Fan Ning recognized the carriage parked in front of the Strange Stone Pavilion from afar, how many times had this carriage stopped at the gate of the county school two years ago, the familiar Qianying, and the big sword female guard that he remembered deeply.

Could it be that Juppé is back?

It shouldn't be her, Fanning convinced herself again.

This carriage was not Jupei's special carriage, but the carriage used by the Zhu family to pick up and drop off VIPs, which happened to be used by Jupei during that time.

Despite thinking so, Fanning still sped up and ran towards the Strange Stone Pavilion.

He ran to the door of the Strange Stone Pavilion in one breath, and at a glance saw a very tall woman standing near the door of the store, a familiar wide sword behind her, and a long thick braid dragged down to her hips, it was Zhu Pei's personal female guard, Jian Meizi.

After two years of not seeing her, she did not change much, wearing a short coat embroidered with silver plum blossoms on a black background, a pair of wide, cool green silk trousers, and a pair of embroidered shoes at least a size 45.

Jian Meizi felt extremely keen, she felt someone behind her, and when she turned her head, a pair of sharp eyes fell on Fanning's face like a sword.

She was stunned for a moment, and then a rare smile appeared on her face, but this smile disappeared after a short while, like a spring in the cold winter.

She regained her old cold countenance, turned her head away, and ignored Fanning.

But even this indifference, Fanning felt very cordial, as if he had been reunited with it after a long absence.

Fan Ning smiled and walked into the store, several guys were standing aside, looking a little nervous, and the second uncle Fan Tiege was holding a book and was reporting unhurriedly.

"This month, five pieces of high-grade Taihu stone were sold, fourteen pieces of medium-grade Taihu stone were sold, and the store of low-grade Taihu stone was not operated, totaling six hundred and seventy-seven yuan.......

Fanning's gaze fell on the shelf, only to see a slender figure with his back to him, and that familiar feeling greeted him.

It's her, I haven't seen her for two years, she has grown a lot taller, like a little butterfly out of a cocoon, and like a deer that has just been drawn, her body has begun to develop, she is slender and thin, and she has a hint of girlishness.

She was wearing a silver fringed jacket with a double screw bun, her long hair coiled around her head, which looked even more jet-black and thick, and under her hair was a snow-white neck, she was looking at a piece of Taihu Lake stone on the shelf, and she didn't notice Fanning walking into the store.

At this time, Fan Tiege's report stopped, and he was only halfway through his speech, which made Zhu Pei feel a little strange, and he couldn't help but look back, but he happened to see Fan Ning's smile.

A hint of surprise burst out of Zhu Pei's beautiful eyes, but her snow-white pretty face turned red, and she was suddenly infinitely shy. Confused, she turned and walked out of the store.

"Jupe!"

Fanning shouted at her and hurriedly chased her out.

Zhu Pei stopped, the shyness on her face finally returned to normal, she slowly turned her head and looked at Fanning with a smile, "You stinky boy still remember me?" ”

"How could I forget you?"

Fanning grinned and scratched his head, "You seem to have changed a little." ”

"Where have I changed?" There was a mischievous smile in Zhu Pei's pretty eyes.

"Hmmm! I've grown a lot taller, and ..... It seems that I have lost a lot of weight, and my face has also lost weight. ”

Two years ago, Zhu Pei was still a round and jade little lady, but now, the jaw has a contour, the shape of a melon seed face has come out, the nose is high and straight, and the pink mouth has a contour, but it is still moist and delicate.

The eyebrows are like two slender crescents, and under the eyebrows, a pair of pretty eyes are still black and white, shining like two gemstones.

In one particular detail, Fanning noticed that her breasts were also starting to bulge.

Once a pink little lady, now she is a delicate girl.

"Don't you know me anymore?" Zhu Pei asked with a pursed smile.

"Nope!"

Fanning hurriedly shook his head, "Although the appearance has changed a little, the feeling has not changed, the first time I saw you, that familiar feeling, I knew that you were back." ”

"Nonsense!"

Zhu Pei smiled and said: "You only know that it is me when you see Sister Jian, otherwise you won't know me when you walk by on the street." ”

Fanning spread his hands, "If you don't believe it, I can't help it, Jupe, I'll invite you to dinner, I haven't had lunch yet!" ”

"Good! When I went to the Mountain Treasure Museum, I missed the stewed shiitake mushrooms there. ”

..........

