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

Jiang Zhitong left the imperial city today for business matters. When he got the news and rushed back, it was almost dark.

Along the way, his heart was in his throat. After seeing Zheng, he repeatedly confirmed that she was safe and sound, and then his heart settled back into his stomach.

However, looking at the injuries on Zheng's body, he still felt heartbroken. Under such circumstances, he naturally had no way to object to Zheng's request that Zheng Yan'er continue to stay in the Jiang family.

In the next few days, Zheng Yan'er stayed at home to recuperate. Zheng's also specially sent a shopkeeper to help look after the situation of Jinfeng Tower temporarily.

However, apart from the opening day, Jinfenglou's business in the past few days has been average. After deducting the cost of ingredients and the wages of the waiters and chefs from the daily turnover, there is not much profit, but it is not a loss either.

The shopkeeper who was helping to look after the situation initially made some suggestions when reporting to Zheng Yan'er, such as how to improve the situation. However, after discovering that Zheng Yan'er did not care about his opinions, he stopped talking.

As for Zheng Yaner, her attention is now focused on the menu of Ningxiu Restaurant.

It doesn’t matter if we don’t make money these few days. Once we get the recipe, we’ll offer a half-price promotion again to completely establish our reputation.

As for the suggestions made by the shopkeeper, Zheng Yan'er felt that they were just trivial points after all, and at most icing on the cake. Once she got the recipe, she would just use them together.

"How is it?" Taking advantage of the night, Zheng Yan'er met Xi'er again.

Although her legs had not fully recovered and it was still a little painful for her to walk all the way here quietly, she did not care about the pain because she was eager to get the news.

"Replying to the shopkeeper, there is a recipe."

"Did you see it?" Zheng Yan'er asked immediately.

Xier nodded. "Yesterday, the kitchen staff asked the young lady to confirm the dishes for the next half month. It seems that they were afraid that the customers would get tired of the dishes, so they stipulated that they would change the dishes every half a month. I saw the young lady took out the menu and re-selected some dishes."

"That's great. What about the recipe? Did you take the opportunity to get it?" Zheng Yan'er asked impatiently.

"No." Xier shook her head. "The recipe book is placed together with the account book. It is usually locked in a box. I can't get it."

"Idiot, don't you know how to pick the lock or steal the key?"

"I, I don't dare, and the lady has been asking me to stay with her, so I don't have a chance. I'm also afraid that before I get it, the lady will go back, and then..."

"Enough, it's useless to be afraid of this and that." Zheng Yan'er interrupted Xi'er with disgust, but she knew in her heart that if she wanted to get the account book smoothly, she would need an opportunity.

Suddenly, Zheng Yan'er's eyes lit up, "Got it, Jiang Suining's coming-of-age ceremony!"

In five days, it will be Jiang Suining's coming-of-age ceremony. The Jiang family has already prepared various things. Jiang Suining definitely won't have time to go to Ningxiu Restaurant that day, so this is a good time to take action.

After explaining the plan to Xier, Zheng Yaner returned to her own yard.

The next few days seemed like a year to her.

Finally, the coming-of-age ceremony arrived.

All preparations for the coming-of-age ceremony had been made long before.

Yesterday, all the servants of the Jiang family were busy cleaning and arranging the things.

Jiang Zhitong turned down all his tasks today, and went to the door with Zheng to welcome the guests in person.

The guest list was decided long ago. Jiang Zhitong's business partners and friends were all invited. In addition, the wives of Zheng's close friends were also invited. The Jiang family also sent special invitations to Jiang Suining and Jiang Mushi's friends.

Among those invited by Zheng, the one who was closest to her was Yu, whose family was in the tea business. After getting off the carriage, she saw Jiang Zhitong and his family personally welcoming the guests. She walked forward and said with a smile: "I can see that you two really love your daughter."

"Of course, today is our Suining's big day!" Zheng's face was full of smiles.

Jiang Zhitong also smiled and nodded at Yu.

"I've heard you talk about your daughter so many times, and I even went to the restaurant twice, but unfortunately I didn't get to see her. Today I want to see what your daughter, who you usually praise so much, looks like."

"Go ahead and look. Our Sui Ning is a fairy-like girl. We are not afraid of you looking at her. Just don't think of taking her home as your daughter after you look at her." Zheng was full of confidence and even made a few jokes because of their good relationship.

"Hearing what you said, I really want to see her right away." Yu looked around, "I think this person is almost here, so you don't have to stay here, come with me to see your angelic daughter."

"This..." Zheng hesitated and looked at Jiang Zhitong.

The latter smiled and said, "Madam, you go ahead. Just check if Sui Ning is ready. I'll be here."

"Okay." Zheng responded, and then took Yu into the house.

According to the rules, Jiang Suining can only come out after the ceremony, so he is still in the courtyard.

"We're here. This is Suining's yard." Zheng stopped outside Jiang Suining's yard.

As soon as I entered, I saw Zheng Yan'er in the yard.

"She is your daughter?"

Yu looked at Zheng Yan'er and found her to be well-behaved and cute, but to say that she was like a fairy was still a bit exaggerated. However, as a mother, she was naturally satisfied with her daughter.

Yu smiled and said, "She is indeed a beautiful lady."

"No, she is my niece, her name is Yan'er." Zheng explained.

Although Zheng Yan'er had never met Yu, she knew that they must have a close relationship when she saw that Yu was accompanied by Zheng herself.

Facing Yu's compliments, she politely said, "Forgive me for being rude, Yan'er. I don't know how to address you."

"Your aunt and I have been friends for many years. My last name is Yu and my husband's last name is Zhou. You can just call me Aunt Zhou." Yu looked at Zheng Yan'er with satisfaction. She seemed to be a well-behaved and polite person.

"Yes, hello, Aunt Zhou." Zheng Yan'er responded even more obediently.

Yu looked at her and was about to praise her a few more times, but the next moment, Jiang Suining walked out of the room.

Different from the simple dresses she wore in the past, today she wore a purple peony dress with wide sleeves and long skirt, with a pattern of thin water mist and phoenix tail, and her hair was tied up in a bun. Because she would have to comb her hair and put on a hairpin for the ceremony later, she did not wear any complicated hairpins or rings, only a plain hairpin.

Under normal circumstances, such a dress, if not covered by a few precious jewels, would easily look uncoordinated, and the dress would completely overshadow the person. But at this moment, Jiang Suining walked out with a graceful temperament and a beautiful appearance, and even her eyes and eyebrows seemed to be impeccable.

Not only was she not covered in the slightest by the dress, but it gave people the feeling that no matter how luxurious and grand the dress was, it could only serve as a match for the person in front of her.

"Mother." Jiang Suining walked into the yard and bowed to Zheng.

Just now in the room, she had heard what Yu said, and she turned slightly to greet Yu.

"Meet Aunt Zhou."

Yu stared at Jiang Suining in a daze. After she came to her senses, she couldn't help but turn her head and speak to Zheng.

"I believe you now. How did you get so lucky to have such a beautiful daughter?"
