Happiness System

Later, Mu Jingheng brought Mu Dong and Mu Nan back. Since he didn't like having people around him, Mu Dong became idle and often went to Yin Bao's braised meat shop to help.

Then Qin Yunxi made a few recipes and asked Mu Jingheng to open a snack shop and let Mu Dong run it.

Wan Fangfang and Zhong Lin were inspired by this and also teamed up to open a shop.

Wan Fangfang is a good cook and often makes food and sends some to the Mu and Cao families.

The most delicious meat buns, with thin skin and fresh meat.

But her specialty is not meat buns, but tofu. The tofu she makes is less astringent and more tender.

But making tofu is hard work, so Li Hua doesn't allow her to do it.

Zhong Lin had money and business knowledge, and Wan Fangfang had skills. The two hit it off and soon opened a shop together.

The shop sells soy milk and buns in the morning, and starts selling tofu and tofu pudding after 9 o'clock.

One of them is in charge of technology and the other one is in charge of accounting. They don't have to work hard and can still take care of the family, so their lives are colorful.

The shop had been open for less than half a year and Li Hua had paid back all the money he had borrowed.

Upon learning that Mu Jingheng would rush to Beijing after advancing in the provincial examination, Cao Yu and Li Hua discussed it and decided to go with him.

This time they will be gone for at least half a year, so they certainly won't abandon their wives and children.

Cao Yu's son is already two years old, and Zhong Lin is pregnant with a baby who is three months old; and Li Hua's wife became pregnant again after she recovered, and her youngest son is now one year old.

Naturally, they were worried about leaving their wives and children in the south of the desert.

Both of them are good-looking and in their prime, so Zhong Lin and Wan Fangfang naturally couldn't let go of their husbands. They were even more afraid that other beautiful women would throw themselves at them, and they were also afraid that their husbands would lose control of themselves.

Although scholars love to have beautiful women around, and officials have to take concubines, they don't expect their husbands to be like Mu Jingheng, but it's better to delay it a day, at least until their children grow up a little.

Moreover, according to Qin Yunxi, if he fails in the imperial examination this time, his family will definitely stay in Kyoto.

If the men of their two families also planned to stay in Kyoto and wait for the next spring exam, then they would be separated for more than three years...

In the end, Zhong Lin made the decision. Follow! She must stay with her husband!

If this shop can be opened in Beijing, they will reopen it. If not, the money they have earned in the past two years is enough for the family to live in Beijing for two or three years.

Although they decided to go to Kyoto together, Zhong Lin and Wan Fangfang were not sure how to arrange the moving.

Zhong Lin has never traveled far.

Wan Fangfang's parents' home and her husband's home are only a day's journey away from Mo Nan. Her husband went back every two or three months. Later, when he brought her and her daughter to Mo Nan, he just packed a few clothes and left.

Upon learning that Mu Jingheng had passed the imperial examination, the two men, who had no idea where to start, became a little panicked.

The two of them gathered together and hurried to the Mu family, fearing that the schedule was too tight to arrange everything.

Seeing that they were seeking advice, Qin Yunxi smiled and said, "Yinbao is planning to transfer the braised meat shop to his uncle. He will ask his uncle for the same price he paid for the shop.

I guess that starting tomorrow, the couple will bring the third son of the Xu family to the shop to learn how to make braised meat. The recipe will definitely not be written down and given to him. How much he can learn depends on his ability.

As for my family's pastry shop and house, my husband said to leave them to you, Mr.

As you all know, given Mr.'s situation, my husband originally planned to provide for him in his old age and see him to the end of his life.

So this time we only brought some valuables with us, and these are to be left for the teacher."

Mu Jingheng's teacher Ke Xinglan was originally a teacher at the Imperial College in Kyoto. Although he was talented, he failed because he was too upright and had a bad temper.

Because of this, he offended someone in Kyoto and nearly lost his life.

Although he was fine in the end, his only son was ill and would probably be plagued by illness in the future.

Out of admiration for his talent, the supervisor of the Imperial College recommended him to the Mo'nan Academy.

Ke Xinglan's only son, Ke Beichen, has a lame leg and will never have the chance to take the imperial examination again.

After coming to Mo Nan City, Ke Xinglan accepted Mu Jingheng as his last disciple, wishing to teach him everything he had learned in his life.

For Mu Jingheng, Ke Xinglan is both a teacher and a father.

Junior fellow apprentice Ke Beichen is in poor health, and his medical expenses have left the Ke family unable to make ends meet.

Ke Xinglan was unwilling to take Mu Jingheng's money, so Qin Yunxi could only send some snacks and meat to the teacher's house every three to five days.

Qin Yunxi and Mrs. Ke got along pretty well. Every month she would take two or three days out to visit the Ke family and chat with Mrs. Ke to relieve her boredom.

Compared to Ke Xinglan's old-fashioned and stubborn personality, Mrs. Ke, Fu Wanrou, is much more open-minded.

After learning that Mu Jingheng was planning to move up after passing the imperial examination, Fu Wanrou openly and covertly reminded Qin Yunxi of the situation in Kyoto, as well as the intricate relationships and taboos among the various families...

Such a good teacher and his wife should naturally be treated with filial piety like parents.

"Told the teacher?"

Seeing Mu Jingheng coming back drunk, Qin Yunxi helped him to the couch.

