Great Song Super Scholar

Chapter 171 Who is the boss

After the carriage drove out of the street, it slowed down, and the anger in Jupe's heart calmed down a little.

"You have to tell me, why is someone spying on you?"

This question has been lingering in Zhu Pei's mind, thinking about it day and night, almost becoming sick, and finally seeing Fan Ning, she couldn't wait to ask Fan Ning.

Fan Ning didn't want to tell Zhu Pei the real situation, so as not to worry her too much, but after thinking about it, Fan Ning still felt that he should tell the truth.

"Someone is spying on me, not against me, but against my great-grandfather Fan Zhongyan. Now it is rumored that the emperor intends to call him back to the court, so the opponents in the court are trying their best to obstruct it. Maybe they suspect that I am the messenger of my great-grandfather. Spy on me and see who I'm in contact with?"

Only then did Zhu Pei understand what was going on, and she asked worriedly, "Will there be any danger?"

Fan Ning shook his head, "They shouldn't be that stupid. I'm a tribute from the Pingjiang Mansion. If something happens to me, it will be a big deal, and many people will be involved. Besides, I am not a threat to them. I guess it's just Surveillance, they won't do anything else."

"Don't be careless. The capital is not like Pingjiang Mansion. The water here is too deep, and various interests are involved. Every year, various things happen in the imperial examination. I think you'd better be careful."

Fan Ning nodded, at this moment, he thought of something, and smiled again: "Do you know about Tian Huangshi?"

"Of course I know!"

Zhu Pei pursed his lips and said with a smile: "Your second uncle has already written to me and told me that I am the second proprietor of the Kistler Pavilion!"

Three black lines appeared on Fan Ning's forehead. The second uncle never wrote to tell him about the operation of the Kistler Hall, but he would write to tell Zhu Pei?

"Now that you know, I won't say much, Mingren and Mingli have already set off for Fuzhou"

Before Fan Ning finished speaking, Zhu Pei said triumphantly: "It seems that your news is not as good as mine. Those two guys have already purchased more than 3000 pieces of Tianhuangshi, and they have bought [-] acres of land, and they are hiring people to build it." Houses, the first batch of Tian Huangshi they bought has already set off to transport to the north, and it is estimated that they have already arrived in Pingjiang Mansion."

Fan Ning was speechless, but who is the proprietor of the Kistler Hall?It's my own decision to buy Tian Huangshi, but everyone knows about it, but I don't know anything about it.

Seeing Fan Ning's expression of shock and anger, Zhu Pei couldn't help being amused, so he comforted him and said, "Don't blame Second Uncle Fan, doesn't he know your address?"

"Forget it, anyway, you have nothing to do, so I will leave this matter to you."

"What do you mean you leave it to me?"

Fan Ning's words made Zhu Pei very dissatisfied, "I have been in charge of Qishi Museum for the past two years, and Uncle Fan will write a letter every two months to report the business situation to me.

Also, I found the store in the Kistler Museum in Beijing. The store will be officially handed over to us after the Chinese New Year next year, and then Uncle Fan will come to take care of it in early February and prepare to open the store. Who do you think is doing these things? "

It was only then that Fan Ning knew that his second uncle was messing with him. He clearly told himself that it was a friend who was helping him find a store. It turned out that it was Zhu Pei who was looking for a store. It's much deeper than imagined.

In contrast, I, the big proprietor, was the hands-off shopkeeper, who didn't care about anything and didn't want to ask.

But then again, with the assistance of the Zhu family in the capital, it might be easier for his own 'Tianhuangshi Project' to open up the situation.

After figuring this out, Fan Ning's grievances were easily resolved. He asked with a smile, "Then how much do you know about Tian Huangshi?"

"I still want to ask you? What does Tian Huangshi look like, and you bet heavily on them?" Zhu Pei asked curiously.

Fan Ning smiled and said: "Two days ago, Su Liang bought several Tianhuang stones at Daxiangguo Temple. I took one and planned to give it to you today. When I met your mother just now, I gave it to your brother Zhu Zhe , thank him for my statue."

At this time, Jupe's carriage had arrived at the entrance of the alley where Fan Ning lived and stopped slowly.

"Ah Ning, I'm going to class this afternoon. I don't have time. I'll take you to the store in two days. You should concentrate on your studies these days and stop running around."

Fanning smiled and agreed, he jumped out of the carriage, waved to Jupe, and the carriage started to run westward, and soon drove away.

In the carriage, Jianmeizi who had been silent all this time suddenly asked, "Ape, why don't you ask him about Miss Ouyang?"

