Jiang Youran, reborn at the age of four, decided to marry her mother, Mrs. Su—who died in depression before she was 28 in her previous life—to her cousin, Duke Ping, who had always harbored feeling...
So he actually included the cost of Chen Ge'er in the price in advance, but he didn't expect that when those rich people placed orders, they didn't look at the price at all, and only emphasized that they should use good wood and have fine workmanship.
Madam Yun remarked with admiration, "They truly are lucky stars; anyone who shares in their good fortune will prosper."
Uncle Dashan wholeheartedly agreed, "Of course! If it weren't for them, my son and I would be dead long ago! Now we've been blessed with such good fortune; it's truly a blessing we've earned over three lifetimes!"
"This is also your good fortune."
As the two were talking, the people upstairs started coming down.
Stone and Erwa excitedly swung their sleeves, looked left and right, and ran towards Xiao Youran, shouting, "Chief! Chief! We have clothes now!"
Xiao Youran smiled as she watched the three little ones arrive dressed in identical clothes, feeling quite comforted. "Well, I have to spoil my little brothers!" she thought.
"You all come here for a moment," said Madam Yu and Madam Su, beckoning Xiao Youran and the others over.
Before Madam Yun could understand what was going on, she turned her head and saw four characters written on the back of Xiaoshan's clothes: "Yun Family Cloth Shop".
The characters were simply cut from a piece of dark blue cloth and then sewn together with a needle and thread.
She realized immediately after a moment's thought that this was to build a reputation for the cloth shop!
I'm afraid it was that mischievous Xiaoyouran who came up with this idea again!
Wen Yuanbai stood quietly by the door watching the group of kids making a ruckus, and his opinion of his junior sister improved even more.
He had overheard what Da Shan and the old lady were saying. He didn't believe that Jiang Youchen had produced those blueprints; it must have been Xiao Youran who gave them to him.
Could this business acumen be inherited from the Su family?
Fifteen minutes later, when a group of children walked out of the fabric shop hand in hand, they once again attracted the attention of passersby.
Eight little kids lined up from tallest to shortest.
Then, to make it easier to walk, Xiao Youran suggested that they line up in a single file, with the person at the back holding onto the wide sleeve of the person in front.
Wen Yuanbai found it hard to watch and silently stepped aside to let the small group of people go first.
But Xiaoyou Ran was standing at the very front of the line. She turned around and waved to him, "Senior Brother Dabai, come quick!"
He covered his face, wondering if it was too late to kick this little dumpling out of the sect now.
With Yu leading the way and Dashan bringing up the rear, the group was organized and safer.
Nan Zhuo pushed his master, his chest almost bursting from trying to suppress his laughter.
Not far ahead was Zuixianju. On the second floor, a monk and an old man were drinking together, each holding a wine pot, leaning against the window watching the commotion below.
After the procession slowly passed by, the old man suddenly asked, "Hey, why does that tomboy at the very front look so much like my little apprentice?"
The speaker, his eyes glazed with drunkenness, was none other than Doctor Gu.
The bald monk tilted his head back, took a swig of wine, and said, slightly drunk, "He looks a lot like my disciple..."
Wen Yuanbai, who happened to be slowly walking downstairs, heard this and his lips twitched: ...
He knew those two old geezers were only making a fuss about going into town for a couple of drinks.
Xiao Youran stood at the front of the group because she felt it was her duty to shoulder the responsibility of being the gang leader and guide her gang onto the right path.
For example, if she saw a candied hawthorn vendor in front of her, she would immediately raise her right hand and shout, "Stop!"
Of course, she stopped immediately when she said to stop.
Then, one by one, the people behind pressed themselves against the back of the person in front.
Fortunately, we weren't walking too fast, otherwise we would have ended up stacked on top of each other.
Mr. Yu was laughing so hard he could barely stand up straight.
It was a whole bunch of little milk balls, almost blowing the whole street upside down.
Passersby stopped to watch, laughing heartily.
Someone exclaimed in surprise, "Where did these little darlings come from? They're so cute!"
"Oh my, it really is so cute!"
Xiao Youran didn't care about any of that; our Gaibang gang just naturally attracts attention!
Of course, she didn't care whether the two guys at the back of the group were willing to join the gang. Once they put on her clothes, they were her people, her underlings!
"Look, all eight of them are wearing the exact same clothes. Could they be a family?"
"They're all so neat and tidy, like a family!"
"But there are a few of them who are dark-skinned and look a bit rustic, so they don't quite look like them!"
Stone Hill and Erwa: !!!
So, did they lower the overall attractiveness of this cute girl group?!
At this moment, Xiao Youran stopped in front.
Little Six, breaking free from Erwa behind him, asked in a daze, "Boss, why are we stopping? Are we going to do a mission?"
Just before Xiaoyou Ran left, she told them that we were going out in the same clothes today because we had a mission to complete.
"Correct answer!" Xiao Youran pointed to the candied hawthorn skewers in front of her. "First task: eat candied hawthorn skewers!"
What?
I thought doing tasks meant doing hard labor.
Unexpectedly, the first task issued by the guild leader was to eat candied hawthorns?
The kids behind them got excited.
Isn't this a wonderful thing that fell from the sky?
None of the three children from Sanyang Village have ever eaten candied hawthorn!
Although Yun Tiankuang and his group had eaten candied hawthorns in the capital before, they hadn't tasted them since coming to Sanyang Village, and they couldn't help but feel restless.
Without any hesitation, Ms. Yu stepped forward and took out her purse to pay.
But Xiaoyou Ran stopped her.
She took out a small pouch from her waist and took out a gold bean.
Yu was startled and quickly snatched her purse back. "No, no, no, my little darling, how about I let your fourth cousin's wife keep this purse for you and pay for your bills?"
Xiao Youran naturally had no objections and sweetly replied, "Okay, okay."
Ms. Yu quickly hid her purse.
Then, he said with difficulty, "This string of candied hawthorns is just too much. If you all eat too much, you won't be able to eat the better ones later!"
Xiao Youran thought it made a lot of sense, so she said, "Then let's each have one!"
The children behind were initially a little disappointed, but then they cheered up when they thought about the even better food to come.
Ms. Yu took out a few copper coins from her purse and handed them over. She bought two skewers of candied hawthorns, gave the vendor two extra coins, and asked him to give her some skewers so he could help her separate the candied hawthorns and skewer them one by one.
Before distributing the candied hawthorns, Xiao Youran had the eight people form a circle and then announced, "We're having a live candied hawthorn eating contest! One for each person, let's see who can eat the fastest and best! Don't drop any. The fastest person wins a point, and after today's task is completed, the person with the highest score will receive a reward from your guild leader!"
Yu chuckled as she handed out candied hawthorns to Xiao Youran.
A passerby chuckled and asked, "Wow, you're such a young age and you're already a gang leader? What gang are you the leader of?"
