Chapter 99
"Mo Daojun travels early, and there are even early pedestrians." '

This is Fan Ning's current state. When he heard the news of the start of registration, he rushed over like a gust of wind, but it was still a bit late.

Seeing at least [-] people lined up in front of him, Fan Ning felt a burst of despair in his heart. If he would accept the registration, would it be his turn?
Too many people signed up for the tea club, and several members of the tea club were responsible for maintaining order, mainly to prevent queue jumping.

At this time, Fan Ning saw Lu Youwei pulling a member of the teahouse and talking in a low voice, and Lu Youwei pointed at himself again.

Fan Ning suddenly had a glimmer of hope in his heart, could he jump in line and go to the front?
After a while, Lu Youwei ran over and pulled Fan Ning aside.

"That man is your elder brother?"

Fan Ning glanced at the member of the tea house, who looked quite similar to Lu Youwei.

"He's my brother!"

Lu Youwei said in a low voice: "He told you not to wait in line, hurry up and find Director Zhao!"

"why?"

"The tea club only recruits ten people among the freshmen, and there are too many people in line, so it's impossible for you to get your turn. The tea club is run by our Luming Academy. Director Zhao has a recommended spot in his hand. Go and ask for it... ..."

Before Lu Youwei finished speaking, Fan Ning ran away, rushing towards Zhao Xiuwen's teaching study.

Zhao Xiuwen's Jiaoyu Study Room is located in the main building of the County School, on the second floor of the Qinxue Building. Most of the time Zhao Xiuwen is not in the County School. His main job is the director of the Wu County Education Bureau, that is, Xuezheng, County School Jiaoyu and Luming Academy The head professor is only his part-time job.

Fan Ning rushed up to the second floor in one breath, only to hear a low roar like a beast: "Zhao Xiuwen, don't think I'm easy to deceive, I will make you regret it!"

Then there was a sound of rushing downstairs,
Fan Ning hurriedly dodged, only to see a short professor rushing towards him like a gust of wind, almost colliding with him.

"Do you have eyes!" The short professor yelled.

When the two looked at each other, they were startled at the same time, Fan Ning's hair itched for a while, it turned out to be Zhang Yi, the black knife.

"It's you!"

Zhang Yi raised his eyebrows, and anger immediately appeared in his eyes.

Although Fan Ning offended Zhang Yi when he was choosing a college, Zhang Yi was a famous professor in the county school after all. He relied on his status, and as long as Fan Ning didn't provoke him, he would usually not take the initiative to trouble Fan Ning, but Fanning would not be polite if anything fell into his hands.

But today he was extremely angry, and he looked at Fan Ning very badly, with murderous intent in his eyes.

"Fan Ning, what do you need from me?" Zhao Xiuwen's voice came from upstairs.

Fanning was overjoyed, "I have something to do with the professor!"

Fan Ning nodded slightly to Zhang Yi, bypassed him and ran upstairs.

Zhang Yi turned his head and glanced at Fan Ning and Zhao Xiuwen with resentment in his eyes, and went downstairs without saying a word.

Fan Ning ran to Zhao Xiuwen in one breath, but Zhao Xiuwen didn't look at Fan Ning, and kept watching Zhang Yi leave.

After a while, he said to Fan Ning, "Don't pay attention to him."

"Is he squeezing the students' property again?"

"How do you know?" Zhao Xiuwen gave him a strange look.

Fan Ning said indifferently: "My fourth uncle was squeezed by him, 100 taels of silver! The price is that my third uncle has been pawned in the door."

"Hmph! With the backing of the county magistrate Yang, this person has sold the number of auditors unscrupulously. These days, parents have been coming to the door one after another, and he quarreled with me just now."

Sighing, Zhao Xiuwen waved his hand again, "Stop talking about this, what do you want me for?"

Fan Ning scratched the back of his neck, and said a little embarrassedly: "I also came to ask you, old man, if you want a quota?"

"Want to add more places to the county school?"

Zhao Xiuwen shook his head resolutely, "That's impossible, don't think about it."

"It's not the county school, it's the quota of the tea house."

Fanning looked expectantly: "Don't you have a quota in your hand?"

Zhao Xiuwen was startled for a moment, then laughed.

"Don't tell me I almost forgot, if you want a place in the tea house, it's fine! But what do you want in exchange?"

