Fan Ning walked around the Chai Grocery Store, this grocery store is indeed very large, at least four times the area of the old Fan grocery store, if the old Fan grocery store is a small supermarket, then the Chai Grocery Store is a hypermarket.

At this scale, the grocery stores in the west of the city are bound to collapse.

The shop was crowded with customers buying things, and almost every item of goods was much cheaper than Lao Fan's grocery store, and this situation lasted for three months, and the closure of the second uncle's grocery store was certain.

Once the surrounding grocery stores are closed, Lao Chai grocery stores will monopolize the source of customers in the west of the city, and profits will continue to come.

In the final analysis, business competition is still about capital and scale, and in the face of capital predators, small fish and shrimp like the second uncle cannot survive.

Fanning put a copper pot back on the shelf and left the Chai grocery store empty-handed.

"A-Ning!"

As soon as Fanning walked out of the grocery store, two cousins, Akihito and Mingli, jumped up to him and held him hostage, one left and one right.

"Good news for you!" One of them grinned.

The other person added with a smile, "The marriage event you dreamed of is completely out of play." ”

"Wait!"

Fanning grabbed their hands and looked at them, pointed to the guy on the right and smiled, "You are Akihito!" ”

"Then you are Mingli!" Fanning smiled at his cousin on the left.

The two brothers glanced at each other, shook their heads together and said, "Q and A, I really don't know how this guy can win the top spot in the county priest competition, and he can't grasp the point at all when he speaks!" ”

"Maybe the guys who played against him were even more stupid, hey! If only we had signed up for the prefectural taxi competition. ”

"Don't regret it! Two big brothers. ”

Fanning was angry and funny, and there was nothing he could do with the living twins.

"I know what you want to say, did the Wu family officially reject the second uncle?"

"Speaking of the Wu family, I'll tell you another interesting thing."

Halfway through Mingren's speech, Mingli smiled again and continued: "On the second day of your blind date, there was another prodigy who went to the Wu family on a blind date, called Zhao Changgeng, you know this person!" ”

Fan Ning nodded and smiled: "I know, the county magistrate of the Evergreen Academy ranked eighth in the end. ”

"It's this person, he is not as good as you on a blind date, the white copper was brought out, and the maid also recognized the wrong person, but people were recognized by the Wu family, no way, who made his family rich?

I heard that Wu Liuer also met him, Wu Liuer is dressed up so beautiful! That skin is crystal clear, that... Second, what do you say about those few lines of poetry? ”

Akihito stabbed Mingli with his elbow.

"The shadow of the makeup is in the song fan, the fragrance of loose clothes is in the dance style, the beads are in the Luo robe, and the golden cui cup is passed on to the plain hands!" Mingli added in time.

"That's right! It's so beautiful that Zhao Changgeng was stunned. ”

"Is that a concubine, and the two have made a marriage?" Fanning asked with interest.

"Of course!"

Both of them had a playful look in their eyes, "The Wu family covets the Zhao family's family background, and the Zhao family takes a fancy to the Wu family's property, isn't this marriage a match made in heaven?" ”

"What do you do when you say it so badly? The two of them are in love! ”

"This family business is still full of twists and turns!

That miser Wu Yuanwai heard that you took the first place in the county tax, and he regretted it a little, he came to my father the night before yesterday, saying that his daughter has a soft spot for you and wants to marry you, and said that the Wu family will go to your house in two days to propose, A-Ning, congratulations first! ”

"Congratulations, big-headed ghost!"

Fanning couldn't laugh a little and asked, "And then?" ”

"Then I heard that Wu Liu'er was looking for death and life at home, and she was bent on marrying Zhao Langjun, it is estimated that there will be another change in the Wu family, Ah Ning, you have to be strong, the man must focus on the future, wait for you to be admitted to the Jinshi, and let that Wu Liuer regret breaking his intestines."

Fanning didn't bother to talk to them, and knocked two people each with a fan, "You guys are getting farther and farther away, I came to you for something important!" ”

"The villain is here, please give orders from the county magistrate!"

