Great Song Super Scholar

Chapter 82

Fan Ning walked around Chai's Grocery Store. This grocery store is really big, at least four times the size of Lao Fan's Grocery Store. If Lao Fan's Grocery Store is a small supermarket, then Chai's Grocery Store is a big one. stores.

With such a scale, the grocery stores in the west of the city are bound to be crushed.

The store was full of customers shopping, and almost every item was much cheaper than Lao Fan's grocery store. This situation will continue for three months, and it is certain that the second uncle's grocery store will be closed.

Once the surrounding grocery stores are closed, Lao Chai's grocery store will monopolize the source of customers in the west of the city, and profits will continue to flow.

In the final analysis, business competition is still about capital and scale. In the face of capital predators, a small fish like Second Uncle cannot survive.

Fan Ning put the copper pot back on the shelf, and left Chai's Grocery Store empty-handed.

"A Ning!"

As soon as Fan Ning walked out of the grocery store, two cousins, Mingren and Mingli, jumped to his side and held him hostage.

"I have good news for you!" One of them said with a smile.

Another person added with a smile, "The marriage event you dreamed of is completely gone."

"Wait a minute!"

Fan Ning grabbed their hands and looked at them, pointing to the guy on the right and said with a smile: "You are Akihito!"

"Then you are Mingli!" Fan Ning smiled again to the cousin on the left.

The two brothers looked at each other, shook their heads together and said: "Ask and answer, I really don't know how this guy can win the championship of the county scholar competition, he can't grasp the point at all!"

"Perhaps the guys who competed with him were even more stupid, hey! I wish I had known that we would also sign up for the county magistrate competition."

"Don't regret it! Two big brothers."

Fan Ning was angry and funny, and there was nothing he could do about the twins.

"I know what you want to say. Did the Wu family officially reject the second uncle?"

"Speaking of the Wu family, let me tell you another interesting thing."

Halfway through Ming Ren's speech, Ming Li smiled again and continued, "On the second day of your blind date, another child prodigy went to Wu's family for a blind date. His name is Zhao Changgeng. You know this person!"

Fan Ning nodded and said with a smile: "I know, the county magistrate of Changqing Academy ranked eighth in the end."

"That's the man, he's worse than you on a blind date, the white copper belt came out, and the maid also recognized the wrong person, but he was recognized by the Wu family, there's no way, who made his family rich?

I heard that Wu Liu'er met him again, Wu Liu'er is so beautifully dressed!Sai Xue with crystal clear skin, that. ． ．Second child, how do you say those lines? "

Akihito nudged Mingli with his elbow.

"Clarify the shadow of makeup on the singing fan, loose the fragrance of clothes on the dance wind, wipe the pearls on the robe, and pass the gold and emerald cup to the plain hand!" Ming Li added in time.

"Yes! It's so beautiful that even Zhao Changgeng was dumbfounded."

"Is that because of the concubine's love, and the two of them have made a marriage?" Fan Ning asked with great interest.

"Of course!"

Their eyes were full of teasing, "The Wu family is greedy for the Zhao family's family background, and the Zhao family is interested in the Wu family's property. Isn't this marriage a match made in heaven?"

"What are you talking about so badly? The two of you agree with each other!"

"This marriage has twists and turns!

That miser Wu Yuanwai heard that you got the first place in the county examination, so he regretted it a bit. He came to my father the night before yesterday and said that his daughter has a soft spot for you and wants to marry you. He said two days ago that Wu I will go to your house to propose marriage, Aning, congratulations! "

"Congratulations you bastard!"

Fan Ning was a little dumbfounded, and asked again: "And then?"

"Then I heard that Wu Liu'er was looking for life and death at home, and she was determined to marry Zhao Langjun. It is estimated that there will be changes in the Wu family again. Aning, you have to be strong, and the man should put his future first. When you are admitted to Jinshi, Wu Liu'er will regret it. go."

