Chapter 61
Fan Ning had recited many things in his previous life, including the Four Books and Five Classics, various famous classics handed down, but he can be sure that he will never care about the situation of the Pingjiang Mansion's examination in the seventh year of Qingli, and he has no way of knowing.

So, how would I know the list of the top three in the solution test?How do you know what to solve the test questions?
A few rays of sunlight in the afternoon penetrated through the roof tiles and fell on Fanning's face, putting a layer of luster on his still immature face and adding a sense of mystery to his face.

The middle-aged man looked at the pensive teenager with great interest.

Shangyuan Ye's Dou Jing was able to answer two final lottery, one of which was a heartbroken lottery. This was a situation he had never encountered in the past ten years.

Of course he shared such a wonderful event with his superior brother, if not for his busy government affairs, his brother would have come to meet this child prodigy.

Fan Ning has been thinking for a long time. He searched his brains, but he couldn't remember where he had seen the list and the test questions.

He is almost certain that he has never been exposed to this aspect.

Fan Ning asked from another angle: "Uncle, apart from the printed test book, where will we introduce the results of last year's test, for example, only list the top three."

"There should be a lot! You can see the list everywhere."

"no no!"

Fan Ning quickly waved his hand, "Uncle didn't understand what I meant. I didn't mean the entire list, but only the top three, and I won't mention it later."

"That's it!"

The middle-aged man thought for a while, "Otherwise it would be "Pingjiang Mansion Chronicle". Generally, "Pingjiang Mansion Chronicle" will mention the solution test, but not too much. According to the usual practice, only the top three will be listed."

Fan Ning hurriedly asked, "Then last year's "Pingjiang Mansion Chronicle" was released?"

The middle-aged man chuckled, "It's not that fast, it will take May or June at the earliest, and sometimes even many years later."

Fan Ning was a little disappointed, so he had to say goodbye and leave the bookstore.

But Fan Ning hadn't gone far, and suddenly ran back and asked, "Is there any "Pingjiang Fuzhi" from three years ago?"

He just remembered that he also knew the top three in the last test,
"It seems to be there, just wait a moment!"

The middle-aged man went to the attic to search for a long time before he found a dusty book, handed it to Fan Ning and said with a smile: "No one would buy this kind of official annals, that is, every school would buy a copy. I will give it to you."

"Thank you uncle!"

Fan Ning walked out of the bookstore and slowly flipped through the "Pingjiang House Chronicles" published in the fourth year of Qingli. He was completely stunned. He had actually read this "Pingjiang House Chronicles", and the contents inside were clearly printed in his mind.

How is this going?

I have never read this local chronicle, so how can I remember the content in it?And it was actually able to recite backwards.

Fanning was a little confused.

In fact, this kind of abnormality is not the first time. He was a little strange when he recited "Spring and Autumn" in Ouyang Xiu's mansion in the capital. It seemed that he had never read "Spring and Autumn".

At that time, he thought it was a memory error, so he didn't investigate further.

This abnormality also occurred during the Yanying Entrance Examination. He remembered that he had never read "Guanzi". How could he memorize it back then?

But regardless of "Spring and Autumn" or "Guanzi", they are all ancient classics. Fan Ning is not sure whether he has read them or not.
But "Pingjiang Mansion Chronicle" is an unexplainable anomaly, and it is impossible for him to read it anyway.

This abnormality stood before his eyes like a huge mountain, which made him unable to avoid it and had to face it.

Fan Ning stood there for a long time, he scratched the back of his head habitually, his hand suddenly stopped on a certain part of the back of his head, and a thought flashed across his mind like lightning.

Could it be. . . . . . .
How can it be?Fan Ning immediately denied his absurd idea, this is Fan Daidai's body, how could it travel through the millennium!
But if not, how can you explain everything in front of you?
. . . . . . . .
Zhu Pei lives in a garden-like mansion in Dongcheng, Wu County. This is the home of her aunt, who is the governor of Chizhou and has a prominent family background.

