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

Jiang Suining drank tea calmly, "She doesn't consider me as a family member. As for my mother, since she has already chosen a place, I think she should have been convinced."

"Miss, do you want to tell the master about this matter and let him persuade the lady?" Biyun said.

In fact, she had always thought that the lady was very good to the young lady, but since the cousin came, she gradually felt that the lady was too protective of the cousin.

"No need for that. Father will know about it sooner or later. Since Zheng Yan'er wants to open it, let her do it."

"Aren't you afraid that she will steal your business?" Chu Jingyue asked playfully.

Jiang Suining said slowly: "That would require her to have the ability to do so."

It would be fine if Zheng Yan'er just opened an ordinary restaurant, but if she wanted to compete with me, five thousand taels of silver might not be enough for her.

Chu Jingyue smiled even more, "I just like the way you are always confident no matter what happens."

"Your Highness, I am too kind. After all, I have your support." Jiang Suining joked with a smile.

"That's right. This princess said she would support you, and she will definitely keep her word, but..." Chu Jingyue looked at Jiang Suining, "You have to promise me one thing."

"You want me to go to the Chu Palace to attend the banquet again?"

She had already heard that the Prince of Chu's palace would hold a banquet in two days.

"That's right!" Chu Jingyue nodded. "You said before that the shop was busy. I've already refused twice. You can't refuse again this time. And there are many people going this time, not only women but also young masters from aristocratic families. Doesn't Ningyue Pavilion want to expand its business and no longer just make women's clothes? This is a good opportunity for publicity."

"And the young master of a noble family, could it be that this banquet was invited in the name of the prince?"

If that's the case... then it's not just an ordinary banquet.

"It seems that the prince and princess are really worried about your marriage." Jiang Suining looked at Chu Jingyue with a smile.

"I knew I couldn't hide it from you." Chu Jingyue put down the teacup and sighed, "From the time I came of age to now, they have been getting more and more anxious. This banquet is actually for the purpose of selecting someone. So you must go this time. If my parents choose someone and I don't like them, you can help me find faults and ruin it."

"Then the prince and princess will hate me to death." Jiang Su Ning smiled and shook his head.

"No matter what, just tell me whether you will help me or not!" Chu Jingyue looked at Jiang Suining, showing a look as if he would get angry if the other party didn't agree.

Jiang Suining suppressed his laughter and pretended to be afraid. "Princess Pinghu has already spoken, how dare I not go? What if...if you meet someone you like, I can help you put in a good word."

"Don't tease me!" Chu Jingyue blushed.

"How dare I, my Lord Princess."

"You still said that!"

"Okay, okay, I was wrong. Don't worry, I will be there on time."

Two days later, Jiang Suining arranged things in the shop and took Biyun to the Prince Chu's Mansion.

After Chu Jingyue met the people, he first arranged for Biyun to go to the place where servants and maids waited to rest, and then took Jiang Suining to pay a visit to the Princess of Chu.

"Sui Ning greets the princess." Jiang Sui Ning bowed and saluted.

"Miss Jiang, you're welcome. You're Jingyue's friend. Since you're here today, you can help take a look."

The Princess of Chu smiled kindly. When she first learned that her daughter was friends with the daughter of a merchant, she was a little worried.

But later, after hearing more news about Jiang Suining and meeting him several times, the Princess of Chu began to like Jiang Suining more and more.

She has good looks, good temperament, is dignified and well-mannered. If she had not come from a merchant family and her family background was not that good, she would have wanted her to be her daughter-in-law in the future.

"Yes." Jiang Suining responded with a smile without much hesitation.

The Princess of Chu was just being polite. With so many people coming today, she must have other things to do, so there was no need for her to say more and waste time.

Soon, the Princess of Chu left, and Jiang Suining and Chu Jingyue also arrived at the banquet.

The banquet was held in the garden of the Prince of Chu's palace, with pavilions and corridors, and the sound of stringed instruments.

Chu Jingyue took Jiang Suining to stand in a corner of the corridor and quietly introduced everyone in the garden to her.

Jiang Suining knew almost all the wives of officials because of Ningyue Pavilion. As for the young men from aristocratic families, Jiang Suining recognized a few of them based on his memories from his previous life, but he didn't know most of the others.

"The one next to the rockery, the son of the Minister of War. My father took a fancy to him from the beginning, saying that it didn't matter if his family background was a little low, because the Minister of War held real power and was highly regarded by the emperor. Nine out of ten sentences he said were about the Minister of War. I would have thought he wanted me to marry that Minister of War!"

"And the guy next to him, he's from the family of some assistant minister in the Ministry of Revenue. Look how ugly he is, yet he still came to propose marriage."

Jiang Suining followed Chu Jingyue's line of sight and said, "His appearance is indeed a little lacking, but how dare a son of a minister of the Ministry of Revenue come to the palace to propose marriage? What does he rely on?"

"It was said that his sister entered the palace and was given the title of beauty. This made his family very proud. Those who knew about it thought that she entered the palace, while those who didn't thought that she went to heaven and became the Queen Mother."

With a chuckle, Jiang Suining couldn't help laughing out loud.

"I understand. You asked me to come here today not to help you watch over people, but to listen to your scolding."

Chu Jingyue glanced at Jiang Suining and said, "Don't laugh. You're going to be a marriageable girl soon. When you start discussing marriage, you'll know what all kinds of monsters and demons there are."

Jiang Suining shook his head, "I didn't interrupt the marriage discussion."

"Are you not going to get married?" Chu Jingyue was stunned.

"For now, I just want to run the shop well."

Chu Jingyue looked at her and thought for a while. "That's fine, but your parents probably won't agree. I didn't want to get married at first. After all, life after getting married may not be as comfortable as my life in the palace. But my parents are so anxious. Now... I just want to marry someone I like, but I don't know if I can really meet him."

Jiang Suining looked at Chu Jingyue. In her previous life, Chu Jingyue had not married yet. It seemed that a year later, under pressure from her family and various rumors, she married a man named Wei who had passed the imperial examination. However, a year after he entered the government, he was convicted of corruption and bribery, and Chu Jingyue was also implicated.

Finally, under the arrangement of Prince Chu, the couple reconciled and returned home. However, the candidate's family members refused to give in and it was said that they had caused a lot of embarrassment.

"Jingyue, no matter what time it is, there is no need to rush to choose a husband. Even if you really choose one, you must carefully examine the other party's character."

Chu Jingyue was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm two years older than you after all, so you don't have to worry about me."

As the two were talking, a maid came over to report, "Princess, the princess asked you to come over. She said your aunt is here and wants to see you."

"Got it." Chu Jingyue responded and looked at Jiang Suining, "Suining, then you..."

"Go ahead, I'll just walk around here." It would be inappropriate for her, an outsider, to be present when relatives met.

"Okay, I'll come see you later."

Chu Jingyue left. Jiang Suining stood on the corridor, looking at everyone in the garden. After a moment, he retracted his gaze and was about to leave the corridor when he turned around and suddenly saw a familiar face.

He has a tall and straight figure, handsome features, a lake blue robe, a valuable jade ring hanging around his waist, and looks very noble.

Jiang Suining didn't expect to meet Zhou Yihong, her husband from her previous life, here.
