"How much do I have left?" When I reached the veranda outside my grandmother's house, I paused. Ever since I was reborn, I knew the importance of money. After I told Lu Ping about this matter, Lu Ping came up with an idea. There are a lot of girls in my house who have good needlework, so I can make them some small toys to sell. I can save some money, but the maidservants use embroidery in the old way, so they can't sell it for much.

"About two hundred liang." After thinking for a moment, Lu Ping replied. I nodded and entered the hall.

Red Jade was standing in the middle of the hall with a silver bowl in her hand. She lowered her head and fed the fish in the lotus flower jar. A group of little girls were standing around and watching her, talking and laughing happily.

"Miss, you're here." "The Old Ancestor sent me out to wait for Miss. I thought that Miss wouldn't come this early and would feed the fish already. Who would have thought that Miss would come so early?" Red Jade smiled with her pair of curved eyes, looking exceptionally charming.

"Elder sister is too kind." I bowed slightly in return, and Red Jade, smiling, helped me into the room.

Hot air rushed out from the house. Grandmother was getting old, so she often felt the cold on her legs every winter. Especially in early spring, when the weather was getting worse, she often burned more charcoal to keep out the cold. Grandmother had not woken up yet. She was wearing a tunic over a small jacket and had a small, loose perch on her head. She was leaning against the bed, talking to Mama Du.

"Grandmother." I stood in front of the brazier for a moment, feeling cold, before I walked up to my grandmother.

"You're here." Grandmother's expression was very relaxed, even a bit happy. By her side, Mother Du also had a very happy expression. She happily gave the seat in front of Grandmother to me and stood behind me.

"Grandmother, are you feeling better?" I stepped forward and shook my grandmother's hand. It was very warm.

Grandmother nodded slightly. "You're quite good." Grandmother reached out and touched the bangs on my forehead.

I pursed my lips into a smile. "Thanks to Grandmother sending Mama Du to bring me food every day."

Grandmother laughed and said, "Why do I hear her say that your reluctance is the boss' everyday?"

I gave my mother a false stare. "Mama!" Grandmother looked at Mother Du, "Don't be afraid, I'll back you up!" The three of us laughed.

"Then are you used to eating candied fruits?" In an instant, he saw the canister of candied fruit on the little gold and mud cabinet in front of Grandmother's bed.

"It tastes good, but it's too sweet. My throat hasn't been so good these days, so I feel uncomfortable eating it." Grandmother turned around and changed her posture. "I'll have to wait until I'm done eating!" There was a rather depressed look on his face.

"I heard it was sent by the Jiang Clan?" Grandmother looked at me.

"He said that the two ladies of the Jiang family personally pickled him." I tugged at my grandmother's quilt.

"The Jiang Clan should pay attention to our daughter. After learning such a good technique, they must have come to capture Young Master." Grandmother mischievously smiled and looked at me before shifting her gaze. "It's not like our house!"

"Grandmother!" I nudged Grandmother and Grandmother giggled.

"Is there anything good about Grandmother?" Grandmother stood up, and I quickly pulled a pillow from the side of the bed and placed it behind Grandmother.

"It's not a big deal." Grandmother smiled. "You're going to add a brother or sister."

"Could it be mother?" My heart skipped a beat. Could it be my mother? Then what should I do about my future plans?

Grandmother shook her head. "It's that Red Dew kid!" Grandmother took her bracelet out of the bed and slowly turned it in her hand.

At the side, Mother Du corrected, "Old lady, it's time to call her Madam Chen."

Grandmother smiled and replied, "Yes, yes, yes. Look at how muddle-headed I am!" It would be better if Aunt Chen was pregnant, and it would make more sense for me to bring it up.

"Grandmother, there's something I want to discuss with you." I looked both ways, and my grandmother understood what I meant.

"All of you can leave now." Hong Yu was sitting on the edge of the brick bed, sewing. She cleaned up a bit before leaving with the little girls by her side. Mama Du helped her grandmother to close the door.

"If you have something to say, just say it." Grandmother's eyes were wide open. It seemed that this child made Grandmother extremely happy. After all, her father didn't even have a son.

"I want to learn how to open a store." There were some things that didn't need to be said in a roundabout way. Grandmother was a shrewd woman, and it would be better to say it directly.

"Why did you suddenly think of opening a store?" Grandmother's expression turned solemn.

I lowered my eyes and curled my fingertips slightly. "Sun and daughter feel safer with money."

The grandmother sighed. "Pity you child." There was a moment of silence.

"It's not that easy to manage a shop." I raised my head to look at Grandmother. Grandmother had agreed. After all, there were a lot of inconvenience for the lady in charge of the shop. This was also the reason for Grandmother's hesitation.

"I have some farms under my name, why don't you help me manage them?" Grandmother was still a little hesitant, as it had something to do with my name. However, if he were to take care of the manor and listen to the steward's report, how would he be able to meet with King Qi?

I shook my head. "Grandmother, although I have learned how to manage Tian Village, in the future, I don't have any Tian Village to manage. If I learn how to manage Tian Village, I can support my own sect."

Grandmother sighed. She still didn't want me to go to the shop.

"Grandmother has to think about her future brother as well." The point stopped there. The eldest son was not the type to be magnanimous like his mother. Even if he grew up in peace, he still might not be able to do anything about it. But in Grandmother's eyes, this was the first grandson, and she loved him just the same.

This was the last straw that broke Grandmother's resolve. "Okay, I'll tell your father about it." Since Grandmother had agreed, there was no possibility that this matter would fail.

"Old lady, the madam and concubine have come to pay their respects to you." From outside came the voice of Mother Du.

"Let them in." Grandmother looked at me and signaled me not to mention it in front of my mother. I nodded slightly.
