Chapter 784: Opening of a Branch

"Master, you said the emperor wants to reward you? Then why didn't you accept the reward? Isn't it better to get promoted?"

After returning to his residence, Shen Hechi talked about this matter with the servant who served him.

The servant asked with a puzzled look on his face.

He didn't understand why his master didn't just climb up the ladder. He knew how difficult it was to get promoted. But his master just didn't want any reward. How stupid!

But he didn't dare to say this and could only complain silently in his heart.

"What do you know? Even if you reward me, it's nothing more than a promotion. What's the difference from now? I will still be a shrewd person. What I want is to let the emperor think that I don't seek fame and fortune, but only want to serve the court. You wait and see. I will submit this plan. If it succeeds, let alone promotion, I will have everything I want. I, Shen Hechi, am destined to be in a high position!"

Shen Hechi didn't want to say anything more to him.

If he wasn't so happy, he wouldn't even bother talking to the servant.

As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his right hand forward, and the servant left on his own accord, not forgetting to close the study door.

Shen Hechi stood in front of the window, looking outside, his eyes a little dazed.

He murmured unconsciously: "Fubao, are you doing well now? Wait for me, wait for me, it will be soon..."

After Shen Hechi arrived at the imperial city, many young ladies from aristocratic families showed their courtesy to him. Especially after he often went in and out of the palace, there were even more people who wanted to win him over. Even his top boss arranged a family dinner the day after tomorrow and invited him to attend.

Shen Hechi knew it without having to guess.

I am afraid that one day, his marriage will be mentioned again.

This boss just happened to have a second daughter of the right age.

Shen Hechi's eyes gradually became clear.

The corners of his mouth, which had originally curled up when he thought of Jiang Fubao, completely turned down.

He turned back to the desk, opened a thick booklet and read it carefully.

There were densely written words on it, all of which contained information about the officials in the imperial city. Not only their personalities and preferences were included, but even their family situations were clearly written.

Even the number of dogs in the house was written down.

"Oh, it's finally open. That's great. We don't have to go to Qixi County for medical treatment anymore. My wife's illness can only be cured by taking the medicine prescribed by Dr. Jiang. I don't know if Dr. Jiang will stay here."

"Don't believe this news. How can I stay? I will only open here for three days and then leave. The doctors here are all disciples of Dr. Jiang. Their medical skills are probably not as good as Dr. Jiang's. If the disease is not serious, it's okay to see a doctor here. If it is too serious, I suggest you go to Lianshan Town. Who in the world can be better than Dr. Jiang in medical skills? Anyway, I only trust her."

"What? Doctor Jiang isn't here? Forget it, I'm so disappointed. I don't trust his apprentice. He looks so young, not even as old as my son. How can such a small person treat illnesses?"

"Look, the person standing next to Dr. Jiang doesn't even look fifteen years old. Isn't that ridiculous? Is he a doctor?"

"......"

The scrutinizing looks and gossip from people around them made Jiang Kang and Jiang Ning, who were in charge of the Ren Ai Clinic branch, a little nervous. The two of them stood beside Jiang Fubao at a loss as to what to do.

Looking timid.

They all heard it, and Jiang Fubao must have heard it too.

She waited until the firecrackers were all set off, then suddenly raised her voice and spoke.

"Everyone, please be quiet. I want to say a few words. Although I will only be here for three days, my apprentices' medical skills are impeccable. Also, you all know how old I was when I cured the plague. Age is never a problem. If medical skills are ranked according to age, I am afraid I can't even be a doctor now. You have to call me an apprentice..."

Jiang Fubao convinced them with just a few words.

The scene suddenly became lively, and Jiang Kang and Jiang Ning also breathed a sigh of relief.

The two of them officially took over the branch of Ren Ai Medical Clinic. In the morning, they were still a little uncomfortable and busy.

By the afternoon, I will be able to do it with ease.

After staying here for three days, Jiang Fubao took the remaining disciples to another place.

She stayed in each place for about ten days, and including the round-trip journey, it was already winter when she returned.

As a heavy snowfall came, the carriage that Jiang Fubao was riding in stopped at the doorstep of his home.

On her way back, she passed by Chang'an Town and went to see Meng Bujiu on purpose, but she was disappointed.

It was snowing so heavily today, and it was getting late. Jiang Fubao guessed that Grandpa Grandpa and the others must have returned.

As soon as he walked into the yard and heard the familiar laughter, Jiang Fubao's tense cheeks inexplicably relaxed.

"Grandma, Grandpa, Mom, Dad, Aunt, Second Aunt, Sisters-in-law, I'm back——"

Jiang Fubao shouted towards the main hall with all his might.

In an instant, countless heads crowded at the door of the main room. The bodies of the Jiang family members were huddled together, blocking the door of the main room. No one could go in or out, and it looked very ferocious.

Jiang Fubao laughed out loud when he saw such a funny scene, holding his belly.

"Fubao, my dear daughter, you are finally back. Daddy thought you would not be back until after the New Year. Come in and warm yourself by the fire. I am afraid you are too cold. Look, your face is red from the cold."

Jiang Siyin said this in a crying voice. The moment he saw his daughter, tears suddenly flowed down his face.

"Daddy, I'm not cold, it's hot." Jiang Fubao was speechless. Daddy knew there was a charcoal stove in the carriage. How could a person's face be frozen so red? She was too hot.

Daddy loves to tell lies with his eyes open. I'm afraid he will say that she is hungry and thin.

In fact, she gained 5 kilograms.

While she was on the road, she was bored and never stopped talking. She went to various places and ate all the local delicacies. If she hadn't controlled herself well, she would have gained at least ten pounds.

Jiang Fubao had weighed himself on the scale in the space.

As expected, after coming out of the main hall, Jiang Siyin rushed to his daughter and wanted to hug her. However, thinking of his age, he could only look at Jiang Fubao and said, "My dear daughter, you have lost weight. How come you have lost so much weight? Don't you feel full when you eat outside? Daddy is so worried. I will not go out anymore, not anywhere."

"Yes, she's lost weight. Look, there's no flesh on her face. She needs to eat more to replenish her body." Zhang Yanzi continued.

"Someone, come here, tell the cook to kill an old hen and use it to make soup, and then go to the pharmacy to get some nourishing herbs and put them in. Forget it, I'll do it myself." Qian Xile shouted to the maid, but was afraid that the maid might not do a good job, so she went straight to the backyard and jogged, as if Jiang Fubao would faint from hunger if he couldn't drink the chicken soup.

"Sister-in-law, wait for me. My parents recently sent some nourishing food to me. I'll make some for Fubao too." Jiang Tongmu's wife chased after Qian Xile.
