Chapter 433 Welcoming Guests
"My dear granddaughter, you look so beautiful today, prettier than peach blossoms. In a blink of an eye, you are already eight years old. Time flies so fast. Grandpa is not too late, right? Here, here is your birthday gift. Open it and see if you like it. Grandpa wishes you good health, growing up well, and living a peaceful life until old age—"
As soon as he saw Jiang Fubao, Dong Wei's old face broke into a smile.
Granny Rong next to her was holding a light-colored wooden box in her hand.
As Dong Wei finished speaking, she handed the wooden box to Jiang Fubao.
If it was someone with an ordinary relationship, Jiang Fubao would definitely not open it and read it.
After all, it's so rude.
But this is her godfather, a family member, so it won't be a problem.
Jiang Fubao took the wooden box and opened it.
The next second, she exclaimed.
"Wow--"
"It's medical books! I like them so much. Thank you, Grandpa. I will definitely read these books carefully." Jiang Fubao's happiness was real.
There are three medical books in the wooden box.
Judging from the degree of damage, you can tell that it must be an ancient book from many years ago.
I don’t know where my grandfather got it from.
You can't buy this kind of ancient book in a bookstore.
It is estimated that some medical family fell into decline, which is why the book was leaked.
"As long as Fubao likes it, grandpa thought you didn't like it." Dong Wei's anxious heart was relieved.
Little girls all love clothes and jewelry.
He sent medical books.
My old friend laughed at me for a long time.
"Grandpa, you're just worrying for nothing. You put a lot of effort into getting these books. You owe a lot of favors to others for this." Grandma Rong took in Dong Wei's expression.
She teased.
"Hey, don't talk nonsense. I didn't put any effort into it. Just look at it, Fubao. It's a gift for you. You can do whatever you want with it. You can even use it to burn firewood." Dong Wei would never admit it.
He was afraid that his granddaughter would think too much.
Hurry to explain.
Jiang Fubao broke out in a cold sweat.
This is an ancient book!
Not to mention here.
Even if it were brought to modern times, it could still be sold for tens of millions.
Let her use it to burn firewood?
Grandpa is really awesome.
She's almost become a playboy.
"Brother Dong, please go in and sit down first. It's so tiring to stand at the door. Fubao, let me take your grandfather in and take a seat!"
Jiang Shoujia said to his granddaughter.
So Jiang Fubao handed the wooden box to the maid.
Helped Dong Wei in.
Granny Rong followed behind.
Always keep your distance.
The guests arrived one after another. The second one to arrive was Kong Mingxue's parents.
Kong Yuanbao and Wan Xian.
The two chatted with Zhang Jinlan for a while at the door and then came in.
I happened to meet Jiang Fubao who was about to go back to the door.
"Hey, little Fubao, you look so beautiful today. I thought you were a fairy from nowhere, descended to earth. Come here, I have something for you."
While Wan Xian was speaking, the maid beside her came forward and opened the wooden box in her hand.
Inside was a fine jade bracelet.
The white is tinged with pink.
Like the morning glow in the early morning.
It also looks like the cheek of a young girl in love.
The bracelet is a little big. After all, Jiang Fubao is only eight years old and is still growing. If the size is just right, she will not be able to wear the bracelet when she grows up.
What a waste.
Wan Xian put it on Jiang Fubao herself.
As long as Jiang Fubao is not too fat when he grows up.
This bracelet can be worn until old age.
The pink and white bracelet matches her outfit today perfectly, as if it was tailor-made for her.
"Thank you, motherfather. I like it very much." Jiang Fubao actually changed his tone.
This shout was from my mother.
Wan Xian's eyes widened.
"Oh my dear, I heard you, my dear, when Mingxue comes back, we will hold a wedding banquet!"
Wan Xian couldn't stop laughing, and she hugged Jiang Fubao.
He called out "darling, darling".
The reason why Fubao called her godmother was that he was sure that Mingxue would pass the imperial examination.
Wan Xian was of course happy that her own son was so favored by Fu Bao.
Kong Yuanbao on the side pretended to cough twice.
There was no smile on his face and his eyes were looking around.
But there are always a few moments when you can sweep away the treasures in the river.
Jiang Fubao understood immediately.
"Fuck daddy~" The word "Fuck daddy" instantly changed Kong Yuanbao's serious expression.
He took out a purse from his sleeve with a beaming face and handed it directly to Jiang Fubao: "Hey! My daughter, your godfather is here. Come, use it to buy some candy." Kong Yuanbao's purse was bulging.
As soon as you hear the sound, you know that it is filled with silver.
Jiang Fubao didn't hesitate at all.
Just took it.
"Thank you, godfather. You are the best to me. Godmother, I will take you two to sit down. You can sit with godfather, okay?"
Jiang Fubao tied the money bag directly around his waist.
The waist chain was almost broken due to the weight.
After leading the two over, Jiang Fubao chatted with them for a while before leaving.
She took Xue Huan and quietly hid in the corner.
Open the purse and take a look.
"Wow, there is gold." After a rough calculation, the gold here is worth at least more than one hundred taels of silver.
It’s worth calling him “fuck dad”!
Jiang Fubao's eyes were curved with laughter.
A true money lover.
"Xue Huan, put the money bag under my pillow. I'm going to go to the front to greet the guests."
The purse is too heavy and it's inconvenient to always wear it around your waist.
Jiang Fubao handed the money bag to Xue Huan.
Then he walked quickly to the front door.
As soon as I arrived, I found that there were many more guests outside.
There are my eldest aunt’s family and my second sister-in-law’s family.
And the shop's regular customers.
And Feng Biao, who often came to the mansion to teach the servants martial arts.
The alley was not wide, and horse-drawn and ox-drawn carts were parked outside the alley.
The Shen family next door also had their door open.
Shen Zhong and Duan Lian'er led Shen Zhu'er to stand at the door and greet the guests just like Jiang Fubao.
However, the Jiang family had many guests and the house was packed with distinguished guests.
However, only three or five people from the Shen family came here sporadically.
They are all my relatives.
The horse-drawn carriages and ox-carts parked outside are all going to the Jiang family.
None of them went to Shen's house.
"It's just a small business across the street. How come so many people come to have a banquet at a small food shop? It's really strange."
Shen Zhong was a little surprised.
The snack shop only makes a few dollars.
Although some of the guests who come from the opposite door are poor, most of them are well-known figures in the town.
For example, the manager of the escort agency, the owner of the restaurant, and many shopkeepers he was familiar with.
Look back at your own home.
Of the eight tables in the yard, not even one was full.
"Master, you are not often in Lianshan Town. You may not know that I passed by the snack shop owned by the Jiang family once. The line in front of the shop was so long. They must have made a lot of money. The old woman standing at the door was Zhang, the shopkeeper of the Jiang family snack shop.
On the contrary, that old man Jiang doesn't care about anything. It's ridiculous that a woman is in charge. Yet there are still many people flattering her. I guess they want to eat the food at the banquet. After all, the business is so good, so the food must be good. Look at the sun, it's still early in the afternoon, and they are so greedy. Tsk tsk."
