only such a strange little love poem with no beginning and no end on the whole piece of paper. Pei Zhen was inexplicably stunned, and was a little confused: "...What is this? An antique love letter?"

"Zhenzhen, this is not an ordinary antique love letter." Han Fu's eyes sparkled, full of excitement and mystery, "You don't know, this letter is actually from the founder of Belle, Merovie Glass. It is said that there are more than one of the old mansions that were bombed in France during World War II, and there is actually a large pile of them, all of which are similar little love letters!"

"Zhenzhen," Han Fu said here, stretched out his hand and shook Pei Zhen's eyes, as if he didn't understand why he was still calm when he heard this.

"Hasn't there always been a legend that Merowe had a 'mysterious lover'?"

"Tell me, this... could it be the love letter Merovie wrote to his lover? If it is true, then the legend will finally have conclusive evidence! It can completely prove that the matter is true!"

……

The founder of Belle, Merovie Grass, is also called "Merovie I" in many perfume books.

Born in a rich manufacturing family in France in 1910, he spent half his life creating a brilliant luxury brand, as well as a large number of unique and charming perfume works that have been handed down to this day, which is still admired by Pei Zhen and many perfumers. Senior master.

Of course, there are more and more interesting rumors about Merovie than other perfumers.

Whether it's the black and white photos of him wearing chain monoculars and perfect profile without dead ends, they can fully prove his handsome appearance and suave style that caused a sensation in France when he was young.

He is also his lifelong rival, the famous collection of letters "Intimate Enemies" (French original name literally translated should be "You silly X ”), and the movie "Perfume War", which was adapted based on this, is often talked about by people in the industry.

Not to mention, the "mysterious lover" that Han Fu mentioned about Moluowei has always existed in the rumors, but has never been seen in any official documents.

It is said that in order to find this person, Merovey traveled all over Europe during World War II under the rain of guns and bullets. In the end, he returned without success and was lost. For the rest of his life, he lived in seclusion in an unknown manor in the French countryside, immersed in the longing for his lover.Continue to create countless magnificent works.

All the psychedelic legends, true or false, cast a mysterious color on Merovie Glass.

Merovie I remained unmarried throughout his life, and his family property and Belle were handed over to his younger sister's descendants for management. The current head of Belle, "Merovie II", descended from that pedigree.

Although the still photos of the current old man Belle when he was young are also very handsome, and his daughter Elisa is also super beautiful.

But if I have to say it, it is really far inferior to the amorous feelings of the old man in the black and white photos.

……

For several days, Han Fu was immersed in the great sense of accomplishment of "discovering the hidden historical truth".

Early in the morning on the weekend, I drove to the library of Glass College, and frantically searched for various versions of Merovie's biography, anthology, and correspondence collection. After finding nothing, I went to the largest library in S City. archive library.

During Pei Zhen's time, the first wave of the new fragrance "Orange Cat and Summer" was successfully sold out, and he finally relaxed. He was planning to give his family and friends a vacation, and everyone had a rest to recharge their batteries.

At the same time, they also secretly planned... the two of them will spend a good time with Han Xiaohua, maybe take him abroad for a vacation or something.

So, even though he didn't believe that the 3000 yuan "antique love letter" was even the slightest bit authentic, he patiently followed Han Fu to the library.Accompanied by him with a smile, followed him all over the library in vain efforts to find and move books.

"what……"

Who would have thought that in the archives library of City S, there was a color version of the hardcover collection of letters from Merrowey & Eugene's rivals "Intimate Enemies".

In fact, basically all perfumers have read this book as a collection of jokes, and both Pei Zhen and Han Fu are familiar with it.

It is full of countless exaggerated translation accents and fancy curses, such as "Ah~ Eugene, you declining Russian idiot, stupid clock tower geek, arrogant and unknowing poisonous snake, your work is like the last banquet Like that awful apple pie that Mrs. Roslyn brought, it's just as stupid as hell..."

However, the common paperbacks on the market usually only have translated joyful content.

And this expensive hardcover book, in addition to the beautiful thick color pages and the original text before translation, there is even a high-resolution original copy of the original letter attached to a certain page illustration.

"Look carefully!"

