Happiness System

"Brother Yuanzhi, I finally got you here!"

"Brother Ziheng, you are still as charming as ever!"

Mu Jingheng and Ning Liancheng both punched, and then laughed out loud together.

Ning Liancheng was crazy for a while before he introduced the two parties.

The woman he brought was indeed his new wife. After confirming that he would take part in this year's autumn examination, both families began to make preparations.

Ning Liancheng was careless and didn't notice it.

Families like theirs hold banquets of all sizes almost every month, and as the autumn examination was approaching, his family would probably not use him to entertain guests, so Ning Liancheng ignored it with a clear conscience.

Until the last exam.

He had just returned home and was about to greet his grandparents and his father and mother, and then go back to his bedroom to sleep.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he got off the carriage, he was dragged back to his room by the servants waiting on the side and was scrubbed and washed all day long.

When he came to his senses, he was already wearing wedding clothes and riding a tall horse on the way to pick up the bride.

He was the last one to know about his marriage, which is outrageous!

Mu Jingheng teased him a few times, and they all knew that although he disliked her in his mouth, he still liked this wife who had waited for him for several years.

Ning Liancheng was very unreliable in his early years, and his mother took a long time to choose the woman in front of him, who was beautiful, strong-willed and capable.

Originally, after the engagement three years ago, the two families discussed going to a master to arrange a wedding date, but Ning Liancheng ran away upon hearing the news.

It’s not that he disliked his fiancée. If he really didn’t like this marriage, he wouldn’t have been able to decide. But when he thought about being controlled by his wife and losing his freedom early after marriage, he ran away in fear!

Fortunately, although Ning Liancheng is a bit of a mess, he still knows his limits.

When he arrived in Mo Nan City, he collected a lot of interesting things and asked people to send them back to his mother and fiancée. He also sent a lot of letters and gifts, which not only pleased his mother but also saved the face of his fiancée.

After learning that Mu Jingheng made money by drawing jewelry patterns, he even asked Mu Jingheng for some advice, drew some patterns himself, asked the craftsmen to make them, and sent them back to Kyoto for his mother and fiancée...

It was at this time that Qin Yunxi truly showed the demeanor of a girl from an aristocratic family. Unlike her, who was born in a wild family and later received short-term training, Madam Ning's every move showed her nobility.

Moreover, he has high emotional intelligence and did not look down on Xu Tong and Zhong Lin.

Perhaps because she knew that her husband and Qin Yunxi had a business partnership, she became closer to Qin Yunxi.

Knowing that the Mu family had just arrived in Kyoto and had not yet settled their things, Ning Liancheng and his wife did not stay for lunch. Madam Ning also made an appointment with Qin Yunxi to go to the theater the day after tomorrow.

It was three days later that I saw Nanny Li again.

She is a flexible person. When she becomes a newcomer, the couple will naturally be in great harmony.

Her young master was not in Kyoto, so she would naturally make many inquiries and keep an eye on the future young lady openly and secretly. She naturally believed in her own lady's vision. The Bai family wanted a good girl, so weren't they afraid that someone would steal her away?

Now I understand even more the future young lady's strength and decisive methods, and I have to consider the future more.

She was not like other old women who were so depressed. No matter how much she acted like a half-master and how deep her relationship with the young master was, she was still just a servant after all.

Perhaps he had already tested it in his heart thousands of times. After the young lady came into the family, many things became more logical, and giving up the power in the courtyard was not as difficult as he thought.

After handing over the affairs of the inner courtyard to the young lady, Nanny Li focused on Ning Liancheng's private property.

She has already thought it through. If the young mistress becomes more powerful and wants to take over even the young master's private property, she will go to an orphanage to adopt a son and a daughter, and stay in her own small courtyard to raise the children and take care of herself in her old age.

Yes, although Nanny Li was just a servant, her indenture had actually been cancelled by the government long ago. She was now a good citizen and had her own private property.

