Reborn in ancient times: I will make my family rich

Gu Yanzhou raised his head and looked sharply at the plaque of Pingyang Marquis Mansion on the door, his eyes were so deep that it was hard to fathom.

After a while, an elderly maid came over here, followed by the boy who was guarding the gate.

The servant now followed the old lady with his head down, without any trace of the arrogance he had just had.

When the old nanny saw the people outside the door, she quickly walked up to Gu Yanzhou and said to him excitedly with red eyes: "Young Master, please follow me in! The old lady heard that you were coming back and was waiting in the house."

"Well," seeing the old lady, the coldness on Gu Yanzhou's face was lessened a little.

When you enter the Mansion of Marquis Pingyang, the first thing that catches your eye is a wide floor paved with stone bricks.

As you go deeper, you will see exquisite pavilions, lush rockery, and well-arranged flowers, plants and trees, which are so magnificent.

Jiang Nan silently looked at the scenery in the courtyard.

The old nanny led the four people around for a long time and finally entered a remote and quiet courtyard, which was completely different from the scene outside.

One is luxurious and extravagant, the other is extremely simple.

"Madam, the eldest master is here," the nanny reminded the people in the room.

"Here they are, let Zhou'er and the others in quickly," the old lady said with a trembling tone that could hardly conceal her excitement.

"Grandma, your grandson is back," Gu Yanzhou said with a complicated expression after entering the room and looking at the old lady with a head full of white hair whom he had not seen for several years.

"Madam," Jiang Nan stood beside Gu Yanzhou and greeted the old lady obediently.

"Good children, this is the first time that Zhou'er brings a girl to see your grandmother. Come and sit here, grandma," the old lady waved at the two of them and said with a loving face.

Seeing that the old lady was so approachable, Jiang Nan finally put his mind at ease.

"Madam, I came in a hurry, so I prepared some small gifts for you for our first meeting. Please don't despise them." Jiang Nan took the gift from Qingying and placed it on the table.

"Grandma, please try it. Nan Nan's father's cooking skills are comparable to those of the royal chefs in the palace. This is specially made for you. Please try it," Gu Yanzhou opened the pastry prepared by Jiang Nan, took out a piece of pink peach blossom-shaped pastry and handed it to the old lady.

"Okay, this is the first time I've seen such exquisite pastries!" The old lady reached out to take it and put it into her mouth gracefully.

The old lady nodded repeatedly as she took a bite of the pastry; it was sweet but not greasy and very refreshing.

"What great skills! They are indeed on par with the imperial chefs in the palace," Old Madam Gu said with a smile, looking at the two of them with a loving face.

Yesterday, Gu Yanzhou sent someone to inform the old lady and gave her a general account of Jiang Nan's situation.

So when the two met today, Gu Yanzhou did not introduce them further.

"If you like it, I'll bring you more next time."

"Then please trouble our Nan Nan. I fell in love with you the moment I saw you today," the old lady was usually kind-hearted, and she liked Jiang Nan from the bottom of her heart.

This was also the first time that Gu Yanzhou brought a woman back, and he was even happier.

In ancient times, men got married early. If Gu Yanzhou were at this age at normal times, he would have already had children.

Now I finally understand.

Old Madam Gu reached out and took Jiang Nan's hand, and took off an emerald bracelet from her hand. The bracelet was glowing green and was of very good quality, so she put it on Jiang Nan's hand.

"This was passed down to me by my mother-in-law, who asked me to pass it down. Today I will pass it down to you, and you can give it to my great-grandson's wife later."

The old lady held Jiang Nan's hand affectionately and spoke slowly.

"No, this is too valuable, old lady. You can give it to me when you have the chance."

"Just take what your grandmother gave you," the old lady raised her hand to stop Jiang Nan from taking off the bracelet.

Gu Yanzhou sat aside holding a cup of tea, and seeing the two of them getting along happily, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

Gu Yanzhou knew what the bracelet meant. The hereditary successor of the Pingyang Marquisate had never been changed, and it was also because of his grandmother that the bracelet was not given to that person's son.