"what!"

Fan Ning's eyes widened. Just now, he was still fighting corruption and upholding integrity, so he joined forces so soon?

Zhao Xiuwen smiled and said: "I don't ask too much, please write me a couplet!"

Fan Ning was speechless. He had already written four couplets today. Those celebrities in later generations came to ask him what to do with copyright fees?

But as a student, serving the chief professor is a due awareness.

Moments later, in Zhao Xiuwen's professor's room, Fan Ning wrote a couplet on white paper with a pen.

Loosely hold the chastity and cleanliness;
The screen of the mountain exhibition and the fence with flowers.

Zhao Xiuwen stroked his beard and nodded secretly. This student is indeed a rare genius boy who can embody the ancient poems so skillfully.

In this couplet, the first line is a poem by Li Dong, and the second line is a poem by Bai Juyi.

Zhao Xiuwen read it a few times, and couldn't put it down. "Loosely hold the morality, practice Xi Chengxing" is simply his motto!

He wrote the couplet himself.

Zhao Xiuwen mentioned the couplet and said with a smile: "Take it and frame it, and hang it in my study."

Fan Ning stretched out his hand and said with a smile, "The student has already paid the price, sir, it's time to get the goods!"

Zhao Xiuwen said with a half-smile, "If you say that, I won't give it to you!"

Fan Ning rolled his eyes, and immediately said respectfully: "The students have already expressed their respect to the sir. Please, sir, continue to encourage the students and leave a memorial for the students."

Zhao Xiuwen laughed loudly, "You little cunning,"

He found a bronze medal from the drawer, and threw it to Fanning with a smile, "Go!"

Fan Ning grabbed the bronze medal, as if he had dug up a treasure, he quickly settled down and ran away.

As soon as I ran to the stairs, there was a rumbling sound of running, and a large group of students rushed up, at least twelve or three of them.

They stopped together, huddled together, and looked at Fanning suspiciously.

Fanning hummed a ditty and walked down from them triumphantly.

. . . . . . .

In Wenchang Lane, south of the county government office, there is a ten-acre house.

This is the residence of Yang Han, the county magistrate.

The county magistrate is in charge of government affairs, such as labor, taxation, rent collection, road construction, school running, relief, warehouse management, etc., are all his affairs and have real power.

The county lieutenant is in charge of public security and prisons.

The county magistrate is the number one leader, in charge of the entire county.

Yang Han didn't come from a professional background, but was promoted step by step from a county magistrate to county magistrate. He has been in Wu County for eight years, and he is a native of Wu County, so he can be regarded as an old local snake.

Yang Han is only in his forties this year. If he is lucky, he can be promoted to a county magistrate.

He originally hoped that after Li Yun was transferred away, Zhang Tongsan of Pingjiang Mansion would successfully recommend him as the magistrate of Wu County, but he did not expect that the imperial court would transfer a county magistrate from outside, making it impossible for him to be promoted.

Yang Han was both annoyed and helpless, the new county magistrate was from the Zhu family, no matter how local he was, he could not fight against the Zhu family.

Yang Han also has his backer, and his backer is Zhang Wang, the general judge of Pingjiang Prefecture, but judging from the appointment of the new county magistrate, it can be seen that Zhang Wang's strength is still relatively weak.

Since he couldn't compete with the new county magistrate, he could only continue to hold on to his power and not give the new county magistrate the slightest chance to snatch his power.

He must not be like Captain Zuo, who lost even the most important capital of his subordinates to the former County Magistrate Li.

In the room, Yang Han paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, and there was a couplet written by Fan Ning on the table.

Seek more and more day after day;
Caring for all surnames and wishing a prosperous Nianfeng.

This couplet is very suitable for a county magistrate who manages a lot of things every day. Yang Han really admires Fan Ning, a young man who is not only a genius, but also has a lot of means. He joined forces with Li Yun and made Xu's family look ashamed.

Moreover, Fan Ning has also been vigorously cultivated by the Zhu family. Today, when Gao Fei received the wind, the Zhu family actually called him, which shows how much the Zhu family values ​​him.

At this time, a maid reported outside the door, "Master, the little yamen is here!"

"Let him in!"

The door creaked open, and his nephew Yang Du walked in with a guilty expression.

