Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Club of Interest
Taihu soju was too strong, and soon the county commander and the county were helped into an ox cart by his subordinates and sent home.
Zhu Yuanfeng was also drunk and found an empty room to sleep.
Only Zhu Yuanfu was in a good mood, and the amount of wine was good, and he drank a pot of wine, not the slightest bit of alcohol, but full of interest.
"A-Ning, your couplet is very good, it is very suitable for us seniors, I plan to hang it in the study."
Zhu Pei covered his mouth and smiled: "Dumb, you have to write another couplet to Gao Xianling, you see that his face is going to be bitter." ”
"I'll write to him next time I find inspiration."
Fan Ning smiled again and asked, "Where is this Gao County Commander from?" The accent is strong. ”
Zhu Yuanfu stroked his beard and said: "He is from Wuxing, Huzhou, it is really not easy for him to study!" His father originally left him a few hundred acres of land, and after more than 20 years of examination, he not only sold out the land, but also owed a lot of debt.
Three years ago, he went to Beijing to take the exam, and when he walked to Wujiang, he was gone, and he was driven out of the inn, and he had to make a living by selling words on the street, which was very down.
It happened that Pei'er's second grandfather returned to his hometown to worship his ancestors, and when he saw that his handwriting was very good, he accepted him as a protégé of the Zhu family, and funded him to go to Beijing for 50 yuan to take the exam, and he really passed the exam. ”
Zhu Pei blinked with a pair of big smart eyes and said with a smile: "The old man is hinting at what is dumb!" ”
Zhu Yuanfu hurriedly waved his hand, "There is no such thing, A-Ning is Xiwen's heir, I don't dare to accept him as a protégé." ”
Fan Ning's heart moved, how could Old Man Zhu know that he was the heir of the third grandfather?
Could it be that Zhao Xuezheng told him?
This time, though, Fanning guessed wrong.
"Old man, how is my second uncle?" Fanning digressed from the subject.
"Aning, your second uncle is really capable!"
Zhu Yuanfu gave a thumbs up and praised: "I went out before dawn, came back in the middle of the night, and collected strange stones everywhere, and in just a few days, he collected more than a dozen high-grade stones, and even three beautiful stones that can be called high-quality." ”
The Strange Stone Pavilion was taken down ten days ago, and Fan Ning originally planned to transfer the ownership to the second uncle's name, but the second uncle resolutely refused, so Fan Ning had to hang the store in the name of his mother Zhang Sanniang, and the store was ready to be renamed Fan's Strange Stone Pavilion.
The five guys are all original clerks, and the store has entered the preparatory stage, mainly to collect supplies, and Zhongpin Taihu stone can be bought from Qishi Lane.
But the top grade and boutique Taihu Stone can only attack, at present, the second aunt is sitting in the store with a guy, and the second uncle and four guys have gone to the countryside.
Fan Ning smiled: "You have to rely on the big officials to take care of it!" ”
At this time, Zhu Pei suddenly said: "Grandfather, don't we have some superfluous high-grade stones in the garden of our old house, so we can simply use them for the Strange Stone Pavilion as a source." ”
'Ahem! Cough! Zhu Yuanfu was suddenly choked by the tea, and after a while, he pointed to his granddaughter and smiled: "You little girl, you even have to calculate your grandfather's stones?" ”
Zhu Pei pouted and said, "I have four members of the Strange Stone Pavilion, I'm thinking about it for myself!" ”
Zhu Yuanfu couldn't resist his baby granddaughter, so he had to give in: "I picked a few high-grade stones from the old garden of Wujiang to fill the quantity, and first explained that only this time, I don't have many hidden stones." ”
Fan Ning was overjoyed, and hurriedly got up and saluted, "Thank you for your generosity!" ”
.......
Although Fan Ning originally used honey water instead of wine, after Zhu Yuanfu arrived, he still drank several glasses of Taihu Lake Grill, and the forty-degree liquor made him a little dizzy.
Out of Changzhou County, there was a dirt road outside the city, and the carriage was slightly bumpy, making Fanning's stomach churn.
"Stop!"
He shouted, and the carriage slowly stopped.
"Dumb, what's wrong with you?"
Seeing that his face was wrong, Zhu Pei couldn't help but panic and hurriedly opened the car door.
Fanning covered his mouth and rushed out of the carriage and went straight to the roadside vegetable patch, where he crouched in front of the vegetable patch and vomited in the dark.
