Great Song Super Scholar

Chapter 138 Seeing Zhu Pei Again
Fan Ning recognized the carriage parked in front of the Kistler Museum from a distance. Two years ago, this carriage had parked at the gate of the county school many times, the familiar figure, and the female guard with the big sword that he remembered deeply.

Could it be that Jupe is back?
It shouldn't be her, Fanning convinced himself again.

This carriage was not Zhu Pei's special carriage, but the carriage used by Zhu's family to pick up and drop off distinguished guests, which happened to be used by Zhu Pei at that time.

Even though he thought so, Fan Ning still speeded up and ran towards the Kistler Hall.

He ran to the entrance of the Kistler Pavilion in one breath, and at a glance he saw a tall woman standing near the entrance of the store, with a familiar broad sword behind her back, and a long thick braid dragging to her hips, it was Zhu. Pei's personal bodyguard, Jian Meizi.

I haven't seen her for two years, and she hasn't changed much. She wears a short jacket embroidered with silver plum blossoms on a black background, a pair of wide and cool green silk trousers underneath, and a pair of embroidered shoes that are at least size 45.

Jian Meizi felt extremely keen. She sensed someone behind her. When she turned her head, a pair of sharp eyes fell on Fan Ning's face like a sword.

She was startled for a moment, and then a rare smile appeared on her face, but this smile was like a spring in the cold winter, and disappeared after a short moment.

She returned to her usual cold face, turned her head away, and ignored Fan Ning.

But even with this kind of indifference, Fanning felt very cordial, as if reunited with it after a long absence.

Fan Ning smiled and walked into the store. Several employees were standing aside, looking a little nervous. Second uncle Fan Tiege was reporting in a calm manner with a ledger.

"This month, five pieces of top-grade Taihu stones were sold, 670 pieces of middle-grade Taihu stones were sold, and the store of low-grade Taihu stones was not in operation. The total amount was [-] Qiguan."

Fan Ning's eyes fell on the front of the shelf, and he saw a slender figure with his back turned to him, and that familiar feeling came to him.

It's her. I haven't seen her for two years. She has grown a lot taller, like a little butterfly emerging from a cocoon, or like a deer that has just been stripped. Her body has begun to develop. She is slender and thin. There was such a girlish feeling.

She was wearing a silver fringed beige, combed with a double-snail bun, her long hair was coiled on her head, making her appear blacker and thicker, with a snow-white neck under her hair, she was looking at a Taihu stone on a shelf, without Noticed Fanning walking into the shop.

At this moment, Fan Tiege's report stopped, and he only spoke halfway through, which made Zhu Pei feel a little strange. He couldn't help but looked back, but happened to see Fan Ning's playful smile.

There was a hint of surprise in Zhu Pei's beautiful eyes, but her snow-white pretty face blushed, and she was suddenly extremely shy.She was a little at a loss, turned around and walked out of the store.

"Juppe!"

Fan Ning called out to her and hurriedly chased her out.

Zhu Pei stopped, and the shyness on her face finally returned to normal. She slowly turned her head and looked at Fan Ning with a half-smile, "You brat, still remember me?"

"How could I forget you?"

Fan Ning scratched his head with a smile and said, "You seem to have changed a bit."

"Where have I changed?" There was a mischievous smile in Zhu Pei's pretty eyes.

"Yeah! I've grown a lot taller, and I seem to have lost a lot of weight, and my face has also become thinner."

Two years ago, Zhu Pei was still a round and beautiful little lady. Now, the jaw has been contoured, and the shape of an oval face has emerged. The nose is high and straight, and the pink mouth is also contoured, but it is still moist and delicate.

The beautiful eyebrows are like two slender crescent moons, under the beautiful eyebrows, a pair of pretty eyes are still black and white, shining like two jewels.

In a special detail, Fanning found that her breasts were also starting to protrude.

She used to be a pink and tender little lady, but now she is already a delicate and beautiful girl.

"Don't you know me?" Zhu Pei asked with a smile.

"no!"

Fan Ning shook his head quickly, "Although the appearance has changed a bit, the feeling has not changed. The first time I saw you, the familiar feeling, I knew you were back."

"nonsense!"

Zhu Pei smiled and said, "You only knew it was me when you saw Sister Jian, otherwise you wouldn't know me if you passed by on the street."

Fan Ning spread his hands, "If you don't believe me, I can't help it, Jupe, let me treat you to dinner, I haven't had lunch yet!"

