After picking up a system

It was not yet the season for ice supply, and even if it was, Ling Han would not be able to get any ice. After all, she was just an unloved concubine who was kept in the manor.

No matter how far the rumor spread, it was not as far as the capital city, which was very far away from Zhuangzi. Even the huge mansion of a third-rank official would not show special care to the concubine's daughter in Zhuangzi.

The moon was rising above the branches, and Ling Han tried not to do any exercise after taking a bath, so as to avoid sweating again.

She moved a bench and sat in front of the cage, and opened the door when no one was watching.

Bai Shiyan raised his eyes to look at her, not understanding what she was going to do. Ling Han called him, "Come out quickly, come out and play with me."

Bai Shiyan: “…” He didn’t really want to pay attention to a kid who was still wet behind the ears.

Put your head down and continue to curl up into a ball.

Ling Han reached out to poke him: "You won't bite me, will you?"

Ling Han moved her nose, but didn't smell anything bad. In the previous world, she had also received foxes, probably both were canines, so the smell of foxes and dogs was somewhat similar. But Bai Shiyan was different, he didn't smell bad, and he didn't eat or excrete.

When I thought that he was a fox demon, I had a sudden feeling of enlightenment.

Bai Shiyan didn't move, so Ling Han stayed by his side, touching his head, his back, and smoothing the remaining hair on Bai Shiyan's tail.

Bai Shiyan was extremely annoyed by her, and he raised his head and made a shrill cry.

Ling Han was startled and retracted his hand. He wondered if he needed to get a rabies vaccine if he was bitten by a fox demon.

Dissatisfied with being startled, he muttered, "So he's not a dumb fox." to ease his embarrassment.

Bai Shiyan was too lazy to pay attention to her again. He lowered his head, hesitated for a while, and then quietly moved inside.

Ling Han just wanted to take him out and squeeze him today, so she squatted down and put half of her body into the cage. She didn't know until she entered that it was completely big enough for her to stay in.

After sitting down, she grabbed the fox that had been hiding in the corner. Bai Shiyan shouted twice in dissatisfaction and tried to get off Ling Han's legs.

Ling Han tightly grasped his limbs, preventing him from breaking free.

Bai Shiyan was really annoyed. What was wrong with this little girl? She had to get into the cage to torture him.

Bai Shiyan bit Ling Han's arm, but at a level that made it painful but not enough to cause bleeding.

Ling Han did not let go, and still forced the fox into her arms. At this moment, she seemed to understand the child's stubbornness. She just wanted to hug the fox. From her own perspective, she wanted to hug the fox, but the fox didn't want her to hug it, and she didn't understand why the fox didn't let her hug it.

And bit her.

Hum. I want to hug you.

Bai Shiyan lay helplessly in Ling Han's arms. Ling Han's arms were already bleeding, but she refused to let go.

Ling Han hugged the fox contentedly. Her snow-white pajamas were already covered with dust. She was sweating profusely, and her back was wet.

After taking a deep breath for a while, Ling Han asked, "You can understand what I'm saying, right?"

Bai Shiyan nodded tentatively.

Ling Han: "Since I am speaking words that you can understand, then you should also speak words that I can understand. This is fair, understand?"

Bai Shiyan: “…”

Ling Han was waiting for him to speak, "Why aren't you talking yet?"

Bai Shiyan: "You are so unreasonable, kid, why don't you let me go quickly."

Ling Han: “No, if I let go, you will definitely run away and won’t let me hold you.”

Bai Shiyan: "Didn't your elders tell you not to provoke the Five Immortals?"

Ling Han: "Ghosts can become immortals, and you are still a ghost. If you hurt people, you will never become an immortal."

Bai Shiyan: "You may not be very old, but you know a lot. If you make me angry, I will sacrifice my whole life to hurt you."

Ling Han: "You are repaying kindness with enmity, and you will not have a good ending."

Bai Shiyan: "You are using this as an excuse to repay a favor and making up groundless arguments."

Ling Han: “Oh.”

Bai Shiyan: “…”

Ling Han pinched Bai Shiyan's forelimbs and found that there was no obvious swelling. He marveled at the fox demon's ability to recover and asked, "Master Fox Demon, what is your surname and name, and where do you live?"

Bai Shiyan: "My name is Bai Shiyan, and I live in Qingzhou."

Ling Han tilted his head: "Qingzhou, where did the white fox come from in Qingzhou?" He then remembered what the maids had said, "Oh, it turned out to be the offspring of a white fox and a red fox."

Bai Shiyan was furious: "Who said that! I am a real red fox!"

Ling Han paused: "Are you a red fox?"

Bai Shiyan: “Yeah.”

Ling Han went over the dominant and recessive nature of the gene in his head and asked tentatively, "Did your ancestors have a white fox?"

Bai Shiyan said gloomily: "No."

Ling Han was thinking about the news he had read before, in which an albino brown bear was sent to the North Pole as if it were a polar bear. He thought that Bai Shiyan should be an albino fox, but isn't albinism congenital? Why isn't Bai Shiyan a completely white fox?

Ling Han: "Were you born this color?"

Bai Shiyan moved his tail and saw those tiny red spots. "This red color has only appeared recently."

Ling Han nodded. She understood. Bai Shiyan was an albino red fox, and an albino red fox that was in the process of regaining its color!

So cool!

Ling Han: "I am Ling Han, a native of the capital. I am still young, so I hope you can forgive me if I have offended you."

Bai Shiyan snorted: "Sharp-tongued."

Tonight, Ling Han and Bai Shiyan had a conversation.

After changing his clothes behind the screen, Ling Han chose to fall asleep.

When Ling Han woke up the next day, he lay in bed for a while, got out of bed, washed and dressed, had breakfast, said hello and went out again. The scab on his knee had not fallen off yet, and he felt tight when he bent his knee.

She planned to go to the town today to see how others did business. When they heard her say that she was going to the town, Nanny An and Nanny Song hurriedly asked Chunya and Guard Guo to follow her.

The ox cart was shaking and not moving fast. Originally, there was a horse carriage on the farm, and there is still one now, but the annual cost of raising a horse is too high, and not many people in this remote place in Qingzhou can afford a horse carriage. Considering many factors, the horse was finally sold.

Arriving in the town, Ling Han felt his waist was already sore. Even though he had been in Qingzhou for more than five years, his body was still so weak. It was probably because he was taken care of too well on weekdays and had never done any heavy work.

Ling Han asked Chun Ya: "Where is the place to do business in town?"

Chunya looked at Guard Guo, who coughed lightly and asked, "Miss, are you looking for the market?"

Ling Han shook his head.

Guard Guo: "Wealth is not exposed to the public. Most business deals are handled through go-betweens. They arrange for a private room in a restaurant, write a few documents and sign them after negotiation. Outsiders cannot see what's going on."

So Ling Han realized that she had been careless. She only knew that there were many people doing sericulture business in Qingzhou, but she didn't know that doing business was not something that could be watched by others.
