Great Song Super Scholar

Chapter 42
When returning home, Fan Ning boarded his father's boat, along with his grandfather Fan Dachuan and fourth uncle Fan Tongzhong.

Fortunately, it was not dark yet, and Fan Ning was sitting on the bow of the boat fishing with a fishing line, and his fourth uncle Fan Tongzhong was also fishing with a fishing line on the other side, talking to Fan Ning one after another.

The grandfather Fan Dachuan was sitting in the canopy, dozing off with his eyes closed, but his ears were pricked up, listening to the conversation of the two outside without missing a word.

"Ning'er, how did you know Mr. Zhu?"

"How did I know Daguan Zhu? The host helped invite him here."

"I want to treat Mr. Zhu to a cup of tea, can you help me connect?"

"Fourth Uncle, you have to be more confident. You have already communicated with him today. You can invite him yourself. I support you!"

"Ning'er, there is another important question."

"Fourth uncle, stop talking, ah! I caught a fish."

． ． ． ． ． ． ． ．
After listening for a while, Fan Dachuan finally couldn't help but say a word: "Little cunning!"

After dark, the boat finally moored slowly at the pier in the village. Fan Dachuan was exhausted and went home with the support of his youngest son.

"Ning'er, let's go!"

Fan Tiezhou tied the boat, carried the scull and his son and headed home.

Although Fan Tiezhou was also full of doubts, but he knew his son, if his son didn't want to talk, it's best not to ask.

"You are back!"

Zhang Sanniang heard the footsteps of her husband and son, and hurriedly opened the courtyard door to welcome them out.

"Mother, we're starving!" cried Fanning, seeing his mother.

"There is food and vegetables, wait for it to heat up and eat."

But Zhang Sanniang couldn't care about her son for the time being, and hurriedly asked her husband, "How was the talk?"

"It's settled, the third child has gone back with his father-in-law, and can live in peace of mind."

Zhang Sanniang was taken aback, "Isn't this the same as before?"

"Different!"

Fan Tiezhou shook his head, "The Lu family completely confessed, the two families wrote an agreement, Niuniu changed her surname to Fan, Tie Niu planted [-] mu of land every year, and [-] mu of the proceeds went to Tie Niu, anyway, what a normal son-in-law should have, he will have There is.

The squire, Li Zheng, and Zhu Daguan all signed and pledged. I guess Lu Yuanwai is also afraid that when he gets old, the third child will retaliate against him. "

"It seems that he is not stupid! But who is Mr. Zhu?"

"You have to ask Ning'er about this, he is the big country gentleman he invited."

Zhang Sanniang turned to her son suspiciously, and she suddenly remembered something a hundred times more important than the third child's divorce.

She stepped forward and grabbed her son's ear, "You little bastard, come with me!"

"Mom, what are you doing? It hurts! Let go."

"Lady, why are you pulling Ning'er's ears?"

Zhang Sanniang angrily dragged her son into the living room, where the oil lamp was lit, and the small square table was covered with white money.

Not only was there silver on the table, but Fanning's treasure chest was also dug out. The mouth of the chest was open, and there were various treasures inside.

Fan Ning's heart clicked! 'Look, when did mother become a hound?

Fan Tiezhou was also dumbfounded, "This...what's going on?"

"Ask your precious son, it was found from his room."

Fan Tiezhou looked at his son suspiciously.

Fanning scratched his head, "Strange! Who put this in my room?"

Zhang Sanniang was angry and funny, and hit her son hard on the head.

She suddenly 'Puff! ' With a sound, I couldn't help laughing out loud.

"My son was so funny he asked who played it?"

Fan Tiezhou laughed dryly, stepped forward to pick up a silver coin and looked at it.

"It's the same as last time's silver. The official banker of Raozhou, Ning'er, have you found another Taihu stone for Zhou Yuanwai?"

Fan Ning secretly gave a thumbs up, who said that his father is not smart, he knows everything at a glance.

"That's right, I found him a top-quality Taihu stone in Qishi Lane, and he gave me 200 taels of silver."

Zhang Sanniang raised her eyebrows, "It's a broken stone, you have the nerve to ask for 200 taels of silver, you are too greedy!"

"Mother, that piece of Taihu Stone will cost at least 5000 taels of silver in the capital. I'm already at a disadvantage."

"5000 taels!"

Zhang Sanniang was a little dizzy, she really couldn't figure out what the concept of 5000 taels of silver was?
"You can buy [-] sheepskin jackets!"

Fanning understood the look in his mother's eyes, and muttered something in a low voice.

"Father, when can we have 5000 taels of silver!"

Zhang Sanniang sighed weakly, "I don't need 5000 taels, I'm satisfied with 1000 taels of silver."

"The one on your wrist is worth at least 10 taels of silver."

Fan Ning suddenly discovered that his mother actually wore the string of purple jadeite on his wrist.

Zhang Sanniang screamed, pointed at the bracelet, and asked with wide eyes, "How much silver do you think this is worth?"

Fan Tiezhou's face was solemn, he picked up his wife's wrist and looked at the string of beads, and said to his wife: "This should be jadeite, very precious, I saw it at a jewelry store in Changzhou more than ten years ago, and it was priced at [-] guan. It’s not as bright as this.”

"I don't wear it anymore!"

Zhang Sanniang quickly wiped off the beads and put them on the table, avoiding them like snakes and scorpions.