At this time, Juppé came down with a jug of water, she pinched her nose, looked away, and touched Fanning's shoulder with the jug.
Fanning took the kettle and poured a few large mouthfuls of water, making his chest and abdomen much more comfortable.
Juppe pulled him and helped him up, "You stinky boy, tell you not to drink, you have to be strong, now you are ashamed!" ”
Fanning only felt dizzy for a while, so he simply leaned his head on Jupei's little shoulder, and Juppi pushed him away in disgust, "Stinky to death, stay away from me, don't touch me!" ”
She helped Fanning into the carriage, and Fanning collapsed in the chair, not wanting to move anymore.
"King Chetou, slow down!"
The coachman said yes and drove slowly.
At this time, Jian Meizi bowed her head and stepped forward, and knocked a few times on Fan Ning's chest and abdomen, Fan Ning only felt like he had entered an oxygen inhalation room, his mind was clear all of a sudden, and his chest was no longer uncomfortable.
"Sister Jian, your technique is amazing!" Fanning sat up and exclaimed.
Jian Meizi ignored him and continued to close his eyes and recuperate.
Fanning took two more sips of water, "In the future, I will still drink ordinary wine, I am not destined to drink soju!" ”
"Dumb, what do you usually like?" Juppé diverted the subject.
"Do you need to ask? Playing with stones, of course. ”
"I'm not talking about stones, I'm talking about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, etc., people who read must always know a little, what will you do?"
Fanning scratched his head, he could play the guitar, he could play chess, he was scolded as a stinky chess basket, calligraphy was improving, and painting was not to be talked about.
"I'm not very good at it, what are you asking for?"
Zhu Pei pursed her lips and smiled: "Your county school's interest club is about to recruit people, I'm more interested, what do you like?"
Fan Ning suddenly perked up, the county school in the Song Dynasty actually had a community? How he didn't know.
He was a member of the football team when he was studying in his last life, but the Song Dynasty's Keju did not fight, it was their own performance, and he was not interested.
But when it comes to qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, he doesn't seem to be very interested, at this time, Fan Ning saw the big sword of Jianmeizi, so he asked with a smile: "Is there an interest club for practicing swordsmanship?" ”
Zhu Pei smiled triumphantly: "Yes, yes, but the swordsmanship of the head of the county school is not even as good as me, I think you might as well worship me as a teacher." ”
"Actually, I'm not interested in my swordsmanship, just ask casually!"
He was a little interested in practicing swords with Jian Meizi, so forget about this little girl.
Fanning thought about it, and his mind was like a lump of paste.
At this time, Zhu Pei smiled and said, "Why don't I give you a suggestion!" ”
"Good! I'm listening. ”
Zhu Pei really thinks about Fan Ning, he knows that Fan Ning, a country boy, has little knowledge and does not understand the elegance of the upper class, and if he is not cultivated from a young age, it will be difficult for him to communicate with others in the future.
"It's actually good to appreciate the stone, but the county school doesn't have it, too much learning has a circle, anyway, you have already entered the industry, I don't recommend it, I suggest you join the tea house."
"Tea?" Fanning blinked, he hadn't thought about it.
Juppey nodded, "You won't order tea, share tea, and you will be left out in the cold when friends gather in the future." ”
"How's the cricket?"
Speaking of tea fighting, Fanning suddenly thought of fighting crickets, which is also quite interesting.
"Go aside!"
Juppé was a little angry, he was serious with him, he actually thought of fighting crickets, why didn't he want to fight elephants?
Fan Ning saw Zhu Pei's face and knew that she was angry, so he smiled and coaxed her: "You forgot, the name Biluochun was still given by me, how could I not like tea?" It's just that country babies don't understand tea and are afraid of jokes. ”
Seeing him admit his mistake, the frost on his face melted slightly, and he snorted: "No one is born with it, if you can, what else are you going to learn?" ”
"Then you don't know how to make tea?"
Fanning used the trick to leave the opportunity for praise to Jupei, believing that the little girl's anger would disappear immediately.
"Of course I will!"
Speaking of tea art, Zhu Pei said a little proudly: "I was three years old, and it was Shi Xiaoya, the first female genius of Pingjiang Mansion, who taught me tea art, she taught me to read, taught me to divide tea, taught me to paint, taught me to play the piano, I studied with her for five years, but unfortunately she refused to accept me as an apprentice." ”
"It's a pity!"
Fan Ning sighed leisurely, the first talented woman in Suzhou, why didn't she come to the Great Song Dynasty a few years earlier.
