The government was sending out wives, and I ended up with a princess from the previous dynasty!

Jia An was the benefactor mentioned by the old immortal of Ziyue Temple.

He was also well-read.

The words he says carry a different weight!

Hong Min, who had initially firmly believed that Jia Daoshi would return, began to waver at this point!

Seeing this, Jia An felt much better!

A rotten person is a rotten person; they can never be respectable!

He is the benefactor of Jiajia Village, and he is the future of Jiajia Village!

Now that Jia Daoshi has run away, he wants to see who will dare to ignore him in the future!

Noble man!

only one!

He is the dragon of Jiajia Village!

The villagers remained silent at the scene.

Jia Quan puffed on his old pipe, his expression shifting between anger and uncertainty.

Jia Hu was displeased: "Jia An! You're talking nonsense! My brother Daoshi is no scoundrel! He's incredibly capable! He'll definitely do what he says he'll do!"

"Jia Hu, you big idiot, what do you know!" Jia Yan had just been beaten badly by Jia Hu, but now that he was being protected by Jia An and his group, he felt a bit emboldened.

Jia An frowned as well: "Uncle Quan, Jia Hu is the kind of person who is easily deceived. You should take him back and discipline him properly."

As he spoke, Jia An gave Jia Hu a disdainful look.

There's only one idiot in Jiajia Village, and he's Jia Daoshi's cousin. This whole family is rotten and stupid; they're a disgrace to Jiajia Village!

"Jia An, it's none of your business how I do things!" Jia Quan said rudely, his face grim.

Others may fear Jia An, but he doesn't!

"Michishi isn't like you say. I believe he will definitely come back!"

"Fine!" Jia An had been rebuffed by Jia Quan, and although he was furious inside, he still wore a smile on his face. "Uncle Quan, I'm saying this for your own good. Everyone knows what kind of person Jia Daoshi was before—he's all smooth talk. I'm just afraid that you'll all be fooled by him!"

Tielan shook her head: "No, Daoshi isn't that kind of person!"

"Aunt Lan, tell me, we've been waiting here all day, where is Jia Daoshi? The village head has been searching all over Yilan County for ages, but we haven't seen him! Why is that? Where did he go?"

Telan: "..."

She was just a woman, not very good at talking, so how could she possibly win an argument with Jia An?

"Dingle bell! Dingle bell!"

"Clatter! Clatter!"

Just then, the sound of bells drifted from the twilight, their clear tones sounding distant and serene.

Soon, three oxcarts and one horse-drawn carriage came into view of the villagers.

Why would there be oxcarts and horse-drawn carriages in this place and at this time?

Could it be that another traveling caravan is coming at this time?

But this doesn't look right. Caravans usually use horses, and sometimes camels. I've never seen them use oxen!

Moreover, the oxcart and horse-drawn carriage were heading in this direction.

Finally, they stopped between Jia An's house and Jia Daoshi's house.

"What's on top looks like bricks and tiles..."

"So many bricks and tiles, that must have cost a lot of money, right? I haven't heard of any family building a house recently."

"I heard from Jia An that his family wants to build a pavilion in the yard."

"A pavilion? Only wealthy families in Yilan County could afford to build one, right?"

"By the way, I heard that a wealthy family in Yilan County has taken a liking to Jia An and wants to marry their daughter to him!"

"Now that you mention it, I remember that the headmaster of Yilan Academy recently praised Jia An, saying that his writing was excellent and that he even wrote a poem about the heavy snow in Yilan, saying that he would definitely pass the provincial examination next year!"

"A scholar who has passed the imperial examination! Which young lady wouldn't want to marry one?"

"..."
