1925: The dark fragrance

The dark fragrance

Yun bixue looked at Wang Qianjin's expression, and her heart skipped a beat."Cousin, can you understand these characters? What do you mean?"2

Yun bixue would usually address Wang Qianjin as 'cousin' in private.

When the two of them were outside, they addressed each other by their names, so no one knew about their relationship.

There wouldn't be any trouble.

Wang Qianjin's charming eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was thinking of something.

Hearing Yun bixue's question, he answered seriously,""This should be an ancient rune. It should be an inherited rune that represents a certain meaning. There should be an ancient book at home that is similar to the runes on this."

Yun bixue furrowed her brows and mumbled,""Ancient runes?"

Wang Qianjin looked at it for a while, then put the bracelet down.""Give me a moment, I'll go get the ancient book."

"Alright," he said.

Wang Qianjin then opened the door next to the secret room. Inside were the Wang family's ancient books that had been passed down from his ancestral home.

Yun bixue merely sat on the chair and examined the bracelet. As she looked at it, something flashed across her mind. However, it was only for a moment, and she couldn't catch anything.

She picked up the comb next to her. The comb was very ordinary, there was nothing special about it. There was not even a symbol or mark.

Just as Yun bixue was about to put it down, a thought flashed across her mind. Her hand paused, and she placed the comb back to her nose to take a sniff.

"Doubt?" Yun bixue's heart skipped a beat. She continued to smell it carefully. This wooden comb smelled different.

This kind of wooden comb exuded a delicate fragrance, which was different from the currently popular and sold combs.

It seemed to be made of a special wood.

After a short while, Wang Qianjin walked out with an ancient book in his hand. He said to Yun bixue,""The runes on this are similar to the ones on the bracelet."

As he spoke, Wang Qianjin noticed that Yun bixue kept sniffing at the wooden comb. He asked in confusion,""Can you see anything?"

Yun bixue nodded and said,"I think this wooden comb has the fragrance of wood. It should be a natural fragrance that can emit such a scent. I don't think this kind of material can be found on the market. If we can find the location of the wood, we might be able to find some clues."

Hearing this, Wang Qianjin's heart skipped a beat. He put down the ancient book, took the wooden comb, and sniffed it. "That's true. Back then, this wooden comb was very ordinary, and I didn't think much of it. It was just something that my mother left behind, so I kept it. Also, I remember that when I was young, my mother liked this comb very much. She couldn't bear to use it, but she always left it on the dressing table."

Yun bixue knew that these were all clues.

"I'll record this smell and then search for this material all over the world. " Yun bixue had her own businesses in other parts of the world, so he believed that she would be of some help.

"Yes!" Wang Qianjin also nodded."Wait for my order. Go to the production sites of wood and furniture in the various countries to look for them."

After speaking, Wang Qianjin flipped open the ancient book for Yun bixue to read.

Yun bixue placed the bangle on the ancient book and asked in surprise,""The characters are really the same. This ancient book was passed down from our country, right?"

"This was passed down by our ancestors, and it has at least a few hundred years of history."

"But we can't understand these characters at all!" Yun bixue felt a little depressed.

Wang Qianjin consoled him."I can't understand the runes in this chapter, but I can understand the rest of the chapters. Furthermore, these are all books that record our country. It means that it might be the language of a certain family or clan member from hundreds of years ago."
