Great Song Super Scholar

Chapter 50
Fan Ning ran home in one breath, got into the study and impatiently took out two stones.

He looked at Tian Huangshi first. Part of the gray-white outer skin had peeled off, exposing the warm and yellow body inside. If all the outer skin was peeled off, the shape should be egg-shaped, the size of a grapefruit.

This is the best frozen Ishida yellow!The whole stone is transparent, shining with glass luster, like solidified honey, extremely moist, with fine radish patterns densely distributed on it, dense and well-organized.

In later generations, one gram of Tianhuang would exceed the price of gold more than ten times, but unfortunately, people in the Song Dynasty were not very interested in it.

Fan Ning put down the Tianhuang stone and held up the Taihu stone.

He now has a good understanding of Taihu stones. If Taihu stones are perfectly developed, they can be called top-grade or high-quality products, but to be called top-grade, there must be something rare.

For example, the Thousand Hole Stone last time is because of its thousands of holes and exquisiteness, there is no one in a million.

And this Taihu stone looks like a big mountain, the mountain is majestic, and it has a somewhat image of Mount Tai, which makes people look up to the mountains.

If there is no Fan Kuan's "Traveling in Streams and Mountains", this Taihu stone can only be regarded as top-grade, and it can barely be called a fine product.

But it is because of the "Traveling in Xishan Mountains" that this Taihu Lake stone is endowed with soul and can be upgraded to the best. This Taihu Lake stone is naturally also called Xishan Traveling Stone.

The more Fan Ning watched, the more he liked them. Although he wanted to keep the two stones for himself, he had no choice but to part with them for his own money-making plan.

This stone is not going to be sold to Zhou Lin. Zhou Lin offered a slightly lower price. Fan Ning needs to wait for the opportunity to sell it at the price of the capital.

At this time, the mother's voice came from the yard, "Ning'er!"

"I am coming!"

Fanning hid the two stones and rushed downstairs.

"Mom, are you asking me to eat?"

"Every time I call you, I know what to eat!"

Zhang Sanniang glared at him angrily, "Mother doesn't even know when you came back?"

"I just came back. I was in a hurry to urinate and ran to the toilet."

Zhang Sanniang pointed to the living room, "There is a little lady delivering a letter to you this afternoon, and she is in the living room!"

"Little girl?"

Fan Ning scratched his head in confusion, "Who is it?"

"The letter is on the table, read it yourself."

Fanning turned around and walked into the living room. Sure enough, there was a letter on the table. He glanced at it and jumped up immediately.

"Mom! Is she a pretty girl dressed like a kid?"

Zhang Sanniang's face darkened, "You are not allowed to say that about her, such a gentle, amiable, well-educated little lady is actually called a pretty girl by you, are you itchy again, brat?"

Fan Ning rolled his eyes, gentle and amiable, knowledgeable and reasonable, are you talking about Zhu Pei?
． ． ． ． ． ． ． ．
After 25, the New Year is coming soon, 25, grind tofu; 26, go to buy meat; 27, kill a rooster. ． ． ． ． ． ．

On the 28th, the sound of firecrackers in the town began to sound. Every household was pasting door symbols, hanging Spring Festival couplets, preparing Tusu wine, and cleaning thoroughly. Groups of children put on new clothes and ran around.

The school will be closed at noon on the 28th, and classes will start on the sixth day of the first month.

As soon as school was over, Fan Ning took Liu Kang to Qishi Lane.

Liu Kang heard that Fan Ning's pillar-shaped Taihu stone sold for ten pennies, a full ten times the profit, which made him itchy, so he pestered Fan Ning to make him a small fortune.

Fan Ning wanted to find another piece of Tianhuangshi. The grapefruit-sized Tianhuangshi was only two hundred yuan. If he didn't wipe out all the Tianhuangshi in Qishi Lane, he felt that he would be committing a crime.

But the result was beyond the two's expectations. Qishi Alley was empty, without a single vendor. They all went home to celebrate the New Year, and even the shops were locked up with big locks and signs saying they were closed for the New Year.

Frustrated, the two had no choice but to go home depressed.

On the road, Fan Ning suddenly remembered something, and went to his father's clinic as soon as he turned the corner.

Surgeons are indeed very busy. In ancient times, people worked by hand, and they would sprain their injuries at every turn. Everyone was busy earning money to support their families, and they couldn't stop all day. Few people would lie at home to recuperate leisurely.

In order to recover as soon as possible, everyone will come to the doctor for treatment.

Fan Tiezhou was as busy as a spinning top, and couldn't stop for a moment. Fan Ning was sitting beside him, watching his father cure his illness with his strange tricks.

"What's the matter?"

Fan Tiezhou finally took a breath after seeing off a patient.

"Daddy, I want to go back to Jiangwan Village."

"Now?"

Fan Tiezhou was taken aback, he didn't have time now.

"Tomorrow!"

Fan Ning hesitated and said, "I want to visit Grandma, and then I will go to Second Uncle Wang's house. Didn't you say that he left some stones for me last time?"

Fan Tiezhou couldn't help laughing, "You've got it wrong! I want to go to Uncle Wang's house, and then I'll visit Grandma."

"It's all the same thing!"

Fan Ning scratched his head and smiled, "It's not easy to rent a boat for Chinese New Year, can Daddy take me there tomorrow?"

Fan Tiezhou laughed, "Your mother is going to grandma's house tomorrow, so you can go with her. It's very close anyway, so just take some time to go to Jiangwan Village."

