Great Song Super Scholar

Chapter 355

Early the next morning, Fan Ning and Zhu Pei went to the pier to send their parents and relatives back to Pingjiang Mansion. Zhu Xiaoyun was going to the morning court and could not come to see off his in-laws. Zhu Yuanfu felt a little unwell, so he asked his brother Zhu Yuanfeng to see him off on his behalf.

Fan Zhongyan also wanted to go back to his hometown to visit his mother's grave, and recuperate for a few months, so he happened to take this big boat to go back together, accompanied by his youngest son, Fan Chunchun.

There were a lot of people going back this time, Fan Ning's parents and sister, the family of the third uncle, the family of the fourth uncle, Head Liu, uncle Zhang Ping, patriarch Fan Dazhi, Fan Zhongyan and his son, they were not lonely along the way.

The presents also piled up when they went back this time. The Zhu family sent dozens of boxes of all kinds of good things in the capital, and each family gave a hundred pieces of good lake silk.

Fan Ning also sent more than a dozen boxes of daily necessities to her parents and grandmother. In addition, Zhu Pei also gave her mother-in-law and sister-in-law a set of fine gold jewelry, which was also a bit of her kindness.

Fan Ning looked at it for nothing, called his mother Zhang Sanniang aside, and gave her half of the jade pendant.

"Mother, here is [-] guan coins, you can pick them up at the Zhu's money shop in Pingjiang Mansion, you keep it yourself, you can use it however you want."

Zhang Sanniang was startled, "What are you doing with so much money for me? I don't need it, you keep it for yourself and buy a big house later."

"Mom, I have enough money!"

Fan Ning whispered a few words in his mother's ear, and Zhang Sanniang's eyes widened, "How do you have so much money? You didn't do anything illegal!"

"Where did you go? This is Mingren and Mingli's gold mining money. It's not illegal to have my share."

"Then I can rest assured!"

Fan Ning laughed again and said, "The family is different now. Mother has a sum of money in her hand, isn't she more secure in her heart?"

"You're right, with a sum of money in my hand, I don't need to look at your father's face to live. I don't ask him to support the family. I ask the money shop to release the money. The profit alone is enough for me and your sister to live."

"Mother, the matter is not that serious." Fan Ning couldn't help but smiled wryly. His mother thought the problem was too extreme, and he gave her money just in case.

"There are also these land deeds and house deeds. You also hold them. The rent of the shop belongs to you."

Fan Ning handed another big paper bag to his mother, which was Zhu Pei’s dowry. It consisted of a mansion in Mudu Town and three shops, the largest of which was Sanqing Restaurant, the largest restaurant in Mudu Town. With [-] acres of farmland, Zhu Yuanfu was going back to Wujiang, so he gave all the assets of Mudu Town to his granddaughter.

Zhu Pei wanted to go to Kunzhou with Fan Ning, and she couldn't take care of these assets, so she handed them over to Fan Ning.

Yesterday Zhu Pei explained this matter clearly to her mother-in-law Zhang Sanniang, and Zhang Sanniang didn't refuse, so she took the paper bag over. Anyway, she has nothing to do, and it doesn't matter to help her son and daughter-in-law take care of these assets.

As for letting their family move into the big mansion, she did not refuse, so she just took it as showing the house to her son.

Taking advantage of the time before boarding the boat, Zhang Sanniang pulled his daughter-in-law Zhu Pei aside to say a few words.

Fan Ning walked forward with a bamboo box, and handed the box to Fan Zhongyan with a smile, "At first, my grandson wanted to visit my grandfather in a few days, but I didn't expect my grandfather to return home. This is a little gift from my grandson to my grandfather." .”

Fan Zhongyan smiled and said: "Could it be that you want to give me the Traveling Stone in the Mountains and Streams?"

Fan Ning smiled wryly, "I'm afraid even if I want to give it away, Second Uncle won't do it. The stone was taken by him under the pretext of being the treasure of the town store, and I can't get it back."

"Without the Mountain and Stream Traveling Stone, I don't want anything else."