"County magistrates and officials, you don't need villains to kneel down and listen to orders, right?" Akihito pretended to be frightened.

"You two, be serious, okay!"

The two brothers looked at each other angrily, "Second brother, he's saying that we are not serious!" ”

"Gotcha! I can't afford to mess with either of you, see you later! ”

Fan Ning pretended to be angry and just walked a few steps, and the two brothers ran up with a smile and grabbed his arm from left to right, "A-Ning, don't be angry, get down to business, get down to business, we're serious now!" ”

Fan Ning stopped and looked at the two of them: "I heard from the second uncle, you two plan to take the county school?" ”

Akihito scratched his head, "It's not that I'm going to take the exam, but I've already taken it." ”

Another added: "I just didn't get in." ”

Fanning smiled: "It seems that there is another chance in May, do you two want to try it?" ”

The two brothers reacted very quickly, and immediately asked, "A-Ning, do you have any secrets for taking the county school?" ”

Fanning smiled and shook his head, "I don't have a cheat book yet, but if you have to take the exam in May, I can sort out a cheat book." ”

The two brothers were overjoyed, "With this secret book compiled by the prodigy, we can make a fortune!" ”

Fan Ning rolled his eyes angrily, he really deserved to be the son of his second uncle, he was so good at seizing 'business opportunities', compared to his brothers, he regarded money as dung.

At this moment, the second uncle Fan Tiege in the distance was waving his hand and shouting, "Ning'er, there is something here!" ”

Fanning saw two men standing in front of the shop, and knew there was news.

He hurriedly walked up to greet him, and a man stepped forward and saluted, "Little official, the county gentleman invites you to go to the county office." ”

"I know, I'll go right away!"

Fan Ning said to the second uncle Fan Tiege again: "Second uncle, I'll go back directly later." ”

Fan Tiege was really a little unhappy, this stinky boy didn't tell the truth to himself, where did he go to Xuezheng, he obviously went to the county order.

Fan Tiege glared at him, and said angrily: "What's the hurry, come back first!" ”

"Okay!"

Fan Ning saw that the second uncle was a little unhappy, so he didn't dare to insist any longer, he waved his hand to a pair of twin brothers, and then followed him to the county office.

．．．．．．．

When he came to the back hall of the county ya, he saw that the county commander Li Yun was bowing his head and pondering something, Fan Ning hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, "Students, see the county gentleman!" ”

"Fan Shaolang, please come in!"

Li Yun smiled and invited Fan Ning to come in, picked up a cloth bag from under the table, and carefully placed it on the table.

It is Fanning's Creek and Mountain Travel Stone.

"According to Li Quan's confession, this stone was stolen from your home, there is nothing wrong with it!"

Fan Ning stepped forward to look at the stone, it was in good condition, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and hurriedly bowed down and said, "Thank you County Jun for finding the beloved things for the student." ”

"It's a pity that the white jade fan pendant hasn't been found yet, it is estimated that it is on Zhou Damao, his whereabouts are unknown now, this county has sent a strong arrester to go out and arrest it, you wait patiently for a few days."

Now Fanning hopes that this Zhou Damao will die from now on and will not come back.

He bowed and said, "The students will wait patiently!" ”

Li Yun gently stroked the stone again, and asked casually, "Where did you get this superb Taihu stone?" ”

How could Fan Ning not understand the hint of the county order, this county order actually knew that this was a superb Taihu Lake stone, and he also knew the stone!

Fan Ning saw that his eyes became a little eager, so he said apologetically: "This Taihu stone was accidentally found by me from the strange stone lane in Mudu Town, if the county lord likes it, in fact, it doesn't hurt to give it to the county lord, but Zhu Daguan also likes it very much, and I have promised Zhu Daguan that this Taihu stone will be given to him as a birthday gift." ”

Li Yun heard that he had given it to Zhu Yuanfu, he was immediately a little disappointed, although he himself also liked Taihu stones, but he was not obsessed, but his father-in-law was very obsessed with collecting Taihu stones.

