d, reaching into her purse for a piece of silver to hand to Old Mrs. Li. 。... Lao Li quickly waved her hand, "No, no need, elder sister..." 。She still had some reservations, but hearing that these pe...Jia's second wife was a bit angry and wanted to complain, but Jia Yin ran down the steps and hugged the young master, shouting happily, "Brother! How did you get here"

Mrs. Wen and Tao Hongying also hurried forward, asking, "Jiaren, why did you rush back"

Jiarren hugged his little sister, the first thing he did was check the back of her head. He even parted her hair and looked at it carefully for a long time before finally letting out a long sigh of relief and replied, "I heard that my sister was injured on the back of her head, I was so anxious that I hurried back to see her."

Tao Hongying and Mrs. Wen were both stunned, then Tao Hongying said with a chuckle, "Don't worry, it's just a small incident that happened when I took Fu Niuer to celebrate a birthday the other day. Fu Niuer almost fell, luckily someone helped her up and she wasn't hurt."

"Where did you hear that It seems to be a false alarm!"

Jia Ren thought for a moment, a little embarrassed, “It was two classmates who told me. Perhaps I was too hasty and didn’t hear them finish before rushing back.”

Tao Hongying shielded her nephew and niece behind her, personally apologizing to Jia's second mistress and Miss Wan'er.

"I apologize, Second Madam. This is my younger brother's eldest son, studying at the Luo'an Academy. Although he has passed the scholar examination, he is still young and his actions lack prudence. He frightened Miss Wan'er just now. I apologize on his behalf!"

This is like the Dragon King's Temple being flooded! We're all family, you know!

"Naturally, Madam Jia wouldn't want to blame her further. She quickly said, 'Madam Li is too polite. It was just a misunderstanding, and Wan'er wasn't hurt. I'll send Wan'er back today, and we can get together again another day.'"

"Okay, come visit often." Tao Hongying personally saw off Jia Erfu and her niece to their carriage.

Jia Yin also quickly had several cream cakes and two boxes of snacks placed in the shop, and loaded onto the Jia family's carriage as an apology.

The other women also brought their little girls and bid farewell one after another.

After everyone returned to the backyard, Madam Liu also arrived by carriage to join in the festivities.

For a moment, the backyard was filled with their own people. Talking about what had just happened, Tao Hongying asked Liu's wife and Wen's wife, "What kind of background is that Miss Wan'er from"

Mrs. Wen saw that Jia Ren seemed a little uncomfortable, and found it amusing. She said, "Lady Jia's family name is Xing. All the elders from her previous generation have passed away. Lady Jia only has one brother who works as a fourth-rank compiler in the Hanlin Academy."

While Lord Xing's official salary wasn't much, his ancestors had left behind a legacy of virtue and prosperity, so his life was comfortable.

"Lord Xing has not taken a concubine, he only has one wife who gave birth to a daughter and a son. Today, this Miss Wan'er is his eldest daughter."

Mrs. Liu also nodded and said, "Our family occasionally interacts with the Xing family. They have fewer people in their household, Mrs. Xing's health isn't good, and I heard that all the household affairs are now managed by their eldest daughter, who is very sensible and thoughtful."

Everyone in the Li family nodded in agreement, unable to help themselves. Though they weren't familiar with the Xing family, just hearing that Mr. Xing hadn't taken a concubine, treated his sick wife well, and raised such an outstanding daughter meant this family couldn't be wrong.

At this moment, not to mention Tao Hongying, even Li Laotai was moved and pressed Jia Yin, "Funiu ah, did you just see this Wan'er girl How does she look Do you like her"

Jia Yin secretly glanced at her older brother. She saw that he had a stern face and pretended not to know that everyone was choosing a wife for him.

She couldn't help being mischievous and playfully said, "Oh no, Grandma, this Miss Wan'er is particularly ugly. I felt uncomfortable the moment I saw her..."

Indeed, Jia Ren looked up at his sister, his expression one of disbelief.

It was just a brief encounter, he wouldn't fall head over heels for a girl just from seeing her once.

But such a dignified, courteous, and considerate young lady, why would your sister dislike her

Jia Yin smiled mischievously and winked at her brother.

Jiarren immediately understood he'd been tricked. His face flushed red, and he quickly got up and said to his grandmother, "Grandma, I was just taking a quick break to come back and see you. I have to go back now. When I have some free time in a few days, I'll come back and visit you again."

Li Lao also didn't want her eldest grandson to be embarrassed, so she relented and said: "Alright, go back to studying. Remember not to overwork yourself."

Jia Yin jumped up and quickly asked Shui Ling and Shui Yun to help her pack the good things from under the quilt. She told her brother to take them back to share with their mother and brothers.

Jia Ren rubbed his younger sister's hair and carried a big pile of snacks back to the academy.

In the backyard, Old Mrs. Li thought more and more, regretting that she had been lazy just now. "I really should have gone out to be a guest, it would have been a good opportunity to see Miss Xing!"

Mrs. Wen hurriedly advised, "Auntie, the Jia family will visit our home the day after tomorrow. We can ask a few questions then."

"If someone is already engaged, wouldn't it be a waste of effort for us to start making plans now"

"Alright, we'll talk about it then." Old Lady Li was willing to listen to advice.

After sitting for a while, Mrs. Liu invited Mrs. Wen and Old Lady Li to go for a stroll elsewhere.

Tao Hongying didn't feel reassured, so she stayed to help her daughter keep things in order.

Li Laotai felt sorry for Wenjuan's pregnancy and kept her company at home. She took her out for a stroll one day.

Jiayin had guessed that business would be booming, so the shop was well-stocked.

But cakes like buttercream, they don't last long. They are all baked early in the morning, after all, the quantity is limited.

So, the sun had just passed overhead when all the goods in the shop were sold out.

Jia Yin's crisp words made the other person close the door, and then she tallied up today's sales.

Thanks to the high prices, although one-third of the goods were sent out, there were still over a hundred taels in the money box.

With costs that are practically negligible, the profit... is astounding!

Everyone was happy and praised him.

"Our little Funiu is amazing, she earned more profit today than even Xianke!"

"Yeah, but these are just snacks, the profit margin is surprisingly high."

"Indeed, it's easiest to make money from the elderly, children, and women."

Jia Yin pretended to be modest, but deep down she was secretly delighted.

If she had a tail, it would be wagging like a fan.

"Heh heh, lucky, just lucky! There were so many people here today for the opening. In a few days, business will slow down. If we can make thirty or forty taels of silver a day, that's not bad." Jia Yin hugged the money box, her eyes gleaming.

Li Zhensheng laughed heartily and patted his little niece's back, "In a few days, more people will be ordering customized birthday cakes. They'll definitely make even more money than this."

"Shh!" Jia Yin quickly put her finger to her lips and whispered to her uncle, "Keep a low profile. Don't flaunt your wealth!"

Everyone couldn't help but burst into laughter, Tao Hongying couldn't help but tap her daughter's arm.

"This kid's mouth is always spouting nonsense! What do you mean by 'showing off' Are you showing off your wealth You're probably overthinking it. There are so many rich people in Xindu now, who would even care about your little trinkets"

Jia Yin did not refute her mother's words, but she hugged the money pouch tightly.

Everyone started packing up and heading home.

Tao Hongying didn't expect that her joke would come true...