"This is a good thing. The emperor gave it to me. Grandfather really doesn't want it?"

Fan Zhongyan's heart moved, "Could it be dragon tea?"

Fan Ning nodded with a smile, "Ten catties of dragon tea, if grandpa doesn't want it, forget it."

Fan Zhongyan became anxious all of a sudden, and snatched the bamboo box over, "Who said I don't want it? If you dare to take it back, watch how I beat you!"

Fan Zhongyan smiled happily, this is the best tea in Song Dynasty, how could he not want it?
"For the sake of your filial piety, I will give you some calligraphy and paintings later. I wrote them a few years ago, so I will leave them to you!"

Fan Zhongyan was in poor health and had already closed his pen. Now his calligraphy is hard to find, let alone paintings. Fan Ning was overjoyed and bowed to the ground, "Thank you, grandfather, for your love!"

． ． ． ． ． ． ． ．
Fan Ning's father, Fan Tiezhou, didn't drink much tea, so Fan Ning didn't give it to him. He gave it to others, and he didn't understand the value of dragon tea.

As for the others, Fan Ning was not willing to give. As for his eccentric grandfather, the Zhu family gave him five catties of phoenix tea and dozens of bottles of good wine, which Fan Ning felt was enough.

On the contrary, Dean Liu, Fan Ning gave him the Jun kiln sapphire tea set that Pang Ji gave him. The set, and it is a limited edition, is no longer available for purchase.

Master Liu liked it very much. When he boarded the boat, he held the box in his arms, fearing that the boatman would be careless about handling the luggage and accidentally break this precious tea set.

After bidding farewell to everyone, the big ship finally started. Fan Ning waved goodbye to his family on the pier. Fan Ning couldn't help but feel a little sad. This time he will set off directly from Yangzhou and will not return to his hometown. This farewell will last for another two years.

. . . . . . . . .

Returning to the door is also an important part of marriage, and it is also the last link. China has always paid attention to circles. Indicates the end of the wedding.

The custom of returning to the door is different in different places. Some return after seven days, some return after three days, and some return the day after marriage.

The custom in Pingjiang Mansion is to return home after three days. Since the two families are from the same hometown, they both adopt the custom of their hometown and return home after three days.

For the Zhu family, today is also an important day, the daughter and son-in-law return home, so the Zhu family also put up lanterns and festoons early in the morning, tidying up and cleaning the house.

Not long after breakfast, Zhu Pei returned to her mother's house in a carriage, and Fan Ning naturally rode a horse. Zhu Pei's elder brother Zhu Zhe also returned together.

Zhu Pei originally sent him back ten days later, but when Zhu Zhe heard that he was going home, he wanted to follow him desperately, so Zhu Pei had no choice but to bring him back.

Perhaps Zhu Zhe felt that his sister hadn't changed much. He let go of his heart and wanted to go back to his home. After all, a child like him cannot leave his familiar environment.

Zhu Xiaoyun and his wife were already waiting at the door. When they heard that their daughter and son-in-law were coming, they rushed out to welcome them.

"mother!"

Zhu Pei flung herself into her mother's arms coquettishly, and the mother and daughter came to Beijing for a hug. Mrs. Wang stroked her hair and said with a smile, "I've already left the cabinet, why are you still acting like a child?"

"In front of mother, of course he is a child!" Zhu Pei stuck out his tongue and smiled mischievously.

"You child, I really can't do anything about you!"

The two mothers were talking over there, and Fan Ning stepped forward to salute his father-in-law and handed him a bamboo box, "This is a little love from my son-in-law to my father-in-law."

Although Zhu Xiaoyun used to like Liu Ran a little, but Fan Ning really became his son-in-law, and Liu Ran was immediately forgotten by Zhu Xiaoyun.

He took it with a smile and asked, "What is this?"

"It's five catties of dragon tea, I hope my father-in-law will like it!"

Zhu Xiaoyun chuckled, "It's really a good thing! Thank you, my son-in-law, for your kindness, I like it very much!"

Although Fan Ning loves his own dragon tea, there are some things that he can't get around. Apart from dragon tea, he really can't get anything else as a gift for his father-in-law.