After a while, the two sat down by the window on the second floor of the Mountain Treasure Pavilion, and they could see the mansion of the Zhu Mansion in the distance outside the window.

Fanning ordered a few stewed mountain vegetarian dishes, and ordered a braised pheasant.

"Can I drink?" Fanning asked with a smile.

Juppe shook his head, "Don't drink, have a jar of chilled pear juice." ”

In a moment, the bartender served them a meal of drinks, and another fellow brought a wooden basin full of crushed ice, and in the center was a black clay pot with freshly squeezed pear juice.

The juicer of the Song Dynasty was actually a small stone mill, where pieces of cut pears were put into the stone cave in the middle, and the pear juice flowed down the stone trough.

Fanning picked up the clay pot, slowly filled Jupe's wine cup with a glass of cold and thorough pear juice, and asked with a smile, "I don't know when you came back?" ”

The shyness of Fanning had quietly faded when she first saw her, and Juppe returned to her old look, taking a sip of chilled pear juice, her smile blooming like a flower.

"Early this morning! I arrived at Mudu at dawn, and I also said that I would go to the county seat tomorrow. ”

"What are you going to do in the county seat?" Fanning couldn't help but smile and asked.

Zhu Pei's face flushed, "Of course I went to see the little sister, I won't go to you anyway, to be honest, if it weren't for the Strange Stone Pavilion, I would have forgotten you a long time ago." ”

"It's so devastating!"

Fan Ning patted his forehead and pretended to be frustrated: "I thought Xu Qing was sent by you." ”

"Don't be sentimental, Xu Qing was sent by my grandfather, okay? It has nothing to do with me, don't forget, my bodyguard is Sister Sword. ”

Speaking of this, Ju Pei triumphantly glanced at Jian Meizi, who was eating at another table.

"That's right! How is your grandfather doing, did he come together this time? ”

Juppey shook his head, "Grandfather's mourning will not end until the end of the year, because it is a great-grandmother, the requirements for our younger generations will be a little looser, and the mourning period for our great-grandchildren will be over." ”

"Then you have been in Wu County since then?"

Zhu Pei shook his head, his eyes were a little gloomy, "I will stay in Wu County for two or three days, and then send my brother to Beijing, I may stay in the capital a little longer in the future,"

Fanning took a glass of wine and drank it all, and said with a smile: "It's really nice to see an old friend today!" ”

After saying that, he was about to pour himself another glass of wine, but Juppe reached out to cover his glass.

"Fanning, now is not the time to drink, let me tell you, this time your opponent is very powerful, and the three guys in Changzhou County are among the top three in the Taixue entrance exam,

There is also Liu Ran, the county magistrate of Wujiang County, even my second grandfather praised him as the most powerful prodigy in Wujiang County in the past 20 years, and Yan Qing ...... Kunshan County"

"I probably know a little bit about that, too!"

Fan Ning said lightly: "This Liu Ran ranks seventh in the situation map of Zhao Xuezheng's examination situation, and the three county scholars of Changzhou County occupy the top three in the Taixue entrance examination, but I can't imagine how powerful it is." ”

Zhu Pei looked into Fan Ning's eyes and said: "In December last year, Liu Ran went to Xuanzhou to participate in a mock test, he ranked first in the boy list, and Xu Jicai, who fought with you at the beginning, ranked fourteenth, you can imagine how powerful this Liu Ran is." ”

Fan Ning was secretly surprised, since he was so powerful, why did Zhao Xuezheng still rank him behind him?

Fan Ning knew that Zhao Xuezheng was not an exaggerated person, and there must be some shortcomings in this Liu Ran that made Zhao Xuezheng not optimistic about him.

He smiled and asked, "This Liu Ran must be weak in some way!" ”

"He's a little weaker in tackling problems, but he's been making up for it since the beginning of this year.

Also, last month, Yang Xuezheng of Wujiang County took him and three other county soldiers to Changzhou County, and conducted an examination with ten county soldiers in Changzhou County, and Zhu Ran ranked sixth, which shows the strength of Changzhou County. ”

Fanning was silent for a moment, he raised his head and smiled at Zhu Pei: "No matter what, I still want to thank you for your timely reminder, I will not underestimate the enemy, starting tomorrow, I will go all out to prepare for the imperial examination!" ”
