Bai Xin made the Tangerine Truly Fragrance, which produces three kinds of smells after burning. At first, people didn’t believe it. They only thought Bai Xin was exaggerating. People who bought it had a stubborn heart and deliberately smelled it carefully, but they didn’t want to smell it after burning. There are really three different scents. At first, it is a cool orange scent. Needless to say, after burning, the orange scent fades, and it will become a charming aroma, and finally it will emit the strong breath of Jiangzhen fragrance.

Everyone was very fresh, and some people showed off the Tangerine Fragrance made by Bai Xin to their friends. In just a few days, this Tangerine Fragrance became famous and became more and more popular.

It's just that Bai Xin is a small stall after all, no matter how famous he is, he still can't get into the eyes of some wealthy families, and it's only famous in Zhuquemen in the south of the city, that's all, enough for Bai Xin to earn a lot of money.

It's also fortunate that there is an extra mute in the family to help, otherwise, the Bai family would be really busy.

One day, when Bai Xin was setting up a stall, he saw Cheng Wenren staggering over. You don't need to approach him, just by looking at his leisurely posture, you can tell that he is a rich young man, but he is a good-hearted young rich man. Bai Xin himself Laughed first.

Cheng Wenren approached, saw Bai Xin smiling, and his mood became brighter, he said: "I heard that the oranges you made are really fragrant, and they are so good. I heard someone say that when I came here."

Bai Xin always thanked Cheng Wenren for his many help. Since he found his eldest sister, he disappeared for a while, and he didn't even send out the presents he had prepared. When he saw him this time, he hurriedly handed over the gift box he carried with him, saying : "Thank you for your help last time. A small gift is not a tribute, and there is nothing valuable inside. It is just some fragrances made by myself."

Fortunately, he knew that Cheng Wenren would only go to the stall to find him, so he always carried this palm-sized small box with him.

Cheng Wenren took the gift box, his eyes lit up, he heard that it was a fragrance, he sniffed it subconsciously, but saw that even the box was dyed fragrant and fresh, he couldn't help liking it even more, "Why are you being polite to me? It's just driving a carriage to take you Going to the west of the city is just a matter of effort for me, and it doesn’t really take much effort.”

At first, Cheng Wenren really only admired Bai Xin's calm temperament, and felt that it was like a trickle of water. He was neither aggressive like a rich boy nor shy like a poor boy. He was very natural and easygoing. The longer he got along with him, the more comfortable he felt. Cheng Wenren hasn't said that he wants to see each other every day, but he just thinks of Bai Xin occasionally, so he comes over to talk, or eat together, and he thinks it's good.

While the two of them were talking, a tall and dull man came from a distance, heading straight for Bai Xin's stall.

Seeing this, Cheng Wenren put away his smile and put on a straight face, silently standing in front of the stall, seeing that the man was really here for Bai Xin, and he didn't come here for shopping, he couldn't help but took a step forward, and said righteously : "What do you want?"

In a word, the arrogance immediately dissipated.

Bai Xin was taken aback, then pushed him away and smiled, "What are you doing? This is my helper!"

Cheng Wenren was also stunned, and after he realized it, his face showed embarrassment, and he looked at the man suspiciously from time to time.

The person who came was none other than the mute. Originally he was quite tall, but because he was thin and skinny, he looked weak. Now that he was full at Bai Xinye's house, his body was getting stronger quickly. No wonder I have a lot of strength. When fetching water, I just carried two buckets lightly and cleverly, and filled the big water tank two or three times back and forth.

The mute remained expressionless, and took out the water from the bamboo basket on his back. It turned out that Mrs. Cao saw that it was hot today, and was afraid that Bai Xin's water would not be enough to drink, so she specially asked the mute to bring it.Bai Xin could easily understand the dumb gestures.

"You came at the right time. I'm almost finished drinking this water. I was thinking of meeting Shui Lang to buy some later. You just delivered it." Bai Xin put his hand on the jar and found it was still cold.

The mute gestured again, and Bai Xin nodded or shook his head, or said a few words.

Cheng Wenren was left alone, seeing the two seem to have a tacit communication, but couldn't understand what they were saying, he just felt uncomfortable.

The mute was actually a very measured person. Seeing that Bai Xin had a distinguished guest, although he didn't know him, he knew not to disturb him, so he just "said" briefly and left.

Looking at the mute's solid back, Bai Xin couldn't help but sigh, even though this man can't speak, he has no doubt that he is a smart man.

Cheng Wenren followed his gaze, turned his head and couldn't help but ask, "Who is this?"

Hearing that tone, there was an imperceptible questioning.

Bai Xin didn't think much about it, but thought that Cheng Wenren was unhappy because of being disturbed, so he explained with a smile: "This is my helper."

"Where did the helper come from?" Cheng Wenren's eyes were still staring at the crowd, but the back had already become blurred, "The matchmaker introduced it? Did you explain your background? Your family is orphaned and widowed, it's no different."