Fan Ning didn't bother to chat with them, so he tapped the two of them with a fan, "You guys are getting farther and farther away, I'm here to see you for something important!"

"The villain is here, please tell the county magistrate!"

"You don't need a villain to kneel down to obey orders, right?" Ming Ren pretended to be panicked.

"You two, be more serious!"

The two brothers looked at each other angrily, "Second brother, he is saying that we are not serious!"

"Okay! I can't afford to offend you two, see you later!"

As soon as Fan Ning took a few steps pretending to be angry, the two brothers ran up smiling, holding his arms from left to right, "Ah Ning, don't be angry, talk about business, talk about business, we are serious now!"

Fan Ning stopped in his tracks, looked at the two of them and said, "I heard from my second uncle that you two plan to take the county school exam?"

Akihito scratched his head, "It's not that I plan to take the exam, but I've already taken it."

Another added: "It just didn't pass."

Fan Ning said with a smile: "It seems that there is another chance in May, do you two want to give it a try?"

The two brothers reacted very quickly, and immediately asked, "A-Ning, do you have any cheats for taking the county school exam?"

Fan Ning shook his head with a smile, "I don't have any cheats yet, but if you guys want to take the exam in May, I can compile a copy."

The two brothers were overjoyed, "With this cheat book compiled by the child prodigy, we can make a fortune!"

Fan Ning rolled his eyes in anger, as expected of his second uncle's son, who is so good at seizing "business opportunities", compared with their brothers, he regards money as dirt.

At this moment, the second uncle Fan Tiege was waving and shouting in the distance: "Ning'er, something is going on here!"

Fan Ning knew there was news when he saw two servants standing at the door of the shop.

He hastily walked up to meet him, and an official came forward and saluted, "Young official, the county lord invites you to the county government."

"I see, I'll go right away!"

Fan Ning said to his second uncle Fan Tiege again: "Second Uncle, I'll go back directly later."

Fan Tiege was really upset, this brat didn't tell the truth to himself, he didn't go to Xuezheng, he obviously went to the county magistrate.

Fan Tiege glared at him, and said angrily: "What's the hurry, come back first!"

"All right!"

Fan Ning saw that the second uncle was a little unhappy, so he didn't dare to insist anymore. He waved to the twin brothers, and then followed the tolerance to the county government.

． ． ． ． ． ． ．

When I came to the back hall of the county government office, I saw Li Yun, the county magistrate, bowing his head and thinking about something. Fan Ning quickly stepped forward and bowed to salute, "Students see the county magistrate!"

"Fan Shaolang, please come in!"

Li Yun invited Fan Ning to come in with a smile, picked up a cloth bag from under the table, and carefully placed it on the table. He untied the cloth bag, revealing a majestic Taihu Lake stone.

It is Fanning's Mountain and Stream Traveling Stone.

"According to Li Quan's account, this stone was stolen from your home, there is nothing wrong with that!"

Fan Ning stepped forward to look at the stone, and found that it was in good condition. He breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly bowed and said, "Thank you, the county lord, for finding the beloved object for the students."

"It's a pity that the white jade fan pendant has not been found yet. It is probably on Zhou Damao's body. His whereabouts are unknown now. The county has dispatched capable arresters to arrest him quickly. You have to wait patiently for a few days."

Now Fan Ning hoped that this Zhou Da Mao would go into exile and never come back.

He bowed and said, "Students will wait patiently!"

Li Yun gently stroked the stone again, and asked casually, "Where did you get this top-quality Taihu stone?"

How could Fan Ning fail to understand the county magistrate's hint? The county magistrate actually knew that this was a top-quality Taihu stone, and he also understood stones!

Seeing that his eyes became a little eager, Fan Ning said apologetically, "I found this Taihu stone by accident from the Qishi Lane in Mudu Town. If the county lord likes it, it's okay to give it to the county lord, but Mr. Zhu People also love it very much, and I have promised Zhu Daguan that this Taihu stone will be given to him as a birthday gift."

