Great Song Super Scholar

Chapter 38 Rural Divorce Cases
After about a quarter of an hour, Fan Ning waited anxiously, and Zhu Pei slowly walked out of the mansion.

She was still wearing a scholar's uniform, a golden crown on her head, and a dagger inlaid with gemstones on her waist, and the Great Sword Woman followed her not far behind her.

"You haven't left yet?" Jupe frowned.

This sentence made Fan Ning almost turn his head and leave, but when he thought of asking her, he kept telling himself, 'Take care of the overall situation, hold back! '

Seeing that Fan Ning was so angry, Zhu Pei showed an imperceptible smile in the corner of her eyes.

"What do you want from me?" Jupe put on an impatient look.

Fanning handed her the wooden box, "This is for you!"

"I don't care about your things."

Zhu Pei said that it was not rare, but he still took it, opened the box, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, "Have you repaired it?"

Zhu Pei tore up this collection of poems, and she felt very regretful in her heart. She stole it from her grandfather's study, and she would not be able to explain it if his grandfather asked him.

Fan Ning smiled and said, "I entrusted an elder to take it to Changzhou County for repair."

Zhu Pei looked at the repair traces again. Only Baoshutang could repair it to this extent.

Zhu Pei glanced at Fan Ning again, and said with a sneer, "I don't see how rich you are! Restoring this book will cost at least 30 taels of silver."

Fan Ning was startled, and Mr. Zhou actually paid 30 taels of silver for him.

He shook his head hastily, "I don't have any money, my elders paid for the restoration, and he owes me a favor."

"What kind of favor do I owe you?" Zhu Pei became interested and always wanted to ask the bottom line.

Fan Ning had no choice but to say: "I helped him find a top-quality Taihu stone. He is known as a stone idiot, so he is very grateful to me."

Zhu Pei suddenly came to his senses, "You said yes... Uncle Zhou, the stone idiot?"

"You know him too?"

"Of course I know! My grandfather is also his friend. He often comes to my house. No, he brought a Taihu stone to my grandfather a few days ago. It is a column-shaped Taihu stone. Grandpa is very envious. Could it be that You helped him find the stone?"

Fan Ning nodded, "That's the one. I found it in Qishi Lane on the first day of school."

Zhu Pei rolled her eyes, and she said slowly: "For the sake of your attitude, I don't care about you bullying me, and I don't want you to apologize, but I want you to promise me one thing."

"Say it! As long as I can do it."

Fan Ning's attitude is very good, as long as little loli's grandfather is willing to help him, his own face will be put aside.

Seeing that Fan Ning agreed to him without hesitation, Zhu Pei felt a lot more comfortable, and a smile appeared on his face.

"That's right. My grandfather's 60th birthday will be in a few months. I want to give him a birthday gift. Help me find a top-quality Taihu stone."

"No problem, I promise you." Fanning agreed without hesitation.

"Today is weird!"

Zhu Pei looked Fan Ning up and down, "Fan Ah Dai seems to be a different person, I don't know him anymore, is there anything you want to ask me for help?"

Fan Ning grinned, this stinky girl is so shrewd, she is like a roundworm in her stomach.

Zhu Pei is so smart, she saw through Fan Ning's expression at once, and she said triumphantly: "Tell me! I am in a good mood today, maybe I can really help you."

"Something happened at home and I want to ask your grandfather to help."

Fanning stepped forward and told about the third uncle, Zhu Pei covered his mouth and laughed.

"It's quite interesting to recruit a son-in-law!"

She cast a quick glance at Fanning out of the corner of her eye.

"Okay! Come with me, I'll go find my grandfather."

Fan Ning was overjoyed, and quickly cupped his fists and smiled, "Thank you! Thank you!"

． ． ． ． ． ． ．

When Fan Ning walked into the Zhu Mansion, he felt that he had entered a garden, with pavilions, pavilions and winding paths everywhere, precious flowers and trees everywhere, mosaic cobblestones on the ground, and various Taihu Lake stones dotted in the garden. .

Fan Ning thought of the Humble Administrator's Garden, and he couldn't help sighing in his heart, "As expected of the richest family in Pingjiang Mansion!"

But Zhu Pei was secretly observing Fan Ning's expression, seeing his eyes full of emotions, he secretly despised him, he didn't know anything about a country boy, and this broken garden made his expression so exaggerated. It scared him to death.

Zhu Pei brought Fan Ning to a small courtyard, "You wait here, I'll go find my grandfather!"

Zhu Pei left in a hurry, Fan Ning couldn't sit still, and walked into the yard again. There was a hundred-year-old osmanthus in the yard. Under the tree were stone tables and benches. The ground was paved with white and blue pebbles to form a few cranes, which was quite elegant.

He saw a small door not far away, so he walked slowly and looked into the door with his head.

There is also a small courtyard on the other side, but it is relatively simple, a bit like a place where servants live. There is also a vegetable field in the yard, where small vegetables are grown.

"Xiao Lang give way!" An old voice came from behind.

When Fan Ning turned around, she saw a very thin old lady standing behind her, holding a tin watering pot for watering flowers in her hand. She was wearing a headscarf and a short blue-and-white-spotted commoner jacket with black wide trousers underneath. Wear a pair of old cloth shoes.

