Two questions came at him in quick succession, showing that the young master was genuinely puzzled.
Jiang Chengyuan, dressed in a crescent-colored robe, tapped his cousin's head with a long-handled fan, "Why ask so many questions?"
“We are brothers with the same grandmother, and even our order of birth follows yours.” Young Master Jiang glared. “Today you called me over in a panic again, and you’re not going to tell me the truth. Be careful, or I’ll tell Grandmother.”
How old are you? You still complain all the time, just like when you were a child.
Jiang Chengyuan was both amused and exasperated, and could only say briefly, "This is a younger sister I met in Anshui County. I've wanted to help her a few times, but I've missed the chance. Since I've met her today, of course I have to lend a hand."
"Then why don't you go yourself?" Young Master Jiang seized on the key point. "You are the eldest son of the Jiang family's direct line, while I am from a collateral branch. In terms of influence, I am far inferior to you."
Jiang Chengyuan could not answer this question.
How should I put it? It's because he discovered that every time he tried to stroke the little ginger, it would make his younger sister Chenghuan uneasy, and even his mother had hit him.
To avoid trouble and to maintain the last shred of peace in Jiang Chenghuan's heart, he had no choice but to ask his cousin Jiang Chengfeng for help.
"Alright, alright, your brother will treat you to drinks." Jiang Chengyuan changed the subject. "We're not going to Youranju today, we'll go somewhere else."
Jiang Chengfeng turned around grumbling and shouted that he wanted to beat up his cousin.
That day.
Jiuzhenfang received three custom pastry orders, one of which was from the Jiang family, who seemed to be acting as shills.
It may seem like a pitifully small amount, but it's a bright start and an affirmation of Jiang Sheng's hard work during this period.
After the eldest brother was busy with the imperial examination, the second brother was traveling to other places, and the third brother was guarding the frontier, the youngest girl finally made some achievements, which made her brothers take notice.
Zhang Xianglian was full of praise, saying, "Our little Jiang Sheng is getting better and better. She does things in a very organized way, and her thinking is more thorough and meticulous."
“Yes, yes,” Wen Zhiyun chimed in, “My little sister is getting more and more amazing, just as amazing as her second brother.”
"Indeed worthy of praise." Even Chang Yan nodded. "They knew to ask for favors."
Jiang Sheng didn't want to get arrogant, but her aunt and brothers kept talking, almost making her spin around in circles.
Fortunately, the silver bracelet on her wrist fell off, and its heavy weight pulled her back to the present world, reminding her to be humble. "There are only three guests. It's still a long way off if we want Jiuzhenfang to become the first choice for entertaining guests for ladies of noble families. You can praise me then!"
Zhang Xianglian and Wen Zhiyun both laughed.
Only Chang Yan, with his sharp eyes, noticed the bright silver glint on her wrist and was slightly taken aback.
Before he could ask, Jiang Sheng suddenly slapped his forehead, "I've been so busy these past few days that I completely forgot something important."
There's no such thing as receiving gifts without giving them back. Although she didn't know where Sister Yao lived, she still had to prepare a return gift so she could give it to her immediately if they met.
What should I buy?
Yao Siqing gave her a silver bracelet. Should she give him a silver hairpin or a jade bracelet in return?
If only my second brother were here.
Jiang Sheng sighed, not forgetting to turn around and tell them, "Aunt, Fourth Brother and Fifth Brother, I have to go out for a while, but I'll be back before dinner."
Jiang San consciously followed and caught up with the carriage.
Zhang Xianglian wanted to ask a few more questions, but Changyan stopped her.
Once the carriage had driven far away, he approached Wen Zhiyun, frowning, and asked, "Do you know who my sister has met these past few days?"
Dr. Wen shook his head blankly.
He sits in the clinic every day seeing patients, mostly doing free consultations. He spends all his spare time thinking about how to make money and doesn't pay attention to anything else.
But her younger brother's tone was too serious, so Wen Zhiyun asked hesitantly, "Fifth brother, is there something wrong with your sister?"
Chang Yan didn't answer, but instead said to himself, "Have we been neglecting Jiang Sheng too much?"
Wen Zhiyun was surprised and puzzled.
“From Xieyang County to Fengjing, from a few coins to thousands of taels of savings, she always wore the cheapest clothes and used the red string her aunt gave her. She never complained and never wore any jewelry.” Changyan said quietly, “We only cared about her food and clothing, only cared about teaching her to read and grow up, and watched her learn to do business little by little, but we forgot that girls of this age love to be beautiful.”
Beautiful clothes, exquisite embroidered shoes, and fine jewelry.
If Jiang Sheng didn't mention it, they would have ignored it.
Although it was also the first time the older brothers were becoming older brothers, they had received love from their parents, various educations, and even seen the vast world. They should have been more thoughtful than their younger sister who had grown up in a wild environment.
“If we don’t give her these beautiful things, who will?” Changyan added. “Even if someone else gives them to her, will she really accept them?”
Wen Zhiyun understood the meaning behind the words, and her expression turned to horror. "Xiao Wu, are you saying that someone bypassed us and gave my sister jewelry?"
Chang Yan nodded heavily.
I wonder which random man he is, whether he has ulterior motives, or whether he will harm my sister.
Jiang Sheng loves jewelry and all things beautiful. Her brothers are willing to give her gifts so that she won't envy others in the slightest, and they won't give outsiders the chance to deceive her.
“What about Jiang Sheng just now…” Wen Zhiyun couldn’t sit still any longer. He took out silver needles from his medicine box. “Xiao Wu, we have to follow him and see. We must follow him and see.”
The two brothers hit it off immediately, called Jiang Si to drive the carriage, and repeatedly instructed him to follow Jiang San's carriage at a distance that was neither too close nor too far.
Jiang Si, "..."
The young men and women seem to be playing something very new.
Ahead.
Jiang Sheng directed Jiang San to rush to the largest silver shop in Fengjing.
There are dozens of silversmiths here, working day and night to make all sorts of novel silver ornaments for the people of Fengjing to choose from.
