Chapter 433 Welcome
"My dear granddaughter, you look so beautiful today, prettier than peach blossoms. In the blink of an eye, you are already eight years old. Time flies so fast. Grandpa is not too late, right? Here, open the birthday gift for you and see if you like it. Grandpa wishes you good health, growing up well, and living in peace 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 whom he had an ordinary relationship, Jiang Fubao would definitely not open it and read it.
After all, it's too rude.
But he is her godfather, a family member, so it doesn’t matter.
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 not fake.
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 Grandpa Gan 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 circulated.
"As long as Fubao likes it, grandpa thought you didn't like it." Dong Wei felt relieved.
Little girls all love clothes and jewelry.
He sent medical books.
My old friends laughed at me for a long time.
"Master, you are just worrying about nothing. You put a lot of effort into getting these books. You owe a lot of favors to others for this." Grandma Rong saw Dong Wei's expression clearly.
she teased.
"Shh, don't talk nonsense. I didn't spend any effort at all. Just relax, Fubao. This is a gift for you. You can do whatever you want with it. You can even use it as firewood." Dong Wei would never admit it.
He was afraid that his granddaughter would think too much.
Explain quickly.
Jiang Fubao broke out in a cold sweat.
This is an ancient book!
Don't talk about it here.
Even if it were taken to Hyundai, it could still be sold for tens of millions.
Let her use it to burn firewood?
Grandpa Gan is really awesome.
She's almost been spoiled into a spoiled brat.
"Brother Dong, please go in and sit down first. It's so tiring to stand at the door. Fubao, send 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 came one after another, and 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 just happened to meet Jiang Fubao who was about to go back to the door.
"Oh, little Fubao, you are so beautiful today. I thought you were a fairy from somewhere, descended to the earth. Come here, come here, auntie will give you something."
As Wan Xian was speaking, the maid beside her stepped forward and opened the wooden box in her hand.
Inside was a fine jade bracelet.
White with a hint of 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 personally.
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, just like it was tailor-made for her.
"Thank you, godmother. I like it very much." Jiang Fubao actually changed his tone.
This is what my godmother called me.
Wan Xian's eyes widened.
"Oh my dear, godmother has heard it. My dear Fubao, when Mingxue comes back, we will hold a godmother banquet!"
Wan Xian couldn't stop smiling, and she hugged Jiang Fubao.
He called out "darling, darling".
The reason why Fubao called her godmother was because he was certain that Mingxue would pass the imperial examination.
Wan Xian was of course happy that her own son was so favored by Fubao.
Kong Yuanbao on the side pretended to cough twice.
There was no smile on his face and his eyes were looking around.
But there were always a few moments when his mind swept over Jiang Fubao.
Jiang Fubao understood immediately.
"Godfather~" The word "godfather" 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, godfather is here. Come, use it to buy some candy." Kong Yuanbao's purse was bulging.
As soon as I heard the sound, I knew that it was 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. Can you sit with godfather?"
Jiang Fubao tied the purse directly around his waist.
The waist chain was almost broken due to the heavy weight.
After leading the two over, Jiang Fubao chatted with them for a while before leaving.
She took Xue Huan with her and quietly hid in a corner.
Open the purse and take a look.
"Wow, there is gold." After a rough calculation, this place is worth at least more than one hundred taels of silver.
It’s worth calling you godfather!
Jiang Fubao's eyes were curved with laughter.
A real money-grubber.
"Xue Huan, put the purse 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 tie it around your waist.
Jiang Fubao handed the purse 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 servants martial arts.
The alley was not wide, and horse-drawn carriages 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, welcoming guests just like Jiang Fubao.
However, the Jiang family had many guests and the house was full of distinguished guests.
Only three or five people from the Shen family came here one after another.
They are all my relatives.
The horse-drawn carriages and ox-drawn 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 here for a banquet just for a small food shop? It's really strange."
Shen Zhong was a little surprised.
Snack shops only make 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.
There were eight tables in the yard, but not even one was full.
"Master, you are not often in Lianshan Town, so you don't know that I passed by the snack shop opened by the Jiang family once before. The line in front of their shop was so long that they must have made a lot of money. The old woman standing at the door was called Zhang, and she was 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. But there are still many people flattering her. They probably want to eat the food at the banquet. After all, the business is so good, the food must be delicious. Look at the sun, it's still early to noon, and they are so greedy, tut tut. "