． ． ． ． ． ． ．

Fanning's mother's natal family was from Xiaoyan Village, less than three miles away from Jiangwan Village, on the other side of the mountain.

Xiaoyan Village is also a small village with thirty or forty families, more than half of whom are surnamed Zhang.

People here mainly make a living by farming. Fan Ning's grandfather is a middle farmer, and the family has more than [-] acres of farmland.

Zhang Taigong has only one son and one daughter. The eldest daughter is Zhang Sanniang, who married Fan Tiezhou, a fisherman from a neighboring village ten years ago.

The son is Zhang Ping, a very capable young man. He married his wife five years ago and gave birth to a daughter. Currently, the husband and wife are working hard to give birth to a big fat boy as soon as possible.

Fan Ning and his mother went to Xiaoyan Village on Grandfather Shuigen's boat, and Zhang Shuigen's boat happened to be free today.

"Niece, you are very lucky! Tie Zhou has become a doctor, and his income has increased several times. He has also moved to the town and has his own big house. Your father praises you everywhere in the village!"

Zhang Shuigen praised all the way, but Zhang Sanniang was a little silent. Looking at the villages on the road, she felt an indescribable loss in her heart.

She misses her old house more and more. Although the new house is spacious and bright, she feels very lonely, and there is no one to talk to, unlike in Jiangwan Village, where seven aunts and eight aunts, a group of women gather together to chat. The east and the west are short, and half a day passed.

Although the three huts are dilapidated, they are warm and happy!
It's not like now, after living for more than a month, the neighbors across the street didn't even say a word, and the hostess walked past her face to face, turning a blind eye.

"Ning'er, let's move back to Jiangwan Village!" Zhang Sanniang blurted out.

"Mother, you really want to go back, I have no objection." Fanning laughed.

Zhang Sanniang sighed, she was just talking, how could she really move back.

She moved to the town and made the whole village envious. Every villager who came to the town would be amazed when they visited her house. All kinds of envy and hatred really made her proud for a month.

If she moved back now, wouldn't the villagers laugh at her to death? She couldn't afford to lose face like this.

Besides, what about Dalang?He lives alone in the town, just in case. ． ． ． ． ．
The consequences were simply unimaginable, a hint of anger appeared on Zhang Sanniang's face, how dare he!

Fan Ning was considerate of his mother, so he smiled and said, "Mother, it's better to hire a maid! I can talk to you at ordinary times."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Shuigen said: "Niece, if you want to hire a maid, just tell me, my granddaughter just wants to find someone to work with, and the one you have seen is Xiao Ping'er."

Zhang Sanniang gave her son a hard look, who made you troublesome?Make it hard for her now.

Fanning stuck out his tongue and turned his head away. Why are the old man's ears so long?
Zhang Sanniang had no choice but to politely decline, "Third Uncle, wait a moment! I don't need it at home for the time being. When I need it, I will definitely come to you."

"Okay! She is actually working at Lizheng's house, but you also know that the wages paid in the countryside are too low, only thirty cents a day, while in the town as a maid, you are paid fifty cents a day."

Zhang Sanniang rolled her eyes, Xiao Ping'er was only seven years old, she was sent out to be a servant girl, and she was a relative who came to her house to be a servant girl or to raise a daughter?
Even though she is pretty, she admits that she will be a companion for her son in the future, but she is still so ugly, and her skin is darker than her husband's.

She won't want it!
． ． ． ． ． ． ． ．
Although it was cold winter, the Jiangnan River did not freeze, and the boat sailed fast. It took half an hour to arrive at Xiaoyan Village, where Fan Ning met his grandparents and uncle.

Needless to say this compliment, Fan Ning even ate two glutinous rice dumplings made by his grandmother, and he wanted to sneak away to Jiangwan Village.

Fan Ning was hooked in his heart, wondering what the Taihu stone that Uncle Wang left for him would look like.

Fortunately, there happened to be something at home, and grandpa and uncle couldn't take care of him, so his mother Zhang Sanniang let him go.

From Xiaoyan Village to Jiangwan Village, you can go around a mountain ridge, about three miles, and it will be closer if you walk in a straight line.

After Fan Ning replaced Fan Dada, he once visited his grandmother's house with his mother, and he still remembered the way.

He walked along the straight path to the other side of the mountain ridge, meeting villagers visiting relatives from time to time along the way.

"Dumb, long time no see!"

"Dumb, can you tell your father that people in the village don't need to charge money for medical treatment."

Why!

Fan Ning felt contemptuous in his heart, and speeded up, not long after, he saw Jiangwan Village.

With excitement in his heart, he walked through a bamboo forest and walked towards the village.

Just as he was about to walk out of the bamboo grove, he suddenly stopped, and saw his fourth uncle Fan Tongzhong sneaking up from the opposite side, looking around.

"There's a ghost!"

Speaking of ghosts, Fan Ning suddenly remembered something, turned his head and looked, hum!Isn't Widow Yang's house just to the east of the bamboo forest?
Fanning ducked and crouched behind a rock.

After a while, Fan Tongzhong approached the bamboo forest, but he didn't come in. Instead, he walked east along the path in front of the bamboo forest, and that was Widow Yang's house.

Soon he entered the yard of Widow Yang's house in a flash, and the figure disappeared.

"Fucking shit, stealing chickens and dogs all day long, not doing business properly!"

Fan Ning cursed fiercely, and kicked the stone with his foot. He almost screamed out in a burst of pain, why is the stone so sharp?

He couldn't help but carefully looked at the stone.

"what--"
