Great Song Super Scholar

Chapter 93

That night, Fan Tiezhou couldn't help but finally told his wife that his son had sold stones for 3000 taels of silver.

This time, Zhang Sanniang was not surprised at all, even more clearly than her husband.

"That's what's wrong with you. You always underestimate your son!"

Zhang Sanniang knocked on the table unhappily, "Do you think I don't understand anything when I stay at home? When I'm free, I also went to Qishi Lane. I understand the market there. Good Taihu stones are only a few bucks.

Let those peddlers take a piece of mountain travel stone and sell it to Mr. Zhu, will Mr. Zhu pay attention to them?Will you give them several thousand taels of silver?Dream it!
I've seen it through. Zhu Daguan didn't buy stones, but Ning'er. Do you think anyone can hang the plaque of "Heavenly Prodigy"? "

Zhang Sanniang pointed to the plaque inlaid with gold borders on the wall of the living room.

Fan Tiezhou looked at his wife in confusion, "It's very strange today! Ning'er has 3000 taels of silver, yet you didn't faint?"

Zhang Sanniang blushed, she almost fainted once this morning, she just calmed down after being excited for a whole day.

"Miss Zhu came to chat with me this morning and told me about it, but Ning'er's 3000 taels of silver has nothing to do with stones, it was Ning'er who invented a wine-making technology, which was bought by Miss Zhu's third grandfather. "

Fan Tiezhou was taken aback, only then did he realize that his son hadn't told the truth to him, and he was secretly annoyed that this brat had grown up to hide everything, even his own father.

Helpless, he had no choice but to ask: "What does the lady think?"

Zhang Sanniang yawned sleepily, and said vigorously: "Miss Zhu said that her grandfather is going to open a strange stone museum with Ning'er, and the second child will be the shopkeeper. I thought about it for a day, and I think it's a good thing. Covered, no one dares to bully."

Fan Tiezhou always felt that something was wrong, and he said to his wife with a puzzled face: "Don't you think it's a little strange? Mr. Zhu has nothing to do with us, why does he help us again and again, and is willing to spend a lot of money, I heard from the fourth son that Zhu Daguan really agreed to help him study in the mansion."

"Look, I just said you, and you have committed an old problem again."

Zhang Sanniang glared at her husband angrily, "Where does he help us? I think Zhu Daguan has more vision than you. You always look down on your son, but he thinks highly of Ning'er. Ning'er got the first place in the county examination, which means People have eyes."

Fan Tiezhou sighed, "You are right, we can no longer look at Ning'er with old eyes."

"That's you, don't count me in!"

Fan Tiezhou smiled wryly, he was in too much of a mess today, so he had to calm down for a few days before discussing this matter.

He didn't want to continue talking about this matter, so he changed the subject, "By the way, when will Ning'er go to the county school?" Fan Tiezhou suddenly remembered this important matter.

"Leave early in the morning the day after tomorrow!"

Zhang Sanniang suddenly remembered something, and exclaimed, "I'm going to die, I haven't prepared the clothes for Ning'er's school in the county yet!"

． ． ． ． ． ． ．

The county school is equivalent to the county high school. It is completely different from the school. The school belongs to a kind of popular education. There are dozens of schools in Wu County, but there is only one county school, which is directly aimed at the imperial examination.

Since ancient times, education in Pingjiang Mansion has been very developed, and talented youngsters have emerged in endlessly. The county school has gathered the best Confucian scholars in the county.

The county school enrolls about 200 students every year, and the end of January is the time for the county school admissions examination. Thousands of students from the county seat, townships, towns, and other counties gather for the county school examination. Thousands of troops crowd the single-plank bridge, and the competition is abnormal. fierce.

In the end, two hundred scholars became the lucky ones and squeezed into the county school.

Of course, if you can't get into the county school and your family is rich enough, you can still pay to become an auditor. There are about [-] places every year, which are very sought-after, and it doesn't matter if you can't get them.

Auditors are expensive, and they have to pay three years' fees at a time, which is about a hundred guan. At the beginning, Fan Tongzhong paid 200 taels of silver, half of which was spent on finding connections, and the other half was tuition fees.

It was not yet bright, and the pier was already crowded with family members seeing off.

Fan Ning went to the county seat on a boat dedicated to sending freshmen from the county school. Just like the last time he participated in the county magistrate selection competition, the boat was covered with ribbons, and a flag was planted on the canopy, with the words 'Freshmen from County School' written on it.

But this time there were no squires to see him off, only relatives and friends came to see him off at the pier.

There were ten other fellows from Mudu Town who went to the County Journal with Fan Ning, nine of them were from Yanying School, and the other was from the government-run Town School.

This time, 26 students from Yanying School applied for the county school, and [-] of them passed the exam, ranking second in the county, second only to the school affiliated to the county school.

