Great Song Super Scholar

Chapter 512
Today's lunch was quite boring. Hearing that Fan Ning wanted to go overseas again, the whole family was a little dissatisfied. Zhu Pei and Ouyang Qian didn't show their dissatisfaction on their faces, but Zhang Sanniang directly fired at her son.

"What on earth do you want to do? Your son is just over one year old and just learned to call daddy, and your daughter is only three years old. Just when you need your father's love, you slap your ass and run away, leaving the whole family behind and going overseas. When you come back, the grass on my grave will be a foot high."

Zhang Sanniang was really angry. The two daughters-in-law are still so young, so you left them at home as widows. Are you still a qualified husband?Even his father was inferior. Back then, his father opened a medical clinic in Mudu Town and knew how to rush home every night. How could this son be so irresponsible?

Fanning also counts on the support of his family!As a result, he was reprimanded by his mother first, and he said it so harshly, so he kept a straight face and said nothing.

Zhu Pei and Ouyang Qian exchanged glances, and Zhu Pei said, "Mother-in-law, my husband has ambitions and wants to start a career. As a family, we should support it, but I think there are actually ways to solve it. For example, when my husband worked in Kunzhou , I also followed, my husband has a career, and the family is very happy, the best of both worlds! Of course, the number of people in the family has increased, but there will always be a solution, what does my husband think?"

On the surface, Zhu Pei was persuading her mother-in-law, but actually she was hinting at Ning, don't think about flying alone and leaving us in the capital.

Ouyang Qian also cooperated in time and said: "To be honest, we are not inseparable from the capital. We lived very well in Jiangnan. Zhen'er was born in Jiangnan, and later in Yingtianfu. Everyone lived happily. I think the key is a family. People want to be together, as for where to live? It doesn’t really matter.”

Zhu Pei quietly kicked A Duo next to him, and A Duo quickly expressed his opinion, "I support the two sister-in-laws. The key is to keep the family together. It doesn't matter where you live!"

Seeing them singing together, Fan Ning could only sigh and said: "The key is that I want to go to Nanyang this time. Nanyang is not like Kunzhou. The weather in Nanyang is hot and there are many dangers, so I definitely can't take you with me when I go to sea. At most, I can move to Nanyang as a family." Quanzhou, the Overseas Economic and Strategy Office is there, so even if we are separated for a short time, it will be a month or two, and I will be in Quanzhou most of the time."

"Then move to Quanzhou!" Zhang Sanniang, as an elder, made the final decision.

Everyone reached a consensus, and the table immediately became lively, discussing Quanzhou, Zhu Pei asked Jian Meizi, "Sister Jian, you have been to Quanzhou, how is Quanzhou?"

There are still people here who have been to Quanzhou, everyone's eyes are looking at Jianmeizi, Jianmeizi blushed and said: "I went to Quanzhou with my master when I was young, and I stayed there for a year. I remember that the weather there is very good. It's neither hot nor cold, especially warm in winter and not hot in summer. The climate is much more comfortable than Beijing, but it's a little humid. In addition, Quanzhou is very prosperous, and it feels much more prosperous than Mingzhou. You can buy all kinds of weird things. .”

"Then is there any little monkey?" Fan Zhen'er interjected and asked.

Everyone laughed at once, Ouyang Qian glared at her daughter, "You are not allowed to play with little monkeys, they will scratch your face."

Fan Zhen'er's eyes showed fear, and he said timidly: "Little rabbit and little squirrel can do it!"

Jianmeizi smiled and said, "There are many flowers and small animals in Quanzhou. You will like them!"

"Okay!" Zhen'er clapped her hands happily, and suddenly she asked her father anxiously, "Daddy, are there any mountains over there?"

Fan Ning knew that the mountains her daughter cared about were not the mountains around the city, but the hills at home. Fan Ning said with a smile: "As long as you really go there, there must be!"

I really didn't care about eating, and ran out excitedly to find the wet nurse.

Ouyang Qian whispered to her husband: "Don't promise her now, what if you don't?"

"If not, let's build one!"

Fan Ning has always had no bottom line for her daughter's request.

Zhang Sanniang suddenly remembered something again, "A-Ning, Mingren and Mingli seem to be in Quanzhou!"

Fan Ning nodded with a smile and said, "The two of them are very popular in Quanzhou, and they are already the number one merchant in Quanzhou. Since the whole family is going to Quanzhou, I will write a letter first and ask them to take care of the house first."

Zhu Pei also said: "The Zhu family's business is also very big in Fuzhou and Quanzhou. There are three branches of Zhu's money shop in Quanzhou alone. My second uncle is resident in Quanzhou. Husband, do you think it is necessary to open another branch in Quanzhou?" Four money shops?"

Fan Ning understood what his wife meant, the Zhu's money shop in Quanzhou had nothing to do with them, it belonged to the Zhu family, and his wife meant that the Zhu's money shop in the capital was going to Quanzhou.

Fan Ning thought for a while and said, "There is no need to open a fourth one, you can buy one."

Zhu Pei laughed and said, "Then I'll write to my grandfather!"

Fan Ning is not worried that Zhu Yuanfu will not agree. He is now a high-ranking official of the third rank, the title of the Duke of the Second Rank, and has sealed five hundred households. With his current power, let alone buy a Zhu's money shop, as long as he As soon as you open your mouth, the Zhu family will offer it immediately, not a penny.

A family lunch that starts off dull and ends happily.

