Mr. Sun kicked the boy again and cursed:

"If you want to cry, go to the backyard, don't cry in front of me!"

After that, he instructed the steward behind him:

"Take him away, give him twenty strokes of the cane, and fine him one month's salary! Don't let him guard the front door anymore. Make him clean the toilet instead."

After hearing this, Manager Li glanced at the servant who was still kneeling on the ground and slapping himself repeatedly, then waved to the two servants beside him and dragged the servant to the backyard.

Mr. Sun then looked at Jiang Yuwei and Ning Huaizhi and said with a smile:

"I just punished the servants in your house in this way. I wonder if you are satisfied?"

Jiang Yuwei said calmly:

"We have no control over how you, Mr. Sun, discipline your servants. We came here this time to use up the second chance in our document."

Jiang Yuwei took some Yuwei paper from the car and handed it to Sun Yuanwai, saying with a smile:

"This paper is produced by our own paper mill, and is called Yuwei paper. We are now planning to open a shop opposite Ge's Paper Shop on North Street to sell Yuwei paper. Today I came here to ask Mr. Sun to help mention it to the nobles in Ping'an Town and talk about its benefits. It would be great if we could find a few famous writers in Ping'an Town to help write a few big characters on Yuwei paper."

After hearing this, Mr. Sun took the paper from Jiang Yuwei and said with a smile:

"Okay, I'll do it for you, but I want to remind you that if you open a shop opposite the Ge family, you must be extremely careful and vigilant. I have met Mr. Ge a few times, and he looks like a difficult person to deal with. I have also heard some of his deeds, and he is ruthless and leaves no room for retreat."

Jiang Yuwei smiled and nodded:

"Okay, I understand. Thank you Mr. Sun for reminding me. I'll leave the matter I just mentioned to you."

Mr. Sun nodded and said to Jiang Yuwei:

"I still want to thank you. I was really rude that day. Now my mother has taken the Gastrodia elata you gave her and she is in great shape. Three days later is my mother's 90th birthday and I plan to give her a big party at home. My mother specifically asked me to invite you to the birthday party. She said that if it weren't for your Gastrodia elata, she wouldn't be alive today."

Mr. Sun said, looking at Jiang Yuwei's expression again and continued:

"I was thinking of sending someone to find out your address and personally delivering the invitation to your house. Now that you are here, I will tell you in person. You must be there when the time comes, otherwise I really won't be able to explain to my mother."

After hearing this, Jiang Yuwei turned around and looked at Ning Huaizhi. Ning Huaizhi smiled and nodded at her. Jiang Yuwei thought Ning Huaizhi wanted her to agree, so she looked at Mr. Sun and nodded:

"Okay, since it's the old lady's birthday party, I will definitely come."

Mr. Sun did not expect Jiang Yuwei to agree so readily. After all, he had offended her badly in Huichuntang last time, and the servants in the house gave her a cold look today. Mr. Sun thought Jiang Yuwei would not agree, and was very hesitant when he said this. Now that she agreed, he can give an explanation to his mother.

Mr. Sun breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile:

"Then I will do my best to complete the tasks you give me!"

Jiang Yuwei said goodbye to Mr. Sun with a smile and got on the ox cart. They had to go to Xu's house before dark to tell the second young master that they were opening a shop.

Ning Huaizhi said while driving the ox cart:

"I thought you wouldn't accept Mr. Sun's invitation."

Jiang Yuwei tilted her head in confusion:

"Hmm? Didn't you ask me to promise to attend the old lady's birthday party?"

Ning Huaizhi turned around and looked at Jiang Yuwei and said:

"Where did I say that? I didn't say a word."

Jiang Yuwei frowned:

"You still say you didn't, but it was you who nodded at me and asked me to agree!"

Ning Huaizhi smiled helplessly after hearing this:

"I nodded to you because I will stand by your side no matter what you decide. I didn't mean to ask you to agree to him..."

Jiang Yuwei held her forehead with her hand:

"Forget it, since the old lady has sincerely invited us, let's come and participate. Besides, Mr. Sun doesn't seem to be a bad person. Maybe it was because the old lady's illness was serious that day in Huichun Hall that he said such hurtful words."

Ning Huaizhi nodded and said nothing more.

Since the Sun and Xu families were relatively close to each other, the two soon arrived at the gate of the Xu family's house, where they happened to meet Manager Zhang who was on his way out of the house to make some purchases.

Jiang Yuwei hurriedly got out of the car and greeted him:

"Manager Zhang, are you going out?"

When Manager Zhang saw that the person coming was Jiang Yuwei, he smiled and said:

"Yes, the Madam wanted to eat something sour these days, but she couldn't find anything she liked, so she sent me out to buy her some food."

Jiang Yuwei thought for a moment and smiled:

"I happen to know how to make a sour drink that's perfect for summer. How about I go into the mansion and make it for Madam to try?"

Manager Zhang's eyes lit up when he heard this:

"Okay, okay, you really helped me a lot!"

Jiang Yuwei smiled and said:

"Actually, I came here today to ask the Second Young Master for help."

Manager Zhang frowned:

"What's the matter? Tell me first, and I'll tell the Second Young Master for you."

Jiang Yuwei smiled and said:

"I just bought a shop opposite the Ge's Paper Shop on North Street to sell paper. I'll trouble you to say a few good words for me in the future. I've sent you some paper to see if I can ask him to write a calligraphy work. We'll display it in our shop. If you have any acquaintances of writers, we'll ask them to write a couple of calligraphy for us. We'll personally send some paper to thank you."

After hearing this, Manager Zhang's brows relaxed and he said with a smile:

"That's not a problem. Our young master is used to your Yuwei paper now. He doesn't like other papers. Even without you telling him, our young master always goes out to tell others how good your paper is. Now that you have opened a shop on North Street, it must be very good. It will be more convenient for our young master to buy paper."

Seeing what Manager Zhang said, Jiang Yuwei knew that this matter could be accomplished, so she said hello to Ning Huaizhi and followed Manager Zhang into Xu's house and went to the kitchen to make sour plum soup.

It just so happened that Jiang Yuwei still had some ingredients left for sour plum soup that she bought at the pharmacy, so she used them to make some for Mrs. Xu to try.

As soon as Jiang Yuwei stepped into the kitchen, she was splashed with a basin of cold water. Jiang Yuwei frowned and looked at Mrs. Li who was holding an empty basin. Just as she was about to speak, she heard Mrs. Li speak first in a sarcastic tone:

"Oh, oh, you are walking without eyes, didn't you see I was going to splash dirty water, why did you rush into the dirty water, if you want to take a shower, go home and take a shower, why are you getting wet like this in our kitchen, are you trying to seduce our masters and young masters?"
