Hidden Edge in Fragrance

Poor-tongued dandy x Perfumer who is cold on the outside and hot on the inside The Xie family in the capital city has been a prestigious family for hundreds of years, but it is like a bottomless house, with countless undercurrents hidden within its magnificent gate. The eldest grandson, Xie Linzhou, is a well-known dandy in the capital. He took over the family business at the age of fifteen, but left the pawnshop behind. He spent all day fighting crickets in Tingfeng Tower, watching operas, and exchanging his blood for a BMW. A famous insect rewarded the actor with 5,000 taels of silver, which made his ambitious second uncle Xie Mingcheng take pictures in the ancestral hall, but he shook his cricket jar and laughed: "The heroes in the drama are much more interesting than the account books." No one knows what kind of edge is hidden under this loose skin. His father was "accidentally killed" by his second uncle because he showed too much talent. What was left to Xie Linzhou was the tampered account books, the treacherous shopkeeper, and the last words of "Keep your edge in the sheath, and you will last forever." So he put on the cloak of a dandy, used his idle fun of fighting crickets to cover up others' eyes, and collected information through the chats of the tea drinkers in Fenglou. The rhythm of his fingertips tapping the cricket pot was a code for Uncle Zhong. Under the brocade robe that hid old wounds, there was a step-by-step calculation. His disguise was discovered by a woman who made perfume. Wen Ruoling, the owner of Ningxiang Pavilion, wears plain clothes and a black hairpin, as cold as the cold plum fragrance she made. Her other identity is Zhiwei Pavilion, a relay station for Jianghu news, all of which have hidden secrets. The intersection between the two began with spices and ended with a tacit understanding. Xie Linzhou deliberately ordered ten times more "soothing incense" to understand the word "" she hid in the incense ashes (which hinted at the secret meeting place between the second uncle and the Salt Transport Department); when Wen Ruoling secretly added "blood stem" to the incense when his old injury relapsed, and wrote "Wanghelou's wine was mixed with water" in ink crystal ash (reminding him that attending the banquet was a fraud). He interfered with Uncle Huang's marriage by fighting with crickets, and she used the "Ecstasy Incense" to delay the secret talks in the Salt Transportation Department; he "won" a jade thumb ring engraved with incriminating evidence at Shilang Li's house, and she had people in the world write down all suspicious figures in secret. At the Xie family's family dinner, the second uncle threw out the "deficit account book" to attack, but Xie Linzhou casually mentioned the joke about "merchant adulterating salt" told by Mr. Shu, and then changed the subject and asked the accountant to read out the tampered numbers - it turned out that he had used "dandy" as a bait to lure the second uncle to expose his flaw. During the confrontation at the ancestral hall, he shook out the account books left by his father, which contained evidence of his second uncle's collusion with the Salt Transportation Department and even the Duxiang Sect (a feud with the Wen family). The evidence accumulated during those years of "playing with things" turned into the sharpest sword at this moment. The dust settled, the second uncle was imprisoned, and Xie Linzhou officially took charge of the Xie family. He still often goes to Tingfeng Tower, but the cricket jar in his arms no longer hides the secret code. Wen Ruoling's Ningxiang Pavilion has become the purest place in the capital. Occasionally, when they sat across from each other by the window on the second floor, he would tease Cricket and laugh at the incense she mixed, "It's still cold," and she would push over a plate of Awakening Herb: "It's still sweeter than the medicine you hid in the jar." The sunlight passed through the window lattice and fell on the celadon incense bottle between the two people, and the cold plum fragrance curled up. His hidden edge finally found its home in her transparency; her world also became a little more human-like due to his dandyism. The wind of the capital city still blows through the high walls of the wealthy family, but this time, hidden in the relaxed daily life is the stability after the game, and the rest of life that needs no words. Intention: Use the hidden front as the armor to dismantle the net of power in the silent place, let the tacit understanding become the light, and illuminate the destiny of human nature behind the game.
