After asking this question, Shen Yanxi realized belatedly that his tone seemed a little inappropriate.

Just as he was about to explain that he had no intention of being unhappy, Jiang Suining had already spoken.

"of course."

Those two words were decisive, without the slightest hesitation, flattery or politeness, and were so clear and crisp that it seemed as if they were just stating a fact.

Shen Yanxi's heart moved. Does Jiang Suining trust him so much?

A smile suddenly emerged in my heart, like a spring breeze blowing on my face, making my body and mind happy.

Shen Yanxi nodded and smiled, "Okay, I'll try my best."

Jiang Suining looked at Shen Yanxi's smile, but felt a little strange.

The other party must have heard such words countless times. According to Shen Yanxi's personality, his reaction should be very calm.

But after thinking about it, Jiang Suining understood.

Although Shen Yanxi is well-known for his talent, he doesn't know the result like himself, so he may still be nervous.

In this case, the confidence of an outsider like himself, who can't even be considered a friend, may give him more confidence than someone close to him.

Thinking of this, Jiang Suining smiled and added, "Mr. Shen will definitely pass the imperial examination."

When Shen Yanxi heard this repeated affirmation, the smile in his eyes deepened, "Thank you."

Outside the Prince of Chu's mansion, the servant waiting beside the carriage saw Shen Yanxi coming out and immediately changed his lazy look.

When the people got closer, the servant lifted the carriage curtain and asked curiously, "Master, what do you want to talk to Miss Jiang about?"

They had just gone to Ning Mo Zhai, and after being told that Miss Jiang was coming to the Chu Palace to attend a banquet, they came to the Chu Palace again. You know, the young master rarely comes to such banquets.

But he followed the young master every day, and he really couldn't think of any important matter that he could ask Miss Jiang for.

Shen Yanxi stopped when he was about to get on the carriage and subconsciously looked towards the Prince of Chu's Palace. Jiang Suining's words "Mr. Shen will definitely be able to pass the imperial examination" appeared in his mind again.

In fact, he couldn't explain why he had to find Jiang Suining today. Thinking about it carefully, it seemed that it was just to hear what he had just said. Or, he just wanted to tell Jiang Suining that he was going to take the imperial examination.

"Master, Master?"

The servant's voice brought Shen Yanxi back to his senses.

"Nothing, just asking you something." Shen Yanxi retracted his gaze, walked into the carriage, and said nothing more.

In the Prince Chu's Mansion, as the banquet came to an end, everyone gradually dispersed, and Jiang Suining also said goodbye to Chu Jingyue.

Although many people came to the banquet today, Chu Jingyue didn't see anyone she liked. Moreover, she was very angry when she met her aunt.

According to Chu Jingyue, her aunt came here today to arrange a marriage for her, and the marriage partner was her husband's nephew. The other party was a well-known playboy, so Chu Jingyue naturally could not agree to it, and they ended up parting on bad terms.

After Jiang Suining calmed Chu Jingyue down, he left the Prince Chu's Mansion.

But before the carriage had gone far, Biyun gestured to Jiang Suining to look at the street on the right through the opened curtain.

"Miss, please look at that person, is he Han Nian'an?"

The carriage stopped at the intersection. Jiang Suining followed the line of sight and saw a furtive figure standing next to a stall in front. Although he hadn't seen him for more than a year, his appearance had changed a little. Who else could it be but Han Nian'an?

"Miss, what is she doing? Why is she acting so sneaky?" Biyun asked in confusion.

Jiang Suining looked in the direction Han Nian'an was looking and found that she was staring at a restaurant not far away, and a carriage was parked outside the restaurant.

That was the carriage of the Marquis of Changning’s Mansion.

Could it be that Han Nian'an was staring at Zhou Yihong?

According to the previous life, it is not yet time for Zhou Yihong's mother to choose a wife for him, and there should not be any signs of this matter yet. Han Nian'an is staring at Zhou Yihong at this time. Is he worried that something might go wrong, so he is paying attention in advance?

Zhou Yihong walked out of the restaurant, and the waiter following him was holding a food box in his hand.

