Before dawn, Fanning was awakened by the sound of a murmuring voice, and he opened his eyes dimly, feeling that there was another person sitting on the chair beside his bed.

He was really a little dissatisfied and said, "You go to other people's homes to invade like this? ”

"Actually, no!"

Xu Qing smiled: "If there are girls in your room, I will never come in." ”

"Looks like I'm going to recruit a little maid today."

Fanning yawned, closed his eyes and fell asleep again.

In a daze, he heard Xu Qing drop a sentence, "If you owe someone a favor, even if you can't pay it back for a while, you should express your gratitude." ”

When Xu Qing left, Fan Ning didn't know, but when he woke up, the doors and windows were already closed, as if nothing had happened.

Xu Qing's kind words and persuasion are actually good, if it weren't for Zhu Pei, he would probably still be being watched by others in a daze, no matter what, he should thank Zhu Pei for his help.

Fanning's attitude was not bad, and he went to Zhu's mansion early the next morning to thank Zhu Pei for helping him get rid of surveillance.

He waited at the gate of the Zhu Mansion for a while, and a tall and fat butler came out and said, "Little official, please come with me!" ”

"Trouble the compound!"

Fan Ning followed him into the gate of the Zhu family's mansion, which was different from the Zhu mansion in Mudu and Wujiang.

The houses of this capital are built very exquisitely, and each courtyard wall has long eaves, white walls and black tiles, which is particularly elegant.

The courtyards in the house are not big, each small courtyard has its own style, some are exquisite, some are elegant, some are quiet, some are rich, and it is easy to move, which is beautiful.

Fanning walked along a corridor into a small courtyard, in the middle of the small courtyard is a circular fish pond, in the pond there is a high Qingtai Lake stone, exquisite, like a fairy in the sky, can be called the best.

"This is the Distinguished Guest Hall, the little official will sit for a while, and my master will be there soon!"

Fanning walked up the steps and entered the elegant and rich guest hall, where a thick red jacquard Persian carpet was laid on the floor, and in the center were two rosewood official chairs, in the middle was a coffee table, and on each side were two identical rosewood official chairs.

In the corner of the wall is a valuable white jade screen, on which are painted exquisite pictures of court ladies.

Fan Ning looked up again and looked at the walls on both sides, where there were several calligraphy paintings of celebrities, one of which he recognized as Ouyang Xiu's handwriting.

Several other flower and bird sketches are estimated to have been painted by famous artists.

At this time, a maid came in and served him tea, and the tea cup made Fan Ning startled, it was actually a Jun porcelain official kiln, and this kind of crystal full texture was not fired by ordinary kilns.

Just as Fanning was exclaiming with the teacup, a crisp sound of ringing sound sounded outside, and then a burst of footsteps came, and it seemed that five or six people were walking towards the Guike Hall.

Fanning suddenly realized that something was wrong, it was not Jupei who came, it was someone else.

As soon as he stood up, he saw a group of flowery women outside the hall walking in, there were five or six women, and in the middle was a middle-aged beautiful woman about forty years old, with her hair combed in a high bun, her eyebrows were beautiful, and she was wearing a slightly wide gold silk embroidered gown, which was very elegant and decent.

She smiled and said softly, "You're Fanning!" I am Jupe's mother. ”

It turned out to be Jupei's mother, Fanning hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, "Junior, see Madame!" ”

Mrs. Zhu's surname is Wang, a native of Changzhou County, and she is also a famous lady, married Zhu Pei's father Zhu Xiaoyun and gave birth to two sons and a daughter, although the eldest son Zhu Zhe is nineteen years old, his intelligence is like a three-year-old child, which brings great pain to Wang.

Although she was only thirty-seven years old, she already had fine wrinkles at the corners of her eyes and forehead, and she looked like a woman in her forties.

Madame Wang had to take care of her mentally handicapped eldest son, and her energy was greatly occupied, so she had to hand over her youngest daughter Zhu Pei to her grandfather to raise, and did not take her back to the capital until she was ten years old.

Of course, Mrs. Wang knew about Fanning, and her sister, who married the Xu family, wrote to her many times to complain, saying how rude, how arrogant and domineering Fanning was, and she mixed with her daughter Zhu Pei all day long, and there was even gossip in the school.

Mrs. Wang knew very well what gossip meant, and she was immediately shocked and angry, and decided to prevent her daughter from going to school again.

It wasn't until Madame Wang found a stone sculpture of a teenager from her eldest son's room, and when she knew that the wood carving was Fanning, that she realized that the eldest sister was not telling the truth to herself.