Especially when my father-in-law wrote a letter two days ago, asking him to get him a batch of Taihu stones, which he wanted to use as gifts.

This Taihu Lake stone, which is exactly the same as the travel map of Xishan, is really rare, and I believe that my father-in-law will definitely love it, even though it is a seized stolen goods, Li Yun can't help but be moved.

However, Li Yun is not a reckless person, he knows the background of the Zhu family, although this stone is good, he does not dare to be greedy for ink easily, which angers the Zhu family, and affects his career It will outweigh the losses.

Fan Ning observed his words and saw the disappointment in Li Yun's eyes, and he secretly thought in his heart, "It seems that if I don't give him an explanation today, I'm afraid it will annoy this county magistrate." ’

Fan Ning quietly led the troubles to the east, "In fact, there are many famous stones in the Xu Ji Strange Stone Museum, if the county gentleman is interested, you can visit it." ”

One sentence immediately reminded Li Yun, yes! Why didn't I think of the Strange Stone Pavilion?

Li Yun thought that the Xu family actually sent someone to affirm that Li Quan's theft was his personal act and had nothing to do with the Xu family, Li Yun couldn't help sneering in his heart, the white jade fan pendant given by the Son of Heaven had not been found, how could the Xu family get out so easily?

He immediately laughed and said: "This Taihu Lake stone is very rare, I believe that Zhu Daguan will like it, take it!" ”

"Students thank the county gentleman again!"

Fan Ning stepped forward and held Taihu Stone in his arms, saluted Li Yunxing, and retreated.

At this time, Dutou Lu Yougen hurriedly stepped forward and handed a confession to Li Yun, "County Jun, this is a confession that Li Quan took the initiative to expose, Xu Ji Qishi Pavilion has seriously evaded taxes for fifteen years!" ”

Li Yun sneered, he was dozing off, and the pillow was delivered.

．．．．．．

Fan Ning put the Xishan Travel Stone on the table, which immediately aroused the strong interest of Fan Tiege and his son.

"Is this the rock?"

The two brothers exclaimed, "It's worth five hundred taels of silver?" ”

"This stone looks just a bit of a strange thing, why is it so expensive?" Fan Tiege asked puzzled.

Fan Ning smiled slightly: "Does the second uncle know about Fan Kuan?" ”

Fan Tiege nodded, "Of course I know that the famous painter of our Fan family is known as the 'Northern School Painting Saint', and this stone has something to do with him?" ”

In the Song Dynasty, there were no photographs or electronic pictures, and most of the works of famous artists were circulated through copying, and the people who had admired them were only a minority, so it was actually normal for people like Fan Tiege to only hear his name and not see his paintings.

Fan Ning explained with a smile: "Fan Kuan has a famous painting, called Xishan Travel Map, this stone is exactly the same as the mountains in the painting, so this stone is also called Xishan Travel Stone, which is a treasure in the eyes of literati, and even Li Xianling is tempted by it." ”

"And how did you get it?" Akihito and Mingli asked curiously again.

Fan Ning did not hide it, so he told their father and son in detail how he bought this stone with three times of money, and he especially hinted to the second uncle that the peddler only spent a few dozen dollars to buy this stone.

The two brothers listened leisurely, and Akihito slammed his fist on the table, "I have decided, tomorrow I will go to the villages of Taihu Lake to buy stones." ”

Mingli put his arm around his brother's shoulder, his eyes revealing a poet's sadness, "The road to wealth is lonely and far away, and the silver is too heavy for you to carry alone, plus me!" ”

"You two idiots!" Fan Tiege was so angry that he smoked.

He glared at his two sons viciously, straightened his neck and roared: "Hurry up and go back to my room to do my homework, and go to school honestly tomorrow morning, and don't think nonsense!" ”

The two brothers grimace at Fanning and run away like rabbits.