She received a lot of rewards from her master on a daily basis in the Ning Mansion. She helped Ning Liancheng manage his private property, and the profits were good, so Ning Liancheng also gave her a lot of rewards.

All added up, his wealth is just as much as Qin Yunxi's family.

Qin Yunxi saw her in the rouge shop.

As soon as they arrived in Kyoto, some of the people at home who had originally planned to continue running shops could no longer sit still, so they asked the steward to help them find some places.

So, after watching it once, they still couldn't make up their mind, so they asked Qin Yunxi to go and watch it again.

After walking around for a while, Qin Yunxi had not yet decided on a shop. She saw a rouge shop called "Yunyan" that she and Ning Liancheng had opened in partnership, and she walked in unconsciously.

Nanny Li happened to come to inspect the shop. As soon as she entered, she found Qin Yunxi pretending to be a customer, and playfully stood behind Qin Yunxi to scare her.

It was the first time that Qin Yunxi saw such a lively Nanny Li, and she was really surprised.

Nanny Li just smiled and took Qin Yunxi to the inner room.

As soon as the door was closed, Nanny Li seemed like a different person again, urging Qin Yunxi to come up with some ideas for new products. They had to make some money during the New Year!

Qin Yunxi was a little confused about the transformation from an old housewife to a career woman, but she did have a few prescriptions in her hands, so she could use them to deal with the situation.

Nanny Li was smiling from ear to ear while holding the prescription. When she heard Qin Yunxi say that she still had some money and wanted to fill in the amount of the house payment, Nanny Li just waved her hand and told her to go and do it herself, and she would send someone to go to the Mu Mansion to get it tomorrow.

Throw it away after use, the capitalists' true face is exposed!

Qin Yunxi sighed and left with his people. Yin Bao and the others should have almost finished their discussion and the store should be settled.

The young manager brought them out today, so there was no need to worry about any disputes in the store. All they needed to consider were the size, location and rent of the store.

Yinbao considered everything. He was afraid that someone else would come and take advantage of his success. He intended to buy the shop, but he still owed half of all the money he had earned in the previous three years.

He had inspected the market two days ago and felt that most of the braised meats were not as good as his, especially since he wanted to do business with dignitaries, so he did not consider the shops in the South City and the North City.

West City is too far away, and good shops in East City are expensive and hard to find!

If they hesitated for one more day, the shop might have changed hands tomorrow. According to the price of the shop, he felt that Qin Yunxi and his wife would be in debt after buying the house. What's more, his favorite shop was only for sale and not for rent, so he was really hesitant for a moment.

When Qin Yunxi saw Nanny Li find them, she noticed Yinbao's embarrassment and asked him the reason. In the end, she lent the money to Yinbao. She was afraid that there would be too many interests involved in the future and she didn't want to take up too much share in the braised meat shop.

The families of Cao Yu and Li Hua originally wanted to find a house and move out as soon as possible, but the Ning family had many disciples, and as soon as they arrived in Beijing, Ning Liancheng took them to various poetry gatherings to make all kinds of connections.

It was not until half a month later that, with the help of the steward, they found a suitable house and moved out.

Instead, Zhong Lin and Wan Fangfang's shops opened first. They were looking for a shop together with Yin Bao. They couldn't afford the rent of a shop in the inner city, and most of the nobles didn't like the food they bought, so it wasn't cost-effective to open a shop in the inner city. In the end, although the location they chose was also in East City, it was already close to the outer circle.

Madam Ning, at the request of her husband, would often take Qin Yunxi to various banquets. Zhong Lin and Wan Fangfang went with them a few times and found that although they were also wives of successful candidates in the imperial examination, they really could not fit in at those occasions.

It was also the first time that they intuitively discovered the difference between themselves and Qin Yunxi. After that, they declined those banquets and focused on running the shop. After all, Madam Ning invited them only for Qin Yunxi's sake, so no one would care if they were missing.

After that, the two families moved out of the Mu Mansion. As Li Hua had expected, they did not share the rent together, and they did not even live in the same alley. Fortunately, they were only separated by an alley.

