Adhering to the principle of not accepting rewards without merit, Nan Zhi specifically asked Liu Dezhi to take some pastries from the No. 1 Restaurant in the world to inquire.
After noon, Liu Dezhi finally returned.
It was a bit hot, and Liu Dezhi wiped the sweat from his forehead as soon as he entered the room.
"Master, I've asked around. The He family said that Young Master He is thanking you for your advice a few days ago."
The He family did not disclose the specifics of the advice given.
Nanzhi suddenly remembered what she had said to He Xiucheng at the entrance of the county government office.
However, he eliminated this potential problem within a few days, showing that he is a decisive and efficient head of the family.
Since that was the case, Nanzhi accepted the money without hesitation.
She's one step closer to becoming incredibly wealthy—no, closer to becoming the richest woman in China.
After Liu Dezhi left, Nanzhi quietly put the silver into her spatial storage.
This money is very important; you absolutely cannot leave it lying around.
That evening, Nanzhi led Weiguo and Weimin back home.
Wu Nanshuang came forward and took the things that the two people behind Nanzhi were carrying one by one.
"Master bought so much stuff again?"
Nan Zhi shook her head and took a sip of tea. "They were all gifts from others."
The items on the table included fabrics, jewelry, and hairpins.
Wu Nanshuang laughed and said, "There are so many things! Anyone who didn't know better would think this was a betrothal gift!"
Upon hearing this as he entered, Song Hanyan asked, "Who sent it?"
Wu Nanshuang realized she had said the wrong thing and made an excuse to leave.
"Well, Master, there's still water boiling in the pot. I'll go check on it."
Before Nanzhi could react, she quickly went out the door.
Nanzhi was immediately confused as to why she was leaving in such a hurry.
Song Hanyan stared at the things on the table. "Zhizhi, who sent these?"
Nan Zhi: "Oh, I did He Xiucheng a small favor before, and this is a thank-you gift he sent."
As soon as she fell asleep, Nan Zhi could clearly feel the atmosphere around her freeze. Even though it was the middle of summer, it sent chills down her spine.
Is winter coming?
That shouldn't be the case, isn't the beginning of autumn still a few days away?
Looking at the gold, silver, fabrics, and clothing gift boxes on the table, Song Hanyan almost wanted to tear down the other party's house.
"Song Hanyan, what's wrong?" Nanzhi asked.
At this moment, his mood was not very good.
"What happened at the military camp?"
Song Hanyan shook his head, "It's nothing, Zhizhi, let's go to the county town tomorrow."
Nan Zhi asked in confusion, "Why do I need to go? I just got back today." Besides, there's nothing going on at the restaurant right now, so they don't need her.
Song Hanyan hesitated, but seeing his wife's curious expression, he swallowed the words he was about to say.
It's normal that Zhizhi doesn't understand these things.
The next day, Wei Guo and Wei Min drove a carriage, and Song Hanyan brought Nanzhi to the county town.
Nanzhi stood in front of the largest jewelry store in the county town, tilting her head to look at Song Hanyan: "You're not going to take me to buy jewelry, are you?"
Song Hanyan pulled Nanzhi directly into the room.
Nan Zhi held his hand, "Song Hanyan, actually, it's not necessary. This place is so expensive."
Moreover, it contains either gold or silver, or jade. In modern times, gold is measured in grams.
Back when she was just a factory worker, she once bought a gold necklace with a month's salary, but she ended up losing it.
Therefore, whenever Nam Gyi sees glittering gold, she is reminded of the necklace she lost years ago, and feels a great pang of regret.
"Sir, what would you like? Our Jin Yu Fang is the best jewelry shop in the county. Would you like to buy something for your wife, a bracelet or a hairpin?"
As he spoke, he sized up the two of them. Although they were dressed rather plainly, their overall demeanor was unlike that of ordinary people.
Thinking of the things He Xiucheng had sent yesterday, Song Hanyan said, "Hairpins, bracelets, and earrings, all of them must be gold."
The boss's eyes immediately lit up with a smile; what a big customer!
Nanzhi looked at him in surprise, "Song Hanyan, are you... alright?"
Song Hanyan acted as if he hadn't heard Nanzhi speak, and pulled her straight to the most glittering spot in the store.
"Young master has excellent taste. This is our store's prized possession, a carved gold-threaded peony hairpin, a masterpiece by a master craftsman."
Nanzhi: "How much?"
The shopkeeper smiled and held up three fingers. "Three hundred taels of silver."
Nan Zhi immediately pulled the branch from Song Hanyan's hand and gently placed it back on the shelf.
"Well, let's take another look."
She looked at several, but all of them were rejected by Nanzhi.
"Does Zhizhi not like it?"
"How should I put it?" Nan Zhi thought for a moment, "Too expensive."
She has to think twice about anything that costs more than fifty taels.
If she were to spend money lavishly, she would want to become rich overnight.
Song Hanyan: "Zhizhi, don't be afraid, I have money."
As he spoke, he pulled out five one-hundred-tael silver notes from his lapel.
Nanzhi quickly told her to put it in, but the boss still saw it.
The boss's gaze softened even more as he looked at them.
Nanzhi...
Finally, thanks to Nanzhi's intervention, they only spent two hundred taels of silver.
I bought a white jade bracelet and a white jade hairpin.
Looking at Song Hanyan's bare waist, Nanzhi took out another jade pendant.
Nan Zhihua was in pain, but Song Hanyan was visibly happy.
Once outside, Nanzhi asked, "Song Hanyan, where did you get so much money?"
Touching the jade pendant at his waist, Song Hanyan swallowed hard. "It was given to me by the person above."
"Oh," Nanzhi drawled, "Is there anything else?"
Song Hanyan immediately shook his head. He had just received the silver notes not long ago and originally planned to give them directly to Zhizhi, but he did not expect He Xiucheng to send something to Zhizhi.
He took all the money out of his pocket and handed it to Nanzhi.
