Before dawn the next day, Fan Zhongyan's passenger boat stopped at the dock of the small village, and his mother Zhang Sanniang changed Fan Ning into a new dress that she wore for the New Year, and gave her instructions.

Fan Tiezhou has been silent.

Although he is reluctant in his heart, his son is already eight years old, and he can go to the capital with the third grandfather of this hall to open his eyes, of course, he is willing to do it, and this kind of opportunity is not something that ordinary people can meet.

Fan Ning bowed to his parents and got on the boat, Fan Zhongyan came out and said with a smile: "Don't worry! In a month and a half at most, I will send Ning'er back safely. ”

"Then please leave it to the third uncle!"

Fan Zhongyan nodded, he waved his hand to the boatman, and the passenger ship started, swaying towards the morning mist.

Zhang Sanniang watched her son's figure disappear into the milky morning mist, and her eyes slowly turned red.

Fan Tiezhou said in a low voice: "We can't tell anyone about this matter, it's not good for Ning'er, if anyone asks, just say that Ning'er went to a relative's house." ”

Zhang Sanniang nodded, "Then don't you say it to your father?" ”

Fan Tiezhou showed a wry smile on his face, if his father heard the news, he would definitely be furious, so it was better not to say it.

Thinking of his father's contempt for him, he couldn't help but sigh lowly, "Ning'er, you must fight for your father!" ”

．．．．．．．．

Passenger boats slowly sail through the crystal clear creek.

Fanning sat by the window of the boat, carrying a small cloth bag with two changes of clothes and two hundred dollars, which was also his only luggage.

Fanning loved the feeling of taking a boat in the early morning, and this quiet time made him feel as if he had returned to his previous life, and the bits and pieces of his previous life came to his mind like flowing water.

He was an orphan in his previous life, and in the orphanage he was known for his excellent memory, and at the age of eight he was selected to enter a special school, where a group of children with the same excellent memory as him swam in the ocean of knowledge.

For ten years, he didn't know how many things he had memorized, but an accident happened during the experiment a month ago.......

Fanning remembered the experiment a month ago to implant a neuronal nanomemory chip in his brain, which, if successful, would usher in a new era of knowledge stored in his brain.

As a result, he became a pioneer and a martyr at the same time.

Fan Ning touched the back of his head with palpitations, and couldn't help laughing again, this is Fan's stupid head, how could that chip still exist?

Fan Zhongyan sat opposite him, and he couldn't help but read yesterday's song "Fixing the Storm" again, this poem is really well written! When I returned to Dengzhou, I framed it and hung it in the study, reminding myself to face life with an open-minded mind.

This is really a magical child, Fan Zhongyan was full of emotion in his heart, he almost missed this rare prodigy yesterday.

At this time, the tea boy Xiaofu brought in a pot of hot tea, Fan Zhongyan poured a cup of hot tea, and pushed the teacup in front of Fan Ning with a smile, pulling Fan Ning back from the memories of his previous life.

"Thank you, Third Grandfather!"

Fanning pretended to be well-behaved, picked up the teacup and took a sip, 'Ah! Suddenly he jumped up, and a stream of hot water was in his mouth, and he couldn't spit it out, nor did he swallow, which made him very embarrassed.

It was easy to swallow the tea, but I felt that my tongue was burned.

He turned his head and glared at the tea boy Xiaofu fiercely, it must be this stinky boy who deliberately made himself ugly.

Xiaofu covered his mouth and snickered, made a grimace at him and slipped out.

Fan Zhongyan couldn't help but laugh when he saw Fan Ning drinking tea in embarrassment.

"You have to take your time when you drink tea, pay attention to tasting and swallowing slowly, you were in too much of a hurry just now!"

"I drink it at home with a big scoop." Fanning muttered.

"You're not drinking tea, you're drinking cow!"

Fan Zhongyan smiled, picked up the tea bowl and blew it carefully, carefully sucked the tea, and then asked, "Have you ever thought about why the third grandfather took you to Beijing?" ”

Fan Ning smiled mischievously, "Maybe the third grandfather feels bored on the road, bring me and I can listen to the story of Marshal Tianpeng again." ”

Fan Zhongyan blinked and asked with a smile: "Then do you want to pay for listening to the story?" ”

Fanning's face flushed, it turned out that his grandfather hadn't forgotten that stubble!

He thought about it, and then smiled slyly: "Under normal circumstances, I always want to collect money, but I'm worried that if I only charge a penny, the third grandfather won't be able to take it." ”

Fan Zhongyan pointed at him and scolded with a smile: "You stinky boy, you are actually a little money fan? I didn't see it before! ”

Realizing that this cousin was not an old-fashioned person, Fanning's little fox tail gradually appeared, and he no longer pretended to be well-behaved, but simply returned to his true colors.

Fan Ning lay on the board of the boat with his hands on his pillow, looked at the white clouds outside the window and said leisurely: "Have you heard a word from the third grandfather?" Money is not everything, but no money is everything. ”

"Where did you hear that?"

"In a miscellaneous book, I forgot the title."

Fan Zhongyan groaned and said: "It's not a bad thing to like money, I was young and poor, and I couldn't even afford porridge, at that time, I was like you, I hoped that I could have a lot of money when I grew up, and then I experienced more things, and I gradually understood a truth." ”

"Is it a gentleman who loves money and takes it in a proper way?" Fanning asked with a grin.

Fan Zhongyan was choked, and only after a while did he point at him and smile: "You little slippery head, it's just a roundworm in my stomach, I regret taking you out now, you hurry up and get me off the boat!" ”

Fan Ning pretended to be frightened and hugged the table legs, "Third Grandfather, I'll tell you a story, it's free, and you don't want a penny, isn't it okay?" ”

Fan Zhongyan was amused by Fan Ning's naughty appearance, and couldn't help laughing, he suddenly found that he liked Fan Ning more now.