Just as she was about to go out and ask Mu Dong to prepare some water for him to wash and bathe, Mu Jingheng held her tightly, buried his head in her neck and rubbed it, and said in a slightly hoarse voice: "The teacher said that ten days later is a good day to go out."

In addition to his talent, Ke Xinglan is also an amazing fortune teller.

After passing the imperial examination, they moved to Kyoto, and after becoming a Jinshi, they were sent to other places. This was planned when they first came to Mo Nan.

But at that time they had not yet met teachers and teachers' wives who treated them like their own children.

Seeing Mu Jingheng's reluctant look, Qin Yunxi hesitated. She said, "How about we go to Beijing after the New Year?"

"Forget it, let's just go according to plan. Nanny Li is also your master. We've already made it clear so there's no need to let her down for nothing.

If someone is lucky enough to get in, and if the place they are assigned to is good, we will bring the teachers over.

Madam, please call Mu Dong to come and help me wash up."

Qin Yunxi went out and called Mu Dong to serve Mu Jingheng, and also called Yin Bao out.

In fact, it is not a bad idea for Yinbao to stay in Mo Nan. His shop is doing well, he has married a local wife, and he will become a father next year.

It's always better to stay in Mo Nan than to follow them around.

But Yinbao said that he had his sister and brother-in-law to rely on. If he stayed in Mo Nan, perhaps his life would be like this and he would not have the opportunity to make it bigger and stronger. Didn’t he see that his father-in-law’s family had been running the business for several generations, but now they only had these two grocery stores?

Besides, what would it be like if my brother-in-law didn’t have a capable brother around him?

It would be better for him to go with her than to arrange for some brother from the Mu family to go with her. If he goes with her, he can help keep an eye on his brother-in-law. If someone from the Mu family goes with her, they might secretly arrange some beautiful women for her, so my sister won't have to worry.

What he said made sense, as if Mu Jingheng would immediately become a heartless man without him, so Qin Yunxi had no choice but to let him be.

"We will be leaving for Kyoto in ten days. Have you arranged everything for your braised meat shop? Ah Tong has never left her parents since she was a child. This time she will be like marrying far away. If she is unhappy, you should comfort her and don't be stubborn."

"Sister, you're overthinking. Ah Tong is so happy!

After I learned that my brother-in-law had passed the imperial examination, I had already been to Xu's house. I had also agreed with my father-in-law that I would let my third uncle learn how to make braised meat the next day. My father-in-law had also given me all the money for buying the shop.

Tomorrow I will go and change the deed of the shop, and then teach my third uncle, so that I can spare some time the day after tomorrow. If there is anything at home that needs to be dealt with, you can just send me there."

Yin Bao had already made plans. Although they might only stay in Kyoto for half a year, he still wanted to open another braised meat shop if there was a suitable opportunity.

If the situation there is too complicated and deep, he will go and ask Nanny Li to help him find a job and learn from the managers how to run a business.

At that time, Yinbao's business was going smoothly and his mind was still somewhat simple.

Everyone around here knows that although the Mu family is a poor country scholar from outside the area, they are lucky enough to have hooked up with the young master of the Tongzhi family and the nobleman from Kyoto.

People around them don't dare to trip them up easily, and everything is fair and healthy competition.

Qin Yunxi shook his head and said nothing more. After he fell down and experienced it, he would know why the flowers were so red.

Presumably, Cao Yu and Li Hua went back and told their wives the time to leave for Kyoto, and the next day Zhong Lin and Wan Fangfang both came.

“We rented the shop, and the secret recipe has always been in the hands of Sister Fangfang.

I thought that there was no suitable person to help manage the shop, and if I hired someone I was afraid that the person would learn the secret recipe and not be able to keep it, so I thought of just closing it down.

We will open another one when we get to Beijing. After the Spring Examination, Sister Fangfang and I will still be together, so we can open a shop wherever we go..."

Zhong Lin then asked how to arrange the trip.

"My husband has always been the one who worries about this matter, and I just open my mouth and ask people to pack their bags.

I'm not afraid of you laughing at me when I say this, but my husband had no intention of taking part in the county examination three years ago. It was me who had been living in a daze before, and then suddenly woke up and found that our family was so poor that even a mouse would have to go out empty-handed.

After searching the whole house, he only found two taels of silver, which was something he had casually stuffed into a corner because he didn't value the money. Otherwise, he would have exchanged it for medicine long ago.

I was not feeling well at that time and felt tired after walking a few steps. If I didn't join in the fun, I would have been helping my husband.

The husband signed up in a hurry, and then hurriedly packed his luggage to make travel arrangements.

When we arrived in Qingteng County, it was raining so hard that it seemed like the sky was falling, and we didn't even have money to stay in the inn.

At that time, my two younger brothers had never been out of the house and were very young, so they could not help at all.

I took out the embroidery that was most precious in my box and asked my husband to exchange it for money. He, on the one hand, was worried about my health, and on the other hand, he had to go out in the rain to find a place to settle us...

The men in my family are very considerate and didn't ask me to worry when I came to Mo Nan. I just packed two things that I would need on the road and was only concerned about making myself more comfortable on the road.

You guys, instead of learning from me, why not let your husbands go find Jing Heng? The men should take care of the things outside!"
