Great Song Super Scholar

Chapter 57 The rules have changed

At noon the next day, a teaching assistant brought Fan Ning to Dean Liu's room, "Master, he is here."

"Oh! here comes Fanning."

Headmaster Liu chuckled, stood up and said, "Come in, please!"

Fan Ning came in and saluted, "Is there something the host wants from me?"

"Sit down and have a sip of hot tea first!"

Master Liu asked him to sit down, and the tea boy served them tea.

"Shangyuanye, our Yanying Academy is very famous. There are two students fighting classics, one is Xu Ji, and the other is unknown. I guess it should be you!"

Of course, Fan Ning also knew that Xu Ji's grandfather had visited Director Liu two days ago.

It is said that he wanted to apologize to Xu Ji in front of everyone in the school, otherwise Xu Ji would transfer to another school.

Could it be that Director Liu came to him for this matter?

"It's indeed me, what is the master planning to do with it?" Fan Ning asked coldly.

"Wait a minute!"

Director Liu felt that Fan Ning's tone was wrong, so he quickly stopped him, "Don't get me wrong, I didn't mean to blame you, what did you hear?"

"Of course I heard!" Fanning's eyes flashed with anger.

"Some people said that I was undermining the unity of Yanying Academy. Because of me, Yanying Academy could not form a team to participate in the county magistrate selection competition. It is said that the chief professor of the prefectural school also put pressure on the head of the school."

Director Liu looked at Fan Ning for a while, then shook his head.

"Every selection competition, there will be various moths in the school, not only our Yanying Academy, but all schools are the same. Everyone will use all means to compete for the place. I am not surprised that there are rumors that are not good for you.

As for who is putting pressure on me, don't take it to heart. Although Liu Yantong is thin, I still have a few bones. You don't need to apologize to anyone. "

Fan Ning was originally dissatisfied with Dean Liu, but Fan Ning was moved by Dean Liu's clear attitude at this time. He stood up and bowed to Dean Liu, "Students are very grateful for the dean's love for the students!"

"Sit down! Sit down!"

Director Liu smiled and asked Fan Ning to sit down, and said to Fan Ning earnestly: "Because you are the grandson of Fan Gong, many people will hate you, and maybe someone wants to please some dignitaries in the court, so they deliberately step on you. Beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy it, there are villains everywhere, don't pay attention to them."

Fan Ning nodded silently. Fan Zhongyan offended a lot of dignitaries during the Qingli Revolution. In order to protect himself, Fan Zhongyan insisted not to let him stay in the capital and let him go back to his hometown to study.

But even so, villains like the Xu family would still shoot him with hidden arrows.

There is only one way to deal with this kind of villain, to repay him in his own way.

Running away will only make them more arrogant.

Director Liu saw that Fan Ning was deep in thought and remained silent, he smiled again: "I called you here today because I want to talk to you about the selection of county officials."

Fan Ning knew very well that Zhu Daguan made a decisive move yesterday, and there should be results.

Dean Liu looked at him, and continued: "Our Yanying Academy got five places to participate, so I decided to form two teams to participate, and Zhao Xuezheng has agreed."

"Isn't there only three places?" Fan Ning was a little stunned.

Dean Liu sighed softly, "This incident has twists and turns. Speaking of which, you have to thank Zhu Pei and her grandfather."

Dean Liu briefly explained the whole story to Fan Ning.

"Don't blame a few professors for not speaking for you. After all, you have been here for too short a time. They don't even know you yet. But the seven middle school students have been in the school for three years, and every professor has taught them. , and value them very much, it is only natural for professors to want to leave opportunities for them.”

It is understandable for the dean to say a few good words for the professors, but Fan Ning can see through the essence at a glance.

I am a child of the Fan family, if Fan Zhongyan does not lose power, I believe these professors will be another choice.

People's hearts are very complicated, especially the minds of literati are even more unpredictable.

For a long time after the annual exam, Fan Ning thought that because he was the first in the exam, he stimulated the group of middle school students, especially the so-called Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove.

But when Shang Yuanye discovered it by accident, he realized that his consideration of the problem was still too simple.

Xu Ji hated himself, not necessarily because of his grades, maybe Zhu Pei was the main reason, but what about the others?
Zhu Pei is not only the granddaughter of the richest man in Pingjiang Mansion, but also a relative of the emperor. His father is a high-ranking official in the court.