The Cao family rented a small courtyard with two entrances, and bought a maid and a servant girl as Zhong Lin suggested; the Li family rented a small courtyard with one entrance, and Wan Fangfang gritted her teeth and bought a maid to take care of the children, and also hired a maid to do odd jobs.

And Yinbao's braised meat shop finally gave him the opportunity to show his talents!

The braised meat shop in Kyoto is more than twice as big as the one in Mo Nan, and the secret roast chicken and roast duck are finally having their moment of fame.

After receiving Nanny Li's teachings, Yin Bao made up his mind and asked Qin Yunxi to borrow some money to hire a few people. After he made them familiar with him, he was finally freed from the kitchen in addition to mastering the secret recipe. From then on, he was called Shopkeeper Qin.

Knowing that Kyoto people like mutton in winter, he specially prepared a mutton recipe that suits the appetite of Kyoto people.

Inspired by this, Qin Yunxi set up a mutton hotpot at home, and later opened a hotpot restaurant with Madam Ning.

In a blink of an eye, it was already the time before the Spring Examination. During this period, in order to guard against villains, Mu Jingheng began to stay indoors, and Qin Yunxi also turned down all social interactions, big or small, and focused on accompanying him in his studies.

But there are some banquets that you can’t just not attend if you don’t want to, such as the Peach Blossom Banquet hosted by Princess Xining this time.

The reason for inviting Qin Yunxi was very simple, that was because he was attracted by Qin Yunxi's design!

After coming to Kyoto, Mu Jingheng and Qin Yunxi did not stop designing jewelry patterns. Originally, they only planned to use them for themselves or as gifts. Later, with the introduction of Madam Ning, they cooperated with the silver shop opened by her mother's family, but not many people knew about it.

Of course, this could not be hidden from the powerful and wealthy, and this attracted the Princess Xining!

With Qin Yunxi's current status, she could not afford to attend such a banquet, so there were more people who had gone through great pains to use connections to squeeze in and disliked her.

Although she was of low status, she was protected by the Ning family. She was just a little worried. Those other sarcastic remarks were nothing. On the contrary, she enjoyed watching those people who were jealous of her and hated her but couldn't get rid of her.

But being too high-profile and arrogant often leads to retaliation, and then trouble comes.

"I thought she was some powerful and seductive woman, but she's nothing special! She's just a poor and humble wife of a scholar, and she really dares to think she's someone important? What's the matter? She boasted too much, and was despised by the noble and left on the bench. She's ready to hide here and cry, haha, it's so funny..."

Qin Yunxi was helpless. She drew a few patterns on the spot at the request of the nobleman. Although the nobleman did not show them to everyone, anyone with eyes could see the satisfaction in his eyes.

She just didn't have good literary talent, and was afraid that the noble ladies would ask her to recite poems and compose couplets later, so she was afraid of being embarrassed and came out to hide away. It happened to be a little windy and chilly, so she asked her maid to get a cloak. How did she meet this madman who bites everyone he sees?

After sighing in her heart, she said with a fake smile, "Madam, why are you here too? Are you also sitting on the bench and want to find a secluded place to cry?"

This?

Qin Yunxi was right. This pure love warrior who had married down entered the banquet with the help of her natal family but no one paid any attention to her and she was even ridiculed. Her sister-in-law did not protect her either. She was too embarrassed to leave in anger, so she thought of finding a deserted place to vent her anger on the maid.

Now that he met Qin Yunxi, the person he used as a punching bag naturally changed.

Unfortunately, Qin Yunxi is not a soft persimmon either.

"Ah... who do you think you are! How dare you teach me a lesson?"

Seeing Qin Yunxi's half-smile, the pure love warrior became furious and impulsively rushed over and pushed Qin Yunxi hard.

Qin Yunxi was standing on the viewing platform at this time, and there was no guardrail at this location!

Qin Yunxi fell into the icy lake with a scream. She accidentally drank a mouthful of water and was suffocated. Then she suddenly lost consciousness.
