It was dinner time, and the Jiang family's house was located at the entrance of the village.

People who had been busy in the fields all morning and were preparing to go home for dinner stopped and took a look when they saw the carriage at the door.

Everyone was curious, is this Master Jiang coming back? But looking at the carriage, it didn't look like that. They had seen the carriages that the Jiang family had brought back before, pulled by four tall horses, and the carriages were much larger than this one.

The children didn't have so many concerns. They still remembered that in previous years, when Mr. Jiang came back, he would bring them some candy and snacks. When they saw someone at the door, they trotted over and looked into the yard.

Jiang Shian met the gaze of the three or four children at the door, paused, and a smile appeared on his expressionless face.

"Hello!"

A group of children around four or five years old were all stunned. They had never seen this person in front of them in the village. She was so pretty, even prettier than Sister Meixiang from the east end of the village.

Jiang Shian was still wearing the same clothes he wore yesterday, but the material and style of the clothes were not seen in this countryside. Several children stared at him, and their eyes stayed more on his face.

The boy in front of him had fair and delicate skin, a clear red mark between his eyebrows, and black hair tied up high with a hairband. Although a little messy, it added a sense of casual and free beauty. Under his eyebrows were slender peach blossom eyes, and when he looked at them, his smile seemed to overflow. The small mole at the corner of his eye curled up with the smile, adding a touch of seductive meaning. His lips were of moderate thickness, moist and smooth.

The children all blushed and stammered, "Hello, brother!"

Jiang Shian smiled and rubbed the head of a nearby child, saying softly, "Hello, my name is Jiang Shian. I'll live here from now on. I'm going to the town to buy some things and bring you some candies when I come back."

When the little kids heard about the candy, they nodded, then shook their heads and said shyly, "No... no, mother said we can't just ask for other people's things, it's impolite."

Jiang Shian handed the bag in his hand to Zhang Ping who was walking over, and walked towards the carriage, saying, "It's okay, I'm new here and I'm not familiar with this place, just think of it as you're here to talk to me."

The children looked at each other, nodded, and responded obediently. Looking at Jiang Shian with shining eyes, they said, "Thank you, Brother Shian!"

Jiang Shian smiled and nodded, then he grabbed a handful of their hair, which felt quite soft.

They heard their parents calling out to them from behind, and they waved to Jiang Shian and ran away quickly.

While running, I couldn't help but look back at the handsome guy in front of the door, and I sighed again in my heart that Brother Shi An is so handsome!

"Who are you talking to? Why are you laughing like that?" One of the women carrying a basket on her back asked, seeing her child running towards them with a rosy face and a big smile on his face.

The man carrying a hoe nearby glanced towards the gate and said, "Could it be that Master Jiang and his men are back? I heard some noise inside when I left home this morning."

"No, he said his name is Jiang Shian, and he's a very handsome boy! He also said he would come back and bring us some candy later." The child who was touched on the head just now said immediately.

At this point, several children showed excitement on their faces and gathered together to discuss.

However, the adults behind him were stunned for a moment.

"Shi An..." Huang Qiuxiang frowned and thought for a moment, then slapped her thigh, "It must be Lanxiang's youngest son!"

Just now I took a glimpse from a distance and saw his back. I didn't expect that he had grown so big after not seeing him for so many years. Seeing him chatting and laughing with some kids, it seemed that his illness had recovered. I wonder how Lanxiang and the others are doing?

After she reminded them, everyone around her remembered.

When Bai Lanxiang's youngest son was born, the Jiang family held a banquet. The little baby was very delicate and cute when he was young. They all loved him so much that they held him in their arms for a long time.

Bai Lanxiang is from the next village. She is very famous. She is beautiful and capable and has good relations with her neighbors. Both her parents are gone. She is so beautiful that many men in the village have their eyes on her.

But not long after, I heard that she was engaged to the eldest son of the Jiang family.

At that time, there were many unmarried men in the village who were gritting their teeth. Before they even started asking about preferences, you had already decided on someone.

Huang Qiuxiang's family and the Jiang family are neighbors, and they used to have a good relationship with Bai Lanxiang. In the village, everyone laughed at the Jiang family, saying that even though they were rich and had a big house, they still had a mentally retarded son.