Juppé glared at him, "I'm sad about myself, what are you sighing about?" ”
"Shall I feel sorry for you?"
"That's pretty much it, dumb, let's go learn tea."
At this time, the carriage slowly stopped, and the county learned.
......
Fan Ning returned to the dormitory, and Su Liang and Duan Yu had already returned.
Fanning lay down on the bed and let out a long breath.
"Fanning, your face is not very good, do you want to take two of my pills."
It was Duan Yu who spoke, he had a weak physique, and his family had given him medicine since he was a child.
The people of the Song Dynasty paid great attention to maintenance, and the rich and noble families would give their children and elders tonic medicine, which was also the secret to ensure the healthy growth of their children and the longevity of their elders.
Especially children, their own immunity is relatively low, and there were no antibiotics at that time, so the phenomenon of early death is very common, and even emperors are not immune, let alone ordinary civilians.
For wealthy families, it has become a social mainstream to give children nourishment and enhance immunity.
Duan Yu took ginseng qin qi pills, and the main medicines were ginseng and skullcap.
"I don't need to!"
Fanning waved his hand, sat up and smiled: "It's just a few more glasses of soju!" ”
When Su Liang heard the word soju, he immediately became excited, he rushed forward and said to Fan Ning with an exaggerated face: "You actually drank Taihu Chun, my father likes it the most, he is already addicted to drinking, he feels tasteless when he drinks other wines, I also want to drink two glasses, what is it like?" ”
Fanning slammed the teacup on the table, "I sacrificed my life to accompany the gentleman, and I will invite you to drink another day!" ”
Duan Yu hesitated, "I'm afraid that the school rules are strict!" ”
Su Liang pursed his lips disdainfully, "The school rules are a fart, those dormitory students go out to drink every day, and they come back drunk one by one, where have the school rules been managed?" ”
"I'll ask you something."
Fan Ning thought of the tea club, and was anxious, and asked the two, "Do you know about the interest club?" ”
"Of course I do!"
Su Liang's eyes suddenly became enthusiastic, and he simply ran back to his table and brought a chair to sit down.
"At lunch today, everyone is talking about this, and the county school's interest club is ready to recruit new students."
Fan Ning was overjoyed, Zhu Pei didn't lie to herself, the county school was really interested in the club.
He hurriedly asked, "Then which company are you going to report?" ”
Su Liang smiled heartily and said first: "I like painting, and I plan to report to the painting club." ”
"What about you?" Fanning asked Duan Yu again.
Duan Yu unhurriedly took out a chess piece from his pocket, threw it into the air, and caught it lightly, his slender eyebrows raised slightly.
"Of course I play chess, I like to be quiet, I can sit still all day."
Fan Ning immediately clasped his palms together and said to Duan Yu: "Amitabha, the small temple has a chanting club, which is very suitable for small donors, and small donors are welcome to sign up!" ”
The three of them laughed together,
At this time, Lu Youwei rushed in like a gust of wind.
"The registration for the interest club has begun, the number of places is limited, let's hurry over!"
The three of them panicked, and they couldn't care about tidying up, so they rushed to sign up with their front feet and back feet.
......
The social groups of the Song Dynasty were generally called 'she', such as the famous bow and arrow society, the Qiyun society of Keju, and the spring society.
Of course, the county school does not die of studying, and there are various interest clubs, but unlike the later universities, the county school invites professionals to teach students.
At present, there are eight interest clubs in the county, the piano club, the chess club, the tea club, the calligraphy club, the painting club, the poetry club, the sword club and the juju club.
The interest club holds activities every five and ten every month, and almost everyone participates, such as qin, chess, calligraphy, painting, and tea, there is a limit to the number of people, and there are not many members.
The Poetry Club, the Sword Club, and the Keju Club have no limit on the number of people, and the three interest clubs have the largest number of people.
The registration was carried out in front of the library square of the county school, and the gongs and drums were beaten in the square, which was very lively.
At this time, more than 100 students have come from all over to sign up.
Eight large tables were set up in front of the steps of the library, each crowded with students. "Fanning, which agency do you want to report?" Su Liang asked curiously.
"I want to report to the tea house." Fanning looked around, looking for a table at the tea house.
"There it is!"
Lu Youwei pointed to the registration point with the longest queue, "That's the tea house over there, there are the most people who sign up, and I heard that it is the most difficult to enter, you have to be mentally prepared!" ”
