Reborn in ancient times: I will make my family rich

As soon as Gu Huixuan finished speaking, Pingyang Hou brought Xu and Gu Yunting into the house.

"Mom, today is the first day of the Chinese New Year. Your son and his family are here to wish you a happy new year."

Marquis Pingyang and the other two knelt down and bowed to Old Madam Gu.

"Everyone, get up. Madam Xu, please give the two children some New Year's money."

Madam Gu gave instructions to Madam Xu who was waiting behind her.

"Thank you, Grandma. You're welcome."

Gu Huixuan stood up and took the bulging purse from the old lady without hesitation.

Madam Gu always had fifty taels of silver in her purse every year. On weekdays, he basically relied on the New Year's money given by the old lady to buy what he wanted.

Xu didn't like him in the first place, and the monthly allowance he received was pitifully little.

As the young master of the Pingyang Marquis's mansion, he only had 500 copper coins a month, which would make people laugh if others knew about it.

Marquis Pingyang took a look at Gu Huixuan, who looked like he had never seen money, and felt displeased.

How could the Pingyang Marquis's Mansion be so big that it lacks this much money?

"Mother is going to court today, and I have been ordered to support the North. I don't know when I will return. I hope you take care of yourself. I am here to say goodbye to you today."

"Well, you are thoughtful. Be careful on the battlefield."

The old lady looked at Marquis Pingyang and said indifferently.

"Yes," Pingyang Hou looked at the old lady who no longer gave her constant instructions like she did in the past when they went to the battlefield. He knew in his heart that after this incident, the old lady had finally turned away from him.

As expected, if they are not biological parents, there will be no true love.

Marquis Pingyang sneered in his heart.

"Madam, this is the account book of Linglong Pavilion. There are also some things Zhou'er bought as a betrothal gift. I also asked someone to bring it to the servants in the mansion."

Xu said with a smile.

"Did you bring the title deed?"

The old lady took the account book, flipped through it casually, and asked casually.

"If you hadn't told me, I would have forgotten it. It's right here with me!"

Xu took out the deed to Linglong Pavilion from her bosom and handed it to Nanny Li beside her.

She deliberately kept the title deed with herself, and she also had a selfish motive, which was that the old lady would not remember about it.

"Well, you are so thoughtful. I am not feeling well today so I won't keep you for dinner."

The old lady was too lazy to continue dealing with them and ordered them to leave.

"Then you should take good care of yourself, and we will go back first."

Old Madam Gu sat on the stool and didn't even look at Marquis Pingyang, but just responded simply.

Looking at the account book of Linglong Pavilion in her hand, there was no surprise on the old lady's face when she saw that there was no inventory at all.

Her ultimate goal was the shop.

Before she died, she wanted to get back some of Zhou'er's things. This was the last thing she could do for him.

After chatting with the old lady for a while, Jiang Nan took the two little ones back home.

"What are you three talking about!"

When Jiang Nan entered the room, he saw three people sitting at the table, talking about something, with sad looks on their faces.

"You're back. The word has spread all over the streets that the northern city has been lost," said Mother Jiang with a worried look on her face.

"We had just settled down and had a few days of good life, but we didn't know when the attack reached Shangjing. Now the streets are full of panic."

"Mom, who told you this?"

Jiang Nan asked doubtfully. Gu Yanzhou said that the emperor just received the news from the north last night and cancelled his day off to discuss the affairs of the north. How could the news spread so quickly?

"I go to the streets to buy vegetables and hear what the street vendors say. Now basically everyone knows it."

"Don't worry, the North is far away from Shangjing. Besides, there are soldiers on the front line to protect our country. They won't attack us so quickly."

In his previous life, Jiang Nan had always been on the front line and was very sensitive to military matters.

"That's right. Instead of worrying about the future, we should just live our lives well and take things one step at a time. Who can predict the future?"

Jiang's mother is not a person who would dwell on trivial matters. Instead, she is very open-minded.

"We'll take a day off today, and we'll go to the store to clean up tomorrow."

Jiang Nan proposed to the three of them.

After cleaning is done and the ordered tables and chairs are in place, you can start preparing for the opening.

The next day, everyone went to the store with cleaning tools.

The empty shop was covered in dust due to renovation, and cleaning it was time-consuming and laborious.

Jiang Nan was thinking that his store would need some help in the future, so he had to go to the human trafficker and buy two people.

"General Gu, you must come back safely!" Suddenly, loud shouts were heard on the street, accompanied by the sound of orderly footsteps.

Several people working in the house stopped what they were doing instantly, attracted by the lively scene on the street.

When Jiang Nan went out, he saw many people standing on both sides of the street, seeing off the troops that were supporting the north.

Jiang Nan heard from Gu Yanzhou that this support would include an army of 100,000.

"I hope Pingyang Hou can bring us good news this time."

"Of course he will. Pingyang Hou has made countless military achievements."

"Yes, General Gu will surely win the first battle."

Many people in the crowd were talking about it.

In Shangjing City, people were already in panic due to the news of the loss of the north, but with the support of Pingyang Hou's troops, the people's hearts were calmed down a little.

Jiang Nan couldn't help but look at the Pingyang Marquis who was wearing silver-white armor and riding on a horse with a stern face in the distance. Apart from anything else, Pingyang Marquis had the air of a general at this moment.

Looking at the people who were seeing him off on the streets, I thought that Marquis Pingyang was also a good general.

Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many people supporting him and coming to see him off.

"The leader is the unfaithful father of Yanzhou's unfortunate child."

Mother Jiang knew a little about Gu Yanzhou's life experience, and a look of contempt flashed across her face as she looked at Pingyang Hou on the horse.

He looks like a dog.

"Mom, your description is quite accurate." Jiang Nan smiled and gave his mother a thumbs up.

Although something is wrong, it seems that everything is right.

"The imperial court is truly blind to allow him to lead troops to fight in wars by favoring his wife and ignoring his concubines."

Jiang's mother spoke like a machine gun, speaking up for Gu Yanzhou and her mother.

"Oh my god, please shut up! You can't say that."

Jiang Nan quickly covered Jiang Mu's mouth.

So as to avoid saying anything outrageous and being heard by others.

He quickly brought the person to the store.

"Mom, you have to be more careful with your words in the future. After all, I am the adopted daughter of the Queen Mother!"

Jiang Nan gave Jiang's mother earnest instructions.

"You forgot about me. You have a new mother. I will pay attention next time."

Jiang Nan was choked again by Jiang's mother's words.

"Dad, I'll leave my mother to you. You two are true love, and I'm an accident."

Jiang Nan walked over to Jiang's father, looked at him sympathetically, and continued to work.

"Are you tired? If you are, I'll do it."

Father Jiang seemed to ignore Jiang Nan's words.

"A little bit, I'll take a break."

When Father Jiang heard this, he immediately found a clean place, wiped it clean with his sleeve so that Mother Jiang could sit down and rest.

"Sure enough, I am just an accident," Jiang Nan lowered his head and shook his head helplessly.

Over here in the mansion of Marquis Pingyang, after Xu and the others in the mansion sent Marquis Pingyang back home, she dismissed the servants and returned to her room.

Gu Huixuan was about to return to his own courtyard, but suddenly he thought of something and turned around and walked towards Xu's courtyard.
