When Fanning turned around, he saw a thin old man standing behind him, about fifty years old, with a small nose and eyes, burnt skin, and a smile on his face.

He wore a crown on his head and a wide white robe, which hung on his thin body, which looked a little funny.

"If I'm not mistaken, you're dumb! I was still playing with mud when I saw you that year, and in a blink of an eye, you have grown up. ”

The old man's expression was a little exaggerated, two small round eyes stared at Fanning, and between the two eyes hung a lonely small, reddened nose to the sky.

"Excuse me, ...... you are?"

For some reason, this old man made Fanning feel very uncomfortable, although he was close to himself, Fanning always felt that there was a hint of hypocrisy in his tone.

"Old man Zhang Yi, is your fourth uncle's master, and your grandfather is an old friend, let's go! I'll take you to check-in. ”

As he spoke, he reached for Fanning's bookbag, and Fanning quickly took a step back.

smiled: "How can you trouble the professor to get the bag for the student." ”

Zhang Yi grabbed the air, the smile on his face disappeared, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes, but he immediately disappeared again, and said with a reluctant smile: "It's a good thing for young people to know how to respect the elderly, come with me, and I'll accompany you to report for duty." ”

Fan Ning said with a smile: "Our Liu Courtyard Master has already agreed with Zhao Xuezheng to let me be Zhao Xuezheng's protégé." ”

Zhang Yi was secretly annoyed, this Zhao Xiuwen was not quick to start, but Fan Ning was the first county scholar, and such an excellent young genius only appeared once in three years, how could he let it go easily.

"I have a good relationship with your master! There are a lot of senior brothers from your Yanying Academy in Gufeng Academy, I'll take you to meet them, and I'll explain to your academy master when I go back, let's go! It's not early. ”

He grabbed Fanning's arm and left, but Fanning gently broke free of his hand.

"I'm still waiting for Zhao Xuezheng."

Zhang Yi finally became a little annoyed, he looked Fan Ning up and down, "I said what is the matter with you as a student?" I came to invite you personally, but you still didn't give face, do you still want me to beg you? ”

"Zhang's words are serious!"

There was a person walking briskly next to him, tall and thin, with a serious face, it was Zhao Xiuwen, a scholar and politician.

"Fanning, didn't I ask you to wait for me at the school gate? How do you run around? ”

Zhao Xiuwen glanced at Fan Ning, who understood, scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "The students want to visit the North District, and they just happened to meet a group of freshmen. ”

"I have time to visit in the future, you can come with me!"

Zhao Xiuwen stepped forward and grabbed Fan Ning's wrist, smiled at Zhang Yi and said, "I specially went to Mudu Town to settle this student, and Zhang Jiaoyu is a step late!" ”

Zhang Yi's face became very ugly, he glared at Fan Ning with extreme annoyance, and scolded: "I don't know what to lift!" ”

He snorted heavily, turned and walked away.

Zhao Xiuwen's face was also a little ugly, this Zhang Yi relied on Yang Xiancheng to support him, broke the rules of the county school everywhere, used power for personal gain, and exploited students.

If he hadn't adhered to his principles, the county school would have been ruined by him.

"Xuezheng, I haven't reported yet!" Fanning laughed.

Zhao Xiuwen snorted and knocked on his head, "You stinky boy is running around, I went to your town the day before yesterday, and I actually pounced, your father said that you went to the county office, I hurried back to the county office, and said that you have left, are you kid playing me?" ”

Fan Ning covered his head and said aggrievedly: "How did I know that you were looking for me?" Master Liu didn't make it clear, I didn't know that the county school would be divided. ”

Zhao Xiuwen couldn't help but be angry and funny when he saw his aggrieved look, he turned his head and saw Lu Youwei, and was immediately surprised: "Aren't you a middle student of Yanying Academy?" How did you go to county school? ”

Lu Youwei trembled and said, "I.... My father asked me to go to the county school as an auditor. ”

Zhao Xiuwen saw the word Luming on his sign, and laughed, "It turns out that it is also from our Luming Academy, let's go together!" ”

Zhao Xiuwen took Fan Ning to report to the main hall, and Lu Youwei followed behind with an excited face, his heart was full of expectations, would Xuezheng accept himself as a disciple?