His grandmother had been waiting for him to inherit, and this was also a reminder to him.

"Why don't you two leave? Stay and have dinner with me, an old lady," Old Madam Gu said to Jiang Nan, but her eyes were looking at Gu Yanzhou hopefully.

She knew that Zhou'er was full of hatred in his heart. If she were not still there, he would never set foot in the Pingyang Marquis Mansion.

Gu Yanzhou met Madam Gu's expectant eyes and couldn't bear to refuse, so he agreed.

"Okay, okay, Madam Li, go ask the kitchen to prepare some of Zhou'er's favorite dishes. By the way, Nannan, ask the kitchen to make you what you like to eat."

Old Madam Gu said three good words repeatedly and happily asked someone to make arrangements.

"There's nothing to avoid, old lady, just let someone watch and do it."

"Okay, I'll arrange it right away," replied Nanny Li.

"Wait, make another dish of spicy chicken," Gu Yanzhou called out to Nanny Li who was about to leave.

"I didn't expect our Zhou'er to be so caring," Old Madam Gu teased the two of them.

"Old lady, you only know how to tease the two of us."

Jiang Nan has long been able to keep his face cool because of Gu Yanzhou.

"Grandma, Nannan, you two chat first. I'll be back in a while," Gu Yanzhou spoke to them when he saw that the two were having a great conversation.

"Go!" Without waiting for Jiang Nan to answer, Old Madam Gu looked at Gu Yanzhou and agreed.

"He went to see his mother," Old Madam Gu said quietly after Gu Yanzhou left, her eyes revealing the heartache she could not hide for Gu Yanzhou.

"Zhou'er has a cold temper because of his mother's affairs, but he has good intentions. If you have any problems in the future, you two should communicate well. If he bullies you, come to grandma and she will support you."

"Then I would like to thank you for your support, grandma. Yanzhou is fine, grandma, don't worry."

The old lady told Jiang Nan a lot about Gu Yanzhou's childhood.

Before the accident, Gu Yanzhou's mother was a completely different person than she is now.

The Gu Yanzhou mentioned by Mrs. Gu was a mischievous and naughty kid, a typical naughty child.

Jiang Nan was worried about Gu Yanzhou and listened absent-mindedly.

"Madame Li, take Nannan to meet Zhou'er's mother!"

Old Madam Gu had seen countless people in her life and could see what Jiang Nan was thinking, so she called over Nanny Li who had gone to greet Jiang Nan earlier.

"Go! Child." Old Madam Gu waved towards Jiang Nan.

After Jiang Nan left, Madam Gu sat on the chair and closed her eyes.

"Master, if you are still alive in heaven, please bless these two children to have a smooth life without illness or disaster. Zhou'er has suffered too much!"

She is getting older now, and the person she can't let go of the most is Zhou'er.

A line of tears rolled down from Madam Gu's eyes.

Jiang Nan followed Nanny Li for less than a minute and arrived at a somewhat dilapidated courtyard.

"Miss, the tablet of the young master's mother is enshrined in here for other reasons. Please go!"

"Well, thank you for leading the way, Mammy."

Nanny Li did not go in, but stood outside the door waiting.

This is a separate courtyard in the Pingyang Marquis Mansion. When you push the door open, you will see Gu Yanzhou kneeling in front of the tablet with his back straight.

Hearing the noise, Gu Yanzhou turned his head and looked over, and the two of them looked at each other.

A hint of surprise flashed in Gu Yanzhou's eyes.

"Why are you here?"

"Now that I've met my parents, I have to let my future mother-in-law see that I'm not a good person," Jiang Nan said as he knelt in front of the seat and saluted.

"No matter what happens in the future, I will always stand by Gu Yanzhou, help him, and accompany him. Your spirit in heaven can rest assured!"

Jiang Nan looked serious.

After saying that, Jiang Nan stood up, pulled Gu Yanzhou up, and walked out the door, not wanting him to be immersed in sadness alone for too long.
