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

"Marquis' Mansion?" Han Mingzhang was stunned. "Which Marquis' Mansion?"

"The Marquis of Changning's Mansion, Prince Zhou of the Marquis of Changning's Mansion, he has taken a fancy to my daughter!" Han Nian'an spoke immediately.

"How is this possible? What are you talking about in your sleep in broad daylight?" Han Mingzhang said subconsciously.

I am only a sixth-rank official now, how can I possibly climb up to the Marquis's Mansion? Could it be that Han Nian'an is possessed by a demon? In order to avoid meeting the people of the Gongsun family, he actually said such nonsense.

Faced with Han Mingzhang's denial and suspicion, Han Nian'an completely suppressed the guilt and nervousness in her heart. She knew that since she had said so much, she had to make Han Mingzhang believe her, so that it would be possible to cut off her contact with the Gongsun family.

"Father, it's true. I definitely didn't lie. I met Prince Zhou by chance. I didn't expect that he would treat me like that..."

Han Nian'an lowered his head slightly, looking shy.

"Anyway, father, I am confident that I will be able to marry into the Marquis's Mansion in the future. Compared to the Gongsun Family, isn't the status of the Marquis's heir apparent more glorious?"

Han Mingzhang frowned. "Although the Changning Marquisate is splendid, it is a dignified Marquisate. How could they possibly look down upon you? Moreover, in comparison, the Gongsun family is more reliable. After all, Lord Gongsun is an official in the court and is my father's boss. As long as you marry into the Gongsun family, he will definitely find a way to promote my father. Then..."

"Father!" Han Nian'an gritted his teeth and interrupted Han Mingzhang. There was really no consideration for himself in his words.

Although he cursed Han Mingzhang in his heart, Han Nian'an continued to pretend that he was really thinking about Han Mingzhang on the surface.

"Father, although there is no one serving as an official in the Marquis' Mansion now, as the saying goes, a lean camel is bigger than a horse, and the Crown Prince Zhou will definitely inherit the title in the future. No matter what, his status will definitely be higher than that of the Gongsun family. Father, you have to think about the long-term and must not be blinded by the Gongsun family for a while. And in the final analysis, that Young Master Gongsun is a fool. If you have such a son-in-law, it will not be good for your reputation if it gets out."

Even if the Gongsun family could provide more help, what did it have to do with her? She would never accept marrying a fool.

Han Mingzhang thought about Han Nian'an's words and felt that there was some truth in them.

The Changning Marquisate is a noble family with a long history. If we can really become relatives of them, it would be stronger than the Gongsun family if we think about it carefully.

only……

"Nian'an, it's still the same question. How could the Marquis' Mansion possibly look down upon our family?"

You know, even for the Gongsun family, if it weren't for the situation of their second son, it wouldn't be their turn to seek marriage.

"Father, Prince Zhou likes his daughter. He won't mind our low status. After all, it's him who is getting married. As long as he insists, no one can stop him." Han Nian'an's tone was full of confidence.

After all, didn't Jiang Suining also marry into the family in the previous life? Since Jiang Suining could do it, why couldn't she?

Although Han Mingzhang's official position is a little low now, as long as he can completely control Zhou Yihong, there will be no problem.

Seeing Han Nian'an's confident look, Han Mingzhang couldn't help but feel excited.

"Nian'an, if you can really marry into the Marquis' Mansion, it will be a great thing for our Han family. But..." Han Mingzhang changed the subject and spoke cautiously, "You have to prove to your father first that Prince Zhou is indeed interested in you."

After all, these are just Nian An's one-sided words. What if the Marquis' Mansion does not have this intention, and the Gongsun family is also cut off? Then wouldn't it be a waste of time and he would be stuck in the middle of nowhere.

Han Nian'an's smile froze for a moment, but when he met Han Mingzhang's gaze, it quickly turned into firmness.

"Father, don't worry. I will prove it to you. But as for the Gongsun family..." Han Nian'an sighed, "I am afraid that if I go to see them and the news gets to Prince Zhou, he will misunderstand me and won't want to have any contact with me anymore."

Han Mingzhang was silent for a moment, and finally spoke: "I will find a way to delay the Gongsun family, you hurry up, if the Zhou prince is really willing to marry you, then I will find a way to refuse the Gongsun family, or... marry someone else."

"Yes, daughter understands, thank you father." Han Nian'an responded.

While the two were daydreaming, on the other side, Jiang Suining, who had returned to the Jiang family, was listening to Biyun report about the new dishes launched by Jinfeng Tower.

"Miss, I just heard about it when I came back. Not only is the layout of Jinfeng Tower modeled after ours, but now even the dishes are exactly the same. It's so infuriating!" Biyun said with an annoyed look on her face.

Not only that, they even advertised it on a large scale, saying that their dishes were guaranteed to taste better and cheaper, and they were just short of saying that they were deliberately trying to compete with Ningxiu Restaurant.

Xier stood there with her head down, not daring to breathe.

"Calm down. Even if they say the dishes taste the same, it doesn't necessarily mean they are the same." Jiang Suining consoled with a smile.

"Sister, you are really wrong this time." Jiang Mushi hurried in from outside. "Before going home, I went to Jinfeng Tower and tried some dishes. The taste is really the same."

The smile on Jiang Suining's face froze for a moment, "Are you sure?"

"Sure." Jiang Mushi nodded. "Sister, didn't you say that the dishes at Ningxiu Restaurant were all developed by the chefs after a lot of effort? Even if it's the same dish, the taste is different from other places. How could Jinfenglou learn it so easily?"

A few days ago, Jinfenglou's business was average, but today the publicity was sufficient and the food tasted really good, so when I went there myself, there were obviously a lot more customers at Jinfenglou than usual.

Although business was booming on the first day Jinfeng Tower opened, he felt that this time was different from before. If it continued like this, he was afraid that the business would really be snatched away.

The smile on Jiang Suining's face faded. "It shouldn't be like this. Could it be that there is a spy in the kitchen of Ningxiu Restaurant who leaked the recipe of the dish?"

"If that's the case, then we really have to investigate it carefully. Judging from Zheng Yan'er's behavior, it is really possible that she paid money to bribe the cook and did these shameful things behind the scenes!" Jiang Mushi frowned.

Xier didn't say a word from beginning to end, but just tried to reduce her presence as much as possible. When she was sure that Jiang Suining and the others had not suspected her, she felt a little relieved.

But looking at the frowning faces of Jiang Suining and Jiang Mushi, he couldn't help feeling a little guilty.

At nightfall, she secretly met with Zheng Yan'er again.

"How about it? When Jiang Suining and the others heard the news today, were they furious?" Zheng Yan'er's face was full of pride.

The recipe was not stolen in vain. Today, many customers are praising the dishes of Jinfenglou, and they will definitely become repeat customers.

The only drawback is that the cost of the dishes is too high, and the current pricing is 10% lower than Ningxiu Restaurant. Although today's bills have not been calculated in detail, if the wages of the waiters are added, I'm afraid it will be a loss-making business!

Xier looked at Zheng Yaner and nodded slightly, "It is true that they are very angry, especially the young master."

Hearing this, Zheng Yan'er smiled even more happily, "Okay, very good!"

If you think about it this way, even if you lose a little money, it's worth it.

Zheng Yan'er looked at Xi'er, and the next moment, she took out a paper bag from her sleeve and handed it to her...