"Ning'er, you must tell Daddy, where did you get this?" Fan Tiezhou asked very seriously.

"It was given to the third grandpa by the emperor, and the third grandpa gave it to me."

Fan Ning pushed Fan Zhongyan on the head no matter what, he must be right.

"Father, although this bead string is valuable, it cannot be sold, let alone shared, as it will kill you, so I buried it without telling you."

Fan Ning looked at his mother puzzled, and she was able to find out after covering half a foot of soil by herself, which really admired her.

At this time, Zhang Sanniang had recovered from the extreme shock of 10 taels of silver.

"Is your mother the kind of ignorant person? If you said it earlier, I would wear it on my hand?"

She reached out to knock her son's head, but Fan Ning dodged in time, "Mother didn't show it to others, did she?" He asked vigilantly.

Zhang Sanniang blushed, "I wanted to show it to the lady of the Liu family next door, and you just came back."

"What are these?" Fan Tiezhou asked, pointing to other items in the box.

"They are all gifts from others. Congratulations on my No. 1 exam. The fan is from Daguan Zhu, the agate and jade gourd is from Director Liu, you know the two topaz rings, and the white jade is from Zhou Yuanwai. "

Fanning babbled half-truths and half-falsely, and there was no way to corroborate such things anyway.

"Then put it away!"

Fan Tiezhou said: "These things are souvenirs, and I think it's best to bury them."

Fanning stepped forward and put all the treasures into the treasure box and closed the lid.

After all, Zhang Sanniang is a country woman, and the life of 10 taels of silver is too far away from her, she can't imagine it, and she has no interest.

On the contrary, 200 taels of silver made her eyes shine.

She piled up 200 taels of silver, and said to her husband with a beaming smile, "Father, let's use this money to build a new house! I want to build a big yard, like a five-room tile house, and I will marry Ning'er a wife in the future."

Fan Ning heard his mother's three words about marrying a daughter-in-law, and he said angrily: "This is the capital I plan to open a medical clinic for my father."

"What kind of medical clinic!?"

The husband and wife spoke in unison, but their meanings were different. Fan Tiezhou denied it unhappily, while Zhang Sanniang questioned it.

Fan Ning quickly told his mother what he thought. He knew that the mother was in charge of the family, and as long as the mother made a decision, his father had to go if he didn't.

After hearing Fan Ning's thoughts, Zhang Sanniang didn't say a word. This matter happened suddenly, and she needed to think about it.

At this time, she suddenly remembered that the father and son hadn't eaten yet, and she kept complaining to herself, "Look at my memory being eaten by a dog, and I actually forgot to warm up your meal."

She turned and ran to the kitchen, and Fan Tiezhou said to his son, "We'll talk about the opening of the clinic later!"

Fan Ning nodded and said to his father, "Daddy, I want to ask you for help."

"what's up?"

"That's it!"

Fan Ning scratched his head and said, "I promised to find a high-grade Taihu stone for others. Can you say hello to the former fishermen? If you catch a good Taihu stone, I will buy it at a high price!"

"You are looking for stones for that little lady!" Fan Tiezhou said with a smile.

． ． ． ． ． ． ． ．
After eating, Fan Ning was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes, and dragged his calm body to sleep, and the treasure box could only be disposed of tomorrow.

Fan Tiezhou and his wife were lying on the bed talking.

Fan Tiezhou told his wife what happened today in detail.

Although Zhang Sanniang is also concerned about the fate of the third child, as long as the third child is not bad, she doesn't want to ask more questions. She cares more about her own family, especially whether the Fan family should pay the money. Dry.

When she heard that there was no need to pay money, her interest quickly shifted.

"You said Ning'er has a good relationship with that little lady?"

"It can be seen that Ning'er has a good relationship with her. Ning'er is standing next to her, and the two of them have been whispering."

"How do you look?" Women always get to the point when they talk about this aspect.

"That little lady is quite beautiful, I have never seen a young girl as juicy as her."

Zhang Sanniang's eyes flickered suddenly, "Father, do you think Ning'er and her can..."

"This is impossible. I heard from my father that the Zhu family is the richest man in the Pingjiang Mansion, and we can't climb high."

"Why can't we climb high? Our Ning'er is not bad. In the future, when Ning'er is admitted to Jinshi, I may not be able to look up to them?"

"What if I fail the exam?"

"You're a deadhead!"

She poked her husband's forehead, "You forgot, I still have a bracelet worth 10 taels of silver, why can't I marry her?"

Fan Tiezhou didn't dare to say anything, when did the bracelet become hers again?
Zhang Sanniang began to imagine the scene of her son worshiping the little lady, and the more she thought about it, the more beautiful she became, and she couldn't close her mouth with a smile.

"What are you thinking about, sleep!"

Zhang Sanniang's beautiful vision was "sleep!" by her husband! ' interrupted brutally.

But she remembered a real thing.

"Father, I've thought about it, you can really open a medical clinic!"

Fan Tiezhou quickly turned over and said to his wife: "The child is talking nonsense, and you take it seriously? Besides, I just changed the passenger ship."

"People in the village come to you with any headaches, don't you see it very well! Why can't you open a medical clinic?

Besides, opening a medical center is more profitable than driving a boat, and it has status. Ning'er can't tell others in school that my father is a boatman, you have to think about your child! "

Fan Tiezhou was moved by his wife's last words, and he slowly fell into deep thought.
