Chapter 101: Six Senior Disciples

Leaving the bookstore, Fan Ning came to Yang Ji diagonally opposite the county school and handed it over.

The express delivery of the Song Dynasty was the express company of later generations, which not only did business in the same city, but also did consignment in other places.

Yang Ji has 12 branches in Pingjiang Province and one branch in Mudu Town, and a few days ago, Fan Ning also delivered a few winter clothes and a letter home through the express foot.

The Song Dynasty did not have a telephone, and Fanning did not want to go to Changqiao Town again, so it was most convenient to take the express delivery.

This is one of the services that moved him the most after Fan Ning came to the Song Dynasty, there is such a convenient express delivery, and the news can be quickly delivered for a few pennies.

Even if there were no telephones in this era, he did not feel any inconvenience.

Urgent foot delivery is very convenient, the same city to send letters, guaranteed to be delivered within two days, the fee is also low, if you add a little money, you can also deliver on the same day.

Fan Ning wrote a note, handed it to the shopkeeper of the anxious foot shop, and took out ten cents to him, "Longqiao Town, it's urgent, be sure to deliver it today." ”

The shopkeeper accepted the money and said with a smile: "Don't worry, the little official, I promise to deliver it today!" ”

The Song Dynasty's urgent foot delivery shop was very thoughtful, if it was to send a letter, they had their own special letterbox, painted with fire paint, and could only be torn open by the recipient, so that they were not afraid of privacy leakage.

........

It was already dusk when he returned to the county school, so he simply walked directly to the canteen.

As soon as he arrived at the door of the canteen, Lu Youwei flashed out from behind a big tree, jumped forward and said with a smile: "Yesterday you said about making up classes, do you still count?" ”

"Have you been out looking for a cram school?"

"I went this afternoon and asked Yang Daru's cram school in the inn opposite, and they all said no, the effect of the make-up class is poor, and the make-up class fee is very expensive, it costs 200 yuan an hour."

Fan Ning smiled, "I just want to make up lessons for my relatives, and there is no charge, you can make up if you want, but you have to change your name to call me senior brother." ”

Lu Youwei scratched his head and smiled: "In the past, I was mixed with Xu Ji, and I was born to be a junior brother, and I will be mixed with you in the future." ”

........

In the afternoon of the next day, after dinner, Fan Ning put on his bookbag and walked towards the Temple of Literature with Lu Youwei.

It was half past six o'clock in the afternoon, and at least half an hour before dark, the sun was about to set, and the afterglow dyed the earth a magnificent orange-red.

At this time, most of the shops were closed, and the Confucian Temple Square seemed a little deserted, and Fanning saw two teenagers standing at the door of the bookstore at a glance.

The two were of medium stature, twelve or thirteen years old, wearing scarves and brocade robes, but in different colors, one was white and the other was blue.

Both of them are very handsome and polite.

Fanning was also seen by two students, both of whom looked a little cramped, each carrying a large bag full of stationery and books.

It was not their intention to come to make up the class, they didn't want to come at all, Fanning was younger than them, the first title was a big problem, should they call Fanning Master? They don't want to.

Secondly, they are also very suspicious of Fan Ning's talent, although Fan Ning is the first county scholar, he may not be able to pass the county school, maybe he is not as good as himself.

The two muttered in their hearts, looking at Fanning reluctantly.

Fan Ning also had a trace of resistance in his heart, he also didn't want to teach these two students, are these children of big families also like the middle school students of Yanying Academy?

One by one, they were self-righteous, and when they heard that their father was a fisherman, they looked contemptuous, and they wanted to trample themselves under their feet and stomp on them again.

Fan Ning stepped forward and asked with a smile: "The two junior brothers are here to make up for the lesson!" ”

A 'junior brother' made the two students breathe a sigh of relief at the same time.

It's okay to call Fan Ning a senior brother, the ancient literati paid attention to the first to hear the Tao as a long, Fan Ning wore the green clothes of the county school, and wore a scarf and hat, and he was already an official student of the county school.

And they are still students in the academy, so it is okay to call Fan Ning a senior brother.

Don't look at these two students are two or three years older than Fanning, but in terms of their own experience and social experience, Fanning is much better than them.

As their senior brother, Fanning has no psychological obstacles at all.

Linghu Chong and Lao Denuo on "Smiling Proud Jianghu", Lao Denuo, who is full of orange peels, call Ling Huchong, who is dozens of years younger than him, a senior brother?

The two bowed together, "See Senior Brother Fan!" ”

"You should all know me, but I don't know your last name yet?"

The young man in the white scholar's uniform said: "My name is Lin Hong, I am a student in the school affiliated to the county school, and my home is in Wu County. ”

"What about you?" Fanning asked the other with a smile.

"In Xia Dongkun, his home is in Changzhou County, and he is also a student in the school affiliated to the county school."

Fan Ning smiled, "It seems that Senior Brother Dong is a relative of Dong Yuanwai!" ”

"I am his nephew, and Dong Yuanwai is my second uncle."

