'Bang! A fine white porcelain tea bowl from the Dingyao kiln slammed into the wall, and shards were scattered everywhere.

Xu Ji's strength was as if he had been drained, he sat heavily on the chair, his eyes were red, his face was hideous, and a great shame shot into his chest like a sharp arrow, making him feel unbearable pain and suffocation.

The little guy who passed the news to him next to him really regretted it, he knew that the little official reacted so violently, and he really shouldn't have had much to do.

However, the news that Fanning won the first place in the county taxi selection competition has spread all over the city, and if he doesn't say it, the petty officials will soon know.

After a while, Xu Ji said in a hoarse voice: "Go and find Shopkeeper Li!" ”

"The villain is going!"

The little guy turned around and ran in a panic.

With no one in the room, Xu Ji felt like he had fallen into a dark abyss, and the news of Fanning's victory shattered the last bit of his self-esteem.

He didn't go to the individual exam this morning, there was no need for him, they were eliminated in the first round, and the basic score was only medium, and he could only bring shame on himself to take the exam.

Although the boys' test in Pingjiang Mansion has missed him, the news of Fanning's victory made him more painful and humiliated than the failure.

Xu Ji half-lay on the chair weakly, closed his eyes, and let the hatred of his heart grow rapidly.

Hatred is a terrible enemy, it can make people lose their minds, they lose their judgment, and they will take risks at all costs.

Especially for Xu Ji, who is only twelve years old, his mind is not yet mature, and it is easier for him to be controlled by hatred, making him forget all the consequences.

At this time, a middle-aged man wearing a black satin coat and a hat on his head hurriedly walked towards Xu Ji's study with the little maid's steps.

This middle-aged man is Li Quan, the shopkeeper of the Strange Stone Pavilion, the full name of the Strange Stone Pavilion is Xu Ji Strange Stone Pavilion, which is a shop opened by the Xu family in Mudu Town.

Because the Qishi Pavilion has a source of goods and high-end customers, it brings high profits of thousands of taels of silver to the Xu family every year.

Today, Li Quan came to Xu's house to report his debts, but he didn't know what the petty officials were looking for him.

The little guy knocked on the door, "Little official, Shopkeeper Li is here!" ”

In the middle of the night, Xu Ji's hoarse voice came from the room, "Please let him in!" ”

The little guy dodged and got out of the way, Li Quan pushed the door into the study, because of studying in Mudu Town, Xu Ji and Li Quan were very familiar, Xu Ji would often go to the Strange Stone Pavilion to ask for money to invite friends to dinner.

I saw Xu Jiduan sitting behind the table, but Li Quan was startled, he hadn't seen him for half a month, how could the petty official become haggard?

The radiant young man was gone, as if he had just recovered from a serious illness, his face was pale, his eyes were colorless, his cheekbones were protruding, and he felt that his face was a little deformed.

Although he was dressed very brightly, wearing a white satin tuanhua scholar's suit, wearing a high-grade satin scholar's scarf on his head, and a leather belt around his waist, the whole person's spirit was gone, and no matter how well he dressed, he was also a hanger.

"Is there something wrong with the petty official looking for me?" Li Quan asked in a low voice.

Xu Ji waved his hand and asked the little guy to retreat, he got up and closed the door, and only the two of them were left in the room.

"You've lived in Mudu Town for a long time, you should know Fanning!"

Li Quan nodded, "Although that stinky boy has been more famous recently, I have known him for a long time, and he ruined my business twice." ”

"You hate him?" Xu Ji glanced at him and asked.

Li Quan didn't understand what Xu Ji meant, but he vaguely felt that when Xu Ji said the name 'Fanning', he had a hatred that could not be concealed.

Keeping him vigilant, he thought for a moment and said, "It's not enough to hate him, I just think he's a nasty teenager, and every time I see him, I want to rush up and slap him twice." ”

"I'll give you one thing!"

Xu Ji commanded in a tone that could not be refused: "I don't care what means you use, I want you to clean up this person for me and leave him a lesson that will never be forgotten." ”

Li Quan was taken aback, is the petty official going to do something illegal by himself? This is not good, he stammered: "Little official, I.... I...."

He didn't know how to refuse, but Xu Ji stepped forward, staring at him with vicious eyes, and his face became hideous again.

"Do you still want to do it in the Xu family? There is no shortage of shopkeepers in the Strange Stone Pavilion. ”

Li Quan thought of the twenty yuan a month, and he finally gave in, "I only hope that after the incident, the petty officials can keep me safe." ”

Xu Ji was tall and thin, half a head taller than the short and fat Li Quan, and a smile appeared on his face and patted Li Quan's shoulder.

"With the power of my Xu family, what are you worried about, just throw off your hands and do it, and I will support you if something happens."

Li Quan nodded silently, he thought of a way to deal with Fan Ning, he had actually wanted to do it a long time ago.

．．．．．．．．．

Zhang Sanniang originally planned to go to the county seat to see her son, but canceled the plan due to physical discomfort.

In the past few days, she has dizziness and nausea, chest tightness and weak legs, and often retching, always upset, and inexplicably angry at her husband.

Zhang Sanniang is a person who has come over, and her first reaction is to suspect that she is happy.

But Fan Tiezhou, who became a doctor, was more rational, he thought that pregnancy was only a possibility, and it was more likely that he was sick.

In the morning, Zhang Sanniang came to Yishengtang to check the pulse, and the four doctors sitting in the hall had different opinions, two said that she was Ximai, and the other two thought that she was caused by excessive dampness in her body.

At this moment, there was a 'bang!' from outside. Bang! The sound of cannons is like someone's family marrying a bride.

