Great Song Super Scholar

Chapter 251
At this moment, Zhu Pei and Jian Meizi walked into the room. Zhu Pei's face was bright, and she could see that she was quite satisfied with the house. She gave Fan Ning a wink, indicating that she could buy it.

Fan Ning hesitated, but couldn't help but said: "This price is indeed cheaper than the houses outside. If General Yang needs money urgently, I can add another two thousand guan."

Yang Wenguang shook his head, "Of course I know that if the asking price is [-] guan, it can be sold, but every family has a hard-to-read scripture. This price is the result of negotiation and compromise within the family. It is related to the family's face, so I won't say more , that’s [-] guan.”

Fan Ning said again: "Then add another [-] guan for the furniture. I also hope to buy this house at a fair price. General Yang please understand."

Fan Ning didn't want to take advantage of the Yang family, and he didn't want to take advantage of this house. He paid an extra [-] guan to prevent the Yang family from causing discord and wrangling in the future.

In many cases, taking advantage of it will cause more trouble.

Yang Wenguang thought for a while, then nodded and agreed, "Okay! Then [-] guan, except for Yingbi, everything else belongs to Fan Shaolang."

Fan Ning took out a deposit slip from Zhu's Money Shop and half a jade pendant, put it on the table and said, "This is a deposit of [-] guan. clear."

Yang Wenguang shook his head, "There is no need for the deposit, after the transaction is completed, let's pay together at the end!"

Immediately, Yang Wenguang signed Pan Sanlang's sales contract and left. He ordered the housekeeper to find someone to transport the screen wall back to Tianbo Mansion, and then closed the door and closed the house for handover.

The rest of the work is done by the dentist, and neither party needs to worry about it. It is just that the money for buying and selling the house will be handed over at the end, and the transaction will be completed.

"Jupei, Fangzhai is quite satisfactory!" Fan Ning asked with a smile as he sent Zhu Pei to the carriage.

"You brat picked up a big bargain!"

Zhu Pei sighed and said: "I didn't expect that there is running water in the mansion. This kind of house is hard to come by in the capital. My father wanted to buy a house with running water back then, but he couldn't find it after searching for a year. I didn't expect it to be sold. You hit it."

Fan Ning was also very excited, "Looks like I was really lucky. I didn't know that it was hard to find a house with running water. I thought that there would be running water near the river."

"That's not true! The government strictly prohibits the introduction of running water into the house when building a private house. The running water in this other house should be formed naturally, so it has not been banned by the government. This is the most rare thing."

Zhu Pei got into the carriage and said: "Tomorrow I will accompany my elder brother to the palace, and I will give statues to the emperor and Concubine Zhang. There is a secret fight in the palace, hey! It's hard to say, I'll go first. By the way, my elder brother likes you very much. His Tian Huangshi, after he finishes carving, I will give them to you."

"Tell him, next time I'll get him a big Tianhuangshi, the size of a water tank."

"Stop exploiting my brother in different ways all day long."

Zhu Pei hit the nail on the head, but Fan Ning scratched his head in embarrassment, as if he had exploited Zhu Zhe too much, and only let him work without paying him.

Zhu Pei gave him a dissatisfied look, and ordered: "Let's go!"

The carriage started and drove towards the east quickly, before disappearing into the crowd.

Then Fan Ning walked quickly to the west gate of Taixue. ． ． ． ． ．

At noon, Fan Ning came to the dining hall of Taixue. He didn’t go out to eat today. One was that he was not happy to go too far. There is no need for Ning to act alone.

Of course, he also wanted to find Su Liang.

There are four dining halls in Taixue, three big ones and one small one. The three big dining halls mainly serve Taixue students and auditors. There are about 500 students in Taixue, but there are nearly 2000 auditors. They are almost all at noon. Tai Xue used lunch, and there were a large number of people.

The small dining hall mainly serves Taixue professors and Guozijian officials. In addition, the Jinshi of Tongzi who are studying at Taixue can also eat in the small dining hall. Of course, the food in the small dining hall is better in color and taste.

But generally speaking, the food at Taixue is still very good. In history, Song Shenzong once inspected Taixue, had lunch at Taixue, and praised Taixue’s steamed stuffed buns for being extremely delicious. A famous snack in the capital.

Fan Ning came to the small dining hall, which was relatively close to the library. When he walked into the small dining hall, Fan Ning saw Su Liang at a glance. He was sitting at the dining table talking and laughing with several classmates.

Fanning took a bowl of soup, a

Grilled lamb chops, a piece of fish, a portion of stewed seasonal vegetables and two steamed buns came to Su Liang and sat down. The other three students of Boys' Science were stunned for a moment and looked at Fan Ning nervously.

"It seems that my image is not very good!"

Fan Ning said with a smile: "Everyone looks nervous when they see me, what's the reason for that?"

Su Liang curled his lips and said, "Because you are the inspector, we are the students, you are the official, we are the people, and the people are afraid of the officials, don't you understand this truth?"

"It's meaningless for me to be an official. It's just a name. I have nothing to do. In fact, I am studying in Taixue just like you, but the monthly subsidy is a little more than yours."