"Sister Jian, there are some things that I can't ask. I know it well. If he wants to tell me, he will naturally say it. If he doesn't want to say it, it doesn't make sense for me to ask."

Jian Meizi snorted coldly, "Eating from the bowl and looking at the pot, there is nothing good for a man. If he dares to betray you, I will kill him with a sword."

Zhu Pei blushed with embarrassment, and shook Jian Meizi's arm, "Sister Jian, where are you going, he and I are just... just opening a store together and doing business, there is no other relationship."

Jian Meizi gave her a blank look.

The news of Zhu Pei's private departure in a carriage was told to her mother Wang Shi by the housekeeper in time, and Wang Shi was furious immediately, and she said with a livid face: "When that damn girl comes back, bring her to see me immediately!"

Mrs. Wang circled back and forth in the inner hall with her hands behind her back. The eldest son's stupidity had exhausted her, and now her daughter didn't let her worry. How long will her children be torturing her?
She also complained a little bit about Zhu Pei's grandfather, who had been obedient to her since she was a child and spoiled her. How can a little lady dress up as a man and a woman all day long and go to school to study?Grandfather actually agreed to such absurd thing.

At this time, a maid came to report that the little lady had returned and was in the big yamen.

Mrs. Wang was a little relieved. Fortunately, Fan Ning was probably more sensible and didn't take Zhu Pei around.

In fact, Wang has a good impression of Fan Ning, she just doesn't want the two of them hanging around all day, which will cause some gossip, which will be detrimental to her daughter's reputation.

Wang calmed down her emotions. She decided to discuss the matter with her husband before talking to her daughter.

In Zhu Zhe's room in the back house, the chubby Zhu Zhe was curiously playing with the Tian Huangshi sent by the maid. The maid didn't tell him what this thing could do. He still thought it was an egg and beat it on the table.

'boom!boom!boom! '

Zhu Zhe beat the yellow egg so hard that the table was almost broken.

"Big dumb! What are you doing?"

Zhu Pei walked in quickly, held his hand, pointed to the sawdust on the table and said, "You broke the table!"

Zhu Zhe was holding the stone egg in a daze, what on earth is this?
"Show me first?"

Zhu Pei stretched out his little hand in front of him, Zhu Zhe glanced at his sister blankly, and put the stone egg in her hand.

Zhu Pei took a closer look at the Tianhuang stone, and was immediately attracted. She couldn't help but exclaimed: "There is such a fine and delicate stone. No wonder that guy is determined to make it bigger. He really has eyesight."

Seeing her brother tilting his head and staring at the stone curiously, Zhu Pei pointed to the small stone statue next to him, picked up his carving knife and made gestures on the stone twice, then said with a smile: "Doll carving, you know? "

Zhu Zhe's eyes lit up slowly, and he finally understood what his sister meant.

He took the stone and began to look at the Tianhuang stone with the eyes of a master sculptor.

In fact, Zhu Zhe used Shoushan stone to carve stone statues. Tianhuangshi itself is a branch of Shoushan stone, but this piece of Tianhuang stone resembles a goose egg so much that he misunderstood it for a while.

At this time, Zhu Pei suddenly thought of a painting, and immediately ran back to her yard, found the map of traveling in mountains and rivers, and ran back again. She put the map of traveling in mountains and rivers in front of her brother, pointed to Tian Huangshi, and pointed to the painting.

"Carve the picture on the stone egg!"

Zhu Zhe listened to his sister very much. He put down the stone and began to ponder over the painting carefully. Zhu Pei did not disturb him and left quietly. She knew that it would take at least one day for him to ponder a painting, just like an old monk sitting Sure enough, apart from eating and sleeping, his whole energy was devoted to the painting.

Zhu Xiaoyun returned home at dusk. He served as a judge in the court of justice. The court of justice was mainly responsible for judging the civil servants at the middle and lower levels. Examinations, annotations and assignments.

And Zhu Xiaoyun was in charge of the review, and took the last hurdle of the official examination and dispatch. Although his official rank was not high, he was only the sixth rank, but he had great power in his hands, and many high-ranking officials wanted to curry favor with him.

Zhu Xiaoyun is the second son of Zhu Yuanfu, he is very handsome, with fair skin, and Zhu Pei looks a bit like his father.

Zhu Xiaoyun went back to his room, took off his coat, and smiled at his wife: "Recently, the dispatch institute has approved more than 100 people, and I have to review each dispatch. I am really tired. Fortunately, I finally finished the approval today, and I can have a good rest in the next two days." one time."

Wang hesitated and said: "Since the officials are not too busy, there is something I want to discuss with the officials."
