After the arranged marriage, she farms and survives under the tutelage of the villainous boss.

Speaking of other things, Zhang was a little flustered at the moment.

Looking at Jiang Zhiyun, he repeatedly said, "Yunniang, won't people say we're overstepping our bounds?"

“I’ve already thought it through. I was ridiculed before, but now that I’ve been invited to this banquet, I’m definitely going to make you the star of the show.”

Jiang Zhiyun said jokingly, "We're hosting the banquet. If anyone seems unhappy, we'll just give them a sip or two less of their drink."

"Not to mention the whole province, even compared to all the capital cities, our homemade wine is the best."

Jiang Zhiyun, being a reborn individual, had considerable confidence in her family's culinary skills.

She now feels that Zhang was definitely underestimated before. Otherwise, wouldn't every single one of her skills be top-notch?

No matter how Yunniang looked at it, she thought it was perfect.

Zhang's culinary skills were praised by Yunniang from beginning to end.

Originally, Zhang was a little unsure, but after Jiang Zhiyun praised her, she was so proud of herself that she was practically strutting around.

“Yunniang is right.”

"Then I'll go prepare the ingredients first. I'll show off my skills."

"We earn our living through our own skills. If the host or anyone else laughs at us, then we'll let them not eat!"

Zhang Shi, with her arms crossed, was no longer as nervous as she had been when she first joined Yun Niang's profession.

Now there's even a lot more relaxation.

Yunniang nodded and gave her mother a thumbs up.

"That's right. Mother is right."

"There is nothing shameful about doing business. What is shameful is someone who has no money to eat but still insists on saving face."

Wasn't Zhang the same way before? During that exile that stretched thousands of miles, she begged the escorting soldiers and countless others just to survive, even fighting tooth and nail for a bite to eat…

I later realized that dignity was worthless.

Without her husband, she suffered so much hardship, but after meeting Yunniang, her suffering finally came to an end.

Therefore, Zhang always felt that it was Yunniang's marriage that changed the family's fate.

"Yunniang, you are the most important person in our family. Without you, our family would have been finished long ago."

Jiang Zhiyun was both amused and exasperated: "No, Xie Shuheng is very capable."

He must have been a superior person in his past life.

Zhang shook her head: "It's hard to say. He can be quite scary when he goes crazy. At first, I didn't have high hopes for this son. I just wanted him to be a normal person."

“After you came, my son is becoming more and more like a normal person.”

Those who don't know Xie Shuheng wouldn't say such a thing.

Jiang Zhiyun and Zhang Shi both felt that these words were incredibly insightful!

Xie Shuheng is an unfathomable person; one can sense that a ferocious beast dwells within him.

Yunniang even recalled how, in her past life, he stood in the Golden Palace, grabbing the Emperor by the neck and questioning him with a sword held to his throat—how terrifying that scene must have been.

I don't know if it's true or not, but it's true that Xie Shuheng is a ruthless killer.

Unfortunately, Zhang Shi and Yang Ge'er did not survive in their previous life because of Jiang Zhiwan's wickedness.

Jiang Zhiyun held Zhang's arm: "Mother, you still need to be more careful. Stay close to me in the future. If Jiang Zhiwan gets close to you and Yang Ge'er, don't pay any attention to her."

"Remember, stay away from Jiang Zhiwan."

She fears that some things are simply fate.

It's just stalling for time...

Therefore, Jiang Zhiyun must ensure that the important people around her are alive.

Madam Zhang nodded: "I know, Yunniang. You don't need to worry too much. I'm still very smart. I know I'm not good at fighting. If I can't beat someone, I'll run away."

"Next time I see Su Shaoye, I'll ask him to carry some poison with me. If anyone comes, we'll sprinkle poison powder."

Then he made that fierce gesture.

When Zhang saw Yunniang like this, her eyes were full of smiles.

"You always make me laugh, you little rascal."

"Don't worry, Yunniang, your mother won't hold you back." Zhang clenched her fists. If Yunniang wasn't afraid, then she had nothing to be afraid of.

Just follow her instructions.

He had just mentioned wanting to book the entire banquet for the Marquis of Nan'an's residence.

At this moment, Jiang Cheng led the way and brought in Xia Lan, the daughter-in-law of the Marquis of Nan'an.

Xia Lan Niangzi looked at Jiang Zhiyun and said, "Jiang Niangzi, I know that our two families are considered relatives."

"I've never visited before, and I feel a little embarrassed now."

She was a little embarrassed.

Jiang Zhiyun smiled and asked, "What brings you here, Madam Xia Lan?"

"None of these matters. There is no close relationship, and there will certainly be no need for relatives to interact in the future. But throughout history, people have been busy pursuing their own interests."

“Since Lady Xialan is looking for me, there is no need for me to feel shy or embarrassed. I don’t care about such things.”

Jiang Zhiyun speaks very simply, without any beating around the bush or unpleasantness; in fact, she speaks frankly, which makes communication easier.

Xia Lan also breathed a sigh of relief: "The family hasn't held a banquet for many years. Now that my parents-in-law have entrusted me with the task, you, as a relative of General Xie, are naturally invited as well."

"You might think it's inappropriate for me to say this, but I've asked many people to help me organize a good banquet, and everyone says that yours is the best. Right now, the most popular restaurant in the province is Xinsheng Restaurant."

"This time, I want to do something different."

Xia Lan spoke very sincerely.

“Madam Jiang, I know you might not take this kind of job, but I still want to ask you to come.”

"I'd rather have the best. As the general's wife, it's better if you don't want to take me."

Xia Lan sighed. She was clearly not good at speaking and not tactful enough in her actions.

At this moment, he was simply expressing what was on his mind to Jiang Zhiyun.

Jiang Zhiyun nodded calmly and said with a smile, "Yes, I understand, Lady Xia Lan."

"Let's talk business. You shouldn't be arguing with me like this. To put it bluntly, I'm a businessman too. If the money offered is sufficient and the family's sincerity is enough, we'll naturally be willing to go."

"It's convenient that you can be a customer and help with the cooking."

"I didn't feel there was anything wrong with it."

Hearing this, Xia Lan was immediately surprised: "Madam Jiang, do you mean you don't care about what others think?"

She thought that Jiang Zhiyun would at least give it more thought, or perhaps consider various conditions, and she also prepared herself for the possibility of not being able to invite Jiang Zhiyun.

Unexpectedly, she agreed immediately, and even now her gaze towards Xia Lan was full of gentleness.

It seems like they never care about these things.

"Madam Jiang, are you really sure?"

"nature."

Jiang Zhiyun nodded: "I'm in business, why wouldn't I make money?"

"Tell me the specific amount, how it will be calculated, and how our staff will be arranged."

"These housekeepers will handle the calculations, as for money."

Xia Lan took out ten gold ingots: "Is this enough, Madam Jiang?"

“Too many,” Jiang Zhiyun said.
