However, there were also many non-Miao people wearing Miao clothing.
Why can you tell at a glance? Of course, it's because they're wearing Miao clothing.
The traditional Miao clothing worn by Miao people and non-Miao people is clearly marked by Sheng Tang, but the markings are so subtle that those who don't know better won't notice them.
Take She Ling for example; she's wearing the traditional clothing of a member of the Black Miao branch.
Based on their clothing and appearance, they are indeed Black Miao, but upon closer inspection—
The silk thread on her cuff should, in theory, be of uniform thickness.
However, one of the threads sold was slightly thicker than the others.
This method of identification was devised by the aunties from each branch of the family through collective wisdom.
This is to distinguish whether men and women dressed in Miao clothing who enter a Miao village are genuine Miao people, without speaking.
And it happened in more than one place.
I'm afraid even She Ling, this Yao girl, didn't realize this.
Upon seeing Ah Chen, she raised her arms and asked smugly, "How do I look? Don't I look a bit like a Black Miao girl in my Miao clothes?"
"It does have a bit of that smell." Ah Chen wouldn't say it's fake Miao clothing, would he?
"This is clearly a simple dress for a Black Miao girl, and you still say it has some flavor."
As they were talking, She Ling noticed that Mu Achen's Miao clothing was not right. It was not the standard attire for the future Miao King, nor was it the kind he usually wore.
He didn't even bring his Miao sword, and the plain silver ring around his neck and the silver chain on his wrist were gone.
He's clearly just an ordinary young man from the Hei Miao ethnic group.
"You've been robbed? Where's your silver ring?"
She Ling looked at A Chen once again.
It was Ah Chen's extremely simple attire that made She Ling feel a pang of sadness.
Because the Mu Achen in her dream grew up to look like this.
Instead of the imposing Miao king on his warhorse, with a black silk scarf wrapped around his head, a plain silver ring around his neck, and a pair of silver bracelets on his wrists.
Ah Chen said, "We were fighting bulls in a nearby village today, and we got all dirty, so my wife took us home."
"I knew it! Why are you dressed like this? Today is my ninth day here. You're really good at hiding your face. You're only showing yourself now."
She Ling immediately complained, saying, "The food, drinks, and accommodations at the guesthouse are ridiculously expensive."
"Here, take this as my apology."
Ah Chen took out the calcium milk that Ah You had given him from his cloth bag, tore one open, and gave it to She Ling.
She Ling actually took it and started drinking.
but--
During her visit to the Miao village, she met Mu Achen, who was still dressed simply. To She Ling, this was truly...
Steadfast!
After all, this was the image of Miao Lang that she had always longed for.
If Mu Achen rode past with the same domineering presence as those days, She Ling would think it was a dream.
At this moment, the vast Lusheng field below was filled with jubilation.
A thousand girls dressed in silver made their grand entrance, accompanied by their Miao relatives and friends, to participate in the flower-begging activity.
The Lusheng music has never stopped.
Tens of thousands of people gathered around to watch.
Each successful pairing is a beautiful blessing, accompanied by fireworks.
Ah Chen and She Ling chatted briefly.
A moment later, She Ling turned to A Chen and asked, "Did your injury leave any lasting effects?"
"No!"
"I thought so too, otherwise you'd be jumping around everywhere right now!"
I'll jump?
Ah Chen said, "Am I just an egg in your heart, She Lingzi? By the way, you've been back for so long, where's the factory?"
"I've already transferred my factory in Hangzhou because I'm being ostracized everywhere!"
As soon as she finished speaking, She Ling took out a bank card and handed it to A Chen, saying, "Here, this is your share."
"Keep it."
"You really don't want it?"
Ah Chen shook his head.
"Don't bother."
She Ling knew Ah Chen wouldn't want it!
Whether or not to accept it is Ah Chen's business; whether or not to give it to her is her business.
"By the way, did you transfer the factory in Hangzhou because you want to come back?" Achen asked.
She Ling sighed, gazing at the jubilant scene below, and said calmly, "I'm thinking of going to Shenzhen or Guangzhou to start a distribution agency for electronic products. Do you think it's a good business opportunity?"
"Electronic products have potential, but you need a sales channel. After all, these things are trendy today and new models are available tomorrow. They become obsolete too quickly. Once there is a backlog of goods and you can't manage your cash flow, you'll be in trouble."
"You're quite something, little Miao Lang, you even know this."
She Ling was genuinely surprised that A Chen even knew this. Before returning to Qiandong, she had visited Shenzhen and Guangzhou.
I've also learned quite a bit about electronic products.
It becomes outdated quickly, requires sufficient funds, and sales channels are paramount.
I never expected Ah Chen to know.
"Then give me some advice on how to make electronic products more stable."
"You really want to do this?"
"I was joking with you, but you won't even give me a bite to eat."
Forehead--
What's up with She Lingzi? Why was she rubbing her hands like that when we met this time?
Ah Chen said, "I don't know much about this either. I've mostly heard it from others. If you want to get involved, learn more about it and seize the opportunity."
"By the way, are you going solo or partnering with a friend?"
"When I was in Hangzhou, in addition to doing clothing business, I also sold electronic products, so I know a little about them."
She Ling said, "I do have some ideas, but the path is too difficult! The funds I have are barely enough for small-scale operations, but I can't achieve any significant scale."
"So, in a few days I'm going to Shenzhen and Guangzhou to look for investment and refine my plans."
How much investment do you need?