My uncle's surname is Xu, and he has a cousin who is currently an official in the capital. This cousin is Xu Ji's father.

Zhu Pei's aunt is actually Xu Ji's aunt, and the wealthy families in Pingjiang Mansion will have some oblique kinship, which can be regarded as the inevitable result of marriage between well-matched families.

Of course, Zhu Pei's grandfather also had his own house in the county seat, but her aunt had already asked her to come and live there for a few days, so she took the opportunity of the county magistrate selection contest to live in her aunt's house.

Zhu Pei wore a loose green skirt embroidered with gold thread and silver trim, a jacket on the upper body, and a buckskin tight-fitting jacket.

She likes to wear wide skirts very much, it seems that it can make her look older and more mature.

But often what attracts others is not the dress she wears, but her small face as white and tender as porcelain and her facial features as exquisitely drawn by a master of calligraphy and painting.

Of course, what made Yanyingtang students remember her completely was not her appearance, but her toughness when she beat Fan Jiang violently.

At this moment, Jupe was sitting comfortably on a large chair and reading a book. The brazier in the corner was burning vigorously, and the room was very warm.

The little maid Cui'er squatted by the brazier to make tea, but her ears were pricked up, listening to the sword guards report the situation to the little master.

The guard of the sword is the Great Sword Woman. I don't know what her family name is. Her Taoist name is Jianmeizi. The maids in the mansion tell her to pick plums. She is the tallest, so of course she picks the most plums.

She went to protect Fan Ning under Zhu Pei's order. Fan Ning was a bit careless in terms of safety, but Zhu Pei was very careful. She knew that someone hated Fan Ning deeply, and she might take the opportunity to attack him.

Fanning had already returned to the inn, and the sword guard rushed back to report to Jupe.

"Little official, Fan Shaolang went to the Confucian Temple Square alone this afternoon. He entered a bookstore. Coincidentally, the owner of the bookstore was the host of Doujing. They chatted for a while, and the owner of the bookstore gave Fan Shaolang a book. It's "Pingjiang Mansion Chronicle", so he went back to the inn, there's not much to do, but his behavior is a bit abnormal."

Zhu Pei was not interested in the owner of the bookstore. When she heard that Fan Ning was behaving strangely, she put down the book and asked curiously, "What is the abnormal behavior?"

Jian Meizi suppressed a smile and said: "He stood in the bookstore in a daze for almost a stick of incense, and then sat by the Yingchun River, staring at the water in a daze for nearly half an hour, and then raised his head and shouted to the sky."

"What's he calling?" Jupe's eyes grew more interested.

"He was shouting, 'I see, that must be the reason!'"

The little maid Cui'er laughed softly, "He's really an idiot!"

Zhu Pei's pretty face darkened, and he scolded unhappily: "You are not allowed to call him an idiot!"

Cui'er was so frightened that she stood up, lowered her head and said aggrievedly: "Didn't the little lady always call him dumb?"

"I like to call him a fool. It's my business, but it's not your turn to call him a fool. He ranks first in Yanyingtang's annual exam. Will he be a fool?"

"But Xu Xiaoguan said that he cheated and won the first place in the exam!" Cui'er muttered in a low voice.

"When did Xu Ji tell you?"

How clever Zhu Pei is, she immediately discovered the problem with the maid's words.

She followed him all the time, when did Xu Ji tell her that he didn't know?

She stared at Tweety, her gaze was very sharp, "Hurry up!"

Tweety's face changed greatly in fright, and she whispered after a while: "Last time when I was waiting for the little lady at the gate of the school, he came out of the school and said a few words to me."

"what did he say?"

"He complained, saying that Fan Ning obviously cheated to get the first place in the exam, and the little lady was helping Fan Ning to speak, saying that he didn't care about his face at all."

"Did you take advantage of him?" Jupe pressed.

"He gave me a tael of silver to buy flowers, but I dare not take it."

"Hmph! Why didn't you tell me such an important thing?"

"I'm afraid the little lady will be angry." Cui'er lowered her head and dared not speak.

