Reborn in ancient times: I will make my family rich

"Okay, I will try to correct myself in the future and consider myself a member of this family."

Qingying was so moved by what the two said that she grinned, but she couldn't hold back her tears anymore and they fell.

Since she was young, her parents have always put her younger sister first. She would give any delicious food to her younger sister and could only eat the leftovers.

Since meeting the girl's family, she felt the feeling of being cared for for the first time.

It was also the first time I realized that love is not just about giving, but also about contributing.

"That's great. I will have a family in the future," Qingying looked at everyone crying and laughing, and was so excited that she could hardly control herself.

"Okay, go out and wash up, the meal will be ready in a while."

Jiang Nan walked forward, hugged Qingying, and patted her back gently.

"Well, the New Year is a time of joy and I can't cry. Besides, I have a family again."

Qingying gradually calmed down with Jiang Nan's comfort.

After hearing this, Jiang Nan let Qingying go and let her go out to wash up.

After this heart-to-heart talk, Qingying completely opened her heart, and tried hard to integrate herself into this family and become a part of this family.

Jiang Nan sat in the kitchen, watching the fire, and kept adding firewood to it.

Nowadays, most families still use firewood, while wealthy families use coal.

No matter which one is used now, it is not very convenient.

Jiang Nan looked at the flames burning in the stove and an idea flashed through his mind.

But we can only talk about it after the New Year when we have time.

Half an hour later, Jiang Nan's breakfast was finally served on the table.

It was just getting light at this time.

"Wow, the food my sister cooked smells so good! Shuang'er hasn't eaten food cooked by my sister for a long time."

Jiang Shuang spoke mischievously.

"You're the only one who can talk. If you like it, eat more quickly so that you can grow taller."

Jiang Nan smiled and pinched Jiang Shuang's chubby little face.

After this period of rest, Jiang Shuang now has a chubby face and fair skin, just like a lucky doll, making people want to pinch him when they see him.

"Sister is annoying, pinching Shuang'er's face again,"

But the little guy doesn't like being pinched on the face.

Seeing Jiang Shuang's little look, everyone laughed out loud.

Gu Yanzhou from the general's mansion next door went to the old lady early in the morning.

"The young master is here."

Nanny Li greeted Gu Yanzhou when she saw him.

"Well, Madam Li, please bring me some more bowls and chopsticks."

Gu Yanzhou sat alone at the eight-immortals table in the old lady's bedroom.

The old lady sitting next to him glanced at Gu Yanzhou and snorted coldly, eating the porridge in her bowl and not wanting to pay attention to him.

The old lady was actually still angry with Gu Yanzhou.

I don't know what he is thinking, but he refuses to finalize the marriage proposal.

Because Jiang Nan was there yesterday, the old lady didn't show it.

"grandmother."

Looking at the still angry old lady, Gu Yanzhou shouted helplessly.

"When you marry Nannan to me, I will acknowledge you as my grandson."

"Grandma, the emperor has granted me a marriage."

Because Gu Yanzhou came back late yesterday, he came here today to tell the old lady about this.

I'm sure grandma will be happy to hear this.

"What? Granted marriage!"

When Mrs. Gu heard this, she stopped eating, raised her voice unconsciously, and her heart skipped a beat.

"Yes, it was granted by His Majesty himself."

Gu Yanzhou repeated the old lady's words.

He said that his grandmother would definitely be happy to hear that the emperor had granted a marriage between him and Nan Nan.

"No, what will happen to us Nan Nan if you marry someone else?"

Now the old lady was completely panicked. She really liked Jiang Nan and wanted her to be her granddaughter-in-law.

How could His Majesty match people up so randomly?

"No, grandma, you misunderstood. The emperor granted a marriage between me and Nan Nan, and Nan Nan has now been conferred the title of Miraculous Doctor County Lady."

Seeing that the old lady had misunderstood, Gu Yanzhou hurried to explain.

"It's really Nan Nan."

The old lady asked again uncertainly.

"Really? How can I lie to you? After the Chinese New Year, I plan to go to Nan Nan's house to propose marriage."

Now that the emperor has personally granted it, the matter is settled.

"Okay, grandma, I'll send someone to prepare the betrothal gift list right away. My granddaughter-in-law is finally settled."

The old lady said excitedly that she now found Gu Yanzhou much more pleasing to the eye.

"Grandma, you have almost recovered. Don't worry about it. Your grandson will come. I just came to tell you to make you happy."

"Grandma knows her own body, how can you understand these things?"

"Don't worry about it. I promise to make it beautiful for you."

Old Madam Gu glanced at Gu Yanzhou with disdain.

She never had a child of her own in her life, and all her grandsons were bad boys. She didn't even have a granddaughter.

Jiang Nan's appearance and personality are really based on the old lady's preferences.