With such a superior family background, she came to Yanying Academy to study. I don't know how many people wanted to curry favor with her and get close to her.

But she chose to be at the same table with him, and the dissatisfaction caused by it can be imagined.

What Xu Ji said in the lantern riddle booth is the best proof.

Zhu Pei looks very good, and her family background is so good, so many big families in Pingjiang Mansion are staring at her. ． ． ． ． ．

But now, he found another reason why Zhongshe students hated him.

That's what Dean Liu said, Yanying Academy only has three places for the county magistrate selection competition, which is related to the chance to participate in the boy's examination.

Dean Liu is most worried about the relationship between Fan Ning and Xu Ji. The two seem to be in conflict. He is very worried that there will be accidents in the county magistrate selection competition.

"Fan Ning, I know that you and Xu Ji are at odds, but I still hope that you can cherish the hard-won qualifications for the competition. You are all my students. As the head of the school, I hope that you can all win the county magistrate and win the participation together. Qualifications for the boy test."

Fan Ning smiled faintly, "I can completely understand the mood of the headmaster. From the face of headmaster Liu, I don't care if the Xu family stepped on me from behind this time, but there will be no next time. After all, people's hearts are unpredictable." , Hidden arrows are hard to guard against.

There is one ugly thing I have to say first, I, Fanning, can't rub the sand in my eyes, I will humiliate anyone who insults me. "

． ． ． ． ． ． ．

When I got home, my mother, Zhang Sanniang, was sitting listlessly by the well washing clothes. If it was in Jiangwan Village, a large group of women would gather by the river to wash clothes. nothing.

Zhang Sanniang really regretted it, she shouldn't have moved to the town.

"Mom, I'm back!" Fanning walked quickly into the house.

Zhang Sanniang was a little surprised, "It's not a ten-day holiday today, how could Ning'er come back?"

Fan Ning got into the kitchen, found a big steamed bun, chewed on it and said, "There is something important today, and the director wants me to tell you about it."

"What's the matter?" Zhang Sanniang was a little nervous, her son must have been expelled from school!
"That's it. In ten days' time, it will be the second day of February. The county will hold a selection contest for county officials, which is also called the child prodigy competition. Five people from our school will go to the school, and I will be selected."

Zhang Sanniang breathed a sigh of relief, then her eyes widened and her voice changed, "I heard that right! My family, Ning'er, is actually going to participate in the prodigy competition?"

The three-year prodigy contest in Wu County has been held for some years, and almost everyone in the villages of Wu County knows it. In everyone's opinion, the prodigies who can participate in the competition are the best students from various schools, and they are little Wenqu stars descending from the sky.

Not to mention Jiangwan Village, and the surrounding villages ten miles away, I have never heard of anyone who has participated.

Zhang Sanniang used to hear neighbor Liu Er's wife show off that her nephew, who was studying in the county, participated in the child prodigy competition. This incident made Liu Er's wife show off for three years.

Every time she mentions this matter, she will gain a psychological advantage in front of Zhang Sanniang.

But today, Zhang Sanniang heard that her son will also participate in the child prodigy competition, how could she not be overjoyed.

"Ning'er, go and tell your father that he is not allowed to see a doctor at night today, and let him come back for dinner."

"Mom, let me catch my breath before going!"

"Stop rambling, go!"

Fanning was kicked out of the house by his mother, he had no choice but to go to his father's clinic.

Walking into the Yishengtang pharmacy, I heard an earth-shattering howl, the sound seemed to come from my father's hospital,
Fan Ning was startled, and quickly stopped a waiter and asked, "Brother Zhang, what happened to my father's clinic?"

"Yuan Luo is pulling his teeth! Several people can't hold it down."

Fan Ning couldn't help laughing, his father treated his legs and arms, and now he is a dentist again.

At this time, there was another roar from the medical hall, and Fan Ning hurried to the front of the medical hall, the curtain had been drawn, and the outside was surrounded by patients watching the excitement.

I saw a drunken fat man sitting on the small bed, holding a chair leg in his hand, looking around fiercely, "Who dares to approach me?"

There were four or five men standing around, and his father, Fan Tiezhou, was holding a pair of small iron tongs in his hand, looking helplessly at the drunk man.

