Reborn in ancient times: I will make my family rich

"You want all of these," the waiter was shocked when he heard the old lady's words.

Linglong Pavilion has no shortage of wealthy employers, but the jewelry in Linglong Pavilion starts at at least one hundred taels of silver. I didn’t expect that this old lady would be so generous.

He was mistaken.

"Ma'am, it doesn't matter whether you come to our shopkeeper or not. I'll give you a 5% discount, what do you think?" said the waiter with a flattering smile.

"No need for a discount, just ask him to come over. I know he's in the store."

Old Madam Gu sat there unmoved.

"Then please wait a moment. I will go and call our shopkeeper."

The waiter didn't dare to offend this big customer. Today's jewelry was enough to cover his three-day turnover.

"Shopkeeper Wang, a customer wants to see you."

"What's the matter?" Shopkeeper Wang heard the voice and continued to look at the account book without raising his head.

"An old lady, she didn't say what it was, she just wanted you to come over."

"Just say I'm not here and have gone out. You're looking for me just to get a lower price," Shopkeeper Wang frowned.

"I took a quick look and found that the old lady wanted all her jewelry, more than a dozen sets."

The waiter didn't leave and continued talking to Manager Wang.

Upon hearing this, Shopkeeper Wang looked up.

Shopkeeper Wang is a thin man, about forty years old, with the shrewdness that only a businessman can have.

"I'll go with you," Shopkeeper Wang put down the account book in his hand.

The waiter took Manager Wang to the old lady on the second floor.

"Old lady, I wonder what you want from me."

Shopkeeper Wang bowed politely to the old lady.

Although he was the shopkeeper of Linglong Pavilion, most of the guests he received were dignitaries, whom a small shopkeeper like him could not afford to offend.

That's why he is usually courteous to others, and that's why he got the position of the shopkeeper of Linglong Pavilion.

"Well, it seems you don't recognize me."

The old lady looked at Shopkeeper Wang and said something quietly.

Hearing this, Shopkeeper Wang looked up at the old lady again. He felt that she looked familiar, but he did not recognize her as that lady.

"I am not very good at seeing, I don't know which old lady you are from."

Shopkeeper Wang spoke very respectfully, and as he spoke he secretly observed the old lady, trying to get some clues from her.

"This is the old lady of your Gu Mansion, how could you not recognize her?" Old Madam Ning at the side reminded the shopkeeper.

"So it's you, old man. I just didn't recognize the great man."

"I don't know what you want me to do."

The waiter standing next to the shopkeeper had a shocked expression on his face. He didn't expect that this old lady was actually their boss.

"Today I specially brought my future granddaughter-in-law to pick out some jewelry. You can just put it in the account."

The old lady spoke to Shopkeeper Wang in a calm tone.

"Pack up all these jewellery and put them in the car. We should go back too."

The old lady then gave instructions to the waiter beside her.

Shopkeeper Wang's eyelids jumped when he took a look at the dozen or so sets of jewelry on the table next to him.

"Madam, this amount is a bit too much. I will have a hard time explaining it to you when the time comes."

Shopkeeper Wang said in embarrassment.

"I can't help it. My granddaughter-in-law likes it. It doesn't make sense for her to pay for jewelry in my own shop. If your wife has any objections, let her come to me directly."

Madam Gu looked at Jiang Nan and spoke with a doting look on her face.

Old Madam Ning and Ning Yurou sat aside and ate melon quietly.

She and Old Madam Gu were close friends and they kept in touch after they got married, so she had heard a little about Xu's affairs.

This old lady brought Jiang Nan to Linglong Pavilion today, obviously to get something for free.

Shopkeeper Wang felt a headache looking at the stubborn old lady.

The total value of these head ornaments and jewelry must be at least four or five thousand taels of silver, which is not a small amount.

"Madam, please let this young lady pick one or two things she likes and take them away, so that I can get my job done."

Shopkeeper Wang's forehead was covered in cold sweat. He looked at the old lady and asked cautiously.

"Alright, I'm not trying to embarrass you. I can't even take a few pieces of jewelry from my own shop. Just call Xu over to me. I want to see if I, as your mother-in-law, can take them."

The old lady brought Jiang Nan to Linglong Pavilion today to choose jewelry, but she didn't even think about paying.

He did not give in at all to what Shopkeeper Wang said.

Jiang Nan listened for a long time and got a general idea of ​​what was going on. Naturally, he understood what Madam Gu meant.

"What are you standing there for? Go quickly. I'll be waiting for her here."

The old lady looked at Shopkeeper Wang with a dim gaze and spoke in a firm tone that left no room for refusal.

"Then please wait a moment," Shopkeeper Wang said with a grim expression.

The old lady had said this and Manager Wang could only send someone to invite Xu.

The old lady in the next room: "What's going on? Why are you silent? I haven't heard the rest yet!"

"Keep your voice down, be careful not to be heard."

"Nannan, since you have nothing to do, just wait a while!"

The old lady now is completely different from when she faced Manager Wang just now.

She returned to being the kind old lady she once was.

"Okay, I'll do as you say," Jiang Nan smiled at the old lady.

I didn't expect that this old lady was such a dramatic person.

"I can tell at first glance that you haven't changed," Old Madam Ning said meaningfully after taking a sip of tea.

"Whether it changes or not, things and people are no longer the same."

"Okay, I have something else to do so I'll take Rou'er and leave first."

"Well, I'll send someone to deliver Yurou's jewelry to your house when the time comes."

Jiang Nan stood up and walked Madam Ning and Ning Yurou to the door of the private room.

At this time, only Madam Jiang Nan, Madam Li and three others were left in the private room.

"Nannan, did you know that this Linglong Pavilion was originally Zhou'er's mother's dowry shop?"

The old lady sat there with a distant look in her eyes, as if she was recalling something.

Jiang Nan was stunned when she heard this. No wonder the old lady brought her here.

"Then how did it end up in Xu's hands now?"

Jiang Nan was puzzled. As far as she knew, a woman's dowry would be left to her children.

It is also a despicable thing for the husband's family to seize a woman's dowry.

"This is also my fault. At that time, I didn't like to manage the affairs of the harem. I liked to travel around with Zhou'er's grandfather. After Zhou'er's mother died, Xu took advantage of our absence and sold all of Zhou'er's mother's dowry and took it for herself."

"When we came back it was too late and we couldn't find any evidence."

The old lady had a look of self-blame on her face and her eyes were full of regret.

"Zhou'er's mother was a lady of many years!"

When she said this, the old lady's eyes turned red.

"It's all in the past. Don't think too much about it. It's not your fault."

Jiang Nan comforted Madam Gu softly.

From these words, it was not difficult for Jiang Nan to hear that Old Madam Gu must have been blaming herself for not protecting Gu Yanzhou's mother all these years.

But she just happened to be out, so what was wrong with that?

Just because I couldn't stop it?

Does Gu Yanzhou know that the old lady has trapped herself in self-blame?

Nanny Li, who was standing by, also thought of the good person in the past and secretly wiped away her tears.

"Grandma, Xu will be here soon. You don't want her to see you like this, do you? Wipe your tears quickly."

Jiang Nan stepped forward and wiped away the tears from the old lady's eyes, then changed the subject.

"Yes, she must not be allowed to see it," the old lady immediately sat up straight and cheered up when she heard it.