When it comes to subsidies, everyone is interested. A scholar asked, "How much salary subsidy does Brother Fan have a month?"

Fan Ning recognized that the person who was asking the question was Cao Shi, so he smiled and said, "I am an official of the eighth rank, how many will there be in Cao Yamen?"

Cao Shi thought for a while and said: "I have a cousin who is currently a county magistrate from the eighth rank. A little higher, but there is no magistrate subsidy, plus the Guozijian subsidy, I estimate it is between [-] and [-] guan.”

"Almost! But I'm renting a house by myself, and I have to pay for my meals in the morning and evening. The expenses are relatively high, and it's far less comfortable than you guys."

"Brother Fan is a Beijing official!"

Another scholar sighed: "We are lucky to be appointed as alternate officials after three years. The gap is too great."

"It depends on how you understand this issue. It's like the difference between ten and 20 years old, but for the same two people, when they are 70 and 80 years old, the gap is almost gone, so today I seem to be leaving earlier than you One step, but it is hard to say who is inferior and who is superior in more than ten years, and it is very likely that I will be your subordinate in the future."

What Fan Ning said is the truth. It is hard to say what is going on in the officialdom. Everyone has different backstage backgrounds, or different opportunities and abilities.

For example, Cao Shi in front of me is the grandson of the Cao family. The Cao family has placed great hopes in him, and he has an aunt who is the queen. It is difficult for him not to be promoted.

Everyone knew that what Fan Ning said was reasonable, so they bowed their heads to eat and said no more.

Fan Ning ate a few mouthfuls of steamed buns, drank a sip of soup, and asked Su Liang, "How much did you pass the last Tongzi Division Jinshi?"

Children's department is also tested every three years. In the last session, 1 children's department Jinshi were admitted, but the No.8 of the previous session was only No. [-] in the second class, so they did not directly obtain official positions, and it was the same as other children's department Jinshi. , entered Taixue to study for three years.

What Fan Ning asked was how many people in the last batch of Jinshi in Tongzike passed the three-year study assessment?

Su Liang thought for a while and said, "Thirty or so have passed, and there are still a dozen who will stay and continue their studies for another two years."

Next to him, Cao Shi added with a smile: "Not only were there those left from the last term, but there were also eight people who failed the examination by the Ministry of Officials in the last term, and were disqualified from the same background as Jinshi."

"What about the distribution of those who have passed the exam?"

Cao Shi sighed, "Basically, they go to various states to study as ninth-rank teaching assistants. Each of them is only seventeen or eighteen years old. What kind of official can they be?"

This topic is a bit heavy. Thinking of their future fate, they all looked sad, but Cao Shi looked calm. He has the support of his family and is not worried about his future.

After lunch, Fan Ning invited everyone to sit in his official room, and everyone went there with pleasure. Everyone wanted to see how Fan Ning was treated, and everyone was full of curiosity.

Su Liang and the three new friends all live in the same courtyard, but everyone has their own independent room. Except for Cao Shi, the other two are Zheng Li, who is from Chengdu, and Wenxiu, who is from Fenzhou. These two are said to be the children of officials, but they are relatively low-key, and their specific family backgrounds are unknown.

Everyone walked up to the third floor of the library, Fan Ning pushed open the door of his room, and smiled at everyone: "It's still relatively simple, everyone come in and sit down!"

When everyone walked into the room, they couldn't help but exclaimed. The room was more than thirty square meters, brightly lit, and outside the window was a lush green forest, which was pleasing to the eye.

Su Liang snorted angrily: "This is still so crude! I'm going to die of envy."

Cao Shi asked calmly, "Brother Fan, does he have his own official house in the Imperial Academy?"

This is the person who sees things thoroughly. Many of their professors have their own spacious and bright rooms in Taixue, but at the same time they also have their own seats in the Imperial College compound. The real status is reflected in the Imperial College compound. No matter how spacious the Taixue room is It doesn't make sense either.

Fanning shook his head, "I don't have a seat over there."

Cao Shi laughed, "I believe it now, Brother Fan really came to Taixue to study."

At this time, the tea boy appeared at the door, and seeing that Fan Ning had guests, he quickly found two teacups to serve tea for everyone, and dragged a chair, and everyone sat down, Fan Ning simply sat on his desk, He took a sip of tea and asked with a smile, "Do you usually deal with Tai students?"

"I don't usually deal with each other very much. Sometimes we meet in class, and we don't offend each other. Those students are too arrogant and look down on us, so we don't bother to pay attention to them."

"You look down on them too!"

Fan Ning jokingly said, "Maybe a few college students are drinking tea and chatting now, saying that those boy students are too arrogant and look down on them. What do you want to do with them?"

It was right for a few people to think about it, and they laughed together.

At this time, the bell rang to prepare for class in the afternoon, and the four got up to say goodbye to Fan Ning. They still had classes in the afternoon and had to go back to the dormitory to get books.

Fan Ning sent them to the stairs and said with a smile: "Why don't we get together tonight and have a few drinks, I'll treat you!"

Since Fan Ning deliberately made friends, everyone was no longer polite, and readily agreed.
