Transmigrated Little Farm Girl Bringing Great Fortune

early morning.

The weather is calm and sunny.

Magpies perch on branches.

The continuous rain that had been falling for several days finally stopped.

After a series of thunderous explosions.

The termite mushrooms and other fungi in the mountains have sprouted.

Jiangzhou Yipinju has launched a new dish, which is different from rare and expensive mountain delicacies such as chicken mushroom and bamboo fungus.

This new dish is both delicious and affordable.

It is famous far and wide.

From high-ranking officials to ordinary people, many people come here just to try this new product.

On the official road, a caravan sped toward Jiangzhou City.

In the middle was a three-horse carriage, surrounded by a small squad of light cavalry.

Because the convoy was rather conspicuous and seemed to have few guards, they encountered several groups of reckless bandits along the way...

All who came never returned.

Even more surprisingly, the bandits' hideout was gone.

When they approached Jiangzhou City.

The convoy slowed down and drove slowly into the city.

Pedestrians have become accustomed to the constant flow of traffic these days, so they don't find it strange.

Jiangzhou City is unlike the capital.

In areas far from the emperor's reach, the hierarchy regarding the allocation of carriages and horses was not as strict.

It was not uncommon for wealthy merchants to travel in three or four horse-drawn carriages.

Everyone was surprised that the entourage of this caravan was tall and strong, unlike those of other families.

The carriage stopped.

It stopped in front of Yipinju Restaurant.

The common people didn't find it strange; all sorts of horse-drawn carriages were now parked on this street, all coming to Yipinju on Sajin Street to enjoy the delicacies of the mountains.

The maid lifted the curtain.

A slender, white hand emerged from inside. Even before seeing her face, one could sense that the person sitting in the car must be an exceptionally elegant beauty.

As a result, the beauty peeked out from the carriage, looked around, took the hand of her maid, and jumped off the carriage.

His movements were unrestrained and bold.

She was a beauty, and a strikingly beautiful and spirited woman with a sharp and elegant style.

It is beautiful, but it cannot be considered elegant.

But it gives people a noble and cheerful feeling.

Just when everyone thought the carriage was empty, the beautiful woman got off and put her hand back in.

Then, another slender, delicate white hand was placed on hers.

The woman peeking out was truly a beauty, a quiet and sweet young girl.

The young girl, supported by her older sister, gracefully stepped off the carriage.

The two entered Yipinju together.

He was followed by only two guards and two maids.

When Manager Jin saw the carriage parked outside, he quickly came out to greet it.

She froze on the spot, "Second...Second Miss..."

His gaze swept over the young woman and girl, finally settling on the two guards behind him.

He suppressed his surprise.

He was stunned for only a moment before recovering and respectfully said, "Distinguished guests, please come to the private room upstairs!"

He led the group up to the third floor and closed the door.

Manager Jin then formally bowed again, "Master, Second Miss, Son-in-law, Third Miss... what brings you here?"

He almost thought he was seeing things.

The young lady waved her hand and said with a smile, "It seems we've frightened Manager Jin!"

Manager Jin suppressed his curiosity and replied, "Second Miss, what are you saying? This is our own place. You can come whenever you want. There's nothing to be afraid of."

The group sat down one by one.

The youngest girl then began to set up the tea set and personally brew tea for her older brothers and sisters.

This is also one of her many hobbies.

While the young girl was brewing tea, the tall guard beside him spoke up, "Jin Su, go and arrange some wine and dishes, according to the preferences of the second and third young ladies."

The man had a cold and stern face, exuding a somewhat murderous aura.

It wasn't that he was born this way, but rather that he had a natural air of authority due to years of military campaigns.

It's so striking that it's almost unbearable to look at.

"Yes, master."

Manager Jin acknowledged and withdrew, then hurriedly ordered his servants to serve wine and dishes.

The man's surname was Mu, his given name was Jin, and his courtesy name was Yunji.

