The dead general was kidnapped by his husband and taken to farm.

The whole carriage was filled with chests, tables, stools, benches, and kitchen cabinets.

Jiang Shian stood by and gave instructions on where to put each item, and the two assistants who followed him moved the items back into the room.

After moving all the things, he poured a bowl of water for the two of them, then went back to the house to get the change and settled the matter with the remaining one or two taels of silver.

The two waiters drank the water, took the silver, and left with a smile.

This guy is really straightforward. In the past, when they delivered things to his house to collect the final payment, they had to talk a lot.

Some people, when they see the goods have been delivered to their homes, will bargain with them and insist on getting a few cents cheaper, and they will even talk their mouths off.

The price is set by the shopkeeper, and they can't just say less. If it's less, you have to pay for it yourself, which would be a waste of time.

-

morning.

Jiang Shian once again borrowed the village chief's carriage to go to Taohua Village. This time he went to see if the goods were ready, and by the way, he would take them back to his village to deliver them to Doctor Wang.

The delivery time is tomorrow, and Doctor Wang needs to put tooth powder into the bamboo box. So Yang the carpenter and his team will finish the bamboo box first.

After rushing as fast as they could, when the bearded merchant came up to pick up the goods the next day, Jiang Shian opened the box and let him check it. After making sure that there was no problem, the bearded merchant loaded the goods onto the carriage and paid him the money.

It just so happened that just as they left, people from Liu the Merchant's side arrived.

It turned out to be just as he had expected. In just three days, they were almost all sold out and he had to order another batch.

This time, an order was placed directly for eight thousand pieces of goods, of which two hundred were placed. Merchant Liu also made a request that all the wooden toothbrushes be engraved with some patterns.

"This is the pattern our master requested. Your carpenter can just carve it according to the pattern." The man holding the half piece of broken jade took out a piece of paper from his arms.

Jiang Shian took it and took a look. There were mostly patterns of lotus, plum blossoms and peonies. They were quite realistic, but also looked complicated. It seemed that a lot of effort must have been put into it.

The other party continued, "Our master said that he would give you 200 coins for each set of these two general merchandise."

Jiang Shian opened his mouth and said, "Two hundred wen, which is not much compared to one tael of silver, but more than two hundred sets of two hundred wen, that's three taels of silver."

He smiled with curved eyebrows and said to the two of them, "Thank you for your hard work."

The two men already had wives and children at home, but upon seeing this, they couldn't help blushing and quickly looked away.

They have traveled all over the country and have seen many beauties, but it is rare to find one as handsome as the young man in front of them, especially his agility.

"In half a month, our caravan will pass by, and they will come with the token to pick up the goods. The young master said that the two hundred pieces that need carving are not urgent, and can be given more time."

"Okay. Don't worry, I will also make good use of my time." Jiang Shian nodded in response.

All added up was only sixteen taels of silver. The man took out a ten-tael ingot from his purse and handed it to him, followed by a small five-tael ingot and a piece of silver.

Not only that, the two men asked him to wait for a while, and then returned to the carriage and took down two particularly large cloth bags from it.

Jiang Shian suppressed his curiosity and didn't ask questions immediately. He looked at the big bag, but seeing that the two people were carrying it lightly, he thought that there probably wouldn't be anything particularly heavy in it.

I opened the bag a little, and sure enough, there were quite a few white and black hairs, all of which looked like they had been processed, and there was no peculiar smell.

"We collected this at the horse market when we were traveling west. The young master said that you must need it when we sent it to you, and... and..." He paused, and couldn't say the slightly frivolous words that followed.

He knew that his young master was obviously just trying to amuse himself and had no other intentions, but when he saw the clear eyes of the young man in front of him, he was a little speechless.

"What else?" Jiang Shian saw the two people lift it down easily, and he also stretched out his hand to try, but found that he couldn't pull it. Seeing that the other party stuttered, he asked.

The man shook his head and glanced into the shop. Anyway, the young master's original words were that if he saw the man from last time there, he would deliberately tell the young man.

The man is not here now, so there is no need to say it.

-

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, three days have passed.

Jiang Shian looked after the shop in the town during the day and drove the carriage back to the village at dinner time in the evening.

