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

"That's right!" Jiang Mushi looked happy. "I did very well in the exam this time, even better than last time. But my cousin... didn't pass at all."

He had known for a long time that Zheng Yan'er would brag in front of her mother. Although he thought it was a bit exaggerated, Zheng Yan'er did seem very hardworking in the academy on weekdays and was once praised by the teacher for her serious attendance in class, so he did not say much. However, he did not expect that Zheng Yan'er did not even pass the assessment.

"By the way, the teacher also said that because of my sister, he had high expectations for my cousin. As for now, he hopes that my cousin can ask my sister for advice more often and keep up the good work."

"Mu Shi!" Zheng gave Jiang Mu Shi a warning look, then looked at Zheng Yan'er who was bowing her head, and consoled him, "Yan'er, it's okay. If you don't pass, then you don't pass. After all, you've only been in school for a short time."

Zheng Yan'er felt embarrassed and angry.

She originally thought that since Jiang Suining could get first place, it shouldn't be difficult, but she couldn't even understand the questions.

And the abominable Jiang Mushi actually laughed at her like this!

"Mom, this is unfair. That's not what you said when I failed the test." Jiang Mushi said dissatisfiedly.

"Can you two be the same? After all, Yan'er has just been in the academy for a short time."

"She had previously boasted about how hardworking and studious she was at home, and how well she did in school."

"Brat, you..."

"Okay, Mu Shi, eat your meal peacefully." Jiang Zhitong said.

Although he still had some grudges against Zheng Yan'er after the last incident, she was his wife's niece after all, and he didn't want to see Zheng angry.

Jiang Mushi curled his lips and said nothing more.

Zheng Yan'er suppressed her anger, forced a smile, and pretended not to care and said, "Aunt, don't worry, I'm fine. I just didn't feel well during the test. I will definitely pass next time."

"I'm not feeling well. What's wrong with you?"

"I……"

"Why didn't you tell me earlier that you were not feeling well? I saw that you were feeling well that day. By the way, you looked unhappy after the exam. It seemed that you knew you would not pass!" Jiang Mushi couldn't help but speak again.

"Mu Shi!" Zheng stared at him helplessly.

"Mother, I..."

"Eat your meal well and don't talk back to your mother again." Jiang Zhitong spoke again, with a warning in his tone.

Jiang Zhitong didn't care whether Zheng Yan'er's words about feeling uncomfortable were true or not, but he knew that his wife loved Zheng Yan'er, so he added a word of comfort.

"Yan'er, you should eat too. Do well on the exam next time."

During the meal, Jiang Suining hardly said a word and just watched the show.

Because of Zheng Yan'er, the Jiang family's dinner table had unknowingly become much quieter than usual.

After dinner, Zheng Yan'er immediately returned to her room and began to study hard, trying her best to get back at her for the next time.

Over the next month, Ning Mozhai's work was finally completed.

Ning Mo Zhai reopened with the sound of lively firecrackers and the people's onlookers and cheers. This time, Ning Mo Zhai had both the support of the people and the authorization of the court. In a short period of time, it had completely distanced itself from other bookstores in the imperial city.

After everything was on track, Jiang Suining did not sit idle, but started planning to open a third shop.

A few months later, a restaurant named Ningxiuguan officially opened in the joyful atmosphere at the end of the year.

The spring rain adds color to the flowers, and the breeze sings the cicadas in the middle of the night.

The leaves of the parasol tree have all fallen, and snow is on the branches.

In a blink of an eye, more than a year has passed and it is another New Year.

There is only a little over a month left until Jiang Suining's coming-of-age ceremony, and the Jiang family has already started preparing.

In this year or so, Zheng Yan'er finally passed the academy assessment, and her assessment results gradually entered the middle level, but she was also very tired.

A few months ago, perhaps he could not bear it anymore, or perhaps he was jealous of Jiang Suining opening one shop after another and making a lot of money, so he gave up going to the academy and started pestering Zheng, wanting to open a shop and do business as well.

As for Jiang Suining, her business has been booming over the past year or so, and her fifth shop opened two months ago.

It was a rice shop called Ning Yu Zhuang.

In addition, more than half a year ago, she also opened an embroidery workshop called Ningjinfang. However, unlike most of the embroidery workshops in Beiyang Kingdom, women who went in to learn embroidery could get a share of the profits from selling the embroidery works they made during their apprenticeship as long as their skills were good enough.

Because of this, Ningjinfang was very popular, and many women were willing to come in to learn the craft, and they studied very hard for the money. In just half a year, Ningjinfang's embroidery had completely established a foothold in the imperial city.

As for Ning Yu Zhuang, although it looks like just an ordinary rice shop, it is closely related to the daily needs of the people in the imperial city, and has no worries about business.

As for Jiang Suining's reputation, it had already spread throughout the imperial city.

Some people say she has a kind heart.

I always remember that Ning Mo Zhai provided a cool place for the common people.

Some people praised her for her business skills.

Ningyue Pavilion gathers the noble ladies from the imperial city.

Ning Mo Zhai became a gathering place for scholars and students.

Ningxiu Restaurant generously invited chefs from all over the country. It has rich dishes, diverse choices, a large selection of aged wines, and different flavors for each season. It has become a popular choice for banquets for dignitaries in the imperial city, and it makes a fortune every day.

As for Ning Embroidery Workshop, its embroidery products are exquisite but not expensive, and are very popular among ordinary people.

There is also the rice shop of Ning Yu Zhuang, which serves the entire imperial city.

The five shops served everyone, from the wealthy to the common people.

Of course, some people also think that Jiang Suining is really lucky. He opens one shop after another and always finds new ideas to attract people's attention. Even the most ordinary rice shop has introduced a method of taking reservations and delivering rice to customers on time every month, which has attracted a wave of customers. It is really enviable.

However, only those around Jiang Suining knew how much time and effort were spent behind this so-called luck.

When Biyun walked into the room with the freshly cooked bird's nest, she saw Jiang Suining looking at the account book again and couldn't help frowning.

"Miss, you have been busy all day, take a break now."

"There's still a little left. You can rest after checking. If you're tired, go down and rest first. You don't have to stay with me."

Jiang Suining was wearing a simple moon-white long dress. When she lowered her head, her eyes and brows became more gentle and calm, and her whole body was full of elegance.

"Miss, it's okay to look at the account book tomorrow. What if you collapse from exhaustion?" Biyun said helplessly.

Jiang Suining raised his head, and his eyes seemed to be filled with moonlight under the candlelight.

"Okay Biyun, don't rush me. I'm really not tired."

But Biyun didn't buy it. "Even if you're not tired, you should rest. Miss, if you keep looking, I'll go find the young master. If the young master hides your account book again, you can't blame me."

"No need for you to look for me, I'm here."