As for the four sets of official kiln tea sets, they are his treasures, and no one is willing to give them away. He wants to leave them to his sons and pass them down from generation to generation.

Now he regrets giving the master Liu the set of fine Ru porcelain from the folk kiln. He should keep it for himself. The four sets of famous porcelain from the official kiln can only be admired, not really used for drinking tea. It's really irreparable.

But it has already been sent out, and he has no choice but to find a way to make another set of folk kiln porcelain for his own use, or buy a set of Jianzhou black porcelain by himself.

At this time, Mrs. Wang called them in, and asked several servants to send the son and the nurse to the back house.

Fan Ning and Zhu Pei entered the gate and walked towards the inner hall. Fan Ning found that Zhu Pei was a little depressed, so he asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

Zhu Pei curled his lips, and said listlessly: "A few days ago, I was still such a host, but today I have become a guest. The change is too great, and I can't accept it."

Fan Ning chuckled in her ear and said, "Don't you accept even bigger changes? It seems like you're willing to do so."

Zhu Pei blushed pretty, and punched him hard in the back.

This punch happened to be seen by Wang looking back, she smiled and said: "Pei'er, don't hit your husband like this in front of grandfather, he will be angry."

Zhu Pei pouted and said unhappily, "I'll just say it! I've been treated as an outsider in just a few days."

His mouth was not happy, but his hands were not idle, and he quietly touched Fan Ning's waist, and twisted it hard. ． ． ． ． ． ． ．

In the past two days, Zhu Yuanfu has been a little ill, that is, he has suffered from a bit of wind and cold. It's just that he is old, and he will be very careful about these minor ailments. He can only lie at home and recuperate. Today he is a little better.

Fan Ning and Zhu Pei walked into the yard, and saw the old man standing in front of the steps. He was dressed very casually today, a large Zen robe and a small hat, to receive the juniors!It doesn't have to be that formal.

Although Zhu Pei was angry with her grandfather on the surface, she was very happy to see him, and quickly pulled Fan Ning to kneel down to salute him.

"All right! All right! Get up!"

Seeing his granddaughter and grandson-in-law, Zhu Yuanfu was also elated, and quickly asked them to get up.

Zhu Pei returned to his previous mischievousness, took his grandfather's arm and asked coquettishly, "Did Grandpa miss Pei'er?"

"No! Are you mad at me?"

"Why is Grandpa so angry?"

"You gave San Grandpa ten catties of dragon tea, but I didn't get my share. Do you think I'm angry?"

Everyone couldn't help laughing. As the saying goes, "Old and young, old and young" means this. When people are old, they sometimes have the same heart as children.

Zhu Pei hurriedly shook his grandfather's arm, "How can we not give it to Grandpa! We want to give it to you the next day, isn't it three days before we can return to the door? Of course the dragon tea is brought, and you are still angry."

"Okay! Okay! Grandpa's old bones are almost broken by you. I was just joking. I won't be really angry."

Zhu Yuanfu regained his benevolent smile, and smiled at Fan Ning: "A-Ning, sit down, Pei'er, you sit down too, not on the right, but on the left!"

Zhu Pei had no choice but to get up, and sat down on the lower head of her husband muttering.

Zhu Yuanfu said to her solemnly: "Although this is a trivial matter, it is very important, especially in front of outsiders. You must respect your husband at all times, otherwise people will say that our Zhu family has no tutor."

"I know everything, and you still say it!"

Zhu Pei's little mouth almost turned up to the sky. Just now she purposely called her grandfather "you", but now her charming temper has changed, and she resumed her usual address, "you" became "you" '.

Zhu Yuanfu had nothing to do with her, so he waved his hand and said, "Talk to your mother, I'll chat with your husband."

Zhu Pei suddenly smiled again, "Thank you, Grandpa!"

She jumped up and ran a few steps, then suddenly thought of her husband again, and came back shyly: "Husband, you can talk to grandfather, I'm going to find my mother."

"Go!" Fanning smiled.

Only then did Zhu Pei happily run out.
