Reborn in ancient times: I will make my family rich

"Dad, do you feel relieved that your daughter doesn't look like someone who would suffer any loss?" Jiang Nan said as he took the food box from Jiang's father's hand.

Jiang Nan looked at the red food box in his hand, which had some auspicious cloud patterns painted on it.

He placed the food box on the table and opened it carefully. Inside was a mass of exquisite, small, floral-shaped pastries that were in keeping with the style of this dynasty.

The pastries are pink and tender, very delicate and pleasing to the eye. They are all carved bit by bit by hand. What's more, the food box has three layers, which must have taken a lot of effort!

Jiang Nan turned his head to look at Jiang's father who was smiling. He felt a little touched. He didn't know how they could prepare it in such a short time.

"My father's cooking skills are still the best," Jiang Nan said as he carefully put down the food box in his hand and lowered his head to hide the emotions in his eyes.

"That's right," Father Jiang's face immediately broke into a smile when he heard the praise from his precious daughter.

"Go choose your clothes, and come over later so I can put on makeup for you," Jiang's mother urged Jiang Nan.

Seeing this, Jiang's father retreated very tactfully.

Jiang Nan did not prepare any new clothes. The clothes and headgear that Gu Yanzhou had sent her before had not been used much and were all new.

"Don't choose your white clothes. It's unlucky when you see people around you," Mother Jiang reminded.

"Your daughter still has some sense of propriety."

It is indeed not appropriate to wear white when meeting someone for the first time, especially the elderly, as they generally have taboos about this.

Jiang Nan chose a light pink dress and a satin cape with colorful embroidery on a moon-white background.

After this period of maintenance, Jiang Nan's skin has recovered 80% and is now fair and tender. He is completely different from half a year ago.

The light pink dress made Jiang Nan's skin look even more delicate.

Jiang Nan changed her clothes and sat in front of the dressing table, allowing Jiang's mother to play freely on her face.

Jiang Nan still trusted his mother's aesthetic taste. After putting on makeup, Qingying made a bun for Jiang Nan and finally decorated it with a hairpin.

Simple yet elegant.

"My daughter is so beautiful," Jiang's mother looked at Jiang Nan, who looked like a person in a painting, with pride in her eyes.

While the three were talking, the voices of Jiang's father and Gu Yanzhou were heard from outside.

Jiang Nan turned his head to look and saw that Gu Yanzhou in the yard was dressed differently from usual. He had specially changed into a dark blue robe with a jade belt around his waist, which restrained Gu Yanzhou's usual hostility a lot.

After greeting Jiang's father, Gu Yanzhou walked towards Jiang Nan's room without any hesitation.

It is winter now and the weather is very cold, so Jiang Nan simply waits in the room.

Not an outsider either.

"Aunt," Gu Yanzhou nodded towards Jiang's mother.

"Well, I won't disturb you two if you chat," said Mother Jiang, and then she took Qingying out of the room.

"What do you think? Do you think I'm dressed appropriately?" There were only two people in the room. Seeing that Gu Yanzhou had been staring at him without saying anything, Jiang Nan asked with some confusion.

She saw that she was dressed similarly to the young ladies in Hua Xiangrong's rouge shop!

"It looks good, and this is in accordance with the rules," Gu Yanzhou's Adam's apple rolled up and down unconsciously as he spoke.

"If you didn't say anything, I would have thought something was wrong!"

"No," Gu Yanzhou walked forward with a smile, took out a stack of banknotes from his arms and handed it to Jiang Nan.

"Here is a 1,000 tael silver note. Keep it safe. I'll have someone take care of the gold later."

"Okay, by the way, will dealing with the emperor's reward have any impact on you?" Jiang Nan suddenly thought of this question.

"It's okay, don't worry."

"That's good, let's go!" Jiang Nanren had almost finished packing and looked up at Gu Yanzhou.

