There are many nobles in the Capital City, but for Manager Leng to show such caution and respect towards someone, that person must certainly be extraordinary.
Qin Yuan nodded and said, "Perhaps Manager Leng could call over a clerk. I'll just ask a few trivial questions and then leave."
Manager Leng hurriedly objected, "Ranxiang Inn is a shop owned by the Marquis Mansion, and I count myself as half a member of it. How could I possibly slight the owner's interests? Prince Qi is here today, merely to inquire about perfumes, and he'll leave shortly."
Seeing his apprehension, Qin Yuan decided not to argue further.
The store of Ranxiang Inn was very large, about three to four times the size of ordinary shops. The interior was vast, with many cabinets made of nanmu set against the walls, reaching from floor to ceiling, neatly divided into numerous small drawers, each labeled with a light-colored wooden tag indicating the name of the incense stored within.
