The fate was changed, the mistress of the Hou family was slapped in the face and made money to win

"Do you know Miss Jiang?" After asking, Zhou Zixia thought for a moment and said, "I don't know her name, I only know her last name is Jiang, and she is the owner of Ning Mo Zhai."

"It's her. I've also heard about Ning Mo Zhai's news. So you've been reading in Ning Mo Zhai these days?"

"Yes." Zhou Zixia nodded, and told Shen Yanxi what he heard in the bookstore.

"This Miss Jiang is really special." Zhou Zixia couldn't help but sigh.

It is not only a kind and compassionate heart, but also the protection of the dignity of others.

"It's really special." Shen Yanxi thought of the Jiang family's election for the imperial merchant some time ago.

Because they met in the teahouse, he paid more attention to it. Zhang Wangcheng fell, the Zeng family got into trouble, the Jiang family successfully escaped danger and became the royal merchants, and Zeng's wife and her sister, who had met Jiang Suining in the teahouse, disappeared later. Thinking about it carefully, these might be related to Jiang Suining.

However, after Zhang Wangcheng's downfall, everything that happened in the Zhang family was exposed. He also asked his father about some of the details. If it was really Jiang Suining's work, she did save a lot of people.

"Yanxi, Yanxi..." Zhou Zixia's voice brought Shen Yanxi back from his thoughts.

"What are you thinking about?" Zhou Zixia said with a smile.

"Nothing." Shen Yanxi shook his head. "Even if you have a place to read, this yard is old and..."

"If you want to persuade me to go back to the Shen family with you, forget it." Zhou Zixia interrupted Shen Yanxi, "You know I won't agree."

He was not being distant with Yan Xi, but he just had to maintain proper propriety.

Shen Yanxi looked at him and suddenly laughed, "I know you won't agree."

"So you shouldn't..."

"I have a separate courtyard that my father once gave me. It's now vacant and no one lives there. It's just right for you to move in. It's not far from Ning Mo Zhai."

"Yanxi, it's really not necessary."

"Stop talking nonsense." Shen Yanxi interrupted Zhou Zixia directly, "Anyway, it's idle and no one lives there. I've already asked someone to clean it up, but you have to take care of your own meals. The weather has been hot recently. If something happens to you living in this yard, I'll still be the one who'll be in trouble in the end, right?"

Zhou Zixia looked at Shen Yanxi and finally did not refuse the other party's kindness. He knew that things had come to this point, and continuing to refuse would only waste Shen Yanxi's time and let down the other party's kindness.

He didn't have much stuff, so he packed it up quickly and followed Shen Yanxi to his villa.

It is not a very large courtyard, but its layout and scenery are very thoughtful, with waterside pavilions, corridors, and a pavilion with green bamboos. It is so quiet that it seems even less hot than outside.

"I know you won't speak, but now that you're in the imperial city, the most important thing is the upcoming imperial examination. Don't force yourself to keep silent just because you don't want to cause trouble for others." Shen Yanxi stood on the corridor, looking at Zhou Zixia seriously.

"Got it." Zhou Zixia responded with a smile, "If I really run into any trouble, I'll speak up."

"Okay." Shen Yanxi nodded, "Then I'll go home first."

"Okay." Zhou Zixia responded.

Shen Yanxi left, but after taking a few steps, he suddenly stopped.

"Is there anything else you want to tell me?" Zhou Zixia looked at him. The other party was obviously two years younger than him, but most of the time, he always felt that they were of the same age. In fact, Yan Xi was more stable than him at certain times.

Maybe it’s because he’s born smart, Zhou Zixia thought with emotion.

"No." Shen Yanxi shook his head. "I just want to ask you, have you ever read about the dynasty in the book that Miss Jiang mentioned?"

"This is the first time I've heard of it. But you've always read a lot of books, so you've never seen it before?" Zhou Zixia said.

"No." Shen Yanxi retracted his gaze, "Forget it, if I meet her next time, I will ask Miss Jiang."

Zhou Zixia watched Shen Yanxi leave.

At the gate, the servant driving the car looked at Shen Yanxi who came out and said, "Master, why don't you just live with Master Zhou?"

Anyway, this yard can accommodate everyone, and the young master has been living here since the beginning of summer, so why does he have to move out?

"If we live together, he will inevitably feel that he is causing me trouble. How can it compare to living alone and being free?"

The servant thought about it, nodded and said, "That's right."

It seems that Mr. Zhou is also a polite person. I just helped him carry the luggage and thanked him. But think about it, the friends made by their young master must be right!

Before driving away, Shen Yanxi specifically instructed the servant to take a detour through the long street that passed by Ning Mozhai.

When the carriage arrived at the gate of Ning Mo Zhai, Jiang Suining just walked out with Biyun.

As dusk approached, lanterns were lit sporadically along the long street.

It was too hot during the day, and as the evening breeze gradually cooled down, more people appeared on the streets.

Shen Yanxi was sitting in the carriage. Although he had said before that he would ask if they met, it was never his habit to really wait for that coincidence.

However, at this moment, Jiang Suining was not far ahead, and Shen Yanxi suddenly didn't want to ask anymore.

Tilting his head slightly, he looked at Jiang Suining through the car window.

She did not take a carriage, but walked towards the Jiang family with the maid beside her. No one knew what the two were talking about. Jiang Suining had a smile on her face. Although the crowd was bustling, she could be seen at a glance.

"Master, what are we doing here?" the servant asked doubtfully.

Shen Yanxi watched Jiang Suining's figure completely disappear at the end of the long street, put down the curtain in his hand, and spoke slowly.

"Nothing, let's go."

……

Although everyone was hoping that the heat would pass quickly, the result was the opposite of what they expected.

Over the next three or four days, the temperature not only showed no signs of dropping, but seemed to get even hotter.

The news that Ning Mo Zhai was providing a place for people to cool off had almost spread throughout the imperial city, and more people came to Ning Mo Zhai during the day. Chu Jingyue also came to Ning Mo Zhai once and brought some ice to Jiang Suining.

But she obviously underestimated the amount of ice Jiang Suining had stockpiled. In the end, Jiang Suining not only returned the ice, but also gave some extra to Chu Jingyue.

However, despite this, there are still many scholars who insist on staying in Hanyuan Bookstore. Even in the hearts of those scholars who come to study in the cool air, although Ning Mozhai has done a righteous act, if we really talk about the nature of a bookstore, it is still not as good as Hanyuan Bookstore.

Occasionally hearing such discussions, Jiang Suining didn't get angry, but just smiled it off.

Just as the Mid-Autumn Festival was approaching, something went wrong at Hanyuan Bookstore.

"Miss, there's a fire, there's a fire!" At the Jiang family, Biyun ran into the yard in a hurry.

Jiang Mushi was reading in Jiang Suining's yard. Hearing this, he was shocked and asked quickly, "Where is the fire?"

"It's Han, Hanyuan Bookstore!"
