Reborn in ancient times: I will make my family rich

"The old lady of the Gu family likes Miss Jiang very much. Today, she specially asked me to bring Zhou'er to propose marriage. Please keep this gift list. We will set a wedding date in the future. We will not disturb you today."

Lady Dingguo handed the gift list to Jiang's mother and said with a smile.

Jiang's mother had already found out clearly that after the betrothal gifts were delivered, the person who delivered the betrothal gifts would leave.

Mother Jiang smiled and politely tried to persuade the person to stay, then she personally sent the person to the door and watched him leave.

After leaving the Jiang family, the wife of Duke Dingguo went straight back to the Duke Dingguo's Mansion.

For an ordinary family to catch the eye of Old Madam Gu, they must have something extraordinary. No matter whether it is Miss Jiang or her parents, you can tell they are not ordinary people in the way they treat others, Lady Dingguo Duke complained in her heart.

After sending the person away, Jiang's father and mother looked at the more than ten loads of betrothal gifts in the yard. They could feel Gu Yanzhou's sincerity and his importance to Jiang Nan, and they were happy too.

Back in the living room, Jiang's mother opened the thick red gift list. When she saw the shops one by one, she couldn't help but gasp and turned a few more pages in disbelief. It wasn't even finished yet.

"Her father, look," Jiang's mother excitedly handed the gift list in her hand to Jiang's father.

Father Jiang looked at the shops upstairs in disbelief.

But in her heart, she was happy for Jiang Nan. In ancient times, family background was deeply rooted in each other's minds. This girl actually brought out so many things as a betrothal gift, which was enough to prove her sincerity and importance to Nan Nan. She might have taken out all her family belongings.

"Nan Nan, this is the gift list. Take a look at it and treat them well in the future," Father Jiang handed the gift list to Jiang Nan and said to him meaningfully.

Jiang Nan noticed something unusual about the two people. He took the gift list with some confusion, not understanding what was so special about it.

Jiang Nan opened the first page and saw that it was full of shops, including Linglong Pavilion.

After more than ten pages of shops, there is gift money, and then some miscellaneous things.

"This idiot," Jiang Nan's nose felt sore and he cursed softly. He gave her all his belongings before they even got married. Wasn't he afraid that she would run away?

Holding the gift list in my hand, it would be a lie to say I wasn't touched.

"Jiang Nan, you have to treat Gu Yanzhou well in the future. If you bully others, I will be the first to disapprove," Jiang's mother admonished Jiang Nan.

"I am your daughter," Jiang Nan, who was still feeling moved, was interrupted by Jiang's mother's words.

"After you two get married, you'll both be the same in my eyes. I'll only help the right one."

"Hey, there are so many betrothal gifts. Don't say anything. Just hurry up and make money," Jiang's father was happy but a little worried. He could only work hard to earn a dowry for Jiang Nan.

Don't let others look down on you then.

The engagement was settled between the two and the restaurant was about to open.

By then, Mr. and Mrs. Jiang will definitely be too busy in the store, and Qingying will have to watch over the milk tea shop and won't be able to help.

"Mom and Dad, let's go to the human trafficker later. The store will open the day after tomorrow, and we need to find some help."

After moving the betrothal gifts, Jiang Nan expressed his thoughts.

Now that the store is about to open, this matter cannot be delayed.

"That's fine. Your mother and I were planning to put up a notice and hire a few workers. We went to the human traffickers' place. It felt like we were buying and selling people."

Father Jiang frowned, feeling a little bit troubled.

"We bought these people and we won't mistreat them. If they do a good job, we'll give them some monthly wages. What's the big deal?"

Jiang Nan was quite open-minded. He thought that instead of hiring workers, it would be better to buy a few servants and maids from the human traffickers, which would make it easier to manage them.

"Just listen to Nannan. Don't worry about it. Others may buy it, but it may not be better for them to come to us!" Mother Jiang walked to Father Jiang's side. Knowing that he was stubborn, she spoke to comfort him.

"Well, I'll listen to you then."

It was already noon after all this trip, and they still had to go to the human traffickers' place, so Jiang Nan simply took his family out to eat.

This also saves time.

Shangjing City is located in the imperial capital, where high-ranking officials, royal relatives, and wealthy businessmen gather, and there is a huge demand for maids.

So a street of people and market was formed.

Jiang Nan came here once by chance and was also shocked by the scene inside the city.

There were not only maids and servants, but also exotic beauties dressed scantily for people to play with. There were many who were beaten to pieces for being disobedient. It was a mess.

"Qingying, take the two little ones for a walk! If they get tired, just go back. We'll go back after we're done."

Jiang Nan didn't want the two children to go and see the bloody scenes inside.

"Okay," Qingying responded, and took the two children away.

After Qingying left with the two children, Jiang Nan left with Jiang's father and mother.

As we approached the human market, a smell of blood rose up.

Jiang Nan had been here once and still felt a little uncomfortable with the place.

But there are so many people here, and we can pick out the most suitable one.

"Don't miss it if you pass by. If you can think of it, you can buy it. Come in and take a look, girl. I have a lot of choices here."

A middle-aged man was holding a whip and shouting. When he saw Jiang Nan, he invited Jiang Nan into the house to take a look.

Since he was already here, he naturally wanted to look around, so Jiang Nan did not refuse.

"Miss, do you want a maid or a servant?" the human trafficker asked Jiang Nan what she wanted.

"Two maids with nimble hands and feet. The servant can also take a look."

"Okay, wait a moment, I'll go get someone for you."

Ren Yazi turned and went to the yard behind the house.

Father Jiang's brows have been furrowed since he entered the human market, and they have never relaxed.

Soon, the human traffickers brought over a dozen people, including three or four young strong men holding whips to guard these people.

"Look, these are some young and skillful maids, and this is the servant boy."

"Quickly introduce yourselves to this girl. She looks kind and comes from a good family. It is your fortune to be able to buy her."

Ren Yazi put away his smile, turned to look at everyone and spoke.

As soon as Ren Yazi finished speaking, a girl about fifteen or sixteen years old above him immediately introduced herself with fear in her eyes.

Jiang Nan carefully looked at the dozen people who came in. Although it was winter and no wounds could be seen, judging from the reactions of the people, they were often beaten.