Yang Xiancheng has a son and a daughter. The eldest son is studying in Taixue.

He also had a brother who died of illness ten years ago, leaving behind a son. Yang Xian Cheng adopted his nephew Yang Du in the mansion as his own.

It's just that Yang Xiancheng didn't discipline his nephew strictly a few years ago, which caused him to hang out with a bunch of dudes all day long, and he got into a lot of bad habits.

By the time he found out that something was wrong and put him under strict control, it was already a bit late, and Yang Du's stubbornness had already become a thing of the past.

As soon as Yang Du entered, Yang Xiancheng smelled a strong smell of alcohol.

He stared, "Did you go to drink?"

One of the biggest vices that his nephew has contracted is to be greedy for good wine, and he is greedy for what is in the glass at a young age.

Last year, those dudes took him to a brothel, which made Yang Xiancheng furious.

He ordered the group of dandies to be arrested, and each of them was beaten with fifty sticks. From then on, they never dared to provoke Yang Du again.

Yang Du timidly said: "My boy didn't go to drink, but met a brother on the way, he bought a catty of Taihu Shaojiu, and gave him a small cup to taste what it was like."

Yang Han sighed in his heart, he drank at least half a catty of this wine.

He had something to look for his nephew today, so he didn't bother to expose him, so he said, "Close the door!"

Yang Du closed the door, he didn't dare to get close to his uncle, so he stood at the door with his hands down.

The reason why Yang Han came to find his nephew was because he remembered Fan Ning's very cautious answer today, which made him feel that something must have happened.

He didn't want his nephew to become the second Xu Ji.

"How are you doing at school?"

Yang Han sat down and asked his nephew as gently as possible.

"Reporting to Uncle, the child is very active in studying and never misses class!"

In the past, Dean Chen of the affiliated school of the county school always came to him to complain, and absenteeism has become a common occurrence for his nephew.

Although Yang Han doesn't expect his nephew to be admitted to the imperial examination, he also hopes that he can be admitted to the government school, and then to the imperial school, following the path of his elder brother.

Yang Han nodded, and asked again: "Then what do you do outside of class?"

Yang Du hesitantly said: "My child likes swordsmanship, so I specially signed up for the swordsmanship interest class today."

Yang Han showed a look of sullenness on his face. The thing that Principal Chen complained the most was that his nephew liked to bully the weak, and Yang Han taught him a lot for this.

His intuition told him that his nephew learned swordsmanship to fight.

He said unhappily: "You really want to learn swordsmanship, and I won't stop you, but I warn you, if you dare to bully your classmates with swordsmanship, I will send you back to your hometown, and I won't care about you anymore!"

"Nephew doesn't dare, he's just interested."

Yang Han gave him a hard look, and after a pause he asked again: "Do you know Fan Ning?"

Yang Du was stunned, why did uncle mention Fan Ning?
He said for a while: "He is No. 1 county magistrate, I have heard of him?"

"I asked if you knew him?" Yang Han raised his voice, and his tone became severe.

"I...I had a few words with him, but I definitely didn't hit him."

"Hmph! I guess what you said was not good."

"Uncle, it's because Fan Ning offended Professor Zhang, and we were upset, so we went to help Professor Zhang ridicule him, and nothing else."

"boom!"

Yang Han slapped the table heavily and scolded, "I'll warn you again, don't provoke Fan Ning. If you clashed with him and were beaten to death, I won't collect the body for you."

Yang Du shivered in fright, could it be so serious?

"Uncle, it's Professor Zhang..."

"Don't mention that bastard professor to me!"

Although Yang Han took a lot of benefits from Zhang Yi, he really looked down on Zhang Yi's character. If his nephew hadn't wanted to study in a government school, he would never let his nephew follow Zhang Yi.

Zhang Yi's elder brother is the teacher of the government school, and he has two recommendation places for the school in his hand, and Yang Han has already reserved one by default.

Yang Du didn't dare to say anything, Yang Han warned him again, "I'll warn you again, don't provoke Fan Ning, do you hear me?"

"My child remembers!"

"Go! You are not allowed to drink soju in the future!"

"The child dare not be greedy!"

Yang Du saluted and left.

Yang Han was upset for a while, he became an alcoholic at a young age, what else can he do in the future?
