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

That was the first time she saw someone die from heatstroke.

At this time in the previous life, it was extremely hot and the Han family couldn’t buy ice.

There was a servant who was probably dizzy due to heatstroke and accidentally bumped into Han Yueying when passing through the corridor.

Han Yueying was in a bad mood and made the servant kneel down as punishment. The servant begged for mercy but she threatened him that he would be kicked out of the Han family. Finally, the servant had no choice but to kneel down on the corridor.

Although it was not under the scorching sun, the corridor was completely wrapped in heat at noon.

By the time the servant was found, he had already collapsed. He was sweating profusely, but his hands and feet were extremely cold. He never opened his eyes after fainting.

When she heard about the incident, she happened to see the servant's body being carried away. His pale face seemed to be imprinted in her mind all of a sudden.

Later, the heat finally subsided. She asked someone to find out and found out that many people had died in this heat wave, especially street vendors and those who had to work under the scorching sun.

Jiang Suining came back to his senses and looked at Biyun. "Although some people are indeed greedy, not all of them are like that. And if we only suffer some losses, but we can keep those who might have been in trouble alive, even if it's just one or two of them, isn't that a good thing?"

She had already considered this when she was preparing for Ningyue Pavilion.

Although her first thought was to stock up and make a fortune by relying on her knowledge of the weather, the pale face of the servant also appeared in her mind almost at the same time when this thought came up.

She couldn't spread the news of the abnormal weather, or she would be considered a lunatic. And even if someone believed it, these ordinary people still wouldn't have the chance to use the ice.

The rich are feasting and drinking is not just a poem, but a living reality.

No matter losing money or getting into trouble, all she can do is to protect some people within her ability.

After hearing what her young lady said, Biyun couldn't help but look at the people downstairs.

Although she was angry about the words and attitudes of some individuals, if one of these people really died of heat...

Biyun's heart trembled, and the dissatisfaction just now dissipated, "Miss, I am not angry anymore, but since you think so, why don't you just not charge me?"

Two cents can't make up for anything, and it will cause some people to gossip.

"This is very simple." Lin Qingyuan looked at Jiang Suining, "It's business if you take money, and it's charity if you don't take money."

Although there are those who are greedy and never get enough of taking advantage, there are also those who have strong self-esteem and don't want to receive favors for nothing.

These two cents protect the dignity of those people.

but……

"I don't understand. When did you guess that the weather would change? Was it when you started to stockpile ice?"

Jiang Suining lowered his eyes, "I guess so. I once read in a book that the capital of a dynasty suddenly experienced a drop in temperature and snow after the end of summer, but then it suddenly became hot again, killing many people. Some time ago, I saw the weather changing so quickly, and I felt a little uneasy, so I wanted to take a gamble."

"You opened your bookstore at about the same time. If this is your purpose, why did you open a bookstore?"

Wouldn't it be better to just choose a bigger place and open a teahouse? Maybe it can accommodate more people.

"Then we will have no place to read books." A voice suddenly came from behind a shelf.

A man in a green shirt came out and bowed to Jiang Suining.

"Miss Jiang, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to eavesdrop on your conversation, I just happened to be reading here before you came."

"It's okay." Jiang Suining shook his head, "We are the ones who disturbed you."

"Miss Jiang, please don't say that. If it weren't for your righteous act, how could we study peacefully in a place like this in such a hot summer."

"You are too kind, sir. I opened a bookstore because I really wanted one."

Although she wanted to do what she could for these people, it didn't mean that she didn't want to get any benefit from this heat.

Another big event will happen next, and after this event, her Ning Mo Zhai may have a chance.

"In any case, thank you again, Miss Jiang." The man in green followed Jiang Suining in bowing and expressing his gratitude again. He did not continue to disturb Jiang Suining and the others and went to the other side to read a book.

The sun was setting in the west, and although the air was still hot, it was no longer as unbearable as before.

Those who were working in the bookstore had already left, and the scholars also left Ning Mo Zhai one after another.

The man in green also left, but unlike most scholars, he did not go home or return to the inn. Instead, he walked through the alley and came to an old courtyard.

When he pushed open the half-open door and saw the figure in the yard, he was stunned for a moment, then he said in surprise: "Yan Xi? How did you find this place?"

Shen Yanxi was wearing a lavender robe and standing in the yard. When he saw that the person in front of him was fine, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"I heard that someone saw you among the candidates entering the imperial city, so he asked about your residence."

The man in green shirt is called Zhou Zixia, two years older than Shen Yanxi. They were classmates and had a good relationship. Later, the Zhou family fell into decline, and two years ago, Zhou Zixia returned to his hometown with his father.

Zhou Zixia put down the two steamed buns he bought on the way back, asked Shen Yanxi to sit down, and went to pour water.

"Yan Xi, this place is really simple, please don't be disgusted, and there is no tea..."

Without waiting for Zhou Zixia to finish his words, Shen Yanxi took the porcelain bowl from his hand and took a sip.

Zhou Zixia was stunned for a moment, then smiled again. The slight restraint and embarrassment in his expression was also dissipated because of Shen Yanxi's action.

"Yanxi, it shouldn't be easy to find this place, right?"

He didn't have much savings, not enough to support him living in the inn, so he rented this old courtyard. It must have taken a lot of effort to find this place.

"It's really not easy, so..." Shen Yanxi put down the bowl in his hand, "Zhou Zixia, since you are here, why don't you go to the Shen family to find me?"

"It's not that I won't go, I just plan to wait until after the imperial examination. There's still some time before the exam, and if I let you know, it will cause you a lot of trouble."

Yan Xi is fifteen years old this year, but unfortunately according to the rules of their Beiyang Kingdom, one must be at least seventeen years old to take the imperial examination, otherwise he could have taken the examination with Yan Xi this year.

"What you said makes it seem like my coming here today is unnecessary." Shen Yanxi looked at Zhou Zixia, "Do you know that a scholar died of heatstroke in the inn in the north of the city yesterday?"

Zhou Zixia was stunned. "I didn't expect that Miss Jiang was right. Someone actually died of heatstroke."

"Ms. Jiang?" Shen Yanxi raised his eyebrows. "Jiang Suining?"