The people in the pharmacy ran out to see the excitement, and Zhang Sanniang was about to go home, so she followed the crowd to the gate, only to see a large group of people walking towards this side, carrying a sign with a red cloth in the middle.

In front were dozens of gorgeously dressed elders, and the one in the front was wearing a dark purple robe, a black gauze hat, and a brocade belt around his waist, looking extraordinary.

"That's Zhu Daguan!"

"That's Ma Yuanwai, as well as Zhou Yuanwai, Wang Yuanwai and Fan Yuanwai are also here."

The group of people who walked to the front were all the leaders of Mudu Town, and it was rare to see them gathered together, it should be something happy today.

A group of people went straight to Yishengtang, and when the team walked to the front of the steps, someone suddenly pointed to Zhang Sanniang in the lively crowd and shouted: "This lady is Fanning's mother!" ”

Seeing the lively crowd get out of the way, revealing Zhang Sanniang in the middle, Zhang Sanniang was suddenly a little at a loss, and she didn't know what was going on.

At this time, Zhu Yuanfu stepped forward and smiled: "Congratulations to Aunt Fan, your son Fan Ning won the first place in the prodigy competition, and he is the first prodigy leader in our Mudu Town, giving us the mayor face." ”

The surrounding people were in an uproar and congratulated Zhang Sanniang.

Zhang Sanniang's face was swollen and red, although she was full of joy in her heart, but now she was more embarrassed, she had never experienced this kind of formation, so she didn't know what to say.

At this time, Fan Tiezhou was hugged out by several doctors, and everyone congratulated him.

When Zhang Sanniang saw her husband come out, she hurriedly hid behind him, and quickly looked at her clothes, fortunately, she specially changed into a cyan fine linen jacket today, her hair was neatly combed, and her best pearl silver hairpin was inserted, which made her breathe a sigh of relief.

She looked at her husband again, and he was also dressed well, with a dark satin coat and a long foot on his head, which looked a little bit out of the woods.

She was secretly glad that she had the foresight to let her husband dress up every day before going out.

Fan Tiezhou saw Zhu Yuanfu and the patriarch at a glance, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute, Zhu Yuanfu smiled and said, "Doctor Fan, your son is really not simple, he actually won the head of the prodigy." ”

Patriarch Fan Dazhi was also so excited that he patted him on the back, "Tie Zhou, Ning'er has won glory for our Fan family, and it is the pride of our Fan family!" ”

Fan Tiezhou is much more able to speak than his wife, he clasped his fists high and saluted, "Zhu Daguan, everyone, my son's achievements today are completely the result of everyone's usual love for him, this honor not only belongs to him, but also to you, of course, it also belongs to our Mudu Town." ”

Although it is a bit glossy, everyone loves to hear this kind of thing.

"Tiezhou, that's a good point!" The crowd praised it.

At this time, Zhu Yuanfu stuffed a big red envelope to Fan Tiezhou, "This is a little bit of our heart from more than a dozen members to help Fan Ning continue to study and improve, and achieve greater glory for our Mudu Town." ”

"And this plaque is also our encouragement to Fanning!"

He motioned for everyone to hold up the black lacquer plaque high, only to see that there were four big golden characters on it, 'Gifted Prodigy'.

There was a burst of cheers and applause.

The news of Fanning's victory as the county magistrate quickly spread throughout the town, and the entire town of Mudu was boiling.

．．．．．．．

At noon, Fan Tiezhou set up a banquet in Baiyun Restaurant and invited the staff to dinner.

Since becoming a doctor, Fan Tiezhou is no longer the Taihu Lake fisherman who can only fish and farm in the past.

He also knows how to make friends, expand his contacts, and gradually make his own reputation, people in ten miles and eight towns know that Doctor Fan in Mudu Town is a master of treating bruises, and treats people warmly, the fee is reasonable, and the lonely old man treats the sick and even does not take a penny, and his character is excellent.

This time, his son won the head of the county magistrate, which was a great opportunity for him to take over the upper echelons of the town, and made him take an important step towards the status of a squire.

After the banquet was dispersed, Fan Tiezhou returned home, and Zhang Sanniang saw that her husband was full of wine, so she hurriedly fetched water for him to wash his face.

"Lady, Ning'er will be back in the afternoon, let's celebrate and celebrate!"

Zhang Sanniang wrenched the handkerchief, handed it to him and said with a smile: "Today, my son has earned enough face for you!" ”

"yes!"

Fan Tiezhou said with emotion: "The outsiders toasted me one by one, the children had a chance, and the parents also followed." ”

After a pause, Fan Tiezhou smiled again: "Zhu Daguan has repeatedly asked me how Ning'er became a prodigy, and I really can't answer. ”

"What's wrong to answer, I remember when Ning'er was sick, you didn't use honeysuckle to boil soup for him to drink every day, and you used ginger water to bathe him at night, and then after Ning'er got better, he completely changed, did you forget?"

Fan Tiezhou scratched his head, "There is such a thing, but it is not the effect of honeysuckle soup and ginger water, I really dare not say!" ”

"Whatever! If anyone asks, let's say so. ”

Fan Tiezhou smiled bitterly, how can this kind of thing be drawn to conclusions?

At this time, he picked up the big red envelope on the table and asked with a smile, "What kind of gifts did they give?" ”

"If you don't say it, I almost forgot that it is the title deed, the title deed of fifty acres of upper land."

"Fifty acres of land!"

Fan Tiezhou was speechless, "Obediently, this gift is heavy enough, almost four hundred yuan." ”

At this time, there was a rush of running outside, and Zhang Sanniang suddenly jumped up, "Ning'er is back!" ”

The sound of footsteps was all too familiar to her.
