Chapter 316 Returning to Old Habits
"It's nothing. I just think that Consort Jing must be very capable. She has enjoyed the Emperor's favor for many years, and her family is also very reliable. I think she could become a Noble Consort or Imperial Noble Consort in the future."
Jiang Zhi was focused on his own affairs and didn't care about other people's business at all. He didn't know why Jiang Mi said those words. It was something that had nothing to do with their family, but since Jiang Mi brought it up, she must have her reasons.
In addition, now that they know Huo Ran, if Jiang Mi and Huo Ran really get together in the future, they will probably have to deal with those important people. It wouldn't hurt to get to know them earlier.
"If you're interested, I'll keep an eye out for her and ask around. But we men rarely talk about these things. You could chat with the eunuchs, though. As for what position she'll hold in the future, none of us know."
Jiang Zhi is right. Jiang Mi is thinking too far ahead. Right now, her most important thing and goal is to take good care of her business and be with Huo Ran.
"That's true. I'm just worried that if we don't provoke others, they'll provoke us instead. Forget it, let's not think about that for now."
As soon as Jiang Mi and Jiang Zhi returned home, their mother and Jiang Cheng asked worriedly, "Honey, have you resolved things at your shop? We're in another city now and don't know the people here. Don't be too absolute in anything you do. Leave yourself some options so we can have a way out."
Jiang's mother is right. Even though they have never been out of town, they still have a very thorough understanding of certain principles.
"Mother, I know. It's all resolved now. I'm planning to start researching wines. We can sell the peach blossom wine we had before, and then make some other flavors."
At this point, Jiang Mi noticed that the system hadn't spoken for a long time, and she didn't know if she had completed her task or not. She hadn't seen the reward yet. Was it because she hadn't done the task that the system wasn't issuing new tasks anymore?
It feels strange, I'm not used to it.
"It's good that you know. Back in our hometown, you were free to do whatever you wanted. The highest official we had was a county magistrate, but things are different here."
Jiang Mi certainly understood this principle, so she had been very cautious these past few days, not daring to be too flamboyant. However, the things she made were so good that she couldn't hide her brilliance.
After calming her family down, Jiang Mi returned to her room. Fortunately, there were quite a few rooms in the back building, enough for her to study many things.
After Jiang Mi left, Jiang Zhi waited for Jiang Xuan and asked, "Did you already know about Mitang and Huo Ran? You all knew, but you didn't tell me."
Su Yindi said from the side, "We all noticed it, but no one told anyone. This guy has been coming to our house again and again, bringing things and being so nice to us. What do you think he's after? Is it because of you, the newly promoted third-place scholar?"
Su Yindi's words made everyone burst into laughter. Jiang Zhi was embarrassed by what he said and scratched his head: "I was thinking too simply. I always felt that he often came to our house when we were in Hongyang Village. We were neighbors back then, so it's not a problem for him to come often now. Wait, did he have this idea back then?"
Everyone laughed. Seeing everyone laugh, he realized that things weren't so simple. This Huo Ran really had wolfish ambitions!
“So it’s so early… You didn’t even warn me. If I had known, I definitely wouldn’t have let him come to our house so often. I was wondering why he was so generous to our family before. So that’s what it was all about.”
Seeing his angry expression, Jiang Xuan couldn't help but laugh: "Do you think Huo Ran is a bad person, or that his status is bad, or that he's not good enough for our little sister?"
Jiang Zhi said with dissatisfaction, "He is indeed good. As a man, I am willing to praise him as a dragon among men. However, my little sister is naturally the best in my heart. No one is good enough for her. There is no man in this world who is good enough for my little sister. Moreover, Huo Ran has a special identity. What if my little sister suffers grievances with him in the future?"
This is also what everyone is worried about, but now that Jiang Mi seems to have chosen Huo Ran, we can only hope that their sweetheart hasn't made a mistake.
The whole family was worried about Jiang Mi's marriage, but Jiang Mi didn't care about that. She wanted to promote her peach blossom wine in the capital. Having another business meant having another source of security. She didn't know her soap business would be so successful in the capital. Since that was the case, she decided not to rent a shop next time, but to just buy one.
"Good wine needs no bush, so I simply bought a small shop deep in the alley to sell wine and stopped running a restaurant."
Mo Hua asked, puzzled, "But restaurants make more money. Look at the biggest restaurant in the capital. It's always packed with people. It's so lively, and there are many high-ranking officials and nobles there. I feel like they're making money like crazy. With your good mind and skills, Miss, you can definitely do just as well, or even better."
Jiang Mi smiled helplessly: "Do you think business is so easy? My soap is just something new. There's no soap in the capital or even the whole country, so I'm popular because I make it well. But when it comes to alcohol, everyone's taste is different. What I make may not be liked by others."
Siqin pondered for a moment and said, "Miss's idea is quite good. Even if the soap business is good, it doesn't necessarily mean that the restaurant business will be good. Restaurants are not just for drinking, but also for eating. We need a very skilled chef. Not to mention, the food in the restaurant is delicious. I'm already drooling just smelling it outside."
Siqin's words even brought out Mo Hua's drool: "Now that you mention it, it makes sense. I also like the smell of their food; it really is delicious. I knew it even before I tasted it."
Seeing how amusing the two of them were, Jiang Mi couldn't help but laugh: "You two are such gluttons! I'll take you to try it sometime. Why are you looking so pitiful here?"
Mo Hua didn't stand on ceremony with Jiang Mi and quickly curtsied, saying, "Then thank you very much for the treat, Miss."
This girl is getting more and more impolite, but Jiang Mi likes them this way.