Jiang Suining thought about it and felt that the cakes that Zhou Yihong's mother loved seemed to be unique to this restaurant, so it was not surprising that Zhou Yihong brought some cakes back with him.

On the other hand, when Han Nian'an saw Zhou Yihong coming out, he immediately hid behind the stall again.

"Let's go, no need to worry about it." Jiang Suining lowered the curtain.

Although Han Mingzhang put a lot of effort in the past year or so, he only managed to be promoted from the seventh rank to the sixth rank, which is almost negligible.

Perhaps Han Nian'an realized that many things might not develop along the same trajectory as in his previous life, so he began to think of ways.

However, Han Nian'an had been under house arrest before, and now he can come out, it seems that the relationship between him and Han Mingzhang has eased.

"Miss, it's still early. Do you want to go to Ningyue Pavilion? You haven't been there for a long time."

"No need. I'm confident that you will be in charge of Ningyue Pavilion." Jiang Suining shook his head and looked at Biyun. "Biyun, are you willing to be the manager of Ningyue Pavilion?"

"Become a shopkeeper?" Biyun was stunned. "Miss, what you mean is..."

"I want to hand over Ningyue Pavilion to you completely."

"No, no, miss, I can't do it." Biyun shook her head quickly.

"From the opening of Ningyue Pavilion to now, you have been by my side and have participated in every step. I also take you with me when I encounter problems. Now you are very clear about all aspects. Why can't you do it?"

"But I am just a servant bought by the Jiang family. How can I manage a shop?"

Now that she is with the young lady, she can receive two monthly salaries and also get rewards during festivals. She is already very satisfied with this and has never thought about becoming a shop owner.

"I have already asked my mother to get your indenture contract back. I will return it to you when I get back, Biyun..." Jiang Suining looked at her seriously, "You are careful and conscientious in your work. You remember the habits, personalities, and quirks of each of the noble ladies who patronize Ningyue Pavilion on a daily basis. I am relieved to leave Ningyue Pavilion to you."

"Can……"

"Besides, you've always said that you think I'm too tired. If that's the case, you can help me, your young lady, share the burden."

Ningyue Pavilion was the first shop, and by now, everything had almost completely stabilized. From the beginning, she had always kept Biyun by her side, explaining many things to her one by one, and teaching her bit by bit, all for now.

It's impossible for her to manage every shop all the time.

Ningyu Manor is not complicated to manage, so there will generally be no mistakes if it is temporarily handed over to the current person in charge.

She is still selecting people for Ningxiuguan and Ningjinfang. Ningmozhai has connections with the imperial court, so she can feel more at ease if she keeps an eye on it herself.

And Ningyue Pavilion...

After all, the people she was dealing with were all noble ladies, and she was not at ease to hand over the matter to other people. However, Biyun was taught by her personally, and she saw Biyun's progress clearly over the past year or so. It was time to give her a try and let her take charge on her own.

"But Miss, the Jiang family has so many shopkeepers, and the master also has many capable people under his command. As long as you ask, I believe the master and his wife will definitely arrange something for you..."

"I don't want the Jiang family to be too involved." Jiang Suining interrupted Biyun, "Biyun, I can only feel at ease if I hand over Ningyue Pavilion to you."

She was very grateful to the Jiang family and was willing to treat them as a family. But business was business, and when there were more things involved, there would be more opinions and more shackles. In the end, they were all mixed up in a sticky mess, which she really didn't like.

Biyun stared at her mistress in a daze, "Miss, do you really trust me so much? Do you think I can do it?"

After hearing Jiang Suining's affirmative answer, Biyun's eyes reddened and for a moment she couldn't tell whether she was nervous or excited.

She Biyun nodded heavily, "Okay, Miss, I will try my best!"

Jiang Suining smiled and said, "Then starting from this month, your monthly salary will be based on the amount of the shopkeeper. Congratulations, Shopkeeper Biyun."

On the other side, Han Nian'an, who had quietly followed Zhou Yihong, returned to the Han family and happened to meet Han Mingzhang who was returning home outside the door...