"I warn you first!"

Zhu Pei reprimanded her extremely angrily: "If I find out that you dare to take advantage of others behind my back, you can go home, I won't want you anymore!"

Tweety'er has been with Zhu Pei for two years, and she has never been scolded by her like this. Tweety'er's eyes turned red immediately, and she turned her back, sobbing and crying.

At this time, a woman in her forties came in, she saw Tweety crying sadly, and said with a smile: "Who bullied our Tweety, weeping like little tears."

Zhu Pei waved his hand in a disturbed manner, "Cry outside, don't bother me here!"

Jianmeizi hurriedly dragged Tweet out.

The woman is Zhu Pei's aunt. Her surname is Wang. She has two sisters. She is the eldest sister. She married the Xu family and gave birth to a son and a daughter. The eldest son is Xu Shouchun. .

When Fan Ning named Biluochun in the teahouse, Xu Shouchun was also there. He was a handsome man of seventeen or eighteen years old, knowledgeable and polite, and Fan Ning had a good impression of him.

Wang's younger sister is Zhu Pei's mother.

Mrs. Wang glanced at Zhu Pei, and said with a smile, "Are you still showing your face in front of your aunt?"

Zhu Pei said bitterly: "This little girl is becoming more and more ignorant of respect and inferiority, so she interrupted indiscriminately in her self-righteousness, scolding her a few times, so that she can understand the rules."

Mrs. Wang sat down beside her niece, took her hand and said with a smile: "Actually, you are in a bad mood, why don't I ask Azhu'er to accompany you out for a walk to relax?"

Azhu'er is Wang's daughter, she is 16 years old, she is already engaged, she is working hard at home as a female star, and she is ready to get married.

"Forget it! How can Sister Zhu have time to go out?" Zhu Pei said angrily.

"Then let Ji'er go out with you for a walk."

Zhu Pei frowned, "Is Xu Ji here?"

Wang quickly said: "Yesterday I asked him to come over for lunch today, but he didn't have time, which meant that there was going to be a competition tomorrow."

Zhu Pei snorted, "Let me tell you! They will meet their rival Yu Qingtang team tomorrow, how can he have time to come here now!"

"Hey! You're pretty well informed! The lottery ends at noon, and you'll know the result."

Zhu Pei was taken aback, her aunt never left the house, how did she know that the lottery was drawn at noon today, she didn't tell her.

Suspicious in his heart, Zhu Pei tentatively asked, "Is there anything my aunt wants to see me?"

Wang said softly: "Auntie is here to persuade you. Your mother was not happy about you entering the school. Now you want to participate in some county competition and show your face in public. I am worried that your mother will not allow you in a fit of anger." You go to school to study again.

Pei'er, everyone is talking about you now, which is bad for your reputation. I think it's better for you to be more cautious. "

Zhu Pei asked quietly again: "What does my aunt think I should do to be prudent?"

"Don't participate in this county competition, and then my aunt will write a letter to your mother. I will guarantee you that you can continue to study in school."

Zhu Pei was silent for a moment and said, "If you don't want to participate in the county magistrate competition, you should at least tell Director Liu."

Wang Shi was overjoyed, and quickly said: "I'll go and tell you, so you don't have to worry about these things."

"No! I'll take care of it myself. Auntie must not be too fussy. It will embarrass grandpa."

Mrs. Wang took a deep look at her niece, then nodded and said, "Okay! You can handle it yourself, and I won't care about it."

Wang got up and left, Zhu Pei's face immediately darkened, she snorted dissatisfiedly, got up and walked out of the yard, seeing Tweety still wiping her tears, her heart suddenly became angry, her eyes glared, "Are you finished?" ?”

Tweety was too frightened to cry anymore, and timidly stepped forward.

"Hurry up and pack my luggage, I'm going to move back to another house, it's not safe here!"

Zhu Pei said to Jian Meizi again with a gloomy face: "Go and find out, has Xu Ji been here around noon today?"
