Reborn in ancient times: I will make my family rich

Chapter 99: Unable to Prepare the Antidote Directly

Jiang Nan left the yard and went straight to the Song Mansion to look for Song Qingyu.

When he arrived at the Song Mansion, he ran into Song Qingyu who was about to go out.

"Why are you here?" Song Qingyu asked puzzledly, then he thought about what happened yesterday and immediately understood.

"You seem to be concerned about his affairs."

"That's a human life, how can I not take it seriously!" Jiang Nan responded unhappily to Song Qingyu's teasing.

"Since you are here, I will not go to the store today. Come in and sit down!" Seeing Jiang Nan's anxious look, Song Qingyu turned around, handed the medicine box in his hand to the servant beside him, and welcomed him into the living room.

"Don't worry, my father will be back soon if everything is fine," Song Qingyu said in a stiff tone to comfort Jiang Nan.

"Well, I've really troubled you two these past two days," Jiang Nan said with an apologetic look on his face.

"Okay, I'm really sorry. You can continue to see patients in my store after you've dealt with this matter," Song Qingyu said with a shrewd look in his eyes.

"We'll talk about it later. I can't get away now because of something going on at home," Jiang Nan knew that Song Qingyu was a "big profiteer" and did not directly refuse nor agree.

The two waited in the reception room for an hour.

Instead of waiting for Imperial Physician Song, he waited for the servant beside him.

"My lord, there is a noblewoman giving birth in the palace, and I am busy for the moment. I was asked to give this to you."

As the servant spoke, he took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Song Qingyu.

"Then I will go down first. I still have to go to the palace to pick up the master." After finishing his work, the servant retreated respectfully.

After everyone left, Song Qingyu opened the paper in his hand.

Jiang Nan felt somewhat nervous, fearing that it might be bad news.

The paper sent by Doctor Song said, "I have asked the doctors in the palace who have been exposed to Gongxin Powder to check it out. They confirmed that it was this poison. However, the nature of this poison is very strange. The antidote must be prepared according to the severity of the poisoning. I need to personally see the old lady's condition before I can prepare the antidote. Please understand."

Jiang Nan heaved a sigh of relief after reading the words on Doctor Song's paper.

Once you know what the poison is, you can figure out the rest.

"Since General Gu doesn't want too many people to know about this, you can take this and give it to him!" Song Qingyu thoughtfully stuffed the note into Jiang Nan's hand.

"Okay, by the way, my mother said she would bring my father to you today to sign the lease agreement, so I have to go back quickly."

"It doesn't matter if I'm not here. The person in charge can handle it," Song Qingyu signaled Jiang Nan not to worry.

"Okay, then I have to go back first. See you another day." Jiang Nan waved at Song Qingyu.

Although there were managers to handle the matter, she was afraid that her parents might not have enough money.

At that time, she gave Jiang's father and mother five hundred taels of silver, and the rent was also five hundred taels of silver. Adding to the household expenses, she was afraid that the two of them would not have enough silver to delay things.

Jiang Nan hurried back. As matters were urgent, Jiang Nan went to the general's mansion next door to find Gu Yanzhou first.

I planned to hand him the note in my hand.

However, Gu Yanzhou had not returned from court yet and Rong Xin was not there, so Jiang Nan had no choice but to give up.

Before Jiang Nan left, she told the housekeeper to ask Gu Yanzhou to find her next door as soon as he returned, as he had important business.

After giving Jiang Nan instructions, he went home with peace of mind.

"Dad, Mom," Jiang Nan returned home and shouted towards his father and mother's bedroom.

"Alas, child, you go out so early in the morning on such a cold day. I don't know what you have been busy with recently." Mother Jiang heard the voice coming out of the room, but it was not difficult to hear the concern in her words.

"It's just some small things," Jiang Nan knew that Jiang's mother was worried about him, so he smiled and took Jiang's mother's arm.

"Okay, you haven't eaten yet! Go wash your hands and have dinner."

"Okay, where's my dad?" Jiang Nan looked for a long time but couldn't see his father.

"He hasn't woken up yet," Jiang's mother sighed helplessly. If she had known earlier, she would have stopped him from drinking so much.

"Well, let him sleep a little longer then."

After saying that, Jiang Nan returned to his room and took out another four hundred taels of silver notes, keeping one hundred taels for himself.

Qingying had already set up shop, leaving Jiang Nan's family and two children alone at home.

Jiang's mother and the two children had already finished their breakfast, which was the meal Jiang's mother had specially reserved for Jiang Nan.

A plate of green vegetables, two boiled eggs and a bowl of millet porridge, although simple, is nutritious.

Arriving at the dining table, Jiang Nan handed the four hundred taels in his hand to Jiang's mother.

"Mom, take this money. We'll need it to renovate the store."

Jiang Nan said to Jiang's mother while eating.

"Okay, I'll take it first. When your father and I make money, we'll give you dividends," Jiang's mother said without hesitation.

Jiang Nan is their only child, and any money they earn in the future will be left to her sooner or later.

However, prices in Beijing are high, and I don’t know if this one thousand taels of silver can be used to open this restaurant.

Jiang Nan felt that the ointment he was researching should be put on the agenda, and earning more money would be a good precaution.

After finishing breakfast, Jiang Nan cleared his own bowl from the kitchen.

As soon as he came out of the kitchen, he bumped into Jiang's father who was coming out of the bedroom.

"Dad, you're awake," Jiang Nan couldn't help laughing as he looked at his father, whose hair was disheveled and beard was untidy because he had just woken up.

"Well, what time is it now?" Father Jiang selectively ignored the smile on Jiang Nan's face and asked in confusion.

"It's almost nine o'clock," Jiang Nan replied.

"Well, I drank too much at once," Father Jiang rubbed his head which was aching due to the hangover.

"You guys drank a lot! This is the first time I've seen you drink so much. If I didn't know, I would think you and Gu Yanzhou were brothers."

"What brothers?" Hearing Jiang Nan's words, Jiang's father looked confused, as if he had no idea what happened yesterday.

"You don't remember?" Jiang Nan raised his head with inquiry in his eyes, wondering if his father was pretending to be stupid because of embarrassment.

"Isn't it that boy Gu Yanzhou who came to discuss your marriage with me?"

"It seems you are drunk and don't remember anything."

Her father is capable of this, and it’s amazing that he can selectively forget about it.

"I remember that I agreed to your marriage. Is there anything else?" Father Jiang looked at Jiang Nan with confusion.

"Dad, you don't want to know, so you'd better not ask," Jiang Nan said with a smile and went back to the bedroom.

Jiang's father was left standing there, confused.

After thinking for a long time without any idea, he turned around and went to find Jiang's mother.

After coming out from Jiang's mother, Jiang's father had an expression of embarrassment and disbelief on his face.

The expression on his face changed unpredictably, finally turning into deep regret.

Why didn't he listen to Nan Nan's stubborn question?

"You're the only one who talks too much," Father Jiang raised his hand and slapped himself on the mouth in annoyance.

"Uncle Gu, what happened to you?" Gu Yanzhou, who received the news from Jiang Nan after leaving the court, did not even have time to change into his court clothes. As soon as he entered the room, he saw Father Jiang slapping himself in the mouth.

"Xiao, Xiao Gu is here. Nan Nan is inside, you go find her!" When Father Jiang heard Gu Yanzhou's words, he was so scared that his hands shook, and he turned around and spoke with a stutter.

After talking to Gu Yanzhou, she turned around awkwardly and went back to her bedroom.
