Fan Ning was overjoyed, it was rare for this little lady's conscience to find out, and he hurriedly introduced two other stones to Zhu Pei.

"These two pieces of Taihu Lake stone, one is called Santan Yingyue, which belongs to the high-grade Taihu Lake stone, and the other is the name I gave, called Jin Niang Dance Clothes Stone, which belongs to the high-quality Taihu Lake stone."

Zhu Pei immediately fell in love with the second stone, "I like the Jin Niang Dance Clothes Stone, the name is good." ”

She tilted her head again and asked, "Why is it called Jin Niang Dance Clothes Stone?" ”

Fan Ning smiled slightly: "Then let me ask you first, what is the wind of Wei and Jin?" ”

Zhu Pei thought for a while and said: "Wang Youjun's words are like clouds, like a dragon, Tao Yuanming's poems are pure and elegant, and they are in a leisurely realm, and the Wei and Jin literati are sad and fallen in Jinqiu, and they are happy and soft in Fangchun, in short, it is a sentence, handsome and elegant, natural and uninhibited." ”

"Well said!"

Fan Ning secretly praised Zhu Pei for summing it up well, and he pointed to this Taihu Lake stone and said: "You see that this Taihu Lake stone is elegant, like a dancing girl dancing casually, with a fluttering skirt and a thin and skinny stone, is there a style of Wei and Jin, so it is called the Jin Niang Dance Clothes Stone." ”

Zhu Pei clapped his hands with joy, "Well said, I'll say this when I was fighting stones!" ”

She hurriedly ordered the family to pick the stone into the house, and at this time, Fanning handed her the gold-painted wooden box again, "This is my birthday gift for your grandfather, you can transfer it to him!" ”

"What is it?"

Juppe took the wooden box and asked curiously, "Also a stone?" ”

"No, it's two bottles of wine this time."

"Wine?"

Zhu Pei frowned slightly, Zhu Qiongyu's self-brewed Zhu Qiongyu liquid in the capital is also a famous name in the capital, how can this stinky boy send two bottles of wine?

Fanning smiled: "Don't underestimate this bottle of wine, it is unique in the world, if it weren't for your grandfather's birthday, I wouldn't have taken it out." ”

"Look at what you said, there is the mystery of the wind of Wei and Jin again."

Zhu Pei pursed her lips and smiled, "I'll give it to my grandfather to taste, what Fanning wine tastes like." ”

She gave Fanning a look, "Come with me!" ”

Fan Ning followed Zhu Pei into Zhu's mansion through the side door, and the main hall in the distance was full of people, but this side was very quiet.

"There are wealthy and powerful people from all over the place, if you are interested, I will take you to get acquainted?" Juppé asked him playfully.

"If I go over there, won't they be used as a monkey? Don't go! ”

Fan Ning knew that he shouted that the prodigy was coming, and promised that everyone would come to watch, test poetry, ask scriptures, and maybe disassemble himself into parts to study, but he was not so interested in accompaniment.

Zhu Pei saw that Fan Ning was quite stylish, and he was also happy in his heart, so he smiled and said, "I'll take you to the back house, it's quiet over there." ”

"Juppey, is your family in the wine business?" Fanning found an opportunity to ask in a low voice.

"My grandfather didn't do a wine business, but my third grandfather has a few main stores in the capital, and he is a big wine merchant, what are you asking for?" Juppe gave him a strange look,

Fanning was a little embarrassed to speak, but if he didn't seize the opportunity, it would be fleeting.

He had no choice but to bite the bullet and say: "There are two bottles of wine in the box, you take one bottle and give it to your third grandfather to taste, let him evaluate it." ”

"Oh-"

Zhu Pei suddenly realized, and looked at Fanning with disdain, "I thought that being a county soldier would be a bit of a good thing?" As a result, his nature is difficult to change, and he is still a small money fan. ”

Fan Ning clasped his palms together and begged, "The little brother is poor, and the family is almost unable to open the pot, so your old man will help, and the Jin Niang dance clothes stone will be given to you." ”

"Humph! Who is rare about your broken stones, whether you can help or not, it depends on the mood in this ya! ”

Fanning already knows Ju Pei very well, a typical knife-mouthed tofu heart, since she said so, then the matter has eyebrows, Fanning was in a good mood for a while.

They walked on a long covered bridge, it was early spring, the plum blossoms were beginning to bloom, the covered bridge was fragrant, and there were clusters of pink and white on both sides, which were particularly delicate and dazzling.

In the distance, there are actually two acres of vegetable fields, which are yellow and full of rape flowers.

"Jupei, how is your grandmother Zeng?" When Fanning saw the vegetable patch, he suddenly thought of the old lady last time.

"She's fine! I think of you all day long, and I expect you to water her vegetables. ”

Fanning smiled dumbly, "Good! I'll go and water her old man's house later. ”

Zhu Pei gave him a blank look, "How can I water the vegetables for you now, or you can help me water the flowers!" ”

"I'm a guest at your house, are you embarrassed to let me water the flowers?"

