Chapter XVIII Invitations
Xiao Ming and Xiao Han are building a grape trellis, Xiao Yu is like a hard-working little bee, watering the space for the fruit seedlings every day, and even the vegetables grown at home are not spared, resulting in the past two months, the vegetables at home can not be eaten, and the small fruit seedlings have grown into big fruit trees, and a lot of flower buds have grown in advance, or they will be able to eat the fruit in a short time.
The grape vines in the backyard grew everywhere, and Xiao Ming and Xiao Han had to put up the shelves. Xiao Han didn't understand these when he was young, Xiao Yu's little bun only knew how to water happily on weekdays, so he counted how many buds grew on the tree and how many fruits he could pick, and the two of them didn't pay attention to the plants at home growing faster than others, they just thought it was a normal phenomenon.
There were exactly four vines, and they were going to erect a stump next to each vine, which they would then use four thick sticks to connect and place small branches on top to form a rectangular shelf. Let the vines grow along the shelf, and then sit under the grape trellis to enjoy the coolness, reach out and pick the grapes to eat, think about it is beautiful, this is the correct way to open the ancient landlord's wife.
But this good wish was interrupted by Maomao's cry.
"Auntie, someone is looking for you." Xiao Yu ran over quickly.
"Find me, who is it!" Xiao Ming was puzzled, did she see a doctor?
"Two old grandfathers." Xiao Yu said.
"I'll go out and have a look."
Seeing the person, Xiao Ming was a little surprised, it was actually Dr. Min from Guangjitang.
"Senior Sister Xiao, I took the liberty to visit, and I was disturbed." Min Fangqi was as he always and called Xiao Ming a junior sister.
"Min Lao's visit to the humble house made Peng Shen shine. Inside, please. Xiao Ming said with a smile. The two people who spoke were nothing, and Xiao Han next to him was extremely weird to this title, one was called Senior Sister, and the other was called Min Lao, isn't this a mess? Xiao Han touched his head, and he was at a loss.
"Senior Sister Min calls the old man a senior brother, but she doesn't look down on someone Min." Min Fangqi still called herself a long to Xiao Ming, a little helpless, the last time they met, she asked her to change her name to her senior brother, but I didn't expect her to be so polite.
"Don't dare, Xiao Ming is not talented, dare to call Senior Brother Min yes." Xiao Ming couldn't, so she had to change her words, you must know that in modern times, Min Fangqi can be her grandfather at this age.
The hospitality hall is in the dining room, and the Xiao family has no extra room as a living room. The hall was simple with only one table and three chairs.
After Lin Bo put the gift on the table, he stood behind Min Fangqi in a regular manner.
"Uninvited, mere courtesy, not respect." Min Fangqi glanced at the gift, which was specially prepared by the lady of the family, and he didn't know if he liked the little girl.
"Senior brother is polite." Xiao Ming glanced at things, two horses of silk, and four boxes of pastries. Silk looked much better than the last time she was in the Spring Rain Cloth Village. I know that it is fine silk.
Xiao Ming called Xiao Han to accompany him, got up and went to the kitchen, the tea was obtained by Xiao Ming from the chrysanthemums planted in the space after drying, and the people who came to see the doctor at home continued to be seen during this time, Xiao Han simply boiled a big pot of boiling water every morning and put this dried chrysanthemum, but he didn't expect it to be popular, and many people asked for a bag to go back.
There was no teacup at home, so Xiao Ming had to use a bowl instead, and she blushed rarely, thinking that she must bring a set of tea-making tools next time she went to the market.
The pale yellow soup exudes the faint fragrance of chrysanthemums, and you will have an appetite when you look at it.
The big bowl of tea was drunk in a big gulp, Min Fangqi was not polite, he just held the bowl and took a sip, the taste was unexpectedly good, and he sighed comfortably: "Good tea." ”
couldn't help but take another sip, and saw that Lin Bo behind him was surprised, his master pays the most attention to etiquette on weekdays, but he is not so unsophisticated.
Min Fangqi put down the bowl before he made his intentions clear, it turned out that he wanted to invite Xiao Ming to Guangjitang for a consultation.
"The junior sister also knows that although there are many doctors in Guangjitang, they are all men. So for my brother, I want to ask my sister to go out of the mountain to solve problems. I don't know what my sister thinks? Min Fangqi asked, explaining the difficulties of Guangjitang.
"As for the monthly money, like Dr. Tang and Dr. Fang, twenty taels of silver per month." Min Fangqi strongly invited Xiao Ming, he also had his selfish intentions, hoping to learn more about Xiao Ming's suturing technique, these days the three of them practiced this method day and night, and it was always not as familiar as Xiao Ming's use of it.
"This 、、、、" Xiao Ming hesitated, she wanted to learn the ancient techniques of practicing medicine to save people, the three doctors of Guangjitang had excellent medical skills, and they encountered many diseases, this is where she wanted to see.
But she plans to send Xiao Han and Xiao Yu to study in the town school, if she also goes out, won't there be no one at home? First, there is some hesitation and I don't know how to make a decision.
"Since the founding of our dynasty, Emperor Taizong has been the lord of the prosperous world, the people are open, and women's travel is not restricted, that is, there are several female medical officers in the palace now." Min Fangqi thought that Xiao Ming was worried that he would be criticized if he showed up, so he explained to Xiao Ming that there were female medical officers in the palace in the capital.
"It's not for this reason, I plan to send my younger brother and Yu'er to the town to go to school, and I will take care of the family, and there are a lot of patients at home on weekdays." Xiao Ming had to explain her reason.
"I see." Min Fangqi said disappointedly, he really didn't want to give up Xiao Ming, a good seedling, so he had to think of a compromise. "That's not as good as this, my sister doesn't have to go to the clinic every day, she just goes to the clinic every Friday every month, and then I let the carriage pick me up, I don't know what to do."
"Okay, if you don't do well, I hope Senior Brother Min will give me more advice." Speaking of this, Xiao Ming no longer refused.
In the end, the monthly bill of five taels of silver was agreed, Min Fangqi bought some medicines, and Min Fangqi was ready to leave.
Xiao Ming prepared a few packs of chrysanthemum tea and a basket of fruits as a return gift, the gift was too thin, and Xiao Han deliberately picked a basket of vegetables.
The three of them and one dog sent Min Fangqi to the carriage, looking at the back in the distance, Xiao Han asked with some apprehension: "Sister, are Yu'er and I really going to study in the town?" ”
"Don't think I don't know what you're doing every afternoon." Xiao Ming said with a smile, knowing well that Xiao Han often used excuses to sneak away to listen to books in Lincun.
"Sister, how do you know?" Xiao Han touched his head, a little embarrassed.
"Yu'er, you will follow your uncle to the town in the future, and come back to teach your sister-in-law what you have learned." Xiao Ming squatted down and stroked the head of the little bun.
"Well, Yu'er will definitely study hard." Xiao Yu Xiaobaozi nodded vigorously, with a confident expression.
"Well, that's good." Xiao Ming couldn't help but kiss Xiao Baozi's face, "Go home, I made money today, and let Uncle make something delicious for us." ”
The three of them and one dog returned home happily, and Maomao jumped on the table early, took a few bites of an apple and ate it. These days, because of the space water, Mao Mao's body has grown a lot, and his height has grown to Xiao Yu's knees. The characteristics of the wolfdog slowly emerged.
Maomao's mouth is also very picky, only eating food made by the space spirit spring, and fruit has become its most, no less than meat, and it eats the most every time.
Xiao Yu screamed, ran over and grabbed the remaining few in his arms, "My apples, don't finish eating." ”