He was the youngest and most promising general in Daqing, and also the youngest Duke, Duke Shen.

He also has another identity: the owner of Yipinju Restaurant.

Those two young ladies were the second and third daughters of the Duke's mansion.

The second daughter, Mu Jiangyue, is already married.

She married the man sitting next to her, dressed in a guard's uniform, who looked refined and scholarly.

Yan Huan is the current Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review.

The third daughter, Mu Qianxue.

She was still a young girl who had not yet reached marriageable age.

Despite her young age, she has been helping Madam Mu manage household affairs for many years and is one of the most outstanding young ladies in the capital.

Their father, the late Duke, was a pillar of the nation and a founding minister.

Their aunt is the current Empress Dowager.

The Mu family held a highly respected position throughout Daqing, and this Duke of Shen was a pillar of the state, leading troops in battles and protecting the people of Daqing year after year.

He hasn't been back for many years.

Upon seeing him today, Manager Jin almost didn't recognize him.

It's not that my appearance has changed much.

During his many years in the military, he always grew a beard, which covered most of his face.

Upon seeing him today, his face was clean and neatly groomed; he was undeniably a handsome young man.

Once the food was served, Manager Jin attended to him.

He would steal glances at his master every now and then, wondering why his handsome master, who was already quite old, was so stubborn.

The old lady and the Empress Dowager were nearly driven mad with worry.

The Mu family was already dwindling in number, with him being the only heir. If anything were to happen to him on the battlefield...

The incense offerings must not be interrupted.

Not only was the old lady worried, but he was worried for his master as well.

Mu Jiangyue noticed that Jin Su was glancing at her brother intentionally or unintentionally, and occasionally frowning.

Can't help but feel a little funny.

"Jin Su, do you see any difference between my older brother and before?"

Manager Jin thought for a moment and replied, "They're all different."

It seems that he is deliberately toning down his sharpness, but he has started to pay attention to his appearance.

Yan Huan echoed his wife, "What exactly is different? Tell me."

Shopkeeper Jin laughed and said, "Young master, it's obvious that you've shaved your beard, which makes you look even more handsome and imposing. I'm afraid you can't find a gentleman with such extraordinary bearing as my Duke in the whole of Daqing."

Clearly, this flattery was very well received.

Mu Yunji's lips curled up slightly. "Jin Su's monthly salary will double this year."

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.

Strangely enough, their unkempt eldest brother has actually started to pay attention to his appearance.

The sun rises from the west.

After finishing the meal.

Mu Jiangyue began to look through the accounts of Yipinju.

I was shocked when I turned it over.

Looking at Mu Yunji in disbelief, he asked, "Brother, how come your Yipinju restaurant earns more in one year than it did in the previous three or four years? The profits have increased several times over! How did you do that?"

three years ago.

Suddenly, the eldest brother took Yipinju from Mother's hands.

Originally, it was thought that he was going to sell the money to subsidize military use, but unexpectedly, the business became more and more successful and became famous throughout Daqing.

She and her third sister were very curious and wanted to learn about his business acumen.

Mu Qianxue rested her chin on her hand, looking at her brother with curiosity.

"Brother, tell me quickly, is there a master guiding you behind the scenes?"

Seeing his master grinning foolishly without speaking, Manager Jin was about to speak when he said, "It's Madam Lu..."

The words that were about to come out were swallowed back by Mu Yunji's glance.

He swallowed hard, not daring to utter a sound.

Judging from this, it seems that the second and third young ladies are unaware that Yipinju has changed owners.

Mu Yunji picked up the teacup and drank it all in one gulp.

Looking at Manager Jin, she smiled and said, "You'll have to ask Jin Su about that. As you know, I don't have time to deal with these things, and I don't know anything about business."

Manager Jin: ...

This...isn't it to prevent him from saying it?

Should I tell you or not? And how should I tell you?

He was having some trouble.