However, the students of Yanying Academy come from all over Pingjiang Prefecture. There are only nine local Shangshe students in Mudu Town, and all nine of them are admitted to the county school. This is the charm of Yanying Academy.

Fan Ning's bag and cage had already been consigned yesterday, and he only carried a book bag, which contained only some sundries and a few taels of silver.

He is a county magistrate, free of charge for miscellaneous training, and he doesn't have to pay a penny, and a few taels of silver are just his pocket money.

Fan Ning was dressed very formally today. He wore a tall and square hat, and a slightly loose green lapel deep coat. This is the unique scholar's uniform for county school students. Looks very energetic.

"My lady, let Ning'er bid farewell to the headmaster!"

Fan Tiezhou pulled his tearful wife, Zhang Sanniang wiped the tears with a handkerchief, and reluctantly let go of his son.

I go to the county school to study, and I can’t come back after a ten-day break, and there are no winter and summer vacations. Generally, I only have the opportunity to go home during the holidays.

How could Zhang Sanniang be willing to keep her son away from her to study when she was only nine years old.

Fan Ning came to the farewell team of Yanying Academy, and he hugged Liu Kang.

Liu Kang said sadly: "I still have to wait four years before I can take the county school exam. I really envy you!"

Fan Ning patted him on the arm and encouraged him: "The county school has no age limit. If you work hard, you will be able to take the county school exam in three years."

Liu Kang nodded, with a smile on his face, "But we have to think on the bright side, since you and Zhu Pei are gone, I will be number one in the future."

Fan Ning was taken aback, "Jupei doesn't study anymore?"

"You don't know?"

Fanning shook her head, "She didn't tell me."

Liu Kang scratched the back of his head, "I don't know if it's true, anyway, the school said that she was going to study in the capital, and she hasn't been here for a long time."

At this time, Professor Cai stepped forward and said with a smile, "Fan Ning, congratulations!"

Fan Ning is very grateful to Professor Cai, not only for his usual care for him, but also for secretly notifying him at the critical moment, so that he can invite Zhu Daguan in time to turn the situation around.

He hurriedly bowed and saluted, "Professor Cai's usual teachings, students will remember them!"

Professor Cai was very emotional, and said to Fan Ning: "I have been teaching for almost 30 years, and this is the first time I have met a young genius like you. I look forward to the day when you will return home."

"Thank you professor!"

At this time, Dean Liu stepped forward and said with a smile, "I won't say goodbye to you. I often go to the county school and see you often. I just hope you don't forget that you are a student of Yanqing Academy."

"Students will never forget, please take care of the master!"

Fanning bowed deeply to him.

Headmaster Liu instructed him again: "The day before yesterday Zhao Xuezheng came to the town to look for you, but you were not there. He asked me to bring you a message. After you go to the county school, don't rush to report, go to him first."

"Students remember!"

At this time, the urging bell on the ship rang, 'When!when!when! ’ The boatman yelled: “The boat is sailing!”

The students bid farewell to their parents one after another. Zhang Sanniang forced a smile and said to him, "Go!"

"Mom, I'll be back on the summer solstice, two months at most!"

"Daddy, I'm leaving!"

"Go! If you have anything to do, send a message back."

Fan Ning waved to Liu Kang, Professor Cai, Dean Liu and others, and quickly boarded the boat.

He looked around from the bow, but he never saw Jupe.

This little girl didn't come to say goodbye to me!
Fan Ning felt slightly regretful.

At this time, the big ship started, and the parents waved goodbye to their children one after another.

Zhang Sanniang looked at her son's figure going away, she couldn't help it anymore, tears flowed down again, and she fell on her husband's shoulder and choked up.

"Father Ning'er, let's rent a house in the county too!"

Fan Tiezhou was quite sad in his heart, he forced a smile and said: "Don't say silly things, the child's wings are stiff, let him fly!"

． ． ． ． ． ． ．

The big boat was cleaving the waves in the Xujiang River. At this moment, a painting boat sailed in front of the big boat and brushed against the big boat.

Fan Ning suddenly felt that this painting boat looked familiar, a bit like Zhu Pei's boat, so he hurried to the side of the boat to have a closer look.

Suddenly, a bright color flashed in the sunlight, and before Fan Ning could react, a small ball of paper fell into Fan Ning's book bag accurately.

Fan Ning took out the ball of paper from the book bag, and saw that the boat had gone away, and there was a little lady in a red dress standing at the back door of the boat, waving goodbye to him.

Fan Ning laughed, this little girl is a weird elf, actually bid farewell to herself in this way.

After the painting boat disappeared, Fan Ning opened the note, and there was only one sentence on it.

"Dumb, take care all the way!"

Fan Ning couldn't help but laugh. He raised his head and looked at the distant county town with his hands behind his back. He couldn't help but look forward to the upcoming new life in his heart.