Fan Ning was a little puzzled: "As far as I know, almost all of your affiliated schools can be admitted to the county school, why don't you study for two years and then go directly to the county school?" ”

"This ....."

The two scratched their heads and said a little embarrassed: "Everyone wants to go to the county school as soon as possible, and after they come out of the county school, they can directly participate in the imperial examination." ”

Fanning introduced them to Lu Youwei behind them.

At this time, a bookstore man came out and said to them, "The proprietor has commanded, please come in!" ”

Fan Ning smiled at the three of them and said, "You go in first to prepare, and I have to wait for two more junior disciples." ”

The three of them walked towards the bookstore, and Fan Ning hurriedly said to the guy: "Take them to the second floor of the warehouse, and I will talk to Dong Yuanwai." ”

"Petty officials, rest assured, the proprietor has ordered."

The three of them went in first, Fanning waited for a while, only to see three people walking in the distance, in addition to Akihito and Mingli, there was another person following.

Fan Ning was slightly stunned, there were actually three people here, what are these two guys doing?

"Aning, we're here!"

One of them waved at Fanning, who couldn't tell if he was Akihito or Mingli.

"Why are you here now?"

"We remembered the wrong place, we thought it was a county school, but then we remembered that it was the Temple of Literature, so we hurried over."

Fan Mingren pulled Fan Ning aside and said in a low voice: "The other is our good brother, the family has so much money that it is moldy, I will introduce you to the business, I will pay you 200 wen in half an hour, I will draw 50 wen, Mingli will leave him alone." ”

"Whip your head!"

Fanning struck him with a fan, and then took a closer look at the student, and saw that he was tall and tall, very strong, a head taller than himself, at least 1.8 meters, and a wide body, looking like Xiong Er on TV from a distance.

When he got closer, Fanning noticed that he had a fleshy face, small eyes, and a fierce look.

This appearance made Fanning feel a little worried in his heart.

If such a student struck him himself, would he lift himself up and throw him into the river?

Fanning was upset for a while, these two guys were looking for trouble for themselves!

He glared at Akihito fiercely and asked unhappily, "His family won't agree, right?" It is advisable to ask his family for advice first! ”

"Of course I agree!"

Akihito hurriedly said: "His father heard that you were making up the class, and immediately came to beg us, he must let me take his son, I really can't shirk it." ”

"How is his calligraphy?" Fanning wanted to find something else wrong.

If calligraphy is not good, then there is no point in making up lessons.

"The calligraphy is okay, in the middle of the Long Bridge School, by the way, he is a student."

Mingren is good at observing words and feelings, he saw Fan Ning's disgusted and reluctant look, and hurriedly clasped his palms and begged: "You must give me this face, it's really not good, I don't want to take the head." ”

Fanning had no choice but to hit him on the head with a fan.

"Since your conscience finds out, don't pull your head, my old man has no choice but to agree!"

Fan Mingren was overjoyed and hurriedly beckoned, "Iron head come here, Xiao Fan agreed!" ”

The student, who looked like Xiong Er, stepped forward quickly, and a fierce momentum rushed towards him, startling Fanning to take two steps back, his scalp exploded, and if the situation was not good, he was ready to run away.

Unexpectedly, this Xiong Er knelt down in front of Fanning, 'Bang! Bang! Kowtow, "Li Dashou, a student, greets Master!" ”

This big turn made Fanning stunned, people call themselves master! actually kowtowed to yourself, this is not your birthday, but your birthday.

Fanning couldn't laugh or cry a little, and hurriedly helped him up.

"You three listen to me!"

Akihito and Mingli jumped forward, one left and one right, grinning, "Please lecture Master!" ”

Fanning was angry and funny with these two guys.

"You call me Master, why does the second uncle call me?"

Mingli blinked, "Of course my father calls you the big proprietor!" ”

Fanning didn't bother to pay attention to him, and said to the three of them: "I'll tell you, there are three other students who also make up lessons with me, they are already in the bookstore, according to the rules I set, you all call me senior brother, not master." ”

Akihito muttered in a low voice, "Obviously I'm the boss, so I might as well call Master!" ”

Fan Ning glared at him, "Now I'm a senior in the county school, and you are the junior brother of the school, understand?" ”

"Understood, senior brother!" The three of them spoke in unison.

"Come in with me!"

Fan Ning led the three of them into the bookstore, Li Dashou followed Fan Ning honestly, but the two brothers were curiously looking at the rows of books on the shelves, whispering from time to time.

"Second brother, there is actually a sale of "Wenxin Carving Dragon" here, didn't the school say that it couldn't be bought?"

The two brothers immediately saw a business opportunity, "How about we buy it back and increase the price by 20%?" ”

"Let's just say we bought it from Wuxi at a high price!"

The two brothers discussed for a moment, grabbed Fanning's arm from left to right, and said with a smile: "A-Ning, can you help us tell the owner of the bookstore, we will help him sell books and take a commission of 20%." ”

Fanning rolled his eyes, these two guys want to eat the seller after eating the buyer, it's too dark.