Two days later, the new year of Huangyou's eighth year came amidst sadness, but the inherent festive atmosphere of the new year's arrival still diluted the sadness of many emperors' death. In addition, business would have to stop during the new year, so all markets The suspension of business for several days did not affect the lives of the people.

A heavy snowfall fell one after another on the morning of New Year's Eve, which soon turned the entire capital into a snow-covered world. The laughter of children added a bit of joy to the New Year. Starting from New Year's Eve, all parts of the capital began to give up firecrackers.

Fan Ning stayed at home with his family on New Year's Day. He took his daughter up the hill in Fuchu, holding a big bag in his hand, which contained all kinds of dried fruits, such as chestnuts, hazelnuts, pine cones, and wheat cakes. , although Fan Ning explained to his daughter for a long time that the little squirrels, little rabbits and little hedgehogs would have food for the winter, but he still couldn't resist his daughter's tears and came to deliver food to the little animals himself.

"Really, let's put the food in the pavilion, okay? The snow can't cover it, and they will come and eat by themselves."

"Then are they cold? Do you want to put two clothes?" Zhen'er asked with red eyes.

Fan Ning couldn't help laughing, and patiently explained: "Are they all wearing leather jackets? You see, the little squirrels are covered with fur, but the little rabbits are. The fur is very long, and it won't be cold in winter."

"What about the little hedgehog? It has no hair."

"The little hedgehog is sleeping warmly at home! They will sleep all winter and wake up in spring, and we have a lot of food here, so they can't go hungry."

Fanning pointed to a chestnut tree and a walnut tree, which were transplanted a few months ago. Five fruit trees were transplanted, but in the end only these two fruit trees survived, and there are still many chestnut trees hanging on them. There is no fruit left.

Fan Ning was under the chestnut tree, picked up a bunch of chestnuts in a short while, Zhen'er was finally relieved, she put the food she brought in the pavilion, and followed her father back.

Her mother, Ouyang Qian, was busy packing up her things. Tomorrow she was going to pay New Year's greetings to her father. It was the first time her husband came to the house. She knew that tomorrow the house would be full of excitement. Her father's students would come to pay New Year's greetings, and the eldest brother's family would also come. She has to prepare gifts for her two younger sisters and three younger brothers who are already married.

Ouyang Qian's net worth is also very rich now. When she got married, Fan Ning gave her 500 taels of gold and [-] pearls as a dowry, and her monthly allowance was the same as Zhu Pei's, which was [-] guan. Later, after she gave birth to Fan Zhen'er, Fan Ning gave her [-] coins and thousands of acres of land, as well as two houses. Keeping it, she felt that she would have a son, and she was going to leave it to her son.

Of course, Ouyang Qian couldn't be as generous as the first time she came to the door. She gave her father three thousand coins at a time, and this time she mainly gave small gifts.

At this time, Fan Ning took his daughter back to the yard, Ah Zhen handed it to the nurse, and he himself entered his wife's room.

"Finally convinced the little guy!"

Fan Ning came in and said with a smile: "She wants to take all the squirrels and rabbits to Quanzhou. I explained to her that there are peach trees, pear trees, apricot trees, pine trees, chestnut trees, and walnut trees at home. There are so many mushrooms, enough for these small animals to eat, she finally figured it out."

Ouyang Qian sighed and said, "You dote on her too much, even pampering her. You are not so good to Jing Er, A Pei will feel uncomfortable."

"You don't understand this. A daughter needs to be pampered, and a son needs to be beaten. When she grows up, the daughter will not be tempted by money from outside, and the son will work harder. If you have another son, I will definitely not be like my real son." Pamper him like this."

"I really want to give birth!"

Fan Ning's eyes lit up, and he leaned forward and smiled, "Since you want to live, you have to act, and it's useless to talk about it."

"Go! Go! Go!"

Ouyang Qian pushed her husband away and complained to him: "It's broad daylight, what are you thinking?"

Fanning was just joking, his daughter would rush in at any time, and he sat beside him and asked, "Have you chosen the presents?"

Ouyang Qian said distressedly: "I plan to give the child and several younger siblings a pearl each, but I haven't thought about the gifts for the father and elder brother yet."

Fan Ning smiled slightly, "I will prepare the gifts for the father-in-law, and I will also consider for your elder brother. As for Xue's side, my mother plans to give her ten pieces of lake silk and a set of gold jewelry. I think it is almost the same."

"I don't want to give that woman anything." Ouyang Qian said bitterly.

Fan Ning comforted her and said, "I hate her too, but etiquette cannot be discarded. According to the rules of my hometown, it is enough for my mother to give her a gift."

"Then what gift do you plan to give my dad?"

"Of course it's Tianhuangshi and official kiln tea sets. I have three of the best Tianhuangshi in my study, and I don't even have Zhang Yaozuo. I'll give you one as a seal for your father, a set of official kiln Ru porcelain, and ten catties of dragon tea. What about your eldest brother?" At the same time, I will also give him a top-grade Tianhuang stone and a set of official kiln Jun porcelain tea cups."

This time the Zhang Yaozuo brothers were killed, and the Zhang brothers were prosecuted for rebellion. All the family properties of Zhang Yaozuo and Zhang Yaocheng were confiscated into the internal treasury.

In recognition of Fan Ning's contribution to escort, Empress Dowager Cao and Empress Dowager Gao rewarded Fan Ning with 5 taels of silver, ten sets of official kiln porcelain, and two hundred catties of dragon tea. An hectare of manor in the west of the city.

Ouyang Qian was happy in her heart. Daddy likes all these treasures, but it's a pity that he doesn't have any of them.
