Chapter 19: The Min Family

Min Fangqi returned to the mansion, and Mrs. Min Kong greeted her.

"The master is back, tired!" Kong asked gently, Kong is over forty years old, but he is well maintained, his skin is very good, and he looks much younger than his actual age.

"Well, it's fine. Mother, are you feeling better? Min Fangqi asked, the old lady is old, and her body is not as good as before, these days the old lady is a little sick, she can't eat and sleep well, and her spirit is not good.

"It's still like that, I barely ate a small half bowl of rice at noon." Kong Shi said worriedly, "My mother has lost a lot of weight these days, and I have slept for a while, let's wait for my mother to wake up before we eat." "The kitchen has already prepared the meal, just waiting for the old lady to wake up.

"Okay, I'll show my mother when I wake up. Change the recipe to recuperate. Min Fangqi did not object, and was a little worried about his mother's condition.

"Where did the vegetables and fruits come from?" Kong Shi looked at the vegetables and fruits sent by the maid, and was very surprised, the greens were oily and green, very gratifying, and the apples and pears were bigger than usual, fresh and pleasant.

"Didn't you go to Senior Sister Xiao's house today, her family's return gift." Min Fangqi sat down, looked at the fruit in front of him, and ordered, "Come, send some fruit and this chrysanthemum tea to the old lady's room, and take the vegetables to the kitchen to fry and eat." “

The maid at the door replied and divided half of it and sent it to the old lady.

"It's Miss Xiao, this is a good girl." Kong Dao praised, there are not a few gifts received at home, but most of them are valuables, I didn't expect Xiao Ming to send some farm specialties, she knew that Xiao Ming's family was not good, but she didn't send some valuables to cling, but gave this farm specialty, which made people feel very comforting.

"Today, I specially heard that the situation in her family is very bad, the eldest brother and sister-in-law died last year, there are no elders in the family, and there is a nephew, who is also pitiful, I invited her to the pharmacy for a consultation, so that she also has a few taels of silver every month." Min Fangqi sighed, and his words were full of support.

"The master is really kind-hearted, I hope Miss Xiao can understand." After decades of husband and wife, Kong still can't understand where the old man cherishes his talent and has the intention of supporting her.

"Madam, didn't Brother Xiwen say last month that he was going to resign and return to his hometown? Now it's back. Min Fangqi suddenly thought of his friend Wu Tongxuansheng in Guozijian.

"I'm still on the road at this time, what's wrong?" Kong asked with a smile.

"It's nothing, I just want to ask Brother Xiwen if he plans to accept apprentices." Min Fangqi said, "Today I saw Xiao Ming's younger brother and nephew, both of whom are two good children, her younger brother went to school in the township school, and he has read a lot of books at home, his nephew is also good, Xiao Han teaches me to memorize a lot of books, and he writes well." ”

"If that's the case, the concubine thinks Mr. Wu will like it." Kong Shidao, Wu Tongzi Xiwen is a classmate of Min Fangqi, but later Min Fangqi gave up Wen to practice medicine, Wu Tonggang was admitted to the fame and went all the way to Guozi Jian Xi, the official is six products, and the two have a lot of contacts in Beijing.

While speaking, a young man in a brocade robe came in, holding an apple in his hand and gnawing without any image, and he didn't salute when he entered the room, and then directly found a chair and sat down, which shows that the relationship is very good.

"Sister, brother-in-law, I'm back." It was Kong Lin, the younger brother of the Kong family.

"Where have you been again?" Kong said strangely, she can't take this young brother, Kong Lin is an old man, the family is very spoiled, he doesn't like to study and do business, and he doesn't want to get married when he is old, so he hid from the capital to her in order to hide from his relatives.

"It's just to go out for a walk and see where it's suitable for me to open a restaurant." Kong Lin didn't care, and said casually.

"If you really want to open the restaurant here, the location here is not good." Min Fang Qi said.

"It's okay, aren't you here, you take care of the business if it's not good, I'll go back to the capital." Kong Lin didn't care, he didn't have a good talent for reading and business, he had made a lot of money by opening a restaurant over the years, and now he has three branches in the capital.

"This apple is delicious, where did you buy it?" Kong Lin asked, when he first came home, he happened to meet the maid on the road, so he took one to eat, but he didn't expect it to taste good, even there is no apple with such a good taste in the capital.

The population of the Min family is simple, Min Fangqi has an old mother alive, only a son and a daughter under his knees, the daughter is married to the capital, the son is also an official in the capital, has two sons and a daughter, two grandsons are studying in the capital Guozijian, only the little granddaughter Chenghuan is left under the knees, the Min family up to the old lady Min, down to the Min couple are kind and do not pay attention to courtesy.

In the evening, the family, except for Min's mother, who ate alone in the room, the youngest granddaughter Min Yao and Kong Lin sat at the same table, and the family talked and laughed about dinner.

Min Fangqi always felt that tonight was a little different, Min Yao, the little granddaughter who didn't like to eat in the past, was actually eating obediently, and she was especially fond of the green vegetables sent by Xiao Ming, and she almost fought with her wife and brother for the last piece of green vegetables.

"Uncle and grandfather, Yaoyao is the youngest, give me this piece to eat." Yaoyao said coquettishly. The chopsticks hold the end of the green vegetables and try to clip it over. How do you know that your strength is not as good as Kong Lin, and she was robbed by him.

"Uncle and grandfather are elders, and they should respect the elderly." Kong Lin said cheekily. Meimei eats the last green vegetable.

"Humph! Uncle and grandpa are bad people, ignore you. Min Yao pursed her mouth angrily, her face full of unhappiness.

Min Fangqi and his wife looked at the scene in front of them and laughed, they didn't expect the green vegetables sent by Xiao Ming to taste so good, which caused the two to fight non-stop, and the two of them couldn't help but eat a few more chopsticks, but they abided by etiquette and couldn't do anything to fight.

Old Madam Min's eldest girl, Biting, came in with a happy face, "Old lady, the old lady has an extra bowl of rice for dinner." The old lady said that the green vegetables tasted very good tonight, so she made them tomorrow and sent them. ”

"Okay, okay, mother likes to say okay, let the kitchen do it tomorrow." Min Fangqi said happily that his mother was able to eat an extra bowl of rice, and he had to thank Xiao Ming.

"Sister, where did you buy this dish, it tastes so good, I will use these dishes in the restaurant in the future, and it is good to keep the business." Kong Lin said, this taste is really good, even the chef in the Beijing restaurant can't fry such a good dish, if his restaurant launches such a dish, then his business can go to the next level, and he is sensitive to smell the infinite business opportunities inside.

Kong pursed his lips and smiled: "I can't buy this, it was given by your brother-in-law's junior sister." "A dish was eaten by Kong Lin and Min Yao.

"Really, then I'll buy it tomorrow." Kong Lin said excitedly.

After the meal, I heard that the chrysanthemum tea sent by Xiao Ming was delicious, Kong Lin cheekily took a bag away, and took a lot of fruit by the way, Min Yao said that she wanted to beautify her face, and she begged for a bag of coquettishness, and even her old wife said that she couldn't sleep well at night to drink chrysanthemum tea, and the old lady actually sent someone to eat after the meal, and took the last bag of tea.

Min Fangqi looked at the empty basket and wanted to cry without tears, what excuses did he find, he ran hard, he didn't even leave him tea foam, and he hadn't tasted the fruit yet.
