He didn't want to show off his wealth, but mainly wanted to tell his father-in-law and mother-in-law about his financial strength. Even in modern times, he could support Qiu Ze and his biological mother and stepfather, and would not become a burden to Qiu Ze.
Lan An first took his father-in-law and mother-in-law to visit the collections in the warehouse and the gifts originally prepared for them.
The two elders looked at the room full of porcelain, embroidery and jade... and suddenly they were a little speechless. Their youngest son had said that Lan An had prepared a room full of gifts for them, and at that time they just thought that their son was trying to show off for Lan An.
But unexpectedly, all the gifts in the room were real; and at this moment Lan An was still saying that he would ship all of them back when it was convenient.
To be honest, the two elders were a little tempted, because these things cannot be bought with money in modern times.
But Mr. Chu felt that he could not lose his integrity, so he refused with righteous indignation.
Lan An was delighted. He could see that the two elders liked the gifts very much. However, he did not force them to give him gifts. He planned to give them two gifts at intervals in the future so that they would be given away eventually.
After touring the warehouse, before the two elders could put away their surprised looks, Lan An opened the secret room of the warehouse.
"Uncle and aunt." Lan An lit the candles in the secret room. "These are all the assets I can use at the moment. I will only keep a portion as a start-up fund, and the rest will be handed over to Qiu Ze to manage."
Father and Mother Chu were stunned when they saw the secret room filled with gold.
This is a real fucking vault!
Is this the home of some corrupt official?
For a moment, the two elders' eyes changed when they looked at Lan An. With so much gold, could it be obtained by exploiting the common people, being corrupt, and accepting bribes?
If we are not from the same family, we won’t enter the same door!
The questioning looks in the two elders' eyes were exactly the same as Chu Qiu Ze's.
Lan An laughed, "Uncle and aunt, there is a huge gold mine in Dahan, and my brother has asked my people to mine it. In addition, I won a few battles in the past few years, and my brother gave me a lot of rewards. I also did some business and made a lot."
It is not surprising that there are gold mines. After all, in ancient times, all metal was controlled by the government, so the royal family could not be poor.
However, his business acumen made businessman Mr. Chu look at him with a higher regard.
In ancient times, people valued agriculture more than commerce, and merchants were considered the lowest class. Children of officials had to do business secretly, or else the business would be registered under the name of servants or relatives.
When ordinary businessmen have money, they will go to the village to buy a farm and change their household registration to agricultural.
It can be seen that businessmen are really not considered respectable in this society.
Royal relatives like Lan Euan who do business in an honest manner are truly courageous.
However, he changed his mind and realized that Lan An was a prince after all, and it was said that he was also the regent of the old emperor. Generally speaking, no one dared to say anything.
"Uncle." Lan An clasped his fists and bowed, "I have an unwelcome request, I hope uncle and aunt will fulfill it."
The two elders looked at each other, and Father Chu helped Lan An up, "Tell me what happened first."
Mother Chu sighed, "If it's for you and Qiu Ze, then there's no need. We don't object to you being together, we just want to get to know you better first."
His father-in-law and mother-in-law had no objection, which was a pleasant surprise for Lan An today. He believed that with his own efforts, he would be recognized one day.
"Uncle, what I want to talk about is not about Qiu Ze and me." Lan An said sincerely, "I love Qiu Ze, there is no doubt about that. I believe that uncle and aunt will see my sincerity in the future."
With his attitude, the two elders had no choice but to agree even if they didn't want to. They couldn't do anything that would go against their will.
"So what's your matter?" Mr. Chu softened his tone unconsciously.
Lan An bowed again, "Uncle, I will live in the 21st century in the future, so money is indispensable. So I want you to help me sell some of this gold."
In this way, he won't have to spend Qiu Ze's money every time he goes out there in the future.
Even though the two of them were inseparable and their money didn't need to be divided so clearly, he was also a good man, so why did he keep spending his wife's money?
Apparently, Mr. Chu had also thought of this and was very satisfied. He thought for a moment and said, "You don't have to sell it. You can mortgage it to me and I'll give you the money. When you make enough money in the future, you can redeem it."
Lan An was about to object when she was stopped by Mother Chu.
"If you just need it for living, it doesn't matter if you sell some of it." Mother Chu explained, "But there is too much gold in your house. If a large amount of gold flows into the market, it will not be a good thing for us."
Lan An was silent. Does this mean that his previous plan has failed? What should he do?
Father Chu thought for a moment and said, "If you and your family are willing to stay in Dahan, then I will find a way to help you solve your ID card problem."
By then, Lan An will have a legitimate identity, and using the gold as collateral with Father Chu will be the most appropriate way to use money to make money.
Lan An was not an inflexible person. As long as he had the capital, he believed he could make money and then return double the money to his father-in-law.
As for redeeming the gold, he had never even thought about it. He was going to give it to Qiu Ze anyway, so it would be the same if he gave it to his parents.
"In that case, I would like to thank my uncle and aunt in advance." Lan An bowed.
His courtesy is impeccable.
Both Mr. and Mrs. Chu had plans in mind.
They got along quite well here, strolling around for the whole afternoon, and now returned to the living room to have tea and rest.
Chu Qiuze's classes are still going on, but he seems a little absent-minded today.
What I kept thinking about was how my parents and her husband got along, and whether there were any conflicts.
The prince also noticed it. He was very sensible and completed the classroom exercises assigned by his master seriously. Then he proposed to return to the palace early today.