"If you feel uncomfortable due to overwork, please tell me immediately. I will ask the housekeeper to come and give you a detailed list of the property in the mansion."

Seeing this, Gu Yanzhou could only let go and let the old lady do it.

"Okay, eat quickly and ask the butler to bring it to me quickly."

Nanny Li had already brought the dishes and chopsticks while the two were talking.

"Grandma, your granddaughter-in-law hasn't even married yet, and you don't want me as your grandson anymore?"

Seeing the old lady's anxious look, Gu Yanzhou could imagine his future status.

"You are better than my sweet granddaughter-in-law."

Old Madam Gu didn't take Gu Yanzhou's feelings into consideration at all.

"Your granddaughter-in-law is good in everything."

Gu Yanzhou said with a smile that she was just joking with the old lady and was not angry.

Jiang Nan was so happy that he couldn't contain himself to be recognized and liked by the old lady.

After dinner, Gu Yanzhou asked the housekeeper to deliver the booklet to the old lady.

The old lady casually opened it and was shocked by the shops, fields and other things on it.

She never knew that her grandson was so rich.

Several famous shops in Shangjing Street are owned by Gu Yanzhou.

And the business scope is very wide, including restaurants, clothing shops, rouge shops and so on.

This is not only the case in Shangjing, there are also shops operating in other places.

Seeing this, the old lady couldn't help but think of Gu Yanzhou's mother's hometown.

The Zhang family, the richest family in Xuancheng.

Zhou'er's success would surely be due to their help.

The Zhang family has been engaged in business for generations, and their wealth can be said to be enough to rival that of a country.

Ever since Zhou'er's mother died, the Zhang family has cut off ties with the Pingyang Marquis's Mansion.

"Oh, forget it. Now I should prepare the betrothal gifts for Zhou Er."

The old lady took a deep breath and cleared her mind of all distracting thoughts.

"Since Zhou'er is so rich, an old woman like me won't save money for him.

"For the betrothal gifts, use two shops on Shangjing Street and three ordinary shops. As for the silver, use 8,000 taels! Don't burden Nannan with too much."

Anyway, the shop will make much more money in the future.

"As for other seafood, incense, bracelets, gold, etc., just buy the best and most expensive ones, as they will be used after the Chinese New Year."

"That's all for now! I'll come back to you if I think of anything else."

"You said that these are a lot! It has been a long time since I have arranged for marriage."

The old lady frowned and looked at the butler and asked, fearing that she had given too little.

"Not a few, not a few. It's a lot."

The housekeeper quickly spoke up, saying that some old ladies were ready to send the entire general's mansion to them at night.

"Then let's do this for now!"

The old lady asked the butler to leave.

"Madame Li, please go to the Marquis of Pingyang's residence and urge Madam Xu to send me the shop account book as soon as possible."

Three days had passed and there was no news from Xu's side. The old lady knew what she meant.

"Okay, I'll go right away. Zhu'er, take good care of the old lady."

Nanny Li was worried before leaving and gave instructions again.

"Yes," Pearl whispered.

In just a cup of tea, Nanny Li came back again.

"Madame Li, why are you back again?"

Zhu'er was about to go out when she ran into Nanny Li who had just returned.

"Zhu'er, there are guests outside. Please welcome them in later."

"Oh, okay, I'll go right away."

"Madam, I just saw Marquis Pingyang and Xu Shi coming with their two sons."

Nanny Li went into the room and quickly reported the matter to the old lady.

"Humph, they actually came to see an old lady like me. I'm ashamed of them for having such a heart."

The old lady snorted coldly when she heard this.

Except for Gu Huixuan who came whenever he had time during the period when she was seriously ill, no one else came to see her. Now it is clear who treats her well.

It would be a lie to say that I am not sad about this son whom I have raised with all my heart and soul since he was young.

But after experiencing life and death, she now looks at things indifferently.

"Mother, I have been so busy with work that I haven't had time to visit you. It's my fault."

As soon as Marquis Pingyang entered the room, he began to apologize to the old lady.

Xu Gu Yunting, who followed in, also bowed to the old lady.

Only Gu Huixuan felt like he was back home. He ran to Old Madam Gu with a smile and sat down beside her.

Watching his father apologize beside the old lady.

"You are so busy that you still remember to eat and don't get sick from hunger. Your father is blessing you."

The old lady kept fumbling with the Buddhist beads in her hand, and directly blocked Marquis Pingyang's words.

Marquis Pingyang, who had bowed his head to admit his mistake, suddenly looked up and looked at the old lady in shock and disbelief.

These are the words of an old lady who came from a scholarly family.

"What the mother taught her was that her son was unfilial."

Although Pingyang Hou was surprised by the old lady's abnormal behavior today, he still bowed his head and admitted his mistake.

In his heart, he was actually grateful to the old lady.

