Chapter 766: Jiang Tongxiang the Flatterer
"Seventh Brother, your grocery store has been fully prepared, and we are just waiting for you to put the groceries in order. Do you want to rest for a few days before you start working on the store, or do you want to go tomorrow?"
After dinner, when the family was chatting, Jiang Fubao approached his second brother and asked.
"Let's go tomorrow. Xinlan and I will get married after the Chinese New Year, so we must open the shop early. I will go to the Liu family tomorrow to visit them, and then I will come to find you. Can you take me to the shop to have a look?"
Jiang Tongxiang said.
"Okay, let's do it at noon. It just so happens that you come to the clinic to eat with us. We'll go after lunch."
Jiang Fubao nodded and agreed.
"Even if it's not possible, the Liu family must keep me for dinner. So, I'll go early and rush to the clinic in the morning, and then you take me to the shop. How about I treat you to a meal at the best restaurant? Just think of it as a reward for helping me repair the shop. What do you think?"
Jiang Tongxiang quickly shook his head, but immediately thought of a way to deal with it.
His sister has helped him so much, so he should treat her to a meal.
Not to mention a meal, he would be willing to treat me for a lifetime.
"Okay, that's settled then. Big brother, you come too. Second brother, your grocery store has received a lot of help from your big brother, you'll know when you see it. The plaques, calligraphy and painting ornaments are all bought by your big brother. He won't buy things that you can write or draw yourself, so it saves a lot of money." Jiang Fubao pulled his eldest brother over.
The three siblings huddled together, talking in low voices.
If you don’t know, you might think they are plotting something.
"Thank you, big brother. From now on, I will obey whatever you say. Big brother, come over tomorrow at noon. I will treat you two to dinner. You can order whatever you want."
Jiang Tongxiang patted his chest and said generously.
"Stop showing off. You haven't started making money yet. You spent all the money on purchasing goods this time. How can you afford to treat us to a meal?" Jiang Tongji rolled his eyes at him.
No one knows his younger brother better than him.
"Well, I still have money for dinner, but don't order too much, or the shopkeeper will have to ask grandma to redeem the three of us."
Jiang Tongxiang shrank his neck, and the landlord's momentum disappeared in an instant.
It was as if a nouveau riche who had just made a fortune suddenly lost everything.
"Oh, that's enough. That's all the three of us can eat. We don't need to go to the best restaurant. Let's just go to the restaurant closest to Fubao Medical Clinic. The food is not expensive, it's delicious, and it's affordable." Jiang Tongji said with a sneer.
"Well, big brother is really smart. You really deserve to be my big brother. You always think of me. With big brother around, I have to eat two more bowls of rice." Jiang Tongxiang flattered mindlessly.
Jiang Fubao was stunned.
Why does her second brother act like a bootlicker to the eldest brother?
She just moved away with a look of disgust on her face and went to chat with her second and third sisters.
The next morning, Jiang Tongxiang got up when the sun just rose. He prepared gifts and took his servant Jiang Qi to the door of Liu's house to visit together.
Both the master and the servant had their hands full.
In addition to the pink sapphire headpiece given to Liu Xinlan, there were also jewelry, rouge and powder, etc. given to the Bai and Li families.
Even the eldest son of the Liu family and the head of the Liu family received gifts.
Li, who originally thought that the two children should not see each other too often before the marriage and did not want her daughter to come out, felt embarrassed to refuse when she saw so many gifts.
Liu Xinlan was called out.
After such a long time, the two finally met.
Jiang Tongxiang had tears in his eyes, and Liu Xinlan's eyes were also watery.
"Why are you standing there like an idiot? Sit down and chat slowly. Tongxiang, did you encounter any danger on this trip? When I passed by that day, I saw that Fubao had already set up your grocery store and hung up the sign. When are you going to open it?"
Lee asked with a smile.
"Aunt, the journey was smooth and I didn't encounter any danger, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to come back safely. Don't worry, aunt. As for the grocery store, I'm going to go check it out with Fubao later to put the things in order, and then let my grandma find someone to find a good day to open the store."
Jiang Tongxiang lied and he encountered more than one danger.
He had fallen into the water, encountered bandits, and was kidnapped by a felon, but the miraculous thing was that there was always an unexpected person who showed up to help him escape.
Apart from Jiang Qi and the groom, no one else in the family knew about this.
He also didn't plan to tell anyone, especially those close to him.
His family would not allow him to open this grocery store.
How can I run a shop if I can’t purchase goods?
An unclear look flashed across Jiang Tongxiang's face.
"That's good. Just come back safely. You're quite smart, kid. You actually thought of opening a grocery store. The name is also very good. What are you going to sell?"
Patriarch Liu put down the teacup in his hand and asked with a stern face.
It’s not that he disliked Jiang Tongxiang, but he himself had a dead face. Except when his two children were born, he had never smiled in his life.
Especially when he thought that his daughter would be getting married in less than half a year, he couldn't laugh anymore.
Jiang Tongxiang suddenly became serious: "I bought a lot of jewelry this time, including various jewelry made of the famous pink sapphire in the county, and a kind of yellow sapphire that has not yet spread here. This yellow sapphire is embedded in the golden stamens, and the flowers are lifelike and very beautiful. I bought 20 hairpins and some rare wine at once.
For example, wine made from grapes, wine made from various sour fruits, and milk wine, including the sun and moon brocade, horse-head shoes, and ingot shoes that shine in the sun. I also bought a lot of small toys for children, all kinds of things. On the day of opening, uncle, aunt, brother Liu, sister-in-law Liu, and Xinlan, you can all go and have a look. If you like anything, it’s my turn, and I won’t charge you any money. ”
Jiang Tongxiang patted his chest towards the Liu family, just like he did last night.
Although he said so, there was no way the Liu family would not give the money.
Not to mention that the two children haven’t officially married yet, even if they were married, they can’t not be given.
They don't want to take advantage of the future son-in-law, and besides, the money belongs to their daughter.
If I give her more, my daughter will have more financial resources.
"Okay, then when you set a date, send someone to tell us, and we'll be there early in the morning." Li took over the conversation and agreed with a smile.
Jiang Tongxiang looked outside and felt that it was time, so he stood up and said goodbye.
The Liu family invited him to stay for dinner.
After being rejected several times, I was finally able to get away.
If we leave any later, I'm afraid we won't be able to get rid of it.
Jiang Tongxiang breathed a sigh of relief.
Go straight to my sister's clinic.
As soon as he left, Bai began to check the gifts.
"Oh, this hairpin, why does it look so familiar? Have I seen it somewhere? No, it's so beautiful. If I had seen it, I would definitely buy it." She said in surprise, holding a yellow chrysanthemum hairpin in her hand.
