Chapter 726 Opening 2 stores in the Imperial City

The two brothers' personalities are completely different.

Jiang Tongji, who was one year older than Jiang Tongxiang, was studying at Sanshan School.

He must pass the next autumn examination.

As for love between men and women, he has no interest in it.

Previously, many of his classmates wanted to introduce their sisters to him, but he refused.

At the same time, Shen Hechi, who was on his way to the imperial city, saw that it was getting late, so he found an inn to stay in. As soon as he entered the room, someone knocked on the door.

"Who?" His voice was alert.

If you don't use your smartness when you go out, you might lose your life.

"It's me, sir. Someone asked me to deliver something to you." It was the waiter of the inn.

Shen Hechi's face was still tense. He moved closer to the door, looked through the crack, saw the waiter outside, and then opened the door with confidence.

"Who? What?" Shen Hechi rarely speaks when he is outside, and he looks completely different when he is with Jiang Fubao.

It's so cool.

"It's an official from Qixi County, Ruling Prefecture. He said that the magistrate sent him to deliver it. Sir, here it is." The waiter raised the wooden box in his hand flatteringly.

Since the county magistrate could send him something, this gentleman must be of noble status. He looks young, but his aura is intimidating.

"Where are the people?" Shen Hechi took the wooden box and asked again before opening it.

"He has already left on horseback. He must have left the city by the time I went upstairs. We can ride horses in the city at night." The waiter explained.

"Okay, don't bother me anymore. Bring me a breakfast tomorrow morning. Take it." Shen Hechi took out a tael of silver from his arms and handed it to the waiter.

The waiter was overjoyed and quickly bent down, taking the silver while thanking him.

It was just a breakfast, nothing more than a steamed bun, porridge and some pickles, why would it cost one or two taels of silver? I'm afraid the rest was a reward for him.

The waiter's monthly salary was only half a tael of silver, and he suddenly received so much reward money. He was so happy that his hands were shaking, and he really treated Shen Hechi as his own uncle.

"Bang." Shen Hechi closed the door, and the waiter said a few more nice words before going downstairs.

Shen Hechi put the wooden box on the table, sat down and slowly opened it.

Countless silver bills appeared before his eyes.

His pupils suddenly contracted.

By the time he counted the total of twenty thousand taels, his face was so dark that ink was almost dripping out.

You know, he spent nearly 20,000 taels to buy that shop, so Meng Bujiu must have found out everything and is determined to help Fubao repay this favor?

Why should he?

Just because he is Fubao’s brother?

Shen Hechi laughed out of anger.

His dark eyes looked extremely gloomy in the dim room.

The silver bill in his hand was also tightly crumpled into a ball.

This was really a misunderstanding. How could Meng Bujiu know how much money he spent on buying the shop?

It was just a guess. With the idea that it was better to give more than less, he gave exactly 20,000 taels.

"Aqiu--" In the county government office of Chang'an Town, Meng Bujiu, who was sitting in the study reading case files, sneezed. He rubbed his nose, which felt a little itchy.

"Master, are you cold? Let me close the window for you." Lingshan, who was sitting nearby reading a book, asked with concern.

"It's early autumn now, and the nights are a bit chilly. Turn it off, and make me some ginger soup, so I don't catch a cold when I go to Fubao in a couple of days."

Meng Bujiu continued to look through the case files and spoke without raising his head.

"Okay, I'll go right away." Lingshan put down the notebook in his hand and walked to the kitchen.

At this time, it was already very late and the cooks in charge of cooking had fallen asleep.

He personally made ginger soup for Meng Bujiu. Although the taste was not good, the effect was the same.

Meng Bujiu didn't mind. When he was taking the exam before, Lingshan had served him. As long as the poison didn't kill him, he could eat it.

The master and the servant, one dares to endure the pain, the other dares to drink, and they trust each other.

Jiang Fubao, who was being nagging by Meng Bujiu, had not gone to bed yet. She stood by the bed, looking at the paper deeds covering the entire bed with an excited look on her face.

"Xue Huan, tell me, which of these two shops in the Imperial City should I sell? I can't just open two, can you help me think about it?"

Jiang Fubao was a little confused. The paper deed stated the area and approximate layout. Although she had never seen the shop in person, she could guess roughly what it was based on the text.

Both shops have two floors and have a yard, but Brother Bujiu's is slightly smaller, but it has a balcony on the second floor where you can enjoy the view.

The room that Shen Hechi gave did not have a balcony, but it was bigger and could accommodate several more tables.

"Why not take both? Miss, one can open a clinic and the other can sell herbal medicine. This way, they can be separated and there's no need to worry about the herbal medicine being too noisy and affecting the doctor."

Xue Huan bit her lower lip, thought about it for a long time, and finally came to this conclusion.

"Okay, you have a point. Actually, it's not good to sell it. This is the shop in the imperial city, passed down from generation to generation. It was given by Master Shen. Although Brother Bujiu helped me repay the favor, it's not good to sell the shop that he carefully selected. It's really rude. I have no grudge against him. Then let Brother Bujiu sell medicinal food and Master Shen open a clinic."

After Jiang Fubao made his decision, he asked Xue Huan to put away all the paper deeds.

Then I lay down on the bed and fell into a sweet dream.

Soon, the day arrived when Zhang Jinlan had an appointment with the Liu family.

As soon as the sun rose, Jiang Tongtu was pulled up.

Zhang Jinlan specially sent a personal maid to wash and dress him up. She combed his hair with hair oil until it was shiny without a single strand of hair standing out. She then tied up his long hair with a flawless mutton-fat jade crown and changed him into a new set of clothes.

The maid even drew his eyebrows with eyebrow pencil. If Jiang Tongtu had not refused, she would have put rouge and powder on them.

But he is not ugly, he looks much more handsome with simple dressing up.

While having breakfast, even Jiang Fubao was amazed when he saw it.

"Fifth brother is not ugly, he was just too sloppy before. I used to think that he was the ugliest among us brothers and sisters, but I was short-sighted. Fifth brother, you look so handsome today. You must keep up the good work and serve Sister Liu well. If she wants to go east, you must not go west. If she says peach blossoms are beautiful, you must not pick plum blossoms. Do you understand?"

While Jiang Fubao was praising him, he also taught him how to pursue girls.

The brother and sister are used to making fun of each other, and Jiang Tongtu doesn't mind at all.

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you, grandma. When are we leaving?" Jiang Tongtu, who had already slurped down a bowl of porridge, was a little impatient.

"Look how anxious you are. Didn't you not want to come before? Do you think I'm stupid? Only Fubao is always behind you to clean up your mess. Otherwise, do you think Liu Yatou would still want to see you? How can you run away in front of people?"

Zhang Jinlan rolled her eyes at him.

You are so active, what have you been doing before?

Fortunately, my granddaughter saved the situation.

"I was wrong. How could I have known that Miss Liu was so interesting? Fubao is right. Appearance is nothing. It takes soul compatibility. Besides, after looking at her for a long time, I found that Miss Liu is quite pretty, especially when she smiles, hehehe."
