Kuai Chuan: I don’t get along with my family’s golden finger.

When the house was built before, although he gave some things to the family, they were all money collected by the puppets from the family.

Some calligraphy, paintings, antique ornaments and the like were put away by him when it was inconvenient to take them out.

Just because he knew that his family was not short of money, he did not focus on his family.

Unexpectedly, in a remote place like Nanling, especially in such a small county, having money may not necessarily buy good things.

Also, the clothes he wore were prepared by the puppet master.

They were sent to the space regularly, so he never lacked clothes, so he didn't expect that his family would be in need.

In the final analysis, it was because he didn't pay enough attention to his family that he caused this result.

Thinking of this, Jiang Che rubbed his eyebrows.

After all, he was here for a mission, and even if he was preparing for future trials, he had to complete the mission first.

In the future, even if I want to practice, I will allocate some energy regularly to pay attention to my family's situation.

"Second brother, do you still have some fabric?" Lin Danyue said in surprise when she heard this.

"Well, when I left, I emptied the warehouse at home and the private treasury of several of us."

"It's hard to take out bigger things, so I just gave the banknotes and some gold and silver to my parents. I didn't consider that this place is too poor, and even if you have money, you can't buy good things." Jiang Che nodded.

"It's important that you practice. Besides, with our current status, many things are not suitable for use, otherwise it will easily cause unnecessary trouble." Lin Jiangyuan comforted.

"I understand." Jiang Che nodded.

While a few people were talking, they had already arrived at the county seat.

Uncle Chang found a place outside the city where someone would take care of the carriage, and paid the money to park the carriage here.

He accompanied Jiang Che and the others into the city.

Although there are few people on the mountain due to traffic congestion in Nanling, and the folk customs in the penal colony are somewhat tough.

But the humidity here is high, and winter is much warmer than in Beijing.

So even though the Chinese New Year is approaching, the weather is not too cold.

Jiang Che and the others were wearing thin coats and a hooded fox fur cloak, covering their bodies tightly, making them look good-looking and warm.

Now that they have settled down here, the effects of the disguise pill they took before have worn off.

Lin Ji and the others didn't mention it again, and Jiang Che didn't continue to feed his family.

Their family's looks were not bad to begin with, but now they are even top-notch.

Especially the three brothers and sisters, let alone Jiang Che, even if their appearance at twelve o'clock has been reduced a lot, they are still far beyond ordinary people.

Lin Jiangyuan was the eldest son of the family. He had been trained by Lin Ji since he was a child. He was also a well-known talent in the capital, and his demeanor was the envy of others.

Lin Danyue, the youngest, has not grown yet, but because of her higher plasticity, the effect of menstrual cleansing and marrow removal is better than others.

At a young age, he can already glimpse his future splendor.

The three of them walking on the street like this were naturally very eye-catching.

Many people's eyes were unconsciously focused on them, some were just admiring and others' eyes were not so clean.

It's just that they all have martial arts skills, and even the youngest Lin Danyue is not weak because Jiang Che has given him a small start.

They can naturally detect these glances.

But with Uncle Chang here, they didn't need to do anything. Uncle Chang had already passed by with a single glance.

Having fought on the battlefield when he was young, Uncle Chang's murderous intent was not fake.

Now that they have internal strength, the evil aura is even stronger, and most people can't bear that glance.

Even those who were not weak in strength could not help but look away, feeling timid after looking at him.

Here in Nanling, the big gathering held a year ago was more lively than many temple fairs.

Because the Chinese New Year is approaching, almost all the shops on the streets have hung up red lanterns, and some have even pasted couplets and the characters "福" in advance.

The whole street looked very festive.

"Brother, there is a stall selling lanterns over there. Let's buy some and go back!" After walking on the street for a while, Lin Danyue suddenly pointed to a stall not far away and said.

Jiang Che looked in the direction of her finger and saw that it was a large lantern stall.

Not only were there many lanterns placed on the two tables in front of the stall owner, but a tall shelf was erected behind him with many exquisite lanterns hanging on it.

These lanterns are all made of wooden frames, some are in the shape of various animals or flowers, and some are in the style of palace lanterns, with paintings or writing on them, which look very elegant.

Even if such an exquisite lantern is placed in the capital, it is considered good. Jiang Che really didn't expect to see it in Nanling.

Because the lanterns are beautiful, the stall's business is very good.

At this time, there were many people buying lanterns there, and they left with one or two in their hands.

Most of them were families with children, but there were also some young men and women.

This kind of lantern is not cheap, so some people from well-off families will buy one for their children as the Chinese New Year is approaching.

Then there are the young ladies in the city who like these exquisite lanterns and buy a few to take back.

They were originally going shopping. Lin Danyue liked it. As brothers, neither Lin Jiangyuan nor Jiang Che would object, so they came to the stall with her.

The stall owner is a middle-aged man in his 30s. Although he looks a bit weathered, he has the elegance of a scholar in his heart.

Obviously, this person was also a scholar before.

Unlike Lin Danyue who was choosing beautiful lanterns, Jiang Che and Lin Jiangyuan's eyes were focused on the calligraphy and paintings on the lanterns.

"Stall owner, the calligraphy and painting on this lamp are..."

After watching for a while, Lin Jiangyuan took the initiative to ask.

In fact, the calligraphy and painting on this lantern are truly outstanding. Even though Lin Jiangyuan, as a talented scholar, considers himself quite accomplished in calligraphy and painting, compared with the calligraphy and painting on these lanterns, they are far inferior.

The calligraphy and painting on this lantern, even if it cannot be said to be everyone's, is not much different.

"I painted it myself." The stall owner nodded slightly to Lin Jiangyuan.

"Mr.'s calligraphy and painting are superb, and I am admired by the younger generation." Lin Jiangyuan heard this and immediately bowed and saluted.

This is the etiquette between literati and juniors towards their seniors.

Although he didn't know the identity of the stall owner, his accomplishments in calligraphy and painting alone were enough to make Lin Jiangyuan admire him.

"So what, in a place like this, no matter how good calligraphy and painting are, it's useless. I've been studying for more than ten years to no avail, but now I make a living by relying on the lantern-making craft I learned from my old servant at home."

Seeing this, the scholar shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Hearing this, Jiang Che and Lin Jiangyuan looked at each other. It was obvious that the other person was most likely to be exiled like them.

It's just that the other party may not be as lucky as them. They are the kind who are still sinners after being exiled and cannot leave the place of exile.