The reason is that he still has political affairs to attend to.
Chu Qiuze understood and assigned him a few more homeworks. "Then you can go back. Tomorrow is a day off. You can teach your study partner what you have learned. Otherwise, he may not be able to keep up with our class progress. You can use this opportunity to consolidate your knowledge."
Yes, the young prince is now in charge of the country and is very busy with government affairs. He has to take one day off after every two days of classes to deal with the pile of memorials and government affairs.
This was agreed upon when I became your disciple.
The young prince bowed and said, "Please remember Master's teachings. I will go back first."
Chu Qiuze nodded and let him leave.
Looking at the little prince's leaving back, Chu Qiuze suddenly thought a lot.
The little prince and Lan An were both raised by the old emperor, who was also a wise ruler. Under this influence, the little prince and Lan An both had very good temperaments.
At least, he treats people very well.
Thinking of this, he suddenly stopped worrying about the relationship between his parents and Lan An. Even if his father had a bad temper, wasn't there his mother, a gentle person, to mediate between them?
But this did not prevent him from speeding up his pace back to the main courtyard.
As soon as he entered the door, he heard his father's heroic laughter and the voice praising Lan An.
Chu Qiuze: “….” What kind of magical development is this?
He had been worried the whole afternoon, but when he opened the door, he saw his parents chatting and laughing with Lan An.
Although this development direction is good, it is also the result he wants.
But I always feel that this progress is too fast?
When Lan An saw him come in, she immediately walked over, closed the door for him, and pulled him back to sit on the sofa.
"Thank you for your hard work." Lan An poured another glass of water for Chu Qiuze, "Drink some water to moisten your throat."
Chu Qiuze took it and drank it in two gulps.
Father Chu and Mother Chu looked at each other, their faces filled with relief and a hint of auntie smile.
After observing for an afternoon, I found that this prince is indeed a good person. He always puts his silly son first in everything.
Moreover, Lan Euan did not look like a royal looking down upon the world as they imagined.
He really looks like an ancient nobleman, the kind with good knowledge and insight.
"Mom and Dad." Chu Qiuze slowed down, "What did you talk about today? Have you finished touring the palace?"
"We're done with the tour." Mother Chu smiled. "The scenery of this palace is much better than the modern ancient town scenic area. I want to live here for a while."
"If uncle and aunt don't mind, then you can stay." Lan An would not miss such a good opportunity to improve their favor.
Although his palace is not as convenient as modern ones, it is definitely not bad.
Anyway, I'm not staying here permanently, so just treat it as an experience.
The two elders really thought about it seriously. After all, they are retired and have indeed traveled around in recent years, fulfilling their youthful dreams of traveling around the world with swords.
They dare to visit all over the world, at home and abroad, even to war-torn countries.
The only thing I never thought was that I would have the opportunity to travel back to ancient times in this life.
After a moment, Mr. Chu thought about it and said, "Let's wait until after the New Year."
Before the New Year celebrations for those institutions, we should first sort out the household registration for Lan An's family. Otherwise, they will be unregistered and it will be inconvenient to do anything.
Mother Chu also had a plan. She knew that Dahan's medical skills were poor and it had nothing to do with her originally. But now that she knew her younger son's mission, she, as a mother, had to do something.
Previously, she heard from her eldest son that he wanted to compile a book that combined Chinese and Western medicine for Dahan, but she still felt bad for him as he was so busy managing the company every day.
Since she was free, she decided to take care of this matter herself.
The two elders did not hide anything and told the two of them their plans directly.
Lan An was happy, but what made him happy was not what his father-in-law and mother-in-law did for Da Han or what they did, but that they were willing to accept him.
Chu Qiuze obviously thought of this question. Did his parents soften so quickly? Did they get dealt with by Lan An so quickly?
With that said, he would have no place to vent his tears and make a fuss.
Thinking about it makes me a little excited.
Chu Qiuze was originally an optimistic and straightforward person. He immediately rushed to the two elders and said, "Mom and Dad, I love you so much."
Looking at his condition, what can the two elders do to him?
Now that everything had been discussed and the time was almost up, they prepared to return to the modern world.
But when he left, Mr. Chu carried a huge box of things.
"What is this?" Chu Qiuze was a little curious and even wanted to open it and take a look.
Father Chu turned his body to avoid Chu Qiuze's hand that was about to touch the box, "This is a gift from my daughter-in-law. Is it not okay?"
Okay, this is simply too good! Especially the word "daughter-in-law", Chu Qiuze was overjoyed.
Although he put himself in the position of a bottom from the beginning, which bottom doesn't have the dream of becoming a top?
Chu Qiuze knew all the things in the warehouse, and he had no interest in them at the moment.
"Mom and Dad." Chu Qiuze thought for a moment. At this time, Lan's mother and Uncle Yao should be here. They must meet. "Can I have dinner with Lan An's parents tonight?"
Mother Chu was immediately confused. "Of course we have to have a meal together. Don't you plan to let us meet your mother-in-law?"
Chu Qiu Ze and Lan An, whose thoughts were revealed, looked at each other in bewilderment, not daring to refute.
Return to the villa.
Mother Lan and Uncle Yao were watching cartoons with An Bei. They were obviously stunned when they saw Mother Chu and Father Chu.
"Mother-in-law." Mother Chu naturally put herself into her role. She walked up and held Mother Lan's hand affectionately. "You look really young. How do you maintain your looks? Teach me."
Women, regardless of age or time, cannot escape the question of how to maintain their beauty.
