Chapter 435: Slap in the face
no?
Is the county magistrate so gentle?
Who was it that caught the flower-stealing thief, ordered him to be imprisoned and then beheaded, and personally apologized to the patrol?
Who was the one who stole the panties of a woman who had not left her house, was beaten with fifty sticks and sentenced to exile after being caught?
The cold-faced and ruthless county magistrate is so gentle to a little girl!
Oh my god!!
Shen Zhong's jaw almost dropped.
"Fubao, godmother has prepared a gift for you. There is a drugstore in Chang'an Town and Baishui Town respectively. Godmother has bought them and given them to my Fubao. When your clinic opens, if you need herbs in the future, just go to these two drugstores. Godmother hopes that you will have no worries about food and clothing and live a happy life." Dong Qingyi rarely gets Zhang Yang.
The purpose is to support Jiang Fubao.
He even revealed the news that Jiang Fubao was going to open a clinic.
Let these people hear it.
Then she motioned to Yao He to bring the gift.
Then he placed the shop's title deed in Jiang Fubao's hand in front of everyone.
Jiang Fubao was so moved that he almost cried.
"Well, thank you, my godmother." Jiang Fubao hugged Dong Qingyi and buried his face in his godmother's chest.
soft.
hey-hey.
"Okay, don't formalize. It's just a family dinner. Relax. Come on, Fubao, take us in." Meng Zhili also stood up.
He waved his hand.
Those who were saluting also stood up straight.
Only Shen Zhong stood there stupidly.
I don’t know what to do.
Just as Jiang Fubao turned around and was about to go in with his godfather and godmother.
Yao He drove the carriage out of the alley, and at the same time, several other carriages came in.
"Oh, fortunately, I made it. Miss Fubao, I'm here to give a gift to my young master." Lian Shun got off the carriage breathlessly.
He should have come with Kong Yuanbao and his wife.
But there was one medicinal ingredient missing. It came from a faraway province and was only delivered this morning.
By the time the four carriages were loaded, it was already noon.
Lian Shun walked forward and handed Jiang Fubao a piece of paper.
Written on it are the names and quantities of various medicinal materials.
"I wish Miss Bao a happy birthday. My young master couldn't come back in time, so he specially asked me to bring a gift. Hearing that Miss Fu Bao was in need of medicinal herbs, the young master asked me to find all the medicinal herbs in the world and give them to Miss Fu Bao. In addition, this hundred-year-old ginseng was also ordered by the young master. Please accept it, Miss Fu Bao."
Lian Shun held a box in his hand and after opening it, ginseng as long as his arm was revealed.
The guests who had not yet had time to enter were stunned.
"Wow, a hundred-year-old ginseng. I bought a seventy-year-old ginseng for sixty taels of silver. A hundred-year-old one should cost at least a hundred taels, right?"
"Isn't this the servant of the young master of Kong's restaurant? I heard that he took the imperial examination. I don't know if he passed. If he did, he would be a scholar in the future."
"It's more than a hundred taels. Look, there are four carriages full of medicinal herbs. It's really a big deal. These herbs plus ginseng will cost at least five hundred taels."
"Five hundred taels just for a little girl's birthday? My God, the Kong Family Restaurant must be very rich."
"More than that, at least eight hundred taels."
"A little girl is worth this? Could it be that the young master of the Kong family has taken a fancy to this little girl? Tsk tsk, she is good-looking, indeed beautiful."
"Don't you know? Kong's Restaurant has always had a variety of new dishes in recent years. Many people come here to eat here. They make a lot of money."
"......"
Those who were speaking were scattered on both sides.
All the guests of the Jiang family knew about it.
But the Shen family didn’t know.
So, some people applauded, while others complained.
Some people were pointing fingers at Jiang Fubao.
But under Meng Zhili's scrutiny, he shut up.
This is the adopted daughter of the county magistrate!
Who dares to offend?
Shen Zhong was like a wooden man, unable to speak.
The Jiang family next door to him is so powerful, how come he never knew about it?
Just when he was stunned.
Lingshan also came over alone. "I am here to give you a gift." Lingshan stood in front of Jiang Fubao.
He said it loudly with a very good attitude.
"Giving a gift with empty hands? This kid..." Meng Zhili didn't finish his words.
Lingshan took out a stack of banknotes from his sleeve.
Twenty in total.
Each note has a denomination of one hundred taels.
A total of two thousand silvers!
"Wow, so much money, just given away like this? Oh my God."
"Who is this person? I have never seen him before. Whose servant is he?"
"Shut up! This is the servant of the county magistrate's only son. Don't talk nonsense."
"The son of the county magistrate is so kind to his adopted sister? It seems that this little girl will have no trouble finding a husband in the future."
"More than that, you people from Lin County don't know that the father-in-law of the County Magistrate is the headmaster of Sanshan School, Mr. Dong. He is from a family of scholars. I heard that the son of the County Magistrate is also very knowledgeable.
This time, she will definitely make the list of the imperial examination. She still has a long way to go. Oh, I'm so jealous. Even if this girl gets married, her husband's family won't dare to do anything to her. I'm afraid she will enjoy a happy life."
"I heard before that County Master Zhi had adopted a goddaughter, but I didn't know who she was. Turns out it's her. She's pretty."
"......"
The discussion grew louder.
Jiang Fubao never took the banknote.
"This is too much." Where did Brother Bujiu get so many banknotes?
It couldn't be stolen, right?
At this Lingshan Mountain, why didn't they go inside to give the gifts? They had to do it at the door and were seen by their godfather and stepmother.
Finished.
I hope Brother Bujiu won't be scolded.
Jiang Fubao was a little worried.
"Fubao, take it. This money is earned by me. At first, he asked me to borrow some money, saying that he wanted to partner with someone to do some silk trading. I just thought he was joking. If he hadn't said that he would study hard after borrowing the money, I would definitely not lend it to him. It seems that this kid has made a lot of money. Humph, he actually hid it from me."
Meng Zhili whispered a few words to Jiang Fubao.
Jiang Fubao then took the banknote.
"Ahem, Master has something to say to Miss Fubao, I will pass it on for you."
Lingshan's face turned a little red.
He coughed twice and spoke in Meng Bujiu's tone.
"Little birthday boy, are you happy today? Remember to eat longevity noodles. I can't come back, but I miss you. You must accept this gift. I guess you need to buy a lot of herbs to open a clinic. I know you don't like to ask your grandma for money. This money is given by me. You can use it as you like. Don't feel sorry for it.
I wish you a happy birthday and a worry-free future. I will definitely pass the imperial examination. Fubao, wait for me when I come back."
The sound of Lingshan is neither loud nor soft.
But Jiang Fubao heard it clearly.
There were tears in her eyes.
Finally it fell.
"Well, I will wait for Brother Bujiu to come back." She nodded heavily.
He replied with a strong nasal tone.
Meng Zhili and Dong Qingyi looked at each other.
The look in his eyes was somewhat unfathomable.
