Chapter 625: The Fang Family Sends Interest
"That's good, Wangyou, don't go to the shop, just stay at home. I've sent someone to the academy to talk to Mingxue. He'll be here soon. When Mingxue is resting, you can go back with him. It's up to you if you don't want to go back. You can live wherever you want."
Zhang Jinlan held her eldest granddaughter's hand and spoke softly.
"Yeah, I know." Jiang Wangyou nodded obediently.
After staying for a while, the Jiang family left and came to the main room to have dinner.
Halfway through the meal, Kong Mingxue came.
After greeting his elders, he went to Jiang Wangyou's house.
The young couple is very much in love.
The Jiang family ate in silence without being disturbed.
After eating, Jiang Fubao returned to his room and drew the design.
The craftsmen will be able to complete the work in one month, but a lot of tables and chairs are missing.
Jiang Fubao drew out the sections of the shop and divided the left side into single rooms, which were specially used for patients to lie down and receive moxibustion, acupuncture, massage, and gynecological examinations.
Each room was tightly covered, unlike the previous screens. As long as one passed by and saw the gap, one could tell who was inside.
On the right is the queuing area, with rows of benches, which she plans to have customized by a carpenter.
The benches are similar to those in modern hospital waiting areas.
There are two tables in the middle, each with a sign on it.
Just like the specialist and general appointments in a modern hospital.
The expert was Jiang Fubao, and the ordinary ones were Hu Lushou and other disciples.
Let them treat minor illnesses and pains.
Jiang Fubao came in person because he was seriously ill.
The second floor still sells medicinal food.
But the side facing the street is made into a private room.
Everything else is the same as before.
The backyard has also been expanded a lot.
There are a lot more rooms, which are enough to accommodate not only the apprentices but also a whole family.
The plaque of Yaoxiangshan Pavilion was replaced with Ren'ai Medical Clinic with the inscription written by Emperor Mingsheng himself.
When making the plaque, Jiang Fubao did not forget to instruct the craftsmen to write the small line of characters on the lower right corner as well.
The money used to buy the shop and renovate it took up more than half of Jiang Fubao's savings.
But she didn't need the money for the time being, so she didn't worry about it.
The next day, Jiang Fubao told the maid to remember to boil medicine for his elder sister. After breakfast, he went to find the carpenter.
When she came back, she passed by Jiang's snack shop and found that the shop was closed. It seemed that her family had gone home.
There was a carriage parked at the gate.
The groom was strange.
Jiang Fubao thought there were guests at home, so he did not go straight back to the second courtyard, but went to the main hall of the first courtyard.
"Fubao, you are finally back. The Fang family sent someone over."
Before Jiang Fubao even stepped over the threshold, Zhang Jinlan spoke.
"Fang family? It's Butler Fang. What do you want to talk to me about?" Jiang Fubao moved her long skirt from outside to inside.
She stopped at an empty seat, but did not sit down immediately. Instead, she asked the person in front of her first.
"The master sent me to deliver the interest from the restaurant. It should have been delivered before the New Year, but it snowed in Jiangnan and the roads were blocked. Plus, it snowed here during the New Year, so it was delayed until now."
Butler Fang was extremely respectful to Jiang Fubao.
The attitude is very good.
After he finished speaking, he opened the box on the table. It was not big, only the size of two palms.
Jiang Fubao thought that there was silver in it, but when Butler Fang took out a large stack of banknotes, she was stunned.
"Is all this for me?" Jiang Fubao asked in surprise, mouth wide open.
"Yes, they are all for Miss Fubao, according to the share that Miss Fubao originally agreed with the master. Please accept these banknotes, Miss Fubao."
Butler Fang hunched his back, with his hands extended forward, his eyes looking at the ground as he moved.
"This is too much. How much money is here?" Jiang Fubao took it and the first thing he saw was the denomination of one hundred taels.
So thick.
Not enough ten thousand taels?
No, maybe it’s more than that, maybe it will double.
"This is the account book. The master asked the accountant to write two copies, exactly the same, one for the master and one for Miss Fubao. I don't know how much there is in it, but Miss Fubao can take a look at the account book and you will know."
After Butler Fang finished speaking, he bowed to Zhang Jinlan and Jiang Shoujia.
Then he continued, "It's getting late. Since the banknotes and account books have been delivered, I should go back to Jiangnan City. I hope Old Master Jiang and the old lady take care of themselves. My wife said she would come visit you when she has time. Miss Fubao, the master said the next interest payment will be sent in half a year, and it will be sent twice a year from now on."
"You don't need to send it so often. Once a year is enough. Tell Lord Fang that we are all family. There is no need to be so formal."
Jiang Fubao simply couldn't spend all of this silver. Jiangnan was far away, and it was a bit of a hassle to send it twice a year.
She shook her head and refused.
"Okay, I will tell the master, but I can't make the decision for the master. The master will write you a letter to tell you what he wants to say. So I'll take my leave now."
Butler Fang left with his back hunched.
The etiquette is very appropriate.
He is worthy of being the housekeeper of a wealthy family.
"Grandma, it's so much money." After watching him leave, Jiang Fubao sat next to Zhang Jinlan and said, holding the banknote.
"Aren't you going to count yet?" Zhang Jinlan replied with a smile.
"One hundred, two hundred, three hundred, four hundred."
After counting for a while, Jiang Fubao's hands were sore.
This amount of money is more than what she has earned in all the time she has been running the clinic.
I checked the statement again and it was indeed accurate.
Not only that, Fang Bo added seventy taels to the extra thirty taels and gave her a whole silver note.
According to the money in the account book, Jiang Fubao took out 10%.
She put the rest back into the box under the bed in the room.
Then came to the backyard kitchen.
"Second sister, I've been looking for you for a long time. Will you cook dinner today?" Jiang Ruyi hasn't been to the clinic since the renovation of Yaoxiangshan Pavilion. Six out of ten times, she cooks dinner at home.
I didn't find her when I entered the yard.
Jiang Fubao guessed that she was in the backyard.
"Yes, I'll make you some flower fish tonight. It's fried until crispy and has a layer of sauce on it. It's sour and sweet, I'm sure you'll like it."
Jiang Ruyi held the spatula in her hand, glanced at Jiang Fubao, and continued cooking.
She has strong wrists.
It's effortless to lift such a heavy spatula.
Jiang Fubao didn't disturb her. She waited until the dish was ready before pulling Jiang Ruyi out of the kitchen.
"Here." Jiang Fubao handed over the banknote.
"Why are you giving me the banknote?" Jiang Ruyi looked at her in confusion.
"You promised Second Sister, have you forgotten? This is the interest from Changshou Restaurant, 10%. It's all here. Butler Fang just sent it to me."
Jiang Fubao rolled his eyes at her.
I actually forgot such an important thing.
My second sister really doesn’t like money.
If this were her, she would definitely be so excited that she would fantasize about it every night before going to bed.
"Oh, so this is it. Oh my god, why are there so many? This is too much. Fubao, just give me one cent at least."