If the old lady hadn't chosen him back then, he wouldn't have achieved what he has today.

Although I don't have much affection for the old lady in my heart, I still feel grateful and respectful.

"Forget it. Since you guys are here today, I don't have to send someone else to make another trip."

Madam Gu looked at everyone steadily with a calm tone.

He was not as intimate with Marquis Pingyang as before, but rather seemed distant.

"The current emperor has personally granted marriage to Zhou'er and Nannan. After the new year, Zhou'er will be planning to propose marriage. You, as parents, should definitely add something to the marriage."

"Last time, Zhou'er's mother's shop asked you to send out the sorted details. Have you sorted them out?"

After the old lady finished speaking, her eyes fell on Xu.

"Mother, your daughter-in-law has prepared everything and will give it to you after I take you home today."

Xu immediately said with a smile.

"Go back? You are here to take me back today."

"Yes, mother, tomorrow is New Year's Eve, you have to go back and take charge."

Marquis Pingyang narrowed his eyes and spoke to the old lady in a gentler tone.

Not only did his son not get along with him and go out to open a mansion alone, but if the old lady was not at Pingyang Marquis's Mansion during the New Year, if others found out, the couple would be so scared that their spines would be stabbed to death.

"I also want to go back for the New Year, but my body is very weak and it's cold outside. The doctor said it's difficult for me to move."

After the old lady finished speaking, she raised her hand to cover her face and coughed a few times.

"Mother, it should be fine if you pay attention! Didn't you go to Linglong Pavilion a few days ago?"

Seeing how frail Madam Gu looked, Xu spoke with something more to her.

"What a coincidence! I caught a cold again because I didn't pay attention to it last time."

When the old lady reached this point, her voice couldn't help but sound a little weak.

Gu Huixuan, who was sitting next to the old lady, couldn't help but silently applaud Madam Gu in his heart.

It was rare for him to see his grandmother being unreasonable and willful.

When Xu heard the old lady's words, she was choked and speechless. She turned to look at Marquis Pingyang for help.

Pingyang Hou was also a little surprised that the old lady was so stubborn today.

"Since mother is not feeling well, please rest well here at Zhou'er's place. I will come to see you another day."

Pingyang Hou narrowed his eyes slightly, with a hint of anger flashing in them.

Today he finally realized that the old lady didn't want to go back with him.

After saying this, Marquis Pingyang turned away without even stopping.

"Xu, go back and have someone bring me all the details of the shop, as well as the shop title deed."

Before leaving, the old lady did not forget to criticize Xu.

"Yes, my daughter-in-law will have someone send it to you when she gets home."

After saying this, Xu took her eldest son and left.

Before leaving, he didn't even look at Gu Huixuan.

Gu Huixuan’s presence is so low on weekdays that even when everyone has left, no one remembers that he is still there.

After leaving the general's mansion, Gu Yunting suddenly stopped and called out to Xu in front of him.

"Mother, what is this shop that grandma is talking about?"

"Linglong Pavilion was a dowry given by Gu Yanzhou's mother. Your grandmother wants to take the shop back now."

When he said this, a hint of unwillingness flashed across Xu's face.

This shop is the most profitable shop in the mansion, and its annual income can bring at least 60,000 to 70,000 taels of silver to the mansion.

"Mother agreed," Gu Yunting frowned when he heard this.

"How could I not agree? Fortunately, the dowry of that woman was handled cleanly so that no one could find any evidence against her. Only this shop was not willing to be disposed of."

"Linglong Pavilion is one of the best in Shangjing. Since we have to hand over the shop, we might as well send someone to take out all the jewelry in the shop and consign it to other shops to reduce the loss."

Gu Yunting is about the same age as Gu Yanzhou and knows a little about what happened back then.

"Yes! Why didn't I think of that? My son is really smart."

Xu was immediately overjoyed. The old lady only said she wanted the shop but didn’t mention the things in the store!

"If mother encounters this kind of thing again in the future, she can discuss it with her son."

Gu Yunting spoke to Xu.

After all, everything in Pingyang Marquis Mansion will be his from now on.

"You are already very busy with your official duties. Isn't mother afraid that you will be distracted?"

Xu looked at Gu Yunting with fondness.

After returning home, Xu immediately sent someone to notify Linglong Pavilion that it would be closed for the day, and moved back all the things that could be taken away from Linglong Pavilion.

These things in the shop are worth at least hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.

Having recovered a lot of losses, Xu was obviously in a good mood, humming a little tune all the way back to her courtyard.

"Madam, it's time to check your pulse today." When Mrs. Xu entered the room, Doctor Xu from the mansion had been waiting in the room for a long time.

"I was so busy that I forgot about it. You all can go back now!" Mrs. Xu waved her hand and asked the servants around her to leave.

There were only two people left in the room at this time.
