The group went out in one carriage, but returned in four carriages.
The carriage stopped at the Jiang residence, and Jiang Shan came out of the house to greet him.
"Sir, why are you back so late? I thought you were going to stay overnight on the mountain!"
Mr. Xunmei got off the carriage, shook his head, and his expression was somewhat indescribable.
Several children got off the car one after another, each with a unique and interesting expression on their face.
The old patriarch of the Fu family handed the fast-sleeping Jiang Huai to Fu Qiyuan and waved his hand, "Children, let's get started!"
After he finished speaking, the children silently ran to the carriage at the back and carried the things from the carriage into the house.
After about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, everything on the cart was finally moved to the warehouse.
The children boarded the carriage again and were taken to the bamboo hut by An Yi along with Mr. Xunmei.
Jiang Shan stood at the warehouse entrance, looking at the various gift boxes that filled half the warehouse, and slowly turned his head to look at the old master of the Fu family.
"Grandpa Fu, this is obviously something you did. Aren't you going to tell me about it?"
Old Master Fu rubbed his hands and chuckled, "Grandpa Fu didn't do anything, it's just... other people's granddaughters have beautiful clothes to wear, pretty jewelry to wear, and endless ginseng, deer antler, bird's nest, shark fin and the like. Our Shan'er can't be left out! This place is poor, and even ginseng that's over a hundred years old isn't of good quality. When we get back to the mountain, hehe, Grandpa Fu will find you a 500-year-old ginseng king to make soup for you!"
Jiang Shan felt a burning sensation in the most tender part of his heart, as if scorched by a candle flame.
She skillfully concealed her inner turmoil, saying half-jokingly and half-seriously, "Grandpa Fu, I know you like Jiang Huai very much and value the relationship between me and Fu Xian. But you can't accept something without doing it right! Ah, if I accept these things, my conscience will hurt!"
The old patriarch of the Fu family stopped laughing and said seriously, "I don't like hearing you say that. Putting aside the fact that you almost lost your life to give birth to Huai'er, is it wrong for me to like you and want to treat you well?"
After saying that, he gave Fu Qiyuan a deep look and said, "Grandpa Fu's grandson is good-for-nothing. He doesn't have any decent parents to stand up for him, and he doesn't know how to please girls. If he ever wrongs you in the future, please forgive him for Grandpa Fu's sake! Grandpa Fu just wants to see his eldest grandson marry a wife as soon as possible. Good girl, please don't refuse anymore!"
Fu Qiyuan's eyes flickered slightly. He touched his nose and stepped aside, wisely playing the role of a good-for-nothing grandson.
Jiang Shan thought to himself, "This old man knows how to handle things! Compared to him, Fu Qiyuan is simply no match!"
Thinking about it that way, it makes sense! Fu Qiyuan was separated from his biological parents from a young age, and his relationship with them wasn't very close, but he got along very well with this grandfather.
Old people, that's all they think about. They're single-mindedly focused on their children and grandchildren; they've really gone to great lengths for them!
Thinking of this, Jiang Shan couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth and said generously, "Since Grandpa Fu has said so, I will shamelessly accept it!"
The head of the Fu family nodded happily.
Jiang Shan couldn't help but ask, "Grandpa Fu, you didn't bring all your belongings from Qingcheng Mountain with you, did you?"
The old patriarch of the Fu family was taken aback, then burst into laughter: "You underestimate your grandpa Fu! Qingcheng Mountain is full of treasures. You'll know once you have the chance to go up the mountain!"
Fu Qiyuan leaned closer to Jiang Shan and whispered, "Grandfather has a lot of money; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that the Fu family owns a mountain of gold!"
Jiang Shan silently remembered those words, thinking to himself that he couldn't try to save money next time he gave a holiday gift!
Jiang Shan finally experienced what it felt like to become rich overnight!
The dazzling array of jewelry was something Jiang Shan had never seen before. Every piece was exquisite and could be passed down through generations. There were five boxes in total, and if she were any more frail, she really wouldn't have been able to carry them all.
All sorts of fine silks and satins and precious furs are things that only nobles are worthy of wearing, and she has box after box of them!
As for those supplements that she couldn't afford even in modern times, there were three large boxes full!
There were also valuable antiques and jade artifacts. Although she couldn't understand them, it didn't stop her from appreciating them... The amount of the silver notes marked on the invoice.
In this era of barter, everything here could be exchanged for cash, and she became incredibly wealthy!
Fu Qiyuan looked at Jiang Shan with eyes full of doting affection, his eyes brimming with barely concealed glee and smugness. He took the opportunity to pull her slender waist into his arms and said with a gentle smile, "This is just the tip of the iceberg. If you ever decide you don't want to run the shop anymore, I'll take you back to Qingcheng Mountain. You'll definitely love it there."
Jiang Shan thought of those modern internet celebrities who live in the mountains and fields. She had once envied such a peaceful and idyllic life, but now she could achieve it in a minute if she wanted to.
"Are you really willing to resign from your official post and live with us in the countryside?" Jiang Shan asked, tilting his head.
Fu Qiyuan gently stroked her soft, boneless palm and said, "The fame and fortune I once longed for were nothing more than so that the people I care about could live the life they wanted. Now that you are all by my side, as long as you are happy, what does it matter if I live a simple life in the countryside? You won't look down on me."
A thought flashed through Jiang Shan's mind in a flash, so fast that she couldn't grasp it in time. By the time she wanted to find out more, Fu Qiyuan had already led her out of the warehouse.
It was already quite late when the two returned to Jiang Shan's room. Jiang Huai was snoring softly, his hands raised high above his head, fast asleep.
Fu Qiyuan sat down on the edge of the bed, wiped the drool from the corner of Jiang Huai's mouth, and gently put his little hand under the blanket.
Jiang Huai was dreaming about something, and he mumbled a sentence, which could be faintly heard as "Mama, Daddy."
Fu Qiyuan's eyes were so tender they could melt water, and he reached out to gently stroke Jiang Huai's rosy cheeks, reluctant to let go for a long time.