Everyone says that military generals are straightforward, but looking at this Duke, his guts are twisted more than a dozen times.

It's so awkward.

Manager Jin, having been through it all, said...

He understood his master's thoughts to some extent.

The Duke must not want his family to know that he sold most of Yipinju.

And it was sold to the person she wanted.

Although he and Lady Lu had known each other for many years, they were ultimately destined to be apart.

Perhaps it was a case of the King of Xiang being in love but the Goddess being indifferent.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have gotten married and had children so early, not giving him even the slightest chance.

Now, the money he got from selling the shop must have been used for the soldiers on the frontier.

I've never seen a general like him who pays out of his own pocket.

Mu Jiangyue looked at him: "Manager Jin, why don't you say something? Why did you stop halfway through your sentence?"

No one knows a brother better than his sister; this master and servant must be hiding something from her.

My elder brother is different from other military generals.

He is skilled in both literature and martial arts.

As a child, he was unruly and did not want to live under the protection of his family and father. He insisted on making his own way in the world.

Therefore, he studied and practiced martial arts from a young age, and he did not miss out on either.

He passed the imperial examination at the age of eighteen.

He quickly became a highly sought-after celebrity in the capital.

But in that same year, the Northern Barbarians invaded, my father died in battle, and the number of military generals dwindled.

The eldest brother resolutely abandoned his literary pursuits for military service, inheriting his father's legacy and title, and donned military uniform to go to the battlefield.

He said that there were many Jinshi (successful candidates in the highest imperial examinations) in the Daqing Kingdom.

However, there were very few generals who could lead troops into battle and defeat the Northern Di.

The thousands of soldiers on the frontier need him, and the battlefield needs him.

So, before he even came of age, he followed General Lu Huai'an, the General Who Guards the North, to the northern border.

They were gone forever.

In the past fifteen years, I've only returned twice.

He only returned to the capital after General Lu was unjustly imprisoned.

He shouldered the heavy responsibility of the army while simultaneously investigating the whereabouts of the military pay.

Finally, perseverance paid off.

He discovered large quantities of silver and grain being continuously transported into the Prince of Su's fiefdom.

They also received news that someone in Jiangzhou was privately refining government silver.

That's why I came to Jiangzhou on orders.

Her husband and elder brother came to investigate a case, which was about her friend's family. She was willing to risk her life to accompany them and come along to help.

Mu Jiangyue looked at Mu Yunji: "Brother, are you hiding something from me?"

"That's not true, don't make wild guesses."

Mu Yunji felt a little guilty. His second sister had been close to Qingyao since childhood, and whether he said it or not, he was afraid that she would let it slip.

The second sister's mouth is prone to leaking air.

Especially in front of close friends, there's simply no way to do it.

Manager Jin stepped in to defuse the situation, "Second Miss, the Duke is busy with national affairs; he has no time for business matters. You should ask me instead of him..."

Mu Jiangyue glanced at him sideways, "Then why don't you just say it? Why are you playing riddles?"

"Yes, yes, I said..."

"There's no real expert behind Yipinju, it's just that it has the guidance of Madam Lu and the financial support of Princess Liang..."

"Is there still this?"

Mu Jiangyue learned about Yao Yao's bamboo shoot business from the letter, which meant she had her own livelihood and no longer needed to worry about her.

Every year, they also send her a lot of Jiangzhou specialties.

It turned out that the supplies were for her brother's shop. She had to thank her brother on Yao Yao's behalf.

Clutching Mu Yunji's hand, she said, "Big brother, you're helping Yaoyao because of me, right? Thank you!"

Yao Yao didn't want her family's affairs to affect her, so she refused her help every time, and even disappeared with several children for quite some time.

Fortunately, Old Madam Cui let it slip, and that's how she found out that her friend had actually come to Jiangzhou.

I didn't quite understand at first.

I only learned the truth after we exchanged letters.