After they finished talking, the two of them walked out of the room side by side. Gu Yanzhou subconsciously raised his hand to hold Jiang Nan's, but when he looked up, he saw Jiang's father staring at him blankly in the yard, and the hand he stretched out stopped awkwardly in mid-air.

Looking at Father Jiang's eyes, Gu Yanzhou suddenly felt like a thief who was about to steal Father Jiang's treasure.

What’s more important is that he, who usually does things with ease, is now in a somewhat awkward situation.

Jiang Nan, who was standing next to him, grinned when he saw Gu Yanzhou like this.

"Dad, let's go," Jiang Nan spoke up to break the slightly awkward atmosphere between the two and waved to Jiang's father.

She raised her hand and held Gu Yanzhou's hand without hesitation, which was a little rough due to years of training.

Gu Yanzhou shuddered and turned his head to look at Jiang Nan, allowing Jiang Nan to lead him forward.

He didn't expect Jiang Nan to be so bold that she would hold his hand and walk away without any hesitation in front of his parents. Women would avoid suspicion in front of outsiders.

Gu Yanzhou smiled and shook his head.

"Yes, if he always obeys his will, he won't be the Jiang Nan he likes."

Obviously, Gu Yanzhou was in a good mood, smiling because of Jiang Nan's action.

The two got on the carriage, with Rong Xin driving and Qingying sitting outside.

In the carriage, Jiang Nan looked at the food box in his hand and asked Gu Yanzhou nervously, "Isn't one box of snacks a little too little? How about I go to the jewelry store and pick out some jewelry for the old lady later?"

"No need, I have already prepared it for you. The old lady was born into a family of scholars and loves calligraphy. I have prepared a rat-hair brush for you, you can take it with you when the time comes," Gu Yanzhou took out a wooden box from the side and handed it to Jiang Nan.

Jiang Nan reached out to take it and opened the wooden box. A rat-hair brush suddenly appeared in front of her. She didn't know much about brushes, but she could tell at a glance that it looked very valuable.

"I didn't expect you to be so attentive. Keep it up."

Gu Yanzhou's action really surprised Jiang Nan.

"Yes, ma'am," Gu Yanzhou replied with a smile, half leaning against the carriage.

"Where did you come from, madam? How come I don't know you?" Jiang Nan knew that this guy had started talking nonsense again and started to act stupid.

The two quarreled all the way. Outside the carriage, Rong Xin and Qingying listened to the quarrel inside the carriage and smiled at each other.

"The general is here," Rong Xin's voice interrupted the two of them half an hour later.

After getting off the carriage, Jiang Nan looked at the magnificent gate of Pingyang Marquis Mansion with its red doors and golden locks, and suddenly felt a little timid.

Just as Jiang's father said, the family backgrounds in ancient times were deeply rooted. Will Gu Yanzhou's grandmother be satisfied with her?

"Let's go first, Rong Xin and the others have gone to park the car," Gu Yanzhou reminded Jiang Nan.

Jiang Nan nodded when he heard that, adjusted his mindset, and followed Gu Yanzhou.

But as soon as the two of them reached the door, the gatekeeper stopped them.

"Who are you two looking for? Do you have a visiting card?"

"This general is here to see the old lady of the Marquis' Mansion. I have already informed her yesterday, but there is no visiting card."

"No, you can't come in without a visiting card," the guard immediately refused upon hearing that there was no visiting card.

Upon hearing this, Gu Yanzhou's face instantly darkened.

"This is the rule in the Marquis' Mansion. When guests come, they are sent away without even being informed." Gu Yanzhou's tone became a little colder.

The people in Pingyang Marquis' Mansion didn't even know Gu Yanzhou, and he even needed to be informed before he could return home. Jiang Nan felt sad.

"This is General Gu. Why don't you open your eyes and take a look? If you can't make a decision, why don't you go and pass it on," Rong Xin, who came over and saw this scene, couldn't help but step forward and shout at the guard.

"Those guys wait a moment," the guard immediately became timid and turned and ran away.

"What a bunch of scoundrels," Rong Xin spat angrily.
