Reborn in ancient times: I will make my family rich

Chapter 86: The Old Lady of Pingyang Marquis's Mansion

"Hey! Why is there a sedan chair parked at the door? Did we go to the wrong place?" Qingying said to Jiang Nan with some confusion while looking at the sedan chair at the door.

"We'll know when we go back and take a look," Jiang Nan already had a guess in his mind.

As expected, as soon as I entered the gate, I saw a eunuch in palace robes sitting in the main hall drinking tea, with four sedan chair bearers standing beside him, and a younger eunuch waiting on the side. Father and Mother Jiang were greeting them.

It turned out to be a reward from the palace, Jiang Nan thought.

Being able to ride in a sedan chair to deliver imperial edicts, his status in the palace must not be too low. Moreover, the temperament of the eunuchs drinking tea in the hall in their every move is unmatched by ordinary people.

During the few steps from the gate of the compound to the main hall, Jiang Nan's mind had already turned several times.

In the living room, Jiang's father heard footsteps coming from the yard. Seeing Jiang Nan coming back, he quickly stood up and introduced her to his father-in-law beside him: "Father-in-law, this is our daughter Jiang Nan."

"Nannan, this eunuch Wang is here to look for you."

"Eunuch Wang," Jiang Nan walked up to Eunuch Wang and greeted him.

"Miss Jiang, we have good news for you. The emperor's edict has arrived," Eunuch Wang said with a smile, bowing slightly towards Jiang Nan.

"Miss Jiang, please accept the imperial edict!" Eunuch Wang took the imperial edict from the young eunuch beside him.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Nan and his entire family immediately knelt down towards the imperial edict.

"The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims: Jiang Nan, the daughter of the Jiang family, has restored the body to health with her miraculous healing skills and has made great contributions in disaster relief. I hereby grant her one hundred taels of gold as a reward. I decree this."

"Thank you, Your Majesty," Jiang Nan took the imperial edict with both hands.

"Congratulations, Miss Jiang. We'll leave our things here for you. Bye," Eunuch Wang said to Jiang Nan, pointing to the box containing rewards behind him.

"Sorry to bother you, Eunuch Wang. This is a little gift from Jiang Nan. Please don't despise it." Jiang Nan stuffed the dozen or so taels of silver he had left from buying things into Eunuch Wang's hands.

After being here for so long, she still knows the rules.

"Miss Jiang, you are too polite," Eunuch Wang did not refuse and stuffed the silver given by Jiang Nan into his sleeve.

I thought this trip would be in vain, but I didn't expect this girl to be so considerate.

Jiang Nan and his father and their entourage personally escorted Eunuch Wang out.

When she returned to the living room, Qingying had already seen the box of gold so brightly that she couldn't open her eyes.

She had never seen so much silver.

"It would be better to change the one hundred taels of gold into silver notes. They are too eye-catching in the room," Jiang's father suggested to Jiang Nan.

When Jiang Nan was not here, she chatted with Eunuch Wang. Jiang's father and mother also knew that Jiang Nan had received this reward for her contribution to disaster relief. They were happy for their daughter from the bottom of their hearts.

"Well, I'll go find Gu Yanzhou later and ask him to help change it into silver notes."

Jiang Nan had the same idea. It really stood out at home.

"Mom and Dad, I'm thinking of using this money to open a restaurant for you two. What do you think?" Jiang Nan expressed his thoughts.

"That's good. This way our family will have a stable source of income," Father Jiang did not refuse and agreed directly.

"When I change the banknotes, you can take care of the store by yourselves. I still have to go to the palace."

My parents have been here for a while now, and I need to learn to deal with things on my own.

"By the way, Dad, Gu Yanzhou and I are going to meet his grandmother tomorrow. Can you help me make some pastries suitable for the old lady to eat?" Jiang Nan said to his father with a smile.

You can't go empty-handed on your first visit. As the old lady of the Pingyang Marquis's Mansion, she is definitely not interested in ordinary things, and she can't afford expensive ones.

She trusts her father's cooking skills, so it's up to him to do the hard work.

