Third Grandpa heard the words and sensed something was amiss, so he hurriedly led a few village men out of the shop, and when they looked towards the Gate Tower, they saw from afar a group of people carrying something covered in red silk, followed by two horse-drawn carriages—unbeknownst to whom was sitting inside.
Gu Dashan, upon seeing a man riding alongside a carriage, identified him as Jiang Jiao, and quickly said: "It's the Jiang family's brothers coming."
Gu Dafu and the others saw it too and nodded in agreement.
Scholar Shang smiled and shook his head: "Not just that."
In the midst of speaking, the group had passed the Gate Tower and arrived in front of the shop.
Third Grandpa and the village men quickly straightened their clothes and went to meet them: "Ah Jiao, you're here, welcome, welcome."
Jiang Jiao, sitting on the horse, saw them and deliberately said out loud: "Elder Gu, Brother Gu, the Lord County Magistrate has sent a signboard to your shop!"