The person who can make the eldest son Zhu Zhe like and let him remember the statue will never be the rude and rude that Sister said will not be.

Mrs. Wang believes in her eldest son even more, and the eldest son's pure and immaculate heart will never tolerate any cold and evil person.

Otherwise, why didn't the eldest son ever give a statue to his aunt?

"Little official, please take a seat!" Mrs. Wang's smile was very gentle, and she could feel that the child in front of her was knowledgeable.

Fanning sat down, a handmaid served tea to Madame Wang, and several handmaidens stood on either side of the gate.

Mrs. Wang sat down next to Fan Ning and asked with a smile, "When did the little official enter Beijing?" ”

Fan Ning hurriedly bowed and said, "Mrs. Hui, the juniors will go to Beijing in five days!" ”

Mrs. Wang nodded, "I heard that you did a good job in the boy's exam, not bad, and worthy of appreciation!" ”

"Mrs. Xie praised, the juniors are still far behind, but they are just lucky to do well in the exam."

Mrs. Wang laughed, "When Zhu Pei's father was admitted to the Jinshi, he also told my mother that he was just lucky to pass the exam, and later I learned that there was no fluke, it was just modest words." ”

"The younger generation doesn't dare to be!"

Mrs. Wang vaguely saw the shadow of her husband in Fan Ning, and she had a better impression of him in her heart.

As soon as she beckoned, a handmaid stepped forward and placed a beautiful wooden box on the coffee table, and Madame Wang opened the lid, and inside was a delicate stone carving villain.

"Does the little official know this little stone man?"

Fan Ning looked at the wood carefully, and was shocked in his heart, the small stone carving turned out to be himself, touching the back of his head and smirking, carved lifelike, naïve, even the hat he was wearing, the clothes he was wearing were all delicate, this should be the day of Zhu Yuanfu's old man's birthday.

"It's ..... Juppé's eldest brother's masterpiece? ”

Mrs. Wang smiled and nodded, "He just has this hobby, and this little stone statue will be given to you." ”

"Thank you! Thanks a lot! ”

Fan Ning thought for a while, took out a goose-shaped Tian Huang stone from the skin bag, and put it on the table, "This stone is called Tian Huang stone, which is the most suitable for carving, I will give it to Zhu Zhe, and ask Mrs. to transfer it to him for me." ”

"Thank you little official, I will definitely transfer it to him."

Although Mrs. Wang was very polite and warmly entertained, and used the distinguished guest hall to receive Fanning, Mrs. Wang did not mention Zhu Pei at all from beginning to end.

After sitting for a moment, Fanning had to get up and take his leave.

Madame Wang did not stay, and asked the housekeeper to send Fanning out of the house, and welcomed him very politely.

Walking out of the Zhu Mansion, Fan Ning breathed a sigh of relief, he was not a stupid person, of course he knew very well that Mrs. Wang was actually hinting at herself in a very tactful way, and tried to have as little interaction with Zhu Pei as possible in the future.

Of course, Fanning also fully understands that any mother will protect her daughter.

After all, Juppe has grown into a girl, even if she won't hurt Jupe, but Juppe is messing with a boy, and she also thinks about her daughter's reputation.

Fan Ning shook his head, in the past, Zhu Yuanfu never forbade Zhu Pei to associate with him, but when he arrived in the capital, Zhu Pei's parents would strictly restrain their daughter.

Well, go back and say to Xu Qing and let Xu Qing convey Zhu Pei, it's not that he doesn't know how to be grateful, he has done his best.

Fanning was looking for an ox cart on the side of the road when a horse-drawn cart came speeding up a side road, 'Gah! Stopped in front of Fanning, the car door opened, and Zhu Pei said with an unhappy face in the car: "Get in the car first!" ”

Fanning got into the carriage and saw Jian Meizi sitting behind him, still expressionless, as if he never knew himself.

Fanning had long been accustomed to her indifference, and asked Zhu Pei with a smile, "How did you know that I was coming?" ”

Ju Pei said angrily: "I have to fire that damn butler, and I don't even take me seriously!" ”

Fanning also felt that the housekeeper was a bit excessive, he was obviously here to see Jupei, even if he was not at ease, he could report to Jupei's mother, but he should also tell Jupei at the same time, this is the right thing to do.

He hid it from Jupei, which was also extremely disrespectful to the guests, and if this butler was not derelict in his duties, then he really didn't take Juppé in his eyes.

"And how did you know I was coming?" Fanning asked again.

"Sister Jian told me."

"But..... You rush out now, and your mother knows about it, and she'll be angry. ”

Zhu Pei said coldly after a while: "Since she didn't care about me since I was a child, why bother now?" ”
