Chapter 191: The most mysterious person
There is another advantage to Su Wan saying this. With such a large amount of money, people will question her identity and think that she is not just an unknown small vendor. They will think that she has a hidden identity.
Even if an ordinary merchant family was wealthy, they would not give such an expensive gift to the Countess for a small birthday.
She said it was a gift from a friend, which just shows that her friend is not an ordinary person.
How could a friend give you a screen worth ten thousand taels? What kind of background does that require?
Firstly, she cleared herself up, which showed that she was really just an ordinary businessman, but it also revealed to these people that she knew powerful backers. If these people wanted to cause trouble for her, they would have to consider whether they could afford to offend her friend.
Su Wan suddenly became the most mysterious person in the hall. Everyone was curious about who her friend was and why he was so generous.
Careful people can also find that the hairpin on her head is made of purple jade, and the mutton-fat jade bracelet on her hand is of absolutely crystal clear, without a trace of impurities.
She seems very low-key, but in fact, she shows her extraordinary worth everywhere, which makes it even more mysterious.
This is also Su Wan's little trick. This kind of fame and fortune world likes to judge people by their appearance.
She is a new member, young, with little experience and no family background, and is most likely to be looked down upon or even ignored.
She just didn't want to be ignored or looked down upon. She wanted everyone in Xiangzhou to remember her and respect her.
Her family might not be wealthy now, but it won't be long before she, Su Wan, will become a wealthy businessman known to everyone in Xiangzhou City.
Entering this circle is equivalent to entering the upper class. When her Jade Face Cream is launched in the future, it will be their money that she will make money from.
A bottle of Jade Face Cream is worth a hundred taels of silver. It was secretly spread that the formula was developed by Master Sun Beidou, but she herself did not make any response. The main purpose was to achieve a marketing effect.
"Miss Su Liu, you are so thoughtful. Please take a seat."
The rare smile on Mrs. Bo's face became even wider. It was obvious that Su Wan's screen was the best one today and her favorite one.
With such a valuable gift, wouldn't the Lady Bo owe her a favor?
After Su Wan sat down, everyone drank tea and chatted in the hall. Su Wan found it quite interesting to hear some business families who had a grudge against each other being sarcastic.
Madam Xie was also curious about what kind of friend Su Wan had who was so generous.
"Sixth Miss, is your friend also a businessman? He's a bit too generous."
She felt that given her relationship with Su Wan, it shouldn't be out of line to ask such a question.
Moreover, after finding out the truth, I had a sense of propriety in my heart. I was afraid that it was a figure in officialdom, whom I could not afford to offend.
Just looking at the wives of the officials in Xiangzhou, they don’t seem to be familiar with Su Wan, so it shouldn’t be them. It can’t be officials from other places.
If he were a high-ranking official from another state, why would he come to Xiangzhou to do business?
"He is a wealthy businessman in Zhongzhou, and his family has some assets." Su Wan replied.
"Zhongzhou is the most prosperous province, not much worse than Kyoto. It's said that Taizu almost chose Zhongzhou as the imperial capital. His business in Zhongzhou must be quite large, right?"
It's not surprising for Madam Xie to hear that it was from Zhongzhou. Any wealthy businessman in that place who is a little famous could be the richest man in Xiangzhou.
Su Wan just smiled. Jiang Yu was quite rich. He was the heir of Fengyue Villa. The famous shipping waterway was the foundation of Fengyue Villa. As the overlord of the water, connecting the north and the south, what rare objects had he not seen?
The two seem to have nothing to do with each other and no one would connect them together.
Fengyue Villa is full of masters, including a famous cold weapon expert. The weapons he forged are all high-value collectibles and are worth a fortune. Sun Beidou comes from Fengyue Villa.
They are well-informed. The restaurant under their name is similar to Yueman Xilou, and has branches in every state capital. Only insiders know about it because the names are all different. No matter big or small, no matter what happens, Fengyue Villa can hide it from its eyes.
The reason why Jiang Yu was killed before was because he entered Qinghe alone with no one to protect him. The assassination was planned for a long time, and the mastermind behind it was a mortal enemy of Fengyue Villa who coveted the position of Jiang Yu's young master.
He interfered so much that he deceived the spies in Xiangzhou and almost killed Jiang Yu.
Controlling Fengyue Villa is equivalent to controlling the national intelligence network and the shipping routes built with gold.
The shipping goes directly to the South China Sea, and all the rare treasures of the South China Sea are hidden in Fengyue Villa.
The original novel introduces Jiang Yu’s maternal grandfather, who is also the master of Fengyue Villa.
His surname is also Jiang. Isn't that a coincidence? Jiang Yu's biological father's surname is also Jiang. The leader of the Jiang family has an only daughter, who is Jiang Yu's mother.
He also has an adopted son, whose surname seems to be Yu. After the first disciple Jiang Yunhe retired, Jiang Yu was young, and the master had only this adopted son available. He was also very powerful in Fengyue Villa, and some departments were controlled by him. He was not convinced by Jiang Yu as the young master, and was very ambitious. Over the years, he had made many moves, both openly and secretly, and wanted Jiang Yu to die. He finally got the chance and thought he had no worries, but Jiang Yu was gone in one piece.
But on the surface, he appears to be a kind uncle, doing things flawlessly and there is no evidence to hold against him.
Jiang Yu knew that he was the one behind this, but he had no evidence and could only confront him.
It is hard to imagine that Jiang Yu had suffered several assassination attempts of varying sizes before he even reached the age of twenty. He had experienced so much that in the original novel, he was much more mature than his peers and his methods were much more ruthless.
Outside, he can only be seen as an unkind, gloomy and indifferent person. Once he shows a little kindness, there will be many people who want to put him into an irretrievable situation.
Not many people love him. Some people really love him, but some people use the banner of love for him and wish he would die.
He grew up without a mother and was surrounded by intrigues and deceptions. He had no choice but to develop a heart of stone.
In addition, his other identity is the prince of Duke Jiang's Mansion and the legitimate son of Duke Jiang.
In the eyes of the people in Kyoto, he was sent to Fengyue Villa to learn skills since he was a child. He has a stepmother and stepbrothers and stepsisters at home.
His stepmother and stepbrother had been coveting his position as the crown prince for a long time, and they couldn't wait to get rid of him.
After his death, the Duke's Mansion will only have that one illegitimate son, and the future title will fall into their hands.
Perhaps, only in front of Su Wan can he be himself quietly, laugh when he wants to laugh, and say whatever he wants to say.
When Su Wan thought of this, she couldn't help but feel sorry for Jiang Yu, who had to live with a mask on for a long time.
At this time, the Countess also asked everyone to move to the back garden to appreciate the flowers.
Su Wan stood up and followed the female relatives to the back garden of the Earl of Ningyuan's Mansion.