She always comforted Bai Lanxiang, saying that the child was just sick and would get better in the future. She didn't expect that she would be well now. She would also come to visit later and chat with her old sisters.

……

The carriage drove slowly towards Zhenshan. Jiang Shian and Zhang Ping talked while looking around and taking notes of the route.

The village was quite remote, with nothing but rolling hills. The road just outside the village was a bit bumpy, and he almost vomited from the shaking in the carriage. Fortunately, after passing that section, the road became relatively flat.

When Zhang Ping heard that Jiang Shian was going to sell the clothes he brought, he immediately turned around and disagreed, "If Shian is short of money, I still have two taels of silver here, you can buy it for your immediate needs later. I have agreed to work for a family before, and I can earn four taels of silver a month. I will bring it to you when I come to see you."

He looked at the clothes on Jiang Shian. The fabric was smooth and silky, not to mention that the auspicious cloud patterns on it were all embroidered with gold thread. But what would the young master wear after selling his clothes? He would definitely not be used to wearing these coarse cloth clothes. The three taels of silver he brought were enough to buy some temporary things.

Jiang Shian had his own considerations. The young master's clothes were either round-necked long gowns or long gowns with front openings. Just by touching them, one could tell that the price was definitely not something that could be bought with a few taels of silver. It was also not suitable to be worn in the countryside.

Moreover, most of the roof tiles need to be replaced. They have not been used for a few years, and you can see the holes in them due to wind and rain. Most of them are definitely cracked and cannot be used. They will still leak when it rains, so they need to be replaced completely.

As long as the clothes are wearable, it's fine. If he sells them and has some money, it will be easier for him to do whatever he wants.

Zhang Ping was far away in Qingping County, and he had an elderly grandfather at home, so how could he take care of both of them at the same time?

Zhang Ping listened to him finish speaking, frowned and hesitated for a while before nodding. Yes, now it is a problem to have enough food and drink, so the rest can only be wronged by the young master for the time being.

At this moment, he obviously regarded himself as Jiang Shian's half-brother, and his eyes were full of pity when he looked at Jiang Shian.

Half an hour later, the carriage stopped at the town gate.

The sun was high in the sky and there was no breeze, so both of them couldn't help sweating.

It is the busy farming season now, so there are not many people on the streets, but there are quite a few people sitting in the restaurants and eateries.

Jiang Shian glanced casually and noticed that the lobby of the restaurant opposite was full. Everyone at the table was dressed in black and sat motionless, their eyes fixed on a certain position as if waiting for someone to give orders. They were dressed a bit like the people he saw the night before.

Zhang Ping also stopped the carriage. Opposite the restaurant was a clothing store.

Jiang Shian withdrew his gaze, and the two of them got off the carriage and walked towards the clothing shop.

The shop assistant saw that the man was well-dressed and smiled as he invited them into the shop. "Are you going to buy cloth or have your clothes made? The materials in our shop are the best in town, and the styles are newly imported."

The two looked up at the clothes hanging above the shop. Most of them were long shirts and long pants, and occasionally there were round robes that were straight and not very slim-fitting. These styles would not be sold in the simplest shops in Qingping County.

Jiang Shian opened the bundle, and after Zhang Ping took it, he took out a set of clothes from it, "Hey, is the shopkeeper here? Can you please ask him if he will accept the clothes? They are all brand new and have never been worn. The materials and styles are the most popular in Beijing."

The clerk looked at the two suspiciously, and when he heard that they were not here to buy clothes, his smile faded a little. But when he heard about the popular styles in Beijing, he became curious again and looked carefully at the clothes that Jiang Shian unfolded.

This is a snow-white straight-collared robe with a wonderful drape. The waist is tied with a wide belt with moon-white auspicious cloud patterns, and the collar and cuffs are also embroidered with auspicious cloud patterns.

This style is not sold in their shop or in the whole town. Looking at the pattern, even the best embroiderer in their embroidery room doesn't have the skills to do it. If this style is only sold in their shop, they will worry about not making money.

"Please wait a moment. I'll go to the back hall to ask the shopkeeper to come." The waiter was very considerate and brought two stools for the two men to sit down and wait, while he quickly went to find the shopkeeper.

If this product sells well, the shopkeeper will definitely give him a monthly increase.