The same blue pen handwriting, also almost as regular and beautiful cursive characters as printed matter.The library cannot be noisy, so Han Fu tried his best to keep his voice down, but he couldn't hide his excitement. He took out his mobile phone from his pocket, took out the picture of the small piece of antique letter note he took at home, and slapped a picture beside the page of the book. put.

"Look, look, is the handwriting of the love letter I bought exactly the same? The one I bought is really a love letter written by Merovie himself! Ha, ha ha..."

Pei Zhen had to admit that the handwriting was indeed very similar.

But this doesn't prove anything, does it?

First of all, this so-called "Merovie's cursive script" is written too meticulously, too suspiciously like a copybook. Do normal people really have the time to write like that?To a large extent, it is possible that it is simply a "fake handwriting" made by modern computer technology, right?

If that's the case, don't say that you are printing one or two more old fake love letters with the same handwriting to deceive people.

Even if it is true that "there is a stack" like the people in the auction house fooled, it is not a problem at all, ten stacks and a hundred stacks are not a problem!

However, Han Xiaohua looks so happy...

Pei Zhen held back his life and didn't say anything.

Anyway, whether the antique letter is genuine or not is worthless, and the existence of Merovey's mysterious lover has no effect on their lives.That being the case, isn't it cute that Han Fu is willing to believe this?Just like simple children who believe in Santa Claus, realistic adults should definitely treat them as precious animals and protect them!

Just as he was thinking, he suddenly heard Han Fu let out a soft "Huh".

"……what is this?"

Following Han Fu's long and slender fingers, Pei Zhen finally saw that the lower half of the real letter, if you look carefully, there is a rectangular mark on the brown letter paper below.

But it may be because the table under the letter was also brown when the photo was taken, which made the mark very inconspicuous. You can only see it if you look closely. It seems that someone has neatly dug out a rectangular piece of paper from the bottom.

To be precise, not a rectangle.It is in the shape of an obelisk, with a pointed corner at one end.

Han Fu's hand trembled suddenly, and the hardcover "Intimate Enemy" fell to the ground, and there was a crisp sound in the quiet library management.

Han Fu squatted down hastily. Fortunately, the book was not folded, and it was still intact when he picked it up.

He took a few deep breaths, his eyes were full of radiance as if he had discovered the New World, his voice trembled, and he put the picture on the phone and the original picture of the letter together again: "Zhenzhen, look, look!"

After the "jackal", "villain" and "the damn Russian should spend his whole life with bears in Siberia", Han Fu's "antique love letter" can be perfectly inlaid at the end of the letter .

So the end of the full text is like this - to my favorite, sweeter than sugar, the words above are all false.

The wind exists because it blows roses, and the starry sky exists because it shines on the sky.

And I exist because I love you.

"So Zhenzhen, the rumor that he fell in love with a Jewish girl is a lie. Eugene Aldoga... is actually Merovie's 'mysterious lover'?"

Pei Zhen: How is it possible!

Lifelong enemy, how could such a ridiculous thing happen? !

Obviously there is a problem with your fake antique letter, okay!

"One photo is not enough, more evidence must be found." Han Fu muttered to himself, "By the way, there may be more evidence in the French original book collection."

"Zhenzhen, shall we go to France to play?"

He looked at Pei Zhen helplessly, always felt that it was a ten-hour flight, and he didn't plan ahead, so he suddenly made such a crazy request. It is reasonable to say that Pei Zhen's personality is unlikely to agree to it readily.

In the end, Pei Zhen nodded: "Okay, let's go."

Han Fu was overjoyed: "Really? When?"

Pei Zhen: "As soon as I get home, I can prepare documents, apply for a visa and book a flight ticket."

Han Fu was very moved, looked left and saw that there was no one beside him, put his arms around his waist and put his arms on the bookshelf: "Zhenzhen, why are you so nice to me now?"

Pei Zhen: "It's not like you don't know, your father is quite scary."

Han Fu: "Hahaha."

But one size fits all, it should be good for you.Pei Zhen thought silently, but if he really went to France, he would have to work hard to find evidence to prove that Han Fu's antique letter was absolutely impossible to be real.

It doesn't matter who the mysterious lover is, but why can't anyone be Eugene?