"Okay! Go to the Shanzhen Pavilion, I miss the stewed mushrooms there very much."

Not long after, the two sat down by the window on the second floor of the Shanzhen Pavilion, and the mansion of the Zhu Mansion could be seen from the window in the distance.

Fan Ning ordered a few stewed wild vegetable dishes, and another stewed pheasant.

"Can I drink?" Fanning asked with a smile.

Ju Pei shook his head, "I don't want wine, but a can of iced pear juice."

After a while, the bartender served them food and drink, and another guy brought a wooden basin full of crushed ice, and in the middle was a black earthenware jar, which contained freshly squeezed pear juice.

The juice extractor in the Song Dynasty was actually a small stone mill. Put a piece of cut pears into the stone hole in the middle, and slowly push the mill, and the pear juice would flow out along the stone trough.

Fan Ning picked up the clay pot, slowly filled Jupe's wine cup with a glass of ice-cold pear juice, and asked with a smile, "I still don't know when you came back?"

The shyness of seeing Fan Ning for the first time had faded away, and Zhu Pei returned to her usual expression. She took a sip of iced pear juice, and her smile bloomed like a flower.

"Let's go early this morning! Arrive at Mudu at dawn, and I also said that I will go to the county seat tomorrow."

"What are you going to do in the county?" Fan Ning couldn't help but asked with a smile.

Zhu Pei blushed, "Of course I went to see my little sister. I wouldn't go to you anyway. To be honest, if it wasn't for the Kistler Pavilion, I would have forgotten you a long time ago."

"Too shocking!"

Fan Ning patted his forehead, pretending to be depressed and said: "I thought Xu Qing was sent by you."

"Don't be so sentimental, Xu Qing was sent by my grandfather, okay? It has nothing to do with me. Don't forget, my guard is Sister Jian."

Having said that, Zhu Pei triumphantly glanced at Jianmeizi who was eating at another table.

"By the way! How is your grandfather's health? Did you come together this time?"

Zhu Pei shook his head, "Grandfather will not end his mourning until the end of the year, because he is a great-grandmother, so he will be a little more relaxed about our juniors, and the mourning period for our great-grandchildren will be over."

"Then you have been in Wu County all the time?"

Zhu Pei shook his head, his eyes were a little sad, "I will only stay in Wu County for two or three days, and then I will send my brother to Beijing. I may spend more time in the capital in the future,"

Fan Ning took a drink from his glass and said with a smile, "I'm so happy to see my old friend today!"

After finishing speaking, he wanted to pour himself another glass of wine, but Jupe covered his glass with his hand.

"Fan Ning, now is not the time to drink. Let me tell you, your opponent is very strong in this test. The three guys from Changzhou County are among the top three in the Taixue Entrance Examination.
There is also Liu Ran, a magistrate from Wujiang County, even my second grandfather praised him as the most powerful child prodigy in Wujiang County in the past 20 years, and Yan Qing from Kunshan County. ． ． ． ． ． "

"I probably know a little too!"

Fan Ning said indifferently: "This Liu Ran is ranked seventh in the Zhao Xuezheng Examination Situation Map, and the three county magistrates from Changzhou County took the top three in the Taixue Entrance Examination, but I can't imagine how good it is."

Zhu Pei looked into Fan Ning's eyes and said, "Last December, Liu Ran went to Xuanzhou to participate in a mock test. He ranked first in the boy list, and Xu Ji, who was fighting with you, was only ranked fourteenth. You can imagine This Liu Ran is amazing."

Fan Ning was secretly taken aback. Since he was so powerful, why did Zhao Xuezheng rank him behind him?

Fan Ning knew that Zhao Xuezheng was not a flamboyant person, so there must be some shortcomings in Liu Ran that made Zhao Xuezheng not optimistic about him.

He smiled and asked again: "This Liu Ran must be weak in some way!"

"He's a little bit weaker in countermeasures, but he's been picking up on that since this year.

Also, last month, Yang Xuezheng from Wujiang County took him and three other county officials to Changzhou County, and took an exam with ten county officials from Changzhou County. The result was that Zhu Ran ranked No. 6. This shows that The strength of Changzhou County. "

Fan Ning was silent for a moment. He raised his head and smiled at Zhu Pei: "Anyway, I still want to thank you for your timely reminder. I will not underestimate the enemy. Starting tomorrow, I will go all out to prepare for the imperial examination!"
