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

Soon, a banquet was held at the Prince of Chu's Mansion, and at Ningyue Pavilion, sachets, round fans and other accessories began to be sold.

In Jiang Suining's estimation, based on the best-case scenario, fifteen people would get places in the end, and who those fifteen people would be was roughly within her expectations.

The result was indeed as expected, all fifteen people were on the list, but in addition to them, there were two more people.

They had never bought clothes in Ningyue Pavilion before, but they were generous enough to pay a deposit of 800 taels just for this spot.

Jiang Suining asked someone about it and found out that the two men didn't get along with Chu Jingyue, so this time they were determined to fight with Chu Jingyue.

Although it was a pleasant surprise, Jiang Suining still had the news delivered to the Prince of Chu's Mansion, informed Chu Jingyue, and asked for her opinion.

Chu Jingyue said that it didn't matter, they were willing to pay the money, and Jiang Suining would just keep it.

"Miss, if Princess Pinghu doesn't agree, do we really have to drive away the guests who came to our door?" Biyun said as she and Jiang Suining sorted and counted the remaining goods.

"Princess Chu did help us this time. It is our attitude to let her know."

"But miss, didn't you send a thank-you gift to Princess Pinghu? And the pattern she finally selected was also sent to us. We also have to make two dresses for her for free." Biyun felt a little distressed when she thought about it.

Not only the materials and the working hours, but also the patterns took the young lady a lot of time and effort, but in the end, she just gave away the favor for nothing.

"Biyun, don't say such things again in the future." Jiang Suining looked at Biyun seriously.

The latter was stunned for a moment, and quickly said: "Miss, don't worry, I will definitely not tell anyone in front of others, especially in front of Princess Pinghu, I will never..."

"No matter who you are in front of, you can't say it anymore." Jiang Suining interrupted Biyun, "Ningyue Pavilion's business has indeed been booming recently and has indeed attracted much attention, but don't forget who helped us open up this situation."

"It's Princess Pinghu." Biyun lowered her head, "I've always remembered it."

"Although it seems that we have given benefits to Princess Chu, the effect of this banquet at Prince Chu's Mansion can be said to have exceeded my best expectations. This is naturally inseparable from the help of Princess Chu, so in fact, we have gained more from Princess Chu."

"Miss, but didn't you also say that holding a banquet is not a difficult task for the Chu Palace?"

"Although hosting a banquet may be a piece of cake for the palace, no matter how difficult or easy it is, as long as you help us, we should not take it for granted."

Jiang Suining frowned slightly, looking serious.

She knew that everyone in Ningyue Pavilion was very happy recently.

But especially at times like this, we should not overestimate ourselves or even take the help of others for granted.

The blazing flowers and the scorching fire are certainly warm and beautiful, but they can also be dazzling.

In a blink of an eye, it is the summer solstice.

After this period of promotion, Ningyue Pavilion’s ten dresses have already attracted much attention.

As early as three days ago, Ningyue Pavilion had already closed its doors and started making preparations.

All the counters and shelves in the lobby have been moved away, including the ready-made clothes that were previously on display.

Instead, there were twenty neatly arranged seats, and in front of the seats was a slightly higher booth.

At each seat, there is a small table with soft pillows, and on the table there are some jasmine branches or some hibiscus flowers, each one is different.

Not far from the seats, a green veil was hung high, blocking out some of the sunlight coming through the window, which was soft and elegant yet lively.

On the low table against the wall, there is a wide white porcelain basin with lotus flowers floating on it, interlacing pink and white.

There was no incense in the hall. Although the flowers placed on each seat were different, the fragrance was all suppressed by the fresh tea aroma, which made people feel relaxed and happy when they smelled it.

"I thought you were just trying your best to gather information, but now it seems that a lot of thought has been put into the layout of Ningyue Pavilion." Lin Qingyuan looked around and spoke.

Although there are no expensive ornaments, just light gauze, white porcelain, fresh flowers and tea fragrance, but at first glance, it is full of summer style, cool and comfortable yet elegant and fresh.

Jiang Suining smiled and said, "After all, the twenty guests who came today spent eight hundred taels of silver on their tickets. We can't let them stand and choose their dresses."

"Twenty? Didn't you say seventeen before?" Jiang Mushi asked, retracting his gaze.

"Three more people were added a few days ago." Jiang Suining was talking when he saw three people coming in from the corner of his eye. He said softly, "Here they are."

Jiang Suining and Biyun went to greet them, "Ms. Wu, Ms. Xu, Ms. Liu, thank you for coming."

As soon as the three of them came in, they were attracted by the layout of the pavilion. There was curiosity in their eyes, and they quickly looked away when they saw Jiang Suining coming over.

"Manager Jiang, do you still remember us?" Liu Yuan, the tea merchant's daughter, looked at Jiang Suining with some surprise.

"Of course I remember." Jiang Suining responded with a smile, "Please come in, three of you."

Liu Yuan and the others followed Jiang Suining's instructions and looked at the empty seats, but no one stepped forward immediately.

The three of them were all born into merchant families. Because there had been so much discussion about Ningyue Pavilion recently, they couldn't resist their curiosity and spent money to come and take a look.

But they only found out two days ago that almost all the other people coming today were ladies of officials and nobles, and even descendants of the royal family.

Although their family had money, they were still inferior to those noble ladies.

This seat...

Seeing what they were thinking, Jiang Suining said, "We don't have any designated seats today. You can choose them in the order of arrival. So the three ladies can choose the seats they want without worrying too much."

"Really?" Liu Yuan looked at Jiang Suining.

The latter nodded, "Really, three ladies please."

After Jiang Suining said this, the three of them chose their seats and started to sit down.

After they sat down, they were soon served tea and snacks. The three were surprised to find that the snacks and tea given to them were not exactly the same, but were tailored to their respective tastes.

I thought it was just a coincidence, but not long after, other people arrived one after another, and snacks were prepared according to everyone's preferences.

"I love Longjing tea and osmanthus cake the most. Shopkeeper Jiang is really thoughtful."

"Mine too. This Biluochun with lotus cake really suits my taste."

"As long as the ladies are satisfied." Jiang Suining chuckled, "There are various refreshments in the backyard. If you want to change anything, just tell the maid."

Jiang Mushi was already standing in the corner watching, and couldn't help but ask, "How did you know the tastes of so many people?"

"Of course it was me." Lin Qingyuan said with pride, "It took me a lot of effort and energy."

Jiang Mushi gave Lin Qingyuan a thumbs up and said, "You are awesome."

Lin Qingdian raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Thank you for the compliment. Of course, the money was paid by your sister."

He had asked Jiang Suining before if it was really necessary to spend so much effort. After all, these ladies came for the clothes and might not pay much attention to the snacks.

But Jiang Suining said that only by being careful in every detail can they feel that the money is worth spending, and from today onwards, when they talk about these snacks with other people, they will also talk about these details.

Lin Qingyuan secretly observed those noble ladies, and it seemed that Jiang Suining was right.

Soon, all twenty guests arrived.

When Chu Jingyue sat down, he happened to hear the people around him talking about tea and snacks. He picked up the teacup and wanted to see what was in his cup, but he smelled a faint aroma of alcohol.

It turned out to be her favorite mulberry wine.

Chu Jingyue looked at Jiang Suining and met the latter's gaze, and the two smiled at each other.

Everyone is here.

Soon, amid everyone's anticipation, the first dress was moved to the stand...