The drunk swung his stick, pointed at Fan Tiezhou and said angrily, "You want to use iron pliers to cut my throat, don't you?"

Fan Ning pulled the little drug boy over and asked, "Ah Qing, what's going on?"

"Little official, it's really funny to say that!"

With a dumbfounding expression on his face, Ah Qing explained to everyone, "This Luo Yuanwai had a toothache for a month, and his two sons finally persuaded him to have his tooth pulled. How do you pull it out, Master?"

"And then?" one patient asked.

"Then he drank too much, and that's what he looks like now."

Ah Qing was articulate and vivid, and the patients around him roared with laughter.

Fan Tiezhou put down his iron tongs, gave Luo Yuanwai's eldest son a wink, and left the hospital.

Luo Yuanwai's eldest son took the wine jar and poured a bowl of wine, and persuaded his father, "Daddy, this is the best Pingjiang Bridge wine, you are usually reluctant to drink it."

Luo Yuan waved his hand, "Take it home and drink it!"

Luo Yuanwai's son knows how to get his father to drink this bowl of wine.

"Daddy, no! This is not our wine, this is the wine bought by Dr. Fan, how can we take it home?"

"Isn't this wine paid for by us?"

"no!"

"Then drink two more bowls, if you don't drink, you won't drink!"

He picked up the wine bowl, gurgled, drank it all in one gulp, and poured another bowl. Before he finished the second bowl of wine, he tilted his head and fell on the bed, snoring loudly.

Luo Yuanwai's eldest son gently pushed his father, and immediately shouted excitedly: "Doctor Fan, my father is drunk!"

Fan Tiezhou walked in and said, "Everyone hold him down and open his mouth, Ah Qing, prepare to rinse your mouth with salt water!"

． ． ． ． ． ． ．

After working for a long time, Luo Yuanwai's two sons finally carried their father into the ox cart, and the family left.

"Daddy still pulls teeth?" Fanning walked in and asked with a smile.

While washing his hands, Fan Tiezhou laughed and said, "I've pulled teeth for cattle before, so I'm not unfamiliar with the technique."

Fan Ning was interested in the remaining half of the jar of wine. When he was outside the house, he felt that the wine had a high alcohol content, which was different from the wine he usually drank.

Fanning poured a small bowl of wine and tasted it. The wine was at least twenty degrees.

Usually, the wine sold in wine shops is even lighter than beer, and it tastes like brewed wine.

Fan Tiezhou caught a glimpse of his son tasting wine, and quickly said: "Don't drink that wine, it's too strong!"

"Daddy, what kind of wine is this?"

"It was brought by Luo Yuanwai's son. It is the strongest wine in our Pingjiang Mansion, called Pingjiang Bridge."

Fan Ning suddenly had an idea in his mind, what would this wine look like if it was distilled again?
"Ning'er, is there anything you can do here?" Fan Tiezhou stepped forward and asked with a smile.

Fan Ning put down the wine bowl and said: "Mother asked me to come here, she wants Daddy to come home for dinner today."

Fan Tiezhou smiled and said, "Why, is there any happy event?"

"Maybe it's because I'm preparing to participate in the child prodigy competition!"

Fan Tiezhou was overjoyed, "Are you going to participate in the prodigy competition?"

Fan Ning nodded, "The headmaster has already talked to me today, and I will represent Yanying Academy in the battle."

Only then did Fan Tiezhou understand why his wife wanted to celebrate!

Fan Tiezhou could fully understand his wife's feelings, so he competed for this child prodigy. How many times did the lady from the second Liu's family next door show off to her?

Every time, the wife would wash her face with tears and cry loudly while hugging her silly son. This time, she could also feel elated.

Thinking of the stupid look of his son in the past, if the children in the village are not promising, the parents will use Ning'er to comfort their children, "It doesn't matter, at least it is better than the dumb of the Fan family." '

But today, his son actually wanted to participate in the child prodigy competition, and Fan Tiezhou felt his nose sore.

Although Fan Tiezhou was not as ecstatic about this event as his wife was, he also believed that this was definitely a great event worth celebrating.

Fan Tiezhou smiled and said: "Wait for me to clean up, let's go to Baiyun Restaurant and book a table, we will have a good celebration today!"