This dress is exactly the same as my grandmother's, which is the common dress of old ladies in the country.

Her face was wrinkled like oranges, and she seemed to have only one tooth left. Her mouth was pursed, and she looked at Fanning curiously.

Seeing her struggling with the water bottle, Fan Ning quickly took it over, "Grandma, I'll help you!"

"Thank you!"

The old lady hunched over and walked slowly to the vegetable field, "Oh! The leaves are frosted."

She knelt down and touched a vegetable leaf distressedly. It turned out that she planted this small vegetable patch.

"Grandma, let me water you!"

"Do you know how?"

"I will, I also grow vegetables at home."

The vegetables in this season are delicate, but also very sweet, so be careful when watering them. They should not be watered on the leaves and cores of the vegetables, otherwise they will be easily damaged by freezing. They must be watered around the roots of the vegetables.

Fanning carefully poured water on each dish.

The old lady saw that his hands were steady and watered evenly, so she pursed her lips and laughed, "Xiao Lang really knows how to do things."

Fan Ning scratched his head embarrassingly, "Grandma is so old, she still grows vegetables!"

"I just like it, planting it for fun. They told me to grow flowers. I don't like it. Flowers can't be eaten. How can I grow vegetables? I'm so happy to watch it grow up every day and eat it!"

"My grandma grows vegetables too."

"How old is your grandma?"

"It's more than 50 years old!"

"That's much younger than me, my daughter is older than your grandma."

Fan Ning was startled, how old is this wife, she must not be in her [-]s!

"My old ancestor!"

An anxious voice came from behind, and Fan Ning turned around, only to see Zhu Pei's grandfather running up to support the old lady, "Why did you not pay attention, you came here to grow vegetables again!"

The old lady pointed to the vegetables and said, "I just plant them for fun!"

"Oh! I want to plant it next year when the weather is warmer. Now it's so cold, please don't come out."

The old lady grinned, showing one tooth, she pointed at Fanning and said, "I like this young man!"

Grandpa Zhu Pei smiled wryly: "Next time, ask him to come and talk with you."

"Let him pour the vegetables for me!"

The old lady is like a child, making people laugh and cry.

Fan Ning nodded quickly, "I will help grandma water the vegetables!"

At this time, Zhu Pei ran in and quickly supported her, "Great-grandmother, I've been looking for you everywhere, come back with me."

It turns out that this old lady is Zhu Pei's great-grandmother, a very interesting old lady who likes to grow vegetables.

Zhu Pei's grandfather was Zhu Yuanfu, and he apologized to Fan Ning: "This is my old mother, she is 83 years old, just like a child, she slipped out without paying attention."

Fan Ning said with a smile: "An old man in a family is better than a treasure. The old man is blessed!"

"We hope her old man can live in peace like this."

Zhu Yuanfu smiled and said, "Fan Xiaoyou, it's cold outside, let's sit in the room!"

The two came to the living room and sat down, a little maid came in and served tea, Zhu Yuanfu took a sip of the tea and said with a smile, "Thank you Shaolang for repairing that book of poems."

Fan Ning's words soared, "Doesn't the veteran know about this?"

"How could I not know? An old ancestor and a young ancestor in our family are all people who can't be messed with, so I have to pretend not to know."

Fan Ning was a little embarrassed, "I'm not right about that either."

"You don't need to say it. I understand very well that this granddaughter is spoiled by me. Speaking of which, I would also like to thank you for protecting her in the school."

Fan Ning felt ashamed, this little lady didn't need to protect herself.

Zhu Yuanfu smiled again: "Actually, I have been paying attention to you for a long time. I heard Zhou Yuanwai say that you were not smart when you were young, and you were relatively slow, but suddenly you became very smart. Even Fan Xianggong was full of praise for you. Can you Tell me, what made you suddenly smart?"

Fanning scratched his head, this question is really difficult to answer.

Zhu Yuanfu knew that he was asking abruptly, so he quickly explained: "Pei'er has a little brother who lives in the capital, so he has a problem here..."

Zhu Yuanfu pointed to his head, sighed and said, "He is 15 years old, but he has always been like a three or four year old child. He is the biggest heart disease in our family!"

Only then did Fanning know that Zhu Pei also had a silly brother.

But he really couldn't explain it, he couldn't say that he wasn't Fan Daidai!

Fan Ning lowered his head and thought for a moment: "Actually, I have always understood it in my heart, but I just couldn't express it, as if I was blocked by something. Then I got a serious illness and my mind cleared up all of a sudden. It's probably like this."

Zhu Yuanfu nodded, "It seems that it needs a coincidence, and there is no rush."

The two picked up their cups for tea again, at which point Zhu Yuanfu smiled and said, "Pei'er has already told me about your third uncle, as the saying goes, it is better to demolish ten temples than one family, do you really want your third uncle to divorce? "

Fan Ning said: "Now our Fan family has been forced into a corner. The Lu family is too bullying. We are all from the same village. Once we lose, our Fan family will lose face in all directions. In my father's words, we will not be able to hold our heads up again." .”

Zhu Yuanfu laughed, "Okay! I will accompany you for a walk in the afternoon."