Bai Xin was speechless for a moment, she couldn't say that she met her the day she got lost, lest she tarnish her reputation.

Seeing that he was silent, Cheng Wenren turned his head and looked at him suspiciously.

"He's a mute. I thought he was honest, so I hired him to help. The elder brother will take care of him at home, so there shouldn't be any trouble."

"You can't lose your good intentions. The so-called knowing people, knowing their faces, but not their hearts, I think he is gloomy, and his attitude is neither humble nor overbearing. He doesn't look like ordinary people."

To say that Cheng Wenren is quite accurate in judging people, Bai Xin also saw that this dumb man seemed to have a story. Although he had been reduced to a beggar, he was at least more confident than his elder brother.

Seeing that he didn't want to talk much, Cheng Wenren felt a little unhappy.

Bai Xin didn't understand why Cheng Wenren was so good-looking, why he was so unhappy because of an irrelevant dumb, the two talked casually, and Cheng Wenren left.

When Cheng Wenren returned home, he couldn't help muttering to the dumb man. When he saw the small gift box in his arms, he became happy and quickly opened the lid. He saw a piece of bright autumn-colored brocade cloth inside, and a few pieces were stacked on it. Jiangzhenxiang, picked it up and smelled it, it really smelled like an orange fragrance, and immediately knew that it was the orange fragrance.

He took out a piece and handed it to the servant girl, who immediately began to operate. She took a piece of incense charcoal from the cabinet, burned it transparently, buried it in the snow-white incense ash, and held a long-handled incense shovel in her slender bare hands. The charcoal was buried, and the incense ashes were pressed out into a series of textures. The maid put down the incense shovel, took another incense chopstick, and pierced a round air hole in the ashes. Slightly larger than usual, this time, I took the incense clip again, picked up a piece of mica like a cicada's wing, and put it on the hole. Finally, I put the orange fragrance on it.

After a while, white smoke curled up and the fragrance lingered, filling the room with a fresh smell, which seemed to be the same as that of Bai Xin.

Cheng Wenren was dozing off with his eyes closed, when there was the sound of unhurried footsteps outside the door.

After a while, a handsome man appeared in the room. Looking carefully, this man had [-]% of Cheng Wenren's imagination, but his eyes were as sharp as eagles, and with just one glance, he could see clearly.

Cheng Wenren heard the movement, opened his eyes, got up and shouted: "Brother!"

The eldest brother of the Cheng family saw his younger brother so leisurely, and said with a wry smile: "Where have you been running all day long? Father will scold you again after he catches you."

Cheng Wenren couldn't help curling his lips, "Father is angry with me, even if I stay at home honestly, he will scold me when he sees me."

Brother Cheng was amused by his younger brother's broken attitude, "Didn't you make the old man angry?"

"Can you blame me? I brought the eldest sister back, what's wrong? The whole family should be together, and it makes the eldest sister feel even more sad when she is alone in the countryside." Cheng Wenren couldn't help thinking of Bai Xin crying silently when he found Aunt Bai, that scene It shocked him. At that moment, he missed his eldest sister like a flood, and immediately went back to Songshan Village to pick her up.

Brother Cheng sighed helplessly, "Eldest sister was dismissed, because her reputation is not good, father means to send her to the countryside to relax, is it possible that she will be happy after taking her back to the capital and listening to these gossips?"

"Anyway, eldest sister is alone during the Chinese New Year, so it's time to go home. After all, with her family to accompany her, how can she be worse than being alone?"

"You!" Brother Cheng shook his head. He didn't come here to scold his younger brother, but to remind him a few words so that he would not be scolded every day.Brother Cheng was about to leave when he paused and said casually, "Did you change the incense?"

Cheng Wenren's eyes lit up, and he smiled brightly, "Yes, does it smell good?"

Brother Cheng sniffed it, "This spice is mixed with orange fragrance. It's not a rare thing, but it smells pleasant in summer."

Cheng Wenren nodded in agreement, looking proud.

Brother Cheng didn't know how to do it, so he nodded indifferently and left.

Time flies, and the mute has been at Bai's house for more than a month. Bai Xin saw that he worked hard and was not lazy, so he paid him some wages compared to the outside world.

The mute didn't expect that not only food and housing, but also money, he was a little surprised, and stared blankly at Bai Xin for a few times, but he didn't refuse, but took it silently.

He was not pretentious like this, but Bai Xin looked at him more pleasingly, so he said: "You should save some money by yourself, mostly for the future, but fish and snakes are mixed in places like nursing homes, so be careful. Don’t let anyone see it and think about it in your heart, if it’s just stealing money, it’s fine, but if it murders you, it’s really a life and it’s gone for nothing.”

Bai Xin has been in charge of the Bai family for a long time, and he has long forgotten that he is still a half-grown child in the eyes of others. He speaks so seriously, as if the words of the elders to the younger generation are really neither fish nor fowl, especially the dumb people are tall and burly, and Bai Xin is not yet his shoulders.The mute had a strange expression, pursed his lips and frowned, then nodded slowly.