Fortunately, the village chief's family didn't have an ox cart, otherwise they wouldn't have had time to lend it to him during the busy farming season in spring.

Six days have passed now, and Ji Yinghuai said at the time that it would take at most five days to come back.

But I didn't see anyone for a long time. I don't know if it was because of something that delayed him, or...

The sky was a bit gloomy in the morning, and now it started to drizzle.

There was no umbrella in the carriage, so Jiang Shian could only drive the carriage faster, hoping to get home before the heavy rain fell.

Unfortunately, things did not go as he wished. Just as he was thinking, a bolt of lightning struck from the sky, followed by raindrops as big as beans falling down.

When he returned to the village, he was soaked. It was still raining, so he simply drove the carriage directly to the village chief's house.

The village head's wife was sitting in the house sewing shoe soles. Seeing him standing at the door, all wet, she quickly asked her son to lead the carriage and said, "Why are you all wet? Come back to the house quickly to avoid the rain. Don't catch a cold."

The village chief's son came over and helped pull the carriage in.

The rain was heavy, and Jiang Shian was standing under the thatched eaves at the gate. He could only raise his voice and say, "No, auntie, I have to thank you for your carriage today. I will come to thank you tomorrow."

Looking at the seemingly endless rain, Jiang Shian covered his head with his sleeves and planned to run back home.

But before he could make a move, the village head's wife took the umbrella from her daughter-in-law and walked towards him with it. When she got closer, she handed him the umbrella and said, "You are soaking wet. You should go back and change clothes. I won't keep you here. You hold the umbrella. You are a boy. Your body is not as good as other men. You should be more careful."

Jiang Shian nodded, thanked him with a smile, took the umbrella, opened it, and then walked into the rain.

In fact, the umbrella didn't matter to him, his clothes were all wet and his hair was dripping with water. However, the kindness of the village chief's family made him feel warm in his heart.

When he got home, he quickly changed into dry clothes and threw the clothes into the laundry basket.

He rubbed his nose and sneezed twice violently.

Jiang Shian thought to himself that this was not good. In the past, he would sneeze first to warn others when he caught a cold. There were only medicines for external injuries at home, so he could only go back to the kitchen to boil some hot water and drink more in the hope that it would dispel some of the cold.

He hadn't had dinner yet, so he casually cooked a pot of millet porridge over the charcoal fire on the stove.

As I was eating, I started to feel dizzy and exhausted.

Jiang Shian raised his hand and yawned, looking at the bowl of porridge with half a bowl left. However, he had no appetite at this time, so he had to clean it up.

Then I boiled some hot water, washed up and went back to my room.

It was still early, but because of the rain, the room was a little dark.

Jiang Shian lay down on the bed, using the same quilt as usual. This quilt was a newly made cotton quilt, light and warm. But now he felt a little cold when he covered himself with it.

He got up again, took out a quilt from the cupboard, and then got into bed again.

Sneeze after sneeze, tears welled up in his eyes.

Jiang Shian raised his hand and rubbed his nose, then sighed and felt a little sad. He really had a cold.

But at this moment he felt so exhausted that he didn't want to move, let alone get the medicine.

I'll stay in the quilt all night, maybe I'll sweat a lot, and I'll be fine tomorrow morning. He thought about this and fell into a deep sleep.

Jiang Shian was half asleep when he heard someone talking. He was still half conscious. He was thinking how could the voices come from when he was the only one at home. He thought he was dreaming and closed his eyes again.

But the other person not only spoke in his ear, but also reached out and touched his forehead.

Now Jiang Shian was sure that he was not mistaken, someone was touching his forehead, so he slowly opened his eyes.

The room was dark, with only an oil lamp burning on the bedside table.

The light was dim, but he could see at a glance the man sitting beside the bed, wiping his face with a handkerchief.

He was still a little dazed, blinking his eyes, as if he couldn't believe why the man was here.

Seeing that he was awake, Ji Yinghuai spoke up: "Now that you're awake, are you still feeling uncomfortable? Do you want some water?"

The handkerchief was soaked in hot water again, Ji Yinghuai picked it up again, wrung it out, and placed it on his forehead.