When Li Yun heard that he had given it to Zhu Yuanfu, he was a little disappointed. Although he himself liked Taihu stones, he was not obsessed with them, but his father-in-law was very obsessed with collecting Taihu stones.

In particular, my father-in-law wrote a letter two days ago, asking me to get him a batch of Taihu stones, which he would use as a gift.

This piece of Taihu Lake stone, which is exactly the same as the picture of traveling in Xishan, is really rare. I believe my father-in-law will definitely love it. Even though it is stolen goods, Li Yun couldn't help but be moved.

But Li Yun is not a reckless person, he knows the background of the Zhu family, although this stone is good, he dare not be greedy for ink easily, if it offends the Zhu family, it will not be worth the loss if it affects his official career.

Fan Ning looked at his words and saw the disappointment in Li Yun's eyes. He thought to himself, "It seems that if I don't give him an explanation today, I'm afraid this county magistrate will be annoyed." '

Fan Ning calmly directed the disaster to the east, "Actually, there are many famous stones hidden in the Xuji Museum of Strange Stones. If the county lord is interested, you can visit them."

One sentence immediately reminded Li Yun, yes!Why didn't I think of the Kistler Pavilion?

Li Yun thought that the Xu family actually sent someone to send a statement that Li Quan's theft was his personal act and had nothing to do with the Xu family. Li Yun couldn't help but sneered in his heart. The white jade fan pendant bestowed by the emperor has not been found yet. How could it be so easy for the Xu family? get away?
He immediately laughed and said: "This Taihu stone is very rare, I believe Zhu Daguan will definitely like it, take it!"

"Students thank the county magistrate again!"

Fan Ning stepped forward and hugged the Taihu Stone in his arms, saluted Li Yun, and retreated.

At this time, Lu Yougen, the head of the capital, hurried forward and handed a confession to Li Yun, "Mr. County, this is the confession that Li Quan took the initiative to expose. The Xuji Qishi Museum has seriously evaded taxes for 15 years!"

Li Yun laughed coldly, he was dozing off when the pillow was delivered.

. . . . . .
Fan Ning put the Xishan Traveling Stone on the table, which immediately aroused the strong interest of Fan Tiege and his son.

"Is this the stone?"

The two brothers were amazed, "It's worth 500 taels of silver?"

"This stone only looks majestic, why is it so expensive?" Fan Tiege asked puzzled.

Fan Ning smiled slightly, "Does Second Uncle know Fan Kuan?"

Fan Tiege nodded, "Of course I know. The famous painter of our Fan family is known as the 'Northern School of Painting'. Is this stone related to him?"

In the Song Dynasty, there were no photos or electronic pictures, and most of the works of famous masters were passed down through copying. After all, only a few people have admired them, so it is normal for someone like Fan Tiege to only hear about their names but never see their paintings.

Fan Ning explained with a smile: "Fan Kuan has a famous painting called "Traveling in Streams and Mountains". The county magistrates are fascinated by it."

"Then how did you get it?" Ming Ren and Ming Li asked curiously again.

Fan Ning didn't hide anything, so he told his father and son in detail how he bought the stone with three pennies. He was especially implying to the second uncle that the peddler bought the stone for only a few tens of pennies .

The two brothers were yearning for it leisurely, and Mingren slammed his fist on the table, "I've decided, tomorrow I'll go to the villages of Taihu Lake to buy stones."

Ming Li hugged his brother's shoulders, with poetic sadness in his eyes, "The road to getting rich is lonely and far away, and the money is too heavy for you alone, plus me!"

"You two idiots!" Fan Tiege was furious.

He glared at his two sons viciously, straightened his neck and roared angrily: "Hurry up and go back to my room to do my homework, and go to school honestly tomorrow morning, and stop thinking about it!"

The two brothers made faces at Fanning and ran away like rabbits.
