1740: please
Fan Chang's eyes were a little red. He picked up the cup and his hands were shaking slightly, but Kong Lianshun looked as usual: "My little sister is really good at drinking. Come on, Brother Fan, let's do it."
With a gentle touch of the wine glass, Fan Chang endured the sourness in his eyes and drank the wine in the glass in one go.
"Come on, eat food, Brother Kong, you run a restaurant. I'm not good at craftsmanship, don't be surprised." Fan Xiaomei enthusiastically served dishes for Fan Chang and Kong Lianshun, and treated people with each other. Naturally, her eyes were circulating, her gestures, and a strange charm naturally revealed.
Fan Chang's eyes twitched slightly, but Kong Lianshun quietly stepped on Fan Chang under the table.
"Young sister's skills are more powerful than the chefs in my place." Kong Lianshun tasted the dish and praised it endlessly.
"Brother Kong is really good at complimenting people. Otherwise, I will go to you where to be a cook tomorrow? I can't stay here for free and eat and drink, I have to support myself, right?" Fan Xiaomei covered her mouth and chuckled.
"Little sister!" Fan Chang looked at her and his voice increased a lot: "What are you eating and drinking for free? Can your elder brother, my dignified general of the Ming Dynasty still make you hungry?"
Sister Fan sat down and smiled and said, "Brother, you can naturally support me, but I can't take it for granted. You will still marry your sister-in-law in the future. You can't keep following you, right?"
"What are these words?" Fan Chang said angrily.
"Brother, don't be angry. I'm the only relative like you. I can eat and drink for free. It's too late to be happy. But as for me, I still want to support myself with my own ability. Don't worry, brother, I haven't suffered any hardships over the years? I haven't done anything? It's not difficult to support myself." Fan Xiaomei said.
Fan Chang felt a bitter sigh, "What does it mean that he is the only relative?" But looking at Fan Xiaomei's expression, he only sighed heavily, poured a glass of wine and drank it dry in one sip.
"It's not a bad thing for my younger sister to do things." Kong Lianshun smiled and said, "But you, you haven't been back for a long time. Daming, there are still many different things from Daqi. You should first get familiar with the situation here and understand what you want to do in the future? Then, with your elder brother and me, no matter what you do, there is nothing you can't do in this Mawangji. Do you think? Don't be anxious, don't be anxious."
"Okay, then I'll listen to Brother Kong, let's take a look first. Think about it, the Ming Dynasty is indeed very different from the State of Qi." Fan Xiaomei said with a smile.
Fan Chang sighed: "Little sister, I'm going to go out next, and it will probably take half a month or even a month to come back. I can't see you for this period of time."
"Brother has business, so he can do it. My younger sister is used to living alone and not afraid." Fan Xiaomei said with a smile.
Fan Chang felt a tingling pain in his heart. The more mature the younger sister seemed, the more uncomfortable he felt. Suffering was a whetstone for growth, but his sister was only seventeen years old, so she became like this, which only made him feel heartbroken.
"Brother Fan is stationed at Ma Wangji, why do you have to go out for so long this time?" Kong Lianshun asked casually while eating the dishes.
"It's nothing. Some time ago, weren't there two hundred brothers retired? The recruits assigned by the above are about to arrive in Taoyuan County. Where do I have to pick up the recruits?" Fan Chang said.
"Taoyuan County is only a few hundred miles away from our Changzhu. Although there is no railroad car yet, the cement avenue has been unobstructed. Why do it take so many days to come and go?" Kong Lianshun asked in surprise.
"A new recruit, you always have to be tempered. Brother Kong thought I would take them as an old man with a carriage?" Fan Chang laughed, "These hundreds of miles are the first hurdle for them to enter the army. If I can't get over it, I will retreat them. If I come from, I will go back there. I don't have cowards under my command."
"You want to fight three hundred killing sticks first!"
"Not counting." Fan Chang shook his head and said, "The real killing stick will only start after they enter the military camp and become my subordinates. This time, it's just a look at their quality. If it goes well, it will take longer if it doesn't go well."
"Although you have taken a lot of soldiers from the Ming Dynasty, they are really hard. When I was in Qi, I never saw them train like you!" Kong Lianshun said with a smile.
"So they can't beat us." Fan Chang smiled and said, "Brother Kong, this time I go out, my sister will ask you to take care of you."
"I just come over to talk to my younger sister when I'm fine. The Ma Wang Ji is so big. Who doesn't know that you, General Fan, live here. Who dares to come and harass you!"
"Good talk." Fan Chang nodded repeatedly: "Tell me more about our Ming Dynasty."
"No problem." Kong Lianshun smiled and said, "But next time, I can only take the time to come, and the people from the Tian family are coming."
Fan Changwei frowned: "They haven't given up yet? Even if the Tian family is powerful, they can't force their purchases, right? Brother Kong, this time I go to Taoyuan County, do you want me to help? Although I am a little slight, General Wang Yun still has face. Besides, the governor of Ben County can't stand the Tian family either?"
"Forget it, your arm can't twist your thighs." Kong Lianshun smiled and said, "I'm interested in this Feng Shui treasure land. Besides, the conditions given to me are not low, and I'm still letting me be the shopkeeper, but I just want to join them under the banner of Tian. Brother Fan, I won't bother you anymore. Whether it's General Wang Yun or the Bin County Magistrate, if they really want to talk, they have no advantage over the Uentian family. Besides, they can't fight hard for me and the Tian family. The Bin County Magistrate has already helped me very much. If he hadn't spoken, the Tian family wouldn't have given me the current conditions, I'm afraid I'd be able to sweep me out."
Fan Chang sighed, Kong Lianshun's words were right. Tian Zhen, the head of the Tian family, was the second-ranked figure of the Ministry of State Security. He lived in seclusion from the number one figure of the Ministry of State Security. Few people recognized him differently. This Tian Zhen was more familiar to the people of the Ming Dynasty. Moreover, the Tian family was the old team of His Majesty the Emperor when he started his family in Shayang. How could they compete with such a family?
"It's a pity that I don't see Your Majesty, otherwise I would have sued him harshly. His Majesty the Emperor could not tolerate them so unscrupulous. There are so many good things in the world and many good restaurants. Could it be that they want to seize the family if they like each other?" Fan Chang said angrily.
"Brother Fan, you can really see His Majesty the Emperor in the future. Besides, it may not be a bad thing if I hold the Tian family's thigh!" Kong Lianshun said with a smile.
"I used to be my own, so I can do whatever I want. I'm afraid I can't help you in the future." Fan Chang sighed.
"One of their big shopkeepers will come here to talk to me soon. I will try my best to get more benefits."
"That's all. This time I go to the county town and ask General Wang to say to the governor of Ben County. If the governor of Ben County says something, it will be of some help to you. At least fight for more benefits." Fan Chang said.
"Thank you then."
