The Xie Family all studied law, possessing the fine qualities expected of a scholarly family. Xie Shang too had them: elegance, deep learning, a Fragrance Connoisseur versed in classics, also skilled in zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting.
But he was mad, capable of reciting the scriptures while holding a Buddha statue, as well as breaking people's hand and foot bones, very gentle, yet very cruel.
Xie Shang didn't become a lawyer but opened a pawnshop instead, where you could pawn anything as long as the story was compelling.
One day, someone came to the pawnshop and told a story:
In Fragrant City, there was a family with the surname Wen, where daughters took their mother's surname. The daughters of that family could cast spells, the kind that bewitched men, leaving their lovers either buried with them or taking vows of celibacy; in short, either dead or destined for a lonely life.
Xie Shang's uncle had died in Fragrant City, which is why he accepted this particular pawning business.

Behind Granny Zhu's house next door was an old sweet osmanthus tree with lush branches that reached over the wall and into Xie Shang's yard. The branches that had been shaking belonged to this sweet osmanthus tree and the instigator was still lying on the tree.


The branches of the sweet osmanthus weren't thick, but she wasn't afraid of falling.


Xie Shang walked to the tree: "What are you doing up there?"


Wen Changling pressed her face against the tree bark and took several seconds to realize someone was talking to her. Holding onto the tree, she looked down: "The hedgehog is going to prick me."


As she spoke, she puffed up her cheeks, continually blowing.