"Humph! You know you're not sincere. ”

The two of them quarreled, and soon walked across the covered bridge, and then directly entered the back house, there were a little more guests here, almost all of them were female dependents, one by one dressed up in floating green and flowing pills, and the abundance was fully displayed, and the whole back house was full of warblers and swallows, and the fragrance was fragrant.

Most of them are in groups of three or five, gathering together to enjoy flowers and fish, and chat about family life.

Fanning scratched his head with an embarrassed expression, "Jupe, I'd better go somewhere else!" It's full of female guests, so it's not convenient for me. ”

Zhu Pei covered her mouth and giggled, "You little brat, who would take you seriously, and actually say that you are inconvenient, where are you inconvenient?" It's going to laugh to death! ”

"Apei!"

A noble lady of about forty years old walked beside her, wearing a white embroidered gown, with a slender figure, graceful and luxurious, combed into a high cloud shape with black and shiny, her face was painted snow-white, and a pair of red phoenix eyes were particularly sharp.

"Auntie, when did you come?"

Zhu Pei's tone was a little cold, last time her aunt was instigated by Xu Ji and asked her not to participate in the prodigy competition, Zhu Pei is still a little angry.

"When are you going to see your cousin! He was beaten so badly, hey! The old man was too ruthless. ”

"He deserves it!"

Zhu Pei said coldly: "If you don't do a good gentleman, you have to be a gentleman on the beam, if you want me to say, breaking one of his legs will make him learn a lesson." ”

Fan Ning suddenly understood, they were talking about Xu Ji, and that Xu Ji seemed to have been beaten badly.

Although Fanning has no news of Xu Ji, it is expected by him.

In order to vent his anger, he not only entered a shop of the Xu family, but also put his father and uncle in danger of losing his official position.

Wang's face suddenly sank, why did his niece speak so ugly?

She glanced at Fan Ning, and said with some dissatisfaction: "Whose family is this little official?" How can you just enter the inner house? ”

Fanning smiled, "Under Fanning!" ”

"You are..."

Wang's face changed, she took two steps back in shock, glared at Fan Ning, slowly, her willow eyebrows rose upside down, and her eyes flashed with anger, "You have hurt my nephew so badly, get out, you are not welcome here!" ”

Zhu Pei's face suddenly became gloomy, and she said to her aunt very dissatisfied: "This is my house, Fanning is the guest I invited, please respect me!" ”

"You! You.... He even spoke for outsiders. Wang's eyes turned black with anger.

At this time, the surrounding ladies all looked over here, whispering, it seemed that Ah Pei and her aunt had quarreled, and who was that little official, Ah Pei was protecting him.

Fan Ning gently put Zhu Pei aside, he smiled faintly, and said to the Wang family: "Madam, if you are smart, you should be polite now, I am the bitter master, if I make a big deal and Xu Ji is suspected of stealing, does he still want to participate in the imperial examination?"

Madame's husband is an official! Will the imperial court tolerate a tax evasion official sitting high in the temple? There is also Ling Lang, even if Ling Lang is admitted to the Jinshi, I am afraid that he will be removed from his reputation, I will do all I say, if Mrs. still wants to make trouble, I will accompany me to the end! ”

After speaking, he smiled at Jupei: "Jupei, let's go!" ”

Zhu Pei was really dissatisfied with her aunt in her heart, married to the Xu family, and thought about the interests of the Xu family all day long, where did she ever think that she was her niece.

She ignored her aunt and led Fanning to her yard.

Wang stood there motionless, her face coated with lead powder and she couldn't see her face, but her neck was red, and her eyes flashed with shame and horror.

"Dumb, don't pay attention to my aunt, she is simple-minded and has never been knowledgeable."

Fanning smiled, "I won't care about this kind of little thing!" ”

After a while, they came to a courtyard, this is the courtyard where Zhu Pei lives, covering an area of five acres, in front of a large garden, in the garden small bridges and flowing water, on both sides of the flowing water stand seven or eight unique top-grade Taihu Lake stones.

There is also a small hill with several large trees planted on the hill, and at the top of the hill is an octagonal white jade pavilion.

Behind are two red attics, one for Jupe's bedroom and the other for Jupe's living room and study.

"Brother!" Juppé shouted twice to the pavilion.

Fanning only then noticed that there was a young man sitting in the pavilion, very fat, with his back to them, and he didn't seem to hear Jupe's shout.

Zhu Pei was helpless, so he had to say to Fan Ning: "It's my brother above, he is also a big fool like you, I'll go and send wine to my grandfather, you can sit with him!" ”

Fan Ning suddenly remembered what Zhu Yuanfu had said to him, Zhu Pei had an elder brother, who was fifteen years old, and his intelligence was only equivalent to that of a three- or four-year-old child, and he had been living in the capital.

He nodded, "Go ahead!" I'll be with him. ”

"My brother has the best temper, you are not allowed to bully him!"

Zhu Pei told the maid in the courtyard a few more words, and then left with the wooden box.

Fan Ning handed the Taihu Stone in his arms to Jian Meizi and walked quickly towards the hill.
