During the plum rainy season in the south of the Yangtze River during the Yong'an period, Yan Qingyan, a girl from a scholarly family, found a half-soaked inkstone in front of the library. Just when Shen, a handsome man in the capital, smashed the cricket jar and crashed into her world - crabapples covered the bluestone slab. In the panic of the first encounter, there was a foreshadowing of a half-life fate.
He is the son of a silk merchant who is full of fireworks, and is proficient in cricket fighting and horse racing; she is the legitimate daughter of the Yan family soaked in the fragrance of ink, who can imitate Orchid Pavilion and compile ancient books at her fingertips. The sweet-scented osmanthus cake in the green plum period was sweeter than the years, and the wooden kite flew far away carrying the promise, but the news was cut off due to the turmoil in the capital and family changes. When we met again, he was the libertine that everyone ridiculed, and she was a famous talented woman in the south of the Yangtze River. Misunderstandings were like misunderstandings, but he protected her in the Shihui Society, shielded her from the knife in times of crisis, and used his actions to shed the dandy mask.
From the scent of ink in the library to the awning boat on Jianhu Lake, from the crisis in the silk village to the difficulty of giving birth to a son, he taught her how to calculate accounts and study ancient books, and she integrated the scent of books into business for him. The inkstone stained with ink is full of lovesickness, and the wooden crickets hide the unsaid thoughts. In the end, the two of them held hands and turned the bumps in the misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River into a warm sound for the rest of their lives.