"You've only been together for a short time and you want to meet their parents?" Father Jiang was unhappy when he heard this.

"Dad, I'm just going to take a look," Jiang Nan said and winked at Jiang's mother beside him.

"Okay, you still want your daughter to be an old spinster and not get married? Your father and I will go to the street to buy the materials and make it for you tomorrow. My daughter will be proud to show it to her," Jiang's mother immediately spoke up to smooth things over.

"It can't be so fast," Father Jiang muttered unwillingly.

That's how long I've been with that kid.

He had a feeling that his sweet little girl was about to be kidnapped by that kid Gu Yanzhou.

Father Jiang was taken away by Mother Jiang.

Jiang Mu's status in the family is unquestionable and cannot be compared with that of ordinary people.

"Qingying, go next door and see if Rong Xin is there. If not, ask the housekeeper of the Gu Mansion to come over."

After Qingying left, Jiang Nan looked at the gold in the box. All the gold was in the shape of gold ingots, neatly stacked in the box.

Who doesn't like gold? Jiang Nan picked up a gold ingot and played with it in his hand.

The feel is good.

Suddenly Jiang Nan noticed a moon symbol at the bottom of the gold.

Jiang Nan put down the gold ingot in his hand and looked through the remaining gold ingots, all of which were printed with the moon symbol.

Jiang Nan suddenly thought, can the gold ingots given by the emperor be spent?

In TV dramas, it seems that those who receive rewards from the emperor are treated like ancestors.

Forget it, let’s wait until someone comes and ask.

Jiang Nan looked up at the sky, thinking, God wouldn’t play tricks on me like this!

After a while, Qingying found Rong Xin.

"Miss Jiang, you're looking for me." Rong Xin knew the relationship between Jiang Nan and Gu Yanzhou, so he asked respectfully when he saw Jiang Nan.

"Rong Xin, the emperor rewarded me with one hundred taels of gold. I want to exchange it for silver notes. Do you think this can be exchanged?" Jiang Nan knew that Rong Xin was Gu Yanzhou's confidant, so he spoke without hesitation and asked Rong Xin directly.

"It should be possible. I'll ask the general when he comes back." He was not sure about this. Rong Xin looked at Jiang Nan's expectant eyes and couldn't bear to refuse directly.

"Can't?" Jiang Nan felt disappointed when he didn't get a positive answer.

"It's not that we can't, but the people who usually receive the rewards are high-ranking officials and nobles, who don't even look at gold and silver jewelry," Rong Xin scratched his head and explained to Jiang Nan.

Common people like Miss Jiang rarely receive rewards.

"Then you can wait for Gu Yanzhou to come back and ask him. There's nothing else to do, so go and get busy!"

Qingying sent Rong Xin out.

Jiang Nan estimated that the gold reward he would receive in the evening would determine the result.

Jiang Nan placed all the rouge and powder she bought today in front of her dressing table.

There were also some bought for Jiang's mother. Jiang Nan planned to give Jiang's mother a surprise in the evening.

After dinner in the evening, Jiang Bei went to the Gu Mansion next door to study as usual.

Jiang Nan took out the rouge and lip balm she bought today.

"Ding ding ding, look what this is," Jiang Nan placed something in front of Jiang's mother.

"Let me see what it is that's so mysterious," Jiang's mother opened the small bottle, revealing the light pink lip balm inside.

"Cosmetics?" Jiang's mother asked subconsciously.

"Yeah, there's also a rouge, you like it!"

"Of course I like it. It's a gift from my daughter," Jiang's mother held the gift in her hand and couldn't let it go.

"I'll try." Mother Jiang stood up like a child and went back to her room.

"You're so old, but you're still like a child," Father Jiang said in a reproachful tone, but his eyes were doting as he looked in the direction of the room.

"That's because you spoiled him," Jiang Nan and Qingying joked while cleaning up the dishes.

"Sister, Brother Gu said he has something to talk to you about," Jiang Bei, who had just returned, suddenly ran over and said.

"Dad, I'll go take a look," Jiang Nan put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hands.

"Let Qingying go with you," Father Jiang immediately winked at Qingying.

He knows very well what a man is like.
