Fang Yuan said, "Father, we can buy new ones after we sell the Pregnancy Fruit. Let's keep the things at home. We can stay here when we go hunting or gathering herbs in the mountains!"
Everything in Kaoshan Village is practical; if she buys a large house, these things would look out of place.
It's better to keep it!
Liu Yun nodded upon hearing this: "That's fine, from now on, Yuan'er can make the decisions."
Now that his daughter is sober and capable, and has her own opinions, he, as her father, won't object.
It took the oxcart more than three hours to reach the county town.
Because they left early, they didn't run into anyone from the village.
But because they were far away, quite a few people saw them around the county town.
The main thing to look at is the live deer they were carrying.
So, after Fang Yuan and his companions entered the city, they had just found an inn and hadn't even checked in when someone came looking for them.
Do you sell your sika deer? What's the price?
The person asking the question was a well-dressed female housekeeper.
Their family head is about to celebrate his 70th birthday, and they're worried about not having any fresh, good ingredients!
This live deer is perfect; it'll be just right to feed it to me for a few days after I take it home before feeding it to me.
Fang Yuan didn't expect that someone would come knocking on their door so soon after they found a place to stay.
But this is fine too, he said with a smile to the steward:
"Greetings, madam. This deer was brought back from the mountain by my husband and me. We did intend to sell it, but hunting a live deer is quite difficult. What do you think it's worth?"
Prices for selling game vary from place to place, with significant differences between county towns and prefectural cities.
However, sika deer are rarely encountered, and given their high medicinal value and the fact that they are alive, she naturally wouldn't easily set a price for such a valuable item.
The butler glanced at Fang Yuan a few times, then asked casually, "May I ask where you're from, young lady? You don't look like you're already married. Don't speak carelessly and ruin your good fortune."
Upon hearing this, Fang Yuan looked at the man and smiled.
“I am just a hunter from Kaoshan Village. I hunted this game with my husband. He is a skilled hunter, and I, as his wife, benefited from his skill.”
She's only fifteen years old in this body, so she naturally looks younger here.
However, the woman's words made her realize that this person had other intentions, so she was better not to give him any hope.
Then she pointed to Wang Dalang on the oxcart: "This is my other husband. He is sick, and we came to the city to see a doctor for him."
The butler sized up Qin Yi for a while and smiled, "I can tell that this husband must be a strong and powerful man."
After seeing her sickly husband, she found her wife quite interesting.
In this world, describing a man as strong and powerful is clearly not a positive term.
Qin Yi frowned but didn't speak, while Fang Yuan pretended to be smug: "The manager has a good eye! My husband and I are both born with great strength, we are a match made in heaven."
Her main principle is to always say the positive side of things, no matter what others say.
Fang Yuan's words made Qin Yi's lips curl up secretly, and the previous unpleasantness was instantly swept away.
The steward paused for a moment, then changed the subject: "Really? Your sika deer looks quite nice. Sika deer usually cost around a hundred taels of silver. Yours is alive, so I'll offer one hundred and fifty taels. What do you think, madam?"
After a moment of silence, Fang Yuan clasped his hands in a fist and said, "I really can't refuse the price offered by the manager. So, I'll sell this sika deer to you."
Sika deer are valuable animals, but they only come in this size, so this price is already considered quite good here.
Guan glanced at the two goats beside him, thought for a moment, and then said:
"Young lady, I'll take these two goats too. I'll give you fifty taels, making it two hundred taels in total. Could you please bring them to our residence?"
Fang Yuan nodded: "Of course, may I ask who your household is?"
"I am Luo Huan, the steward of the Luo family. My master returned to his hometown to retire last year, and the Luo family mansion in the south of the city is my master's home!"
Seeing that Fang Yuan agreed to go with her, she introduced herself.
"From the Luo family?" Fang Yuan nodded immediately. "Of course, please wait a moment, Steward Luo!"
The eldest daughter of the old lady in the Luo family is a current vice minister.
I never expected that this old lady would come back here to retire.
However, she hoped to have more big clients like this, so that she could make more money from her future prey.
Thinking about this, she suddenly realized that the Golden Pregnancy Fruit might be able to find a suitable seller.
"My lady, shall I come with you?"
As Qin Yi watched Fang Yuan lead the three prey over, a sense of crisis inexplicably arose in his heart, and he wanted to go with them.
"No need. You used to go to the county town often. You're more suitable to find a small courtyard than I am," Fang Yuan comforted her.
She secretly handed him a handful of silver coins: "This is my father's secret stash of money, it's all yours."
Seeing Fang Yuan considerately give him a handful of silver, Qin Yi accepted it in a good mood:
"Um!"
In fact, he should be content as long as his wife doesn't abandon him.
After all, there aren't many people who look like him, but Fang Yuan treated him very well, which gave him more ideas.
Fang Yuan followed Luo Huan to the Luo residence and entered through the side gate. He delivered the three game animals to the stables in the backyard and waited to collect his money and leave.
Unexpectedly, a young and handsome man suddenly appeared and asked for the horse.
After a moment of eye contact, the man turned away shyly, and Fang Yuan realized that it was inappropriate for him to be there.
She quickly clasped her hands in a salute and said, "I'm sorry, young master. I was just delivering game to your residence and had no intention of offending you."
Having only been in this world for a short time, she often forgets about its conditions.
It's inappropriate for her to be in someone else's private quarters in her current capacity.
"It's alright, please go ahead, my lady!"
Upon hearing the charming young master speak, Fang Yuan quickly left.
After leaving the stables, she found the steward resting in the pavilion not far from the stables. She frowned and walked over without any politeness.
"Steward Luo, my wife has something to attend to at home, what do you think...?"
Luo Huan was also surprised that Fang Yuan had found this place. She then smiled and said, "Look at me, I've already prepared the silver notes. Thank you very much, Madam Fang, this time."
She didn't expect this person to actually find their way here. She wondered if her young master had seen him yet.
Seeing that the man had given him a silver note, Fang Yuan frowned but still accepted it.
"No need to be polite. If you need more game, you can come to Kaoshan Village to find me."
Although there would be some handling fees for exchanging the silver notes, she had already sold the deer and goat for a high price, so losing a little bit didn't matter.
"My patriarch's birthday is in about half a month. If Madam Fang can hunt anything else, please send it over," Luo Huan replied.
"Alright, then I'll take my leave." Fang Yuan nodded and followed the people Luo Huan had sent out of the mansion.
On the way, she unintentionally saw another person tending to the soil and planting flowers in the back garden. After seeing her, she glanced at her out of the corner of her eye, then smiled and shook her head.
Why can't the young master of this manor stay in his boudoir now that she's here?
Having lived through so many lifetimes, she could see through these methods at a glance.
However, she is currently only a hunter, so she shouldn't bother with these internal squabbles. She's not in the mood to play games with them.
All she wants now is to raise money to buy a new location, and then find a way to open a chain of stores in Kyoto, making a dazzling debut and blinding her princess mother to the utter dismay of her.
Fang Yuan was unaware that not long after leaving the manor, the people around the two young masters began to inquire about her identity.
Upon learning that she was a hunter and already had two husbands, the two could only give up on the idea.