Mu Yunji gave an awkward laugh, "I...I didn't know anything about it, it was all just a coincidence..."

If Qingyao knew, she would definitely feel disgusted.

If she hadn't been unhappy and her family hadn't suffered such a great calamity, he would never have bothered her in his life.

Manager Jin, shamelessly explaining, "Second Miss, the Duke truly knew nothing about it. It's quite a coincidence that it was Madam Lu who first approached me about selling bamboo shoots, which led to the continuous cooperation that followed. She supplies our Yipinju not only with bamboo shoots, but also with bamboo fungus, mushrooms, rice, and even recipes..."

"There is a capable person in her household who has developed many new dishes for Yipinju. With good ingredients and constantly new dishes, Yipinju has become better. It is a mutually beneficial thing, and there is no question of one helping the other."

“Yes, that’s right, that’s right. Little sister, don’t tell anyone that I’m the owner of Yipinju.” Mu Yunji nodded in agreement.

It seems that inviting Jin Su to Jiangzhou was the right decision; this man's mouth is worth ten mouths.

He was so worried that he couldn't eat properly, and his food tasted bland.

What a pity about those bamboo shoots...

"I understand! Big brother, I understand. Qingyao is afraid of implicating us and has been refusing to accept help. I won't tell anyone." Mu Jiangyue looked like she understood perfectly.

She also instructed her husband and Mu Qianxue not to let it slip.

Suddenly, her eyes lit up, and she looked at Mu Yunji expectantly, "Big brother, now that we know it's Yao Yao, you should help her more. How about... how about giving her some dividends every year?"

Mu Yunji's face flushed red and then turned pale, making Manager Jin want to laugh.

He said awkwardly, "I'm thinking the same thing... but you'll have to keep your mouth shut."

Mu Jiangyue nodded obediently.

She tugged at her older brother's arm and said sweetly, "Of course, I knew you loved your little sister the most, you would definitely help Qingyao."

Hearing her say that, Mu Yunji felt a little relieved.

Luckily, I didn't think to stay indoors.

But Yan Huan's brows twitched as he watched.

When did his wife become so gentle and soft-spoken? At home, she's like a tigress.

Then Mu Jiangyue rolled her eyes at her.

Mu Jiangxue took the accounts from her sister and looked at them, and was also very surprised.

What surprised her even more was that the street where Yipinju was located was full of restaurants, inns and hotels, and business was still booming, without affecting Yipinju in the slightest.

"Manager Jin, why is it that all the other restaurants on this street have managed to steal Yipinju's business?"

Manager Jin smiled and said, "Reporting to the Third Miss, this street is called Sprinkled Gold Street. Actually, all the shops on this street have been bought by Yipinju. These restaurants, inns, and hotels are all renting our shops, and they all use our ingredients. Each one has its own unique characteristics and is different from the others..."

Mu Jiangyue and her siblings all stared wide-eyed.

Even Mu Yunji was unaware of this matter, since he didn't get involved.

Mu Qianxue asked curiously, "Then aren't the restaurants in other parts of Jiangzhou doing very poorly?"

Manager Jin shook his head, "That's not the case. Nowadays, Sajin Street in Jiangzhou is a well-known food street, gathering most of the restaurants and taverns in Jiangzhou. Restaurants from other places can also move here to rent shops. They are not bound by any rules, and they provide shops of all sizes. This street has become the most bustling area in Jiangzhou..."

Mu Qianxue nodded, completely stunned. "As a result, the restaurants and taverns are doing even better business than before. With them doing well, Yipinju is naturally making a fortune every day..."

"That's absolutely right." Manager Jin's face was stiff with a forced smile.

It must be said that Madam Lu and her clever daughter are truly business geniuses.

The little girl said, "Mommy, could you gather all the delicious food from Jiangzhou on Sajin Street? Miaomiao's feet hurt from running around trying to eat..."

Then, Yipinju had more of these transactions.