．．．．．．．

The Song Dynasty also had the concept of school district housing, and the housing prices near famous schools were always much more expensive than other areas, not that you could enter a famous school if you bought a school district room.

Instead, many wealthy families bought houses near prestigious schools in order to facilitate their children to go to school nearby.

Because of the high demand, the housing prices near the prestigious schools are correspondingly higher.

In the Jiashan Fang in the north of the county school, there is a mansion covering an area of about 20 acres, this house is called Zhu's other house, which was specially purchased by Zhu Yuanfu when Zhu Pei's father went to the county school.

Previously, Juppe lived here when he participated in the prefectural priest trials.

The verandah in the house is tortuous, the flying building is inserted into the air, the layout of various pavilions and pavilions is ingenious, there is a special courtyard in the backyard, several rooms are repaired, and thousands of poles and green bamboos are shaded.

Two candles were lit in the room, making it very bright, and Juppé was sitting lazily on a soft couch reading a book.

She wore a moon-white gown embroidered with silver edges, a pair of white silk pants inlaid with gold trim, and a pair of flowered cloth shoes embroidered with birds and phoenixes on her feet.

She combed her hair into a double-ring moon-looking bun, and inserted a crested golden hairpin inlaid with precious stones, and a coil of green silk hung down at will, covering her snow-white and delicate face.

A pair of big bright black eyes did not read, but listened attentively to the report of the guard.

The guard is not Jian Meizi, Jian Meizi is standing aside, like a half-cut iron tower.

At the door stood a guard dressed in a scholar's uniform, this guard was of medium stature, about twenty years old, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and a very heroic appearance.

His name is Xu Qing, and he is one of Zhu Yuanfu's three personal guards, and he was transferred by Zhu Pei for temporary use.

"Little master Qiyu, Fan Ning entered the Luming Academy and followed Zhao Xuezheng, but the strange thing is that his name is not in the list of disciples announced by Zhao Xuezheng, and he inquired about it, and his identity is a protégé."

Zhu Pei was also a little strange in his heart, that stinky boy was the first place in the county taxi! Could it be a disciple?

She asked, "Are there any other county magistrates on the list?" ”

"I have inquired about it, and the other nine county scholars have all become disciples, but Fan Ning is not a disciple, and there are rumors in Luming Academy, it seems that Fan Ning himself is unwilling."

Zhu Pei nodded, that's right, only if Fan Ning himself is unwilling, he will not become a disciple, but why does he not want to become a disciple of Old Man Zhao?

Zhu Pei understood that he didn't want to become Old Man Zhao's disciple, let alone Fan Ning.

Zhu Pei thought about it and said with a smile: "Xu Qing, why don't I get you a place as an auditor, and you can also go to the county to study!" ”

Xu Qing's face flushed, "I have only studied in elementary school for two years, and I am most afraid of studying, thank you for the kindness of the little master, you can apply for the county school guard." ”

"Is the county school also recruiting guards?"

Xu Qing nodded, "I've inquired about it, they want to recruit five guards to live with the students, and the treatment is not bad." ”

"Yes, you can apply!"

Xu Qing turned around to leave, but he stopped again, turned back to Zhu Pei and said, "There is one more thing, I almost forgot about my humble position." ”

"What's the matter?"

"Today Fanning seems to have offended a big man in the county school."

Juppey sat up all of a sudden, and hurriedly asked, "Who did he offend?" ”

"He offended Zhang Yi, the chief professor of the Gufeng Academy."

Juppé laughed, even more curious.

"He actually offended Zhang Heidao, why?"

Xu Qing scratched his head, "I don't know the specific position, but I heard that Zhang Yi personally went to recruit Fan Ning as a disciple, but Fan Ning refused, so ......"

Zhu Pei snorted, that Zhang Yi is notoriously narrow-minded and has a strong sense of revenge, Fan Ning offended this person, and he will have to suffer in the future.

Zhu Pei thought for a while and said, "You still establish contact with Fanning, and if he has any difficulties, he can come to you." ”

"Ignorance, understood!" Xu Qing saluted, turned around and hurried away.

Zhu Pei's white fingers tapped lightly on the table, and a sly smile appeared on her face.

"Stinky boy, this favor is not ordinary!"