．．．．．．．．

The advantage of traveling by boat is that it is easy and comfortable, and there is no fatigue of cars and horses, but the disadvantage is also obvious, that is, it is slow, and it is already dark when it arrives in Cheung Chau County, and the passenger ship is moored at the shore overnight.

The lights in the cabin had been lit, and there were only three of them in their group, in addition to Fan Zhongyan and Fan Ning's ancestors, there was also the tea boy Xiaofu.

Xiaofu is the same age as Fan Ning, an orphan, has been following Fan Zhongyan for two years, and has the same grandchildren as Fan Zhongyan.

In the cabin, Fan Ning and Xiaofu sat under the lamp copywriting, but Fan Zhongyan sat on the side and watched the two of them write.

It's a shame to say that Fanning's handwriting is indeed terrible, like a deformed chicken claw, while Xiaofu's regular script is a hundred times more neat and beautiful than him.

However, it was precisely because Fan Ning's handwriting was so bad that Fan Zhongyan decided to take him to the capital.

He knew that with Fan Ning's handwriting, he would not be able to get into the Yanying Academy no matter what, so he wanted to use this time to give him good guidance on writing.

Of course, he can also write a letter to Master Liu, but in that case, there will definitely be another excellent child who will be squeezed out, which is unfair and does not conform to his principles of Fan Zhongyan's work.

Fan Zhongyan sat on the side and watched Fan Ning write, and saw that his writing was like a leg swinging, trembling, and writing horizontally like a person training muscles, with uneven surfaces that were unbearable.

Fan Zhongyan finally couldn't help but bend his knuckles and knocked on Fan Ning's head, "I really don't understand you, since you can write such excellent words, why do you write so badly?" ”

In fact, Fan Ning was also very annoyed, this was not his word at all, but Fan's stupid word, a bad word was like a dog skin plaster that could not be torn off, stubbornly passed on to himself.

"I practice! Can't I practice hard? Fanning poked the paper with a fierce stroke.

Fan Zhongyan saw that he was a little annoyed and angry, and couldn't help but laugh dumbly, and no longer affected Fan Ning's practice of calligraphy, so he sat aside and read a book.

At this time, Xiaofu next to him grinned, "Actually, I have a quick way." ”

"What a way, say it quickly!"

"If I say it, you will help me make tea for half a month."

"Burn your head!"

Fan Ning reversed the pen and struck him heavily on the head, "I want to coax Fan Ye and me to do things for you, you are still a little tender!" ”

"I really didn't lie to you!"

Xiaofu whispered to Fan Ning: "This kind of rice paper is several layers glued together, which can be torn thinner and thinner, you tear it into translucent, cover it on the calligraphy and write it, so that you can practice calligraphy quickly." ”

Fanning's eyes lit up, this was a good way, he didn't expect it.

He immediately grabbed Xiaofu's shoulders and said with a smile: "The tea I burned is even unpleasant to the countrymen, I'm afraid the third grandfather won't like it, those who can work harder, or you work harder, in order to express your gratitude, I will invite you to eat sugar after arriving in the capital." ”

Hearing that Xiaofu was about to salivate when he ate sugar, he hurriedly said: "You are not allowed to cheat, we will pull the hook." ”

Fanning looked at him with disgust, "How old are you, and you still have to pull the hook!" ”

"What if you don't keep your word?"

Fan Ning patted his chest, "Master Fan, I have said it, it is difficult to chase the horse, will I still lie to you, this little brat." ”

"That's it! All right! ”

Fan Zhongyan watched the two of them talking, he was in a really happy mood, and he couldn't help but laugh: "You little kid is not much older, write quickly, don't make any more trouble." ”

The two lowered their heads to write again, and at this time, Xiaofu's face was swollen and red, and he gritted his teeth and whispered: "You are the little brat!" ”

Fanning shook his head, "It's really boring to sit and write with a naïve little guy like you!" ”

"I'll test you!"

Fan Zhongyan looked interesting, so he simply put down the book and asked with a smile: "Let me ask Xiaofu first, why do you say I want to park the boat here?" ”

Xiaofu scratched his head and didn't guess it for a long time.

"What about you?" Fan Zhongyan smiled again and looked at Fan Ning.

Fan Ning pouted at Xiao Fu disdainfully, "Hanshan Temple outside Gusu City, the bell rings in the middle of the night to the passenger ship, can't even think of this?" The books read are fed to the dogs! ”

"All I can think of is forgetting about it." Xiaofu retorted annoyedly.

Fan Zhongyan nodded approvingly, "Ning'er must have seen the Tiger Hill Tower outside?" ”

"I've seen it a long time ago, but I know it's not the real reason why the third grandfather stopped the boat here!"

"Oh? So what is the real reason? ”

Fan Ning smiled slyly, "For the same reason as in Jiangwan Village, the third grandfather is afraid of being harassed. ”

Fan Zhongyan laughed and gave a thumbs up, "What a smart child!" ”

Fanning smiled and spread out his hands, "If you guess correctly, there should be a prize!" I don't want more, the third grandfather rewards me with the usual money. ”

Fan Zhongyan took out a penny and threw it to him, and said angrily: "This is your prize, what kind of money, why don't you want a hundred taels of silver!" ”

Xiaofu smiled gloatingly: "It's deflated!" Who made you so greedy to ask for consistent money, if it were me, I would only need ten cents. ”

Fan Ning casually threw a penny to him, "I want money to repay your favor, since you are not too little, then go to the capital to buy candy to eat!" ”
