The legends of this world do not mention purple foxes; the most common are white foxes. However, foxes are wary and difficult to hunt, and even if you do manage to catch one, you may not be able to keep its fur intact. Therefore, fox fur is not cheap.
But what this young master Jiang was showing Jiang Qinyu was extraordinary; not only were there rare purple fox pelts, but there were three of them. Most importantly, none of these three purple fox pelts contained a single blemish; they were a pure, unadulterated purple.
The sun is high in the sky today, and when it shines on the fox fur, you can see a purple halo.
Everyone likes beautiful things, and Jiang Qinyu was no exception. She raised her hand and gently touched the leather. "Young Master Jiang, how do you plan to sell this leather?"
Now that it's out there, it's naturally meant to be sold.
The white-robed young man shook his head and said, "I'll give these three purple fox pelts away, I won't sell them."
"Given away, not for sale?" Jiang Qinyu looked up at him in surprise.
The young man in white nodded and said, "Yes, it will only be given to those who are destined to receive it."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Qinyu immediately withdrew her hand and smiled at him politely but warily, "Then young master, you should continue searching for your destined one."
There's no such thing as a free lunch. If something seems too good to be true, either the other person is really stupid, or it's a trap waiting for her to fall into.
The young man in white chuckled and said, "I just find you, Madam, to be kind and would like to make friends with you."
Jiang Qinyu kept smiling but didn't reply.
Her gaze shifted outward and suddenly met a pair of eyes that held a deep resentment.
Jiang Qinyu blinked, thinking she was seeing things, and then she realized that the girl standing behind the white-robed young man looked somewhat familiar.
"Is Madam looking at my younger sister?" the white-robed young man asked considerately.
Jiang Qinyu took another look at the veiled girl and felt that her figure was somewhat familiar. However, there was no resentment in her eyes as before, and she looked very well-behaved.
"Has Miss Jiang ever been to Yongshan County before?" Jiang Qinyu still felt she hadn't misread it, so she asked.
Both the young man in white and the girl shook their heads. "My younger sister grew up in Tanzhou and has never traveled far from home."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Qinyu didn't press the matter further, but she remained cautious, asking, "Will Young Master Jiang be staying in Yongshan County recently?"
“Yes,” the young man in white nodded, then seemed quite annoyed, “but with the head manager at home, my sister and I are finding it rather boring to sell goods.”
Jiang Qinyu didn't respond to his words. Seeing that Village Chief Li and the others had squeezed out of the crowd, she curtsied to him and said goodbye, "Young Master, please continue with your business. We also have to go and take care of our affairs."
After saying that, Jiang Qinyu went to meet up with Village Chief Li and the others.
Meng Tianze didn't buy much, but Li Dachui and Village Chief Li bought quite a lot. However, they only picked small pieces of leather, which were cheap, so they could take them home, mend them, and give them to those in their families who needed them.
It was no problem for three grown men to take some leather, and Jiang Qinyu and her companions left quickly.
Just before leaving, Jiang Qinyu turned back to look at the girl again. She still felt that she had seen the girl before, but she couldn't remember where she had seen her for the time being.
Only after they had walked far away did the smile on the white-robed young man's face vanish instantly, and he strode towards the inn where he had settled down.
Upon returning to the room, the white-robed young master, Jiang Chengyou, slammed his hand on the table.
Yu Hanyan trembled with fright and knelt down abruptly, crying out, "Your Highness, spare my life!"
Jiang Chengyou looked at Yu Hanyan, who was wearing a veil, and said, "You said she likes to take advantage of small things and can't resist buying good things?"
Yu Hanyan stammered, "She...she's just a peasant woman, that's...that's for sure!"
"A peasant woman?" Jiang Chengyou was about to burst into tears. "I think you're the one who looks like a peasant woman!"
Just now, when he took out the purple fox fur, don't think he didn't see it; Yu Hanyan's eyes were practically glued to the fox fur.
What an ignorant and naive woman!
Yu Hanyan said that Jiang Qinyu was short-sighted and liked to take advantage of small things, so he had people guarding Yongshan County and setting up today's scheme as soon as Jiang Qinyu entered the city.
Jiang Qinyu, however, was completely unmoved. Not only did she not rush to grab the cheap furs like the other common people, but she also resisted the temptation of the precious furs he offered, refusing even when they were given to her.
How could that idiot Yu Hanyan say that people can't resist buying good things? It's clearly her who can't resist buying things!
"Your Highness, please calm down! Your Highness, spare my life!" Yu Hanyan crawled on her knees to Jiang Chengyou's side, hugging his legs, and said, "Perhaps she saw some good things in the General's Mansion, so..."
"Enough! I don't need any more advice from you. She has clearly suspected you today. From now on, you are not allowed to go anywhere!" Jiang Chengyou flicked his sleeve, kicked Yu Hanyan to the ground, and slammed the door as he left.
Yu Hanyan pounded the ground with her fists, glaring hatefully at the tightly closed door, her eyes blazing with fury. "Jiang Qinyu, you bitch!"
Unfortunately, Jiang Qinyu had no idea that someone was cursing her. They had just finished buying everything the village needed and were on their way back.
"We really made the right choice coming here today, Lao Meng, don't you think?" Li Dachui said happily.
Meng Tianze laughed as he drove the cart, "Yes, we really found a good deal."
Village Chief Li was also talking to Jiang Qinyu, "Niece, I just saw you chatting with that young master for a bit. Is he the owner of this fur trading caravan?"
“Yes, it’s him. He said they are from the Jiang family of Tanzhou,” Jiang Qinyu replied.
Upon hearing this, Village Chief Li exclaimed, "Oh dear! No wonder they're selling the hides so cheaply!"
"Uncle Village Chief, is there anything else to say about the Jiang family of Tanzhou?" Jiang Qinyu asked curiously, intrigued.
Village Chief Li said, "I heard that the Jiang family used to be from the border town. For generations, their family had been in the business of trading furs. They were also kind-hearted and often did good deeds. However, they moved to Tanzhou twenty years ago, and we haven't heard anything about them since."
"So, the Jiang family is a family that accumulates good deeds?" Jiang Qinyu asked thoughtfully.
Village Chief Li nodded and said, "Yes, thirty years ago, our Yongshan County experienced a landslide. At that time, the Jiang family sent people from the border town to distribute porridge, and they distributed porridge at the town gate for a whole month!"
These words made Jiang Qinyu even more confused.
If the Jiang family is truly such a virtuous family, then why does she feel so strongly wary of that young master Jiang?
"We've really run into each other this time. When I get back, I'll tell the villagers that anyone who wants to buy leather can go to town in the next couple of days," Village Chief Li said cheerfully.
Jiang Qinyu didn't say anything when she heard this. After all, those hides were real things, and Meng Tianze hadn't said there was anything wrong with them. Since that young master Jiang said he would bring dozens more truckloads, wouldn't it be good for the villagers to take advantage of the situation?
